Episode 266: Pizza Is Illegal in Tennessee

Outline
08:18 - I have a friend that has been recently driving me up the wall. He, for some unknown reason, has all of a sudden started using the word 'mate' when addressing someone when he speaks, as if he had come back from a life-changing year-long expedition in the wilds of Australia and has adopted the language. He clearly isn't Australian. He is clearly Canadian. If I have to hear him call me mate one more time, this friendship is going down under. Maybe it's from the group of guys he games with online. Maybe they're all Australian and he's trying to fit in. How can I make him realize the error of his ways, brothers? -- A Frustrated Frexican In Fuquai

35:19 - The brothers lose the rest of the episode, and re-record.

37:43 - One of my coworkers just transferred to a different office. The day after he left I found a note on my desk from him saying how he was always too tongue-tied around me to say anything, but he thinks that I'm beautiful and wished he could have gotten to know me better. I'm not interested in him romantically, but I do think he is a nice guy and I appreciate the guts it took to leave the note. I want to thank him for the compliment, but will it sound at all sincere when it's followed by "but I'm just not interested"? Would it be better if I said nothing at all? -- Secretly Admired In St. Louis
