Hey, Spitwads. We're back with another Spit Hit. We're talking about some filthy, dirty
elbows on today's show. We're going to draft our absolute favorite emojis, which, let's
be honest, that's probably one of the most important drafts we've ever done and will
ever do in the future. And we are taking your questions to give you personal advice like
no one else can do. Check it out.
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.
I'm enjoying Mike's reaction.
Because I don't know if it translates to the listener at home or if you just could tell on YouTube.
All you did, you added a recline.
Right.
I tried to do like a little bit of an effect.
Like a sound effect, you know?
Away from the mic, close to the mic.
Away from the mic, close to the mic.
How did it come through on the other end?
Pretty great.
I don't think it sold.
That's my guess.
Mike, this is episode 128.
You try new things.
Hi, Jay.
Right before the show, you're like, man, I don't have anything for the scat.
And then you realize.
That made it even funnier. You haven't had anything for the scat in a long time, but here we are.
Are we still saying that?
I'll add some dynamics.
Yeah.
But not vocal dynamics.
Physical distance from the microphone dynamics.
Yeah, and I'm not going to burden Al Borland putting it in post.
I'm going to do this effect myself.
Thank you.
Welcome into the Spitballers, Andy, Mike, and Jason.
Would you rather? That's a great question.
And a spectacular draft on today's
episode of the show.
Badingi!
I won't know until people
respond to it. You know how you get the
like your stereo
at home, you can change the effects in ones
like amphitheater effect.
You can scroll through and it's like sports or action.
That was the cathedral.
I was trying to go cathedral.
Cathedral start.
That's usually what he does when he goes into a cathedral.
He breaks out and starts scatting.
See?
Cathedral.
I'm there.

Well, I mean, your life's set up for success at that point.
Anything else going on?
You guys doing well today?
We're all in black.
I don't know how that's ominous.
I mean, we're in.
It's a slimming.
Yeah.
I mean, it's slimming.
And I mean, I woke up over the weekend.
Sometimes I wake up.
No, no, no.
No, I eat a lot over the weekend.
Yeah.
I like I've always.
Oh, Monday is black shirt day.
Yeah.
But like universally to me, Sunday has always been cheat day on the diet.
Boom day.
Yeah, a boom day, if you will.
As I've gotten older, that's expanded to Saturday.
As have you.
Friday creeps in there as well.
Friday after work.
Yes.
I mean, that's part of the week.
You wouldn't have a bad breakfast.
That would be irresponsible.
Yeah, it starts with the pizza movie night on Fridays, and then I spiral outwardly, as my pants know from there,
and then I get a little bit bloated because not everything comes out in time for Monday.
I'm not lying when I say this.
I've seen multiple people ask if jason
owns oh yeah shirts other than black and let me tell you right now i do not i just did like all
of my laundry literally last night i did all of my laundry so the lights and darks is not a problem
it is not a problem i mean maybe i got some khaki shorts and that let me tell you
this if I'm looking for my khaki shorts in a pile of laundry I could find them super easy they're
the only thing that is not black in there it doesn't I've got polos I've got you know uh
baller shirts I've got you know I've got a variety of different solid black shirts
all right let's get into the Would You Rathers.
Would You Rather.
Before you do that, Andy, we have some text in our show doc here
that is bolded, it is surrounded by asterisks,
and it is in red.
It is highlighted with red. Oh, I thought it wassterisks. Yes. And it is in red. It is highlighted with red.
Oh, I thought it was red to ignore.
Red to ignore.
Yes.
Is red to ignore?
Yeah, like stop signs.
No.
I'm just trolling.
I just left it out.
Well, then now you confuse me because maybe you were right.
But it's too late.
I've already brought it up.
No, the big announcement here is that next week you have to stay tuned
because we have a new segment debuting and we don't know what it is.
Yes, the hosts of the show have no idea what's happening next week.
No, no.
The inmates are running the asylum over here,
and Al Borland and Judge Tiamati have something figured out.
I don't want you guys to be prepared for this one.
We don't prepare for anything. I was going to say, I've got
bad news for you, buddy.
Or great
news. Let's put it this way. I clicked
the would you rather. I don't know what's coming. Here's our
first question. Did you hear the opening scat?
Well, that was
definitely not prepared.
Tom from Twitter
says,
would you rather spend a year in a submarine that never surfaces or a year on a plane that never lands?
I don't see how this is close.
Oh, that is so interesting, though.
No.
What if?
I mean, Mike, you're right.
There's one very big difference.
They're both tubes.
Yeah. Keep going. What's the big big difference. They're both tubes. Yeah.
Keep going.
What's the big difference?
One of them's flying.
Yeah.
One of them's high.
One of them's low.
Right.
But when you look out of said window.
Right.
What are you seeing?
Clouds or fish?
The sun.
You are seeing actual daylight.
Oh, and that's important.
To human beings beings generally speaking
it has been yes but this is coming hold on you guys so you both default went to submarine
no no no i'm sorry airplane yeah so you're like you like flying mike no okay no how about it for
a year yeah but i look as much as I know I don't like flying,
I've never been in the depths of the ocean.
The only thing holding out the water from crushing me to death
is a thin bit of steel.
I've never experienced being in a submarine.
I've been in the Disneyland one, but we were not very deep.
If you had the windows closed,
the submarine windows, as they say.
Then close and open,
just depending on when you want them open.
It's called a porthole.
Yeah, if you...
I mean, you could just pretend
you're anywhere in a submarine.
What difference is it going to make to you?
It's like saying,
would you rather be...
I don't think you can.
Would you rather be in a room for a year or would you rather be flying like you don't like flying at any moment like you got the
fear of a crash flying for the whole year yeah but the fear of death is equal if either of your uh
abodes is you know compromised yo dad is there a lot of submarine crashes happening these days?
Submarine is not a very popular transportation method.
Elon, Elon, can we get some electric submarines?
Take a submarine trip to Europe.
That'd be cool.
That would be maybe pretty cool.
I don't even like the one in Disneyland.
It freaks me out.
And I'm like six feet under the water.
The point is the view.
That is the real differentiator here.
And in reality, when you're down in the ocean, you're not seeing fish out your window.
You're not seeing anything.
You're so far away from light that you're just seeing dark.
Well, the submarine could cruise in the nicer depths.
I mean, let's even say there's some good lighting on the sub that kind of lights up.
