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.
Do that, be bad, boo-bop, but you're gonna poo.
Welcome in The Spitballers back again
Episode 228
Jason has reached for
The number of cards I believe he's going to give himself
A rating
Gives himself a 4
This is not out of 5
This is a 4 out of ten.
I think that's probably fair.
Yeah.
It wasn't my worst.
No.
No, but you could sense the doubt.
And I went blank.
I went blank.
I had nothing prepared, nothing in mind.
And that really felt true.
Right. You didn't prepare. and that really felt true. Right.
You didn't prepare.
That was about a four.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Welcome, and we have Would You Rather on today's show.
That's a great question, as well as a draft.
We are drafting the worst parts of being an adult.
So if you're an adolescent kid, teenager, you're going to learn some things today,
and maybe you'll be thankful that you are a kid.
They won't learn a single thing. I know. I wasn't thankful, and maybe you'll be thankful that you are a kid. They won't learn a single thing.
I know.
I wasn't thankful.
Or maybe they'll be fearful.
No.
They'll say, wait.
No.
This is going to suck being a grown-up.
No, because when you're a kid and you hear grown-ups complaining about things, you're
like, that's your problem, man.
That's never going to happen to me.
I will never get old, and I'm invincible.
I'll never be a grown-up.
We should have a best part of being a grown-up draft. Yeah. Sure. We will. We'll do that. Cookies for dinner. It's just to happen to me. I will never get old. I'll never be a grown up. We should have a best part of being a grown up draft.
Yeah, we will.
We'll do that.
Cookies for dinner.
Just three rounds.
Just three rounds.
Cookies for dinner.
Yeah, that's on the list.
You can eat what you want.
That's right.
I still remember the very first time that I ever, when I moved out of my parents' house
and I had my own home, the very first thing I did was I went to Costco and I bought the
largest package of red vines and I just ate them all the time. And I, whenever I wanted to eat them,
I'd eat some red vines and I got so sick. I was, I literally was throwing up red vines. I mean,
I learned that lesson, you know, balance moderation. Yeah. It's not a joke when you,
when you're telling your kids slow down on the sugar because your tummy's going to hurt.
Yeah, yeah.
So we'll be drafting that at the end of today's show.
Thank you for subscribing, following the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify.
Tell your friends about the podcast.
That's the best.
If you want to give us a gift, which I'm sure all of you,
at most moments of the day you're thinking, how could I give them a gift?
How could I give back for everything they do for me tell your friend friends and family which i was going to combine
into one word there your friend family yeah tell tell all your friendly framulan
about this show so that they can enjoy their mondays as well let's get it going would you rather all right i like this one tanisha over on patreon says would you
rather have the ability to stop time for a day or to rewind time for a day what are the exact advantages of stopping time for a day?
Naps.
You just said, but, I mean.
You wanted days where the naps didn't resume?
Yeah.
I mean, like, if you can stop time,
you will never have to worry about being tired ever.
Ever.
Because if, like, you could be going 75 down the freeway, and a yawn hits you, like, ever. Because you could be going 75 down the freeway,
and a yawn hits you.
Like, man.
Then you go, beep.
You do the out of this world.
You push your fingers together.
Everything freezes.
Or you use Zach Moore's timeout,
and then you just lay down and have a little power nap.
Okay, so you're interpreting this as this is a power you have
over the rest of your life.
I was thinking you just got to do this once.
I was thinking you got to do it one time.
That's how I read it as well.
So I'm fine with either premise.
I love.
Okay.
I love what you're doing with napping during these time.
There would be no sleep.
But if this was the only one you got, it would seem a real shame to be like, guys, I got
this wish. I can stop time for a day it seems
so i'm gonna take a nap like like if you only had it one time would you use it why would you use it
like i can't find the reason why i'd stop time for a day other than like nefarious theft okay
that that's i mean but how would that even help you i mean stopping time for a day does not
give you access to things it just you just stop it when the vaults open yeah you know okay so
you think i was like if if i was like on like i had a loved one on their deathbed and i stopped
time for one day you get one more day with them but then you don't get to spend any time with them
they're frozen oh there's frozen yeah you're not hanging out with them. But then you don't get to spend any time with them. They're frozen. Oh, they're frozen. Yeah.
You're not hanging out with them.
They don't have the power.
You have the power.
So you're just alone in both of these situations? Yeah, it's basically like I'm going to get more chores done.
I don't have time to clean the house.
Hold on.
So one time when you're super stressed out, you just stop time for a day so you can calm down?
That's not the worst.
But if it's just a one-off then the rewind is so much
powerful or more powerful more powerful so much so much power uh i mean i guess because that would
correct the problem that happened yeah something bad happens or you're just like what would it be
like to jump out of a plane without a parachute And then just right before you get to the bottom.
What if rewind time for a day simply meant you could rewind time for a day and you just live from that moment?
Like you don't get to do anything.
You just like if you had a really good day.
Like Groundhog Day. You could rewind it and just live it again.
Yeah.
Well, I imagine that you could do that.
You could either choose to do the same things you did, in which case the day would play out as it happened, or you rewind the day, choose a different branch. That's the route I would go.
Yeah.
I would want to see how different can the world be if I make different choices, and I think I'll be pretty disappointed.
Well, considering you'll only get to see the outcomes for that next 24
hours of how they're different,
you won't get to see long-term impact.
Yeah, no. It'll be like,
well, it was pretty much the same day. I just saw
a different movie. Now, if you had the ability
to do either of these infinitely,
yes, you could
not sleep ever, right?
I mean, you're sleeping, but you
have extra time. You could take a 12-hour every night. You could sleep for 12, right? Because you could get... Well, I mean, you're sleeping, but you don't... You have extra time. You could take a 12-hour...
Every night, you could sleep for 12 hours.
Now...
But...
You still age.
Correct?
So, what?
You're twice the physical...
That's actually big.
Your physical...
No, you're stopping time, so you do not age.
That makes sense.
Time is stopped.
So, without time, you will not age.
This is like outside of time.
Okay.
So then, yeah, that's incredible because you have infinite time then to do the mundane things that are in the way of the fun stuff.
So it would be in your advantage to maximize the 24 hours of stopping time for a day every time.
Or would you?
Because I imagine it's a little bit boring.
You don't have family, friends. You don't get to do anything. That's imagine it's a little bit boring you don't have family friends
you don't get to do anything so would you it's naps man but like you get what i'm saying like
oh yeah maximize the lack of time passing you should run that clock to 24 every day but you
might get a little bit well i i think that in this question you don't get to just pause time out
time in it says you have the ability to stop time for a day or rewind for a
day and i'm telling you this if you pause time for 24 hours and the whole world around you nothing
happened for 24 hours i think it would be a nightmare i do not think you'd like it you
the novelty will wear off you will be completely alone you won't be able to do anything i i think it's a
negative i don't see any positive for stopping well mike was making the point maybe you sleep
12 of the 24 right you sleep so you're always super rested and then the other 12 you what do
you do you clean the house you do the chores yeah can you do that stuff you're just like your wife's
like every time you come out of this thing she like, why is the house always so pristine? The mundane things that get in the way of the moments where you're like, I'm really living.
