Starting point is 00:00:00 What happens when three buffoons Give Life Advice, explore on realistic situations, and give random topics more thought than they probably deserve? It's The Spitballers Podcast with Andy, Mike, and Jason. A tootie, a poopie, a peepie, a cockatoooo-doo. I... I... No.
Starting point is 00:00:30 Mike. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't. You loved it. You can't bless it because of the end of the, uh, oh, oh. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It was a caca do-do. Almost like a rooster yet. No, that part's fine. It was the afterwards. You didn't like it? The kind of little giggle thing. If you had done it as a rooster.
Starting point is 00:00:49 Oh, a cockado do-do. Yeah. Oh, man. Shoot. We would have gained at least 50 subs. All right. Next time. Next time. But to be fair, I tried to, look, I brought people a scat. They want to scat stupid. I still did it. And I did a spitballer's style, which was full of pee and poo. Yeah, that's what the people want.
Starting point is 00:01:10 It's a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's over, though. You're done. You're done for a while. I got three more weeks. Three more weeks. Until you have to do it again.
Starting point is 00:01:19 It's not that bad. It's not that bad, dude. Remember he almost gave up, like, real recently. Yeah. He almost traded you like a very short radio call. for a super long episode recording. I know. I know.
Starting point is 00:01:34 People have no idea what you're talking about. But yeah, it was like, we have a radio spot every week, and we have an extra. It takes maybe 10 minutes. We have an extra podcast every week. And he was like, uh, lamenting the pod. And I'm like, I will trade you the radio. And he thought about it. You did think about it.
Starting point is 00:01:50 Sometimes things are just a weird guy. Didn't you go to college for improv? Yeah, yeah. Shouldn't this be where you thrive? Well, I didn't go to college for improv. I did improv in college. It doesn't matter. Were you part of the groundlings?
Starting point is 00:02:02 I was part of the program. I was never a groundling. And the groundlings were an improv group. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold on. Okay, so explain that. The groundings? What happened in one of these improv sessions that ruined you for?
Starting point is 00:02:14 Explain. Because you don't like confrontation either. Explain the groundlings. So the groundlings, there's basically two major, like, comedy programs in the United States of America that feed into. Improv though. Yeah, improv and sketch. Second city in Chicago and the groundlings in Los Angeles. Angeles. I grew up doing the groundlings in Los Angeles, like went through their school
Starting point is 00:02:34 program. You go through all these different, you know, advanced. And you're not on Saturday night life. I thought he was. I thought he was going to be there. I told my dad in high school, I guarantee you I will see him on Saturday. To be fair. And he's not. There was there was a point where I thought the same. But to be fair, I'm not yet on Saturday night. True. That's true. But out of the late 40s and 50s. Please look up. the oldest new person When was Nate Bargazzi?
Starting point is 00:03:03 At what age was Nate Bargotsy first on Saturday Live? Wait, you're talking about hosting? Yeah, I'm talking about hosting. You're dark right.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Okay, old people can host. Yeah. And that's what I'm going to do. I don't know about bald people though. Your chance of hosting is just as good as mine. I still got a bit up there.
Starting point is 00:03:17 No, no, no, no, no. The three of us are going to host. Yeah, if you host, that means that I'm hosting and that means that. Yeah. Who's in? Are you guys in?
Starting point is 00:03:24 Yes. We'll carry. We'll carry. Mr. Cant's Gats. going to carry? I think Mike and I've got it on log. Yeah. What if the monologue, they're like, you know it would be hilarious. If you said something
Starting point is 00:03:33 funny that you hadn't planned. But anyway, welcome in everybody. So you went through the groundlings. Yeah, so you there's a Sunday company that goes before I finished the advance class. I was on my way to that and then I just never went back. So I went to call it.
Starting point is 00:03:49 Maybe all the improv and the scat reminds him of what could have been. Do you do you regret doing that? Sometimes. I've got a pretty good life, so it's hard to have regrets. But there are sometimes, like, there's, there's been. You ever regret doing the scat? There's every time.
Starting point is 00:04:05 Every time. The scat is stupid. We shouldn't do it. It's not funny. Oh, here come the people. Jason. Jason. I know.
Starting point is 00:04:12 What? Nate Bargettze. Oh, no. He was younger. He was 44 when he first hosted. I still got time. So your clock is counting. Lorne.
Starting point is 00:04:24 Lauren. Loz and I host a spitballers podcast. We have a. comedy podcast here doing we get dozens of listeners you get hundreds of thousands of listeners how dare you Mike um but Lauren we're all we are all available I will accept a solo invite yeah I will allow you to accept oh you'd be yeah and we'll watch you you'll love it I would I will crush I would not allow that to happen I will I will injure you before I allow you to go solo
Starting point is 00:04:54 I hope the first scat they do it, or the first skit they do is a scat-based. I'll crush it there. Yeah. All right. All right. We're, uh, skit-skat. We're on episode 3.43. Welcome into the spitballers life advice.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Would you rather? We're drafting things that are round, which if you're confused, you're going around life. You don't know what's round. What's not? This draft will help you. Yeah. It's a, think of, think of a circle or a sphere. Like, you know squared things probably, but this is a different category.
Starting point is 00:05:23 I started to think of things. and I got a little nervous. Yeah, I understand. Because I was like, it's, so. It's round. So stop sign? Two, two dimensionally. Oh, it can be two.
Starting point is 00:05:36 It can be two or three. Yeah, okay, that's what I got nervous. Absolutely. Did all of you go to the place in your head of two dimensions first? No, I went three dimensions first. So like a ball. Yeah, like a, yes. And then I.
Starting point is 00:05:46 Spoiler. And I know. We don't want to, we don't want to talk about any of these. No, 101, dude. One of one. A ball. Yeah, I started the first thoughts that came to mind were all three-dimensional. And then when I thought of kind of better ones, I was like, it's more 2D.
Starting point is 00:06:03 We'll get them all in there. But we'll start with them. There's one of them that is both 2D and 3D, and I am going to draft the 2D version over the 3D version. What? You'll see. People can look forward to that. What a tease. We'll do this first.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Rather. I can't stop thinking about this. I know. No one can. It's a 3D object. It's a 3D object that I am going to draft the 2D version, which is better, which is better than the 3D reality. Is this circle over a sphere? I mean, that's what 2D over 3D is. So yes, of course. I'm just thinking that it's kind of like a riddle that we get an answer to it. Get an answer. Kira from Patreon, right? It's a circle. Would you rather not be allowed? Dude, wait, hold on. Circle's undraftable, right? You can't just draft a circle or a sphere. A circle would be the 101, the 101 of things that are around a circle? I mean. I mean, is that an eligible item? I don't think, I don't think because it doesn't exist as an independent object, probably not.