Have they upgraded those things?
We've had big advances in technology in lights.
Do the people in the Navy, do they got hue lights in those things yet?
Of course they do.
I don't know, man.
Do we still make submarines?
I don't even know.
What's the point well the point is secrecy so we don't know if we're still making submarines
because all those old submarine movies which they don't make submarine movies anymore so the hunt
for red october yeah that's uh that's sean connery right and then you had um uh what was the one where Harrison Ford was supposed to be Russian? Oh, yeah.
And he is not.
He was so bad in that.
Because he's Indiana Jones, and he's not Russian.
I just feel like you don't have to go through thunderstorms underwater.
That's true.
You have to go through those in the sky.
That, okay.
That's a fair point, except you fly over them.
If you're lucky.
So, oh, K-19, the Widowmaker.
Yeah, that was the one.
Oh, man.
Not Harrison's finest moment.
But my point is, what I know about submarines is from submarine movies.
Yeah.
And the lighting, it's always terrible.
And it's always red lights.
It's like they're doing photography development down there.
Is there a better Wi-Fi?
That was the joke.
That was the joke that got the producers.
Got us both, man.
Is the Wi-Fi worse for submarines?
Do submarines have Wi-Fi?
I know it's tough on a plane.
Yeah, but it's got to be better on a plane.
I can get satellite up there.
What are you getting in the ocean?
Do they have internet down there?
Have they figured that out? Yeah. that's actually a legitimately great question i don't
i mean fiber optic can they like conduct it through the water i don't i'm pretty sure
submarines communicate with the outside world this is all morse code yeah but you have i mean
that's over like radio waves right cb there They've got to have a CB down there.
All the people in Atlantis, don't they have Wi-Fi?
Well, they've got way better than Wi-Fi in Atlantis.
All right, let me change this question because Andy needs to catch up here.
Okay, here's a new would you rather.
All right.
Would you rather stay in your home for a year sure and it's always nighttime outside or it's always daytime outside
or not even it's daytime in the daytime uh you're okay so because you go through a normal i know
what you're saying you go through a normal day night cycle on a plane the depression you guys
that's the most important thing to use, the normal day-night cycle.
I think it's the big differentiator, and I think I would be depressed if I never had natural lighting.
Don't you have a little bit more room in a submarine in the sense that you're going in and out of different rooms?
If you're in a plane, it's one big tube.
You don't have a change of scenery from like, hey, here's the mechanical room, and here's the other mechanical room.
I would imagine a submarine is bigger than a plane.
Yeah.
Is it?
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, yes.
I can't imagine that our submarines, you know, carrying nuclear weapons.
Oh, nuclear weapons don't have to be that large.
I mean, the vessel needs to be very large.
It's a war machine.
A ballistic missile submarine is 175 meters, so it's 572 feet long.
What's like a Boeing 747?
Yeah, give me a good 747.
That's a big one.
Boeing 747's length is only 250 feet.
Oh, what a little baby plane.
So it's longer.
You pick up a little over two times the length.
But it's all about width.
Yeah, I mean, 75, the beam height, is that what it is?
75 foot versus 19?
Yeah, it's the beam height.
Yeah, I mean, this is, look, you're in a tube either way.
I'm going submarine.
I think it's mysterious.
Would you rather be on the submarine or in the submarine or on the space station?
Space station.
Space station.
That thing's really small.
All right.
That's true.
But you're zero G and you're in outer space, which is way cooler.
Do we make submarines by just cutting the wings off of planes?
Is that what we do?
Yeah, and then seal it up.
And then seal it up. That's a submarine, right? Yeah, and then seal it up. And then seal it up?
That's a submarine, right?
Yeah, they're pressurized.
I'm sure it would work way down deep.
So you guys are both flying through the sky?
Yes.
Yes.
Okay.
Al, are you with them?
I will take the turbulence.
I'll take the sub.
Yeah.
Now, it's unlimited sandwiches down there, right?
It's because Al and I are both the more, you know, we're already depressed,
so it don't matter if we're underneath the water.
So,
all right.
Olive from Twitter,
would you rather reach in and take money from every tip jar you,
you see,
or have to donate $100 to every tip jar you see?
I mean,
I,
mine is,
I know my I'm broke now because I'm donating a hundred everywhere.
I couldn't handle the stress. I know, I'm broke now because I'm donating 100 everywhere. I couldn't handle the stress.
I mean, you would stop eating out,
and you would stop going to places that have tip charts.
100%.
Or I would only go when it's some big, we're celebrating,
we just got a promotion at work, I'm going to go and tip someone and it's on purpose
because I couldn't
possibly take money out of a
tip jar and
handle that. I would just melt
into the ground. Is there
any way to play that off? Can you
think of any way to play off taking money out
of a tip jar? Yeah, you'd have to lie.
Like, I'm going to break this for you. Yeah, but what's a good
lie? Is that what you're telling me? Oh, I i put two in i'm just taking one back oh so you pretend you donated yeah like
oh i i accidentally you know put a little bit no well now you're making money and getting away with
it what if you just say you have a really important phone call to make you just say uh on the pay phone
yeah you pretend that pay phone still exists it's for the payphone sir you took
a 20 yeah they're really expensive nowadays they take cash phones yeah i mean putting 100 in every
time that's no i mean that would be cost of doing business to go out to eat i mean you'd know that
that's what you're gonna have to do but doesn't that suffice the tip right i mean there's not a tip jar in places that also have
like a another tip option is there is there like a you could sign a receipt and then on your way
out there's also a tip jar maybe maybe the tip jar sitting there for the like pickup orders so i mean
if you're in that place maybe the pickup order's got a tip jar over there i don't know yeah there's
tip jars a lot i can tell you what i'm doing. I'm calling restaurants and saying, hey, do you guys have a tip jar before I go?
I mean.
What is the soup du jour?
Yes.
Okay.
Do you have a tip jar?
Man.
Oh, we don't, but I'll put one out.
Yeah.
No.
Oh, no.
All right.
So which one are you doing, Andy?
Because this is extreme generosity.
This is just can I sneak the money out of this jar consistently enough?
And the answer is no.
With cameras, I'll be viral.
The guy that steals from the tip jar all the time.
I'm going to donate.
I'm going to donate the $100.
I'm going to make somebody's life happier.
Yeah.
