Josh
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. A sandwich with ham, potato, cream cheese. Let's go.
Mike
Mmm.
Josh
Delicious.
Mike
Tremendous.
Josh
Thank you.
Mike
There's so much, but I'd say we're. When something happens like that on this show, it was 100% related to the draft. Usually we were at 100%. Right now I've broken the mold that has dropped.
Josh
Nothing to do with today's episode. It had a little bit to do, in fact, entirely with what was on my screen. So.
Mike
Oh, you just.
Andy
You.
Mike
Real life into the heart.
Josh
Yes.
Andy
Is there a potato on your sandwich?
Josh
I'm looking at. Well, you know, do I do the potato cream cheese soup? Do I do a ham sandwich?
Mike
The.
Andy
Let's go. Is what got me. I mean, the finisher was the.
Josh
I just wanted to eat.
Andy
So there's a couple things going on. Welcome to the spitballers. Episode 313. Amazing.
Mike
Yeah, you know me.
Andy
It is negative 1,000 degrees in the studio right now.
Josh
Feels nice.
Mike
Which it's not like it's literally snowing in Florida.
Andy
Right?
Mike
And we're like, no, but We're. Guys, it's 50 degrees.
Andy
No, it was 30 degrees outside this morning.
Mike
It's 30 degrees here for about 10 minutes.
Andy
No.
Mike
And then the sun comes out and It's. You just plus 20 degrees immediately.
Andy
Look, it's cold.
Josh
It's 50 right now.
Andy
Papa Josh is very upset. Look, we don't have conditioning in this studio because we've never need. I mean, no heat, I should say. Then Jason is all but sure that he's not doing the scat. And I wish I thought it was me today. And then all of a sudden, two seconds before the show. It just makes sense that you got where you got is what I'm saying, Right.
Josh
Papa Joss is like, oh, Jason, you got the scat today. What? I thought Andy was getting me, and then the music started. And honestly, I thought Tater cream Cheese on the screen.
Andy
Even when he said you had the scat. I thought Josh was getting you. And I wasn't going to say anything. I was like, he was just going to make you do it. But welcome into the spitballers. Would you rather life advice? And we are drafting a very special draft today.
Mike
Do our best.
Andy
Doctors who aren't doctors.
Josh
That's right. They might be called doctors, but they're not doctors. There's no diploma.
Mike
No. We really gotta reign this thing in. Also, I did figure out doctorates versus doctors.
Andy
That's what I was gonna get to right there. That's exactly what I was gonna bring up. As we were talking about who would be eligible to be doctors that are not doctors. And really what we're mostly talking about here is we're going to draft people that are called Doctor. It's like a surname for them, but it doesn't really moniker.
Mike
It's fun.
Andy
They don't got a family practice. Okay. They're not working. But Dr. Phil came up, and that's a PhD, not an MD. That's why we have. That's the differential. He's not a doctor, but he's got a doctorate.
Josh
He's got a doctorate, which you get.
Andy
To be called doctor if you have a doctor.
Josh
And that's what we need to abolish. That's what we're saying we need to get rid of.
Mike
Well, we need to pivot. Because I'm saying, like, if you go through all of the schooling to get your doctorate, like, yeah, I'm fine with it. You have earned yourself a title. Because, I mean, that's.
Josh
You should be doctor. That's bachelor, doctorate of psychology, Phil.
Mike
Cause you got to go. You got to get a bachelor, master's, and then doctorate, right?
Andy
Yeah.
Mike
So, I mean, that is so much dissertation.
Andy
All that time.
Mike
You have earned the right. You have earned yourself a title. But in our dumb English language of we have people called doctors who are for health. And then you're like, my name is Doctor thing. You're like, oh, what are you a doctor of? You're like, philosophy.
Josh
Oh, can you write me a script? No, but I can tell you how you feel.
Andy
Don't you see?
Mike
It might me.
Andy
That's our fault. Oh, it's not their fault. Because a doctor had always meant a doctor to do different things. We just associated the moniker of doctor of medicine. We shorthanded them to like, well, because it bring me to the doctor.
Mike
But you go see the doctor, it's inoculation.
Andy
Because we did that, though. We Decided, that's what.
Mike
But it's too late. It already happened.
Josh
But even if I go see a doctorate of psychology, I would say, I'm going to see a psychologist.
Andy
No, I say, what did my doctor say? What script did my doctor give me?
Mike
You'd say that saying, if you're on for a psychologist.
Andy
Yeah. If you got a script, you'd be like, what did my doctor give me?
Josh
If they can write a script. Yeah, if they can write a script.
Mike
I'm saying, if you're on an airplane and you hear, is there a doctor on board?
Josh
Someone raises their hand. They're like, yes, yes.
Andy
I have a PhD in theology.
Mike
I'm a doctor of interior.
Josh
Sit down.
Mike
Interior design of art history. It's like.
Andy
And you win the argument. And you win the argument.
Mike
But I'm trying to help these people.
Josh
Yeah. So what we need to do is we need to.
Andy
Lowercase and capitals.
Josh
We need to change one of them. Now, the easiest.
Mike
No, it's doctorate. Doctor is an occupation. You were not changing that.
Josh
Okay, so medical.
Andy
Doctors are doctors.
Mike
That's locked in.
Andy
The other people are doctorates. That's too long.
Josh
Doctorate. Phil. Doctorate just rolls off the tongue.
Andy
Yeah. Doctor at Oz.
Josh
Yeah.
Mike
No, I'm not. You got to have a different name. We can. I don't know if we can figure it out right now, but just, we got to think about this.
Andy
Okay. Well, in the meantime.
Josh
Would you rather.
Mike
Professor's just a college teacher, right?
Andy
A Prof. Yeah.
Mike
Okay. Professors. Professor is awesome.
Josh
You're saying the job.
Andy
There's only one title better than that.
Mike
I'm saying the title of professor is. That's awesome.
Andy
That's great.
Mike
What's better?
Andy
Headmaster.
Josh
Oh, that is. That is better. That is definitely better.
Andy
Have we ever drafted titles?
Mike
No, I don't think we.
Josh
Yeah, we got Mr. Mrs. Dr. Headmaster.
Andy
Yeah.
Mike
I mean, yeah, but Headmaster.
Josh
Oh, we got to draft titles.
Andy
You feel like you're in Hogwarts?
Mike
Oh, well, yes. A headmaster is like if a magical. If a child misbehaves, the headmaster is picking them up, shoulder pressing them and throwing them out.
Andy
Or casting a spell.
Josh
Yeah, probably casting a spell, but they could use their strength.
Mike
I'm over on Matilda.
Andy
I see.
Mike
I see.
Andy
Would you rather. Andrew from the website, would you rather your brain actually release an audible. Oh, gosh, we're here again. Here we are again.
Josh
Right off the bat.
Andy
I know. Would you rather your brain actually release an audible smelly fart. When you have a brain fart? Okay.
Josh
Does that, like, come out your ears or.
Andy
Actually, it's not your brain, but through your ears. Yeah. Or actually get punched in the gut when you receive an emotional gut punch. A gut punch. Let's examine this. So, like, when we say the expression, hey, that was a gut punch. So sometimes that might be like, look, my grandmother died. That was a gut punch. That would suck for that moment.
Mike
You're sad, and then you got punched.
Josh
Someone walks up.
Andy
Actually, they'd probably walk up and say, your grandmother died, and then wallop, sorry for your loss. And then walk away. Now, the brain fart.
Mike
Those are more.
Andy
This could be why older people are gassier. Because the brain farts. They come on. The older you get, the less you Like Papa Josh, for example.
Mike
Yeah. And it's got to travel down south.
Andy
He'd be farting all day.
Josh
Yeah, I don't know that we could have him in a room.
Andy
Wait, did you. Did you say travel? You say the brain farts and then it comes out downstairs.
