Mike also takes the time to educate the public on what a ‘Rosy Turd’ is. In ‘The Situation Room’ we discuss the etiquette of dentist hygiene. Not dental hygiene but the cleanliness of our dentists.

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. You cut that off way too soon, man. I was in it. I should have kept going. I was in the seat. We had lifted off.

The wheels were about to go up. I should have kept going. And then... I didn't have any air left. Yeah. Welcome to the Spitballers Podcast. Andy Mack and Jason back again. Spitballerspod.com. The Twitter is at Spitballers Podcast. Andy Mack and Jason back again. Spitballerspod.com.

The Twitter is at SpitballersPod. Welcome in. It's going to be a doozy. Oh, it's going to be a doozy. What was that? That was the... Are you passing gas? What's going to be the doozy?

I'll tell you what's going to be the doozy. Goodness, check his pants. He took a dump. I took a dump with my mouth. This is going to be an excellent show because we had a huge lunch right before this. And I'm ready to pass out in word vomit as my brain has disintegrated into mush. Well, that's the best time to give life advice. You're darn right it is.

Would you rather on the show we've got a draft? They say you're never more honest than when you're full of nachos? Of rice and beans and quesadillas and cheese crisps. And so you'll get the honest version of the show. Thanks to everybody out there subscribing, reviewing, supporting. We appreciate you, all the spitw everybody out there subscribing, reviewing, supporting. We appreciate you. All the spitwads out there listening. We appreciate all of your ideas in the comments

on youtube.com slash spitballers. Especially the good ones. Mostly the good ones. The bad ones, we appreciate them. Yeah, they're fine. Just do better. They could be better, but they're fine like when you read the idea and you go that's a good idea yeah leave it there oh yeah yeah we need we

need draft ideas um all sorts of draft ideas in the comments on twitter send them across we'll do them we'll we'll do the drafts on the show i promise oftentimes we've done them yes we have all right let's get started. Would you rather... Alright, Kiko from Twitter writes in. He says, would you rather have yellow teeth and minty fresh breath or pearly

white teeth and horrendous breath? Wow. That is... That's a conundrum because you can always i mean like if you have bad breath you've got chronic bad breath you that's that's a plight that's something you don't want to live with honestly you can chew gum though you can do that but i would say that the majority of people with the the horrendous breath are living in bliss they don't they have no idea it does seem like bad clearly because because they do something about it yeah they wouldn't have bad breath if they knew and you

can't tell people well to be fair i have bad breath right now and i'm doing nothing about it but you know yeah that's why I'm keeping my distance. I just don't know how you tell a person with bad breath that they have bad breath. It's rough. Oh, my wife tells me all the time. No, no, no, no. Well, that's different. That's different. Wives can tell.

I tell my children to tell me when my breath is bad. But a stranger, a friend, a co-worker, that's... A stranger? Oh, a stranger, that'd be rough excuse me sir your breath is terrible how bad like you're the rest of your day is ruined i'm just going through i'm in the grocery store grabbing my cantaloupe excuse me sir some elderly gentlemen your breath is rancid i'll'll be like, oh, what? I mean, because I don't think clearly these people have been offered gum and mints their whole life,

and they have not picked up on the fact that there's some stank. That's how you tell someone that they've got bad breath. Yes, that's the polite way. That's self-preservation as well. Right. Now, do you offer them, or do you ask? You pull out your out your gum and always put it in your mouth right near that i was just gonna say that they asked do you pull out the gum

and say oh do you want a piece of gum and they say yes and then you don't even take one you just what what about when you pull out the gum and you're like oh you want a piece of gum and they're like no i'm good i mean i think it's fair to say here, you don't get to circumvent your horrendous breath with some gum chewing. You got bad breath or you got nice teeth. Well, it's like when you go in the bathroom and you're like, wow, it smells like a rosy turd in here.

Because someone goes to the bathroom and they try to cover it up with some potpourri. It doesn't smell like potpourri. No, it smells like poop mixed with potpourri. There's a turd in the flower bed. Okay. I've never heard that referred to as a rosy turd. Because no one has ever uttered that phrase until a genius like me came through.

You notice that sometimes your house, you might have a bad bag of trash in the house. Yes. But you don't know. Because everybody the house has is in the house right and then somebody leaves they go to the store they go to work they come back from work they walk in the door and they go oh my gosh it's terrible in here but everybody else in the house really i didn't know that that's that's life for the bad breath guy. They don't know. They don't know. And maybe their friends and family don't even know anymore. And here's the worst thing for the bad breath guy or gal.

Is that they have experienced it in other people too. It's not like they're the bad breath person so they have no idea what it's like. And that's what makes telling them so important yet difficult. Right. Now I used to go to an orthodontist, got braces as a kid. I would go in to get my braces adjusted, right? They tighten them up. They put new bands on them, whatever they do.

Torture you. They torture you. Well, the torture was so much worse for me because I would always get the same nurse. And the same nurse would always have just finished eating something and mixed in with her terrible breath. And I had to sit there while she's working in my mouth with awful breath is like a 10, 11 year old. I feel like if you are a an assistant working at a dentist office or an orthodontist office and you have bad breath, that's a fireable offense. Like your entire job is oral hygiene. She, and you have bad breath, that's a fireable offense. Like, your entire job is oral hygiene. She didn't just have bad breath.

