Episode Overview

This episode of the Spitballers Comedy Podcast is a high-energy, laugh-filled dive into nostalgic childhood debates, "decisions of extreme importance", and humorous drafts. The central theme is a playful argument about the best way to eat cupcakes (the "Cupcake Conflict") and an imaginative draft of the coolest things to have in a treehouse. Along the way, Andy, Mike, and Jason riff on everyday annoyances, parenting quirks, life hacks, and plenty of absurd hypotheticals, keeping the banter quick and witty.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Opening Banter: Treehouse Debate & 2x4 Jokes

• The trio opens with a light, escalating argument on whether kids actually build treehouses or if that’s always a “dad job."
• Jason asserts, “Kids do build tree houses!” (03:17) and faces immediate skepticism and mockery.
• There's a running gag about "2 by floors" stemming from 2x4s, which breaks down into a dad-joke spiral:
  • Andy: "That’s why you call them two by floors." (03:44)
  • Mike: "Come on." (03:59)
• Childhood fort-building stories surface, including makeshift "desert caves" in Arizona and classic Pennsylvania tree forts.

2. Would You Rather: Irritating Life Decisions

• Shoelaces vs. Tires: Would you rather your shoelaces become untied every 15 minutes or have to refill all four car tires with air every week?

  • Tire maintenance is universally despised:
    • Jason: "Why is filling your car tire so annoying?" (05:45)
    • Andy lobbies for Discount Tire’s free fills: "You roll down your window and they’re...they fill them up for free, you drive away, you barely talk to anyone. It is a delight." (09:57)
    • Mike admits, “I have rolled up to discount tire multiple times in my life. And I get there and they’re like, you drove on these tires?” (10:09)
  • Collective agreement: Tires may be annoying, but untied shoelaces every 15 min is worse.

• Garage Door Dilemma:

  • Would you rather have a garage door that takes a full minute to open (but is silent), or opens in five seconds (but sounds like a metal monster being murdered)?
  • Jason votes for silence and patience: "The garage door taking a minute...That's a long time." (16:08)
  • Andy says he’d take loud and fast: "If I could make it louder and quicker, I would..." (17:13)
  • Nostalgic moment: childhood memories of hanging onto garage doors for a ride up (17:40).

• Gross Ketchup or Slow Microwave:

  • Would you rather your first squirt of ketchup is always watery or your microwave is always 3x slower?
  • Andy details advanced solutions (sauce ramekins, of course).
  • Extended tangent explodes on whether it’s called a “ramekin” or a “sauce dish”:
    • Andy: "If I say, bring me out the ramekin, she brings me out the ramekin." (21:49)
  • Ultimately, they choose to avoid slow microwaves and find convoluted ways around ketchup water.

---

3. Decisions of Extreme Importance

• Cupcake Eating Method ("Cupcake Conflict," 28:09):

  • Is the best way to eat a cupcake to tear off the bottom and make a frosting sandwich?
  • Jason: "The better thing is to tear off the bottom and not eat it at all and just eat the top." (28:43)
  • Mike: "Without it, you’re just chewing frosting. No, no. You're just chewing frosting. It's too much sugar." (30:05)
  • The group invents (half-seriously) "shallow cupcakes" or cupcakes injected with frosting: "Frosting should be throughout. Eternal." (41:42)
  • Full agreement that overall, cupcakes are “mid”: "Cupcakes are…meh." (34:17)

• Hoodie Protocol:

  • Should both hands go through the sleeves before the head goes through?
  • Unanimous agreement: "That is the right way." (35:41)

• Corn on the Cob:

  • Proper way to eat: straight rows (typewriter style) or rotating?
  • Andy: “I’m going columns… I start on the left and I eat around.” (36:49)
  • Banter devolves into semi-serious existential talk about whether corn is better off the cob (it's not).

• Gift-Opening Etiquette:

  • Presents: one at a time so everyone can watch, or all at once?
  • "Yes, because we're parents." (41:32)
  • Mike confesses his house is "free-for-all" land.

• Shower Timing:

  • Should showers happen in the morning or at night?
  • Group shifts toward night showers for adult comfort, but recognizes morning logic.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On the state of tire tech:

  • Jason: “Why can't the car just fill them? ...The valve itself could be powered and then that could suck in outside air and put it in the tire.” (08:23)

• Cupcake Proportions Epiphany:

  • Andy: "If you were to make a cupcake tray with half of the stem...Dude, we've got a business." (29:20)

• Corn Handle Innovation:

  • Mike: "What if it were giant Harley handlebars and you had to hold it up here?" (40:25)

• Weaponizing the Treehouse:

  • Andy (on drafting a slingshot): "I'm up there. You don’t know where it’s coming from." (58:43)
  • Mike: "You ruined my last pick! ...You need the water balloon sling. This thing could cover 100ft easily." (58:57)

[Andy]

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. Okay, I can respect it. I can respect it.

[Jason]

That works. I mean, it's episode 363 that works.

[Mike]

It is what it is, man.

[Jason]

Welcome into the Spitballers. Would you rather on today's episode, decisions of extreme importance? Obviously, we don't.

[Andy]

Pretty important.

[Jason]

We don't deal with, like, needless minutia. Minutiae.

[Andy]

Which ketchup should I get? Shut up.

[Jason]

We're dealing with extremely important situations.

[Mike]

Yeah, the answer is the whataburger. Fancy ketchup, but yeah.

[Andy]

Or the spicy.

[Mike]

Or spicy. Yeah, of course.

[Jason]

And today we're drafting things that you would want in your very own treehouse because. Well, I never had treehouse because we never had trees.

[Mike]

Do they do like. Does. Are we still doing tree houses?

[Jason]

I think so, yeah. Yeah. Treehouses are.

[Andy]

I don't think they're as common. I don't think they're as common as they used to be in the 1960s, when people had work ethic and time.

[Jason]

Oh, you think they're correlated to not being on your phones?

[Mike]

That's. Hey, number one.

[Jason]

I'm so bored. I'll build a house in a tree.

[Mike]

Yeah, well, I mean, in that I feel like you're saying it's up to the kid.

[Jason]

Yeah, it is up to the kid. They're built by kids.

[Andy]

The kid.

[Mike]

No, the kid does not build.

[Andy]

The kid does not build the tree house.

[Jason]

Depends on what.

[Mike]

Build the treehouse.

[Jason]

Kids do build tree houses.

[Andy]

I don't think. I don't believe you.

[Mike]

No, the good. So that was the question.

[Andy]

It would fall down, treehouse be destroyed.

[Jason]

I show up and the kid.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Mike]

I show up at your house. Unlimited two by fours. Can you build a tree house?

[Jason]

Unlimited two by fours. Yeah, I'll get there. Yeah, unlimited. I can hit. I can hit enough nails to hold that thing up.

[Mike]

Are you gonna have enough scrap saying

[Andy]

that the floor would be made of two by fours?

[Jason]

Well, not only two by floors.

[Andy]

Oh, okay.

[Mike]

What else?

[Jason]

Wait, that's why you call them two by floors.

[Andy]

Oh, my.

[Mike]

That's why they call it that.

[Andy]

Oh, come on.

[Jason]

Come on.

[Mike]

I thought you were gonna hit applause, because I like.

[Andy]

That was awful.

[Jason]

Mike was in on that.

[Andy]

Oh, gross. Two by four.

[Mike]

What do you think the floor is? It's not a tree.

[Jason]

I had enough. Two by four.

[Andy]

Frame of the floor might be two by fours. But you're not walking across two by fours.

[Mike]

What are you walking across?

[Andy]

Plywood.

[Jason]

Yeah, he's got you there. I mean, like. Oh, no.

[Mike]

You don't put plywood down in a treehouse. No, you don't. It's beams. Only you beams.

[Andy]

So you're. You're saying they're building a deck up in the tree house?

[Mike]

Yes.

[Andy]

No, they're not.

[Mike]

Yes, they are. How many.

[Andy]

How many tree houses have you built? Genuine question zero. Yeah. Okay. How many of you know. More questions at this time.

[Mike]

I know you want to talk about hidden desert brush.

[Jason]

Like holes in the ground that, like, build out here.

[Mike]

I don't even know.

[Andy]

Hole.

[Mike]

I don't know what we call it.

[Andy]

Cave.

[Mike]

Sure.

[Andy]

Like a desert cave.

[Mike]

A cardboard cave. Yeah, it's made of.

[Jason]

Papa Josh, you grew up not in Arizona, did you?

[Andy]

And you grew up in the 60s?

[Jason]

No, but we had forts. Yeah, forts.

[Andy]

That's what we did.

[Jason]

They weren't in the trees.

[Mike]

No.

[Andy]

They were called ground tree houses.

[Mike]

Josh. Papa Josh your grow up. Oh, your grow up was Pennsylvania.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Mike]

They got trees.

[Jason]

Yeah. I just never had an actual tree house. Why lift it off the ground.

[Andy]

Not enough two by fours.

