Dragon Diarrhea & Children's Book Character Battle Royale - Spit Hits! - Comedy Podcast

Summary

Podcast Summary: Spitballers Comedy Podcast – “Dragon Diarrhea & Children's Book Character Battle Royale”

Episode 324 | February 26, 2026
Hosts: Andy, Mike, Jason

Main Theme

This episode, true to the Spitballers' signature blend of PG-friendly absurdity and quick wit, revolves around the hosts exploring far-fetched “Would You Rather” scenarios, untangling the subtle (and not so subtle) differences between similar words, and ultimately drafting a team of children’s book characters for a hilarious “battle royale.” The result is a rollicking hour of playful debate, family-safe banter, and memorable one-liners, with recurring allusions to dragons, poop jokes, and the limits of sarcasm.

Key Discussion Points & Timestamps

1. Would You Rather: Cheetah Speed or Gorilla Strength?

[02:48 – 09:54]

• Prompt: “Would you rather have the speed of a cheetah, but only when barefoot, or the strength of a gorilla, but only when holding a balloon (inflated)?”

• Debate Over Cheetah Speed

  • Concerns about injury: “If I could run that fast barefoot, how do I not injure myself?” – Josh [03:12]
  • Realizations about practicality (grass, beach): “Pretty much you get to run fast in grass.” – Andy [03:49]
  • Fun applications (racing, errands): “I’d race people once … like the end of Incredibles with Dash.” – Andy [05:26]

• Gorilla Strength & Balloon Logistics

  • Strength facts: “A silverback can lift over £4,000 on a bench press.” – Mike [07:02]
  • Strategies for holding the balloon: loopholing with deflated balloons until it’s clarified must be inflated.

• Hosts’ Picks:

  • Andy: Gorilla strength (“I’ll use strength far more often than I would sprint anywhere.”) [08:13]
  • Mike: Swayed to gorilla after discussion [09:10]
  • Josh: Values escape speed; imagines outrunning a bear [08:25]

2. Would You Rather: Flawless Writing or Speak Any Accent?

[09:54 – 12:18]

• “Would you rather be able to write flawlessly in any font, or speak in any accent (but not language)?”

  • Writing ability dismissed as mostly a novelty (“It’s the stupidest thing ever… it looks like I typed this up.” – Andy [10:48])
  • Accents seen as more useful/funny (“You sound smarter. People take you more seriously… If I was a judge, I’d believe whatever he says.” – Josh [10:19 & 10:41])
  • Mike teases Andy: “You kind of look like a Comic Sans guy.” [11:24]

• Demo time: Josh attempts Scottish & Schwarzenegger accents to the delight of the group. [12:13–12:36]

3. Would You Rather: “Always Lying” vs. “Always Sarcastic”

[12:37 – 16:43]

• “Would you rather people think you are always lying or always being sarcastic (even when you’re not)?”
  • Both are social nightmares, but lying is worse.
  • Mike: “It is a massive problem at my house right now… All three of my kids… have to stop and say, guys, not everything has to be a sarcastic remark.” [12:56–13:19]
  • Discussion of “embellishing” vs “lying” [14:01–15:05]
  • They agree: perpetual sarcasm is better; at least some people might still enjoy your company.

4. Being a Dragon … or Having Two!

[16:49 – 24:30]

• “Would you rather have the ability to become a dragon at will, or summon two dragons under your control?”
  • Extended, hilarious debate over logistics (dragon sizes, types, feeding needs).
  • Andy wants to become a dragon for flight (“I want to feel the wind beneath my wings!”) [21:43]
  • Josh chooses summoning: “You get two dragon friends. You get companionship, you get a friend.” [18:45]
  • Pros/cons involve cost of feeding, public reaction, team-up opportunities, and—of course—poop: “If I am the dragon, I can aim that thing.” – Andy [22:39]
  • Laughter over “dragon diarrhea” and whether dragons incinerate their own waste or spray it from the sky [23:00]
  • Verdict: Andy and Mike would rather BE the dragon, Josh wants to summon two.

5. What’s the Difference? (Word Distinctions Segment)

[27:09 – 40:55]

Short, punchy segments with rapid-fire (and silly) distinctions between:

• Craving vs. Wanting vs. Needing [27:11]
  • Cravings = privilege, wanting = desire, needing = requirement for survival
• Robot vs. Android vs. Cyborg [28:51]
  • Android = humanoid robot; Cyborg = organic & mechanical hybrid; “All androids are robots, not all robots are androids.” – Andy [29:31]
• Sanitizing vs. Disinfecting vs. Decontaminating [31:14]
  • Disinfect: kill infections; sanitize: get rid of germs before infection; decontaminate: handle “gross” or hazardous stuff (poop, pee, throw-up, etc.)
• Catchphrase vs. Motto vs. Slogan [35:29]
  • Catchphrase: individual, Motto: guiding principle, Slogan: commercial/organizational tagline
• Remembering vs. Recalling vs. Reminiscing [37:54]
  • Reminiscing is always positive/nostalgic, “good old days”; recalling is more effortful or pointed; remembering is more general.

6. Draft: Children’s Book Character Battle Royale

[42:09 – 1:01:36]

Setup: Each host drafts a team composed of famous children’s book characters to “battle” each other.

• Selection Order and Notable Picks:
  • Mike: Big Bad Wolf, Grinch, Matilda, Charlotte the Spider
    • Big, bad, and mischievous. Matilda brings telekinesis; Charlotte brings stealth and webs.
  • Andy (Jason): Cat in the Hat, Lorax, Big Friendly Giant (BFG), Little Engine That Could
    • Chaos, magic, environmental power, brute force, plus a possibly trackless locomotive.
  • Josh: Clifford the Big Red Dog, a Wild Thing (from “Where the Wild Things Are”), Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly, Tigger
    • Clifford for raw size, Wild Thing for monster toughness, the Old Lady for her insatiable consumption (“She swallowed a wolf and a Grinch and she’ll swallow a Lorax for sure!” [54:17]), and Tigger for energetic chaos.

- Hilarious arguments about the usefulness or effectiveness of:

• The Cat in the Hat’s magic (“Is it the cat or the hat?”)
• Whether the Little Engine can function without tracks
• Ferdinand the Bull being pacifist by definition (“He’s just going to lay down, I can’t take it!” [53:06])
• Summoning accidental chaos (Tigger and Clifford running amok)
• Charlotte’s standby plan of unleashing thousands of baby spiders

Notable Quotes & Moments

• “If you could transform into an eagle or summon one dragon, which would you choose?” – Josh [21:52]
• “Now, if I am the dragon, I can aim that thing. I can go right over Andy's house … your pool's gonna get destroyed.” – Andy [22:39]
• “Saying words funny is really underrated and we need to do it more.” – Mike [13:00]
• “A craving is something you have the privilege to crave. A man without food or water does not crave.” – Josh [27:57]
• “If you recall something, is it infallible? … You cannot recall something wrong.” – Andy & Josh [39:43–39:45]
• “I will be taking Matilda.” – Mike [50:40] (telekinesis as her secret weapon)
• “Bricks is not a character in a children’s book, Mike!” – Josh (on blocking the Wolf) [53:41]
• “I’m gonna go so small your giant dog won’t be an issue … I’m taking Charlotte.” – Mike [57:58]
• On the Old Lady: “She swallowed a wolf and a Grinch and she’ll swallow a Lorax for sure.” – Josh [54:17]
• “I think you did the right thing with a train.” – Josh (blessingly sarcastic) [60:33]

---

Memorable, Laugh-Out-Loud Moments

• The extended tangent about dragon poop, including creative use of “dragon diarrhea,” and attempting to aim as a tactical weapon [22:39–23:23]
• Scottish, Australian, and Schwarzenegger accent attempts [12:08–12:36]
• The group’s struggle to cleanly separate “recall” from “remember,” culminating in Andy and Mike building a theory that “if you recall, it’s infallible” [39:43–39:45]
• The playful rivalry over the Eurocentric idea of “dragon” vs. Chinese dragon departure [19:59–21:41]

---

Overall Tone & Style

The episode is exuberant, fast-paced, self-aware, and packed with the trio’s signature tone: friendly, mischievous, dad-humor-infused but intelligent. They delight in overanalyzing silly hypotheticals, wordplay, and invoking vivid, ridiculous mental images (dragon poop, battle-royale children’s heroes). Occasional self-roasting and running gags (Mike’s questions, Andy’s font snobbery, Josh’s “lying” skills) keep the energy high.

---

Final Takeaways

If you love clean, quick-witted banter where zero topic is too silly for deep analysis, Spitballers never disappoints.
This episode offers a perfect blend of playful argument, random life “advice,” and just enough surreal imagery (dragons, balloons, and battling book characters) to leave you grinning all week.

[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. Crooner.

[Josh]

All right. I don't even know if I would call that crooner.

[Andy]

No, I don't know what I. I'll be honest. Before the Spitball, I never heard the term crooner in my life. And then Mike brought it up once.

[Josh]

I mean, would you call that crooner? Mike?

[Mike]

Yes.

[Josh]

Okay, there you go. It's Crooner.

[Andy]

If you settle.

[Mike]

If you saw me driving with a hat and a cigar, you'd be like,

[Josh]

yeah, that's how you sound.

[Mike]

That's the driving crooner.

[Josh]

It was just pretty is buttery.

[Mike]

They're all smooth. And that was the thing.

