Mike
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.
Jason
I'm glad you brought it up at the end.
Andy
Yeah, it was a. It was a sneak attack.
Jason
It was.
Mike
It was a sneeze attack from the bushes.
Andy
Sounded like a sneeze.
Mike
Yeah, it was very.
Jason
God bless you.
Mike
It very much reminded me of a sneeze. I don't know. Owl did it. Did you. Can you hear a sneeze out of that?
Andy
No, I love it.
Al Borland
I thought it was great. It was musical and had a nice climax.
Jason
It was great. Why don't you guys just kiss?
Andy
This is why Jeremy is the senior producer of our content.
Jason
Well, it's episode 357, so you're sitting
Andy
by the junior producer who didn't really help set up the set.
Jason
Did Josh do anything today?
Andy
No, he's. I mean, well, he sat down and he was like, hey, do this, do this.
Al Borland
In Josh's defense, he did half of
Andy
Matt's job is Josh.
Jason
What was Matt's job? To set up the desk.
Andy
Correct. Josh.
Mike
Oh, my gosh.
Andy
What title have we given you?
Jason
He did half Of a job that was easy. I think it is executive assistant.
Andy
No, no, no, no, no. What exactly?
Mike
Would never have the word assistant to the regional manager.
Jason
Executive assistant to the janitor.
Andy
There we go. There we go. Would you rather, man, oh, my. I had a panic attack that you had an executive in your name.
Jason
No, no. We're so far from that.
Andy
Can we please make sure it says junior?
Jason
We installed a glass ceiling for Josh,
Andy
but it's like, bulletproof.
Jason
It's a bulletproof glass polycarbonate. Would you rather.
Andy
Man of the people. You will never shatter the glass ceiling, Josh. Never.
Jason
We lower it. We just keep lowering the ceiling. The draft today, foods. You can't have just one of. So we have Mike. Mike's got the first pick, but we're
Andy
drafting what a draft to have the first pick.
Jason
You can't have just one of. You can follow the spitballers at spitballers pod on.
Andy
You have a one on one. So all foods. Hold on, hold on. You have a one. Like a clear.
Mike
I think there are two, so I'm happy to have the second pick.
Andy
Okay. Like I said, if there's two, then there's not a one.
Jason
You going pander bear today?
Mike
No, I don't think so. I'm going with what? I can't just eat one of.
Jason
Okay. I think there's a lot of good answers, though. Yeah, I actually have one that I think is the most authentic answer. Neither of you will.
Mike
Ice cream. I can't just eat one ice cream.
Jason
You can't pick ice cream because there is no one.
Mike
One pint. That's what you would say. I can't eat just one pint.
Andy
One scoop.
Jason
Not even a scoop. I mean, it just. It's not quantifiable into one and two and three. Like, give me three ice cream, please.
Andy
Yeah, it's really tough because what I'm happy to say. What's a scoop?
Mike
You know what I mean?
Jason
Like, it depends.
Andy
Yeah, a scoop. You go. You go into an old bnr.
Jason
Oh, my gosh, dude. Can I rant about my wife, please?
Mike
About your wife?
Jason
Can I rant about my wife?
Andy
The floor is. Give him the spotlight, dude.
Mike
Let's go.
Andy
Let's go. Do we have lighting availability?
Mike
Yeah, Jeremy can do anything.
Jason
He can't do that.
Andy
Hold up, wait. No, hold on, hold on, hold on. We got a big look at him working on.
Mike
Oh, my gosh. So unprepared.
Andy
I called you the senior.
Mike
I said he can do anything.
Jason
You did it. He just did it.
Mike
Yeah, he did it with. And we're not editing that out.
Andy
You.
Mike
The whole world's going to watch. You were unprepared.
Jason
Now, my. My words are of more consequence.
Andy
Yeah, but I also need.
Jason
We've been married for 20 years.
Andy
Hold on. Just real quick for a timeout. You're telling me that Matt has. No. You're shaking your head. You just don't have access over there on Spitballers.
Jason
Listen, he's doing two jobs.
Andy
Okay?
Mike
Okay.
Jason
Oh, yeah.
Andy
No, we're okay. We're okay.
Jason
All right.
Mike
Put your wife on blast.
Andy
I got really.
Jason
We've been married for 20 years.
Andy
I got nervous.
Jason
My number one pet peeve with my wife.
Andy
Yeah.
Jason
She finds no purpose in the existence of an ice cream scoop.
Mike
Okay.
Jason
She believes.
Andy
Oh, wait, hold on.
Jason
That it is just you part. Blanche. Go ahead.
Andy
I ask your questions. By ice cream psychosis, I mean I'm in the dark. Why did we go to my camera?
Al Borland
We're talking.
Andy
Oh, my gosh.
Jason
No, go back to the main camera.
Andy
By scoop. Now we're all dark. By scoop, do you mean the. The actual physical tool, the scooper?
Jason
Yes. The one designed for what? What else could he mean?
Andy
Well, when I go to a store or when I go to B and R, I'm like, hey, give me one scoop. I don't know, man. The measurements.
Jason
Listen, our entire marriage, she has insisted upon using a standard. And we've had the big spoon, small spoon. Yeah, yeah.
Andy
Okay. So big spoon. She's cheap.
Jason
She has insisted on using a big or small spoon in lieu of a ice cream scoop because.
Andy
And ice cream scoop.
Jason
And ice cream scoop.
Mike
I would have it if you didn't.
Jason
Because she doesn't want to have to wash it.
Andy
I understand that. What in the crap. It's a rinse.
Mike
Okay, hold on.
Al Borland
It's not a wash.
Mike
Hold on. It's ice cream. I could. I could. I can cut right through the flaw of that logic pretty easily. You know what? You still have to wash. Boom.
