Spit wads, we have a really bad show for you.
Something I could never say, they're all bangers.
We're talking car horn aliens and an animated bank heist today, and I might or might not
just wipe out an entire species.
Stay tuned.
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.
That's great.
Welcome in, everybody. Woo! That's great.
Welcome in, everybody.
Woo.
Nothing wrong with that.
Sometimes you got to hit them with the standards.
I think it was great.
I just kind of, we're trying to coast in on this one.
Take the road most traveled.
You don't ever fire up the standards?
The standards?
Yeah.
Is this a specific band?
No, it's a very specific genre of music, though.
I am unaware.
No, I am too.
I don't know.
Explain yourself. So Harry Connick Jr. often covers the standards.
Is that all the hits or something?
Is that another way of saying it?
But it was a time period of like, it's a little bit of jazz music, a little bit of big band,
and they're called The Standards.
I don't...
Okay.
Because that's just...
When you became...
I assume, now thinking about it, when you became a musician back then, there was a set
of music you had to know.
You had to know the standards because
everyone would request these songs.
Like at a dinner party?
Yeah. Okay, or at a bar or something.
Okay, I guess you hit the
standards.
Like moon dance.
Once again,
I have no idea
what you're talking about.
You would know them because they're the standards.
They were Papa's standards.
It does sound that way.
Welcome to the Spitballers.
Andy, Mike, and Jason back with you.
Spitballerspod.com is the website.
On today's show, we have Would You Rather.
We're entering the Situation Room,
and we have another spectacular draft for you.
We're going on a bank heist, but
we need some help.
We're going back.
We've been on a bank heist before.
We have done a bank heist before. It did not go
well for me. You had a pig wig.
I believe I drafted a pig wig.
Well, to my credit,
I believe it was a multi-animal
heroin. To your credit.
Well, I threw off the feds big time.
They had no idea it was me.
But now I'm bringing in some animated characters.
Yeah, it'll be fun.
So we appreciate you supporting the show, subscribing, reviewing.
We're going to read a review right now.
Review-a-saurus regs.
This one comes in from Yaya 2102 five stars i started listening last month
and i was instantly hooked now i'm starting over from the beginning the best thing is i can listen
to it with my son and we actually pause the show and answer in our own way for the would you rather
questions even if you go back to the first shows, they're still relevant. Keep up the great work.
And I am officially a hashtag.
Hashtag.
Hashtag.
Spitwad now.
Well, thank you, Yaya.
Yes.
I like that review.
I like it a lot.
But there's a part I don't like.
Oh, no.
They paused the show.
I think that is rude to the comedy that we provide.
I was about to say, I love that.
That's disrespectful.
Yeah, we are artists on this show.
I got something different out of the review.
What I understood from this review is that all of our old shows' questions are still relevant.
Of course.
We can re-roll all of that.
The next 100 shows,
we can just throw that same... We'll probably answer
different. This show that you're listening
to right now is actually an old one.
We read
this review and then we thought, let's just cut
into a super old show.
So as you're listening, see if you remember
this stuff. That's true. Did you hear
President Clinton saying that stuff the other day?
Alright, let's
do some Would You Rather.
Would You Rather.
Jake
from the website, would you rather your entire
household share a single bathroom
with only one flush allowed
per day?
That's funny. That sounds like my kid's bathroom. Oh, wow. What? That's funny.
Oh, that sounds like my kid's bathroom.
Oh, okay.
We'll get into that.
Or you all have to use a porta potty in the backyard.
A porta potty is a no-flush system.
Right.
That's a never flush.
But there's a distance.
Yes.
It's way down there.
You are separated at least by a foot or so.
I don't know.
It's more than that.
Yeah.
It could be like seven, eight feet.
No, no, no.
This isn't an outhouse.
This is a porta potty.
It's portable.
The poop is in the potty.
The poop is right there.
But the difference is there's distance from the house, from the living area.
The quarters, you're not smelling this from your kitchen if it's in the porta potty in the backyard.
Whereas, I don't know, man, if the entire house has to use a toilet without flushing.
One flush per day.
One flush!
How do you time that up?
Oh, I know how to time that up.
Midday?
No, it's first.
It's dad's.
It's dad's flush.
That's what the whole family's going want that's what i'm gonna need
because you you shut it down i'm gonna i'm gonna murder that place and then we flush
and we're okay for a little while you you realize that means that dad is going is pooping on poop
that is a problem oh and it ain't yours. No, it's definitely not your problem.
I'm going to admit something.
I'm thankful to say I've never pooped on somebody else's poop.
You've never had to poop on poop?
I have never pooped on poop.
I mean, other than a porta potty.
Stacks on stacks.
I have pooped on lots of poop at a porta potty.
You've pooped in a porta potty?
Like, have you guys ever?
I have.
You have.
Oh, yeah.
No way.
Emergencies.
Yes, desperate times call for desperate measures.
And yes, I have had to.
I imagine it was at like a state fair.
That's where I'm thinking.
Oh, my goodness.
Or a water park or something.
A state fair port-a-potty?
Yeah.
That sounds like a nightmare zone.
You definitely have tetanus at the least.
I'd rather be in a prison you know like one of those
cell rooms where there's just a toilet
on the wall rather than
be at a fair port-a-potty.
So in the prison
there is no privacy. Correct.
That's just how it works. Yeah.
And then you're
somewhat vulnerable in that position.
Well you're in your cell so you're not
I mean I guess if you have a cellmate. But do you share the cell with a cellmate?
Yeah.
And you both use the non-private...
See, I was thinking about...
I haven't been to prison, so I have a lot of questions.
Right.
Soon.
I was thinking of those holding cells that you always see in the shows, like when you're
brought in and you're waiting...
Oh, because that's just...
I believe that's jail.
Yeah, that's jail.
Okay, jail.
Yeah, just like an overnight holding cell at the station.
Is there a hanging toilet there, too?
No, I think they ought to take you to the bathroom.
