Starting point is 00:00:37 explore unrealistic situations, and give random topics more thought than they probably deserve? It's the Spitballers Podcast podcast with andy mike and jason welcome in everybody what happened what happened yes Oh, baby! He's back! He's back! What happened? So, as we started, I had one thought. It was very small. As my thoughts usually are.
Starting point is 00:01:18 We've got a space-themed draft. Uh-huh. Zip just seemed... You know, just like, I don't know. Is that the sound of moving through space? I believe it is. That is my understanding is you zip through space. It was kind of muffled.
Starting point is 00:01:33 It was soft. It went too long. Yeah, so I started there. Oh, he's back, baby. And then I didn't know where to go from there. I got lost in a wormhole. Welcome in. I can't wait for someone to just be like, bit it, that.
Starting point is 00:01:47 Oh, and just end it early. It just stopped. Zip it a boop. That's all I got for you. Well, that's one of the exciting things about the Spitballers podcast. You never know how it's going to start. I closed my eyes. It was sultry.
Starting point is 00:02:01 I bent the ear towards my co-host, Jason, and I absorbed and brought in all of that. You're welcome. Would you rather? That's a great question. And a Best Space Movies draft on today's show. It's going to be a great one. You can find us on Twitter at SpitballersPod.
Starting point is 00:02:18 SpitballersPod.com is the website. I gave you a three out of ten. Three out of ten. Yeah. Well. Not very good. I gave me a four. Instagram.com slash SpitballersPod. Thank you for reviewing the show.
Starting point is 00:02:31 Thank you for well, he's grading himself. I know. And he only gave himself a four. And he likes to cheat. It's still a failing grade, but it's better than what you gave me. We appreciate everybody supporting the show at Jointhespit.com

And those reviews, we read every single one of them that come through. And we really appreciate it when you tell your friends and family about the show.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Honestly, and I'm sure Al can echo this, there is nothing cooler than when you find out a family has been posing would you rather questions from the show or doing the draft with us or playing along from home because that is awesome absolutely all right let's get it going would you rather? I would. Kirby from Patreon.
Starting point is 00:03:30 Some more what? This, the year. All right, here's the first question. The year is 3021. Oh, my. A little ways away. And random people are chosen for Coliseum-style entertainment. The game, it's hide-and-seek.
Starting point is 00:03:44 The catch? Of course course the catch is the winner gets the best life ever but the loser gets well they get axed so we've gone forward a thousand years but we've gone back and we've gone backwards and we all know that's that's that's where we're headed yeah we know so you're getting rewarded with a great life or or you're getting axed.
Starting point is 00:04:07 Would you rather be the hider or the seeker in a coliseum? Well, I mean, is that to be considered? Isn't the real question, like, would you be a better hider or a better seeker? Well, you've got to pick. I mean, because if you're in a coliseum, I mean, your options seem limited on hiding. So I'd rather be the seeker in an open field. I would imagine there's a time limit and there's obstacles
Starting point is 00:04:28 and things that you can think of like a really big laser quest maze. To me it was you're in the Coliseum and the Coliseum is all in bounds. Fair game. Oh like the whole concourse and all of the bathrooms It's not just the dirt field because if it's just
Starting point is 00:04:44 the lower dirt bowl I all of the bathrooms. It's not just the dirt field because if it's just the lower dirt bowl, I will take the seeker, please, and I will win 100 out of 100. The problem is if it's the entire Coliseum and there's a time limit, I'm going to choose the hider in that situation. Well, what if the time limit is like one week? You have to be able to hide from this person for an entire week. That's a long time. That's a very long time.
Starting point is 00:05:05 You better pack a sandwich because you're going to get hungry hiding up in them air ducts. You can't move, right? Once you choose your spot, your spot's your spot. I don't know. I think that's got to be a fair rule here.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Because it's not Hunger Games. You're not being hunted. You're hiding. Right, but in a regular game of hide-and-seek, you can move. Yeah, but in this game, you can't. Wait, you can move in a regular game of hide-and-seek, you can move. Yeah, but in this game, you can't. Wait, you can move in a regular game of hide-and-seek? That's my understanding of the rules.
Starting point is 00:05:28 In theory, you could shift around a little bit. I feel like that's Bush League, man. If I'm being honest about hide-and-seek. You never did that. Oh, I did that. I absolutely did that, but I knew I was cheating because I was like, oh, they've already been in that room. They're not going to check there again.
Starting point is 00:05:41 And when I watch them walk across the hallway, I sneak back into that room. That's part of the game. And then I win the game. that's part of the game the best in hide and seek was when you would just you start the game very close to the seeker that's a key yeah if you're listening and you're still hiding seeking a lot that is a pro tip and then just follow i have an official rule the seeker must close their eyes and is often um and often is required to face a wall away from the players when the seeker counts the players look for hiding places and once they are positioned they cannot move okay yeah because that makes sense if you're a good hider you've
Starting point is 00:06:16 found a spot they can't find that's the point you're not it's not called hide and move seek pretend you're their shadow it's called hide and and seek. You just find a spot to hide. All right, so let's kind of bring it back a little bit so we can answer the question. Would you rather, if you had a whole coliseum, yeah, I mean, the week timeline is strange. That's too far. If it was one day.
Starting point is 00:06:39 One day. One day in an entire, but the whole coliseum. But you're stuck in the spot you find. Yes, the whole coliseum. This is where my weight. Very decrepit building. One day. One day in an entire... But you're stuck in the spot you find. Yes, the whole Coliseum. This is where my weight becomes a problem. I'm going to be the seeker. I want to be the hider, but I don't know that the air ducts can hold me.
Starting point is 00:06:57 There's no air ducts in the Coliseum. This is 3021, man. I mean, there's... Oh, it's a Coliseum style. Okay. I'm sure they've got this thing air conditioned. I mean, there's... Oh, it's a costume style. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:02 Okay. I'm sure they've got this thing air conditioned. But just to be clear, you're not concerned about your physical size as much as you are the weight of something holding you? Well, both are a problem. The size, you know, you'd go like, oh, I'm going to hide around that curtain. It's like, that curtain's got a big bump. That curtain is sticking way up from the wall.
Starting point is 00:07:22 A curtain's with child. Yeah. But then there's also like, you know, the size is an issue. Let's really focus on the air ducts here. Why? Well, that's the first place Andy's going to look. That's the primo hiding spot. And I get a little hot.
Starting point is 00:07:39 When you climb into an air duct. So this is great for me because this cools me down. So this is great for me because this cools me down. But now I've got a size shape issue, fitting a rectangle into a square type of problem. Mike and I aren't just slipping into air ducts all the time. I mean, this is generally an area that's hard to get into. Yeah, and then of course... Unless you're Bruce Willis.
