What happens when three buffoons give life advice, explore unrealistic situations, and give random topics more thought than they probably deserve? It's the Spitballers Podcast with Andy, Mike, and Jason. The thermometer maxed out. That was so bad. I didn't mind it. It was different, and we needed a little bit of different. I had no volume.

I didn't realize when I go that low, I lose all force. Yeah, you don't have force down there. Not singing in the baritone section, Andy? I guess not. No Barry White. No. I'm dreaming. Very nice. Welcome into the Spitballers.

Would you rather man of the people back today? And then we are drafting things that are blue. We are drafting things that are blue. This will be the best or the worst. It'll be a good time. I'm drafting Andy's spirit today. Nice. I am not blue, Jason.

Oh, that's great. That's great. I am. Yellow? No, not yellow. Nobody. And red is angry, right? Oh, yeah.

Oh, for sure. Green is jealous. Or disgust. So green is jealous or disgust yellow is is uh cowardly yep yes so uh is that all the colors blue is sad yeah blue is sad now like in in your head right when you picture a chicken so far so good what color do that what color are the feathers of that brown chicken my white chicken my chickens are white right both are acceptable answers but why is it that we like yellow and chicken mean the same mean the same thing when a chicken is not yellow yes that they're the beaks are yellow okay okay there is a uh a tiny tiny portion of the chicken that is sort of really cowardly i mean maybe the the color and the chicken those aren't necessarily together right yeah no i don't

think yellow doesn't come into when you call someone yellow you're calling them a chicken no i think you're just calling them cowardly when you call someone chicken you're calling them cowardly when you call someone yellow you're calling them cowardly. When you call someone yellow, you're calling them cowardly. I don't think you're, even though those both can be used as synonyms, one is not referring to the chicken. 100%. 100%. Yeah. Oh, no, baby chickens are yellow.

No, that's true, too. Yeah, baby chicks. And they are so cowardly. Yeah, they won't do nothing. I forgot about the peeps. They won't cross the road. Peeps, that's what it's referring to. Welcome in.

People are just shouting, the baby chickens are yellow. That's probably true. Let's get it going. Would you rather? Al Borland is normally black because of his soul slash clothing. Yes. But today, he's going to do a presentation for a timeshare. I'm blue.

He's got a nice blue polo. Very professional. Oh, man. Are we doing his year-end review today? Yeah. Why are you in a polo? Yeah. What is happening?

And more so, why are you all the way buttoned up in the polo? Oh, yeah. That's a medium. That's a fair question. That extra button there. And why is your hat backwards while you're wearing a polo? Whoa, buddy. You can't party in a polo.

There you go. We're fixing him right now. Why are you here, Al? All right. Yeah. Why you got all that arm hair? I don't know. Okay. Yeah, I'm done. I'm done attacking you. hair? I don't know. Okay.

Yeah, I've had- I'm done attacking you. No, I've had a little bit of a- I don't know what to do. A growth spurt in your arm hair? Like, I've been- I got pretty hairy arms. Are you going full wolf?

No, but I mean, what do you do in life? You sit back and you relax and wait, because that thing's headed a certain direction, my friend. Well, I'm just saying it is- Yeah, no, that's going up your arm, and that's going right to your back. Well, see, I'm already at the part where when I shave my neck, I slide over and grab a little bit of the back. Yeah.

Does anyone in this room have the hairy back? I've got a hairy back. Do you? Well, not like. Do you maintain it? I try to maintain it. Yeah, it's more neck. What is that?

I guess it's not so much, but it's like top of the back a little bit. Upper back. Top of the back to you. Top of the back. That's what I heard. Top of the back to you. It's almost better to fully commit. How's your hairy mornings?

It's almost better to like have a fully, like having speckles of back hair is even more... Like the hair sweater? Yeah, exactly. Like my hair, it looks worse on my back because it's just like at the top versus someone that's got that full back hair yeah insulating just a thick mane yeah yeah they're like really into this yeah they bought that at macy's put that on not not for you al you're not really thick back there no not too bad okay top of the back little top of the back to you.

Top of the back. James from Patreon, would you rather live in a world where no one but you understood sarcasm or live in a world where everyone was sarcastic all of the time? Oh, man. I feel like we did this one, but we must not have. Oh, did we? I don't know, but I- I probably just read it and didn't ask it one time if i it was in last

week's doc i don't i don't think my fault my fault if if i lived in a world where no one understood sarcasm i would be the world's biggest jerk yeah like that i mean there's not a person alive who would even remotely be willing to be near me because yeah i'm just sarcastic all the time my kids like when when i had young children you know three four years old they learned real quick what sarcasm was daddy doesn't actually hate you um but then they could they bring their friends over and i'll say something. And in fact, I think the best example is actually owls kid. Uh, your young child,

it was, there was a, a switch that finally went off after about six months of him being around us. It was like, that's a joke, right? Like I know this was a joke. And then he liked us.

