Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, Spitwads, it's another spit hit for you today. Well, we find out why Mike won't waste his time being courteous to sneezers or answering a text message at 8.01 p.m. Man, I hate that Mike guy. Jason, on the other hand, is far more courteous after a fart than you would expect. Well, it's gonna be a great show, and Jason.
Starting point is 00:00:51 Never heard that before, have you? Oh, I really enjoyed it, though. Thought you were going to miss it? Thought you were coming in too late? Upgraded. Leave the people wanting, Jason. And then deliver. Yes.
Starting point is 00:01:07 Oh, you... You gotta deliver. You can you you you gotta deliver just leave them wanting i was about to take a bad piece of advice there i heard you wanted a pizza i always uh it's not coming what went to my head right away is the idea of like the new avengers movie and everybody gets in the theater and then it just never comes on. But when I worked for a movie theater, I once wondered. I've wondered this. If you could put on a permanent trailer reel, how long would people sit there? Oh, my goodness. What a great social experiment. Because you know how it is.
Starting point is 00:01:38 You get in there and there's 20, 25 minutes of trailers, and you get to the last trailer or two and you're like, am I ever going to see this movie? But if you just kept the trailers going, how long would it take? 45 minutes? At least. What you got to do, you got to put the total pump fake in there. You got to put, so you have
Starting point is 00:01:53 the movie trailers going and you finally get to then, oh you get like the movie theater? The stupid trailer for the movie theater where they're like, thanks for being here. You're already here. Silence your phone. You already got my money. It's fine, I'm here. You're already here. Silence your phone. You already got my money. It's fine. I'm here. And then you go right back into more movie trailers.
Starting point is 00:02:08 And then after the movie trailers, after that, you do a second pump fake where it's like, okay, now the Paramount stars are flying in. Like, okay, this is the real movie now. The lights dim down. Yes. The screen widens. How long could you go? Oh, and then you go to credits.
Starting point is 00:02:26 You go straight to credits. Anybody that's there after an hour and a half, you get credits. Wow. You get a lot of credit for sure. You've got my respect. You've got my respect for sure. That would be a very fun social experiment to convince somebody. Look, we've got a platform here.
Starting point is 00:02:43 We've got a lot of people listening. I think we've had nearly 2 million downloads. Thank you, spit wads. But someone out there, what would you do? People need to go in there, flex their muscle and get this done. Yeah. All right. Ruin, ruin three hours for several people. Welcome to the spitballers podcast, your weekly dose of absolute nonsense. We've got a great show for you today. We have a would you rather segment. We have a that's a great question segment. We have a good draft for you.
Starting point is 00:03:12 Very excited. Very excited to be here with you. And very excited. It's just it's going to be a good time. Thanks to everybody out there who is subscribing. It's an exhale of anticipation. That was more like relief. It's done.
Starting point is 00:03:29 No, it's like, let's do this. Let's go. All right. At SpitballersPod on Twitter, if you want to send in your ideas and your questions for the show, we appreciate everybody out there in the Spitwag community, all the great ideas, the draft ideas. Make sure you leave those comments on YouTube.
Starting point is 00:03:44 That's another place we go through. We read them. We implement them into the show. And you really are the brains behind the brawn. We're the brawn, obviously. Well, I am. Yes, Jason is. Jason is the brawniest.
Starting point is 00:03:57 Bad and shredded. On brand. YouTube.com slash spitballers if you want to head over there. And we do appreciate everybody subscribing on Apple Podcasts and reviewing on Apple Podcasts. It really helps the show out. Anything else going on, guys? Are you ready to get into it?
Starting point is 00:04:12 I'm excited. Help the people. I'm really excited to get in. Hold on. Would you rather? You know, I did work out right before this show. That's true. So I'm a little tired.
Starting point is 00:04:28 So maybe that exhale had to do with just... Strange flex going on over there. Just explaining away the sigh. Guys. It was my muscles sighing. It was all of my muscles. If I'm not as funny, it's because I totally blasted my glutes right before we got here. I'm so swole right now.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Get on YouTube. In case something seems awry, it's due to my workout. If my sleeves just happen to split and explode off my shirt, I work the biceps. All right, Ed. Ed went to the website, spitballerspod.com. Ed sent in a question. He said, would you rather randomly change in height or weight every hour? So every hour on the hour, you're either changing in height or you're changing in weight,
Starting point is 00:05:17 which is a really funny idea. I mean, this is a bad Cinderella situation. Right. Or a bad Hulk situation. All I'm thinking of now is splitting clothes like this is a whole problem your clothing situation is in either direction is a problem it's a problem for sure but only in one direction can you just be done right like let's say you're going taller or shorter whatever i'm maybe i'm maybe my regular shirt is now a belly button shirt. Right. And high waters. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:46 And high waters or even my short shorts are now Jenko shorts if I became way short. But if you get way bigger, right? They're exploding off your body or strangling you. Let's say you've got a size 34 waist. Now you've got a size 44 waist. Now what if- Those pants are no longer on you. That's 100% true.
Starting point is 00:06:06 How quickly does the transition happen? Is it snap? Is it Thanos? Boom. I'm humongous. Or... 10 seconds. Takes 10 seconds.
Starting point is 00:06:16 So you see what's going on. You know right away, I'm going up or I'm going down. You got time to unbutton. Now your clothes could absolutely change with you. I was going to say, to be fair, whenever you sit like Professor Klump and the Naughty Professor, his clothes just change. And you know what? The aforementioned the Hulk, his pants always manage to stay on.
Starting point is 00:06:32 Yeah, when Iron Man or when, who am I thinking of? The one that, Ant-Man. When he shrinks down, he's not in a giant suit. Well, to be fair, he also has a scientifically engineered suit. All right. The Hulk has a problem. If engineered suit. Thank you, Mike. The Hulk has a problem. If your clothes change with you, because that would disqualify. I would always choose the height one because I don't want to end up naked
Starting point is 00:06:52 with all my clothes exploding off of me, and then I'm just naked. Okay, so we've got magic clothes here, too. Is this what we're agreeing? Yes. All right. Now I've got to actually think about it. So my clothes and my body are either going to be i mean you're either gaining or losing weight or you are gaining or losing height this is this is tough because i'm shorter
Starting point is 00:07:11 than i want to be like in life i wish i was a little bit taller i wish i was a little bit taller wish it was a baller yeah um but i'm also heavier than i want to be so like both of these wow are the potential for good. I would have a couple hours in every day where I'm like, yes, yes, but which one is more important to me? Would I rather be taller at my weight?
Starting point is 00:07:35 And do you take advantage of when you get the height, getting everything off the top shelf that you need? I'm immediately playing basketball. This is an incredible vanity check for Jason right now. It is. I'm really excited to know the answer i want to answer this honestly i really want to dig deep i know i think i'm gonna write down over here what i think i'll choose yeah all right i know what i would choose because of just knowing him for 20 years i would choose height that's what i would expect you to pick.
