Episode 419: Couples in Quarantine

While Mike and I are both single with no children, we can’t help to wonder how couples (especially those with children) are handling the new normal of staying home? How are they staying Covid-19 safe? How has the coronavirus effected their livelihood? We invited different couples with different backgrounds to join us live on The Anna Report – they share with us how they’re coping with quarantine life. One couple is married four years with a newborn (meet Missak and Rita Tokhmanian), another coup...

Episode 417: Social Media Etiquette

This week we had an important topic to go over -- the Do’s and Don’ts of social media from a male and a female. But we got sidetracked with pooping, peeing, and the word “sure”. I promise you though, we eventually get to the topic. You just have to brave through the poop and pee talk first (or you can fast forward if laughing is not your jam). We ask the following questions and get right into it… Is social media ruining modern day relationships? Can couples use social media to their benefit? Are...

Episode 416: Breakups, Divorce, and Starting All Over

Breakups. Two weeks in a row we’re coming atcha with loaded topics. But this week, I promise, it’s out of my hands. Here’s the thing, our goal is to slowly begin to include our viewers in our dialogue. As intended, a long-time viewer of The Anna Report made a comeback and agreed to come on the show with us to share his story. Too bad it’s not a happy or fun call but rather a call about a breakup. As a matter of fact, we have two callers this week and they’re both about breakups. If you’re going ...

Episode 415: Gender Roles

Gender roles. Loaded topic, I know. Today was Kobe and Gigi Bryant’s memorial. Originally, the topic for today was going to be “Should we stay friends with our exes?” But after watching the memorial, I postponed that topic for next Monday. I felt more passionate to talk about gender roles. I know Mike and I share a similar stance on gender roles but we’re also very aware that the rest of the world does not share the same opinions as us and that’s OK! As a matter of fact, we welcome the different...

Episode 407: Dating During Holidays

The topic on dating during the holidays was suggested by one of our regular listener, Ralph. We broke this topic into three parts, plus the bonus talk on gifting. First was if you've been dating this person between 3-6 months when the holidays come knocking. Then those people who just met right before the holidays. And finally, the people who meet during the holiday break. But the most heated debate hit when we got to talking about gift giving. I learned that receiving gifts from men during the ...

Episode 405: Dating App Safety Tips

Getting robbed during dates by people we meet from dating apps are becoming all too common. One google search on this and you'll be disappointed in humans (if you aren't already). I would think it's all too common to avoid this but I better not jinx myself. So instead, I recorded an episode based around this topic. I'll warn you though...some of this advice is going to sound like common sense to you but according to other humans, apparently it's not so common after-all! Mike was not here during ...
