Episode 454: Face 2 Face: April Foods' Day

Outline
00:45 – The boys went to the Winchester Mystery House. There were weird stairs and a servant's quarters/storage closet.

06:24 – Riddle Me Piss "Avoid me and you'll live. Look at me and you'll die. Who am I? The Bird Box monster"

09:49 – I was downtown a few weeks ago with my boyfriend. As I was walking, a tall man shoveled past us going the other direction. He bumped into me and mumbled, "give me all your money.", made quick eye contact, and kept going. He didn't even stop to take the money. Did I get mugged? – Slightly Shell Shocked in Santa Cruz

13:45 – Y – Sent in by Graham Roebuck, from Yahoo! Answers user Roy, who asks: My son has a microwave in his room?

My son is ten and I found a microwave in his room while cleaning. It has a $10 sticker from Salvation Army. It's one of those old dial microwaves with a bell in it. It is plugged in and just sitting on his desk. What would a ten-year-old have a microwave for? I don't want him to think I'm not respecting his privacy, so I just want to know if it's anything bad before I talk to him about it.

17:50 – For my job, I take care of four large robots - Tweety, Sylvester, Merlin, and Da Vinci. Most of the time they're good robots, but they also have a tendency to drop things, thus halting the day's work if no one is watching them. That means I end up sitting in front of them, just watching them go, in case something goes wrong, but this also means I'm sitting alone in a corner on my phone looking like I'm not working for most of the day. How do I convince my coworkers that robot babysitting is a valid part of my job and I'm not just wasting time? – Robot Wrangler in Richmond

22:57 – Y – Sent in by Ali, from Yahoo! Answers user NONAME, who asks: "People used to call me 'dude'. Now they call me 'sir'. Why?"

26:51 – My boyfriend and I recently moved into a new condo. We were very lucky because the previous owner replaced all of the appliances before selling, including adding a built-in wine cooler. But here's the problem: Neither of us likes wine. In fact, we both hate it. What should we use our wine cooler for since it won't be cooling wine any time soon? – Drawing a Sauvignon Blanc

Audience Questions
50:50 – How do I get over the guilt of having to put pins into a cartoon character's butt? I make character costumes for theme parts for a living, so when children pull on tails they don't pull the back off the character, I have to put velcro in their butthole, and I feel bad about putting pins in their butt. – Christian

54:37 – I work nights at a pizza place and we have arcade fun time stuff, and that includes a candy crane that is unreasonably difficult, and it's a play till you win sort of thing, try fail try fail. It keeps going and keeps playing this insanely loud obnoxious music. So a lot of times kids will load in several rounds of playing and fail too long, and then their pizza comes so they abandon ship and the music keeps going and going. It's a small building, and crew and people in the building just start to slowly lose their goddamn minds. So to kill the beast I'll take a moment to go over and try to win. It usually takes me a few bits but I do it. Anyway, so sometimes I win a lot of candy, which I kind of want. Super good. But then sometimes the families will be at a nearby table watching me do their work for them, and I usually instead of taking it out immediately leave it in the machine like I didn't want it, and then come back later for it. (Is this cool?) – Ella

1:00:15 – My dad offered me weed, and I am wondering if this is a trap. – Fawn

1:05:27 – ''I need to hide an elderly person for about an hour for work. Advice? – ''I work at a retirement community, and we have what is known as a code pink, which is fun, it's like hide and seek, and we do have to drill it sometimes, and I have been tasked next week with drilling a code pink, which is a missing elder. – Sam

1:11:09 – Housekeeping and also lighting problems

1:13:49 – FY – Sent in by Michelle [Smith], from Yahoo Answers user s02, who asks:"Why does Eminem hide his smile?"