She had bad breath. She would always eat before she saw me, and so she'd be, like, cleaning her mouth out with, like, the snacks, and she'd always have a cigarette break right before. Oh! That is not a joke. No! Yes, yes.

Eventually, I had my mom call the dentist's office and request some other nurse to do my... Wow. Did she give a reason? Yeah. I think they had to have a little argument about... She was bad at her job, too. On the top of it all, she'd always poke me and prod me.

But yeah, bad breath. That's so embarrassing. You can't be like close to anyone i'll take the yellow teeth and i'll just keep my mouth shut but if you've got the white teeth you've also got the bliss you don't the what you the bliss the ignorance you don't know that you've got bad breath no you in this scenario you know so i know i know this so i'm just terrified to talk to anybody you know you have horrific breath. You have pearly whites. You have a movie star smile.

It's kind of like right now. Your teeth are wonderful. Yeah, and breath. Your teeth are perfect. I guess then I'll take the yellow teeth with the fresh minty breath. I will take the bad breath. The pirate's life for you. Wait, what are you taking?

I'm taking the bad breath. Oh, you want the nice teeth yes alright nice thing is for this job you know we're on YouTube I can't smell my breath they can see the pearly whites do you guys this might sound strange so I'll try to explain the best I can but like you'll be

watching a movie you know and you're in the comfort of your own home you got the air so you got it like it's 75 in your house you are in the comfort of your own home. You got the air. It's 75 in your house. You are living the life, and you're watching these people who are in just horrible places when it comes to weather. Do you feel it?

No. That's what I'm saying. I cannot embody these characters. I can't get into the scene because I'm like, wow. Because you're too comfortable? Because it's so nice in my house. I don't feel their pain coming through. You turn your heat way up and you watch like a...

So I've never felt their pain because I'm not there. Because you're a sociopath. We got it. No, but I can empathize. I can empathize with what the character is going through without feeling cold myself. What we do, Mike, is we go, man, I remember that time in my life I was really hot and that must be what they feel like.

Or, alternatively, if I've never been in whatever crazy situation they are, I use what I call my imagination and I say, what would it be like to see what this character is going through? I have not been to Mars. I'm far too comfortable to enjoy this movie. That's what I say. It's hard to through. I have not been to Mars. I'm far too comfortable to enjoy this movie.

That's what I say. It's hard to explain. I'm not stranded on Mars. But like, I don't relate. Or so they'll be like, let's say they're in the jungle and you'll like romanticize what they're doing because you are comfortable. You're not imagining actually being on that location going,

oh wow, the humidity there must be 95%. It's 95 degrees, except it looks awesome. You are right. We do not understand. Okay. All right. I think it's the movie's job to tell us all those issues. If they're not having issues, if I'm able to romanticize their plight in this jungle,

it's because the movie has done a bad job realizing that plight. Well, I hope I've ruined movies and you guys start doing this from now on. I'm going to keep an eye out and I'm going to see. I think my imagination will cover this problem. Would you rather have a one minute conversation with your past self or your future self? Wow. One minute.

One minute. One minute. Yes. One minute conversation. My future self. Well, see the future self, you're getting information from them. The past self, you're telling information to them. That's the way I would view it, right? Your past self, you want to give them one minute worth of information that fixes your future. Hold on.

Now we're in a time travel paradox. This doesn't make sense because they're both the same thing. No, because they're in alternate realities, Jason. Okay. If you talk to your past self, that is a different timeline that has moved on. You are no longer a part of it. You're making the argument that as long as you talk to your past self, you're talking to your future

self. 100%. Because they'll have the information of the past. Because if I go and talk to my past self, then I now remember that. It's like Bill and Ted. No, you're wrong. That's the way that my reality would work. I am choosing both. You can't go back in the past let's say you go in the past you don't get any information about what happens later

there's no way to get information i'm taking the back to the future approach here the back to the future approach it says when i go back in the future or back back to the past right yeah when i go back there and i do something the picture disappears because that never happened anymore you know what i mean but you will still never be able to find out what happens tomorrow by going and talking to the past so if your future self no but you will know that this conversation like you'll you'll know everything that has already happened in the conversation for sure if you're talking to your past self because now you're actually just you have already lived through it and you're just reliving the conversation from the other side of the story i wish you guys could see what's going on in my brain right now it's

it's this empty void of confusion borland borland time travel is very it's not no you're over complicated this is not that confusing right no no here's the thing you go to the future and you could you could say hey what happens how are my kids how am i doing what's going on what's the lotto number from last week whatever or you can go to the past and say hey in a couple years don't date that girl in a couple years don't make that decision when i get back to the present did i did that change theoretically yes you've you could potentially save something bad from happening and yes your new your new reality is what i'm saying though is if you tell your past self to do something like avoid this relationship

the second you say it it's now gone from your memories because you've never actually you created an alternate timeline though yeah so you're just talk to your future self. Yeah, you're helping the past self. It's not going to do any good for you. You're helping a different version of yourself that doesn't actually exist. Man. Okay, well, now I know. This question could easily be interpreted much

more simply. Let me ask you this. Would you rather know what's going to happen or be able to fix something? No, no, no. Or would you rather know what's going to happen or be able to fix something? Or know what's already happened. Or would you rather know what's going to happen or be able to fix something that already happened? It's the same question. No, because if you fix it, then it never actually happened, and you can't fix it.