This is a world where people do understand sarcasm and sarcasm can still make you into a jerk. Like there are people that don't have a taste for it at all. Or, you know, you know how it goes. You're sarcastic and then you can be like that way too much. Yes. And then and then I like I've had people I can still remember being in high school. And I used to run the newspaper because that was a big thing. Were you like the editor? I was editor-in-chief yeah what and uh i was actually co-editor-in-chiefs

with another guy and we both you weren't you weren't the much no you're right and we both were really sarcastic with the writing staff and we thought we were hilarious and then usually sarcastic people think they are. And they do. And then unfortunately, we had to have a little heart to heart. Then you went to the complaint box. It was overflowing. It was overflowing with the level of sarcasm

that we were delivering that we thought was an incredible management style. Yeah. But we had to fix that. So I'm just saying, this is a world where you already- But did you fix it? We tried.

Okay. All right. That's impressive. In front of them, we tried. Yeah. Now, the alternative, living in a world where everyone is sarcastic all the time. The first one sounds really, really bad to me because I am very sarcastic. My family is very sarcastic.

But the second, where everyone is sarcastic. That is anarchy. That is an unlivable life. There's no way to communicate. No, we talk to our kids like, you can't always be sarcastic. You just can't always. You come off as a jerk. If you're just always sarcastic, you have to know when to use sarcasm and when to not.

Tasteful sarcasm. Thank you. You when to use sarcasm and when to not. Tasteful sarcasm. Thank you. You got to use it when it's not expected. If it's expected, one, it's not funny, and two, you're a jerk. And it's delivery, too. You might not be made for sarcasm. If you can't deliver it in a good way, then you're just accidentally saying mean things with no inflection, right? Yeah. Nice tie. Mm-hmm. No. Nice tie? I don't know. true then you're just accidentally saying mean things with no inflection right yeah nice tie

no nice tie that's what you went to that is what i went to you were you were a part of that just now welcome in the history of this office no one has ever come in here with a tie on well maybe al with that polo oh yeah he's on his way next week starts dressing up yeah I think we all agree on this Steve from the website would you rather know every fact in the encyclopedia or know every word in the dictionary so I expect that there's

some crossover for both let me ask a question to set us up and you guys give your answer let's pretend you're the person that knows every word in the dictionary. So you have a wonderful assortment of choices when you're speaking, right? Yeah. Every synonym you could ever have for every sentence and word. Well, this is a thesaurus.

This is not a dictionary. Same difference. If you know the dictionary, you know all the words. Yeah, for sure so you can use a bunch of words that people don't know to describe things about you know with words that they do know right now what is the advantage of that is it is it a pleasurable thing to explain to people how smart you are all the time is that a pleasurable thing i don't think it is about explaining the words you

use you don't want to explain them you want to simply gloss over the natural use of these words so that people go wow that dude's smart i don't even know what he said and you don't explain it if you explain it now you're you're kind of mean-spirited or hoity-toity so you'll just say like hey i had a busy day at work i was being very fastidious and completed all right and then you just move on from that conversation my vocab is just grand look went yes it is yeah yes it is great definitely stumble over it now are you able to pronounce the words that you know or is this example for mike you're like we we gotta we gotta work through it um live the i mean this really is just about having a good vocabulary i'd rather have the

facts man of course we'd rather have the facts because back roads are fun i am just fine with my current vocabulary i don't pretend that i have you have the world's best vocabulary. I'm not illiterate, but I've just got a normal- Those are the only two. Yep, that's it. You listening at home, you and me, we probably have about the same vocabulary. Wherever you are at, we probably are near each other, and it is just fine. I live my life just fine. Those people have the calendar.

The daily- Yeah, learn a new word every day. And still we're near each other. I just don't think there's a huge advantage. Ironically, the facts are like this sarcasm. You got to know when to drop those in because if you become the guy that always says the actually. Yeah. Or the little known fact.

Little known fact. Like if I were to say, you know, when you call somebody yellow, this word originally applies to birds that literally have a yellow belly, like the yellow-bellied sapsucker. From there it came to mean an insult for cowards. Would that have been informative or obnoxious? I liked it, actually. I actually learned a lot there. Yeah, so yellow is the belly.

Yeah. The yellow belly. Yellow belly. And belly yeah the yellow belly yellow belly and it's the yellow belly of of what specifically uh birds that have a yellow belly so like like the yellow bellied sap sucker but it has nothing to do with a chicken keep that in mind a sap sucker is a bird yellow belly that's another thing you'd say right yeah you yellow-bellied yeah absolutely I'm calling you guys repeating yourself that looks like a looks like a woodpecker oh like a yellow belly yellow belly yeah that's good we need to get back to old school insults man I do those were the those are the ones that brought about the gunfights. Yeah, like Norm MacDonald.

No good. His whole shtick is using old-timey language. Conan O'Brien does a lot, too. I find it sensational. Yeah, we need to get back into that. Was it all bird-related? What's a cod swallow? Look, when you had no technology, you're out there bird-watching.