[Josh]

Welcome in to The Spitballers, episode 324. Would you rather. What's the difference in a battle royale on today's show?

[Andy]

Well, going to murder you.

[Josh]

We'll let you know what it is in a little while.

[Mike]

Just don't look at the title.

[Josh]

Don't look at the title of the show. Add Spitballers Pot over on X. Let's kick it off.

[Andy]

Would you rather.

[Josh]

Would you rather have the speed of a cheetah, but only when barefoot? Okay. Or the strength of a gorilla, but only when you're holding a balloon? This is a really weird one. It's a really weird one.

[Andy]

You're. We're batting lead off with this.

[Josh]

Here's the. Here's the truth of the cheetah one. That would be the pick. Except if I could run that fast barefoot, how do I not injure myself?

[Andy]

You would injure your feet.

[Josh]

Because I like, I just don't think our feet as humans are as durable as a cheetah's feet. Like, I could not.

[Andy]

You don't have a paw.

[Josh]

Right. Like, when I run.

[Mike]

Tendons are not made for.

[Josh]

I'm not worried about my tendons.

[Andy]

You're worried about the speed.

[Josh]

I'm assuming the tendons are going to come part and parcel with the speed of a cheetah. It's all going to work. I'm worried about stepping on glass or stepping on a rod, anything like that. I can't see where I'm going. Ever run that fast?

[Andy]

It's pretty much you get to run fast in grass. Like, that's like, where else is there a comfortable enough plush footing that you can run long distances?

[Mike]

Oh, yeah.

[Josh]

Would you be okay at the beach?

[Mike]

Yeah, sure. Yeah, it should be fine. And the chance of stepping on something

[Andy]

at the beach, on a track, I will say this. It could be really valuable at the beach because sometimes you go to the beach in the summer, it's like, oh, I'm off.

[Josh]

Yeah. If you run that fast, do you feel heat underneath your feet?

[Andy]

I'm gonna say no.

[Josh]

I don't think no.

[Mike]

Average speed is 40 miles an hour.

[Josh]

That's a cheetah.

[Andy]

Holy moly.

[Josh]

I thought it was 60.

[Mike]

Well, no, that's the average. Their top speeds, they can go 65 to.

[Josh]

Dude.

[Mike]

Running. Running even 40. Running 40 miles an hour.

[Josh]

That would be awesome. The cheetah was by far my favorite animal growing up because of that speed. So cool.

[Andy]

It's fun. But see, a cheetah lives out in the wild and has to go hunt things. Where would we ever. You like, let's say you could run. You can just run with shoes on. Okay, new question. You got shoes on. You can run 40 miles an hour. When you just decide to sprint, you could sprint 40 miles an hour.

[Josh]

Would I run to work?

[Andy]

Where would you. Where would you use this?

[Josh]

Would I run to work?

[Andy]

No, it's not like you're not going to sweat.

[Josh]

Would I. Would you Run just like for your like, local shopping.

[Andy]

Like how fast I can do this in the grocery store. Check me out.

[Mike]

No, I just be racing people.

[Andy]

I'd race people. I'd race people once.

[Josh]

Cuz it would be like, nah, do

[Andy]

you don't want to raise this guy? What do you try.

[Mike]

But once I could. You think I can't. I don't have to run 40. I can run just barely faster than you. You ever. It's like the end of Incredibles when that. When Dash is running, they're like, go, go, go. No, too fast, too fast. Okay, now go.

[Andy]

What's.

[Josh]

What's with the gorilla holding a balloon?

[Mike]

Because situation. I mean, you're essentially one. You have one arm then.

[Josh]

So if you're holding a balloon, you've

[Mike]

got one very strong.

[Andy]

You got a little bit more than one arm.

[Josh]

I don't really know why you're holding the balloon.

[Andy]

If you're holding the balloon. I could still use, you know, I could hold. I guess if you have a balloon with like two fingers.

[Mike]

What do you call that thing there?

[Andy]

The string.

[Mike]

No, no, no, no. If I. When you try a balloon. And then there's the little floppy, rubbery belly button.

[Andy]

I like. These are called a tag. Tag. Makes sense. I knew what you meant. Like a skin tag. Yeah, but that can't be right.

[Josh]

I don't think it matters.

[Andy]

The balloon hole.

[Mike]

Bananas.

[Josh]

Look, if you.

[Andy]

I'm on it.

[Mike]

No.

[Josh]

Is the gorilla's strength so amazing?

[Mike]

Yes.

[Josh]

That it would change my life.

[Sponsor Voice]

Balloonist.

[Mike]

Thank you, Jeremy. I knew I said it wrong. Yeah. Gorillas are crazy strong.

[Josh]

I want to know how much compared to a human, can they lift? I mean, are they picking up.

[Andy]

I'm on it.

[Josh]

Are they picking up cars?

[Mike]

No.

[Josh]

Okay, so we got. Some are below picking up cars.

[Andy]

That's stupid.

[Josh]

I'm guessing they're not that strong.

[Andy]

It's called a neck.

[Josh]

Oh, you're looking up the.

[Andy]

Yeah, the balloon. I want to. I want a fun name.

[Josh]

The neck.

[Andy]

Some people may refer to it as the nozzle. That's a little better.

[Josh]

Nozzles good.

[Andy]

Nozzle's good.

[Mike]

Okay, what if I told you grab

[Josh]

it by the nozzle?

[Mike]

Let's see. So the. The strongest human weight lifters can only lift around £885. I'm not sure which exercise we're talking about where a silverback could lift. Oh, a silverback can lift over £4,000 on a bench press.

[Josh]

What?

[Andy]

£4,000?

[Josh]

They get them into bench presses.

[Andy]

I want to see. Yeah. How are they. How are they Testing this.

[Josh]

So then the book Congo. Anybody ever read the book Congo?

[Andy]

I saw the movie.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Josh]

The movie's awful.

[Andy]

Wasn't good.

[Mike]

But that's why I didn't read the book.

[Josh]

But they. The gorillas would crush the skulls of the people.

[Mike]

Yeah, I bet they could do that.

[Josh]

So they could probably do that.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Andy]

I cannot take £4,000 of pressure.

[Josh]

They could just pop your skull and your. So I can do that with one hand. Do I get one hand of strength then?

[Mike]

Well, I mean, Jason's right. You can still have two hands. I was imagining, like, holding it like a football.

[Andy]

No, I think you just. You can't let go of the balloon, but you've got it. I mean, it's like you've got.

[Mike]

Oh, man, that would be a bummer.

[Andy]

You're in the middle of lifting something, and you drop the balloon and comes crashing down on you.

[Josh]

Yeah, that's fair. I mean, this might be the one time on a serious show like this where this question is too stupid for me to answer.

[Andy]

I'm going to go with the gorilla.

[Josh]

Okay.

[Andy]

Because I think I'll be able to use most of one hand, all of the other, and I'll use strength far more often than I would sprint anywhere.

[Josh]

I think knowing that you can actually escape anything would be valuable, because if you were out hiking or something and an animal came, you literally remember, they're like, don't run from a bear. No, I can run from a bear.

[Andy]

Wait, you're out hiking barefoot? Yeah, because have fun running 40 miles an hour on the mountainside.

[Josh]

I'm building my calluses up. If I know I have this super ability.

[Andy]

Just every day you're walking on the wall, barefoot, everything. Yeah, yeah.

[Mike]

I'll have this on the plus side,

[Andy]

if you're the gorilla, I'll just grab the animal coming at me and crush it.

[Mike]

You will always have balloons on you.

[Andy]

That's true.

[Mike]

Learn how to balloon animal.

[Andy]

They'll call me. Well, Mr. Balloon.

[Mike]

Why is that guy who's got a balloon? It's Mr.

[Andy]

Balloon. Yeah. No.

[Josh]

Which one did you go, Mike?

[Andy]

Not my.

[Mike]

I think Jason. Jason talked me into the gorilla.

[Josh]

Oh, my God.

[Mike]

I'm just. I'm balloons everywhere.

[Josh]

Grady from the website. Would you rather be able to write fly?

[Andy]

Does it say. Does it say that the balloon has to be inflated? Did it say it? Oh, because I can loophole this. I'll put a balloon right on my finger. Yeah, baby. I'm super strong. Don't take the balloon off my finger.

[Josh]

Is a balloon a balloon? If it's not inflated.

[Andy]

Yes. Yeah. I'll buy a bag of balloons. Inflated balloon.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Yeah. There's no other name for it. I got. Who. Who submitted this question.

[Josh]

That just doesn't feel like we don't know. Oh, it does say inflate it. It says inflated.

[Andy]

Oh, it does, yeah.

[Mike]

Oh, it's in big letters. Did you change that?

[Josh]

Yeah, I did. Grady from the website, would you rather be able to write flawlessly in any font?

[Mike]

That's pretty cool.

[Andy]

Wait, so handwrite in any font or

[Josh]

speak in any accent but not the language, just the accent?

[Mike]

Are we talking like I'm speaking English, but I will then have an accent?

[Andy]

Yeah. So you. You can speak in a Scottish accent. You can speak in a British accent.

[Josh]

If you have a British accent, you sound smarter. People take you more seriously many times.

[Andy]

I would say most of the time. I would say the vast majority of the time. So maybe not overseas, but in America.

[Josh]

If I was a judge in a courtroom and I had two lawyers and one has the British accent.

