#117 CHEATER, CHEATER, PUMPKIN EATER

🚨 ZOMBIE ANTS, VENOMOUS ANIMALS & TECHNOLOGY THAT MAKES NO SENSE 🚨

This week on The Pour Choices Show, we go from arguing about cargo vs shipment like two unemployed philosophers… to discovering that zombie fungi exist and can literally control ants like a horror movie written by nature itself.

We kick things off with everyday questions that somehow spiral into existential confusion:
• Why is it called cargo on a ship but a shipment in a car?
 • How did the first person who invented a clock even know what time it was?
 • If you could automate one part of your life, what are you never doing again?

Then things get weird.

Chris unlocks deep nostalgia by calling someone a “cheater cheater pumpkin eater,” while also casually admitting he watched an employee cheat on a manager test like that’s normal leadership behavior. Meanwhile, one of his plants is now in a full 3-week quarantine because it’s infested with spider mites… because apparently plants can have lockdowns too.

Then we get into the stuff you weren’t ready for:
• The real-life cordyceps fungus that turns ants into zombies
• Why vinyl records somehow make less sense the more you think about them
• A full breakdown of the most venomous animals in the world

We also somehow cover:
• Wizard of Oz trivia (you’re welcome, Aunt Su)
• Guessing movie characters from concept art
• Building the perfect athlete using traits from anyone ever

And just when it couldn’t get more ridiculous… we tell the story of a man who laughed so hard at a missed NFL field goal that it triggered a seizure… which led to doctors discovering a brain tumor that ended up saving his life.

We wrap it up with Would You Rather, This Week’s Pour Choices, and AskReddit questions about universally loved foods people secretly hate and the pettiest breakup lines imaginable.

If you like comedy podcasts with wild trivia, bizarre science, ridiculous hypotheticals, conversations that go from zombie ants to vinyl records in five minutes, and two guys confidently explaining things they absolutely should’ve Googled first … you’re in the right place.
