Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, Spitwads, on today's show we talk about, well, we talk about bad tattoos on today's Spit Hit episode, and then, you know, some common conversations about things like becoming a raindrop and starring in a terrible movie. Do not miss a minute. 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. Scoot-a-bop-boop-beep-bop-a-ding-a-lee-da-ow! oh oh stop the presses there's an additional oh welcome in thank you tremendous
Starting point is 00:00:58 welcome into the spitballers podcast. Excited to be back with you. Is that a bedingley do? It could have been. At this point, I don't know. I don't remember. It was long ago. Jason Moore, Mike Wright. I'm Andy Holloway.
Starting point is 00:01:14 Welcome into the Spitballers. We have a fabulous episode for you. Fresh off of an episode that featured a Jason skydiving cannonball that, uh, was unforgettable. As we come into the new year, we have, would you rather on today's show?
Starting point is 00:01:33 We have another chance, another chance at liar, liar today on the show. This is the one. Yep. I'm with Jason. This is it. This is,
Starting point is 00:01:43 this is the time. And, uh, This is the one. Yep. I'm with Jason. This is it. This is the time. And I will tell all of the spit wads out there on behalf of Al Borland, who I know he wants us to convey this. The new segment is still coming. That's right. I guess it's much more conducive to the studio environment. Because there's a lot of slime and props and things of that nature. Is that right, Al?
Starting point is 00:02:07 Something like that. Something like that. So we're holding it back, and we're giving you a liar liar today until we get back into the studio. We are holding it back. And I'll say the thing about the new segment is we have no idea what it is. So, Spitwads, honestly, we could all be getting duped just like you that there actually is no new segment.
Starting point is 00:02:26 Al Borland is just going to say, oh, it's coming, guys. It's coming up next week. It's really good. I have a big plan for it. And then, oh, look, something just went slightly wrong. We're going to have to postpone. We'll do it next week. Don't worry.
Starting point is 00:02:42 When we get into the studio, we'll find out it's more conducive for the remote recording environment right oh man we blew it now that i think about it i for one am thrilled that we're not doing the new segment yet um not only uh because i you know i i assume borland did a terrible job with it but of course more importantly because it it grants us this opportunity to have a liar liar and i am i go to i go to bed late at night having a hard time sleeping knowing that we are do you al do you know how many liar liar segments we've had 15 i i don't know i don't think it's been quite that many probably closer to 10 so Feels like 15. We have never once had someone win the game, ever. And that seems just statistically impossible because it's multiple choice.
Starting point is 00:03:32 And there's three of us. It's not just multiple choice. There's three of us. So it's game on today, Al. We also have a great draft for you at SpitballersPod on Twitter, Instagram.com slash SpitballersPod. Mike is laughing because jason is i was told what the draft was a slight time ago i assembled my list and like my list
Starting point is 00:03:53 my list is not robust i like to go into every draft with at least 12 just in case there's craziness and you guys all take my picks like we've had we've done drafts where we've we've formed a very hive mind and we're all thinking the same and we're taking each other's picks and this draft my honestly i i had a bit of a difficult time coming over the list meanwhile jason's over there i got five Hold on. I just added 10 more. Dude, it took me nine to 12 seconds to have 16 people on my list. And I'm just saying, watch out, Meryl Streep, because we're coming. We're coming for you later. I haven't told anybody what the draft is.
Starting point is 00:04:39 I figured we would keep it secret. Loyalists of the show know what it is now that Jason has invoked the name Meryl Streep. Meryl Streep could be involved. We are drafting. I'll just say, we're drafting overrated actors and actresses. Watch out. I thought you turned a corner with Pretty Little Liars. Is that the name of the show?
Starting point is 00:05:00 We will find out. We will find out. All right. Yeah, I'm not sure he'll bring her up first, at least. All right, let's get into some Would You Rather. Would you rather? Brian from Twitter says, Would you rather have your child or your wife draw your next or your first tattoo.
Starting point is 00:05:26 Your child or your wife gets to draw your next or your first tattoo. Gotcha. I'll let you two go first. This is the easiest answer I've ever had in the history. There's no way I'm letting my child draw my tattoo. It's my wife.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Then we have a difference of opinion. We sure do. She's a good artist. Well, then we have a difference of opinion. Oh, we sure do. She's actually, she's a good artist. So I feel like she could take care of a nice tattoo for me. Could she? Yeah. She's like, she's better than I am. And you're not a bad artist.
Starting point is 00:05:58 I've seen you draw some. She's like, she understands like basics of like sketching and stuff. And she teaches the kids that stuff. So I feel like maybe I would get a perfect cube tattoo or something. That would be the most Holloway tattoo. Just a perfect 100% symmetrical cube. Yes, that's me. Just so well done.
Starting point is 00:06:20 Just such an excellent cube. And people, when they see it, they they would say is that really on human skin or can or can i touch it it's so clearly a cube there you go there you go so you guys were both gonna go with the kids though oh my wife is an excellent artist she can draw and sketch things that blow my mind but she is a vindictive awful evil maniac who lives for my torture uh we do the the two of us we i didn't factor that in oh yeah that's a good point it would be the worst we we do a a birthday week i i i think i don't know if i've shared that on this show before or not but uh you know when it is the week leading up to my birthday the week leading up to her birthday that started when we were poor college
Starting point is 00:07:02 kids that you know we didn't have anything to give so we just became basically the you know each other's uh servant and um sure when it's my birthday week and i get whatever i want i'm getting there's so much video game time and anything you want to eat anything i want to eat anything when it's her birthday week time it's just what can I like her birthday week just happened right is is right in January right the very beginning it's freezing I barely survived but you know one of the first things she did is like hey go stand in the pool it's freezing you have to do torture stuff wait I gotta do whatever she says, and I do. Hold on. Okay, so the concept of birthday week, I can get on board with the concept because it's I'm going to handle things for a week.
Starting point is 00:07:53 I'll take care of the kids. I'll take care of all the meals. You have no responsibilities. Right, and you want to do the things that you find fun, I hate. Great, I'm on board with that. But sending someone into the swimming pool just because you can. Hey, honey. What is wrong with you? Get pneumonia for me, honey.
Starting point is 00:08:15 What is happening? So her original idea this year, and it changed because of the whole COVID planet, but her original idea, what she knew she was going to do for birthday week, was make me get a tattoo. That was genuinely what she was going to do. What? Yeah, 100%. And so, look.
