The internet is such a useful and powerful tool at our disposal daily. We can use it to research the world over, to learn new languages, to gain knowledge - yet we seem to use it for the dumbest things - like on-line challenges. Enter The Mike & Carla Morning Show!

The latest online challenge: The Pantyhose-Candle Challenge. How does this sophisticated challenge work? You put a pair of pantyhose over your head and try to blow out a candle. That’s it.

After watching a few people - and by a few people, I mean SEVERAL people - attempt it on TikTok, and FAIL, I thought, "how tough can this be? Is there something I'm missing?"

So, I went out and got all the supplies: A candle, which are harder to find these days than you think, A lighter, which I don't think I ever really bought - except the long ones to light the BBQ, or a pilot light that went out somewhere along the way. PANTYHOSE?? I. nor any woman, has worn these since about 1995! These, also, not as easy to find AT ALL anymore! And I have no idea what size fits actually fits on my head, so I just grabbed the cheapest pair of evil pantyhose I could find, at $8.

I pulled the lovely pantyhose over my head - but I couldn't see - so I had to put my glasses on over them. I know it's a hot look, but calm down guys! Once they were on comfortably, and I could actually see a little bit, I lit the candle - which we're not really supposed to do in the studio, but so be it - IT WAS CHALLENGE TIME!

Now I kept seeing how IMPOSSIBLE it was to blow out the candle, so I didn't know what I was in for. I was ready to huff, and puff, like the big bad wolf (Google it kids), and - HERE WE GO!!!