What about you, Mike?
the hundred bucks i'm gonna make somebody's life happier yeah what about you mike i mean i'm if if it really came down to it i would have to be the donate and then i'm never going anywhere
ever again all right abby from patreon would you rather be unable to cross
any street without holding someone's hand or have to cross every street barefoot.
Abby.
So you have to find somebody to hold their hand?
Or here's the thing.
Abby does not live in Arizona or someplace that has a temperature close to Arizona.
Because in the summer, this would not just be an uncomfortable thing to run
across the street barefoot.
I assume that you guys have-
I've done the dash.
You've taken to the street barefoot before.
And you're burning.
You're actually going to get second degree burns on your feet if you have to do this
in Arizona.
Yeah.
I remember. I'm sure you you have to do this in Arizona. Yeah, I mean, I remember.
I'm sure you two have done this before as well.
You guys have cooked an egg on the sidewalk in the peak summer in Arizona.
You could just, I mean, it's literally like a frying pan.
And that's the sidewalk.
That's not the blacktop.
Yeah.
Oh, my gosh.
The blacktop, the egg would just be scorched immediately.
I mean, imagine.
I'd rather run on the blacktop.
Really?
Than the concrete yeah
why why do tell i love pain well i mean i think they both they both stink but it's about surface
area when you're running on the concrete 100 of that surface area that's on fire hits your foot
when you're running on the blacktop there's a little bit of gap between some of the blacktop
because of the because of the jagged rocks. Because it's a little more rigid.
Interesting.
I think I'd rather run on the blacktop.
Those ridges are not smooth.
Well, here's the thing.
We had a mailbox at our house that was three houses down.
It was like a four-pack, right?
Mm-hmm.
And the trick about walking on something hot is you think you're okay at the beginning.
Right.
Because your feet aren't used to it.
So I would often be like, I want to get the mail.
And I'd start the journey.
Barefoot.
Barefoot.
And I really test things out here.
And by the time you're at the mailbox, you're pocketing it.
Because how do you get back?
And you're doing the thing where you're trying to walk.
Oh, half of your feet.
Just on the outside edges of your feet.
And then you switch to the inside.
Yes, 100%.
I got stuck on a roof because I was.
Why are you on a roof with no shoes on?
Well, no, not with no shoes on.
I'm sorry.
This is just.
I crossed two stories.
I got caught on a roof where the roof was so hot I couldn't get down
because I needed my hands to get up
on the roof. So then I'd need the hands
to get down off the roof and I couldn't
touch the tiles.
So I just sat on the roof for like 20 minutes.
Did you wait for the sun to go down?
I almost did, yes.
Eventually I settled for the second degree
burns.
Man, I hate directional
things where the second half is worse like if you've got
a stationary bike you're riding for 30 minutes and when you're done you're done right you go on
a real bike ride and you think or a hike or whatever real hike and you think i got this i'm
doing great 30 minutes in you're like i i feel absolutely fine but you gotta do it all again
and as soon as you start feeling bad you feeling bad, you're starting the whole process over
and you're vomiting at the end.
I am 100% against hikes that go to a point and then return on the same path.
I stand against them.
I protest them.
All hikes need to be circles.
Let me know.
A circle, or do we have a business opportunity here?
Okay.
Are we driving people back from the second half?
We shuttle people to their cars or from their cars to the beginning point of the hike.
I am with you, Jason.
I've gone hiking with my wife.
She goes on this hike where I know every foot I step forward is another foot I'm going to have to step back,
which makes me not want to take as many steps.
So do you go all
the way to the top of the mountain or you just go halfway i go halfway i'm like i'm gonna take
it's gonna take me forever to get back is there a is there a chopper up there they they they
shuttling people down i'd probably ask five times wait does this come out on like by the parking lot
oh no no we have to turn around and go the same way? It's the same walk.
Or what if, like, the mountain, they installed a really big slide?
Oh, that'd be awesome.
Now, that or a, what is the thing?
A zip line?
A zip line.
A zip line or a fireman's pole?
Wow, that's a long pole.
A fireman's pole, you're going into the mountain.
No, and that's a problem. I think at the end, you're going're you're going into the mountain though and that's a
problem i think at the end you're going to want to be on the outside of the mountain that one
doesn't all right i'll take the zip line mike you can take the slide yeah oh that leaves me
the fireman's pole dang it i'm stuck inside of a mountain now he just fireman pull right down a
chute and also mountains are hollow is this correct
all mountains okay good i always thought that but i wasn't sure now hills aren't hills are solid
your problem with the fireman's pole is not the drilling down inside the mountain like of now
we can't possibly tunnel out right from the fireman's pole area but getting down inside
the mountain that's not a problem you've put a torturous thought in my mind, the idea of firemen's poling down in infinite depth.
Just forever?
Just go for, I don't know, like 1,000 feet down.
And then what do you do?
Then you've got to climb up the pole.
You can't climb up that pole.
Oh, I'll find.
If I'm stuck down there, I'm sure it's not going to try.
But yeah, and you're going to fail.
You could not climb up a thousand foot fireman pole.
I'll bet you five dollars.
I will take that bet.
Is there a thousand foot fireman pole around?
Down into the earth.
I mean, a thousand feet's a little ways, but what other option do I have?
I got to get out of there, man.
Death?
I wonder the highest you could get.
Let's do it.
How high could we climb a fireman's pole?
How high do you think you could get, Mike?
Shoes on.
No, not shoes on.
I'm taking my shoes off at the bottom of that pole and climbing without them.
You think you'll do better without shoes?
Much better without shoes.
Okay.
I was thinking the traction of the sole.
No, no, no.
The rubber would help me.
You need the traction.
Skin to pole.
The skin on the pole, if you're clamping down yeah what if i'm starting to sweat well that's
gonna that's gonna be a real issue yeah okay so shoes on got it shoes on you ain't getting two
feet i mean you're gonna give that deal college try and the worst part the worst part about
climbing a fireman's pole is when you fail you just go down the pole in a really undignified way, right?
But at least you go, wee!
Yeah, do you say wee on the way down as you fail?
I see both producers shaking their heads like, how did this conversation get to here?
I don't know.
Did we have a question?
Would you go shoes on, shoes off, Al?
Shoes.
I used to rope climb, and I definitely wanted shoes on for that.
But the rope is different.
Yeah, shoes off probably for pole climbing.
For pole climbing.
Is that a popular thing?
Is that an Olympic sport?