Starting point is 00:07:59 Right, he made it look so easy. He did, but also the first move as the seeker is I'm cranking the heat up. Oh, smoking them out? Yeah. Yeah, that's a good idea. I think I want to be the hider, though, because it has a lot of movement. If you're the seeker and you've got to just be – I mean, you know you're not just casually walking.
Starting point is 00:08:22 You might die. You're running everywhere for a whole day. You wouldn't want to be running. Well, jogging, like a hustle. Yeah, hustle, hustle. Yeah, and I would much rather just lay down somewhere. My problem with being the seeker is I can't find anything. Yeah, me too.
Starting point is 00:08:41 If you told me I had to find you, the second that my goal is you, finding you. We disappear. You could just stand on the wall, and I would be looking everywhere. Is there something? And then I would shout, I give up. I can't find you. It's impossible. 30 seconds in.
Starting point is 00:08:58 I quit. Take my life. I quit. Is there something about the male brain that makes us like that? Well, I know it must be for all three of us because I completely agree with you. My wife ridicules me for my lack of common observance. Scientifically speaking, I have heard this. I'm not a scientist, so I cannot confirm nor deny.
Starting point is 00:09:18 But I've heard this rumor scientifically speaking. Go on. scientifically speaking go on but i'm saying like it the the it goes back to brain science of go way way way way way back when we are you know cave people and the the roles of survival were the strong males would go hunt and then you would hunter gatherer? And then you, so the female brain, as I understand it, is like, that's why they can see color more. They can differentiate color much better than us. Just the natural selection of them. Because they weren't hunters? No, because their job of gathering, you had to go out and be able to see what was not poisonous.
Starting point is 00:10:03 Meanwhile. We weren't gathering. We were just trying to find a gigantic buffalo running across a field so the human the eye or the male eye i'm sorry is more trained for movement so you need the ketchup bottle to move so we're tyrannosaurus rexus yes and it like it's uh maybe just if this is uh fulfilling the the prophecy of me hearing that but like my ability to quickly glance at the ground and see if there are ants anywhere
Starting point is 00:10:32 in my vicinity moving around I can knock that out in a split second I identified immediately but if something is not moving it might as well just be invisible because I cannot see it. So wait for Jason to start getting a little squeamish,
Starting point is 00:10:47 and he'll start moving. I can sit still forever, guys. Really? I'm pretty good at laying down and doing nothing. He can sleep still. Well, now that's actually the big issue. If I fall asleep, I am out. Like, you know, you just follow the snore, and I lose.
Starting point is 00:11:03 That's going to be the hard part. Just wait for him not to fall asleep. If you are the seeker, you just kick your feet back, read a book. You're like, you're not staying awake for 24 hours when you can't move. And you just wait and then you're like, I hear him. He's sleeping over in the third row. If you're the hider, the terror of being found is the worst thing that could happen here because if you're discovered, you're going to lose and die.
Starting point is 00:11:28 That's a 24-hour panic attack. Now, the other one is like, okay, you don't find them, you don't find them, you don't find them. But being found is terror. At any moment, you could be found, which means you die. I feel like I would be the seeker. And as soon as it starts, I gonna be like i'm gonna check outside real quick let me stop stop let me see if they're outside and then i'm out of here and then i just run away oh i thought you were trying to he's trying to abandon the game yes sir i would like
Starting point is 00:11:56 to not die and get it's 30 21 so we get shot by lasers there's no way they would catch you yeah just from twitter would you rather have the ability to at will switch your eyes to a clear 10 times optical zoom oh okay or third person bird's eye view oh both would be very cool oh i want is so much better one seems more practical yeah the 10 times zoom is awesome i I mean, oh, what is this? A low-light restaurant menu? No problem. I can see the ink on the printing. That's right.
Starting point is 00:12:33 I can read this menu. That's the first place. That's the first thing that came to mind. Right to a restaurant. The first thing was your thought of your decrepit eyes that you can't read a menu? Well, if the light is low mike it's really hard i don't want to bring my phone out and like have the flashlight on look like that guy i just want to blink once and be like look at these giant words in my brain jason is famous for
Starting point is 00:12:57 one specific thing i've worked with him for 20 years it feels like it's got to be close to that actually close to that right we've actually it's probably it's probably been 20 years, it feels like. It's got to be close to that for real. It's actually close to that, right? Actually, it's probably been 20 years. Almost. Goodness gracious. And we're talking about going back to web design. I used to work for him. I hired him when he was like 14.
Starting point is 00:13:15 Slave labor. And he paid me like I was 12. But from the very beginning. Here's your nickel. Is everything I designed on the web, Jason wants five font sizes bigger that's right so he's all he's been hitting the command plus on his computer as if he had 10 times optical zoom for the longest amount of time oh no this is how this is how I my laptop just is my laptop is just always zoomed in and for those of you yeah you go to look you go to youtube one of you guys turn yours around show show the comparison here grandpa mode this is just oh well you're
Starting point is 00:13:50 gonna have to you gotta take your screen protector off because you gotta protect from so that's one way that's called the stupid way if you're on youtube you could see the stupid way you or to be clear jason is the guy with the that phone made for 80-year-olds with the numbers the size of your hand. I just like – And it's always come down to – I just like – Just admit you can't see. I can't see very well, guys.
Starting point is 00:14:14 Get better glass. Get some – Mike, Mike, Mike. Imagine my position designing for the common man, and here's my boss constantly telling me it's not big enough. I am the common man. And here's my boss constantly telling me it's not big enough. I am the common man. You believe that you're the only man that exists. Well, I think you build for the lowest common denominator.
Starting point is 00:14:35 That's me. Do you or do you not yet have bifocals? I have progressives. Do you really? I do. You have not been public about not been public about this is the first time this is like this is like happened two months ago i don't speak uh grandfather right so so what is it explain that to me and the listener at home so my gosh we're old i i don't know that this is 100 exactly right and it's me it's mine's mine. I think what it is is that the lens, my glasses, that if I look lower, that it gets a little stronger up close. So if I'm reading-
Starting point is 00:15:13 Like a bifocal. Kind of like a bifocal, but instead of having one little section, it's much more new age. It's progressive instead of a solid visible line across the glasses. I don't want to have a visible line. But they are bifocals. They're progressives. You're wearing B. Franklins. Progressives.
Starting point is 00:15:31 I would never have a bifocal until I really need them. But you're wearing bifocals. And you're zoomed to level 50. Yeah. Also, my brightness was not up nearly enough. Now, okay, we've spent some time on this. You've never known this. Well, yeah, we've spent some time on this. So you've never known this?
Starting point is 00:15:46 Well, yeah, I didn't. I know he zoomed in. He super zoomed over there. But I didn't know he wore bifocals. Yes, they are to be called. Progressives. Progressives. But you're dual depths.