Starting point is 00:08:08 Probably because you and Al Borland are the same height. No, I'm not. He's a short little man. I can barely even see him. Where is Borland? Oh, there's his head. I see him back there. Hi, Borland. Say hi to the spitwads.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Hey, spitwads. That sounds like a short guy talking. Yeah, it does. What does that mean? I don't know. No, what would I choose? I would, I think you're looking at it from an advantage standpoint. Right, and I realize I could easily get shorter in this scenario.
Starting point is 00:08:34 I would love it if, like, you choose height, right? You lock that in, and they're like, okay, it begins tomorrow, and the first change, you just get, like, three inches shorter. I just keep getting shorter every time. You get shorter. Shorter and shorter. You're like, where's my height? I can't reach the doorknob. I imagine it would be more
Starting point is 00:08:52 inconvenient to change and wait every hour. Would that give you carte blanche to eat, though? If you're changing weight all the time? Yes! You have carte blanche to eat what you want. That's true, because it does not matter. Oh, then I'm taking the weight. Oh, man, I've made a terrible mistake.
Starting point is 00:09:08 I have really screwed the pooch on this one. Mike and I are going to be eating. What are you going with, Mike? I'm going with weight. What are you talking about? Yeah, okay, done deal. Jason, you're going to- No more vegetables for this guy.
Starting point is 00:09:20 He'll be dunking over us while we eat our donuts. That's fine. All right, Dave from Twitter sent in a would you rather question. He said, would you rather be startled every time someone says hello or have a sneeze attack every time someone says goodbye? Now, hi's and hello's and all the greetings, right? Sure. Yes.
Starting point is 00:09:41 So, hey. And see you later. Goodbye. Bye. Okay. All right. Just needed to establish the ground rules here before we try to skirt them so i have a a terrible problem we know with a lot of them but but prescription antiperspirant is starting to work oh no that's not me and jason can speak more to the uh how my brother-in-law may have saved his
Starting point is 00:10:05 life with the sweating problem wait did you get a prescription i yeah so i did not get a prescription but he's over here laughing he's like oh your brother-in-law's so sweaty yeah i i was laughing at your brother-in-law this is a little uh down the rabbit hole moment here so we made fun of your brother-in-law because he's too sweaty, and he's got to have a prescription for how sweaty he is, and so we're laughing at him. And then after that show, I go, wait, I'm super sweaty. I sweat through everything. My entire wardrobe is blacks and dark blues.
Starting point is 00:10:40 I think I've got like a maroon shirt in there because it's just— All towel material too because you know you don't want giant sweat stains and it dawns this one's made out of bathrobe wait a minute maybe i've just got a bad deodorant maybe my antiperspirant is not good enough so i did literally send him a text no i didn't send him a text but i need to give a shout out a shout out to my sweat bro out there because i went and I Googled like, I don't know, like really strong antiperspirant and I literally today. Perspiration pals would have been much better.
Starting point is 00:11:14 It would have been. I apologize to the spit wads for letting you know. Get that domain. Yeah. Just today, I am wearing a brand new super high antiperspirant. His bits are on fire. They're burning. They're just burning.
Starting point is 00:11:26 I need this show to end immediately. It hurts a lot. Not sweating, but burned. So I'm going to have to let people know in future shows. How is it so far? So far, so good. Okay. Fantastic.
Starting point is 00:11:36 What were we talking about? Would you rather be startled every time someone says hello or have a sneeze attack? So I have... You said you had a problem. Yes. Whatever instincts are built into my DNA, someone says hello or have a sneeze attack so i have uh you said you had a problem yes my whatever instincts are built into my dna when it comes to being startled i got the bad lot you don't like it no where there's you know you'll see videos of stupid idiots thinking they're pulling a funny
Starting point is 00:12:01 prank where they jump out scare someone and they get punched right in the face. Because that person's natural instinct is, I'm fighting. Yeah. You know, normally people have fight or flight. Well, somewhere in it, my body has crossed those wires, so I just go, like, I look very much like the fainting goats when I get startled. And I whiplash and I literally hurt my neck almost every single time. Like you're stepping off a curb and you don't know it.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Exactly. And that's not going to help me do anything. I'm not getting away from the problem. I'm not fighting the problem. I'm incurring more pain to my body. So I cannot possibly take the startle. You're a super startle. You get super startled.
Starting point is 00:12:43 I do. We have to have somehow, and this is really, this can't be on us, and I apologize for what I'm about to say. This has to be between Borland and Andy Holloway here. We have to have a startle off because I will freak out. You saw on the spider reaction. Yeah, but you have an actual body movement. My movement is imperceptible to anyone else.
Starting point is 00:13:07 It just happens. It's a tense. You tense up. Yes, exactly. Yeah. Oh, see, mine is. It just happens on my mind. You pull a hamstring, apparently.
Starting point is 00:13:13 Mine is the most funny to everyone else, not to me. Yeah. It's very embarrassing. It was hilarious. It's excessive. I have a couple videos that, unfortunately, I'm in my boxers in these videos, so I cannot share them, but where my wife is standing outside of a bathroom or something waiting to scare me as I walk out.
Starting point is 00:13:31 And she has the video of it. And she has the video, and it's unbelievable. Because my scream, which is very... It's high-pitched. I'll try my best to do the legit startle scream. Every time that I get startled, it's something along it's it's i'll try i'll try my best to to do the legit startle scream every time that i get scarled it's something along the lines of and it's not an exaggeration and i feel so stupid and then i get angry because there's a video recording me at all times because my wife is a monster well that monster should use her text messages and send those my way oh they're on the
Starting point is 00:14:02 way um it's funny. The sneeze attack one, I went to my kid's spring concert last night. It's at this big church. Their school goes and uses the auditorium of this church, and it's filled with people, and you sit there and listen to 900 kids sing that you don't care about, and then your one
Starting point is 00:14:20 kid is singing, and you want to pay attention to that song, and then these other classes come in. And then you sit there for another two hours. but there was something amiss like i couldn't smell it but there was some their perfume or cologne or a flock of cats something had been let loose in this auditorium because from the moment i sat in my seat i couldn't stop my nose was running i couldn't breathe i felt like i was going to sneeze i had to suppress the sneeze for the duration of this thing my nose was filling up and i was feeling terrible a sneeze attack is awful a sneeze attack is terrible if i have to go into it because it reverberates for the next hour you're all stuffy and nasty and it's embarrassing.
Starting point is 00:15:06 And you're that guy that's spreading your phlegm everywhere. I would rather be startled. I don't have your issues, gentlemen, with being startled. You're lucky. Do I like it? No, because nobody likes it. And do I like horror movies or jump out movies? No, that's stupid.
Starting point is 00:15:22 Oh, Mike, that would be like you put in traction. You go to a horror movie, you'd be like. But I don't. Oh, you know it's coming. Yeah, I don't scare easy. But I startle easy if my body needs to get away from something, but clearly cannot. Do you guys ever, when you sneeze, do you ever have it hurt your throat? Like it feels like your throat got way too wide for a second and it hurts for a long time afterwards?
