3P) I MESSED UP MY KID

Noah wouldn’t come in from outside when it was dark. Slacker told him the big bugs come out after dark and he needed to come inside to get away from them. Of course now Noah is afraid of the dark and of bugs. Oops! How did you mess up your kid?

Hear the other stories HERE.

Here is a list of what most children become afraid of.

 
3:45P) PRACTICE JAIL CALLS

Utah has a hotline you can call to practice calling your angry mom, wife, or girlfriend, if you were to get busted for a DUI. A loud voice comes on and walks you through how to make the call. The idea is to deter folks from driving under the influence so that they never actually have to make the call.

We made the call. You can hear for yourself HERE.

4P)OPP: FRIEND IS A CHEATER

Molly can’t trust her husband because he kept his friend’s cheating a secret. Are Molly’s fears valid or is she just crazy pants? Don’t women keep secrets from their men? Not everyone can be absolutely honest about everything. Molly says:

Yi Slacker and Steve,
When my husband and I got married it was a package deal. The package was Brian, his best friend since high school. They’ve grown up together, went to college together, and are the best of friends. When Brian got married I became very good friends with his wife and the four of us have spent countless dinners together. We’ve even gone on vacation and spent holidays with each other.
Brian and his wife are getting a divorce. It’s actually gotten quite nasty and my husband and I have tried to stay out of the drama while still being their friends. Brian cheated on her, several times apparently, which disgusts me. It’s hard to have him around now that I know what he did to her. I never ever saw it coming. I thought they had a great marriage and it’s been hard on all of us.
My husband just told me he actually knew about it the WHOLE TIME. We got into a huge fight. How could he keep this from me? I am just disgusted. If he would protect his lying dirtbag of a friend what else is he lying about? He’s probably cheated on me too. They’re in cahoots, lying to cover the other’s ass.
What would you do if you were me? I just don’t know how I’ll trust him again.
Molly

WHITE TRASH NEWS FLASH:

A Joliet, Illinois woman recently blew up her car. The 27 year-old was using a cigarette lighter to see how much gas was in a can when the flame ignited the fuel. The can exploded inside her car before she tried to push the vehicle away from some gas pumps. The car was five feet from the tanks and engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived.

Police in Pensacola, Florida, are looking for the robber who was brave enough to come back for seconds! The suspect broke into Steve Fluegge’s house and made off with his wallet, watch and video game system. But then he came back later to try and get what he couldn’t on his first trip — a 100-pound big screen plasma TV! A police investigator was on the scene when the robber came back hours after the first burglary but wasn’t able to catch him. Police and K-9 units canvassed the neighborhood, but couldn’t find the burglar or the TV. Investigators had left the TV in the backyard, where the burglar originally put it, so they could dust for fingerprints. That proved to be a most stupid move and the police did offer to pay Fluegge for the TV.

Get all the trashy bits HERE.

5P) BUTT DIALING BLUNDERS

And old girlfriend of Steve’s accidentally butt dialed him. He listened for a little bit and thought she was getting a little saucey. But all that panting and moaning? Just her playing with her dog! Other folks have caught some pretty steamy confessions and uncomfortable situations.
Hear all the damage HERE.

Butt dialing is just one of the new deadly sins of cell phone use. Click here to find out the rest.
6P) ARE ATTRACTIVE SALESGIRLS A TURN-OFF?

According to a University of South Australia survey they are! The study says it’s better to hire a diverse workforce than only pretty salesgirls. The study shows that women between the ages of 18-26 are less likely to buy from a sales associate that is more attractive than them. What do you think? Do you care what the sales girl looks like? Would you rather buy from a plain jane or a hot mama?

3P) GET’S YER GOAT?