You don't have a regret, a mistake, something in your past that you wish you did differently? But if I did it different, then I wouldn't have it exactly me and jason are with you now we're talking to the future self and i'm living my new best life for i understand what you're trying to say but you're defeating the argument of like would you rather fix something that's happened or would you rather just know something is going to happen? Yeah. And that could just be a question of like, hey, have you made a giant mistake you wish you could undo?

Sure. Well, I'm perfect, so I'm good. Is there any sweet advice you'd give your former self that you didn't have when you were 20? What would be your minute conversation in the past, Mike? What would you... Like, don't put those JNCOs on? No. No, that was a great decision. Yeah, Mike lives with no regrets. Any tattoos you... Like, don't put those JNCOs on? No. No, that was a great decision.

Yeah, Mike lives with no regrets. Any tattoos you wish you didn't get? Probably my first one. Yeah? Yeah. But then when you tell, don't get this tattoo, maybe that self took this as a way bigger... It could be even worse. Now you come to the future, you have none. You didn't get any. You thought this was... Did you get that Bieber tattoo removed

or no? Not yet. Okay. Not yet. Living that Justin life. What would you say to your past self then, Jay? Do you not know? Oh, man. What would I say to my past self? That you can say publicly. What would I say?

See, that's the other easy part about this conversation, right? But you only got a minute. If you say you've got one minute, go to the future, I know exactly... All I have to do is listen. What would you say, though? You got one minute in the future. What information do you really want? I would say...

Well, first of all, it would be obvious how old I am at least. Right? You would ask how old you are? Yeah, I'd say, how old are you? You'd say, I'm 62. I'd be like, yes, I'm going skydiving tomorrow. Because you think you're impenetrable now that's not true

oh that's are you saying to me that the vase wouldn't have broke if she never said that the vase broke that's exactly what I'm saying we gotta move on to the next question have your favorite movie or TV show

wait what is this question would you rather have your favorite movie or TV show... Wait, what is this question? Would you rather have your favorite movie or TV show ruined? I think it's would you rather have your favorite movie ruined or your favorite TV show ruined? Movie. 100%. Movie? 100%.

Because it's an isolated... Yes. It's one thing. Like, and I'll give the spoiler on this. No, my favorite movie is Braveheart. The Statue of Limitations is well over for Braveheart. You've had 20 years. Like, he dies.

Like, okay, that stinks. But I was not invested. It's also historical. It's Hollywooded up, but it's still based off of an actual historical figure. Right. No, don't tell me that. But the thing is, when you have a TV show. All historical figures are dead.

When you have a TV show that's ruined, You could be seven years into the story. Are you the kind of people that really hate spoilers? Oh. Because there are some people. I just talked to somebody at the gym the other day. They go, you can't spoil anything for me. I look for spoilers. Before they see the movie, they go out and they try to figure out what happens in the movie.

Why experience it then? That's their personality. What? Why would they want to do that? They don't care. They just want more information about it how do you not care it's the mike people do watch twice well no hold on people do watch trailers for a reason they kind of want to be enticed this person would like the trailer

to tell them everything because they want to be super enticed right but the trailer for Sixth Sense wasn't Bruce Willis going, ooh. But this person wished that it was. That movie would not have been nearly as successful if that was right there in the trailer. If everybody knew that going in, it would never have been a hit at all. Hold on. There are people that want to know the ending. Yes. This is blowing my mind right now.

Yep. They're serial killers. They're all serial killers. There is something wrong if you want to know the ending. I stand by this. Shall we dish out some advice? Yes. Spitwads, when it comes to fitness, I understand. You put it off. Look, oh, the holidays are coming up.

Needs some life advice. And who better to ask, honestly, than Jason, Mike, myself? We dish it out. It's always perfect advice. If you follow it, you will be able to go into the past or future. One and the same, my friend. I need some life advice, and you are the only three I trust. I am a dentist.

I know. I'm sorry. I'm a human just like everyone else. There's nothing wrong with being a dentist. I'm polite, so I don't use the bathroom in the office because it's small and the smell would be very noticeable. Instead, I walked down the hall to the public restroom. The other day, I finished my business and walked out to wash my hands, only to see the man whose mouth I am about to put my fingers into. What?

It was wildly awkward. Now what do I do? Well, first of all, first of all, you're not washing your hands. You're scrubbing in. At this point, this is full on doctor scrub into the elbows. You're rolling up the sleeves, and you have to be holding your hands vertically. Your arms have to be held out vertically to show how important this is to you. And you start scrubbing.

