Podcast Narrator
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.
Game Host
I think I'm gonna have to boost that audio, but I loved that.
Mike
Hey.
Jason
Oh, that was.
Brooks
The end of.
Jason
It was so. I can't even do it.
Mike
I don't know what.
Jason
You kept the speed up. It was great. It was an all timer.
Mike
Just a bunch, bunch of click sounds apparently.
Jason
I loved it. Welcome into The Spitballers, episode 251. Andy, Mike and Jason, back with you, Al Borland in the building, Judge Giamatti on the pulleys and levers. And we're happy to have you with us. Thank you for tuning in, for supporting this ridiculous adventure that is the Spitballers podcast. We're here again. They keep letting us do this show.
Mike
Oh, they can't stop us no matter who they are.
Jason
No, no. If they are us, they have tried and we are drafting things that are yellow on today's show. Not one of my favorite colors.
Mike
Really? Oh, you know, I like yellow. It's fun, it's bright, it's happy.
Jason
Cowardice.
Andy
Yeah, I'm going to draft urine owl, you coward.
Mike
I mean, yeah, look, there's yellow.
Jason
You did say yellow. You give it the old fashioned. It's not yellow. I don't like yellow. I don't mind yellow.
Mike
Oh, okay.
Jason
They're a little bit different.
Mike
Okay.
Jason
Different hue. Gotcha. Man of the people on the show today on Would you rather as well? You can follow us on Instagram. Instagram.com spitballers pod we're on YouTube and we're going to get it going.
Podcast Narrator
Would you rather.
Jason
RG from Patreon writes in and says, would you rather for the rest of your life be startled awake every 30 minutes of sleep or wake up 12 hours later every time you go to sleep?
Mike
So would you rather have a newborn baby the rest of your life or get 12 luxurious hours of sleep every night? But granted, you have to commit to a full 12 hours. That's a lot of time.
Jason
I my. You reacted the exact same way I did initially, but I am seeing some problems with the 12 hour one. First, I reacted immediately, the same as you. I was like, I've had a newborn baby. This is exactly what it's like. Your nights feel like, I don't know, a week long because you, every time you go to sleep, you're up. Then you're asleep, you're up. The 12 hours makes perfect sense if you can plan properly. However, I started thinking about what if something took you later into the night than you wanted it to and then you did have an obligation the next morning. You would then be in the position where those nights you have to not sleep at all. Because let's say, you know what, 10 o', clock, that would be 10 o' clock the next day. Right. So then let's say, oh, I'm going to go go to bed at 8 to get up at 8. But then something, something happens. You run into traffic on the way back from something that's a lot of traffic. And, and it pushes you to 10. But you got to be somewhere at 8, 8 o'. Clock.
Judge Giamatti
Yeah.
Andy
So you'd have to stay up all.
Jason
Night, you would have to not sleep to make certain appointments and.
Andy
But the alternative might be even worse than staying up, which is like, I've got to wake my kids up at 6am every day like that for school. It's school season. They've got to get up at 6. If they don't get up at 6, we ain't making it to school on time. That means I got to go to bed at 6.
Jason
6Pm yeah, 6pm or, or yeah, that's a huge problem.
Mike
You can just be tired every single day for the rest of your life.
Andy
I'm tired every single day of my life right now.
Mike
You are not. Wake up every 30 minutes.
Jason
Time.
Andy
Mike, how many notations do you have in our ongoing journal of notating when I am tired?
Mike
You do frequently ask whenever we sit down for a podcast and you say, I'm tired. I go, oh, I'll make a note. Now I do make the notes on these little boogie boards. So I delete it every time. But your point still stands. It's in the thousands that I've marked this many times.
Andy
I can't believe that that thing still works.
Jason
Have you tried the 12 hour plan for your.
Andy
No, because I'd have to go to bed at six.
Jason
Yeah, I mean it literally is half the day. It's half the day.
Andy
Yeah. I don't think you can do that. I don't think you could do the 12 hour one. I mean, it sounds, it sounds great.
Mike
You are not remembering how tired you were.
Jason
It is a weird thing to be like, okay, I got 12 hours of sleep now I can stay up late. No, you can't because you have to go.
Judge Giamatti
Right.
Jason
Could you Skip like on 12 hours? Could you skip every once in a while?
Andy
I don't think you're going to want to do that every fourth night.
Jason
Do you just plow all the way through and then make up for with the next four hours of.
Mike
When's the last time you pulled an all nighter?
Jason
It's 16 years old, probably.
Andy
Yeah, that's a good question. Like not like up super late. No, you did.
Mike
I did not go to sleep.
Andy
I don't. I mean it's got to be 15 years.
Jason
I think it was like a video game, one of my teenage years or something. I played it all night long.
Andy
I think I did it probably right before I had children. And now since I've had children, I can't.
Jason
But you're doing all nighter. That's on like a 6, 7, 8 hour sleep schedule. If you pile up the 12 hour nights, couldn't you make it through?
Andy
I think your body might have the opposite reaction. It's so used to sleep that it won't be able. It's the people that, like, I get three hours a night that are. They're like, I can stay up all night.
Jason
You might live longer, but you're not awake as much of that life.
Andy
Right. That's a new question. Would you rather.
Jason
How many hours awake do you want to be?
Andy
Would you rather have 10 extra years of your life but you had to lose 10 waking years of.
Jason
Yeah, I mean, this is one of the hardest questions I've ever seen because I really don't want either one. But I'm going to take the 12 hours.
Mike
Yes.
Jason
Because I think I'll be pretty pleasant for 12 hours.
Mike
It will Take a lot of planning. But waking up every 30 minutes, getting.
Jason
Woken up, it's torture. It stays like actual torture.
Mike
Imagine. Imagine that where you had to wake up two times in the entire. Whatever, eight hours that you slept. It's awful. The next day, you are. You're a zombie that you have giant, really dark bags under your eyes. It's impossible. You can't survive like that.
Jason
Are you going for it?
Andy
I'm going, man. I'm going every 30 minutes. Absolutely. My body will adjust.
Jason
He trusts.
Mike
No, it will not, because the human body can adjust to this.
Jason
He'll just ride it as long as his until it breaks down.
Andy
Oh, man.
Jason
Lily from the website Ill. Would you rather be able to walk through walls, see through walls, or hear through walls? It's a wall question.
Andy
It's all about the walls.
Jason
You know, you would still get caught trying to rob a bank by walking through walls.
Mike
Yes.
Judge Giamatti
Maybe.
Jason
I mean, you'd be able to escape a little bit easier.
Mike
Well, yeah. Okay, then can you bring.
Game Host
She specified in this question that to take it out of the equation because you will get caught if you try to rob a bank.
Jason
Oh, okay. All right. Mike doesn't like that stipulation.
Mike
No, no, no, That's.
Judge Giamatti
That's fine.
Mike
I just. It got me running down the path of. What are the rules about walking through walls? Is it stuff that's, like, just your physical body? Well, then. But your clothes can go through. Well, then that would say, well, if stuff's in my pockets. Is that good enough?