Starting point is 00:08:35 That's why you've been working out. You're trying to sculpt up the guns real quick. I got to make sure that these tattoos look good. But I know my kids love me me and they are kind and caring. And while not as good an artist, I will get something that makes sense for me. I feel like, you know, I would end up with a beautiful, lovely poem to Princess Diane somewhere on my body because that would be nonsensical and practical and a great story she's she loves a good story are there that's the thing that's the good story that's why i'm going
Starting point is 00:09:11 with the from the kids i my wife she's she's a better artist than i am but but she's not like a photorealistic art i mean i'm getting a stick figure this is what's happening if my wife does it but i'm also going to get a stick figure if my kid does it and that's like I mean I guess I look at things a little bit differently because I'm heavily tattooed already but adding a tattoo
Starting point is 00:09:36 oh my kid drew that when they were three that creates this very sentimental that I always have that with me I have that part of their life with me. And before they turned into monsters. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:50 That was back when I liked them, my kids. Exactly. The nice thing about if both of them are not going to draw something good, one of them will seem like maybe like a bad tattoo artist. And the other one would just be a bad piece of art, but it's like, that's my kid. He or she drew that on me. So in that regard,
Starting point is 00:10:10 you're not having made a bad decision about a tattoo artist or something. And most importantly, look, your kid is always going to be your kid. Your wife? I don't know. Not if she's sending me into the pool in the middle of January. Here's a into the pool. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:10:25 TBD. Here's a little birthday week. We're divorced. All right. Let's go here. You guys are on a slippery slope over there, man. Yeah, man. We've met in a comedy improv troupe.
Starting point is 00:10:40 This is just who we are. Special, special couple. SpaceGoat from Patreon. Oh, thank you, SpaceGo space goat uh writes this would you rather question would you rather be a raindrop or a tsunami what do you mean b1 like you are that no i get it i get it i'm with it like you you're a raindrop okay i mean you're you're very inconsequential uh you there's billions and trillions of raindrop. Okay, I mean, you're very inconsequential. There's billions and trillions of raindrops every single day. You're just kind of part of it. Or you're a tsunami.
Starting point is 00:11:14 You stand out. You are remembered. Now, would you see the destruction? You aren't remembered for being the best thing like people do not like tsunamis would you see the destruction as then a negative if you were to be because i i look at that and i'm like why would i want to be a raindrop is that a feature of a tsunami is like the destruction like i get to go look what i can do wreck stuff i'm going through a bit like you're not a house anymore i get to do what i want it lasts longer a tsunami
Starting point is 00:11:46 lasts longer than a raindrop yeah and how long does a raindrop fall versus like you know a tsunami you're cruising the waves for a while i'm millions of raindrops right i am millions of no no no if i'm a tsunami oh i see like do you know do you want to be one of a kajillion uh identical raindrops or do you want to you know wreck some stuff because that's what I mean like you're about to be terrible and terrible and like are you apologizing the whole the whole way I'm so sorry I cannot stop I cannot stop I was going too fast. I didn't mean to get this big. I'm going to be honest with you guys. And I could be wrong here, but I don't think a tsunami cares at all.
Starting point is 00:12:32 I don't think they ever apologize afterwards. I don't care about the fact that it's an ocean wave and it's an inanimate object. Right. There's no sentient being controlling the tsunami. This is such an ethereal question. Now, there's no sentient being controlling the tsunami. Well, so, okay. Okay. Now, let's say this. You came to the right place.
Starting point is 00:12:50 We have personified a tsunami. We now have the control of the tsunami. Would you want to use your being a tsunami to stop yourself? Would you do that? Would you choose to say, I am the tsunami. I'm going to guide myself out to the ocean. Like lay down your arms? No landfall to me.
Starting point is 00:13:12 I'm just going to go out for an ocean swim. The answer is, of course you would, because why? If your choice is like, this is incredible destruction upon people who are not ready for it, or nobody gets hurt. Which one would you choose, guys? I'm not worried about the people. I'm water. I'm worried about, look, if I go over land, I'm dead too, right? Eventually, this is my own destruction.
Starting point is 00:13:39 No, because you recede back into the ocean, and you're good to go. Oh, I'm good either way? Yeah. Oh, bring me that landfall. I will take out a ship. I want to at least take out one ship. Just send it flying. I don't need to hit land, but I want to...
Starting point is 00:13:53 You're not going to send it flying. You're just going to push it. It depends on where the ship is. Maybe we could have a contest if we're all three choosing Tsunami of who can get air under the ship. You know what I mean? Can one of us launch the ship you know what i mean like just can one of us that poor ship gets this three times well we could choose three different ships that's fine let's let me refocus us for a moment what is the benefit of being a raindrop i think that's what
Starting point is 00:14:17 we're having a hard time wrapping our head around like sure maybe your acid rain you could leave a little welt or something but i mean i think it's the beauty why are we so destroyed we've played a lot of angry birds and what we've learned is it's fun to just not you just fall as a raindrop and just go and then you just disappear i feel like a raindrop is a beautiful peaceful symbol of life-giving water you have what do you want to land on if you're a raindrop i want to land on a leaf you want to land on? If you're a raindrop, what do you want to land on? I want to land on a leaf that's thirsty. I want to find a beautiful green leaf that's saying,
Starting point is 00:14:52 I need a drop of rain, and I'm coming for you. Wait, a green leaf? Oh, yeah, a green leaf. Jason, just give it to the people who already have stuff. Well, look, if it's already dead, it can't absorb. It's not doing nothing. I don't want a wilted leaf. I want to land right on top of a tsunami.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Not my fault. I just want to add a little extra to that tsunami. Look, this tsunami was like a 9.9. Then I plopped down and hit a 10-0. That's right. I guess I'm going to go Tsunami. It's a weird question, man, but that's what this show's about.
Starting point is 00:15:29 Yeah, I'm definitely going Tsunami. Sorry, land and people and structures. All right, Jin from Patreon. Would you rather have a supporting role in a terrible movie or a bit part in a blockbuster? Oh, man. Oh, man. movie or a bit part in a blockbuster oh man oh man jason is shaking his head what why could you possibly be shaking your head jason i don't know because the actor um i uh let's see. The question was a bit part in a big movie.
Starting point is 00:16:06 Yes, supporting role in a terrible movie or a bit part in a blockbuster. So you're known more for your part in a terrible movie than you are a bit part in a blockbuster. And what's a bit part? Would that be like in one of the crowd in Braveheart? It's a cameo. Back behind everybody? Yeah. Well, I feel like to have a cameo, you have to already be famous. in one of the crowd in Braveheart back behind everybody. Well, I feel like to have a cameo,
Starting point is 00:16:28 you have to already be famous. A bit part is more of just a small role. You might have a line. You're the bartender that says one thing to the character as they walk in the bar and then that's it. Here's your drink, Mr. Jones. And then you vanish. You're one of the you're one of the
Starting point is 00:16:45 henchmen holding the briefcase um you know as some uh you know bit partner in a in a major role i would personally yes you're darn right i am taking the bit role in the block but of course you are of course you are what oh would you hey, you want to be well known for being in a piece of crap movie? Or do you want to be able to just tell random people the story of how, hey, you remember that really famous movie? I was in it. That's 1,000% what I would be doing. It is so much better in every possible way. We laugh at the beginning because I've been in some, we'll say, awful, awful movies.
