This week, the fellas tackle the #WouldYouRather social media trend. The conversation starts out easy enough with a few simple debates...the Mountains vs. the Beach or the Ocean vs the Pool. Things go off the rails quickly when they have to choose between life’s biggest headaches: Avoid Red Lights or Avoid Lines? Fight 1 horse sized duck or 100 duck sized horses? Join the crew as they break down the logic (and lack thereof) behind their picks. It’s a hilarious deep dive int...