You're just looking around for insults? Why're why you're a yellow-bellied no saying you're entertaining fish everything revolved around watching birds oh that's what the world used to do yes and so you just you you got your terminology you got your enjoyment your insults it's all from birds you yellow belly that's why i mean there's bird compliments there's bird insults what are the bird it's the word yeah birds the word yeah haven't you heard i have heard that i'm looking at some old-timey insults here and one of the first things i see is chicken hearted oh that can't be good it's all bird related cowardly again so there were a lot of cowardly people back in the day i mean there were only a few core insults. It was either they were cowardly or probably weak.

Yeah, or like of ill repute. Oh, we've got an eagle eye. Eagle eye? That's a compliment. Yeah. I was trying to find the compliments in there. They're all bird related. All right, we're going with the fact one.

Yeah, I want to know everything. Spencer from the website, would you rather freeze to death in a blizzard or die of dehydration lost in a desert? Okay. Well, we're hitting hard here. Yeah, this is a tough question. Freezing to death is going to be my choice. Yeah, for sure. Because I think you go to sleep.

You do. But before that point. I think you probably go to sleep the other way, too. The death either way. Yeah, you're going to get a long. Real tuckered out. But if you are freezing to death, there is definitely a span where, like, think of the coldest you've ever been,

where it's painful, you can't move your jaw is just going clickety-clack and you there's nothing you could do to stop it and realize that it's not cold comparatively to freezing to death yeah hold. What did you find? I mean, I Googled old timey insults. Oh, here we go. And Poppin J is one of the top ones. I told you, man. Which means you're vain. If you're a Poppin J, you're vain. Really?

It all comes back to the birds. This is incredible. For the birds. There's another phrase. Oh, my gosh. That's another one. Wow. Sorry. Sorry.. Oh, my gosh. That's another one. Wow. Sorry.

Sorry. You were speaking about something. Just say how cold. To be at that point where you're staring Jack Frost in the face and you're about to. You're numb, though. You're numb. Eventually, but not immediately. But are you out of your mind before you're in pain?

No. Definitely not. No. You're going you're in pain? No, definitely not. No, you're going to be in pain freezing. You're definitely in pain for a while. You're probably out of your mind more in the dehydration, in the desert, as far as just completely hallucinating, and maybe at that point you don't even realize what's going on. I want to be found in intact yeah perfectly preserved like a woolly mammoth and maybe someone will bring me back to life later honestly that was

the loophole of this question from the get-go the get-go is one of these i still have the belief that someone can bring me back uh i have been uh cryogenically frozen in this blizzard but it's not cryo frozen you're just regular frozen they'll figure. But it's not cryo-frozen. You're just regular frozen. They'll figure it out. It's not cold enough. Hold on. Rewind. Are you telling me that there's a specific type of extra cold?

I believe so. So, man, we learn a lot on this podcast. Not necessarily. Man, I learn nothing on this podcast. I think that there is a temperature which will kill you, but then when they're doing the cryo-freezing, it's even colder because it has to be a certain temperature to preserve. Are you sure about that?

Frozen's frozen, bro. No, I'm not frozen. I'm not sure about that. I'm not positive about it. I think if you're frozen, they find the woolly mammoths in the ice. They get preserved. Theyoths in the ice. I mean, they get preserved. But they're in the ice. They're not on.

Like, if you just get frozen on the top, I mean, something very specific had to have happened. If I get frozen in Antarctica, it's not defrosting me anytime soon. I don't think it's cold enough, though. Yes, it's cold enough. I don't think so. You're telling me that if I got frozen in the exact South Pole, that in 100 years you don't find me fully intact?

They find people on Everest all the time, their whole bodies. I think you're going to be intact, but I am actually doing a lot of research over here. You rare, white-throated wood creeper. Mike seems like he might be right here. Obviously, you can be frozen and kept more intact when you're in the cold, but whether you can bring me back or not. Oh, that was Andy Holloway. Right.

Look at that frozen guy. If only he were more frozen, he could be is. Cryonics is the low temperature freezing, and it says usually at negative 196 degrees Celsiuselsius oh that's cold that's that's real cold that's not gonna be your run of the mill i'm uh in a blizzard cold right what's a blizzard south south pole is around negative 60 celsius okay well okay this is negative i think it's preserving me this is a negative 196 degrees Celsius. Maybe I'll lose my fingerprints, you crimson-backed sunbird. All I care about is my brain.

I don't need my fingerprints. I need you to be able to put my brain in something, put it in that machine over there, and say, start her up. Start it up. That's how they do it, too. That is, yeah. Are you making the financial cryo commitment uh no thank you no no i what about just the head because sometimes it's

cheaper to do just the head people do that oh that's why i would choose just the head i mean why would i spend i want that's a good point yeah you'd you'd upgrade the deluxe model on the way back absolutely i mean i i hope to give you like it should be random draw on the body on the way out if you don't pay up it should cost more to have just the head because if you are doing the whole body that means when you come back you're gonna have this whole body and it's like i want to be gone long enough where you can bring me back and put me in an upgraded model it should be like a hundred thousand to save the head and 10,000 to save the body. So some people just save the body, no head. And then they put them together.