[Jason]

But we'll get into that shortly. Let's do some. Would you ra.

[Andy]

Would you rather.

[Jason]

Would you rather your shoelaces become untied every 15 minutes or. All four car tires need to be topped off with air every week?

[Andy]

So the hardest.

[Mike]

Oh, man.

[Jason]

Why is filling your car tire so annoying? Why can't we get to the point? What do you mean?

[Andy]

It used to be I used to

[Jason]

have to do what people do this for you now.

[Andy]

Discount tire.

[Mike]

Hashtag. Hashtag. Not a sponsor.

[Andy]

Hashtag. Would love to be a sponsor.

[Jason]

That's not convenient to have to drive to another establishment.

[Andy]

I would if. Oh, I agree. But it's way better if I could you do like sometimes I have a little electric pump air filler upper thing that you can plug into your car.

[Jason]

Can't do any hard work, can you?

[Andy]

And at home. At home I have this and.

[Jason]

Oh, I own it.

[Mike]

I got a question for you.

[Jason]

Hard work is not buying something.

[Mike]

You're the. The attachment piece that goes onto the tire.

[Andy]

Right? Right.

[Mike]

Is this a clamp or is this a screw?

[Jason]

Most of them are going to be clamp.

[Andy]

Yeah. You push it on and then you put.

[Jason]

Most of them are that little. A thumb button that you push down for a sec. Put it on and let go of the thumb button.

[Andy]

Mine is more like the bicycle. Mine is more like the bicycle where I push the thing on and then

[Mike]

you close the flap.

[Andy]

Close the flap.

[Mike]

Right. My original though was it was a screw.

[Andy]

That seems better.

[Jason]

No, it takes a long time to screw it up. No.

[Mike]

Also, once you've done all four tires, I guarantee the knuckle of your index finger is destroyed.

[Andy]

I would never do all four tires. My point is that if I do have the ability to do it at home.

[Mike]

Which are the most important tires?

[Jason]

Jay cannot wait to eat you during an apocalypse. You are going to be useless.

[Mike]

What is this face contraption, Andy?

[Jason]

No, just the look at the end of it. It's a pin.

[Mike]

I know. I've never seen this.

[Jason]

So my truck has a built in air compressor. It's still annoying to hook up the hose and fill up the tires. I'm just saying

[Mike]

I've never seen this clamp. I've only seen the bike tire where you push it on. Close the flap.

[Andy]

I did.

[Mike]

It was the bike tire one.

[Jason]

We can tell the tire pressure of all of our tires. Right. We can sense it. You get the message inside your car. Low tire pressure. Right. Why can't we just fill it?

[Mike]

We can sense it when it tells me exactly what the problem is.

[Andy]

Like, I feel a tingling on the back of my neck and I'm like, let me touch my menus and see what they are.

[Jason]

I just want.

[Andy]

Why can't we can all sense it?

[Jason]

Why can't the car freaking just fill them?

[Andy]

I would agree with that. Like, why. Why is it built in?

[Jason]

Yeah, the little. What do you call the nipple? What do you call the thing? Is it the nipple?

[Mike]

You had a word for it.

[Andy]

The valve.

[Jason]

Thank you.

[Mike]

No, not the valve. What do we call the cap? What do you call the cap?

[Andy]

What do you call the cap?

[Mike]

No, he had a funny word for it.

[Jason]

I did.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Andy]

I don't remember saying that.

[Mike]

You talked about as a teenager with the tiny little caps that are on.

[Jason]

Oh, a chromie.

[Mike]

A chromie. Thank you. That's a funny word.

[Jason]

The valve itself could be powered and then that could suck in outside air and put it in the tire and your tire could stay inflated all the time. This is not hard to do.

[Mike]

I think it is.

[Andy]

You want to know what else is

[Mike]

not hard to do?

[Andy]

To just drive up to a discount tire. Are you kidding? I'm not. I'm not. I would love.

[Jason]

You never want to deal with people

[Mike]

you don't have to deal with.

[Andy]

Listen, I'm not getting stuff I'm about to Discount tire. Best advertisement of all time. For free. Because they're not a sponsor. Please be a sponsor. You owe us after this. You can go if you're not. I don't know if discount is nationwide or not, but they're in Arizona, all over the place. If you go to a discount anytime during their waking hours and you drive up, there is a free air check fill station. You drive, you get in line if there's a line. Sometimes there's no line, sometimes there's no line, and then you barely talk to a human. You roll down your window and they're

[Jason]

like, you know, they're checking your tire to see if you need a new tire. You know that, right?

[Mike]

That's great. I have no idea when.

[Andy]

I have never.

[Jason]

Which is why you're in trouble.

[Andy]

Never once in my life. And trust me, I've done this. Like, I fill up my tires at discount.

[Mike]

That's all.

[Jason]

You don't.

[Andy]

Well, they do. But I have never once been pitched a new tire or told I need new tires, ever. Doing it.

[Jason]

Probably because you've always bought them.

[Andy]

So recently, you go there, they fill them up for free, you drive away, you barely talk to anyone. It is a delight so you want

[Jason]

to go there and enjoy that? I don't want my shoelaces untied either, but that's the one I'm going to go with.

[Mike]

I have rolled up to discount tire multiple times in my life. And I get there and they're like, you drove on these tires.

[Jason]

Oh, really?

[Mike]

Oh, yeah.

[Jason]

And then they follow it up with, would you like four new ones?

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah. And then I'm like, sick.

[Andy]

I made it.

[Mike]

Put four new tires on here. There you go.

[Andy]

Oh, really?

[Mike]

Because here's. Yeah, because here's the thing that's called

[Jason]

a drive up salesman.

[Mike]

No, guys. No, no, no, no, no. Do you know why I drove there? Because my tire had no air in it. And when I put air in it, it would not hold air in it. I will say that I'm like, discount tires a mile away.

[Andy]

I can make it look, I have never been pitched. I've been there a lot. He has. No, I've.

[Mike]

No, this is not.

[Andy]

Which makes me feel like maybe they're just telling the truth and they're pretty helpful. Yeah.

[Mike]

They come out and they're like. They're doing the panty thing. They're like, here, look at the tread on your tire. And Mike, I don't see anything. They're like, yeah, that's a problem. I'm like, oh, all right.

[Jason]

I guess I would rather change my tires more often than be caught on the side of the road.

[Mike]

Sure.

[Andy]

Yes. Being on the side of the road is awful.

[Jason]

It just feels like tire technology hasn't advanced to the degree of everything else.

[Andy]

I would agree with you. Your point of, like, the technology exists. Like, your car has an air compressor. Your car literally already has it. It has a tire sensor.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Just do your. Just do it for me.

[Mike]

This is Back to the future too.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Jason]

Like the shoes.

[Mike]

Both the shoes and the jacket.

[Jason]

The tire industry is a consumable renewable product. It's a consumable product where you have to keep getting them. There's no incentive to come out with a tire that doesn't pop. That's all I'm saying there is.

[Mike]

For the person that comes out with that tire.

[Jason]

No. Because they'll get bought out by discount and discount will bury that thing.

[Andy]

That's true. That's 100% what would happen.

[Jason]

I wouldn't have said that if you were a sponsor, but no.

[Andy]

No way.

[Jason]

That's what you do. When you. Final answer.

[Mike]

When you drive by someone on the side of the road fixing a tire, what is your first thought?

[Andy]

I genuinely. Yes.

[Mike]

Oh, you Go report SAP.

[Jason]

Oh, yeah.

[Andy]

I go. I go, oh, that sucks for them.

[Jason]

Yep.

[Mike]

Yeah, you guys.

[Andy]

See you later.

[Jason]

Sucker.

[Mike]

That's definitely what I think.

[Andy]

Wait, what do you think?

[Mike]

What an idiot. What, like, you don't drive by those

[Andy]

people and you're like, oh, my God,

[Jason]

what if it's their fault?

[Mike]

Well, yeah, they're on the side of the road, right?

[Jason]

I have never. I can say, no, you guys don't do that.

[Mike]

That's just me.

[Andy]

I have.

[Jason]

You think they're idiots over there.

[Andy]

Oh, my gosh. No empathy.

[Jason]

This is a problem.

[Mike]

I mean, it's the same for a crash, so it's fine. You guys don't drive by a crash. You're like, what a bunch of idiots.

[Andy]

No, no, but I do.

[Jason]

I think, I hope they're okay.

[Andy]

I do love and I want this to continue happening and then be proliferated even more. Have you guys seen all the, like, the social media clips where people are in an accident?

[Mike]

Amazing. I don't know.

[Andy]

Someone's in an accident, they run into a pole. They're in a bush, they're whatever. And people slow down and they record themselves rolling down the window going, you can't park there.

[Jason]

It is unbelievable.

[Andy]

And then people get so pissed. Cause you would be an accident.

[Jason]

Dude, Daddy, they're the funniest thing you've ever seen.

[Andy]

I could scroll these videos for hours. I'm sorry, sir, you can't park there.

