Episode 276: Luda Tells It Best

Outline
09:48 - The other day I was picking up sliders from one of my favorite take-out places. The total was $7.99, which meant I got a penny back from paying eight dollars in cash for my meal. I stood there for a minute, not knowing if I should keep the penny or throw it in the tip jar on the counter. I felt like either action was cheap and chintzy, but is one better than the other? Brothers, help me - what would you do? -- A Penny Saved Or A Penny Spurned

23:46 - My husband and I are from different parts of the country (him: mid-west, me: south-east), and I find some of their food nasty. Some of my in-laws come to see us for a holiday meal, and I'm wondering - am I supposed to make some of their traditional stuff, even though it's gross, or since they're in my house is this a "you get what you get" situation? -- Steamed Versus Fried In Tennessee

38:29 - Y - Sent in by Zoe Kinsky, from Yahoo! Answers user Ranald, who asks: "How to convert sexual energy to sporting and atheletic prowess? Ive read that everyone is really just sexual energy. I have lots of it and a really high sex drive. And I want to convert the energy so I can use it in my non-sexual physical endeavours.

I do realise that when Im horny, I seem filled with a lot of raging energy but its not there when Im not.

How do I control and use my massive sexual energy so I can be a super-athelete"

45:08 - Some classmates of mine recently informed me I over-use the phrase "oh jeez" whenever I'm surprised by anything. This is really weird to me because I've heard them all say it before, until they let me know they're only saying it because they're making fun of me. Since then everyone I've asked confirmed it is something that only I say. Is "oh geez" an okay catchphrase to have, or should I try to replace it with something else? -- Need A New Catchphrase In New York
