A Quick Pre-Triple D Tangent

Before they launch into Triple D, Chad throws down the gauntlet and posits whether:

There’s a TRIPLE D CHAIN REACTION …

As an example, could a douche move, prompt a dick response that turns everyone into dumbasses. It’s plausible. If you have a scenario, we’d love to hear it.

And This Episode’s Game of “Triple D” …

To close out The Hump! Podcast … Brent and Chad play a quick round of Triple D.

What’s Triple D?

They throw out a scenario … and discuss whether it’s a DICK, DOUCHE or DUMBASS move. This episode’s Triple D move.

This week’s Triple D move — What do you call … “The sports parent who thinks their kids going pro?”

We discuss and debate on the show, but feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments (keep it clean folks, as they reserve the right to delete any personal attacks or defamatory information).