That is a good question.
I don't know.
Easy escape.
Sir.
I've got to go number two.
Sir, I have explosive diarrhea.
I think I've been informed that the porta potty is going to be cleared out once a week.
Well, it has to be.
Otherwise, it will fill up.
Otherwise, it's a problem.
There is a maximum occupancy.
I'm going to need one more thing added to the porta potty to make this an even fight for me.
Okay.
I'm going to need an air conditioner.
No.
Oh, no.
You cannot have.
That's the essence of a porta potty.
The summer?
Yeah.
In Arizona in a porta potty?
Summertime.
I would literally be pooping next to the porta potty.
If I went the porta potty route, I'd be like, well, I've got to go to the bathroom.
I'm not going in that thing.
Just take a hold and use the shade from the porta potty.
That's right.
I would use it for privacy.
I'd hide behind it.
I'm glad you brought the heat up because I was going to go with the porta potty.
I felt like that was a better solution.
The poop's further from the house.
Yes, it stinks to be in there, but it's going to stink to be in your house with the one flush rule.
One flush.
Yeah, that's tough.
And it's funny because, Mike, you said, well, then you're the one pooping on poop.
Yeah.
And I thought to myself, well, I'm first thing in the morning.
But it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter because it's all there from the day before if you only get one per day.
If you're the first pooper, that's the best situation.
But you'd have to be the first pooper past the flush, not in the morning.
Because what if you flush in the middle of the day?
Well, I wouldn't.
I'd flush at the end of the day.
Yeah, okay.
When do you flush?
You have to flush it before bed.
Because then it can sit there not stinking for 12 hours.
Do you know what I'm saying?
But the longer it's there, the less stink there will be.
A fresh turd is always stinkier than an old turd.
I think Andy's right here because you've got a lot of hours.
You can't have it cooking overnight.
Yeah, you can't have it cooking overnight.
I think you flush at night.
This is the worst segment. The worst question we've overnight i think you flush at night worst segment
the worst question we've ever done you flush at night i get in there first and i'm taking that
i'm taking that approach okay so i'm in first i flush at night and i'm very selfish and your
family is destroyed that's right and then you don't have a porta potty making your backyard
all ugly that's true I'll miss the shade.
Phillip from Patreon.
Wait, what did you guys pick?
I want to do the porta potty.
Yeah, I'm going porta potty.
I can live with it.
I'll just jump in the pool afterwards.
Oh, man, you'll be so sweaty.
I'd rather poop in the pool.
And that's why we don't swim at your house.
Phillip from Patreon.
Would you rather have your car always take 15 minutes to get to temperature why is it trying to sweat us out blows ice cold air for 15 minutes when you
want it hot or blazing hot air for 15 minutes when you're cold yeah so arizona or have it never work
at all what would be the advantage just out of curiosity of just having it broken and never work
why would i rather never work than just take a little while to work?
Because imagine you get in your car and you want to cool it off,
and instead it's blowing hot air at you.
Like it's actually heating your car for 15 minutes.
I'm guessing you don't get the loophole of turning it on
and walking away for 15 minutes.
And that's the thing about the 15 minutes.
Imagine driving.
It's not often that you're in the car for that much longer than 15 minutes,
at least where we live and drive.
I'd rather have it broken in that situation.
Weed those down.
System up.
I've lived that life.
My high school car, no AC, no heat.
I guess I just assumed as we read this question,
because this is common in Arizona.
In Arizona, you go out to your car and you start it 15 minutes before you leave.
Yeah.
Whether you've got, you know.
You put your oven mitts on.
That's right.
So you can actually open the door.
And then you go in, you start the car, and then you run back.
You take a quick shower from having to walk out to your car.
And then 15 minutes later, you get into a car that's got, like, decent cool air.
You are not exaggerating.
You're exaggerating
a little bit but like you you get in your car you start it in this is like the middle of the summer
and then you get out of the car because it is it is way hotter inside that car than it is just
standing out there letting you have to crack your windows in arizona during the summer when you park
you have to allow otherwise you are what how much does that actually help the temperature i know that
significant what like 10 degrees i mean your car can get very very hot your car becomes deadly
which do not lock your pets in your car please well just think about how hot it is outside maybe
it's 110 degrees i'm just saying like just saying, what's the actual temperature difference
of a cracked window versus
just closed windows?
Does anyone know that? Has anyone done that experiment?
Owl?
It can reach over 140 degrees
within minutes inside a fully closed vehicle.
So my thought is, if it's 140
inside with it closed,
it could be
the temperature outside with it cracked.
Look, if I've got this situation, those windows are never going up.
They are down.
I'll break them.
I'll just shatter them out, and I don't even want windows.
We've got an even better report.
One researcher tested this in the 80s.
A study in pediatrics found that cracking the window five centimeters
lowered the temperature in a car by 28 degrees Fahrenheit in a 98 degree day.
All right, that's substantial.
That's significant.
A lot.
Thus, my windowless car is the way to go.
I'm certainly buying a convertible.
You want to steal it, you can steal it.
I think you'd die in 15 minutes of hot air blowing in your face with closed windows in a car.
You might pass out.
Yeah, it wouldn't be good.
Well, yeah.
No, I mean, think about it.
I mean, you die in a car in Arizona in the heat.
Yes, yes.
Now you're saying, according to this question, you're getting it hotter.
Like, nothing is cooled down.
It's just getting hotter.
You're right.
You can't go that route.
No.
You have to have a broken AC.
Choose life.
Windows down. Choose life. Yes, sir. getting hotter you're right you can't go that route no you have to have a broken ac choose life windows down choose life yes sir break that ac break those windows and live i want to live
uh you know i i hadn't did either of you ever own a car that had no ac or no i i did not own it but
uh my cousin was but i knew a guy no no i did know a guy but it was uh my my
older cousin was the first driver of of all of us yeah so like he was my best friend growing up
and so we rolled up it was like a mid-80s minivan like the all the paint was just coming off of this
thing no no air conditioning had stopped working years ago.