Starting point is 00:07:13 I don't know. Mike is enjoying it. I mean, that's a really funny idea. Things are around, I'll take a circle. I mean you can tell you got the one-on-one you earned it Kira from Patreon Would you rather not be allowed to have a cell phone
Starting point is 00:07:26 at all or have a cell phone but it has no silent mode and is always on full volume and must be carried with you anytime you leave the house Okay It's funny because I was like
Starting point is 00:07:38 Oh but then I could just like turn it up But that's the whole point You can't turn it off You can't mute it No vibrate mode I mean you get notifications Right and if you got If you got notifications
Starting point is 00:07:49 The youths May I don't understand this And I don't know if you guys were there My first cell phone ever Was Silent or ring There was no Vibrate
Starting point is 00:08:07 Yeah no no Vibrate came later Yeah you were silent I'm just saying like to the youths Like this was a real thing Ringtones were a real thing Ringtones were a real thing Because this was pretty vibrate
Starting point is 00:08:17 Do you know much money I spent on ringtone You couldn't you you did you had to have your phone on volume you had to yeah the only time you would turn it off of full volume is like if you're in a movie or a theater and imagine imagine you get one ringtone for one and it back in the day we used to there was a service that we that at least I used that you had to go and you had to purchase the the the popular song and you had to you had to buy a license for it and you could it was like oh man Like, for me, back in the day, look, my wife's name is Amber, 311. Oh, yeah. Had a very popular song. It's great song. Back when we were dating. And I was like, oh, that's going to be her song.
Starting point is 00:09:00 Oh, of course it is. But that can't be my ringtone for everybody. No, just her. And so it's like, I go to my. I go to my best friend. I'm like, what it? What's, I buy the ring for that? Oh, Chris Cross.
Starting point is 00:09:10 Yeah, so now imagine. It's going to make you jump. Imagine Nick calls me. And it's, and it's the Chris ring. This can't. So I'm just in. Jolly old St. Nick. I got it.
Starting point is 00:09:19 I am. I am in the red for ringtones, guys. But you had the coolest ringtones for everybody. I certainly did. And then they were like... And then your phone started vibrating. They invented vibrating. And then you never bought a ringtone again.
Starting point is 00:09:31 They only invented vibrate mode for people under 50. That's true. Over 50 still are unaware of it. Because the only people you will ever hear a ringtone from... Or kids. Children with phones don't... They probably shouldn't have them. If you hear a ringtone, higher or lower, 50%, you want to punch that person in the face.
Starting point is 00:09:56 Way higher. Thank you. Way higher than 50%. Thank you. I feel bad for them because I know how hard it's going to be for them to even figure out how to, like, answer it. I just, what is your phone possibly doing? My phone hasn't been on ring in 15 years. When I hear, when I hear, since the invention of your phone shakes.
Starting point is 00:10:17 When I. I hear a cell phone ring, ever. If I just hear that sound, my first thought is, what the heck? Like, why is it happening? Like, there's an emergency. They don't need, do they still do, like, at the movie theater, like, please silence yourself?
Starting point is 00:10:33 I think they do. And Nicole Kidman shows up, and she's like, keep a quiet. We come to this place. A special friend of all. Dude, they're still running that day. Yeah, they are. They are.
Starting point is 00:10:45 And then 27 trailers and then the movie. and some post-commercial. No, wait, you're not complete about the trailer is, you either don't have a phone or you. You want more trailers? I'm so, I'm so. You're into as many, is that because it's an escape? So you might as well just ride it out. Yeah, because if I'm at the movie, I'm either with my children who are being mostly
Starting point is 00:11:05 entertained, mostly quiet, I want this to go as long as possible. Or I am without my children. And I want this to go as long as possible. Yeah. I always said. More trailers. When I worked at a movie theater, the trailers were just starting to pile up. It was just the beginning of, oh, we can just add another one.
Starting point is 00:11:23 Oh, we can add another one. It used to be five minutes, maybe 10. Yeah, I would say like, you get 30 minutes of trailer. Yeah, you do. And with some commercials in there and then like Nicole Kim and, you know, speech. But I've always, I always wondered like under hidden camera how cool it would be to like run them forever. How long? Just keep going.
Starting point is 00:11:41 Run them for as long as you can. Oh, that would be a good social experiment. When do people go ask? hey guys I think your trailers like you can't repeat it. At least an hour they'll let it go so long as you don't repeat them. Yeah no repeated trailers but it's like it just they just keep coming until. One and a half
Starting point is 00:11:57 hours you will still have someone sitting in there. To be honest they're probably just entertained. Mike's like oh yeah yeah can you say an hour and a half? At this point they have their cell phone and then a two hour movie with their notes app open being sorry kids. Would you also accept commercials for as long as possible?
Starting point is 00:12:13 I would accept in a theater one one 30 second commercial in between every trailer. Wow. I'm out on the commercials. Oh, I don't want the commercials. I know that a trailer is a commercial. We come to a special place, Mike. We come to this place where heartbreak feels good. All right. And then her crazy long figures. The cell phone with no silent mode. I'll take the ringer. Will you? I'm not living with that. What about that? Would you uninstall a lot of apps? Because the notifications will be crazy. I'll turn a lot of notifications off. Yeah, you would have to monitor it that way. I'll take the
Starting point is 00:12:46 silent mode that's not an option that's not what we're asking you can either not have a phone or you can no no no no you're not you're not hearing me oh no no phone i will take the silent mode oh so you're going to get the phone but you're going to turn it on silent yeah you're going to is that allowed that is not allowed of this question yeah it's a more of a would you rather question i got a question yeah yeah does everyone else in my family have to have a cell phone um no that's That's your choice. I imagine life. Life is the same as it is now.
Starting point is 00:13:17 You just have to make this choice. Perfection. No phone. Okay. All right. Unbelievable. No phone. If I, maybe we should just get rid of phones altogether.
Starting point is 00:13:25 Oh, just wild. There should be a movie where they just get evaporated. Wild, free. No one knows. It's the 80s. No one knows what you're doing. Man, they are starting to put back. You know what?
Starting point is 00:13:35 We're okay. Listen, they're putting back the traditional, plugged in landline style phones into homes. I've heard. For kids. No, they're not. They're absolutely. They're for kids. And they can only dial numbers that you specify.
Starting point is 00:13:50 They're still, they look like the old phones, but they're more technologically advanced inside. But they look like the standardized quartered phone. I've heard. And they only exist in the house. And you can call your friends on it. And I love it. I don't need my kids in the room at seven talking to their friends all day long. One of the funniest reels, TikToks, whatever you want to call it, that I've ever seen was.
Starting point is 00:14:14 it's a lady and she's a younger lady. She's like if they could if they just had a phone that was you only used it in your home. Yeah. And she just goes on and describes a landline
Starting point is 00:14:30 and then it and then it is it is spliced with a guy who's like you're describing a landline how old am I that like the technology has gone so it's coming all the way that's gone so far away that now people are reinventing the idea.
Starting point is 00:14:46 Which is hilarious. That there would just be, there's a phone that you could only use in your house. What if there was just a physical book that had everybody's information on their phone numbers that we could look up? See, that didn't get that out of here.
