BJ's wife has a work trip that she needed to pack for last night. She started packing at 8:30 which is right when BJ goes to sleep. Was she being inconsiderate? Last night was the Met Gala and we all learned that Rhianna is pregnant again!! Yesterday BJ was eating a burrito that had been in the refrigerator since Friday. Slacker from the afternoon show thought it was gross that BJ was eating something that had sat for so long. How old would you let your leftovers get before tossing them? A list of the worst grocery stores in America came out yesterday and Colorado had the second worst one on the list! Jamie says she has been trying to stay away from plastic and it has been literally impossible. A man was busted by a news reporter scamming people on the streets begging for money as a handicapped person. He isn't handicapped at all. Jamie found a health test where you close your eyes after standing on one leg. If you can't stand for even a few seconds it's not good! Jamie wanted to hang out with someone over the weekend, but was forced to cancel plans. Instead of responding to what she wrote back he said nothing! Is he into her or not?