[Andy]

I trust.

[Josh]

Guilty.

[Andy]

I trust.

[Josh]

Whatever he says, I believe.

[Mike]

Yeah, I get that.

[Josh]

So here's the Pierce Brosnan.

[Andy]

Here's the problem with the handwriting. The handwriting flawlessly in any font is the stupidest thing ever, and let me tell you why. At the end, it looks like I typed this up.

[Josh]

Yes, it does. Yes, it does.

[Andy]

All I did was slowly type it up. In the end, I'm ending with a printed piece of paper.

[Josh]

I had the same thing, except it

[Andy]

took me four times as long. I can type, like, 100 words a minute.

[Josh]

Right?

[Andy]

I could write.

[Mike]

Just type. Or, like, you could write real big. You could do something on the wall.

[Josh]

Can you imagine if you just scribbled on a little notepad and handed me, like, a little Comic Sans note? How stupid.

[Andy]

I would never. I would never.

[Josh]

I'm a Comic Sans guy.

[Andy]

Don't you put that evil on me.

[Mike]

I don't know. You kind of look like a Comic Sans guy.

[Andy]

If you gonna be insulting, at least go like Impact. Don't Comic Sans.

[Mike]

What's wrong with Impact?

[Andy]

Impact is still a low. It's a low tier.

[Mike]

Impact is the meme font.

[Josh]

Okay.

[Mike]

Papyrus.

[Josh]

Oh, Papyrus.

[Mike]

I'm not Avatar.

[Andy]

Yeah, no, I'm. I'm Avenir. Next. Okay, that's my font.

[Josh]

That's not bad.

[Mike]

I don't even know the name.

[Josh]

We all know I'm Helvetica. I'm something boring.

[Andy]

Maybe times New Roman.

[Josh]

Yeah, Times old times. I'm Times old Roman.

[Mike]

Just insulting people.

[Josh]

I'll do the accent. I Think that that's just more exciting.

[Andy]

Well, you do a pretty good Scottish accent.

[Josh]

No, no.

[Andy]

You do. Watch. Listen, spitwads. Want to hear it?

[Josh]

Something to say.

[Andy]

Okay. So Scottish. Yeah. You want to. You want to.

[Josh]

Freedom.

[Andy]

Perfect.

[Mike]

There you go. Yeah, that's what he said.

[Josh]

Oh, boy.

[Andy]

You don't even need that one.

[Josh]

Ian from Patreon.

[Andy]

Remember your Australian actress?

[Josh]

Throw another shrimp on the bobby.

[Andy]

Do your Schwarzenegger drown? Get out of chopper.

[Josh]

Get down.

[Mike]

Yeah, that's much better.

[Andy]

Oh, sorry, Andy.

[Mike]

Get down.

[Josh]

Ian, for Patreon. Would you rather people think you are always lying or always being sarcastic even when you're not? Oh, man, I've run into the second one before. This was an actual problem for me in high school. Like an intervention level problem.

[Mike]

It is a massive problem at my house right now.

[Josh]

The sarcasm.

[Mike]

Yeah, My kids. Oh, I love it.

[Josh]

The sarcasm.

[Andy]

Dude.

[Mike]

Saying words funny is really underrated and we need to do it more. No, but, like, all three of my kids, like, literally the last few days, I've had to stop and say, guys, not everything has to be a sarcastic remark. I just.

[Josh]

Boy, who had wolf situation where I'm

[Mike]

like, hey, like, do you want some water?

[Andy]

Do you.

[Mike]

Do I look like I want some water? Like, oh, my God. Just answer the question. Just answer the question, man. You're driving me nuts.

[Andy]

I look like a fish. Yeah.

[Mike]

Oh, gosh. But sarcasm.

[Andy]

But if you always. If people always think that you're lying, that is way, way worse. I mean, you can't.

[Josh]

But then you just lie, which, I mean, sarcastic. You might be interpreted as a butthole.

[Andy]

Yes, yes.

[Josh]

But liar is.

[Andy]

You're interpreted as a liar. That is the thing.

[Josh]

Unless it's like a playful thing. Like, some people playfully lie all the time, Josh, you know?

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Where they're just like, I think that's embellishing. See, that's not lying.

[Andy]

No, I know.

[Josh]

If you believe. But if you believe it.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Andy]

If you believe facts about yourself that are wrong, is that embellishing or lying? I think it's embellishing either. Really?

[Josh]

If you believe it's true, lying has to have intent. Right?

[Andy]

Right.

[Mike]

So it's not lying. It's embellishing.

[Josh]

I don't even.

[Andy]

Embellishing doesn't have to have.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Really?

[Mike]

Yeah. When you embellish something, you're like, I'm trying to make it sound better than it is.

[Josh]

But what if you believe it in your own.

[Andy]

You don't think that you could be embellishing something unknown to you? Like, that I could accidentally embellish you could.

[Mike]

I guess you could.

[Andy]

Can you accidentally lie? No, not really. Because lying to you,

[Josh]

it's an act.

[Mike]

You can accidentally not tell the truth.

[Josh]

I don't think you can accidentally embellish.

[Andy]

Okay, well, we've gone full circle here.

[Josh]

Yeah, maybe.

[Andy]

Yeah. You'd all be a liar.

[Josh]

That would be misremembered.

[Andy]

If you were known as a liar.

[Mike]

That would. That sucks.

[Andy]

And no one can trust you. No one around you can trust you. I feel like people would just call me Falcon. You know what I mean? They'd be like, I can't. Untrustworthy. A schemer. I have to be really careful around this person Now, Josh, you still your money.

[Josh]

You can't play any social deception games because you get voted out.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Does that mean because you're too convincing?

[Andy]

Yes. Oh, he's too good. He's the best. I'm the best at social. This is the embellishment.

[Josh]

It's becoming a real thing, man.

[Mike]

I can't do this because I'm the best.

[Andy]

I can't even play those games. Too good. I'm too good at these games, everybody. I'm not allowed. My friends won't let me play.

[Josh]

Oh, man.

[Andy]

Oh, man. Wait, you gotta go. I feel like he's red right now. Or. Can we. Yeah, there you go. Yes. Perfect.

[Josh]

If you're watching the Spitballers podcast on

[Andy]

YouTube, he took all of the falcon. He took the brunt of the falcon

[Mike]

jokes because we were at lunch and Josh was embellishing. Well, no, Josh. Josh was just being Josh. But then we brought it to his attention how much he is actually Josh. And. And he decided that he's like, I don't want to do that anymore.

[Andy]

Oh, he can't stop it. He can't stop it. It's just who he is, man.

[Josh]

I'm trying that. Maybe you could be, like, a playful liar. Like, if everybody knows that you're the goofball that always lies, maybe that could be.

[Mike]

I mean.

[Andy]

I mean, we're all going to take the sarcasm.

[Josh]

Yeah, I'm trying.

[Mike]

It doesn't matter.

[Andy]

Either way.

[Mike]

You have no friends if you're either of those people.

[Josh]

That's fair. Leslie submits this question to us from the website. Would you rather have the ability to become a dragon?

[Mike]

Oh, here we go.

[Josh]

At will.

[Andy]

Yes.

[Josh]

Which sounds awesome.

[Andy]

It's awesome.

[Josh]

Or be able to summon two dragons at will, completely under your control.

[Mike]

Adult dragons.

[Andy]

So under

[Mike]

this matters, of course.

[Andy]

Adult dragons.

[Mike]

What do you mean?

[Andy]

I just said dragons. It would specify.

[Josh]

You don't.

[Andy]

You don't Ever say adult dragon? You just say dragon. You say baby dragon.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andy]

If you just say a dragon.

[Josh]

Of course they're adults.

[Andy]

Oh, I got you. I said dragon, but it was.

[Josh]

Are we adolescent?

[Andy]

It's an egg.

[Josh]

Adolescent.

[Mike]

Just saying. When you're talking to a genie, you gotta be very specific.

[Andy]

All three dragons. So the two that you could summon or the one that you become are all adults.

[Mike]

Are you a human sized. Okay, no, no. You're becoming a.

[Andy]

You're not, you're just. You are full on dragon.

[Josh]

Okay, but here's the thing. This is a very, very definitive answer for me.

[Andy]

I think it is for me too. But I'm curious if anyone's on the other side so that they can convince me.

[Josh]

Well, we may be on the opposite.

[Mike]

I have more dragon questions.

[Josh]

I will 100%. I want the two dragons.

[Andy]

Oh, I am on the other side.

[Josh]

I get to fly because I'm flying on a dragon.

[Andy]

Sure. Don't fall off. I know.

[Josh]

No, I won't. Because every single person in the history

[Andy]

they'll catch with their what? Mouth that they're giant.

[Mike]

They'll fly under.

[Josh]

I've got a backup dragon to catch me. He could fly underneath the other dragon at all times. Come catch me.

[Andy]

I'm sure if you fell off the first dragon, flying at 45 miles an

[Josh]

hour is falling off the dragon 100%. Every movie, every show, every book.

[Andy]

I know.

[Josh]

There aren't people plummeting to their desks off of dragons. They're just fine.

[Andy]

Look, Daenerys makes it look easy, but that's fake this.

[Josh]

You don't know how to train your dragon.

[Andy]

Okay, I'm just saying, you get companionship,

[Josh]

you get a friend.

[Mike]

Yeah, you do friends.

[Josh]

You get two dragon friends.

