Key Discussion Points & Insights

---

1. The Great Future vs. 1700s Debate

[03:32-12:03] Would You Rather: Tech Future at War, or Peaceful 1700s?

• Scenario: Would you rather live in an advanced technological future where the world is at constant war, or in the 1700s with perfect peace but no modern conveniences?
• Mike's Take: Pokes fun at the ignorance of 1700s folk—only aware of “this street” and not the outside world.
• Jason's Fears: Obsessed with the idea that robots will turn on humanity:

  “You are hiding from the robots... tomorrow, snap your fingers, AI has taken over. They’re going to kill me. I know that.” —Jason [05:30]

• Group Consensus: All three ultimately select the peaceful 1700s, despite the high chance of dying young due to farming/germs/accidents.
• Funny Realization: Jason details how, even with modern tools, his attempts at gardening would have doomed him in the 1700s:

  “I don’t know how people grow food, man... my basil, my thyme, my herbs are on point. I can season my meal. That meal is coming from Sprouts, that’s not coming from a backyard. It’s impossible.” —Jason [09:11]

• Reflection: The group pokes fun at how people romanticize the past but forget actual hardships:

  “We look back and romanticize the simple time… Wouldn’t it be nice to just grow your food? But, no.” —Mike [10:19]

• Historical Context: Mike and Andy debate whether the world was truly “at peace” in the 1700s, riffing about Blockbuster nostalgia and simple times gone by.

2. Workplace Insanity: Light Mode Feuds & Vacation Portal

[12:14-24:43] Would You Rather: Light Mode Only or Public Ridicule at Work

• Prompt: Would you rather use a website with “no dark mode” for vacation requests, or be publicly ridiculed at work for every small mistake?
• Backstory: The Spitballers recently implemented a tracking system for vacation days, leading to a comedy of stats and friendly workplace shade-throwing.
• Mike cracks:

  “Why don’t you just take the text and burn it into my retina so that I can see it hours after I read it?” —Mike [16:11]

• Dark Mode vs. Light Mode Debate:
  • Jason: Proud light mode defender, prefers brightly lit physical spaces too.
  • Andy: Argues for dark mode’s reduced eye strain; asserts the office majority is “team dark mode.”
• Andy outs Jason:

  “Jason hates the light—he likes light mode in real life. IRL light mode.” —Andy [49:12]

• Team Dynamics: Jokes about shaming and ridicule being a sign of workplace closeness (“That means you’re close. That’s love.” —Jason [18:19]).

---

3. Would You Rather: Dream Backyards and Deprivation

[20:23-24:50] Pool vs. Lush Greenery

• Scenario: Gravel backyard with a pool and lazy river vs. lush, picturesque yard with no patio or pool?
• Jason: “Pool, for sure.” [20:59]
• Andy: Defends green backyards as enjoyable for relaxing, especially in non-desert climates.
• Arizona Context: Pools are a necessity, but costly and underused for parts of the year.
• Mike’s Hot Take:

  “A pool is a lot like a boat. You just want to know someone who has one.” [24:28]

---

4. Game Segment: “We Know History”

[27:36-47:04] Trivia With High Stakes and Bruised Egos

• Format: Reorder four historical events per round.
• Standout Moments:
  • Jason:

    “I know Disneyland is first because they’ve celebrated a hundred years!” —Jason, later immediately corrected [36:31]

  • Andy: Suffers repeated last-place finishes, leading to self-deprecating frustration and mock threats to remove dark mode as punishment.
  • Mike: Shows off quiz chops, wins several rounds but then gets tricked by Sesame Street’s timeline:

    “I tried to out-trick the trick. I should have just answered it, for real.” [47:19]

• Funny Missteps: The Magna Carta’s date stumps everyone, with Jason convinced it’s an “American document.”