I will be someone else's body. I won't know it. Or would you know it? I don't know. I don't know. No, you wouldn't. Okay. I still think I want the blizzard. I still think you want the blizzard ice still think you want the blizzard nice thank you i mean

that's probably the way to go because eventually you do you get the sleepy like when you are dehydrating out of existence like what what exactly happens i mean like it's just you your organs start stopping and yeah i mean there's a lot of gasping i know that i know i have like read about the process of dying from dehydration you turn into like jerky it is well you're i mean that is the other thing so the the actual dying process much worse than dehydration it is a uh an excruciating awful awful death, whereas freezing to death, you're going to end up going to sleep first. But what happens to the skin? Both are kind of burning and feel uncomfortable.

But if you're out in a desert dying of dehydration, you're literally just burning. I mean, that sounds awful. I know what it's like to be in the Arizona sun for 10 minutes. And if I'm out there until death do us part, goodness gracious. I mean, sunburns are not fun, you know? Yeah. And for sunburn reasons, I'm going to die in the blizzard. Yeah, you like being cold more than hot.

I do. So if you're going to die one of those ways, die in your element. Absolutely. Mike, final answer? Yeah, I'll take the blizzard.. I do. So if you're going to die one of those ways, die in your element. Absolutely. Mike, final answer? Yeah, I'll take the blizzard. Wow, we're all in agreement here. We got time for another one, Al? Yeah, let's do one more.

Which one should I do? I haven't read them yet. Let's go with the third one, or the fourth one, I'm sure. Oh, man. Valerie, which speech limitation would you rather have never ask questions only make statements never make statements only ask questions what do you think thoughts the personality kind of i feel like mike's gonna never ask questions only make statements because asking questions necessitates someone else talking. You know what I mean?

That means you can't say, I don't want to talk to you. Is that a statement? Can you please leave versus please leave? Oh, that's a kind way. Yeah, I think there's ways to get around it. If you never ask questions, you can never learn anything, right? I don't. Unless you say, tell me the definition of that word.

No, I mean, the way that you say things, you have like, this is a cup. And then the person will go, well, no, that's not, if they needed to be corrected. You're saying if it wasn't a cup. Yeah, you could make statements that then can then be corrected. Or you could say them in a way that saying, I'm not exactly sure. My confidence level in this statement is not enough to be in the form of a question. So you're getting around the questions by basically making incorrect statements or.

Yes. So if someone you know is ill and you would usually say hey how you feeling you say you feel well and then they go no i i actually am really sick oh okay tell me about that oh you have the flu and then they say no no you can't right you can say you have the flu yeah that's yeah but and then they'll say no i don, you can't. Right? You can say you have the flu. Yeah, that's a statement. And then they'll say, no. I don't know. I clearly have sunburn.

But the confidence meter in your voice was more of a question. I was trying to figure out if you were pulled over by a police officer and you were trying to determine what you did wrong, how you would do it. Okay, let's go. License and registration. Yeah. Okay. Do you know why I pulled you over?

No. You were speeding. You lost. You lost copper. He's supposed to be trying to figure it out. Yeah, but honestly, I was trying to not make it easy on him, but the next words out of my mouth were the answer to my own question. So it actually worked. so it actually perfect world it worked really really well because i was gonna tell him what

he did wrong but he took off yeah i gotta wait for you you gotta wait no i'm hopping in my topper and we're going not not in this world of statements the cop was so confused just like you got me see you later he asked no questions he must be innocent i mean that now do the the other direction of you can only ask questions but you've been pulled over what was i doing you're gonna lead to you're gonna be in some trouble yeah you're gonna be like license and registration you're like do you know why i pulled you over? Why did you pull me over? You were speeding. Why was I speeding? Why do you think I was speeding?

I was speeding? Yes, you were speeding. Are you going to give me a ticket? There was an old improv game where you could only talk in questions. Oh, really? It was very hard. That seems very difficult. But it got very funny.

I think it would be a a fun way to live but now imagine we're single and we've got to go to the dating scene okay you have to be able to ask questions congrats dating scene i mean right no i mean it's a big deal uh ring the bell but you can only ask questions but yeah wouldn't you rather be are you doing questions on a date than only say statements? Like learn about someone else versus just like tell them what's up. You're just telling. Oh, I've got a degree.

I'm six foot two. But you would also be making statements about the other person. You look nice tonight. But you'd sound like a clown yeah like a no-no all right let's move on man of the people i'm still not sure I like this game yet. Oh, I love this game. Depending on whether I win. I like it when my buzzer works. It's got fresh batteries in there for you.

You did pretty well with your buzzer not working last time. Three points for the first answer, two for the second, one for any other correct answer. That is correct. Seven rounds. Last round is worth double the points. All right, Al. All right, here we go.