You're taking a bath in this bathroom. That's step one. I agree that you need to make a very vigorous effort with your washing. You then need to follow it up with basically a secondary wash at the office that you carry on into the room. You need to be like wiping down with some antiseptic or some something and then you're coming in the room and you're clearly once again evidencing that you're drying your hands right now what if he goes the other way or gloves what if he goes the other way and he just lets a little piece of chocolate melt right on his finger he's a bad dentist mike

man you're opening up a whole new world for me, though. Like, I've never thought that I could possibly eat chocolate and have my dental work done at the same time. Well, I'm just inferring that the dentist did not wash his hands. No, I know what you're inferring. I'm moving on from the fact that, I mean, maybe if it's a close friend of yours, that's a joke you play on him. Wait. You guys love pranks. I like a prank this one this this is the one that's too far this one is this one he's a professional

he could lose his tooth license yeah like your tooth license he's licensed to two licenses to oh man i'm so good at toothing. You didn't know they have to get licensed in each type of tooth? Molars? Oh, man. Canines? Bicuspids? That's the tough one.

Yeah. What are these? What are your front ones? What are those called? What are those? Are those just front? Those are just your front teeth. Basics?

Are those your bunnies? That's what I call them. What are your front teeth? Borland, do you know what your front teeth are called i'm sure you do i don't know why don't you effort that over there we'll come back to you i will call them please look up your dental handbook cuspids they are not by they're not by there's only there's only one singular one cusp to them are those are those the incisors oh no incisors are your canine those are your sharp teeth yeah that's my meat teeth that's

right the front teeth between your canines are called incisors i take it back those are your incisors wow yeah that's a really intense name for a flat dull tooth yeah it's the incisor i think what happened is when these first were getting named, the guy said it wrong. Those are the insiders. They're inside the... But he probably had the Cottoners, Ralphers. These are the insiders. And so they're the incisors. And is everything reversed?

Everything on the bottom is the same name as the top? Yeah, those are the outsizers now. So you've got the incisors. Stay golden. And the outsizers. In this situation, I don't know what you do other than scrub up, put the gloves on. You have to go. And then go.

Sorry about that poop in there. You go back into the bathroom with the guy, and you just prove it. Wash your hands again. Wait, wait, wait. I want to show you something. Turn on the water. Use the soap. This doesn't really matter, right?

Because he's going to wear gloves. Dentists don't normally wear gloves. Yes, they do. What? No, they don't. What kind of dentist do you have? Your dentist doesn't wear gloves, right? Because he's going to wear gloves. Dentists don't normally wear gloves. Yes, they do. What? No, they don't. What kind of dentist do you have? Your dentist doesn't wear gloves? They don't?

Your dentist has. If your dentist doesn't wear gloves. Holy crap. You've got a program. What dentist are you going to? I'm pretty sure my wife just visited your dentist. Hold on. And he wore gloves?

I'm going to have to ask her now. Does your dentist only accept cash? Yeah. Do you go to? I'm going to have to ask her now. Does your dentist only accept cash? Yeah. Do you go to his home to have the dental work done? How did you guys know all this stuff? And there's free roaming cats. Yeah. Yeah.

Sounds about right. My question was going to be- And his wife is the dental hygienist, right? Yes. Isn't that normal? Yeah, very normal. Your teeth go full out. My teeth are in trouble.

I'm going to contact my wife immediately. But if you're wearing gloves, does it matter? Yes, it still matters. Mike, you're the guy that's caught in there. You're in there. You know he just dropped one. He's washing up. Are you very comfortable in that chair?

I'm fine. All right. Dan from the website, I've been invited over to a friend's house for dinner. He's washing up. Are you very comfortable in that chair? I'm fine. All right. Dan from the website, I've been invited over to a friend's house for dinner. The food is good, but could really use some extra spice. What is the appropriate amount of spices to ask for? Salt and pepper are okay, but what if I wanted more spices? Is that okay? This is a very needy, entitled individual.

Yeah. Did you bring a spice belt? Utility belt? I got my paprika. I got my garlic salt. Oh, man. I mean, this person is really into... If you go to a place...

You can't handle just salt and pepper? Where it is not spiced enough. What else would you ask for? I literally don't know because I'm not a Cholula. Besides a hot sauce or a ketchup, that's a condiment. You don't say I need extra...

Like a crushed red pepper or something like that. Sure. He busts out his own crushed red pepper. I'm confused here on... Like, is this spices? Or is this it needed more spice? Like, it needed to be spicy. Because that's easy.

That's hot sauce. Well, I don't think it's that one, Jay, because he talks about salt and pepper being okay. But I wanted more spices. So more things like salt and pepper. Excuse me, do you have an herb garden? May I visit it? I need some human, please. Look, eat what they cook.

Yes, eat what they cook. You're fine. You've been invited to a friend's house. You literally said, the food is good. The food is good. It's not great. I only eat great food. This has to be a friend.

He has dinner over there every week, right? And every week he's left wanting. Yeah. Oh, man. Yeah. It's going to. Dan. Dan.

It's going to be okay. It's going to be all right. You're fine. I mean, I know my wife and I, we like to over flavor foods. And it is really annoying when we go to the bland house. It's like, okay, these mashed potatoes are like, where's the butter? More butter, more salt, more everything. Just to be clear, when you say you like to overflavor foods, what you mean is put butter in different foods in bigger quantities.