And this was, you would, everywhere you went, you would just have,
your shirt would be two different colors.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because you'd have the regular color with some sweat stains in the front.
But the back of your shirt is three shades darker because it is just drenched.
I had to, sometimes, I had one of these cars.
In fact, I tried to sell it to andy
you did when i met him no headliner no gas gauge that worked this thing was the most busted this
was literally the closest vehicle that has ever been on the road to the flintstones vehicle like
okay it it didn't have a gas gauge that worked and he pitched it like it was a darling it didn't
have an oil gauge that worked and And it didn't keep oil.
I had a case of oil.
I would fill it up every three or four stops.
That sounds friendly for the environment.
I had to write the mileage down on a piece of paper so I could know when to fill it up.
But no AC.
And it didn't matter because I was 16.
Yeah, and you had a car.
And I had a car.
It was awesome.
I used to go to school in the morning in the winter.
I would take a blanket and throw it in the dryer for 10 minutes.
I'd bring the hot blanket to the car to sit in the car as my heat.
All right.
And I'm sure that cold people states have a problem too.
Yeah.
But I don't know anything about it.
Right.
Sorry.
Actually.
Our problems are worse.
Now, is Brooks on the microphone today?
Yes, sir.
So, Brooks, you're talking about your time up in Michigan, right?
Yeah.
And I actually had to deal, for the first time in my entire life,
I had to deal with an ice car where the windshield and the ice were actually frozen.
And that wasn't very fun.
Did you have to scrape it?
Yeah, I had to scrape it.
I had to turn on the defroster.
I had to put salt on the windshield.
Wait, what's a defroster?
That's the CEO.
All right.
Dave from the website,
would you rather the humanity discover a suitable second home
on another planet
or discover non-hostile intelligent life on another planet.
So we
become a multi-planetary
species. Okay. That's cool.
Or non-hostile
intelligent life. Or we find a whole other
species. Yeah, I mean this one's
pretty easy for
me and I think this kind of
harkens back to, I'm going to be honest,
a little bit of selfishness but like well that this show is is predicated on selfishness right it's the
selfishness spoilers um I want another place to live like going to another place to live you're
just wiping out another I'm not wiping out anything they They never existed. They do now. No, no, no.
I picked first.
Mike, it's making it like you killed a species?
This is not.
This is not.
Would you like to have a home somewhere else and wipe out another form of life?
Yes, it is.
Or.
There is an or in the question.
You have wiped them out.
Well, I got a second home, Mike, and it's outstanding.
Can you imagine going to a new planet like we do that?
We find one, and then we can go there,
and you're the first people discovering a new planet.
Would that be terrifying or exciting?
It would be almost all terrifying.
I mean, the romantic look at it is it would be incredible.
I'm the first person to ever step on this planet.
I am the first person to do this.
I mean.
If you knew you were safe, though, it would be fully exciting, right?
You're just worried about dying.
No, I'm not worried about dying.
I'm worried about being comfortable.
Because you can go to this like all the people when we had the
oregon trail they were uncomfortable they were not living a good life i mean they was it was
adventure we benefited from their discomfort absolutely we did i think about this jording
rivers i think about this all the time diseases When we are falling off a cliff, when we're outside,
when our kids are outside for like 10 minutes in the Arizona summer, it's like, oh my gosh,
we've got to get them inside. They're going to. And then it's like the air conditioning did not
always exist. People lived here prior to air conditioning. It's been a very Arizona centric
show. It has been a very Arizona centric show. Um has been a very Arizona-centric show. But that's true.
People lived out in the desert.
Better people than us, that's for sure.
Yes.
Without any air conditioning.
Well, that's why they all died when they were 19 years old.
That's probably fair.
Just like this non-hostile intelligent life.
Yeah, they're gone.
They died at zero.
I took them out, baby.
Your home belongs to me now.
Are we all taking the second planet?
No way.
Show me them aliens, man.
Let's go.
Yeah, I could have told you what Mike was picking from the get-go.
Isn't it a little disappointing if you meet them and they're not hostile after all these movies?
I mean, well, okay.
That's fair.
Like you meet them and they're just like super polite accountants.
They're just Canadians.
They're just like boring.
Like we want something exciting from them.
They don't,
they don't attack you.
They don't really offer you much.
They're boring.
They don't want to play,
play games.
They just want to sit around.
The problem is you're not going to be able to communicate with them.
Well,
like,
like,
okay,
somebody will figure out how to communicate.
They're an intelligent life form,
but I could not communicate.
I can't
communicate with someone on the other side of this planet you know what i mean like i will figure it
out i cannot well i mean i've got like google translate but when we meet these uh this this
new species say hello exactly that's that's the alien's language yes It's just all car horns.
It's all car horns.
A-woo-ga.
It's all car horns.
But my point is, there would be nothing great other than, oh, they exist.
Let me ask you a question.
If you found another planet and it was filled, it's a water planet, and it's just filled with alien dolphins, right?
They're just equivalent to dolphins.
Would you qualify that as finding intelligent life on another planet?
It would qualify to me, yes.
So if you found a dolphin planet, that would work?
Yeah, that's why I want my safe vacation home planet.
What if it was filled with beetles?
It's a beetle planet.
Only beetles.
No, not smart.
Dolphins are smart enough.
You'd still call it life.
You'd say life.
Yeah, but the question says intelligent life.
And if we find dolphin planet, I cannot wait to ship some good old-fashioned earth dolphins,
get them up there so they can race.
Are you kidding me?
I'm going sharks.
I'm saying we're taking over the top of the food chain here well look if we if we find non-hostile intelligent
aliens what do you think is gonna happen we're the hostile ones yes that's right all right there
will be no where is the line between intelligent life and life though i know it's somewhere between
beetles and dolphins so i i think i might have answered dolphin a little bit more in there. What about a rat?
A rat planet? Intelligent life to me means communication.