Starting point is 00:15:49 No. It's just a me problem. That's a you. It sounds like it's just a me problem. Well, someone out there, who's coming with me? Who's got the throat hurt problem? All right, final question on this. All right.
Starting point is 00:16:02 We said it's any greeting. Hey, hello, whatever. question on this all right we said it's any greeting hey hello whatever but it's only in the greet that you couldn't someone couldn't just stand around and say hey hello hi no no okay well then i'm taking the startle because i know this i hate being startled i hate it so much but usually immediately after i am crying from my own laughter at myself. I enjoy how stupid I look, and I'm having a great time, and I'm all smiles after that. I'm not all smiles after my throat-hurting sneezes. I would be, if I went to an area where I had to say hi to like 10 people, I would be bedridden for a week. All right, next question.
Starting point is 00:16:39 Alex from Twitter. Would you rather never cut your hair or never cut your fingernails? Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. So do you want to be a hippie or a witch? Or Al Borland. Okay. It's almost 2020.
Starting point is 00:17:00 Right. We're approaching it. Is hippie really still an insult? I don't think it's an insult. That was an insult. No, no, no. 60 years ago. Hippie means somebody that has really long hair.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Right. That's what it means now, basically. And a beard. And yeah, you know, like Mike. Mike might wear a headband. Right. But I'm saying. But it's not an insult.
Starting point is 00:17:22 Like, I didn't use it as an insult. No, it's a classifier. Right. It's like, you're goth, you're a hippie. Goth? Well, if you say somebody's goth... Oh, you were giving two separate examples. Yeah, two separate examples.
Starting point is 00:17:32 No, no, no. If you say somebody's goth in your head... I was like, I've never seen a goth hippie before. Like, I think if you're goth, you probably have spiky hair, and you have everything you know about goths in 60 seconds, Jason. Well, the goth... Oh, careful, Jason. The goth trend is all about the color black. You want black nails, black hair, dye your hair black, put on black eye shadow,
Starting point is 00:17:51 whatever you can. You are not allowed to smile if you are a goth. That is just a fact. If you smile, you're no longer a goth. That has disqualified you from service. You're out of the club. You can go ahead and paint your hair pink or whatever you need to do because you're not a goth anymore.
Starting point is 00:18:05 The only thing that really matters is that you have a lot of chains of things all over continuing to hold on to your wallet or your wrists. One of those two. And you want to make sure that you surround yourself with anybody not funny because otherwise you might be out of the club if you accidentally laugh. That's everything I know about pauses. That's pretty good. I think I would rather never cut my hair. It's got to be the hair. Because your fingernails would be cut.
Starting point is 00:18:34 You basically are saying, do you want to slowly become disabled and not be able to use your hands? Right. That's how I feel. Have you seen the pictures of the world's longest fingernails? They start curling up underneath each other. How do you do anything? I don't understand how those people live.
Starting point is 00:18:50 The point of pride. I've got a world record. It's called being the least helpful person in the world. It's called, hey, can you grab that? Yeah, can you open that jar for me? Can you feed me? Yeah. And then they get disgusting, too.
Starting point is 00:19:03 Oh, yeah. Give me the long hair. Oh, dude. Just a the long hair. Oh, dude. Just a quick question. Would this make my follicles work again? No. Oh, so I've got the balding guy. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:19:15 The balding long hair guy is the worst. George Costanza with the longest locks on the side. You have the ponytail, but no hair on the top of your head. I'm thinking you're looking. I'm thinking you're looking for the cat's pajamas. You would have. I mean, your hair would be... How long would it be? We're in our mid-30s. How long would your hair be if
Starting point is 00:19:35 it had grown out from the time you were born? How fast does hair grow? I'm looking right now. I don't know because I get it cut. I feel like 30 years it would have to be... To the ground? To my knees at least. So the average person can expect hair to grow about six inches per year. What? So it's the end of my.
Starting point is 00:19:53 That's 210 inches. That's tangled. That's 17 and a half feet of hair. I mean, you're Rapunzel. Yeah. Climb up my locks. What do you do with that? Do you wrap it around like a belt?
Starting point is 00:20:02 I don't think it grows in perpetuity. I don't. Oh, you mean like once it gets to a certain length, it knows not to grow six inches? I feel like it does. Because 17 and a half feet of hair, that doesn't seem likely. Nobody in the world has that. People would have that if you could. Because people get haircuts.
Starting point is 00:20:17 But no, people grow nails that they can't use anymore to set a record. People would have hair that is truly rapunzel you know what you're right because the world's longest documented hair belongs to a woman in china who started growing it from the age of 13 uh in 1973 and in 2004 it was 18 feet 5 inches. Wow. How heavy is that? She said, quote, it's no trouble at all. So I guess, based on that testimony. I'm a liar. Based on that testimony of it being no trouble at all, I'm going to take a word for it.
Starting point is 00:20:57 I'm going to go hair. Okay. Hairless? There is. You could like. You don't have to wear clothes anymore. You just wear your hair down. I'm looking at pictures of this.
Starting point is 00:21:08 The hair is as long as the height of a giraffe. Jason's been trying to figure out how he's going to get up and punch a giraffe in the face. I'm just going to whip him with my hair? Yes. Hair battle. She said, it's no trouble at all. I'm used to it.
Starting point is 00:21:25 But you need patience, and you need to hold yourself straight when you have hair like this. Yeah. Okay. The thing about long hair is you do. You get used to it. I used to have long hair. And then you cut it all off, and you go, wow, this is fantastic. I save a lot of money on shampoo.
Starting point is 00:21:41 What a world. Now, the longest fingernails in the world. Gross. I guess he started growing them after a teacher accidentally broke off his long nail at age 14. He grew them until he was... I'll show you. He grew them six decades until he was 82 and just cut them off finally. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:22:01 They're on display. And they're six and a half feet long sick what so they hold on they are disgusting he said a teacher broke his nail off and he got him back when he was 14 i'll show you so his his way of revenge upon the world was to grow his nails out forever yes i i'll just say this don't google world's longest nails because no let's move on spit wads some things are just better at home sweet home and peloton delivers a workout experience that you'd never imagine was possible right in your home. I just got my 52-week badge of honor from Peloton, which means I've been riding for over a year now. And it has honestly transformed my life.
Starting point is 00:22:57 I feel so much better. I have energy in the afternoon. And when I get off the Peloton, I have accomplished something. I feel good. I'm pumped up from my instructor and the music playlist that they have on there. Look, I'm a child of the 90s. And they have pop punk playlists that scratch every vintage niche that I need. Any type of music, they have it for you.
