Would you rather save your wife or Ted Bundy? Real Question🤡

This might be our most chaotic “Would You Rather” episode yet.

It starts innocent enough — a debate over whether you’d rather have more milk than cereal or more cereal than milk. Seems simple, right? WRONG. That harmless breakfast question spirals into a battle over sogginess prevention techniques, breakfast-shaming, and the moral failings of anyone who skips the most important meal of the day.

Then we crank the stakes:

• Save your wife or two strangers?

• Save your wife or an elderly couple?

• Save your wife or two infants?

• Save your wife… or Neil deGrasse Tyson?

• Save your wife and Ted Bundy? (Yes, you read that right.)

Somehow, this turns into a debate about timelines, historical icons, the court of public opinion, and whether we could crowdsource a “Bundy Tracker” app. Spoiler: Ian will always choose his wife, and he will explain exactly why in a way that makes sense… and then doesn’t.

Finally, we hit the internet’s most ridiculous question yet:
Would you rather get $5 million… or cancer?
There’s allegedly nuance here — inflation, economic drop-in-the-bucket theories, and the type of cancer all get thrown into the ring. We even meet the Redditor who asked it, and oh boy, their comment history is something.

This episode is pure chaos from start to finish. If you’ve ever wanted to hear three grown adults make life-or-death decisions about hypothetical cereal bowls, serial killers, and science celebrities, this is your jam.
