Tales of Gluttony is a new segment we’re doing, where one of us, probably Jason though, shares a story of a particularly shameful display of consumption. Today’s actually happened a few months ago, but now that the shame has dissipated, Jason decided to share. On the way to a poker game, Jason had an errand to run, so he planned out extra time to get it done before the game. He thought he needed an hour but he finished quickly. Since he had time to kill, he thought about going back home but instead he decide to indulge himself with some movie theater popcorn with that sweet sweet synthetic butter. Jason knew if he went to the movie theatre just for popcorn he would be judged, so he bought a ticket to see The Death Of Stalin and enjoyed his popcorn and a coke. When he finished, just 25 minutes into the movie, he got up and headed out to his poker game. We are not judging you for the popcorn Jason, just for spending $9 on a movie ticket just for a shame-free snack.

C OF THE WEEK

Every Friday Deb picks out someone or something to be her C of the Week. Sometimes it’s a jovial C and sometimes it’s a legitimate C. Today it was the people who spit their gum outside. Deb was walking home from her local convienence store and stepped in some gum some C had just thrown on the sidewalk. Deb hates people who litter, but the fact that this litter got stuck on the bottom of her nice shoes is why this person particularly deserved to be the C of the Week. Not only is it gross, but it’s also a pain to clean up. To top it off, the next day she saw a girl spit her gum out right in the parking lot at the gym. We were surprised people haven’t shied away from this old fashioned habit, and Jason wondered why people don’t just swallow their gum. Its 2018 just swallow your gum like adults. Luckily Deb is leaving for vacation to Singapore where if you litter or spit out your gum, you get caned.

I LOVE YOU CALL

Today we called Diablo Donuts in Baltimore, Maryland to see if they had any plain jam-filled donuts. Deb asked if they had enough donuts to order for the office, but since they were close to selling out Deb was okay with the flavors left. The donut shop had plenty of flavors such as chocolate cake, caramel, Girl Scout cookies and lemon meringue, but they were all out of love for Deb today.

WHOSE TWEET IS IT ANYWAY

Producer Nick reads a tweet from three celebrities and Jason, Deb and the listener try to guess whose account the tweet came from. Today’s theme was diminutive performers and were Pitbull, Bruno Mars and Kevin Hart. On the first round of the game, listener Heath and Deb were on the same page and knew Kevin Hart had to tweet “Nobody knows what you are capable of more than you. Compete against you and nobody else, dammit”. Jason guessed the tweet was from Bruno Mars. On the second round, Jason jumped ship with Deb and they both thought the tweet, “What we talking about today twitter? We being positive and uplifting or we being weird” was Pitbull, but Heath won that round by guessing that tweet came from Bruno Mars. Heath remained in the lead for the rest of the game. Jason and Deb tried to catch up for the next three rounds but Heath was unstoppable. Heath played a perfect game and took the win! Well done.

ARE YOU SMARTER

Every day we let a listener challenge Jason in a trivia topic of their choice to see if they can outsmart the self-proclaimed smartest person you know. Matt was today’s contestant and he chose the category sports that don’t use a ball. Matt and Jason both got all of the questions right. They knew that a hockey puck is made out of rubber, badminton is played with a shuttlecock, or a birdie, and in gymnastics you grab bars, beams and rings, but not balls. Matt took the win in the tiebreaker by guessing closest to the number of feathers a shuttlecock has, sixteen. Today, Matt was the smartest.

DOES DEB KNOW STUFF

Deb is going on vacation tomorrow, and in honor of her upcoming trip we did Singapore trivia. Listener Dale thought Deb would not know that only medicinal chewing gum was allowed in Singapore, and he was right. Gum is banned in Singapore without a doctor’s note! The listener switched sides and said Deb would know that the capital of Singapore, was Singapore and he was right. Dale got the first two questions correct, so he wins the front row tickets to Panic at the Disco!
