Telemarketers

We always seem to get bothered by telemarketers on a daily basis. My girlfriend never gets mad at anyone, but I couldn't believe it when she got mad at a telemarketer the other day. It got to the point where the person on the other line, calling from Boston said he was trying to help. Hopefully they got the hint. Erin said she gets annoyed when they call her cell phone so she ignores the call. Some listeners called in this morning to share some pretty funny stories on how they got rid of telemarketers. Below is a clip from Seinfeld where Jerry gets rid of a telemarketer. It's pretty funny so check it out!

What Are You Giving Up for Lent?

Today is Ash Wednesday which is the official start to Lent. We talked this morning about giving things up during lent. One listener called in to say she was giving up text messaging and shopping. Erin is giving up chocolate and soda. I'm not going to give anything up because why bother. Although Erin thinks I should give up Facebook but I couldn't do that! Do you have any traditions during Lent?

Fat Tuesday

Tomorrow is Fat Tuesday which means basically eating everything you can before you give something up on Ash Wednesday. With Fat Tuesday comes the tradition of the Paczki's that everyone wants to eat. Sean plans on having some tomorrow but I'm trying to avoid them. I used to eat them when I was younger but now I realize how bad they are for you! There are at least 420 calories in one, along with 25 or more grams of fat. I also found out that in order to burn one off, you have to run for 30-47 minutes or ride a bike for 40-60 minutes. That's too much work if you ask me. Are you going to celebrate Fat Tuesday?

American Idol

There's always a few people you can't stand on American Idol who for some reason make it through Hollywood for a chance to be in the top 12 finals. This year, Sean and I agree that the most annoying person is Tatiana Del Toro. We've posted a clip of her song from this past week, along with what the judges had to say. Can we say drama queen!

Grey's/Private Practice Conclusion

Tonight is the conclusion for the Grey's Anatomy/Private Practice crossover. The episodes have been really good. If you want to watch a preview for tonight, check out the clip below!

High School Girl Arrested For Texting

A 14 year old girl in Wisconsin wouldn't stop texting in her math class, so the cops came and arrested her for disorderly conduct! Her phone was taken away and she's been suspended from school for a week and is scheduled for a court appearance on April 20th. Do you think this was fair? We both agree that we don't think cell phones should be allowed at school, especially in class. Let us know what you think!

Resolutions

It's the middle of February so we want to know how your resolutions are coming along? Have you stuck to them? Has it been hard following through? Erin admitted it was hard to get back to the gym but she's back on track with going and also trying to eat healthy. I on the other hand, still need to work on my resolutions. Tomorrow is always a new day right! Let us know how you're doing!

Confessions of a Shopaholic

This weekend Confessions of a Shopaholic comes to theaters. I've read the book and it's really funny. I think it's definitely worth seeing. So if you're looking for something to do Valentine's Day weekend, this is the movie to go to! I've posted a clip from the movie so you can watch it. Have a great weekend!

30 Day Email Detox

We talked this morning about this lady that gave up checking her email for 30 days. She realized that she started becoming obsessed with emails and needed a break from it. Sean said he couldn't go 30 days without email. I think I could go 30 days without email. I mean we kept in contact with our friends and co-workers before email was invented. Some listeners called in this morning to tell us if they could give up email for a month. Could you do it?

Annoying Habits

We talked earlier about people having annoying habits. Sometimes it can be someone who will always call and bug you about nothing. Or it could be married friends telling you to online date! We also talked about when do you finally tell someone enough is enough? It's a tough call but sometimes you need to tell that person to back off. What habits are annoying for you? Some listeners called in so feel free to listen to what they had to say.

Superbowl Commercials

If you're like us, we only watch the Superbowl because of the commercials. Last night, a few of them stuck out and were pretty funny. Both of us agreed that our favorite commercial was the Doritos commercial with the crystal ball. We've posted the commercial below, so feel free and check it out. What was your favorite commercial? Let us know.
