Thursday June 16, 2022:  Unconventional Addiction; Internet Scams; The Facts About Monkey Pox

Thursday June 16, 2022:  Unconventional Addiction; Internet Scams; The Facts About Monkey Pox

What advice did your Dad give you that you still follow?  A website recently shared the #1 piece of fatherly advice that modern Dads give and it’s a lot more obvious than you might think!  (:30)

Anna has three crazy news stories and Raven is gonna pick one to talk about!  Today his options are; a barber attacked over a bad haircut, the worst excuse ever for using a counterfeit bill, and a man who rapped about robbing ATM’s gets arrested for robbing ATM’s.  (3:49)

Convenience is nice, but if you’re driving the wrong way down a one way street just to save some time, that’s all I need to know about you!  (6:21)

Have you ever fallen for an online scam?  Producer Jon almost fell for one the other day when he saw a scary message in his inbox!  (9:42)

What’s your strange (but legal) addiction?  Anna and Raven got one of the wildest calls they’ve ever had from a man who has an unexpected addiction to a particular fruit…  (16:55)

Do you find Dad Bod’s attractive?  Anna doesn’t but if you can convince her otherwise, you could win a $200 Home Depot gift card!  (28:13)

First it was covid and now everyone is talking about the Monkey Pox!  But is it really something to worry about?  Infectious disease expert Dr. Betina Fries spoke to Anna and Raven about what you need to know about this latest disease.  (30:57)

Tom owned a leather jacket that he LOVED and wore it everywhere. Hannah hated how it looked because it was all tattered and made him look like a “biker dude”. Finally, she had enough and she donated it without telling him and he’s furious.  She refuses and says she loves him; she cares to much about him to let him embarrass himself in that coat.  Whose side are you on?  (34:14)

Jojo and her Mom have a shot at $1300!  Can their combined efforts beat Raven and win them the jackpot?  (40:46)

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Retired teacher gets special surprise from her former Kindergarten class who are now High School Grads

We all have that one teacher we will never forget. They make a lasting impact that will stay with you your whole life. It’s always nice with kids realize that and do something good for their former teacher.

Like this video that’s starting to go viral of a retired kindergarten teacher  who’s former class of students just graduated from high school. They are her last group of kids to graduate. As a surprise they decided to show up at her house in their caps and gowns to thank her for all she did for them years ago.

The video is great! Get ready for the happy tears to flow

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What exactly is a Strawberry Moon?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What exactly is a Strawberry Moon?

You’ve probably heard a lot about the Strawberry Moon this week. It happened last night. But what exactly was it and what does it mean? The easiest way to describe it… it’s when the full super moon’s orbit is closest to the earth. The color isn’t exactly bright red like a Strawberry… it gets it’s name from back when indigenous groups of people in the northeast realized this time of year was best for picking ripe strawberries.

Wednesday June 15, 2022:  Useless Thing You Won’t Throw Away; Warn Your Ex’s New Partner; Worst Place To Get A Sunburn

What was the one thing that your parents absolutely never wanted you to do?  Usually it’s something dangerous, but for Anna it all had to do with pizza…  (:30)

Raven has been out all week and broadcasting from home.  You can probably guess why.  For Wellness Wednesday, Anna decided to go over all the ways that Raven can get better, faster!  (3:01)

True love is a beautiful thing, but if you fast-track a lifelong commitment, that’s all I need to know about you! (6:31)

Have you ever been part of a break-up that was so bad that you felt the need to warn the next person who dates your ex?  Anna and Raven got a call from a listener having that exact problem…  (10:13)

The baby formula shortage has been tough, but Anna saw a trending news story about another shortage that could be just as impactful!  (17:05)

Do you find Dad Bod’s attractive?  Anna doesn’t but if you can convince her otherwise, you could win a $200 Home Depot gift card!  Today, Anna spoke fitness expert Amy Llinas to determine if a Dad Bod is not only attractive, but also healthy!  (20:24)

Sam thinks his wife, Regina, is “buying into the baby proofing hype”. She wants to put gates at every stairwell, install hideous plastic things all around their furniture corners, and put plastic knobs over all the doorknobs.  He thinks it’s stupid.  Teach the kid not to go down the stairs, let him learn the hard way.  Plus, who pays for a company to do this for them? Whose side are you on?  (35:11)

Meghan has a shot at $1200!  All she has to do is beat Raven in pop culture trivia!  (41:53)