Starting point is 00:17:31 But there's no point to that. There's no point. Half the time there's not pay. So you're not even getting financial reward. The movie is awful. Nobody sees it. And you're wasting more time to do it but isn't it a better springboard to have a significant part in a movie than it is to have a bit part in a blockbuster no not if the movie's
Starting point is 00:17:51 bad no way nobody knows it they're not going to know that you were a big part they're not going to go research and watch the film and see how you did they're going to go oh i know that movie was in that he must be good. Okay. All right. I think I'm taking the supporting role. I just want. Really? Yeah. This is like saying, do you want to be like a backup quarterback on a good team or a starting
Starting point is 00:18:13 quarterback on a bad team? I want to be the starter. I want a chance to play, man. Yeah, but I don't think it is. I don't want to just show up for a bit part. I think you're seeing the question wrong because it's more like saying, would you rather be a star quarterback for a high school or would you rather be a backup quarterback in the NFL? People know who Chase Daniel is, no matter how bad he is. This is not a Texas high school.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Okay, so you're not in the NFL at the supporting role in the terrible movie. You're the star quarterback playing up in Delaware. You're the star quarterback playing up in Delaware. See, I was seeing the terrible movie as this is still a triple-A, like hitting the theater type of title. People just hate it. It's just a movie everybody didn't like. Okay, wait, wait, that question.
Starting point is 00:18:58 What does it say? How does it specify the movie? Would you rather have a supporting role in a terrible movie? Oh, okay. the movie. Would you rather have a supporting role in a terrible movie? Okay, I think maybe we put myself and my terrible movies into play here. Okay, so you're just talking about an underfunded...
Starting point is 00:19:15 I'm a big role in The Postman. Yeah, exactly. A movie that people didn't like, but you're still a big role. It still hit the theaters. Who saw The Postman? I know I didn't, but...'re still a big role it still hit it hit the theaters on the postman well i know i didn't but uh that's costner right yes that's cost i just remember it won a bunch of raspberry awards that year and i believe that is like the anti-oscars that's like the worst i got it i got it i got it for you would you rather be a supporting role in batman forever or you were a bit part in iron man uh i think i'll go batman you'll take that because i that the pop culture tie-in suckers
Starting point is 00:20:00 me in a little bit like i'm in a batman movie and i have a big role in a batman movie and i don't care everybody like ge George Clooney is really happy that he was in a Batman movie? Now, George Clooney, look, it was the springboard for his whole career, right? It was the weight that almost destroyed him. When he turned his resume in for his next film, he left that one off.
Starting point is 00:20:19 You're done, right? They go, weren't you in Batman forever? And he goes, no, that was someone else. I don't think so. No, I... That was my cousin, George. Now that you put it that way, I'm definitely taking the Batman. I want the larger role in a big enough movie, even if it's terrible. Yeah, you might have been projecting a little bit.
Starting point is 00:20:39 Dan, from the website, would you rather have to sprinkle a full tablespoon of salt or sugar over every meal? So a full tablespoon. Every meal you eat, either a full tablespoon of salt or a full tablespoon of sugar. And I am visualizing and thinking about and almost tasting both of those scenarios. And that's tough. Oh, man. I'm telling you guys, you have no... If you think this question is tough,
Starting point is 00:21:08 you do not know how much sugar is added in every single thing you already eat. And I'm not going to lie to you. We add sugar to a lot of the home cooking we do around here. You put sugar on your steak? I haven't, but man, that's a great idea. That actually sounds just fine. I would absolutely do that.
Starting point is 00:21:27 That sounds great. You never had candy bacon around a steak? That's a treat. No, but I mean, like, you know, I make a spaghetti sauce that's to die for. Because it's sugar? Yeah, I put a bunch of brown sugar in that thing, and it's great. There's actually no sauce. It's just brown sugar on it. It bunch of brown sugar in that thing, and it's great. There's actually no sauce. It's just brown sugar on it.
Starting point is 00:21:46 It's a brown sugar base. Have you ever had spaghetti with brown sugar? It's fantastic. No, but I'm putting sugar on everything. Because if it's sweet, it goes. If it's salty, I still think it goes. Well, that's the thing. I feel like putting a spoonful of salt on a piece of cake is going to ruin it.
Starting point is 00:22:04 But putting a spoonful of sugar onto something salty, I don't think it always ruins it. Is that right? It makes the medicine go down. That's how I see it. I mean, if I was. I think that's right. If I had a bowl of honey nut Cheerios and I sprinkled salt on it. Yeah, it ruined.
Starting point is 00:22:18 I don't think that's any good. But that steak example you gave, I legitimately think the next time I have steak, I've got to try putting a little bit of sugar. Think through it. Is there anything that you think that a full tablespoon of sugar could actually ruin it? Not soup. Not steak. Not popcorn. Not vegetables.
Starting point is 00:22:43 I think vegetables would taste well, would go well with sugar. It needs to be something savory that gets the savory ruined. Yeah, cheese would not be great. Like sweet pizza? Sweet cheese. I mean, people put pineapple on pizza. Sweet cheese, I've never heard of it, but I love it. Sweet cheese are made of these.
Starting point is 00:23:03 No, I'm going sugar. I'm putting sugar on everything. I've already got a sweet tooth, though. Which one would you die from sooner? Because a ton of salt is bad and a ton of sugar is bad. Sugar is way worse for you than salt. In quantity? In mass quantity?
Starting point is 00:23:16 Let me reframe a question. You have to eat a block of sugar or a block of salt every night. You're still going to die quicker with the sugar? Yeah, 100%. There are some benefits to salt water retention not that much i mean you you literally are putting electrolytes hydrate yeah i was gonna say you're putting electrolytes in your water electrolytes is a fancy word for salt yeah you know so yeah there's there's benefits but you get you get like blood pressure issues heart disease, stroke with salt. Yeah, but you get all of that with sugar.
Starting point is 00:23:50 You get extra fat with sugar. You get diabetes with sugar. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you know that they... I know overseas they stopped classifying Subway bread as bread because it had too much sugar to qualify as being a bread. And that, as an american who has eaten plenty of bread and it's just normal bread i think y'all bread overseas must be terrible because somebody's bread's great i mean it's cake but it's great now also people put like when cereals
Starting point is 00:24:20 were just starting to catch hold in the early 1900s every kitchen table had a full sugar dispenser and you just sprinkle tons of sugar over your cereal and then we just started baking it in the early 1900s i mean when i was a kid which was a little after that we were i was you did that too oh 100 you put it on the reason I thought of the Cheerios examples, because I would always put sugar over my Cheerios. And the best bite was always, always when you got that spoon scrape on the bottom and all the sugar that had fallen was like, oh, it's right there, baby. How in the world do we make these food products where they're like, it's so good. It's delicious. You're going to love it.
Starting point is 00:25:07 Oh, by the way, you should dump a crap ton of sugar on this because my product really, really sucks. How did those people become successful in business? Because as we've now laid out, sugar makes almost everything better. It makes everything better. If you get a churro put a little more sugar on it it's better it's like okay this was good but now i just improved it it doesn't matter what you get put more sugar on it it's upgraded now you technically al borland reminds me you if you don't have salt you'll die if you don't have sugar you're probably going to live
Starting point is 00:25:42 longer you're probably going to live a lot longer i mean because you don't have sugar, you're probably going to live longer. You're probably going to live a lot longer. I mean, because you don't need it. It's not necessary for your body in any way, shape, or form. You could have zero sugar all the time, and you would be fine. You would be healthier, probably. And if you strip everything out of water, and it's a liquid, but you've somehow removed all traces of salt and electrolytes, that stuff just goes through your body. You don't absorb anything.
