Raven’s Pet Pals – Meet Cottonball!

Raven’s Pet Pals – Meet Cottonball!

Cottonball is an 11-month-old rabbit who has been waiting for a home in our Westport location for some time now. She’s a very sweet, loving rabbit. Due to her size, she’s going to need to live in a home where she’ll be able to free roam. She was found as a stray by Stamford animal control when she was only 3 months old, and she was transferred to CHS for care and to be adopted. She was spayed thanks to an outside veterinary practice, and now she’s ready to be adopted. You can find out more about Cottonball and other animals at the www.cthumane.org

Is there a food you wouldn’t eat, no matter how hungry you are?  Anna would never eat a bug, but Producer Sean refuses to eat a well known delicacy! (:33)

It can be hard to fit exercise into your schedule, but Anna found some great tips on how to do some quick, easy things throughout the day to start burning calories! (4:20)

If you’ve been standing in line for a while and still don’t know your order when it’s your turn, that’s all I need to know about you! (8:17)

Everyone has got a great story about their mom, but they can’t all be true right?  Anna invited the entire show to tell a story about their mom and guess if that story is fact or fiction! (11:37)

When people come to your house for the first time, do you offer them a tour?  Anna has always felt uncomfortable touring someone’s home, but she’s about to have to do it constantly! (19:17)

What does your “mom rage” look like?  Every mom loses their cool every once in a while, so Anna and Raven asked some kids to describe what their moms do when they get mad! (25:50)

Your mom is the best, but nobody has a perfect record, right? Anna and Raven want to hear about the time that your mom fell a little bit short of perfection! (29:39)

Fred and Alissa’s daughter is in second grade. Because it’s Teacher Appreciation Week, the class mom requested $10 from each child to cover a gift from the class. Alissa always gives her own gift, a more expensive, personal one. Fred thinks that it looks bad that she does that. It’s like she’s sucking up to the teacher and should just contribute the same that every other child does. What do you think? Is it sucking up to buy your own gift when there’s a class collection?  (35:49)

Jill has got a shot at 100 bucks!  All she has to do is beat Raven in pop culture trivia! (42:07)

Margaret Beat Raven!

Tuesday May 9, 2023: Big Chain Excitement; Mom-isms; Spring Fashion

What do Raven and international movie star Chris Pratt have in common?  Not a whole lot, but Anna may have found their single similarity! (:33)

Do you have a “spirit animal”?  Does your mom? In celebration of Mother’s Day, Anna and Raven asked a group of kids what animal best describes their mom! (3:54)

Having your high beams on while driving on a busy road is annoying, but if you still believe the old urban myths about flashing those high beams, that’s all I need to know about you! (6:56)

Have you ever been excited about a new chain store or restaurant coming to your town? Both Anna and Raven have big chain stores coming to their towns and they’re pumped! (10:04)

For years, the internet has mocked King Charles over his “sausage fingers”.  But according to Dr. Jennifer Wider, it’s actually a real medical condition! (16:56)

Do you have any “mom-isms” you say in your daily life?  Anna swore she would never use any of her own mother’s annoying sayings, until she suddenly caught herself using three of them yesterday! (20:42)

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 reason we should all be showing teachers some love! (28:03)

Spring fashion has arrived, so Anna and Raven spoke to Erin Herman and Lauren Perez from the Laurine Group to get the scoop on this season’s best looks! (31:17)

Westly’s father passed away a couple of months ago and he has offered his mother to live with him while she grieves so she’s not alone. His wife, Shawna, says they should establish a time limit so that she doesn’t overstay. She says they should do it right now before she comes and she is still upset he didn’t talk to her first about the offer. What do you think? Is it rude to put a one month time limit on the arrangement? (35:17)

Margaret thinks she’s got what it takes to beat Raven in pop culture trivia! Can she succeed and win the $3100 jackpot? (43:52)

Is Anna Zap Out Of Line?!

Is Anna Zap Out Of Line?!

At a school fundraiser, Anna won four front row tickets to her daughter’s 8th grade graduation ceremony. Her daughter is mortified and doesn’t want them in the front row. Is Anna Zap out of line because she’s going to sit there anyway and cheer on her daughter?!

It’s good manners to tip the wait staff, but should you have to tip the chefs as well?  One restaurant started doing this and Anna and Raven aren’t sure how to feel about it… (:30)

Are you up to date with this week’s biggest news stories?  Anna and Raven will get you caught up with what’s trending, and today’s all about Kings and crowns! (4:13)

Is Anna Zap out of line?  She won a special prize at a school auction recently, but when her daughter heard about it, she was mortified! (15:19)

Did you do something nice for someone over the weekend, but didn’t get any credit? Anna and Raven will give you the credit due!  Producer Jon think’s he deserves credit for a very nice present he brought for the entire show! (23:06)

What would you do if someone kept parking in your assigned spot?  Anna has already contacted the building manager, but that didn’t work so now she’s looking for wrong answers only! (30:10)

Dave and his girlfriend Ellie were invited to a wedding. It’s a very good friend of Ellies, and she thinks it would be appropriate to give $500. Ellie thinks she should split the gift with her boyfriend who will be going as her date. Dave says no way. He’ll put $100 towards the gift but asking for him to put in $250 is absurd. She says that they’re a couple now! They should split everything including the gift, it’s not like they can’t afford it! He says it’s her friend, she should put in the $400 if it means so much to her and he’s only giving the $100. What do you think about that? (36:59)

Briana has got a shot to win $3000!  All she has to do is beat Raven in pop culture trivia! (43:56)
