Not a lot. Not a lot. I don't like it. Spitballers podcast back at you.

Andy, Mike, and Jason. Episode 108. It's going to be great. Sometimes you remember in the third bar of the musical intro that you, in fact, are the one who has the opening scat. The scat master. that you, in fact, are the one who has the opening scat. The scat master. And then you just dive deep into the recesses of your musical brain and the Weird Al. So the food album from Weird Al.

Oh, so good. This is a great question. This is a great opening conversation. I'm fat. The food album from Weird out was the first compact disc that i ever purchased on my own as a youth do you guys remember the first album that you bought per your money yes your money it wasn't given to you as a present your money you went to the store and you bought it it was such a big deal. What did you buy?

I had plenty of other compact discs, as you call them, from the catalog where you get. I would say most people call them CDs. I would say most. And we're getting back into this. All right, all right. But no, no, no. I had other CDs from like the, you know, one sent a CD if you sign up for life with this catalog. Oh, that's a whole other discussion.

Columbia House, yeah. But the first one that I went into a store and purchased with my own money was Bush 16 Stone. So you were older. And yeah, I was a little bit later to the party, but it was, I mean, talk about a home run for a first album. Oh, it's a great album. Andy, do you remember the first album you bought? No idea. No idea whatsoever. I've been trying to think back it's funny i have those memories of albums i did buy you know you'd go to the used record stores and things like that i remember

buying a single of a garbage song oh you know when it rains it probably you know remember singles you'd buy single yeah so for me it, for the kids out there, singles. What is a single? Well, they buy singles. You can buy a song at a time now. I guess that's true. That used to be like a big deal back in the day. But for me, it was for Christmas one year, I was given a gift card to a record store.

And it was one of those mall record stores where- Yeah, $29.99 a CD stores where 29.99 is 25 freaking dollars so it was like i came in with my gift card and then i'm sure i had to pay extra just so i could get the food album which is legit that thing is full of certified bangers from front to back and on that weird owl note. Lasagna, don't get any on ya. That's right. That's right. La, la, la, la, lasagna.

Five stars. There are very few things a 16-year-old son and his mom can agree on these days. However. One is not your username, Boom girl 79 uh however that username in a 16 year old sure you can however the spitballers podcast manages to be one of those few agreeable things the spitballers have saved our relationship many times what By offering laughs when we needed a break from stressful driver's ed lessons or arguments about farm chores. They're living on the farm.

Is it farm or fam chores? It says farm. He's reading it correctly. We also have many inside spitwad fan jokes now, which I know drive the rest of the family nuts. I'm happy to hear that. They just don't understand our jabs about your local wizard or making a boot the size of a continent

or being allergic to poison. Allergic to poison. Poison. Thank you for being there to help mother and son bond during some of the most important shaping years of both of our lives. You guys are the best. Well, BoomGirl79, you are correct.

You are right. You are correct you are you are correct and just to tag along that's outstanding uh i have had several game nights uh where we're playing uh code names with with some friends online and and very frequently the word poison comes up and everyone is quite tickled when every time the word poison is said, I just jump in with, poison, poison. Turns out, everyone is allergic to poison. We went up, Andy and I went up to a cabin, and as soon as the word poison comes along, there was like a 30-minute screaming at the top of my lungs with that voice.

That's great. He brought that voice back. We went on a little hike to some sort of national monument. You got to be careful when you're out here looking for bats. There's a little placard out front of the monument, and it's talking about this miner's town from the 1800s. Built in 1899. He read the entire thing in that voice for everyone to listen to.

The voice from, what is that, Big Thunder Mountain? Oh, my gosh. That's right. Yeah. All right. Let's do some Would You Rather. Would you rather. All right.

Poison. Alex from Patreon, would you rather be down two and have to kick the game-winning field goal in the Super Bowl, or be down one and have to hit two free throws in Game 7 of the NBA Finals?

This is a no contest for me. No debate, I'm taking the free throws. But you gotta do it twice. I know you play basketball. I'm taking the free throws. But you got to do it twice. I know you play basketball. I only have to do it once. You're down one. I'm down one.

I just have to tie it to not be the goat. And that's not the good goat. That would be the bad goat. If I miss that field goal, look, I've watched football for the majority of my life. I still remember his name, Scott Norwood, 1990. Missed the field goal in the Super Bowl.

Buffalo Bill fans have hated him since then. I shouldn't remember that name, but I do. Is that the wide right? Yes. I remember his name because he was a goat. I believe that was ray finkel is the name you're thinking of i will say this to your credit when you think like i don't know how long ago it was now several years ago in the nba finals it was the calves against the golden

state warriors and there was that crazy moment they They were down two. They were at the free throw line, hits the first, misses the second, and then passes it out, and the guy dribbles like he thought they won the game, and he dribbles the clock out of LeBron's. You're talking about J.R. Smith, and that wasn't the... I don't think that was the finals. I don't know how it wouldn't have been the finals when they're East versus West.

That was the LeBron meme of him shouting at someone. But my point is, you remember not the name of the guy who missed the free throw. You remember somebody else's name. Yeah, yeah, that's fair. So for me, this is a callback to, I didn't play a lot of organized sports when I was a young lad. I did play basketball i it was one maybe maybe two seasons and the only points that i scored came on free throws now uh, I'm older now. I understand the rules of free throws. But I now can look back at when I shot said free throws. I did a full jump shot.

I definitely jumped and landed over the line. They gave you credit anyway? Yeah, they let me have both of them i want to do that in the finals but i do remember uh the other team was very upset with the ymca referee letting it happen at the time letting it happen the guy was just like the ref like i can i can now picture myself as the adult ref talking to that kid who's like dominating one team, and then one kid comes in and he shoots a free throw the wrong way, and you're just like, really? Just let him shoot the free throws.