Andy
You gotta wash something. Well, she would argue.
Jason
You'd eat with the spoon, then. Yeah, yeah.
Andy
You know, it washes the spoon.
Jason
You know how easy it is to wash an ice cream spoon mouth.
Mike
Okay, watch this.
Andy
I get that.
Jason
I'm done. I get.
Andy
I told.
Jason
It's so much.
Andy
But when do you do it?
Jason
It's powerful.
Mike
When do you.
Andy
When do you wash the. Go. That's a problem.
Jason
You throw it in the. You throw it in the.
Al Borland
Yeah.
Andy
No, no, no, no, no. You're against yourself right now because you delay. How long do you delay as the ice cream dried and now you have dry sugar.
Jason
Rinse and drop.
Mike
Dry ice cream is not that. It's not like dry Mac.
Jason
What are we talking about? Isn't that tar?
Andy
This is not a tar pit. Yes, it's not a tar pit. Anything that is sugary, maybe.
Jason
You guys with your mixins, it's really hard to get off of them, but this has been the biggest. She'll bend a spoon in half. Get an ice cream. You make an ice cream scoop for a reason.
Mike
That's the real demon woman. If you don't want.
Andy
I'm team Brie.
Mike
Oh, my gosh.
Andy
Team Brie.
Jason
Oh, my gosh.
Andy
If you don't want, minimize the washing.
Mike
Look, if you don't want an ice cream scoop, minimize because you can use a spoon. Yeah, that's fine.
Jason
I hope we don't use a ladle with your soup.
Mike
Mike, however. Oh, crap. Yeah, yeah, that's a great counter argument because of course you want a ladle with a custom.
Jason
It's a custom item.
Andy
You don't even want to see what happens when I make spaghetti. There's like five spoons.
Jason
Yeah, there is. Fine. It's part of it.
Mike
But if you don't want to use a ladle for your soup and you don't want to use an ice cream scoop for your ice cream, then don't own them. If you own them.
Andy
If you purchase and you're taking a
Mike
room in your drawer, hide it.
Andy
There's only certain times you can use it.
Jason
She'll put it in, like, the lowest drawer, the furthest away. Not a joke.
Mike
She hides it in the garbage can. Yeah, right before garbage goes out.
Andy
Oh, man, I have no.
Jason
I hate her.
Andy
I have no idea. I have no idea where my ice cream scooper is.
Jason
Oh, that's so you just grab a spoon.
Andy
I don't have ice cream in my house, Andy.
Jason
Oh. Because one thing leads to another.
Mike
Yeah.
Andy
I'm not a. I'm not a true believer as you are.
Jason
Look, I've started a religion.
Andy
Oh, hail.
Jason
Let's do some. Would you rather. Would you rather, Chris from the website? You were selected, slash, forced to sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl.
Mike
Congratulations to us.
Andy
Have I talked about my singing of anthems? You've done this on this podcast.
Mike
No, I don't.
Jason
Well, hold on. Do you want me to ask the rest of the question or.
Andy
No, I'll just tell my story quickly.
Jason
Have you sung?
Andy
Oh, brother, have I. Not only have I acapella. Oh, by yourself? No, no, in a group. In a group. Because before we got into this game of the podcast space. I was in a band, a like a fair band, as I would call it, where we took classic rock songs and then we would, you know, reimagine them as if hillbillies, like mountain hillbillies. We're talking banjo, washboard, big old beards. Yeah, I was, I was big. I was in the band with my father in law, Bob, and it was like that's how we performed the songs. And so I was like, I had a personality. I was sloppy Joe. That was. That's what I went by. I wore like, you know,
Jason
I can't
Andy
think of long johns.
Mike
Okay.
Andy
And, and things for my costume. But we went to. There was the, the. The fair business guys. It's a big business.
Mike
Really.
Jason
We don't know that world.
Andy
And they.
Jason
Jason, don't know it.
Andy
They got conventions and everything. Okay, so pretty.
Jason
Wait, these are separate. These aren't fairs. You go to a convention.
Andy
Correct.
Jason
Affair.
Andy
Yeah. Like imagine a business.
Mike
Oh, for real?
Andy
Yeah. Where it's like you set up a booth and like you, you sell your wares of like, hey, are you a fair. Would you like us to come perform for you?
Mike
Does that mean, like, is Gravitron. Does Gravitron have a booth?
Andy
Well, that's rides. We're not. I was in the performer area.
Mike
I was not in the.
Andy
The ride. I was. I was the performer of music. So we're at that thing and for whatever reason they decide, hey, we're going to have the big opening, like, you know, main stage, where we're going to have really important fair people. I don't know. But. But you know what we got to do? We got. We got to sing the anthem.
Mike
Which.
Andy
Number one.
Jason
Yeah, weird. Number two for the convention.
Andy
Yeah, for the commit. Number two. This is a. Not just a. Not just a United States. This is a North America. So our friends from Canada are also involved.
Jason
So it's two separate anthems.
Andy
So there's two separate anthems.
Jason
So that's God Save the Queen, right? That's the name of the Canadian.
Andy
That would be the English O. Canada is how theirs starts. Are true in native land. So I mean, they're not even close. Andy. Canada and England.
Mike
Well, to be fair, the Queen. I think the Queen actually has. They swear fealty to the queen jurisdiction over.
Jason
Do they?
Andy
I thought it was all at the PM over there.
Mike
However.
Jason
However, God Save the Queen song
Mike
I do love though that you are talking about. This is not just the United States of America. This is North America. So obviously it's Canada and The US and completely with no Mexican anthem, right?
Andy
No, that's North America, too. Central America in North America.
Mike
Mexico's part of North America.
