Hedge Funder Vs. Broker In Trial Of The Gym Grunting Attack

He just can't help the grunting.

Nor can he help shouting "Woo-woo!" or "Great song!" or "Good burn," or - inexplicably, "You go, girl!"

They are both a-holes obviously. They should both be banned from the gym for life.

Another annoying douche that doesn't know how to behave in public. He probaly talks on his cell throughout movies also.

Who do you root for here? One parasitic zhlub versus another parasitic zhlub who lives a couple of blocks away. A steel cage match between these sorry specimens might qualify for the comedy of the year, though you'd have to limit it to one round (rounding up).