[Andy]

You know how much money it's gonna cost?

[Mike]

Yeah, they eat a lot of dragons.

[Josh]

That's fine. I'm pretty sure they can find food.

[Andy]

They're dragons.

[Mike]

They can. But then eventually they figure out, the people figure out they're your dragons.

[Andy]

Yeah, they're gonna come run after you. Where's my cattle? Pay me for my cattle. They're gone.

[Josh]

Yeah, well, then the dragons eat them. It's fine. I'm in power. I'm good.

[Mike]

So now you understand what happened with Daenerys.

[Andy]

Yes. And now people are sick of losing their village. Dragon King. I'm the Dragon King and you're the Dolphin King. And then people start attacking your dragons. Eventually the people will kill the dragons.

[Josh]

Better them than killing me, the dragon.

[Andy]

Well, when it's you, the dragon, you could choose to not eat people.

[Mike]

Yeah. And you can choose to.

[Josh]

You know that people, when dragons come around, they don't let. They don't go, oh, I wonder if it's a nice dragon. They go, let's kill the dragon. That's what happens.

[Mike]

This is what I was asking. I said I had more dragon questions.

[Josh]

All right, give me your dragon question.

[Mike]

Which dragons are we talking about here? Because dragons in like. Like in Chinese lore, whatever kind ChatGPT

[Josh]

would create out of a picture. If you said, show me a dragon.

[Andy]

Yeah. And we're not talking Chinese dragons. Euro dragons.

[Mike]

And then there's.

[Josh]

Yeah, they're not the long ones with people inside.

[Mike]

Why not?

[Josh]

Because that's not a dragon, Mike.

[Mike]

It is a dragon.

[Andy]

It is a dragon.

[Josh]

If I say you're a giant lion in the middle of the. In the middle of the plains, you don't go, is it a mountain lion? You just. You know what it is.

[Andy]

Everyone does. Know what? When we say a dragon. You know what?

[Josh]

No one here pictured a Chinese dragon.

[Andy]

Daenerys was not riding a Chinese dragon like we've been talking about. I will say that there's.

[Mike]

I have questions.

[Andy]

There is a lot. It is less likely that a Chinese dragon would need to be murdered.

[Mike]

Yeah, they're. They're nice, right?

[Andy]

Magical.

[Josh]

I'm summoning these two dragons at will, which means I can unsummon them, which means I don't have to feed them.

[Mike]

Well, do they eat when they're unsummoned? Where do they go?

[Josh]

They're always full when I summon them.

[Andy]

Yeah, I think that's.

[Mike]

You're gonna see reports on news like, village raided again. 20 more humans are gone.

[Andy]

I think. I think Andy's right there. If you. If you summon them and then, you know, disappear them, it's like a pokeball. Yeah. They're just coming back at full strength. They're just sleeping and filling their meters while they're in another world.

[Josh]

Smoke and stack, get out here.

[Andy]

So I was on the I want to become a dragon side because I want to fly. Okay. You could say, oh, I get to fly. You can do that now. You could jump out of an airplane. You could fly in an airplane. I've flown at 30,000ft.

[Mike]

Yeah, well, you're not doing the fly in.

[Andy]

Oh, okay. Well, I'm not doing the fly in if I'm riding on a dragon, either.

[Mike]

I thought you were talking about you wanted to turn into a dragon.

[Andy]

No, I'm saying I do. I want to turn into a dragon because I want to fly. I want to feel the wind beneath my wings.

[Josh]

If you could transform into an eagle or summon one dragon, which would you choose?

[Andy]

Oh, it would be a dragon.

[Josh]

So the wind beneath your wings is only a partial?

[Andy]

Yeah, I mean, that's just, like, if we're talking dragons, I'd rather be one than summon one, but summoning two, I don't know. Is there any real advantage? Not unless I'm in, like, going to

[Josh]

war to have more than one dragon.

[Andy]

Yeah, like, where would I be? Like, man, that dragon I summoned, he just couldn't. Why would you need. If only I had two dragons.

[Josh]

Why would anybody need two dragons?

[Andy]

War. I mean, like, then. Okay, I've got an army to defeat.

[Josh]

I guess a backup dragon in case one gets sick.

[Andy]

Oh, can I or has to poop or something? Oh, yeah, you don't want to be under a dragon poop.

[Mike]

Goodness.

[Andy]

Now, if I am the dragon, I can aim that thing.

[Mike]

Yep.

[Andy]

I can go right over Andy's house. Be like, you're thinking, your pool's gonna get destroyed.

[Josh]

The benefit of you becoming a dragon

[Andy]

is pooping is just with dragon scat, laying a bomb. And you're.

[Josh]

That's a good nickname.

[Andy]

I'm emptying your pool. Like, yeah, I'm gonna be up top going cannonball.

[Mike]

Is there.

[Josh]

I mean, do we have precedent on dragon. Do we know if they don't just incinerate, like, they might just incinerate their.

[Andy]

Their poop.

[Josh]

Their waste.

[Mike]

Oh, internal fires in the mouth. Yeah, it's not in the.

[Andy]

If you watch.

[Josh]

What if a dragon eats chipotle, though? It's not just in the mouth.

[Mike]

Well, then it's gonna diarrhea. Yeah, you got a real big problem.

[Andy]

Now I get to spray it around even further.

[Josh]

How did we get here? How did we get here?

[Andy]

Yeah, I'm definitely becoming the dragon because of the poop me. Over the top.

[Josh]

Final answer, or do you have more questions?

[Mike]

My questions are limitless.

[Andy]

Not all about Chinese dragons, dude.

[Mike]

They're awesome. They're cool dragons.

[Josh]

Nobody's. Nobody's saying that other dragon versions are bad. We're just saying that people know what a dragon is.

[Andy]

Yeah, that's all.

[Josh]

That's all we're saying.

[Andy]

I don't think your original thought when it was like, you could turn into a dragon and you went, hold up. I mean, you did. You were like an adult.

[Mike]

Yeah, I got people. People have questions.

[Josh]

They have questions.

[Mike]

I will. I'm going to turn into a dragon.

[Josh]

Okay. It wouldn't be bad.

[Andy]

My man. Let's fly around together. Poop on Andy's house.

[Josh]

Are you giving people rides?

[Mike]

No.

[Josh]

Neither do you.

[Mike]

No.

[Josh]

If you could become a dragon, you're not giving a ride.

[Andy]

Well, I mean, for money, I will absolutely give rides.

[Josh]

Oh, for like, for money.

[Andy]

But the thing is, is that means I could turn away from being a dragon.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Andy]

At any time.

[Josh]

Oh, no. So I could just take and drop them.

[Andy]

Yeah. And then turn back into a dragon. Sorry. Want me to catch you now? Flying.

[Josh]

Oh, man. All right, we'll take a break. Got another segment for you, whether you like it or not.

What is the difference between lying? Oh, gosh.

[Andy]

Okay.

[Josh]

Embellishing.

[Andy]

Embellishing.

[Josh]

Now, what is the difference between a. Between craving, wanting and needing?

[Andy]

Okay, craving is specific.

[Mike]

Craving is what we have wants and need in here. And you're starting with a different one. Want versus need is the easiest layup of all time.

[Andy]

Well, then this will entirely be the easiest layup of all time.

[Mike]

Yeah, I think it. I think it's all easy. Go ahead.

[Andy]

Well, I mean, craving is only for one thing.

[Josh]

Wait, what?

[Andy]

You crave something specific. Oh, I'm craving chocolate.

[Mike]

But you crave a want. Can you crave a need?

[Andy]

No, I mean, you could crave a need. I'm craving water.

[Josh]

No, you can't crave water. You can't crave water.

[Andy]

You can't crave water.

[Josh]

No, a craving is a luxury.

[Andy]

Ooh.

[Josh]

A craving is something you have the privilege to crave. A man without food or water does not crave.

[Andy]

No, that's probably true.

[Josh]

They need them.

[Andy]

Yeah. So you cannot crave needs. You can't.

[Josh]

I don't think so.

[Andy]

No. Because if you need it.

[Josh]

I've got a craving for, like, air. I've got a craving for air.

[Mike]

A real hankering for some oxygen right now.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Yeah. Okay, that's. I mean, that is A craving is

[Josh]

more intense than wanting.

[Andy]

Craving is much more intense.

[Josh]

Yeah, that's the more like. I want a cookie. I'm craving a cookie. One of them.

[Mike]

It's just stronger.

[Josh]

It's just stronger.

[Mike]

Okay. And need is clearly. I mean, we all know what it is.

[Josh]

I think this one's pretty good.

[Sponsor Voice]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Josh]

This one's for Mike, though. For a man of many questions, please help us. What is the difference between a robot, an Android? A cyborg? I feel like Mike knows the answer.

[Andy]

Already knows.

[Mike]

I mean, a robot is fully mechanical.

[Josh]

Okay.

[Mike]

Cyborg is, I believe, a cyborg.

[Josh]

Is that for cybernetic organism?

[Mike]

I believe. So a cyborg is like, you're still part human, but you're also part machine. And an Android, I believe, is a. It's like a robot designed to be a human. Human, yes.

[Andy]

That is correct. Yes, an Android.

[Josh]

But it's fully robot.

[Andy]

It's fully robot, but designed to look like. And Be like a human or like

[Josh]

a phone or to pass as humans. Just to be clear, then all androids are robots, but not all robots are androids?