Starting point is 00:23:26 The instructors are so, their personalities shine, and they really do motivate you legitimately. I love my Peloton so much. I just got done with a 30-day challenge with some of my buddies who have a Peloton, so we're competing against each other like a friendly, healthy competition as we all work on that fitness and feel better on our Pelotons. And you've got to try it out. With the Peloton bike, there's nothing like working out from home. You can learn more at onepeloton.com,
Starting point is 00:23:54 and new members can try Peloton classes free for 30 days at onepeloton.com slash app. Terms apply. That's O-N-E-P-E-L-O-T-O-N dot com. That's a great question. All right. This one comes in from, ooh, that's a unique name, Betrez on Instagram. All right. I'm in an office with lots of cubicles. How far is too far away to say bless you when someone sneezes? Hmm.
Starting point is 00:24:35 My work is not sinking in, gentlemen. Because you are an anti-bless you person. I am an anti-bless you person. Look. Yes. You're not polite. I get it. No.
Starting point is 00:24:43 You sneeze. It is the responsibility is upon the sneezer. You say you go around and apologize to the whole office. I'm so sorry. No, you don't need to apologize. You just say a simple excuse me. We move on with our day. We stop with this nonsense of bless yous.
Starting point is 00:25:00 And how many bless yous do I give? You didn't fart. You didn't burp or fart. Why are you excusing yourself? Why are you blessing someone for sneezing? Do you say excuse me when you publicly fart? I would. Well, not around you, because I do not excuse myself.
Starting point is 00:25:17 Excuse me, everyone. If I was in a place with strangers and I farted, of course I'd say, oh, excuse me. No, you would not. You would not say anything at all. You would sit in the corner, face turning beet red, not say a single thing. You saying excuse me means you're taking credit. But if it was audible
Starting point is 00:25:35 and they know, I mean, look, if it was silent, yeah, I'm holding on to that forever. But if this is like, yes, I farted, I know I farted, I would have to be like, excuse me, everyone. It's not excuse me. I have, excuse yes, I farted. I know I farted. I would have to be like, excuse me, everyone. It's not excuse me. I have, excuse me.
Starting point is 00:25:50 I have a very special announcement. I farted. I don't know why. It's just we have, we in society have said it's the polite thing to do. If you have any kind of bodily function, you say, excuse me. But the thing about bless you, and we'll get to the question, is that it is traditionally just polite. If someone sneezes around you, it's polite to say bless you to the point where if it was in close proximity and you didn't, you would then be indicting yourself by social standards.
Starting point is 00:26:18 And it's dumb. Get rid of it. Where did Gesundheit go? Could you jump back in on Gesundheit? It translated to bless you. I know, but I'm just saying like. It's Valerian for bless you. When I was growing up, it was like, I feel like they were just as common.
Starting point is 00:26:34 Bless you and Gesundheit. I never really was in a Gesundheit neighborhood. No? No. So, not your family? That's what they went with? No, it wasn't just family. It was society. I mean, you guys grew just family. It was, it was society.
Starting point is 00:26:46 I mean, you guys grew up in the same society I grew up in. The person yelling across cubicles wants to be given credit for saying bless you too much. They want to be the office. Bless you guy. That no matter what happens, bless you. They stand up. They just bless you taking laps. That's right.
Starting point is 00:27:04 I did it. Now, what if you walk up over there and you give them a little pat on the back and go, bless you. So you're saying, will you accept that for many people it's just a kindness, a polite saying? Yes, I understand that. So if that is true, then basically what we're saying here is the rule is if you're the nearest person, then it's
Starting point is 00:27:23 polite. What if they pass on it, though? Do you take the mantle? Because I'm not doing it. A cubicle is a cubicle. You could sneeze in my face. If you sneeze and your cubicle is touching mine, I'm going to give you a bless you. But if you are not touching mine
Starting point is 00:27:39 and somebody else passes on the bless you, do you take the mantle? I think in that situation, it's appropriate. somebody has to say it in that office and i think you are if you grab the mantle of the bless you you are just incredibly pompous and making it all about yourself i feel like you're wrong here i think that you're incredibly kind and you want to make how are you kind but just because that person bless you here's what almost escaped your, but I stopped it because I said bless you. That person over there. You don't have the plague.
Starting point is 00:28:09 What if, you know, Hilda. Preposterous. Hilda in accounting just sneezed. No one around her had the decency to say bless you. Rude people. Hilda now feels that she is the skunk of the office. The runt of the office. Yeah, well, she works right around three mics,
Starting point is 00:28:25 apparently. Yeah. I'm going to give her a big thumbs up. Oh, like good job sneezing? Yep. Oh, maybe you'd go with the nice job. That'll make people feel real comfortable. Sure. Why not? Because it makes just as much sense. Top sneeze. Top sneeze. That's
Starting point is 00:28:42 a good one. Top sneeze. Killer. Start rating them. I give it a seven. Now, the problem is there are multi-sneezers. That's what I'm saying. It's a huge problem. Multi-sneezers. Do you double the bless you?
Starting point is 00:28:55 No, no, no. You make the joke, right? You go, bless you again. No. That's the worst. Multi-sneezers do not deserve bless you. You get punched in the face. Now, two sneezes is fine.
Starting point is 00:29:05 Any more than two, I don't like them. If you're one of them sick sneezers, just stay away from me. I have a real pet peeve with the sick sneezers. But they don't control it. But I know something about them. That you dislike? They're built wrong. No, he knows.
Starting point is 00:29:24 He's like like i have to freaking say bless you six times to this dumb person who keeps sneezing so mike is unkind and then we say read the room read the room if you're on the opposite side of the room you shouldn't really have to raise your voice across the room there it is that's the answer if you have to raise your voice to be heard then it's all about. You shouldn't have to read the room when someone sneezes. Chris from Twitter. Stop wasting brain power on this. Do you walk out of the bathroom, Jason, after you've had a number two,
Starting point is 00:29:52 and do you go, excuse me? No. No, I don't think that excuse me is for pooping. Wait, okay. Let's say you're in the bathroom. Okay. Your two stalls over. Oh, I've blessed someone there.
Starting point is 00:30:06 You have blessed someone in the bathroom? I've done a bathroom bless you, but in fairness. You're both in the middle of your business? In fairness, that's a joke. I'm not doing it as a polite courtesy. You're doing it so that they laugh. I'm doing it so that they laugh. You, sir, are making a mockery of a strong tradition of bless yous.
Starting point is 00:30:24 No urinal bless yous? No urinal blessing. A little too close of bless yous. No urinal blessings? No urinal blessing. A little too close quarters. Why? They sneeze, Jason. It's the polite thing to do. Because there's a time and a place, Mike, that's inappropriate. You don't greet people.
Starting point is 00:30:35 You don't. What about people sneezing in the movie theater? Okay, hold on. Time out. Another rabbit hole. No, absolutely not. Another rabbit hole here. Someone sneezes at a wedding.
Starting point is 00:30:44 Well. Probably not. At a wedding, sure. During the ceremony, no. No, of course not. No, you don. Another rabbit hole here. Someone sneezes at a wedding. Well. Probably not. At a wedding, sure. During the ceremony, no. During ceremony. No, of course not. No, no, you don't. Why?