Jason
It is.
Andy
It is. Well, they were not representative.
Jason
I almost feel like you asking. That is the biggest insult here.
Andy
Well, I. I'm a stupid North. I'm stupid United States.
Jason
You're thinking Central America is its own thing.
Andy
I was. No, no, no, no, no, no. I started. I was going to say I'm a stupid American, and then I realized I shouldn't say it like that. And. What. Whatever. I look stupid. So, anyways, now we have been signed up for by the band leaders. Like, oh, hey, guys, this is a really great opportunity. We're gonna go acapella, sing the national Anthem. And we're like, ooh, okay, that like it. It. That's a tough song. So I like. I empathize with. Anytime I watch someone sing the anthem, I'm like, that song is tough.
Jason
Especially.
Andy
It's a tough song if you have no backing track. That's a tough song. And then he's like, oh, yeah. On top of that, we are also going to learn and sing the Canadian.
Jason
Oh, you had to sing that one, too.
Andy
Oh, yeah.
Mike
I believe you.
Andy
Canada, Our ruined native land True something love and above God save the Queen Yes. Yeah. God save the Queen. So we learned that the night before. So I have definitely a cappella, sang the national anthem with a group and the Canadian National Anthem in front of probably 500 people.
Mike
Wow.
Andy
I'm just like, what? What has my life become? We stand on God for thee Yep, that sounds right.
Jason
All right, so the rest of the question. You're forced to sing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl. Would you rather projectile vomit in the middle of it or forget the lyrics halfway through? I feel like the projectile vomiting isn't out. I think that's like.
Andy
Yeah, you can't forget the lyrics.
Jason
Everybody out there is going to be like, you know, if I had to throw up in the middle of it. Poor, poor person. Poor Andy.
Andy
It's a.
Jason
If you forget the lyrics, it's. What an idiot.
Andy
Yeah, man.
Mike
I kind of feel the opposite because. Do you remember the girl that was singing the national anthem? I think it was.
Andy
Yes, yes.
Mike
And he just helped her out. It was like this nice moment. You know, people forget lyrics if that's. Which one is more embarrassing? Because keep in mind, forgetting the lyrics really fight. So projectile vomiting in front of I
Andy
am an insane magnitude.
Jason
That's on you. The vomiting is not on you.
Mike
It could be.
Jason
I mean, it could end up on.
Andy
But here's the thing. If you forget the lyrics, not only have you butchered the national anthem, which we.
Jason
Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no.
Andy
Guys.
Jason
Oh, nice. Oh, no.
Andy
Yeah. No. Yes. Yes.
Jason
Oh, no.
Andy
Yes. Before every sporting event.
Jason
Here's my.
Andy
Why?
Jason
You want to know my policy? Why?
Andy
What are you doing?
Jason
Here's what I believe.
Andy
Play ball.
Jason
Here's what I believe. It will fix your problem at this convention right here, please. And I'm inventing it as I go. Here's the rule.
Andy
I have a very strong conviction about this.
Jason
If it's outdoors where a flag can fly in the wind, you sing it. If it's indoors, you don't need to sing it.
Mike
Because usually the flag is, like, on the video screen.
Jason
I don't need it on a screen. I don't need it sitting there without wind blowing. If it's out where the wind can blow it, I will pay homage and sing the song. But if it's indoors, can I ask.
Mike
More efficient? What about special occasion? It's the giant field size flag that everyone's waving.
Andy
Does that count?
Jason
Fake wind. You're talking about fake wind. Fake wind.
Mike
But it's a big waving flag.
Andy
It's a real flag.
Jason
If a flag bigger than the size of a tank is in the vicinity, you sing it.
Mike
All right. I agree. I get it.
Andy
We're all Americans here.
Jason
Maybe that's. This is Mike. Anti tradition. Mike. Every tradition doesn't suck, Mike.
Andy
But here's the thing.
Jason
Traditions are. If you don't do it, most of them do. Listen.
Mike
Most of them do. A lot of them do listen.
Jason
If you don't sing it, you'll never sing it. That's the thing. Sometimes you got to force it.
Andy
No, no, no, no. Olympics. We ride. We ride, baby.
Jason
And then.
Andy
Usa. Usa.
Mike
You don't know the lyrics. You're like. You're like, oh, America, that's our warmups.
Andy
So. So when the Olympics hit, like, we're all ready.
Mike
Yeah. I like the national anthem.
Jason
Yeah.
Andy
Here's the thing.
Jason
Something to bond us, Mike.
Andy
Yeah, but it. Have you ever been to a sporting event?
Mike
Many. Of course.
Andy
Right? You ever been to a sporting event involving, I don't know, the Arizona Cardinals and, let's just say, the Raiders?
Jason
Yeah.
Andy
Are we. Are we a united front? We are. How many fights do you see?
Jason
Many.
Andy
Yeah.
Jason
How many more would you see without the anthem? Is the real question. Oh, man. It's a lot more.
Andy
And listen, it could be half the stadium.
Jason
Listen. It does give you the occasional opportunity to hear somebody amazing sing It. They don't all suck. Sometimes you do get a really special most. I know, I know, I know. I'm sure yours did, but no, bro, bro.
Andy
I was on the bass, man.
Jason
Did you base the entire anthem? No. Lyrics?
Andy
No, he means I was. I was on the lower end of the. No, I wasn't on the bass guitar. I was on the bass. It's a. It's a musical group. There are. There are five singers. You have to have different parts and based off of the timbre of your voice. Yeah, that's what I did. Yeah, I scattered the whole time. I threw out a beding. The fair company was not having the bedinghy, though. Jenny from Twitter.