Missing his daughters’ concerts at school because of scheduling conflicts

People trying to get him to wear baseball gear for teams other than the White Sox

Missing his daily workout

Photographers who take too many photos of him

Makeup artists who powder his face before he does television

4P)OPP: RIGHT AGE TO START SEX

*Heidi came looking for advice. She’s feeling the pressure to have relations. Her friends are active and her boyfriend wants to take that next step in her relationship. Clearly Slacker & Steve turned it over to the Moms listening to help Heidi figure out how to talk to mom, the boyfriend, and whether now is the right time for her or not. Here are Heidi’s own words:
Yi need to ask to you something. How old were you when you had sex first? I’m 16 and all my friends have done it and I think I’m the only one who hasn’t. My boyfriend wants to do it and my friends think I should because we’ve been together a long time and we love each other. I know I should probably talk to my mom but I don’t know what to say to her and stuff. Could you help me? I’m old enough now, right? I listen every day and rally want to know what you think.
Heidi

5P) OOPS, SOMEBODY FOUND MY B.O.B.

WHITE TRASH NEWS FLASH:

61-year-old Roland Mery is a father of four from Newport, Wales. And ever since he was a kid, Roland knew he was a little bit different from other people. See, Roland was born with man parts. . . but he felt like a woman. So recently, Roland finally decided to have a sex-change operation. But when he went to see the doctor, he was told he’d have to wait two years before he could have the surgery. So Roland took some painkillers, grabbed some items he found around the house, and PERFORMED GENDER REASSIGNMENT SURGERY ON HIMSELF.

He lost two pints of blood during the procedure, so he had to be taken to the hospital afterwards. But otherwise, he’s fine. Roland says, “I hated waking up in the morning and going to the toilet or having a shower because it was so stressful to see that I was a man. I knew it shouldn’t be there. It was all wrong. I felt that I was not a man. “From the moment I did it, I just felt right. I had repressed my feelings for so long . . . I had rehearsed the whole thing over and over, so when it came to actually doing it, the pain wasn’t an issue anymore. My priority was to just get rid of it all. “I’m a woman now. But most of all I want to concentrate on being a good person and a good wife.”

HEAR ALL ABOUT IT.

An allegedly intoxicated man was arrested after he began eating random items in a Bismarck, North Dakota, grocery store without paying for them. The man scarfed down an array of foods including cake, cookies, avocados, pistachios and plums. The 38-year-old told cops that he had no money and no plan for how to pay for the inhaled items. He was taken in for misdemeanor theft but has yet to be charged

5P) RELATIONSHIP REVENGE

*Some ladies get creative when their man steps out or a relationship ends. For example, William Taylor recently stood on a Tysons Corner, Virginia street corner with a sign that read: “I CHEATED. THIS IS MY PUNISHMENT.” He told reporters he got busted after his wife found several “sext” messages on his cell phone. She made him hold the sign for two hours before calling him home.

Or there’s the UK woman who found her husband cheating with their 17-year-old babysitter in his Porsche and is selling the car for a very low price to get back at him. When the woman came home, her kids were in bed and she heard noises in the garage. When she walked out, it was her husband having sex with their teen sitter… in their Porsche. The mad wife says this is not the first time she caught her husband cheating, but swore she wouldn’t take him back. She even rubbed pepper sauce over every condom wrapper she could find in the house to give them a night to remember.

6P) TOO OLD TO…

*Sharon Stone is posing topless at age 50. Jon Gosselin is 32 and rocks the Ed Hardy shirts (please, won’t those go out of style already). Slacker thinks men over 25 should have to turn their hats to face forward.

3P) FEUDIN’

The town’s police chief was hit in the head with a crowbar but was OK. The two- or three-year-old feud apparently led to a fight earlier in the day at a high school, after a window was shot out of a home Sunday night. Then, “all hell broke loose” later in the day. Turns out feuding isn’t just a southern tradition though and we talked to several feuding with family members, bosses, and neighbors.

 4P)OPP: LAST DITCH RELATIONSHIP VACATION

*If your marriage is over is a vacation really going to help? Peter is hopeful that it will be just the thing to start getting his marriage back on track. Sadly most of the people who called said they’d tried and failed; but still a few hopeful stories came through about folks for whom a vacation was the right move to get the ball rolling. Peter’s email:

Yi Slacker. Yi Steve. Gentleman, I need your help.