  “Well, this is an American document signed… It’s got to be after Columbus! ...clearly not.” —Jason [41:53]

---

5. The Ultimate Backyard Draft

[52:23-66:33] Crafting the Dream Dad Yard

• Draft Rules: Four picks each for the perfect backyard, using the “ultimate” version of every item.
• Top Picks & Debate:
  • Mike: “Ultimate Pool, Outdoor Movie Theater, Tiki Bar, Zipline”
  • Jason: “Ultimate Hot Tub, Multi-sport Sport Court, Putting Green, Outdoor Speakers”
  • Andy: “Ultimate Grill, Fire Pit, Sauna, Trampoline”
• Ultimate Everything:

  “It’s not the bad version. It’s not the cheap version. It’s the ultimate.” —Andy [55:22]

• Jokes on Trampolines:

  “It’s the one thing I bought my kids that’s gotten used forever, no matter how old they get.” —Andy [62:13] “You want the ultimate trampoline? You have to sign the ultimate waiver.” —Mike [63:50]

• Real-Life Confessions: Jason admits he’s never used his own putting green:

  “I have never once used it. Not one single time.” —Jason [60:10]

---

6. Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Self-deprecating Banter:

  “Thank you, man. I don’t want you to take this the wrong way, but I would expect you to be the biggest loser here.” —Andy to Jason, on history trivia [47:12]

• Jason’s Apocalypse Worries:

  “We will all be robo murdered, okay? So get mine out of the way.” [05:56]

• The Seducers:

  “The Falcon said, ‘they’re not the Deucers, they’re the Seducers back there.’” [19:48]

  “83% says the whole story.” —Andy, citing his Twitter poll victory for dark mode [49:32]

[Jason]

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 Blub. Blop, bleep, blop. Blah, blah, blah, blah. I don't know if this came. I don't know if it came through at all.

[Mike]

I don't think it came through. I just hit myself really hard.

[Jason]

That's what I was going to say. I don't know. Especially on the audio.

[Mike]

It didn't work.

[Andy]

I'll make himself.

[Mike]

I'll make sure. So hard.

[Jason]

Audio might not have told the tale. Please go watch this.

[Mike]

I was trying to give you one

[Jason]

of those on YouTube.

[Andy]

Amazing.

[Jason]

You slapped yourself like you were your enemy.

[Andy]

Yeah, the. I know exactly committed to the bit.

[Jason]

You challenged yourself to a duel.

[Andy]

I mean, what happened was Mike started it with the bark bark, you know, and then he realized it really needed something.

[Mike]

Oh, no.

[Andy]

I knew where I was going. So.

[Jason]

Where?

[Andy]

His normal mouth. Yeah, I don't even know how to do that. He hit his mouth.

[Mike]

You got to do it harder.

[Andy]

I noticed he slapped the crap out of himself twice. For one of the greatest scouts of all time. So welcome into The Spitballers episode 369. Would you rather. We know history, it's one star. We've got also our draft. We're drafting the perfect backyard, which is an awesome draft.

[Jason]

I think that's really fun because we're at a stage of life now where it's like, this is like, Is that a big deal? Well, it's like, stuff we actually want.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Like, you think about your backyard.

[Jason]

Yeah, sometimes we're drafting, you know, things that are purple, and that's fine, but it's like, I don't care that much about things that are purple. I think about my backyard, what I want in there, what I wish I had. If I had, you know, all the space and time and money to just do, you know, snap my fingers and have a perfect backyard. Well, we get to do that today.

[Andy]

All right. We'll kick it off with some. Would you rather.

[Jason]

Would you rather.

[Andy]

Would you rather live in an advanced technological future, but the entire world is at constant war? Or live in the 1700s, but the world is at perfect peace? So basically, convenience with danger or peace with convenience. Wait. Without convenience. Sorry.

[Mike]

I like the idea of you having any idea what's happening in the world in the 1700s.

[Jason]

Right. Like, I'm sure there's peace on the other side of this flat.

[Mike]

You're like, you know what I know about just this country.

