Inspired by Brendan Schaub and Theo Von's cheese-off, Tim and Ben have a competitive back-and-forth naming every type of bread they can think of, complete with tangents about Subway's bread smell.
- Brendan Schaub and Theo Von did a cheese off on their podcast, repeating themselves after three items.
- Tim proposes a bread-off with Ben instead of cheese.
- Ben starts with rye, wheat, and pumpernickel—basic breads to knock Tim out fast.
- Tim responds with brioche, sourdough, challah, and Ezekiel bread.
- Dispute over whether ciabatta counts when Ben hasn't looked it up and could be making breads up.
- Tim says garlic knots, then accuses Ben of naming things made of bread rather than actual breads.
- Ben introduces raisin bread and cinnamon raisin as his contributions.
- Tim counters with marbled rye, noting it's a distinctly different bread from the Seinfeld episode.
- Tangent on why Subway's bread smells like a sneaker left in the rain.
- Ben says Italian bread, which Tim accepts and declares himself the loser.
- Tim offers semolina bread and potato bread while questioning why Schaub and Von make millions doing this.
- Late-game entries include peasant bread, unleavened bread, and cloud bread before they abandon the format.
- Tim argues cheese is so much better than bread because there are far more varieties.
