Thursday October 14, 2021: Kicked Out; Sincere Shatner; A Social Experiment

What does “a few minutes late” really mean?  5 mins? 20? According to a new study, Americans are pretty divided on the issue!  (:30)

Anna’s got three crazy news stories and Raven’s gonna pick one to talk about!  Today his options are; another crazy 911 call, a naked man defends his automobile, and a surprise stowaway on a trip to Vegas!  (2:55)

Have you ever been cut off at a bar or restaurant?  Anna got kicked out of a cheap chain restaurant she’s pretty sure it’s because she ordered too many potato skins…  (6:28)

Being stuck in traffic when you need to use the bathroom is a terrible feeling, but if you try to solve it by doing THIS, that’s all I need to know about you!  (20:20)

William Shatner was launched into space at the age of 90 yesterday!  But after he landed, Anna suspected that one part of his journey might have been made up…  (23:40)

During today’s show, Anna and Raven have tasked Producer Sean with conducting a social experiment.  After hours of research into important scientific matters, Sean is finally ready to reveal the results!  (27:06)

Cody and Sarah recently moved in together, and even though they share the chores, Cody doesn’t take care of Sarah’s cat.  Sarah says that’s not fair, but Cody says it’s not his cat, and moving in together didn’t change that!  Whose side are you on? (34:48)

Theresa thinks she’s got what it takes to beat Raven in pop culture trivia!  Can she succeed and win the $100 jackpot?  (42:54)

Anna & Raven: Eating Grass

Anna & Raven: Eating Grass

Dogs eat some pretty gross things, but grass was at the top of the list! Why do dogs like grass so much? What does grass even taste like? Luckily, we have Producer Sean here to try a few blades of it.

Wednesday October 13, 2021: Ethics of Password Sharing; Embarrass Your Kids; What Job Makes You a Jerk

Does your dog eat gross stuff?  Anna found a list of the top ten things your dog shouldn’t eat, and she’s pretty sure her dog has eaten all of them!  (:30)

Do you want to become a billionaire one day?  Most people do, and Anna found the one thing that all billionaires have in common!  (3:31)

People make empty threats all the time when they’re angry, but if you threaten to steal someone’s social security number that’s all I need to know about you!  (7:14)

Do you share your passwords for streaming services?  Everyone does it right?  Anna’s having some ethical questions about it, so she’s leaving the decision up to the callers!  (10:19)

When was the last time you were in a library?  Even if it’s been a while, you may want to go back after hearing about this big rule change!  (16:26)

Are you an embarrassing parent?  Odds are if you have a child over the age of 10, the answer is yes.  Anna wanted to find out what makes her an embarrassing parent, so she went right to the source…  (19:58)

Can you tell if someone’s a jerk based off of their job?  Anna had a preconceived notion about someone she interacted with yesterday based entirely on their job, only to be pleasantly surprised when she actually spoke to him!  (27:30)

Nick Lauren.  Lauren is going on a girls trip this weekend, but her fold friend Billy is going on the trip too.  She says that Billy was always like a brother to her and her friends, but her husband Nick says it’s totally inappropriate!  Whose side are you on?  (38:11)

Hannah has got a shot at $900!  Can she beat Raven in pop culture trivia and claim the prize? (46:11)

Hannah Beats Raven To Win $900!

Hannah Beats Raven To Win $900!

A big congratulations goes to Hannah! She beat Raven at his own game this morning and won herself the $900 jackpot! That means tomorrow morning, we reset the jackpot to $100! Thank you for playing Hannah!

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Restaurant operates only on donations and business is booming

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Restaurant operates only on donations and business is booming

I feel like if we had more places and ideas like this the world would be a better place.

There’s a restaurant in Fort Worth, Texas called Taste Community that’s all donation based.  There are no prices on the menu. You just pay whatever you can afford. This makes it so people who are struggling can always get a free meal.  But what the owners have realized is that people have been paying way MORE than they normally would, because they want to support the place and keep it open.  It has been open for about four years now and is still going strong. They just passed a milestone of serving their 100,000th meal!

Someone should open up a place like this here in Connecticut. I feel like it would do really well!

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Where does the word “phony” come from?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Where does the word “phony” come from?

The word “phony” when you’re referring to someone or something as being fake comes from a shortened version of the word “telephone”.  Older phones had such bad audio quality that it would make people’s voices sound fake.

I feel like this sounds like a “phony” explanation (haha)… but it’s true!

Sparkling Water Is No Good!?

Sparkling Water Is No Good!?

After reading several stories that seltzer water is rotting American’s teeth, there was only one person that could get to the bottom of it, Raven’s dentist, Dr. Larry.