[Andy]

Mile.

[Mike]

I was gonna say this street, but it's not. If you're thinking about, like, the colonizing of America is like, there wasn't streets,

[Andy]

but as the eye can see.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Mike]

It was like, I have this land. You go over there to the horizon when I need cabbage.

[Jason]

But the thing is, you don't know about war. The world is at peace in the 1700s. What that really means is you aren't

[Andy]

at war because nobody's coming up to burn your farm down.

[Jason]

Exactly. You live in peace.

[Andy]

Yours is gonna be. You're at perfect peace, but you are at war with things like germs. You are worm war.

[Mike]

You're at war with worms.

[Andy]

You're at war with.

[Mike]

They're after your crops and terror.

[Andy]

You're at war with any disease at that time. You cut yourself on a rock, that's a 50, 50.

[Mike]

It might be the end.

[Andy]

That could be it.

[Jason]

You know, you're saying these things, I think to. But this is a very easy decision. I can't fathom saying I would rather live in a great, like the question is worded this way, advanced technological future where the entire world is at war.

[Andy]

I still don't know your answer.

[Jason]

That Means that. No, you can't live in that. What you're hiding from, you're hiding from the robots. That's basically all your life is, okay? Tomorrow, snap your fingers. AI has taken over. They've got robotics. You are.

[Andy]

Nobody is more afraid of robots and wants to buy one than you. Well, for sure to buy them. Is that because you think they'll fight for you?

[Jason]

No, they're going to kill me. I know that.

[Andy]

Nobody is going to be more first in line.

[Jason]

Yes.

[Andy]

For a robot than Jason Moore.

[Jason]

So this is actually true.

[Andy]

You might have deposits down.

[Jason]

I could literally pass a lie detector test.

[Mike]

You probably will have the first one.

[Andy]

That you might be the story.

[Mike]

You're going to be the first robo murder.

[Jason]

Be the first. Yeah, I'll be the first death. And that's fine. That's fine. I'm fine with that. Because you are. We will all be robo murdered, okay? So get mine out of the way. I don't have to live in a murder.

[Andy]

Your murder is coming. When you ask it to do something a human should easily do, yours is going to be like, get the mail. And it slits your throat with a

[Jason]

piece of the mail.

[Andy]

I don't believe that's going to be something stupid.

[Jason]

I don't believe that.

[Andy]

Be like, give me my shoes. From where, sir? From three feet away. And the robot's going to go, this is an embarrassment, sir. You don't deserve to be alive.

[Jason]

Squish my face. This is what I believe.

[Andy]

Squish my face.

[Jason]

I believe that we will have a golden age of robots where every home

[Mike]

has, like, bicentennial man.

[Jason]

I don't know the reference, but every home, or the majority of homes will have robots. It will be a life of abundance. And I think that will happen. But I do actually think AI will eventually be unstoppable and uncontrollable and will take over. So would I rather live the time in between with the robots? Yes. Even knowing they will be our overlook.

[Andy]

Can we get real with Jason right now? I'd love to believe your, you know, your Jules Verne predictions of the future. But, Jason, you were the guy that said that 3D TV was taking over.

[Jason]

I've been wrong once or twice.

[Andy]

You were positive everyone in their house would be rocking 3D movies.

[Jason]

I've got two famous things I was wrong about, but.

[Andy]

Yes, you do.

[Jason]

And one was TV. Yes. And one was the 3D TV. And let me tell you, I hope. I hope it turns into three. I really hope it turns into three things.

[Mike]

Let me set the record straight. I really hope I'm wrong about the destruction of humanity.

[Jason]

Yes. Let it be known. I want. I want that out there. I'm willing to take.

[Mike]

I'm willing to take the L and be known as the guy who was

[Andy]

your gun around twice.

[Jason]

So, yes, I do. I don't necessarily think that we will like go to Terminator 2 style war with robots, but I don't think we'll control AI. I think it will usurp us.