Because the stuff has to get done.
Adult things have to be done.
And all the times where it's the weekend, right?
You finally have time off of work.
And the kid's like, Dad, let's go do this.
I can't because this adult stuff has to get done.
Most of the adult stuff, though, is like, you know,
you got to go to the kid's birthday party.
You got to go to the doctor appointment.
It involves other people.
Like, Jason, would this all change for you
if you could bring one person with you each time?
No.
No?
No, I don't think so.
One person's not enough.
I mean, I feel like now I'm bringing someone else into a problem it'd be like oh check this out your wife could do this which if you could do it what
would we do we wouldn't even know that right i mean we've already been doing it for years
and that's how i know how boring it is okay you guys didn't know what do you mean what would you
do you would watch tv you would sleep but like would watch TV. You would sleep in class.
But how is that an advantage to just stop time and watch TV?
I already watch TV.
Yeah, but it takes your time off.
But time is passing.
You're wasting your life right now.
But here's the thing.
Your most precious resource is time.
Sure.
But if I watched TV during this 24-hour pause period,
you want to know what I'm going to do unpaused?
Productive things.
I'm going to watch TV.
Oh, man.
I'm going to see so much TV.
So wait, are you telling me that you don't look at anything in your life and say you wish you had more time to do anything else?
No, I do.
If only I could find more time to do things.
Click.
But I think that most things that you would say, I wish I had more time to do X, that
does involve more than just solo operation.
Yeah.
That's why I offered you a friend.
I mean, like, I want to go somewhere, travel, do things like that.
That's the thing I want more time for.
You could pause time for the day, drive to the beach, hang out at the beach for 12 hours, and drive home.
What a nice time by myself.
No, no, the traveling is by yourself.
Like, if you stop time, well, I mean, we're under the assumption now that, like, electronics and cars and things, mechanical things can still work.
Okay.
So you say, hey, just sit in the passenger seat here we're gonna go to the beach
and then you get to use all you can pause it so you have daylight you can go whenever you want to
go with your pal because you don't have to worry you don't have to worry about travel like the
nighttime travel we can't get this guy to take a Super Bowl. I will rewind the clock and live that day over.
So if you could rewind it, why is that better to you than the other one?
Just because.
I mean.
Because he can watch a different television program.
But you don't accomplish anything.
Because the stuff you accomplish during the day, you lose.
Yeah, it's gone.
It's wiped out.
No, no.
I mean, we're being honest.
You have to re-watch all your shows.
This is just.
No, you retain your information.
Yeah.
Like, who won the Super Bowl?
Oh, yeah.
Okay, now we're back to betting.
It always comes back to that.
But, I mean, come on.
If you've got a time machine, you know some stuff.
You can be very right on a lot of things.
Which is the key to life.
It's a key to winning and betting.
All right, Lucas from Patreon patreon would you rather have the
ability to manipulate the four seasons or to predict the weather up to a year in advance
so what would be the advantages of those two yeah explain to me the manipulating the four
seasons as in like i think that summer is done now sure Sure. Yeah, they could be as long or short as you want.
So in Arizona, we've got a glorious winter.
Yes, we do.
But if you manipulated our seasons, let's be honest, everyone's living here.
Yeah, because in the winter.
You only weed them out through the summer.
I mean, that's not completely true because there's places that are super nice.
Okay, so our cost of living will go up.
Sure.
Okay.
Now I just buy a bunch of real estate.
And by the way, California, which you're talking about, traffic is astronomically horrible.
Yes.
Now, can we affect the seasons?
We live in Arizona.
There are two seasons here.
Around the country, there's four.
Here it goes from hot to winter.
Yeah, fall is three hours, and then spring is 62 minutes.
Yeah, exactly.
So maybe we could add some seasons here, add some spice.
Because I look around the country, and I want to see.
You want some fall?
Fall, yeah.
You want to get into that fall?
Absolutely.
I want to see the changing leaves.
Cactuses don't generally change their
leaves no nothing out here is their needles but you know at the same time predicting the weather
with accuracy up to a year in advance is really really nice for vacations i mean you want to go
you know yeah when you when you plan something, and we all do, right?
Like, you guys have, we all three have a family trip coming up several months from now.
Right.
How's the weather that week when you're leaving?
Hopefully good.
Right, exactly.
But you could know and say, oh, I don't want to go.
For instance, for Christmas, I mean, this just happened. For Christmas, I got my son a weekend trip, just me and him, to go to Magic Mountain.
We flew out there, and the park was closed because it was horrifically rainy that weekend.
If I went the next weekend, sunshine and beauty.
So that trip was ruined by the weather
that's that's i think the big advantage of being able to predict the weather see i was thinking
really noble here though if you knew the weather up to a year in advance you could save every
catastrophic thing from happening oh now you're thinking of like like so you know natural
disasters yeah you'd know when tornadoes were going to hit, so you could give people a warning.
You knew the severity of those things.
Sometimes people get caught off guard, right?
Would you consider an earthquake or a volcano eruption
to be part of weather?
An earthquake or a volcano eruption?
Certainly not an earthquake.
No, neither of those.
So tornadoes and hurricanes?
The volcanoes don't erupt when it rains or something, so no.
No, they're natural disasters, but not the kind that...
Yeah, it's Mother Nature, not weather, Father Weather.
Father Weather, as he's referred to.
Thank you for clarifying.
So, no, but the big storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding,
all of that stuff that devastates the world every year.
Yeah.
But also vacations, Jason.
Right.
I mean, that's a little more important.
Yeah.
Everybody's vacations.
But would you actually be taken serious?
After a couple.
Yeah.
Sure. I mean, a couple. Yeah. Sure.
I mean, a couple people are going to have to go down to prove it.
Yeah.
Eventually, you just have to hit on some, especially if you knew tornadoes,
because like hurricanes, we know.
To get out a little bit.
So you know at this time of the year.
No one's ever like.
This is when a hurricane happens.
But a tornado, it's very difficult to pinpoint exactly where and when it happens.
You don't wake up one day and a hurricane is on your door.
Right.
And no one, like, oh, my goodness, what just happened?
Whereas a tornado, you snap your fingers and it's there.
Yeah, and the flooding one.
The flooding catches people off guard.
The other one, manipulating the seasons, that's pretty much just creating a perfect environment.
