This Or That | The Would You Rather Comedy Podcast

It’s time for our latest listener submitted would you rather episode, passed along by Nick from Washington! I know, I know, another episode where we discuss our digestive systems. This time it’s not our fault, blame Nick. This week we decide how much pain pleasure is worth when it comes to the taste of your food. Imagine a world where food is delicious. So, so delicious. Every bite is a little bit of culinary heaven. Unfortunately, every time you eat said delicious food you head straight to the land of gastrointestinal distress. Now imagine a world where everything you eat tastes like moldy spicy beef jerky, but your digestion works like a charm. Which would you choose? Along the way we discuss: Joshua’s attempt to imitate Man versus Food; the “Hot Beef Rejection”; Chris’s standards for food safety; and vacation adventures. Plus lots of other serious deliberations! Delicious food with intestinal punishment, or terrible food with no consequences; which would you choose? Listen to us at: Web: https://thi

Have you ever wanted to get intimate with a pine cone? Neither have we, but that's what we're discussing this week on This or That! We've got another listener submitted episode, and it's simple but a doozy: eat or poop out a pine cone. That's your choice. Learn how bad at calculating geometrical things the Crew is! Learn about other bizarre things that we've eaten that we shouldn't have! Listen to us talk about perforation in detail! Learn just how bad at estimating size Chris is!

Where ethics meets disgust is right where we like to be each week on This or That, your favorite source for #wouldyourather entertainment. This week is no disappointment as once again, poop seems to enter the conversation. No one on this podcast has ever eaten a human body. Maybe they're super tasty. But do we really want to find out? What would the alternative need to be to make this a viable option? How about swimming 2.4 miles (that's 4km for those of you not in the States) through human waste? That's right, laps in a pool filled with poop. The smell. The texture. the gooey mess all over you. Did we mention the smell? We address important questions such as: What is Joshua's primary concern when it comes to eating human bodies? Are Americans really as fat as the interwebs tells us? Just how slowly does Danielle swim, and will Chris ever let her tell him? What is the one thing that would make Danielle divorce Joshua? But most importantly... Would you rather eat a human body or swim through human waste? Whic

There are so many diseases in the world, many of them potentially fatal. Though life is surely difficult for those people, or maybe because of that, this week we take two of these awful afflictions and debate which is better! Autobrewery Syndrome: brewer's yeast in the intestinal tract that can turn consumed carbohydrates into ethanol. The result? Surprise drunkenness, and all of the disadvantages and benefits. Hemophilia: an impaired ability to clot blood. The result: potential death from internal bleeding. This week our discussions include: if Chris has any clue how the human body functions; how depressing Joshua's lunch is; and how little Danielle knows about certain medical conditions! Have Autobrewery Syndrome or be a Hemophiliac: which would you choose?

It’s time for another user-submitted episode of your favorite #wouldyourather podcast! This week Todd from Seattle has provided a question for the ages that we will tackle with the vim and vigor to which you are accustomed. Who doesn’t love a relaxing vacation on a cruise ship? The luxurious accommodations, the fine food and entertainment, the waves crashing as the crew watches for icebergs… It’s just a big boat, floating through the ocean. How hard could it really be to pilot the thing with zero experience? How about that blimp that cruises through the sky on Sundays selling tires? It just bobs along and doesn’t take too much effort to keep up in the sky, right? I mean, it seems pretty simple. It’s just a giant balloon! This week we learn: who thinks that they’re equally as skilled as an experienced cruise ship captain, if that captain was drunk! Who thinks they have the same capabilities as Indiana Jones! Who has the primary concern of being attacked by sharks when this thing inevitably crashes! Hint: It’

Love is on the menu as Joshua, Chris, and Danielle discuss their dream mates in this week’s episode. Imagine the hottest person you can think of, celebrity or otherwise. Imagine they’re your spouse. Pretty sweet, right? Hard to tell, they’re super dumb. Or, imagine that you are the hottest person you can think of (of course you’re already hot, but who wouldn’t want to be hotter?). The price of that hotness is that you are now super dumb. Which would make an easier life? Is it worth having a “super bangable” spouse if their terrible decisions put you in danger? Is life really easier for good looking people? Is it possible that one of these scenarios gives the best of both worlds? Which member of the Crew takes life advice from 30Rock? Who would make fun of their dumb spouse? Who is hottest 71 year old woman around? These questions answered and more on this week’s This or That!