[Andy]

So you want to live in the 1700s?

[Jason]

I would absolutely choose to live in the 1700s.

[Andy]

I want porch life, man. I want porch life.

[Jason]

But you also have to farm.

[Andy]

No, I know, it's a lot of work.

[Jason]

Eating is going to be a lot of work. There ain't no grocery store.

[Andy]

That's true. That's true. I mean, I hope it's in a nice area.

[Jason]

Can I talk about eating in the 1700s? Yeah. What I have learned.

[Andy]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jason]

From your visits. No, not my visits to my backyard. I've built. So here's the deal. I have built a chicken coop. I have chickens. I get eggs. I have built a really nice garden.

[Mike]

Did you use 1700s only tools? No.

[Jason]

We have automatic timer. I have hired out. This is as nice as I know can happen in where I'm living. And we've had it now for probably a year and a half, this garden. We've had a couple of ears of corn, a handful of singular handfuls of tomatoes.

[Andy]

Handfuls.

[Jason]

Handfuls.

[Andy]

So you would have died.

[Jason]

I don't know how people grow food, man. I've had this thing for a year and a half.

[Andy]

More room.

[Jason]

I've got four large beds of vegetation

[Andy]

and you need four acres of vegetation.

[Jason]

We can't. We can't survive on this.

[Andy]

No, no. You haven't been eating from.

[Jason]

I'll tell you what. My basil, my thyme, my herbs are on point. I can season my meal. Great. With my garden.

[Andy]

You can season your.

[Jason]

But that meal is coming from sprouts. That's not coming from a backyard. It's impossible. How did people. How do people survive in the 1700s?

[Andy]

Well, you got to go out and get yourself a buffalo or five.

[Jason]

Oh, that buffalo would kill me, I don't think.

[Mike]

Yeah, you need a calx.

[Andy]

Well, no, I'm saying you got to shoot them. Oh, you got to butcher them.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Andy]

But you got to go eat the meat. You got to catch some rabbits.

[Mike]

You can only carry 200 pounds. I know. Historical document.

[Andy]

That is a fact.

[Mike]

You just have to leave the rest of the £2,000 of meat just there to rot.

[Jason]

That was always so frustrating.

[Andy]

If you choose the 1700s one and you wish you were dead from war.

[Mike]

100%. 100%. I think we look back, oh, what

[Andy]

I wouldn't give for some more right now.

[Mike]

We're like. We look back and like. I romanticize it the simple.

[Andy]

We all do.

[Mike]

Time of life of, like, man. It's just the hullabaloo of modern society. Wouldn't it be nice to just. All you had to do was grow your food.

[Jason]

But.

[Mike]

No. But is there even a chance mo money, more problems.

[Jason]

Is there a chance you win the war against an advanced technological.

[Mike]

No.

[Jason]

Yeah. There's no way we win that war.

[Andy]

All you hope is that the war doesn't come to you during your lifetime,

[Mike]

that it's somewhere around you.

[Andy]

But, I mean, you're right, Mike. We romanticize it for sure. But I do romanticize the ignorance of those people to the outside world. Sure, but like Jason said, if I can't see it over the mountaintop, it ain't happening. We do. The world's nice.

[Mike]

We do all the same for our childhood. We're like, man, everyone, how great it was, and you had to drive to Blockbuster.

[Andy]

We do forget.

[Mike]

And you're like. And then you. Okay, rewind. Go back to you. Like, we have to drive all the way to Blockbuster.

[Andy]

We suck.

[Mike]

You just.

[Jason]

You just can't be happy.

[Mike]

No. Yeah. So, yeah, there it is.

[Jason]

Give me not war.

[Andy]

I'll take 1700. Best case, I have a nice, peaceful time. Worst case, I die young and am happy.

[Mike]

Yeah, but it's real long.

[Jason]

Well, you die of starvation because I'm telling you, you can't farm through.