Starting point is 00:26:06 Yeah. Okay. At least that's what the internet tells me. What I know is that those people who do the impossible, which is cut sugar out of their diet, just somehow they don't have any sugar, are so healthy. I mean, it's just sugar is not a good thing for us.
Starting point is 00:26:27 And it is such a shame how delicious it is. It's very delicious. All right, let's move on. Liar, liar. Pants on fire. All right. Liar,ar Returns. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:26:48 It's the final episode before we can say that Al is not undefeated. Oh, that's right. This is the final one. Oh, man. And here we are, three rounds. Two truths, one lie. And are you guys prepared? Are are you ready are you feeling sharp have you taken any supplements to improve your mental acuity i need a block of salt you guys been reading your britannicas i feel completely unprepared for this and that's how i want it to
Starting point is 00:27:22 be because i felt good going into past Liar Liars. So I feel bad. I feel like a complete fool right now. And I'm going to nail it. I'm going to go three for three here. Oh, you're going to miss the first one. Here we go. Round one. The melody of the national anthem of
Starting point is 00:27:40 Yemen is palindromic. It sounds the same whether you play it forward or reverse. We're off to a bad start. There's no way. There's no way. My Yemen knowledge has decreased since my whole life. Frank Sinatra's publicist would audition and pay girls $5 to scream at his early performances
Starting point is 00:28:03 to get the crowd excited. I buy it. That's a good businessman right there. He does seem smart. Get the crowd hyped? Heck yeah. Third fact, Jim Carrey's The Mask, Ace Ventura, and Dumb and Dumber all came out in 1994. Jason Moore, you have to answer that question.
Starting point is 00:28:23 I feel like Phone-A-Friend would call Jason on this one. And I would say that's the truth. You go ahead and answer that. There's two truths. They were all 94? That's a truth. There's no way that, oh, it says the melody of the National Anthem. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:40 Okay, I was thinking that this was like the song, the whole song, the whole song goes like this. It goes, dun, dun, dun. Yeah. And then that also would not,
Starting point is 00:28:51 and then it works in the other way. Um, oh man, you just wrote that. If that's true, that's impossible to do by accident. Okay. So I've answered the Jim Carrey mask Ace Ventura.
Starting point is 00:29:01 I believe it's true. I think they all came out in 1994. There was some issues with dumb and dumber being, uh, made. I believe it's true. I think they all came out in 1994. There was some issues with Dumb and Dumber being made. It kind of got delayed. So I would go to you for... Is it realistic that... You would be a fool. I don't know anything about palindromic music.
Starting point is 00:29:17 Well, I'm just saying you make music. No, no, no, but it's a palindromic anthem, Mike. This is really your wheelhouse. Okay, my gut reaction is that yes this would absolutely be possible but you you would have to be a theory master or you would have to have modern day technology and i can't imagine they're writing their national anthem in the year 2020 they're like we should get national anthem this is the time to do it. Okay. It's possible.
Starting point is 00:29:47 I got my lie. I got my lie. I'm going to lock it in. It's Frank Sinatra. Frank Sinatra's publicist would audition and pay girls. Well, blue eyes, he didn't need this. He didn't need this. By the time you have a publicist, those girls aren't screaming. I mean, you're, you know, i can't imagine he had a publicist at
Starting point is 00:30:05 his early performances and also what's five dollars with inflation you know you realize is it wasn't the the tail the tail allegedly isn't frank sinatra like tied in with the mob oh yeah i mean allegedly allegedly he was definitely connected, allegedly, with the mob. I think that person can have a publicist on their very first gig. Sure. So that's your locked-in lie. That's my locked-in lie. I think that's...
Starting point is 00:30:35 It doesn't seem like a lie. It just seems like, oh, yeah, that's a good business decision. It's just tough because I don't... I mean, the Jim Carrey one, that's a lot to come out in one year. It's question number one. Do we have to team up here? I don't I mean the Jim Carey one that's a lot to come out in one year it's question number one do we have to team up here I don't know but I will say this there is part of me that just as Andy said you know walking
Starting point is 00:30:54 through that Ace Ventura one I was like if you both don't take it and then I was so sure that it was true and the whole the whole game's over I'll do it I'll lock in the Jim Carrey one I'll lock in the
Starting point is 00:31:08 anthem I think that one's the wrong one that's right tag team in this all right well way to rip the bandaid off Jason you got that one wrong so Andy got that one right oh
Starting point is 00:31:24 the melody of the national Anthem of Yemen. That was a complete lie. Hold on. Can we pause the recording? I'm going to throw that in my audio interface and see if I can reverse it. Can we pause the recording and go back and start over? Because I would love this knowledge to be. So I'm the last one standing already.
Starting point is 00:31:42 You're already it. Dag-nag-it. All right. Well, you know what you are too good at this Al for future reference I think this is like the second time we've purposely split our vote and I think it could backfire here
Starting point is 00:31:54 because now two two horses are out of the race yeah and I think I was the last horse that had a chance also hold on the the mask Ace Ventura and Dumb and Dumber came out in one calendar year. Jim Carrey owned the world. Yes, sir.
Starting point is 00:32:11 How did that possibly happen? I mean, I know he had some notoriety. He was on Living Color, and people knew who he was on in living color and like he was you know people know who he was but how do movie companies go all in on one actor when they don't even know if he will be successful in the box office that this is blowing my mind yeah i mean his when you talk about talent, you know it's going to work. Round two. Human saliva contains a natural painkiller called opiorphan that's six times more powerful than morphine. I'm smelling something, guys, and it stinks. It doesn't seem right.
Starting point is 00:33:02 Does it smell like some pants on fire? Opiorphan? Come on. Come on. Fact number two. When a department director at Amazon was late to an important meeting because of car trouble, Jeff Bezos bought her two luxury vehicles and said, don't be late anymore. Now, Bezos is the one that famously, once he was still a billionaire, was driving an
Starting point is 00:33:27 old beater and did not care about a luxury vehicle, if my memory serves. Yeah, your memory sucks. But it is correct. No, I don't know. I don't know about that one. The third one is the word feisty comes from a Middle English word that implied small farting lapdog. What? That's fantastic.
Starting point is 00:33:53 It's terrible because if that one's the lie, then the other two are true. That means the saliva one's true. I mean, the Bezos one seems so reasonable compared to the other two. It seems like it could be true, but... I mean, the Bezos one seems so reasonable compared to the other two. It seems like it could be true, but I don't know, Bezos, but the stories aren't the most glowing. I believe that the feisty one has to be true. Small farting lap dog, I could see that.
Starting point is 00:34:27 I mean, people had dogs back then, and they probably fart they probably farted and it was getting a little feisty yeah it at least makes a little sense the human saliva natural painkiller six times we're not spitting all over each other i mean oh no he went down spit all over him wouldn't wouldn't like we not need morphine if our saliva already is numbing us from not if it's just a very small it could be a small amount that they haven't concentrated to create something of opiorphine well maybe i mispronounced it pretty terribly i don't know it sounds like someone's like man what do you call opioids and morphine if yeah it does yeah it does opiorph it? Yeah, it does. Opiorphan.
