Today, Shelly joined us live on the air to discuss her problem. Shelly and her husband has become that couple that hosts everything! It started to take its toll on her and she was hoping she could have one time where she wouldn't have to host anything but her husband went behind her back and invited a bunch of people over to their place for the Super Bowl on Sunday. She knows she's going to have to take the reins on everything, from the cleaning and the cooking, and he's going to have his feet up on the couch. She wants out of this party, so how does she do it?
Have you sent the video of the girl that can say any word backwards? Check out the video below! She was our inspiration for today's topic, telephone talent show!! Do you have a crazy talent?
I can clap with one hand. It looks really funny when I do it though, so I try not to show off that talent.
Back in 2007, a man named Ruben in Texas got a random email from a woman named Rachel in Thailand. Ruben figured out the typo sent her a message and she replied back telling him thank you. He replied again and this eventually led to a chain of emails back and forth. After eight months of emails, they decided to meet each other. She flew all the way to Texas and eight days later they knew it was meant to be and Ruben proposed. They are currently happily married.
What was the weird way you met your significant other?
A bus driver in New York recently went to JFK Fried Chicken in Brooklyn, ordered two chicken breasts and fries, when he felt a sharp pain in his throat and thought he was joking on a bone. When he left the restaurant he started coughing up blood and ended up at the hospital. Turns out he had a two inch coil wire lodged into his throat. A doctor was able to remove it and the man will be suing the fast food chicken restaurant.
Also, a ten year old boy in North Carolina was drinking a Capri Sun juice pack when he almost choked on a worm! When the mother called Kraft Foods, she learned he's not the only kid that's ever discovered a worm in his Capri Sun… Gross!
I've never found anything extreme in my food before, but every once in a while I get that long piece of hair. Of course I never notice it until it's halfway in my mouth and I'm slowly pulling it out. Oh, it's so gross!!
Yi! I'm wondering if some of your listeners who do on-line dating can give me some tips to avoiding the serial daters and freaks. I really am looking to meet a nice guy but, so far, I'm only meeting guys who want to get in my pants on a first date. The frustrating part is that, according to their on-line profile as well as conversations we'd had on the phone, they were looking for something real as well. What am I missing?

Steve thinks online dating is a joke. It's people lying trying to get into your pants and he even said most states are going to start doing background checks on all these sites. Slacker says that'll take the fun right out of it and half the people will stop altogether, but the people they are trying to get rid of are the people Karen is having a problem with.
Today Melissa and Adam joined us for a great mate debate. They have a thirteen year old daughter and over the last few months Adam has been getting the impression she has become depressed overall. They follow her posts online and the tones of them are all so sad. She doesn't seem happy and is concerned she may be suicidal. He hopes and prays she's not, but the thought has entered his mind. Melissa thinks she is a wonderful girl going to hormones and adolescent insecurities. It's like she's going through this emo stage, not like she's crying for help. She has a great group of friends, a strong support system and she trusts the relationship she has with her daughter and not the posts they see online.
Slacker brought up the idea of sharks and how when cases like that happen, the news goes crazy about them. They jump on it and more information becomes accessible to us, so he wonders if that's how Adam is looking at things; That because of all the suicides in the news lately, his daughter could be that way, but when it comes to hormones, he can't even imagine what it would be like for a woman, since what he went through as he said was like "wow!"
In a new study, men were asked what they would do if they could be a woman for one day…
A straight married guy said he would make out with his wife. A straight single guy said he would try to have an orgasm. A gay single guy would go after the mind to understand it, saying he often wonders what the difference is between straight women and gay men when it comes to how they think and feel about men in general.
Slacker would most likely end up taking pictures of himself making out with other chicks like the straight married guy or he would go to Park Avenue where there's a speed trap and see how it feels to cry and get out of a ticket. Other than that, he doesn't see a lot of things he envy's as being a woman.
I am interested to see what it would be like to be inside a guy's brain. I want to know why they think the way they do, so if I had to be a guy, I would try to do that and tackle the crap out of people.
If you could spend one day as the opposite sex, what would you do?
If you haven't heard the saying, finder's keepers, loser weepers… maybe you should consider it. One man in Florida obviously didn't get that memo because he discovered a briefcase full of cash and returned it to its rightful owner. The couple had left the case on top of their car as they left a restaurant and when the man noticed the case in the road, he opened it to search for clues to contact them and found papers inside with a telegram and a giant stack of hundreds adding up to $8,000. Since he felt like it was a moral obligation to return it, he was able to hunt down the couple and give it back.
Unlike this man, when I discovered a really expensive ring in a garage sale that stated everything FREE I grabbed it. I found it, I kept it, and I ran like the wind. I don't think I thought twice about telling the owner what they were handing away. It's their fault…
When have you found and kept something? Have you ever found and returned something?
Robert joined us live on the air to share with us the guilt he is carrying around. He travels for work all the time and just the other week he started having a few drinks with some co-workers, got drunk and ending up sleeping with one of the girls. He regrets is completely because he's married to an amazing woman, the perfect woman he says. He never would have slept with her if he was sober, it was just a night where he had too much; He's even given up drinking, although it's only been a few days. He knows he wants to tell her because it's the right thing to do, but he doesn't want her to leave him. So, how does he tell her and not lose her?
Slacker knows a lot of people that say if you cheat on me, if your toe even crosses that line, then it's over and they would never speak to you ever again. In this case, he loves his wife whole heartedly and he would never want to hurt her, but there's so much guilt, in order for him to relieve some of his pain, he needs to give some to her. That's why a lot people say don't tell because the only reason you are telling is to suede your guilt, but that's not fair to her, even thought it's not fair he did this to her either.
To me, honesty is the best policy, but yes unfortunately that would be the final straw for me. I've fought with this before and although its really difficult to move on once you've loved someone and they've cheated on you, it does get easier. I guess I have no advice for him, but to his wife. I can't say it's ok with what he did to her.
When you haven't found the "love of your life" you always reach that fateful moment when you know the relationship has hit its breaking point and it's come to an end. In Glamour magazine, they asked men, "What was the final straw in your last relationship?" One man answered, "When she insulted my mother. It was like asking to be dumped," and another answered, "She got drunk -- again -- and kicked her butt and legs in the air while we were driving home in a convertible. It occurred to me then that I'd never be able to take her home to meet my parents."
For me, the final straw in one relationship was when I learned he was having a kid with another woman. We weren't together at the time, but as he explained it, he just got bored and decided to make his way over to some random girl's house for a one night stand. I knew that wasn't someone I could be with for the rest of my life. There are plenty of days in the next 75 years where he may end up bored, so why would I take that risk?
What was the final straw in your relationship?

Remember when Rachel wrote that 18 page letter, front and back to Ross... If that wasn't a final straw, I don't know what was...
