Activity request: What is the worst thing you would be willing to do that to? Activity premise: Okay, let's say you're in a weight loss challenge and you haven't eaten and you're just really hungry. Activity description: Well, we are going to get a chance to see what kind of a blood sucker he'd be. Because, yes, in this episode, we do get to see the station manager, Kenny, accused of having eaten a live pigeon. And so I thought it'd be fun if we kind of discuss what kind of an animal would we be willing to eat live? Like you'd have to kill yourself and eat it. But not. If you're desperate enough. So what is the worst thing? But not live. What is the worst thing you would be willing to do that to? Yeah, I don't understand the prompt, Curtis, even though I've been accused of no energy. If I'm hungry enough, I will eat anything. I'd eat another human. Like, what do you mean? Oh, so you have no limit. Like, you would go. No one has. If you are hungry enough, you will do whatever you got to do. Okay, let's say you're in a weight loss challenge and you haven't eaten and you're just really hungry. And you're just a little bit out of it because you're so hungry. I'm desperately hungry. I'm eating a human. What do you mean? Okay. Well, all right. We've got your answer. I think you might be a blood sucky demon. And I'm thrilled with the increase in your energy levels. I feel like you're outside of the mountain territory for me. Brad, what do you think? I just had an arm. I'm feeling a lot better. My answer is a little shocking. Maybe I've been watching a little bit too much TV. I'm a big fan of commercials. So maybe that's where I got this idea from. I did have to look it up to find out that this wasn't an actual bird because I really wasn't sure. But I'm going to go with an emu. And even more specific, I'm going to go with the limu emu. Oh, wait a minute. What? This is ridiculous. You have to be able to achieve the goal. An emu would wipe the floor with you. No, wouldn't it? No. Well, especially, first of all, you think Doug's letting you anywhere near the limu emu? Are you out of your mind? A hundred percent. I would befriend the limu emu and Doug, but obviously Doug wouldn't make it. And then I would eat the limu emu. You're killing Doug too? I don't have to kill Doug. The emu will take care of that. Why are you specifically going after the most charismatic emu in the history of emus? I don't know if it's the most charismatic. Okay. Name another one. But you can find out. Name a top three contender even. Oh, for emus? Yes. The emu from that Scrubs episode? Yeah, the emu from the Scrubs episode. No helping. Tina the emu, old neighbor of mine, and this emu. Oh my God. By the way, I can promise all the viewers, we're never going to go off and do a Scrubs rewatch podcast because it would require watching season nine. Kodis, I didn't realize we had to name specific people. So I guess since I named humans, I would eat Brad just to shut him up. Thanks, bud. I take that as a compliment. Sure. Well, I feel like I have to give an answer. I would say, I feel like this is a mistake. This is going to really cancel me quick. I feel like I would be very comfortable eating a beloved pet. So Eddie is who I would kill and eat. What the fuck? This episode took a weird turn. I love humans. That's fine. A beloved pet. Don't you dare. Your answer is psychotic. You went after a loved one. Like your own loved one. That's crazy as fuck. I didn't say my own beloved. I said a beloved pet. And then I named Eddie. So like literally a TV show. The dog that doesn't exist. Who cares? I thought you were saying your own beloved pet. That would be absolutely psychotic. No, Ryan just doesn't listen to things Curtis says. I was already freaking out when you said beloved pet. We better pivot into the episode. Yeah, let's do it. This has gotten great. Let's do it.
