Comments

I love how Eric and Nick stole Gavin’s picks the whole draft so Gavin retaliates and copies one of Andrew’s picks, who was on his side the whole time. 😭

Anthony Perez

Andrew and Nick have the only reasonable lists... Also surprised to not see any milk or just straight fruit juices (i.e. choc milk, strawberry milk, OJ, apple juice, grape juice...)

Jake Jarvis

Finally listening to this and my list is Liquid Death, Waterloo, LaCroix, Water, and water with lemon squeezed in

nick h

Giving away my vote here, but Eric won for me, except for the eggnog. Horchata is the bomb, and Venezuela has a similar drink called "chicha", which is delish and recommend 😎

Soots

I was loling to my self thinking of eggnog as a pick, then when Eric picked it, I lost it.

Dan Berube

Nick definitely ran away with it.

Mark Niemann

The silence that fell after Geoff said he drinks a White Monster more than anything else.....deafening 🤣

Rhys Hardstaff

Regulation listener, now comment leaver, shipping in my status here to say that this draft was bullshit 😂😂 THERES SO MANY DOUBLES! Would McDonalds coca-cola be different as well because it DOES taste different! I think Andrew won this draft and that he and Geoff were the only ones that made a list of different drinks (cause Gavin fucked himself with the Mexican Coke in the end) thanks for all y’all do! 💙💙

Jonathan69_420

I think this needs to go to food court. I 100% know who can judge this!

Nicholas O'Leary

A&W is clearly the root beer champion. It's so smooth and creamy. No other root beer holds a candle.

Kiubez

I feel like they totally skipped over the fact that Gavin’s first time having a coke was during the gurpler chug. How has he got through that much life without ever having even one coke?!

Rich W

No one was a winner on this one...

Trevor Deal

Milkshakes

Brandon Dooley

No love for chocolate milk

Brandon Dooley

My List 1) Peach Ice Tea 2) Strawberry Lemonade 3) Orange Juice with Pulp 4) Yorkshire Tea Biscuit Blend

TelestoTBK

My list: Mnt dew, cherry limeade, strawberry boba, chocolate milk

Yamori

This video was hilarious, all 5 of your lists suck though. Just the worst picks, I think everyone has maybe 1 good pick per list that's it.

Super Daddy Kyle

i mentally inserted "respectfully" before "you dunce" 😂 per the last ep

Arielle G

wild....

Arielle G

these are wild. i love a cherry lime combo so i may have to go find that in the wild???

Arielle G

Eric won me over with the Eggnog

Buggy52

This may very well be the funniest draft yet.

Craig

Is the poll not up yet?

LynkedLyd

With all Geoff’s talk about moving to Michigan and then not picking Vernor’s Ginger Ale was very disappointing. I have to go with Nick on this draft for pure comedy value. For actual drinks, this one is ruled a No Contest.

AArthriticGamer

But then somebody could say “soda” which would cover all soda, or “juice” which would cover all juice

Yash

Andrew wins this one for me

Natalie

Literally my first thought after watching this through

HazyTiff

I'm shocked nobody chose water. I think Geoff has the only list I'd be able to drink, so he has my vote. If I could make a list, I would have been able to do Water, Orange Juice, Apple Juice, and 2% milk, with Earl Grey Tea, green tea, fruit punch, and Peach Mango V8 as backups.

Josh O.

Calling for a drinks draft V2 where you can’t pick multiple of the same thing. Coffee includes all coffee Coke includes all Coke etc.

Chaz Carter (BlindyTheBat)

I think Gavin's coffee is too broad...I agree with his logic it's like saying a vodka coke is the same as a long island iced tea

Jordan dale

For all that Gavin was giving deserved shit on drink choices that are the same thing repeated, he picked Bovril, which is a soup, which I would not consider a drink.

Anthony Dewitt

This rules

Joe

Gavin’s right on this one and it’s not even close. Them allowing the other coffee drinks and cokes really killed the whole draft. Hell you could hear it in the cast when they realized how bad it was going. Maybe nick should put on the monkey mask for a while.

Mr. Dude Sky

The moment Gavin said "coffee" I would've asked "what kind" you gotta be more specific. Exact drink, not vague category of drink. Easy Nick win because it's the only list that I would enjoy all 4 drinks.