Jason
Would you rather have to eat an entire cup of chili every time you fart,
Andy
but then you just fart more
Jason
or drink 12 ounces of soda every time you burp, then you burp more? That's the joke. I mean, that's the question. An entire. An entire cup of chili, man. I. Dude, on a scale of one to a thousand, I love chili. How much do you love chili? I love one to a thousand.
Mike
One to a thousand. Five hundred.
Jason
I'm five hundred.
Mike
I am exactly neutral sometimes.
Andy
Hold on, I got some.
Jason
If it's a meat based chili, I might be 600.
Andy
Are we. Are we okay?
Mike
If there's no meat, it's not chili.
Andy
Well, yeah, of course.
Jason
No, not according to chili people.
Mike
That's beans.
Andy
Yeah. No, no, beans is the question. It's not meat. Meat is always in chili.
Jason
Is beans jamming so many beans in. But it's delicious. Stop jamming that many beans in.
Andy
I. Oh, man, I like the beans.
Jason
You're a big bean boy.
Andy
Oh, yeah.
Jason
You're a big bada dude.
Mike
Yeah. Beans are so good.
Jason
Are you a big bean boy?
Andy
Oh, no way.
Al Borland
Get that out of my chili meat.
Jason
Meat over beans?
Mike
You just want to see over beans.
Andy
Oh, man, I love.
Jason
Wait, I see Papa Josh shaking and say, you're a big bean boy.
Al Borland
Once again, Mike proves why he has the better.
Andy
Thank you, Josh.
Jason
You're a big bean boy.
Al Borland
Yeah.
Jason
You got to have beans and chili, man. Jason, are you a big bean?
Andy
I'm upgrading you from junior Josh.
Mike
I'm a pretty big bean boy. I think. Like, I don't want all beans in my chili.
Jason
Still rule, man.
Mike
Beans are great.
Andy
Beans are great.
Jason
But do they rule?
Andy
Yes, Jason.
Jason
You know, beans rule.
Mike
Beans rule.
Andy
Thank you, Jason.
Mike
Beans rule. Yes. Look, refried beans.
Andy
Beans are great. No, beans rule.
Mike
Chili beans are great.
Jason
Hey, bro, pass me the beans.
Mike
Black beans are Great.
Andy
Yeah. When I get chipotle bean guy.
Jason
Hey, Jeremy, you want to go get some meat instead of beans?
Al Borland
Heck, yeah.
Mike
Yeah, let's get some meat when I get chipotle. Now, this is a recent revelation in the last year. Okay, Extra beans I get.
Andy
I didn't say that.
Mike
I get pinto and black.
Andy
Oh, half and half or extra?
Mike
I get half and half.
Jason
Dude, that's a big bean boy.
Mike
I'm a big bean boy.
Jason
Big boy.
Mike
I'm a pretty big bean boy.
Jason
Dude, beans rule. How did you go 500 on chili if you're a big bean boy? That's a.
Andy
That's a great question. I put myself at about. I'll go 850.
Jason
You're an 850 because you're a bean boy.
Mike
Yeah. Either way, not all chili is good.
Andy
That's true.
Jason
It is a wide range.
Andy
You know why? And you know how I know that? Because they have chili offs. They have contests. Anytime you have a contest is, like, that means that there's bad ones.
Mike
Yeah.
Jason
So is there a point then, Mike, where you'd be like, man, this chili's okay, but you should have more beans?
Andy
Of course, the mixture, the percentage, it does matter.
Jason
You can't.
Andy
There should always be more meat than bean in a chili.
Jason
Okay, So, I mean, that's not a common opinion. Always meat is. Is very delicious.
Andy
But a.
Jason
If I have to eat a cup of chili every time I fart, dude, I'm a. I'm a dead man.
Mike
I'll.
Andy
I'll eat beanless chili.
Jason
I'm a dead man. 12 ounces of soda every time you burp. Now, the problem is a lot. If you eat 12. If you drink 12 ounces of soda, you will burp again.
Andy
It will be an infinite loop.
Jason
That is a loop.
Andy
Have you guys ever done the, like. I don't know if there's, like, an official challenge, but it's like, drink an entire can of soda before you let out a single belch, you idiots. What?
Mike
You guys speak?
Andy
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Mike
Yeah.
Andy
I just. He can't.
Mike
I can't.
Andy
He can't.
Mike
I can't burp.
Andy
That must be excruciating.
Mike
I don't know. It's just Life.
Andy
It's episode 357.
Jason
I want to make clear that people out there understand that the big bean boy over here has never burped in his life. He has a biological. Like, other people have different biological conditions. Maybe. Maybe Michael Phelps has an oversized heart so he can swim faster. Maybe. Yeah, Lance Armstrong. Whatever. He can.
Andy
He can he's got other things. He's a little lighter now, but he's.
Jason
But Jason's superpower somehow that his biologics prohibit burping.
Mike
I have burped. I could count on my hands. How many times. Yeah, like there's been a surprise.
Jason
You.
Mike
Oh, it's always. It can only be. I don't know how to burp.
Andy
I can't burp because your body just does it.
Mike
I could. You throat burp, bro. 2 liter of the most bubbly soda in the world.
Jason
You do throat burp?
Andy
No.
Mike
And I. I couldn't burp.
Andy
No. I don't. I don't believe you.
Jason
Maybe you burp all the time. You're sleeping.
Andy
But I hear you. But we hear you gurgle like a lion.
Mike
Yes.
Andy
It comes out. You burp while you're talking like a toad.
Mike
I, I. I get the. I get the. Throat burps is what I call them, but.
Andy
Because they're burps.
Mike
But they don't come out. They don't come out of my mouth.
Andy
Yes, they. Where do they come out?
Mike
Well, I'm saying they don't belch. They don't. There is no belch.