How valuable would that be? one manipulating the seasons that's pretty much just creating a perfect environment how valuable
would that be like obviously right now you guys complain about the weather all the time yes but
you live here yeah because family this is where my family is so
someone put their roots here by that response though you are saying that the the value of the environment and
what you live in is lower than the value of living near your family so correct i guess i'm just
saying like if it was the most pristine perfect like i guess you can go live in hawaii right now
it's a lot to go do that and if that's not everyone's perfect weather yeah i guess that's
true i think i'm going to manipulate the four seasons here.
Sorry, everybody, I will not be able to alert you on these natural disasters.
But if I could make where I live exactly the weather I want it.
You wouldn't need air conditioners then.
Well, the way I'm reading this question is the four seasons still have to happen.
And over a 12-month period.
That's fine.
I get a day of summer.
You're only going one day?
You wouldn't do like a month?
Arizona summer?
Maybe a couple weeks.
I mean, it's a pool time.
You get a pool to go into the lake.
That's pretty nice.
I mean, it's too long.
I mean, the melanoma's a real drag.
Yeah, it would pretty much be winter here.
Yeah, for the most part now if i affect
the seasons do i so like would i be changing it universally so now it's like
11 months are winter so the rest of everyone in detroit oh no because they're living 11 months
of winter it's ice age up there but i'm like I'm living in glory. I feel like you are now an evil villain from some sort of Pixar film if you're doing that.
We got to wall off this city quick.
They're all coming.
So you're going seasons, Mike?
Are you doing the predicting weather?
No way.
Give me the seasons.
All right.
Todd from Twitter.
Would you rather survive without technology for the rest of your life, but you get an
unlimited supply of internet access for one day a week, or the inverse?
You have unlimited access to technology for the rest of your life, but no internet access
at all.
So how valuable is the internet to you versus the rest of your technology?
What does technology even do without internet?
Well, I mean...
You can still play your Xbox, anything that's local media.
You can watch television.
You can watch movies.
You can use a computer.
I forgot about cable.
There's cable.
There's satellite TV.
Everything is streamed.
So I'm thinking, like, you can't watch any of these TV services because you have no internet.
Do you count cars as technology?
Some of them are.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's tech in cars.
So all that's gone?
That's an interesting question because when we say the word tech, you're just, I guess you're.
You're never thinking car.
No, because you're thinking it has a computer chip.
Yeah, which technically they do now.
All cars.
All cars.
All new cars have at least some
sort of chip but mentally you think car engine yeah it's like a machine yeah analog but but
not having technology at all but getting the internet access what's the value of that
if you just have that so you're connected to the world right like right now
we're connected to everything before right we were the one of the only generations when you're
growing up we didn't have internet and you know the newspaper showed up on the door you had the
news channels but there are fewer of them now you're connected and you know too much i mean
would this be better for you to have to have the tech without internet i've i was kind
of thinking about this like i got hit on one of the social medias of one of the the throwback
80s whatever uh accounts and all they do is they post nostalgic stuff and they suck you in because
it's like hey remember when this stuff and it's just it's it's pictures of how things looked when
you were a kid you're like oh man yeah look at orange julius it's got of how things looked when you were a kid. You're like, oh, man, yeah. Look at Orange Julius.
It's got the orange and the brown.
Oh, there's a Blockbuster video.
There's Pizza Hut where you actually used to go.
And you sit down.
All those things.
Yeah.
Little shots of nostalgia.
Yeah.
And so I started thinking about it of would it be better?
And now you're so isolated into your house because you could door dash everything, you can stream everything.
Would it actually be better if you could go back and you have to go out?
You're forced to leave the house to go do all of those things.
Is there a value to society for that?
Yeah.
Or are you just romanticizing it because you grew up with it,
and then if you got forced to go back to it, you go, man, this sucks.
Why can't I just watch whatever movie I want to watch whenever I want to watch it?
I mean, it's a good question for a number of reasons.
One, obviously any of us at any moment now could choose to discard all of that,
and we don't.
So there's that.
Sort of.
I mean, there's some things that, like,buster doesn't exist anymore oh okay i see what you're saying like sit down
pizza hut the things around you doesn't really exist anymore yeah you couldn't go back to those
things because they're gone i what's i don't remember the exact statistic or information
like somebody had done a study and basically it said you know one issue of the new york times
contained more information in it than the like the average person would have been able to take in during the 1800s
like in their lifetime like more so the information overload factor right like we have so much
information at our fingertips honestly it makes people bored with things that are like what you're talking about yeah i if if we really had to go back in time
there there's pros and cons uh but i do think it would be pretty helpful for people to have to
socially interact in real life a little bit more than every oasis yeah exactly um i i don't see
the benefit to saying no technology ever,
but I only get internet once a day.
Well, that would be for information.
That would be the only reason why that's at your fingertips, right?
You would not be able to anymore in the other one.
You can't Google a thing, right?
You're back to encyclopedias on the line.
Libraries are back.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, no.
And what was it? CD-ROMs?
CD-ROMs.
Yeah.
Was it Encarta?
Yeah, it was Encarta.
Oh, yeah.
Britannica.
When you had that first digital encyclopedia.
And it had two videos on it?
Yeah.
It was awesome.
It was so awesome.
But it was awesome because it was blowing your mind.
You're like, wait, I don't have to go figure out which volume of the encyclopedia I need?
Do you know how many times I read a physical book and wish I could press control F?
Because I want to find, I'm like, wait, this is, it doesn't even compute with me that I can't search this book for something.
So which one would you go with?
You said you don't think it's very valuable to have no tech and only internet.
So you're going no internet only tech yeah because it's not just it's it's no internet six out of
seven days plus no tech ever yeah so i'm pretty much i'm pretty much you know lighting fires in
my cave um i will yeah that's true so i i will take the tech. We're just right back to the cave living.
Yeah.
All houses are gone.
I don't even get a VCR.
Are you in the same one?
I'm with Jason.
I'll take the tech, but no internet access.
Yeah, because the other way around,
let's say you got your one day of internet,
you could watch some streaming TV or something on it.
But then the other days, you got no TV, right?
And you got no musical music.
Yes. Yeah. Well, you're back to CDs. Yeah. Oh, right? And you got no musical. I mean, you're music.
Yes.
Yeah.
Well, you're back to CDs.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
That was a good time.
But like you have to carry a notepad around with you because whenever someone has a question,
we're going to have to ask the old Google machine that on Saturday.
Yeah. Like nowadays you're sitting around the table and somebody's like, oh, I think it's this.
No, I think it's like at lunch today. We didn't know how to pronounce the word bougainvillea.
Yeah, bougainvillea.
Bougainvillea.
Yeah, whatever.
Around Arizona, the plant's called a bougainvillea.