Mike
I'm saying the way it works right now.
Andy
Oh, okay.
Josh
Because this has already happened.
Mike
This is just a hypothetical question of. Your brain actually farts.
Andy
I like that it leaks out your ears or your nose. The nose is brutal.
Josh
Oh, the nose is brutal. That's too much.
Andy
It's gotta come out of something. Mike.
Mike
Your pores.
Andy
You can't just have like an ever expanding cranium.
Josh
No, I think he's right. Just leaks out of all your little.
Andy
Is it visible? Is there a small amount of.
Josh
Are your farts visible? If your farts are visible, that's not a fart. You know what?
Andy
They might be if they came. If they came out on my pores, who knows?
Josh
What kind of sound would that make?
Mike
Just like a. Oh, out the pores.
Josh
Yeah.
Mike
Oh, no, it'd be real high pitched.
Andy
It has to be a fart sound.
Josh
Oh, it would be high pitch because.
Mike
Those are tiny little sphincters.
Josh
I can't even do it.
Andy
Micro sphincters.
Mike
I mean, only dogs might hear it at that piercing.
Andy
Look, I don't want. I don't get gut punched as often as I have a brain fart.
Mike
Yeah, but it's the double up of when you get the gut punch.
Andy
When's the last time you had the wind knocked out of you?
Josh
Oh, man. It's been a long time ago, but it is. It's brutal. You feel like you're going to die for a second.
Mike
You do.
Andy
So. I mean, it's just like as you grow up, you don't have that happen to you as often.
Mike
Well, you're just. You're not putting yourself in the position.
Andy
Right. So it's like, that would suck.
Mike
Like, when we. We did, you know, a few years of. Of old man. Recreational flag football. Did anyone get the window there?
Josh
I'm pretty sure that was young man.
Andy
Is there a chance.
Mike
Yeah. Compared to us now. Yes.
Andy
Is there a chance that we're misdefining? Like, is a gut punch anything you accidentally refer to as a gut punch? Because, like, I would refer to things that maybe aren't real gut punches.
Josh
I think it's anything that really upsets you. Anything that just.
Mike
Yeah, it's more rare.
Andy
It's super rare. I'm taking the gut punch. That's probably once every three years.
Josh
I don't know, man. You ever go and you're like, oh, I hope they got the mushroom biscuit. That's what I was asking. What's the soup of the day? And they're like, tomato. And you're like, oh.
Andy
And then he punches you.
Josh
Tomato bomb.
Andy
See, that's. Okay. Maybe you need to go the brain fart.
Mike
When the soup of the day is out, that's emotionally devastating.
Josh
It's a pretty big gut punch, depending on what my mood was going in. Like, if I was going there for that soup.
Mike
Okay.
Josh
And it's like, you don't have it today.
Mike
Yeah.
Andy
Boom.
Josh
In the stomach.
Mike
Yeah, I can see that.
Josh
I got food on the mind. I'm gonna. I'm. Potatoes.
Mike
I'm gonna take the ham and tomatoes. Let's go.
Josh
I'm gonna take the gut punch. Just because I'm going brain fart. Brain farts are far more frequently. Just.
Andy
What is your bf ph.
Mike
Per hour?
Josh
Probably, like 0.1, but it's a couple times a day.
Mike
I'd say one to three a day.
Josh
Yeah. So just call it two.
Mike
And how many real farts?
Andy
We talked about the big brain fart. That's.
Josh
Let's call it 200. I had a clicker once.
Andy
We talked about the fact that the epic new brain fart that has entered the society is the. I pulled my phone out and forgot what I'm doing on my phone. Yes, we talked about that. Yes.
Josh
Oh, that's true in the office. Because what happens is you pull your phone out to do something.
Mike
Yeah.
Josh
You're like, oh, I need to check the email. I forgot. I've got to get back to this person. You pull it out. Notification, Google home alert. This. The camera has gone off. Oh, I got to check that out. You will never remember to send that email again. Fart.
Andy
Okay, so final answers. Yeah, I'M going gut punch. You guys are going.
Mike
I'm going fart gut punch.
Andy
Okay, David, from the website, would you rather never be able to use a microwave again or never be able to use a kitchen sink again? I will intro you into the thought process here with a story.
Josh
Okay.
Andy
My. You know him? My great uncle?
Mike
Yes, your Grunkle.
Andy
My Grunkle?
Josh
That doesn't sound good. It doesn't. But it's just what he is.
Mike
It's from Grunkle Stan on. What is that? There's a cartoon.
Andy
Of course there is, Mike. You know, you have never learned anything from anywhere else.
Mike
Something falls. Gravity Falls. It's a great show.
Josh
Grumpy Grunkle Stan, cartoon character from Gravity Falls.
Andy
Incredible.
Josh
Ding, ding, ding.
Mike
Great show.
Andy
So my Grunkle has never, ever owned a microwave. Ever.
Josh
Good for him.
Andy
His house has stayed in the exact same condition and state that it was born in. In the 50s or something. Wow.
Josh
He's never moved?
Andy
No. Everything he heats up, he heats up with an oven. He'll heat the oven.
Mike
That's the old fashioned oven.
Andy
And so the other day.
Mike
This is not like a. Like a countertop.
Andy
No, this is. This is.
Mike
This is an OG school.
Andy
Yeah. There's gotta be a laminate.
Mike
We're waiting 15 minutes for this thing to heat up.
Andy
Yes. So the other day my parents were trying to do him a favor. They bought him a microwave and they unboxed the microwave and they set it on the counter and they were going to show them how to use it, and they got so many mean looks that they boxed the microwave up and they brought it back to the store. We don't have. So he's not. I mean, his answer is easy.
Josh
Yeah, his answer is very easy.
Mike
Does he have a cell phone?
Josh
Microwave?
Andy
He has a cell phone, yes. In recent years, he has pulled that off.
Mike
Flip phone or are we talking smartphone?
Andy
I think it's semi smart.
Josh
Semi smart.
Andy
It's coming in green. Green bubbles.
Mike
I don't know.
Josh
Oh, oh.
Andy
It's coming in green bubbles.
Mike
Okay, I got you.
Josh
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Andy
You mean the font was green?
Josh
Like, I didn't know what you mean.
Andy
He messed it up.
Josh
I thought you meant he was coming in green like he was new to it. Oh, okay, so he was like, his.
Andy
Font is only green.
Mike
We all had different thoughts.
Josh
The green bubble makes sense.
Mike
Okay, so. But he's very anti microwave.
Josh
Psa. Green bubble people are the worst. Anyways, microwave or what was the other option? Kitchen. Sick. I mean, this. I don't understand how this could actually Be a question.
Andy
Yeah. Look, anybody that's had their water turned off before and you wait and you see that you need to do anything, you can't do it.
Josh
You can't live without a kitchen sink. You cannot live without a kitchen sink.
Mike
No, you cannot.
Josh
You've got to rinse dishes. You've got to wash your hands.
Mike
You got to haul these into the bathroom.
Josh
Yeah, let me go wash the dishes, get my dish cart like I'm a busboy, bring them down the hallway to the bathroom. You just can't live that way. On the flip side, living without a microwave is probably a pretty big upgrade for your health.
Andy
Living without a microwave.
Mike
Yeah. And just taste.
Andy
No, but what about like leftovers and stuff?
Josh
No, I'm not saying I use a microwave, but I'm just saying if it was like, I can't just make a microwave dinner, instead, I'm gonna have to use my stovetop. Probably better. Unless I'm making stovetop stuff.
Andy
I'm gonna be honest. I haven't used my microwave to make a microwave dinner in ever like 15, 20 years. I mean.
Josh
Oh, man.
Mike
Because you're not eating microwave dinners.
Andy
Yeah, because who eats microwave dinners?
Josh
Do people eat those college kids? Oh, man. I lived on Salisbury steak, dude. Yeah, but you're feeling apple coupon.