Starting point is 00:16:03 You haven't even considered what being able to see in a third eye bird's view would do no one's sneaking up on you I don't want to see my bald spot Mike come on one of these things is awesome and one of these things is oh crap I'm in third person view again I mean I would have to shave my head look I'm
Starting point is 00:16:21 falling apart physically this show is ripping you apart that's what i look like from the back yeah i don't i don't i don't want me in the picture okay gotta get it together first i can't figure that the other than not being snuck up on within a small area i can't think of the practical need for like paintball, the car hide and seek. The car has the, uh, they can give you the third person view.
Starting point is 00:16:50 That's very useful. But as a person walking backwards, you need to like walk backwards without looking and be like, let me go take in the zoom. Final answer. I mean, like just finding things. I think there's,
Starting point is 00:17:02 there's gotta be other finding things. If they're on my back, how would finding things be I think there's got to be other benefits. Finding things if they're on my back. How would finding things be easier in third person? Because you don't have to turn around. I guess he's saying you can't see the whole room at once, which you can't do with neuromalize. Yeah, we're not birds, Jason. Not pigeons.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Not see the whole room at once. But I'll take the Zoom. Also, if there is a listener out there that can fix my eyes, let me know. That's not how it works. Well, they can, sort of. I try to get LASIK. Whatever's in the front of my eye is too small. I'm just a broken man.
Starting point is 00:17:36 Whatever is in the front of your eye? I don't know if that's the cornea or if that's something else. My front eye part is too... Did the doctor describe it as that? They said the front eye part... I'm sorry, Jason. My front eye part is too... Did the doctor describe it as that? They said the front eye part. I'm sorry, Jason. Your front eye part is too small. Storm from Patreon.
Starting point is 00:17:52 Would you rather only be able to take full one-hour showers for the rest of your life... Okay, sounds good. ...or only be able to take strict one-minute showers? Okay, sounds bad. So I'm out. Yeah, but are you considering the time applications here like you got to get ready for work there's 50 minutes until work and you're
Starting point is 00:18:12 going to be late i'm not sure i'm not sure how it happened but somehow this became the jason moore hour this is ridiculous there's two other people on this show but having said that jason yes what is we you are you are legendary for your uh water wasting right for your uh uh despising of my earth my decadence you're yes that's a good word it is a good word uh lavish so you take you take a long shower yes what is the shortest shower like let's say you're you're going for just trying to do all the uh all the things that you actually have to do that aren't just stand in the shower or sit i don't know what's going on in there but what's what's that length of time uh seven six seven minutes i'm guessing i mean i every time we pickleball and i come here
Starting point is 00:19:05 and shower i'm i'm in and out pretty quick that's that's my quick shower is six seven minutes i don't think you can shower in a minute i think you can rinse off i've done a minute shower yeah but every single shower if every single one of your showers is a minute you stink you just you gotta know you gotta go you gotta got to go. You're prepared. Yeah, you're prepared, and you do hair and body at the same moment. It's all together. You just squirt a bunch of shampoo on your head, and that's your soap. No, it's, well, yeah, you could do that.
Starting point is 00:19:34 But I'm saying you could, I can put the soap in my hand before I turn the water on. Oh, so it's just the, so there's a timer, and the water shuts off. You turn it on, and 60 seconds later, it turns off. As long as it's the perfect temperature right when you turn it on. That's not counting against my minute. Yeah, that's not fair. I do have an important question. That's not fair at all.
Starting point is 00:19:51 Do you wear your bifocals in the shower? Only when I'm... Well, I will say this. I will say this. Important answer. Some objects are tough to see. It sucks when we get a shampoo and conditioner bottle that are like the same color the same everything one just says shampoo one says conditioner i'm like i have no
Starting point is 00:20:12 i'm sitting there literally holding this up like like what is this you don't wear them in the shower no i don't wear them in the shower they would fog up i have but you wear your watch in the shower of course i i used that's just i don't you can't see it wait why is that why is that why is my i mean why is that weird if i wear my watch in the shower it's just because i don't need to take it off before i had lasik i wore i had glasses for 20 years i never didn't wear them in the shower 100 of the time i swam in the pool with them too why would you're the i'm not the weirdo here. I'm the weirdo because I want to see.
Starting point is 00:20:47 You're the weirdo. You're sitting here holding up a shampoo bottle an inch from your eyes. I mean, what do you do when you're washing your hair? The water washes off of your glasses. I'm talking about like moving your... I feel like washing my hair is a problem. Do me a favor. Do me a favor.
Starting point is 00:21:04 Yeah. You can be like, I feel like I want to do me a favor. Do me a favor. Yeah. Since we are, you know, we're really informing one another's lives here with our routines. Next time for one week, shower with your glasses. It will do nothing to your glasses to hurt them. I will take a selfie of.
Starting point is 00:21:18 No, no, no. Just just the face because they're going to be so fogged up that I'm going to be wearing blindfolds in the shower. They will not be fogged at all. All right. All right. We'll see. That's a promise, right? That is a owl you're going to need to remind me
Starting point is 00:21:33 when this episode releases to try that out. Hey, next time you're blind in the shower, you'll remember. Okay, that's fair. So tomorrow. Yeah. All right, let's move on. All right, Spitwads, we want to thank Ultimate Ears Fits for sponsoring today's show. Look, we rely on our devices for everything, and sometimes, Mike, we forget about the hardware we're born with.
Starting point is 00:21:58 I'm talking about your ears, my brother. Well, I don't forget about mine due to them being gigantic. That's right, Ed. Yours, look, they to them being gigantic. That's right. And yours, look, they're not like mine. That's right. Everybody's got their own pair of ears. Mine are larger and better. Yours are so much bigger and better. And it's just like fingerprints, right?
Starting point is 00:22:15 Like they're not all made the same, and yet your earbuds out there, people have to go pay hundreds and hundreds of dollars to get custom-fit ones, or you have to get those ones that cause you pain that don't really fit. And the Ultimate Ears Fits are true wireless custom fit earbuds. Now, I have to tell you why they're so cool. I got my Ultimate Ears Fits. You have a molding process that they do, and it is so unique. It is so futuristic.

And then you have custom fit ultimate ears earbuds. It is incredible. You have to check them out. They are the world's most comfortable earbuds.

Starting point is 00:23:36 Things only fog when water's not hitting them. Like the mirrors in your bathroom fog up because water's not constantly spraying on them. But if you're in the shower with your glasses, the water is constantly hitting you in the face and the glass you're making a strong point you're saying that it is easy to see out of your glasses when there's water yes yes okay i'm trying to help you have a better life what about washing your face what you if you would like to remove them at that point that's fine i would like to remove them at that i consider all the water hitting my face the washing of my face.
Starting point is 00:24:05 I don't generally exfoliate in the shower. Well, you should try it. Look like you at the end? Nice sugar scrub. All right, that's a great question, Alex, from the website. If you had to pick one hour of the day to be your favorite, which would it be?
Starting point is 00:24:17 Ooh, I like this question. Yeah, I've never thought about that. That is a great question. I do know my favorite time of day is sunset. Okay. I don't know. Like four to five, five to six? Well, it depends on where the earth is in location to the sun.