Yeah.
It's not a question.
That's what the plant people call it.
Everyone says bougainvillea here.
Yeah, but we were able to Google it and then somebody ultimately dunk dunks on the other
person yeah were there dunks back in the 90s like did you oh yeah you go to the library you like
write it down or you sketch it down and then you come back and say i looked this up and in your
face yes but by then the person doesn't remember anymore so there's no impact of the dunk but you
got to be way smarter back then oh yeah, yeah. Did you? Because if you were very... Memories.
Well, either that or just confidence.
If you're really...
No, that is absolutely true.
I mean, then it is true.
You say that something...
Because you can't be proven wrong?
You can't be proven wrong.
I mean, you just have to say it with confidence
and now you are the world's smartest person.
You think I'm wrong?
Go look it up.
Go to the library.
Grab the keys.
I do like libraries, though.
Oh, man.
Nice and quiet.
All right, moving on.
That's a great question.
I mean, for those of you that have followed this show for a while,
you know that there's Deucer's Alley where the producers sit.
Now, what you might not know is that where I sit in the studio,
the main camera, and you can go ahead and put the camera on there if you're watching on on youtube it's a lonely alley today so you can see it says right there deuces alley
it's just deucer alley no but from where i'm sitting it's deuce alley that's all i mean it's
because the camera the camera covers the view of the ers that's right it's one of the same so i
just think over time that's going to influence the way I look at somebody like Brooks. If every time I see Brooks' face and Deuce Alley next to each other, I'm sorry, buddy.
Keep Deucing.
No problem.
But if I start treating you like, you know.
Like a Deuce?
Then just know why.
I got a big sign right next to me.
All right.
That's a great question.
This one comes in from Steven.
What is something that you know you do differently than most people?
Well, I sit down to pee 98% of the time.
There's a lot of people out there that do it.
More men than women.
If you had to say your percentages of sit versus stand, Jason, you just said 98 and 2.
Well, that is exclusively not in public.
I mean, I'm a urinal guy.
Right.
You don't sit in the urinal. No. You don't sit in the urinal.
No, I don't sit in the urinal too often.
I mean, if the...
Every once in a while, there's a saddle.
If I got to go number two and the stall is taken, you know, you got to turn around.
Why wait?
Sit in there like Kingpin.
But that is one thing.
I think I'm really like at least over 90 percent
mike at home i percentage oh percentage of sits for p uh probably 60 40 70 30 okay i'm probably
in which in favor of my man yeah i'm probably take a load off i'm probably in favor of my man. Yeah. I'm probably take a load off.
I'm probably sitting 75 or 80.
See, that's what I'm saying.
It's more.
But the phone, I think, has a lot to do with this.
But there's this stigma of what is a man?
And it's like, well, a man can stand when he urinates.
So you're like, I've never really felt that.
Oh, it's definitely out there. So wait a minute.
When this question from Steven is asked,
what's something I do differently than most people,
maybe I cannot answer this.
You're a 0%?
Maybe.
Brooksie, you're a stand only?
Yeah, I always stand, yeah.
How often do you put the seat up?
Always, yeah.
You're probably 100.
It's not a manly man thing.
I just prefer to stand and pee.
He's an alpha back there.
High T. So what were you saying, you saying though jet you were saying this question well brooks kind of derailed that in the sense that i was thinking
maybe this isn't different than most people you don't burp that is certainly one of that's
different than all other people on the earth i hate that so what you wish you could burp oh my
goodness i wish i could burp i imagine that my goodness, I wish I could burp. Yes. I imagine you still feel the pressure inside, right?
I don't know.
I mean, I feel the pressure all in my belly.
You know, it's like I just bloat.
But I don't know how to burp.
I've tried.
I've tried to figure it out.
I've watched videos before.
I've watched videos.
Yeah, because I'm a YouTube tutorial.
There's no videos on how to burp because it's just a human function.
Yeah, there are.
There are?
Yeah, because you can force yourself to burp, but not everyone knows how to do it.
I can't.
Yeah.
It just seems like it'd be like looking up a video of how to lift my arm or how to listen with my ears.
Just tell your body with your brain to do it.
Wow.
Mike, do you have something that's just so out of bounds for you?
I read through and saw this because I'm like, man, what can I do?
And the first thing I thought of is I snap primarily with my index finger.
Oh, weird.
Yeah, I remember you telling me that, and that doesn't seem possible.
Instead of my middle finger.
I can't even.
It's not really a thing.
I can't even do it.
How? Whoa, I didn't even. It's not really a thing. I can't even do it. How?
Whoa, I didn't realize how hard that is to snap.
Here's the sound of my finger snapping.
That's how loud I can get it, right?
So you snap with your index.
Whoa.
Hot shot.
I got another thing.
Hot shot.
I got another thing, hot shot, that you do differently than others.
You are an incredible whistler.
Well, thank you.
But people whistle. I don't do it differently. You are an incredible whistler. Well, thank you. But people whistle.
I don't do it differently.
You do it differently.
LeBron James does basketball differently than most people.
You're the LeBron of whistling.
You've got to give the people a tough time.
Well, now I'm just laughing.
It's hard?
Yeah.
But, I mean, I'm a prolific snapper and whistler.
Yeah, you do.
You do that a lot.
I don't know if there's one thing that comes out.
It's hard off the top of your head because you may not even know you do it differently.
Well, that's one of the funny things.
If you want a little behind the curtain here at Spitballers Studio, generally we have lunch here as a team.
And one of the things that happens is we'll bring up ridiculous discussions much like this show.
Yes.
And we'll start to, like the other day,
we were looking into how people do laundry
and do they take their laundry out of the dirty laundry basket
or do they keep it in the dirty laundry basket?
Or how do they fold it?
Or do you not fold it?
Or do you put it on a hanger?
And so you learn a little bit around here that you do things,
like putting in dirty dishes without rinsing them in the dishwasher.
So we do learn a little bit of the, and the reason we do them if you think about it the only reason we do them
the way we do them is because somebody did them that way before we did yeah because that's how
i've always done it it's been passed down to us by our parents you're like the first time i did it i
tried it and that worked so now i may not change course and it's weird because when you get married
somebody does stuff differently than you do yeah and then there have been many times in my marriage where i'm like no you don't do it
that way and then and then she goes no yes you do and then and then that's the moment that's the
moment when you when you go well why is why would i why would i it's the first time you question
why would i do it that way there's no reason i do it that way it's very interesting say it's a a life
moment for everyone when you say I do this this way because that's how I've always done it that
is not a good reason to do anything you can say we've always done it like this because I worked
it out and this is the more efficient way to do it. But if your reason for doing something is just because,
because, that's a terrible reason.
It's not a great one.
Evaluate.
Ask some questions.
