I give up. Tom is better at games, and he has a better podcasting voice, AND he's got sexier abs. What even is the point? This week we talk about those moments when it's just not worth it and you'd be better off hitting the gym than trying to collect enough lemonade to satiate the carnal desires of these fast food consumers.

We got one HUNDRED games for you, hot off the griddle ready to eat. Pop them in the microwave for 3-5 minutes. If they each cost a dollar and you had a $100 dollar bill, you'd be able to purchase every one of these games and try them out. But they don't cost a dollar, so I guess good luck?
