The Pettiest Fight Ever - Where To Squeeze Toothpaste

Season 1, Ep. 25

Wednesday, June 11, 2025

Is there a right way to squeeze your toothpaste? This week on Finally, The Meaning of Life, Mark and Dave go head-to-head on one of the most divisive bathroom questions of all time: do you squeeze from the bottom, or the middle?

Dave argues for physics, efficiency, and moral hygiene righteousness. Mark argues for chaos, mischief, and the thrill of the unexpected squeeze. Along the way, things spiral into toothpaste pumps, marital sabotage, the psychology of brushing habits, and the revelation that Dave counts his toilet paper squares. Yes, really.

🎙️ Expect:

Toothpaste tube technique debates

Spontaneity vs. structure

Pea-size portions and Marrowfat philosophy

A shocking bathroom confession

Fashion advice for Erling Haaland (again)

It’s the podcast that explores life’s big (and ridiculous) questions with comedy, curiosity, and a dangerously low level of dignity.

24:28| Thursday, June 19, 2025|Season 1, Ep. 27
It’s the fluffiest philosophical comedy showdown yet: Cats or Dogs – who’s truly man’s best friend? In this episode, Mark and David wrestle with loyalty, aloofness, and the deeply personal politics of pet ownership.Mark argues that cats are sleek, mysterious Zen masters who don’t need your approval. Dave, on the other hand, believes dogs are devoted, noble creatures who don’t care if you’re a mess — they’ll still love you. The debate spirals into tales of childhood betrayal, questionable gift-giving by pets, and the psychology of purring vs panting.💡 Are cats just housemates who don’t pay rent?💡 Are dogs the emotionally needy flatmates you can’t evict?💡 What do smoked salmon and emotional trauma have in common?🐾 This isn’t just about pets. It’s about who we are, who we love, and why we keep letting things lick our faces.#dogsvscats #catsvsdogs #comedypodcast #doglovers #catlovers