[Mike]

That's not a fast death.

[Andy]

1700s was a long time ago.

[Jason]

Yeah. Yeah, that was.

[Andy]

Okay, I can picture 1800s. I can't picture 1700.

[Jason]

Well, no, if you think about 1776, you can see, like, the foundation of America.

[Andy]

There's no war.

[Jason]

Basically, the musical Hamilton, if you think

[Andy]

about that, you know, without the duel.

[Jason]

Well, there would be duels.

[Andy]

No, no war.

[Jason]

That's not war, okay? That's part of peacetime. A gentleman's war. I challenge you to a duel.

[Andy]

Would you rather work at a place where you have to request all of your vacation time through a website?

[Jason]

Oh, yes. Oh, my goodness gracious. Oh, tell me you haven't proofread the doc without telling me you haven't proofread the doc. So. Ladies and gentlemen, continue.

[Mike]

Andy, continue reading.

[Jason]

The question.

[Andy]

Would you rather work at a place where you have to request all of your vacation time through a website with no dark mode. Or work at a place where you are loudly and publicly ridiculed for the tiniest mistake.

[Jason]

Oh, this is a great question. This is a great question.

[Andy]

This is coming from, I'm guessing, Al in Arizona.

[Jason]

Oh, my goodness. So we have implemented in our workplace a new vacation request system to track things.

[Mike]

I feel like ownership is getting shamed for having a more organized. More organized structure to actual time off.

[Jason]

Tell me, have we denied ever a request through the system currently?

[Mike]

You want to show you what's about.

[Jason]

Yeah, yeah. What's about to happen? The website's going to be shut down. I'm all requests cease.

[Andy]

Let me read you some statistics. You want the statistics?

[Jason]

Oh, yeah. Let's fight fire.

[Andy]

2026 requests.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Andy]

49 requests for time off.

[Jason]

Oh, I love it.

[Andy]

Honestly surprised at the quantity for the speed and what happened.

[Jason]

I mean, come on. This is a small group.

[Mike]

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

[Andy]

49 requests.

[Mike]

I just want. Because look, this is an evergreen show just for the listeners at home. We are halfway through.

[Jason]

Not even.

[Mike]

20. 26.

[Jason]

Not halfway through.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Andy]

49-6-11 requests. Record setting.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Days approved. You want the number?

[Jason]

Yeah, I'm afraid.

[Andy]

You want to take a guess?

[Jason]

No.

[Mike]

60.

[Andy]

Mike.

[Mike]

No, I'm not even going to guess.

[Andy]

139 days approved.

[Jason]

Do we pay them for work off?

[Andy]

Correct?

[Mike]

I believe so.

[Jason]

Okay.

[Andy]

Hold on.

[Jason]

Wait.

[Mike]

That's the beauty of the days denied.

[Jason]

Days denied. Zero. Oh, man, those are some nice spots. Hey, can. Can we get just all in light mode amongst the people in this room? I'm just curious if you got the data. Oh, we got a leaderboard. We have a leaderboard.

[Andy]

I think we do have a leaderboard.

[Jason]

Oh, you bring this question to the table, you get roasted.

[Andy]

You ready?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Andy]

So who do we have in the office right now?

[Jason]

We got the Falcon, who I don't think has put through his two week request yet.

[Andy]

No, I mean honeymoon. I got.

[Jason]

So let's add that on.

[Andy]

Al and Papa Josh, this is the perfect. Twist it and turn it to you.

[Jason]

Wonderful.

[Andy]

We got a tie.

[Jason]

Oh, I don't even know.

[Mike]

Get out of here.

[Andy]

Al Borland and Papa Josh are tied with 13 days off.

[Jason]

Okay, so that. So that doesn't even count.

[Andy]

The falcon. The falcon is nine.

[Jason]

No, because he hasn't even. I know.

[Andy]

His is for the following year.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Jason]

Okay. Okay. So this is the rest of this year.