What was the question again?
The question was, how high do you think you can get on this pole?
Because I want to circle back to that.
I don't think I could get to like eight feet.
The question is, can you rest without grabbing the pole?
Can you find a way to rest by interlocking some amount of arms and legs?
If you can rest, you can get higher.
It's not a true rest, but there is a rest for your upper body
because you can clamp on with the feet.
I've seen at least my kids do it my my
kids uh climb the you know on the trampoline you have the we now have safety nets on trampolines
didn't have that when i was a kid not in the 90s we didn't uh but there's the poles go up and my
my kids will climb those and they do that the way they get to the top is they take the soles of
their feet and uh sandwich it on the pole and then push up.
Shoes on, huh?
No.
No way.
No.
Dang it.
The shoes are not on.
So just visualize this.
You grab the pole.
You put your feet on the pole.
You push up.
And you push up.
You can get up like that.
Yes.
I don't believe I could do that for a second time.
I think once I'm locked on the pole and I'm off the ground, that's where I stay.
It's there and down.
Those are my only two locations.
How high could I get?
I don't know.
I always believe more of myself than I'm able to do.
That's true.
All right.
The other one was crossing the street by holding someone's hand.
Which we all take that.
I think I could ask some.
Yeah, we all take that.
I could ask somebody.
The problem is if you're trying to get across the street and there's
no one around then you're just you're stuck on your side of the street that's when you take your
shoes off yeah yeah all right i'm going for it all right let's uh let's move on That's a great question.
David from the website, if a toy company made an action figure of each of you,
what two accessories would come with?
Ooh.
Okay.
Because sometimes, you remember getting the action figures as a kid and they'd come with a couple
of cool accessories, some cooler than others.
You could take a
grappling hook.
See, I thought this was
more like Mike would have a guitar.
That's true. He'd have his axe. And a grappling hook.
And a grappling hook, of course, because
for all that grappling I do.
Jason would come
with a different black shirt.
He comes with a black shirt,
and he comes with a second black shirt outfit,
a whole different outfit that's the same.
But one has a collar.
Right.
So it's like, this is my fancy shirt.
This is my fancy shirt.
Or it's casual.
Maybe two shirts.
Maybe it comes with two other shirts.
You know, dress up black.
Oh, my gosh. Yeah, Mike definitely comes with a guitar shirts you know dress up black oh my gosh yeah
mike definitely comes with a guitar yeah but i have to think of a second accessory shoes man
probably comes with shoes yeah probably some really wild shoes that seems to me if you don't
know mike is what do you call it is that sneaker head sneaker head i was gonna call it a shoe head
that sounded dumb uh sneaker head he's a real shoehead he's a gum shoe
that sounds like an insult that mobsters threw around
he's a shoehead
that sounds like Charles Barkley to me
he's a shoehead
he's terrible
he's terrible
he's a shoehead over here
knucklehead
I don't know what comes with me
what comes with Andy's action figure?
Rocking chair?
A rocking chair would make sense.
We did buy you one for a birthday.
Thank you very much, by the way.
As a half gag gift and half we knew you'd love it.
Yeah, it was a home run.
Those are great gifts.
When it's funny, for the gift giver.
It was funny for Andy to get it, and he's like, sweet.
Rocking chair.
It really did work out, and I still sit in it quite often.
What else?
Ice cream could come.
Now, you've really backed down on your ice cream ways.
I'm into the cookies now, yeah.
Ice cream and cookies, those go well together.
Yeah.
It's quite the transition.
I guess grappling hook.
Yeah, for all the grappling you do. Yeah, I do a lot of grappling. You, Jay, you got to look into grappling. Oh. It's quite the transition. I guess grappling hook. Yeah. For all the grappling you do.
Yeah, I do a lot of grappling.
Jay, you got to look into grappling.
Oh, it's the best.
I mean, I did some jujitsu, but it's a different type.
Yeah.
The grappling hook will help you in the whole fire pole situation.
I'll bet if I did jujitsu style grappling with a grappling hook, I'd win more.

A suggestion from

beggars can't be choosers here.

Okay.
That's your band.
Yeah.
What style music do you play?
Death metal.
Death metal.
Okay.
All right.
All right. Justin from Twitter, what's the craziest butterfly effect that has happened to you because of a small decision that you made
see some of these great questions require great thought that's that's pretty heavy i mean
this podcast is this is a result of a butterfly effect. I say it wasn't a small decision,
but my butterfly effect to somehow getting here to talking about my new rock band,
the Manicotti Potties.
Yeah, I love that band, by the way.
Thank you.
Dirty elbows opening for them.
Of course they are.
Oh, we're the opener?
Manicotti Potti, no opening band.
Yeah, it's true.
We are headliners.
That's fair.
I made a decision to go to college in my late 20s to learn how to make video games, and
somehow that led me through the butterfly effect to here talking about my new headlining
band.
That's right.
That's crazy, because that led to you going to a workshop thing that I was at,
and then we found each other, and then we hired you at that company,
and then, whoa, that's a good one, Mike.
I'll always remember, Mike, before we started the podcast, after we worked together,
how you and your wife went and looked at houses very, very far away from where you live now.
That's a good one. Really far from where you live now. That's a good one.
Really far from where you worked.
And everything was lined up for you to get that house,
except for the stupid housing company wouldn't give in on the realtor fee.
The realtor thing?
Yeah.
So here's the thing.
This is a good lesson for those at home.
For realtors.
Yeah, real.
I don't understand. Home builders.
It's ridiculous.
So my wife and I were looking for houses,
so we found a development that we,
you know, like, oh, we like them.
Let's go in and look at the houses.
Well, apparently showing up,
just to look at the models,
that is me making some type of contract
with that company saying that
I no longer can be represented by my realtor.
But we had a piece of paper in the door that said you have to have your realtor.
Yeah, the best thing is I didn't sign anything.
I didn't sign anything.
I wouldn't go look at anything with them.
But they decided that because we were there without our realtor that the realtor is no longer uh can can get any
type of commission on a sale that is the biggest like and it led to us not even not buying anything
from them which if you had bought you couldn't have commuted from there all the way to our job
and we probably would not have started a podcast and yeah i mean i so i'll get to the butterfly effect but real quick
realtors if you're out there home builders if you're out there stop seriously seriously stop it
it's so stupid andy and i used to be realtors and we can recognize how stupid that is just stop it
that was a good three weeks of our lives uh my butterfly effect, I think, would be I wanted to go to the University of California, Los Angeles, UCLA.
