Episode 456: Good Happy Taste!!!

Outline
0:45 – Intro. Griffin's birthday. He wants cakes and creams.

5:35 – I'll be attending a Billy Joel concert, which is also his 70th birthday celebration. Should I bring a gift? How do I get it to him? What do you buy for the Piano Man who has everything? – Unsure on the Upper West Side

11:03 – Y – Sent in by Jack, from Yahoo Answers user Bobby, who asks: If I am a 14-year-old and my family has a guinea pig is he my brother or son?

I understand that technically he is neither since I am not a guinea pig.

18:14 – I work in a "hip" office park, and we share a parking lot with another "hip" company (they have their own coffee shop). In that parking lot, we also share a basketball hoop. A few weeks ago, we got a company-wide message that we needed to "be respectful regarding the basketball hoop". Nothing further was said. Two weeks later, we get a second message that we were banned from using the hoop due to "an incident". No one in my office is talking about it and I am too scared to ask, for fear of discovering some dark secret, what the incident was and why we were banned. The most I got from someone was "ooh, someone was a bad boy!" How do I go about discovering the truth? – Detective Hoops in Hotlanta

45:22 – Y – Sent in by Graham Roebuck, from Yahoo Answers user Stone, who asks: "Spiders? In my house? How get rid of? Like Minecraft?"

49:20 – I hate my book club. I thought it'd be cool, but it sucks. I've been in it for six months, though, and it's a really small club, so I feel bad about bouncing, especially because they've talked about how grateful they are that I've joined. Any advice on the best way to leave without looking like a dick? What excuse can I give other than "I don't like your company or opinions"? We only meet every six to eight weeks, so "I'm really busy" seems unbelievable. – Looking to Leave in L.A.

54:16 – Housekeeping

57:27 – FY – Sent in by Mike, from Yahoo Answers user Eva, who asks: "How do people in pie factories know which box or wrapper to put on a pie if they can't see what's inside of it?"