Starting point is 00:24:39 But yeah, like just when the sun's going down, the sky is coloring up. I don't know. There's a magical time there. The day's not over, but it's just kind of like it's dusk. Yeah. See, and like the heat is going away, but it reminds me of being a kid and like swimming in a pool. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:58 No, I get it. My parents used to take walks at that time of the day and drag us along, but I remember that. Like that's a nice time. I think that would be my time. Really? You're not going like 5 a.m.? Right in the morning?
Starting point is 00:25:10 No. That's great. Not a joke or a jab. I thought you were going to go like that 5, 6 o'clock in the morning, that time when you get your work done, you get your coffee. Golden sun. The most caffeinated time of the day is right around there. But, no, I think the best time of the day is the limelight wait is that a is that what where that
Starting point is 00:25:31 word comes from yeah oh man now i'm gonna be stupid that's right i honestly don't know um i i would love to learn i think i'm gonna go from 11 to midnight i'm more of a you're gonna go from 11 to me i probably use the word completely wrong i thought lime wait is limelight like an entertainment thing yeah that's the like when you're the focus you're in the limelight and that's a light on a stage that's not what i meant well you're in like the i think i meant just like the dusk the uh limelight of the sun what's another word for dusk twilight ah that's the word I was looking for, not limelight. It's a light.
Starting point is 00:26:08 There will be no light during my magic hour of the day. Because I was struggling between 10 to 11 or 11 to 12. There's a big difference for you? There is, because sometimes I get sleepy around midnight. And I don't think I want to be sleepy during this, so maybe
Starting point is 00:26:23 I'm going to shift. I'm going to go 10 to 11 okay because I get much more done usually at night than in the morning what are you on a on a average day what are you doing well on an average day I'm probably at that point if it's been you know a work day we'll get home kids dinner tuck in bedtime homework all that jazz I'm putting on TV 10 to 11. That's my usual. Okay, so on a not average day, what are you doing? Well, like if I've got work to do, you know, we run a business here. Whenever I've got a lot of, you know, spreadsheet work or even if I've got-
Starting point is 00:27:00 Concentration work. Yeah, concentration focus work. That's when, in those hours, I can get a lot more done. Okay. My brain just works better later than it does earlier. We were just talking about this because we were working on some of the stuff for footballers together. I was like, oh, should we get in early tomorrow morning
Starting point is 00:27:18 and really knock some of this out? It's because, for me, that exact focus time is 5 to 7 in the morning. And for him, it's 10 to midnight. Yeah. I told him I'll work on this late tonight. He's like, yeah, I got it tonight. Not the morning person. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:33 So, okay. So we answered that one, right? Yeah. I think so. Sergio from Patreon says, if all statues on earth came to life and became hostile, which one would be the deadliest or scariest and the most difficult to destroy? David. No. I mean, that would be a problem. Sheer size.
Starting point is 00:27:51 Okay. Yeah. He's just, he's, because he's humanoid, right? Is that a big statue? Yeah, I think so. How big is David? Let me find out for you. Let me find out for you. Let me find out for you.
Starting point is 00:28:08 How tall is David? 17 feet tall by 6.5 feet wide? Yes. So the Statue of Liberty could kick David's butt. Oh, I didn't think about the Statue of Liberty. Yeah. Oh, I didn't think about the Statue of Liberty. Yeah. Oh, man. All I was thinking was I was just thinking about a human being.
Starting point is 00:28:33 Right. Who is massive. Wait, does David, does he not have an arm? No, he's got an arm. He's got an arm. Venus de Milo is the one that has no arms. Yes, he does. What arm. He's got an arm. Venus de Milo is the one that has no arms. Yes, he does. What about the...
Starting point is 00:28:48 Oh, man. He's very in shape. There's a statue of unity in India that's the largest, and there's three bigger than Statue of Liberty. Wait, what? Yeah, there's three bigger humanoids. The motherland calls in Russia has a sword. That seems like the most dangerous one.
Starting point is 00:29:05 What? Now, what about the Mount Rushmore? They're not very mobile, even if they come to life. What, are they going to roll at you? No, but what are you going to do to that? I mean, they just eat you as you try to get near them. They eat you? They can't catch you.
Starting point is 00:29:20 What about the Sphinx? No nose. Oh, dude, what are we talking about? Abe Lincoln. Oh. I mean, he, what are we talking about? Abe Lincoln. Oh. I mean, he's a scrappy, lanky fighter. Yeah. He was a wrestler for real?
Starting point is 00:29:31 Yes. For the Washington, D.C. one? Yeah, exactly. He'd get up out that chair, and now he'd have a giant chair he could swing around like a wrestler. Oh. Abe Lincoln's statue is, if he was was standing which they've figured out he would be 28 feet tall that's devastating
Starting point is 00:29:50 and he'd be wearing clothes so there'd be that that would be helpful we're moving on Rhonda from the website in the book about your life what is the name of the chapter you are currently in what is the name of the chapter you are currently in? What is the name of the previous chapter?
Starting point is 00:30:09 That I'm in right now? Yeah, what's the name of the chapter you're in right now, and what's the name of the previous chapter? I want to know what the next chapter is going to be called. That's not the question, Jason. No, I'm just following up and saying that's what I'm curious about. Okay. Yeah, the previous chapter would be called Sleepless in Parentville.
Starting point is 00:30:29 Okay. How long is a chapter of your life? That's a good question. That is. I think that needs to be defined. Five years? It's funny because when I look at- I guess that wouldn't be the-
Starting point is 00:30:40 Yeah. When I think about the chapters of my life, if I were to just say- How long are you going to live? Then I'll answer that question. If I was just going to say, think about and section up the different chapters in my life, they're probably way bigger than five years. You know what I mean? We've been doing this business for six, seven years.
Starting point is 00:30:57 Have I mentioned I run a business yet? Yes, seriously. And then before that, we worked together for eight years. In a business. I feel like those are different. In a business. I'm an entrepreneur. Okay, my apologies for describing my life on the question of my life. But those are like completely different chapters.
Starting point is 00:31:16 And so if you were to say five years, every five years, I don't know that that's a new, like, are things that different? Well, I mean, it'd be like a year when you were, as as a kid through about 18 a chapter feels like it'd be every two years that's fair because you got getting a job getting your driver's license graduating from high school getting a girlfriend you know whatever the case may be so the chapters just get longer the chapters get longer the older you get it's like the harry potter books they're really short at first and then the last books are huge do they get shorter at the end do the chapters get smaller and smaller like like a bell curve type of a thing right exactly yeah maybe you know like that's when it's like these are this was the dentures chapter right
Starting point is 00:31:56 the bifocal chapter is that the one you're in right now yeah progressive there I'm not quite to bifocals yet that's that's what the name of my next chapter is. Mike, what's the... My next chapter is going to be called My New Business. I feel like... So I was going to say the beginning of our run as the footballers would probably be the chapter,
Starting point is 00:32:22 but I feel like there's at least... The one you're in now? Yeah. So we're still at the beginning. Nice. No, because I think we're in the second chapter of it. Of that? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:31 So the previous chapter, so the beginning of the podcast and all that stuff, I think you could title that... Because that's like job transition. Yeah, but we're making the podcast now, and people are like, but what do you do for a living? Okay.
