We all seem to think we know a lot, but down deep, there are a lot of things we just don't know! Don't feel bad, there were a lot of listeners coming clean this morning. That's why The Mike & Carla Morning Show thought it would interesting to find out what those things actually were.

The one that came up most is that a lot of us do not know our blood type! Much more than that, how to find out what it is. It just seems to be a hassle! Have you asked your doctor recently? What was his answer?

However, during this segment, M&C actually gave listeners wanting to know a way to go about it. It's easy, inexpensive and you can get it without going anywhere! See, we've peaked your interest right? It was so fascinating that both Mike O'Brian and Carla Rea thought it was the best way to find out! Interesting enough, those in the medical field listening this morning gave the show the idea!

Other things a lot of us did not know, why are some words spelled the same way, but pronounced differently? Got to be honest, didn't have an answer for that one. But another thing most will admit they don't know, off the top of their head, how many days in each of the months.

You're going to have to listen to the segment from this morning to find this out. Now Carla gave one example of how to remember, while one listener gave another. Mike even admitted that getting a physical calendar might be less confusing than any of the ideas from this morning. But that's up to you!

Snapping fingers, winking, whistling and much more came up. To be fair, these are just human tricks you learn growing up, the fact that you don't know how to do them is from a lack of practice. However, Mike did admit he can't whistle or roll his R's! Hey, we all have something we can't do...but when it comes to not knowing, that's different.

Listen to the segment below and enjoy!