Larger amounts of butter. Yes, that's what I just said. Have you been to a house where you're a guest and they're serving foods and they're just really all. No, no chance you would touch these foods in your own context, like you would never eat that vegetable. You never eat that main dish. You would never eat that. None of it. None of it.

Have you been in a situation where you've had a very uncomfortable get because you kind of got to gag it down at that point or leave a bunch on your plate thankfully no i was gonna say it's such a blessing and a curse to be able to eat all of the things see i i had a situation where the first time i met my wife's yeah parents she had told them wrong information about the foods i like, and I had two foods that I had. I was forced to eat them to make a good first impression. So it's an awkward situation.

What food? What was it? It was like Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes. Oh, which one of those Brussels sprouts is great. Yes. But I wasn't a fan of either at the time, and I just had to choke it down. I'm going to say that if- Did you ask for ranch?

I should have. That's what I- You got any ranch? Got any more spices? Can I get some more spices, please? Dan, no one likes you. All right, Chris from the website. This is about a four star.

The food is good. Do you mind if I cook next time? The food's good. Yeah, that's right. You cook, Dan. Thank you for your question. All right. Chris says, recently, my son got in trouble at school for throwing a piece of pizza on

a windowsill. I want to be the parent. What? on a windowsill. I want to be the parent. I want to be a parent and punish him, but at the same time, it's pretty funny. What do you guys

do when you feel like you need to discipline your kid, but what they did is actually really, really funny? Oh, man. Oh, this speaks to my heart because my number one goal as a parent is to make my kids funny. Like, that is probably way too high on my priority list.

Can you make somebody funny? Yeah, we've trained them up. We've definitely trained them up. They understand all the art of sarcasm. Really? Did you invite someone over to do that, or is it? My wife. It's all been my wife.

All right. All right. Well done. But this actually brings a memory back for me. I remember I got in trouble once in grade school. It was either seventh or eighth grade, and I got sent to the principal's office one time. And it was for writing inappropriate things in the yearbooks of some fellow female friends of mine. All right. And, you know, it wasn't like the end of the world stuff.

And these were actual, like, I wouldn't write this in people I didn't know, but, like, I was really close with these people. Sure. I was like, hey, call me this summer. Sure. 1-800-2-WORD right right right but if you uh if you were the father right reading reading your daughter's book going what is happening at this school yeah the kids did not have a problem with it it was the kids parents that didn't like it so much and so they contacted the principal principal pulls me out

i come to like to the tune where i wait i had to wait in the principal's office for my mother to come from work to pick me up. And I was suspended for a couple days. So this was the biggest thing that ever happened. They suspended you? That's almost as bad as any punishment you can get in grade school. They suspended you? Yes, for a couple days. And this was easily the biggest I had ever been in trouble.

But here's the thing. And I will remember this forever. It was so amazing. In the principal's office, my mother made me feel extremely small. And she was the parent. And she was going to take control of the situation. And we got in the car. And she drove me to Tony Roma's for some ribs and we had a whole play date and it was a blast.

And I had so much fun on that suspension and I never got in trouble because she knew. She knew like, okay, these were friends. I know that you are friends with them. And it was like, okay, it's inappropriate. You should not have done that. But they're like, come on. This is like, you probably should throw your pizza on a windowsill.

How did that make you feel? But come on, on a windowsill. How did that make you feel? But come on, it's pretty funny. How did that make you feel? It was one of those bonding moments with my mother that was like, it helped our relationship. I have the same type of story. I've always remembered when your parent is your biggest advocate and they don't take things too seriously. Because I made like a videotape.

You guys know from early Spitballer Show, I was pretty good with the recording. Yes. The recording tape. You were a high-tech man. And I made a poor choice. I was mad at a friend. I was a young lad, had a couple other friends over. We were all mad at this other friend,

so we made a fake radio show on a tape. And we made fun of that friend, and we made fun of that friend and we made fun of that friend's mom on the tape we did impressions and it was real real funny to us and what i kid you not what happened is is we became we obviously reconciled with the other friend in like a day so we think it's fine to tell him what we did and play him the tape. And lo and behold, the next day, that mom showed up at our house. I think I remember.

And it was so embarrassing for me. I felt so bad. And then I played the tape for my dad. And he may or may not have laughed a lot. A lot. And we felt really bad and we were sorry genuinely sorry but having him not be super angry and upset and having him go to bed for you like you did and he destroyed the tape this also very much depends on the child please parents understand this not all of our kids are

good okay because i remember being a grade school and there was like this just real bad apple. And he was always getting to the principal's office every time the parents were like, my kid would never. And so they never, ever, ever corrected that kid's course back. Because they didn't believe they were actually guilty? They did not. Yeah, 100%. So, know your kid.

If they're good. If this kid's going to throw pizza on windowsills the rest of his life, he might need to have a conversation with him. Yeah. Also, give me a slice that's yeah i mean if there's any if there's any punishment handed down uh chris it's your son does not know the true value of pizza yeah you ground him from pizza for a month you don't get pizza for a month don't get that's a little unusual too's too much. I felt bad when I said it. Can we edit that out? You ground your kid?