It would not hold up in court.
Yeah.
All right.
Laura wants to know, solve a dispute.
Why did you do that?
Because I always have.
Yeah.
What else am I supposed to do?
Overruled.
Laura wants to know, simple dispute.
It's a good question.
This is an easy and obvious question.
What's the best seats in a movie theater?
Oh.
Okay.
If you're a child, it's the front row.
And I don't understand why.
Once.
It's only that once for a child.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because that's the worst, the absolute worst seat in a movie theater.
I can't believe they get away with selling those seats. I because that's the worst the absolute worst i can't believe they
get away with selling those seats i think i think that's unfair yeah well to be fair to the movie
theater they only sell those seats when everything else is gone but i'm saying they shouldn't they
should not exist they should be discounted they should be discounted you should partial view
i mean but it's just like it's it's so close like there should be a there. A partial view. I mean. But it's just like it's so close.
Like there should be a – there has to be a legal distance between your seat,
the closest seat, and the screen because there's some roads where you just – this is ridiculous.
And it's not this way anymore because speaking of the future where you like
reserve where your seat is, which is one of the best inventions of modern society
because the struggle of back when we were kids
and you had to look, number one,
you either had to look up the movie time in the paper
or you call movie phone, 222 film.
I'll call them to movie phone.
Exactly, but it's okay.
How do I know I can see this movie?
I have to show up an hour early.
That's how I know I'm going to get in.
And that's how I know I'm not going to be sitting in the front.
Just to buy the ticket.
Yes.
And then you got to go get in line.
Then you got to go.
It is like a, it's an open run.
Yes.
Once you're in there, like, yes, you're in a line, but it's not like you're waiting for
the person to find their seats.
You're just running around.
Oh, man, children, if you've never lived that life.
So is your, this is easy and obvious thing, Jason,
is that you were going somewhere in the middle?
So it's in the middle, but I would say that specifically,
obviously left to right dead center is the best.
Of course, yes.
But I think that the best seat is usually most theaters nowadays they have
kind of an upper area where there's there's some stadium seating yeah the stadium seating
where there's kind of the first row where you're going up that so it's it's you know you walk in
and there's seats on the level that you walk in, and then you climb stairs to go to the rest. How many stairs do you climb?
The first stair climb is the best seat.
Oh, so you're actually pretty close.
I'm decently close, yeah.
Interesting.
But I don't have to – you don't ever hurt your neck there
or feel uncomfortable ever.
You're about to give us the reason.
So I am very close and –
Because he's always done it that way.
Exactly. Exactly.
Yes.
And a lot of times, those seats are right in front of the area where there aren't any seats.
They're like the accessible.
Accessibility?
Yeah.
That's a tough word.
But they got the bars there then, too.
Right.
That's where I was going to.
And you get to put your feet up on the bars with the best
seats in the house that's that's prime now if the bars were in front of every seat would you go
higher no i i do think that i would go a little higher i think the first row i'm up you're like
you're not all the way up no no i'm about uh like you're not on makeout row no no no i'm not i'm not a heathen in the back where i'm
not trying to watch a movie i'm like probably three rows from the top oh that's pretty i go
way up there i want i want the whole view no even no no partial head movement i want my eyes to be
able to take it all right in between where you two are i'm not as low as jason i'm not as high
as you are i'm right in the middle you're the Goldilocks I'm the Goldilocks of this situation
but I will choose the bar over the Goldilocks
let me tell you why
my seat is better than yours
you can pee faster
obviously
end of case yes I can pee faster
no it's because
I agree with you Mike no head movement
you cannot have to move your head one inch to the left or right to see something change on the screen.
But I don't.
You don't have to in those seats.
There's a temptation.
There's no temptation.
There's a temptation.
You're at max peripheral.
You are at max peripheral, which is exactly what you want.
No, it's too much.
You're in the scene.
It's the biggest version of the screen.
How much of Mike's choice is a little bit of being away from the biggest part of the
crowd?
Are you trying to get away from the group?
No.
Because if you're in the dead middle, I mean, you're really surrounded.
Yeah, I'm not trying to avoid people.
I mean, I'm not buying the seat right next to...
Oh, monsters do that. Unless that thing is sold mean, I'm not buying the seat right next to. Oh, monsters do that.
Unless that thing is sold out, come on, put a seat in between.
I will say, reserving your seat is incredible,
but I can see there is a weak point from the theater's standing
because when I buy my ticket and someone's in the best spot
and it's pretty patchy,
I will just go one seat over
so now a single person
if they want to sell that ticket,
it has to be someone who's going to the movie by themselves.
Yeah, whereas before
you just run in and fill it up.
Yeah, and they were so small.
The seats were so small back then.
And I can't have Mr. Manager come in and be like,
oh, everyone, we're sold out.
We need you all to get up and pinch in.
Because we all tried that back in the day.
You would leave the seat, and then they'd come and scold you
and tell you to move over.
Can't do that anymore.
This is my seat.
That just tells me that the day of the cattle call airplane boarding has to end.
Oh, it does.
I can't stand that. There's really only the one. of the cattle call airplane boarding has to end. Oh, it does.
I can't stand that.
There's really only the one.
Yeah, I know, Southwest.
Get it together.
Just sell your seats.
Yeah, we're all fine picking them.
All right, one more real quick.
Sam wants to know what the dumbest way you've ever been injured was.
I know mine. Mine was sitting down.
And not sitting down as in like a verb.
That's just where I was.
Seated.
Seated down.
Which I think I've had multiple.
I've hurt a knee and I've had a calf spasm.
And my calf spasm, we have a video of it.
If you haven't ever seen it because you know we we've
got security cameras in here we are sitting uh i believe we were interviewing a potential
hire uh for for the website who got the job um at a pity because he had to deal with you getting
electrocuted that's what the video looks like i am sitting down and all of a sudden i start basically convulsing if
you took a fish out of the water yes and you put him on the ground he flops and back and forth and
back and forth that's what was happening i thought jason was legitimately having a stroke oh i was so
concerned and yeah you you had an issue yeah The best part of that video is actually you two. Because Andy is immediately just so concerned.
And Mike could care less.
I'm taking it all in.
He was about to act.
Look, I need to analyze the situation.
Panic does no one any good.
I do remember being a child and running on the pool decking.
So the pool is out here in Arizona.
And one leg going in the water and one leg staying out.
Yeah, I mean, that's pretty common.
Didn't stay out too long, did it?
There was a bruise.
Oh, no.
It was a big bout of bruise.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
In an area that should not ever be bruised.
In an area that hurts a lot to be bruised.
Wow.