Andy
You're a grownup.
Mike
In my early 20s, the Hungry man.
Josh
Had this hunger man had some stuff, dude.
Mike
And it was like gigantic fried chicken strips, huge potato wedges, a big old slop of cheese. Oh, man. This thing had at least 1200 plus calories in it.
Josh
Oh, yeah, but pure poison.
Mike
Oh, yeah, yeah, for sure.
Josh
But the.
Mike
Are we.
Andy
Am I off base here? Everyone's eating those a lot.
Mike
Are you.
Andy
You guys are both nodding back there. I apologize to all the. The industry people.
Mike
What are you eating back there, Papa?
Andy
Yeah. What's the brand?
Josh
Marie Callender's.
Mike
Oh, like a pot pie from the 90s. Popeye is not a TV dinner.
Andy
They still have those restaurants.
Josh
It's a microwave dinner. Yeah, but no, they have the whole TV dinner.
Andy
Actually, I would count that as a TV dinner. A pot pie in the microwave? Really? I think so, yeah.
Mike
Yeah.
Andy
I mean, I know what you're talking about. Like a pre portion three section.
Mike
It's different.
Andy
I guess that's what I meant when I said I haven't heated. I probably heated.
Josh
It's gotta have the compartments.
Mike
Yeah.
Josh
To be a microwave dinner.
Mike
Yeah, yeah.
Josh
To be. Yeah.
Mike
And why just microwave dinner, TV dinner.
Andy
Microwave dinners have to tell you how much they're dinner on the Boxes.
Mike
Yeah.
Andy
You know what I mean? Like, you would not.
Mike
This is definitely dinner.
Andy
This is definitely your dinner.
Mike
But the.
Andy
What's your brand there? What do you got? Trader Joe's. The butter chicken. It's a microwavable. Yeah, it's really good.
Mike
Is it frozen or is it.
Andy
Yeah, it's got to be frozen. It's frozen.
Josh
Oh, Trader Joe's has some good frozen food.
Mike
I'm in on the hashtag. Not a sponsor, but I upgraded my air fryer a bit ago, so I got the double compartment.
Andy
I thought this was your helicopter.
Mike
No, I know. It's me pulling out both compartments of my.
Andy
Is the double worth it?
Mike
Because the double has. It's got air fry bake. I've thought about it and some other options. So I reheat all of my leftovers exclusively in this Bad dog. It takes longer, but it tastes so much better.
Andy
You see, they have these air fryers that are over like glass compartments now. Like, Ninja has one that's. It's a glass.
Josh
What?
Andy
It's glass. It sits on top of a glass bowl. And that's how you air fry.
Josh
I have not seen it.
Mike
And then it falls into the bowl.
Josh
I got a new air fryer that is.
Andy
It's not levitating. It's in the bowl being air fry.
Josh
I've got one that is really wide, so I could do pizzas in there.
Mike
Like a full size pizza?
Josh
Well, yeah, like a frozen pizza. You put it in there.
Andy
Whoo.
Mike
That's nice, huh? Learning all sorts of stuff.
Andy
How big can they make air fryers?
Josh
Big enough for.
Mike
Big enough for pizza.
Andy
Yeah. That's fair. Okay, where were we? Yeah, I'm gonna keep the sink.
Josh
Yeah, of course.
Mike
Not possible.
Andy
Steve from Patreon. Would you rather a personal shape chauffeur? Personal chauffeur at all times. Which sounds amazing. A private jet. It's only available for one trip a month. That sounds amazing. Or a private yacht available for six weekends per year.
Josh
Six weekends per year is outstanding.
Andy
I. Dude, I feel like the water. The water is too dangerous. The water's just.
Mike
You know what's going on down there.
Josh
You can be on a lake.
Mike
You wouldn't even believe what's going on.
Josh
You can be on a private yacht on the lake.
Andy
That's lame.
Mike
You can't have a yacht on a lake.
Josh
That's like a yacht on the lake.
Andy
You might as well.
Josh
I've looked it up.
Andy
You might as well have it on the freaking land.
Mike
I mean, that's not a boring.
Andy
The yacht to me. Is cool because of the ocean. Yes, but then I also feel like the ocean wants to eat us.
Josh
Yeah, I was.
Mike
We don't belong there.
Andy
Like, we will die on it, like six weekends a year. I'll die in one of those.
Josh
Okay, if you're afraid to go on a boat, then, sure, cancel the boat out. But I'm just saying that if you.
Mike
Ever call a boat, they'd be real mad at you.
Josh
Well, I would assume you're way more scared on a boat in the ocean than a yacht.
Mike
That's the same. Same, same, same baby, same, same.
Josh
Okay.
Mike
Anything on the ocean, the ocean cares not for. Of your boat.
Josh
Yes. It wants to swallow you. You're telling me you're on a little two person, you know, boat with an oar. That's the same saying.
Mike
That's a canoe.
Josh
It's big enough. No, it's wide. It's wide. It's a fishing boat.
Andy
I gotta read this. The number of yachts is from AI search labs. Google. Thank you. The number of yachts that sink each year varies, but there have been more yacht sinkings in recent years. In 2024, 12 yachts were completely destroyed, which is the highest number of yachts destroyed in the last decade.
Josh
But we don't know if people were on them when they sunk.
Andy
What do you think, they go out on their own?
Josh
I think hurricanes happen and then they're in the harbor. What do you think it's on land?
Mike
Yeah. You can't park your yacht. I can't pull that thing up into the backyard.
Andy
Rough weather. Collisions, agents, collisions.
Josh
You're in the middle of the ocean, bro.
Andy
Watch out, it counts with colliding to the land.
Josh
Oh, all right.
Andy
Never seen a shipwreck. Age of the fleet. Older yachts are more likely to sink, as you might know.
Josh
Math checks out on that one.
Andy
So you're just. You would just sail across the ocean?
Mike
Blue.
Josh
No, I don't think that's what I'm going to take. My only point was that it was very gracious to have six weekends per year. Al Borland and I, a couple years ago, we went in on a boat club. So have you heard?
Andy
I know you did. And how'd that work out?
Mike
What kind of boats would you.
Josh
So they.
Mike
It was like renting a boat.
Josh
Yeah. So up at the lake by us, there was a boat club where you could.
Mike
Was it a yacht?
Josh
No, yachts.
Andy
He looked into it at the time.
Josh
There were really nice boats. There's like, you know, you could have 20 people on a boat. It's A double decker with a slide out the back. Or you could get a speedboat or. And it was only like 200 bucks a month as far as For a. Compared to owning a boat.
Andy
Does that include rescue?
Josh
It's a lake. I can swim. No rescue needed, no crashes. We went 100%. But my point is like, how many.
Andy
Times you take it out?
Josh
Exactly three times in two years. Like, I just finding a time to go to the lake just never worked for my schedule. Because it's not worth it. A lake. To your point, it's not good enough. It's just not good enough.
Andy
The idea of having a boat and doing that, it's a lot of work. It's great. When you got it and you're out on the lake, it's amazing. Yes, but it's a lot of. Like, you'd rather just rent a boat.
Josh
Oh, for sure. That's. I mean, owning a boat. Like my wife wanted to get a boat and I'm like, you have so much startup money, then you gotta take care of it. Maintenance, Maintenance. And like. I'm not. I want you to know I will do none of that.
Andy
That's what the club's about.
Josh
I will wipe none of the things off the outside. You have to. I mean, the answer here is clearly a private jet. For me, it's a private jet.
Andy
Once a month is nice. That'd be nice.
Josh
I can make time for once a month. And you know where I can go? Anywhere. I mean, most places. Anywhere within probably a thousand miles. I was gonna say.
Andy
Would you like. Yeah. How far would you travel?
Josh
I would travel as far as Tank, Laos.