Jason
This is a little bit of an identity thing now. Like, if you started burping tomorrow, you'd be fine.
Andy
An SPD is not a fart.
Mike
I would not. Andy. I would love if I could burp tomorrow. You're saying if I had a genie, that might be one of my three.
Jason
Can I send you to burp camp?
Mike
Yeah.
Andy
I can't believe.
Jason
Let's send him to burp camp.
Andy
So wild.
Jason
So what's your final answer?
Mike
Well, I'm going to take soda because that means I don't ever have to do anything.
Andy
We.
Jason
I can't do that one. I got to do the chili. I feel like I can hold in my farts. I can't hold in.
Andy
We got.
Mike
How much chili. I'd eat if I took chili.
Andy
Chili's so good.
Mike
Chili. Yeah, but we got a fart.
Andy
We got to sit you down with a can of soda and have you just chug the whole thing.
Mike
Yes.
Jason
Not just any soda. BMW root beer.
Andy
Because here's, like, legitimately, if you've never done it and you're just a regular, normal person who can burp, if you have never drank a whole can of soda, forcing it down, not allowing yourself to burp, you get to the end. It is excruciatingly painful.
Jason
A and W in particular is like, twice the burps of a normal soda.
Andy
I don't know, I don't. I don't. Root beer.
Jason
Give it a ride.
Mike
You're just talking about a can.
Andy
Well, you know, it's just a good measure.
Jason
Get us out. Get us a can of A and
Mike
w. Get me a can of anything you want while I've done it. And obviously I won't burp because I know I can't burp.
Jason
Not like. Or you guys, I know you're not an on demand vending machine.
Andy
I'm getting nothing, so I'm going to do. Sirs. Have you guys ever done the thing where you drink a whole can? You're like, I'm going to. I'm going to drink this whole thing before I burp.
Jason
No, we've never done that. We're not.
Andy
You didn't do that in elementary school?
Jason
No.
Andy
God, you guys hang out with nerds.
Jason
We have vanilla Coke Zero right now. We don't have.
Al Borland
There's a.
Andy
Give it a look. Coke Zero.
Jason
It's probably something Falcon or.
Andy
Oh, brother.
Mike
I saw his grandma a real. On Instagram talking about my condition. I forget what it's called, but there's a medical condition for people who can't burp. Like, they just physically can't.
Jason
Yeah, you're a burpless.
Mike
And part of that. Part of the symptoms for that was that they have more gas.
Andy
Flatulence, retrograde cricopharyogenous dysfunction.
Mike
I mean, they had a way cooler name for it. It was just pretty normal sound.
Jason
Hyper Fart syndrome.
Andy
I'm just telling you that's from Yale, but apparently the. That's not a.
Mike
The cure for it is an injection.
Andy
RCPD of both sound like you're. Wait, RCPD is the. Is. That's who they work for in Resident Evil. Thank you, Josh. The video game guy gets it.
Jason
But there's.
Mike
There's an injection somewhere in your chest you.
Jason
That will get. Let you burp.
Mike
That will let you.
Jason
It's a burp.
Mike
They basically take Botox into some spot in your chest.
Andy
Botox?
Mike
Yeah. And it basically paralyzes something in there that then allows.
Andy
You sound like a tracheotomy.
Mike
No. So I don't know. Maybe I should get that.
Jason
What if he's got burps in there from his childhood? What if they've been stored like fossils?
Andy
Like he has, like, fossilized burps.
Mike
How stinky would those burps be at this point, bro?
Andy
You would be able to.
Jason
It'd be like the hot dog you ate in third grade.
Andy
A hot dog that would. You could take out a city.
Jason
Would you believe that we've been talking about such important things that we have to take a break?

cryosopharyngeus muscle known as the burp talks.
Andy
You're telling me you haven't gotten this
Mike
procedure are the primary treatment for retrograde sugar dysfunction.
Jason
Are you gonna do it?
Mike
I don't think I'll do it, but I mean that it's.
Jason
Maybe I will.
Mike
If a doctor out there that genuinely deals in this right now is listening. And you want to reach out to me and teach me more about this because I.
Jason
Is this dangerous, though, for you to fart as much as you do? Is that a dangerous thing?
Mike
Definitely. Have it. Like I can't burp. I don't burp. Nothing will ever make me burp.
Jason
Does your wife pay the price?
Mike
No.
Jason
If everything that should go up goes down.
Mike
Oh, it all comes out. Everyone has a stinky fart here and there. Most of my farts don't stink for
Andy
the amount of times I'm most of mine.
Jason
For a man who farts 500 times a day. Yeah, that's not bad. Al, should we move on to man of the People?
Al Borland
Let's do it.
Mike
What time is it? Game time. Yeah.
Andy
All right.
Jason
We are back into another edition of man of the People. I claim that I hate this game, but apparently I've won it twice in a row, so.
Andy
Seems impossible because you're a man of the people.
Jason
The pressure is off. Now a reminder. Everyone out there can play with us. We've surveyed everybody in the world and Al Borland has the answers for us. If you get the first answer, the highest answer on the board. We invented this game, obviously. Three points for that, two points for the second best answer, and one point for any correct answer. That is in the survey results. 7th round is double points. Al Borland begins now.
Al Borland
That is correct. And this time we're doing it a little different. We usually have the top five answers on the board. This time, the top six. Seven answers are on the.
Jason
Boo.
Mike
Boo. Oh,
Andy
wait, you have a little. We've been bad.
Al Borland
No, it's just.
Mike
Just something you usually can't get the top five.
Al Borland
Just mixing it up.
Andy
It's not you, it's me.
Jason
Just it.
Andy
Just to be fair.
