FOUR TIMES YOU SHOULD
LISTEN TO YOUR FRIENDS
Friends don't always give good advice, so you shouldn't listen to EVERYTHING they say. But here are four times you should ALWAYS listen to your friends . . .
#1.) WHEN THEY DON'T LIKE THE PERSON YOU'RE DATING.
At the beginning of a relationship, when you're way too into the other person, you might not notice their flaws. But your friends will.
So if they say the person is totally wrong for you, listen to them. They're almost always right.
#2.) WHEN THEY SAY YOU'VE HAD TOO MUCH TO DRINK. If your friends tell you to switch to water, it means you're either embarrassing yourself, or you're embarrassing them. Probably both. If they say you're drunk, you are. Don't fight it.
#3.) WHEN THEY TELL YOU NOT TO DATE THEIR EX.
If you ask their permission and they say no, then keep it in your pants. Your friendship won't survive if you go behind their back.
If they say it's OKAY for you to date their ex, be careful. They probably don't mean it, and they'll end up resenting you.
#4.) WHEN THEY SAY YOU DON'T LOOK FAT.
Ladies, if you put on a pair of jeans and ask if they make you look fat, all you really want is an ego boost. So when your friend says "no," don't argue. It's annoying.
Marathon runners are typically considered to be among the healthiest and most physically fit athletes. But a new study from the Athens Medical School in Georgia has found that's NOT necessarily true.
In fact, training for marathons may actually be BAD for your heart.
A woman named Dr. Despina Kardara led the study. She says training for marathons puts too much stress on the heart, which can lead to increased blood pressure and hardening of the aorta.
Or, in Dr. Kardara's own words, quote, "Regular long-term endurance training is generally beneficial for heart health.
"But it seems that the cardiovascular system is like a sports car engine. If you do not use it, it will decay, but if you run it too fast for too long, you might burn it out."

'MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY WANT
THEIR LITTLE BOYS TO TURN OUT GAY'
A columnist/teacher and author (Brett Berk, author of "The Gay Uncle's Guide to Parenting") claims there's a new trend: Many people actually want their little boys to turn out gay.
Why?
Because these parents figure that if they're going to have a son, it might as well be one who's less aggressive, more fun-loving and dishy, doesn't hate to shop and is willing to help out around the house.
Therefore, the 'expert' recommends prenatal immersion in the Four Gs: "Glee," "Gaga" and "Gossip Girl."
But if your boychick is already on the outside, there's another tactic: Baby Legs.
He'll be rocking a look that can only be described as "Flashdance, Jr." -- in which he is quite literally "coming out of the closet."

JC AND TOM CRUISE
This comes from the June 21, 2002 edition of 'El Tiemp Latino' newspaper.
Mercedes might have a little issue going on… when she sat down this morning pills started popping out of her pocket! Hmm. There is actually no need for panic it was her antibiotics.
Today is Mercedes’10 year wedding anniversary. Happy anniversary! Just so Matt knows, the traditional 10 year anniversary gift is tin.
Mercedes compared Mark’s stray cat to a stripper. The cat keeps coming back and acting like it loves Mark, but the cat is just coming around for some more tuna steaks.
We had a list of “times you should listen to your friends.” Some things on the list are:
“When they say you've had too much to drink” and “when they tell you that your straight legged jeans look more like skinny jeans.” I never wore those pants again!
A lot of men have a hard time assembling stuff, myself included. Mark was having some issues hanging shelves in his daughter’s bedroom. He followed the instructions to a t, but in the end, he ended up super gluing the shelves to the wall.
We all revealed secrets this week… I moved, Blair is going back to school, and Mercedes is getting married again.
Mercedes’ wedding wasn’t really a secret…. only to those that have not seen her Facebook, Twitter, and Blog pages.
We learned that Alan Thicke is the master of TV theme songs.
Finally, my claim to fame is being in printed press with Tom Cruise, Mark can claim that his great uncle helped invent those plastic things that strawberries come in and listener Becky has the greatest claim of all… she kissed the bass player from the band Toto. WOW, Becky’s story actually inspired a recent movie, Disney’s The Princess and the Frog.