Intelligent life
to me means communication. But beetles can
communicate. No, no, no. He means with us.
Yes. Like dolphins, you can do some things
to train them. The ability to
But I guess you can train a beetle, too.
Yeah, so I'm starting to wonder
I'm starting to wonder if I would not
consider dolphins as intelligent life.
We found life on another planet.
Monkeys?
But if we can't communicate back and forth, I don't think I'd call that intelligent life.
But they can communicate.
Just not the way you want them to.
Can they communicate with math?
Imagine a dolphin just out there.
Hey, this is a fun thought experiment.
The Situation Realm.
All right.
This situation comes to us from one of our supporters on Patreon.
Oh, thank you for your support.
Named Shame Eating.
Shame Eating?
Oh, yeah. One of my people.
Between the other
two hosts and Al, pick one person
to educate your children, one person to design
and give your next tattoo,
and one to
perform surgery to remove
your infected, abscessed tooth.
Ooh.
We're picking... Oh, this is easy. I'm done.
You're done. Go for it. I'm done. You're done.
You go for it.
Wow.
I'm done.
I will go for it.
Mike, congratulations on designing my next tattoo.
Okay.
You are the only tattooed one up.
I will refuse to acknowledge Owl's tattoos.
Thank you.
You are welcome.
And you are welcome, Owl.
And you are welcome, Al.
So, Mike, you get my tattoos.
To be a little kinder to Al here, I'm going to choose him for the surgery.
I am, too.
I am, too.
He will research it. Yes.
He will think through all of the things that could go wrong.
And I think he'll care for me.
And then education.
Look, Andy is an educated man.
He is a wise one.
He is the father of us all and father to my children now in the education front.
So that's the way I'm going.
All right.
I've got a different take.
Yeah, I've got my take as well.
But Al is doing the tooth because he'll YouTube it.
He'll figure it out.
He'll research enough that I feel confident.
For the tattoo, though, I'm going to Andy.
I've seen his doodles.
Oh, yeah.
You're forgetting there have been many legendary doodles throughout the time.
There's two that I can think of that are signed and valuable.
If we NFT'd these things, I mean, you're talking.
I hadn't thought about that.
What, like at least 60 plus ether.
Yes.
If we really went for it on these doodles.
We'd shut down the show afterwards, but his doodles are legendary.
So Jason's educating your kids by matter of elimination.
Yeah.
Take that, grammar.
I was going to try Big Brooks, but I can't.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
I'm sorry, children.
See, the default is to go to the tattooed man for the tattoo design,
but I don't know if I've seen Mike do a lot of artwork.
I cannot think of a single drawing.
Yeah, can you draw, Mike?
I cannot draw very well.
Okay.
But I could definitely give you
a cool abstract tattoo.
You know what?
Jason's doing my tattoo.
Ooh, I will like that.
You want to know why?
Because Mike's actually doing my tooth abscess.
Oh, right.
I feel like he's got steadier hands
than Al Borland over there.
It's the dexterity.
Have you seen Al Borland on the foosball table?
Those hands are going all over the place.
His hands don't work, man.
He may research it, but if your hands are like, you know, you need stability.
Yeah, that's a really good point.
I remember every time I've watched him play foosball, sometimes those hands.
And pressure.
The pressure of the game.
If you tell him he's playing bad, it gets in his head no it's bleeding but if you tell him he's bleeding if you tell him he's playing really good then he all watch out he's playing
real bad do you want to select uh between the three of us for these al i think you should yeah
uh yeah andy will educate my kids uh man yeah where do you want me Where do you want me
That's what this comes down to
I'm going to have to let Mike give me the tattoo
At least he's seen it done before
I'm ripping that sucker out of your mouth
I'll just deal with the repercussions
Of you
Yes you will
Yes you will
That's a good one.
All right.
Big Gordo from Patreon.
You have been exiled from your home country.
Uh-oh.
However, you are allowed to pick a different country to move to.
Your stay is all expenses paid, and you have magically become fluent in the native language.
Okay.
Upon entering.
What country do you pick?
Interesting.
Does that mean if you pick another English-speaking country,
you get the accent, though?
Oh, absolutely.
You have to be able to be fluent with the people.
You're one of them.
Mike, are you going to Australia?
You don't have a long way to go on the accent if you need it.
I have been fortunate enough in my younger days to visit Australia,
and despite the fact that like every
time you read about a horrific plague or like like there's a there's a bajillion rodents oh
there's 10 trillion spiders on the loose like australia is really it's wild it is a wild place
and like i don't know i don't know if I've talked about it with you guys,
but did you guys know that birds over in the United States,
birds that are considered like these are wild,
like really exotic birds, like a cockatoo.
Okay.
They're just there.
They're just living.
They are just living there like pigeons.
Like they just have cockatoos.
What?
Yeah.
Just flying around, man.
It's way down south, man.
A bird that if you went to a pet store in the U.S.,
it would cost you thousands of dollars.
They're just flying around.
They're just everywhere.
Yes.
Which doesn't make sense.
I mean, if they exist as birds, they should be flying somewhere.
But it's so wild.
Yeah, but I would expect them to be in the jungle or something,
like in the rainforest, not just like, oh, I'm playing basketball
and look what's on the fence.
I'm going to New Zealand.
All right.
That's my country.
Oh, that's a good pick.
Is it because of the Lord of the Rings?
No, it really isn't.
It's just beautiful.
How do you know it's so beautiful?
Lord of the Rings. No ring no well when all this
uh pandemic stuff was going on you know they were they were keeping it on lockdown over there on
their island oh it's because it's like three square feet it is pretty small the fjord lands
over there oh they're beautiful i love a good fjord um man i'm i'm i'm really torn here between going. What's a fjord, Jason? A fjord is like where the water comes into the walls of the.
Yeah.
I mean, if you watch YouTube, I can see it.
My words aren't quite so elegant.
But where water comes into a land and there's walls up around.