Andy
Oh, so yeah, I guess that makes sense.
Josh
I don't know. Can you do like a private jet from Phoenix to New York?
Mike
I would think so.
Josh
Okay, well, that's all I need. New York, Florida, California.
Andy
If you go overseas, they have to pull up a second jet next to you and you walk over to it to swap to the full one.
Mike
Oh, it's not the executive decision. Jet comes in a drink, fuels you. We could look into it real quick on the boats. Do we have any other classification for boats as they get bigger?
Josh
Like bigger than a yacht?
Mike
No, no, no.
Andy
There's the yacht, the cap.
Mike
Yeah. It's because you're like, you're like a two person boat and then you're like, I got this 20 person boat.
Andy
Right. It doesn't feel like it's fair.
Mike
You know what? I got a car. I got a sedan. I got a minivan.
Josh
Right.
Mike
I got a sprinter van.
Andy
They definitely have different names for boats. We just don't know them. We just call them boats. Because other people will call all cars cars. But you'd be like, no, that's a sports car.
Josh
I've got bad news for you guys.
Mike
Which one of us.
Josh
For both of you.
Andy
I'm quitting.
Josh
There are different classes of boats based on size.
Mike
No, that's great news.
Josh
No, it's bad news because here's what the classes are.
Mike
Boat. Boaty, McBoat face.
Josh
It's worse than that.
Mike
Mike.
Josh
You've got class A, class one, class two class. Get out of here. Call it a sedan or something. Come up with a cool name.
Andy
Yeah, we don't have class one cars. Class two cars.
Josh
Yeah. That's stupid.
Mike
Boat people, respect your craft. Respect the boat.
Josh
Here.
Andy
Here's my only concern with the post personal chauffeur situation. If I can speak properly. I would love that. I hate. I honestly would love to be driven everywhere that I ever go. I would make me. It would make me want to go to restaurants that are in downtown or in. Like, I don't like the driving to unknown areas for a long period of time. It's stressful. I don't like it. I would love the chauffeur. I do worry I'd leave the dude sitting out front all the time. Like, it would. It would wear off. Like, would I just. Would you invent places you have to go to feel like the dude's not just sitting there?
Josh
That's his job, man.
Andy
To sit in the car.
Josh
Sit in the car.
Andy
Oh, I would feel bad.
Josh
Read a book, watch a movie. He's got a phone that's got Netflix on it.
Andy
He's.
Josh
He's living his life in there.
Andy
I'd probably send him on little.
Josh
Oh, you're going to make him an errand boy for his sake.
Mike
That's an assistant.
Josh
Right. Go pick up my dry cleaning. Do you want me to drive you there, sir? No, I want you to drive you there. Get out of the car.
Mike
I won't be doing that.
Andy
A mannequin of me would be put into the vehicle when he does the errands.
Josh
Does the mannequin get out and do the errands once you get there? Because I don't think it's gonna work unless he's gotta park and go do your bidding.
Mike
Sure, sir. It's the mannequin again. He got me. Yeah.
Andy
I'd be like, I would go out there and I'd get in, I'd put the mannequin, and then I'd sneak out.
Mike
How many times can you trick him?
Andy
And then I'd just get on the phone. I would call, I'd keep the thing down and get on the phone.
Mike
Oh, like fear.
Josh
Bueller.
Mike
Yeah.
Andy
I'd be like, yeah, back here. Good job.
Mike
I am totally in the back of this car.
Josh
Just want to waste his gas.
Andy
Yeah, maybe I should just let him sit up front.
Mike
Keep driving, sir. I can't drive anywhere. Keep driving.
Andy
You guys want to give some life advice?
Josh
Go west.
Andy
Sir. I'm parked. All right, we'll take a break. We'll jump into some life advice.
Josh

Andy
Well, if you know anything about us, after 313 magnanimous episodes and that conversation, we just. In that conversation, you know that we're in the business of helping you improve your life, dishing out tough answers to tough questions. But we're willing to tell you the truth. And that's what we do here. Landon from Patreon. Probably a really important question from Landon. I've been parking in the same parking spot at a parking meter that has been broken for months. Now it's suddenly fixed and I have a ticket. How do I argue my case of historical precedent? Or do I just pay up and move on?
Mike
I just love the. And now it's suddenly fixed.
Andy
This was.
Mike
How dare someone do their job. Yeah.
Andy
This is. You're on the hook, my man. I love the idea of you going to court on historical precedent. There might be a case after a certain amount of time.
Josh
Please. But it can't be historical precedent of it being broken. Historical precedent. Precedent of like, this was always a spot I was allowed to park in. It's fine. Historical precedent would be like, I show up and I'm like, I got away with 30 murders.
Mike
That's exactly.
Josh
You never caught me for any of those.
Mike
Please go to the judge, sir.
Andy
No. I'm gonna be the devil's advocate for you, all right? Because I think if you have tried to apply this and you took it from. How long did he say? He said the month. Months. Right. 10 years. 10 years. Same parking spot, same parking meter broken for 10 years. Don't you have an argument against the city?
Josh
Doesn't the city have an argument that you owe them a lot of money?
Mike
Yeah.
Josh
It's like, I don't want to bring that up. You just keep that on the hook. Yeah.
Andy
You don't. You pay the fine and then move on.
Mike
This is a risk reward.
Andy
Yeah. You stole for a long time.
Mike
Like. Yeah. You got away with it, you know?
Andy
Don't.
Mike
What is it? Don't. Don't cry because it's gone. You know, like, laugh. Because you got to enjoy it.
Josh
Oh. Ironically, that, I think the quote you're looking for.
Mike
Do I have it backwards?
Josh
It's somewhat similar, but it does come from a doctor.
Andy
Of course.
Josh
Not a doctor.
Mike
Really?
Josh
Yeah, I think.
Mike
What's the quote?
Josh
Well, now that you said it wrong, I can't Think of it. It's like, don't be. Don't be upset it's over. Be happy that it happened or something. I don't know.
Andy
You got Google, right?
Josh
I'm looking it up.
Mike
I'm pretty sure I basically said that. Close enough.
Andy
But that's. So that's the answer.
Mike
Yeah. No.
Andy
Just be thankful for the time you didn't pay. Also now, the ticket might amount to more than all the parking meter fees combined. That's the unfortunate part.
Mike
Also now, Landon, break it.
Andy
What do we think about parking meter.
Josh
Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened. Yeah.
Andy
Yeah. Cool cliche.
Josh
A doctor. That's not a doctor.
Mike
What did I say? I was really close to the doctor.
Andy
Who's the doctor? Are you?
Josh
Oh, I mean, who knows?
Mike
We're all trying to figure out, what.
Andy
Do we think of the parking meter thing. It feels antiquated to me. Like, parking meters feel like. I don't know. It's like. It's a city, right?
Josh
Yes. It doesn't seem anti. I mean, it is. The actual device could be antiquated, but that makes complete sense to me, that there should be parking meters for areas to incentivize people not staying past a certain time.
Mike
And to pay for the area, you got to maintain the streets and everything. But the.
Andy
You guys are both. Big parking meter. Got it.
Mike
Love it. But they're. I mean, they're no longer. Put your quarters in. It's. Everything is.
Andy
Now, is it a different cost per class of car? Class one, class two cars. Class three cars. Class four cars.
Josh
You're thinking of boats. Yeah, but if you do park a boat there, it's more expensive.
Andy
It is to pay for 5 meters.
Josh
Here's one thing, and I hate to admit this, but I have had this thought many times, and this reminds me of it. Like, you know the cameras, the speed camera?
Andy
Yeah.
Josh
They're going to. They're going to catch you speeding, they're going to take your photo, you're going to get the ticket in the mail. And now I know at least where we live in Arizona. They've been found, I don't know, unlawful or something.
Mike
Constitutional.