Name a fear parents have for their child when they move out of the points. All right, Al. All right, here we go. Name a fear parents have for their child when they move out of the house. Dying. Mine's green. I went first. That is the number three answer. Oh, come on. Dying.

All right, keep an eye on your buzzers. Drugs, alcohol. That is the number two answer. Oh, baby. The number one's still out there for you, Andy. Make sure you buzz in, Beau. I buzzed in. All right, Andy.

Three, two. Why'd you buzz in? One. Accident. Safety is the number four answer, so we'll give you one point for that number one answer was finances uh I've yeah and then coming back home

was the number one their finances than them living come on it's just what they worry about the most oh worry about okay that makes sense not a lot of people the second they move out drop dead well no I'm just I was putting myself in that situation i know for sure you'd be worried about them dying 100 percent and my kids moved

away for college you know i went i went to uh u of a if my kids uh go to u of a a couple hours away um that'd be my worry they might be dead just like they're like i don't care if they're financially like go waste your money whatever i don't want you to be more responsible yada yada but i don't like i care if they die like if they're out and make a mistake and end up in you know you said like an accident that's my worry that was why that was my pick is i would actually be like my my son he's turning 14 okay he's that close to driving like i'm much more afraid of him driving than i am of him moving out the problem with the world is like why i'm concerned about their tell us is because we have cell phones and when

i call some yes i call people and it's like because texting can take forever whatever but I call people like my wife and if she doesn't answer and it goes to voicemail I assume that my wife has died right so so once my children move out and they will certainly be ducking my calls oh yeah because we all duck calls from our parents from time to time. So it will be on a daily basis that I think that my children have passed away. That's funny. That's funny. Oh, man. That's so true.

I can't wait for this. This is about to happen. Nope. They're dead. All right. Round two. Kids, answer the phone when your parents call. Yeah.

All right. Round two. If a group of senior citizens formed a punk rock band, what might their songs gripe about? Being old? That is the number four answer. Oh, man. Keep an eye on those buttons.

Oh, I got in number two. I'm going to say their body pain. That's the number six answer. Oh, man. You suck at this game. And I will, once again, be last to the buzzer. Young people. That is the number one answer. Yeah.

Of course. The medicine and healthcare being number two. Yeah. There you go. I was going to go with my hip, but I thought that would be too specific. It was probably too specific. I can't wait to complain about the young people more i well the irony of i've already started if you have old people in a punk rock band complaining about the youths that's funny that would be quite the bit that's a pretty good question i've never heard one that nuanced go on

to uh round three so what was number three uh number three was dentures okay so you could have gotten specific apparently and uh five was fixed income yeah that's fair all right that granny on to round three name something a child might never do if they were not forced to uh I have buzzed in first. How are you so fast? I don't know, man. Cheating. I'm going to go with brush their teeth. That is the number one answer.

Yeah. My sons would never. Sorry, boys, but you would never brush your teeth. My daughter would. She does. She wakes up, she brushes her teeth. What? Even when they say they've brushed their teeth. I'm waiting on this buzzer.

They still have not brushed their teeth. No, they just wouldn't lie about it. I mean, it's so frustrating. Go ahead. Go ahead. Eat their vegetables. That is the number two answer. Oh, man.

Keep. You want to get on the board, though, Mike? I'm trying to entertain the people. No, I know. I was totally. I don't want to be last for the third straight time. Let's go clean their room. That is the number six answer.

Doesn't matter. Still worth the second. It's worth the point. Very good. Very good. Brush their teeth was definitely the one that came to mind. Brush their teeth. Eat their vegetables.

School and homework. Bathing. Yeah, that would have been my number two. Going to sleep and then cleaning their room. Just general hygiene. Can I just check in with you guys? Oh, yeah. Yeah, that would have been my number two. Going to sleep and then cleaning. Just general hygiene. Can I just check in with you guys? Oh, yeah, let's do it. If you remind your kids to do one of those things that we've said,

do your kids forget it in under 10 seconds? Oh, I can't remind them. I have to yell at them to do it, though. Reminder does not work. I would almost have to put chains around them and pull them into the bathroom to do... I asked them, take your vitamins. Okay.

They say okay. That's it. Fresh your teeth. Okay, I will. Liars. Did you have vitamins as a kid? Yeah. I had vitamins, and they were so awful.

Oh, but you had to take them? The Flintstones? No, these were not Flintstones. They were Supermans. They sound pretty good. They were not, though. They were terrible. And I would take the vitamin.

Because when you're young, you don't think things through all the way. And I had my dresser, basically, and I would throw the vitamin behind the dresser. No, you did not. Oh, yeah. Behind the dresser? Yeah. I'm sure that was never. In the drawer back behind.

Back behind. Ever found. How many vitamins were back there? A lot. And then come one day, it's, oh, hey, let's rearrange your room. Oh, no. Were you scared of the moment? Did you know?

