I interviewed Kid Rock on March 20 – here’s a photo of us in the greenroom (and, inexplicably, some clowns that were sitting in the greenroom when he was here.  I truly don’t know what they were doing here.  There was no segment that called for clowns.  Only in the Greenroom…)

Corbin’s in the Greenroom this morning to talk about the return of his show Psych on the USA Network. We also chatted about his latest directing endeavor. It’s a horror movie called “Dead Air.” It has brains blowing out. Need I say more? We’ve just talked him into staying for the AtSS.

And, because the Greenroom is always a crazy amalgam of people, Corbin’s on the couch at the moment next to Senator Arlen Specter. Senator Specter is here to talk about his battle with cancer which he details in his book “Never Give In.”

This morning we talked to author of The Blue Zone, Dan Buettner.  He spent seven years traveling the globe to those little pockets of people that live the longest on earth.  He learned that there are simple lifestyle changes you can make (for free) that will add 10 years to your life.  Here are the secrets he discovered to longevity:

–   eating a handful of nuts five times a week will add two years to your life (good cholesterol that fights the bad)

– have active friends, it’ll add 5 years to your life.  Obese friends add pounds to your waistline.

– give away your normal-sized dinner plates and replace them with 9″ ones.  You’ll eat less at every meal and live longer.

– Weigh yourself every day for two years.  You’ll loose 17 pounds.  (Really??)

– Go to church 4 times a month and add 4 years to your life.  (or at least give yourself a weekly break from work to focus on family, nature and your spirit and you’ll live longer.  Buettner studied 7th Day Adventists who have a longer lifespan than the rest of us.)

– Men who drink five or six glasses of water daily have a 60-70% less chance of having fatal heart attack. 

– Drink a glass of red wine everyday (ok, if I must!)

– Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper.  (It’s healthiest to eat a light dinner early so the body isn’t flooded with calories while it’s trying to restore itself during sleep)

So, should we all try this?  I volunteer to start with the wine.  You?

10 am update:  Here’s a photo of Danica enjoying her birthday in the greenroom!

8:45am update: Liz says thank you! She’s about to mention your comments on the air.

Lizzy Macdonald, of FOX Business Channel fame, asked me to pose this question to you: sex in politics, should it matter? Given what’s transpired in New York during the past two weeks with one governor being ousted after being caught in a prostitution scandal ONLY TO BE replaced by a lieutenant governor who (within 24 hours in office) admitted to extra-marital affairs. (And, btw, New York is not the only state with this burning issue…). Should sexual impropriety preclude a committed public servant from serving in office? *Liz is addressing this issue in 15 minutes on FBN and wanted to gather some comments from all of you for fodder on her show.

Here’s the backstory behind the hypnotist putting our producer Kelly into a trance and getting her to laugh at 6:30 this morning:  it was real.  Kelly says she was surprisingly at ease during the experiment.  And as Sebastian (the hypnotist) was talking about his pen, Kelly says she DID find it funny.  She thought his silver pen was truly silly.  She also found his voice soothing, she felt calm and at ease.   Before the segment on the air, they’d spent some time together during which Sebastian says he was conditioning Kelly.  She says she knew “he was working the voodoo” on her from the get-go because he was engaging in “deep eye contact and long hand holds.”  

All this was our experiment to see if the news story of the Hypnotic Robber in Italy who put a cashier into a trance and took all the money without her knowing was plausible.   Kelly now says yes.

What do you think?

Good morning.   Just checked the blog and I see this topic hasn’t simmered down over the weekend.   If you want to talk more about what went on here on Friday between Chris and the gang, feel free to post your thoughts here.  And if you want to hear more about what went on in the aftermath, check out today’s show.  But here’s your first behind-the-scenes tidbit:  yes, Brian was joking when he stormed off the set.