Starting point is 00:30:49 You forego your right. It's the polite thing to do. Urinal talkers. Your silence speaks volumes. No, no, no. I want to get back to a far more important. Okay. Urinal talkers.
Starting point is 00:30:59 Urinal talkers. Oh. Not okay, right? No, it's not okay. Not okay, but you end up having to respond to this. Because if they say something- No, you don't. Oh, Mike doesn't.
Starting point is 00:31:09 No, you don't. I don't have the gall to not say anything back. You lock eyes with that man, and you say nothing. You just stare into their soul until they are shamed and realize what they have done, and they will never do it again. My hope. He just goes, oh, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:31:28 I'm peeing with my privates right now. That's what you should say. Hold on. I'm still, I'm, hold on a minute. I'm peeing with my privates. Excuse me, sir. I'm peeing with my privates. Privacy, please.
Starting point is 00:31:41 Oh, this is tailspun. Um, Chris from Twitter, is it okay to eat and drink the food that you are intending to pay for when you are shopping or waiting for the cashier? I have a cut and dry, black and white answer for this. I have. 100% yes. So here's the deal. I saw this beforehand, and I was curious. I know you guys know my take on this, right?
Starting point is 00:32:05 Say it on three. One, two, three. No. I think you do eat it. You think I do eat it? Is that what you're saying? Oh, no, you don't because you don't want to be confrontational. You're embarrassed.
Starting point is 00:32:18 See, because I feel like my brand is eat at all times. So, of course, yes, I'm going to buy this. I'm not waiting on these donuts hostess has made them for me i'm gonna open the bag and eat but i can't do it and you're right andy it's the computational thing like my wife sees you question you also look like a shoplifter but you are in that moment shoplifting technically you are correct i believe i mean like that's the problem you have taken a good and you have not exchanged. Do you sample the grapes?
Starting point is 00:32:46 No, I don't sample the grapes. You sample the grapes? No, I don't. But as a kid, my mom would give me a couple grapes or something. That's the thing. My wife is totally okay with this. And especially for the kids. That's what it's okay for.
Starting point is 00:32:59 It's usually for the kids. It's for the kids. It's open them up. Yeah, you can have one. Whatever. You just altered the weight. But I hate this. Well, you're not paying for cereal by weight, Mike.
Starting point is 00:33:06 But you're paying for grapes by weight. You did say grapes. Why are you changing it to cereal? Now it's stolen forever. You can no longer pay for that grape. They factor that into their numbers. Right. That's right.
Starting point is 00:33:20 They do factor. Businesses. No, businesses factor in theft into their profits. So he's right. Your mother, your thieving mother has been factored in to this business's bottom line. And I am against it. You don't sample all the bananas? You don't peel them all, take a bite, find the right one? See, I feel like I'm being a little jocular here.
Starting point is 00:33:44 Like the grapes grapes i get it you can take a grape or two a banana though i'm kidding i don't can't take a banana i don't think you can take a banana you can't unless you it's too big but a banana that's not done by weight that's not yes it is no bananas aren't by weight yes they are every all fruit and produce is by weight i think bananas they do have like two forfor-one banana sales, don't they? Or stuff like that? It's got to be by weight. Look, I don't do a lot of shopping. The last time I have personally bought bananas, it's been a while. The produce section is a little intimidating to me.
Starting point is 00:34:15 I'll be honest with you. Very much. I don't know what I can grab, what I have to bag, what I don't have to bag. 89 cents a pound right now. Because there's no other way to do it. Do you have to bag all the produce? Or can you just freeload it into your cart? Borland, what do you do?
Starting point is 00:34:29 Ooh. How much is this food? Where do you weigh in on this? I bag all produce except bananas. I was going to say, you've got to weigh in on bananas. They have a nice... Well, okay, so... And grapes come pre-bagged.
Starting point is 00:34:40 What do you do with oranges? Bag them. Yeah, you've got to bag them. I guess they're two, so that's a dumb... Now, do you do the weighing on Bag them. Yeah, you can bag them. I guess they're two words, so that's a dumb... Now, do you do the weighing on your own in the produce section? People do that? It's not the 60s anymore. I don't even know why they have those scales.
Starting point is 00:34:54 I got to meet my produce budget. So the scales are there for your information, and then they weigh it at the front. So if you eat some of the grapes between your bagging and to the front, you're saving some cash. Yes, you are. Excellent. Can you please? You go up with the cereal and you go, can you please? But now Mr. Bash's is out.
Starting point is 00:35:13 Can I pay by weight for this? Can I pay by? You know what they got to do? They got to weigh you as you go in. Everyone who comes through the doors of the grocery store, you step on. So if you weigh more yourself. And then they weigh you on the way out. But do you get money if you weigh less?
Starting point is 00:35:30 Like if I stop by the bathroom, unload the children. That's a loophole. Yeah. There's a loophole here. You only pay if you go up. That's fair. Sure. You only pay if you go up.
Starting point is 00:35:38 You're like, sir, you're a half a pound heavier. You're going to need to pay the great price. So you come in with some bottle water in your pocket, leave them behind, eat as much as you want in the grocery store. I have grown to be comfortable eating in the grocery store. I was
Starting point is 00:35:57 not comfortable. Now I am perfectly fine with it. I feel like I've grown up enough. I'm securing my own self. If a 16-year-old or 18-year-old employee of that store comes up to confront me, I'll be like, what you got? I'm eating your food. I'm eating your food. I don't care. I feel better.
Starting point is 00:36:13 I'll pay for it. I feel better if I have cash. If I know I'm paying in cash. So you can just throw dollars at the people? No, not for bribery purposes. I feel better because- Yo, let me eat these. at the people. No, not for bribery purposes.
Starting point is 00:36:23 I feel better because... Yo, let me eat these. You know, I've been at the store before where my chip reader stops working and it's like... I would be fearful that for some reason the credit card would not work.
Starting point is 00:36:37 That's on them. If my credit card doesn't work, that's your problem. I do take that view from now on. These are mine now. I'm like, how can you not let me steal this? That's what I say. I am anti-thievery.
Starting point is 00:36:50 Andy is pro-thievery. That's a bold statement. All right, one more great question from Noah on the website. It used to be that you shouldn't call someone after a certain time because they might be sleeping. With modern-day cell phones and the ability to do do not disturb, is it now impolite to text somebody at any time? Or is it impolite to text?
Starting point is 00:37:08 This is interesting. Because I have received phone calls at all hours of the night from people that, from businesses that think it's totally appropriate and fine. You seem like Mr. Do not disturb mode. Like I feel like you would be someone that would utilize that feature. I do utilize that feature. So how are you getting these calls? You don't use that? Not really, no.
Starting point is 00:37:30 No, I utilize it, but like 10 o'clock. 10 o'clock, I don't want to get a text. 8 p.m. 8? That's right. 8 p.m.? 8 p.m. So if I text you at 8.30?