That referee knew those might be the only points you'd ever score. Yeah. When a kid shoots like that, you just got to let that roll, because good for him. It's legit. That's the only points I – Good job, buddy. Good job. I'm proud of you. Those are the only points I ever Good for him. Good job, buddy. Good job.

I'm proud of you. Those are the only points I ever scored in my organized basketball career. I don't doubt that. When you started by saying, I'm older now, I understand the rules of free throw, I was like, wait a minute. At what age do you have to be to understand the rules of a free throw? You stand at this line... Oh, I was in like fifth grade.

And you take a free throw. I didn't know that I couldn't jump, and I didn't know I couldn't go over this line. Oh, I was in like fifth grade. And you take a free throw. I didn't know that I couldn't jump, and I didn't know I couldn't go over the line. Now, here's the reality. They don't teach you that. I am great at basketball. I think everybody knows that. Oh, my goodness, Mike.

You get that sound effect out. Andy and I are both great at basketball. Andy's very good at basketball. Andy is very good at basketball andy what's our record against each other oh get get out of thousand and oh i've never lost that is false is it it's 100 false oh did you beat me once no you didn't continue yeah i've beaten you many times you're just referring to when i was a freshman when have you beat me more than once i have beaten you many times. You're just referring to when I was a freshman. When have you beat me more than once? I have beaten you many times, my friend. We've played many one-on-one games where you have been defeated. And I will accept your challenge anytime.

Yes. Yes. Yes. If the Spitwads need to watch this game, this is good content. Two late 30s fellas going 1v1. It will be rough. You guys will be gassed when the score is 2-4. Jason will wait for a very windy day, and then he will challenge me.

Yeah, you're darn right, because I'll back you down. You can't stop this 270 pounds of mass. You will definitely back me down. And now you're leaning into your mass. Oh, you're darn right. And then I'll take a little layup. And I don't even care if I miss, because I just gonna box you out get the board i'll shoot 50 times there pad the stats get those rebounds but do you know the rules of free throws i actually do know that now that

i'm a grown-up i've learned the rules of a free throw so here's the thing i think there's a lot of pressure to to make those free throws because they are automatic. You should make those. I don't know how I would do at kicking a field goal. I've never kicked a field goal in my life. So if I had to truly choose one. It's harder than you think. If I had to choose one, I would have to choose free throws here because I just don't know.

But what I want to do, like which one is more appealing if I was the same quality? If you succeeded in both of them, which would you rather have succeeded in? Exactly, if I succeed at either, I want the field goal. I want the Super Bowl. All right, Derek from Patreon. Either your eyes or your ears can now save files and upload them to the cloud for easy on-demand recall. Would you rather have your ears be a continuously rolling audio recorder or your eyes be a continually rolling video recorder uh well this is easy for me fellas

okay let's hear um you know you know how you always see those you know movies where people just turn the pages of the books you know what i mean like they're just like you know they just quickly boom boom boom boom boom they just see the pages of the books. You know what I mean? They're just like, you know, they just quickly boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. They just see the page of the books and they can recall it. They can read it. Okay, yeah. You know, that quote unquote photographic memory, right? That's the dream is I can recall anything I've ever seen before.

Yes. That'd be nice. I would do that in a heartbeat i mean without a doubt that you're saying the video one yes the video being able to here's that's not the same thing as memorizing it you would still have to go to the right page in your mind you just now have a video of the book you read that you can now go back and read you don't you it's not the question is not do you just import all the information of everything you see it's it's recorded so you're telling me that i can't remember when i saw anything that i recorded no i'm telling you i'm telling you that you can remember it but you don't

know all the words that you know all the words but i You don't read all the words. But if I remember when I read it, I could pull it up and read it out loud right now. Let me give you a little tip here. If you want to reference something that you've read before, you can currently turn to that page in a book or open it on your phone and read it again. But what if I'm out at like a dinner party? What if I don't have any service? And it's in the woods. What then, Andy? Hold on. party what if i don't have any service and it's in the woods what's then andy hold on i'll be with you in 10 to 15 minutes i just gotta find this spot in my mind i want the endless cloud recording

of the audio because i will win more arguments but you can't play it back you can't play it back. You can't play that back to someone. You know what I mean? You can play it to yourself and be like, I know I'm right. And then they're like, I don't know you're right. I can't hear what's in your head. I think I could use that in an argument with my wife. No, I'm listening to it right now. You did not say that.

Yeah, I think you could. Eventually, you could establish in the relationship i can record with my ears and go back that's right that's right i feel like that would be a really easy thing to prove of like give me write down 50 numbers and and tell them to me and i will repeat them but like we can establish that i can record you could take advantage of that, though. Okay, all right. You remember when you said this? I have it in my brain. You can't see it. Hold on, hold on.

Let me go back. Okay, so here's the thing. You did say I could buy that Xbox. Yes, you did. I remember. We are talking about things that are practical and useful and recalling something to use to our advantage. But tell me what audio you're going to recall

that is as beautiful as me being able to remember firsthand the Grand Canyon or that beautiful sunset or these picturesque landscapes and events and my daughter's wedding and all these things that I can see and experience. All without sound, though, right? Yeah, Jason, do you enjoy silent movies no i don't enjoy silent movies i don't even i don't even enjoy black and white movies that have full sound and soundtracks and acting i don't get that out of my life oh man that's what you'll be watching you'll be watching silent movies which do you go with mike oh man i i'm curious

what the spitwads out there will pick for this too yeah it's it's really interesting and i feel like there's gonna be more practical things if you if you can remember everything that you see but knowing myself as a human and when i have a mistake in my life and I just keep replaying that mistake, if I'm going to compound that with seeing everything that I did during that mistake, if it's just hearing it, maybe I can let it go. It would be pretty special for memories of family members and stuff like that or raising your kids. That'd be nice to be able to just...

