In Mitt Romney’s speech at the RNC a few weeks ago, he said his father left a rose every morning for his mother on the nightstand.  Here’s a week long narrative arc designed to make the guys on your show more romantic.  They tell the audience they want to leave a love letter for their wife/girlfriend each morning before they leave for work.  Each day, listeners help them write a letter which is left the next morning before they leave for the station.  At the anointed time, you call the female to get her reaction and then write the next day’s note with listener’s help.  At the end of the week, the wife/girlfriend grades the week and determines if her guy has become more romantic.

With the explosion of Twitter and Facebook, it seems like all people want to do is talk about themselves.  This is a new feature called “I Wanna Talk About Me”.  Open the phones and tell listeners to call and talk about themselves.  If they keep you engaged for longer than ten seconds, hang with the call and give them something.  If they don’t, buzz them out and move on to the next call.

Seems like everywhere you go, women are reading “50 Shades of Grey”.  What might be funny is to approach anyone you see reading the book in the next couple of weeks and play really dumb by asking them what that book is all about.  Pretend like you don’t know.  String together the awkward answers women give you to see how they explain it.

With Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes now officially divorced (it was the fastest divorce ever), convince a couple to sign their divorce papers on your show live one morning.  You might need a judge, and the lawyers and couple will need to come to the station, but it’ll be a big experience listeners might talk about.

With the Olympics starting this week, come up with silly competitions and pit someone from every department in the building against each other in “The Office Olympics”.  There are five departments in your building:  sales, management, promotions, engineering, and support. Develop five quirky competitions where one member of each department competes for the gold each day to see which group of people in the building are Olympians!