[Jason]

And now it's always official. It's always like, sir, sir, I don't know if you know this. See, you can't park there.

[Andy]

You can't park right there. It's wonderful. They're amazing.

[Jason]

About half the time they're met with two middle fingers and a yell. Final answer. Do you want the tires?

[Andy]

I'll take the tires.

[Jason]

Once a week, I have to take the tires. I'm with you guys every 15 minutes.

[Mike]

With your shoes.

[Andy]

Mike would just walk around with shoes.

[Jason]

Daily tire fills. You still taking the tires? No, no.

[Andy]

I'd walk around in flip flops.

[Jason]

Yeah. Would you with. With laces. Would you rather have a garage door that takes a full minute to open? That would be so painful. No, but it opens smooth and silently. Or one that opens in five seconds but sounds like loud crunching and scraping. Mellow as it goes up.

[Andy]

This is a legit question because both of those things are annoying.

[Jason]

One, you'd be afraid. I mean, the second one, the loud crunching and scraping.

[Mike]

No, but let's say you're fine.

[Jason]

You know, I know that you're but

[Andy]

you're only afraid for five seconds, right? Five seconds later, it's open. You're like, escaped it again.

[Jason]

Five seconds straight up and down. Seems dangerous.

[Andy]

How long does a normal garage door take?

[Jason]

Let me guess. You look up the average time it takes for a garage door to open. I'm going to guess that. That is.

[Mike]

Hold on, I'm going to go. I'm counting. I'm going, I'm going.

[Jason]

I'm going. Nine seconds.

[Andy]

Eight.

[Mike]

Oh, I was going to go eight.

[Jason]

Yeah, I'll go eight. Around eight.

[Andy]

The average residential garage door takes approximately 12 to 15 seconds to fully open or close.

[Jason]

Well, okay.

[Mike]

Okay. Fully.

[Andy]

Yeah. When it's done, we're talking.

[Jason]

Can you get in?

[Mike]

Yeah. Can I get into the garage or not?

[Andy]

Are you ever stopping your garage when I. When it's.

[Mike]

When I'm pulling in, my garage is still going.

[Jason]

I'm trying to get in.

[Andy]

As soon as it continues to go up.

[Mike]

Yeah, I know, but that's not.

[Andy]

You don't pause it when it's like, I can squeeze.

[Mike]

No, I don't. But for. For utilization. It's open enough.

[Jason]

I'm with you.

[Mike]

So I think our guess of 8 to 9 is very perfect.

[Jason]

We're perfect people. Jason, way off.

[Mike]

So here's the thing is when you have loud crunching, scraping stuff. So like, I don't know if you guys may. Because I rarely drive. For us, when I turn my car to the right, it is the squeakiest.

[Jason]

You got a problem.

[Mike]

Oh, brother. There is a huge issue.

[Jason]

No air in the tire.

[Mike]

No, there's that. The tire is fine. I don't know what it is. It squeaks when. Hey, oh, hey, Papa Josh. Car guy. I turned my car to the right only, and it squeaks. What's going on with my car?

[Jason]

That's not good.

[Mike]

You need to have that check. What is it?

[Jason]

It's probably a tie rod.

[Mike]

It's fine. That Taylor, I'm gonna have you listen to it.

[Jason]

I wouldn't tell me if that's that bad.

[Mike]

The problem is it's embarrassing.

[Jason]

The garage door taking a minute. That's a long time. That is.

[Mike]

But to have it be that loud. What your neighbors are like, what is wrong?

[Jason]

Trying to get. You need to get.

[Andy]

At least no one can sneak in or out. You know what I mean? Like, oh, I didn't know that. I didn't hear you come in.

[Mike]

People aren't sneaking in the garage.

[Jason]

That's more like.

[Mike]

How quiet is your garage?

[Andy]

Teenage drivers, you don't ever worry about them, like, sneaking how they're gonna wake

[Jason]

me up when they get home. I don't need that.

[Mike]

Also, when my door opens, it goes, doot, doot.

[Andy]

Oh, fancy pants.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Mike]

You're telling me your house doesn't have that?

[Andy]

I turned mine off once upon a time, but I was like, I don't need.

[Jason]

I'm gonna take the. I'm gonna take the full minute. I don't want to get woken up by people opening the garage late.

[Mike]

Oh, a minute.

[Andy]

I'm gonna take the five seconds. I'll take the loud.

[Jason]

Not good for a fire. The one minute, the one way out.

[Andy]

No, no.

[Jason]

Bad for a fire.

[Andy]

A minute will feel like an hour.

[Jason]

Feel like burning.

[Andy]

Honestly, sometimes the 12 to 15 second average feels like it takes too long. I'm like, come on. Just.

[Jason]

Where's one of my. Where's one of these guys that I got that opens it for me?

[Andy]

Honestly, I think if I could make it louder and quicker, I would right now, my current existing garage. If I could be like, I'll bet they can do it for you twice as fast. It will be twice as loud. Just identical.

[Jason]

Man could do that.

[Andy]

High horsepower, identical. I would choose it.

[Mike]

I. I bet they can do it. And if you did it, you would immediately regret it.

[Jason]

The way down, that's more dangerous. The way up is not a problem. Did you guys ever used to hang on it?

[Andy]

No.

[Jason]

When I was a kid.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Of course, when I was a little

[Jason]

kid, I would hold onto it and it would lift me off into the.

[Mike]

Yeah, I mean, you're talking.

[Jason]

I was little.

[Mike]

This is. Yeah, this is like six years.

[Andy]

This is like when I could be crushed by a garage door.

[Jason]

On the way up, you can't. You just go fly high?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Jason]

It's a good life. I mean, don't try it now.

[Andy]

I saw the movie Scream. That door was going up.

[Mike]

Oh, my gosh.

[Andy]

Yeah. You know what I'm saying?

[Mike]

Yes, I know what you're talking about. The most preposterous.

[Andy]

The doggy door.

[Mike]

I like that. She's in the garage door, and it's just like, yeah, no problem. We're going to go all the way up. Carrying the weight of a human. No, it won't.

[Andy]

I saw it happen.

[Mike]

I sneeze and the garage doors like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Do you want to open or do you. What are you doing here? Since you're like, I'm 10ft away.

[Andy]

Garage door.

[Jason]

So I'm on team. Full minute. You guys are on the other team.

[Mike]

I'm on fire.

[Jason]

Would you Rather, your first squirt of ketchup always be gross in water?

[Mike]

Oh, no.

[Jason]

No matter what. No matter how much you shake it first. Or have your microwave always take three times as long as a normal microwave. Let me ask you a baseline question.

[Mike]

One long in a microwave that wasn't two minutes.

[Jason]

You both guessed it. But how. What do you think your microwave per week utilization is?

[Mike]

Oh, that's interesting.

[Andy]

By me or by my family?

[Jason]

No, by you. How many times do you push the buttons on a microwave per week? Because.

[Andy]

Four.

[Jason]

Four times?

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Jason]

I'm probably two. Maybe one.

[Mike]

I might be three.

[Andy]

It might. But the microwaves utilization in my house in a week. 182.

[Mike]

That is a lot of microwaving.

[Jason]

You guys like stuff heated?

[Andy]

My kids do. They like, I'll cook you this now. I'll just make a frozen.

[Jason]

They do a lot of the frozen, but not an air fryer.

[Andy]

They use the air fryer too.

[Jason]

How many meals do your kids eat per day?

[Mike]

So many.

[Andy]

I got teenagers, man.

[Jason]

Do you. I mean, what do you do? How do you get rid of the first squirt?

[Andy]

So the thing is, is you can

[Mike]

overcome it with extra cake.

[Andy]

With more squirt.

[Jason]

You can overcome it?

[Andy]

Yeah, you can.

[Jason]

But are you mixing it in there?

[Mike]

Yeah, it's disgusting.

[Andy]

The first squirt is water. Here's how you overcome it. Genuinely, you cannot squirt onto the paper plate. Okay. You need to squirt into a dish.

[Mike]

Yeah. I feel like you're breaking the rules.

[Andy]

No, no, no.

[Jason]

Because we do it both ways.

[Andy]

We do it both ways all the time. Like we gotta wait for it. Sometimes we squirt on a plate. We've got all these little ramekins that we use all the time for dipping sauces, whether it's A1 or ketchup.

[Mike]

Here's the ketchup waste.

[Jason]

Your house is a wild place.

[Mike]

You have a ketchup waste ramekin.

[Andy]

It's not a ketchup waste ramekin. It's a sauce. A dish sauce. Duhast. No, duhast.

[Mike]

Duhast. Ketchup.

[Andy]

It's a little dish that serves sauces. That's a normal thing.

[Jason]

But you put the bad squirt in there.

[Andy]

My point is, if you have the

[Mike]

bats ramekin, though, that's exactly what. Andy, do you call it a ramekin? You're like, I gotta you, babe. Grab the ramekin.

[Andy]

You guys have never used that normally.

[Mike]

I called the sauce dish.

[Andy]

Yeah, I would never say the sauce dish. I would say the Ramekin.