Robert Lacey

Monster: Mango Loco, Sobe Pure Rush: Tropical Twist, Monster: Passion Punch, Sprite

Harabec

I’m with Gavin’s list all the way.

SnortingTurtle1 (aka Lori)

I was totally with Gavin on the whole coffee thing until Geoff said try making a drink without water. It all makes sense that each coffee drink is technically different

Nicholas Zook Brimer

I want to vote sooooo much right now, gotta wait for the poll (T_T)

BeardedMcCabe

Irn-bru 🧡

WeeStev0

Is Vimto essentially an NA Pimm's?

Chaz Surfboard

Andrew wins just for the Dr Pepper shout

Toby Ives-Moody

Just in the middle of the first round - the squabbles indicate this is going to be an excellent draft

Chaz Surfboard

Then I'll nog out with my dong out, according to the rules of this draft

DT Hugo

so against Gavin's take on coffee. as a former Starbucks barista, they're all fuckin different! espresso beans and coffee beans are not the same, either, you dunce! I prefer an iced Americano to an iced coffee!

lexilucy

I think Gavin is right about coffee and americano but everyone else is right about coke and diet coke. I think Gavin should have to pick a coffee. It would be like if Andrew said soda and then everyone else picked a brand of soda. Gavin needs to be a little more specific unless he just means like bog standard in a pot coffee.

Alex Watson

oh yeah I'll nog out with my dog out

Kenanu Reeves

Gavin's take that "coffee" would cover all coffee-based drinks is insane. Like Geoff said, that would be like someone picking water, and the draft being over because every drink has water in it. I like Earl Grey tea, and I would classify a London fog as a completely different drink.

Lynndon Barr

I have to go with Nick. Love Arnold Palmers.

Josh Blankenship

Coming back to the end: Nick, Eric, Andrew, Geoff, Gavin is the correct order of correctness

Kyle V

Nick wins. Rationale: he was most true to himself.

Matthew Spinapolice

Eric "the coffee guy" Badour apparently isn't a drink guy???? Eric... gotta call bullshit

Kyle V

I'm with Gavin coffee should cover it all

Tim

Andrew and Nick really stuck to their categories

Luke Elliott

Yeah I guess the issue is the lack of rule setting. But I don't think having americano and coffee on the board is in the spirit of what was intended... Hence why when they voted on it, it was 3:2 (albeit too late)

Willsy

Eric wins for horchata and eggnog

Luke Elliott

Honestly my vote is for Eric, I was going to pick whoever picks water after it wasn't picked fist but that didn't happen.

Fungal

I'm voting for Nick. Yes, each drink has coffee, but each are their own distinct flavor.

Dhuvy

One of the best drafts. Geoff gets my vote.

comment leaver.

“Nick will get his first and second pick” had me rolling. Haha.

Gafgarian

I feel like Gavin’s take on this draft is literally insane. You would never walk into a coffee shop and say “Yeah, I’d like a coffee.” I guess it’s technically correct but the clerk would no doubt look at you like an idiot. Oh, and Eric won.

Patrick Gordon

I LOVE vimto, also from being deployed in Kuwait. You can find it stateside in a lot of middle eastern supermarkets, which is so nice.

Jesse Gax

I am feeling mmm Geoff on this one. No one took the golden snitch for me I knew would not be taken of cranberry juice. I like Geoff's hyper specific this one flavor of drink found only at sonic though.

Matthew Hughes

Everyone thought water was going number one. No one picked water. Insane.

Kelzoula

Barq's has bite. Mug just doesn't. Sorry for letting you know so late in the root beer game.

Kelzoula

Eric clear winner here, so much soda from Andrew's corner hahaha

Connor Dykeman

Water and hot chocolate being undrafted free agents is a real surprise. I’m gonna keep an eye out for them during try outs. Really rooting for water

RegulationGraham

Because Andrew picked the right Mountain Dew, and all those sodas are great, I’d have to vote for him

sugarpuss

With Gavin 1000%

Folds2008

Geoff Wins, then comes Gavin, Eric, Nick and Andrew loses. I chose Gavin's coffee to be homemade or just a good ole regular coffee however you take it with cream/sugars.

Emily

Nick wins, just because I have yet to find a drink that has brought me more comfort and happiness than a London fog. Are there better tasting drinks out there, yeah, but it is so good.