[Andy]

Yeah, the rest of this year.

[Jason]

Okay. All right, that's fair.

[Andy]

He does have his honeymoon scheduled for 11 business days off. Yeah, which. Man, we. We approved them all. Yeah, we approved the heck out of them.

[Jason]

This was for organization. This wasn't. For shame, but you bring a question like this, we go.

[Mike]

Shame.

[Andy]

Oh, that was. That was a devious question.

[Jason]

So let's take record setting. Let's take the second part of this question, which makes. I don't know where this comes from.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Jason]

Or a place where you are loudly and publicly ridiculed for the tiniest mistake.

[Andy]

Now, that's a place I wouldn't want to work. Really?

[Mike]

I know. That's a. That sounds like a place where they get stuff done.

[Andy]

Well, I guess if I was paid there, I would, Right? But not for free.

[Jason]

No, I.

[Mike]

You. You. Light mode. Light mode.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Al]

Thank you for getting to the meat of this question.

[Mike]

Dark mode. Get at it.

[Andy]

Guys, look burnt.

[Mike]

Why don't you just take the text and burn it into my retina so that I can see it for hours and hours and hours after I read it?

[Andy]

Don't be weird with your light mode only. You have to understand, the entire society has moved to a light dark. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I go with whatever the platform says.

[Mike]

We had it.

[Andy]

I'm not all dark mode. I'm light during the day and dark during the night.

[Mike]

We had it all figured out. And then some sort of millennial hipster shows up and they're like, mean.

[Jason]

I need the opposite of this, though.

[Mike]

That's what you guys are.

[Andy]

And then it'll be twice. It'll be twilight mode. It'll be breakfast mode.

[Mike]

Like, well, why couldn't I customize it? I need. I want my font green.

[Jason]

Like.

[Mike]

No, this is what it is.

[Jason]

Alien mode is better. Light is better. You normal, regular.

[Andy]

So you have your show dock up right now. What mode is it?

[Jason]

Oh, light mode, for sure.

[Andy]

I click the button, dark mode out. Don't you love me? Well, that's.

[Jason]

I will default it to dark.

[Mike]

I didn't know there was a tab. Welcome to light mode, show dog.

[Andy]

Oh, you just turned.

[Mike]

Yeah, I can see it's so much better.

[Andy]

I will not answer this question.

[Mike]

What is wrong with.

[Andy]

I will not answer this question?

[Jason]

I don't.

[Mike]

You light mode weirdos. You turn your night shift on at night too, baby eyes.

[Jason]

I will say this.

[Andy]

Yo, dude, can I deny some of these?

[Jason]

Yeah, you can go back in a red.

[Andy]

Okay, here's a new one. Would you rather. Would you rather cancel?

[Mike]

It's not my energy.

[Jason]

No, there's a good question.

[Andy]

Would you rather. Would you rather cancel Company days off, New Year's Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving or Christmas. Which two do you want to cancel?

[Jason]

I saw Gather cancel Christmas or New Year's. I saw some kind of study or something that was done talking about how like the closer you are to people, the more that you make fun of them. Like groups that. Groups that make fun of each other are happier with each other.

[Andy]

That's a fact.

[Jason]

And so I would much rather work in a place where you are loudly and publicly ridiculed for tiny little things because that means. That means you're close.

[Andy]

That's love.

[Jason]

Or you're working for an absolute monster.

[Andy]

The real question is who's been made fun of the least here? Because I'd be concerned.

[Jason]

Oh, that's a great question.

[Andy]

I'd be very.

[Jason]

Are we including programmers here? Because they don't really make the show often enough.

[Mike]

No, they're. They're more robots.

[Andy]

Right, right.

[Jason]

So of the.

[Andy]

Of the wall, I feel like it's pretty darn fair.

[Jason]

Yeah, we're, it's.

[Andy]

We're equal opportunity self esteem destroyers.

[Kiana]

Yeah, man.

