Nobody likes being late and having to rush, but if you drive right through a crosswalk with kids around, and then do THIS to the person who calls you out, that’s all I need to know about you!  (2:24)

Every Friday, Raven’s wife Alicia calls in to the show and gives Raven a grade on how good a husband he was that week.  This week, Alicia turned 40!  Did Raven do a good job celebrating this important milestone, or did he epically fail?  Find out in the podcast!  (6:07)

Have you ever used the Next Door app?  It’s a great tool to find out what’s going on in your neighborhood, but the comment’s section can get a little ridiculous.  So naturally, Anna and Raven decided to act out some of their favorites! (22:21)

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Guy In New Hampshire Uses Apple Watch To Save His Own Life

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Guy In New Hampshire Uses Apple Watch To Save His Own Life

Make fun of Apple all you want but sometimes these devices are life savers.

This guy in New Hampshire was ice skating all alone last Sunday (probably not the smartest idea in the first place) when all of the sudden he fell through the ice. Luckily he was able to think fast and use his Apple Watch to call 911. Firefighters showed up five minutes later and were able to save his life.

Amazing.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Do bees ever sting other bees?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Do bees ever sting other bees?

Weird one, I know. But yes it’s true! Humans aren’t the only things bees go after.

When bees are protecting their hives from outsiders, some of the “guard bees” will stay by the entrance and be on the lookout for other bees that try to come in. If there’s a rogue bee from another hive trying to steal some nectar, the guard bee will bite and even sting the intruder. Seems like it would be more difficult to sting another bee than a human, but it does happen. Crazy!