[Mike]

Grab a ramekin. I know, because that's what we're just.

[Andy]

Because you're into way lower. That's just what it's called. It's literally called a ramekin. It's not called sauce dish. That's what it does.

[Mike]

If I call it sauce dish, I am saving a full syllable.

[Jason]

Another word for a ramekin is bowl, dish, bowl, container.

[Andy]

What's the definition of a ramekin?

[Mike]

Sauce dish.

[Jason]

A small bowl or dish.

[Andy]

A small bowl or dish. So I'm just calling off by what it is.

[Mike]

Sauces and fixins.

[Jason]

I mean, ramekin is a weird word to begin with.

[Mike]

You guys, if Josh is on your side, how do you feel about that?

[Andy]

I feel great. Because he is wise enough to understand a vocabulary. If you know the word. Using the word isn't weird. It's just not.

[Jason]

It's just another word for a small dish, which means you can say small dish. Mike, hand melt.

[Andy]

Why would I use two words when one word is better?

[Jason]

That word has a lot of letters because it's shorter.

[Andy]

If I said, get me the small dish, she's like, do you want the small bowl? Versus is she gonna bring me out the small plate? Is she gonna bring me out a ramekin? No. If I say, bring me on the ramekitch, it brings me on the ramekitch.

[Mike]

Okay, okay. But how about if you say, bring me the sauce dish? Same syllables.

[Jason]

Bring me the sauce dish, bring me the ramekin.

[Andy]

Honest. Honestly, you don't want this answer.

[Mike]

I do. I want it. I want the smoke.

[Andy]

She might accidentally bring out the soy sauce dish, which is different than the ramekin. The ramekin is. I told you. You didn't. You only got one ramekin.

[Mike]

We have opened a new door. Tell me, what is a soy sauce dish?

[Andy]

It's a dish for soy sauce.

[Mike]

And how does it differ from a ramekin?

[Andy]

Technically, it's in the ramekin family.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Andy]

But it's made solely and only for dipping soy sauce.

[Mike]

What characteristics can't you dip into anything lower?

[Andy]

A sauce dish. A ramekin will have higher walls.

[Mike]

I feel like I would want that for a sauce.

[Jason]

Are you eating a quiche out of a ramekin? No.

[Andy]

It would have to be a big ramekin. Almost. Not even a ramekin.

[Mike]

What are those?

[Jason]

What about a little like a pudding? You put some pudding in a ramekin,

[Andy]

you could put a couple heapings of pudding.

[Jason]

How big is this ramekin?

[Andy]

Ramekins are small man, it's a small dish.

[Mike]

Are we saying is the ramekin the. Like the real. Real tiny bowl?

[Andy]

Yeah. I mean, just.

[Mike]

It doesn't look like a. More like a plate where it's like, the edges are just slightly lifted.

[Andy]

That's more like soy sauce.

[Jason]

Is it. Could you put a muffin inside of it?

[Mike]

So a ramekin is like a little dessert.

[Andy]

Google. Google ramekin and you'll know they're all the same. I mean, there's a million different types.

[Mike]

It wants me to search Rammstein.

[Jason]

I feel like ramekins would have.

[Mike]

How does one spell ramekin?

[Andy]

R A, N, E, K, I, N.

[Jason]

What's the dessert with, like, the crystallized.

[Mike]

This is not for creme brulee.

[Jason]

Creme brulee.

[Mike]

This is not for sauces.

[Andy]

Yes, we use it for ketchup. A1. Whatever, all the time.

[Mike]

No, this is. This is a dessert bowl.

[Andy]

It's so small.

[Mike]

These are primarily used for baking and serving individual portions of souffles, custards, creme

[Jason]

brulee, and pot pies, because they are

[Andy]

also able to go in the.

[Mike]

Of course. Yeah. So is my giant dish. My giant dish can hold the sauce, too. What are you talking about?

[Jason]

I put my sauces in a cereal bowl.

[Andy]

Oh, my gosh.

[Jason]

Guys are.

[Andy]

You guys are insane and stupid.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Andy]

I just want you to know. You guys are so stupid.

[Mike]

The edges are way too hard.

[Andy]

You're uneducated. You. They're too high for soy sauce.

[Jason]

For ramaking. Ramaking over here.

[Mike]

Too high for catsup.

[Andy]

No, you want the dip.

[Mike]

Mayonnaise.

[Andy]

Think about. Think about the size of a raising cane sauce cup or whatever you call it. It's like the size of a ramekin.

[Mike]

No, it's not.

[Jason]

Yeah, it's like a plastic ramekin. Yes.

[Mike]

And you know, you're supposed to, like, unwrap those.

[Andy]

Unwrap them.

[Mike]

Yeah, Go look that up.

[Andy]

What are you talking about?

[Mike]

Look up. People unwrapping the sauce cups, the little ketchup.

[Andy]

What are you talking.

[Mike]

Look it up. Go look it up.

[Andy]

Unwrapping. That's not even something you could do with it.

[Mike]

What are you talking about?

[Andy]

You are. What is going on?

[Jason]

Unwrap what?

[Mike]

I hate to say it, but Matt's on my side. He understands it.

[Andy]

You loser.

[Jason]

What thing are you talking about? The little.

[Mike]

You go to the fast food place, you get the little ketchup, cup the dip, and squeeze. Yeah, you can unwrap that.

[Jason]

Oh, yeah, you can unwrap that.

[Andy]

What do. You can unwrap that.

[Mike]

You were just attacking me.

[Jason]

No, I was confused. I. He's talking about the dip and squeeze.

[Mike]

The little.

[Jason]

The little one that you can either squeeze the end or open the top.

[Mike]

Josh says the paper. Josh. Of course it's the paper one.

[Jason]

But he's thinking of the.

[Andy]

I'm talking about the normal raisin. Yes.

[Jason]

What are you.

[Andy]

What are you talking about, Mike? I was talking about the raising cane sauce. I was specific. Raising canes. I was specific. He was specific. I literally said the raising cane sauce. You're like, people unwrap that. I'm like, what are you talking about?

[Mike]

I missed the raisin canes one. I'm sorry. I'm talking the normal little cups. You go to like. You go to the sauce dispensary.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Mike]

The station.

[Andy]

The paper ones.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Okay.

[Jason]

We. We can't possibly stay here.

[Andy]

I'll take the ramekin. What was the question?

[Jason]

I will first. Never heard of ketchup. Be gross. Or the microwave three times as long. I'll take the three times as long microwave.

[Andy]

I'll take care. I'll take the ketchup. Put it in a ramen.

[Mike]

I'll go extra ketchup.

[Jason]

We have to take a break. Collect ourselves. I have great news. Malcolm in the Middle is back.

[Andy]

My life is fantastic now in a four part event.

[Jason]

All I had to do is stay completely away from my family. Your biggest problem is that we exist.

[Mike]

Everyone's invited to the can't miss reunion of the year.

[Jason]

This family's behavior is toxic to me. You'll just take turns fighting and creating disasters.

[Mike]

That's what families do.

[Jason]

Malcolm in the Middle. Life's still unfair. Now streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney for bundle subscribers terms apply.

[Andy]

Decisions of extreme importance.

[Mike]

All right.

[Jason]

Decisions of extreme importance. I'm going to state a. What would it be like? A statement.

[Mike]

Allow myself to introduce myself.

[Andy]

Let me hear something.

[Jason]

We'll decide if we agree or not. The best way to eat a cupcake is to tear off the bottom and put it on the top, making a frosting sandwich.

[Mike]

No, no.

[Jason]

You're not supposed to answer right away. You're not playing the game.

[Mike]

Give me the count.

[Andy]

All right.

[Jason]

Do we all have an answer?

[Andy]

Yeah, I've got mine.

[Jason]

So we say yes or no.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Jason]

The best way to eat a cupcake is to tear off the bottom and put it on top to make a frosting sandwich. Three, two, one.

[Andy]

Yes. Yes.

[Jason]

No, no, no, no.

[Andy]

Okay.

[Jason]

The better thing is to tear off the bottom and not eat it at all and just eat the top.

[Andy]

Okay. All right. Okay, you can bring me over to your side. Quick.

[Mike]

Whoa.

[Andy]

Okay, you can bring me over to your quick.

[Mike]

We're going Seinfeld muffin tops.

[Jason]

Why do we need to put it on the top?

[Mike]

Because it's too much. It's too much of a good thing.

[Jason]

Wrong.

[Andy]

It's too much. Wrong.

[Mike]

It's too much.

[Andy]

The top is the only part that matters.

[Jason]

Let me ask you this, Mike. Let's say you take a normal cupcake and you add double the stem. Is that too much stem?

[Mike]

Yes.

[Jason]

Okay. So at some point, we decided how much stem the ratio is. Some arbiter of stem out there decided how much stem we need, and we need less stem.

[Andy]

No, they didn't. The ratio is. The ratio is too stem. Right. If you were to make a cupcake tray with half of the stem. Dude, we've got a business.