In life, moderation is key. This week, we throw that out the window in an eerily realistic and very possible scenario. How much do you drink? Would you consider yourself an “alcoholic”? What does it mean to be an alcoholic, and what are some of the effects it would have on your health, your family and friends? How about work? Are you a smoker? How’s that working out for you? Is it easy and convenient to fit smoking into your life, or is it sometimes not so worth it? This week we treat serious addiction not so seriously as we try to determine which we would choose. How would Joshua fit smoking in with his rigorous training routine? Is Chris already drinking enough to be an alcoholic? Could Danielle get away with drinking all day at work? Get the answers to these questions and more on this week’s episode! Be a chain smoker or an alcoholic: which would you choose?

It’s a new week, and it’s time to explore some unpleasant choices that you may not want to have to make yourselves! You take out the trash a few times a week, right? Into the shed or the garage it goes until it gets picked up on Friday morning. Imagine a world where you can’t take the trash out at all; it stays in the house for three full months. That’s right, the trash can only go out four times a year. Now imagine that you can take out the trash as often as you like, but you’re not allowed to have anything edible in your home. No food, no drinks, and the water from the tap is undrinkable. This week we stroll down memory lane with Chris as he talks about some interesting trash storage strategies from college! We wonder why Danielle is so mean to JiJi the cat! And we find out what happens when we have to choose between convenience and cleanliness. No food in the house, or too much trash in the house; which would you choose? Listen to us at: Web: https://thisorthat.simplecast.fm iTunes: https://itunes.a

Pooping. We all do it, and here at the T or T Podcast we have a tendency to talk a little more about it than your average Joes. But how much do our friends really need to know about what’s going on with our bowels? Enough to send them a text every time we finish up in the bathroom? Or would they rather be able to see us getting hot, heavy, and nasty via our recently released sex tape? Which one is truly TMI? This week we learn which member of the crew has a secret language so they can talk about their BMs with co-workers! Which member wishes they could text Drake about their poop! And how many potential views your sex tape could get! Text your friends every time you poop, or release a sex tape; which would you choose?

It’s a new year and time for a new episode! Start the year off right with a new installment prepared just for you, and make a resolution to never miss an episode of This or That! Cheese. Creamy and delicious, from cheddar to pepper jack, who doesn’t hanker for a hunk of cheese? This week we take the test of your cheesy love next level by figuring out if you still love cheese when it oozes out of your sweat glands instead of actual sweat. What about skunks? They’re cute and furry but don’t smell too great. Would you want to smell the fragrance of skunk spray 24/7 instead? This week as always, we answer the important questions. What caused Danielle’s “skunk trauma”? What are the Cheesy Fevers and how are they different from Meat Sweats? How would sweating cheese affect Chris’s (likely non-existent) sex life? Let’s find out! Sweating cheese or smelling skunk: which would you choose? Listen to us at: Web: https://thisorthat.simplecast.fm iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/this-or-that/id1079258393

It’s a classic battle of good versus evil in this week’s episode! With illegal drugs being siphoned into the US at an alarming rate, someone needs to be the first line of defense on the front line, investigating the criminals that are sourcing and moving illegal product. But would it be more fun to be the problem, or the solution? This week we discuss the pros and cons of being a federal agent or the head of a drug cartel. What types of skills does it take to be successful in these careers? How many references to pop culture and Greek mythology can the Crew make? Finally, which side will Joshua, Chris and Danielle take in the war on drugs? Let’s find out!

You're pretty smart, right? I mean you must be, you're reading the synopsis for This Or That, arguably the best would you rather podcast available without a prescription. But what would you do if the intelligence of the world shifted to make you either the most or least intelligent person on Earth? This week we discuss a user submitted topic from Carson in Seattle! Imagine you're of average intelligence. Now imagine that, keeping your current intelligence level, the rest of the world shifts so that you're now the smartest or dumbest person alive. Could you handle life's biggest questions at your current intelligence, or would it be better to have everyone else be smarter than you? How is intelligence really measured? Why is Joshua so angry at Neil DeGrasse Tyson? How long would it take for Chris to understand quantum physics? And most importantly, what is the best fast food chicken sandwich? We'll answer these questions and more on this week's This Or That. Listen to us at: Web: https://thisorthat.simpleca

Sexy time. We want it, we need it, we gotta have it. This week the This or That Crew explores the world of sexual discomfort with two "hard" choices. Your boss. You see them every day. You may have a great working relationship, things might be tough, or you might be ambivalent. Regardless of your feelings for their supervisory command, imagine if every time you interacted with your boss you got super turned on. Like ready for loving turned on. Take me now turned on. The alternative is that you can only have sex with prostitutes. No sex with spouses, significant others, or strangers you meet in bars. Pay to play only. You're on the prowl and your new name is John. Both choices this week have some serious repercussions and potential consequences, and we'll use our signature critical thinking and open discussion to get through it! Get super turned on by your boss, or only have sex with prostitutes: which would you choose? Listen to us at: Web: https://thisorthat.simplecast.fm iTunes: https://itunes.apple.