They had a good computer program and a good theater program.
I wanted to go there.
And then I think for the Christmas before I was set to go off to college, My father gave us a Christmas gift of, he lived in California.
He was going to move back to Arizona where we were, which was like, oh, awesome.
That's great.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Your dad's Christmas gift was that he was going to move.
He was going to move close to home.
He was the gift.
And the nice thing is-
I got you something special yeah me
i feel like it wasn't my only gift he didn't not give other gifts like i'm gonna move how do i spin
this guess what i got you for christmas i mean in general that would have been a great thing
my moving costs but guess what i couldn't afford out-of-state tuition to go to to go to
college in california okay so because of that thing i had to go to the university of arizona
the worst christmas present anyone's ever got you know met my wife had the children i have
and none of that would have happened if i had gone to the ucla but you would have been a star
jason oh well i mean i still am. All right. Yeah.
Caleb from the website, what is the threshold for transitioning from I am learning to play the guitar to I am a guitar player?
Mike, I think you need to speak to this. I mean, I know my answer, but I want to hear your guys' answer to this.
Okay.
First of all, I'm really excited for this because I want to know what the answer is.
My son has been kind of trying to learn the guitar, but he doesn't really have a teacher it's an ipad and that's fine there's all
different ways to learn now i think you know how to play the guitar from learning when you can
riff on your own like Like, if you can
make a bunch of different chords
and just play something, anything.
Not even a real song.
Just, this makes sense
musically. These are chords.
That's when I say you can play the guitar.
That's my answer.
Okay. Yeah, and I'm sitting here
deciding whether or not I'm learning to play the guitar
right now or whether I've
been a guitar player for 20 years.
I've been learning for 20 years.
I mean, there are only two options here, right?
I'm either a guitar player or I'm still learning to play guitar.
It certainly doesn't come down to reading music or anything like that.
No.
Because you don't need to be able to do that as a guitar player.
I mean, Jason's answer is pretty good.
I don't think Mike's going to define it as being able to just like pick up
and play things you hear that'd be advanced
no that's an advanced player
so I would say and I doubt you would
quantify it in some like chord amount
or something like that
but that's what I would say like you know enough to where you
can write songs
I hope Mike's answer is
just time it's like four days that's
that's when what's your answer i'm really curious to me the answer is just can you play music with
somebody else oh interesting like could you go and you're like could you sit down with someone
else and be part of music all right follow-up-up question. You're a guitar player now. To Andy.
Andy, are you still learning to play the guitar,
or can you play the guitar?
I think I can play the guitar.
You can play the guitar?
I think I can play the guitar.
I mean, this could be like someone just singing.
Sounds like you two need to get together.
I don't think that that's exactly what- I don't play with amateurs.
I would like, if i got together with mike i'd make sure that i kind of had my cord like unplugged on the side like i'd be like are we all good we good jeremy we got the
sound turned up all right let's go i pull the cord out um okay that's a that's a good answer
though i i think that's right and it says says, you know, I am a guitar player.
You're playing guitar with somebody.
That makes sense.
Going from I am a guitar player.
It's interesting.
You just shift the words around slightly saying I'm a guitar player or I play the guitar.
Yeah.
I feel like one is a profession.
I'm defining myself.
I am a guitar player.
No, I play the guitar.
Right.
I'm not a car driver, but I drive a car.
Right.
Yeah.
It's not your profession.
Right.
Because I'm a car driver.
I mean, is that what NASCAR drivers, they would say?
I'm a car driver?
That's what Mario Andretti said.
I'm a car driver. That's what Mario Andretti said. I'm a car driver.
All right, let's draft.
The Spitballers Draft.
All right, we are drafting.
Oh, man.
I think this one's fun.
It's fantastic, and be prepared, fellas, to just reveal how old we are.
Really?
Really.
Yeah.
Oh, because we're not going to be matching.
The age range that listens to this show, it's very wide.
It's people older than us, people way younger than us, and the young crowd.
Yes.
Different language.
Yes.
Yes.
I get what you're saying.
Let's put it this way.
By the way, we are drafting the best emojis, okay?
But let's put it this way.
We use emojis.
They're emoji users.
Oh, yes.
Yes.
Well said.
Right?
Yes.
Okay.
I've got the first pick in the emoji draft.
And I started to think, there are a lot of things.
Is it the visual that you just like about it?
Is it frequency, right?
There's some that I use a lot more than others.
But I got the number one pick,
and there's just one that I think sits there as the number one.
There's a clear number one?
There's a clear number one pick.
Well, I'm going to be embarrassed now if Mike has a different clear number one
because he's the second pick.
To me, it's the poop emoji.
It's the poop emoji.
Yeah.
It's the poop.
Come on.
That was the number one pick.
It's got to be.
It was at the end of my list.
What?
It's the number one emoji, man.
It drops out of the end of your list.
All right.
We made two poop jokes in one second.
It's kind of what we do around here.
But the poop emoji is great because it's a playful poop. I mean, he's smiling. It's kind of what we do around here. But the poop emoji is great because it's
a playful poop. I mean, he's smiling.
It's a great reply. Anything
goes bad, you're telling somebody, hey,
that sucks, but I'm
still smiling with you. It's the poop emoji.
So it's the 101 to me.
And it's very, I mean, a lot of emojis
are face-based, hand-based.
There's not a lot of,
I mean, this is the only poop emoji there is.
There can be only one.
There's only one.
So I feel real proud right now.
Yeah, that's the clear number one.
Everything else is...
I guess that's true.
If you ask yourself,
is there a plushie of this?
Because our emojis that we're going to draft aren't,
but there are plushies of the poop emoji.
It's very famous. Super popular.
Alright, I will
go...
This is so fun.
I was...
In my heart of hearts, I thought maybe
the poop emoji might slip through.
Might slip through the cracks.
Drop down to you.
Well done. But it did not work out that way and
now you just and now everything's uh second yes and honestly what's the best second pick
i don't know number two it would have been perfect for you yes it would have been great
all right i'm gonna go my favorite emoji after the poop is it's simple it has many purposes it is just a it's
a fantastic response to many things don't take it don't take it you're gonna take what i want
i i am taking the eye that's what i wanted that was my number two it's just the big eyes is an incredible response to almost everything.
