It’s another fun round of Birthday, Birthday, Birthdays! on The Wake Up Call as Scotch, Tank, and Mandy try to guess two major celebrity birthdays — one an Academy Award–winning actor from some of the biggest movies of the last decade, and the other a Netflix fan‑favorite from one of the world’s most‑streamed live‑action series.

Tank brings the four‑clue challenge for each mystery celeb — three tough hints and one final giveaway — while Scotch and Mandy scramble to figure out who’s celebrating today. And because this episode is totally spoiler‑free, you can play along while you listen.

Tank is back with another round of mind‑bending, metaphysical, philosophical, and totally unnecessary questions that somehow make perfect sense in the morning. 

It’s the segment where nothing is off‑limits — time, existence, déjà vu, alternate timelines, the universe being a simulation, why socks disappear, whether dogs think we’re smart, and all the bizarre little thoughts that pop into Tank’s head and refuse to leave.

These are the questions that make you tilt your head, squint into the middle distance, and quietly mutter:

“…hmmmm.”

Join Tank as he explores the mystical, the weird, the curious, and the “wait… actually that’s a good point” corner of his brain.

Today on the show, we ask a simple but very real question:

What’s the one thing you have trouble throwing away… even though you probably should?

We’re talking the universal “junk drawer” classics:
➡️ Old cell chargers for phones you haven’t owned since 2014
➡️ Random cords whose purpose is a complete mystery
➡️ Plastic food containers
➡️ Condiments older than your youngest kid
➡️ T‑shirts from events you don’t even remember
➡️ Takeout menus you still don’t need
➡️ Freebies, samples, hotel shampoos… you name it

Everyone has that one thing they just can’t toss — and today we dive into why we keep this stuff, what we’re embarrassed to admit, and whether anyone will ever throw away a charger voluntarily.

It’s funny, it’s relatable, and it’s going to make you rethink your whole junk drawer.

Mandy is flying solo with a brand‑new bit! She’s wandering the Froggy 99.9 building and taking the pulse of her coworkers with a simple question:

Do you have a no‑cuss rule in your house?

She asks about clean‑language house rules, family‑friendly substitutes, and what people say instead of the real thing. From “darn it” to “son of a biscuit,” Mandy gathers the funniest “I‑don’t‑want‑to‑swear” words that keep the peace at home and at work.

It’s quick, it’s chaotic, and it’s the purest Mandy energy possible.

Mandy reveals her completely irrational fear of automatic car washes — especially the moment you have to shift into neutral and pray you don’t touch the brake. Tank and Scotch break down what really happens if you hit the brakes at the wrong time, plus the Froggy fam chimes in with their own car‑wash horror stories. A very relatable episode for anyone who white‑knuckles their steering wheel in the “rainbow soap” stage.