I guess you see it. Yeah, to be able to see it, because I don't record everything. A voicemail or a silent video? I'd rather have the silent video. Yeah, all right. You win, Jason. I'll take the video. All right, Owl, you need to post this to our Twitter as a poll, because I am curious what

Andy said. This one seems really close. I'm curious which side the spitwads land on. Cool. All right, we'll do it. One more would you rather for us. Quentin from Patreon says, would you rather be given one million pennies

that you need to roll yourself- Oh, goodness. Or be given $5,000 worth of $20 bills right now. Okay. So if you have the 20s, that means you have five grand right now. That's such a large disparity. And one million pennies is $10,000. That's $10,000?

Yeah, that's $10,000. So it's double the money, but you've got to roll a million pennies. Have we done this math? Did we verify this math? I will pay you $5,000 to roll those pennies for me. I mean, or maybe 4,000. And then I take an extra thousand. You have to roll yourself.

That's what it says. Oh, it did say that. You have to roll yourself. No. No going to the Coinstar machine. Give me five grand in 20s. That's a million pennies. That is not a small task.

That is one. It's 20,000 rolls of pennies because there's 50 pennies per roll. Oh, it's only 50 per roll? I thought it was 100 per roll. Wow. Yeah, I mean, this is not. This is not close. Mike, when he first heard this, was like, well, that's such a large disparity of money,

which means he's more on the million penny side. Yes, I am. like well that's such a large disparity of money which means he's more on the million penny side yes i am that extra five dude if this was one million pennies that you need to roll yourself or a 20 bill laying on the ground i'd then i would really have to stop and consider my options let me let me ask you guys this have you ever bought anything of substance so like i guess yes i guess have you ever bought anything with change yeah not since i was six back when before i knew the rules of free throws i used to do that so i i remember very vividly i went to uh i was i know, junior high, where I could walk to a Best Buy, and the game, and this, for some, this will bring it back, but Syphon Filter was a,

it was the hot release for the PlayStation 1. At the time, it was just called the PlayStation. Like, this is how long ago this was. But all I had was, I collected change because I would, like, every week, I would hit my parents up for change and my grandparents up for change. And I would just like collect it. So I had rolled coins and I went to Best Buy with them with coin. All I had was coins.

Oh, they hated you so much. Did they accept the rolled coins? They accepted the coins. But here's what I had to do. I had to write my name and my address on every single roll of these coins, and there was a lot of them. It's a $50 video game. And the address?

I had everything. I had some quarters, but I had nickels. I had dimes. I had a lot of the small things. So I remember being there in line for like 15 minutes, writing my name on all of these rolls of coins. So that way when they count them later, you're accountable to it, right? And I'm a young lad, so I'm like, oh, man.

If I'm short, they're going to get me. They're coming to me. I'm going to go to jail. Throw me in the paddy wagon. You can get devices to help you roll coins, which I think is appropriate. Not to count them for you and give you money, but to just help you quickly roll coins. That being said, there's no chance on planet Earth that I'm hand rolling these. Hold on. Hold on.

Hold on. If you can get good enough to do these one minute per roll, you would be working eight hours a day, five days a week for just shy of eight weeks for that extra five grand. But that does come out to about 30 bucks an hour. That's the math I don't care about because I'm going to take $5,000 for free and I'm going to run and do whatever I want for those eight weeks. I was trying to think of what if you were told you could have unlimited money all the time, but you always had to roll it.

You have unlimited money, but what good does that do for you? You better write your name and your address on there. How long did you say it takes to roll $10,000? If you're working eight hours a day, five days a week, it'd be just shy of eight weeks. Eight weeks? That's if you can roll one per minute. In pennies.

I mean, yeah, we're just talking pennies. Yeah, that's a problem. Yeah, go get yourself this big, beautiful mansion in 50 years. Yeah, that's not going to happen. With bleeding hands. You just can't do it. Your hands, they smell so bad. They smell like penn can't do it your hands they smell so bad oh pennies not only that so bad they're dirty you're yes you die of dysentery long before you

ever get enough coins rolled by that house a lot of dysentery on the pennies in america that's the number one uh spreader of dysentery cause of dysentery is pennies. Jason's so smart, he should explain something for us. Oh, no. Jason explains in 60 seconds. Are you going to spin the wheel, Al? Oh, there's the wheel. Jason gets to explain something. You have 60

seconds to explain. Hiccups. Seatbelts on airplanes, apparently. Hiccups seatbelts on airplanes apparently hiccups are something that i can explain even though no scientists can't scientists have been baffled by hiccups that don't understand why it happens it happens due to carbonation that goes into the body any kind of carbonation and here's the thing you're thinking oh it's soda water uh beer or something that's no no no anything that has any kind of bubbles drink that water too fast. It's going to create, basically, look at the ocean when it goes

and it crashes on the ground. That's carbonation in my world. And so what happens is anytime you're throwing stuff into your belly that carbonates the water, it bubbles up into your esophagus, and then all of a sudden you get these hiccups. Now, there's two different types of hiccups. There's the hiccups that are normal, just, and then there's the hiccups that you're going to pull the side you're going to pull the car over to

the side of the road because you are in dastardly pain you feel like your chest and your esophagus are are are spreading to bring a watermelon down your mouth and you and and so here's the only solution they say scare it out of you it doesn doesn't work. They say, grab some peanut butter. No way. They say peanut butter? Yes. The only way to absolutely get rid of hiccups every single time is you have to take a large glass of water and you take the tiniest sips possible, tiniest imaginable, over and over and over and over until you feel like you are about to suffocate from no oxygen. And when you finally gasp for air, your hiccups will be gone.