Starting point is 00:32:50 I think that's the name of my chapter. What do you do for a living? No, it's but what do you do for a living? But how do you make money? I feel like, you know, popular, you know, sometimes you come up with like popular phrases or famous quotes or something that can be a chapter title. I'm going to go can be a chapter title. I'm going to go with my last chapter title, the beginning of the footballers.
Starting point is 00:33:15 No, I'm going to go with Young, Scrappy, and Hungry as the previous. That's a good title. And now it's Old, Fed, and Full. Old, Fed, and Full is the current chapter. Okay. You're not just fed. You're full. That's right. and full is the current chapter. Okay. You're not just fed. You're full. That's right. All right.
Starting point is 00:33:27 Will from Twitter. What is the difference between a house, a home, and a mansion? Is it features? Is it size? Is it both? Help. And this is one of our strengths. We know the difference between things.
Starting point is 00:33:39 Yeah. I mean, well, a home doesn't have a staff, you know? Well, a mansion doesn't have to have a staff. You can have a mansion without a staff? 100%. You can. Yeah. You can. But you know what you can't have a home doesn't have a staff, you know. Well, a mansion doesn't have to have a staff. You can have a mansion without a staff? 100%. You can, yeah. You can, but you know what you can't have a home without? A heart.
Starting point is 00:33:50 A heart. Okay. So a home, unless your heart, in which metaphorically. You mean a physical heart? It could be physical as well. Once someone's heart resides in that house. But what does that mean? Like, that means your heart's in a box somewhere in this house.
Starting point is 00:34:07 Oh. So you have to literally have it outside of your body? Or somebody else's heart. Yeah. Oh, okay. That's easier. See, I don't think this is the real difference. What do you think the real difference is?
Starting point is 00:34:20 I mean, I think the generic answer is that the home is a place that's, like, of warmth and, like, it's, like, you know how people move into a new place and then they go, it just doesn't feel like home yet. Yeah. What makes it feel like home? But is it time? But, but they say you can never go home. Is that a thing?
Starting point is 00:34:39 Yeah. You can never go home. That's what they say to prisoners. Right. On death row. Sorry, sir. No, remember, that's an actual saying is you can never go home? That's what they say to prisoners. Right, on death row. Sorry, sir. But remember. That's an actual saying.
Starting point is 00:34:48 You can never go home. You can never go home, which is implying of like you grow up, you have all these nostalgic feelings tied to the place where you grew up, and once you leave and you come back, it's the same place, but it's not. I feel like this is really all about love. A house is where you live that you don't like. A home is where you move in that you love. And a mansion is when you move in and everyone else hates you.
Starting point is 00:35:15 This is all about love. Love and hate. That's my barometer. Now, I know, Mike, your parents still live in the house you grew up in. Yes. Now, Jason, your parents don't live in the house you grew up in. No, we moved around a lot. Always around the same area, not like around the country or globe. But we had several homes growing up.
Starting point is 00:35:36 So if I said what's your childhood home, would you even have one? Oh, yeah, for sure, without a doubt. And, Mike, when you go back to your parents' house, does that home nostalgia take over? Do you ever have like a, like, what is your room? What is your childhood room now? Is now my father's gym. Oh, okay. They have a, no, it's straight. Cause they've been there for, you know, it's a long time, like 30 years or so. We moved into that home when I was in first grade and I'm nearly 40 now. So whatever the math is on, it's gotta be at least 30 years or so. We moved into that home when I was in first grade, and I'm nearly 40 now,
Starting point is 00:36:06 so whatever the math is, it's got to be at least 30 years. And they have since upgraded things, and they decide – this is my parents. Once both me and my sister have moved out of the home, they're like, you know what we should do? Let's redo the backyard. Let's put a pool in. Let's make it amazing. And I'm like, what?
Starting point is 00:36:25 What are you doing? You didn't have that pool growing up? No, I did not have that pool when I was growing up. For your whole childhood you had no pool? They made it for themselves? They're selfish. Oh man. Selfish monsters. MC nesting pool. How long until they converted both of your rooms to something useful
Starting point is 00:36:41 for themselves? Don't come back. After I called them selfish monsters, I did have to something useful for themselves? Well. Like, don't come back. After I called them selfish monsters, I did have to move back in with my parents. Got to use that pool. And the pool was there. I tricked them good. No good. I'm out of here.
Starting point is 00:37:03 But when I moved back in, then I was in the sewing room because my room had already been overtaken. Oh, really? So they did not wait around. So the answer to when did my room get converted was very rapidly. As he was packing, they had the tape measure out. They were measuring for furniture. I moved out for three hours. Already had a pool table in there. All right.
Starting point is 00:37:18 I think we nailed that one. Can a mansion ever become a home? Yes home yes certainly but you have to have a second you have to be raised in it no okay no all right but yeah but second story that's my if you have to have a second story for a mansion yeah interesting that's my rule and at least at least eight visible windows from the front oh eight yes okay at least but you don't need a staff no why brooks do you have a staff at your mansion yes okay yeah you do need a staff but he's in a castle we really sure he's more of a council.

Starting point is 00:39:37 I promise you will not be disappointed. Kalo.com slash ballers. The Spitballers Draft. All right. Well, we are drafting the best space movies. There are a lot of them. And Jason gets the very first pick. Lucky you.
Starting point is 00:40:12 Now, I know that Jason is in a bit of a position here. He has the very first pick in the draft. I know that his heart is in war. Yeah. Because he could win the draft. He thinks there are picks that make him more. You have a pick that's so strong, you think you can win with it? Well, there are picks that are more poll heavy. Yeah, so here's the reality for me.
Starting point is 00:40:30 And then there's being integrity. I love space movies. I really, really love sci-fi. Sci-fi action space movies, that's my jam. When I'm allowed to just watch a movie by myself, that's what I'm always looking for first that's my go-to that's my primary um so there's a lot of things I love but I think a lot of the movies that I love are going to be more me specific I know there's one Mike we already
Starting point is 00:40:57 talked about it that I I'm doubting it comes back to me it's excellent but there's a lot of those type of movies so I feel like to play the game here I need to go with another movie that I do love that would never ever get back to me and it is also a great poll winner because I'm taking Star Wars this is space movies um which one yeah I knew you guys there are a lot of there there are um I assume we're not going to be able to draft multiple Star Wars movies right right? You can feel free. Well, you can feel free. I'm grabbing one.
