Post-Show Notes for Friday, Mar 9th

That wind was really something last night wasn’t it? I slept horrible, waking up every few hours because of the noise, then had a late start today waking up at 5:05am instead of 4:30am. But it was still a fun Friday.

We talked about Daylight Savings Time that’s coming up this weekend. Don’t forget to turn your clocks AHEAD one hour when you go to bed Saturday night. We lose an hour of sleep but it will be lighter later next week. Sunshine til at least 7pm. Be careful Monday though. Experts say there is a 17% increase in traffic accidents on the Monday after the time change. It’s also recommended that you change the batteries in your smoke detector on time change weekend.

Our movie critic Joanna Langfield checked in. I thought the premise of Eddie Murphy’s new movie “A Thousand Words” looked good….”Jack is given only a thousand words to say after stretching the truth with a spiritual guru.” Joanna said it doesn’t work. She’s also not impressed with “John Carter” that also opens this weekend. And “Silent House” is your typical horror film. If you’re into that it won’t disappoint.

Today’s trivia question was about “Happy Days.” What was the name of Richie’s girlfriend? I’ll have the answer at the bottom of the page. Neither Neal nor Jack came up with it. Listener Darrin did.

The Impossible Question was: “In a recent survey, most people think that Dad is a better choice than Mom when it comes to this.” I’ll have the answer at the bottom of the page. The first caller, Joe, came up with the answer.

We had some fun with a story out of England that said women will spend the equivalent of 26 years suffering from bad hair. The findings emerged in a poll of 2,000 women and shows most wake up with unruly hair at least three days a week. This means they spend 156 days a year with limp, greasy, uncontrollable or lifeless locks -- a grand total of 9,828 'bad hair days' based on the average woman's lifetime of 63 years. The survey also revealed 12 percent of women have cancelled a date because of their hair, while the same percentage has rearranged an outing with their friends. That got us wondering....if you cancel a date because of a bad hair day, what kind of excuse do you give the guy? I’m sure you don’t tell him you’re having a bad hair day. Is it the ole favorite, “Something suddenly came up?”

I got a great book in the mail today. The Boston Globe has put out a fantastic book about the 100th Anniversary of Fenway Park. We’ll have that on Mar 21. I have to guard the book from the guys. Monday we’ll be talking about the bubble wrap it came in. WHAT’S UP WITH THIS? It’s Bubble Wrap that you can’t pop! They’re taking away all our fun.

That USA TODAY list of the toughest things to do in sports:

Ok, here are your answers:

Richie Cunningham’s girl friend was Lori Beth and people think dad is better than mom at teaching the children how to drive.

Here’s hoping you have a great weekend! Monday we’ll have MOVIE MONDAY at 6:38am. I’ve already edited the movie trailer that I’ll play; if you found a cell phone, what would you do with it. Someone did an experiment leaving 50 cell phones in different places and we’ll tell you what people did at 7:10am. It’s also James Taylor’s birthday so we’ll play some of his hits.