Josh
Unconstitutional. And so they're not here anymore. But I never understood, like, I hate them. I hate them. You know me, I like to speed. But why are those not allowed? That should be totally allowed because you.
Mike
Have to face your accuser.
Josh
They've got photographs. I mean, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. You're telling me we don't use video Evidence in court.
Mike
Sometimes you go to court, sometimes you can't. It's inadmissible.
Josh
I'm just saying it's so silly. I have proof that you are breaking.
Andy
The law, but do you?
Mike
Yeah. Did it malfunction?
Andy
Yeah. Is that. Is it blurry? I mean, that wasn't me.
Josh
Let's say it's a crystal clear picture.
Mike
Of you, but let's say that you're like, no, and you're licensed.
Andy
Part of it is the subjectivity of speeding because there are situations where you're supposed to be going. The flow of traffic. There's situations where you're supposed to be. Maybe you're evading something that you needed to evade. The nuance is what breaks it a little bit. There is a controversy right now, a cash grab, some people are claiming of people getting. They're getting tickets for passing school buses via video. So the school buses have video on them. And if they have their sign out, which you're supposed to stop behind us, and if anybody passes those, they are getting.
Josh
They're getting things like snapshot it and getting sent a ticket.
Andy
Correct.
Josh
This is. I don't have a problem with that.
Andy
You don't mind it.
Josh
They should stop. If you have proof that they didn't.
Andy
Stop, they still have red light tickets.
Josh
Yes.
Andy
So apparently that one's okay.
Josh
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It makes no sense.
Andy
I think speeding is just a little more subjective than passing. A hundred percent of people aren't supposed to pass that bus. 100% people can't run a red light. But some people can change their speed.
Josh
Yeah, I guess that's fair. It is weirdly subjective.
Andy
I guess they probably send them out. Unless you're way faster, though.
Josh
It's so funny because, like, we've got to this point, I'm teaching my kids how to drive and I'm like, you know, the first rule is you never go the speed limit. Like it's dangerous. It's. If you're. If it's a 40 mile an hour, if it's 40 miles an hour, it is dangerous to drive 40 miles an hour. Because no one else on that road is driving 40 miles an hour. I tell them five over and it's like, that's so dumb. Like, what? We should have a speed limit. That's like the speed you should drive.
Mike
Almost like the word limit.
Josh
That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. But I feel like it would be. It would be better for a police officer to give someone a ticket driving 40 than 45 one is far more dangerous.
Andy
There is. I've seen videos of police officers pulling over left lane.
Mike
Yeah.
Andy
People that are going the speed limit but impeding traffic because it's a passing lane and because it's the fast lane.
Mike
Yeah. And there's some areas that have minimums, too, where speed limit and speed mid. It's. It's pretty rare. But I've.
Josh
I mean, that's what they. They should literally just have speed. Minimum speed limit. And then too much.
Andy
Too much for me.
Mike
But.
Josh
But then it's like. But you have to actually do that.
Andy
Are there any speed limits with boats on the water?
Josh
No.
Andy
You can't catch me with your boat club. I don't think so.
Mike
There are.
Andy
There actually are.
Mike
Oh.
Josh
I mean, there isn't.
Mike
Like the wake in the harbor?
Andy
No, there's like. If I'm on the ocean, there's individual. Yes. If it's a lake, then the lake authorities set speed limits. Yes.
Mike
Huh.
Andy
Lake Tahoe has speed limits.
Mike
So are they out there with the laser guns and everything?
Andy
Yeah. I don't believe they're monitoring them. Yeah. Oh. They keep it locked down. They also put buoys that are related to speeds. So if you're within five miles of shore, there's a speed limit that you must maintain.
Mike
Okay.
Josh
By the shore.
Andy
It's a little more free out there, but you do have to follow the rules.
Mike
Yeah, but international waters. You're good, Jay.
Josh
There are no laws.
Mike
Open it up.
Andy
Kelly from the website. My neighbor. Oh, there's a good one. My neighbor has a very loud wind chime that keeps me awake on windy. On windy nights. How do I get rid of it without a confrontation? The problem, Kelly, with trying to get rid of it without confrontation is that she. Very likely he or she who has the wind chime will purchase another wind chime.
Josh
Yeah. They'll put it back up. If you take it down, they'll get a new one.
Andy
Unless you want to do this. I mean, three or four wind chimes break, maybe they stop.
Josh
That's fair. Drain their bank account. Keep breaking now. But do you take the risk? Like, let's just play this out. Let's say that the avenue you want to go is. I want to just get rid of that wind chime. I want to break it.
Mike
It's vandalism.
Josh
It's vandalism, right. You know, a little B and E. Well, you. If you're on the property, Right.
Andy
Yeah. Is it?
Josh
I think if someone comes on my.
Mike
Porch, if you jump, someone's fence, and you're in their backyard. Is that a B and E?
Josh
I think that's a B and E.
Mike
You didn't break nothing.
Andy
That's a J and E. Yeah, I jumped. Wait, wait, what's the E part?
Mike
Entry. Oh, breaking an entry. Right.
Josh
I don't know.
Andy
Breaking and entering.
Mike
Papa Josh says just trespass.
Andy
So this would be jumping and entering.
Josh
So trespass.
Mike
You're just trespassing anyways.
Josh
Okay, so a little trespassing.
Mike
Yeah.
Josh
You go on their porch, little tv, and you decide, I want to destroy this wind chime. Do you take the approach of the risk of getting caught walking to the wind chime, going up, you know, maybe jumping that backyard fence and walking up the porch to take it down or to break it, or do you try to do it from distance?
Andy
Oh, distance would be like a BB gun. Break all the little glass pieces, maybe a Frisbee. I figured it out. You jump the fence, you bring over some of that spray glue. This thing ain't blowing in the wind, man. You just spray every.
Josh
And they never know.
Andy
Yeah, they don't know. It's not. I mean, because it's there. Well, who's going up and hitting the wind chime?
Mike
I was thinking, is there a way. Can you at least just dampen the sound?
Andy
Like, replace it with cotton swabs or whatever?
Mike
Like where they hit?
Andy
Yeah, just spray the thing, man.
Josh
Spray glue makes a lot of sense to me.
Andy
Now, you do have to jump the fence to do this.
Josh
Yeah. I mean, it is.
Mike
Or you could build a device.
Josh
Like a long tube.
Mike
Yeah, you could build a device and get that applied over there.
Andy
What if you fought fire with fire and you bought four wind chimes?
Mike
Bigger wind chimes.
Josh
You're going to sleep poorly for a bit.
Andy
For a time.
Josh
Or what if the neighbor loves it and they're like, oh, I'm getting more.
Andy
Because they're into wind chimes.
Josh
Yeah.
Andy
Then you.
Josh
I mean, they're obviously into wind chimes.
Andy
I feel like there are people that are wind chime people and people that aren't.
Josh
I think that is true, however.
Andy
Are you windshine people?
Mike
We have a chime.
Andy
All right, so how loud is it? Are you. Is this a letter from somebody else? No.
Mike
It is. No, it is. It is. It's not egregious.
Josh
Yeah. I don't think I would buy a wind chime, however, I kind of inherited a place that had wind chimes before I got there.
Mike
And you're feeling it. You feeling them?
Josh
Yeah, I love them.
Andy
Yeah.
Josh
Wind chimes are great. And it's funny because I can hear them when I say I like them, but it doesn't bother me. I like. I guess I'm a wind chime person.
Mike
Yeah. You don't have to have really loud ones, but just a little bit of.
Andy
Can you check under your hat real quick, Jay?
Josh
Oh, no.
Andy
Is there something underneath your hat? Let me just see. Point the hat towards me. Oh, you took the piece of paper out of the hat because there's some plastic on the front of the hat still.
Josh
Oh, look at that.
Andy
And I didn't know if you had pulled a new hat out.