Starting point is 00:41:26 Oh, I can? I'll take all of them. No, no. But one at a time. I'm going to go Empire Strikes Back. Dang it. I would say that that's the... I was hoping that would sneak from my first pick.
Starting point is 00:41:36 So if I had taken a different one, you would have drafted Empire Strikes Back? Yeah. 1,000%. All right. Well, there you go. Well... Because that's... Yeah, that is the one.
Starting point is 00:41:44 There's a dirty secret about the Star Wars, the trilogy movies, and it's that I really like Star Wars. They're okay. Yeah, they're not all great. And, like, because I had gone and I did, like, a full rewatch with the kids, getting them introduced to it, and I remember texting my friends, like, as I'm rewatch with the kids, getting them introduced to it. And I remember texting my friends as I'm rewatching New Hope
Starting point is 00:42:08 going, oh no. Guys, are these movies bad? Like, what is happening here? Well, you're really ruining my ability to pick New Hope second. Because I think... It's definitely a poll winner. My point was simply like, once I got to Empire, it was, oh yeah, here
Starting point is 00:42:22 we go. We're back, baby. But yeah, go ahead. Draft New Hope. Well, it was, oh, yeah, here we go. Now I remember why it was. We're back, baby. But, yeah, go ahead. Draft New Hope. Well, I was about to. But the hard part is, yeah, I had New Hope and Empire Strikes Back on my list. And I was hoping you would take the first one. But there's – I did.
Starting point is 00:42:40 There's an – No, you took the second one. Well, sure. Chronologically. Do you know what episode number it is? Yeah, that five right all right just checking he's just he's always after you man i know i know um what fortnight over here yes i'm after him man that was like two years ago yeah you'll never live it down there is how good the movie is but there's also groundbreaking nature to a lot of space movies, things that had never been done.
Starting point is 00:43:05 Um, when you talk about sequels and you talk about, um, you know, some sequels are better than the first one, but the first one had a bigger cultural impact when it came out. So, but you put me in a tough position because I feel like I'm just chasing
Starting point is 00:43:20 star Wars. If I go with new hope here, you would be, but you're welcome to do it. Um, so I'm actually gonna, there are so many classics, but you're welcome to do it. So I'm actually going to, there are so many classics, but I'm going to take one that I'm just afraid I won't get later in the draft.
Starting point is 00:43:32 Maybe it doesn't belong here at number two, but I'm, I know what can come back to me, so I'm going to take Interstellar. I knew that one would not come. That's on my list, and I know it's like Mike's, if it's not his favorite. That's my my list, and I know it's like Mike's if it's not his favorite. That's my jam, man.
Starting point is 00:43:46 I know. And with you having two picks, I was just too concerned that you would take it with one of the two. And I know some of the other ones I like are going to get back to me. So Interstellar is a great choice. You made the correct choice. It's a great movie. It's so good. Interstellar is fabulous i have not left very many movies where it like it sticks with
Starting point is 00:44:07 you so strongly to the point of i bought a like the science of interstellar book and i had to i had to pre-order it bends your mind i had to wait for this thing because they like they as as much as we can because i mean mean, they're talking about really hypothetical stuff out there like black holes and things but they actually tried to get the science as accurate as possible as we know it right now. The movie is tremendous. Yeah, it is great. I haven't seen it in too long. Oh, fire. I need to
Starting point is 00:44:36 watch it again. Get ready to weep, my friend. It's a great movie. Alright, Mike, you are on the clock for two space movie picks. And I will just clean up after you. Yeah, I mean, there's not really a game to be played on this one. Maybe one pick in particular. So I'm just going to take movies that I love.
Starting point is 00:44:58 And since Empire did not make it to me, I'm going to start it off. We'll go with a quirky one, One that when I saw the preview, I said, what in the heck is this movie? And I'm a superhero guy. But Guardians of the Galaxy is the watchability of this movie. It's one of those. Might as well be Parks and Rec. You could just throw it on over and over and over and over. You can be flipping channels in Guardians, Popson. You're like, oh, we're an hour and a half in?
Starting point is 00:45:27 Great. We're 20 minutes in? Great. And the second movie wasn't anything like that. The first one, because the music's integrated, because of how fun the movie is, it's the definition of a fun, great space movie. The first one is superior for sure,
Starting point is 00:45:42 but I really enjoyed the second one. I can watch the second one over and over too. I did really like the second one, but the first one's better. Very, very excited for number three whenever that comes out in the next couple years. Are they bringing back like, was it James Gunn? I think so.
Starting point is 00:45:57 Whoever did the first one I think is coming back for the third. I believe so. I believe he's in there. So then with my second pick, I have no idea. I have no idea what's going to make it back and what will not um but now do i just hurt andy yeah i mean he got your interstellar i'm not that worried you're not that worried no i mean i i know what one you might be thinking yeah all right i won't i won't just a horror movie. I'm going to take a really impactful movie. Look, it's got one of the goats. It's got Mr. T. Hanks in there.
Starting point is 00:46:32 Oh, okay. I'm going to take Apollo 13, baby. I just assumed this would be Andy's pick at some point. It is on my list. It's a great movie. This thing, back when you, like, it's, I mean, the story is fantastic, but the fact that when you were a kid and you saw this, and they actually, they shot it in the vomit comet or whatever,
Starting point is 00:46:53 but so that when they're in space, they are actually not on strings, but they are essentially in zero gravity. When I was a kid, my little brain just was exploding as they tried to figure all this stuff out. So I'm taking Apollo 13. It was on the list. I'm going to go with the Empire Strikes Back choice here in the
Starting point is 00:47:15 series, but I'm going to take Aliens. Aliens. Interesting. Why would you take the second one? Because I think it was a little bit better. It follows the sequel. It had more action to I think it was a little bit better. It follows the sequel. It had more action to it. It had a little bit more development. I had Bill Paxton.
Starting point is 00:47:32 Yeah. Paul Reiser's in that one too, right? I think it's generally... Yeah, I think so. It's generally the more appreciated of the two. Most people have that as their favorite. I think I like it a little bit more. But again, it's like the whole thing of like, it was a
Starting point is 00:47:47 brand new concept with Alien, but then Aliens is a little bit more revered. In my head, I know a couple of differentiators like Bill Pax and stuff, but for the most part, those two movies are just one giant conglomeration. That's the sign of a great series, by the way. That's how Back to the Future used to be for me, too.