Mike
To be fair to us, which is usually how I operate. Sure. I think he asks very stupid people these questions occasionally.
Andy
He does?
Mike
Yeah. Because the answers are dumb.
Jason
All right, go on.
Al Borland
All right, here's round one. Real or fictional? Name a famous man with long hair.
Jason
Oh, crap. Famous man with long hair. Gandalf.

Jason
Yeah, I hit my button.

Jason

Jason's the winner. Jason found your secret man. You had to.
Jason
You need to be inflated.
Mike
Yeah, I need to not give two farts about this game.
Jason
Do you feel you gave two farts?
Andy
Do you feel like the grandpa in. Yeah, actually, like, identically. Do you feel like the grandpa in Willy Wonka?
Mike
Yeah. Like decrepit and wanting death.
Andy
No, no. Where you're just, like, floating around. You're going to die if you don't burp, you don't remember that story.
Mike
I feel like I'm already dead.
Jason
We'll think about it over the break.

Jason
What's up Spitwads? Well, this is, this is something I can speak from experience on. You want to eat better. We all want to do that. We feel like we have zero time and energy to make it happen. Sometimes you even try to eat better and you realize you just can't. You can't even order something that is actually healthy for you with all the different restaurants out there. Look, I was in that boat. I went to Factor, checked it out. We love the Factor meals. In the beginning, when we got the Factor meals delivered, my son was stealing all of them. Now I'm ordering enough to where I can kind of steal some and hide them from him because they are so delicious. They don't ask you to meal prep, right? They don't ask you to follow recipes. It removes the entire problem. It's two minutes. It's real food and it's done. And I can tell you I have tried probably 20 to 25 of the different recipes. There has not been one that I wasn't happy with. Genuinely, you're not failing out there at healthy eating. You're failing at having three extra hours a night to meal prep. And chef made meals so delicious. What? I just had like a burger with some gouda cheese last night. It was unbelievable. Head to FactorMeals.com Ballers 50 off and use the code Ballers50OFF to get 50% off your first Factor box. Plus free breakfast for one year offer only valid for new Factor customers with code and qualifying auto renewing subscription purchase. Make healthier eating easy with Factor. I have been informed we have another soda if you need it.

Andy
I
Mike
wish I was playing along Right.
Jason
The authentic Mike, you got the first pick.
Andy
Oh, yes.
Jason
So let's take our time.
Andy
Of course. Foods you can't have just.
Jason
Are we running out for insulin right now? Jason is down. He's down like. He's down like a. Like a sedative.
Mike
Don't hit him down.
Jason
A tranq dart just hit the elephant.
Andy
My entire point was don't do this.
Jason
That's fair.
Mike
But you made me do it.
Andy
I didn't make you do nothing.
Jason
There's got to be a point where you burp or die.
Mike
I don't think so. I think. I genuinely believe that my body would die.
Jason
What if you hung upside down? Maybe it would help.
Mike
I don't know. I've never tried that.
Jason
Mike, first pick foods. You can't have just one of those.
Andy
We're going to go with. It certainly helps when a food is already pluralized.
Jason
Okay, I get what you're saying.
Andy
I will take French fries.
Mike
Yes. That's one of the.
Andy
That was one of your two. Absolutely. Okay, who's a French fry?
Jason
One French fry.
Andy
Also a waffle fry.
Jason
Maybe you could get away with one.
Andy
Imagine eating one French fry at a time when you have so many. No, that's. I will never. I would never eat a.
Jason
Would you. Would you rather have no French fries available to you or only when you have French fries? You can only have one.
Mike
I have no.
Andy
I will take none.
Jason
Yeah, I feel like. Jason, you're up.
Mike
I have no out here, guys.
Jason
No, because you can't burp.
Mike
I just like, how much time before.
Andy
Do I just go, man, we'll speed it up.
Jason
Make a pick. It's quicker to.
Mike
But that's the thing is, like, speed it up.
Jason
Go to the bathroom.
Mike
Well, I'm not gonna do anything in the bathroom.
Jason
Yeah, you sit there and fart.
Mike
I'm going to take.
Andy
I can punch you in the tummy. Yeah, you might vomit.
Mike
I'm going to take potato chips.
Andy
Yeah, that's a good one.
Mike
I mean, there was literally a campaign from Lays. You can't have just one. And then Pringles was like, once you pop.
Jason
Can I take. Can I take Pringles?
Mike
Sure. Are Pringles a potato?
Andy
No, no, no. He would. He took potato chips.
Mike
I didn't take lay's potato chips.
Jason
I think you hurt your argument by not taking one of the Civic brands.
Mike
I think I made it better because I took both.
Andy
I will say, in Andy's defense, I believe Pringles have been classified as not potato. No potato in it, because they are like potato crisps well, look, I. But I still. I'm not going to allow it.
Jason
I knew I have the third pick, and it's a bit of a sleeper pick here. And I don't think Jason is just. If you just kept the camera.
Andy
The buttons coming down.
Jason
You just kept the camera on him. He is inflating like a balloon violin.
Andy
You're turning violence.
Jason
What's the Disney movie with the guy, the big inflated white creature?
Andy
Baymax. Big Hero 6.
Jason
Big Hero 6 going on right here. He's rubbing himself like a pregnant woman.
Andy
Do you need care? Yes, he does.
Jason
So I think the actual hardest thing to only eat one of is if you go to a Mexican restaurant and they serve you tortilla chips.
Andy
Okay. I don't think I'll take tortilla. That's separate.
Jason
Right. Tortilla chips is my first pick.
Andy
Those are not made out of potatoes.
Jason
I don't think you can just eat one. It's impossible. The salt is on them. You got the salsa.