We got to edit that out. That was too far. You ground your kid from pizza? You know who else you just grounded from pizza? Oh, no, no, no. No, sir. I'm ordering me some pizza. I'm eating it right in front of him.

Just nom, nom, nom, nom. Bet you wish you had some of this. You're going to have extra pizza. I guess that's not a problem for you. Sorry. Whoops, you got extra pizza. All right, let's draft. Hey, Spitwads.

The Spitballers Draft. All right, we are returning to the world of TV and movies, drafting the best comedy movies of all time. Now, I have a feeling that these movies will probably fit the context of our own ages in life and the movies that we loved growing up. Not some list of older movies that we didn't grow up in. I have an infinite amount of comedy movies that I love. Now, I have a first pick in this draft. And for me, there's only one movie that jumped into my mind. It's kind of like just an all-time great and a classic

and one that can be rewatched and that you die laughing at. And that's Dumb and Dumber, so I'm going to take number one. I'm going to take Dumb and Dumber number one. I'm very happy to hear that because I would have had to consider it knowing that it would not make it through Jason's book and picks. And then I would have to gamble the pick that I actually wanted to go with. That's fine. So I'm dumb and dumber.

Number one. It's a solid pick. I'm going to go with what I think is the funniest movie, the most rewatchable comedy. Stars the one and the only Ron Burgundy. I will take Anchorman with my first pick. Certainly. I don't know if there is a single line in that movie that you can't find a place in your life to quote it.

No, Ron Burgundy is fantastic. Will Ferrell is one of the goats, and that movie would not have come back to you. Al Borland, did you see dumb and dumber when you were a, a wee lad? I did. Yes.

Okay. And, uh, uh, Brooksie, did you just not? Okay. I said,

cause I love dumb and dumber into us, our age group. It's like, this is one of the best comedies of all time, but I feel like once my kids are of age and i'm like i gotta show you this hilarious movie nope i feel like i promise i am very concerned it won't i i will i will stake everything i own on it holding up i promise you it will all right i mean that's a very strong words from a man who didn't even pick it well Well, I couldn't pick it. Am I allowed to pick it now?

No, no. I'm just saying. I will pick Dumb and Dumber. You have historically been a disparager of others' picks. I don't disparage great picks. I just disparage bad picks, which just so happens to be all the time around me. Okay, so obviously Ace Ventura, that's locked and loaded

because the first two picks should be... Wow, so Carrie is pulling down two of our top three comedies of all time. Yes, it would have been Ace Ventura and Dumb and Dumber. I would have had a real hard time picking between those two. So the fact that you made the choice a little bit easy. I guess I'm at the turn here, so it would have been great if they both got back to me. I would have gone Anchorman as well. That was next on my list.

Excellent. So we're doing pretty well here. Spitwads, go watch these movies. Enjoy yourself. So now... I think this is where it gets far more interesting. Yes, it gets far more interesting, much more difficult here. I've got a list of different types.

Yeah. So I'm going to go a little deeper here. This movie does not get enough credit. I don't think it was quite our age group's massive runaway hit the way that some of the Jim Carrey and Will Ferrell movies were. But it's genuinely one of the funniest movies I have ever watched. I watched it again a couple weeks ago and I just forgot how loud loud out loud funny it was sparked the whole trilogy but i'm taking the first hangover movie the hangover well is un unbelievably you're going with the hangover yes it is it is unbelievably funny it really is i guess it you're right man

i think that the i think the two movies after the two movies after have soiled the legacy of how good that movie actually was. I'm not taking the series. I'm taking the first one. Mike, that means it's up to you. Right. Jason, you've got to be thrilled having the third pick in the draft and getting your pride and joy Ace Ventura, the one that you live. I mean, look, my main league, my fantasy football team name is the Ventura Bravehearts because

they're the two best movies of all time. All right. Ace Ventura and Braveheart. You ever watch them back to back? Have you ever seen either of those movies? Ace Ventura or Braveheart, the two best movies of all time. Have you seen either? I have not.

You are a loser. Genuine question. Have you ever been inside of like a movie video store? Like a blockbuster from the days of old? Oh yeah. Oh okay. Doubt it. What does it look like? Describe it to me.

Oh dang it. So I've got a, this is trouble for me because there's a duo of movies from a superstar comedian. And I... Picking between... Like, this is a real...

I know exactly which... And you realize that I'm in full Sophie's Choice over here. Oh, yeah, because they probably won't get past me? Well, I'm taking one of them, but which one is actually funnier? I don't know the answer i know which one's actually funny i mean you without a doubt and honestly go for it go for it i'm gonna take happy gilmore all right all right that was a choice you could make yeah so what is your team happy gilmore and what is your first anchor man and happy gilmore happy gilmore great movie

obviously you were considering that or Billy Madison. That is what I was doing. I've got two that I need to select. I have Dumb and Dumber as my first pick. Man, I'm going to take Tommy Boy. Tommy Boy is 100% being picked. That was the answer to the two movies that I thought you were thinking, Tommy Boy or Black Sheep.