So I know that was a dumb one of the
dumb ways that i've been injured before oh it doesn't feel that dumb i just remembered mine
okay uh this was as i mean this is like a kid i mean so a youth and as youths do we're just doing
stupid stuff like and for whatever reason at this moment we I'm at my cousin's house,
and we're throwing golf balls into the grass in his backyard.
And I let one rip.
That's what happens with that technology.
Yeah, I mean, this is how we entertain ourselves.
I hit the patio beam.
Oh, no, It came right back?
It came right back.
Dead in the forehead.
And I had an imprint of the golf ball in my forehead.
You could have taken your eye out?
For multiple days.
Oh, my God.
There was the divots and everything.
So this pole was right by you?
Yeah.
Oh, that is unbelievable.
That is spectacular. I that's that's the
dumbest way to be injured and to have to tell people because it's on your forehead you got
to mark your stupidity right on your forehead oh man i wish that was on video that's pretty funny
that's pretty funny all right let's draft
the spitballers draft just see the word ping right on his forehead with the divot.
All right, today we are drafting the worst parts of being an adult.
Jason, being the most adult of all of us, gets to start this draft.
I'm a real grown-up.
And there's really two top picks to me.
Okay.
There are two top picks to me.
Okay.
I keep kind of going back and forth on which one to take, but I think this almost encompasses everything.
It goes further than you think at first glance
because a lot of the other things you have to do as an adult
all come back to this original problem.
It's bills.
Okay.
It's just bills.
You got to pay for stuff.
I mean, that's like the number one biggest problem of being an adult is all of a sudden money is your task,
and you have to take care of it.
You need it.
You need it for everything.
You don't need it as a kid.
And you don't just get it.
As a kid, I mean, maybe you got to work for some chores.
Right.
But you probably also get an allowance.
Or, you know, when you go to dinner, I'm not charging my kids.
How'd you get that money?
I waited a week.
Right.
Yeah, you have clothes. You have
everything you need as a kid. Yeah. So
bills I think are the number one problem
for adulthood. Okay.
And I get where you
were going between your picks. I mean I'm going to
have to answer job. Okay.
You don't have to have a job as a kid.
That is correct. Whenever my kids
tell me that they are
like too busy or have too much to do.
You know, I get it.
Like school is, is their job, right?
That's the job that they have as kids, but it's not nine to five.
And, uh, so I think the job is the thing, like you can't be an adult without a job.
The, so the job, you know, obviously people have better jobs and worse jobs sure i like my
job so in that respect i'm one of the few that would not look at it as a hindrance to
doing what i want to do but for the majority of the world the job is the obligation that stands
in the way of getting to pursue anything that you enjoy doing because you got bills because you got
bills you know i'm not arguing with that and uh and then it perpetuates itself right you get your job you got your bills
you you get better at your job you you do things that give you more bills so um i'm gonna go with
the job as being the worst part of being an adult all right so i get two picks here my i mean my
list is bountiful it's just where do you start?
I'm going to start with this one.
You are tired all the time.
When am I not tired?
Never.
I've just gotten the longest, most refreshing sleep of my life, 12 hours.
I mean, look, I guess I'm not tired when you're waking up and you have the coffee and then you're tired.
I mean, it's maybe 30 minutes.
Yeah, I was going to say an hour.
And it's usually like, to me, it's 30 minutes after you're awake.
Yes.
You get one hour of being not tired and it's back to time.
Yeah, I mean, it's a great pick.
I had it down as needing more sleep, which is the same thing.
You're always tired.
There's nothing quite like being an adult and having people see you when you don't think you're
tired and they just say wow you look tired oh man it's a huge compliment i showed up at my 95 year
old grandmother's house and the first thing she said to me when i walked in the door was you look
tired wow boom shakalaka yeah society we need to agree on a couple things here
Number one
No matter how sure
Follow this rule
No matter how sure you are
That a lady is pregnant
You never ask
They give you the information
If that shirt doesn't say
I'm expecting on it
And stop asking people If they're tired Because number one, of course they are because they're an adult.
So you know the answer.
And two, you're saying you look bad.
Yeah.
That is what you're saying.
Yeah.
You want to know what makes someone look tired?
Their eyes are droopy.
You got the dark black circles.
Exactly.
It's not a compliment.
It is like literally the one that gets under my skin the most. I don't know how to the dark black circles. Exactly. It's not a compliment. It is like literally the one
that gets under my skin the most.
I don't know how to fix it, man.
Yeah, it's crazy because
that's just me.
There is no other
commonly accepted insult.
But that is just an insult.
There's not any other
adjective that you can use.
You're just insulting someone
when you say,
oh, you look tired.
You're not giving advice of like, you should catch up on your sleep.
Hey, stop.
Your grandma wasn't like, let's call this off.
You look like you need to go home and go to sleep.
That's right.
It's just, no, hey, thanks for showing up, but you look real bad.
Yeah, I was like, grandma?
You look old.
All right. All right. So so always tired great first pick i'm gonna i'm gonna
combo that with uh when speaking of just of ridiculous ways that you can get injured as an
adult you can do this thing called i slept wrong and now my neck hurts like the most ridiculous
thing oh i did it wrong.
I did a normal thing wrong somehow.
I did a normal thing that where I'm not in control anymore of my body.
It's just going to do what it does as it's recharging.
So what are you calling that?
You slept wrong.
Okay.
Okay.
I had body breaking down.
Maybe just take that.
It sucks because when you're young, your body does whatever you want it to do.
Yeah.
You don't think about it.
That's the biggest thing about being an adult is you actually have to think about, oh boy,
if I do this, then X.
As a kid, you just do things and then you're also fine.
You remember when I got injured sitting down?
Okay.
I was doing nothing.
Yeah. remember when I got injured sitting down okay I was doing nothing yeah I think the I've I've recently started to like I've I've been had huge neck problems but in the last I don't know six
months I've tweaked my neck bad two times one I believe I was reaching down into the laundry
basket to get a sock and the other one i was uh drying my hair after a shower
and that these are not and then i felt my neck going i went oh oh well there's a week shouldn't
have dried my hair right these aren't like oh man you must have played a big game of football no i
was drying my hair all right that's a good one good one um i will go with gaining weight yeah i mean the old in there
the older you get the easier it is everybody always told i was the skinniest kid growing up
everybody always told me enjoy your metabolism someday i was like oh this metabolism will last
forever it's called haagen-dazs metabolism i could have a pint tonight and not notice it
but once you hit a certain age you have to eat well or you will gain weight.
The best part, though, is you can eat well, you can exercise on the reg,
and still not have the physique that you think you deserve for all of the work that you're putting into it.
You're just not getting fat as quick.
It's slowing the fatness down.