Josh
And I did pull a new hat out and I missed a piece of plastic. Thanks.
Andy
I was just so hopeful that the big cardboard piece was on the inside of the hat.
Josh
I think I would feel that you.
Andy
Love wind chimes too, Papa John.
Josh
I do. Man. There are some really good quality sounding wind chimes out there.
Mike
It feels good, man. It's good energy.
Andy
Could anybody program a wind chime to play a song? Of course you could. No, like the theme from Lord of the Rings.
Josh
Wind.
Andy
If it was hit, I'm saying if the wind hit it, it would proceed through sounds.
Josh
That's got to be a wind chime.
Mike
That's a wind too. I thought you meant just like make sure that they're all the notes. So it's like it could be a familiar melody.
Josh
I know you can play like, you know, the ball rolling down the hill, hitting chimes to play a whole song. That's just not a win. That's a win.
Mike
I don't know. I remember which country did it, but they put essentially, I think it was to help with speeding. Like they put a bunch of raised portions. Not a speed bump. You know, just like a tiny little thing.
Andy
Yeah, the cut out divots. But it plays songs.
Mike
And if you're going the proper speed, then it will do the frequencies and it will play a song.
Andy
Yeah, that's fun.
Mike
Yeah.
Josh
I want. I want to go the right speed. That's amazing.
Andy
That would get you to go. He'd try to play it in 2x.
Josh
This song sounds way better sped up.
Andy
You would just try to get it on beat, which is out of respect.
Josh
Have you guys seen the parking lots that have speed bumps that aren't speed bumps? They just paint a yellow strip.
Andy
Oh, to pump fake you.
Josh
To pump fake you. Oh, it works, man. You slow down, but then it's nice. You roll over and you're like, I did see that.
Andy
They were cutting grooves, tons of little grooves into intersections now because of these takeovers that are happening where people are spinning their cars out in intersections. Have you seen that?
Josh
No. Is that like a new thing?
Mike
No, that's a thing that people just doing donuts in the.
Andy
A whole group of people with. Yes, a whole group of people with their cars will go and spin donuts and take over an intersection. They're called intersection takeover thing. And now they're having to take buy. Cities are buying giant machinery to cut grooves so that the spinning won't work. Can we go Google it?
Josh
Interesting.
Mike
This is why we can't have nice things. Why do people suck?
Andy
Yeah, it's a thing. And now the cities are having to pay money.
Josh
Oh my gosh.
Andy
It's a la. I think is where they're happening.
Josh
No, Fort Wayne as well. The first. The first one I see is pumping the brakes on intersection takeovers in the valley. So that's here?
Andy
Yeah, yeah. It's everywhere, man. Take them over. Just take them over and spin around.
Josh
Oh my gosh. The video of this is insane. Yeah, there's just someone.
Mike
They're just doing donuts.
Josh
Just doing donuts in an intersection. How do they not get caught?
Andy
So now they're having to cut up the intersections so that those aren't viable, I'm guessing.
Mike
Unless you had a cop just sitting there. Like you could do that for a while and then leave and be fine. This is just weird. What's your goal?
Josh
To be an idiot?
Mike
Your goal is just be obnoxious.
Josh
That's.
Mike
Wow. That's so bizarre to me. So bizarre.
Andy
All right, I think it's probably time to jump into our draft.
Mike
Oh, not a doctor.
Andy
Let's take a break. First.
Commercial Narrator

Andy
For whatever reason, I was so close to not remembering that there was a back end to that ad break music. And I almost just overruns us back in. All right, we are drafting doctors that aren't doctors. And Jason, with his beautiful, amazing scat, earned himself the number one spot in the draft. So batter up.
Josh
Yeah. I'm not sure this is the best draft to have the 101, but.
Mike
Oh, it's the best.
Josh
You think so?
Mike
No.
Josh
Yeah. I don't know. You know, there's a lot of. A lot. I've got at least 15, 16 doctors on my list here.
Mike
My list is so big.
Josh
But I don't want you to forget about this guy.
Mike
Yeah. Okay. It seems like the number I think.
Josh
It'S the one on one is Dr. Dre.
Mike
Yes.
Josh
Okay. Everybody forgot about Dre. And he's. He's doing all right for himself now. So the doctor.
Andy
Okay, all right.
Josh
You don't like Dr. Dre?
Mike
I don't like it.
Andy
It's fine. It's fine. It was one of my, like, you know, like, if in Smash Glass picks.
Josh
Oh, that's okay.
Mike
Well, then you bring it.
Josh
Yeah. Let's. Let's hear this great doctor who's not a doctor. Andy.
Andy
I only got one pick right now. Right? So, yeah, I'll go with Dr. Seuss. Dr. Seuss is the number one pick.
Josh
That was my number two, so. And also, that is.
Andy
That is the quote. Yeah, that's why I figured that out halfway through.
Mike
Wow.
Andy
I'm going Dr. Seuss.
Mike
Okay. Well, there. I'm a little. I'm surprised you bypassed this one, so I'm going to take it. There is a man in a very famous trilogy in that show, in that movies, he's just called Doc.
Josh
Oh, my gosh. Oh, he's not on my list because.
Mike
He'S Dr. Emmett Brown, baby.
Josh
Oh, my gosh.
Andy
Honestly.
Mike
Invented time travel.
Andy
I will. I'll be honest with you. I did not think that that one was allowed.
Josh
Oh, no, that's.
Mike
He's a scientist.
Andy
Because he's a doctor.
Josh
He's a scientist.
Andy
He's actually a doctor, though, in the show.
Mike
What?
Josh
He's a scientist in the movie.
Mike
What Doctor. A doctor.
Andy
A scientist. A doctor of.
Mike
Yeah, scientist.
Andy
He practices with his degree.
Mike
Science.
Andy
I'm so confused.
Josh
Dude, that's a great pick. That's a great pick.
Mike
We're on the same page.
Josh
Doc Brown.
Mike
Yeah. I mean, okay, yeah, he's not doing medicine. He's doing time travel.
Josh
Yeah.
Mike
And then the next one.
Josh
Medical. Doctors who aren't real doctors.
Andy
So you only meant doctors that don't practice medicine. Maybe you should have told me that.
Josh
Okay, new draft. Doctors.
Mike
It says it right there. Doctors that aren't doctors.
Josh
That's what that means. That is what that means. Anyone have a doctor here? No. Emmett Bram would not stand up.
Mike
No, he would not.
Josh
No, I can't give you the Heimlich.
Mike
I can fix the plane.
Josh
Right? Do you need to go back in time?
Mike
All right, a man. Where are we going to go? Here?
Josh
No.
Andy
If he picks the best medical doctor right now, I'm going to lose my Dr. Quinn.
Josh
Medicine woman.
Mike
No. Funny enough, this. This character is also in a trilogy. And he's always. He's trying to get either a million dollars or $100 million. He puts the pinky up. It's Dr. Evil, baby.
Josh
Very good.
Andy
Okay. Couple movie characters.
Josh
Yeah, nice.
Andy
Dr. Brown. Dr. Evil.
Josh
Pretty sure he was a real medical doctor, though, so, I mean, I never saw him prescribe, but just has that aura about him.
Andy
Dr. Pepper.
Josh
Oh, no, that was my next pick. That was my next pick for sure.
Mike
Oh, I. Dr. Pepper.
Andy
The Dr. Pepper people. By the way, voracious.
Mike
I have. I just had this conversation with my.
Andy
Daughter, too, because nobody kind of likes Dr. Pepper. My children love it. Or you don't drink it.
Mike
My children are Dr. Pepper people.
Andy
They are.
Mike
And, like, one of my best friends is Dr. Dr. Pepper person.
Andy
Are they Mr. Pitt people?
Josh
I thought you were gonna say one of my best friends.
Mike
Dr. Pepper.
