Jen’s back! And she’s got her own theory on this whole DiC thing.
We played a voice mail from Les.
Then, we played a sound clip of Jen comparing her new headset to her old one. (Hear the new set on the latest episode of Inside My Head.)
We covered a story about an expensive Canadian pizza.
More complaints about the neighbors.
Jen read comments from David and Colin, which lead to a discussion about Diablo III, piracy and paying for podcasts.
Our Internet connection is still slow but we’re not switching to another provider. Yet.
We read a story (and played some audio) about how Metallica is trying to help catch a murderer.
That was followed by a story about how a hitchhiking writer was shot in Montana. (He’s writing a book about “kindness in America.”)
Jen read some e-mails of questionable origin. (Hear Jen utter the phrase, “I’m always wanna have sex!”)
Then, we closed out the show with some audio of a Korean teacher who can’t quite pronounce the word “Coke.”

On the DiC topic, I agree completely with Shawn. I knew what it was all about, but I still heard exactly what was in that YouTube clip.
Now as for the neighbors, I suggest either adding a latch and a lock or boarding that section back up again. If the kids want their stuff, they can wait for you to throw it back or either they or their parents can come to the front door and ask nicely if you could throw it back over. I agree with Jen that it’s a liability issue. You don’t want to kids to “hurt” themselves while in your yard. Besides, who wants other people wandering into their yards whenever they feel like it? I sure don’t.
On the noise issue, if they’re making noise too late at night, call the cops. You’re living in your house. You have a right to enjoy it and nobody should be able to push you into moving. Moving is no fun, the market is garbage right now and you give up 6% of whatever the house is worth when you sell to boot. Unfortunately though, you’re out of luck on the smoke issue, unless your complex has rules regulating it.
I hope things get better on the neighbor front and you can both enjoy your place in SLO again.
I wonder if Shawno has read “Shit Siri Says” – maybe Shawno will talk to Siri during his next solo cast rather than Skype Lady (TM).
I don’t think that we had problems with me ordering Coke when I was in SLO with you guys but I know that I had problems in Portland OR ordering Coke.
Cami Kaos gave me the helpful suggestion that when I order a beverage in a US restaurant that I ask for Pepsi. If they have Pepsi, that’s full of win. If not, they’ll say “We only have Coke” and I’ll say “Yes, please.”
It would have not been a problem with you guys & other people who know me but if a super happy server guy speaks to me asking if I want a drink & the first words they hear from me in my Australian accent is “Coke please”, there might be some FAIL.