Starting point is 00:14:59 So the name of it is tin can. It's called tin can. The first two batches already sold out. Hmm. I just sent it to you, Jason. There must be at least 20 of those. It's a super magical Wi-Fi landline for kids. No apps, no text,
Starting point is 00:15:13 male games. Just an old school landline, baby. That should have come with the 60 foot cord I had in my house growing up. Yeah. Oh man, I had a long... Did you have a long cord? Oh, man. The day we got the like the 100 foot, where you'd spin in it and it would wrap you up. Oh, that thing
Starting point is 00:15:29 was a great in theory item that was the most impractical thing. Oh, wait, wait. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Tin can. The Wi-Fi. The internet phone, everybody. tin can comes with free unlimited calls to other tin can't
Starting point is 00:15:48 only to other tin can't using the internet you can make free phone calls to other people who have your proprietary phone get out of here wow get out of here well it's better than charging for it I'm surprised they don't charge for it
Starting point is 00:16:04 you can call anyone over the internet for free oh over the internet you're using your internet we're not paying it like they are using your home internet to make their phone calls and they're like, but we're going to charge for that. What? That doesn't blow me
Starting point is 00:16:20 away at all. Oh, man. You're not getting it. You had to pay for a landline before. But you're already paying for internet. Now imagine you paid for the landline, right? The old landline. Yeah. But it runs through your internet that you're paying for. They're like, well, we're just going to work through that. It's 30 bucks a month on top of your internet. That's like when people are stealing cable. Well, I mean, it is free. no it's not you have to have internet oh you're saying to your yeah your own internet yes yeah call friends and family for 99 a month and last night first month free last i checked internet
Starting point is 00:16:53 not free no no it's almost there though where it should be all right um dylan from the website what two pieces of poor advice would you rather reinforce as a standard in your child's life which one of the following three do you eliminate so we are so there's three you eliminate one of them and you reinforce one of them or what is the answer there, Al? You have to reinforce two of them. So you're basically picking the worst one here. Okay. You should have ordered it that way. When in doubt,
Starting point is 00:17:22 do it tomorrow. I live that way. I live that way. The speed limit is just a recommendation. Jason also lives by my... I live that life, but this is different for my kids. And 100% of gamblers quit before they win. Well, but that's true. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:17:39 A hundred percent. Wait, that seems like good advice. Two of these three are true. 100% of gamblers quit before they win. I don't even understand that it was. I don't understand what that means. 100%. Is that how it's supposed to be worded?
Starting point is 00:17:51 Yeah. They're saying they quit just before they win, so keep going. Don't quit. You guys don't gamble. You're trying to say, oh, okay, I get it now. 100% of gamblers quit before they. Yeah. Oh, so if you don't want to be a gambler.
Starting point is 00:18:03 Right before you win. Yes. So that's what that means. Let's say you put $100 into your gamble fund. You get down to zero. Your gamble fund. I budget for my gambling to be responsible with my losses. 1-800 gambler debt, whatever it is.
Starting point is 00:18:19 You put in the money, you get down to zero, and you're like, I should be done. I'm due. You know what? That's what quitters say. That's what we're saying with this comment. Yeah, they can't have that piece of advice. No, it's not true. You can't win if you don't play?
Starting point is 00:18:32 Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. That's really the quote. Let me ask you this, Andy. how many pieces of gambling pieces of gambling go on my you have me intrigued
Starting point is 00:18:45 how many pieces of gambling he said it again I was straight face I was trying have you won without playing none yeah yeah yeah yeah oh he dunked on you with pieces of gambling
Starting point is 00:19:00 I have won no pieces of gambling I've never won nor lost any pieces of gambling in my life I don't know what that is. It's the toughest thing I've ever heard. Okay. Listen. Listen, how many pieces are you?
Starting point is 00:19:11 Here's a real question. Here's a little sub question beneath the question of which one you want to all the time. I think we're all keeping the win and doubt do it tomorrow one. It's the least consequential one. And it's how I truly live my own. Right. No, I get it.
Starting point is 00:19:23 And, you know, not a great, I mean, you should not procrastinate, but whatever. The speed limit one, you could die. Well, my kids could die. Oh, my gosh. When you die, I'm going to make fun of you so much. Then when you die in a car accident, Jason, which is going to be, at some point, I am going to laugh at you. I give full permission to all around me. Please cut this audio.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Yes, cut this audio, clip it up. Funeral. If I die in a car accident where I was speeding. Which is all possible accidents you could be in. Probably true. I give permission to dunk on me, to make fun of me, to give my apology because I am not there to do it. but the reason I give this so willingly is because it will never happen. Now, do you realize that the line 100% of gamblers quit before they went also?
Starting point is 00:20:14 Like, I mean, that does kind of link up with the speed limit is just a recommendation. It is a gamble every single time. It's not gambling for me. It is. No, it is. I am such a good drag. You're just really good at winning. Oh, is that the key for gambling? Yes.
Starting point is 00:20:28 Be good at winning. Be better at cards. Let me ask you the sub question, though. if both of these went into place. The house never wins. If all kids sped or all kids started gambling in their teens. I would much rather than... What is the worst outcome as they grow?
Starting point is 00:20:48 I think speeding. Speeding is for sure. Way worse. Because... Way worse. You can come back from having a monetary issue. You can't always come back from having a vehicular accident. Vehicular manslaughter.
Starting point is 00:21:02 Yeah. I mean, you can come back in like five to ten. Are we all getting rid of that one then? Yeah. I've got kids. I don't want to speed. I got kids. I got a daughter drive on it. Where is the life advice on arrogance? Is there any life advice on? Shouldn't be. Public pronouncements and yeah. Sounds like a quitter thing. The Malcolm Gladwell, like the 10,000 hours, like I feel like you get to a point. And you and we'll go past it. Oh my gosh. We'll go past it. We'll go past it. So hold on. So the Malcolm Gladwell. He really thinks he's better than everybody. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Not everybody. Malcolm Gladwell.
Starting point is 00:21:38 I'm not a race car driver. Accidents happen not because of you all the time. They just happen worse because of you. The idea is it takes 10,000 hours to become a master. And that's truly mastered. So all of us in, look, we're all. We've all driven 10,000 hours. We're all old. Some of us are older than others.
Starting point is 00:21:56 Josh 20,000 hours. Yeah, Josh is way older. And so is a good point. I don't know. I don't start lumping. I know you lump me in with Al with the height thing. It's a good joke because he's a little tiny man. You're with Josh.
Starting point is 00:22:08 And I'm 5.11. I'm not with Josh on age. You're both mid-40s, aren't you? No, I'm not mid-40s. I still have time to beat Bargazzi. But how long until you're mid-40s? We're lumping you in May. The clock is dead.
Starting point is 00:22:23 In May, you're lumped. You're lumped. If you're in the same category of phrase, like Mike and I early 40s, all early 40s? By the time I'm mid-40s, he's late. Oh no, you would be. Are you 48 in January? Oh, Josh is late 40s. He's already late 40s. I will never, I'm closer to mid than late, but in January, yes, but you're in one of them. You're not close to either. I'm in one of them.
Starting point is 00:22:45 How old are you? I'm 47. You're in your late 40s. No, no, 47's not. No, it is. That's mid. Oh, no, 44 to 46 is mid. 44, 45, 46 is mid.
Starting point is 00:22:54 You really? 400%. Because there's only three in each category. Yep. 41, 42. No, no, no, no. No. No, no.
Starting point is 00:23:00 No, no. 40, well, I guess 45 is mid, but I'm saying 46 and 47, mid. mid, 48, 49, late. So here's, here's how it actually works. No, because when you're 50, you're not early or late. You're in your 50s. It goes 433. No, you're early 50s.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Exactly. It goes 433. You don't say I'm in my early 50s. You don't say I'm 50. No, you don't say, but you are. But you are, if you have to say, am I in my heart. You're not helping right now. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:23:25 I'm telling the truth. If you're 50, 51, 51, 52, 53. So it's the first of four years of each decade. You get four years in the earlys, three years in the mid. 50 is not early. 50 is 50. So if that's true, then we still are correct that it's 3, 3, 3 from the rest. So it's 3 in the early, 1, 2, and 3, 3 in the mid, 4, 5, and 6, and 3 in the late. Yeah, no, you're not going to catch Josh.