“Got a tampon?” or “Got weed?” Here at This or That, we explore the tough questions. The real hard-hitting, relevant, and sometimes painful questions that you may have been afraid to ask. This week however, we explore the possibility of having to ask one of two questions every time you start a conversation with someone. This week we go slightly off the rails, but you benefit by getting to hear about some awkward interactions with Joshua’s urologist; the ups and downs of butt-chugging; and the quality people you meet working in the Wendy’s drive-thru. Ultimately we are able to come full circle to address the goal of this week’s episode! Always having to ask for a tampon, or always having to ask for marijuana; which would you choose?

Sunglasses and shoes. On the surface these seem like indispensable items that make the outside world a little less harmful. Who wants to be blinded by the sun, stumbling down a sidewalk covered with animal feces and shattered beer bottles, shoeless and without sunglasses? That’s right, no one. But there is such a phenomenon as too much of a good thing, which is what your trusty hosts of This or That will be discussing this week! Imagine a world where you always have to wear sunglasses. Not just outside when it’s sunny, but 24/7. Now imagine a world where you always have to wear shoes. Including in the shower and in your bed. Now listen to Chris, Joshua, and Danielle discuss the ups and downs of doing these very things! Hear a haunting rendition of everyone’s favorite Corey Hart single. Find out way more about Chris’s sex life than you ever wanted to. Hear about Joshua’s dislike for footwear, regardless of context. Always wear sunglasses or always wear shoes… which would you choose?

It's finally here! The holiday season. With it comes delicious turkey dinner, time with friends and loved ones, the sound of sleigh bells... And shopping. Lots and lots of shopping. And while some people love the crazy deals to be had on Black Friday, imagine a 10 hour shopping spree, driving from place to place, with a cranky four year old. The other option is to be held hostage for hours by an elderly relative, teaching then how to use a computer. They have a list of things they needed to get done, and you need to help them do it! Black Friday mayhem or Elderly Tech Support, which would you choose?

Technology. The same thing that makes you easy to reach at all times also leads to a massive inflow of contact from people you don’t necessarily want to hear from. But what if you had to choose between all or nothing? This week the Crew has a decision to make that affects both their personal and work lives. Which would you choose: have to respond to every email you receive or only be able to respond to 5 emails a day? Hear Joshua’s phone getting a virus in real time! Amazing emails from lonely ladies from overseas! Chris’s moral bankruptcy to try to get more cloud storage! Get all of this and more on this week’s episode of This or That.

Happy Halloween! It's the final week of our October Spooktacular, and this week we have our scariest episode yet! Being apolitical has never been our strongest suit here at the This Or That podcast, so why not talk about a few hypothetical situations in a way that only we can? Imagine a world where Trump is Commander in Chief. That would be nightmarish enough, but in these scenarios... It's even worse. Choice 1: You're his VP. Eight years with the Donald. Dealing with his insanity. Cleaning up his messes. Trying to keep him from blowing up the world. Choice 2: For as long as he's in office, you need to throw a cookout for the Westboro Baptist Church every Sunday. Passing your time with a group of people with deplorable views and even worse actions. Literally feeding the hate. It's a tough one this week on This Or That! Trump's VP or host of the Deplorables' BBQ... Which would you choose? Listen to us at: Web: https://thisorthat.simplecast.fm iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/this-or-that/id107

Halloweenabration continues with this week's episode! "Torture porn". A sub-genre of splatter film defined by its extreme violence, gore, sadism, nudity, torture, mutilation, and et cetera. Werewolves. Humans that shape shift into a wolf of varying reason and violence. This week we discuss the pluses and minuses of watching extreme violence via torture porn films or being a werewolf. Do violent movies really bother Danielle that much? Is Joshua looking for an excuse to watch all of the Saw films back to back? How will these things affect Chris's travel schedule? And how much of a difference would it make if the films you were viewing were real? All of these questions and more will be answered during this week's episode! Which would you choose during the full moon: an all night torture-porn binge or turning into a werewolf? Let's find out!