A THIRD OF PET OWNERS MISS THEIR DOG
MORE THAN THEIR PARTNER WHEN THEY'RE OUT OF TOWN
According to a new survey, ONE in THREE Americans admit they miss their pet more than their partner when they're out of town.
And TWO in THREE say that when they're traveling, they feel guiltier leaving their dog behind than they do their family and friends. But that's not all . . .
ONE in SEVEN pet owners say they've "shared a look" with their dog at least once. And more than that claim they can read their dog's facial expressions.
ONE in THREE dog owners say they've had an entire "conversation" with their pet. And even though not a single word was spoken, they both understood how the other was feeling.
Nearly TWO in THREE pet owners say their dog is more dependable than their closest friends.
70% would rather unwind by taking a walk with their dog than hanging out with friends.
Overall, NINE in TEN pet owners say their dog . . . not their family members . . . is happiest to see them after a hard day at work. And just as many say their dog is most likely to notice if they've had a tough day.
A prisoner in Davidson County, Tennessee had the ‘grill' ripped out of his mouth on his first day in jail.
He was being checked in at the jail when a guard asked him to take out his grill.
The guy told her it was permanently attached, but she didn't believe him. She reached into his mouth and ripped it out. It pulled the enamel off of four of his teeth.
Then... the jail didn't call a dentist for 10 days.
The dentist bill ended up being about $10K and the taxpayers may be on the hook over the guy's $95,000 lawsuit.
The guard was demoted and suspended for 5 days.

FACEBOOK SLIDES AHEAD OF
GOOGLE AS THE MOST-VISITED SITE
According to new data from Hitwise, Facebook managed to beat Google in terms of visits last week... that means Facebook was the most visited website in the U.S.
The share of visits to Facebook.com was up 185% last week compared to the same week in 2009.
Together Facebook.com and Google.com accounted for 14% of all US Internet visits last week.

SHOW NOTES FROM PRODUCER JC
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Mercedes and Blair are the only two on the show that wore green. Mark and I both forgot, actually we didn’t forget, it’s just that we are two grown men.
My dog saved the day last night by barking, and alerting us, to a deadly spider.
If a friend asks if you think her kids are spoiled … responding with “eh, a little bit,” might not be the best answer.
If your wife asks for your thoughts on her new makeup…. responding with “you should take that garbage off your face,” might not be the best answer.
We talked about Foot in Mouth moments.
When making amputee jokes you should probably make sure there are no amputee’s around before doing them… or maybe just steer clear of those jokes altogether.
We learned that Blair “fears for her life” when it comes to her relationship with Mark.
We had some big news this morning…. Mercedes is getting married again!.
Poor Blair, she could not give us her thoughts on Marriage because of a traffic report that was being aired over her voice.
Finally, Mercedes has been in a funk lately and asked for a sign to let her know that things will get better. She then saw a license plate that said 422-MMB. That is her birthday and initials, I think it would have been a better sign if it said 420 MMB.

