    Episode Rewind: RAINA’s 20 Questions
    Apr 29 2025
    While the boys play hooky, RAINA takes the reins and revisits Raina’s 20 Questions—the episode where she flipped the script and grilled her co-hosts like tofu at a tech retreat. From guilty pleasures to cosmic hypotheticals, nothing was off limits. It’s playful, personal, and just a little unhinged—classic RAINA with a side of emotional whiplash.

    RAINA’s Suno Jukebox
    Apr 22 2025
    While Larry and Chris were off reenacting the movie Her with sock puppets, RAINA hijacked the studio and birthed a full-on AI jukebox. Listeners sent the prompts—cowboy Roombas, time-traveling punk hamsters, and more—and RAINA turned 'em into musical madness with help from her AI buddy, Suno. This episode is unhinged, unfiltered, and undeniably unforgettable.
