Morning Mix Show Notes 8/17

Dead or Canadian, how to win at Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock and TV is killing you. 

Your Dead or Canadian subjects for today: Actor Bubba Smith, actress Caroline Rhea and actor Seth Rogan. (Scroll down for the correct answer.)

Rock, paper, scissors seems to be a completely random game, but one expert says it's not because humans aren't random people. There's apparently a pattern that our brains like to follow. For example: Most people throw rock first. Experts at the game know that so they throw paper first to always win the first round. People also never throw the same three things in a row, so if they've thrown rock twice, chances are that they won't throw it a third so if you throw scissors, you'll beat paper or settle for a tie so the next time you're playing Rock, Paper, Scissors with your kid for the last cookie, you'll have an advantage.

Your eight hour marathon of Keeping Up With The Kardashians could be killing you. A new study by the University of Quennsland in Australia says that every hour of TV you watch, it takes 22 minutes off your life, so when you settle in tonight to watch a three hour marathon of Criminal Minds on reruns, you will take one hour off of your life. Lifestyle choices didn't factor into the study, but they do add to keep in mind that if you have a more active lifestyle, you're going to in better shape than someone who smokes, drinks, eats poorly and doesn't exercise.