Starting point is 00:48:04 I couldn't remember where certain parts of certain movies were. Indiana Jones, even. Some of the great trilogies do that. That's what was so weird about Back to the Future 3. I can't keep one and two apart in my mind. But then it's like, or we'll go to
Starting point is 00:48:20 the Wild West! They wanted to make a Western, man. That's fine. they did it um all right i am on the clock uh i so i didn't put aliens on my list i knew that that would be like a super popular one i never got into it i just i i know i let me put it this way i think i've seen it like i'm pretty sure i've seen game over man game over but i don't know for sure that i have maybe that one was just a little too old for me and wasn't quite the Star Wars
Starting point is 00:48:48 popularity that made me rewatch it. Well it was fabulous. I did Prometheus when that came out. Went and saw that in the theater which we were like just talking about 3D movies but like Prometheus in 3D was actually a better experience. It was an experience
Starting point is 00:49:04 because they built it for 3D. But it's funny because that's like it's in the alien universe. But you go. So I watched that. It's like, man, I need to watch Alien. So I go back and I watch Alien and just the hilarity of the tech in Prometheus. And this movie takes place just after Alien. You're like, why is the tech running on an Atari?
Starting point is 00:49:34 It's very funny. Okay. Man, there are so many space sci-fi movies here that I love. I'm going to go... All right. The first one I'm going to go with is Total Recall because it is an absolute classic. I let it go back to you. I appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:49:50 We had talked about it earlier, whether or not it was a space movie. I hate to say it. I've never seen the movie. Oh, it's so good. Wait, that's the one. No, I watched it on a plane. You guys made me watch it. Yes.
Starting point is 00:50:00 Never mind. That's Schwarzenegger, right? Yes, it is. Oh, I have seen that movie. It is. It is. Total Recall is peak 1980s action was that 80s it had well it might have been like it might have been early 90s but you know like how when a decade is just transferring over I'm saying the 1990 on the dot oh okay of like it had the 80s vibes of there's just certain things that they did in 80s action movies,
Starting point is 00:50:29 specifically collateral damage of people who should not be involved in the fight at all. We don't do that anymore in action movies, but in the 80s, it didn't matter. All bystanders are in danger at all times. But that movie has always stuck with me. So many lines that come from that. So many thoughts. And it had an incredible ending. It was one of those movies that, like, that was like the first movie I watched where I was like, whoa.
Starting point is 00:50:57 At the end, I was like, what do I think the ending is? So what happened? What happened at the end of Total Recall to you? I think it was real. Okay. I think it was real. All. I think it was real. All right. That's a great movie.
Starting point is 00:51:07 The other one that I think this would come back to me. I don't think either of you would take it, but I will be crushed if either of you did. So I'm not going to allow it. I'm just going to take the one that I absolutely want. It's Serenity. I was going to be so upset at you because I'm not going to draft it, but if you didn't, Mr. Firefly, draft it. That's the movie from.
Starting point is 00:51:31 Yes. I was going to crush you if you didn't take it. Rightfully so, and I didn't even wait for last because I couldn't go without Serenity. That movie and that series, so unbelievably good. If you haven't watched Firefly, it it's a quick you would love it just watch it's super quick because it's only one how much is different from the the season and the movie it's actually incredible what they did they i thought it like bled together it kind of like they they mixed and matched like some of it was the same and some of it was completely
Starting point is 00:52:01 different even storylines of like what the main arc is like some of it was completely different. Even storylines of like what the main arc is. Like some of it was the same, but things were completely different. It was like a brand new story using what they liked from the show. So Jason has Star Wars Empire Strikes Back, Total Recall, and Serenity. Mike's got Guardians and Galaxy and Apollo 13. And I'm sitting here with Interstellar and Aliens. It's not bad. And just in case Mike gets the impulse to destroy me in his future picks,
Starting point is 00:52:27 I will take The Fifth Element. You talk about a movie, like you just said, like Guardians. Corbin. Corbin. Corbin, my man. Corbin Dills. Corbin. Corbin.
Starting point is 00:52:36 Corbin. Corbin. There are just something about Fifth Element fits the mold like Guardians does where you could watch it a thousand times and it's got enough to it. Big battle boom. Fifth Element. I just love that movie. The music is awesome.
Starting point is 00:52:53 The fight scenes are awesome. The settings, all of the costuming, it's great. But when I saw it in the theater, I was like, what? It didn't work work i did not get gary oldman is the bad guy and well like it's talked about a lot but whatever so we'll mention it on here but just how crazy it is that the protagonist protagonist and the antagonist never actually meet in the movie. They never meet. No.
Starting point is 00:53:25 There's like a brief moment where they almost catch each other in the hallway of the hotel spaceship. Oh, I remember that, yeah. But they never actually meet. That's incredibly cool. It's like this weird quirky story thing that they have. And it had so much like nuanced sci-fi stuff where like. It's a great universe.
Starting point is 00:53:43 Yeah. So I have to take it because it's a classic that I love and a great space movie. Yeah. It's fantastic. I like it. Final two picks for Mike. And I know what I'm going with.
Starting point is 00:53:55 I know what... There's one that's, like, a type of a poll winner, but I'm not going to draft it because I don't truly like it. But we're going to start off these back-to-back picks with uh we're gonna go with an animated movie my friends oh interesting okay we're going with wally yeah makes sense wally is a masterpiece from start to finish and you have a movie where i don't even know it's like the first 25 to 30 minutes of the of the movie doesn't even have dialogue they're just able to tell this story with this robot on the deserted earth before he eventually meets Eva and so there is dialogue in the movie
Starting point is 00:54:37 yes I think I quit about 30 minutes in it's like a museum to jason get out of here right you've seen wally i have seen the first 30 minutes of wally you are a clown a clown you haven't seen the whole of wally are you just are you doing a shtick for the for the show so are you really haven't seen wally i didn't want to bring this up but i don't you know i'm a man for the people here because this paints me in a very poor light to be the people in wall that part was great that part was fantastic um but no i was like i was super bored and i just assumed there's no words the whole movie so i went on did something else that is unbelievable looking for any of these picture shows i i get regular full movies nowadays oh man wally is a masterpiece. Wally is your pick Mike. It's all yours. The
Starting point is 00:55:26 story visually. It is incredible. And from one masterpiece of the animated genre and we're going right to another masterpiece of the comedic genre. Oh okay. We're taking space balls baby because it's one of my favorites and and I can watch Spaceballs over and over. Your shorts is as big as mine. This is one of those comedies where you can hit play, and I could probably recite 80% to 90%. I didn't realize you loved it that much. Oh, my gosh, man.
Starting point is 00:55:56 It's so good. That is peak Mel Brooks. Darth Helmet? Yeah. Or Dark Helmet. But it is peak Mel Brooks before the jokes start. Slapstick. Yeah, and I love slapstick.
Starting point is 00:56:07 But the later Mel Brooks, I mean, they're still very, very funny, but they're recycled jokes. You got used to it. Let's comb the desert. You remember that? Yeah, of course I remember. But that was before the jokes had started fully recycling themselves, and it was the first time you'd seen them.
Starting point is 00:56:26 Oh, my goodness. Spaceballs. And it still holds up. It's on my list. It's one of the best satires of all time. All right. Well, I'll keep it nice and boring. But look, this was going to be probably the first pick off for me before Jason stole Empire.