Jason
You went down the rabbit hole, which.
Mike
Apparently I'm not allowed to do right now.
Andy
I think you can go with whatever normal stuff you have. Your normal.
Jason
I think stuff in your pockets goes with you.
Andy
Yeah, absolutely.
Jason
Yeah. I'm not. My wallet's not ending up on the other side of the wall.
Judge Giamatti
Right.
Mike
So for the bank, I could go in and just get, like, a stack of hundos.
Jason
I knew where you were gonna go. I knew where you're gonna go.
Andy
The bank is off limits if you go into the bank. If you walk through a bank wall, you're naked. On the other side, everything. The bank has special superpowers where, okay.
Jason
They make you naked.
Andy
Well, it's just nothing could travel with you.
Jason
Okay, this is just so Mike can't steal money.
Andy
That's exactly. This is just.
Mike
It's Terminator rules.
Jason
This is just for Mike not to be able to take things. Look, what's the most beneficial walking through walls? I mean, your house. You get to.
Mike
Oh, that'd be great.
Jason
I mean, point A to point B, very quickly. Seeing through walls.
Andy
I think seeing through walls is more.
Jason
Valuable, but I'm trying to think of, like, when I would use it other than just, like, I don't want to be some creep.
Andy
Right? No, no. But I mean, I would know where everyone is in my house at all times. You know what I mean?
Jason
Is that, like, one of your bigger challenges?
Andy
I mean, it's a common thing, like, oh, where's Tiff? Where's Jason? Where's. You know, it's like hearing through walls.
Jason
Feels like it would be distracting.
Andy
Oh, that's a nightmare.
Jason
Unless you could, like, target it when you wanted it and then turn it off.
Andy
Yeah. If you can just hear through, all walls serve a valuable purpose in.
Mike
We did great work at will.
Game Host
So this is you. You can use it whenever you want. You can turn it off whenever you want.
Mike
Oh, we should read the questions.
Jason
I don't want to hear through walls because I don't want to hear people talking crap about me.
Andy
Yeah.
Jason
Because I can't go to them and be like, I heard that. And then they're like, how? And I'm like, yeah, you. I answered this question on Spitballers, and.
Mike
I got a power say I can hear through waltz, but only through walls.
Brooks
I like that.
Mike
Andy. Andy's concern is he confronts someone who's talking crap, and they go, well, how did you hear that?
Jason
That's how everyone acts when you call them out on something.
Mike
Where did you hear this?
Jason
I just think that the most I would get out of the hearing one is negative to my life.
Game Host
Right.
Jason
That's my point. It's not that you're not getting trade secrets from. Not most of the time. Most of the time, it's just gonna be somebody saying, like, you know, I'll be at the bank. And the guy walks in the other.
Mike
Room, he's like, see how ugly that guy is?
Jason
I gotta help that ugly guy.
Mike
Naked guy just walked out. He was trying to rob the bank.
Jason
Yeah. So the walking through wall seems like it's great. Now outside of the bank, am I walking, like, straight out of a target? Side of the target.
Mike
Yeah. I'm not even talking about theft. I'm just talking about the ease of. I don't have to worry about going through doors anymore.
Jason
Honestly. You could park in different places at, like, the mall that's more convenient to you.
Mike
Yeah.
Andy
That's actually really valuable.
Jason
You don't need to be near entrances.
Andy
The parking situation is great. You just park wherever far away. But on the side of the building where Nobody parks. But it's like, that's not the side of the building that's now the entrance.
Jason
You're never waiting in line for one of those sporting events, you know, to go through the checkers. You're just walking it through the side of the building.
Andy
You want to go to the movies if there's any seats available. Just, you know, you just go right into any event you want to get into the super bowl, no problem.
Mike
Fire hazard. Never.
Andy
Never. I walk right out.
Judge Giamatti
No, I don't.
Jason
Oh, yeah. You can't be trapped in a fire.
Mike
Yeah, and you'll let people know as they're screaming they're running out the fire hazard. Quick, this way. Nah, man, don't need it.
Andy
Yeah, you're going out the other way. See, I would do the opposite. I would say, quick, this way, and I'd run out the wall.
Brooks
Gotcha.
Mike
Come with me if you want to live.
Andy
Yeah, yeah. I'm taking the walking through walls.
Jason
Yeah, I like that one. Lucas from Patreon. Would you rather have to steal something once per day or you die?
Andy
Ooh.
Jason
Or kill something once per day or you die. What something is this, like a bug? I mean, I'll squash a whole bunch of cockroaches.
Game Host
It could be an ant, a cockroach, a spider.
Jason
You just gotta go find it.
Game Host
Yep.
Jason
Boy, that'll be a pathetic moment at the end of my day. Like, oh, gosh, I have a kid. Like, sometimes you accidentally run into a bug that you could kill to have to go out and actively pursue.
Andy
I don't know. I think pet stores have us covered here. You know, it's like, I'll go buy, you know, a hundred worms for my bearded dragon.
Mike
Okay.
Andy
And so, you know, you can get your crickets or beetles. They got beetles there. Just go buy a, you know, a literal lifetime supply of bugs so that you can live.
Jason
Yeah, I mean, that would be really easy, stealing something once per day and get away with it or what? I guess it doesn't matter.
Game Host
It's up to you.
Jason
You just have to do it.
Game Host
How good of a theft are you?
Jason
How good of a theft am I? Yeah, yeah, good one.
Andy
Well, that actually brings up a real problem, though, because let's say you're not a good theft, right? Let's say you're a bad theft and you get caught and you go where all thefts go to jail. Now, you can't steal anything.
Mike
You could steal something from your cellmate.
Jason
Yeah, you can.
Andy
Oh, you better. He better have some special.
Jason
Just steal the bed. Steal his Clothes?
Mike
Yeah.
Brooks
Steal his clothes. You got no other choice.
Mike
It doesn't say you have to hold on him. You could want him to throw him out the bars.
Brooks
Is that stealing? Yeah, I don't think that's stealing.
Jason
It's stealing if you can throw it out the bars.
Andy
Wait, wait. Okay, okay, hold on.
Jason
If he can't get it back, you've stolen it.
Andy
If you're telling me free clothes. We're in a cell. Okay, okay. And I take clothes and I throw them out the bar. Yeah, that. That other person's gonna say you theft.
Brooks
No, they're not gonna say that.
Mike
No. They'll probably call you a swear word. But like, I guess it depends on how long you have them in your possession.
Andy
I would think that's stealing.
Mike
Okay. How long do you have to. If I take something. Yeah, because I would say if you're in a store and you take something, the moment you leave, you have now stolen that option.
Jason
Regardless of whether you throw it out the window of the car five minutes later.
Mike
Well, let's say I'm at a. I'm in a store. Yeah. But I don't even.
Jason
Thefting.
Mike
I'm doing my big thefting.
Andy
Yeah, Right.