[Andy]

Correct.

[Josh]

That's true.

[Andy]

That is right. That is true.

[Josh]

And so cyborgs have some organic material.

[Andy]

Yeah. And it doesn't have to be human. I was gonna correct Mike on that.

[Mike]

Oh, okay.

[Josh]

That's fine.

[Andy]

You could be a cyborg dog. Yes.

[Josh]

Dragon.

[Andy]

Oh, a cyborg dragon.

[Josh]

Cyborg, Chinese dragon.

[Andy]

You know what a dragon is, Andy? Man, we are crushing this.

[Josh]

So Android then is just a humanoid flavored robot?

[Mike]

Yeah, because it's like, think about your Roomba. That's a robot.

[Josh]

So Data from Star Trek was an Android. Correct.

[Andy]

He was an Android, but the boars were mistaken.

[Josh]

Cyborgs. Oh, gosh.

[Andy]

They were called the Borgs.

[Mike]

Hold on. Did we just figure something out?

[Andy]

The Borg were stuck.

[Josh]

The Borg were Borg.

[Andy]

Duh. Wow, I'm dumb. What happens when something becomes so ubiquitous that it changes the meaning? Like Android. When I hear Android is a phone, I'm thinking of a phone.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Andy]

There's no human aspect to that. Are they allowed to hijack that?

[Josh]

No.

[Andy]

Are they allowed to? So then we need to call them.

[Josh]

They're subservient to the original meaning.

[Andy]

Okay.

[Josh]

Now, will at one point an Android operating system run on a real Android is the real question.

[Mike]

I would say likely.

[Josh]

It seems like that's going to be the case, right?

[Andy]

Probably, yeah.

[Josh]

Now, did you say Android has to be a humanoid?

[Andy]

Yes.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Josh]

So unlike cyborg, which could be other animals.

[Andy]

Right.

[Josh]

An Android camp. You can't have an Android dog.

[Mike]

Correct.

[Josh]

That would be a robot dog.

[Mike]

Yeah. Robo dog.

[Josh]

Okay, what is the difference between sanitizing, disinfecting and decontaminating? This is gonna be some work, guys.

[Andy]

Yeah, this one. Okay, now we got the hard ones, man.

[Josh]

Long words, lots of letters.

[Andy]

Sanitizing, disinfecting, and decontaminating. Decontaminating has poop or throw up in it.

[Josh]

Oh, really?

[Mike]

It's got contaminants.

[Andy]

Yeah, yeah, but it's gross. But you also have the dish. It's not just virus or bacteria to me. Decontaminating is disgusting.

[Josh]

Huh?

[Andy]

If you're decontaminating it, something gross is in there. Like you can disinfect something you can't even see. A counter can look clean and you could disinfect it. You can't decontaminate a counter.

[Josh]

If something is contaminated, it has become bad has been mixed into it.

[Andy]

Bad has been mixed into it. Not just bad.

[Josh]

Gross.

[Andy]

Gross, gross has been mixed into it.

[Josh]

No Wait, so you could contaminate? Like if I had.

[Mike]

It can't just be surface level then, right?

[Josh]

If I had a box.

[Andy]

No, it can't.

[Josh]

Oh, wait, it can't.

[Andy]

I don't think so.

[Josh]

If I had a box of cereal and you peed in it, would it be contaminated?

[Mike]

Oh, yeah, because that's in the cereal.

[Andy]

Good luck decontaminating that.

[Josh]

So if you have to decontaminate. That's a throw out. You have to throw it out.

[Andy]

That's a throw out.

[Josh]

If decontamination involves throwing things away. Well, not just spraying them or sanitizing them.

[Andy]

No, if you throw it out, you're not decontaminated.

[Josh]

But the room. You take the bad thing out of the room, the room's decontaminated. If there's a poop in the room and I remove the poop.

[Andy]

Sure. Did I decontaminate 100%.

[Josh]

Then I spray, spray, spray. That's disinfecting, right?

[Andy]

Because you're gonna have leftover particles you can't see.

[Josh]

And what about the sanitizing, though?

[Andy]

Yeah, sanitizing and disinfecting. These are. These are tight. These are siblings.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Andy]

They're not cousins. You know what I mean?

[Josh]

Disinfecting and sanitize. Disinfect. Take away the infection. Sanitize. That's a positive way. It's a positive spin.

[Mike]

Yeah. So no disinfecting.

[Josh]

I'm doing something.

[Mike]

I think you hit it. Disinfecting, it's related to an infection. Right, where sanitize is just germs that could become an infection.

[Andy]

You're right. I know.

[Josh]

It's right there in the word.

[Andy]

No, it's right there in the word. Oh, my gosh.

[Josh]

It's almost like the words are made to tell us what they mean.

[Andy]

I mean, disprefects means it's infected. Sanitizing is pre infection. Yeah.

[Josh]

To make sure you don't have an infection that you need to disinfect.

[Mike]

Right, Right. You gotta sanitize the cut. If you take a dump or it would get infected.

[Andy]

Right. And if you take a dump on the cut, you're gonna need to decontaminate.

[Josh]

Okay. All right. I think I'm listening. Deucers out over there.

[Mike]

This is.

[Andy]

We know what the difference is between words.

[Josh]

Are we helping out a lot?

[Andy]

No.

[Mike]

What? What are we getting wrong?

[Andy]

Fire that.

[Josh]

Let me guess. You know more about it. All of it.

[Andy]

It's all wrong.

[Mike]

What are we getting wrong, Joe?

[Andy]

So the first thing is, when you decontaminate something, a contamination can be inorganic. It's not an organic thing, so it's not always for me. Oh, my gosh. Turn his microphone up. It's poop and pee, Josh.

[Josh]

It's pooping pee.

[Andy]

It's poop and pee. You can have a lot of contamination. There's a lot of things that can contaminate something. Yes, there are three things. I said two. There's poop, pee, and throw up. Okay, there's three different things that can contaminate something.

[Josh]

I mean, you remember the movie E.T.

[Andy]

yeah. No. Yes. I'm sorry.

[Josh]

To do that, they had to do some decontamination in that movie. Remember that?

[Mike]

Remember?

[Josh]

They'd set up all those big tubes where they'd have to go into, like, a decontamination chamber.

[Mike]

Sanitizing.

[Andy]

Yeah, they were sanitizing for sure.

[Josh]

But don't you have to go through it? Like, if you were out walking around on a planet that was full of bad stuff, then you got to go back to your hideout.

[Andy]

No one's sick yet.

[Josh]

That's what they call it.

[Andy]

No one's sick yet. Nothing's gross yet. You don't want to bring anything back.

[Josh]

You go into a decontamination chamber.

[Andy]

Are you sick?

[Josh]

Am I right, Josh?

[Andy]

Are you sick in that chamber?

[Josh]

No, I'm not. Because I got a suit on, but I want to bring it in.

[Andy]

Exactly. Is it gross? Is it gross in that chamber? Are you gross?

[Josh]

I don't.

[Andy]

Do you have pee, poop, or vomit on you?

[Josh]

No.

[Andy]

Then you're sanitizing. It's a sanitation stuff chamber.

[Josh]

All right, we.

[Andy]

I think it's. Any hazmat situation anytime there's a hazardous material.

[Josh]

We're not looking for real answers here. What is the difference between a catchphrase?

[Mike]

Confused what this show is.

[Andy]

Yeah, you guys are getting upset over science.

[Josh]

We are giving you.

[Andy]

This is truth.

[Josh]

Truth, not science.

[Mike]

Get your facts out of here.

[Josh]

What is the difference between a catchphrase, a motto, and a slogan?

[Mike]

Okay.

[Andy]

Oh, here we go.

[Josh]

A motto is for a not for profit organization.

[Andy]

Really?

[Josh]

I don't know. I figured a slogan is for profit. I was trying to figure that out. Catchphrase is just a person. A person's got a catchphrase? Yeah, a motto's like a motto.

[Andy]

Isn't that something you live by? Like a slogan is like a tagline, but a motto.

[Josh]

Do you live by a motto?

[Mike]

I think you live by a motto.

[Andy]

I think you do.

[Josh]

You can't have paid a company to give you a motto that's. You come up with it.

[Andy]

Right. You know, a lannister always pays its debts. That's the motto.

[Josh]

That's a family motto.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah, I'm with that.

[Josh]

So a slogan, though, that's gotta be paid for. Do you pay an advertising company to get you a slogan?

[Andy]

If you have to pay in one of two ways, you either pay to receive it, or once you come up with it on your own, you pay to proliferate it. You are trying to get the slogan out there.

[Mike]

Are you trying to get people to turn it into their motto, though? There's a slogan, a motto before, like,

[Josh]

the best a man can get. Yeah, that's slogan.

[Andy]

Right? That's a slogan. And I don't think you could turn that into a motto. No, I don't think a motto is from the heart.

[Josh]

You live by a motto. Yeah, that's why I was thinking like a. Not organization anymore. No motto.

[Andy]

Yeah, I know. What's a motto? Like, that's all I could think of, but I didn't want to make the joke. The word. Once you say motto enough.

[Josh]

Boy Scout motto is to be prepared.

[Mike]

Exactly.

[Andy]

That's what we're going to live by.

[Mike]

Be prepared. But that could be a slogan, too.

[Josh]

What if.

[Andy]

Well, for like. Like tums.

[Josh]

Yeah, yeah.

