Description

Using a split-screen, Jared and Michael square off in their respective daily routines.

Jared's exercise routine is yoga, while Michael's is swimming. Jared feeds his fish and changes a light bulb, while Michael does laps. Then the Olympic star appears on a foreign game show, while Jared poses for a picture with a girl who's apparently a fan. Michael does a professional photo shoot.

In the end, the two guys sit down next to each other in a Subway, each eating a sub sandwich of their choosing: Jared with low-fat Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki and Michael with a Meatball Marinara.
