A woman from Washington DC has been a National Trainer for years, and she applied for an opportunity with Weight Watchers. She thought the interview was going great until her own weight ended up disqualifying her for the job. According to the job announcement, she would have been responsible for the facilitation and presentation of required training programs for new and existing Weight Watchers employees. Some other buzz words in the job posting included upbeat, classroom skills, leader, positive role model, etc… What she didn’t notice was a bullet that read: “Maintenance of weight within two pounds of the Body Mass Index healthy weight goal range.” She lost 118 pounds, some with Weight Watchers and has kept it off for 5 years. She says she’s a healthy size 12, and would have been a great role model and spokeswoman for Weight Watchers. They disagreed.

Steve made a good point: Hospitals are starting to ban people that smoke because it gives the wrong impression, but what if the best doctor was a smoker?

Do you think they should be allowed to not hire her because of that? Do you think this could be discrimination?

Should she be reconsidered for this job?

According to a new study, Facebook feeds narcissism in young adults.

Young people with narcissistic personality traits were more self-promotional on Facebook. They had “About Me” sections that referred to their intelligence and photos that were more about showing off their bodies than about capturing memories with friends. The study shows that narcissists have more overall Facebook activity than average users. They also check their profiles more times each day than the average person.

Facebook has been awesome for our show. We can finish up topics and start topics on Facebook.

Do you believe this study to be true?

The lights are low… You’re getting ready for some “alone” time… and he’s hooking up his xbox to the TV???

Steve’s friend was out celebrating her 5th anniversary with her husband at this really nice hotel. She went into the bathroom to fit into something nice and when she came out of the bathroom, there he was… trying to hook up his xbox to the hotel room TV!!

What ruined the mood for you?

Yi!

Say your boss took you out to eat and at dessert, he ordered a cake and said he would split it with you… Would you consider that, him making a pass at you?

Slacker & Steve are on totally different sides of this argument. Steve 100% thinks the boss was making a pass at her, but Slacker does not think that. It’s just cake. There is two forks and she is getting to have dessert. It would be rude of him just to sit and eat it in front of her.

A Brooklyn, New York woman was arrested after she faked an injury that she claimed was caused by a falling light pole. 23-year-old Sherin Brown was caught on tape during the incident — when a wayward truck hit the light pole and knocked it over — and cops concluded that the pole missed her completely. Brown was charged with falsely reporting an emergency.

A man in Baltimore faked seizures to get out several restaurant tabs. He is now sentenced to 18 months in jail…

Even after these two people, Steve believes Slacker is the worst faker of all. In Vegas, Slacker tried to get into an exclusive night club while pretending to be Daughtry. They look alike, right?

What are you faking right now? What have you faked?

A serial “dine-and-dasher” has finally been caught, in Boulder, CO.

Restaurants warned each other about a guy who looked like an over-weight Joaquin Phoenix. He would come in, drink gin and tonics and go outside constantly to smoke cigarettes.

He’d eventually go out for a smoke and bail without paying.

A manager spotted the guy as he came in, and watched closely till he tried to leave. The manager called cops and they busted him.

The guy is being charged in three cases of dining and dashing.

A guy working at a gas station in the Village of Mexico, NY stopped an attempted robbery when he ordered the suspect to take his mask off.

A man walked into the store with a mask on and his hood up. He demanded a pack of smokes, but the clerk said he’d have to take off his mask first.

The world’s worst robber said no and flashed a gun.

The clerk (still) refused to hand over the smokes, and the robber walked out with nothing.

Cops eventually caught him.

Two teens in Brier, Washington put a cardboard cat in the road to distract drivers.

Cops were called after reports of a stubborn cat that refused to move for oncoming cars, causing drivers to swerve to avoid hitting the animal.

Turns out, two teenagers cut a piece of cardboard into the shape of a cat and placed it in the road. They stood by and watched as drivers swerved when the “animal” refused to budge.

They were questioned by police and were later released without being charged.