But there is a defining trait.
You could have described
that like the worst anybody but you i know you know what i mean perfect yeah i mean well just
he described it with his hands listen to my hands i'm pretty sure there's something with a glacier
involved i don't think there has to be there doesn't have to be but that is very correct
no it's not in it's that is primarily unusually in geology a fjord is a long, narrow inlet with steep sides or cliffs created by a glacier.
No.
No, no.
A long, narrow, deep inlet of a sea between high cliffs.
Yep.
And then usually.
Typically formed.
Boom.
In your face, Al Vorland.
Typically formed with a glaciated valley, but not necessary.
Oh, man.
I feel like that was brutal what I just did to him.
I feel like that was, when you go typically, you could have only given him a 20% insult,
and that felt like 120%.
The fjords down in New Zealand are not all made by glaciers.
That's why I know that.
I'm living in a fjord down under.
All right.
Where are you guys going?
Jason, do you want to become a Frenchman?
Nope.
Take the food.
Don't underestimate the French food.
Oh, I did not think about.
Oh, okay.
Well, done deal.
I'm going to Italy.
Yeah.
The food brought me to my homeland.
I am a carb master.
I will be at home there.
And you always see those pictures of those really, really, really overweight, almost
like a boss, like a mob boss almost but like not just
in families and they're like revered i don't know if that's true but it's in pictures and i can get
i don't know if that's a really insensitive character i can get there with enough carbs
so i'm going to italy for sure mike i'm going to japan oh that was where i was between man i've i have tech i the
tech that just i it i i just bought a uh uh look uh one of the things that i love which is it's
completely irrational and i have nowhere to put them but coffee table books are my jam oh man a
good photography coffee table book like the salmon way yeah oh yeah like i have to
like fight all urges to just to not buy all the coffee table books that interest me they're great
oh they're they are the absolute freaking best and we got a new birthday present there you can
put it down uh but i just bought uh uh a photographer went and did Tokyo at night.
And it's like most of them are in the rain.
So it full on looks like Blade Runner.
I was going to say cyberpunk.
But it's real.
This is a real place that people live.
Interesting.
And it's outstanding.
And I'm terrified to go there because I'm a coward of the language barrier.
But someday.
Someday in Tokyo I'm coming.
Do you have a genre of coffee table books? of the language barrier, but someday, someday Tokyo, I'm coming.
Is it, do you have a genre of coffee table books?
Like you like geographic pictures or anything?
It could be a sports.
It's stuff that I'm interested in.
So I have like so many,
you know,
history of video games and,
and just in a place that I like,
or that I want to visit.
I take,
I get,
we'll go,
uh,
you know,
like Tokyo and,
uh,
I bought a,
uh, uh, how to pronounce it,
but I think Seoul
in South Korea.
Seoul,
I apologize
on the pronunciation.
It's Seoul.
But I bought one there
and just places
that are like,
interesting.
Anything that's interesting to me,
if you put it
in a coffee table book,
you're in.
I'm in.
I'm in.
I don't even have
a coffee table
to put them on.
Well,
you should get one.
Or get the Kramer one, the one that's got the two legs on it.
It's a coffee table book about coffee tables.
Yes.
Trevor from the website.
30% of the world's population is competing to find you right now.
Holy crap.
They have 30 days.
If they find you, the finder receives a million dollars.
If they don't find you, you get the million dollars.
What is your plan?
This is full on the running man.
Okay.
What's your plan?
30%.
A lot of people are looking for you.
That is a lot of people.
Do I get a head start, Al?
I mean, or am I like-
You have to get a head start.
Otherwise, there's four other people in this room, so done.
30% of the world population.
What are we up to? What are we up to with the population? Probably eight or nine billion. There's four other people in this room, so done. So 30% of the world population.
What are we up to?
What are we up to with the population?
Probably eight or nine billion. Ten billion?
I think it's in there.
Let's call it two and a half billion people are coming after you right now.
Holy crap, that's a lot of people.
So let's give ourselves a week.
We get a week to prepare.
Okay.
Because a month to be found by everyone
there's two problems here there's one where it's like i know where i'd want to be but then there's
the the problem of do i leave a trace of myself getting there like i would say i'd love to be in
a remote cave right and i bring supplies and i find a cave and i'm in a lot of supplies to have
to bring there a month yeah a month but But I think I could get it done.
I got one of those little emergency tote bins.
I got I got a rollie back.
But how do I not?
I mean, out of that two point five billion people, there are a lot of police officers and investigators.
There are people that know how to find people.
And I don't know how I'm going to get to the cave without leaving tracks.
So I'm going to leave like I'm going to drop something on the way or i'm gonna well that's gonna be difficult with anything right unless you're staying at home in
which case that's a new problem which is you're at your house um wherever we go on a plane for 30
days i think it'll run out of gas i mean a grounded plane sure you can you can hide in a in a grounded
plane i know where i'm going though i'm going on boat. I'm taking a boat out on the water.
And there's a new problem there, which is I pray after a month
I can find my way back because there's a chance I just die at sea.
No, you hope they find you.
Right.
20 days in, you're like, I'd give a million dollars to be found right now.
Yes, 31 days in, and the radio SOS messages come on,
the flares go up, find me.
I'm just trying to picture you on a, how are your boat skills?
My boat skills are pretty good if it is motor, a motorboat with plenty of gasoline, extra,
I'm going to need extra to refill that.
Do you know how to refill a boat with gas that i'm positive i can figure out i know i can okay um and i'm gonna need it to be pretty large
um because but the larger it is the harder it is to maneuver but i only go one direction which is
away from land um and then eventually i'll drop anchor and people can't find me out in the water
that's my plan i was gonna say how are you you're dying at sea i thought maybe you would just get on
the ocean end up just running aground right across the way like in four days yeah i mean this is my
best chance to not be found it is not my best chance to stay alive and that wasn't what the
question was okay mike do you have any thoughts here my my first thought was the sewer go where nobody wants to go i mean the supply you're asking
me if i can handle a cave and you're like no no no no let's go where they poop some supplies are
definitely a problem getting them down to the sewer, fresh water. Oh, they keep coming. The splice keep coming to you just nonstop.