It's someone sends you a positive message, give them the big eyes.
Oh, hello.
It's like this terrible thing happened.
Big eyes.
Breaking news.
Oh, yeah.
Big eyes.
Oh, yeah.
The big eyes are fantastic.
Yeah.
What a great pick.
are fantastic yeah um what a great pick because so what i'm finding when i look at my list of emojis is you can go two directions here you can either go like visual and meaning or you can go
uh emotion connotated type of well that's that's what i'm saying on the visual side or you can go
practical and useful yep but the eyes can be both uh they serve a purpose and they're they're
emotional i i don't know if we want to answer right now but like when you guys get to prepare
for this i went and i looked at my most used uh emojis and there's like you can do that wait how
do you do that just is it just what shows up automatically yeah what shows up on your most
used and there's just like six. You only use six of them.
Yeah.
There's hundreds of them.
I use six of them.
Yeah, I mean, I know what I use the most for sure.
It's super boring, but I mean.
I would go with that as your first word.
Oh, man.
I really wanted.
Yeah.
I know which one you're saying.
The one you use the most, and it's just...
All right.
I'm going to take...
It's so boring.
What's your boring pick?
Oh, man.
Hold on.
I'm going to write it down just in case.
All right.
The most boring one is a thumbs up, which is, yes, what Mike wrote.
Is the thumbs...
I mean, you use it. It's a check mark. It's a positive. It's is, yes, what Mike wrote. I mean, you use it.
It's a checkmark.
It's a positive.
It's saying good job.
It's saying okay.
It's saying I got it.
It's just very practical, and I use it nonstop.
I use it in text messages.
I use it in our company Slack all the time.
So I've got the practical one out of the way here.
Sure.
Now I need more of the-
I give that one the thumbs down, but go on.
Yeah.
You could corner the market on thumbs.
I could.
I could take them both.
You could go thumbs up, thumbs down, buddy.
Oh, man.
Just wait till the next turn.
Finger up, finger down.
All right.
The point.
The point.
Yeah.
The pointer finger. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got you. Man. all right. The point. The point. Yeah. The pointer finger.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I got you.
Um, man.
All right.
Uh, okay.
All right.
I got it.
Okay.
I got it.
I'm going to go.
Oh, I don't got it.
I don't got it.
I'm back and forth.
Is there a tilt emoji you could play?
There is a little bit of a tilt.
Man, when you got the poop in the eyes, life is good.
Oh, man.
You guys, your pics are so good.
All right.
I'm going to take one that I know is always a hot emoji.
All right.
Because it's fire.
Great pick.
That's a great pick.
Taking the fire emoji, it can say a lot.
And whenever you use it, you always know it's a great situation.
Yeah.
Unless you are using it very literally.
Like, honey, there's a fire emoji in our house.
Right.
I probably should not be texting.
I should not be texting at that moment.
If you text that to 911, they'll send the fire department.
Don't do that. Don't do that. Don't do that. You should not be texting at that moment. If you text that to 911, they'll send the fire department. Don't do that.
Don't do that.
You thought I was serious?
I don't know, man.
You both were like, oh, nice to know.
I thought we were learning something.
I won't have to make an inconvenient call.
Well, I know how much the young people don't like to use phone calls.
Let me be very clear.
Do not text 911 a fire emoji.
Unless your house is on fire.
Of course.
If you need the fire.
Right.
And always second.
All right.
All right.
I saved it with the fire.
I should have gone fire and then thumbs up.
That was my third favorite.
Should have gone fire, thumbs up.
Right.
It's all right.
All right.
Fire was probably, it was number three or four for me.
The emoji that I use the most, this is the one I use the most.
Eyes I do use a lot.
I'm going to go with the raised hands.
Oh, yeah.
You use that a lot.
I love that emoji.
The two hands up.
It's like a thank you.
Yeah.
It can be a thank you, a celebration.
You got the hands up like, hallelujah.
The only thing that I ever see with that is field goal.
That's every time you post that, I just say, okay, field goal.
So all these stats where I'm celebrating stuff,
you think I'm sending you a field goal?
Yeah, you got a solid three points.
No, I knew it was.
That's like paper football field goal.
Yes.
The thumbs are not connected.
I'm not saying I misinterpreted.
I'm not saying I misinterpreted it to be a field goal,
but I'm saying whenever I see it, I just think of a field goal.
Hallelujah.
It's good.
All right.
You guys, it was tough because those are good picks,
and I had to endure four of them before coming back to my poop,
which I really, I mean, the poop stands alone.
Yeah, you're still, you're probably still out ahead.
I'm going to go with the flex, the flex emoji.
Okay.
Because that's like saying, you know, that's like saying good job,
but like it's like a pat on the butt.
To me, a good job to me.
Yeah.
But I mean, like if I send you the flex,
it's because you did something good a lot of the times. Right.
And I'm saying.
Way to go.
You flexing on it.
You flexing.
Flex on those fools.
Yeah.
Or you could say what you did and then throw a flex on the end of it.
Yes.
All right.
So I'm going to go.
I've got poop flex so far.
That's fine.
Let me just say.
It's a little bit more arrogant than the raised hands.
Yeah.
For sure.
If it's about yourself.
When do you use the raised hands about yourself? You can't. Right. Yeah. Because raised hands. My raised hands are for sure about yourself when do you use the raised hands about yourself you can't
right yeah because raised hands my raised hands are for you the only way you can do raised hands
is if you go hashtag blessed raised hands i guess you could do that um let me just say this because
i you know we we are cutting edge here at the fantasy footballers yeah the spitballers um we've you know been in the tech industry now for a long time and we use uh slack and emojis all the time look the future is animated
emojis yes all of these you know look you've got a flex andy the flex is so old busted i need that
flex flexing i need to see that bicep raising i need to see the poop dropping in i need to see
all of these all of these emojis are so much better when they're animated so stay tuned for
the future i will ask this because all three of us those last emojis the fire and then the raised
hands and the flex let's say al borland i'm going to just quiz you on this let's say you texted us each individually that you just got a raise at your job.
Okay?
This is hypothetical.
Mm-hmm.
And you got a-
Will never happen.
You got a raise, and then you get these three replies back.
What do they say to you?
You get the flex from me.
You get the raise hands from Mike.
You get the fire from Jason.
Which one do you like most?