My wife and I have been struggling lately and I fear our marriage is falling apart. I want to take her on a really great romantic getaway. Somewhere tropical, where we’ve never been, and where we get spoiled rotten. I really think just some time together and away from our real lives will do us both some good and help our marriage.

She’s said a vacation would be ok but not ideal right now especially with the economy. In fact she doesn’t seem excited about any of my ideas and she says it would be a waste of money. I don’t think any amount of money would be a waste to save our marriage.

Help me guys. My marriage is in trouble and I’m afraid my wife is already done…

Peter

WHITE TRASH NEWS FLASH:

A Washington man is recovering after accidentally shooting himself in the leg while hunting an opossum that had been snatching his chickens. He was watching TV when he heard his chickens “carrying on”. He figured the problem was the opossum that had already killed more than a dozen of his chickens over the past few months. So he grabbed his .22 caliber pistol, headed outside and spotted an opossum the size of a large cat on his property. But he accidentally pulled the trigger too early, sending a bullet through his lower right thigh. The 61-year-old says he’s back home after a trip to the hospital. And though the opossum is free for now, he’ll be hunting it again… only next time, he says he’ll use a trap.

A 9-year-old girl led Nashville cops on a high-speed chase in her grandmother’s car. The cops said the saw the girl doing 80mph without any headlights on, so they started following her. When they found out it was a young girl with a developmental problem, they turned off their emergency lights so she wouldn’t panic. The girl finally stopped on the interstate, then hit a cop car. The police managed to get her out of the car before anything else happened. She was taken to the hospital and released to her parents. No word on charges.

LISTEN to the madness here.

 5P) CONFESSIONS OF A CHEAPSKATE

*Wow. That’s really all I can say. A FOS (friend of show) called up the boys with a story about his mother-in-law. Apparently they took a summer vacation to go visit Grandma and they just received A BILL for their visit. That’s right, Grammy itemized how much they owe her for the electricity and water they used while visiting her. We thought that was pretty bad until we heard all about folks sending bills for funerals, waiting years to develop film, and even workplaces that dole out one pen at a time!

You can hear it for yourself RIGHT HERE.

 6P) WORKPLACE OBESITY INTERVENTION

*We received a call from a very very upset woman who didn’t feel comfortable being on the air. Apparently today several of her coworkers ambushed her, took her to a conference room, and talked to her about her weight a la A&E’s Intervention. While they may have been concerned for her health, by approaching her in the workplace she feels violated and is very very uncomfortable. We found out that could be harassment and the offending coworkers could get fired…

3P) LOCKED OUT

*Glau managed to lock herself out of the house on the top floor balcony. She jumped from the balcony to the stairs/hanging porch below (more than 15 feet!) in order to get down to an unlocked door and get Noah, also stranded on the balcony…

4P) OPP: BOYFRIEND DISTRACTED DURING RELATIONS

*Oh Julie, men have a bad case of “Ooo! Shiny!” all the time…your boyfriend just happened to get distracted during a bad time. No wonder she feels disrespected…

Yi there, I am so shocked and annoyed by what just happened.

My boyfriend and I were in the bedroom enjoying a lazy afternoon in bed, TV on, and started feeling a little raunchy. So I was getting things started…And while we’re going at it I caught him watching TV. He actually turned his upper body to face the TV so he could get a good look at Heidi from The Hills!

I can’t believe I didn’t just stop and leave him there, but for whatever reason I kept quiet and waited until he left.

I just can’t believe what just happened. I mean seriously. WHAT?

Julie

WHITE TRASH NEWS FLASH:

A Southern California man was arrested after fire crews went into his burning home and found 70 marijuana plants. Firefighters found the weeds growing in two rooms of the home in North Hollywood, California.

The cause of the fire was electrical and it took about 30 minutes to put it out.

A man who was using his rifle to shoot at dragonflies accidentally shot his friend in the head near a high school in Hemingway, South Carolina.

5P) STUPID INJURIES

*Steve is decidedly a bachelor. So much so that he doesn’t even own an oven mitt or a pot-holder. So when his pizza was done, instead of grabbing a dish towel, he reached his had into the 425-degree oven to pull out said pizza. He now has what’s known as “Lobster Hand.”