Mike
I grab a necklace and I throw it out.
Andy
But you're inside.
Judge Giamatti
Yeah.
Mike
And someone else picks it up.
Andy
You didn't steal that.
Mike
What did I just do?
Jason
And you don't know the person that.
Mike
You threw it to. Right? I'm not.
Judge Giamatti
Yeah.
Mike
I don't even care who to.
Jason
You're just into mischief.
Mike
Yes.
Jason
You're not a theft.
Mike
Did I steal? What did I do?
Andy
That's my point. When you're in that.
Mike
Did that person steal?
Andy
Oh, that person totally stole.
Jason
But they didn't. No, that person found something.
Mike
Yeah.
Jason
They didn't steal. Nobody stole.
Andy
Nobody stole. But someone was stolen.
Mike
Something was stolen. And they're like shoplifters Will be prosecuted. Didn't shoplift. I merely took your item and threw it out the door.
Brooks
That's gotta be something.
Andy
No, it's not stealing, it's throwing.
Mike
Yeah, it seems like it has to be something. But what is it?
Andy
Your Honor, he is charged with first degree throwing of the necklace.
Jason
That's mischief.
Andy
Yes.
Game Host
I don't know what is illegal.
Mike
Is mischief illegal?
Andy
Yeah, I'm on. It is.
Jason
I'm sure. What is the something of the peace? Disturber of the peace.
Mike
Oh, yeah. Maybe disturbing.
Jason
Are you disturbing some peace?
Andy
Well, I don't know how to spell mischief. Autocorrected me with. Did you mean. And it's not the word mischief.
Jason
Did you mean muskrat. That's interesting.
Brooks
Was this the one about the. I don't want to spell history.
Mike
How do you suppose M, I, S.
Jason
C, H. Is it cheap, EIF or I, E, F?
Game Host
I, E, F. Yeah.
Andy
I, E, F. Okay.
Jason
Yeah, that'll do it.
Andy
Criminal mischief.
Mike
Yeah, there's criminal mischief.
Andy
Criminal mischief. Mischief. It's property crime on the books in every state. Okay.
Mike
All right. So that's what it was.
Andy
Usually causing damage.
Mike
We think that's what it's going to be.
Andy
Yeah, I think you're going to be a criminal mischief now.
Jason
I mean, what's a sentence for mischief? That's got to be nothing. That's white collar.
Mike
That feels like the judge just wags his finger at you.
Jason
I think the. I think what Jason said that the workaround with the Beatles from a pet store. If there wasn't that, would you still go that direction? Like just go out and go for a walk and try to find something.
Mike
To squish it seems like it would be.
Jason
But.
Mike
Interesting in my old age. Like more merciful. Yeah. Like when I was a young man.
Jason
Yeah.
Mike
Bugs stood no chance. If there was a bug, I will go out of my way to make sure that I smash this insect.
Jason
Yeah. A lot of ants.
Mike
And now, like the other day we. There was. And it depends on the bug, because we were. I was in the office and I found this big, green leafy bug. And I had never seen this type of a bug before. And I was like, oh, hello, Mr. Leafy Bug. And I pick him up, I take him outside. Yeah. And I was like, you don't belong here.
Jason
There'll be a bug out there.
Mike
And then I got back in, and then there was one of those tiny little. Little black or brown beetles, and I squished him good. And it was like.
Jason
And you did it right after.
Mike
Yeah, because it was like, it's just this common beetle that, you know. Cause, like, in Arizona, it wasn't pretty enough for you. In Arizona, we have a bunch of these beetles going around.
Jason
Oh, so it's the frequency you see them.
Mike
Yeah. But there was the green leafy bug.
Jason
And I felt less common.
Mike
I felt like I couldn't smash it.
Jason
I think that because I've become more merciful with bugs later on as well. I think it has to do with. As a kid, I was much more afraid of bugs as an adult.
Mike
You weren't a bug collector?
Jason
No. I guess some kids are like that. But no, I was more like, it could hurt me. So I'll squish you. Even though they couldn't hurt you, they were just bugs. But now I feel like you're just self defense. I just feel like I used to be, like, afraid of grasshoppers.
Judge Giamatti
Right.
Jason
But now I don't even care. My kids are all afraid of them, and I'm just like, whatever, it's a grasshopper.
Andy
They're terrifying, but they.
Mike
Yeah, because they fly in all weird directions.
Jason
They don't like them.
Andy
Well, just whatever. They don't control themselves and know where they're going. They're just grass launchers.
Jason
Yeah. So anyways, I think we're done with that one.
Mike
Okay.
Jason
Yeah, I mean, I don't want to steal stuff. I don't want to be a theft Jeb from Twitter. Would you rather be able to summon your own comforter and pillow ill.
Mike
Okay.
Jason
Or be able to summon your own toilet paper at will? Ooh, that means that. Would you become a public pooper, Jason?
Andy
It would be far more interesting to poop in public with a nice.
Mike
I'll look into it.
Andy
I'll look into it. The problem is I have outgrown really nice toilet paper. That used to be the problem with pooping in public was like, that toilet paper is not nice for my bum. I like nice toilet.
Mike
That was the only problem.
Andy
Well, I mean, that was like. The biggest problem is I wanted a nice toilet paper. Yeah.
Mike
But now it wasn't the nastiness. It's not the germs and the nasty public restroom. It was the toilet paper.
Andy
It just depends on the bathroom. I mean, obviously, if I'm at some Circle K bathroom, it's not just a toilet paper problem. But, you know, if I'm at a restaurant and they've got a, you know, a bathroom where you can go to the bathroom, then, yeah, I think the toilet paper is a big problem.
Jason
Now, look, we clearly have precedent that, like, gas stations, quick trip can clean their bathrooms. It is possible to have clean restrooms.
Andy
It is possible.
Jason
So is there a directive from the top is like, to all Circle K managers, do not clean that. Like, why. Why are they so gross? They could just have somebody clean the bathroom.
Mike
They could. I imagine there's just.
Jason
Is that on purpose?
Mike
There's no repercussion if you don't. They're like, hey, get to it if you have a chance.
Jason
Oh, that. No one's ever cleaned a bathroom with that.
Mike
Exactly. That's why they're so dirty.
Jason
My wife asked me that. If she tells me before we have a party, she goes, she's gonna say two things. Get the bathroom, if you've got a chance, it ain't gonna get clean or go clean the bathroom. There is a big difference.
Andy
You need a directive.
Jason
I need a directive.
Mike
Also, the fact that, I mean, humans, and I will say specifically men, are disgusting. And I don't understand. There's this small section of the population that they're like. When they go to the bathroom, they just, like. There's no rules anymore. There's like, wee.
Jason
I will say this. I think it's a domino effect. The first man who misses.
Mike
I'm not sure that they're missing, though.
Jason
Well, listen, what I'm saying is, is once something's gone awry in the bathroom, okay. The next man has to accommodate the first man's mess.
Mike
Yes.
