Episode 275: The Podcast Krampus

Outline
10:04 - Dear MBMBaM, I ordered pizza the other day with my friend. Since my friend was at the house, I did the courtesy of paying for the pizza. When we finished the delicious 'zza there were leftovers. My friend then proceeded to start packing up the leftovers in order to take them home, even though I paid for the pizza. Am I within my rights to keep the leftovers, or should I stop being so fussy? The pizza cost forty dollars including delivery, which is fairly expensive considering I work part time?

Hello, I am trying to get over my fear of doing a backflip but I cant. I saw over 100 videos on how to do a backflip. I can do a front flip pretty good but I cant backflip. I got the part where you fall on You're back and put you're legs over you're head, I do that good, I have done that allot of times.

I just don't have guts to do a backflip, I even had my mom as a spotter beside me (who I really trust) and I still cant do it, I jump, get ready, then I wont flip back. any help please?, Thanks.

38:53 - I recently referred my friend to work at the same company as me, and he got the job, which I just found out comes with a nice fifteen-hundred dollar bonus before taxes. He recently messaged me and thinks he should get a chunk of it. He is a single guy, I have a wife, two kids, and a mortgage to pay. I told him no, but in a nice way - after all, we are only a few weeks away from buying Candlenights presents and also diapers are expensive. Do I owe it to him to toss him a few bucks since I don't technically earn it, or is getting him the new job good enough? Am I good? -- All Mine In Atlanta

46:19 - Y - Sent in by "Yahoo Answers user" Rachel Spurling, from Yahoo Answers user Boomhauer, who asks: If I'm at an MLB game, could I help my home team get a home run this way?

Say that I am at an MLB baseball game, and a batter for my home team hits a ball and starts running bases.

So as the opposing outfielders are looking for the ball to drop so they can throw it home or to a baseman to try and get my batter out, what I do is throw another baseball on the field to distract them from the real ball that is actually in play.

So they all go after my baseball and then even if they get him out, the ruling is reversed when it turns out that they dd so with an entirely different baseball that wasn't the one in play.

So just helped my team get a home run through the classic Sun Tzu strategy of creating a diversion.

Lol could this work?