We can throw that out because I like Black Sheep. Black Sheep is not anywhere in the realm. Yeah, I agree. It's funnier than Remember because it was a letdown from Tommy Boy. But I will just say this. When you brought this up and I wrote Tommy Boy down on my list, I feel like I was not allowed to breathe until after Andy picked. There was no way that four picks Tommy Boy was coming back.

I know that, but it's devastating. I've never seen a comedy movie more times than Tommy Boy. The age I was growing up, when it came out, I watched that movie like once a week for like a year. That's how often I... Right. You call him from Milwaukee, Tucky? Yeah.

That's fantastic. Did I catch a niner? Dumb and Dumber, Tommy Boy, and one more pick. And this one, it gets harder. because I could leave you with the double. Sure. See what happens. But what do I think gets back to me? This is really difficult.

All right, I'm going to take Billy Madison. I'll just take it. I don't want you to have both. And it was so funny. I thought you were going to let it go through. So funny. I'm not going to let it go through. Which one did you take?

I took Gilmore. I'm just a little sad because I have two others I'd like'm not going to let it go through. Which one did you take? I took Gilmore. I'm just a little sad because I have two others I'd like to take and only get one more pick. Which one do you think is better, Jay? Gilmore. Yeah? Yeah. I honestly don't know. I actually think it's a teeny bit better.

When I was- It depends on your personality. When I was that age, we had a group of three of us that were absolute best friends. And the amount of times that together we watched Happy Gilmore. It was like we had a summer where apparently all we did was watch Happy Gilmore. I'm telling you, as kids, you had lots of time. And you just watched movies over and over. That's what I'm learning.

So I have Dumb and Dumber, Tommy Boy, and Billy Madison. Mike, it's back to you. You have Anchorman, Gilmore and the, we're now we're riding the struggle bus, my friends. Cause no, no one is clearly separating themselves from the top. Oh, I'm really upset that you took Billy Madison because I think I would have easily won the one, the entire draft. If you would let that one drop. I have three picks. Three movies that I really want to pick from.

And clearly I only have two picks left. So I'm going to take... Sorry, guys. I'm struggling. No, this is really really tough. I'm struggling over here. People are screaming on the other end of the podcast. Oh, they're screaming out their favorite, like... Screaming out their favorite movie.

I have a feeling some of the ones that are older than us are screaming out some older movies. Yeah, and honestly, there's... And there's some great ones. There's some older movies on my list here. So... I just don't... I have no idea what Jason's going to take, which is also eating into me.

I will take... You're going to pass. No, I'm not going to pass. I'm going to take my favorite movie, even though I think it's not necessarily the vote-getter, but it's what I think is the funniest movie of all time. I will take Airplane. Airplane is on my list and one of the funniest movies of all time, I will take Airplane. Oh, okay. Airplane is

on my list and one of the funniest movies of all time. I just knew that it would, like, I would have taken it first, but I knew it would fall in the draft. I'll be honest with you. If you didn't bring up Billy Madison, I probably would have taken Airplane. Oh, well, that works. There you go. It works out. So, is Airplane really your favorite?

Airplane is the funniest movie ever made. It is so knocked down funny at every... You know, you make fun of me for why I like the comedy inside of M.A.S.H. That's quick hit over and over and over again. That's the kind of humor in Airplane. It's like every line... I'll be honest. I've never seen M.A.S.H.

Yeah. It's like every single line of Airplane is a joke within a joke. Yes. And that's what's fun about it. Good for you. That's a great pick. That's a great pick. Anchorman, Happy Gilmore Airplane, I think you have a great team.

Yeah, this is really tough. You've got two picks, Jay. Yeah, I've got two picks. If you somehow take my two movies, I will quit the show. I can't imagine that I would take your two movies here. I can't either. We're a bit different here. Yeah, we've got different tastes.

But, I mean, it's so funny because there's so many great movies, but I don't want to take any of them. Because when I take them, let me explain it, because I see the look on Brooks' face in the background. What the heck does that mean? I don't want to take any because when I select any of them. You feel like you're insulting the others? I am deselecting all the others.

And it's like, no, that's not... You can pass. That would be... I almost did. You can go into the vote with Ace Ventura and The Hangover, nothing else. Ace Ventura and The Hangover. All right, I'm going to take Wedding Crashers. That one is...

You are blowing my mind here. Yeah? No, it's great. But just not what you expected. Yeah. I would not expect you to say that's one of the funniest movies of all time. Yeah. He wants...

He needs his toe dipped into the Adam Sandler waters. Well, then he needs a ticket. Oh, no. I was thinking of Wedding Singer. That's what I was thinking of. My bad. You know, I do... I see a giant gap.

Devante Foreman. The fact that I don't have the famous SNL actor movies. You know what I mean? Like, we've got Will Ferrell movies. We've got Adam Sandler movies. We've got Chris Farley movies. And mine are... Chevy Chases.

I'm saying in this already been drafted. Right. And mine are not that wrapped. Dan Aykroyd's. So the last one is really, really tough. Fletch is there, Jay. Honestly, super funny movie. I just made so many people mad by making fun of Fletch.

Yeah, Fletch is great. What does that look for? You don't like Fletch? No, I'm waiting for you to make a pick. It's never going to happen. So continue winning. Ace Ventura, The Hangover, Wedding Crashers. I'm glad it's not just me.