Starting point is 00:56:41 But I'll go New Hope. I'll take Star Wars and New Hope to close out my draft. It probably should be taken. I still think it's very, very close to Empire Strikes Back and that universe, those movies, so much better than those later ones that they came out with. At least the first three. I like...
Starting point is 00:56:58 Or I guess you'd call them, yeah, episode one, two, three. I like seven through nine. Seven through nine are much better. And I get that seven is just New Hope redone. Yeah. Don't care. It was awesome. It was awesome.
Starting point is 00:57:12 And then you have the big turn in the middle of the movie, which no one saw coming. It was fantastic. And then Rise of Skywalker is... That is an Empire's greatness type of a movie and i know that the end some people felt that way about the third no that people are you thinking phantom no no episode three yeah but people gave number two so much crap that they changed a bunch of stuff sure for number three and i get the ending for for well nine technically nine nine, and it's very unsatisfying at the end.
Starting point is 00:57:46 But I still find him enjoyable. All right, so Mike's final team, Guardians, Apollo 13, WALL-E, and Spaceballs. Jason has Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, Total Recall, Serenity, and one final pick. Then I'm with Interstellar Aliens, Fifth Element, and Star Wars A New Hope. Jason, close us out.
Starting point is 00:58:01 Oh, so many good options. I could go Galaxy Quest, which I do love. It's Tim Allen. Galaxy Quest. I just showed that to my kids. I actually genuinely love it. It's not going to make the cut. And then I'm really between two.
Starting point is 00:58:16 The other one that's not going to make the cut, which I love, is Stargate. That movie was phenomenal. It's not even on my list. No, I mean, it's not like a current, modern, popular movie by any means. I'm going to go with one that I think when this movie came out, I was like, that is an awful movie. Like, this was really not that great. Was it because you were too young for it?
Starting point is 00:58:40 I don't think I was too young. I think I was just kind of not watching it to just enjoy it. You know those movies where it's like... Okay. It's a popcorn, but you were expecting more? Yeah, I was expecting... I wanted some cinematic masterpiece, and so I was too snooty. Battlefield Earth?
Starting point is 00:58:55 Then I watched it. Oh, yes. Over and over and over. I've probably seen this movie 50 times because it's another one where if it's just on, I'll be like, you have my attention because you're just fun to watch, and it's Armageddon if it's just on i'll be like you have my attention because you're just fun to watch and it's armageddon baby okay right okay i mean that cast that it's just fun it's not a great movie i'm not up here standing on a soapbox being like armageddon's one of the greatest who made armageddon all time who made armageddon it's not it's not schumacher
Starting point is 00:59:22 uh because brockheimer was it was it a michael bay michael bay okay that's yeah yeah slow-mo Who made Armageddon? It's not Schumacher. Brockheimer? Was it Brockheimer? Michael Bay. Okay, that's – yeah, yeah. Slow-mo. Slow-mo. Well, it's slow-mo. Like, everything is insane. Melodramatic.
Starting point is 00:59:33 Everything is – like, you have just quick cuts all over the place. Like, hold on, Michael. Oh, Brockheimer too, yeah. Should we slow down and have more story? There's no time. There's no time. We must get to the next scene. That was Brockheimer and Michael Bay.
Starting point is 00:59:46 Directed by Michael Bay, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. You know what you get when that happens? You get Armageddon. You do. Just... Alright, well, a couple that didn't make the cut that were close. You could have gone Alien, the first one. Alien was on my list. Gravity is a great movie.
Starting point is 01:00:01 It's very solid. I thought that was outstanding. It was overrated. It might have been overrated. And then Arrival. Did you guys see Arrival? With Charlie Sheen? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. The more recent one with-
Starting point is 01:00:14 Did they remake it? I think I did see Arrival. No, with Amy Adams. Amy Adams. Yeah, that movie's outstanding. I did see that one. You have not seen Arrival. It was like Contact to me.
Starting point is 01:00:24 It's 94% Rotten Tomatoes. You should check it out. Okay. Did you guys like Contact? No. Oh, no. I understand why you're comparing those two. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:33 That makes perfect sense. Contact was a little too... You could have said that about Interstellar. Some people might not have liked Interstellar for the same reason. Right. Overcomplicated, a little long. But at least in Interstellar, they didn't have everything building up
Starting point is 01:00:47 to this particular climax. And then the machine they spent the whole movie... Not delivered. It gets destroyed. They're like, don't worry. We've secretly been building a second one that you had no idea we were doing. That is garbage.
Starting point is 01:01:01 Yeah. That is absolute garbage. On my list... Have you guys ever seen Sunshine? I never saw that. Sunshine is like one of these indie movies that is very, very legit. The movie I was referencing that's like a poll winner, 2001, Space Odyssey. You know what?
Starting point is 01:01:17 I finally watched that for the first time. Brooks had recommended it when I was sick. Oh, wait. I recommended Close Encounters at the third time. That's the one. Oh, okay. I always confuse those two. Sorry. Close Encounters is the one I watched, when I was sick. Oh, wait. I recommended Close Encounters at the third time. That's the one. Oh, okay. I always confuse those two. Sorry.
Starting point is 01:01:27 Close Encounters is the one I watched, and it was good. I feel like Brooks is more of a hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy type of guy. Which, you know what's better? The book. Oh, come on. But then to close on my list, Independence Day is on here. Oh, wow. Just in case. I, Independence Day is on here. Oh, wow. Just in, just in case.
Starting point is 01:01:45 That's like, I guess Independence Day would count. So I didn't put Independence Day on mine because. Because they're fighting on Earth. It wasn't really a space movie, even though it dealt with aliens. And I'm, if you had drafted it, totally allowed, but it was off mine for that reason. And then, uh. Armageddon wasn't really a space movie either. They really are traveling and working in space.
Starting point is 01:02:03 Well, in, in Independence independence day they fly up to the mothership but a lot of a lot of armageddon takes place in space more than okay maybe a little and then my my final shout out uh much like sunshine another independent movie if you have not seen it i fully recommend moon yeah that's another you recommend that before i have not seen it looked a little creepy It is, that's the whole point It's very bizarre Do you guys remember Red Planet with Val Kilmer?
Starting point is 01:02:29 Oh my goodness, yeah The robot goes crazy Why don't you guys take the Martian? Yeah, I mean It was alright Mars is cool I do like Mars, I love a good Mars story Nah, damn
Starting point is 01:02:42 Ghost of Mars? What did we learn today? That Jason hasn't seen WALL-E, and it's ridiculous. I've seen some of it. I learned that the statue of David is very big. Don't stop this again. You ruined mine. I was going to say, David's not the biggest compared to all the others out there.
Starting point is 01:03:04 Abe Lincoln. Abe Lincoln's taller statue. A much taller statue. Never know what this show's going to bring your way. Thanks for listening. Staying with us. Goodbye. There'll be another episode soon.
