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...

This week’s episode is cut into two parts. We first start with a live guest who joins us to show us how to property disinfect surfaces during coronavirus pandemic. Arman Semerjian is the co-founder of Sono Health Care. They manufacture the Sono Disinfecting Wipes that both Mike and I have been using to keep ourselves safe from germs and bacteria during Covid-19 outbreak. It’s important to watch and listen to see how we are all supposed to disinfect the dirtiest thing we use every day…our cellpho...

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...

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 ...

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...

On The Anna Report live we're talking about the concept of faking it until you make it -- the dating edition. Meaning, does this concept work in favor when you first meet someone?

What's the man code/girl code on dating your friend's ex? It’s a universal dilemma. Every guy wants to know what the black and white rule is on this topic. Is it true that once a woman has been claimed by one of your buddies there is no chance anyone can ever date her again down the line? Is there a certain time frame you have to wait until you or one of your friends can talk to her? Do you have to wait until your buddy has a new GF before you can date his ex? Have you ever been single and thoug...

The Anna Report is joining with The Armenian Report for a special holiday show. Inspired by one of our viewers, Greg, and cohost Mike -- we'll be tasting and talking all things Armenian holiday foods! If you've listened to a recent episode of The Anna Report, you know that we somehow always end up talking and laughing about food.

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 ...

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 ...

Now that we have our premiere show out the way -- go catch up if you haven't already -- we can finally dive into specific dating and relationship topics. This week, we're talking about the different ways men can approach women. A very common mistake men make is how they approach women depending on WHERE they first meet her. Fortunate to have Mike with us who will reaffirm or argue his male perspective on each specific approach that I bring to the table. _________________ FOLLOW THE ANNA REPORT O...

I’m so thrilled to have Mike with us every week during the live show because it will bring a balance to the dating and relationship dialogue. For years I’ve been doing this and deep down in my heart always knew that there was a missing piece – and that was the male perspective on the topics we discussed. This premiere episode is an introduction to the newly revamped The Anna Report live – plus a chance for us to...