Wait, you don't drink. I thought you're supposed to drink a cup upside down. Isn't that the. I've done that, too. But that's like a 50-50 rate. You're talking 80-20 when you do the other. So that's everything you need to know about hiccups. Thank you so much.

I've got two points. One, my favorite part of these Jason explains in 60 seconds is he feels the panic to talk as fast as he possibly can. Got to get it in. So much information in my mind. He doesn't just talk at a regular rate,'s very bizarre, but every time my wife eats a piece of bread, she gets the hiccups almost instantly. That means that the bread is interacting with the stomach acid to create- Carbonation.

You guessed it. Carbonation. You guessed it. The ocean's one of the leading carbonators in the world. We learned that. That's right. That's what I'm saying. You're right. A bottle of the ocean carbonators in the world. We learned that. That's right. That's what I'm saying. Right. A bottle of the ocean water, but you got to get it at the crashing waves. Otherwise it's not carbonated. At the crash. Yeah. When I was a kid, I watched a TV special where they highlighted the world

record for hiccups, which was like somebody had had hiccups for 20 years or something. And they're alive? Yes, and when I heard this, from that day forward, every time I got hiccups, I feared becoming the 20-year hiccupper. Just a funny story. There was a story where Mike got the hiccups. We were doing a live show in California for the footballers, and we were at our hotel. We're all enjoying dinner outside.

This is the night. This is the night. We were by the ocean. Yes, we were by the ocean. There's so much carbonation there. And we actually had like a staff contest of who can run because we were about a half mile from the water. And it was late at night.

Who can run and touch the water first? I was flabbergasted with how bad these hiccups were and the hiccups you're flab i like you guys are just like oh it's flabbergasting okay mike you're starting to annoy us now i wished for the sweet relief of death these hiccups were so bad and so so every single one. They were violent, Mike. They were violent. It was so unbelievably painful in my chest and my esophagus. And it lasted for at least 45 minutes.

I've never. That's the longest I've ever experienced someone. That was the worst hiccup bout I've ever had in my life. It was the worst. I'm super happy we were there to experience that. That was so special. It's on video. You can find it.

All right. Situation room time. The Situation Room. All right. We've got a couple of situations that we can most certainly help out with. Turner from Patreon, which, by the way, you can support the show, become an official Spitwad by going to spitballerspod.com.

Click that button. You get an extra, you get basically an extra episode when you do it, because we're always releasing one episode early. So you get, you get, you know, early access. You want to get ahead of the curve. Yeah. You got to be ahead on, then you know all the carbonation facts and that you can share with your friends before they know them.

Yeah. You sound like a genius. The three of you are tasked with going door to door to sell three different items. You have to sell a cat for $200. You have to sell a coffin for $800. You also have to sell an artificial Christmas tree for $300. You have one hour if all three of you successfully sell your item you each receive 10 grand if one of you fails to sell your item you all walk away with nothing who do you believe would be the best person to sell

each item so i think what we need to do here is rank the difficulty scale of selling these items. Is it more difficult per person though? Possibly. Obviously, you guys might be allergic to cats. That would be difficult. You're not going to like this, Jason, but you're selling the cats. I don't think

that's the best strategy, man. It is 100% the best strategy because both Andy and I, our eyes would be shut. Our cheeks would be bright red. Oh, no, wait, Mike. We can use that. We can use that in our advantage.

If we show up in an asthma attack, these people will feel the... This is the best cap that I am allergic. They'll feel like they have to take the cap from us to save us. Yeah, but they have to give us $200. Yeah, that part's tough. If someone showed up to my door having an allergy attack with a cat saying, can I get $200 for this cat?

It would be, I feel like. Depends if you're an anaphylactic shock. Yeah. You know, maybe this is from my past sales experience. I'm a great salesman. I feel like I could sell any one of these three things. But a cat for $200 has to be the easiest thing on here to sell.

Now, I hate cats. I wouldn't buy a cat. If you paid me $200, I wouldn't take a cat in. But you go door to door. It's fair. You're going to find someone who wants a cat. And I assume cats like dogs cost money i don't know i would never look into that um but someone's gonna want this cat for 200 bucks i feel like

that's the easiest thing here to sell selling a coffin for 800 which now that's a good deal on coffin because coffins are is that a good deal coffins he's. He's looked into that, not the cats. No, I just know that some people talk about like the exorbitant. Door-to-door coffin sales, that is fabulous in my mind. Yeah, that's a job that we all can aspire to. Because you've got to hold the coffin for a while. Once you buy the coffin, you've got to really store the coffin. I feel like I'm bringing a catalog or some photographs. I'm not going to have that coffin on my back while i come that's what i was

do you pull up in a hearse with the coffin in the back like check this out like as a door-to-door salesman of a coffin yeah that's credibility do you have one to two of the product in the back oh man that no you can't do it in a hearse because then people you want to show the you want to show your product they come out and they're afraid of you opening the door to that what if you have a hearse but your horn is one of those horns it's like i mean if you got it's got to be the ghostbusters first you know what i mean if you're gonna drive on up this is like a ghostbusters on like does that happen yeah do you slip in you're going to drive on up, this is like a Ghostbusters theme. Do people try coffins on? Does that happen? Yeah.

Do you slip in? Do people go and pre-buy? Or is this all post? I am feeling it. There has to be people that do that. What's the price on this one? I can sleep in this for eternity. But I do know that funeral expenses are-

I could decompose in here. Funeral expenses are crazy. And so I have to imagine that there's some coffins that cost thousands of dollars. Yeah, there are. So I'm going to assume that this is a good price on a coffin. But still, it's the hardest one. Mine better have Bluetooth. Yeah.

And a forever battery so that you can take advantage of that Bluetooth. I need jams in there. I think you'd be better just putting a portable radio in. Artificial Christmas tree for $300. That should be easy if the time is right.

