Gas vs. Electric Yard Tools: Which Wins? 🎙 #344

·1 hr 30 min·5 clips

Ryan admits his electric lawnmower failed, and he's now switching to gas after five years.

The episode begins with the hosts noting Tyler is out bear hunting, leading to Jared sitting in the studio instead of behind the glass, which feels strange. They banter about sleeping at a friend's house and chair discomfort. The conversation shifts to a viral video about construction delays, where they joke that construction workers are experts at passing the buck, especially blaming city permit workers. Ryan shares a story about a banker suggesting grass seed for a home inspection, which he ignored. They discuss home inspectors holding power and ways to butter them up. A Prize Picks ad segment follows, promoting stacks in sports betting. Ryan then reveals he's switching from electric to gas lawn tools after his electric mower performed poorly on new grass, citing battery issues and better efficiency with gas. He mentions his electric weed eater and hedge trimmer also failed. The hosts debate the pros and cons of electric vs. gas tools, including leaf blowers and snowblowers. They joke about using leaf blowers indoors and robot mowers. Later, Jared asks if he's the asshole for selling a wedding gift workbench without telling his wife to buy a snowblower, leading to a discussion on gift etiquette. The episode includes a segment on a mustache competition Ryan judged, describing unique beards and judging dilemmas. They end with a hypothetical superpower game, where Ryan chooses never needing sleep with Domino's 24-hour delivery as a side effect, and Miles chooses teleportation with diarrhea as a side effect.
