00:45 - Intro - The McElroy brothers celebrate their birthday.
02:12 - Email - I have a cat who is generally a bit stand-offish. She doesn't snuggle, doesn't much like being picked up. The only time she wants to get on my lap is when I'm in the bathroom, tending to secondary biological output. I have always enjoyed her company as an alternative to reading or staring blankly at a wall. My husband, however, thinks the whole thing is weird, and that I should leave the door shut, ignore her plaintive meows, and get on with my business myself. She seems so sad when I don't let her in though. Please give me some guidance here. -- Poop Lap
05:48 - Formspring - I work at the most monotonous job ever, and your podcast brightens my Mondays. I was wondering if you could recommend any other podcasts or activities to make my workdays more exciting.

How do I tell my mom dad friends etc. that I am a furry?
I havce a huge problem. I am 13 and furry. My girlfriend is. Also, 13 and furry. But, I told my mom about it and she told me that furry fandom is one of the "most disgusting and horrific things she has ever heard." My dad's reaction was almost the same, but he took it better. Now, though, I don't know what to do. Please help.
17:43 - Email - Hey Three Amibros, I work in retail, and I'm next in line to be manager. My boss always complains about hating his job, but he just won't leave. How can I get him to quit? I want a promotion.[Note 1]
21:29 - Email - I'm a 28-year-old dude, and my boyfriend is 52. My friends are all cool with the gay thing, but how do I approach the age gap? He's a pretty cool guy, and not at all a granddad.[Note 2] -- Yes I Know It's Weird
26:44 - Email - I need help. My friend has a crush on me, and has asked me out on numerous dates. I keep politely saying I'm busy that weekend, or I have no money, hoping he'll take a hint, but he keeps persisting. Is there a way to let him know there's no way me and him could ever be together without ruining our friendship? -- Friend Troubles

Need help with my story title?
Hi, I'm writing a story about a young woman who has three children, and one day she gets into a horrible accident and the three children die. Her life changes forever from that moment on. She ends up falling in love with a man whose brother was driving the car that killed her kids. Do you have any ideas for a title? Thanks :)
34:15 - Email - I had college class that got out early. I ended up asking the girl I have a crush on and who I usually talk to during class out to grab something to eat. I don't consider it a date, but I wanted to get a sense of where I stand with this girl. Overwhelmingly, I kept her laughing and entertained, and she kept telling me how funny I was. I consider myself a handsome gent, and I have good manners, and there was never any breaks in conversation or awkward pauses. My question for you: Is keeping being the funny guy enough to give me a viable chance with this girl? -- Pagliacci the Sad Clown
40:24 - Email - I'm a professional songwriter. By "professional songwriter," I mean I play often-empty clubs with my band for free. I've been having a hard time writing songs lately. Can you give me ideas for things to write about? -- Musically Constipated

Should I tell my wife that I want to join a nude men's yoga group?
I have been interested in learning about the benefits of practicing nude yoga. I have been practicing it at home in the nude for a year now. On line I have read about nude yoga groups practicing in a heated room and I would like to do it. These groups are generally filled with men. I'm not sure if I should give my wife all the details of what I want to do. I'm not gay. But I like the idea of being nude with other men.