You can't hold it off it's a tricky thing because you go oh tomorrow my metabolism will be worse than today
so you got to work harder every day but um that's what i'll go with is the uh progressive weight
gain of getting older yeah metabolism is at the top of my list because man i miss it yeah i really really miss it and i and i'm so
jealous that we all know people that just have a crazy metabolism they don't eat good at all
they eat worse than i do they don't ever think about a diet ever and they're like a rail and
of course they're like i wish i could put on weight but you know we all want what we aren't
um all right so i've got bills. We all do, brother.
Yeah, that's part of the problem.
And I'm going to go, this was the other one that when I think of like the downsides of being an adult
that you just don't have as a child are responsibilities.
Sure.
You just, you're responsible for everything.
It's your job. Who takes the garbage out? It might be your chore,, you're responsible for everything. It's your job.
Who takes the garbage out?
It might be your chore, but who's responsible?
Me.
Who's responsible for everything?
You want food on the table?
Yep.
Go buy it.
You actually have nonstop responsibilities.
And as a kid, the freedom,
I remember thinking how free being an adult is.
You get to choose everything.
As a kid.
Do what you want.
You get taken where they say to go.
You got to do it.
But it's actually the reverse.
As a kid, you're free.
You have no responsibility.
What?
Homework?
Like your one responsibility?
As a grown up, that's like if i go through
the checklist of my day i am just doing responsibilities all day until i get to watch tv
that's why i watch so much tv if you paid the cable bill right right because bills and
responsibilities okay um the next one here, man, the list.
You're making a real strong list for not being an adult here.
Yeah.
Bills and responsibilities.
Okay, this one I'm going a little deeper, a little bit more philosophical.
I'm talking about the loss of your potential.
Ooh.
You know when you're a kid, you can do anything.
What job do you want to be?
It's on my list.
Loss of potential.
Those exact words.
Yeah.
Those exact words.
Wow.
Because it means something psychologically to you to think that you could become anything
if you wanted to.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
And you lose it. I'm not going to be a doctor. Like, it's just, it's become anything if you wanted to yeah and you lose it I'm not
going to be a doctor like it's just it's even if you wanted even if I wanted to I don't have
the potential to do anything in the world I'm not my MBA my course and path is set and there are
things like that like the NBA like when I was a kid I genuinely dreamed of being in the NBA
I know long shot whatever but that was a dream once you get past certain age points those things are just they are factually gone the potential to
do anything doesn't exist anymore my path has been charted and now I am an adult yeah with a with an
arrow pointing very clearly in my direction oh i thought you meant to death
well sure yes okay so the loss of potential i had it written down exactly like you did because
i agree that's one of those things that is it's a strange thing as you grow and you accept it i'm
not look i mean you accept those things and you're thankful for the blessings that you have
but obviously if you you know you check some things off the list, you're not probably doing the cross-country motorcycle tour
before you have kids when you have three kids and a spouse.
So, okay.
It's my pick?
It is.
Okay.
Let's see here.
I understand you have to check.
I'm going to go with a very simple one.
I'm going to go with no summer vacation.
It's on my list.
No summer vacation.
As a kid, not only does time go slower, right?
Because less of it has gone by in your life.
It just does.
The perception of time is so much slower that summer vacation felt way longer than it does now.
Yeah.
I mean, my youngest kid, a year is 10% of his entire life.
Exactly.
That's a big deal.
My chunks are getting much smaller.
Yeah.
It's the 40th of my life.
Yeah, so I would say that the summer vacation,
there's nothing I, that day, the day school ended.
And in Arizona for us, it was, it was you know ironically it was library trips
it was going to swimming the whole summer long playing sports watching cartoons um summer
vacation it's such a good memory it's just nice to have giant breaks yeah and you don't get that
as we literally just tried as a company to give ourselves one conjoined week off together with our kids on spring break and realized we can't even do that because of certain shows that we have to do.
We have responsibilities.
Yes.
Yeah.
So I will go no summer vacation.
Mike.
All right.
So I will have my.
So that was on your list too?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
No summer vacation. Just the three-month block is...
Like planning a week-long vacation is a struggle, man.
You have to line up so many different things.
And if one tiny piece doesn't fit into the week,
I'll be like, well, yeah, blow that up.
Let's find a whole different week
and let's start it all over again.
All right, for my final two, this one, I mean, it can fall under responsibility,
but I think it's so specific and it's the worst.
And it's dinner slash meal prep.
Yep.
That is the absolute.
You've been on a 20-year tirade against meal prep.
I find no joy, none, from the preparing of the meal.
There's a lot of people that do, but I find nothing.
You loathe it.
You're definitely at loathing.
Oh, I'm past loathing because I will have loathing.
I will have anxiety attacks because I'm trying to do the three things
at the same time that other people can easily do. I can't
handle it. I'm burning things over
here. What's your number one emergency
meal if things
go south? You thought you were going to meal
plan your entire week. What is the bottom
of the barrel you will allow for
a single... Is it peanut butter and jelly?
Is it cereal? For the family?
For the family. If you had to...
What can you get away with? 1-800-PIZZA. I was going to say pizza. bread and jelly is it cereal for the family or for the family oh like if you had to i mean what
can you get away with uh 1-800 pizza yeah i was gonna say pizza it's always pizza if you're if
you need a fallback it's pizza but if it's like if it's stuff that i have in that probably have
in the house i mean you're looking at like buttered noodles it's always noodles for me
buttered noodles all right spaghetti i like buttered noodles they're yeah they're good but you're like i'll take crispy noodles i mean like i don't ever desire it it's good once you
have it but there's i don't ever think like man i can't wait for dinner and those buttered noodles
does just show up for you as a kid yes it's what makes it so annoying when your kids complain about
oh my gosh or they don't come and sit down when I'm like, hey, dinner's ready.
They're like, yeah, I'll be there when I'm there.
I'm like, I just spent an hour.
And I'll spend the hour cooking.
You know how long that food's going to take me to eat?
2.5 seconds.
I know.
Like, the time is just a waste.
I don't know.
I'm not necessarily prescribing this, but I did just hear on a parenting podcast that the mom had set up a rule
where if you complain about the contents of dinner on that night,
the consequence was the next day.
It's the same thing.
I thought about it.
That's what I thought she was going to say.
No, it's rice and water day.
Oh.
And you can have, if it happens, the next day, rice and water for all and you can have if it happens the next day rice and water for all three
meals interesting they call it gratitude day if so there's a gratitude day and then and then so
they asked her how many times if you had to do it she said twice only two times because after that
you know how thankful you are was this a podcast on abusive parenting?
Like I said, I'm not necessarily prescribing Is it just plain white rice?
Yeah, I mean, white rice
White rice and water
Which, I mean, you can get through
With that for sure
If you butter up some white rice
Oh, it can be good
The kids start angling for it
On purpose
I love rice, It's so delicious.
But anyways, go on.
All right, my last pick.
