Episode 279: Sad Cabbage Boy's Candy Contest

Outline
11:41 - My friends got married in Vegas a few months ago, and are having a party (because their families are forcing them to) to celebrate the nuptials. They insist on not getting them a gift, but all my other friends are getting them gifts anyway. Should I honor their request? Or should I just get them a gift so I don't look like a cheapskate? -- Giftless In The Great Lakes State

Recurring nightmare I am on a Nickelodeon game show?

I have a recurring nightmare I am on a children's game show like "You Can't do That on Television" or "Guts" or "Legends of the Hidden Temple". I always lose, and sometimes drown in the green slime (gak). I am not a child, but all of the other contestants are. I ahve been having these dreams almost five times a week for 3 months. I feel pretty happy in my life, so I'm not sure why I should be having these dreams!! They children are very mean and mocking, and usually cheat, or team up. Even with my adult strength and size they win. Looking for some interpretations, or advice on how to not have these dreams anymore (I'm sick of them)

22:43 - I'm a college student who is house-hunting for the first time in my life. Previously my parents chose which apartment I lived in, but now the reins are in the hands of my roommates and I. Unfortunately, finding a house or apartment that's close to campus and within our budget is a lot more difficult than we were expecting. Any tips for house hunting in a city with an extremely over-valued housing market? -- Almost Homeless In Austin