Jason
Therefore, his chance of making a mess is higher. He makes another mess.
Andy
Yeah.
Jason
You've got. All of a sudden, you are on a tightrope walk, slipping out of the bathroom. Out of the bathroom.
Andy
It's just a distance problem. What you're saying is if there's a little puddle on the ground.
Jason
Yeah.
Andy
You gotta take a step back.
Mike
Yes.
Andy
And then the next person has to take two steps back. And eventually you're not peeing in the urinal at all. Your back is against the wall, you're peeing on the ground, and you're playing a new game.
Brooks
It's a new game.
Andy
Yeah.
Jason
Yeah, that's true. There's a famous. I mean, we can go back in time, but our old company, we knew that somebody. And this was. This is a tech company. This ain't just Circle K. No. This is a nice building. This is a nice facilities. There's lots of, you know, very upstanding companies. But there was a person from some company somewhere that everybody knew who that person was. I mean, they didn't know.
Andy
Nobody knew who it was of them.
Jason
They knew of them because you'd go and you'd know whether they'd been in there or not.
Andy
It was unbelievable.
Jason
And, you know, when they took an off day on vacation day, you'd go.
Andy
Into that bathroom every single day. Every single day, this nice, pristine bathroom. You'd walk in there and you'd be like, they missed. I got in before him today because the floor is. Okay.
Jason
Yeah. I don't.
Andy
Or you come in and you'd go.
Jason
I mean, let's be. Let's have a conversation here.
Mike
Hold on.
Jason
Turn off the microphones. Have you ever gone on the floor.
Mike
Just straight on the floor? Like. No.
Andy
Even just a little bit, like, on purpose?
Jason
Like. No. Either way.
Andy
Well, I Mean, I've accidentally.
Jason
You've had some accident, right?
Andy
I mean. But no, of course I've never just peed on the floor.
Mike
No, there is.
Jason
It seems like there's some amount, some percentage men out there that are into that.
Mike
That's what I said. They feel like there's no rules and they just do whatever.
Jason
These are the same people littering.
Andy
Could it just be a cell phone problem?
Brooks
What do you mean?
Andy
Could it just be they're on their phone and they have no idea where they're going.
Jason
They just get in the general vicinity of the bathroom and let it go.
Andy
They let it out and they just play on their phone and they think they're doing okay.
Mike
If this person is wearing any types of shorts.
Andy
Hold on, I gotta confess something.
Mike
Oh, no.
Jason
What? You've done that?
Andy
Yes.
Mike
Did you just remember something?
Andy
Yeah. There was one time you were on a phone. It was within the last month.
Brooks
Is it here?
Andy
No. No, it wasn't here.
Jason
It wasn't here?
Andy
No, it wasn't here. I don't even. I don't even remember where it was. It was obviously somebody else remembers. I'm not often there.
Brooks
What happened?
Andy
So I start, I go to the stall I surveyed. Wait, is this stall or is it a urinal? A urinal. And I'm on my phone and I'm looking at it.
Brooks
I didn't realize how low this urinal was. It was so low. I was on top of it. You were a waterfall onto the ground. You peed onto the. I peed on the top of the toilet. On the top of the urinal. But I didn't know. And then all of a sudden, I.
Andy
Don'T know, five seconds, and I was.
Brooks
Like, oh, my goodness.
Mike
Did you visually see it or did you. Were you wearing shorts?
Andy
And so all of a sudden, I visually saw it.
Mike
Your ankles are getting missed.
Andy
No, no, I didn't. Somehow it was a perfect. Like, I didn't feel it. I was not made. I was not alerted to it. I just went to check in. I went to check in and went.
Brooks
Oh, my gosh, I'm peeing on the toilet Switch from I've never done that to being the worst offender ever so quickly.
Andy
Well, and then here's the problem I have. I can't do anything once it's done. I don't have cleaning supplies. I'm not gonna go.
Jason
You get out of there.
Brooks
Yes. That's what you do.
Judge Giamatti
Get out.
Andy
You.
Brooks
Because you dip and run. If you stay there, someone else might know you did that.
Andy
Could you imagine? Let's just play this out, okay? I walk into a bathroom and I see a guy with a bunch of.
Brooks
Toilet paper cleaning the top of this toilet.
Mike
I'd be like, you didn't pee on.
Andy
The top of that, did you? I mean, I don't want to. I don't want to be caught.
Jason
I get out of there. I would get out.
Andy
That's happened.
Jason
That's incredible. Now here's the thing.
Mike
Oh, my God.
Jason
If you never checked in, could you. Is it possible you could have finished and left?
Andy
I think so. I think. I think I would have had no idea. I mean, of course that's what I. Oh, man. Plus nothing.
Jason
Man, that was unbelievable. All right, we are moving on.

Jason
All right, what are we doing?
Mike
Al?
Game Host
We surveyed 100 people and all the answers are on the board. If you get the first answer, it's worth three points. The second answer is worth two points. Any other answer is worth one points. Oh, my God. That literally happened last time we did this. And the final round is worth double points.
Jason
All right, let's kick it off. How many rounds are we doing?
Game Host
Seven rounds.
Jason
Seven rounds of man of the people. I cannot wait to lose. Okay, I'd rather be spelling.
Game Host
All right, gentlemen, get ready. Keep your eyes on those buttons. Name a place where it would be smart for a lawyer to advertise.
Jason
Freeway.
Game Host
Billboard is the number four answer.
Jason
Okay, well, that's not a very good answer, is it?
Game Host
Keep an eye on those buttons.
Andy
I'm gonna go bus.
Game Host
That is not on the board.
Andy
Bus stop. Bus. Also not on the board. Bus bench.
Jason
Mike, it's free.
Mike
One, two. Television.
Game Host
That is the number three answer.
Mike
Okay, how is TV not the number one answer?
Andy
Yeah, TV should really be the number one answer.
Game Host
The number one answer was jail. The number two answer was court, tv, billboard, and hospital.
Jason
I feel like we really did well considering the top two are bogus answers.
Mike
If you are in court, my friend, it is too late. Also, where are they going to advertise? And if you're in jail, are there.
Andy
A bunch of ads in jail?
Mike
That's the next level.
Andy
I haven't been in jail, but I didn't think that there was just a bunch of ads.
Jason
I'm surprised that those people surveyed are that interesting.
Mike
Go to the jail. What's the CPM here for? Advertising in your jail.
Jason
So one point.
Mike
That's ridiculous.
Jason
We did well.
Mike
That's the high score.
Game Host
All right, going on around. Number two. Name a reason that you would stay inside your house on a Saturday.
Andy
I buzzed in first.

Jason
That's what I was going to go with.

All right, you're sick.
Jason
Oh, that's the next only good answer.

Brooks
Yeah, that's not bad.
Jason
Okay, good answer.
Game Host
Good answer. Sleep, nap, tired. Number three answer.
Jason
I was gonna say work.
Game Host
Housework was the number five answer. And then watching TV was the number four answer.
