Friday July 26, 2024: Call In Sick; Assigned Seating; Fired Friday

Everybody wants to look like an Olympian right? According to the experts, it’s not a healthy thing to aspire to!

The Olympics are underway and Anna is excited! But what if you were an Olympian and suddenly found yourself too sick to compete…

Anna has three crazy news stories but Raven can only pick one! Today his options are; an aggressive whale, professional gaming injuries, and a flying fish!

It’s time to play Fired Friday! Tell Anna and Raven what went wrong at work, and they’ll try to guess if you got fired!

Are you up to date on this week’s biggest news stories? Anna and Raven will get you caught up on what’s trending, including the massive chicken bone lawsuit!

What’s the worst crowd you’ve ever been in? Soccer fans have a rowdy reputation, but one of the crowds at the Olympics went too far!

Do you enjoy assigned seating? An airline just broke a fifty year tradition, but Anna isn’t sure if this is a good thing…

The Olympics are finally here, but some people France are going to extreme lengths to disrupt the games!

It’s time for Mommy’s Margarita Friday! Moms (and Dads) share all the crazy things that their kids have put them through this week that have definitely earned them a margarita!

It’s the end of an era! One of the most famous performers in the world has played their last show at the world’s most famous arena!

Chris has a terrible relationship with his father stemming from his childhood. His father is getting remarried and he is not invited. He has decided that he’s going to crash the wedding to “ruin” his father’s day, it’s his form of revenge. Tricia thinks this is the most idiotic thing she’s ever heard and thinks he needs to just get over it and let the failed relationship be.

Christy has got a shot at $2200! All she has to do is beat Raven in pop culture trivia!

Copy the Sound Challenge

Copy the Sound Challenge but with studio sound effects!! Anna and Raven’s facial expressions say it all😬😅

Why SoundWaters?

Because at SoundWaters we believe through education we can protect and preserve Long Island Sound. Every day, on land and at sea, we educate and inspire children from all backgrounds to understand, value and protect our precious resource of Long Island Sound.

When we engage children in rigorous and dynamic hands on science that connects them to the Sound in a meaningful way, their perspective will be forever changed and they will become better students and lifelong environmental stewards who actively protect Long Island Sound. SoundWaters is the #1 choice of schools that study Long Island Sound.

Anna is always humiliated when Raven does this one thing when he forgets someone’s name… She doesn’t understand why he thinks it’s right! Would you do the same? Get the whole story in the podcast.
