| 0:01.0 | I'm curious what you guys are giving up for Lent. But the more unusual ones, like we're going to cover, I think, some of the basic ones in this room. What's more of the unusual stuff that if you told people you're giving it up, they're like, really? Seriously? This is a little strange. We can put you on the voice disguiser if you want. Jeff's wife has given up two major things in her life. She's giving up alcohol. |
| 0:24.2 | She's gone 40 days with no booze whatsoever, none. |
| 0:30.5 | And she's also giving up coffee drive-thrus, like going to the drive-thru at Starbucks. |
| 0:36.2 | Because she, I think she just thinks that she was going to Starbucks. We bought a really nice, we bought a really nice cool coffee maker for the house like a year ago, two years ago, with the intention of her not going to Starbucks anymore. Like she would use that and it was really expensive. It worked well, huh? Well, it did for a while. And then she just started to get back into the coffee thing, like in driving around, mindlessly drinking it and stuff. So she gave up going through the drive-thew. So if she's out, if she wants to walk to the Starbucks near our house, that's cool. Or if she wants to take her laptop and go sit there and be like one of those coffee house workers and stuff, that's cool. But as far as going through the drive-thru, not going to do it. Not a lot. Maria, good morning. You're on Q100. Hi, me and my boyfriend, we gave up sex. |
| 1:14.2 | Why? Just because we're, I don't know, we're not supposed to do it, so we just gave it up just to see if it works. Who says you're not supposed to do it? Well, we're both Catholic, so... The Bible. So God. Yeah, so we're both |
| 1:30.5 | Catholic, so we decided it'd be best that we gave it up, but it hasn't worked yet, so... We've given it up |
| 1:38.0 | every year, and it hasn't worked, so... How many days were you into your promise to God before you gave sex back on? |
| 1:46.3 | Last year, it went two weeks. |
| 1:49.8 | Okay. |
| 1:50.3 | How long has it gone this year? |
| 1:51.9 | This year, it's been the whole time. |
| 1:53.4 | So I think it's a week and a half. |
| 1:54.8 | Nice. |
| 1:55.2 | A week and a half. |
| 1:55.9 | Good. |
| 1:56.8 | Good. |
| 1:57.4 | Godspeed. |
| 1:59.9 | I love how you talk about this promise to God when you haven't even decided whether you're going to do this or not. |
| 2:04.7 | Or give up anything for Lynn even if it's already started. |
| 2:07.0 | Well, I don't really have deep religious roots or anything like that, but I'm giving up drinking for the next 30 days. |
| 2:13.3 | And it just happens to fall during Lent so I could call it that. |
