• Foodie Call - Jones, a self described junk food connoisseur with an impressive knowledge of brands, products and flavors, discusses food news and trends.
• Quench or Parch - A subject is evaluated and decided if it is liked (a quench) or not liked (a parch). Jones and Moss reveal their opinion of the subject at the same time.
• Today's Win! - Listeners submit their stories of irony via Twitter. For example, "#todayswin, I found $5 on the ground walking back to my car, where I had also received a parking ticket."
• #Dear Jenna - Jones and Moss give their non-professional advice on a topic a listener has submitted via email or Twitter.
• Quick on your think! - Jones and Moss (who sometimes talk with a listener via Skype) name a subject and they have five seconds to name three types of the subject.
• Hopes & Dreams - Jones and Moss (or a listener) give a weekly aspiration and a long term goal that they want to achieve.
• Guests - From time to time Jones has family and friends on the show.
• Live Tweets - A movie, Twitter hashtag, date, and time are all chosen for a Live Tweet event where Jones, Moss, and listeners start to watch the movie at the same time and all tweet during the movie to a designated hashtag.
