> [@FloatyGimpy](#): > > I was oddly surprised at Max when he couldn’t drive properly. I was expecting a big freak out but he just quietly kept at it. I felt a little glee the first time he failed so dramatically and was mildly guilty when he didn’t act like the ass I’d classified him as. I must say if I had someone talking to me like Katie was talking to him I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have been as calm as he was. > [@zut](#): > > So… although they’re both kind of annoying douches, neither seems to realize that the _other_ is, in fact, an annoying douche. If that makes sense. This makes perfect sense and is the best way I’ve ever heard to describe couples like this. I like to think they’re saving two innocent people from each other. ---

> [@zut](#): > > [Phil and his dad, season 13](http://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/phil-keoghan/photos/195278/76287) It took me forever to find, since the show title wasn’t in the thread title, but I’ve always loved [this imagined conversation](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10335355&postcount=9) between Phil and his Dad, written by **Just Some Guy** after that episode aired: > [@](#): > > Phil’s Dad: So son, you just stand out in fields waiting for people. > Phil: My job does have a lot more to it. > Phil’s Dad: I’m just asking since there’s a lot of standing. > Phil: We have to wait for the last teams. > Phil’s Dad: Your brother Chad’s veternary practice still could use some help… > Phil: _Sigh_ > > Phil’s Dad: Where’s yer kiwi accent when yer on the telly? > Phil: Fine, dad. I’ll tell them about the trip for coming in first using my accent. ---

I must say if I had someone talking to me like Katie was talking to him I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have been as calm as he was. Me too. I felt like a jerk for happily waiting for him to act like a jerk and he never did. Then the same thing with Katie doing doing the challenge with the syrup and feathering. I thought she’d be a complaining princess and she wasn’t, she just pushed through and got it done. I don’t know, maybe they aren’t as bad as everyone thought they were. ---