[Jason]

Heck, yeah.

[Andy]

We got a business model.

[Mike]

We did this joke in Seinfeld.

[Jason]

No, those were muffins.

[Andy]

I don't watch Seinfeld.

[Jason]

This is a cupcake.

[Andy]

I don't watch Seinfeld.

[Mike]

What is the difference between a muffin

[Jason]

and a cupcake frosting?

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Thank you. It's literally nothing frosting. Just the wig that I put on the top.

[Andy]

Yeah, but the wig being diluted by more Stim.

[Jason]

We don't need that much stimulus.

[Mike]

You need it because you need.

[Jason]

They were taking ramekins and putting them in the oven. Now they got to go half the height.

[Mike]

Here's the problem. Without it, you're just chewing frosting and half the bread. No, no. You're just chewing frosting.

[Andy]

Guys, I have.

[Mike]

It's too much sugar. It's too much frosting for one bite.

[Jason]

Jason's probably found somebody that makes the half height like.

[Mike]

It's just like.

[Andy]

It's just like. Better than that, Andy. Better than that. I am looking for shallow cupcake. Just the same cupcake tins that are just more shallow, less stem. I am not finding them. This is a need that we can fill. This is a business that we can profit on.

[Jason]

You're saying nobody out there has ever just made them half as tall?

[Andy]

Not that I can find.

[Jason]

Is this a cooking quality situation?

[Andy]

No, the cooking quality is going to be fantastic.

[Jason]

So you're saying we have until this episode releases to pat.

[Mike]

You're trying to convince us right now in the year.

[Jason]

I mean, I.

[Mike]

Whenever you're listening.

[Jason]

Nonstick large, shallow muffin.

[Andy]

I just found it. It says nonstick large.

[Jason]

I'm pretty sure if someone figured out.

[Andy]

At Michael's.

[Mike]

Yeah, at Michael's.

[Andy]

It's yours.

[Mike]

At Michael's. It's not even Etsy. It's at Michael's.

[Andy]

I got to get one of these.

[Jason]

Here's the other option.

[Mike]

I will give Walmart.

[Jason]

I will give you one more option. You want to hear something a little outside the box? You want to keep the stem frosting on both sides, but then there's a thin.

[Mike]

That's okay.

[Jason]

I don't care how to eat it

[Andy]

at that point, you've got to cut it in half and make it a sandwich.

[Mike]

That's the whole thing about the cupcake is I can eat it with my hands. The cake. I need a fork.

[Andy]

I will say this on the stem

[Jason]

is fine if you put frosting inside as well.

[Mike]

Okay, okay. Now, okay, okay, okay. Totally agree.

[Andy]

So we're talking. We're talking about, like a Boston cream version of.

[Jason]

All right, let's get proportions. The cupcakes get the proportions the way we want.

[Andy]

Frosting should be throughout. Eternal.

[Jason]

Yeah, I mean, do you like the bite with the frosting in it, Mike? More than the bite without it.

[Mike]

Here's the thing. What bite of a cupcake are you taking that doesn't have frosting? How are you eating a cupcake?

[Jason]

You could mismanage the bite.

[Mike]

How are you possible. The Top is bigger than the bottom. It hangs over. No, because that's why it's called a muffin top.

[Andy]

The thing. Yeah, we all been there.

[Mike]

That's why my tummy's called the muffins.

[Jason]

It's a cupcake. There's no top. There's no hangover.

[Andy]

Yeah, this is.

[Jason]

Stop confusing muffins and cupcakes.

[Andy]

We're not talking about cupcakes.

[Jason]

You don't know what they are.

[Mike]

Dude, the cupcake still hangs over a bit.

[Jason]

No, exhausting does.

[Andy]

Here's a.

[Mike]

You can't control where it's gonna go.

[Andy]

Oftentimes you do have to have a frosting. Control the hang because it hangs over. You can have a frostingless bite on its own.

[Jason]

Sometimes I eat the bottom off till I get the cupcake on top.

[Mike]

Okay, well, that's a decision that you acted.

[Jason]

Let me be not putting it on top.

[Andy]

Genuine question. If you could have a cupcake that is filled on the inside with the frosting.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Andy]

And it can't get all over your face, but every bite is pretty much the same, top to bottom.

[Mike]

It's called a Twinkie.

[Andy]

Would you prefer that?

[Jason]

Yes.

[Mike]

A Twinkie.

[Andy]

No.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Andy]

No. What? I was describing a cupcake. Either way, you're saying. Yes, you described what?

[Mike]

Isn't a Ding Dong the same thing?

[Jason]

Mike, a Twinkie doesn't have frosting on top of. You have no idea what a cupcake is.

[Mike]

Okay, I've gone to Ding Dong.

[Andy]

This wouldn't have frosting on top either.

[Jason]

Wait, what?

[Andy]

I'm talking about injected. I'm talking about pure injection.

[Jason]

You're talking about Twinkie.

[Andy]

Okay. Would you rather have a Twinkie?

[Mike]

No.

[Jason]

Of course.

[Andy]

Twinkies are so good. Twinkies are better than so good.

[Jason]

They're way better than one ounce of real anything in a Twinkie.

[Andy]

No, no. Let's say a homemade Twinkie. I made this from scratch. It's the same batter. It's the same.

[Jason]

Maybe, but why? There's something about it being on top.

[Mike]

Listen, you're worried about the ingredients of your.

[Jason]

If you put cheese. If you put a slice of cheese on the top of a burger, or you put cheese inside the burger but not on top. There's a difference in how it tastes.

[Mike]

Yeah, I agree.

[Jason]

And that's what happens with frosting. Getting only on the inside, not on the outside. We need it on the outside, too, Jason.

[Andy]

So you want to inject and top.

[Jason]

Yes.

[Andy]

All right. You have me at inject and top.

[Mike]

I feel like you guys just want Ding Dongs.

[Andy]

No. There's no frosting on top.

[Jason]

Ding dongs are not. They're not frosting.

[Mike]

It's not a smooth frosting, but there is definitely a layer.

[Jason]

Mike's cupcake. He needs more cupcakes in his life.

[Andy]

I need more frosting in my life.

[Jason]

Best way to eat a cupcake is to do that. No, that's not the strategy.

[Mike]

We're going. The truth is that cupcakes are just.

[Andy]

Turns out, mid.

[Jason]

They're not that good no matter what.

[Andy]

Cupcakes are. Meh.

[Jason]

You know, I would always take. If you told me I could have one of those, like, you know, the Twinkies or like, an oatmeal cream piece or a cupcake. I'm going to take the oatmeal cream pie style. Like, I don't know. I want to make, like, homemade oatmeal cream pie.

[Andy]

You're sounding like an idiot, because.

[Jason]

No, if you can see the frosting

[Andy]

right away and turn it this.

[Jason]

Yes, I know you make.

[Andy]

Yeah, that one is basically, would you rather eat it as an oatmeal cream pie? Okay, so Andy and I are right. The answer is yes. Next question.

[Jason]

When putting on a hoodie, both hands should go through.

[Andy]

You make a very strong argument.

[Jason]

I mean, you say pudding when putting on a hoodie.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Jason]

When putting on a hoodie.

[Mike]

Right.

[Jason]

Both hands should go through the sleeves before the head goes through the top.

[Mike]

Oh, hold on.

[Andy]

Let me think. Okay, we got to take an audio break here as we try to visualize.

[Mike]

Why do you need to go to the bathroom?

[Andy]

No, I need to put on a hoodie. Excuse me one second.

[Mike]

Okay, Jason is put. And Andy is. Yes.

[Andy]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jason]

Yes, for sure. Both hands.

[Mike]

I'm trying to work through it.

[Andy]

Take your time, man. Take your time. Close your eyes. Visualize.

[Mike]

How do I.

[Andy]

You got a hoodie in front of you.

[Mike]

How do I do it?

[Jason]

Do you need to go get a hoodie?

[Mike]

No. Do you ever go head first?

[Jason]

I have.

[Andy]

I have. But there's a right way and a wrong way.

[Jason]

You want a polo?

[Andy]

Do you want the hoodie?

[Mike]

Here I go to. I go. I think I go two sleeves.

[Andy]

Then we have two sleeves, and then.

[Jason]

Yeah, yeah.

[Andy]

So that is the right way we answered it.

[Jason]

The proper way to eat corn on the cob is in straight rows, not by rotating it randomly.

[Andy]

Okay, one. Wait, wait, wait.

[Mike]

Hold on, hold on, hold on. Now I go to him. Now I got to think of this. I'm eating a corn on the cob.

[Jason]

The proper way is the question. The way they're putting It.

[Mike]

How are we talking a half or a full? This matters.

[Jason]

A full.

[Mike]

This is a full cob.

[Jason]

Full cob.

[Andy]

Full cob.

[Mike]

Full cob. That's never go full cop. It's very horizontal. People frequently go half cob.

[Andy]

It's a big cob. Okay. You're gonna eat this big cob.

