Episode 80: For and By Dummos

Outline
00:40 - Intro - The Christmas Creep is here.

02:55 - Hey, I'm a married 30-year-old dude with two young ones, self employed, good at completing projects on my own. I want to do a little self-improvement (eat better, spend less money on junk food, lose the gut, stop biting my nails, etc.) but I always fail to follow through on any self-improvements I want to make. Where do I get the willpower to follow through on making a better me. -- Willis In Watertown

08:38 - Hey, brothers, there's this girl I met in my college class. I really like her. She seemed really into me, and she asked for my number. We've been texting for about three weeks, and then I found out she has a boyfriend. She constantly goes on about how awesome and funny I am, and we've hung out a few times, as well as gone out to eat. She's even told me the last time we went out that her and her BF were having some fights and might break up. Is this the way boys and girls act as friends in real life, or is she lining me up for after? -- Love-Struck In The US

16:50 - Y - Sent in by Lisa Hollifield, from Yahoo! Answers user Matt L, who asks: "Cool band names for metal band? My band has been wanting to do a show for some time now but we have one small problem... We cant think of a good band name. we are a metal/death metal band and our songs our original. please help."

24:12 - Internet Celebrities - Tim & Simon (from Tim & Simon's Brain Spill) - We have a quandary for you guys. We are only 24 years of age. Lots of people confuse us for being much older, usually in our mid-thirties. We just both look a bit older than our years, so what we need is advice from you so people stop thinking we're older than twenty four. How can we make ourselves appear like 24-year-olds and not like middle-aged men?

35:16 - Y - Sent in by Michael Cornely, from Yahoo! Answers user Jamie, who asks: "My boyfriend is addicted to skyrim? ok so yesterday my bf got skyrim (a random game) and ever since hes been playing it so much. usually if he gets a game he would just play it for one or two hours then get bored of it but hes been playing this thing for at least nine hours straight now. the only things that he would get up from the computer is to go to the bathroom he wouldnt even bother to get food and i was scared that he would starve so i ordered him some pizza and he just ate it by the computer while playing. when i went to bed he was still playing. when i woke up he was still playing. usually he likes sex at least twice a day but he wont leave the computer even to have sex so since im always thinking of him i gave him a bj and the whole time he was still on the computer. im so worried about him what should i do?"

39:42 - Whenever I'm over at someone's house as a guest, I always get uncomfortable about asking to eat their food. Even when it's offered to me my instinctive reaction is to politely decline, unless everyone is sitting down for dinner. This does not happen for acquaintances as one might expect, but also when I'm at a good friend's house or even my girlfriend's place. I will end up going the whole day without eating sometimes because of this. What am I supposed to do? -- Hungry Man

45:00 - Hey, I'm a lady, and I'm crushing hard on a guy. We play on the same rec-league soccer team, so we see each other and have friendly chats once a week. Our team plays late on a weeknight, so there's no going out for drinks afterwards. He's single, straight, and totally dreamy. Can't a girl ask out a guy? I mean, it's 2011, right? -- Crushing In Canada

Trivia

 * Griffin apologizes for being so harsh on metal music in Episode 81: Pizza Roll Suicide. However, judging by the example bands he lists after the apology, it might not have been entirely sincere.