Starting point is 00:23:54 So I will never be in his category. He's already in the late. So Josh is late 40s. He's in the late 40s. He's in the late 40s. I'm in my early 40s. I'm in my early 40s. I am in my early. The point being, you think you have driven more than all of us in an amazing speeder. We're all 10,000 hours in, right? We are all well more than 10,000 hours in. So we're all experts.
Starting point is 00:24:19 We are all experts at driving. Which one of us most recently backed into somebody at the office? Yeah, oh, that is a really good question. You have that part of the driving? I'm going to go around the room. Yeah, let's go around the room and check. Jeremy, did you recently back into someone? Never have.
Starting point is 00:24:34 Okay, Josh. nope but have you have you ever no okay i'll go i'll go to me mike have you ever uh recently or just you know just ever backed into someone no i have not andy not recently have you ever yes hmm hmm okay that's a strike jason have you recently backed into someone's car who works in the same building in the last not within the last two days i have not backed into anyone within the last four Last 48 hours? Okay.
Starting point is 00:25:07 No, but that's not part of driving. Okay. Almost. Almost all of us here. He doesn't have 10,000 hours backwards. He's an expert going forward. All of us here have 10,000 hours driving. Jeremy doesn't because he spends a lot of his sleeping.
Starting point is 00:25:20 It's also been in a ridiculous quantity of accident. Yes. Yeah, because he sleeps what he drives. It's kind of a problem. He's almost got 10,000 hours of sleep driving. I have 10,000 hours of speeding. Speeding. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Now you do. Mike, I think you've got like that's a good point. Two hours of speed driver. No, no, no, no, no, no. I've driven behind you, man. Yeah, Mike apparently was a speed demon. Yeah. And, but the entire time I've known him, which is over 20 years now.
Starting point is 00:25:46 Yeah. He is the most conservative driver. I don't know an old person. Which I feel very safe with you in the, when you're driving. Here's the thing. Slow drivers are dangerous. Here's the thing. The police show up and you get a ticket where, okay, here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:26:01 Here's where they got me. They got me in one of those bull crap. the speed limit drops by 15 for approximately a city block and they literally park a cop right there to get to get you oh man can we go around the room again hold on just hold on and and the way that this the way i got pulled over was a i'm all alone on the road this is this is a full true story i'm on the i'm on a freeway i'm all alone a cop comes behind me turns his lights off i'm like turn his lights on and i'm like why not just go around me dude what are you doing oh you know it was for you and so i move over and then he moves over and then he pulls me over i'm like you're speeding and he's like do you know how fast you're going i'm like uh the speed limit i don't know no he's like no back there you were going you were going over i'm like what do you yeah no what are you talking about you're and he's like he's like that small section it drops down it's like yeah it's a speed trap i'm like are you
Starting point is 00:27:03 kidding you don't have 10,000 hours speeding you don't know that go to go to dozer's alley papa josh okay okay have you had a speeding ticket in the last five 10 years no okay you don't count uh al have you had a speeding ticket in the last five years yeah yeah yeah a few of them andy have you had a speeding too last five years have you no wait what was the story you were just telling me that was years ago okay but you got one yeah okay all i know was in the last 10 years. No. In the last decade, I haven't.
Starting point is 00:27:35 I have not in the last decade. You're getting one today. You're getting one to day. I will never get a speeding ticket. Okay. As long as I live. That's a great story. Let's go back to Ducers, Cam.
Starting point is 00:27:45 Jeremy, Josh, have you ever had a car impounded for speeding? I have not. Josh? No. Andy. No, no, sir. Me? Definitely not.
Starting point is 00:27:54 Jason. Not in the last 10 years. Because I, Mike pulled out the position. I crossed the 10,000 hours of speeding. He was still an amateur speeder. I was an amateur speeder. I didn't know where the speed traps were. I know the speed traps.
Starting point is 00:28:10 I am very aware. This might need a parental advisory on today's show. Kids do not speed. Legit. Five over. Five to seven over. Five to seven over. There's a speed of traffic safety element.
Starting point is 00:28:23 Yeah. There really is. It's five to seven. That's it. Not on the 101. It is 15 over. You better be going 15 over. You're not.
Starting point is 00:28:31 safe or they're what is wrong with our state we're not good of driving especially not when it rains those speed limit signs they're like they're not limits they're more like minimums you know what I mean like they really are if you drive one mile under that
Starting point is 00:28:47 you better put your hazards on if you're doing 100% you better have a mattress tied to the top of your car so broken here yeah we're going to get rid of the speeding one we'll keep everybody alive and we'll move on and take a break here and get into some life advice Spidmallers to the rescue.
Starting point is 00:29:16 All right. Our first life advice question comes from Kurt. And even seeing the first couple of words of this question makes me, I have a follow-up for my own life and I'm going to need help after we help Kurt. My parents-in-law do not have air conditioning. No. No central air, no window units, nothing. They better live in Alaska.
Starting point is 00:29:34 They live in Michigan, which can reach 90s in the summer, mid-80s inside the house. Michigan can get the 90s? Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. It gets that hot in Michigan? It can. Yeah, yeah. And then the humidity goes up. But no, no, no, hold on.
Starting point is 00:29:47 It can go up to the 90s. And then in the winter. Yeah, yeah, it's like negative 100,000. I thought we lived in a bad state. No, you've been thinking that for a while. There's not a lot of good ones. All right. I have learned that that is actually the truth.
Starting point is 00:30:01 So I hate Arizona. I hate living here. Yeah, you've said it for many years. You know, I would love to be a snowbird where I live here, you know, in the winters that are beautiful. We need a new word for someone who lives in a different quadrant in all four parts of the year. But so I really like, I genuinely don't think I like Arizona. It's like almost anything about it. And as I've grown older and older and older, traveled more, I realize, like, we don't live in the best place.
Starting point is 00:30:27 But we do not live in the worst. there are some terrible places that people just live. Oklahoma? Yeah. People just live there. Like of their own choice. They live there. The weather sucks you around.
Starting point is 00:30:42 We got tornadoes. We just lost 200 listeners. Yeah. They don't have podcasts. We're fine. You know what? It's crazy. I knew these people that we like, we got this 3G?
Starting point is 00:30:55 We saw recently. They sold everything they owned. They were like, of the ones they bought a big RV and they're just like, we're just going to live out of the RV. They spent two years. They had no, they could live anywhere they wanted to. They drove around the country for two years that came back to Arizona. That's really good. So to the point of like everything's got a whart unless it's Hawaii or like SoCal. But then it's like the taxes and stuff. But anyways, this person, Michigan, summer 90s. You're blowing my mind here.
Starting point is 00:31:22 Mid-80s in the house. They always request we stay with them when we come to town. Acceptable. Am I in the wrong to stay at a hotel? and how would I explain to that to them without telling them their house is uninhabitable? So the reason I have this question is like my parents keep their house. Oh no, Papa Skids? They keep it warmer than I keep my house.
