May 11, 2022 - National Eat What You Want Day | National Twilight Zone Day

Welcome to May 11, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate comfort food and scary television. If you have felt the pressure of watching what you eat then, today it’s time to give in to the food you love the most. Today we give you permission to skip the calorie counting and google up your favorite comfort food. Chips, cookies, pizza, or maybe some cake. Just enjoy yourself. If anyone asks why you’re on your second bag of potato chips, tell them to lighten up. It’s National Eat What You Want Day and you’re allowed to pig out if you choose, though getting crumbs on the couch is probably too far. The next time you find yourself in the window seat of an airplane, check out the wall above the window. If you see a sticker shaped like a small, black triangle, then you’re in the best spot to view the wing flaps. It’s called William Shatner’s Seat, a reference to the famous Twilight Zone episode called Nightmare at 20,000 Feet. Shatner’s character spots a monster on the wing of his flight and watches in horror as the beast tears the wing apart. But when he alerts the crew, Shatner realizes that no one can see the monster but him. Today is National Twilight Zone Day, a perfect time to revisit this classic series. We just don’t recommend it as in-flight viewing. I’m Anna Devere and I’m Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
