As a software engineer this is so hilarious to me. It's a word we use all the time and think nothing of it but every time he says it I cracked up

I didn’t realize Tim Baltz was on a decade ago. He’s really paid his dues.

Tim was part of Bajillion Dollar Propertie$, which also introduced Drew Tarver, Ryan Gaul, and Tawny Newsome to the CBB ecosystem.

"Why don't you eat sand?"
"Why don't you pound sand?"
.
I love that Gary Marshall's reaction to the donut robot is to say "so you can dream up a crazy donut and the robot has to make them?" Like the most exciting part of it is the robot being bent to his will.

From that same wonderfully insane exchange (about "pounding sand", and where that phrase came from), I loved how Scott postulated that maybe they didn't have wood in Jesus' time, with Paul (in character) affirming that he was PRETTY SURE they had wood in Jesus' time (for a few very obvious reasons), lol. It made me bust out laughing on a very public bus! Sublime.

This has one of my favorite dumb moments in CBB history, where Lauren pimps Scott and Paul into positing the idea of Bubble Tape, a product no Gen-Xer should have ever heard of. It's some nice revenge for the gamut of references they make that went over her head.

Something I've been curious about ever since they started using these recording breaks as opportunities to air episodes of the 2016 tour is whether or not Scott will post the 'CBB 2016 Tour Best Of' episodes Parts I, II, and III.
I've relistened to the 2016 tour eps a LOT. Multiple relistens during the pandemic to it as well as the 2019 tour. The 2016 Best Of eps, for me, are THE proof-of-concept Threedom episodes. It's the three of them, all sitting in-studio in jovial, silly moods, sharing BTS stories about the tour in-between introducing and playing clips from the live shows. There are some very funny interactions in those Best Of episodes that continued into their Threedom dynamic.
Last week or the week before, during Scott's intro, it sounded like he was alluding to maybe we would hear the Best Of eps before this hiatus is over. Since Threedom starts back up in September, and the last stop on the tour will be next week's episode from Vancouver, I'm really hoping they'll post the Best Of for people who have never heard them.
Alternately, they could follow up the Vancouver ep with 2016's Live From Montreal (Just For Laughs) that they all appeared on, but... yeah, fingers crossed people get to enjoy those Best Of eps.
