Raven’s Report Card: A Smelly Situation

Raven’s Report Card: A Smelly Situation

Earlier this week, Raven and Alicia’s dogs were sprayed by a skunk (again!) and Raven played the audio from the situation on air…without his wife’s knowledge. Will Raven’s grade drop drastically because of audio he used without Alicia’s consent? Find out!

What’s the longest road trip you’ve ever been on?  Anna has a 13 hour trip coming up, but that’s nothing compared to how long Raven drove once!  (:15)

Every Friday, Raven’s wife Alicia calls in to the show to give Raven a grade on how he did as a husband that week!  This week, Raven has been secretly playing audio of Alicia on the air and she’s not happy about it! (2:34)

Road construction is a necessary evil, but if you’re planning it during a holiday weekend, that’s all I need to know about you!  (6:15)

Anna has to go in for surgery.  Again.  Nothing serious, just scar tissue from her knee surgery earlier in the year, but when Anna heard what the scar tissue was called, she thought for sure the doctor was messing with her!  (9:56)

What’s your go-to road trip song?  Anna and Raven had listeners call in their favorites, but everyone knows that Producer Jon has already written the ultimate road trip anthem!  (13:54)

Have you ever thought about moving to Canada?  It’s a common sentiment when something controversial happens in this country, but Anna obtained a real Canadian citizenship test to see if anyone on the show would actually be able to live there! (17:41)

Should there be a curfew on fireworks during 4th of July weekend?  The question has divided social media comment sections all over the country, so Anna and Raven decided to have listeners call in and decide!  (21:39)

It’s time for Mommy’s Margarita Friday: Father’s Day Edition!  Moms (and Dads) share all the crazy things that their kids have put them through this week that have definitely earned them a margarita!  (27:43)

Gas prices got you down?  Play Raven in “Craig’s List Price Is Right” and you could win a $100 gas card!  (30:52)

Sean and Dana are planning their guest list for their wedding. Sean would like to invite his ex’s parents. He hasn’t spoken to his ex in years but remains very close with her parents and they even took him in when he was in high school. Dana says it’s time to cut that cord, it’s been many years now and she feels awkward that he would want them at their wedding. What do you think?  (33:14)

Patti thinks she’s got what it takes to beat Raven in pop culture trivia!  Can she succeed and win the $900 jackpot?  (40:01)
