Friday May 6, 2022: Raven’s Report Card; That Time Mom Forgot You; Anna’s New Tattoo

How do you remember your password? Most people just rely on their memory, but Anna has other methods… (:30)

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! After falling victim to an internet scam, Raven has had to spend the week making sure his family’s private information is secure. Will Alicia be sympathetic? (3:42)

Mother’s Day is a special day for mom’s everywhere, but if you’re the type of mom who claims they don’t want anything, that’s all I need to know about you! (7:38)

Mother’s Day is coming up and Anna and Raven want to hear your Mother’s Day confession! Is there something you’ve always wanted to tell your Mom, but you haven’t had the guts to do? Or are you a Mom who has made a few mistakes in your parenting life? Call 833-431-0905 and leave your Mother’s Day Confession! (10:24)

Looking to make your mom breakfast in bed this Mother’s Day? Anna and Raven invited the Food Network’s Chef Plum on the air to give you an easy yet delicious Mother’s Day recipe! (14:20)

Did your Mom ever leave you somewhere as a child? Or have you ever left your kid somewhere by mistake? Anna and Raven want to hear your stories and the best story wins a $5 gift card! (17:18)

Despite her better judgement, Anna is getting a new tattoo! Her tattoo artist, “Speed”, came on the show to walk her through the process! (24:56)

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! (28:11)

Anna has got a new game to play! In honor of Mother’s Day, she decided to quiz her daughters to see which one knows her better! (31:45)

Nicole and Henry’s daughter wants to be a part of “Senior Skip Day” at her school. Mom is not on board, she is so close to perfect attendance, why would she ruin it for one day? Dad disagrees, it’s a rite of passage, skip the day and be with your high school friends! Would you condone “Skip Day”? (35;27)

Maryanne has got a shot at $6800! Can she beat Raven in pop culture trivia and claim the prize? (43:01)

Thursday May 5, 2022: Anna Tries On Her Wedding Dress; Junk in the Trunk; Mother’s Day Confessions

Do you have any drive-thru habits? Anna found a study that lists the 3 most common things that people do when they go to the drive-thru and she definitely does one of them every time! (:30)

Mother’s Day is coming up and if you’re a Mom you deserve your special day! But if you still haven’t told anyone in your family what you actually want to DO on Mother’s Day, that’s all I need to know about you! (6:34)

What’s the most surprising thing you have in the trunk of your car? Anna found a list of useful things to keep in your car, including jumper cables and a first aid kit, but couldn’t understand why Raven had two tanks of acid and duct tape in his trunk… (10:33)

After seeing all the pictures from the Met Gala, Anna got inspired! She decided to have all of the guys on the show dress in fancy clothes and she’s going to try on her vacuum-sealed wedding dress for the first time in 17 years! (28:37)

Adam and Katie are divorced parents. Katie is upset that her ex-husband keeps the kids up past 10pm on school nights. (They are seven and ten years old) Adam says he works late and those nights are the best times to see them. He argues that they’re rested enough! Katie says it’s messing with their schoolwork. What do you think? (39:04)

Lisa and her kids are teaming up to take on Raven in pop culture trivia! Can they succeed and win the $6700 jackpot? (46:19)
