Episode 99: The One About Harrison Butker

Birthdays, C-Suites, controversial comments, a small fortune, mispronunciations, and we finally answer the age-old question: Is a hot dog on a bun a sandwich?

Cold Open Quesiton of the Week: If you had to kick a 25-yard game-winning field goal or go one round with a heavyweight boxer, and it would be broadcast live on Netflix, which would you rather do?

Birthday Video Call: Gary calls Brian from Rapp Brewing for a birthday greeting.

Heart Attack v. Cardiac Arrest: Brian shares information from the American Heart Association that he learned explains the difference between a heart attack and cardiac arrest.

The C-Suite:  Brian explains how a little part of him died when he read an email at work this week that contained the following:

“I am doing everything that I know how to do on my part, including involving my C-Suite to get these loan docs processed and to you in a timely manner…  

I have been instructed to keep my c-suite updated in 30 minute intervals this morning with the processing of these loan docs so I anticipate a timely production from my closing team.”

Have you ever referred to co-workers as "my c-suite”? Is that one of the most obnoxious expressions of corporate speak you’ve ever heard?

  • Women/Mothers

  • Men/Fathers