[Andy]

Tums.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Be prepared.

[Mike]

But.

[Andy]

But, you know, the words can mean different things.

[Mike]

Right?

[Andy]

But a motto is like, how you want to live.

[Mike]

But if you. Like if I were the Tums guy, and every time you're like, hey, Mike, can I have a tum? So I say, be prepared. That's my catchphrase.

[Andy]

When life eats lemons, that would be your catchphrase. You got jammed.

[Josh]

When life keeps lemons, make lemonade. What is that?

[Andy]

That's a motto.

[Mike]

That's more of a.

[Josh]

That ain't a slogan.

[Andy]

That's none of these.

[Mike]

I don't think it's.

[Andy]

Yeah, that's none of these. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. That's a.

[Mike]

What an idiom?

[Andy]

Yeah, yeah, it's an idiom.

[Josh]

Catchphrase. A catchphrase is.

[Mike]

It probably started as a catchphrase.

[Josh]

Yeah, somebody started saying it a lot.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And they're like, oh, we got these lemons. It was like, I got to make lemonade.

[Josh]

What is the difference between remembering, recalling and reminiscing? Reminiscing has to be dwelling on the past.

[Andy]

Yeah, but reminiscing is always positive.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Andy]

You don't reminisce on bad times.

[Josh]

Oh, do I not let me.

[Andy]

No, you don't. You can remember bad things.

[Josh]

I got in a car accident when I was 17. Do I reminisce about that?

[Andy]

No. No, you don't reminisce.

[Josh]

I was reminiscing about that car accident.

[Andy]

No, reminiscing is good old days. Is the good old days.

[Josh]

I can remember car accident. I can recall it.

[Andy]

Absolutely. So then what's the difference between recalling and remembering does.

[Josh]

I don't know if there is one.

[Andy]

So here's my thought that it might be. I feel like when I remember something, I'm just remember. I'm just. I remember this fact. I remember this. But if I've got to work hard to remember it, like, I've got to recall it. I've got to think, and it's going to take me a while, and then I recall.

[Josh]

Does Mike have a good memory or good recall?

[Andy]

He's got a good memory. It doesn't take him any effort.

[Josh]

Is he remembering things from the 90s?

[Andy]

He's remembering everything. No, when he recalls is when he has to stop and think real hard.

[Josh]

You think recalling is harder than remembering?

[Andy]

I do.

[Josh]

Is that what you're saying?

[Andy]

Is what I'm saying I think recalling is more difficult

[Mike]

or is it just you're being more rude about it because you're like, when I'm. When I want to prove you wrong, I like. If I'm like, hey, I remember it differently, or I go, I seem to recall. Oh, that you did. Like, I'm selling you. I remember what happened, but I'm being. But I rude about it.

[Josh]

So you think it's more rude to say, I recall this?

[Mike]

Yes.

[Josh]

Then I remember this.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Josh]

So remember, I seem to recall.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Andy]

When you say I seem to recall.

[Josh]

Oh, you don't. You can misremember. You can't misrecall.

[Andy]

That's right. Recall something.

[Josh]

So if you recall something, is it infallible?

[Andy]

It's infallible. You cannot recall something wrong.

[Josh]

Did that help at all? Doosers. Let's try this again.

[Andy]

If you can't recall something wrong, why would somebody say, if I recall correctly?

[Mike]

Because, you know, you're right.

[Andy]

Oh, yeah. You're playing. This is all part of the word game, Jer. Okay, then, yes, I learned something.

[Mike]

You're saying, I remember, and the fact that you don't remember makes you an idiot.

[Josh]

If I recall your pants fell down,

[Andy]

which I'm reminiscing about that right now. You're not. You can't. It was bad for you.

[Josh]

Oh, man. So I can reminisce about something that happened to you that brought me entertainment, even if it brought you sadness And

[Andy]

I'm gonna have to remember that.

[Mike]

It's the good old days.

[Josh]

Oh. So if you trip and fall or. Let's do it more. Less hypothetical.

[Andy]

Oh, yeah. Jeremy.

[Josh]

If you throw a pass to Jeremy Al Borland.

[Andy]

That was five years ago. He remembers right away.

[Josh]

Remember it like it was yesterday.

[Andy]

I can't reminisce about that.

[Josh]

That at all. And we threw him an easy to

[Andy]

catch pass and he, he fell like a bag of potatoes.

[Josh]

And so we often reminisce about that. But you do not.

[Andy]

Yeah, that's.

[Josh]

I, I remember. But you recall it, don't you?

[Andy]

I. No, I remember it.

[Josh]

Okay.

[Andy]

You remember it like it was yesterday. Remembering it was easy.

[Josh]

All right. I think we did it. It's time to draft.

[Andy]

The Spitballers draft.

[Josh]

Well, it has been a long while since we've done a battle royale draft, but the three of us have stepped back into the arena and we are drafting children's book characters to form a team and we'll battle each other to the death using these characters. And I will be honest with you, this one's pretty tough. It's pretty tough because a kids book character, not normally violent. Not normally.

[Mike]

Some are.

[Josh]

I mean rarely are they not mild mannered. Yeah, that's the big challenge.

[Andy]

And also in a fight, you know you're going to need some power. It's hard to find real powerful children's

[Josh]

book characters, but we're going to give it a go because that's what we do. And Mike, you got the first pick. You seem so confident.

[Mike]

Well, because sometimes you have a character in a book. Sometimes they're big, sometimes they're bad. Sometimes they can huff and they could puff and they could blow your house down. I'm taking the big bad wolf, baby. I don't build no houses out of sticks in this fight.

[Josh]

It was. It was on my list. It would have been drafted by me. It's a great pick. It's a wolf. You want a wolf in the arena? I will. I will bring up that this wolf, if you really think about, would blow the house down and then it would let him get away and build another whole house. Yeah.

[Andy]

And it couldn't blow down.

[Josh]

Why did they get to build a whole house? He could have eaten them anytime they're building the house.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Andy]

And he couldn't have.

[Mike]

Well, he wasn't around for the building,

[Josh]

so he blows it down and then they run off.

[Andy]

Catch a pig. Your wolf can't catch a pig.

[Mike]

He can 100% catch a pig. He's a little cocky here.

[Josh]

If we drafted a pig, we'd be safe.

[Andy]

No, no.

[Mike]

Only if you draft the pig who builds out a brick.

[Josh]

Okay.

[Andy]

That's true. Well, no, the. All three. The pigs that built. The pig that built out of straw was totally safe because of the guy

[Mike]

who built out of brick.

[Andy]

So long as we don't wear a red, we are fine.

[Josh]

Let me ask you one question real quick. How many pigs did he eat in the story?

[Andy]

Yeah. There's three of them. A lot of chances.

[Mike]

How many in that particular event? None.

[Andy]

Okay.

[Mike]

But that's because of the events prior. It's not a problem. He toys with the pigs and he eats them.

[Josh]

All right, all right.

[Mike]

He's thinking. He's bad guys.

[Josh]

Big bad.

[Mike]

He's big bad.

[Andy]

Big bad. Big bad.

[Josh]

Big bad. Wolf is off the table. Jason, you have picks to make.

[Andy]

I have picks to make. And I'm going to take some magic in my first pick.

[Josh]

Okay.

[Andy]

I'm going to cause some chaos. I'm going to have fun doing it. Oh, I'm taking the Cat in the hat.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah.

[Josh]

I feel like of all the children's books characters, that would be you.

[Andy]

Thank you.

[Josh]

I feel like you might be the cat in the hat.

[Andy]

I love chaos.

[Josh]

Who is also the Jim Carrey of children's books.

[Andy]

I love magic. And Mike Myers of children's books. Yeah. Nice.

[Josh]

Oh, he was okay.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Should have been Jim Carrey.

[Mike]

Go well.

[Josh]

Would have been a better movie. Okay. Cat in the hat. All right, I like it. I will go with, is the cat

[Mike]

magic or is the hat magic?

[Andy]

Either way, he's got it. No, no, I think it's the cat. I do think it is the cat.

[Josh]

How much time, though, in the fight with us in the arena will you spend just, like, using your powers to tidy up?

[Mike]

That's the end. He's making a huge mess.

[Josh]

Oh, at the end. So the arena will look, like, perfect at the end.

[Andy]

At very end, but beforehand, it's going to be a disaster.

[Josh]

Oh. So the arena, like, personnel, want the cat in the hat to win.

[Andy]

Yes.

[Josh]

They're for the cleanup.

[Andy]

They're rooting for me for sure.

[Josh]

All right, I got two picks. I'm taking. I'm not taking the big and the bad. I'm taking the big and the red.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Josh]

I'm taking Clifford, the big red dog. It's huge. It's so big. It's bigger than a house.

[Andy]

It's like a dragon on land.

[Josh]

Yeah, it's.

[Mike]

He's. He's a puppy, right?

[Andy]

He is a puppy, which is probably worse. I've had labs, and when labs grow up, they're lazy, they're calm, they want to lay down. When you got a lab puppy, there's a chance. Oh, brother.

[Josh]

There's a chance. He tries to play.

[Andy]

Oh.

[Mike]

The whole time he's playing, but he's

[Josh]

so big that if you play. If you play with him, the cat

[Andy]

in the hat is going to be riding your Clifford.

[Mike]

Just.

[Andy]

I will be taking him on my pet. I'm a rubbing behind the ears. Put a little magic out there, and I'm going to have him trample everyone else.