Starting point is 00:37:38 I won't get it. Come on. What? I won't get it unless I look at my phone. Wait, hold on, hold on. We've got a whole new issue. Why? Why 8 p.m.? That's not near your bedtime, is it? I don't need to talk I look at my phone. Wait, hold on, hold on. We've got a whole new issue. Why? Why 8 p.m.?
Starting point is 00:37:45 That's not near your bedtime, is it? I don't need to talk to you at 8.30. What? No, I'm very surprised. It's not near my bedtime. Do you check your text, though, after 8 o'clock? It's just like you just don't want to be alerted. Yes.
Starting point is 00:37:57 I'm usually on my phone at some time between 8 and midnight. 8 p.m.? That's right. I'm at 10 p.m. I'm like, you need to get all. Do not disturb, though. It works where if somebody on your contact list calls you during that time. It will go through.
Starting point is 00:38:10 You still get it. You're not going to get spam. Because if somebody calls me. It's important. They need to talk to me. If you're texting me. And I just, I don't really like text messaging anyways. I was called at like 8.30 p.m. on a saturday was it a blood drive no it wasn't a
Starting point is 00:38:27 blood i'm not talking about solicitation i'm talking about to confirm an appointment somebody at a business called me at like a like a doctor's office called me 8 30 p.m on a weekend that's a great doctor's office yeah that's not too bad that's a good thing i don't i don't think that's too bad i've been called after eight uh and it I had my phone, so I felt the phone call. I answered. They were calling for a blood drive, and I said, ma'am. Did you say it's 8? I said, ma'am, do you know what time it is?
Starting point is 00:38:57 But it was only 8. I mean, that's the issue here, Mike. I think 8 o'clock is the line where it gets weird. You're in mid-30s. You're not mid-80s where 8 p.m. is a reasonable expectation to say, it might be too late for No, it's a reasonable expectation that I'm not getting cold called for a blood drive after 8 p.m. I'm with Mike on that. I would have said, yes, sir. It's 8.10.
Starting point is 00:39:22 It's not that late. That's what you would have said on the other end. You darn right. You would have got it. You certainly would have got his blood. I mean, oh, you're darn right. I would not have got off that call without blood. Without his blood.
Starting point is 00:39:34 Or a hang up. Email me your blood. I can't believe you're siding with the cold callers after 8 p.m. I will side with whatever is on the other side of an 8 p.m. Note to self. Don't text Mike after 8. Call him. Exactly. See, the problem has been solved.
Starting point is 00:39:50 You're crazy, man. If a business calls me after 5 p.m. After closing time. You are dead to me. I don't want to talk to you. I think we've learned. Here's my advance, what I learned on the show today. Mike is a serious man.
Starting point is 00:40:04 He is a curmudgeon. Were you goth? Oh, this is a good question. Have you smiled? I've been mysterious in my day. Yeah. Mysterious man. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:13 Did you have a really secure wallet? It was very secure. I did a lot of shopping at Hot Topic. So I was good to go, man. Yeah, two pairs of two elephant legs walking around with the JNCOs. Look, I played guitar in junior high. I liked Metallica. There was some black clothing involved.
Starting point is 00:40:30 All right. All right. That makes sense why you don't smile as much as you should. Let's get into the draft. Spitwads, if you haven't heard us talk about Nuts.com before, well, congratulations because you're hearing us talk about nuts.com right now. They are amazing.

Starting point is 00:41:54 Terms apply. Available at Nuts.com slash terms. The Spitballers Draft. All right. We have a cool draft. I just read it before the show started. Best TV shows to binge watch. Best TV shows to binge watch.
Starting point is 00:42:17 Mike has the first pick in this one. Mike stole last week's draft from my clutches. And Mike kicks it off today. This is interesting. Because people, I mean, binge watching, it's how people watch TV nowadays. You know, what's the next thing that I'm supposed to go binge? You know, that's what people ask around the water cooler.
Starting point is 00:42:37 Around the water cooler, yes. Nobody hangs out of water coolers anymore, right? Do they have water coolers? Nope. This one's gonna get tough it is extremely tough because before we came in here jason and i were talking about it and jason had a pick that he wanted first and i had a pick that i wanted first and then i was thinking more about okay it's bingeable what what exactly does that mean that means that you can watch tons of episodes in a row?
Starting point is 00:43:08 Yes. That is what it means. And that you want to. Yeah, that you want to. You just want to keep watching, and you'll watch it for hours a night. Yeah, generally it's going to be a show that has been around a little while because you've got enough. But that's what I mean.
Starting point is 00:43:22 Has it been around? Yeah, I mean, something that is it season one right now? You're not going to say is really binge worthy, but maybe I could see. Yeah. If there's a new show out, this is exactly what I was talking about. It's not. It's not that confusing to me. I agree.
Starting point is 00:43:34 Yeah. Because you want to know why it's not confusing because we use this language all the time and we say, hey, is there a good show that I should binge? And then someone answers it. And if it's new and it's still bingeable. Yeah. You can answer it any way you want. But I mean, by binge, you've watched it.
Starting point is 00:43:51 Okay, you're done with it. No. Not necessarily. Not necessarily. That's all I meant. Is this something that you want to go back to? I do. This is what I do with everything.
Starting point is 00:44:00 Well, here's the thing. That's true. That's fair. Here's how I would do if I were you. I would think, do I like binge watching this show? Yeah. And then answer. If yes,
Starting point is 00:44:09 it applies. All right. You have the first pick, Mike, in the TV shows that you want to binge. All right. Game of Thrones. I knew it.
Starting point is 00:44:17 I knew for sure. I knew. I was, I was, I was relieving myself on the toilet earlier and I knew for sure that you were going to go get him. You could have just said I was in the bathroom earlier.
Starting point is 00:44:28 No, but here's. But then what's he doing? Is he washing his hands? Right, exactly. Is he powdering his nose? I was not putting hair product in my hair. Jason, thank you for letting me into your world. Specificity.
Starting point is 00:44:39 But I do some of my best thinking there. And so we need to peel back the curtain here for a second. You weren't here yet, Andy. We had this whole debate, and I was like, well, this is not even a fair one because whoever gets Game of Thrones is going to win. I don't think that means you're going to win. Sure, and I hope it doesn't because, obviously, I didn't get it. But Mike's like, that wouldn't even be my one-on-one. And he said what his one-on-one would be.
Starting point is 00:45:01 And I was like, okay, whatever. That's fine. Great. I get Game of thrones and then i was going to the bathroom i go oh there's no chance when we're on the clock that this guy who didn't want game of thrones as his 101 doesn't take it so spit wads vote accordingly because this is you guys give me garbage for all my going game of thr. Game of Thrones went number one. It is timely. We give you garbage for trying to alter things after the fact. You just need to let it lie.
Starting point is 00:45:31 When the polls posted, Jason, just let it go. Oh, you've gotten in on it too, Andy. Don't act above the fray there. The amount of GIFs going on our movie poll. I only reply to your GIFs with GIFs. That's what happens. All right. I'm on the clock.