Starting point is 00:31:46 The skids are liquid. Not completely uninhabitable like this. They have air conditioning. My mom gets cold and my dad doesn't care. and so if I get over there the first thing I do is try to like I throw a coin to the corner of the room so they both look that direction and I sneak over to and I try to turn it down a click or two but it's I mean the gap is big you're like I turn it down 12 degrees it's still too hot the gap is very large and I can't go too far I'm going to push it and then they can turn it back up you can always put a jacket on not enough jackets I think my mom is always cold there's also blankets but this situation I feel like I feel like that's The real catch here is if it's your parents, it's not a problem. If it's your parents, you just tell them and you do it. It's the parents in law factor.
Starting point is 00:32:35 Yeah. And really, my advice is you've got to get your wife to do the heavy lifting here. It's her parents. Yeah. It's her fault. Now, what do you think about the idea? Buying them in air conditioner? Yeah, there is that.
Starting point is 00:32:53 But you guys, I mean, you guys are aware of the theory, B-Y-O-A-C, that there's a sub-sect of people who truly believe there are lizard people living among us. Right. Yeah, yeah. Like, that's, like, you guys... There are actually some people who... You understand that this thing. Actually believe that. Start... They live in Oklahoma. Start propagating that. And then be like, I'm not coming to your terrarium. You lizard person.
Starting point is 00:33:21 That's one possible avenue. I mean, that's an option. I don't think it's a good one, though. Um, why not? I don't think it's not believable. Like, put it this way. You know how you just establish the fact that there are some people Yeah. Who worry about lizard. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't care about their opinions.
Starting point is 00:33:39 So now. Right, but I am, I am inferring or implying, I don't know how to use those words. You that they, that they are lizard people. Which means you are one of those people that believe there's lizard people. Sure. I no longer care about your opinion. So when you apply or infer, nobody knows. I no longer have to go to a house that has no air conditioning.
Starting point is 00:33:55 Well, here's a deal. Michigan is only 90s in like probably a couple weeks, maybe two months out of the year. So you've got a good chance that most of the year you're going to be fine. 80s with humidity, though, is a problem. Humidity is a problem. You could fall on the sword and say your B.O. is too bad. You can fall on the sort like, look. Like your own.
Starting point is 00:34:14 My lizard people advice is bad, but just telling them they have B.O. Yes. No, no, that I have. He's saying that you say, I've got B.O. I have B.O. Yes. I sweat and I'm going to stink. Oh, you're, oh, you're falling on the sword.
Starting point is 00:34:30 Yeah. Okay. I would love to be there. We prefer to stay in a hotel because I have really bad body odor and I need to be cool at night and I feel self-conscious. Yeah, the wife. Maybe that's too good of a real answer. The wife can just say, my husband's a baby.
Starting point is 00:34:44 Yeah. My husband's a baby. We, last time we were there, we were upstairs in the room. He made me bring a bowl of ice to put his feet in. Yeah. Like, I can't do this anymore. We're going to stay at a hotel. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:54 I grow up and get an AC. every that's the one funny thing we are in the hottest state that there is yeah it's boiling yes but it's also how you live like everybody lives in that which means that like everybody has a pool everybody has good air conditioning every restaurant has good air conditioning it my wife came out here from pennsylvania not used to air conditioning froze her butt off in every store restaurant honestly i do that too like we over we over correct for the heat which means that we have no humidity we're already a dry heat and we have no humidity with the AC so like any humidity bothers us and we get really temperamental under like slight changes
Starting point is 00:35:30 of temperature but it's like if you go to some states where it's on the border there's a lot of places even hotels that don't have AC do you know what I mean like it's right on the edge of being um you know Colorado for example you can go up to Colorado in the Rockies not everybody has ACA no no no first but it can get hot first time I ever went to New York New York is insane what are you doing New York gets plenty hot for every place to have AC. But it was the same in London, same in Paris, where it's like, I think these older cities.
Starting point is 00:36:02 No, no, New York City does not get to be like, we're old compared to London. Right, right. But it's like those places get hot enough that every, the invention is done. They made it. They made AC. Like it's been a hundred years now.
Starting point is 00:36:17 We have a solution for this. Yeah, it costs a little bit of money. So does building a house. You know what I mean? Like the property, when you buy a property, it costs money. I mean, there are like million-dollar places in New York that cost a lot real estate-wise that don't have air conditioning. That's insane.
Starting point is 00:36:35 I feel like I want to have another follow AC conversation because we answered this question. But here's the other question. I feel like all of our parents' generation grew up where every single degree on the thermostat, obviously it saves you money to not run your air conditioning. But it's not like, like, and I understand wanting to save money in. try to play that. I mean, we all try to do the right time of use plan and stuff like that. You can super cool. But what gets me the most between the generational gap is that they're willing to be uncomfortable permanently for a small amount of savings where everything else in the world costs. You'll go spend $10 on a Starbucks. Yeah, yeah. You'll go spend $15 on a
Starting point is 00:37:16 movie ticket. You'll go to the restaurant and pay, 20. You'll go to the restaurant and pay, you know, whatever, $100 for two people. but we're going to live uncomfortably 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I get it. You do get it? How much do you spend? To save $1,500 in a year? 60 bucks?
Starting point is 00:37:36 Do not hear what I'm... On the month, I mean? I'm not saying I'm okay with it. I get it because it's like, this is the area that you can control the amount. I can't control how much the restaurant costs. I guess I wish I would... I'd rather do the trade-off somewhere else is what I'm saying. Yes.
Starting point is 00:37:51 From a quality of life sample. Our generation has learned that. like the the I feel like the joke about the dad and the thermostat like that's a legendary joke that that is done it's like it's in so many movies I can think of the the family guy joke of uh the daughter turns down the thermostat and then the dad shows up and he's like who touched the thermostat and then it's like all the dads from the neighborhood that's the joke they all they're like my thermostat thing went off it's like we don't do that anymore we're done with that we're done with that we're done with that we're done being lizard people and we don't live in 80 degrees and then like we're wait oh you know when it's 7 p.m. I'm going to turn the air down. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm going to live in comfort and I'm going to cut somewhere else. I'm going to cut somewhere else. The old trope in American TV and you'll see this if people watch American TV is that the dads don't let anyone else touch the thermostat. That's what I mean. That's the trope. Yeah, that's the joke.
Starting point is 00:38:49 No one touches it but me. No. And if my kids are like, oh, dad, I turn the thermostat down. I'm oh thank God thank you my kid I think the only time my kids have ever touched our thermostat is it turning it up
Starting point is 00:39:02 because it's too cold yeah they're like what are you doing dad it's freezing in here all right uh bret from Patreon my wife insists that kitchen hand towels don't need to be washed that often
Starting point is 00:39:13 I think that they very quickly become germ sponges how often should I should hand towels be washed is it a set amount of time or a certain number of hand dries Okay. I understand this question. If this is for dishes, right? This is, this is in the kitchen. It's a hand towel. Okay, so this is only being used to wipe hands, not dry dishes.
Starting point is 00:39:35 I would just, I, that's frequently put maybe like over the handle of the dishwasher. Right, but that's the dish towel. That's what I'm saying. The hand towel hangs on the dishwasher. That's literally what I just said. Oh, I'm sorry. That's literally the words that just used. In my head, I was hearing. Were you thinking it like faucet? Like in front. Oh, Over the faucet. By the sink. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We only have one.