[Jason]

We should really. We should get a leaderboard going for.

[Andy]

Don't you feel the most loved, Al? Sometimes.

[Al]

Sometimes I do.

[Jason]

I wonder how they do you all think that you are the most ridiculed because I wonder if that's how it comes across.

[Al]

I don't think I'm the most.

[Jason]

Okay. Okay. I want to. Let's go to.

[Andy]

Let's go to the Josh might feel the most.

[Jason]

Let's go to the Doosers. I want, I want to know genuinely from each of you who do each of you think is the most ridiculed? So, hey, they all think Papa John.

[Andy]

So does Papa John.

[Jason]

Okay.

[Mike]

Okay. Now by a show of hands with pointing from the deucer's alley, who is the ugliest Deucer? Oh, yeah.

[Jason]

Oh, get out of here. Get out of here.

[Mike]

Jeremy, you don't think that we've got

[Andy]

Falcon pointing at Josh. Josh pointing at himself.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Andy]

And I'll pointing at himself.

[Mike]

Yeah. Because he's just trying to get out of it.

[Andy]

We're learning a lot.

[Jason]

I think you're all three beautiful.

[Andy]

Well, the falcon said they're not the deucers. They're the seducers back there.

[Jason]

The seducers.

[Andy]

That's what, that's what the Falcon said.

[Jason]

All right.

[Andy]

That was the greatest question we've ever had to answer.

[Mike]

It was.

[Jason]

It was great.

[Andy]

And it got me so good because I just.

[Jason]

This is a brand new system.

[Mike]

We just read it at the end of the day. My show doc is now in light mode, and that would not have happened without that. This question.

[Andy]

We got time for one more hour.

[Jason]

Let's do. I assume you put that in there.

[Al]

It was actually a lunch table discussion.

[Andy]

Oh, my.

[Jason]

Great job. We have the best team.

[Andy]

I'm a little more concerned with that answer.

[Jason]

We have the best team. That was a great question.

[Andy]

Would you rather have a gravel and concrete backyard with zero plants? Okay. This will set the table.

[Mike]

We're doing the draft.

[Andy]

It'll set the table for the backyard.

[Jason]

But I'm gonna.

[Mike]

We're gonna give away picks.

[Andy]

Do you want me to skip this one, Al, or is it safe?

[Al]

I. I thought it was safe, but if you want to go to a different one, there's some more in there, I think.

[Andy]

I think it's more of a thematic thing, Mike. I think it'll work. Would you rather have a gravel and concrete backyard? So that's not a lot with zero plants, but a pool and a lazy river in the middle of the. So it's like just dirt and pool.

[Jason]

Okay.

[Andy]

Or a lush, green, picturesque backyard with no patio or pool?

[Jason]

Oh, this is very easy for me, and I think that it will be very easy for everyone, and I think we'll be on different sides.

[Mike]

Pool.

[Jason]

Pool, for sure.

[Mike]

It's not the pool.

[Jason]

Yeah, see? Exactly. But it's easy to make a decision.

[Mike]

At that point.

[Andy]

You're just looking through your windows.

[Mike]

I have.

[Andy]

Because you can't go out there without a patio or a pool.

[Mike]

I've had a yard.

[Andy]

Okay.

[Mike]

That was. I mean, it had, like, the default track home builder patio, so I had that, but then I just had pool, and the other half of the yard was completely destroyed.

[Jason]

Right. And you. Did you use the pool in the summer?

[Mike]

We. Yes, I did.

[Jason]

Okay.

[Mike]

It's not great.

[Jason]

No, I know it's not great.

[Andy]

You have a patio.

[Jason]

But I guess I'm thinking. I'm thinking in this situation, you don't

[Andy]

have a patio either. You can't go outside without the sun hitting your face.

[Jason]

I had a backyard.

[Andy]

You can't even have a cup of coffee without the sun hitting your face.

[Jason]

Okay.