Starting point is 00:45:46 Now you can have my pick. I'm not going to take that because I did not think that was worthy. I'm going to take Breaking Bad. Breaking Bad is one of those things that to me in binge watching shows, this is a personal thing. It doesn't have to be for everybody. But the thing
Starting point is 00:46:02 that really makes it bingey is when the end of the episode, like I'm ready to turn it off. It's already 11 o'clock. I need to get to bed. But the end of the episode goes, oh, my gosh, I have to see what comes next. Right. And you just can't.
Starting point is 00:46:18 You're like a cliffhanger. Yeah, you can't ever stop. They just hook you. Breaking Bad did a great job of that. Great show. I love that you chose that because I have a combo that I wanted to pair. I wanted to go back to back. I've got the third and fourth pick in this draft.
Starting point is 00:46:34 This was going to be my first pick. And I'm going with the combination of The Office. Very strong. And Parks and Recreation. Dang it. I really wanted one of those two. I heard some exclamations from the producer chair. Who was that?
Starting point is 00:46:49 Was that you, Borland? That was both me and Brooks at the same time. I'm taking The Office, and I'm taking Parks and Recreation. I much would have preferred to be where you are sitting. I was so hoping that they would both reach me so I could double up on them. But basically, first of all, The Office, you had seasons from 2005 to 2013. Parks and Rec, same thing. You can sit down.
Starting point is 00:47:12 You can watch them infinitely. You can watch them. Not only can you binge them all, but you can binge them all repeatedly with no harm done. You're not getting less than. You're still laughing constantly. You're still loving every moment of your life when you're watching them. And they're both the two most spectacular sitcom series that you can imagine. They speak binge to me.
Starting point is 00:47:35 And they're both available on Netflix. They're great. There's nothing I can do to disparage that. No, I'm really upset. I thought for sure you would have stolen one of those from me. Well, here's the deal. I figure you would want variety in your picks. I would not have assumed you would have taken those very similar shows together on the same roster.
Starting point is 00:47:53 So I just assumed I'm taking whichever one you don't. I knew you'd take one of those two. So you thought one would drop. I thought one would come back to me. I would have been just a little bit of an underhanded. Got it. Or Parks and Rec so that my team isn't just one temperature like Andy's. Right.
Starting point is 00:48:09 Yeah. Got it. I'll tell you what, man. It is pretty early to be Tilton. I'm on my second pick. I told you, man. And I am Tilton. This is tough.
Starting point is 00:48:22 Just so you know, office and Parks and Rec not available. You cannot select those. I will take Game Office and Parks and Rec not available you cannot select them I will take Game of Thrones then also not available when I you know again when I think of binge watching shows I definitely think I think of the shows that come out at once you know Netflix revolutionized everything with House of Cards you guys can feel free to draft that if you so want. No, thank you. That has died. But I'm going to go with, I think, the follow-up Smash Netflix special.
Starting point is 00:48:55 We all love it. I thought it might get back to me. No, Stranger Things is fantastic. The fact that you've got that look back into the the 80s like there's not a lot of there's not a lot of shows that are in that time period because it's kind of this weird in between time and uh they capture it well and you got the sci-fi no that was great that was i was really hoping that was going to drop to be my pick ah Ah, yeah. Your turn to tilt. Well, I know what one of them that I'm going to take. You've got two picks and uh, your team right now
Starting point is 00:49:31 is game of Thrones and then these two. Thank you for the update. I wasn't quite sure who was on my roster. Uh, so while I'm trying to stall and figure out the second pick, I'll take the first one, which is the longest running show on television. I will take the Simpsons. Uh, it's spectacular. Sure. Sure.
Starting point is 00:49:52 The new episodes, they're not as good as the old ones, but that's why it's binge worthy. I can still go back. Talk about a binge. That would take you like 30 years. Yeah. Now,
Starting point is 00:50:02 did you, this is kind of a side note. I heard someone talking about Disney Plus, and they said that The Simpsons is going to be on there. Hmm. That's weird. Disney owns Fox now. Disney owns Fox Properties. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:19 Yeah. So do they really own the back catalog to The Simpsons? I believe they do, yes. That's... Holy crap. Aren't there like Monopoly rules in this country that Disney can't own everything? Nope. No rules.
Starting point is 00:50:32 All right. So I have Game of Thrones. I have The Simpsons. I will follow that up with Netflix, Spence. Do I really want to do this? No, you don't. Take more time Alright
Starting point is 00:50:47 Please take a long time You need to think through this Mike For sure Alright Netflix Spent a whole Lot of money to acquire this
Starting point is 00:51:04 Series I think Let me actually make, Oh my gosh, you guys do this. It's not as easy. Mr. Parks and rec and, and the office fell right into my lap. Yeah, I've got, I've got like 10 on my list. So I'm fine. You must watch a lot of television. You guys do your thing and I'll be fine when it gets back to me. All right. Whatever. Netflix spent a lot of money to get this series. People still watch it. People still talk about I will take friends. Yeah. That's the Yankees pick there. Yeah for sure. Yeah. I mean it makes sense if we're drafting quality sitcoms then that's good. Bingeable shows. Now a lot of people binge Friends. A lot of people binge Friends.
Starting point is 00:51:46 A lot of people watch Friends. They tried to take Friends off of Netflix and the revolt happened and then the bingers, my sisters watched through it like a thousand times. All right. I'm going to go. Mike, thank you.
Starting point is 00:52:00 You took enough time to get me one. Excellent. Andy, I really, when it comes to you, I know you've got a list of like 20. You're going to think through those slowly i'm taking the hand we only have one so yeah the handmaid's tale okay um it's one of those where i've got a couple on my list where when i watched the first episode or two like breaking bad i watched it i watched the first like four episodes once years and years ago when it was only two seasons in.
Starting point is 00:52:25 I was like, I can't watch this. It was just too – I didn't like it. Same thing happened with him. And then other people were like, no, it's good. Push through. And it's – yeah, it's great. So look, that's Hulu. That's Hulu, right?
Starting point is 00:52:35 That's Hulu's only platform show. That is their – it's trying to keep Hulu alive. And it's great. Hulu also owned by disney just so you know yes unbelievable um also the spitballers owned by disney uh you could be mr disney i'm open we are listening to offers he's dead he's dead there's more than one mr or mrs disney oh i thought you're talking to walt he's still frozen yeah his head's frozen somewhere we know he'll be back all right um cool cool you took handmaid's tale nice all right i'm going with walking dead He's still frozen. Yeah, his head's frozen somewhere. We know this. He'll be back. All right. Cool.
Starting point is 00:53:05 Cool. You took Handmaid's Tale. Nice. All right. I'm going with Walking Dead. Okay. Walking Dead. What an idiot.
