Get ready for a laughter-filled episode as Jess rants about her beloved makeup from Clinique, the infamous Chubby Stick. But here's the catch—the name itself is questionable, and the color she has is called "Chunkiest Chili." Grosssssss! Hold onto your seats because it gets even weirder! Mini versions of the Chubby Stick are adorably dubbed "Chubettes." What!? We can't help but wonder who came up with that! But let's not forget the fun part! Why are they body types??? And for an intense look, there's the Chubby Stick Intense with Curviest Caramel, Broadest Berry, Roomiest Rose.Meanwhile, listener Dana shares a rant from Krista, who sent screenshots of our opening song. Apparently, someone remarked, "That's a classy name for a hairy???" The drama unfolds!

Fair warning: Dana’s had 3 cups of coffee!
If you’re new here this is a show where we take on the things that drive our listeners insane and then celebrate the good news of the world.
This week, we received a Rant from a listener about the importance of recognition and praise in the workplace, and how pointing out the negative can really bring you down. We also have Jess Ranting about the absurdity of stirring a drink with your finger, while Allen tries to justify it with some questionable reasoning. Join us for some laughs and good vibes, and remember to send in your rants and raves to keep the conversation going.

***TRIGGER WARNING***
One of our Raves this week contains talk about domestic violence. Please listen with care if this is a trigger for you.
*****
Jess has a bone to pick with fashion designers who insist on putting buttons halfway up the arm on sleeves. The ladies talk about the fact that almost all plus size clothing seems to one option each season and it’s not the ones we want. Moving on to Dana's rant, she doesn’t even remember writing it in!!!! She's got a major beef with all these app updates that seem to come out of nowhere. Just when you get comfortable with the layout of your favorite app, bam! It changes on you without warning or instructions.

**TRIGGER WARNING FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE**
Jess Rave - National Hotline for Domestic Violence
Dana Rave - (from a listener)
Supportive Managers.
I know that I’m probably one of the few people that actually has a manager that I adore and appreciate. I’ve worked at this same company for almost 8 years. I’ve been through probably 8-12 different managers during my time through multiple departments. When I got into engineering, I had a manager that I was fine with but he never really understood my job because technically my job wasn’t well defined yet. About 6 months into my position I had to change managers again...
So big thanks to all the great, supportive, understanding managers out there. Keep communicating with your team and treat them like adults that you respect. Because you should anyway!

On this week's episode, we delve into some truly terrifying topics. First up, we discuss the horror that is Lava Lamp Finger Nails. Yes, you heard that right - nails that glow in the dark and look like they contain liquid. We shudder at the thought. And if that's not scary enough, we also tackle the trauma of the "Get In Shape Girl" exercise kit from our childhoods. From the weighted bracelets to the ribbon gymnastics, this kit had us questioning everything we knew about fitness and body image. Join us as we confront our fears and try to make sense of these bizarre products.

Jess Rave - Museum of Tolerance - Simon Weisenthal Center
https://www.museumoftolerance.com/
Simon Wiesenthal, a survivor of the Nazi death camps, dedicated his life to documenting the crimes of the Holocaust and to hunting down the perpetrators still at large. "When history looks back," Wiesenthal explained, "I want people to know the Nazis weren’t able to kill millions of people and get away with it." His work stands as a reminder and a warning for future generations.
Very few of the prisoners survived the westward trek through Plaszow, Gross-Rosen and Buchenwald, which ended at Mauthausen in upper Austria. Weighing less than 100 pounds and lying helplessly in a barracks where the stench was so strong that even hardboiled SS guards would not enter, Wiesenthal was barely alive when Mauthausen was liberated by the 11th Armored Division of the Third U.S. Army on May 5, 1945.
As soon as his health was sufficiently restored, Wiesenthal began gathering and preparing evidence on Nazi atrocities for the War Crimes Section of the United States Army. After the war, he also worked for the Army's Office of Strategic Services and Counter-Intelligence Corps and headed the Jewish Central Committee of the United States Zone of Austria, a relief and welfare organization. Late in 1945, he and his wife, each of whom had believed the other to be dead, were reunited, and in 1946, their daughter Pauline was born.
Take a breathtaking journey through dramatic events in 20th century history. Learn what leads people to hate, and how ordinary people have changed the world one extraordinary action at a time.
Today, the public has come to view the MOT not only as a symbol of society’s quest to live peacefully together, but also as an important resource on how to achieve that goal.

Get ready to join the ladies for this weeks Rants as they dive into the oh-so-relatable experience of dealing with rude customer service!! Jessica feels like a total creep while the salesperson glares at her every move. And just when you thought it couldn't get any better, she spills the beans on her awkward self-grooming moment outside of DryBar. Let's just say, if you've ever felt judged while plucking your eyebrows in public, you're not alone. Tune in to hear how Jess handled these cringe-worthy moments and the conversation turns to nose picking?

Ready for a little dose of reality? The Average American woman is a size 16. But, the average towel is sized to fit someone who is a size 6/8. What??? While we are ranting- what about websites not keeping their information up-to-date. It’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack when you’re looking for closures of restaurants, theaters, stores, piers, and other places of public access. Please and Thank You!

Dana Rave - Paws WIth A Cause
https://www.pawswithacause.org/
Paws with a Cause was founded in 1979 by Michael and Candye Sapp after Mike agreed to train a dog to alert a deaf couple of important sounds, such as their baby crying. Paws With A Cause has grown into a national organization which trains service dogs for people with physical disabilities, seizure response dogs for people who have epilepsy, hearing dogs for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, and service dogs for children with Autism.
Paws With A Cause depends on donations as they receive more than 2,000 assistance dog application requests annually and their clients do not pay for assistance dogs. It costs over $30,000 to breed or rescue, raise, train, place, and provide ongoing support for an assistance dog. It is not covered by insurance, and there is no government funding available to sponsor assistance dogs.
Paws With A Cause has a 4-star rating on Charity Navigator
Jess Rave - Westminster Free Cliniic

Westminster Free Clinic is 100% free. We serve as a safety-net for those with no other affordable options and fill gaps as needed.
As a community care center, our goal is to provide low-income people with early access to healthcare, and health supporting programs and services, in order to prevent more costly mental and physical health problems. To achieve this, we understand that the health environment must also change, so we partner with the community to inspire both individual and larger scale change.
The clinic is first come first serve, providing access to health care to over 100 patients on Wednesday nights starting at 5 pm in Thousand Oaks and Tuesday nights at 5 pm in Oxnard (starting in 2020). We do not take patients with Medi-Cal, medicare, or other insurance programs.