Josh
There's gotta be someone out there, right? There must be someone out there whose last name is Pepper, of course, who got a doctorate, and he's Dr. Pepper now.
Andy
Is he an MD or A.
Josh
Does he have to, like, pay to put his sign up? You know, like. I'm sorry, that's trademarked.
Mike
It's a cease and disgust.
Andy
I would be making my word mark look so similar to the can.
Josh
Oh, for sure. Come to Dr. Peppers.
Mike
But the Dr. Pepper people are.
Andy
They're outrageous.
Mike
You're weirdos.
Andy
You ever had hot Dr. Pepper?
Josh
Oh, that's the next level of those weirdos. Hot Dr. Pepper.
Andy
All right, two picks, Mr. Dre.
Josh
It is good, though. Hot Dr. Pepper.
Andy
It's not that bad?
Josh
I mean, it's full of sugar. Like, of course it's gonna taste good. But.
Mike
But I mean, like.
Andy
But it's hot in a.
Mike
It's hot.
Andy
They use it in a Crock Pot.
Mike
Is hot Coke not good?
Andy
Yeah. Hot Coke's not Pepsi, probably.
Josh
Oh, that's weird. I thought you just stopped short on saying cocoa. You're saying hot Coca Cola. I'm like, hot cocoa is great. What are you talking about? Hot Coke. You know, I don't remember the rest of the word.
Andy
Dr. Dre is your first pick. You get two in a row, Jason.
Josh
All right, I've got a real person in Dr. Dre. I'm going to go with a superhuman person for my next one. I'm taking Dr. Strange. I'm going to travel in time.
Andy
I am the most. What do you call, uneducated person on the planet about who Doctor Strange is.
Josh
Oh, really?
Mike
I never got down with the multiverse.
Andy
Of madness, so I never saw any of his movies. The Doctor Strange movies. I've seen the Avengers where he's in the Avengers, where he's in him. And he's doing stuff, and I don't.
Mike
Know what he's doing.
Josh
It's funny because if you haven't seen the Sorcerer supreme, the Doctor Strange movies, his character is probably super weird in the Avengers.
Andy
I did see a video of him filming that movie and trying landing on the snow. Trying to be. And it took him hours because he couldn't land it without slipping on the snow.
Mike
Which for the people at home, they're like, he was a real doctor. Yes, he was a medical doctor at one point. And then he broke his hands, and then he became the Sorcerer Supreme. He's no longer a doctor.
Josh
Yeah. I mean, he's not taking any.
Mike
He's living in the past.
Josh
He's not taking anything. New clients. You cannot see him anymore.
Mike
Andy cannot handle this job. I don't get it. And we are. We're locked in.
Josh
I know. I mean, it makes complete. It's just doctors who aren't doctors. That's all it is. If he's got doctor in his name, but he's not practicing medicine. It's doctors who aren't practicing medicine and can't and don't practice medicine. That's what it is.
Andy
But if they.
Mike
Oh, no, that's got a good point. If he were on a plane and someone says there are a doctor on.
Andy
Board, he would stand up.
Mike
He would stand up.
Josh
He would totally stand up.
Andy
Yeah, buddy.
Josh
But to be fair. To be fair, if they were on a plane, he would never fly. And you said, is there a doctor on board? Tony Stark would stand up.
Andy
No.
Josh
Oh, he would. Tony Stark would say, not as a doctor. No, but he would say, I got this.
Andy
Look, you said, on a plane. Is a doctor on board?
Mike
You're ruining the argument.
Andy
And he stands up.
Mike
We were locked in.
Andy
He is now saying, I'm not in this draft. He stands up, goes, don't draft him.
Josh
Okay. So is Sorcerer supreme gone? Do I need to pivot to a different doctor?
Andy
Let these guys decide. I don't really care.
Josh
The judges in Deucer's Alley. You guys get to decide. Dr. Strange counts or doesn't.
Mike
Doesn't.
Josh
He's an actual doctor.
Mike
Yeah, I like. I was fine with him. Moving on. But since we earlier in the show set the bar.
Andy
As long as you trip over your own stupid roles sometimes.
Josh
No, I mean, look, rules are rules. I'm happy to abide by it.
Andy
All right, who's the next one?
Mike
Well, you got to do.
Andy
You got to do two more.
Josh
Yeah, I got to do two more. I'm going to go Dr. J. Dang it.
Mike
Julius Irving.
Josh
Perfect. Famous basketball player.
Andy
Great. I wanted him. It also rhymes with Dr. Dre. So you have Dr. Dre.
Josh
I got Dr. J. Dr. Dre. I should have had Dr. Seuss because it would have been a theme. You know, he likes to rhyme, and he didn't get it.
Andy
I didn't think Seuss rhymed with Jay or Dre.
Josh
So I was. Everybody got it. No. All right, so I got. I got one more pick here.
Andy
He's a doctor at Dunk.
Josh
And your prescription. I'm going posterized. All right. Since I can't take Tony Stark, you're out. I can't take Tony Stark.
Mike
Dr. Stark. No, he's not Dr. Iron Man.
Josh
But I can get Dr. Dolittle, so, yeah, that's fine. There we go. I give Robert Downey Jr. Dr. Doolittle. Yes. He was doctor. Nobody saw it.
Mike
Oh, you were the one at home. No, at home.
Josh
Okay.
Mike
This was streaming.
Andy
Who's typing these in? My favorite part is he spelled his name d, o, o.
Mike
Space.
Andy
Little did. Wait, do little.
Josh
Dr. Do little. He does nothing. Does jack squat.
Mike
Josh.
Andy
Probably. What?
Mike
I don't think he is actually. Is he actually a vet?
Josh
No. Wait, a vet's not a doctor. But did he have a doctorate and then transition to animals?
Andy
Because then we're going to let him go. Let him go.
Josh
All right.
Andy
He's not real because the animals can't talk. He's Pretend. We'll let it happen.
Josh
You know that Dr. Strange doesn't have magic, right?
Mike
Anyways, like, who. Why would you name your character Dolittle?
Andy
Because that's the joke that they. Dolittle.
Josh
Is it?
Andy
It's funny. Yeah. Dr. Dolittle.
Mike
He's like, haha. That guy who talks to animals. That's funny.
Andy
When it was invented, that was what funny was.
Josh
That must be an old character.
Andy
My selection here, I will go with one of my favorite characters on any movie ever. And historically, mostly how he's portrayed in movies. I'm going Doc Holliday.
Mike
Okay.
Andy
I'm going Doc Holliday in the Gunslinger.
Josh
Oh my gosh. I would have taken him for sure. He wasn't on the.
Mike
No, you would do little.
Josh
What a great pick. Doc Holliday.
Andy
Yeah. Yours talks to raccoons and stuff. Mine OK Corral. Doc Holliday, baby.
Josh
Great pick. See, you act like you don't understand this draft. You're doing great.
Andy
All right.
Josh
Dang it.
Andy
Yeah, I think he got that name because at one point in time he did some dental work. There ain't no way that's a. He ain't no practicing medicinal doctor.
Mike
Doctor, also a dentist is standing up.
Josh
No.
Mike
If they stand up, sir, you need to sit down immediately.
Andy
If he was a good.
Josh
You need to jump off the plane.
Mike
This man's heart is stopped. He doesn't have a cavity.
Andy
He couldn't help his own tuberculosis. I know that.
Josh
Yeah, yeah. He needed a doctor. He's just a doc.
Andy
I'm your huckleberry. All right, Mike, two picks. Dr. Brown, Dr. Evil, so far.
Mike
So this guy, definitely not a doctor. Just masqueraded as one at one point in his career because he's a plumber. Oh, Dr. Mario. What was that all about? Nintendo. What are you doing? We got this plumber. He goes to Mushroom Kingdom. He stays the princess. Oh, also, he's a doctor. What is that?