THE FIVE RUDEST THINGS
YOU CAN DO TO SOMEONE ELSE'S FOOD
Yahoo's food section has a list of the ten rudest things people do when they eat. Some are standards, like double-dipping and chewing with your mouth open. But there are also a few things you probably wouldn't think of . . .
#1.) SPLITTING SOMETHING, THEN TAKING THE BIGGEST HALF.
If you're the one cutting the food in half, you don't get to choose which half is yours. You have to offer both halves to the other person and let THEM choose.
--If you made a fair cut down the middle, it shouldn't matter to you if they pick first.
#2.) ASKING FOR THE FIRST OR LAST BITE OF ANYTHING.
If you do, don't expect to get it. The first and last bites of a meal are the only ones that are sacred.
#3.) STEALING CHEESE OFF THE PIZZA.
When the cheese from another slice gets stuck to yours and leaves a naked dough triangle behind, it's your responsibility to put that cheese back. But cheese that oozes into the MIDDLE of the pizza is fair game.
#4.) SAMPLING CHOCOLATES IN THE BOX.
Every box of chocolates has a certain type with a certain filling you don't like. But if you bite into one by mistake, DON'T PUT IT BACK. Either choke it down, find someone else to eat it, or throw it away.
#5.) TAKING A CRUSTLESS BITE OUT OF SOMEONE ELSE'S SANDWICH.
If someone hands you half a sandwich, and they expect to get it BACK, don't bite the middle. First of all, there's something about it that's just nasty.
But also, it's everybody's favorite bite. The part with no crust. And if someone's nice enough to offer you a bite of their sandwich, don't help yourself to the best part.
SHE GREW HER OWN BREAST IMPLANTS...
FROM THE FAT ON HER TUMMY
There is a new procedure in England where women have fat removed from their stomach with liposuction, mixed with other body cells, and then reinjected into the breasts.
Surgeons have successfully carried out the procedure on ten women and ten more are due to go under the needle this month.
NOTE: Some docs are concerned about the long-term safety of the operation. They say, it may increase the risk of breast cancer and that the implanted tissue could harden, causing deformity and possibly masking tumors.
Last night Mercedes decided to skip over trashy TV like 20/20's 'Behind the Scenes Special on the Bachelor' and she ended up watching Show Girls.
There are two things in this world that Mercedes hates. 1) is when someone takes a crustless bite out of her sandwich, and two, SHE HATES PIGEONS.
Mark does not like to share his food.
They are coming out with “Grave Stone Recordings.” This allows the deceased to leave a recorded message for anyone who visits their grave. In Blair’s recording she will point out how young she was, and the fact that she was born after Bon Jovi had their first hit.
Guys whatever you do do not call a woman Mam, unless you want to get spanked.
We learned that there are all kinds of fetish websites. Including eating fetish sites and masquerade ball fetish sites. If only someone had a Red Bull drinking fetish... then I would be in business then!
Do pretty people have it easy? Yes they do!
Mark did not go to his senior prom because of an undisclosed incident that happened the night before.
Some things I learned about Mercedes from her 1992 Chatfield High School Yearbook are…. Sarah Puckett is a "B", Mercedes was known as the ‘Mertzmiester,’ Mercedes liked to get Slanted and she also liked to play strip blackjack.
Finally, long before the "The Situation" there was the “Total Package”! That was me back in High School. I was The Total Package, the Future of Bodybuilding, twisted, steal and sex appeal. How quickly things have changed.

This will be the first marriage for both Schwimmer and Buckman.
A new study finds that women on birth control may live longer.
Researchers looked at more than 46,000 women for nearly four decades from 1968. They compared the number of deaths in women on the pill to those who never took it.
They found that women on the pill lived longer.
They also found that the pill cut women's risk of dying from bowel cancer by 38% and from any other diseases by about 12%.
Women and men are wildly different. Ladies are soft, smell nice and are purty. Most dudes are lumpy/coarse, smell like motor oil and bear meat and are generally utilitarian in terms of looks. Because of your sensuality, delicateness and otherworldliness, there are a handful of sexy things you can totally get away with doing. But it is spectacularly weird and decidedly unsexy when we try the same moves.
1. Sniffing worn clothes.
2. Breathy talking.
3. Sexy gestures (in public).
4. Over-grooming .
5. Wearing each other's clothes.
A two-pound bag of marijuana " worth about $8,000" twas found at Boulder, Colorado charity, tucked in a clothing donation bin outside a Barnes and Noble.
Officers were called to the book store by the volunteers, who said they were going through the bin and found a large bag of "green leafy substance," which they thought might be marijuana.
Boulder police will probably destroy the weed.
There was nothing in or on the bag indicating where it came from, so it was logged into the property and evidence room at the police department, where it probably will be destroyed.
Task force members will most likely hear from any person who lost the marijuana, if he or she had a legal right to own.
“But two pounds is a lot of marijuana, even for medical marijuana. And they would have to be able to prove it's theirs.”