[Jason]

Are you using those two sticks in the end?

[Andy]

Yes, of course. Because mine came three. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

[Mike]

Hold on, hold on, hold on. The way this is worded is in straight rows.

[Jason]

Yeah. Supposed to just randomly.

[Mike]

We're doing this like a typewriter. We're going.

[Andy]

That's right. Rows are a typewriter. Rows are left to right or right to left.

[Jason]

3, 2, 1.

[Andy]

Yes.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Andy]

No, proper.

[Jason]

The proper way.

[Andy]

Proper is not proper way. No.

[Mike]

So what are you doing on this?

[Andy]

I'm going columns.

[Mike]

Monster.

[Andy]

No, no, no. I start on the left and I eat around.

[Jason]

I wish I could curse on this show.

[Andy]

No, no, no. If you. I'm telling you, you probably do too. You guys need to reevaluate how you eat a core.

[Mike]

I probably do. I think you do.

[Andy]

And I think Andy does too. No one eats it all the way over before turning. You eat in a.

[Jason]

You eat like that.

[Andy]

What?

[Jason]

You look like just there. You look like an idiot.

[Mike]

I eat an Alphabet, not numbers.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Jason]

Yes. I.

[Mike]

That's a sick Google.

[Jason]

There's a chance I eat the way you think in a full cob. If I go full cob, half cob.

[Andy]

We only were talking. We established half cob. We said big time.

[Jason]

You go left to right on a half cob.

[Andy]

I don't know.

[Mike]

I don't. I go the direction I read it

[Andy]

will be left to right.

[Jason]

They go right.

[Mike]

Oh, I'm not reading a manga. I'm eating a corn on the cob.

[Andy]

The truth is, in English, when you eat a corn on the cob, your bite your next bite after your first one. The next one after your first one is below where your first one was. Everybody.

[Jason]

Okay, hold on. We need to take a breath. Matt has said that eating on the cob sucks. Are you telling me that corn on the cob you'd rather eat like canned

[Mike]

corn off the cob?

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Gross.

[Jason]

Go away.

[Andy]

Listen, my youngest child has braces. He needs it. Cut off the cob and you can be just like him.

[Jason]

There is nothing you can be a child. There's nothing better than corn on the cob. I don't know why it's better on the cob.

[Mike]

Corn off the cob is stupid. Here's the thing. You ever eaten corn off the cob and gotten corn stuck in your teeth?

[Andy]

Yes.

[Mike]

No. You're a liar, Jason.

[Andy]

I'm lying.

[Mike]

I know you were.

[Andy]

You called me out quickly.

[Mike]

As for my point, that's, that's the biggest issue.

[Jason]

When I grew up, I needed all corn.

[Mike]

It gets crammed in the crevices, but

[Andy]

I, I have tools for that.

[Jason]

Yeah, we got the.

[Andy]

I got them at work.

[Jason]

You don't eat popcorn.

[Andy]

I got them at home.

[Jason]

Popcorn gets everywhere.

[Andy]

You don't eat beef jerky. Beef jerky gets sometimes.

[Mike]

What is this argument? Straw man.

[Jason]

Get out of here.

[Andy]

It's not a straw man. Foods are worth it 100%.

[Mike]

I don't, I don't like the amount of high fiving that's going on.

[Andy]

Get on our level, man. But my point is this, Andy. After you take your first bite and

[Jason]

I'll say any you're thinking, I'm going.

[Andy]

You're going to take your next bite will be below your first bite.

[Jason]

I'm diagonal.

[Andy]

No, you're not.

[Mike]

I'm purely.

[Andy]

You are way too Taipei to go diagonal. I could be diagonal. You would never.

[Jason]

You are like full stick of butter, right?

[Andy]

Yeah. Okay, well, you take a full stick of butter, you put it on like a plate, then you put those little things in the.

[Mike]

What's your preferred. Do you want it to be corn? Do you want it to be a character? I used to like, we had Mickey and Minnie growing up.

[Andy]

I used to like the corn that looked like corn that goes in, that goes into the. Now I've got more like plush. Nice handles.

[Mike]

Oh, my God. Okay, describe the handles.

[Jason]

He's got like an actual handle.

[Andy]

Yeah, it's like. It's like a black and yellow.

[Mike]

No, but like multi finger. What are we talking about here? It's like a single finger goes in.

[Andy]

No, no, you don't go inside.

[Jason]

You're just like a teapot.

[Andy]

Each side is a nice plush like 2 inch hand.

[Mike]

Would it be better to have a giant grip? Oh, like, like a full hand.

[Andy]

Yeah. Where you don't have to turn and

[Jason]

grab the end of a baseball bat.

[Andy]

Yeah, but, but I think what he's saying is instead of having it turned

[Mike]

towards the cob, I'm saying if you're flat out.

[Andy]

If your hands could grip something.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Almost like a Nintendo Switch. Like a Nintendo Switch.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Jason]

Or flying a helicopter.

[Andy]

Or it's a yoke and you push those things in. That'd be.

[Jason]

I feel like we want to be here. We don't want to be here.

[Andy]

I want to be here when I hold it, But I think you're right. When I eat.

[Mike]

What if it were giant Harley handlebars

[Andy]

and you had to hold it up here?

[Jason]

That's nice. The Harley.

[Andy]

The Harley. Dude. Harley on the cob.

[Jason]

Dude, that place will blow up.

[Andy]

But I'm telling you, the proper way to eat corn on the cob. Now, the question is in straight rows, not by rotating it randomly. I think they might have made a mistake because rows are left to right, columns are top to bottom.

[Mike]

Right.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Rose is incorrect. However, I think the heart. The spirit of the question is, do you eat them in line?

[Jason]

In an organized fashion.

[Andy]

In an organized fashion. And the answer to that is yes, but not call. Not Rose. Not Rose.

[Mike]

I believe I do columns.

[Jason]

You should open presents one at a time so everyone can watch. Not a free for all.

[Andy]

I've got a strong opinion.

[Mike]

Oh, man, that's. This is tough. One at it.

[Andy]

I've got mine locked.

[Jason]

See, if you just. There's so much context. All right. You should open presents one at a time so everyone can watch. Not a free for all. Three, two, one.

[Andy]

Yes. Yeah, because we're parents.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Because we spent all the money on these gifts.

[Mike]

This is not how my Christmas goes.

[Andy]

No, you're in charge, Michael.

[Mike]

Nope.

[Andy]

Oh, am I?

[Mike]

Am I, Jason?

[Andy]

I guess not. I apologize. That's. That's hard.

[Mike]

The boss is in charge at home.

[Andy]

Okay.

[Jason]

I.

[Mike]

As. As a youth growing up, I was in a one at a time family. I am now in a family of it's one present at a time, but everyone gets one. And then we get say go.

[Jason]

Yeah, actually, that's fine.

[Andy]

That's okay.

[Jason]

That's okay. That is through the morning.

[Andy]

Yeah, I think that's fine. The problem is with that. You really have to sync up the total number of days per person. You can fib a little bit.

[Mike]

Total. We making sure that everything is total. Sometimes people open a present in our house where it's like, there's six things in here.

[Jason]

Oh. To even it out.

[Mike]

Yeah. You're like, no, don't worry. All that stuff definitely goes together.

[Andy]

You're like, okay, we're gonna have to shove some stuff together.

[Mike]

This one's. This one's book. Socks and a motorcycle. Put it all together.

[Andy]

This one's short. So what can we wrap? You got some socks we can wrap. That'll be his first open.

[Jason]

Every president should time release every five minutes, Then you could just space.

[Mike]

That would be nice.

[Jason]

The majority of showers should happen in the morning, not at night. The majority of showers should happen in the morning, not at night. Three, two, one.

[Mike]

No.

[Andy]

No. Both of you are. No.

[Jason]

I used to be a morning. I'm almost. I would say 95% of my showers are at night now, so.

[Andy]

You would. But you think people should stink during the day when they're with other people and then be clean by themselves at night in their bed.

[Mike]

What is happening during the night, over the night, what do you do you get stinky.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Your entire life is lived.

[Jason]

I thought you lived in a super bed.

[Andy]

I do.

[Jason]

That just keeps you nice and cool. What, you sweating all over yourself?

[Andy]

Yeah. Not everybody lives in my super bed.

[Jason]

You poop yourself at night.

[Andy]

Do you live in a super bed? No. So then you're stinky in the morning.

[Jason]

I'm not. I've fallen in love with the night shower. I've fallen in love with it. I love going to bed clean, perfectly clean. And like, my proportion of sweat is always as far away as I am from the last shower I took. I will shower. I will like, sweat more and more and more. So I like.

[Andy]

I sleep better versus waiting shower mostly at night.

[Mike]

I honestly, right now, almost all my showers are like the evening after workout.

[Jason]

I will say if I work out in the afternoon, that's my shower of the day.

[Mike]

Yep.

[Andy]

See, this is when I work out

[Jason]

today, and then I'll go take a

[Andy]

shower when I work out in the morning. And so I shower after that. So I think the real answer to this question is work out after you or shower after you work out.

