Episode 166: Boys in the House

Outline
04:28 - Ever since I was little my parents have maintained a multi-pet household. Almost all of the animals have lived long, healthy lives. The only animals my parents are apparently aren't adept at caring for are parakeets, since these tend to pass away relatively early (within a few years, if that). The problem is my parents keep getting parakeets. Brothers, how do I politely inform my parents that they should stop trying to care for these tiny birds, and instead focus their attentions on animals they can actually care for? Is there a graceful way to go about doing this? Sincerely, Flummoxed In Philly

16:55 - My wife and I were listening to Islands in the Stream by country legends Kenny Rodgers and Dolly Parton. It is a fantastic song, but we're really bothered by the line, "I set out to get you with a fine-tooth comb." Help us think of some better lyrics that don't sound like someone has lice. -- Lyrically-Challenged Ladies Of DC

Last time I said I was just having a video game themed wedding, but me and my fiancee decided to go full out Metal Gear Solid because we both love it and it actually brought us closer together.

But here's the sitch, we need help with ideas and stuff.