Oh, my first thought was the sewer.
But I feel like if you go into the sewer, no one's going to find you there.
No, they're not.
No, they're not.
Oh, my God.
Except the Ninja Turtles.
Yeah, the turtles might.
See, there's pizza.
There's tons of pizza down there somewhere.
If there was like still K-Marts and stuff, I would have gone there because no one's coming to there.
Ooh.
All right.
We have time for one more.
You want to go draft, Al?
Let's go draft.
All right.
Let's go draft.
The Spitballers Draft.
You reminded me of another coffee table book I just picked up.
Another one you just picked?
I just picked it up.
Just now.
No, it's Abandoned Shopping Malls.
Oh, that'd be cool.
I grabbed a photographer, went out and did Abandoned Shopping Malls and Abandoned Theme Parks.
So like you said.
I've seen that coffee table book.
Oh my gosh.
It's actually rare.
It's hard to find.
Oh, it was really easy on Amazon.
Oh, okay.
All right.
One click. One click and it find. Oh, it was real easy on Amazon. Oh, okay. All right. One click.
One click and it showed up.
But it is fascinating.
I liked that earlier.
I was like, what kind do you like?
Just things I'm really interested in.
It's like abandoned shopping malls.
Yeah.
You didn't know that about me?
He did the Columbia House for the coffee table books.
So he got 13 coffee table books for a dollar.
But he's got to buy 10 coffee table books for $600.'m going abandoned shopping the sewer the sewer all right we are drafting animated
characters to help you with a bank heist okay so jason you are up first good luck to you thank you
i think there are two like great picks interesting i think there are two that are that are that are pretty much
home runs really helpful for your team there is some chance that i think the second one comes back
to me so that's why i'm going to default even though it might be a better pick i don't know
i'm going right at the top i need the strength i need the muscle okay i need the invulnerability. And I like the dude. It's Mr. Incredible.
I'm taking the dad of the supers.
That's a good pick. That vault door?
What vault door? Rip!
I will tell you this. He is not subtle.
No, no, no, no. No, he's not. They're going to know what you're doing.
But he will protect me. So you took a superhero.
That is right. With your first pick. It's an animated character. he's not. They're going to know what you're doing. But he will protect me. So you took a superhero. That is right.
With your first pick.
I took an animated.
It's an animated character.
That's right.
That's right.
I took Mr. Incredible.
Yeah, I'm fine with it.
Okay.
I'm taking Optimus Prime.
Okay.
Optimus Prime.
I need a getaway vehicle and some action.
It's interesting.
So I'm taking Optimus Prime
from the Transformers series
who can get me out of there. I mean, now,
typical getaway vehicle is probably not a big rig,
but I'm going to steal a lot of money.
I'm going to steal a lot of money and I need the big rig.
If your big rig can also
shoot the
people trying to chase you. It's pretty conspicuous.
Yeah.
How fast can he actually go? That's a good question. uncover you know the people it's pretty conspicuous like yeah you're not you're not seeing any how
fast can he actually go i it's a good question i i think 10 000 miles an hour as a big rig now
here's the real question so this is a getaway vehicle which is great important for a bank
height slash you know muscle but i don't think he can fit in the bank like i don't think he can get
i literally don't think you can get in that bank well Like, I don't think he can get it. I literally don't think you can get in that bank.
Well, he's, he's going to get in one way or another.
He's going in the back.
He's the getaway car and the getaway driver though.
That's all he does.
He just waits.
Right.
That's how I see it.
But he's very strong.
I think he can break into the, uh, the bank.
No, we have a, we have an update here from Al Borland who says that the top speeds for Optimus Prime would be about 124 miles per hour.
I'm fine with it.
That's way higher than I thought it would be.
But that's just top speed.
I'm just thankful I didn't draft the transformer equivalent of a lawnmower in this situation.
So I thought that was a little outside the box there with Optimus Prime.
It is a little bit, but, I mean, isn't there one that turns into a fighter jet?
Starscream or something?
Yeah, but Optimus is a leader.
I need a leader.
I need somebody that's going to come in.
Okay.
There's a lot that you get with Optimus.
That's why he's number one.
And in the end, Optimus always wins, right?
That's one of the good things about-
Not necessarily a big bank robber.
Right.
We both took good guys, which is an issue. We're just going to say that they are fine robbing- He'll talk us out of the robber. Right. We both took good guys, which is an issue.
We're just going to say that they are fine.
He'll talk us out of the bank robbery.
Right.
That's a problem.
It is.
Mr. Incredible is going to arrest me as soon as he helps me rob this bank.
All right.
With my first pick.
Don't do it, Mike.
Well, I'm not going to take who you want here.
Well, I'm not going to take who you want here.
I honestly feel like I could get this person with my fourth pick just knowing who I am drafting with,
and I don't believe you guys have actually watched this show.
But in respect for the character, I'm going to take him first anyways.
I will take Rick Sanchez from Rick and Morty,
and now I'm just educating you guys on who Rick is.
Essentially, the smartest being in the world.
We can jump from multiverse to multiverse,
but there is absolutely nothing that Rick cannot handle.
And I know you guys, I'm getting blank stares here,
and no audio feedback.
I'm sure it's great.
But the people on twitter will let you know
that rick sanchez was the pick to go with you're correct yeah you could have waited till the fourth
pick to get him that is but i had i had to pay respect okay so you're giving it yeah yes all
right and then with my second pick man i also need man i, I got some...
Okay, I'm going to go...
So, he's my brains.
I'm going to...
The way I'm looking at this, I'm trying to construct a team.
Okay.
I mean, Andy's got his getaway driver.
Yes, he has that.
So, and you have your muscle.
Man.
So, whatever.
