The Anna & Raven Show

Anna is standing on the fact that Raven lost the weight loss challenge! Clothes on for the first weigh in, clothes on for the last! You snooze you lose!  Trigger, Sniper, Caliber? These are real life names parents are naming their children. Is this taking it too far?  It is no longer socially acceptable to enter someone's house and ask if for a house tour. It's deemed the "rudest" thing when visiting someone. Anna has never seen her bestfriends upstairs floor of her house.  What was the longest you ever went without showering? Men are now pheromone maxing, to hopefully gain more attention from woman. Is TikTok just the platform for bad ideas?  Most annoying phone traits. Walking with your head buried in the phone is now deemed annoying AND unsafe to where the Italian government may start fining people for crossing the street looking down!  Pick em news! Door dash driver delivery... naked, Cereal Butt sniffer arrested again, Subway customer freak out after extra charge to toast.  Anna was stood behind 2 men who we're well over 7 feet at a pitbull concert over the weekend. This should be illegal! Concerts need a designated short (or tall!) section. Anna and Nick discuss the "unsaid" rules of attending a show!  Am I close? Labor Day weekend is approaching, so today Justin will be quizzing Anna and Nick on the Straw Hat Riot!  Recently, a doctor went viral for telling a story about how she woke up with a bat in her mouth. Yuck. Anna and Nick listen to the nastiest things that have landed in peoples mouths before.  Tom Henske, Financial Advisor, Educator, and Founder of Total Cents, joins Anna and Nick today to discuss "Sudden Wealth Syndrome". Listen to his whole TedX talk on the syndrome at https://www.tomhenske.com/.  Jason's been taking their sons to the movies regularly since there's been so many great ones out this summer and every time they go to the dollar store, buy tons of candy, and sneak it in. Mom thinks it's setting a bad example of breaking rules. It's against the theatre rules, and it's shorting the business. If they want to keep the place in business, pay for overpriced candy. Do you agree? 

Novak Djokovic fell ill during his first US open match of the year. First time he has ever gotten out first round! When was a time you were sick or injured but showed up anyways? Anna did it once and ended up getting everyone sick!  Raven witnessed a shoplifter steal expensive perfumes the other day. Multiple. He was torn whether he should say something or mind his business. What would you do in this situation? Anna got calls and texts after they saw her nightstand with her alarm clock that is older than her senior in college. If it still works, why not? What's the most outdated thing in your house that you refuse to get rid of?  Its the FINALE of Ravens weight loss journey. Today, he gets weighed and we find out if he lost 12 pounds, enough to take 2 of Annas PTO days!  Anna uses her sports bras to hold her phone when she doesn't have pockets. Because, of course, a lot of woman's clothes don't have reliable pockets. Also, sea pass cards are most commonly bra-stuffed.  The Lindsay Clancy trials are still in progress because they simply can not come to a unanimous decision. Anna questions how no one is persuasive and swaying one way or the other? Isn't that the point! Britney and Bill's seven-year-old son keeps stepping on bugs, especially ants and any type of spider, and killing them. It's almost like he enjoys torturing them. Mom is concerned and thinks he should see a therapist to understand why he gets satisfaction by doing this. Dad thinks she's overreacting, he's a kid and it's a normal boy kid thing to do. He'll grow out of it and not become a serial killer. What do you think? Jen has a chance to win $2,900! All he has to do is answer more pop culture questions than Raven in Can't Beat Raven!   

Raven just found out a new fun fact about his Daughter-in-law. She leaves reviews under a fake email. Not only that, but the name she uses may be familiar... School districts are now adopting a 4 day week. Now, 3 day weekends are the norm in a lot of places. Are 4 days weeks beneficial or an excuse? Anna asks her kids what they'd do. Anna experienced a birthday party vomiter the other day, on a trampoline! Also, they tried to hide it from their parents and clean it themselves to keep bouncing. Where is the absolute worst place for your kid to get sick?  The items on your night stand mean more than you may think! Anna digs into the items on Raven, Producer Justin and Producer Sophias nightstand. What does yours say about you?  What do women really want from men?  Anna and Sophia have a bone to pick with the way men approach women these days. Chivalry is dead!  Deanna and Phil are having a disagreement about whether their children should be allowed to play with their cousins. The problem is not the children, it's that Phil hates his sister and doesn't want anything to do with her. Deanna thinks it's unfair that his feelings towards his sister are causing their children not to have a relationship with their cousins. They live in the same town and there's always family get togethers that they avoid because of it. What would you do? Nicholas has a chance to win $2,800!

There really is something for everyone!  Dr. Shosh joins Anna and Raven to discuss how to keep your romantic relationship alive after having a baby. She brings three of the most important rules to the table! Is Anna Zap out of line? She hates her birthday. The celebrations, the attention, not a fan of any of them. It's a let down! People get mad at her for this... Why!?  Aura Farming battles have officially begun. If you have no clue what that means, you are not alone. Celebrities who "aura farm" have rizz and do things to look cool, but naturally.  Anna says kids these days don't dance. She went to a Pitbull concert Friday and seems like the millennials dance, the gen z'ers don't move. We're you mad, sad, or glad this weekend? Bring back dancing.  Canadians are mad at Lake America. Olivia Rodrigo raised a large chunk of money at the Daisy Chain Fields, where there was also a beautiful Dolly Parton tribute.  Producer Sophia hit the town this weekend and got the truth from the bar goers! Another round of Happy Hour Happenings, on the house! Anna's daughter, Dakota, has an emeny. She sticks her tongue out at her, just like the old days. Is this over?

Raven has gained a few pounds back and only has two days left to redeem himself before his son's wedding this weekend. Will he do it?  Stephanie and Mark have been dating for two years, they're in their 20s. Her father was let go from his job about six months ago in an oil change center. He hasn't been able to find work. He texted him and asked if he could borrow $1000 to make ends meet. Stephanie is asking him to give it to him, he wouldn't ask if he didn't really need it and she doesn't have it to help him. Mark thinks it's weird to lend money to his girlfriend's dad and just wants to ignore that the whole thing happened. What do you think? Renee has a chance to win $2,700!