Andy
The incredible world we live in of a tortilla chip is in actual. It's a tortilla.
Jason
Yeah.
Andy
That has been deep fried.
Jason
And we're fine with it.
Andy
And cut into four pieces.
Jason
Fine with it.
Andy
But you're like, whoa, I'm gonna get a burrito bowl. I'm trying. I'm watching my carbs. Like, would you like chips and queso?
Jason
Don't. Jason might be passing. This may be the end. He looks like somebody who is finished.
Mike
Just tell me when it's my turn.
Jason
All right, my next pick is going to actually be M and M's.
Andy
Oh, it's on my list.
Jason
It's pluralized.
Andy
Yeah, it's on my list.
Jason
I'm just having an M. I'm not
Andy
even having the other M. Oh, there's an and.
Jason
I mean, there's an and built into the name M. Who's had one? Who's ever had one?
Andy
Well, regular M and M's are not greats, so.
Jason
No, they're good. They're better than you think they are.
Andy
They're fine. I mean, peanut M and Ms, those rule.
Jason
Peanut.
Andy
MM peanuts, peanut butter M and M's.
Jason
And get. I get them all because I drafted M and M's.
Mike
Peanut butter M. M's are the best.
Andy
Yes. I. Yeah, we're. We're in a full agreement.
Jason
Are you dying?
Mike
My stomach is going to explode.
Jason
You look at.
Andy
You look 30 pounds heavier, like you
Jason
gained 30 pounds of root beer.
Mike
How can I get it out?
Andy
You got a burp, brother.
Jason
Let's go, Jay. Let's go. Let's get your first one.
Andy
Get your out of the way. It's there. Here's your problem.
Jason
This is like me trying to roll my Rs. I can't do it.
Andy
It's not in the shape of your mouth. It's in the throat. It's in the flange. It's in the go.
Jason
Like tighten up a little bit. Like.
Andy
No. How do you even explain how to do that?
Jason
I don't know, man.
Andy
You're just born.
Jason
What happened when you were a baby
Andy
born to run when your parents were
Jason
patting you on the back? Did you fart?
Mike
Yeah.
Jason
Okay. Jason, you have potato chips. I have tortilla chips and M&Ms. Mike with French fries. Jason, your second pick.
Mike
I'm gonna take a Cheez It.
Andy
Oh, it's on my list because it's not Cheez it. It's Cheez its.
Jason
This man is talking like his final moments of the earth. He is talking like a. Like you're in hospice.
Mike
I am in hospice.
Jason
I mean, he. Is it the sugar as much as it is the inflation? No, it's just.
Andy
No, it's the air. It's the cms.
Jason
Is your day over?
Mike
I have nothing more to do today.
Jason
Okay, Mike, two picks.
Andy
All right.
Mike
Oh, I. Yep.
Jason
You drafted already?
Andy
You're not up yet.
Al Borland
Yeah.
Andy
You're good. So I'm going to start it off with a mozzarella stick.
Jason
Okay. Because I can actually eat just one
Mike
of those mozzarella stick and be done.
Andy
Yeah. What?
Jason
You can't. But I can't. Yeah. Bad pick. According to Jason. Fat.
Andy
That's my number two pick. How you doing?
Mike
I'm doing great.
Jason
I wish we had an eternal zoom. I wish the rest of this episode could be a zoom camera on Jason.
Mike
I mean, that.
Andy
That's. That's crazy pants. To Betamax, mozzarella sticks are. Oh, my gosh.
Jason
I mean, you are on the. You're on the bridge between Betamax and Kirby right now. Do you just.
Mike
You just.
Jason
You have. You're on the edge of Kirby.
Mike
I ate Kirby.
Jason
And beyond. Beyond Kirby. You go to like Macy's Day beyond Kirby's Macy's Day parade float.
Mike
I mean, Kirby7 who.
Jason
Oh, no.
Mike
Ate too much spaghetti. That's what's happening.
Andy
It didn't end well for that guy.
Jason
Thin Wayfair.
Mike
Thin Wayfair going to explode.
Jason
You are gaining inflationary.
Mike
My stomach is so tight right now. If you had a needle.
Andy
Have you ever seen when they do that to cows?
Mike
Oh, yeah. They have to do that.
Andy
Yeah, they have to like Degas cows because they're laying on their side.
Jason
They're like,
Mike
someone coming Degass me.
Andy
And then you just go, pull, fix
Mike
and go, someone Degassed me.
Andy
And then that. That cow is okay. Oh, my gosh.
Mike
Someone.
Jason
One more pick for Mike.
Andy
I'm gonna go with deviled eggs. Oh, speaking of inflated, I think I
Jason
can have just one of those.
Andy
But that is not a bad pick.
Jason
That is not bad.
Andy
I think me personally, I know Jason Moore can't have one.
Mike
I'm usually more than one. But you. But it's also one of those weird things where it's like you, you know, I want a ton of french fries. I want a ton of potato chips. I want. I don't want a ton of double.
Andy
No, but you have at least two. Sure.
Jason
You end up like this. Jason is dead. And this ain't an act.
Andy
No.
Jason
I mean this show is just when
Mike
the cameras turn off, I'm going to lay on the ground for a long time. Is it my pick?
Andy
Yeah.
Mike
I'm going to select thin crust pizza. Okay. Especially Domino's.
Andy
Okay. Yeah. That's a cheat code.
Mike
The Domino's.
Andy
When you cut. When you cut the pizza into the squares and it's not the proper. It's a little pizza triangle.
Jason
I had slice of pizza on there because I can't imagine outside of being a four year old having one slice of pizza.
Andy
I can eat a slice, but if it's as long as it's real slice.
Jason
As long as it comes with another slice.
