Hi again! It's Erica. Hope you are all having a good day.

7pm: Brad and Chris start off the show on a happy note. Chris says that he has a story that proves two things: 1) Never say never 2) You can find humor in anything. The reason for this is that Farrah Fawcett has anal cancer. They are definitely going to hell for that one. I mean they probably were already anyway, but I would say this cements their fate. The worst part, Chris asks if the hair falls out down there from the chemo too. Brad wonders if you can get a transplant for that part.

Horrible person, Kevin from San Francisco calls to ask what color ribbon Hollywood will wear for this cause. I think we all know the answer to that question. Gross. Greg calls in to say that they are using pig parts as transplants for that, to which Brad responds, "Bacon tastes good." WOW. There are days where I am just so proud to work on this show.

Now it's time for Best, Worst, Scariest, Funniest.
Best: Brad's is that he saw whales jumping in the ocean. Chris' was the view on 1.
Worst and Scariest: Brad's is a picture of Barbra Streisand's breasts through a sheer shirt. Chris' is that he went 4, yes 4 days without brushing his teeth because he lost his toothbrush. Apparently the Walgreens had far too many toothbrushes to choose from.
Funniest: Brad got lost listening to their own show last night when we were playing the Josh Thompson replay. For Chris, it is Anthony Mesa, arrested for urinating into a Mountain Dew bottle, now has a shy bladder.

8pm: We start with a clip of Chad Vader Day Shift Manager from YouTube. This is a sketch showing the life of Darth Vader's pathetic younger brother, Chad, Day Shift Manager of a grocery store. Poor Chad, he has all the same powers, but just isn't good enough. I would definitely recommend checking these out. Hilarious.

From here, we go to things that ruin your day. When talking about this before the show, Chris tried to show us how Zen he is by saying he doesn't believe in this concept. Brad starts off with a filling falling out. Chris says this is not bad enough and continues to do so for most of Brad's list. Who is he, Tony Robbins?

My List:
- Finding out you have anal cancer
- Being stuck on a plane next to an obese person
- Wet Socks
- Disappointing your parents
- Breaking a nail (just kidding, I'm not that much of a girl)
- Being pitted against another screener at the station

So, I'm a little hurt. Jenilee, who fills in for me on my off days, came into the studio to do some other work. Upon seeing her, Chris and Brad decide to try and continue to pit us against one another. They want to see who is the better screener. Ouch. Where's the love?? :( Just remember guys, I know where you're parked.

9pm: Ok, so we went to smoke and made up.

They continue the things that will ruin your whole day. Brad has a pretty good list and I agree with most of it. I think Brad gets a little frustrated because Chris keeps playing devil's advocate. After a while, they just have to move on.

Chris runs down the two confessions he's made over the last two days: 1) that he has driven drunk about 9,000 times 2) that he didnt brush his teeth for 4 days. He wonders which is more shameful, and as much as I hate drunk driving, I might have to say it's the brushing the teeth.

Then he goes into another diatribe (yeah, I really like that word) about the complexity of buying a toothbrush. There are too many and they have too much going on. The topic from this, are choices ruining your life??

During a discussion about mattresses, I had to interrupt because on MSNBC, Keith Olbermann had "Oh No He Di'int" written on his screen. Who the hell knew Olbermann was trying to be down. Brad hates on me a bit for interrupting to mention that, but seriously, COME ON!!

The lines light up about the choices issue. My vote would be for cleaning products. The aisle is too overwhelming, and why do I need 18 scents of Glade?

Callers mention: Doritos, TV channels, digital cameras, in planning a funeral (morbid huh?), and get this... in picking your children. That last one was a little out of left field.

During this, Larry calls to tell Brad he needs to grow a pair for talking about his wife choosing napkins for their wedding. I think Brad is a little offended by Larry's attitude

The genome subject does pick up for some calls. As one would expect, people have extremely strong opinions on genetic engineering.

10pm: Coming back from a break, we start off with perfection as always. I let a pranker through twice, Dan forgets to turn off the ampersand, setting off the bumper. Then Chris wasn't paying attention and didn't realize when we came back from break and Brad wasn't even back in the room yet. Wow, we're doing awesome :)

Ok, so during this hour, I have faced a nemesis. The pranker gets through me three times. Chris and Brad don't blame me, but are impressed by his talent.

They issue a challenge to him to call in again and see if he can get through me. He calls at the last minute and I thought it was him. So, I told him we didn't have enough time. He admits his identity so I let him through. Then on the air, berates me in my ability to win the battle. Well, we will see little one, who will win tonight.
