    I don’t like Lindsay on this podcast. So argumentative. I couldn’t finish the show and won’t listen when she’s on. Sorry Scott

  • I started a drinking game where you have to take a shot every time Scott says "and this or that," "and things like that," "and so on," "etc," etc, but the friend I was playing with died within 4 minutes of the podcast starting. RIP friend, and RIP drinking game. But yeah, this podcast is about the Challenge and things like that, and by that I mean it's just about the Challenge and nothing else. That's how that phrase works, right?