[Josh]

How much can the cat in the hat do? I don't know. Did you draft Harry Potter? What did you draft?

[Andy]

I don't know.

[Mike]

No one knows.

[Josh]

No one knows, right?

[Mike]

No.

[Josh]

He's a cat inside a hat.

[Mike]

And is the cat the one with the magic, or is that thing one and thing two?

[Josh]

No, they come out of the hat.

[Andy]

Yeah. They're just separate. Oh, man.

[Mike]

Do they come.

[Josh]

They don't care which. I thought about drafting. I thought about drafting those. I will go with. I'm going to go with the wild things.

[Andy]

Oh, that was my next pick. That was my next pick. You get one, you get a wild thing.

[Josh]

I was wondering if I got one or not. Do I get a pack of wild things?

[Mike]

You don't get.

[Josh]

You both think I get a wild thing?

[Andy]

Yeah, you get a character.

[Josh]

Fine. I will take a wild thing.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Josh]

It's a monster for sure, for sure. And they're pretty creepy looking.

[Andy]

Oh, they're amazing looking. That is very sharp.

[Josh]

That book is my favorite.

[Andy]

That is my favorite children's book. I read that to my first son so much. I. No joke, had the entire book memorized. I could just show them the pictures and turn the page. It was like every day for years.

[Mike]

Pajama time for us.

[Andy]

Oh, really?

[Mike]

Did you ever do pajama time?

[Andy]

No.

[Mike]

Oh.

[Josh]

Oh, that book.

[Mike]

Yeah. You're lucky.

[Josh]

Yeah. I think ours was like, pout, pout Fish. But that's not a great draft. Not a great draft pick. Jason, you have the Cat in the Hat. You are back on the clock. I have Clifford and a wild thing Mike with the huffing and the puffin.

[Andy]

Yeah, well, the Cat in the Hat wants friend. Oh, no, Cat in the Hat wants friend. That's very nearby universe. A little bit more magic, a little bit more mischief, and a lot of mustache. Give me the Lorax. Oh, okay.

[Mike]

That's not where I thought we were going.

[Josh]

I wish I knew more about the Lorax. About the Lorax. I think he's got, like, some forest powers. He tries to know what he does.

[Andy]

I've seen the movie. I know he's.

[Josh]

You like the mustache?

[Andy]

I love them. I Love the mustache. DeVito rocks in that.

[Josh]

I do not. I do not know anything about the forest. In the forest, deucers. Weigh in if you know more about the lore.

[Mike]

He lives in the forest. He's like. He's supposed to be the voice and

[Sponsor Voice]

the protector of the trees.

[Mike]

And then the mean companies come in and they cut all the trees down.

[Andy]

Okay, he speaks for the trees.

[Mike]

Yeah, there you go. He speaks for the trees.

[Andy]

But in a battle setting, meaning manipulating or summoning natural forces. Vines, trees, roots to entangle, trap or attack opponents. That's according to.

[Josh]

I have done a Google search that I don't want to get into.

[Andy]

But apparently the Lorax he focused on,

[Josh]

the mustache has been banned in some locations because of its negative portrayal of the logging industry.

[Mike]

I told you, the whole thing is the big bad machines come in and cut down all the trees.

[Josh]

Okay, You've got the Lorax. You're more like. You're like a. You would hold up like a anti logging sign during the fight.

[Andy]

Yeah, yeah, that's right. I will protest.

[Mike]

He'll climb in that tree. He'll stay there the whole time.

[Josh]

Okay, okay. All right, Mike, you got two picks.

[Mike]

I thought this is where you were going. Jay of Mischief. I don't know that I'd call him a magical guy. I don't think that he's got magic, but

[Josh]

his.

[Mike]

He can be very strong when his heart gets real big. I'm going to take the Grinch.

[Josh]

Yep. That's where I thought he was going, too.

[Mike]

I thought you were going Cat in the Hat Grinch. And I was like, we need to log out, because that combo. It's over.

[Andy]

Yeah, that's pretty good. That's pretty good. He doesn't really have magic.

[Mike]

No, I don't. Yeah. He just has Brute.

[Andy]

But he does have Jim Carrey. If I could have had Jim Carrey and Michael. Man.

[Josh]

If you could combine. If you could put Mike into two characters, the Big Bad Wolf and the Grinch.

[Andy]

Yeah, that's very Mike.

[Josh]

Because Mike. Mike is like. He's gonna huff and puff and blow your house down, but he probably won't eat you.

[Andy]

His heart will evade.

[Josh]

He just wants you to think he would.

[Andy]

He's grouchy. He wants to not talk to you.

[Mike]

He wants to be alone.

[Andy]

But then his heart's gonna grow three sizes. Oh, he's not gonna be able to do badly.

[Josh]

Most children's books were written about Mike. He was the protagonist. All right, you got another pick.

[Mike]

One more pick. Okay.

[Josh]

That's a duo, though. The Big Bad Wolf and the Grinch.

[Mike]

And. And I'm gonna get. I'm gonna. Little telekinesis going on here. Okay. Oh, I will be taking Matilda.

[Andy]

Oh, I'm so happy you did that.

[Josh]

Explain. Explain that. Remind me. I can't recall.

[Andy]

I can't recall. Matilda.

[Mike]

No, Matilda is. It's the story.

[Josh]

A movie, though, right?

[Mike]

Yeah, but.

[Andy]

And there's an awesome musical. The.

[Mike]

She was so smart. And that. And no one was giving her enough knowledge that eventually, like, it's her.

[Andy]

She.

[Josh]

Just.

[Mike]

Because she's so smart, she eventually figures out telekinesis.

[Josh]

Okay.

[Mike]

And knocks over a glass of water with a.

[Josh]

So she can mess with.

[Andy]

She can push with her mom.

[Sponsor Voice]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Yep.

[Josh]

But not. Is this like the force from. From Star Wars?

[Mike]

It's not as strong as.

[Josh]

Not as strong.

[Andy]

Not as strong.

[Mike]

She has to think really hard to

[Josh]

do it, though, so she's got to concentrate.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Josh]

And is it little things only?

[Andy]

Probably.

[Josh]

I don't know if I can say.

[Mike]

Yes, we never.

[Andy]

She can't lift a house.

[Mike]

No, no, no, no.

[Sponsor Voice]

Not a house.

[Josh]

But maybe a little pebble she could pick up and take.

[Andy]

Oh, for sure she can. Objects, books, things like that.

[Mike]

She can slay a giant.

[Andy]

I'm just happy because I've got Could

[Josh]

she throw the hat while the cat's still on? Oh, the hat.

[Andy]

I could knock the hat right off.

[Mike]

That's what I'm doing.

[Josh]

What happens if the hat gets flipped on its head and then it's like, can the cat get out through the bottom if the hat. It's facing downward?

[Andy]

Yeah, just stand up.

[Josh]

Oh, it does. Oh, okay.

[Andy]

I did look into it, and it seems that the cat is the magic, not the hat. So you're safe if he knocks your hat off. All right, good. I'll just, like, zip it right back to me with magic. All right, well, here's why I was happy you took Matilda.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Andy]

Because we had a whole long talk beforehand, like, what is a children's.

[Mike]

This is where we're pushing the line.

[Andy]

This is where we're pushing the line because it's like, you know, we're not taking Harry Potter here. We're not taking the Narnia series. Not teenagers, not young adults that kids sometimes read. We want children's books, you know, 10 and under. We want, you know, Dr. Seuss and these famous. Enrolled all. Thank you, sir. So give me the Big Friendly Giant.

[Mike]

He's on my list. But that F is doing a lot of heavy work.

[Andy]

Yes. But you know who's gonna love the Big Friendly Giant? Clifford. It's just a dude and his dog. He's like, oh, you're my size.

[Josh]

That is. The challenge with BFG was number two

[Mike]

on my list over here.

[Josh]

That's the challenge with some of these picks, because one of the. And I'll just reveal it. You can take him. You can. If you think you can coax this character into fighting, you can. But Ferdinand the Bull, okay. That story, it's a bull. You'd think you'd want a bull. But the whole point of the story is Ferdinand doesn't fight.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Josh]

So it's like he's just going to lay down. I can't.

[Mike]

I had John Cena.

[Josh]

I can't take it.

[Mike]

Yeah, that was a book.

[Josh]

It was Ferdinand. Yeah, that was a book.

[Andy]

Yeah. And a bad movie.

[Josh]

And a bad movie.

[Mike]

It was not.

[Josh]

I'm guessing in the movie, he doesn't fight because that's the book.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Josh]

But I have actually.

[Mike]

Way different than the book.

[Andy]

They should have got Jim Carrey.

[Josh]

That's the answer to so many things.

[Andy]

Work for Sonic.

[Josh]

I'm gonna. I'm gonna go a little. I'm gonna go a little battle. I feel like I'm battling the big bad wolf with this pick because of.

[Mike]

Are you gonna draft bricks?

[Josh]

Bricks is not a character in a children's book, Mike. But I know that this story, like, it keeps going. And I imagine if somebody didn't stop it, it would have kept going even further. So I probably got a shot here. I'm taking the old lady who swallowed a fly.

[Andy]

Oh, okay.

[Josh]

Because she swallowed a fly.

[Andy]

Why?

[Mike]

Well, you don't know why she swallowed a fly.

[Andy]

Thank you, Mike.

