Friday May 13, 2022:  Your Supernatural Story; Beard or Mustache; National Etiquette Week

Happy Friday the 13th!  Right, is that a thing?  Even if you fear Friday the 13th, Anna has some good news about it!  (:30)

Every Friday, Raven’s wife Alicia calls in to give Raven a grade on how he did as a husband that week!  With their vow renewal ceremony coming up, Alicia has been watching what she eats so she can look great in photos!  But has Raven been doing the same?  (2:43)

Friday the 13th can be a spooky day, but if you’re refusing to leave your house today, that’s all I need to know about you!  (6:43)

If you have a full beard, do you also have a mustache?  The topic has been hotly debated in professional baseball and Producers Jon and Sean have very strong feelings about it!  (10:27)

When you work in the radio business, you end up being an “announcer” at random events often.  But Anna and Raven had no sympathy for this massive announcer fail at a recent lotto drawing!  (14:17)

Have you ever experienced a paranormal event?  Tell Anna and Raven about it and you could win a $5 gift card!  (18:13)

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!  (29:32)

What are the most common etiquette mistakes that people make every day?  You might be making more than you think!  Anna and Raven spoke to etiquette expert Karen Thomas to help get some guidance on how to handle social situations.  (33:21)

Every year, Drew and Dana have a big tag sale and Drew hates it. It’s a lot of work and they make very little money from it. Drew just wants to rent a dumpster and throw everything away! Dana says it’s a complete waste. What would you do?  (37:20)

Jo has got a shot at $7300, the largest Can’t Beat Raven jackpot ever!  Can she beat Raven in pop culture trivia and claim the prize?  (44:40)

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: This one school’s graduation surprise will either make you really jealous or happy

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: This one school’s graduation surprise will either make you really jealous or happy

Graduation season is upon us. All across the country students are walking the stage, grabbing their diploma, and venturing into the “real world” with the rest of us. Hoping to find a job that will allow them to pay off those loans as quickly as possible.

Unless you’re a student at Wiley College in east Texas…

During their graduation ceremony last Saturday the school’s president came out at the end to make a special surprise announcement. Every graduate’s student loans had all been PAID OFF completely. Wait, what?!  Yep. A donor who chose to remain anonymous put up $300,000 of their own money to make it happen for the kids.

Unreal! And very thoughtful. Life changing even.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: How often do you REALLY need to change your car’s oil?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: How often do you REALLY need to change your car’s oil?

Ever since I’ve been driving a car I’ve always heard you should change your oil every 3,000 miles. But now some people say that’s a myth. Both things are kind of true.

The 3,000 mile thing used to be the case with older model cars. But now that technology has improved and cars are much newer most new cars can go about 7500 miles before needing to change the oil. Certain manufacturers like Ford, Volkswagen, Porsche, and certain Toyota engines are built for for even longer… about 10,000 miles. And BMW engines can actually run on the same oil for 15,000 miles!

Crazy.

Thursday May 12, 2022:  The Pet You Regret; Sharing a Toothbrush; Fit Bit Forensics

Thursday May 12, 2022:  The Pet You Regret; Sharing a Toothbrush; Fit Bit Forensics

Do you ever get a random crazy DM on social media?  Anna got one on her personal Instagram and she’s thinking of replying…  (:30)

It’s nice to spend quality time with your spouse, but if you do all of your chores with them too, that’s all I need to know about you!  (2:28)

A Fit Bit can be a useful tool for getting into shape, but apparently it can also be used to help solve a murder!  (5:52)

Peaceful protest can be an effective strategy to change a policy you’re upset about, but one Hollywood actor may have gone a bit overboard with his protest in a Starbucks…  (9:49)

Have you ever had a pet you regret?  Anna’s toddler wants a new pet, but Anna thinks it’s a bad idea, so she and her husband came up with a plan to keep their daughter happy and pet-free…  (12:55)

Anna does something that Raven (and most other people) thinks is super gross, but now that a major celebrity has revealed that they do the same thing, Anna feels vindicated!  (24:51)

Anna’s got three crazy news stories and Raven is gonna pick one to talk about!  Today his options are; a gender reveal party gone wrong, a man protests Taco Bell by exercising and two people hospitalized over a donut. (28:17)

When Kelly attended her six-year-old daughter’s parent/teacher conference, she fibbed and said that she and her daughter read every night for thirty minutes. The teacher suggested a reading tutor since their daughter was falling behind. Kelly’s husband, Eddie, is upset that Kelly lied to the teacher about reading every night and thinks she should email the teacher and fess up. What do you think?  (31:24)

Gayle has got a chance to win $7200, the largest Can’t Beat Raven jackpot ever!  All she has to do is beat Raven in pop culture trivia!  (38:18)
