If you work at a restaurant, do you automatically give celebrities a table?  A major celebrity had to wait for a table recently, but her reaction wasn’t what you might expect!  (:15)

Every Friday, Raven’s wife Alicia calls in to give Raven a grade on how he did as a husband that week!  This week, Raven and Alicia are getting to the end of their dog’s recovery from leg surgery, and they have slightly different opinions on how to handle it! (3:55)

When you’re looking for a new home, do you have any deal breakers?  Nowadays the market is so competitive that most people will get what they can, but Anna’s husband has one non-negotiable that Anna can’t stand!  (7:17)

Live music is a great part of summertime, but if you’re bringing the kids to a rowdy music festival then that’s all I need to know about you!  (18:08)

Have you ever taken up a hobby just to make your spouse happy?  Anna decided to learn a new skill so she can spend more quality time with her husband, but she needs some advice on how to get good at it!  (21:24)

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!  (28:22)

Anna has three crazy news stories and Raven is gonna pick one to talk about!  Today his options are; a church group in need of a rescue, a shocking moment for a group of golfers and creepy, but potentially useful, new technology from Amazon!  (32:18)

James and Ellen have a 24-year-old son that lives at home with them. He has expressed interest in dating one of Ellen’s gym friends who is 41-years-old. Ellen was angry about it and said absolutely not. James says that telling their adult son “no”, will only make him want to do it more. He thinks they should give their blessing and let it run its course. What would you do?  (35:49)

Debbie has got a shot at $400!  Can she beat Raven in pop culture trivia and win the jackpot?  (44:03)

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Basketball player saves referee’s life mid-game

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Basketball player saves referee’s life mid-game

This was a scary moment on the court last weekend during a minor league basketball game in New York that luckily ended in a good way.

One of the referees had a heart attack in the middle of the game. Fortunately, there happened to be a player named Myles Copeland on one of the teams who also works as a firefighter.  He sprung into action from the bench when he saw what was happened, did CPR, and saved the guy’s life!

Paramedics arrived on the scene and were able to get him to a hospital.  The latest was that he’s doing good and now set to have heart surgery. 

As a nice little bonus nugget to the story… once he was safely at the hospital Myles and his teammates finished playing the game and WON!

Here is the incredible video of when everything happened.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why did they invent Play-Doh?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why did they invent Play-Doh?

If you have kids you probably know the “Play-Doh trick”. If you want them to have some non-screen time, busting out the tub of Play-Doh is a perfect creative way to kill and hour or so. But it wasn’t originally a toy at all.

Play-Doh was first created as a wallpaper cleaner. Which kind of makes sense when you think of the consistency of it. Then over the years once they saw how kids were playing with it they decided to make different colors and market it to children as a fun activity.