Jason
Okay.
Game Host
All right, we're moving on to round number three. Other than a job, name something for which you would fill out an application.
Mike
You didn't reset the buttons.

Yeah.
Game Host
Credit card is the number one answer.
Andy
As soon as I said loan.
Jason
Yeah.
Game Host
Does rental application and insurance being 4.
Mike
And 5, as soon as you said loan, I knew I didn't have an answer.
Game Host
All right, through three rounds, we got Andy at 2, Mike at 3, Jason at 5.
Jason
Love losing at this game. Go on.
Game Host
All right, we're going on to round number four. Name an article of clothing that children are always losing.
Andy
I'm going to go with shoes.
Game Host
Shoes is the number two answer.
Andy
That is. Those are not parents.
Jason
Socks.
Game Host
Socks is the number one answer.
Jason
Thank you. Had to buy my kid all those.
Mike
Socks are gonna lose their glasses.
Brooks
Oh, the magic.
Game Host
Glasses are not on the board.
Mike
Oh, really?
Brooks
What?
Game Host
This survey was obviously not done in Arizona. Finishing out the board, we have.
Jason
Oh, scarf or hat?
Game Host
Gloves, hat and jacket.
Jason
See, we have advantages out here.
Andy
So you traveled, huh, to do these surveys?
Game Host
I used the Internet.
Jason
Okay.
Game Host
All right, round number where we at five.
Mike
It's not going well. Magic.
Game Host
All right. If an alien landed at Christmas time, name a Christmas tradition. That would be hard to explain.

Mike
Christmas trees in your House.
Game Host
A tree inside your house is the number three answer.
Andy
Number three.
Jason
I'm going to say Christmas lights on.
Game Host
Your house, not on the board.
Mike
Cool. Cool. That one's easy. That one's easy because they're just awesome.
Game Host
Gift exchange was number two. Caroling and mistletoe.
Jason
I almost said caroling, too.
Andy
I feel like the aliens would understand the mistletoe.
Jason
I feel like I'm gonna have to start smashing this button before Jason.
Mike
That's. That's how it goes, man.
Jason
And just try to guess.
Mike
Yes. Did you hear bad weather over here. They gave him 10 seconds.
Andy
Yeah. Thank you.
Game Host
All right, round number six. Before a formal part time job, name a way that kids earn money.
Mike
Chores.
Game Host
Chores is the number one answer.
Mike
You're darn right.
Andy
What other answer is.

Good luck, suckers. Internship not on the board, unpaid.
Game Host
Andy is so frustrated. You're good. Jason, you have three.
Jason
I hate this game.

Game Host
Mowing lawns is the number four answer.
Andy
Okay.
Game Host
Babysitting being number two.
Andy
Oh, that's.
Mike
Oh, that's lemonade stand. Oh, no one makes money with the lemonade stand.
Andy
You know lemonade stands. Now they're taking Venmo. I mean, like, genuinely. I've seen a couple. Well, it makes sense. We don't have, like, cash on us.
Jason
Have you ever gone Venmo? Then they better like it. Better be a to go cup filled up with ice. Make it easy for me, too.
Mike
Have you ever stopped at a children's lemonade stand that was not your own kids?
Jason
Yes.
Andy
Yes what?
Jason
Not in a car, though.
Andy
I stop every time I see one.
Jason
No, like, if I see him in the neighborhood, I'll walk down to it. If I see it in the neighborhood on purpose.
Mike
And these kids don't have, like, a food handler's card or anything?
Jason
No, no food handlers card, Mike.
Mike
Oh, man.
Jason
Just trying to make 25 cents.
Andy
Honestly, usually their lemonade sucks. Yeah, it's not good.
Jason
They don't know how to make it.
Mike
Why are you supporting this local business?
Andy
I'm supporting the children.
Jason
Yeah.
Andy
They are a future. All right, what round are we at?
Game Host
All right, we are through six rounds, which means this round will be worth double.
Mike
Double points.
Jason
Andy, you have zero will Boo. Worth double.
Game Host
You do have the ability to influence who wins this. You do not have the ability to win.
Jason
Of course not.
Game Host
Andy has five, Mike has seven, and Jason has 11. Okay, round number seven. Thank you. Tell me something that you would feel before you buy it.
Mike
Carpet not on the board. Clothing.
Game Host
Clothing and materials is number two.
Andy
What?
Mike
Oh, Man.
Game Host
Jason, you have three seconds.
Andy
I'm gonna feel two. Jello.
Game Host
Jello is the number one answer.
Andy
Yeah.
Game Host
No furniture. It's not on the board. Fruit and vegetables was the number one answer.
Mike
Of course.
Andy
Gotta squeeze that candy.
Jason
What about that carpet, guys?
Game Host
And then pillows, linens and bread. I've never felt bread, but you got.
Mike
To give the bread a little squeeze. Do you?
Andy
But real tight one.
Brooks
Just squeeze next time.
Andy
No, I don't want that one. That one's ruined.
Jason
Next time you guys go buy carpet. I don't want you to feel it. Do not touch that carpet.
Game Host
We have never had this happen. But you guys are tied. Jason and Mike, because.
Jason
All right, do you have another. Do you have a backup question?
Game Host
Look for a bonus round here.
Mike
Well, let me say this.
Jason
I won't participate.
Mike
I didn't technically. But in the spirit of that first question, I feel like I got the number one answer. Considering that jail and court are nonsense.
Jason
Jail and court were a joke.
Mike
I challenged that question.
Andy
All right, well, then we'll do a tiebreaker here.
Mike
Yeah. Oh, okay.
Jason
I surveyed a bunch of people shopping for carpet. What was one of the most important things.
Brooks
Yeah, that's right.
Andy
I said it first.
Jason
That's right.
Game Host
All right. I just got the first one I pulled up here. Name an occupation that might get tired of wearing the same thing every day.
Judge Giamatti
A doctor.
Game Host
Doctor is the number two answer.
Brooks
Shoot. That was what I was going to go with.
Andy
And his face said it was Firefighter.
Game Host
That is not on the board. Police officer was.
Jason
That's the one I was thinking of.
Game Host
I'll give it to you for that. But you still lost. Mike. Mike. Congratulations. You are this week's man of the people.
Jason
What a good job. Considering magic show is part of your winning answers, let's move on.
Podcast Narrator
The Spitballers draft Limu Temu and Doug.
Jason
Here we have the Limu Emu in its natural habitat, helping people customize their car insurance and save hundreds with Liberty Mutual. Fascinating.

Andy
Limu. Is that guy with the binoculars watching us?

Cut the camera.

Jason
Well, we are here. It is draft time and we are drafting things that are yellow. Lot of good things that are yellow, Mike. And you get the first pick, so you're certainly going to get the best one.
Mike
Oh, I am not there. Because there are many things that are yellow when you just. When you just think of it. So I'm gonna start like, there's a.
Andy
One on one here. I'm really surprised.