Yeah, hard in July. But easy to store in the garage. I mean, you want to get a sweet deal? I feel like I can handle a Christmas tree. I have... Jason, you have to sell the coffin. It's the hardest item to sell here. Yeah, and I know I could sling a coffin.

I'm positive. Mike, how long could you last with a cat? Less or more than me. That's all that matters here. I will say this. Our time is probably equal. But I am a man who loves a Christmas tree. I have actual passion and who loves a Christmas tree.

I have actual passion and love for a Christmas tree. I have a white Christmas tree that has been up in my house. I think we're going on 20 plus months. Wait, it's still up? This thing is just up. It's up forever. It's just a tree at this point. It's just a tree did you lose the magic it's just there and it was funny i think my kids asked probably like a week ago why is there a christmas tree in there they just noticed it and

i said it's not a christmas tree it's a and i just i was like it's a summer tree and then it will be a fourth of july tree and then it will be whatever holiday we're coming up to. So you've been quarantined in your house so long and you still haven't put your Christmas decorations away. Not all of them. Alright, so I have the cat so I'm dead. You guys sell the coffin. You sell the

coffin and the Christmas tree. None of us get any money. I go in the coffin and then the Christmas tree you can bring to my funeral. Jason, we just got a coffin for $ for 800 i feel like that's a good deal hey it's a smoking deal mike i'm glad to be a part of it you can resell it with me in it uh that's not the worst thing in the world me and the cat 300 yeah for 300 all right anderson from the website your local way oh the local wizard is back it's been too long your local wizard has run out of storage in his magical home he's giving away possible for a wizard but it's no it is it's possible i've

looked into that uh he's given away potions for free because of the lack of storage he has given you three uh or i'm sorry he is he gives the three of you the following three potions okay turn invisible for an hour. Okay. Not bad. Just one hour, though. Not bad. Be able to selectively hear people's thoughts for two hours.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Dangerous. And then turn into an animal of your choice for three hours. Now, you must decide among yourselves who gets what potion and what you will do with it. Are we all... I mean, we're all arguing to

be an animal for three hours not necessarily because i think invisibility is close but yes that is the best now what animal would you be let's say it on three one two three eagle lion oh did you say a bird that's way better yeah i'm gonna be flying i'm an eagle i'm and also when you turn into a lion on your city streets you're gonna i'm in trouble it's not gonna last long you got three hours to die animal control i'm gonna be flying the bird is the here's the problem though uh and i didn't say anything because i couldn't think fast enough, but I think the bird is the right answer. Yeah, it is. Eagle. Bald eagle.

If you turn into the animal, do you get the animal's brain? Because the last thing I want to do is turn into a bird. No, you have your own brain. A bird and the bird's like, I want to eat something. No, you have your own brain. It's you, but you're just in an animal form. Okay. Yeah, well, that one's really cool.

The only downside of turning into say an eagle or i should have gone like well no pterodactyls the military would be there immediately um but any kind of you know if you're an eagle the only worry at all is just that you're you're looking at that three hour time limit and you're you know because you don't want to run out mid-flight and be like this is the best moment just one more flight but um okay so we all would like that we'd all like to turn into yeah i just don't know how to use invisibility for just one hour like both that and the hearing people's thoughts are incredible but i can't pinpoint the utility of the one-time use what's the one time in my life i need two hours to hear somebody's thoughts what's the one time in my life i need to be invisible for one hour i can

tell you what i would do with one hour is that a bank heist no no you're thinking way too big it's called a nap with the hour you just oh my goodness it's called uh i have to run to this mike do you need help yeah mike this is a cry for help i'm running to the store i'll be right back and then i just go up to the bed and i vanish for an hour because i want a one hour nap i i take naps probably once or twice a week are you telling me that you can't take a nap without being invisible you've never been around the collective of my three children i have but i guess i've never had to completely care for them. You ever seen Macho Man do a flying elbow off the top ropes?

Oh my goodness. Man, what can we do for you, Mike? How can we help? You can give me a potion that turns me invisible for an hour so I can take a nap. He does the same thing with the animal potion. He just takes a nap as an animal for three hours.

I'd like to be a cat. Either way, no matter what here, this is just for, even if you get stuck with the mind reader, he's just going to listen for when he thinks his children are distracted. Oh, they're gone. I'm napping. Mike wants a nap potion for three months. A one to three hour nap.

Oh my goodness. How much does that cost? I will pay. Oh my goodness. I'll take. Poor soul. Well, then Mike gets the invisibility because he's got very important naps. You're generous.

I answered eagle first, so I get the animal. And Andy, you said that you think that this could be really valuable to hear people's thoughts selectively for two hours. That's the one I don't want since you already said it would be okay. I'll tell you what. I'm sticking you with that. Don't use it around me or you're just going to hear someone going, I need some sleep.

Man, I could really use a nap right now. What the spitwads don't know is that for the last three times he tried to record the show, Mike's used the hour to just nap in his chair because he told the family he's coming up to do the show and he's actually just dozed off. It's a special two-hour episode. Don't check on me. When does that two-hour episode you recorded release? Any minute now.

Oh, my goodness. All right, let's draft. The Spitballers Draft. All right, if I wanted to give Al some credit here, he's really tied in the animal theme throughout the show. We are drafting. We're battling once again because we can't help ourselves. We always

need to fight. Right now, we're stuck in a pet store. Being stuck inside of a pet store means we have limited options. We're going to draft items in a pet store for a battle royale. Mano y mano y mano.