Fredducky

Andrew's list will give you diabetes, but it's still the best

Willie

imo gavin should have never been allowed to pick coffee…it’s like picking “juice” or “soda”. it’s way too vague

Kat

Andrew or Eric. I lean more towards Eric simply because the variety.

Thomas

Gavin wins

Steven Cini

ranked every choice 1-10 and added them up here are my scores: gavin: 24 andrew: 17 nick: 20 eric: 20 geoff: 21

laul

Andrew loses because he picked Barq's root beer the worst of the root beers. Mug is so much better and if you're ever in St.Louis Fits's is the best root beer in the world.

Goshawk

No Chocolate Milk is crazy

Joe Knoelke

This was a real “States” draft kind of episode

Nijabunny

I wonder what Graycies list would have looked like🤔. Just as chaotic?

Rae

Great draft, but the I think you misspelled the title. It's spelled "Coffee" draft. Lol

Bennu

Mexican coke is 100% different than regular coke. Also, coffee is coffee no matter what variation sooooo Gavin is right lol

Tino Q

By that logic somebody could have just picked Cola and taken all of the colas. And it rule set where they didn't determine whether they were doing broad categories or individual actual drinks someone could indeed have four different coffee drinks.

ViciousWarGoose

andrew won and its not close at all but code red bad pick + amount of coffee in this is unreal

ky

Andrew better have Canada Dry! (haven't listened yet). As a European who recently went to Canada, that is a god damn good soda.

AEPSchmitt

same brother

ky

This was great! I can see why Gavin is annoyed 😂

Wes

Everyone should combine their 4 drinks together and see whose tastes the best

Clark Allenby

1. McDonald's Coca-Cola (they refrigerate the syrup and carbonate it differently which makes a huge difference) 2. Sweet Tea 3. Chai 4. Lemonade Interestingly, Gavin's last pick (Mexican Coke) is, a lot of the time, just Coke. They sometimes sweeten it with cane sugar, but a lot of the time it's just the same HFCS we get north of the border and it's a placebo effect. (The glass bottle does provide a different drinking experience which plays into it.)

kazmeyer

Regulation Scottish list 1.Irn Bru ( in Scotland irn bru is more popular than coke and is the only country like that) 2. Red Kola 3. BARRS Cream Soda 4.BARRS Cherryade

Connor McNutt

Nah, they both have their merits, the citrus is just more refreshing for me if I've been skateboarding or cycling

Dylan

My wife thinks the red oasis is better... grounds for divorce?

Willsy

Andrew by a long shot

Piotr Gruszczyński

So someone could have picked latte, cappuccino, flat white and iced latte and that would have been perfectly fine?.. Nahhh, I'm with Gavin on this one. Funny draft though 😂

Willsy

It is tho

Hamilton Turner

Correct. Born and raised in Arkansas and I've never understood the obsession.

Eddylet

Man, I've been meaning to try horchata for years but I'm so forgetful

Eddylet

Barq's Root Beer Apple Juice Strawberry Lemonade Sprite

Eddylet

I am drinking a Dr. Pepper as I watch this.

Austin Breuer

Yeah, I was leaning towards Geoff but then Andrew busted that out. Instawin

Eddylet

That's assuming his intent. Just because you and others view it that way doesn't make you right. They should have made him be more specific not just assume he only meant plain black coffee.

BDsterne

Nick cannot be forgiven for putting espresso into a london fog. I bet that sick fiend drinks dirty chais as well

Sam

Regulation UK coke Citrus oasis White coffee Tango Orange

Dylan

Sprite Morir soñando Malta Goya Salted Caramel Latte

Melissa

Following that logic, would you be ok with someone choosing a dark roast coffee and someone else choosing a light roast coffee because they are prepared differently?

Aaron Barcelata-O'Neill

You guys salad creamed the fuck out of this

Willsy

Surprised nobody chose RC Cola

Austin A.

Starry is not the same as Sierra Mist

Robert James

Coffee, Dr. Pepper, Ice Capp, Pepsi Max, Coke slushee

Michael Mariani

I love that Geoff and Gavin have been friends for years and neither of them have ever mentioned Vimto to each other.

A Cow Pi

Nick wins, don't sleep on the London Fog with the espresso shot.

