In THIS episode of Who Would Win Unleashed, spinach-charged sailor Popeye (championed by Eric Holmes) throws down with the golden-arched maestro of marketing mayhem, Ronald McDonald (commanded by James Gavsie). From Popeye’s thunderous anchor punches, indestructible forearms, and “I yam what I yam” grit to Ronald’s cartoon-physics agility, weaponized Happy Meal gadgets, and hypnotic clown charisma, every dockside pier and drive-thru counter turns into a grease-splattered gauntlet in the fast-food fight you never knew you needed.
Join hosts James and Eric as they parse feats, power-ups, gag-weapons, iconography, and the delicious mind games that tip the scales when a no-nonsense sailor meets the clown prince of calories. Crack open your spinach can, supersize your expectations, and get ready for a smack-down that’s finger-lickin’ furious!

0:06.8 | wearing or taking off. The night will be wild and untamed. Expect heavy, lashing rain |
0:13.0 | that'll soak you to the skin. By Monday, temperatures will rise slowly but surely reaching |

0:23.0 | Not in the mood for miserable weather? |
0:25.8 | Fly cheaply to Turkey with Sun Express. |
0:59.7 | Sun Express, non-fi, and fantasy. I'm your host James Gavs, and as always, I'm joined by the one and only Eric Holmes. In today's episode, we have quite possibly two of the most powerful characters ever to battle each other in a who would win style matchup. In one corner, you have |
1:04.4 | Ronald McDonald, the ever-smiling, red-haired clown, and mascot of McDonald's, who spreads fun, joy, and Big Macs wherever he goes. |
1:11.8 | And in the other corner, you have Popeye, the rough and tumble sailor with forums like battleships. |
1:16.0 | Really should get that checked out. |

1:29.6 | And this battle has been discussed insanely quite a few times. |
1:33.7 | But it has never come to a decisive conclusion online, which means today is the perfect |
1:39.3 | day for this who would win on leech battle. |
1:42.0 | Eric, I have to know what are your thoughts on today's matchup? Yeah, um, you're going to see sides of Popeye that you've never known about and the |
1:50.0 | world's going to finally know who the hell Ron McDonald is. Ronald McDonald's kind of a creep. |
1:56.7 | What are you saying? What kind of, this is not about making personal judgments on our character, |