Pets abounding. Jason has no idea what he's going to pick mike has the first pick and uh do and we're kicking it off right here right now yeah so i've made some terrible choices in these drafts in the past i still picture myself riding around on a lawnmower going four miles an hour trying to run you over was pretty epic all right so it's a pet store so we can get pets yeah yeah i mean if you can if you can get it in a pet store then you can use it to fight and i will say i know i can get this in a pet store because i bought one in a pet store before that's a solid uh rational solid evidence

uh well i just like i don't know what what's going on with pet stores these days. Oh, my goodness. Okay, so I am going to buy snakes. Okay. Okay. I will take snakes. I'm sure there's not poisonous snakes in a pet store. Snakes are a nice deterrent from another person. They're a nice deterrent. They're long.

I feel like I could swing a snake around if you needed to swing it i got a snake man if you need to swing a snake you can swing a snake i mean that's look a lot of people are afraid of snakes so if you had a snake flying at your face i feel like that would be andy are you afraid of snakes uh i'm not a fan i'm not terrified about snakes flying at your face yeah i'm scared of snakes flying in my face mike thank you the nice thing is i i am most things flying at my face to be honest i'm right a moth a moth flying at my face i oh those are the worst here's the deal i'm not afraid of snakes now i'm don't hear what i'm not saying if i open my door and a rattlesnake was on my porch i'd be very

upset i would not like it i would shut the door i wouldn't be like i'm not afraid of you but i don't have a fear of them especially knowing that we got these items at a pet shop i know that it's not poisonous i could take whatever it's gonna you know it but but in but in the heat of the moment you're not gonna know for sure look if it bites it bites it doesn't we have talked to be poisonous we have talked about my fear of spiders no tell me more especially big ones tarantulas are instant heart attack but like scorpions are far more dangerous they're also arachnids al borland can attest i have killed one at my house i was not afraid of it i don't i don't know what it is but i am so happy that you didn't take a tarantula because in you win or at least

you beat me instantly with one item either one of you get them sure i'm heart attack so i am going to draft a tarantula and that's not coming into battle it's not coming i'm just drafting it away from you guys i'm just taking it off the table i'm going in with three i would rather fight with three items against your four items so long as i know for sure you have neither one of you have my argument of use like you can't draft a tarantula because it's just gonna sit in the tarantula case. You're darn right. And that's what he's going to do.

In fact, I'm going to have someone kill it. He's going to draft and step on a tarantula. Oh, I couldn't step on a tarantula? That would never be able to. Oh, my gosh. I couldn't even fathom stepping on a tarantula. Oh, my goodness. I would die.

I couldn't even fathom stepping on a tarantula. Oh my goodness. I would die. After that whole diatribe, I thought for a second that you weren't going to take it, and I was going to quickly draft a tarantula. I'm so happy. That was apparently going to be on the table. All right. At least now I can stay in this fight.

Oh my gosh. Okay, so I have a couple of picks. I'm at a pet store. I need to try to defeat you guys. And a snake was on my list. I did not have an animal on any animal on my list. It was the only animal on my list. Somehow a snake seemed like the only thing worth drafting.

It's the only animal on my list too. I wouldn't have drafted a tarantula had you not brought it up, but then I would have drafted a tarantula for sure. So I'm going to go with a couple of different things here. I'm going to draft a large cage. Okay. There are cages at pet stores, and I might need it. If you politely ask me to get in, maybe I'll fall for that great trick.

I might impolitely ask you and push you in there so once you you'll be in a cage so controlled me once i've controlled you yes and then uh well look i'll use uh i'll use some canned food that was on my list it's a great pick and so you know i knock you out with it jason and then put you in the cage in the pet store mike's always drafting batteries to throw at people i think you might actually not be able to draft batteries for once mike honestly i mean canned dog food is much better than batteries great they're bigger i mean that's like you can throw that thing like a baseball you could throw that thing it's how you're ending up in the cage 60 miles an hour what do you how how can you throw

a baseball 60 is about as fast as i could throw a baseball yeah but you have to throw a can like a football no i don't think you you don't need a spiral on a can mike you need end over end action you need to kick it like a football i don't know we we need to we need to discover this because i feel like trying to go end over end, you're not going to be accurate. I think both methods will hurt your face. Yes. If they hit you in the face, yes.

Worse than the snake. Like the snake hits me in the face. I'm like, wait, was that a snake? The snake is mental warfare. Got it. Yeah, it's not physical pain. That's what the cage will be as well. All right.

So I am up. And I'm going to draft something much better than a snake that he's whipping around because I don't care about the mental warfare of that. I'm going to draft a metal chain dog leash. Oh, dog leash was very high on my list. Those big chain ones. I'm basically, yes, basically for my first. It was going to be my first pick, but when he took snakes, I was like, someone's going to take these tarantulas and I am screwed.

So I am taking the chain dog leash. I mean, that thing, I'm whipping that around. Yeah, no, you're good. You're good. That's a great pick. Whap you in the face. Yeah. Around your neck.

I had leash on there. I didn't really think about the chain leash. That's for like the dogs that are chained up in the junkyard. Those are guard dogs. The junkyard dogs? Yes. Okay.

All right. So, Mike, you're back on the clock. It's a very solid pick. It would have been my next pick. That is for sure. Can you fight a snake with a chain? Is that a pretty good... Sure.

I'd rather fight with the chain than with my fists. I mean, I'd rather stay at a distance. But here's what I know. Come at me, snake. Here's what I know. Let's say Mike is swinging his snake around, and I'm swinging my chain around, and they hit each other.

Well, that snake's snapping in half, and my chain's coming after you. Okay. All right. It's not poisonous, though. Not a poisonous chain. Or snake. Or snake.

Mike has two picks. All right. Two amazing picks on the way. So I hope you guys can understand what I am drafting if you've seen it i i doubt it but i'm going to take a uh i will take a pooper scooper rake oh sure okay all right yeah i mean that that wasn't too hard to understand that was easier than the free throw rules those are pretty common i know the free throw rules are hard but yeah i mean we've all seen a free throw rules are hard for

a fourth grader, man. Take it easy. First of all, you said fifth grader before and a first grader. Anybody who's watched one game of basketball – Did you ever watch a game of basketball before you played it, Mike? Did you get to practice? Did they hold a practice before the game? We didn't do free throws in practice.