[Mike]

I do agree the majority of showers,

[Jason]

I don't mind two showers. Either if I need a second shower or I want to do my hair that next morning, I'm gonna hop in

[Andy]

even if I don't need it. I'm gonna tell you right now, if I shower at night. My biggest problem with showering at night is it robs me of a morning

[Jason]

shower and you are in control of your life.

[Andy]

So I can shower at night, wake up fresh, and go, I will soon. I want another shower.

[Jason]

Although your shower is like 45 minutes each, so I understand the time constraints.

[Andy]

Yeah, it's tough. It's a hard, hard knock life.

[Mike]

Well, this may not be an issue. I feel like we've talked about shower towels and someone had like, fresh. That might have been Jeremy, who was just like, has a fresh shower towel every time he steps into the bathroom.

[Jason]

I do not at all.

[Mike]

So the issue with the multiple showers

[Jason]

also Jason probably no def.

[Andy]

I wish it was not me.

[Mike]

I was pretty sure it was. It was. Al, the issue is when you go to shower again and your towel's still

[Jason]

kind of damp, moist towel.

[Mike]

It feels.

[Jason]

You need to grab a nap.

[Mike]

That feels kind of gross. Oh, I'm never grabbing.

[Jason]

Let me tell you my towel situation. Right now. We have. I have one special towel that is like bigger, softer, nicer.

[Mike]

So it's like a. It's the Jason.

[Jason]

It's not the best sheet. I've gotten that before. It's bigger, though. It's wonderful. I. I don't know why. I don't know why I've never bought another one. I just have one I like.

[Andy]

Okay.

[Jason]

And sometimes I push it. I'm like, I gotta get this thing washed. But I didn't really want to wash it. I want to throw it in our to be washed bucket.

[Andy]

Oh.

[Jason]

And then I switched. Then I. Then I back. I have my backup towel. But, dude, I've been on this backup towel for like two weeks. Nobody's washing this other towel.

[Andy]

Oh, man.

[Jason]

And I'm like holding out for her to wash nobody.

[Mike]

If only we do someone who could watch.

[Jason]

I'm trying not to go wash the towels.

[Mike]

Why?

[Jason]

Because I'm holding out.

[Mike]

Just go watch the towel.

[Jason]

Because it's become a battle.

[Mike]

Oh, it's the super who's gonna do it. Yeah, Raymond.

[Jason]

I mean, there's no. There's no vitriol with it. I'm just kind of like, how long is it gonna take for.

[Andy]

You just need to be the winner.

[Mike]

Yeah, just go watch.

[Jason]

I bet when she hears this, it'll still be in the closet. All right, we're gonna go ahead and take another break. We'll be back with our draft.

[Mike]

That's Quince Q U I n c e.com spitballers for free shipping and 365 day returns. Quints.com spitballers. The Spitballers draft.

[Jason]

All right, here we go. I talked about it earlier. We are drafting things that you would want in a tree house. I mean the treehouse was kind of the most iconic cool possible hangout. As a kid I had a couple of friends who had like, they didn't have the tree house because we didn't have giant trees where we were living. But they had the like raised above ground fort.

[Mike]

They have the, they had the swing set that also had the little house,

[Jason]

but it was raised. If you have a ladder to go up to it.

[Andy]

Yeah, sure.

[Jason]

It made it cool. So I mean the idea of having your own fort hideout as a kid, your own place, like what do we

[Andy]

think of since we grew up in Arizona and we don't really have big enough trees to really build nice tree houses easily. What do we think? Like, what's the first image that comes to mind when you think of a tree house? An actual tree house. I wonder if it's the same for all of us.

[Jason]

Like where is it from a movie?

[Andy]

Like from a movie or anything.

[Mike]

Mine's different now.

[Jason]

Home alone is what comes.

[Andy]

All I see is sandlot.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Mike]

All I see now is eight bit Christmas.

[Andy]

Okay, so we've got different ideas of our ideal.

[Jason]

Obviously, the higher the better. If It's a kid's treehouse. And I prefer. When I picture it, I want the ladder going up the middle. You come up the middle of the treehouse.

[Andy]

Oh, inside.

[Jason]

Inside.

[Mike]

Well, that. I mean, I'll go with the first pick. And I mean, what a draft to have the first pick. Because there's no way that you guys don't want this.

[Andy]

There is a one on one.

[Mike]

What?

[Andy]

I'll take it after you.

[Mike]

Okay, that's fine. There's not a one. But I'm gonna go with trapdoor. I'm gonna start it off with that. Because that's because you are correct.

[Jason]

Yeah. You wait.

[Mike]

If you're going up into a tree house and you're climbing up in the tree and you're going ding dong and opening a door, that's bull crap.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Mike]

No, you're climbing up through the trap

[Andy]

to come up through the middle. Now the trap door, can you pull the ladder up?

[Jason]

Yes.

[Andy]

The trap door is really just for safety. Once you're on the inside, technically, you could go up. You know what I mean? Like, if you think about it, it's kind of a problem coming up and in. Yeah, but it's. Once you're in, it's like, oh, good, I can't fall out the hole in the middle of the tree house.

[Jason]

Technically, you can go up into a treehouse with just a rope with the knots in it.

[Andy]

If you need to, you can.

[Jason]

Well, I mean, as a kid. Okay. I mean, a garage door could lift me as a kid, so. But no. So you're going trapdoor, I'm going trapdoor.

[Andy]

I'll take the most important thing for all kids when they hang out and have fun with friends. I'm gonna take a snack stash. I mean, come on. What you want up in that treehouse? That's the snacks.

[Jason]

I had candy and snacks.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Mike]

My desert domain, we never had snacks.

[Andy]

Yeah, but I'll bet you'd be real.

[Mike]

No, I thought that was cool alliteration right now.

[Andy]

It was so cool.

[Mike]

It was dangerous.

[Jason]

So I got two picks.

[Mike]

Could be rattlesnakes.

[Andy]

But you know what? You don't have snack stash.

[Jason]

I don't have a snack stash. I gotta go. I'm gonna go, like new and old, combination of entertainment. All right, I'm gonna combo. I got comic books. Because comic books just belong in a treehouse. Yeah, I got comic books. And then I'm gonna go, tv. I'm gonna go. I smuggle a little TV into the. I don't know if I need an Extension cord running up the tree. But do you want sort of tv, video games you want to turn on?

[Mike]

Yeah, you're gonna need an extension cord.

[Jason]

So the entertainment. I'm like, bunny rabbit. It's probably bunny ears, but I could hook up a little Nintendo to it.

[Andy]

All right.

[Mike]

Yeah. I mean, we're talking rc.

[Jason]

It's. What do I want? What do I want there? I want to go hide out and play some Super Mario World.

[Andy]

All right, it's back to me.

[Jason]

So it is Snack stash.

[Andy]

I got a snack stash. And I think one of the important things, because, look, not all tree houses are built the same. I'm sure the ones that we are envisioning right now, they're up high, they're far away, they're isolated.

[Mike]

Well, they're not.

[Andy]

They're away from parents.

[Mike]

I think it might be in your backyard.

[Andy]

Might be. But it feels probably like a different world.

[Jason]

Could be in the woods.

[Andy]

I'm going to take what is essentially binoculars. But no, no, it's a spyglass. No, it's got to be.

[Mike]

The periscope is on my list, dude.

[Andy]

Yeah, you got to be able to check out who's coming. You gotta see. Check your surroundings, man. Yeah, I'm not getting caught off guard.

[Mike]

Gosh darn it.

[Jason]

That's a good.

[Andy]

I'm not like, no way. No one is knocking on my trapdoor. Mike's trap door. And I'm like, does that mean your

[Jason]

periscope has to go down?

[Andy]

Well, I'm just. I'm looking out the side. I'm looking at the side with a spy.

[Jason]

No, you don't need to look up in the trees.

[Mike]

I feel like by.

[Andy]

Look for birds.

[Mike]

I feel like by definition, periscope has to go up.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Mike]

What's it called if the scope goes down?

[Andy]

Bariscope.

[Jason]

I don't know. I just wondered, like. I wondered what that looked like. So, Mike, you have a trapdoor essential.

[Mike]

All right, see what we got. Snacks. You took my periscope. So, I mean, you need. You're gonna be up there. You're gonna be up there a while. You gotta. Gotta be able to relax.

[Jason]

Of course.

[Mike]

I need a beanbag.

[Jason]

Okay, guys, you got a beanbag.

[Mike]

I need a beanbag for sure.

[Jason]

Well, it's not fun to get up there, man. When you're using on the way up there. It's hard stuff to get it up.

[Mike]

It's. Well, no. What? A beanbag is light as air.

[Jason]

Okay.

[Mike]

What kind of beanbags are you using?

[Andy]

Sorry. But dad. Dad is bringing the beanbag Up.

[Jason]

Okay.

[Mike]

What kind of beanbags are you guys using?