Starting point is 00:39:56 It hangs on our dishwasher. You don't have two. So you don't have a dish towel and a hand towel. No, they get kind of both used. Okay, no, now we've got a situation. I think most people, and let's, again, all we're doing today is pulling this room. We have, like, one little hanging towel there. We've got a decorative one that couldn't dry anything from anything.
Starting point is 00:40:17 Too thin. It's like, it's like a cute tea thing on the oven or whatever. It spreads water around. Right, exactly. but we've got one like purposeful towel that is sometimes on the dishwasher or sometimes on the kitchen sink and it's used for you would use it for hands or you only have one we only have one but so I find that hard to believe so you are implying you have a hand one and a dish one in your kitchen let me ask you a question about that Mike
Starting point is 00:40:42 hand and dish or just we have a hand towel and a dish towel and they both get used for both okay so yeah yeah that's Josh that's true exactly the same as you know of curiosity for you guys, how close is your dishwasher to your sink? Is it directly adjacent? I have to do... Oh, okay. I mean, a little bit of a lean. You have a little lean? A little lean. I wasn't sure if that maybe the double towels is
Starting point is 00:41:04 because of the gap, but in terms of how often you change it, you can't smell it. It feels like it's proportional to how many you own. You got to smell it. How many dish towels you own? Yeah, because if you have a drawer with... If you have 365, you just swap it out every day? Theoretically. But if you have a drawer that has more dish towels,
Starting point is 00:41:22 you're more able to make the transition. If you only got a couple of them, you might let them ride a little longer. See, the thing is, is where there's no way to prove any of those germs stuff. That is why, and I've shared this before, and I know it's bad. I do the dishes pretty frequently. Yeah, you're a paper towel guy. I am. You're a wasteful.
Starting point is 00:41:45 I can't believe you'd bring this up. I am a paper towel each dish guy. If I got 12 plates, I got 12 paper towel. Jason, you can't possibly understand how bad that sounds. Yeah. I think you've lost it. Jason drives a dish, and then he spits on the ground. He's like, take that earth.
Starting point is 00:42:02 And he fills a plastic trash bag filled with these paper towels. That's correct. There are going to be people actually mad at you. It's paper. You're supposed to put the recycling in without the paper, without the plastic bag. Are you saying we don't care about paper now? We used to care about them trees. Yeah, plastic is bad.
Starting point is 00:42:20 Them trees are fine now. Paper is fine. paper's fine. So yeah, I use paper towels because, but I solve this. This actually goes back to the heart of the question, though, which is I feel like, how much money can I spend to wash my dishes? Dish towels are disgusting. And here's how I know it. So you think the towels are like you're making them dirty when you use it? I know. I don't think I know you are. You wash this dish. Wash it with soap, wash it with water. You wash out a pan and it is sparkling clean. I washed it forever. I put elbow grease into that. I used all the right product. And then I take my white.
Starting point is 00:42:52 paper towel and I just dry the water away. And that white paper towel when I look at it is no longer white. It's got residue of something. That feels like a bit of a problem with the dishwasher. I'm the dishwasher in this situation. Oh, okay. Well, listen,
Starting point is 00:43:09 I thought you were talking about taking them out of your dishwasher. I don't dry them when I take them out of the dishwasher. I just put them in the pantry. Or put them in the cabinets. What about when your dryer breaks? The dryer to the dishwasher? Yeah. Yours is in that situation. That is my current life. You need to go and do what I did, which is to research for months, the best dryer in a dishwasher. Yeah. What is this? That's the hardest thing
Starting point is 00:43:31 that mankind has ever tried to do. What is this? Dry the dishes. You know, I found a, I found a, I found a couple of good ones. I found a hack to this. Okay. Tell us. So I did not realize, my dishwasher was, I think we talked about this a couple weeks ago, and this is actually what spurned me to figure it out because about a year ago I moved to my current house. And so There's a new dishwasher, and I mean, it dried these dishes. Wait, that, Jeremy guessed your hack. What's my hack? You just fill your dishwasher with paper towels.
Starting point is 00:44:01 Yeah, if you just put three rolls, you don't even have to unroll them. Just throw the rolls in? No, but this kind of blew my mind and is actually, this is genuine, this isn't a joke. This is like a life advice. A good piece of life advice for everybody out there. When I first moved in, I mean, the dishes when I got them out, they were dry and sparkly, Beautiful. Never the residue on the top of the cups where the little indent is. And then all of a sudden, lately I was like, I feel like it's not drying anymore. Either the dryer went out or I just couldn't figure it out. It's like this. The same dishwasher was a brand new dishwasher. It turns out that the, what's it called? Like the crystal clear, the jet dry liquid. You know, there's this. Do you use the jet dry? So I- Not everybody uses the jet dry. Yeah. Well, everybody should.
Starting point is 00:44:50 It dries them better. 100%. Oh, because it's jet dry. But I always thought it was just like, oh, you're not going to have water spots. I thought it was just for how clear it is. Wait, it actually dries them? It's 100% meant to help dry. And why I filled the, so I ordered it on Amazon.
Starting point is 00:45:06 I ordered the jet dry stuff and I put it in there the next time I ran the dishwasher, bone dry. Now, your dishes were currently coming out mostly dry. At the time when my jet dry was empty, my dishes were. coming out very wet at the top. Okay, so like soaking wet. Pretty darn. Okay, that's where...
Starting point is 00:45:27 Resting water. It prevents them from drying, or it helps them dry. I know, I know it's called jet dry, so it feels going to stupid. No, no, but I thought it was only for the water spot. Yeah, no, it's actually for drying. What is this made out of? By now. How is it 50% cancer?
Starting point is 00:45:41 Oh, it is. It's probably 75% but you're going to have dry dishes. You spray to get wrinkles out. I know I'm getting cancer with that stuff. Now, that works. Here's what I'm dealing with. I know it's good. I know.
Starting point is 00:45:52 Is I, so I'm, my dishwasher is elderly. Um, I recently had to spend some money, Mike. Well, here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:46:02 That's, this is what I got the question about. Is, this is a question just about, yeah, uh, not about my, particularly me is just dishwasher in,
Starting point is 00:46:12 in general, right? Uh, I had a very, what turned out to be a very embarrassing dishwasher situation of the wife was out of town where for multiple days kids are like the dishwasher is totally broken
Starting point is 00:46:27 and it is like it's not running at all and I clean what I know to clean it which there's some filter I found it I took it out I try to get it working yeah yeah I'm like I'm doing oh no I go to the bottom too yeah I know what you're saying I unscrew some junk down there
Starting point is 00:46:44 I unscrew the plate I'm doing YouTube and YouTube is like hey you have this problem Because I just still turn underneath. I'd know. This was like a big problem. And I described it like there's no water. And all of YouTube is saying, hey, you have this problem, which is a pull the dishwasher out, get the part, turn the power off, like situation, right?
Starting point is 00:47:07 So I'm like, I get the bottom screwed off. I'm looking at it. I'm like, there's no way. I'm not doing this. I'm going to break something. So I call someone and they come over. And then they find a different filter that I had no idea about, and they clean it. And then it fixed it?
