Morning Mix Show Notes 8/8

Are your co-workers killing you? The last time we ever talk about Charlie Sheen and is this woman lucky or was she cheating the system? 

A new survey by Tel Aviv University in Israel says that you lazy co-workers are killing you. They followed 800 adults over a period of 20 years and found that people with good co-worker relationships generally lived longer than those with bad, lazy co-workers. The reason they say is because we spend so much time with the people at work and sometimes we spend more time with them than with our own family and friends that it's very important to have good working relationships.  I can say that we have a fantastic crew here at Mix 94.9 and that there is no weak link, so hopefully I live forever. What about you? Are your coworkers killing you?

The season premiere of Two and a Half Men is reportedly going to feature Charlie Harper's funeral. According to sources at TMZ, they have obtained a still shot of the crew including Alan, Jake and Rose plus some guest stars at what appears to be Charlie's funeral. There's no urn or casket, but there is a bowling shirt. Charlie is rumored to die in Paris in a subway accident. The still shot also apparently shows new character Ashton Kutcher at the funeral. What he's doing there, no one knows, but he's going to buy Charlie's house and feels bad for Alan and Jake and lets them stay there. Fifty bucks says this is the last season for the show. I hope not because it's super funny, but I don't think it's going to be the same without Charlie Sheen. Speaking of Charlie Sheen, he says that he will be watching the season premiere and adds, quote, "I will be watching my fake funeral, attended by my fake ex-girlfriends from my very, very real movie theater."  The premiere airs September 19.

In the last 28 years, Joan from Las Vegas has won just over $20 million dollars in scratch off lottery jackpots. She was heralded in the news as "the luckiest woman in the world" but authorities are singing a different tune. They believe she is a criminal who has cheated the system. A reporter from Harper's Weekly decided to investigate Joan because it just seemed impossible that one person could win all of that money fair and square. In fact, the odds of that happening? One in 18 septillion. That means it happens once every quadrillion years. The investigation turned up some very interesting twists. There is no real hard evidence to prove she cheated the system, but Joan has a PhD in statistics from Stanford, which means she has the smarts to figure out the patterns because the scratch offs aren't random. They're distributed around to make sure that the prizes are spread around, but she bought all of her winning tickets in her hometown of Bishop, Texas. Normally, store owners get a kick back when they sell a big winning lottery ticket, but no one knows who owns the store because it's closed. As of now, the Texas State Lottery Commission says they are not going to be investigating Joan because they believe no crime was committed and say she was just "born under a lucky star." Texas being The Lonestar State, whoever said that should go to jail for making a bad joke.