This one's a little more philosophical as well.
I'm going with imposter syndrome of, like, you spend your whole life growing up,
and when I become an adult, because you look at the adults, they have the answers.
Like, they're the ones that take care of everything.
They know what they're doing i will
eventually grow into that and then you realize oh no you're like no i'm actually still that child i
know more things now but i don't have the confidence in in the answers for my children that
i thought you would have that i thought i would. I thought my parents had. It's also that realization of like, oh, holy crap, my parents are just people.
Yeah, they're just kids that are older too.
You don't unlock the wisdom box at a certain age.
Yeah, and so it's bizarre when you get to a certain age of realizing that aha moment.
It's never going to show up.
You're still going to have tons of things that you're expected to know how to do,
but you just don't know how to do it i think i do think we all feel kind of like big kids still i definitely do yeah but we're all we're all adults yes but then you look in the mirror you
go oh man you look tired is it a bunch of kids pretending to be adults yes is that what we are
that is exactly what the entire world is it's all kids some of them are just older
that's it all right all right so for my final pick i have uh the job the weight gain the no
summer vacation there's a couple in contention here which one do i go with i want to leave one
for jason that i think he could go with.
But if he doesn't, it'll be funny anyways.
So I think I am going to go with not enough time.
Sure.
And that could mean a couple different things.
That could mean on the long scale.
That's why pausing is an ultimate superpower.
On the long scale, you have less time in life.
Right.
Presumably.
Not that anybody couldn't go at any time, but you got less time in life right presumably not that anybody couldn't go at any time but you got
less time on average and in your day you just feel like you got less time by the time you get
done with all these let me go through the bills responsibilities uh you're tired you've done the
you get to the end of the day and and the amazing thing is you're like i finally have time i'm gonna
do everything yes as soon as you're ready to do everything you thought you were going to do.
That's why the TV goes on.
Because you're like, man.
If I could lay here.
I can't do anything else.
Like sleeping, but not with my eyes open.
Entertain me, box.
All right, Jason.
Let's see what you go with for your final pick.
All right.
This one.
Man, I could go so.
I've still got so many things on my list that I love
like going to the DMV
which I won't draft but that is an adult
problem when's the last time you were there
oh it's been forever I will do anything to not
they have reduced the
requirement for you to be there as often
I haven't been to the DMV
it's been a good 10 years I think since
I haven't been there
I think we changed my
wife's name there or something.
You can do a lot online now, but go on.
We're doing great work over there.
Eliminating them. Let's eliminate that.
There's two
here.
I'm going to go with...
One of these is just for
men, and so I will save that
for the undrafted gyms.
Instead, I'm going to go with losing cool.
Yeah.
Losing touch with what's cool?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
You're not hip anymore.
Yeah, you're just-
What's that like?
And you can't-
Talk to me in one year, Mike.
Oh, I'm not cool. Because you can't get it back, right? Right. Like, you can't- to me in one year mike oh i'm not cool because you can't get it back right
right like you can't you then you're the least cool if you're trying to get it kind of exactly
like what you were saying where you realize you're you know you're you're still a kid
but on the opposite side because kids look at us and it's like well you can't be cool anymore right
you just can't like it doesn't
matter how cool you are you're just an old person trying to be cool you yeah exactly you're an old
person trying to be cool you can't be cool anymore and i think that's the way grandma with her
leather jacket that's the way to put it is can't be cool anymore yeah like once you're an adult at
a certain age it's just off the table i agree i. That's funny. Was the other one the hair-related one?
Yes.
I would push back.
The ladies have to deal with balding as well.
No, no, no.
Absolutely.
No, no, no, no, no.
Mine specifically is hair growth patterns,
meaning the hair stops on the head but starts on the back.
It starts on the feet.
I'm probably 10 years away from it, like, completely growing out of my ears.
Yeah.
Just to the degree that I've got to really take care of business.
I mean, what happens with the hair?
It's very strange.
It's graying and all sorts of, it's just like the hair stinks.
The extra hair growth is like, what is...
Yeah, why did it stop for so long?
What is the genetic...
Instigator?
Help.
Because you're older, so your body thinks you'll be colder.
You won't be able to handle the ice age as well, so now we need to get more hair on you?
It makes sense why my hair stops growing.
Right?
My follicles are dying.
I'm getting older.
Whatever.
Yeah.
Why am I starting to grow new hair in places that don't need hair?
They didn't die.
They just relocated.
Yeah.
Exactly.
They're like, I don't want to be up here anymore.
Maximum total hair.
No, a lot of what you had was on my list too, Jay.
We were aligned there.
I didn't have much more.
I mean, taxes could have been another.
I felt like bills and taxes is almost the same thing.
Closer to death.
I joked about that.
Death is on my list because you're actually all around it now.
You get to an age where all of a sudden your parents will eventually not be around and
you just see it more.
And of course, you are closer to the door.
Yeah.
No question.
Making appointments.
Oh, I hate.
That's a good one.
I hate making appointments.
Your mom and dad always did that stuff for you.
Yeah, the reason why I don't take care of certain things of my life and my physical hygiene,
it's not because I don't want to do it.
It's because I don't want to call those people and set things up.
I would love to go to the doctor.
Yeah.
I don't want to make a doctor's appointment.
That part is a nightmare.
There's the imposter syndrome again.
You thought your parents loved it.
When you were growing up, oh, they're so good at making appointments.
No, they didn't.
I have on my list, you have dinners that you hate that is the bane of your existence that you just have to do because it's one of your responsibilities.
Laundry.
That's on my side.
Like, as a kid.
Yeah, it just showed up clean. Yeah, you just have an unlimited supply of clean clothes it was great it's really the like it's
the folding because the actually the laundry process doesn't bother me it's that you when
you have to get everything out of the dryer and you're like how is everything so my wife offered
me ten dollars to fold her laundry yesterday she walked in the room
and i was like laying down on the phone and she goes 10 bucks if you want to do this and she
dumped it out all right uh there you go we'll do a best parts of being an adult i promise there are
some uh pretty cool yeah we can maybe get the four rounds from that yeah maybe what did we learn today well i learned what imposter syndrome was
and i totally relate to it yeah i do we feel like you never belong i still feel like i'm a little
kid i don't feel much different mentally than when i was 20 yes and i'm almost 40 i learned
i didn't learn a lot in the last 18 years.
I learned that Mike threw a golf ball in his face.
Oh, that was brilliant.
And let's, did I learn anything?
Probably not.
I mean, I've learned definitively if I could stop time,
I'm not doing anything good except other than sleeping.
That's fair.
You just want 12 more hours in the day too. That would be fine.
Someone's like, you look rested.
Ooh, that's a compliment.
Hey, tell your friends

next week. Something like that. Goodbye.