Jason
There's definitely a one on one for Jason, maybe.
Andy
Let's see.
Mike
All right, well, I'm gonna go with a lemon.
Andy
Okay, well, that was on the top list for me. Not on my list.
Jason
It is yellow. It's truly yellow.
Andy
Very yellow.
Mike
It's very yellow. It's very naturally yellow.
Jason
No, I thought you don't like lemons.
Mike
No, I like lemons. I don't like lemon desserts.
Jason
You like lemonade? I do.
Mike
You're like, it's not a lemon dessert.
Jason
Okay, so lemons.
Mike
Lemons.
Jason
Versatile.
Andy
Versatile. Very yellow.
Jason
Very.
Mike
Yes. Extremely yellow.
Andy
Okay, I'm on the clock.
Mike
You are.
Andy
There's no way P. I'm going.
Brooks
I'm taking P. Wait, that's the 101?
Andy
Yeah, that's the 101. Of course, Marty.
Mike
But always.
Andy
It is for me, Mike. It is for me. No water here.
Jason
Have you seen the top of that urinal?
Andy
Yeah. I mean, come on. On the spitballers, you're telling me the one on one isn't P?
Jason
Wasn't even on the list.
Mike
It's not on my list. No, because you're gross. I'm above that.
Jason
Yeah. He's got lemons.
Andy
I saw Brooks back there shaking his head. Yeah, he knew.
Mike
That's the 101.
Andy
Yeah.
Jason
I mean, you definitely laid your claim to urine. So I've got the pick.
Mike
You do.
Jason
Which means I'm going to take a banana. I mean, banana was the easy 101 for Jason. I assumed it's your favorite fruit, and you don't even have it because you have pee.
Andy
That is true. It was a tough call between banana and pea, but I went with P. Well, good.
Brooks
Then I get to follow up banana.
Mike
Oh, goodness gracious.
Jason
And take that from you and follow it up with something even far better than a banana, which is cheese.
Mike
Oh, yeah.
Brooks
Cheese is the goat.
Jason
That's the number one. Cheese is great.
Mike
Cheddar is on my list.
Jason
Yeah. You know what it is? It's very Gouda. It's awesome. It's cheese. It's yellow. It's great. Wait, Gouda?
Mike
Yeah.
Jason
It's yellow, too, Mike.
Mike
It is.
Jason
You betcha.
Mike
Gouda is a yellow cheese.
Jason
All the Gouda I eat is yellow. Yeah.
Mike
Okay.
Jason
Yeah, there's light yellows and dark yellows.
Andy
And white, just like there's white cheddar and yellow cheddar.
Jason
All right, it's back to you now. Peas off the board.
Andy
Dang it. Oh, wait, I have it. So we're good?
Jason
Yeah.
Andy
Okay, so this was diarrhea.
Brooks
You guys ever had yellow diarrhea? I'm sorry that we make this show.
Jason
I'm sorry this exists.
Andy
Oh, man. If only it was yellow. I'm gonna take the sun.
Mike
Ooh, good pick.
Jason
Good pick.
Mike
Way better than P. Actually. Terrible pick.
Andy
Well, I know it's white, technically, but everybody knows the sun is yellow.
Jason
You're taking the stereotypical view of the sun.
Mike
Wait, wait, wait. I know that technically it's not actually yellow.
Jason
I mean, not all lemons are yellow either, right?
Andy
That's correct.
Jason
I mean, they're green.
Andy
Certainly not in their entire life.
Mike
So are bananas.
Andy
Yeah, see?
Game Host
So, but.
Andy
But here's. Here's the truth. When you look at the sun, it's yellow. If we were to go to outer space and look from outer space. Okay, it's white.
Jason
If you drew any of these things on a piece of paper for your kids, what color would you color them?
Mike
I would color it yellow.
Jason
Yeah. As I would the pea, for the record.
Game Host
Yeah.
Jason
I would not be drawing like, this.
Mike
Is a really hydrated man. I just need to point out that scientifically you are not correct.
Andy
I am never correct scientifically, Mike.
Jason
All right, Mike, you have. Jason has urine in the sun. I've got banana and cheese. Don't mix them. And then Mike has lemons.
Mike
Yes.
Jason
And something else.
Mike
Now I am going to go, there's a lot of stuff that's yellow. I'm going to start this off with police tape or caution tape.
Jason
Caution tape.
Mike
I mean, you're just a big fan.
Jason
It's just.
Mike
It's very yellow.
Jason
Just stay away.
Mike
And I'm trying to. Trying to diversify my draft picks here.
Jason
It's pretty hard to cross caution tape.
Mike
You're not allowed to. Yeah. And then they make it yellow so that it's like, clearly.
Jason
See. Yeah.
Andy
There.
Mike
This is tape. Now, is it. Is it police tape or is it caution tape?
Andy
I think it's caution tape.
Jason
It's police tape if they use it.
Mike
So, like, I can use it and.
Andy
Yeah, you can rope off anything you want.
Mike
And I could say, sir, please, please don't enter this area.
Jason
Caution is what you're saying.
Andy
Honestly, I feel like that shouldn't be sold. You know what I mean? Like.
Mike
Right.
Andy
It's too powerful a tool.
Mike
And on top of that.
Jason
No, those are the ones that say police ones say official caution tape. You can buy unofficial caution tape, which.
Mike
If it actually says. It probably says do not cross. But if all if it said was caution tape, I can go in there and just be careful.
Andy
Yeah, be careful. Have caution.
Jason
Actually, that kind of tape is what's around, like, potholes and stuff. Whereas crime scene tape. Does it say something different on the tape?
Mike
Probably says police sign.
Andy
Police line.
Game Host
Yeah, police line, do not cross. But you can buy it on Amazon.
Brooks
I can buy police tape?
Game Host
Yes, you can.
Jason
You know, those are fun. Don't do this. But those are fun social experiments in my head. Cause people will obey anything that looks official. Even if I walked up in plain clothes with some police tape and I start taping off an area, like, I could probably tape right in between a line that people are in, and they'd have to go get in another line because they would just obey it.
Mike
If you had a construction vest on.
Jason
Oh, that'd be.
Mike
Or a suit.
Jason
Yeah.
Mike
Then people would absolutely be like, name.
Jason
Tag with a lanyard.
Mike
You'd see a bunch of people, it just says Todd getting all upset. And they're like, well, I'll go around now.
Andy
Don't do this. But, you know, the next time you're at a restaurant or something and someone treats you rude and have real bad service, just go caution off the front of that building. Just, just. Just put a little caution tape right there. And then you're good. Just jokes on them. No more customers.
Jason
Yeah. I may or may not have seen a YouTube video of somebody just throwing a bike lock on the front two doors of a place because they can't do anything about it.
Mike
See, now that's criminal mischief.
Jason
That's criminal mischief. All right, Mike, you Have limits and caution tape. But you have to drop another yellow thing.
Mike
I have plenty of them on my list. And for this one, I'm going to go. We got to add some cuteness.
