Episode Date: September 11, 2026

Join Olivia Henson and Siobhan Weed as they rank their top 5s of random categories. This week, the girls are ranking the top 5 things they thought would be problems as kids that ended up being non-issues. They also talk about problems that flipped the script, surviving a pandemic, and bully earthquakes.

Welcome to objectively correct. Probably. Where are your host, Olivia Henson. And Chauvin Weed, and this is our silly show where we take five minutes to rank our top five of a random category. So join us as we share our hot takes on things that don't really matter because it's fun to have opinions. Let's list. Hey guys. What is up, guys?

Welcome back. Today's topic is top five things I thought would be a problem when I was a kid, but they aren't. They're the kind of things where, like, as you're falling asleep at night, your mom tucks you in, gives you a little forehead kiss. And then as you're going to bed, like, in the dark room, you're like, hold of you. Holy cow. These things are coming my way and I need to be prepared. So let's get right into it. At number five, we have quicksand.

Now, this is a classic. I feel like this is an experience everyone had. Personally, this was backed up for me in like the terror factor by that one scene from Princess Bride. But, you know, obviously that's not an issue. Although I really did think so because there's actual ways to avoid it and get out, which is they did teach us about. You know, at the same time as stop, drop, and roll for fires, which maybe could also go

on this list, maybe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're also telling you, hey, don't panic, don't kick. Float up on your back and then try to crawl over on your belly. And I'm like, I'm sorry, I need to know this. That's why I do know it. Up next is, up next at number four is Ebola. This is really specific maybe.

Yeah, this is very specific. But I just remember it was like an era of our life where like maybe we, I think we would have been in like middle school. Yeah, this is our generation. Yeah. And I just like remember there was this outbreak. I didn't even know what the illness was like, what the symptoms were. But I was like, I'm going to die.

And it's going to be from Ebola. get sick it's going to be Ebola 100% um i think every time i got a cold for the rest of the year i probably was like and this is how i go i really thought wherever it was located it was coming to get us um did not know it was the third world also didn't know what the third world was also plot twist it was never the problem covid ended up being the issue and you know loki way more serious of an issue may be more serious but it was still survivable because here we are yeah wow we love to tell the tale no abola and no no i got covid i also got covid but i survived but here we are so i still i still be here recording this show. Yep. Thank God. And thank God for that. And I'm sure the listeners are

saying the same thing. At number three, we have venomous snakes and spiders and frogs. Just all the like venomous things, animals. And you know what? Where are they? Because I've been really careful and I still haven't really encountered any. Like some out of the state maybe a few times. I've seen a Rattler in Texas. Yeah. But I haven't dealt with this. This has not been a major issue for me. Yeah. I met an animal like zoo owner guy. who came to our library one time in my town, and he tells a story about this time that his pet snake in college

bit him, and he was rushed to the ER. What? And he died twice. First time from the venom, second time from the anti-venom that they gave him that he was allergic to. Hello? And so, I was so convinced

that specific snake was going to end. I would strip my bed of my bed sheets every night to make sure it was not in my bed. Oh my gosh. I was really scared. That's horrible. Yeah. Died twice.

Who is like selling those? like for a domestic house pet. This guy just was really into like exotic animals. So he was collecting them. So that was kind of his problem. But I didn't realize that. Wow. Anyway, in number two,

getting proposed to you when you don't have an answer. Turns out it's way harder to get proposed to you than we originally thought. Yeah. Nowadays we would kill for a proposal. So hit us up, Bachelor. No, like truly. Yeah. I mean, we've,

we've carefully considered our answer. And guess what? We've actually figured out now. You would say yes. Yeah. Yeah. I'm no longer scared of somebody asking me and me being like, oh, no, what do I say?

Wait a minute. Hold on. Yeah, yeah. This is a realm I would love to face. I thought I was going to be, like, fighting off people who are trying to throw. With a stick. Yeah. We'd be like, my like four-year-old self was like, it's going to get, I'm going to get to a point. I'm going to turn 18. And then all of a sudden, like, I don't know, once a year I'll have to face this problem.

I thought I was going to be married up from Brave. People were going to be lining up to fight for my hand. And then I'd still say no, because I'm a feminist. I got it. Guess what? No. I'm not. I'd say yes.

Put me in the kitchen. Try to make me. Okay, and at number one, guys, we have earthquakes. Specifically, the Land Before Time style earthquakes. Now, if you guys don't know what we're talking about in the Land Before Time, I think it's like the first movie. There's this little Bronosaurus, and he's like standing there with his family and a crack forms on the earth that like exactly separates him from all of his family members.

And that crack just opens into a cavern that then creates like a whole new continent that he has to brave by himself, just him in like 700 T-Rexes. And it's horrific. Yeah, this really taught me that all of my loved ones, will always be on the other side of the split. Every single time. Now let's do a quick recap. At number five, we have quicksand.

Number four, Ebola. Number three, venomous stuff of all sorts, really. Number two, the real one that doesn't matter, getting proposed to when you're unprepared. Gosh, dang it. Darn it. And number one, the land before time style earthquakes. You know what, guys?

We may not be totally right, but we are objectively correct. Probably. On Radio Free Hillsdale, 101.7 FM. You guys. Bye.
