DISCLAIMER: The following recap should be used for entertainment purposes only. It is NOT an official transcript of the show, is NOT fact checked by the hosts and is NOT up for any literary awards. To hear Whatever, word-for-fabulous-word, TUNE IN TO THE SHOW!
Out of control
Alexis peed, used the toilet paper, stood up and then dripped pee down her leg. She was mortified and thought she lost control over her bladder. Then half the seat liner fell onto the floor and it was soaking wet. She didn’t know if it was toilet water or her urine but she thought it was probably her urine since it was pink and she had had beets for lunch. She cleaned up her mess and was just horrified about the whole ordeal.
MadMen
Last night Jennifer watched the season premiere of MadMen. She didn’t realize that time had elapsed until later in the show. There was this thing written about John Hamm saying that he was super sexy. Alexis said his character, Don Draper, was sexy but she didn’t particularly find him to be sexy in real life. Jennifer noted that they changed up Don Draper’s character this year. Case in point, there was a scene with a hooker in which he wanted the hooker to slap him in the face. Paulie had no time to watch the series but he happened to see the season finale last year and the season premiere this year and he hated that the show was now two years into the future. Alexis teased him for being an idiot for hating the show for that reason. Paulie got pissy. Paulie said this weekend he sat in the garage, grilled meat and drank all weekend. Alexis said he was not going to have enough money to rent an apartment if he was buying all of this meat – and at the Stop and Shop no less – yuck! Alexis said Bertha was lucky Paulie left her.
Sleeping together?
According to The New York Times, one in four American couples slept in separate beds. Jennifer asked listeners if they thought it was the sign of a problem in a relationship or just a sleeping preference if a couple was sleeping in separate beds. Alexis slept in the same bed with her ex-husband when she needed to. Her ideal world would involve having a separate apartment from her spouse. If that weren’t possible, she’d like to at least have her own bed and bathroom. She didn’t want her spouse watching her put on makeup or tweezing anything. Jennifer agreed with the personal bathroom thing but she liked sleeping with her husband in a king-sized bed. One caller traveled for business and she loved sleeping in a bed alone. Alexis’s parents slept in the same bed and her mother wouldn’t admit that her father snored loudly. According to some book, co-sleeping was better for your health. Alexis didn’t believe it and thought the conclusions were pathetic.
Ready, Set, Bag
Ready, Set, Bag was a movie was about the fastest, most efficient grocery baggers. Justine Jacob, the producer and director of the movie and John Sandell, the 2006 Minnesota state grocery bagging champion, called into the show. Jennifer would love a professional bagger to bag her. Wait, what? Alexis wondered if baggers got offended when people just watched them bag up their groceries. John said no. In fact, he got perturbed when people got in the way of his bagging. Alexis wanted to be a bagger for just one day. Justine said they could probably arrange it. Alexis didn’t think she’d be able to hide her displeasure regarding the gross things people were buying. The film was also a fundraiser for local food banks. Go to ReadySetBag.com for more information.
Sports equality
Quinnipiac University was ruled to have discriminated against female athletes by getting rid of the women’s volleyball team while concluding that cheerleading was a sport. Ron Kuby, a top civil rights attorney, called in to discuss the matter. Title 9 offered equal athletic opportunities for men and women and it said that any college that received Federal age had to treat male and female athletics equally.
Law and organs
Should an accused murderer be eligible for a liver transplant? A 42-year-old was charged with stabbing his wife and he just received a liver transplant. He was at the top of the list and his circumstance was dire (he ate rat poison). Doctors were not supposed to decide who got organs based on those they deemed morally deserving. Alexis said the law didn’t discriminate and you couldn’t just pick and choose. Paulie would love to see an organ go to someone more deserving but the law was the law. Alexis said doctors shouldn’t play God.
Cheating
There was a writer who called herself Emily Brown who was writing people’s college papers as a business. She was basically helping students cheat. She posted an ad on Craigslist saying she was providing Ivy League caliber work even though she didn’t go to an Ivy League school. The girls discussed whether it was more wrong for her to do this job or for someone to hire her to do this job.
Do not vote for my dad
This Oklahoma judicial candidate was upset because his daughter took out a newspaper ad urging voters NOT to vote for her dad. Alexis thought it was hysterical. She also had a website called donotvoteformydad.com.
Glamour article
The magazine had an article about the 36 things a girl had to do before she settled down. Some of the things included surfing, riding a bicycle, taking out the trash, setting a mouse trap, doing your taxes, finishing a half marathon etc. Jennifer didn’t think she was missing out on anything because she didn’t surf. Alexis didn’t understand why these things had to be done before you settled down. They were just life things. Jennifer thought the list should involve wacky sex things or something.
