Podcast Vérité #2 - Competitive Etiquette

Summary: Welcome to Podcast Vérité. The concept is simple -- 3 topics, 20 minutes. Neal picks a topic, Nick picks a topic, and you pick a topic. 1. Is there house party etiquette? Neal attended a house roof party over the weekend and he wasn't sure when it was time to leave. That forced him to ponder the nature of house parties and the unofficial etiquette that governs them. Neal and Nick debate these oft-unspoken rules. Here's a real deal college house party that Neal and Nick attended in 2004. There was no etiquette to be found. 2. 3D movies. Fellow podcaster Heather Nunnelly (who has a kickass Kickstarter campaign going on right now!) suggested our listener topic. Neal and Nick weigh the pros and cons of 3D films. The list is pretty heavy on cons. Nick got a little too competitive during the relay race at his company picnic in 2009. Things have only gotten worse. 3. Why am I so competitive? Good news! Nick went cold turkey and successfully kicked his Bejeweled Blitz addiction. But his lust to compete is stronger than ever. Is this craving to crush others a healthy desire or a destructive impulse? We need your topic for our next episode! Leave your ideas in the comments below before July 7th and we'll discuss our favorite suggestion.