Andy
They took liberties.
Josh
Yeah.
Andy
They also rides a dinosaur.
Mike
Yeah, that's fair, Mike. One more, but that's in a different lane.
Andy
With a long tongue.
Mike
Yeah. With a voracious appetite.
Andy
Mike, you got one more pick.
Mike
I get one more pick.
Josh
Oh, man.
Mike
Man, there it. I'm seeing a theme here. It's a lot of bad guys.
Josh
Oh, the doctors are evil.
Mike
A lot of bad guys.
Josh
Like Dr.
Mike
Evil. I've got a few. I'm going to go where you're going now. Yeah, I'm going to take that one. I'm going to. It's the. The man. I'll get you next time, Dr. Claw. Go, Dr. Claw, baby.
Josh
Good, that's fair.
Mike
That Inspector Gadget, he was always up to his no good hijinks.
Andy
Is it back to me?
Mike
Yes.
Josh
Oh, man, that's impressive.
Andy
You do a good Dr. Claw.
Mike
I'm also the diamond in the rough.
Andy
KB. All right. Dr. Seuss, Dr. Pepper, Doc Holiday, and you know what? Just because it'll annoy you guys, this is a. So this will give me no votes. Maybe from the.
Mike
It will only annoy me if they would stand up as a doctor.
Andy
Is Doc Gooden. I'm taking Doc Gooden, Famous pitcher of the New York Mets.
Mike
Oh, never heard of him.
Josh
Yeah, if I had a cricket sound effect, I would play it.
Andy
It brings me more joy that you haven't because you're both so stupid.
Mike
Was he playing with old curly mustache guy?
Andy
Yeah, yeah. Doc Gooden's a pick.
Josh
Okay.
Mike
Is he playing with Babe Ruth?
Andy
I said I didn't expect either of you to appreciate it.
Josh
I just thought you meant civilized and I wouldn't appreciate it. Not that no one on the planet Earth.
Mike
Well, Doc's ancestors, they really like it.
Andy
Doc Gooden pitched Grunkle.
Josh
Grunkle probably loves that pick. That's for Grunkle.
Andy
All right, rounded out Jay. Who do you have?
Josh
All right, well, right Now I got Dr. Dre, Dr. J and Dr. Dolittle. I'm deciding between two here, but I'm gonna. I'm gonna take. The heart wants what the heart wants.
Mike
Do it, man.
Josh
It's really similar to Andy's and that. It's not. It's not a vote getter, but I was a humongous Animaniacs fan growing up. I'm taking Dr. Scratch and Sniff. Dr. Otto. Scratch and Sniff.
Mike
Oh.
Josh
Oh, baby. Yeah.
Andy
I don't know who that. You just insulted me for. No one knowing who you're talking about. Mike knows every reference known to man. Mike doesn't know who it is?
Mike
Well, I don't know the name.
Andy
Let me look it up.
Josh
It's probably 50.
Andy
What animal is it?
Josh
It's not an animal. It's a man.
Andy
Oh, no, no.
Mike
I know. This is. I didn't know his name was Dr. Scratch and Sniff, but I know who he is.
Andy
You and Animaniacs were a match made in heaven.
Mike
Animaniacs was sensational.
Josh
Spielberg.
Andy
I mean, this draft did fall apart.
Mike
Josh's top tier.
Andy
Just so I have an answer between.
Josh
Scratch and sniff and Dr. Scholz.
Andy
Oh, Dr. Scholz.
Mike
Dr. Scholz, I think was.
Andy
That's a doctor, though.
Josh
Yeah, but I'm taking the brand.
Mike
Yeah.
Josh
Brand's not a doctor.
Andy
Dr. Jackal. Dr. Who. Dr. Frankenstein.
Mike
Oh, Dr. Who.
Andy
Yeah.
Mike
Oh, Bibbili. Big man.
Josh
I didn't watch it.
Andy
I chose Doc Gooden because I know him. I never saw Doctor who. I thought about taking it for the vote.
Josh
My wife watched. I knew that would be a huge vote getter, but I've never seen it.
Mike
I had Dr. Robotnik.
Andy
Yeah.
Mike
Dr. Doofenshmirtz. Who's that from Brother of Scratch and Stiff. Oh, that's Phineas and Ferb, man.
Andy
Oh, okay.
Mike
Dr. Doofenshmirtz is fantastic.
Andy
Some doctors have weird names.
Mike
And then Dr. Roxo.
Josh
Okay. Dr. Frankenstein. Is that a doctor? Is that a real doctor?
Andy
I mean, he wasn't the monster.
Josh
And then Dr. Moreau.
Mike
He did bring someone to life, though.
Andy
Dr. Somebody was already dead. That's more of a mortician.
Mike
Doctor.
Josh
Dr. Moreau. The island of Dr. Moreau.
Andy
Yeah.
Mike
Is he a real doctor? I don't think he's a scientist. Ah, whatever. Yeah.
Andy
So, yeah. Anybody we forgot back there?
Josh
Dudes, I'm sure Dr. Doom. Mike.
Mike
Yeah, he is on the list. He is on my list.
Andy
Yeah. That's better than Gooden. Anybody called? Just the doc.
Mike
Doc.
Josh
Also Doctor who.
Mike
Brown.
Josh
Is Doctor who an actual doctor?
Mike
No.
Josh
I don't know.
Mike
I don't know.
Josh
I've never watched the show.
Mike
Did you watch Doctor who, Josh?
Josh
No, I've never seen it.
Mike
Who is watching Doctor who?
Andy
My wife.
Josh
Oh, everybody. Everybody that I know. Everybody in Britain.
Andy
Everybody in Britain.
Mike
But they.
Andy
It's a British show.
Mike
I know people are watching.
Andy
Yeah, it's very, very popular, but I.
Mike
Don'T know who they are. Yeah, there's like, a bajillion episodes, right?
Andy
Yeah. And there's different doctors. They've had, like, actors change, so they're like.
Mike
Because that's how old the show is.
Andy
They've had, like, 10 of them.
Josh
What did we learn today?
Mike
Oh, my gosh.
Josh
So much.
Andy
I learned so much about how little I know about how to draft.
Josh
I learned that you can get a speeding ticket.
Mike
And I learned we need to fix the doctorate versus doctor issue.
Josh
Yeah.
Mike
Let's get our top people on this.
Andy
I still think the non MDs need just lowercase letters in front because they'll never claim it.
Mike
They'll just be Ted. It's embarrassing. Yeah.
Andy
Goodbye, everybody.
Mike
Goodbye.
Andy
See you next week.
Josh

In this episode, the award-winning dad-trio of Andy, Mike, and Jason return for an uproarious installment built around the theme of “Doctors that Aren’t Doctors.” They dive headfirst into why we call people “doctor” when they’re not medical doctors, share personal anecdotes (including tales of the elusive “Grunkle”), riff on kitchen appliances, and debate some characteristically silly “Would You Rather” questions. The show crescendos with a draft of their favorite non-doctor “doctors”—real and fictional.
Segments:
Segment: [17:42]
Premise: Draft the best “doctor” in pop culture/real life who isn’t an actual medical doctor.
On the rules:
Debate ensues about whether someone qualifies if they held a doctorate but no longer practice—e.g., Dr. Strange, who “is not taking any new clients.”
On Doctor Titles:
"If you go through all of the schooling to get your doctorate, like, yeah, I'm fine with it. You have earned yourself a title." – Mike (03:54)
On Boat Sizes:
“I've got bad news for you guys… The classes are: Class A, Class 1, Class 2… Get out of here. Call it a sedan or something.” – Josh (23:04)
On the “Would You Rather” Gut Punch:
"I'm taking the gut punch. That's probably once every three years." – Andy (09:49)
Microsphincters:
"Oh, it'd be real high-pitched, those are tiny little sphincters." – Mike (08:44)