Starting point is 00:35:08 All right, I'm going to lock that one in as my lie. I'm not going to waver here. I'm going to lock in the saliva one as a lie. I'm locking in the Bezos one. Oh, then we're going three different directions. Can you buy two luxury vehicles for everybody? That one makes too much sense. I tried to fall victim to that trap with Frank Sinatra. I'm going feisty coming from a Middle English word that implied small farting lapdog is a lie.
Starting point is 00:35:27 All right. Well, it is up to you guys if you want to keep going or not. Oh, no. Because nobody can win. Mike got that one right. I'm sorry. You're darn right I did. The Jeff Bezos fact was made up.
Starting point is 00:35:39 So there is something called, are we pronouncing that correct, Al Borland, or do you not know? I believe it is yes and it's uh it's an endogenous chemical compound with a pain killing effect greater than morphine well you know what what here we are again round three now it's just about beating one another right now it's just can you imagine right now going into the third question being jason moore on the brink of a shutout for liar liar when he declared never universe that he was gonna sweep all three never gonna have to get one correct i have never gone oh for three has anybody ever gone oh for three i think you could be the first jay i will not this one i will nail let's mike
Starting point is 00:36:22 and i competing for first place here. Well, Al won first. We're competing for second. Round three. Fact number one. The iconic Schwarzenegger line, I'll be back from Terminator was actually improvised. The script called for him to stare intimidatingly at the officer, but Arnold said it felt awkward
Starting point is 00:36:40 and so he filled the space. Okay. The king of the one liners. Number two, the anus is the first part of the human body that forms in the womb. What? Okay. Get rid of that waste.
Starting point is 00:36:56 All right. Look, there's already, if there's stuff coming in, there's waste coming out. Okay. Third fact, Einstein's brain was stolen after his death and was not found for 23 years
Starting point is 00:37:08 wait a minute wouldn't after 23 years you not be able to find a brain how long does it take for a brain to decompose well if you put it in it's not like loosely grabbed if it was in ice or something it's not give me that brain running around like it's a soccer ball. That's fair. No, that's fair. I just thought, oh, I put it on the shelf. It disappeared. Yeah, that's what's left. I think the Schwarzenegger line makes too much sense to me. I think the Einstein line makes sense.
Starting point is 00:37:37 I'm going to say the anus one is made up. All right. So my competition is already locked in. I didn't want to tip my hand but i'm i've got that spider sense tingling that i've heard that einstein fact before yeah i i i don't know that that's true but it that seems too insane for owl to make up just just insane it's so you're gonna do what are you gonna do specific i'm gonna i'm gonna go, Jason? I'm going to go with... Mr. Ofer? I'm going to go with... You could go for three here.
Starting point is 00:38:11 This is not how we thought it would play out. Can I phone a friend? Al Borland. Oh, goodness. All right, I'm going to go with the Schwarzenegger line. I'll be back. It's too benign. I'll fall for the same trap I did with Frank.
Starting point is 00:38:28 All right, man. It's up to you, Mike. So the anus is the first part of the body. I mean, I love a good, I love a good butthole joke,
Starting point is 00:38:41 but it just seems like it makes so much sense. That's got to be the lie. Hear me out. Because Owl is so incredibly... I know how much time he puts into these, which is clear because he always wins. But because it's in the third question, he's worried, okay, if someone's two in a row, you think that he wouldn't make it up specifically with that body part. But that's the trick.
Starting point is 00:39:08 We are diving deep here to crack the code. Mike, you got to lock in. I know. I know. Look, I'm taking through it. The problem is if I go with that one, then Andy and I tie. Do I believe that? If you don't, and I'm right you lose
Starting point is 00:39:26 fine I lock in the anus line I'm just giving you the facts that is the best lie well if I'm right and you guys are wrong now then we all tie for first place that's true alright Al it's a tie fellas
Starting point is 00:39:41 oh in your faces the Schwarzenegger line was made up. Never, ever going to happen to go 0-3. The line wasn't made up, but the fact was, huh? Correct. Right. The line was not. All right.
Starting point is 00:39:54 We've all seen it. And to shed some light on the Einstein brain thing, the pathologist that was doing the autopsy actually stole his brain, chopped it up into hundreds of pieces, and preserved it for his own self-study. Wow. There you go. Alright. It's a Robin Hood situation. Owl wins this one. I'm just happy to tie for first place with one correct
Starting point is 00:40:13 answer. I feel humbled and beat up by Owlboy. Alright, let's draft. The Spitballers Draft. Well, that means we all start out as little anuses, right? That is what it means. Dude, told you, man. There's stuff going in.
Starting point is 00:40:32 It's got to get out. That's the rule. But wouldn't we have to start as a stomach? Yeah, as you say, nothing's going in if you start as an anus. I guess that's a fair point. All right. We are drafting, as I said at the top of the show, what we believe are the most overrated actors and actresses.
Starting point is 00:40:53 Now, I will tell you, I have the first pick, and this is a tough topic because there are tiers of actors and actresses, and there is something to be said about being in a lot of feature films or being quote-unquote a list and then being overrated versus being b-list and overrated whereas the a-lister might still be a little bit better than the b-lister but like the proportion of overratedness is too high so and there are people who are overrated as in they are their the skill of their acting is overrated and yet we still like them and we still like their movies true yeah and
Starting point is 00:41:34 there have been people put in really really good scripts and movies that aren't the best actors and actresses that have benefited from that that's true true. Jason is so excited for that. He is. I mean, look, I'm ready to body these people. Look, they're fine. They're successful. Everyone on this list is having a fine profession as an actor or actress, and they're going to have their critics, and I'm one of them,
Starting point is 00:42:01 so let's get after it. All right. My first pick, and there were many names that came to mind that i thought about but i genuinely think at this point the most overrated actor that i'm gonna go with is johnny depp oh that was my number one was he yes he was my number one suck oh johnny depp is awesome johnny depp is the prototypical same character different costume same makeup erroneous acting i'm not saying i don't enjoy jack sparrow in the first movie or edward scissorhands i think it started out good but
Starting point is 00:42:42 now he's just mailing it in he He's just doing the same thing. Oh, Willy Wonka is the same character as everybody else. Yes, he does the same thing because all he does is make pirates movies. So he has to be the same character. That's not his fault. He was the worst Willy Wonka imaginable. I was going to say, Willy Wonka does not have to be like, you know, a psychopathic pirate. Yes.
Starting point is 00:43:08 No, I totally agree. And that's not to say I haven't enjoyed a Johnny Depp movie before. I enjoy Pirates of the Caribbean. But I think he's so overrated because people, especially when that movie came out, they were like, look at his choices. Oh, my gosh. He's so bold. And it's like, no, he just he does that every movie he's ever been in and even if it doesn't require it in the script yeah and i would say that people
Starting point is 00:43:33 have started to catch on and probably aren't giving him the credit anymore that he used to have because he's played the same character in the last 18 movies, but I think he belongs at the top of the list. Cause he's, I think he's wore out as welcome to. So, all right, that's fine. I'm sorry,
Starting point is 00:43:51 Mike. I know it's okay. That's I'm sure we'll have lots of people like that. That we'll disagree with. All right. I'm going to take somebody. And like I said, just cause they're overrated.