Swone

I can't believe no one picked Coke Coffee lol

Benjamin Garner

Naw man. Unique drinks are themselves their own thing despite similar ingredients

TheDoopster

I was so sure horchata would be missed. Eric makes me happy

Martin

Best Green drink = Hi-C echo cooler Or maybe Surge

Chris Buckley

Nick won for sure

Russ

Nicks list is ballshit. I 100% agree with gavin. An Americno is just a coffee. A latte is just another way of preparing coffee. A diat coke is just a coke. They are all the same thing! Gavins gets my vote out of put anger.

Jake Porter-Ward

It wasn’t discontinued its was rebranded

A98W

Yes, Gavin should have had to specify what kind of coffee he was picking. Because he didn't it can be assume he picked plain black coffee. Every other type of coffee beverage was still on the table

Maddy

True, but coffee is ground coffee beans and water. An Americano is also ground coffee beans and water. That’s where I side with Gavin. PSL and all the other stuff definitely works.

Aaron Barcelata-O'Neill

Nick’s picks are absolutely wild. Americano as a choice after coffee is on the same level as saying Coffee with cream and sugar is different than coffee. What are we talking about?!

Aaron Barcelata-O'Neill

If Gavin likes bovril, he should have a sip when Michael tries bilk

Riley Pearsall

Andrew, cause and effect, leprechaun vs. puke.

Grant Anders

i knew the knives were comin out for this video but man did they come out fast

Eddie

Eric

PissBat

Andrew wins on Barqs alone

Pokara

Andrew wins. Only L is moutain dew. I also love Eric's horchata pick.

Felipe Arcos

Lilt is just Fanta pineapple and grapefruit now. Sad times

Rab

Gavin you might be interested to know that Lilt was actually just rebranded to Fanta Pineapple & Grapefruit

Ashwin Kesso

shocked no one went milkshake or sugar free red bull

George Wasserman

I agree with gavin, what a bullshit list

Alejandro Tovar

No orange juice!!!!

Ash

I like more of Andrew's list but Geoffs list is pretty good if diet starry was was replaced with lemonade he would have the win for me

Boone Bass

Great Sunday

Joakim XwIIcK Lundberg

H-20=12

Trentons_Adventures

The fact that water was mentioned as a first round pick then not picked at all is a crime

Andrew Owen

I totally disagree with gavin. Coffee is an ingredient in drinks as well as a drink. Picking just coffee is coffee by itself the black coffee that Eric drinks. The difference between a coffee and an iced latte are vast, there are a lot of people who like one and hate the other. Claiming coffee as an all-encompassing category would be like picking soda and then claiming all fizzy drinks.

ViciousWarGoose

Draft hype!

Jared Freiwald

I’m picking Gavin, just cuz this list is a travesty. Also, not one fantana.

Robert Gibbens

I agree with gavin on this one

GolinSoul

In reference to Gavin's coffee argument, the question becomes "where do you draw the line?" If someone picks Root Beer, are cream sodas off the table? They're just root beer with cream in them, which is pretty similar to the differences between different ways to prepare coffee. I was with Gavin at first, but the longer I thought about it, the more I think I agree with everyone else. Like, you couldn't pick "soda" and get upset when someone else picks coke. Gavin essentially just picked traditional coffee, not the entire category of coffee.

John Wagner

Piss, #1 rat sponsored drink

Corey Burns

Now I want eggnog and I'll have to wait a few months 😥

Rebekah

Ooo Andrew with the shout-out to L&P. I didn't know that was available in North America

Nicholas Hays

I’m from Oregon so that might be why, but I have never heard of IBC root beer

Kyle

I know going all soda is a little boring but goddamn Andrew did pick pretty much the best 4 sodas.

Archer

Eric wins for me. Lots of cinnamon milk tho

Josie

I looked into it, and Geoff's explanation for Sierra Mist's name change is something that influencer made up. That's not how those laws work.

John Wagner

Gavin finding himself in the 'correct category' here. I'm calling bullshit and shenanigans on the whole sub-coffee category. If it was Eric or Geoffs pick, they're losing it haha

Kieran Mckendry

Ugh Geoff was doing so well, and then he picked sweet tea.

nd4spd1919

Andrew wins, hands down, there’s not even a second place. But also, Cheerwine for the missing hits!!

CheapCulture

Pecos Pete!