I'm going to take the muscle here anyway.
So, I got the brains.
I got the leader of the operation.
I'm going to take someone who's invincible. So I got the brains. I got the leader of the operation. I'm going to take someone who's invincible.
He's kind of a big dummy.
So look, if things go south, I could probably pin, he could be my patsy.
I'm going to take the tick.
Oh, man, did I love the tick.
The tick is fantastic.
Yes, thank you.
Now, I know he's showed up in non-animated spots, but as far as I know, he was a cartoon
character first.
Maybe he was a comic book, but I don't know.
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know.
He definitely was a cartoon.
There are no rules.
Yeah, we were talking about I don't want it to be a comic book, but I thought he was a
cartoon character.
I don't care.
Okay.
Just take it.
The tick is fun.
I don't care.
I'm taking it.
And he's animated, and we'll let you have it.
We're a loving group today. Let's go. Today only. All right is fun. I don't care. I'm taking it. And he's animated and we'll let you have it. We're a loving group today.
Let's go.
Today only.
All right, so it's back to me.
That is correct.
You've got one chance to stop my 102 from getting back to me.
Well, look, there's a...
It's Mrs. Incredible, by the way.
Apparently.
No, I want to be the person that drafted this guy twice in the last month and a half.
So I'm going with Inspector Gadget.
I'm taking Inspector Gadget again.
Why are we going back to Inspector Gadget?
You don't understand how much utility he brings to the table.
You need to get into the bank vault?
I promise you he can get into the bank vault.
If you need to get into the bank vault,
the last thing you're doing is get into the bank vault. If you need to get into the bank vault, the last thing you're doing is getting into the bank vault.
If you need pliers, you are getting a blowtorch from Inspector Gadget.
There's plenty.
You're saying because he's a little bit clumsy and a little bit goofy.
He does everything wrong.
How does it end up at the end?
At the end?
Well, wait, wait, wait.
Do you also get his penny in brain?
Do you get penny in brain? Do you get Penny and Brain?
No, you do not. I've got Optimus Prime leading Inspector Gadget.
I'm just fine.
Wait, Owl's with you?
Owl, you think the one I'm running-
You're done right.
Yeah, I would have drafted him first.
That is such a bad pick.
Now, here's the thing.
I get the pick.
You're my man.
I totally understand people liking that pick, but for anybody that thinks, like, oh, like
all the Gidgets and Gasmos aplenty that you're going to get,
you need to go watch the show again.
You just don't remember.
It's like drafting MacGruber to get out of a bomb situation.
No, it is not.
Yes, it is.
Inspector Gadget may be a little bit of a character.
Inspector Gadget gets absolutely nothing correct.
That's the gag.
That's the whole character.
That is the show. It's this guy character. That is the show, is that this
guy with all these tools. Alright, what other superhero
are you drafting next? Alright, baby,
I'm so excited. Wait, are you getting the kid?
The kid from Incredibles? Well,
I feel like because I've got the dad, I can get the rest of the family
with one pick. Is that not correct?
No, no,
look. I'm going to quote Jason, just
so that the world knows. He said
no animated superheroes before the draft.
Yeah, and then he drafted an animated superhero with his first pick.
After we discussed specifically.
I was not a part of that discussion.
I can promise you that.
All right.
So, no, this was the one that I think.
That's a good way to get us off the trail, though.
No drafting this.
I'll take it.
That is a classic Jason move.
Yeah, it is. drafting this. I'll take it. That is a classic Jason Moon. This is what could have been
the one-on-one because when you
want to truly
steal something, break
you need a little bit of supervillain.
You need the gadgets and the gizmos.
And I'm going to take a guy
who tried to steal the moon.
I'm taking Gru
who I love.
Who?
Hello.
Hello.
Oh, I see.
I see.
Gru is... I thought it was Groot for a second.
I am Groot.
No.
GRU.
Gru.
I love those movies.
Those are some of my favorite animated movies in recent memory.
All right.
So I'm back up right you are all
right i was prepared with grew um and now you're unprepared and now i'm going to hello hello all
right i'm gonna take so i've i've got the muscle i've got the gadgets now i'm gonna take the brain The brain. Okay. And I'm going with a little guy who he will do what it takes.
Okay.
He's pretty ruthless.
Dopey.
Stewie.
Stewie Griffin.
Okay.
I'm taking the.
He is a baby though.
Yeah, he is a baby.
Just so you're aware.
Who's going to suspect the baby, Mike?
Well, he is a talking baby.
But he's smart enough to not talk in the right situation.
As long as he doesn't have to reach up at the bank vault handle.
No, that's why I got my muscle.
Mr. Incredible is going to be bossed around by Stewie Griffin.
Okay.
All right.
Is it my pick?
Yes.
I'm taking Pikachu.
To short circuit everything? My team is the best team that has ever been drafted
you're taking pikachu i'm taking pikachu you don't think pikachu could take care of the guards
or do you get are you going regular or detective pikachu i'm going regular pikachu he controls
lightning he does a little bit he'll keep everybody in line. Get on the floor. Oh, so he's the enforcer.
He's the enforcer.
Okay.
He takes out the guards.
I wasn't sure if we were trying to use that electricity to get in the vault.
No, no, no.
Except he's not saying get on the floor.
He's going, pika.
Pika, pika.
It's just him shouting.
They're not getting on the floor.
Pika, pika.
Pika, pika.
And then boom, bam, they get,
look, he has to break a few eggs.
He's going to get someone's getting electrocuted.
Wait, why did Pikachu just electrocute that guy?
And then I don't need him to get into the vault.
Cause inspector gadgets got that.
Okay.
So I've got the classic optimist prime inspector gadget, Pikachu trio.
Oh, saw that coming a mile away.
I'm going to be honest.
Yep.
All right.
Back to you, Mike.
Okay.
I know one pick for sure.
Great.
So I'll just get that one out of the way as I try and stall for time
and figure out the other pick here.
I need to get away.