Starting point is 00:44:01 Doesn't mean I do not like this person. Uh, I just think that this guy somehow just makes he's in every movie imaginable he had critical because he hit critical acclaim back in 1987 when he was in raising arizona people like oh this psychopath it works out and you're like no that's just that's him that's him. That's all he can do. And I'm talking about my man. I'm talking about Nicolas Cage,
Starting point is 00:44:29 the most overrated actor in the history of movies. But I think he knows. I think he's in on it. He's in on the grift. He knows he's overrated and he just shows up and he cashes those checks and makes those movies. He is the quintessential most loved, horribly overrated actor of all time. I mean, I can watch a Nick Cage movie one right after the other,
Starting point is 00:44:55 right after the other, right after the other. Sign me up. I love Nick Cage in a movie, but the dude can't act. See, the thing is, the thing about Nick Cage, I actually removed Nick Cage from my list only because I didn't believe anybody thought can't act. See, the thing is, the thing about Nick Cage, I actually removed Nick Cage from my list only because I didn't believe anybody thought he could act. Being in movies does not mean people have rated you as a good actor. So I get it, though.
Starting point is 00:45:15 I mean, he certainly had a run there for quite a while. Gone in 60 seconds. Are you talking about the 1995 Academy Award winner for best actor in Leaving Las Vegas, Nick Cage? Is that the one who won it over Mel Gibson in Braveheart, Nick Cage? Which is ridiculous. Hold on. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:45:36 Is that true? Yes, it's true. That's a fact, Jack. No, no, no. Actually, it's not true because he couldn't win it over someone who wasn't even nominated. Okay, that's what I meant. Was he actually nominated? Was Mel Gibson nominated for Braver?
Starting point is 00:45:47 No, he won it for the Golden Globes. He won the best actor for Golden Globes, yeah. But he wasn't even nominated. Ridiculous. Yeah, I know. All right. I'm up? You're up.
Starting point is 00:45:56 I love that. The floor is yours. I love that pick, Mike, because you said this at the beginning of the show, which is like just because someone's overrated does not mean we don't like them and and and nick cage is poster boy because i just love him but oh man what a bad actor all right um so i've got i've got my pick of yeah uh yeah big little lies I've watched a couple more things that she's been in and okay all right sometimes sometimes she's just dynamic and unbelievable and I will say this I love it get out of my musicals Meryl Streep don't no longer go on my musicals and stay stay further away from comedy but goodness gracious you give a good dramatic role to Meryl Streep
Starting point is 00:46:51 she's got your heart in her hand um so no I I apologize for my previous takes on on Mrs. Streep I'm going to go with a very similar level of actor. I mean, you're talking about Meryl Streep. And I remember growing up, it was like the best of the best is Meryl Streep. And on the male side is Robert De Niro. Robert De Niro is not a good actor at all. He's speaking my language. Yeah, he's on my list too, dude.
Starting point is 00:47:26 He sucks. He's just a mumbly, gargley mess. And if you're in a- Right place, right time. 100%. Got a couple good roles that were easy to do. I mean, Goodfellas, he was good in Goodfellas, right? Because it's a specific narrow-
Starting point is 00:47:42 I don't know, never seen it. Oh, you haven't seen Goodfellas? Wow. And then he had this decade run of coming out in nothing but comedies. fellas right because it's a specific narrow seen it and oh you haven't seen good fellas wow and then he had this like decade run of coming out in nothing but comedies oh no stay away meet the parents comedies are not easy comedies are not you there are people who can do comedies who can't act people who can act who can't do comedies and then there's robert de niro who i think is overrated and shouldn't be in either uh yeah i think we're gonna you're gonna get some hate on that one because i think there are the there are the mob uh purists with heat and casino and goodfellas and look part of
Starting point is 00:48:19 being overrated means that people love them that's true i mean that's true taxi driver i'm saying robert de niro is overrated not because he is as bad an actor as nick cage like he can act circles around nick cage but because people think he is just this un like a demigod generational talent of acting he's not um okay now on the other side i just said now i take comedy serious right i grew up doing comedy we've got this comedy podcast it's important to me so i'm going to take here a comedic i don't even want to say actor because it's ridiculous it's not he's too bad to be called an actor and this isn't one i like this is what i hate i can't stand it and i don't know why they keep casting him in darn near everything. But John Cena is the worst.
Starting point is 00:49:10 Now, you might say, wait a minute. Nobody thinks he's a good actor. He's still overrated with however low your opinion is of him. That's too high. John Cena is bodied by me right here. Stop having him host award shows. Stop having to make funny movies where he's got no comedic timing. Don't go SNL.
Starting point is 00:49:30 He's a great wrestler. And I know that others have made that transition. But stop it with John Cena. Oh man. Stick to bodybuilding. Alright. That's my two. Alright Mike. You're back up well i'm glad i
Starting point is 00:49:47 have not chosen someone that i'm afraid to come up against in the street yes i would i would very much tell john cena what a phenomenal actor he is and shake his very large hand uh probably bow Probably bow if we were face to face. All right. I have I'm between two names here and I have no idea with Andy's list if either of these guys would actually be on the list. I don't know how to play this. That's interesting. So I will take I'm just going to go with my heart here and i'm gonna take an actor who honestly i i think is the this is bad johnny if you thought johnny you didn't like johnny depp this is the guy who thinks that he's johnny depp and he's trying to become him okay i know where you're going and he's like he thinks he's daniel day lewis, Daniel Day-Lewis transforms into the role.
Starting point is 00:50:45 This person. I think I know who you're going. He's on my list. They think they transform into the role, except they do not. I'm taking Jared Leto. Yes! Because that dude is. Try hard.
Starting point is 00:50:56 Is not. Yes. He is a try hard. I get it, man. We all want to be certain things. You want to be respected as that incredible classical actor you want to be the rock star in everything he does just to me i'm like this is self-indulgent and i am not having any of this right now one of my biggest pet peeves in all of humanity and the world is art house movies these these these artsy indie movies that
Starting point is 00:51:30 are given so much love and credence because they're bad because like oh there was no ending that's the point like no just i love no ending but my point is that that's what Jared Leto is to acting. It's like, oh, he's so out there. He's just so, like, you don't understand. It's like, oh, I love that he's on your guys' list. That makes sense. All right. So you have Nick Cage, Jared Leto.
