Are Annie and Burl really married?
Yes! They are married (to each other), and Annie often reminds Burl of just how lucky he is!
I really didn’t like something I heard on the show. You guys suck. Where can I complain?
All hatemail and complaints should be sent to rockdog@annieburltalk.com.
Really.
Typically, how far into the show is it until Annie takes things into the toilet?
If/when it happens, it’s usually within the first 10 minutes. While she was never IN the Navy, she just swears like she was.

What is the “Conway Button?”
The “Conway Button” reference goes back to the interview with Mr. Tim Conway in April of 2008. During this hilarious conversation, (Tim is a genius), Annie made one of her famous remarks to which Tim asked if we had a shut-off button for her. All in good fun…but the “Conway Button” was born.
When they say that they’re drinking, are they REALLY drinking on-air?
Yes. Yes they are.