Starting point is 00:47:27 And guess what my dishwasher starts working? And I'm like, oh, dude, awesome. Thank you so much. He's like, that's going to be $150. And so now I did that, which was really embarrassing for me of like it was a filter, like a deeper filter. I didn't know about. YouTube was telling me it was this part. and now I'm telling you guys my dryer does work
Starting point is 00:47:51 so I paid I'm legit 150 bucks I'm looking at new dishwashers $400 I know the whole How do you not just buy a new dishwasher When something breaks The whole repair world for like old fridges And old dishwashers and ovens Unless it's some crazy high end product
Starting point is 00:48:07 Where it makes sense I don't know how they exist in society Because the price to repair them Is almost the full price of getting a new dishwasher That's what I'm saying of like I will never that shop after doing it, I will never call them again
Starting point is 00:48:20 because they could have had mercy on me and be like, okay, dude, well, that's probably what they need to charge, genuinely. Just to get out there. To have the employee, to have the time. The dude was at my house for 20 minutes. Yeah, but he got to drive there. Oh, dude, you don't get me started on time per work
Starting point is 00:48:34 with frigging locksmiths. I had a locksmith out. Took seven seconds. It was $400. I mean, I wanted to punch a dude. Anyways. Yeah, did you want him to pretend you like he had a lot of work to?
Starting point is 00:48:46 Please work here for a couple hours before you do that. Just hang out. But my point is like, how are we not supposed to, in our economy, I paid $150 bucks and now my dishwasher is already broken again. I should have just paid, I should have thrown this thing in the garbage. Yep. Environment, dump it. I don't know what it's going to do.
Starting point is 00:49:07 Or, or I save money and I just, so that's really frustrating. Let's answer the question. How often do you wash the towels? If you are using them. And if it smells like mill, do I wash it? I would say once a week. Whenever my wife does, which I think is like almost never. I don't wash the dish towels.
Starting point is 00:49:25 I just use paper towels. Yeah, Jason's got to figure it out. We'll take a break. We'll draft. The Spitballers draft. We are drafting things. that are round. Amazing.
Starting point is 00:49:50 We are getting to the things that enrage me because they cost too much money more than replacement. I think Jason now lives in an alternate reality. I do not think, like any common advice that we give on this show is going to be lost. Look, we are all different people here. And when people listen, we appeal to give multiple. Only one Truman in the Truman show, Jack. All right.
Starting point is 00:50:14 There's Truman's out there. Things that are round. you get the first pick you lucky dog I sure do and I'm going to get the most important thing to all of us in this room and there's no way it's not and just like there are some people that believe that there are lizard people
Starting point is 00:50:29 some people believe this is not round yeah yeah yeah I'm taking earth we can't live without it okay can we please talk about this for a second sure Mike is on something with the lizard people on the flat earth the lizard people yeah it means same discussion
Starting point is 00:50:46 Well, no, no, no, you know what? I'm going to give them more credit. They have more credit. They deserve more credit than flat earthers. Different discussion, because that's like a infiltration takeover. Okay, the earth is flat. Now what? Oh, good point.
Starting point is 00:51:02 What do we, what does NASA have to gain? And what does everyone, everyone in science, what do they have to gain by lying to you that the earth is, like, this is, I know, I'm being. hyperbolic because of the podcast but like I'm legit asking what you're saying why the controversy what do the what does big globe have to gain by tricking people that the world
Starting point is 00:51:28 isn't actually flat maybe they better question Mike is actually what do the flat earthers have to gain like it's the same question yeah it's the same question but it's like okay let's say you're right for them for them they're like everyone's lying to us maybe there's something special beyond the edge and they're saying don't go out no but it's the ice wall
Starting point is 00:51:46 Yeah, well, some people say ice wall, right? Wait, is that really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is like the easiest thing to prove and disprove. Every single thing that a person can't individually observe with their own eyeballs will be a conspiracy theory. Which is why the lizard people will be around for a long time. Unless you go to space. Because you can actually disprove the flat earth.
Starting point is 00:52:08 You can't really disprove that some people aren't lizard people. You're taking Earth, which really ruins. He doesn't want to do the Flat Earth conversation. Well, look, we are drafting. I just, I don't, I don't understand what the purpose is. Oh, you're saying to have light about it. Yes. It's an I gotcha.
Starting point is 00:52:25 All right, look, I, yeah, the Oklahomans are long gone. You took the earth. I had thought about taking the moon, but then the moon seems dumb compared to the earth. So I'll take the sun. Ooh. Because sun. Flat earth, even flat earth people are like, yeah, that's clearly round. You could see it up there.
Starting point is 00:52:44 Oh my gosh. Somehow I never made the connection of everything they do observe that's not the Earth is round. All the other planets are round, my guy. It's just ours. Oh, that's real dumb. That makes you feel real stupid. I'm sitting here going, okay, I get it. Like, some people want to be skeptical because you can't, like, get up and see it.
Starting point is 00:53:03 And they see the flat horizon. So they're like, I don't see it. But you can see the sun. Yeah, no, they're all in on that. You can look at through a telescope at certain times of year and look at Mars. It'd be like, oh, yeah, that's a round planet, not ours. No, no, no. All right, so I'll take the sun because it feels like an upgrade on the earth,
Starting point is 00:53:18 and the earth wouldn't be anything without it. All right, okay, all right. Mike, two picks for you, round things. Look, things that are round. Obviously, we have, we're drafting really important. It could be anything. It can be anything. And our draft is not even best things.
Starting point is 00:53:33 It's just things that are around. Hey, I mean, I think we're going back to. Yeah, we can draft anything. I think they're best things. Just not circle. Yeah, I mean, there are a lot around things, Mike. All right. Go to town.
Starting point is 00:53:45 So the first one I'm going to go with, we had a, we did a live event for the fantasy footballers, our other podcast, and we spent just, looking, having a big production, it costs money, and we got lasers, we got fog machines, we got lights, and it turned out the thing that cost us like the least amount of money was by far the coolest. I know what you're going with. I'm taking a disco ball. No, a disco ball. This thing, this king kicks so much butt, dude. Yeah, it was awesome. It's like, you put any amount of light on a disco ball and you have a party.
Starting point is 00:54:24 You got a party. You have a party. It was so cool. The disco balls are so awesome. It feels like it shouldn't be that cool because it's just this little ball of mirrors. To be fair, the disco ball without the lasers on it, maybe not so cool. You don't know. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:54:35 You just put light on it. It's going to be awesome. You're going to have a great time. All right. Disco balls are your 101. All right. And then I'm going to take. Jason looked a little.
Starting point is 00:54:45 worried like I was going to take a snack on things that are round I got a pretty big list I'm going to take look it's fun people people love it people have bubbles oh very round I'm gonna take a bubble
Starting point is 00:55:03 it's always it's always round you can't have an imperfectly shaped you have a round bubble wow I've never thought about that like yeah you can't have like an oval bubble you know you definitely can get an oval But eventually, I think it comes back. It has to start perfectly.
Starting point is 00:55:18 Yeah. But it comes, then it will always, as soon as it. At the end, gravity will turn it on its own. Because just like planets, Jason. Gravity eventually turns it into a sphere shape. It's a good pick. Bubbles. And the first one was disco ball.
