How many times have you been pulled over?  How many of those times have you gotten away with it?  Raven ends up with a ticket 90% of the time he gets pulled over, but Anna found a list of the top 3 excuses to tell a cop when you get pulled over, so maybe that will help!  (:30)

Are you up to date on what’s trending?  Don’t worry, Anna and Raven have already read the entire internet, and can get you up to speed!  This morning the current trends are; Elon Musk’s surprise SNL announcement, Kentucky Derby Winner Medina Spirit, and Nurse Appreciation Week.  Why?  Anna and Raven will explain!  (3:12)

What if you could go through your friend’s phone and read all their texts?  What would you find out?  That’s exactly what Anna gets to do in “Raid Raven’s Phone”!  Anna goes through Raven’s phone and reads his text messages out loud on the air.  Her impression of Raven’s voice is hysterical!  (17:22)

Has your child ever accidentally bought something online?  A 4 year old boy has gone viral for ordering over 2K dollars’ worth of Spongebob popsicles!  But at least that’s a wholesome mistake, one mom called in with a story about her teenage son buying something a little less innocent!  (21:11)

Whats the first thing you did after you got divorced?  Bill and Melinda Gates are getting a divorce and when there’s this much money involved, things are bound to get weird.  But Anna was still surprised by the first thing Melinda did after the announcement!  (26:40)

Couples Court: Dan and Elise are getting married and his brother (also his best man) has asked if they would be okay with him proposing to his girlfriend during the wedding.

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Woman Beats Cancer Then Decides To Climb Mount Everest With Her Mom

This Sunday you’ll probably celebrate Mother’s Day with a very nice brunch, cooking pancakes at home for Mom, or even taking Mom to one of her favorite places in Connecticut. But I can guarantee none of you will be celebrating how this mother daughter team is.

Jess Wedel is a a cancer survivor from Oklahoma who is currently climbing Mount Everest with her 61-year-old mom, Valari.  They’ve been on their journey and were waiting for better weather to do the last stretch.  That better weather has come right in time for Mother’s Day. If they make it to the top, they’ll be the first mother-daughter team from the U.S. to ever conquer Everest together.

Good luck, ladies!

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why are carnations the most popular flower for Mother’s Day?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why are carnations the most popular flower for Mother’s Day?

Let’s be honest, Mom would probably enjoy any kind of flower you get her but for some reason carnations are always the most popular. Why is that?

A woman named Anna Jarvis created Mother’s Day in the early 1900s and at the time she was pushing for President Woodrow Wilson to declare Mother’s Day an official holiday. This started the trend of wearing a carnation to honor all the mothers. Over the years it became tradition to get red or pink carnations as a nice gift to celebrate your mom.

Hear that Dads… now you know why you’re buying those beautiful looking carnations this weekend.

Coldplay Debuts New Song “Higher Power” In Space!

Coldplay Debuts New Song “Higher Power” In Space!

A very exciting New Music Friday this week! Two of our favorite Star artists both dropping new songs on the same day. Coldplay and P!nk.

Let’s start with Coldplay. They’re finally back with new music after that last arty album a few years ago which had flutes and handclapping on most of the songs. Now it seems they’re back to big hooks and hits in 2021.

The new song is called “Higher Power” and they will be performing it on American Idol this Sunday night as part of Coldplay Night on the show. All the contestant will perform Coldplay songs.

To celebrate the release the guys also did a video chat with French astronaut who is currently on board the International Space Station. Pretty neat.