68 YEAR OLD IN JAIL FOR PUNCHING KIDS....
AT A WAL-MART
A 68-year-old grandfather was arrested after he punched children at a Wal-Mart in Columbus, Ohio.
A 6-year-old boy complained to his mother that the man had punched the back of his head. The woman followed the man out of the store, grabbed his arm, led him back inside and told security.
Surveillance video showed not only the assault on that boy, but other attacks on his 7-year-old brother and two other children.
The man told police he would put his keys between his fingers and hit the children when their parents weren't looking. He said he'd been doing it since January because he liked the excitement of getting away with it.
(The man had been married for 42 years before his wife divorced him three years ago. She left her husband because he was manic-depressive and wouldn't take his medication.)
It's officially March Madness, and fans are working on their NCAA brackers.... so here is your workplace reminder.
57 percent of HR professionals say their employees take part in tournament pools.
Problem: March Madness hinders your work ethic.
It's estimated American businesses lose billions of dollars in worker productivity during the tournament.... due to increased web surfing, game watching, absences, water cooler talk, and other NCAA pool-related gossip over the next couple of weeks.
To curb loss of productivity, a recent survey by the Society for Human Resource Management shows 23 percent of businesses have a policy addressing gambling in the workplace.

AUTHOR PRETENDED TO BE A 10-YEAR-OLD...
PUNK'D FAMOUS PEOPLE
Over the last few years 10 year old boy named "Little Billy" wrote letters to some of the most famous and notorious people. But it was all a big setup!
Little Billy was actually a man named Bill Geerhart. He was punking all those people by writing letters to them asking questions out of the mouth of a child. Now the man has put all the letters in a book called "Little Billy's Letters."
He collected the letters over 15 years starting in the mid 90s while he was killing time as an unemployed writer in Los Angeles.
Secretaries Of State James Baker and Henry Kissinger wrote him back telling him how to settle a treehouse issue with his sister. O.J. Simpson's lawyer Robert Shapiro told him how to get off the hook for destroying a doll.
When Billy wrote Hustler publisher Larry Flynt and asked whether there was a version for kids, he told him to read the Sears catalog instead. He also wrote to notorious criminals and asked whether he should stay in school. Son of Sam told him not to waste his life and the Unabomber wished him luck.
In 2008, Sarah Palin's dad, Chuck Heath took his letter and told Billy he wouldn't take him hunting wolves by air.
In another letter, Billy was putting together a campaign for third-grade class president and got good-luck wishes from former President Gerald Ford and former Vice President Dan Quayle.
The guy is now working as a record producer in Los Angeles and is curator of a Cold War pop culture Web site.

SHOW NOTES FROM PRODUCER JC
Mark’s daughter turns 7 on Monday and he is having her party this weekend. It was very nice that he invited me but I learned a few years ago you really should not attend a kid’s party unless you have a kid.
Thank you to our guest Jessica Simpson who cleared up some dating rumors:
We debated whether or not a woman should coach HS Football.
I learned that in High School women’s volleyball is just as intense of a program as men’s football.
This is a quick message to management… the reason I was Googling “how big are Anorie Collins breast?” was for a show topic.
We talked about writing letters to celebrities. Mercedes wrote to Bridget Michelle from the show ‘Rags to Riches’ (and Bridget wrote back). Mercedes also wrote to ‘Growing Pains’ actor Kirk Cameron. Kirk did not write back but oddly enough he now delivers the mail to Mercedes’ house every day.
One listener wrote to Conan O’Brien and asked him how he can be funny…. Conan wrote back years letter telling the kid to “write jokes.”
Mercedes admitted that she has a non SEXUAL CRUSH on her doctor.
Mark had a man crush on John Elway. Actually he did not have a crush, he admired John Elway. Men don’t crush on other men.
No the PBR is not in town… that's just Blair’s Allergies acting up.
Finally, I have a few more guest to thank: Charles Barkly, Bill Cosby, Chris rock and Morgan Freeman.