Starting point is 00:53:14 I forgot that show existed. Well, it's because neither one of you was watching it. No, I absolutely did. I binged through seasons one through three. Well, one through three? Yeah. They're on like season nine. I get it, but it's the most binge worthy okay people jump in on it you watch it you're in that world something that's binge worthy
Starting point is 00:53:29 if you go outside the sitcom realm you go into what's gonna suck me into a universe sure and i'm gonna break a man's heart it's on my list i'm gonna break a man's soul i'm going walking dead and i'm going battlestar Galactica. What? Wait, did you watch it? 100%. Oh, all right. Front to back. Front to back.
Starting point is 00:53:50 That does break my heart. I would never have picked it because I don't know that it's like... No, no. I don't know how much... It's no Handmaid's Tale. I will tell you this. Battlestar Galactica does not hold up if you did not watch it back when you were young. Malarkey.
Starting point is 00:54:05 Malarkey. Malarkey. You have absolutely no possible way to answer that question because you watched it back when you were younger. No, he didn't. He was later. He was later to the party. When did you watch it? When did you watch it?
Starting point is 00:54:16 I watched it when we were at Broken Bowl. So that was a decade ago. Seven years ago. I'm thinking in terms of what shows do I hear most recommended in terms of going and binging a series not every series is out right now game of thrones still finishing up handmaid's tale still going i think walking dead is still going yes um but battle star is one of those ones we go oh man i'm on netflix what do i what do i want to go watch through what do i want to
Starting point is 00:54:41 dive into totally i believe there's even you get two episodes in you're like wow that's all i need to see no it isn't yeah what's the um i'm trying to think of the show uh there's even a joke about once you start battlestar galactica there's a sitcom that shows it and you sit down in that chair there's a joke about these two this couple that rinse it and then they're in portland it was in portland. They rent Battlestar Galactica, and they sit there for like six months. They lose their jobs. They don't pay their bills. They just sit on the couch melting into the show. Walking Dead and Battlestar Galactica, the perfect combo to finish off my Parks and Rec
Starting point is 00:55:16 offer. I need to speak here, because it's usually my job to besmirch, degrade both of your teams and your picks, because that's my role here. Battlestar Galactica is my favorite show of all time. It is my number one. I'm so sorry for you. No. You didn't watch enough.
Starting point is 00:55:35 Yeah, you haven't watched enough. Oh, trust me. I saw enough. He couldn't handle the fracks. Here's the thing. Yeah, exactly. The what? This is above you, Mike. You don't understand. Here's the thing. My, exactly. The what? This is above you, Mike.
Starting point is 00:55:45 You don't understand. Here's the thing. My wife made fun of me. Literally, it's in the universe. My wife made fun of me forever for watching this. It was called Nerdactica in my house. Yes. Oh, it's a nerd show, for sure.
Starting point is 00:55:55 For sure. Nerdactica was on our TV, and she saw, I don't know, parts of 20 episodes that she just railed on and made fun of it was so stupid she saw enough to know how stupid it was eventually did you suck her in she got hooked she watched it with me and she acknowledges what a great show it is because it's unbelievable if you can watch all day so great pick thank you if you could make it through i possibly possibly it'd be good then um i'm gonna make a fight since i'm having a hard time here right yes i'm having a hard time figuring out which shows to watch whatever i'm giving this pick to me not to you oh i'm giving this pick to our producer of the fantasy footballers, Brooks, because I know his favorite show that he has for years tried to just, I mean, he's.
Starting point is 00:56:48 Oh, my gosh, you panderer. I'm not pandering. You panderer. This is not a panderer. You've never watched it. No, I have not. Look, I know how big. I have multiple friends, Paul, Brooks.
Starting point is 00:56:59 They say it's the best show of all time, and I don't know what to pick. So why would I not go with what my best friends say? You've got to binge watch this show. Because he's not picking a show. It's smart. He's being smart. It's The Wire. He's being smart.
Starting point is 00:57:13 The Wire is, to so many people, their favorite show of all time. Brooks is nodding in appreciation. You're welcome. You do go back a ways with The Wire. We'll see how that lands on the polls it's it is a good show um it is a famous show so um how many what is your team my team is handmaidens tale the wire stranger things and breaking bad okay mike it's very serious yeah well it is i mean when i think of binge shows i think serious like like for instance i watch parks and rec all the time i love it it's unbelievably binge watch it but i don't binge
Starting point is 00:57:51 watch it no i i throw it on when we're like doing laundry or something it's a background how many episodes do you watch in a row however many laundry i'm doing excellent, your team so far? I don't even remember. Who do I got? I got Game of Thrones, I got The Simpsons, and I got Friends. Oh my gosh. It's just a strong, strong pillared team. There's no nuance needed for that team. You've got
Starting point is 00:58:17 powerhouses. And I'm going to finish it off with if you don't go with Friends as the best sitcom from the 90s you go to seinfeld so that's who i will take because i'm not so serious despite my takes on bless you uh what's funny is that's the one i'm serious what i've what i've heard and i'm a seinfeld lifer you know this it actually hurts me that you have it on your team and I don't. I'm pretty surprised you – I had it written down.
Starting point is 00:58:46 I didn't take it. One of the reasons why is because I've heard from people, if you don't watch Seinfeld, you can't go back and watch it because the laugh track and – Of course. And that type of thing. But if you did watch it – We call that the Galactica syndrome.
Starting point is 00:59:01 Right. You can't go back. But if you were a watcher, you can watch it infinitely. you were a watcher you can watch it infinitely yes you can watch it forever there were there were two picks and we're done with the draft there were two i didn't take that i really thought about and that was dexter and true detective true detective season one is one of the most binge worthy edge of your seat series ever and then dexter i was so into dexter i will say the i didn, I haven't seen any Dexter. Oh, so good. And I don't have like... It holds up, too.
Starting point is 00:59:27 This isn't a show where all my friends have seen it, but the ones who have watched it, they will put the cape on. They will stand forever for Dexter. When it was going on... It was great. The John Lithgow season, season three. Oh, that was awesome. You know something that I learned?
Starting point is 00:59:44 What'd you learn on the show? So this is actually something I genuinely have just learned right now during this draft, and it's not a joke. I don't consider, like for me, not for you. You vote however you want. I don't consider comedies binge shows. Like I'm just realizing that. As I look at your guys' roster. When I was talking about what
Starting point is 01:00:05 define a binge show at the beginning of this draft you're like oh it's so easy no no I just learned it I learned that in for me when I'm looking for a show to binge it's never going to be a comedy I love comedies I love I mean obviously but when I think of a binge show I don't think of comedy I just learned that about myself. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Interesting. I learned today that Jason is very specific of when he can actually say bless you, even though he was very insistent that you should always be blessed after a sneeze. You should.
Starting point is 01:00:37 I hope you are out there. I hope it... Bless you. And I learned that apparently you're supposed to say excuse me if you fart. Sir, I'm peeing with my privates right now. I'm peeing with my privates. Please speak to me after I'm peeing with my privates. Thank you for tuning in, listening, supporting, subscribing.