You forgot, I'm sure. I had not put it two and two together on this one until it was, whoa, who put all those back there? Someone spilled a bottle. Oh, man. But they're all chewed up. Oh, man. There's rabbits down here, and they're full of vitamins.

Oh, that's funny. Healthy little rabbits. So I get it. When kids don't want to take the vitamins, I get it. Yeah, tell me. No, just be honest, son. Just go, nah, I'm totally not going to do that. Peace.

Yeah, did you brush your teeth? Nope, not gonna. I mean, just be honest. Don't tell me you're going to do it. That's when you remind them. Like, hey, we heard old people, they complain about the dentures a lot. Fourth round. All right.

Yeah, what are we thinking? You don't call the front desk for room service. You call room service. That's the stupidest answer I've ever heard. I would have said towels. Towels has got to be number two. Listen to Boozy. Towels is the number two answer.

Boozy boy over here. Yeah, Boozy boy. Who did he say he calls? The room service. Yeah, you don't call the front desk for room service. I mean, he's technically right. There's a room service button on the phone. Yes, on all of them.

And not just on bougie phones. Not at the Motel 6. They don't have room service. When you call the front desk for room service, they'll say, no, we don't have some. The question wasn't, do they have it? Go to McDonald's. Oh, that's so stupid. All right.

All right. I feel pretty good. I'm kind of with you, Jay. All right. I appreciate it. Well, the people are with me. We're going into round seven, which scores are doubled. It's anybody's game.

Jason's at eight. Mike is at 10. Andy is at 11. Oh, man. Name something you see or hear that reminds you of an ex. That reminds you of an ex? Yeah, like an ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend. Oh, my gosh.

Are you serious? Not the letter? Yes. Three. Oh, my gosh. Are you serious? Not the letter? Yes. Three. Valentine's Day. That is not on the board. Okay, read the question. I genuinely was about to answer train tracks.

I was deceived. You weren't deceived. Like the crossing. What makes you think of the letter X? No, of an X. It's a shape. It's dark and hell is hot? I legit was about to answer that.

All right, I'll read it again. What makes you think of an X? Name something you see or hear that reminds you of an ex-girlfriend or boyfriend. Your song. That is the number one answer. Eat it. That sucks. Eat it.

You did not say girlfriend or boyfriend when you first asked. But he said X and you buzzed in. And then you got even more. No, he ended the sentence. You got even more information after you had buzzed in. Jason? It's irrelevant, so I'm going to go with a movie. Number four answer.

What a terrible last question. Terrible. Ruined the integrity of the whole now real quick uh answers for the other one if i were to buzz in i would say uh treasure map yep yep thank you which has to be the number one answer mike do you have any answers for uh sesame street okay there we go. Good answers. Good answers. Wow. All right. We are moving. The honest truth is I heard exactly what you heard.

And that's why I stalled. It was like, and my brain finally went, oh, EX. That's my fault. That's on me. All right. We ended with Jason at 10, Andy at 11, Mike at 16. Yeah, the truffle shuffle, baby. Mike is today's man of the people.

Yay! The truffle shuffle. The Spitballers Draft. All right, we're drafting things that are blue. Hey, Al, will you stop this button from blinking in front of me, please? Things that are blue. Lots to choose from. I'm going to go with tried and true.

Wait, you got the 101? I got the 101. I mean, I think there's two 101s, to be honest with you. But I got to go with the one that I think it's the leader of the pack. It's what people think about when they think about the color blue. And we're going with the sky. Eiffel 65. Interesting.

The sky is blue. Yes. And when I look up, I see a blue sky. The sky was the clear 101. That was my third. That was my third favorite. Sky was your third? You've got a couple of opportunities to get yours.

My mind is blown. So when someone says blue, sky isn't the first thing you think of? It was on the, I mean, it's obviously on my list, but no, there's other things that I think are better. All right, Mike. It's not necessarily the first thing I think. Okay. You're up. I got the sky.

Okay. I'll take the ocean. The ocean's number two. That was definitely there. Yep. That was. All right. On a personal level, I kind of wanted to take the ocean.

Like, I just like the ocean. You should have. But there's more sky than ocean. That's what I always said that and that's the math that's a fact yeah is that true he says yeah just whole world of sky well i mean the sky quarters ocean yeah nice one i think the what i can't wait to hear this yeah where are we going the depth of the bottom of the ocean okay so like versus the no atmosphere versus the atmosphere when it's no longer blue i think is is deeper than i think the ocean is deeper than the right but once you go deep enough in the ocean there's no light so it's just

pitch black okay is that blue ocean no well it's still blue things that are navy if a tree falls in the forest all All right, Jason. You said that... Was that going to be your 101? That would have been my 101. All right. So what's this 102 that usurps the sky? Well, as someone who grew up with beautiful blue eyes,

blue eyes are my 103 now. Okay. So are you going with eyes? That's a great pick. Great pick. Thank you. Thank you. Blue eyes are the best eyes. I wish I had you going with eyes? That's a great pick. Thank you. Thank you. Blue eyes are the best eyes.