Starting point is 00:55:33 Disco ball. You said 2D, we said 3D. All of it works. If it's around, I'm going pizza. Oh, that was my next pick. That was my next pick. That was my next pitch. It's on my list.
Starting point is 00:55:44 It's on my list. It's right. there with the sun in terms of importance. And so I will go with pizza. Sure. Both cause diarrhea. Okay. Now I will say this. My favorite pizza is more of a square pizza. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I'm not surprised.
Starting point is 00:56:01 I like thin crust. And a lot of times thin crust common like square pizzas. Where are you getting a square thin crust from? I don't know where. They do square. No one knows where Rockefeller gets his food. Nuts freaking. Let's freaking get to his next pick. all right well you took pizza which was going to be my next pick I'm going to take the thing that
Starting point is 00:56:21 like I'm going to take the thing that round invented it's probably one of the most that round invented that's right what yeah it's one of the most important inventions in the history of humanity
Starting point is 00:56:34 and it is and it is the it was made by round okay it's a wheel yeah okay I mean the invention is Made by round. Yes. It's made by the theory of being round.
Starting point is 00:56:48 It's just it rolls. It's not actually round. We haven't proved it yet. We just believe it's round. We, uh, look. The wheel. If a wheel was a triangle, it would have not done well. Big triangle wanted it that way.
Starting point is 00:57:03 Yeah, yeah. I mean, even if it was an octagon, it would suck. That is. But being round, a wheel is a good pick. One of the most important round things of all time. now I'm going to blow people's mind okay I'm going to draft a 2d version of a 3D object oh you're gonna break the I'm doing what I mean people have been waiting this whole time they're like j you talked about this earlier yeah why would you draft a 2d version of a 3d object why
Starting point is 00:57:31 everyone's asking everybody the whole episode and I'm glad you didn't drive you almost you almost stole my glory here Andy he took pizza well he stole a little deliciousness but I am taking the full moon, okay? Because you draft a moon, you're getting like a planet, like a sun, it's round, it's a sphere. But the moon is only coolest when it's a full moon. The other night, I was driving, and it was one of those, like, it happens from time to time. It's rare. But you just go out at night, you drive, and you go, holy crap.
Starting point is 00:58:03 Kids, family, look ahead of us. Have you ever, like, it's just incredible when you have. Our family has, our family does text alerts often. I mean, when those humonging. moon alerts. When it's like to your vision, it's like two inches. Yeah, yeah, yeah. With the finger test and it's humongous.
Starting point is 00:58:22 What do we think about this, Al? We like it? I'm so confused. I mean, I'd want the whole moon. I just said in the slack, does Jason know the full moon is a sphere or is he a flat mooner? I'm just saying, I'm saying that standing on the moon, looking at the moon, looking at the divvets in the moon. Any on the moon?
Starting point is 00:58:40 I'm saying like up close you see pictures of the the surface of the moon. Yeah. Okay, whatever. It's pretty lame up there. It's pretty lame. Yeah. But when you see a full moon, which is really a 2D from Earth. The fact that you ended up with a 2D object of a round thing after a flat earth discussion is pretty funny.
Starting point is 00:58:57 It is. It is funny. I'll take a flat earth. Basically, look, I'm going to go pancakes. Oh, it's on my list. Oh, you've got pizza and pancakes. Pizza and pancakes, baby. Wild.
Starting point is 00:59:09 All right. I did not have pancakes on there. I did have pizza. Well, there's a lot around things, Mike. You're okay. That's good, because I'm running out. He's looking around the room. Yeah. I'm like, uh, circle. No, I'm going to go. I have back-to-back picks. I do want a food. So I'm going to start with the food. And mine comes with a bonus, a bonus circle. Okay. In the middle. a donut.
Starting point is 00:59:40 Yeah. Yeah, donuts. I'm taking a donut. That's two circles in one. It is. I like it. A 3D donut or a 2D donut.
Starting point is 00:59:46 You can smash that sucker down. Yeah, you can take 12 donuts. You can make one. All right. And it's delicious. And then I want to, which one do I go? I want a character.
Starting point is 01:00:00 You want like a, like a character from, yeah, a round character. Yeah, roundish character. No, I'm not drafting Jason. you're getting less and less round so
Starting point is 01:00:11 I got to get those jokes in while I can't because you're about to be the swole guy on the show and that's going to be a problem I'm going with Kirby I'm going with Kirby I couldn't even think of a round character I'm going with Kirby I have there's one more than
Starting point is 01:00:27 that I think is a very the Ghostbusters he's what slimer yeah he's not really he's round with a tail no I'm going with Kirby Nintendo You know, he's literally... Kirby is a round character.
Starting point is 01:00:39 He is just a ball. Speaking of just a ball, I will go in that pop culture realm as well. I'm going to take a Pokemon. Oh, that is a tremendous... I'm going to take a poker ball. That's pretty good. People love Pokemon. A Pokemon's the pick.
Starting point is 01:00:53 You do have to catch them all. You have to. Per the rules. Yeah. Don't catch some. Is that rule number one? I don't say that. Rule number one of like, hey, you want to be a Pokemon collection?
Starting point is 01:01:02 Catch a few. Got to catch a few. You've caught in a... You've got most of them. All right. I am going to take my favorite thing in the world growing up a basketball. It is the ball of all balls. Okay.
Starting point is 01:01:20 It's the first thing I thought of when I wanted to draft a round thing. A basketball. Okay, I'll take the circle of life. Basketball's fun. All right. All right. You've got basketball. Honorable mention, guys.
Starting point is 01:01:35 We don't need to mention everything round. the world but uh so the other character was pacman packman's a great one back man was on the list what about uh if i had chosen eyeballs would you give me a hard time no no okay they there's a round observation and i know the whole thing isn't perfectly i ran into a problem when you're thinking of round things it is often word ball right and i ball basket ball tennis ball polky ball yeah and i was like i don't want i took the one that i wanted i took the disco one but i couldn't do more the one. I need to read you what the description of an eyeball is. Please.
Starting point is 01:02:10 It says it's nearly spherical, but is more precisely an oblate spheroid. Yeah. The earth is, in fact, the earth is not a perfect sphereoid. No, it's more than oblate spheroid. That's a great one. Pickleball, Jay, you could have taken that. I could have, but I got a
Starting point is 01:02:26 basketball. Yeah, do you guys have anything else you want to mention? I thought about a vinyl. A ring. Yeah. I had a clock face. Did you say a ring? Oh, like a ring you wear? Okay. No, that makes sense. What other ring were you thinking of? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:02:39 You were thinking of the non-circular ring? Ring ring. You ever tried one of those home landlines? What did we learn today? Pieces of... Yeah, that was the takeaway. Gambling. Pieces of gambling was the thing I learned today.
Starting point is 01:02:58 Yeah, I learned that... I didn't know how many pieces of gambling I could win. You guys aren't good enough at speeding. Yeah, I learned Jason is an expert speeder. Someday I will get there. Once you're impounded, you really knowledge, the knowledge goes up. Yeah, you've got to get better. You've got to get better.
Starting point is 01:03:12 That's the moment. Your 10,000 hours begins. Goodbye, everybody. Thank you for listening. Stay safe. Goodbye. Thanks for listening to the Spitballers podcast. To see what other nonsense the guys are up to, check out spitballerspod.com.
