Request Robby: Flying into Purgatory with wings of fire

Ben Esplin, 23, from St. George, asked me to find a restaurant with a menu item most people wouldn’t normally order unless they wanted to get sick.

Request Robby: Money must be funny

In the immortal words of Scrooge McDuck: “Heavenly heather! The genie in the magic lamp! The fortunes I could own!”  As a poor college student, money seems to be a constant concern.

Request Robby: Blindness not easy without support

I respect the blind a little more after Brittany Haun from Spanish Fork suggested through the Request Robby Facebook page that I live a whole day blindfolded.  I took this request as a 24-hour challenge to experience a day in the life of a blind person. I went to bed with the blindfold wrapped around […]

Request Robby: Hat, haggard clothes earn Robby $3

I’m offering a position that pays $3 an hour; the requirements are, but not subject to, wandering the streets aimlessly dressed in haggard clothes. Rodney Havens from St. George posted a request at Facebook.com/RequestRobby:  “Robby, I’m requesting you to try pretending that you’re homeless and see how much money you get. Then donate the money […]