[Jason]

Did you carry a lot of bean bags up ladders as a kid?

[Mike]

No, but I had plenty of them and around in my room. They're heavy.

[Andy]

My. My son has had two different beanbags, and they are both super heavy.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Then you have new, fancy technology beanbags

[Jason]

because they're filled with beans.

[Mike]

No, they're filled with the tire. Little styrofoam balls.

[Jason]

Okay, you got light. A light beanbag, I guess. Next pick.

[Mike]

So I've got that. And then I don't know where it's going to go. It's just going to go into a little different part of the tree. I have a rope bridge. I got a fancy rope bridge, so I can go over to maybe a little escape hatch or just maybe there's a little crow's nest.

[Jason]

I feel like you're very architectural with your picks. Like, all of yours are pretty. I mean, a trapdoor, beanbag, sit, walk, place to enter. Okay.

[Mike]

You got to utilize things to eat. Yeah.

[Andy]

I mean, the way to watch people.

[Mike]

I didn't get that.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Jason]

All right, Jason, you are up with another pick for your things you want in your treehouse.

[Andy]

Well, Mike's got a way to get up, a way to get out.

[Mike]

Yep.

[Andy]

I'm gonna take a way to get down. I want a zip line.

[Mike]

Oh, come on, baby. Come on.

[Andy]

Oh, parents are coming up. I'm out of here.

[Mike]

Zipline is definitely on my list.

[Jason]

It's on my list, too. It's all my.

[Andy]

The ultimate escape, the ultimate fun. It's a reason to go in the treehouse. I'm gonna go up there, have some snacks. Zipline.

[Jason]

Yeah. Yeah. No, that's. That's your treehouse. Sounds fun right now.

[Andy]

Yeah. You're gonna all want to come to my trip. I might not have a trap board

[Mike]

or anywhere to sit.

[Andy]

Well, we only come up eating.

[Mike]

This is standing room only.

[Andy]

That's right. All right, I got two palm tree. Mike, this is Arizona. You guys haven't seen palm tree houses.

[Jason]

My first pick, I'm actually going to go walkie talkies. Oh.

[Andy]

So I was all, I thought I was going walkie talkies with my last pick until I thought of the zip line. Walkie talkie is a great pick. I mean, communication is key.

[Jason]

Yeah. And, you know, from you to your friend's house, from the neighboring tree house that your friend built, whatever the case may be, walkie talkies just seem to be able to communicate in the treehouse. Although, man, I don't know if anybody's ever invented a walkie talkie whose battery doesn't run out within about 15 minutes. They're still working.

[Andy]

I feel like they should be able to be a little. Just a little clearer than.

[Mike]

The thing is, they have them now, but also, you don't need walkie talkies anymore.

[Jason]

So I'm gonna go walkie talkie

[Andy]

over. I go to snacks.

[Jason]

Where do I install this periscope we

[Andy]

have up at our cabin? We've got walkie talkies that we make our kids take because there's bears in the woods and things like, we make them take walkie talkies to the bears. There's a bear here in case something is going on.

[Mike]

Just letting you know in case. Now approaching. It was a bear.

[Andy]

Let's say a kid sprangs an ankle. Okay. And they want to. But it's like, you can't understand if

[Mike]

you are walkie talking about the bear, it is too late.

[Andy]

No, it could be during running. I'm running from the bear.

[Mike]

I got bad news. If you're running from the bear, it's too late.

[Jason]

And I look, I have a lot of other picks, and I'm kind of sad. I zipline.

[Mike]

You have one more pick.

[Jason]

I know. I'm gonna go. I think it's a flashlight. This is

[Mike]

spooky ghost stories.

[Andy]

I would have taken the lantern. Oh, where are you lighting? Like, off on the ground or what? Just gonna light a little spot in your.

[Jason]

In your treehouse for reading the comic books.

[Andy]

Okay, you can't do that from a lantern. You can.

[Jason]

You're gonna bring up. You're gonna bring a flashlight, a fire

[Andy]

lantern up into an LED lantern.

[Jason]

What a lame pick. All right, I'm going. So I got comic books, tv, walkie talkie, flashlight, and some honorable mentions we'll get to.

[Andy]

Yeah, no, I do have a couple of fun ones, but I'm gonna take. Look, I got something fun to eat while I'm up there. I got a way to get down. I can scope out my enemies, sure. But you want to know what I can't do without this next pick with my enemies that I spot down there?

[Jason]

Oh, no. You're on right now.

[Andy]

I'm getting a slingshot.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Jason]

We've been up the greatest decision.

[Andy]

I'm up there. You don't know where it's coming from.

[Mike]

It was the wrong version of the pick, but, yeah, you ruined. My last pick was the water balloon sling.

[Jason]

I had water balloons.

[Andy]

Sure.

[Mike]

A slingshot. No, you need. No, no, no. You need. It's. It's posted on the window. And this is. You can pull it all the way back. You're saying you're talking this. This thing could cover 100ft easily, but you have a regular boring slingshot.

[Jason]

I thought about it.

[Andy]

Come on. Come on by, see if.

[Mike]

Yeah, well, it's still gonna hurt me.

[Jason]

I thought about a BB gun. Other ones that I had on here.

[Andy]

Mike still. Yeah.

[Mike]

Now I got to finish without my water.

[Jason]

You didn't take the water balloon thing?

[Mike]

No, because he took a slingshot.

[Jason]

I thought you took it.

[Mike]

It's too close. So let's see here. With my last pick, it's more. Hey, it's a sentimental pick. At the end of the day, at the end of the years.

[Andy]

You want photos of mom?

[Mike]

No.

[Andy]

Oh, okay.

[Mike]

But you want to know who's been up in the. In the treehouse.

[Jason]

Okay.

[Mike]

You want your autograph wall man.

[Jason]

If you've been up in this architectural.

[Mike]

If you have come and done your time inside, you sign the wall, okay? You let people know.

[Andy]

Do they sign it with a marker? Do they carve it into the wood like they got a. Yeah.

[Jason]

Do you get the wall or the.

[Mike]

I'm just going to Sharpie, okay? I don't have 10 years for them.

[Andy]

Hurry up already.

[Mike]

Can't believe you took slingshot.

[Jason]

I almost drafted the no trespassing sign. Or the secret club sign.

[Andy]

No parents allowed sign.

[Mike]

He man. Woman haters club.

[Jason]

The Bluetooth speaker. I thought Mike might take.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Jason]

For listening to some music up there.

[Mike]

I didn't want to go too modern.

[Andy]

On my list was the can. The tin can string. But you took walkie talkies, which is just better. But, like, I feel like OG at one point in time. That. That was a pretty cool thing. Before our time.

[Jason]

Does that work?

[Mike]

I mean, a little bit.

[Jason]

Okay.

[Andy]

A little bit more than the water.

[Jason]

Yell loud enough, it works.

[Mike]

Well, I had a hammock.

[Jason]

Oh, that's not bad.

[Andy]

I feel like that's down on the ground or. I mean, it's obviously not on the

[Mike]

ground, but you don't want to.

[Andy]

You don't want to hammock inside the tree.

[Mike]

Nowhere to lay down or sit in

[Jason]

your tree house Would have worked.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Jason]

Sleeping bag would have been good.

[Andy]

I've got an old radio.

[Jason]

Just.

[Andy]

And then just games.

[Mike]

What about a new radio?

[Andy]

This. Tree houses are old.

[Jason]

Oh, yeah. Board games.

[Andy]

Yeah, just board games. You've got at least comic books to read, something to do.

[Jason]

I thought about the BB gum, but I feel like that's a little much.

[Mike]

Well, you got the slingshot. Yeah. I had a Murphy bed.

[Andy]

Murphy bed.

[Mike]

Well, maybe you want to sleep, but maybe you want to save space.

[Jason]

My treehouse sounds sick.

[Andy]

Your treehouse is humongous. It's a three bedroom.

[Jason]

It is like with a hammock in one room.

[Mike]

You can't fit just a regular single box.

[Jason]

Mike.

[Andy]

You can't fit a regular bed, but you can fit a Murphy bed.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Eventually it's got to come down.

[Jason]

We were growing up. The Murphy beds were heavy, but his, they can get them right up.

[Mike]

Yeah, well, that one, no, that one's a little bit more of a problem. We use bags. Stand by it.

[Andy]

What did we learn today?

[Jason]

Oh, I mean, I honestly, I feel like I learned that Jason knows how to build a nice tree house. I kind of want to hang out at his place.

[Andy]

Thank you.

[Jason]

It's pretty good.

[Mike]

I learned that you guys don't know how much a beanbag weighs.

[Jason]

It's not an easy thing for a kid to get up a ladder.

[Mike]

I'm not buying my beanbags at whatever Lovesac or whatever that store is.

[Jason]

Beanbags were hard for kids to lift the song above your head.

[Andy]

No, they're not on a rope ladder.

[Mike]

It's fine.

[Jason]

People know.

[Mike]

Goodbye.

[Jason]

Goodbye.

[Andy]