Probably the raised hands.
Yeah. That's right okay because they all kind of say something a little bit different don't they yeah the flex says congrats on your hard work that's right
the fire says man that's hot yeah and the other one's just straight up congratulations i'll send
you the poop emoji if you ever get a raise i I'll tell you that right now. All right. I am going to – this one's tougher.
I'm going to finally work a – we haven't gotten into any of the face emojis, really.
And we're two rounds in, and I've got to wait four picks,
so I don't want the bottom of the litter with the face emojis.
There are a lot of them, and I don't know if this is the right or the wrong,
but I'm going rolling eyes.
I'm going to go the rolling eyes face emoji.
That's where the eyes are?
The eyes up?
Straight up.
Eyes straight up.
You just told me that your boss is making you work the weekend, and I'm throwing you the eyes up emoji.
I've never used it.
No?
I've never used it once.
Really?
What a bad pick.
I mean.
Yeah, this is great.
Great. Great. I've never used it. i feel like it's more like looking up like look at that comment above look it's the rolling eyes no i
know it's the rolling look at that comment above he's not lying because very frequently like my
first instinct when i see that is oh what's what's the comment above the face? Exactly. Come on.
What a bad face.
Every time I see your thumbs up, I'm like, oh, man, he smashed his thumb with a hammer.
He's a dork.
All right, Mike, you're up.
He's trying to clown on the thumbs up.
You can't clown the thumbs up.
It's too boring.
Yeah.
Whatever.
Rolling Eyes is a classic, and it says, hey, that's stupid.
What you just experienced.
Sure.
All right. classic and it says hey that's stupid what you just experienced all right now there are many faces that have um joy there are many different smiles oh yeah uh there are many different
laughing faces and the my research tells me that this is in in fact, the raffle face. So rolling on the floor laughing.
This is the face where it is tilted to the side, huge smile.
The tears are coming out because this face is laughing so incredibly hard.
So I am drafting the raffle face.
That's my favorite reaction to a joke.
100% my next pick.
And I was so excited. I assumed it was going to be andy's when
he started taking the face inexplicably he went rolling ice but um i've never used it i i just
can't believe he did that but um i it gave me hope that i would get the the rolling on the floor
laughing out loud because here's the truth.
On my quick emojis, my response emojis, you know, the ones that you say you use the most,
I have the normal just laughing face with the tears coming out, not sideways crooked.
And I hate that.
I use it because it's just quicker to use.
Right.
But it shows like, I think this is funny, but I don't have the time to go get the good
one.
The sideways crooked is the one you're talking about?
The sideways crooked is the best of all of the laughing faces.
Which one did you take?
That's the one I took.
That's the ruffles face.
All right.
I got you.
All right.
You got to know.
You got to be hip.
Well, let's run it through the real filter of whether it's a good pick or not.
Have you used it before, Jason?
All the time.
Oh, okay.
It's probably my second most used behind the aforementioned.
The thumbs up.
Thumbs up.
Yeah, I give that a thumbs up, Andy.
All right, so I have two now.
He's a vegetarian.
Yeah, I have two.
Yeah, you got two great picks coming up.
Yes, I do. All right. You go smiley face. I'm going to go, yes got two great picks coming up. Yes, I do.
All right.
You go smiley face.
I'm going to go, yes, I'm going to go boring smiley face.
I've got my two picks lined up.
You've got the good face.
You have the best of all the happy joy.
This was so funny, which is what we thrive on.
I can't grab a different
variation of laughter or or an inferior one right 100 so i'm gonna go the other way and for my face
i'm going with the explicit anger face the one where you've got the angry the yeah the angry
face with the little you know censored out censored out across the middle there's a squiggly exactly i've got the thumbs up i've got the celebration the fire the that was awesome but
you're very profane but but when i'm oh this is you got me good or or i'm so angry bleep bleep
bleep bleep bleep that's a i mean look i would go so far as to say that that emoji is fire, which is awesome, and it's another great emoji, which I also have.
So with my last one, I'm going the other direction.
I've gotten a little bit upset here.
Okay.
But sometimes we just want to give some love.
Right.
And so I'm taking the red heart.
He's going for picks here.
He's going for votes.
The red heart's for votes.
It's on my most used reactions.
Oh, I have no doubt.
It's very vanilla.
Go on.
Oh, yeah.
You're talking down the red heart.
Go look at your, whoever's listening right now, go look at your texts.
Go look at your messages and see the last time that you used red heart.
No, the red heart's great.
It's like buying somebody a birthday card, but you don't sign sign it you just let the message inside say the message you don't really
put a lot of effort into it you just take the default heart i don't have enough time but i
still care about you and this this was great and so yeah i love you good point that's right yeah
all right still and i still made i still made i don't want to be arguing with your picks but you
put me into a very defensive position no you, you did. You took the rolling eyes.
I didn't make you take that.
I mean, clearly.
The rolling eyes is a great emoji.
Mike, it's your turn.
All right.
Now, here is where I don't know if this translates to everyone.
I don't know if this is just the Twitter echo chamber that I am in
in texting with my friends as well.
It's a little bit overkill here to have the eyes and this one,
but I got to take it because I'm being true to myself.
I'm taking my favorite emojis.
I will take the skull.
Absolutely.
I will take the skull response because someone says something to me,
I am dead.
I just send you three quick skull emojis,
and you know exactly how I feel about what you just said to me.
I'll be honest.
When I drop a nice joke, which I'm prone to do,
and if I get one to three skulls from Mike,
I feel good about myself.
I feel like that joke just...
And most of the time,
they're at Al Borland's expense, right?
So it's like,
oh, you just killed Al.
Yes.
Is this the skull and crossbones
or just the skull?
I'm a skull man.
I don't need the crossbones.
I just like the skull.
Skull and crossbones is poison.
Yeah, it's...
Skull or pirates.
Skull gets the message across
without a little... You don't need accessories,
right? Right. You buy the skull, you get
the two crossbones with it, you throw
those out. Yeah, minimalist
at heart.
Okay. Well, now I'm self
conscious about all of my emoji pics.
Thanks to Jason.
So I've got to close this thing down. There are
several that
I'm going between.
What do I?
Because you go into a little bit of a trend, right?
Sometimes there are emojis you've used forever, like the okay hand, right?
Or the thumbs up.
Those are forever emojis.
Yep.