Andy
No, but thin crust is. Because a thin crust is like this big.
Jason
Get this, man. A wheelchair.
Mike
Don't need a wheelchair. I need.
Andy
Call 91 1.
Mike
I need a cow syringe.
Jason
I got my final two picks. Is that where we're at? I'm going to go wings. I'm going to go wings. I don't understand having one wing.
Andy
It's on my list.
Jason
It doesn't make sense.
Andy
It's on my list.
Jason
If you're going to have a wing, you're going to have a couple of wings.
Andy
It's on my list. That's crazy.
Jason
So I'm going to have wings and then I'm going to go cookies. What are we doing? What are we doing?
Mike
Cookie. Cookies.
Andy
I can eat a cookie.
Jason
I mean, I feel like cookies.
Andy
I can eat a cookie.
Jason
I do realize and I recognize and I acknowledge that some people make giant cookies. And if you're going to start counting the crumbles of the world that are just, oh, no, we're living on the edge of a cookie category, no one eats a crumble. Crumble. But if you're talking about Oreos, if you're talking about Chips Ahoy, if you're talking about girl scout cookies.
Andy
Yeah. Okay.
Jason
That's very hard, I think, to stop at just one. So I'm going to go cookies. Jason is looking at the clock. I'm going to draft insulin.
Mike
Is it me?
Andy
Yeah, it's you. Oh, your hat's looking real cool. Look at this guy. Hello, fellow young kids.
Al Borland
Well, dang.
Mike
I'm going to take a piece of
Jason
popcorn
Andy
that feels like a cheat code,
Jason
but you 100% it is a cheat code and it's a great pick.
Mike
I mean, no one has.
Jason
It's a sneaky pick.
Andy
Eating a singular popcorn.
Jason
Yeah, that's a sneaky. That's a sneaky good pick because I don't see any way to disqualify it.
Mike
You can't just eat a piece of popcorn. That's like, I don't even want one bite.
Jason
That's like saying a bag of, like, pistachios or.
Andy
Which is my final pick is pistachios?
Jason
Oh, of course it is. So you're going to your own.
Andy
Yeah. In this office, pistachios are very special and sacred items.
Mike
Is that the last pick?
Al Borland
It is.
Mike
I know what I learned today.
Andy
What did we learn today?
Mike
I learned that if you can't burp, you should not immediately down 20 ounces.
Jason
20 ounces. A&W rubier on the air. An amazing job by the Falcon. Honestly, I. I can't believe he did that.
Al Borland
To make up for not setting up the studio.
Jason
Well, that is down the street and got it.
Mike
That is his final.
Andy
I like, I'm going to imagine he had already. He, like, he just left. I mean, he was picking something up. He's like, oh, sure, I'll get those root years.
Jason
I learned that Jason ain't lying about this burping thing.
Mike
No, I can't burp. I will not burp. If I could, but if I could burp to relieve this, I would burp a billion.
Andy
I learned that Josh may not be just the junior producer. Oh, he might be the junior executive producer.
Jason
Okay, take care, everybody. Pray for Jason.
Andy
Thanks for listening to this podcast to
Mike

Burp Challenge Gone WRONG & Food You Can’t Just Have One Of
Release Date: February 23, 2026
Hosts: Andy, Mike, Jason, and Al Borland (Producer)
This energetic episode of the two-time Comedy Podcast of the Year delivers the Spitballers’ signature blend of goofball banter and absurd deep-dives with one particularly memorable twist: the infamous “Burp Challenge” debacle. Andy, Mike, and Jason banter through life’s greatest, weirdest food temptations, all while battling through bodily discomfort, questionable science, and impromptu live experiments. Plus, fan-favorite games “Would You Rather” and “Man of the People” bring chaotic audience energy and wild survey results.
Jason, exasperated:
“My number one pet peeve with my wife…she finds no purpose in the existence of an ice cream scoop.” [05:31]
Mike counters, deadpan:
“That’s the real demon.” [07:43]
Prompt: Eat a cup of chili every time you fart, or drink 12oz of soda every time you burp?
Mike drinks the whole soda, endures intense discomfort, but STILL cannot burp – only increased flatulence, to the delight and disgust of everyone in the room.
“I am sweating. I am hurting, guys. …If I could burp, I would burp. I feel like a one out of ten.” – Mike [36:01]
“Have you ever seen when they do that to cows? They have to degas cows. …Someone come degas me.” – Mike [55:00]
On ice cream etiquette:
“She’ll bend a spoon in half. You make an ice cream scoop for a reason!” – Jason [07:30]
On Mike’s physiological anomaly:
“I can’t believe… Let’s send him to burp camp.” – Andy [23:23]
After Mike chugs the root beer:
“I feel like I want to go to bed and not wake up.” – Mike [38:25]
“You look 30 pounds heavier, like you gained 30 pounds of root beer.” – Andy [52:29]
On foods you can’t have just one of:
“Would you rather have no French fries available, or only one French fry at a time forever?” – Jason [49:28]
The show’s language and tone are pure Spitballers: self-deprecating dad humor, fast-paced riffing, friendly trash talk, and running bits that build episode-to-episode. The episode is especially physical—Mike’s non-burping predicament is both genuinely fascinating and completely hilarious, driving much of the episode’s laughter and sympathy. There’s a true sense of camaraderie, absurdity, and real friendship, with all absurd topics handled with family-friendly goofiness and a willingness to get a little silly and a lot vulnerable.
Final Message:
If you want a laugh-out-loud journey into food cravings, bodily malfunctions, and the deep philosophy of utensils—with a host nearly exploding from root beer and pride—this episode is one for the ages.
Best enjoyed with a can of A&W…and a safe distance from your nearest “big bean boy.”