Jason
No.
Mike
Into this draft.
Jason
No.
Andy
Wow.
Mike
Yeah. I don't. I mean, I'm.
Andy
There's something cute that Andy really wants.
Mike
I'm going to go with a duckling.
Jason
Oh, all right. That's fine.
Mike
And he got very worried. But yeah. Little. Little baby ducks that are very yellow. And they are incredible.
Jason
I mean, the yellow ones are.
Mike
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jason
No, that makes sense. So not a rubber ducky, an actual real life duckling.
Judge Giamatti
Yes.
Jason
People don't keep ducks as pets, do they?
Andy
Not really.
Mike
It's not impossible.
Jason
Like, I like ducklings. And then you have to give them. Give them back to the.
Mike
To the world. One of my buddies I grew up with, they had some farmland. They had chickens, and then they had a couple ducks.
Jason
Okay.
Mike
And they were awesome.
Jason
Really?
Judge Giamatti
Yeah.
Mike
I mean, they take huge dumps.
Jason
Oh, do they?
Mike
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Jason
What a show we got here.
Andy
Is that why they're called ducks? This is just big dumps.
Jason
No. I don't know if you got a way to shut this guy's mic off.
Mike
What is that?
Andy
I don't have.
Jason
Somebody give this guy.
Andy
Do they go on the ground or do they go in the water?
Mike
They do. They'll do both.
Andy
Really?
Mike
Yeah. Sink or swim, Wherever they are. You're asking if the turd sinks or swims?
Andy
Yes, I am.
Mike
That part I can't recall.
Andy
Car.
Mike
There's probably a sink. Very dense.
Andy
All right, I think we've lost Andy. All right.
Brooks
What is happening?
Andy
All right.
Brooks
Jason's on the clock.
Andy
I'm on the clock.
Mike
I got. It's not why they call them dumps. Cause if I change a couple letters, it sounds like dump.
Brooks
Exactly. You see me? That was your joke. This is the guy that pees on the top of urinals, man.
Andy
And drafts Pete. All right, so I've got. I've got pee in the sun.
Mike
Yeah.
Andy
And I'm going to get two more picks here.
Mike
Well, just one right now.
Andy
Sure. I'm going to take something that I love, a lot of people hate, but there's no debating its color. Mustard.
Jason
Oh, I think that'll be a popular pick among the mustoni, mustard, onions.
Andy
Oh, nice pick.
Mike
It's mustardians.
Jason
Mustardians.
Mike
Thank you.
Andy
Do you guys like mustard?
Jason
I do. I like mustard. It's not as much as you.
Andy
That's fair.
Mike
It took some time. I did not like it as a Wee lad. But it's grown on me now somehow.
Jason
In my head, and you correct me if I'm wrong, but like Dijon mustard, I feel like I'm supposed to like more because it's.
Andy
It's fancy.
Jason
It's fancy.
Game Host
Yeah.
Jason
But, like, it is a completely different taste than regular mustard.
Andy
100%. You're supposed to like it more because it's fancy. But worse, I don't think it's not as good.
Jason
And a lot of times, it has little seeds in it. Right.
Andy
Yeah.
Mike
What makes it Dijon? What's added in there, Mr. Chef?
Andy
Well, if you have to know.
Mike
I do.
Andy
I think it's, like, almost. I want to say it's like mayo.
Jason
There's actually mustard seeds in it or something.
Andy
Yeah.
Mike
Okay.
Jason
So. But I'm trying to figure out what makes it. What is Dijon mustard made of mustard? It's mustard seeds. I'll tell you.
Mike
That's it.
Andy
It's made with brown or black mustard seeds and white wine.
Jason
I just feel like the regular mustard's like, that stuff's always smooth.
Andy
Yeah. I mean, classic yellow mustard.
Jason
Yeah.
Andy
I'm taking yellow mustard.
Mike
Yeah. It's a good pick.
Jason
All right, so urine sun mustard. I've got banana and cheese and two picks. I'm going with Pikachu. Pikachu's the third pick. That's the one. I thought you were going to sneak out. I wanted Pikachu. I thought it'd come back to me. Luckily, it did because of duckling. So Pikachu. Yellow, cute, popular.
Mike
That's true.
Jason
Those are three qualities that I want in a pick. My last one. Just trying to figure out whether these ones count.
Andy
Okay.
Jason
Because there are. One of them is gold to gold. Gold's not yellow. Or is gold yellow?
Andy
Gold, yellow.
Jason
If you drew yellow. If you drew gold on a piece of paper, you draw yellow.
Andy
Yeah.
Judge Giamatti
Yeah.
Jason
So can I take gold?
Andy
I will let you take gold.
Mike
I will not.
Jason
I mean, you're not gonna. I can move on.
Mike
It's not very yellow to say, like, the actual gold.
Jason
I'm not gonna worry about it.
Andy
Okay.
Jason
I'm gonna go with the brick road.
Andy
No.
Jason
As in the yellow brick road.
Brooks
No, give him gold. That was my pick on my way to Oz.
Andy
Dang it. I was all. I knew nobody would have the yellow brick road.
Jason
I'm taking the brick road.
Andy
Darn it.
Mike
That's a great pick.
Andy
That is a great pick.
Mike
That's way better than gold.
Jason
All right.
Mike
Yeah.
Jason
I was just kidding about gold. If you want gold, Jay, it's There for you.
Mike
Yeah. Andy will allow it.
Andy
No, I've got plenty of other things on my list. I'm just trying to decide what's the best one. Man, I really wanted Yellow Brick Road. I'm not gonna lie to you guys.
Mike
That was gonna set you up, man.
Andy
Pretty devastating. I think. Even though there's something I like much better on my list, I'm gonna go with the classic here. The super yellow, incredibly quintessential school bus.
Jason
I don't mind that pick at all.
Mike
It's on my list, actually.
Jason
It gets a great pick. It's iconic. Yeah. If you were, like, drawing a picture of a town, you need to draw a school bus in there. Did any of you ever ride the school bus?
Andy
Yes, a handful of times, but not regularly.
Mike
Yeah, no, the.
Judge Giamatti
I rode the bus a lot.
Jason
Interesting. What was that like? Was it a good time? No, I've always heard bad things.
Mike
Remember my tales of. I thought I had told the story of, like, when I was in junior high and we rode the bus, and it's a real chicken or egg situation. Now that I'm an adult and I can look back. Our bus driver was as crotchety and cranky as it possibly gets.
Jason
Impossible not to be.
Mike
And you're like, well, did that happen? Was this person always this way? Or was it because of all the. The hooligans on the bus who are throwing scissors out the windows at people.
Jason
Yeah.
Mike
As well as other objects.
Jason
It was a mix. It was a mix.
Judge Giamatti
Yeah.
Mike
The bus, and it's Arizona, and it's just. It was unpleasant.
Jason
All right, so I finished with banana cheese, Pikachu, and Yellow Brick Road. Jason got urine, sun, mustard, school bus. Mike, you have a lemon caution tape, a little yellow duckling, and one final pick.