I wish I had them, and I wish everyone I knew had them. And the color part of your eye is? Blue? No, no, no. The name of it. The iris? Okay. He was just trying to trap you on some eye questions.

Eye anatomy. He was going trying to trap you on some eye questions. Eye anatomy. He was going to get you. From time to time, checking in with Jason on these things, it turns into just very funny moments. Okay. All right. Well, what's your second pick here? Instead, he looked real smart.

Thank you. One out of six times. My second pick, now that the ocean and sky are gone. Yeah. But luckily, you have every other blue thing in the world to choose from. Every other blue thing. And I can take any of them. As the game begins.

Yes, yes. So this is interesting because we're just drafting things that are blue. Yeah. Not necessarily my favorite or the best, interesting things that are blue yeah and so at pick four interesting look i'm gonna all right how is this happening right now well because i'm so confused i'm trying to figure out which game i'm playing of am i trying my god am I trying to draft things that people are going to like.

The draft is things that are blue. That's all you got to do, man. What is happening? That's all you got to do. So I will say the first thing that came to mind when I heard things that are blue. Okay. It wasn't the sky or the ocean or eyes. Just blueberries. That's fine fine that's a good pick the people love it in a look blueberries might be a bad pick in another draft but in a things that

are blue draft it's pretty good thank you you were so concerned to go with blueberries yeah where do you think we're going here man we don't got secrets better than blueberries It's pretty good. Thank you. You were so concerned to go with blueberries? Yeah. Where do you think we're going here, man? We don't got secrets better than blueberries. I didn't know. I feel like I'm going to be disappointed. Very high on my list. Okay. Very blue.

Yeah, they're delicious. They're definitely blue. You can smash them up and you can stain other things. Yeah, they're great. Great pick. But then when you do that, I feel like you make things purple. Yeah, that's true. That's true.

All right. So terrible. Mike, good luck to you on the things that are blue draft. All right. You got the ocean. I got the, yeah, I'm starting off in a good place with the ocean. Got a real powerhouse. And then I'm going to, what are you cackling about over there?

powerhouse and then I'm gonna what are you cackling about over there oh man did you think of another blue thing so you you you mentioned that he has the ocean he's so I was thinking about what my team is and I got eyes and berries and I thought oh maybe I could just do all body parts. All berries? Oh no. I realized I did not have all body parts. Some of my blueberries are fruit. Yeah. So that's what I was thinking about. He was trying to think of two more blue body parts. Yeah.

Okay. Back to you Mike. Yeah. What you got there Mike? I will take jeans. Yeah. Okay. Back to you Mike. Yeah. What you got there Mike. I will take jeans. Oh not on my list. Very good. Give me that denim. That makes a lot of sense. Not on my list. No that's great. That's great. So you've got ocean and what do you got. Blue jeans. Yeah. And he's got berries. I got eyes and blue berries. He's building a blue person.

And I got the sky. Yeah. And I got to come back here with, I'm going to go with, look, it popped into my head. I'm going with Cookie Monster. Oh, very nice. Cookie Monster is my number two pick. No, very, very nice. Super blue.

Yeah, very blue. One of the bluest. And like super blue yeah very blue one of the bluest and like classic blue classic blue and then for my next pick uh it's tough i had eyes on the list i'm gonna go with the sapphire i'm gonna go with the pristine jewel the blue sapphire the blue sapphire yeah that's a tremendous pick um what you got there mike Mikey? This draft is just humming. It's moving right along. Got to have a little creativity. Yeah, and I guess a little bit, I like the Cookie Monster.

It stole some of the thunder because I'm going with Sonic the Hedgehog. Oh, I like that pick. My blue's got some attitude. Your blue's got some, he goes very fast. And running shoes. The fastest of the blue things. So, pig. My blue's got some attitude. Your blue's got some. He goes very fast. And running shoes. The fastest of the blue things. So, okay. The blue blur.

We have gotten into characters, I see. We are drafting anything that's blue. It's not. There's no enveloping of it. There's no boundaries. Why are you in this box, man? No, I'm coming. Join us.

You don't need to just choose body parts, man. I'm stepping out of the box. I might still draft the body part, but when I was thinking of things that are blue, the character that comes to mind specific to blue, and I'm not saying it's any

bluer or less blue than your cookie monster or whatever Mike just drafted that I can't remember. Sonic. But when I think of blue, I think of Smur smurfs the smurfs are they're all blue it's a bunch of blue uh characters so i will take the smurfs for things that are blue and this was my this was my fourth pick from the get-go i mean i this was smurfs i mean i know we wanted you to get outside of the box, but you did take the third character. Yeah, you were following.

But you guys each got a character? Yeah. Like idiots. I took a village of characters. You took a village of- With the body weight of about half a cookie monster. Okay. You want weight?

You want something big? I do. Well, then I'm drafting Uranus because it's blue. More body parts. More body parts. More body parts. It was legitimately my next pick. Yes. You went with the planet, huh?

