Why Carla Rea Got ‘Shamed’ The Other Day

There are different levels of "shaming", but we think we've reached a new low. Our very own Carla Rea got shamed the other day and you're never going to believe for what! Talking to a friend, Carla said she mentioned her need for new brushes for her Oral B toothbrush. Upon hearing this, her friend was SHOCKED (shocked) to find out she didn't use a Sonicare brand!

So, that became the topic of conversation on The Mike & Carla Morning Show! Now as far as Carla is concerned, she wasn't aware that get shamed for a brand of toothbrush was even a thing...well guess what? Clearly it is...especially with this one friend. Not sure how many others go with Sonicare as opposed to Oral B. Or even if there is that much of a difference. We're sure that the difference is minor with the results the same. But to "shame" someone for it is a little low as far as we are concerned.

But that's what The M&C Morning Show wanted to know...what's the lowest form of shaming you've been subjected to? The text lines blew up and listeners started calling in to voice their experiences to M&C. One listener simply said "generic" brands versus name brands! He's a "generic" kind of guy, but gets shamed all the time from family and friends for going generic.

Toilet paper was another subject of shaming that came up. One woman said that with her family visiting, they couldn't get over the fact that she was a "Charmin" person! Seriously? For most of us it gets down to one ply or two, but never specific brands.

Hey, we get each person has their favorites, but when it gets down to, "...if you're using an Oral B brush, don't think I'll be able to make lunch tomorrow!" That's a little ridiculous right? Well, you can listen to the entire segment below...and enjoy!

Emojis are here to stay. In fact, pretty much every age group uses emojis now. Whether you're a Gen Z or a grandparent of a Gen Z, you've probably used emojis on a regular basis. So, which emojis can make people like you? Okay, these aren't guarantied to win homecoming court or anything. But, these emojis tend to be the ones that personally make me happy, and they're among the most popular emojis that people use, too.

Adobe's most recent emoji report, the "Future of Creativity: 2022 U.S. Emoji Trend Report," released last fall, surveyed 5,000 emoji users from the United States. They discovered that the emojis enhances "our everyday lives, especially when it comes to self-expression, relationship building, and mental health. The versatility of emoji allows for endless possibilities to connect with each other, as their meanings evolve and inclusivity expands."

Paul D. Hunt, typeface designer and font developer at Adobe, and Kamile Demir, computer scientist at Adobe and Adobe representative on the Unicode Emoji Subcommittee, discussed their emoji thoughts on the new report. "Emoji give people the resources they need to be able to express themselves and show their emotions, whether it be on social media or messaging apps. They allow people to convey more than just words on a screen and connect more deeply to others," Demir said.

One other reason why emojis are so popular is because the online connection can be very cold. Hence, emojis give a human aspect to those online and digital communications. "When we spend so much time behind screens, those desires increase without the in-person markers of tone, facial expressions, and body language," Adobe states. Emojis help bring emotion and life to an otherwise very stale form of conversation. Ready to get your emoji on? Read on for some facts about emojis and what emojis are most popular- and could make people like you more.

According to Adobe, 73 percent of those surveyed think that just using an emoji in your messages makes you cooler, friendlier, and funnier. This applies both in the workplace and in your personal life!

According to Adobe, a whopping 91 percent of people in their emoji survey said that the emoji brings levity to conversations. Moreover, moreover 60 percent of those surveyed believed emojis can boost our overall mental health.

According to Adobe, there are certain emojis that are perfect when dating. They are totally no surprise. The three emoji that will make you more appealing to a lover are 😘, 🥰, or 😍. I use all three of those!

If you're trying to put your best foot forward, don't use emojis that will turn someone off in a dating situation. The emojis that are most likely to turn people off are 💩, 😠, and 🍆, according to Adobe. Yeah, those are gross.

The most misunderstood emojis, according to Adobe, are 🤠, 🍒, and 🙃. I mean, who doesn't get a cherry? It's a cherry emoji. Nothing to misunderstand here. And, the cowboy surprises me, too. It's a cowboy, plain and simple.

Here we go! According to the report, emojis users' top five favorite emojis are 😂, 👍, ❤️, 🤣 and 😢. I would use the crying one sparingly. But, it totally makes sense that the laughing fact would be No. 1. That's such a popular emoji!