Starting point is 00:52:03 My first pick here, as I have two back-to-back, I have Johnny Depp already. I'm going to go with, I think, somebody that kind of fits the prototypical overrated actor department, and it's Ben Affleck. Always on my list! He's too monotone and just kind of been carried along by others. By Good Will Hunting. By Good Will Hunting, and then by... monotone and just kind of been carried along by others by goodwill hunting by goodwill hunting
Starting point is 00:52:27 and then by and the town the town's really good you know what the town is really good and i will really good look every once in a while you can get an accidental performance that fits yeah sometimes you're cast properly and uh yeah he cast himself there you go delivering monotone lines he wrote all the lines so there you go um so i think ben affleck is uh is pretty darn overrated he's a terrible batman um just to throw on the top of the list i don't think i just i gotta say this for for for my boy ben i don't think batman was his fault if you look at that stupid DC script he was given every single line was like it was intentionally pouty with no depth I now don't get me wrong which he excels at I mean yes he does I mean that is he does uh but like I think he had a run of
Starting point is 00:53:19 movies like did you guys ever see Jersey Girl that was. He was good in that. He was in Gigli. Are you a real big fan of Gigli? Gigli with Jennifer Lopez? Gigli or whatever? Yeah, no. That was the movie that ruined his career for a while. Yeah, that was the movie that... See, he's been carried along by Good Will Hunting,
Starting point is 00:53:38 and then he was carried along by being with Jennifer Lopez. Yeah, I mean, I get it. He is probably overrated, but he's another one of those where it's like I don't I don't I don't mind watch I like watching Ben Affleck sometimes you're not a great actor you've just got good charisma and all right that's enough that's enough you're gonna man I've got one name on this list that I might as well save till my last pick because there's just no chance that you both don't love this guy so i
Starting point is 00:54:05 guess i know how if you take him i'm writing it down oh i'll disrespectful a plague on your house and i had deniro on my list um so i won't go there man i'm having a hard time deciding where to go here because i know i'm going to save this other guy. You know what? I'm going to say it's perfect. It's a perfect combo with Ben Affleck. You're both going to hate it too. And I like a lot of his movies,
Starting point is 00:54:38 but I do not think he's a very good actor in and of himself. I think Matt Damon sucks too. You just got the Boston boys. I really do. Compared to Ben affleck he's great so he always teams up with ben affleck but independently like damn was it was it martian and like these movies that he's supposed to carry where he isn't jason bourne fighting and the action carries the movie like he's a good action actor but i don't think he's a good actor actor including going back to like goodwill hunting was just fine so i think i'm gonna put the boston
Starting point is 00:55:11 boys together i'm sorry i get it i get it he's yeah he's fine i get it my the hard part is for affleck was on my list matt damon is not on my list but out i know we're rating their acting ability but outside of being an actor those two are just so delightful yeah oh absolutely they don't take anything too serious matt damon is an incredible humanitarian but i i can get it that the acting is not what you just a little overrated that's all all. All right. All right. Mike. Okay. I've got my name. I think I'm going to make some people upset here.
Starting point is 00:55:53 I'm going to take an actress, and I just don't get it because this is A-list supreme tier superstar supreme tier superstar i know exactly where you're going is julia roberts i knew it i knew it i don't get it she is the same person in every single movie and i i the that character is not for me. I don't get it. I can see that. And actually, I think her situation was similar to the Jason Merrill Street one in a way, in the fact that a lot of... Am I missing something? Did I miss a movie where it was like...
Starting point is 00:56:40 Erin Brockovich, she was incredible. Erin Brockovich, she was great in. But a lot of her movies aren't movies that we necessarily watched a lot of. I can tell you right now, I never saw Pretty Woman. Pretty Woman is fantastic. So I imagine that... Is it Jason? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:57 Is it fantastic because of her? Yeah, it wouldn't have been the same without Julia Rice. Yeah, so I think that some of her movies that are in the, like, area where maybe I haven't seen them all. Maybe she just doesn't know the genre. Tinkerbell, Mike? In Hook? Oh, I forgot she was in Hook.
Starting point is 00:57:17 So that makes sense, though. Yeah, yeah. Big smile. Big, big smile. I'm giving the men the business I gotta give Julia Roberts the business okay yeah alright Jason you got your final two picks
Starting point is 00:57:32 I've got two picks here I think you'll find people that agree with you on that one Mike yeah I get it I get it man two last picks two last picks I've specifically saved my save one for last jason so don't come in here and surprise me all right i'm gonna i'm gonna start here um
Starting point is 00:57:53 i've got two guys on my list i'm gonna go uh with a girl who is Is so bad at acting. Okay. I don't blame her. It is not her fault. She was cast as a child, and you don't know how they're going to develop as an actress. But then she had a run of taking over major motion pictures, including a wonderful remake. I was excited to see when she got to play bell and beauty the beast but emma watson is oh yeah look look i loved harry potter i grew up like oh i was a big emma watson fan but now as she's developed into a woman and she's in these roles
Starting point is 00:58:39 it's like stop and just get her out she's just plain vanilla on the screen and the only thing she could do is move her eyebrows around a ton and no thank you sorry all right you were right mike he was gonna get serious about some of these oh man all right so i've got to go with another one. Yeah. Yeah. You were so excited. Who's next? Jason. And then he realizes, oh, being mean to people is not so fun. Oh, I mean, yeah, it's just a matter of I got to I got to I got to. Except for John Cena.
Starting point is 00:59:13 You had no problem. Pick my fight. That's true. Except in person. Poor Emma Watson. I mean, I can't. I said I don't blame her. It's not her fault.
Starting point is 00:59:25 All right. Let's see here. I don't blame her. It's not her fault. All right. Let's see here. I couldn't go that name. I would be murdered by Mike. Follow your heart. Follow my heart. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:59:35 You got me. You got me. I'm going to follow my heart. And maybe this is my own disappointment from-standing uh love of the series but i'm gonna pair the the same way that you paired the boston boys daniel radcliffe's not getting out of here untouched daniel radcliffe is not getting he's he's gone into theater and doing these roles in london where he's two harry potter actors yes because they become famous from getting this childhood role. A lot of these...
Starting point is 01:00:06 What other Daniel Radcliffe movies have you seen? I have seen Harry Potter. Well, I've seen seven or eight of those, so that's enough. Did you see the one where he was the dead guy? Oh, yeah. I know what you're talking about. I remember when I came out. I never saw it.
Starting point is 01:00:24 I saw the trailer um but so what have you seen when you're bad enough they're putting them on your list how many julia roberts movies have you seen more or fewer or more than eight probably more julia roberts is a lot of movies no way but i'm i'm putting them together those two tag team um you know and i think that there was a lot it's not fair when these childhood actors get cast like i i doubt anybody is taking like drew barrymore you know i thought you were actually i thought you were gonna go drew barrymore right like pick but yeah right because it's like you're cast and then you become famous and then you're cast
Starting point is 01:01:06 because you're famous not because you're a good actor it's recognizable yeah exactly all right mike you are all right i've got my last one here uh i don't know how much people actually love this man but i know that he is a he is a star right oh, Swiss Army Man was the name of that Daniel Radcliffe movie. I will not pull the punches here. I do not like this guy because his characters, to me, are simply being a pompous anus, and I will take Benedict Cumberbatch. He's on my list.
Starting point is 01:01:41 Dude, I was between him and Daniel Rad radcliffe i regret taking radcliffe what does he always play a pompous anus like he comes in with he comes in with his british accent i get it you sound smarter than i do so be smarter than me and don't just be a jerk about it he played so he is that role which as dr strange is is just like, okay, he's fine. He's fine as Doctor Strange. But you have that. You have Sherlock. I don't like you as Sherlock.
