At 35:02 · chapter starts 32:40
Inspired by The Wager, Matt starts calling Shane a landlubber, triggering an escalating credentials battle [1] — Shane Gillis "Matt calls Shane a landlubber.

Shane marshals his evidence: a 10-day Carnival Cruise at age 14, daily swimming laps at the neighborhood pool, even boxer-brief Speedo experiments. Matt counters that coastal paddleboarding doesn't count and that their friend O'Connell is the real salty dog — he's on a boat every 10 minutes. The debate reaches a comedic peak when Shane, after building an elaborate case, simply confesses: 'I'm a landlubber.' Matt is floored. 'You just built this whole thing up.' Shane concedes he has never been at sea for more than a day. Lemaire Lee weighs in as a 'freshwater guy' but contributes the episode's darkest joke — his former doctor, who was a great physician, died at sea when he fell off his fishing boat and the boat came back around and ran him over.
Matt calls Shane a landlubber. Shane fights back, citing a Carnival Cruise at 14 and daily swimming laps. Then Shane immediately admits he's a landlubber who has never been at sea for more than a day — crushing his own argument.
Lemaire Lee's former primary care physician fell off his fishing boat, which then circled back and ran him over, killing him at sea. His new doctor is terrible by comparison, prompting Lee to eulogize a man he genuinely misses.