Yeah, I went with the planet. You get the whole sky there, too. I got the eyes, the berries, the Smurfs, and Uranus. That's a good pick. Is that the bluest of the planets uh there's a tie right i mean neptune's pretty blue right i can't draft neptune after you no no not after you know we would never chase yeah somebody else's theme exactly uh okay so i'm down so i i get grief for chasing yeah for chasing the theme but he Sonic right after. Yeah because we took the two

good ones. That's ridiculous. I don't know. Last man ends the most pathetic. Yeah. Thank goodness I have so many. Two is a trend. Three is a crowd. All right. So I am. Mike's got the ocean. He's got jeans. He's got Sonic the Hedgehog. He does not have Uranus. No, he does not. I am torn here between three things. It's mine. And I'm going to go. I got the berries and Uranus. Doesn't take much to get this guy going. So what do you got there, Mike?

What are you going with? I'm going to go. It's okay to go with the classic blue. What, just? I'm just saying you don't have to. Like a crayon? I will take crayon. You don have to outpace your anus is all i'm saying uh i'm going with high temperature flames oh okay yeah when you see a gas flame when you see a blue flame that means don't touch when you see children when you see any color flame it means don don't touch. I'm very confused about flames.

Maybe you guys can figure this out. When I turn on my gas fire pit, when it starts and it's burning, it's blue. But then it gets really orange, and it's much warmer at that stage. It gets real red hot orange. Yeah, orange is not as hot as blue, right? That's why I'm a little confused. Maybe it's different with gas specifically. I don't know, yeah.

Or just the way that the heat dissipates? I didn't think. I thought, you know. I don't know. It says you get a blue gas flame with a hydrocarbon gas when you have enough oxygen for complete combustion. Oh, I always thought it was hotter. When you you do have sufficient oxygen the gas flame appears blue because complete combustion creates enough energy to excite boring boring but it's gas uh okay so you went with the

blue flame so i gotta finish this out sure look when you said you were going with something big i didn't realize it was gonna be uranus but that does does make sense. Yeah. That's something large. Huge. But I'm going to go with the blue whale. Yeah. I can't get the ocean, but I might as well swim around in it with my blue whale. I didn't want to double up. Did you have two whales? Oh, you had the ocean.

Yeah. I don't want the ocean. And then I have this whole theme. Four different blue whales. Yeah, that completes my sky, cookie monster, sapphire with the blue whale. All right. What do I have? I don't have the list in front of me.

So you have the ocean, jeans, Sonic the Hedgehog, and the high temperature flames. Yeah, I'm going to put Sonic. You might want to just go with blue flames there. Oh, yeah, blue. It's debatable on the temperature. Okay, blue flames. And Jason has eyes, blueberries, the Smurfs, and the planet Uranus. Yeah.

Yeah, baby. Which, look, other things, I mean, the planet Uranus. Yeah. Yeah, baby. Which, look, other things, I mean, there are a lot. Yeah. Oh, there's a lot of blue things. Because it's blue. I mean, lakes, but I feel like it was just the step- Yeah. Step-sister.

It's the poor- Step-cousin, step-sister? It's the poor man's ocean. I had a different one on my list in case someone took ocean, which was lagoon. Oh. Oh, the blue lagoon. Very nice. Yeah.

I had- Peacocks? What was- They got some blue in them you needed more i had a ghost from pac-man when you eat the power pellet interesting that's very nuanced ironically i had the best character of all the characters way better than cookie monster sonic but wasn't a village so i took smururfs. But no, Aladdin or Genie? Aladdin is not blue. No, but the Genie.

The Genie is the best blue character. And the monster from Monsters, Inc., right? Sully. Sully. I had Dr. Manhattan. Oh, that's a good one. I also feel like just Waterfalls would have been a good pick. Sure.

But you don't want to chase them. Shout out to Blue Man Group, too. Oh, yeah, Blue Man Group. That man group too oh yeah that's a good one it's a good one very nice i got cheese anything else oh okay i mean it's not blue it's a little it can be call it blue cheese it's a twist if you leave it out long enough and the navi the navi from avatar from avatar oh relevant everything else we've forgotten my waiver wires were genie avatar and blue man group so they all just got mentioned okay very nice al very nice what did we learn today what did we i learned that

in long times past the only thing that people did was look at birds for joy and for uh anger yeah i learned that that we were drafting, or sorry, we were picking things that were related to an ex-girlfriend or boyfriend. Yes. Mid-answer. And I learned that there's, Jason can't call the front desk for room service. Darn right.

I know the process. I kind of agree with that. I mean, there's a button that says room service. Yeah. And then there's a button that says front desk. Why would I call the front desk when I want room service? I don't know. Only if they don't answer.

Everyone agrees with me. Take care, everybody. Hope you enjoyed the show. Tell your friends. Goodbye. Thanks for listening to the Spitballers Podcast. To see what other nonsense the guys are up to, check out spitballerspod.com.