[Josh]

You don't know. Perhaps she'll die. But she didn't. A spider, a bird, a cat. She swallowed a dog, a cow, a horse. If someone didn't stop the story. She swallows a wolf. I don't know if you knew that.

[Andy]

Really.

[Josh]

She swallows a wolf and a Grinch and she swallows a Lorax for sure.

[Mike]

This story feels like eventually it's the snake that eats its own tail.

[Josh]

It might. But you'll all be.

[Mike]

By the end, there'll still be nothing left.

[Josh]

Yeah. So I'm taking the old lady who swallowed a fly.

[Mike]

Wow. Not on my radar, but I like it.

[Josh]

And you know what? From Winnie the Pooh, I'm taking Tigger.

[Andy]

Ah.

[Josh]

I feel like he's going to be a good. That's a good Tigger. He does a good job. First of all, he's a tiger.

[Andy]

Yeah. Second of all, he can jump.

[Josh]

He can battle the Cat in the Hat in the chaotic department. Right. Because he doesn't. He's well meaning, but he causes problems.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Josh]

So, you know, I'm counting on Tigger and Clifford to accidentally kill you. That's the accidental trampling.

[Mike]

The old lady is the same thing.

[Andy]

She's just starving.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Andy]

She's just famished.

[Josh]

Famished. She's craving is what she's doing.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Josh]

It's not a want, it's not a need. She's craving a fly.

[Mike]

Oh, man.

[Josh]

So I do have to start her off with, like, a few of the animals beforehand. The fly, the spider, the bird, whatever, and get her primed for you. But that does. That's my pick.

[Andy]

All right. Does that mean I'm up?

[Josh]

It does.

[Mike]

It does.

[Andy]

Is this my last pick?

[Josh]

It is.

[Andy]

Oh, man. What is? My team.

[Mike]

You got the Cat in the Hat, the Lorax, and the bfg.

[Andy]

All right, so I got some size. I got some magic.

[Josh]

Big Friendly Giant was a. That was a good pick.

[Andy]

Got some size. I got some magic, and I think I want some machinery.

[Josh]

You do, huh?

[Andy]

I got magic size machinery. I'm taking.

[Josh]

You didn't mention the Lorax at all in your story of what you got.

[Andy]

Well, it's magic. He's magic, too.

[Josh]

Okay.

[Andy]

Magic size and machinery in the little engine that could. Oh, you're taking a train. That's right. I'm taking a train.

[Mike]

I'm gonna run you all over.

[Andy]

But I mean, he doesn't need tracks.

[Josh]

He does story a lot. What?

[Andy]

He goes anywhere he wants.

[Josh]

Really? That's gonna suck. If he needs tracks, though, a little engine, he's just sitting out there.

[Andy]

But he could. You might think, you might watch him there. If I get in there, you might watch him and think, oh, he can't do this.

[Mike]

What?

[Andy]

And that's the point. He wants you to think he can't do it, but it turns out he can.

[Josh]

I think I can. I think I can.

[Andy]

I think I can. I think I can. And he does.

[Mike]

Where?

[Andy]

What?

[Josh]

But he might need. He might need tracks.

[Mike]

Thinks is leading you to believe that he doesn't need tracks.

[Andy]

I don't remember the pictures.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Josh]

It's a train, man.

[Andy]

It's like putting what's inside. The story is that he can. I think I can. I think I can. So if you don't have tracks, you say, oh, he can't do it. I think I can. I think I can. He can.

[Josh]

Without tracks, I think he can't.

[Mike]

You think you can't. Look positive thinking is great. Can only get you so far.

[Josh]

Yeah, man.

[Mike]

If you don't got no tracks, then you're just gonna be spinning your wheels.

[Josh]

This friendly Little engines is standing in the corner of the arena.

[Mike]

You gotta believe he's your moral support.

[Josh]

Yeah, I think you can. I think you can.

[Mike]

You got this, Lorax.

[Josh]

Yeah. The logging industry is doomed.

[Andy]

I've got an engine. I've got a train. I'm gonna run you over.

[Josh]

All right, Mike, you've got Matilda, the Big Bad Wolf, and the Grinch. And you got one more pick.

[Mike]

Oh, man. I'm gonna go like this is. This could work terribly, but I think I'm. We're going so small that you're like your giant dog. It won't be an issue.

[Josh]

Okay.

[Mike]

Because I'm gonna get you with a tiny little bug.

[Josh]

All right.

[Mike]

Taking charlotte.

[Josh]

Oh, the spider.

[Andy]

Yeah, it was a black widow, right? Yeah, I'm on it.

[Mike]

It absolutely was. Or a brown recluse.

[Josh]

Yeah, it was one of them dirty spiders.

[Mike]

Either way, Jason can't be a part of this fight anymore.

[Josh]

Well, there will be a nice, calm spot to spin a web on the train in the corner.

[Andy]

Tell you that.

[Mike]

And then if you get Charlotte.

[Andy]

Oh, it's definitely not. It's definitely not. A black widow. Because it's an orb weaver spider. They spend classic, beautiful, circular webs. That is not what it is.

[Josh]

The web. The plan. No, like, spin it up into it.

[Andy]

Go, team.

[Mike]

The plan is actually all. That's good. Yeah, I forgot about the writing. Yeah, I forgot the book. No, it was actually.

[Josh]

What does he say? That's a heck of a pig. Or what is. What is.

[Mike]

I don't know.

[Andy]

I don't know.

[Mike]

But anyway, my plan is the babies. I was gonna, like, unleash the.

[Andy]

I mean, I will not be thousands of.

[Mike]

That's what I'm saying.

[Andy]

But my warriors will be.

[Mike]

Yeah, but they're. Your leader is gone.

[Andy]

Yeah, well, my leader went with the cat in the hat.

[Josh]

Some pig. It's some pig.

[Andy]

Some pig.

[Josh]

Or Terrific, Radiant, humble. These are things you could spin in your web. Mike.

[Mike]

She's very smart for a spider.

[Josh]

Okay, did you guys have. I had a lot of Curious George.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Mike]

He's on my list.

[Josh]

George was on the Very hungry caterpillar, But I was.

[Mike]

He was on my list.

[Josh]

Doubling up on the old lady with the fly.

[Andy]

You're just.

[Josh]

Yeah, I'm just eating stuff.

[Mike]

Harold. And the purple crayon was on my

[Andy]

list, but I had. I had Horton because he's an elephant. But it was very similar to the bull, where it's like, he's not a tough guy. Elephant. The tough guy. The one that really, I maybe should have drafted because you want to talk about.

[Josh]

Instead of the trackless engine gone.

[Andy]

I think he can be okay.

[Mike]

He's.

[Josh]

I'll give you one set of tracks. Just long enough. Just as long as the.

[Mike]

As him go back and forth.

[Andy]

I think I can magic some tracks with my team. But mama bear.

[Mike]

Oh, I had Papa Cubear on my list.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Mike]

I mean, I'm just from Berenstain Bear.

[Andy]

Mine was not.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Mine was from Goldilocks.

[Josh]

Oh.

[Andy]

Because mama bear gonna come in and be angry. Yeah. And, you know, I feel like the Berenstein bears. I had them on my list first. Because he's a bear.

[Josh]

Mama didn't take no crap in that book.

[Andy]

Yeah. I had Franklin the turtle.

[Josh]

Oh, gosh. Go in your. Go in your shell.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Andy]

I mean, just turtle up.

[Josh]

Yeah, the.

[Mike]

I mean, I had Max, but then you took the wild thing.

[Josh]

A bear. A bear would have been a good pick, but I think you did the right thing with a train.

[Mike]

Did you guys ever read the Mouse and the motorcycle?

[Andy]

Nope.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Mike]

With Ralph S. Mouse.

[Andy]

Nope.

[Josh]

Yeah, I know what you're talking about.

[Mike]

His whole thing was.

[Josh]

I can recall that he is a.

[Mike]

He's a mouse and he had a toy motorcycle. But when he made motorcycle sounds, it drove. So the plan was just to have this mouse making the fist, just driving around on a tiny little motorcycle.

[Sponsor Voice]

You'll never catch.

[Andy]

I had not bad Ms. Frizzle and maybe.

[Mike]

Oh, Ms. Frizzle would have been an elite pick.

[Andy]

And I. I didn't know if I would be a school bus, though, so I was gonna try just have Ms. Frizzle. If I went that way. I was gonna just draft the magic school bus, see if I could.

[Josh]

You would have gotten away with. See, I didn't let me gone inside.

[Andy]

And then my. My second favorite children's book. I just got to give her a shout out.

[Josh]

Okay.

[Andy]

Incredible. Accidentally brilliant Amelia Bedelia.

[Mike]

Oh, we know Amelia Bedelia.

[Andy]

We know she's gonna make some mistakes, but turn out all right.

[Josh]

Okay, that was not bad. That was a pretty good draft. I'm gonna crush you guys.

[Andy]

What did we learn today? I learned that Papa Josh is the best liar. He's so good at lying, his friends won't let him play lying.

[Josh]

He's doing so much right now. He hates you so much right now. He hates people the best.

[Mike]

I learned that you guys have a very Eurocentric thought process when it comes to dragons.

[Andy]

Right?

[Josh]

And I learned that my Schwarzenegger impression is just as good as it always was. Goodbye, everybody. We'll do this again sometime.

[Mike]

Goodbye.

[Andy]
