So close we can only let our shoulder blades touch... Ha!
A huge brawl recently erupted following a concert in Milwaukee. Phil Vollrath says fan fights started in the arena parking lot and spilled out onto the street. "They got out of their cars and were shouting and waving their fists at each other, calling 911," said Vollrath. "One car came driving down the ramp at a good rate of speed with its horn blowing. One woman ended up in a car accident when, she says, someone tried to cut her off. Another person called police because people were pounding on her vehicle." The concert? It was a Celine Dion show. I wouldn't have thunk it.

The Show
"Love in the Morning with Bill and Sue" Weekdays 5am-9am
Hi! If you couldn't join us today Monday, October 6th. Here's a rundown of what we discussed: Cheating... But Feeling Badly About It?A new study by frequent "Oprah" guest marriage counselor M. GARY NEUMAN reveals that one in 2.7 men will cheat. Other findings: - 92% of men say they cheat because they feel underappreciated - 88% of the men surveyed said the other women were no better looking or in no better shape than their own wives - Only 7% of men who strayed told their wives without being asked. -55% of the men in Gary's study have either not told their wives or lied after being confronted with hard evidenence. And a new study by the Italian Migraine Society reveals that having an affair could be fatal. Neurologist Lorenzo Pinessi studied hundreds of men and says, “What we found is that it was mostly men who suffered from this phenomenon. It is all to do with stress and high blood pressure. It would appear that men have a more severe feeling of guilt when cheating, which leads to increased stress and tension. During tests, those with headaches from cheating were more likely to develop severe migraines, and a few went on to suffer a killer aneurysm."

London's Daily Mail found proof that there really is such a thing as too spicy. A 33-year-old guy died after taking part in a chili-eating contest last weekend. Andrew Lee was competing with his girlfriend's brother over who could create the hottest chili sauce. As the dares and ideas bounced back and forth, Andrew gobbled up a plate of home-grown red chillies. The rest of the night was normal, except that Andrew felt itchy. His girlfriend lovingly scratched his back, and he fell asleep. At some point between the hot eats and an itchy night's sleep, Andrew had a heart attack and never woke up. Ironically, he'd recently passed a physical at work with flying colors. Medical tests will soon reveal whether it really was the chilies that did him in. OMG!

In Case You Missed It: The Myers Report
O.J. SIMPSON was found guilty on Friday of bursting into a Vegas hotel and stealing sports memorabilia at gunpoint. He is being isolated from other prisoners for his own safety, and is focusing on a motion for new trial and an appeal to reverse his conviction for kidnapping and robbery. His attorney had this to say: "I don't like to use the word payback. I can tell you from the beginning my biggest concern ... was whether or not the jury would be able to separate their very strong feelings about Mr. Simpson and judge him fairly and honestly. Every cooperator, every person who had a gun, every person who had an ulterior motive, every person who signed a book deal, every person who got paid money, the police, the district attorney's office, is only interested in one thing: Mr. Simpson." He will continue to pursue a request for Simpson to be released on bond pending appeal. Meanwhile, Galanter said Simpson will be living a lonely life, advised by his lawyers to do no media interviews and allowed to see only family members and a few friends placed on a special list at the jail. He will be sentenced on December 5th. His lawyer said OJ was so sure he was going to be acquitted that he made plans for a Post-Aquittal Party. And do you think 13 is his unlucky number? He was charged for the armed robbery on the 13th of September, he was convicted ont the 13th anniversary of his LA murder acquittal, and a jury for this case deliberated for 13 hours after a 13-day trial.

Coach Resigns
Thursday 10-02-2008 7:22am ET
 A legendary mountain football coach is calling it quits but some say the school board didn't give him a choice. Swain County coach ROD WHITE announced plans to retire at the end of this season. His family says the decision wasn't his, but came about after he chose his son's wedding plans over a game. They say the school informed him he could either announce his retirement or they would buy out his contract. White's family says his son scheduled a rehearsal dinner on what was supposed to be an off-day, but then the High School Athletic Association rescheduled a game for that night. Coach White says he tried to get back to the game by half-time, but didn't make it. Now his family says the school board is acting on complaints from parents about White not being at the game. Parents who were upset White wasn't at the game declined to go on camera. Coach White says he was going to retire this year anyway, but hoped to hold the announcement until after football season. Even if this were an isolated incident it would be abhorrent, but I know of a woman who worked with my mother in retail who was threatened with termination if she went to her son's wedding during a big sale. Have these employers gone too far? Have you ever been threatened with termination for a completely rediculous reason? Email me at SueMyers@Clearchannel.com and we'll discuss!
Comfort Food
Tuesday 09-30-2008 8:46am ET
 Sales of comfort foods are on the rise because of the tanking economy. Worried Americans have been purchasing chocolate, wine, soft drinks, chips, sandwich meats, candy and cheese in record numbers since the middle of the summer. Dieticians expect a rise in obesity because of the trend and say it will end when the economy gets better. Well, the obesity will be not so fun to deal with, but look how much fun we'll have getting there! I mean, c'mon- a good roast beef sandwich followed by a root beer float? There are thousands of comfortable combinations I could come up with, trust me. What are your favorite comfort foods, and are you eating more of them? Email me at SueMyers@ClearChannel.com.