We did layups. All right. We're back here to pooper scooper rake, which is a very descriptive term, and we understand it. Which is a descriptive term for a three-foot rake. You got a mini rake. Yeah. But you're in a pet store, so you can't draft a full rake. I like your disparaging my attack weapon when I actually have a weapon.

Yeah. I mean, it's not going to hurt that bad. My chain is at least six feet, so come at me. All right. Pooper scooper rake to go with your snakes. Yeah, I got snakes. You ready for battle? I'm torn here.

I really... I have a couple picks. I have one that I really want that I hope you don't take but we're look we're in a pet shop I feel bad about it because I love my my animal brethren

but I know that people are also scared of this animal so I will take rats so you're gonna unleash I'm coming at you I'm coming at you with an army of snakes and rats and nightmares now so if you can get about a foot off the ground you're safe from mike's warfare yes and also also you ever watched steve jones the last crusade just to be those rats you don't get a fleet of rats right you're not getting 20 rakes are you

you just drafted a rat but i get rats there's multiple rats in the okay i'll give you two i'll give you two oh no i get at least five that's fine i will step on them okay so you will not if we're in a battle to the death you're're darn right I'm going to step on him. I'm 270 pounds of rat squash. Hold on. I need to ask a question because we're more than halfway through the draft. You're Black Plague. Jason, are you any closer to using the tarantula for a weapon?

Never. Than you were at the beginning of this draft? Never. The only way I would ever use it is if you guys could find a way to draft something that makes me need to um take an easy way out and then i would go and take the tarantula heart attack uh well i want to get you in the cage we'll use that tarantula jason oh no you're you're back on the clock all right this is uh this is great this was gonna i got my first and second here, and we're in the second and third round. I am taking a three-foot, one of those super long dog bones.

You know, for those massive dogs. There is no such thing as a three-foot dog. No, there are three-foot dog bones. I personally buy them. I know there are. And it'smas some picture you throwing that thing around oh i'm not throwing it that's a dog bone it's a baseball bat man i am talking about one of those like things that almost it's not even like a bone itself it's a rawhide

yeah rawhide created uh it's got like two balls at the end and i buy them all erroneous three feet oh no i i'm telling you think about think about no. I'm telling you. Think about this, Mike. I'm telling you you don't know what three feet looks like. Do you remember the Christmas season? Have you ever been to a pet shop at a Christmas season? Yes. They changed them from the normal bone shape to a candy cane shape. And they're gigantic.

They're dog Christmas treats. They're three feet minimum, maybe four feet. And they're huge, massive bones. We bring them in, and it's so funny to watch our dogs have them in their mouth and carry it because they can barely lift the thing. I buy these. I'm telling you, I'm coming at you with a three-foot baseball

bat bone. Well, the only thing I can find, let's see, but I find three-foot ultra-light dog bone. We'll give you a three-foot. That doesn't sound very... Will you accept a huge dog bone as your entry, Jason? Yes, 100 ultra light dog bone we'll give you that doesn't sound very will you accept a huge dog bone as your yes 100 because dog bone was on my list was yeah dog bone is definitely a i will accept a huge three-foot dog there are three it's a three-foot dog bone which i did i did look for a huge dog bone and it came up as a three-foot dog bone mike so we have uh we have proof they

are out there i've bought them many times. In a store. Mike so far has snakes, a pooper scooper rake. Rats. And rats. Jason has a tarantula. You guys are definitely overselling how you are not afraid of rats. Okay. All right.

I would be afraid of rats at my house. If I was laying in bed and a rat came across the room, I'd be terrified. I would be terrified. We used to have rats. I had pet rats for a while. I'm not saying I would not be afraid of rats at my house. If I was laying in bed and a rat came across the room, I'd be terrified. I would be terrified. I'm not saying I would not be afraid of rats. You're right. I would be terrified of rats. But if I'm in an arena and we are here to battle

and battle to the death, and I am prepared to fight and kill or be killed, and these rats are coming at me, I will kill, and I am confident I will win that fight. Now, if it's like 100 rats, okay, then I'm dead. Did you know that while the rats are attacking you, I am also attacking you with my pooper scooper? With this pooper scooper rake. I will rake your eyes out.

Okay, Jason, so Mike has snakes, pooper, scooper, rake, and rats. Jason has tarantulas that have been cast to the side, a chain leash, and a huge dog bone. Can the record show these are caged tarantulas? Caged tarantulas. I have a large cage in and of itself, some canned food to throw, and I've got to finish out my draft right here. And look, I'm going to blind you guys. Oh.

Because I'm throwing cat litter in your face. Oh, excellent. I'm taking some cat litter. If that's just like dirt, that's a great pick. I'm going to blind you. Yeah. That's right. Take that.

I saw that on Bloodsport. Bloodsport? Yeah, Bloodsport. That's exactly what's exactly what i was thinking i'm 100 sure it was cat litter it was definitely cat litter uh and uh this last pick is it's going a little deeper but uh it's it's a dog toy and i'm taking a tennis ball bazooka It's a dog toy, and I'm taking a tennis ball bazooka. Because they make those to shoot tennis balls. A tennis ball bazooka, baby. No, it's just like a little air pump. You pump it, and it shoots it out like a... It shoots the ball out for the dog to go get,

but I'm going to shoot it at your face. Okay, okay. But now, to be clear, what you're shooting at my face is a tennis ball. At a high rate of speed, Jason. Hold on. What's the miles per hour we get out of this bad dog? Well, it's a bazooka.