Like I said, I'm trying to construct a team, a foundational team.
Everyone's got a job.
You think anyone's catching us when my driver is Speed Racer?
Probably not.
It sounds good.
Have you guys ever watched a cartoon in your life?
Yep.
Let me Google it and make sure.
Oh, my gosh, man. gosh man look on paper he sounds
terrific he's pretty fast very fast and he would probably he's a racer and he's very speedy okay
i just never seen him like yeah i've never either but that that's not really your fault you've seen
it swine i am surrounded by you well al did you really enjoy that show? Oh, Al has never seen Speed Racer.
Never seen it.
Okay.
Brooks, you've had it.
I nodded as he made the comment.
Thank you, Brooks.
At least one person has some smarts.
He's not going inside, though.
Speed Racer's clearly waiting on the outside.
I'm just saying Optimus Prime can come inside.
Optimus, we've been over this.
He cannot come inside, or the whole bank is coming down.
You guys are thinking of movie Optimus prime how big is cartoon optimist prime
is not that big is he he's a semi-truck like when he has to at least be the size of a no no no no
if you know optimist prime he's just the front of the semi-truck converted no when he's the back is
always separate wait what when you bought the toy the, the front's the part that converted to the person.
Not the whole back.
That was the play set.
All right.
It looks like Speed Racer aired from January 9th, 1997 to September 25th, 1997.
So it's a huge hit.
People like Speed Racer.
The couple months of 1997?
Yeah.
Okay.
Now, in fairness, the original run went from 1966 to 1968.
There you go.
You uncultured swine.
Then they rebooted it for three months.
You haven't watched the 60s show that had a good, solid couple of months in 1997.
Okay.
Go Speed Racer, go.
That does sound familiar.
It makes perfect sense for the getaway driver.
He's going to be a good driver.
I believe it.
I'm taking Lucy for my little Lucy.
All right, you're up, Mike.
Okay, with my final-
Final pick.
Rick Sanchez, the tick Speed Racer.
This is going to be a close vote.
I can tell you right now.
I'm looking at this and I don't know who's going to win.
I only have muscle left on my list.
I've run out of picks for good jobs here.
Can I tempt you with Gadget Hack Ranch?
What?
Who is that?
Oh, Gadget from the Rescue Rangers?
Yeah.
Look, I don't need to be distracted on the job. I remember Gadget? Oh, Gadget from the Rescue Rangers? Yeah. Look, I don't need to be distracted on the job.
Oh, I remember Gadget now.
I've got to be focused.
Oh, that goes way back.
Look, I am going to take the Iron Giant.
Oh, okay.
So you and Andy will both have that same problem.
We both have a giant robot problem, but in case I have to fight Optimus Prime, I have the Iron Giant.
I was going to say, I don't see what the problem is if you have to break the bank a little bit to get the money out.
Because you're inside of the bank?
Yeah, I mean, it's going to be inconvenient.
It's going to crumble upon you.
He's very tight in there.
He's just balled up, just holding his knees.
All right, I'm having a hard time deciding
my final pick. I have a number
of names that I think are interesting.
Do I have
enough intelligence on my team between Pikachu
and Inspector Gadget? No.
Probably not. I need a plan and therefore
I will go with the brain.
From Pinky and the brain.
The brain. I kind of thought Jason was going to go there.
I did too when he said I need the brain. I would have, but he I kind of thought Jason was going to go there. I did too when he said, I need the Brain.
I would have, but he was recently drafted,
and I was trying to go with some new hotness,
which was Stewie Griffin, apparently.
It's the new hotness.
Okay, so I'm going with the Brain as my final.
We need a plan.
The new hotness actually would be Rick Sanchez, just so you know.
That's fair.
If I watched it, I'm sure you're right.
All right uh final pick
of the draft all right oh man bring it down bring it down flush it you're the you're the one flush
of the day did mike make both of his picks yeah i took the iron giant oh that's right and the iron
giant wait did you not put speed racer down we forgot all about speed racer again so did the
rest of the world it's nice when all
four of your picks might could have been the fourth pick no that's not true the tick might
have got drafted uh he was not on my list but i did man i love the tick i love the show i loved
the cartoon growing up like that was one of my favorites um all right i've got a list of a lot
of different ways i could go here but for some reason, I think Pikachu really threw me off here.
Blastoise?
Well, just needing the crowd control.
Crowd control is right.
Needing the crowd control.
Now, again, I think you're going to have a problem because Pika is not good English.
Yeah.
But Yosemite Sam is going to be out there.
You're drafting Yosemite Sam is gonna be out there you're drafting Yosemite Sam I mean you got
how do you rob a bank without your your six shooters you gotta be you drafted Yosemite Sam
I uh yes yes I did a lot of the people on my list are all brains and muscle I didn't have control I
wanted I wanted crowd control here. Now he's a little
You could have gone with like Bugs Bunny.
He's a little out of control. Bugs Bunny doesn't have
shooters? Yeah, Yosemite Sam's got
a gun. Yeah, that's the point.
The point is he's got the little pop out. Okay, this draft
went nowhere I expected.
Nowhere at all. I'm ashamed
to tell you, Mike, I had Yosemite Sam on the
list. What are you? It's a good
pick. It's not. How is that not a good pick? It was on the list. What are you. It's a good. It's not.
How is that not a good pick. It was on the list along with I was very close. We can do

grew Stewie Griffin Yosemite Sam Mike has Rick Sanchez the tech speed racer and the
Iron Giant and I have Optimus Prime Inspector Gadget Pikachu and the brain. OK. All right.

We all showed that level of self-control.
Yes.
He's been drafted before.
Darkwing Duck, was that in consideration to anybody?

I did not have him on my list.
Very nice.
And then Looney Tunes-wise, I thought about the Tasmanian Devil to kind of stir that's a great pick. I did not have him on my list. Very nice. And then Looney Tunes wise, I thought about
the Tasmanian Devil to kind of
