Happy St. Patricks Day.In celebration of the holiday, we themed our Lies, Darn Lies and Statistics game with Irish questions. Take a guess at how many Irish in Ireland actually celebrate St. Patricks Day. Also, guess the percentage of people who eat the marshmallows only out of the box of Lucky Charms cereal and click here to find out both answers.
To learn more about Ireland than you may already know, we brought in one of our staff members to give us little known Irish facts. What makes Edel an Irish authority? Shes an Ireland national. Listen to her accent and try not to laugh your shamrocks off.
Since luck is equated with the Irish, we thought wed find out about the times when you got lucky. We werent looking for those serious times when you met your soulmate or gave birth to your child. No, we were looking for unique and/or frivolous times when you got lucky. We had some great offerings.
Finally, we sent Intern Chupacabra out to make sure people were wearing green. We changed his name to Intern Chup O Cabra and gave him the go ahead to pinch people who werent sporting green. The thing is, we sent him out yesterday, when it was only St. Patricks Day in Australia. Everyone got pinched and you can hear their reactions now.

Do you know the average amount of minutes Americans spend in the shower each time they shower? Take a guess and then click here to find out if youre close or not.Erica ran across this article about how guys handle break ups. Heres what she read: Theres a reason why we all think men are immune to the post-relationship slumpthey are really, really good at hiding it.
What happens to a guy after a break up depends on who did the breaking up. If he did it, hes sad for one-billionth of a nanosecond before he starts daydreaming about the new chicks hes going to hook up with. If hes the one who got run over by the dump truck, however, his post-breakup behavior is far different. Yes, psycho guys do psycho things. But normal dudes saddened by the end of a relationship focus on fighting that soul-crushing feelingfiguratively and literally.
Fighting Back Tears Some men like to say they never cry. Well, heres the truth: We never let anyone see us crying. I was very in love with Jill (Ive changed names here to protect the guilty). How in love? Our song was Beyoncés Crazy in Love, because we were so crazy in love. (Shut up, it was adorable at the time.) After she broke up with me, I was explaining this to a friend at a bar when I had to grit my teeth and excuse myself. After I got home, I pulled the curtains shut and blared a heavy-metal album. Then I cried. It made me feel better, but only because I knew that my hot, manly, motor-oil tears were witnessed by no one.
Fighting Inanimate Objects Guys often try to work through the pain of a broken heart by replacing it with the much more easily endured pain of bloody knuckles. I once had a meathead roommate who, after being ditched by a Keira Knightley look-alike, continuallyand noisilywailed on a punching bag hed put up in our apartment. I have the soft hands of a writer, so I recovered from one particularly nasty breakup by living inside the game Grand Theft Auto IV for three weeks. I crashed cars and shot anyone who looked at me funny. Weird? Maybe. But it helped me vent chaotic emotions that I didnt know how to process any other way.
Fighting to Win Her Back When a guy realizes hes let something special slip through his fingersit generally happens the first Friday night he has no planshe tries to fix it. He fails to see, however, that relationships arent broken door hinges. When Nicole dumped me, I was initially proud that Id taken the news stoically, like a ninja. But then, after a couple of beers on my first lonely night, it dawned on me that I hadnt put up enough of a fight. After a few more beers, I drunk-dialed her. I begged, I rationalized, I promised to fix the things that were wrong with me and with useven though I couldnt really tell her what those things were. When it became clear she wasnt going to take me back, I told her I had one more question. Her response? No, she would not sleep with me one last time. I was far from over her, but her rejection finally got me thinking about the new chicks I was going to hook up with.
We wanted to know what rituals guys have to handle the break up and how it compares to ladies means of coping. Interesting stuff heard right here.

We broke a story yesterday that Hollywood is planning an update movie version of the classic TV show GILLIGANS ISLAND. We thought it an intriguing concept, especially the updated part of the idea. Kline peered into a crystal ball and gave us an audio sample of his vision/prognostication. Listen to it here.We had Jonas Brothers tickets for their upcoming Rodeo show.

When it comes to tipping, 20% isn't considered all that generous anymore. It's become standard. And it's for the most basic of reasons: It's simpler. It's easier to figure out 20% of a bill on the fly than it is 15%. You simply round up, move the decimal point one place and double the result. If your pre-tax bill is $34.85, for example, you round up to $35, move the decimal place one notch left to get $3.50 and double that to get the tip: $7. What do you usually tip? Have you ever eaten with someone who is a bad tipper? If so, what did you do? All of these questions are answered here.

She said that she didnt remember half of the things they were talking about and is sure that they fabricated some of the stories. Long story short, her fiancé ended up leaving the reunion and told her that he thought she was a different person and he didnt want anything to do with the person her friends were talking about...we turned this into a tell all phone topic about something you did in high school that you keep from your significant other. You wont believe Ericas story.

We had a listener dilemma to solve today. Erica received this message and we needed your help to tackle it: Dear Erica,
My boyfriend and I have been dating for two years and I really want to get married. Well, on Valentines day he gave me a little box, so right away I am thinking, Finally! A ring!. I open up the box and instead of an engagement ring, there is a key to his apartment. He wants me to move in with him. All of my friends are saying that I can kiss the engagement ring goodbye because why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free. What do you think? I love him a lot and really want to spend the rest of my life with him, but am I doing the right thing if I move in with him if my ultimate goal is to be his wife, not his girlfriend forever?
Thanks,
Vanessa

Kline revealed that he wont be watching the Super Bowl on Sunday because hell be traveling back to Houston from a two day wine tour in the Texas Hill Country. Timmy T and Erica couldnt believe that anyone would miss watching the Super Bowl, especially for such a foo-foo reason. We wanted to hear from you if you planned on missing the Super Bowl and we wanted to know why. Interesting calls to say the least.
As if Kline admitting that wasnt enough to derail the show, his two Hold Your Tongue offerings were sure to bring the show down. First he butchered a song from The Who and then he did something that should have never been done. Beware, if you listen to it here, you will never be the same again.

Erica went to have lunch with her son yesterday at school and while all he wanted to talk about was who farted in class and how funny it was, the little girls around wanted to all tell her about all the girls that like Ricky. He's only in third grade, so Ericas a little uncomfortable with it. Especially after she heard how aggressive the little girls are. The good thing is that he is oblivious to the whole thing and could care less....for now! But, still this freaked her out. Then a big group of fifth grade girls came over to the table and yelled, "Rickkkkky" and all gave Ricky a group hug. They didn't do that to anyone else sitting at the table. Now Ericas freaking out....this is her baby! Is she overreacting?

Erica was having a phone conversation and Kline was eavesdropping. He caught Erica in a bald faced lie. Heres the gist of the conversation with Erica and her friend. Games men and women play in order to get the guy / gal they are after... "playing hard to get" or wearing a wedding ring to pick up women or the kids... For instance, Erica's brother used to take her daughter to the mall with him to pick up on girls. Girls love a man with a baby...it worked every time. OR how Erica's husband acted like he didn't notice me or think I was pretty and that made me interested in him. We wanted to know the games you play.

We faced an e-mail bag dilemma. Heres the letter: Erica, I have a shoe obsession and my boyfriend says that he doesn't understand how I could waste so much time and energy on shoes. We have been dating for two years and he just doesn't get it. Its affecting our relationship cause he says that he won't propose to me until I stop buying shoes and pay off my credit cards. I don't say anything about his video game or food bills, so what gives him the right to limit what I buy with my own money? We aren't even married yet. Is this an excuse because he doesn't want to propose to me? What should I do?
Heidi Montag is getting even more backlash for her plastic surgery transformation, but this time it's hitting a little closer to home.