You get bazooka miles per hour. That's an official measurement. It's a bazooka. I would have to disagree with you, Jason. Bazooka miles per hour to the face is not gonna be okay with a tennis ball i mean a lot of things are hitting people in the face snakes and uh hey that's rats tennis balls it says if you pull the lever all the way back it'll launch about 50 feet i don't know what the velocity is but well you're only gonna be two feet away when i fire this at close range that's gonna

be at close range that would hurt at at a distance i'll be able to dodge but at close range, that's going to be a problem. At close range, that would hurt. At a distance, I'll be able to dodge. But at close range, it would hurt. And honestly, that's a very clever pick. I had not seen it or thought about it. And kudos. I think that's... I also need to purchase one of these for my dog so I can launch...

And I need to purchase one for my children so I can launch it at them teach them a lesson um all right so am i am i on the yeah you got your last pick jay all right i got a couple different ones here but i think i'm gonna go i'm gonna go eventually you got to go for that final kill you know i knock you out with the dog bone i whip you around and tie you up with the leash the tarantulas are keeping me safe and they're just hanging out they're just hanging out far far away but once i've got you a little incapacitated i don't know if you have seen these there are safety versions and non-safety versions i will definitely not be taking this is not going well but the

versions no no no i'm just saying some the ones that that that we have bought are very not safe they are as dangerous as any tool you'd get at home depot they are large breed dog nail clippers and they're basically like they're basically like little shears. They're just. Yeah, I see. So you're going to chop us up with these? I'm going to slice your neck. But it's a nail clipper. So the opening of the hole is only probably about an inch and a half,

two inches. Like a garden tool. Yeah, it looks like a garden shear. So you're giving me a bunch of pinches. It's going to be a lot of work. Oh, it won't be pinches. Trust me things are so sharp it is terrifying i get these things anywhere near your skin and it is a gash and you don't want that gash on your neck mike okay all right all right that's fair um let's see so i got what do I, I got snakes. I got a poop.

I got a snake, man. I got a snake, man. I got a pooper scooper rake. I got some rats. Mike's Mike saying, reading that list with, with a little bit of different inflection in his voice, like not pure confidence in this battle. Well, it's, it's honestly, it all comes down to the imagination of the voter. How many of these animals do I get?

Because if it's two rats, that's not a problem. If I get 20 rats, that's a big problem if I'm going 1v1 here. I am going to select aquariums. I will take aquariums. It was on my list. Just to drop in and have shards of glass. This is a glass aquarium that I will

be throwing at people. You're throwing the aquarium. Now, I think that's a mistake, Mike. I think what you want to take I can do both. I can smash one and I can get a giant shard of glass and come at you. Be careful, though. Because if you throw it at me, it's's gonna hit me

unbroken and break on the ground and then i'm picking up the glass and i'm coming after you with your own weapon if you drop this thing at your feet yeah but you can grab here's what you you are leaving out that you bending down bringing your face anywhere close to the ground is just the right you are you're in my army of snakes and rats except for they're all dead because the aquarium squished them all yeah they're on the ground possible i did have aquarium on my list that was okay i also had a shock collar oh some kind of like you know i would just run and put it on you and make a sound i i'm very vulnerable to somebody putting a collar on me in the middle of a battle no no i'm not putting it on you like hold still i'm gonna put this on your neck

i'm saying i'm i run by and i just hit you with it you know what i mean like just like a little zap when i hit you with it i go roof yeah like a taser i basically have a taser i just go but then you bark you bark yeah and then you're like oh what the heck no wonder you didn't draft i did not draft it because they're they're they're made to not hurt you know they're not trying to kill the dog they're just giving them a little buzz so you'd be like ow that kind of hurt and then you'd attack me with your aquarium shard so i did not draft that i almost drafted literally some of those like grow lights for an aquarium that are so blindingly bright. But I'd already blinded you with the cat litter, so I didn't need to double blind you.

Yeah. I mean, a heat lamp, get it all hot. Those get hot. Those get really hot. You can just scar us. You can really get a nice tan. Give us a real good burn on about a three inch section of our body. Mike, could you put

your hand under this lamp for an hour i'm gonna burn the heck out of you all right final team al why don't you read our final rosters off for the spit wads all right mike's got snakes pooper scooper rake rats and aquariums jason has caged tarantulas chain leash huge, huge three-foot dog bone, and large breed dog nail clippers. Andy has a large cage, canned food, cat litter, and a tennis ball bazooka. All right. Hey, the tennis ball bazooka, that's a late round good pick. Steal.

I like that. That's a steal. It's a great pick unless Jason actually has a huge three-foot dog bone bat. Ooh. Yeah. It's coming right back at you. Jason's just playing a game of baseball. Just to play devil's advocate here, the Bazooka 9, as it's listed as, gets terrible reviews,

and functionality may or may not be good. That's not... You've really ruined this draft now. Enjoy your jam. You know what he didn't draft? Tennis balls. It does come with two. All right.

He comes with two. I only need two shots. Jason can't swing that bone like a bat. You only need two shots until my metal chain whaps you in the face and you go night-night. All right. Let's figure out what we learned. What did we learn today? I'm claiming it before anybody else i learned and this is the first time that i've known this that the ocean produces carbonation as the waves crest onto the onto the shore it's it's an

excellent thing to learn i learned today that I really when I'm buried I want the deluxe version, man. I want the Wi-Fi. I want the Bluetooth. I want the speakers. I want everything going on. Mike just wants a nap. He wants a nap. If it's in a coffin, it's in a coffin. I also want a one hour nap. I learned

that Mike needs invisibility in order to take a nap in his home. Oh no. Help. All right. That is it for the Spitballers this week. Thanks for tuning in, supporting the show. Instagram.com slash SpitballersPod. Check it out.