Well, so here's the thing. I've got two movies I'm deciding between, right? One is much more of a comedy movie. The other is, I mean, they're both. The other one's a romance. This one's a comedy, but this one's a comedy. Well, you'll understand because I think I'm going to take it. All right.

When I first thought of, No, I'm not. Oh, my God. I'm really struggling. The struggle is real. That's how I felt. And then I just felt the weights of the pressure and I just picked airplanes. Okay. I know there's no way either of you would pick it.

I know it would. So I'll bring it up at the end. I'm going to take the 40-year-old virgin. I think that that movie was extremely funny. It is, but really? Yeah, Steve. Mike's mind is being blown with all of these. It is.

So, and I'll even bring up the movie now. You guys could take it, but you won't. I know you won't. The movie that I thought about taking, almost did, was Elf. Because it is... Oh, yeah. It's hilarious. It's one of my all-time favorite movies.

Sure. But I'm not sure... Like, it is clearly a comedy movie. There's no doubt. But it's not. It's a Christmas movie. You know what I mean? Yeah, I get it.

Mike, you got a pick. All right. I'm going to take another classic movie. Oh, you got this one figured out. Yep. Because it just... Please don't take mine. I don't think I'm going to take another classic movie. Oh, you got this one figured out. Yep. Because it just... Please don't take mine. I don't think I'm going to take yours.

I don't even know if you would like this movie. I don't take that as an insult. But I'm taking Monty Python and the Holy Grail. That was my pick. Was it? That was my pick. Wow. Oh, I love Monty Python.

That specific one. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm not a huge Monty Python fan. No, I think you just won the draft. I think you just won the draft. Oh, well, thank you. Monty Python and the Holy Grail is a powerhouse pick.

Really? It's one of the most quoted movies around my house even today. I know people love that, and I hear the quotes from it, and the quotes when they're said are funny. But I didn't watch it when I was younger, and I've tried to go back and watch it. You want to talk about not holding up. No, that's just how they are.

You're saying it was always bad? No, no, no. and watch it i'm talking about not holding up no it's that's just how they are you just it's you're saying it was always bad no no it's it's it's a far different time and it's like a whole different different section of comedy i mean it's a different country the first time i saw it it was awful i thought it was the stupidest bride it was the stupidest movie i had ever seen and maybe that should be my pick. And for some reason, I sat down and we watched it again, and it clicked. It was like, oh, I actually get what's happening in this movie, and it's really, really funny. So you're saying I need to watch it again.

How many times have you seen it? Once. I'm taking it. I barely remember. I'm taking the Princess Bride. That's a great pick. Which I would not have, it didn't even enter my mind until you chose Monty Python as like, oh my gosh. Is it even classified as a comedy?

Oh, it has to be. Brooks, can you give me the nod or no? No, no, it's a comedy. I'm not saying you can't take it. Oh no, it's a comedy. I'm just saying it's a little, it's like a, it's a rom-com, right? Yeah. It's one of the best movies of all time.

It's great. I love it. Didn't you just see it i've uh no i've seen it i've a few years ago yeah but like you didn't i wasn't part of the cult grow up right but it was still it held up and it was funny i was strongly considering space balls baseballs i was strongly considering office space office space was so funny old school was home alone mrs doubtfire those came into mind first super troopers was very funny. Old School was very funny. Home Alone, Mrs. Doubtfire, those came into mind too. The first Super Troopers was very funny.

I can't take it because of how bad the second one was. The only movies on my list, when I said I had three, Spaceballs was the third. Yeah. It's so good. Dark Helmet. Yes. Mike, your final team? So I have Anchorman, Happy Gilmore, Airplane, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Jason. I have Ace Ventura, The Hangover, Wedding Crashers, and 40-Year-Old Virgin. Now, let's be clear. Which Ace Ventura? Ace Ventura won, but Ace Ventura 2 was just- I actually think number two is funnier. You know what's funny is, so here's- Bumblebee tuna.

There is no bigger Ace Ventura fan on planet Earth than me. I saw it so many times in the theater that I could say the whole thing. When the second movie was coming out, I was ready to explode and implode at the same time. I was a black hole of excitement. And I was expecting something better. You're right. And I was just disappointed. And I didn't like Ace Ventura 2 when it came out.

And then as I watched it more. Same thing happened to me. And I was just disappointed, and I didn't like Ace Ventura 2 when it came out. Wow. And then as I watched it more, when I watched it more, I'm like, this might be funnier than the original. It is unbelievably perfect and funny. It was just so different than the first that I was disappointed in. The exact same thing happened to me. The movie I've seen in the movie theater more than anything else was Austin Powers, the first one.

And I had the exact same thing. The second one came out, incredibly disappointed, but then learned to love it. All right. My team, Dumb and Dumber, Tommy Boy, Billy Madison, and the Princess Bride. It's like having a second child. Rounding out the best comedies. Man, I like your team, Mike. Thank you.

I like your team, Andy. Oh, thank you. I like my team as well. Thank you. Did you guys team, Andy. Oh, thank you. I like my team as well. Thank you. Did you guys learn anything on the podcast today?
