The Lies We Tell for March Madness

Everything today is marketed as a convenience… so why does it feel harder than ever?

On this episode, we vent about the everyday “helpful” things that actually make life more annoying — self‑checkout, QR code menus, endless apps, password resets, and more. Froggy listeners sound off with the modern conveniences they’re officially over.

Consider this a group therapy session for anyone who’s tired of technology trying a little too hard.

It’s another round of Birthday, Birthday, Birthdays! on The Wake Up Call, and today’s episode celebrates two very different — but instantly recognizable — birthdays.

Tank brings the clues, starting tough and getting easier, while Scotch and Mandy try to connect the dots — and listeners are invited to play along at home or in the car. No spoilers here, just pop‑culture clues, laughs, and a couple of big birthday reveals on this March 19 edition of The Wake Up Call.