Starting point is 01:02:10 And then you come in and you make the Grinch. Yes. You remade the Grinch. The Grinch in the theater. Look, I take my kids to every movie possible because when you are a parent, a movie theater experience means i get two hours where i can just take a break i can veg out i don't fall asleep at movies at the grinch that was the first time in my third i don't know how old i was at the time 35 or 36 that was the first time in the history of my life that i ever went i'm going to sleep i am not gonna watch
Starting point is 01:02:45 this movie because it sucks i have i'm out i have and i went to sleep and it was great i've slept in at one movie in the theater and it was the grinch by benedict he is sleepers unite i mean yeah i i'm i'm right with you. And what's craziest about this is like he is funny. He was not funny. No, he's not funny. But he's like seen as this heartthrob. Like I can look at a guy. I've heard.
Starting point is 01:03:14 I can look at a guy and be like, that's a handsome man. He's not classically handsome. I get it. I get it. He's a unique guy. All right, Andy, this is your time. Don't you dare. Don't you dare do it. I get it. He's a unique guy. All right, Andy, this is your time. Don't you dare. Don't you dare do it.
Starting point is 01:03:29 Oh, he's going to do it. You don't know? I'm going to say a name that I'm going to preface it by saying this. When I think of a A-list superior actor, it's because I associate them with good films. Okay? Okay. Not every film.
Starting point is 01:03:51 All right? Not every film that's ever been released. Oh, man. Okay. So when your association comes down to every film that's ever been made, I don't think you're the best actor on earth. And therefore, my final pick is Samuel L. Jackson. No, you did not.
Starting point is 01:04:13 Samuel L. Jackson. I think he is overrated. I will give you a moment to retract your statement, sir. Not that he hasn't made good films. There are many films in which he is good but i he has been in everything i i i look i get it there was there were two fears i had started playing the same person in every movie no that is fine andy because i think he's good at playing that one person i've only seen him try to act once dude And it was to be Samuel L. Jackson.
Starting point is 01:04:46 A Time to Kill, he is fabulous. Oh, man. Star Wars, when he's trying to be one of these. He was so bad at Star Wars. That's one of the movies that pops out to me as well. That movie wasn't. I mean, so the movies where he's really, really had to stretch himself. I don't think he's been that good. Now, that being said, he's compelling,
Starting point is 01:05:05 but I just think he's overrated. By our definition. The name that you said you were going to pick that you thought Mike and I would hate. I'd love to know because I didn't get it, apparently. I thought you were going to say Will Ferrell because I know you don't love his movies the same as we do, but I would have revolted.
Starting point is 01:05:21 Then at the end when you said he's in everything and he's overrated, I thought you were going, my man Brad Pitt. You know what? There's been some bad Brad Pitt movies though. I will say that. No. What was the one where he played Achilles?
Starting point is 01:05:35 Oh, I love Troy. I watch that at least every year. Troy sucks. Troy was awesome. He sucks in that movie. It was not just, whoever was in charge of that movie, they did not rein anything in. They're like like what kind of accent should i use for this i don't know just make one up that is 100 right you don't need to sound like anybody else who grew up in the country of origin where you are from do you want me to change accents mid-speech yes that's fine
Starting point is 01:05:59 no problem don't care whatever it was such a fun movie i mean look it is not a masterpiece it's bad and i love it i will watch that i literally watch that movie almost every year just because it's on somewhere are you kidding me oh i love it that's great that's crazy nobody's nobody's ever actually said that you're the first yeah i love i love bp i will say there are here's some other names i'm going to bring up and get your quick reaction to uh will smith is no longer the box office draw he used to be yeah Yeah, he's got the charisma, but not a great actor. What are your takes?
Starting point is 01:06:30 Because some people believe this. What do you think of Leo? Do you think Leo's worthy of all of the... Because he could get the Jared Leto try-hard thing, too. Phenomenal. Leo is a national treasure and is one of the greatest actors of our generation
Starting point is 01:06:45 i completely agree with you mike about anything else he is okay all right he is as good as it gets um on my list i had um let's see i had sandra bullock overrated of course of course um aston kutcher but he's not really and shia labeouf i i feel like they're the same. Shia LaBeouf is a good one. Yeah. Dude. Here's the name. I get it. Shia LaBeouf is not in the news for being a good dude. We're just talking about his acting ability. I think he's fabulous. I think he's very, very good.
Starting point is 01:07:16 John Krasinski. I am always drawn to the screen. John Krasinski. That's tough, though. He's not been in enough. He's not acting. He's just being. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:07:21 That's tough, though. He's not been in enough. He's not acting. He's just being. But the name that belongs on this list, because he's overrated. He's not a good actor at all. He's very Nicolas Cage. But I would never, ever, ever, ever bring him up because he's so phenomenal.
Starting point is 01:07:41 It's Keanu Reeves. Oh, okay. Yeah, he definitely. Keanu Reeves is not a good actor he's not a good actor but I mean dude he's Keanu but he's a great he's so likable
Starting point is 01:07:50 that he supersedes all of it 100% he's got the charisma and the likability where I will watch infinity those two
Starting point is 01:07:57 Nick Cage and Keanu Reeves need to get together and make a cinematic masterpiece that I can watch on the monthly schedule. Kristen Stewart came.
Starting point is 01:08:06 Oh, she's on my list, too. She's terrible. Well, this has been a fun episode. You got any extras to throw in, Mike? I had Kevin Bacon on my list. What about John Travolta? I don't know if he overrated anymore. Travolta was on my list.
Starting point is 01:08:20 I know. That's the problem. But we had guys at the point where it was like. No one's casting him. Battlefield Earth. Battlefield Earth. Battlefield Earth. Right place, right time for Grease and what? Saturday Night Fever.
Starting point is 01:08:30 He was the right guy for those movies. What about Michael? You're not a big Michael fan. I haven't thought about that movie in 20 years. What was that other one? It starts with a P. Powder? No.
Starting point is 01:08:48 That's not Travolta. it came out at the same time ah yeah i'll i'll try to remember it while we close this thing down how about that what did we learn today what did we learn today other than El Phenomenon? That's the movie I was thinking of. Oh, yeah. Where he spins the glasses. Yeah, he's swordfish. Yeah, he's not in a lot anymore, is he? No. No. He took a forced break from acting.
Starting point is 01:09:16 Broken Arrow is him and- Oh, and Kevin Bacon, right? No. No, no. It's- Christian Slater. Christian Slater. There you go. Wait, so you're telling me Christian Slater. Christian Slater. There you go.
Starting point is 01:09:26 Wait, so you're telling me Christian Slater and Kevin Bacon are different people? That's what I learned today. I learned that Kevin Bacon and Christian Slater are different people. All right. I learned today that Jason really has grown and turned over a new leaf by not including his villainous Meryl Streep in this draft today. And I have learned that apparently there's really nothing you could put extra sugar on and it won't taste better.
Starting point is 01:09:56 Oh my goodness. That is perfect. All right. That'll do it for today's episode of the Spitballers podcast.