Jacob Collier

Horchata is such a great pick that I wouldn't have thought of

Nicholas Hays

Cherry Vanilla Coke Cherry Coke Vanilla Coke Coca Cola

Joben McBuff

Full Throttle Blue Agave Hershys Cookies and Cream Choclate Milk Orignal(light Blue Can) Diet Pepsi Jumpin Jack Splash mystery Soda, Limited Time flavor at jack in the box the tased like liquid Sour Green Apple Jolly Rancher

ThatoneGuyoverThere33

Dang, I told myself I would vote for whoever picked water, no matter what. Now they made it a difficult choice. I think I would go with Andrew. None of those are my favourite drinks, but at least he doesn't have any in his list which I actively dislike.

Kristen

Yes

Edgar Vega

All good things come to an end they chose to go out on a high

Jackiswellcool

"Get a bit of Lilt down you"

Anthony

Apparently not if it was discontinued

Adam Hilario

That’s not really the same. Coffee is an actual drink where as soda is a category there’s not a huge overlap with sarsaparilla and Mountain Dew, but most coffee drinks are a ratio of three ingredients.

Adam Hilario

Nick ez win

Semi Aquatic

Nicks list wins for me buuuut Yellow edition Red Bull Iced brown sugar oat milk shaken espresso Baja blast Dr Pepper

Kaitlin

If Eric didn't start with some nasty diet crap he'd be the winner.

Nando

My picks: Apple Cider 90s Surge Sioux City Sarsaparilla Mountain Dew Pitch Black

Apathetic_Titan

As someone who vomited up a blue slushy, that'd be my pick for blue in the rainbow vom challenge.

Chad Jorgenson

this was insane.

Lemur Wetsuit

Of the four Eric’s would probably be my go to. I drink Diet Coke every time I go to a movie and I’m always excited about the time of the year I get Eggnog and PSL’s. Horchata is the weakest link in his lineup for me; a nice flavor that I enjoy every time I have it but never seek it out specifically.

Micah Johnstone

Former Pepsi employee here. Sierra Mist and Starry are not the same thing. Sierra Mist is made with sugar, Starry is made with corn syrup. And from all the research I’ve done, the Cierra Myst lawsuit isn’t actually true. If someone has sources to prove me wrong on the second part, I’d love to see them.

Littleroot Lessons

this is a rough one lmaoo

Hunter Mackey

Horchata Lemonade Chocolate Milk Squirt

David Vazquez

If Eric wanted to go for a win he definitely shouldn't have drafted Horchata. Diet Coke, PSL and Eggnog are pretty good general choices. Chocolate Milk would have been one the audience latched onto I bet

Daniel Hodder

Gavin has a right to be mad at everyone picking different coffees but to be fair if someone said soda I’d be annoyed at the broadness

Jonathan

Code Red is a trash Mountain Dew flavor

Anthony Decker

I’m halfway through but I assume Coke Black won’t make it and it’s on my list! Coffee and coke!

Cody

McDonald’s Sprite, Rosé Monster, A&W Rootbeer

Lindsay Wiebe

Nick and Eric are insane. Either they need to do broad categories (coffee for americano/latte, soda for coke,diet coke) or just the subset because them picking subsets of coffee after Gavin picked it was ridiculous. Hilarious, but no way would I have accepted that argument.

BDsterne

Lilt is an unbelievable pick NA people are missing out

Jackiswellcool

The great coffee controversy (I’m on Gavin’s side)

Tyrnip

24:45 Lemonade Stand-Off. DO IT.

Shpluj

This is a horrible draft in the best way possible. But damn 3 coffees within the first half is crazy

Steven J Norris

another victory for liquids

Depholt

Is eggnog a drink or a treat?

Austin A.

I’m with Gavin, this was BS! lol

Lindsay Wiebe

I'm a coke zero guy

Ronnie GalaxyRay

My favorite part of these drafts is the excitement during the first 11 randomizations, when the final randomization is (surprisingly) random

Booper2ooper

It’s Draftin Time 😎

Dustin

Just got to the gym, couldn't have picked a better time to drop this. Can't wait to see Gavin pick Flumpto Buggins as his favorite bev

Booper2ooper

Huzzah!

Algos!

YES PERFECT TIMING; why the thumbnail a bottle of piss?

Troy

Let the controversy commence ❤️

Oliver

Nice!
