Episode 116: Ritter Rider

Outline
05:19 - I recently defended my dissertation and as such can be called doctor. While I've been looking forward to this, I now find it a bit awkward. When is it appropriate to introduce myself with, or purposely use, my freshly minted title. -- Newly Doctoral In New Orleans

11:08 - Y - Sent in by Teja, from Yahoo Answers user Sammy, who asks: "Is it safe to use maple syrup as lube on my condom? Well I bought a bunch of condoms and it seems they aren't lubed at all. And really the only thing I can really find around the house that could make a good lube is this syrup, are there any harmful effects to this?"

20:04 - Hey, I'm currently shopping for a new car, and I'm hoping you can help me logic something out. I'm wondering if it's better to dress nicely (you know, tweed shirt and monocle) or dress like a hobo (preferably with bindle stick). Do you think it matters whether the dealer thinks I have money to burn or I'm counting my pennies. Thanks brothers! -- Ms. Peanut

23:59 - The brothers discuss "Fur Kids."

26:37 - Y - Sent in by Lisa Hollifield, from Yahoo Answers user Bryce, who asks: "I wanna start a gang, how is that done? The title pretty much says it all, now this isn't any 'gangsta with my pants around my knees' kind of gang, I want this to be like a 1940's gang. It needs to have more class than 'bustin' caps' if you catch my drift."

39:51 - A couple of weeks ago I started hanging out with a lady. She was really cool, and she seemed to like me as well. A few days later she sent me a message to let me know that she only wanted to be friends. I was a little sad, I got over it, until I learned why - she was dating a magician. An actual magician. A man whose job it is to perform magic tricks. I was passed over for a magician. How should I feel about this? Should I feel offender, or have I dodged a bullet? -- Beaten In Brisbane

45:08 - Hey MBMBaM, I want to ask my girlfriend to marry me. I know the how part, but I'm torn on the when. I had been planning on a day that's special to us, but I think she suspects that when I would ask her. So, my question is: do I go with the element of surprise, or something expected but meaningful? -- Suitor From The South

49:08 - Housekeeping

52:49 - FY - Sent in by Jeremy Walker, from Yahoo Answers user Swimmer899, who asks: "Why do I very often dream that I'm wearing diapers?"