There's others that you kind of get into a habit, and you're like,
like this month I'm really into the rocker horns.
I'm going to use that a lot.
You know what I mean?
I'll throw up the horns.
Some trendy.
Or the one eyebrow.
Or maybe throw on some kisses somebody's way.
A little smooches.
I know what you should draft.
Not necessarily for this.
I don't think you're going to draft it, but I think you and I at least, we use it all the time.
I mean, we really do use it a lot every single day.
And I think it'll be the,
I think it'll be the waiver wire pickup of our group.
I,
uh,
I'm actually going to go with,
and I don't even know what the name of the face is,
but I'm going to go with the 100% straight lined,
neutral me face.
Okay.
So you've got the 100% neutral face.
It's not a smile.
It's not a frown.
You're drafting the superstar from the Emoji movie
because he is the meh face.
He's the meh face.
So I don't know if that's technically meh or neutral,
but you heard something,
and your reaction is so dull to what you heard
that you're throwing out.
Are you talking where the mouth is just straight across?
Straight across.
It is the unamused face. Unamused. Are you talking where the mouth is just a straight line? Straight across.
It is the unamused face.
Unamused.
Thank you, Jason.
And that can be pretty insulting.
You know, you get the unamused face back.
That's, you know, and you throw out a joke. This one says the unamused face has a little bit of a frown.
No, that's not it then.
This is the neutral.
Look up neutral emoji.
This is when the family member-
Yeah, we got to have the proper name.
Yeah.
I will say this.
Al Borland put it into our show doc perfectly and instantly.
Expressionless face?
Oh, wait, wait, wait.
No.
Neutral.
No, neutral face.
It's neutral face.
It is the neutral face, yeah.
It's completely-
Eyes open, just straight mouth.
Sometimes you need to react in a minimal fashion to something.
And Jason is correct.
The neutral face can cut deep.
The neutral face can cut deep.
It's also an appropriate reaction if you hear something like someone's complaining
and you drop the neutral face because you're in shock that that happened again.
Oh, he didn't call me back after he said he was going to i hate that guy right right all
right so that's what i'm gonna go there are a bunch of other ones yeah here's the one that i
think you and i one of us should have wait are we doing five rounds or four because i'm seeing him
say that five rounds al borland is asking does he want another round go five okay i'm going upside
down smiley face.
We've launched into another round.
I guess we're going five.
I'm going to go upside down smiley face.
Mike, when you take the rolling eyes, you need a little bit more ammunition
in your tank.
I like the upside down.
I do like the upside down face. All right, Mike, you are back on the clock. See here, I thought I upside down. I do like the upside down face.
All right, Mike, you are back on the clock.
See here, I thought I was wrapped.
I know.
I did too.
And now I'm tilting again.
Well, I only get one more pick.
Which of my favorites do I actually take here?
Oh, man.
I am torn between...
I've got to narrow down to two here.
One is...
One's pretty basic along the lines of a thumbs up.
One...
Nah, we got to keep it spicy here.
So I'm going to go with a face.
It's similar to the neutral face that this...
There's so many different meanings for this
face and and yet it can be it can cut deep yeah like there's i'm gonna take the thinking face
that's what i just wrote down that's what i just wrote down yeah the thinking face is good because
someone writes a comment then you just hit them with the thinking face. What do you mean? It's like vague booking.
Yes.
No, the thinking face is really good.
I'm surprised Jason likes that one because it's so nuanced.
Yeah, it's got depth.
Right.
No, I'm just saying I'm surprised you can appreciate that, Hartman.
Oh, yeah.
No, I can totally appreciate all good emojis.
Thumbs up. Great job.
Thumbs up on that, Mike. yeah um you get to close it down
don't screw it up it's your final pick it's kind of the yeah it's the end it's the caboose to your
train of greatness so i guess i feel kind of backed into taking what i said was going to be
the waiver wire pick because i talked about it we use it a lot it makes sense yeah no that's what i'm saying so i'm going to take that um and i'm taking that over the the other one i
would take is the winky face with the tongue out like the the silly face i like that but i'm going
to take the shrug the shrug is something that the shrug what's the shrug yeah like the person
shrugging oh what, the whelp face?
Yeah.
It's not a face.
Whelp face is not an actual official emoji. Oh, that's the one you said we use a lot.
We do use that a lot.
Now, is that not an emoji?
That's not a face.
Take a look at the dot.
It's not a face.
It's the shrugging man.
But is that an official emoji?
That's an official emoji.
Oh, shrug, yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's the shrug.
That's actually a great pick.
I thought you were going with the Welp face, the ASCII Welp face.
Oh, no, no, no.
That's great as well.
If there's anything that is my favorite, it is the ASCII Welp, man.
If we want three people listening to the show, we can do an ASCII draft.
But we got Al Borland's giving the waiver wire team, his favorite undrafted.
He's got,
he likes the fist.
You do use the fist a lot.
Yeah.
That's I was,
I was,
when I was torn between one,
that's more basic.
It was the fist.
You've got the,
although I go raise fist.
I don't go,
I don't go knuckle pound.
I go fist up.
And then you've got the party.
Sure.
You've got the prayer,
the hands together,
the hands together.
And then you've got the surprise. That. You've got the prayer, the hands together. And then you've got the surprise.
That was on my short list, the surprise eyes,
which I think is considered flushed.
I think that's the flushed emoji.
Flushed or embarrassed.
Clapping.
I love our animated clapping, the non-animated.
A wave.
Yeah, a wave.
A peace sign.
Yeah, no, definitely.
Peace sign is way up there for me.
I joked about it earlier.
As boring as it gets, but the point up, I do that all the time to just echo what someone
is saying.
I like that one.
Got to save time.
Yeah.
I use the rolling eyes to echo what people are saying.
Yeah.
Right.
That's what I looked up.
Look at this comment up above me.
All right.
That is it.
What did we learn today?
I know what I learned.
I learned that lasagna is, its ingredient is lasagna.
That's.
I learned that submarines are significantly larger than Boeing 747s.
Yes, and I learned that this Friday, the dirty elbows will be opening for the Manicotta Potties.
That's pretty good.
That's pretty good.
I wish Willie Facili was able to show up.
Yeah.
I feel like you could get a good scat out of the Manicotti Potty name.
Well, stay tuned next week.
Maybe that and a brand new segment.
That's right.
We'll see you then.
Goodbye.