Mike
All right, we're going to close it with emojis.
Jason
I. Dude, it was on the list.
Andy
Yeah, it wasn't on my list. That's a good one.
Jason
It was that or the brick road. Man. That was good. I like that pick.
Mike
The yellow face. Yeah, they're all yellow, which I imagine that's. Did that start because of, like, just the original yellow?
Andy
Yeah, the happy face. The classic happy face. I think that's where that was like, the original emoji. Before these existed, I had.
Jason
I had pineapple on the list. I thought. I thought Mike would go pineapple. I got Big Bird on the list.
Mike
Big Bird is on my list.
Jason
Minions.
Andy
Okay, that's good.
Jason
I wasn't sure if honey was yellow. I don't think we're ever going to do a Draft for that so we.
Mike
Could do things that are gold.
Jason
There's honey, there's gold and gold. No, that's all I had left on my list. You guys got good picks.
Andy
I have banana runts, which I felt like I couldn't take because bananas were taken. Banana candy, egg yolk.
Brooks
It's always got something different.
Andy
Homer Simpson.
Jason
Oh, that was a great pick.
Andy
You didn't take post it notes. And the one that I said that I like most it notes good, too.
Mike
Yeah.
Andy
Corn on the cob.
Jason
Yeah, yeah.
Mike
It's on. You guys have listed or off the cob. It's also yellow most everything. But I had this one on here for Brooksie. A submarine.
Jason
Absolutely. That's a good one.
Mike
But there's only really one, actually two yellow submarines. Because the Disneyland ones are pretty yellow. Last time, I remember.
Podcast Narrator
What did we learn today?
Mike
Oh, man. I learned that Jason is the pisser.
Jason
I learned. Yeah. Don't be well distracted. That was on my list.
Andy
Yeah. I learned that you can be called a theft.
Jason
Yeah, I did. Yeah.
Mike
Andy, let me ask you this.
Jason
Yeah.
Mike
Did so you. The.
Jason
The.
Mike
The person at the building was never caught.
Jason
Never caught.
Mike
Are you now, at this point, 100% sure it wasn't Jason the whole time?
Jason
I am not. Jason's very distractible, and now I'm worried.
Mike
Like, it could have been. And he. He may not have even known.
Jason
He could have been completely unaware. And then after he would get done at the end, he would look down and go. He was.
Brooks
He was just here.
Andy
So you're telling me that when I would have that experience of going in and say, he hasn't been here yet today? That was always my first trip.
Jason
That was always your first trip. Yeah.
Andy
Then the second trip.
Mike
Yes.
Andy
Oh, he came between when I was.
Mike
Here or he snuck in while I was going to the bathroom.
Jason
All right, everybody, put your phones away when you use the restroom. That's the message for today for Al Borland, Jess Giamatti, and the three of us. Goodbye.
Mike
Goodbye.

Episode: Ducks and Dumps & Things That Are Yellow - Spit Hits!
Date: April 17, 2025
In this hilariously candid episode, the Spitballers Podcast trio—Andy, Mike, and Jason—return with a fresh batch of absurd "Would You Rather" questions, a riotous debate on the rules and loopholes of theft and murder hypotheticals, an unexpectedly confessional moment in the men’s room, a spirited round of "Man of the People," and an over-the-top draft of "Things That Are Yellow." Fans of clean, relatable dad-humor will find both laughter and a little childhood nostalgia in this episode.
[03:13 - 08:09]
The Dilemma:
Immediate Reactions:
“I'm tired every single day of my life right now.” (Andy, 05:18)
Consensus:
[08:18 - 12:39]
“Never waiting in line for one of those sporting events… you’re just walking in through the side of the building.” (Jason, 12:07)
[12:53 - 19:26]
The Scenario: Must either steal something or kill something (anything) once per day, or die.
Their Take:
Murdering bugs as the practical workaround—“You can get your crickets or beetles… just buy a lifetime supply so you can live.” (Andy, 13:28)
Extended, hilarious debate about what constitutes theft:
“If you take someone’s clothing and throw it out the bars… Is that stealing?” (Jason, 14:29)
Mike and Andy spiral into legal semantics (15:07–17:02), concluding most “throwing” is criminal mischief, not theft.
“Your Honor, he is charged with first degree throwing of the necklace.” (Andy, 16:05)
Older and softer on bugs, they recount youthful bug murders vs. recent rescues:
"When I was a young man… bugs stood no chance." (Mike, 17:39)
“I think it has to do with… as a kid, I was much more afraid of bugs.” (Jason, 18:44)
[19:41 - 26:27]
“Is there a directive from the top, like, to all Circle K managers, DO NOT clean that?” (Jason, 20:52) “Once something’s gone awry in the bathroom…the next man has to accommodate the first man's mess.” (Jason, 21:56)
“So you’ve gone from ‘never’ to being the worst offender ever!” (Brooks, 25:42)
[29:21 - 39:07]
[40:50 - 54:55]
Each hosts drafts four “yellow” things, with rationale and plenty of trash talk.
Picks include:
Hilarious runner-ups discussed:
Quotes:
“I was just kidding about gold. If you want gold, Jay, it’s there for you.” (Andy, 52:14) “I think that'll be a popular pick among the mustardians.” (Jason, 49:44) “I may or may not have seen a YouTube video of somebody just throwing a bike lock on the front two doors of a place because they can't do anything about it. See, now that's criminal mischief.” (Jason, 47:16)
“I've had a newborn baby. This is exactly what it's like… The 12 hours makes perfect sense if you can plan properly.” (Jason, 04:13)
“It’s a domino effect…eventually, you're not peeing in the urinal at all, your back is against the wall, you're peeing on the ground, and you're playing a new game.” (Andy, 22:23)
“I go to the stall… I'm on my phone… I peed on the top of the toilet. On the top of the urinal. But I didn't know…” (Andy, 24:53)
“I'm taking P. Wait, that's the 101? …It is for me, Mike. It is for me.” (Andy, 41:54)
“I'm going with Pikachu. Pikachu's the third pick. That's the one I thought you were going to sneak out.” (Jason, 51:16)
“Your Honor, he is charged with first degree throwing of the necklace.” (Andy, 16:05)
The episode is uproariously casual, honest, and sometimes surprisingly confessional. There’s an abundance of “dad logic,” wordplay, and self-deprecation—all characteristic of the Spitballers’ clean, family-friendly yet irreverent humor. The tone is playful, often veering into tangents but always snapping back with hilarious self-awareness ("I'm sorry we make this show," Andy, 43:37).
This episode delivers quintessential Spitballers: relatable dad complaints, comedy over awkward everyday moments (especially in public bathrooms), riotous debates over the minutiae of hypothetical situations, and an epic draft about yellow things. It’s a perfect snapshot of the show’s unique ability to mix nonsense, genuine friendship, and spontaneous laughs that resonate well beyond the episode.