[Mike]

Just a reminder that when you're in your sun or when you're in the pool, the sun will be blasting.

[Andy]

I know. I'm just thinking, if you don't have a pool and you don't have a patio, can you use your backyard at all?

[Jason]

Neither one of these are in Arizona. Neither one of these are perfect, obviously, which is why the question exists. But I have had if it's lush.

[Mike]

I've got shade.

[Jason]

I had a house where.

[Andy]

That's a good nuance.

[Jason]

We spent a lot of money in the backyard, and we had this, like, lush. We talked to landscape. We wanted it to feel like we were at a resort. We had some palm trees. We had elevation.

[Mike]

I like it.

[Jason]

Sunken fire pit, a barbecue.

[Mike]

Oh, he's doing all the draft picks for the.

[Jason]

No, I mean, look, I don't want you to question. No. Like, we don't know what's in a backyard. The people don't know.

[Mike]

They've never been.

[Jason]

And after we got this made, we never used it. We just never went and sat outside in the backyard.

[Mike]

But.

[Jason]

But when we had a different house, that was basically what you're describing. Where the backyard's small, but we got a pool. It just takes up the whole pool. We swam all the time. It was actually in the summer. It was actually used. I don't think here you just want. I don't want to go sit under a nice tree in my backyard.

[Andy]

Honestly, if the trees you're describing, you're describing a normal amount of happiness.

[Jason]

No, but, like, if I was going to a cabin and I'm in a forest and I sit outside in nature, that's different than just, I've got a lush backyard. I'm gonna go sit in my backyard. Look how beautiful it's. How beautiful can a backyard be?

[Andy]

Now I'm. Now you're just losing me, man. Yep, you're losing me.

[Jason]

So you think you can have a beautiful enough backyard to just want to sit in it?

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Jason]

Really?

[Al]

What about presentation, too? If you're having people over for dinner

[Andy]

and they look out there, I got a lazy river.

[Al]

Barren land with some water or some

[Jason]

water, Some water flowing in a river.

[Andy]

No one's going to think you completed the job if you have a lazy river in a pool and nothing else.

[Jason]

But they're still going to want to get in my laser.

[Andy]

I mean, a lazy river is possibly a pick today.

[Mike]

It's February, Jason.

[Jason]

It's heated. It's a lazy river. You think I'm building a lazy river that I can only use half?

[Mike]

You have a third mortgage to eat your pool.

[Andy]

It's hot cocoa. Actually. It's not water.

[Mike]

Arizona is a strange place because you need a pool. You have to have access to water in the summer. And yet a pool when you're younger, it's different. But once you get, you know, old enough to be crotchety and complain, a pool is really usable from about June till maybe early September.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And Then the rest of the time.

[Andy]

It does. It does come to mind how much money I spend to maintain it.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah.

[Andy]

For the limited amount of use a pool.

[Mike]

I've heard the. The phrase a pool is a lot like a boat. Yeah. You just want to know someone who has one.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Mike]

As opposed to having your own. It's fair because. But no, there's far more time here.

[Andy]

So you guys are on different sides. And I.

[Mike]

Give me the.

[Andy]

I have now been moved to the pictures in Arizona.

[Jason]

There's no way you can live without a pool. So I will go pool.

[Andy]

Okay.

[Mike]

All right.

[Andy]

We'll take a break. We'll come back with another game.

[Mike]

Use your pool.

[Jason]

What time is it? Game time.

[Andy]

All right, we are, we are playing the second ever edition of we know History, which might be, it might be my favorite game. How many rounds do we play?

[Al]

We play five.

[Andy]

We shoot for five. Oh, this is even better. It'll be super fun.

[Al]

Last time we did four in a warm up round. So we can either do four or five.

[Andy]

So this is very fun to. Fun to play with at. Play along with us at home. Each round there are four things that have happened in the history of mankind. And our job on this show is to put together those four items in the order that they actually happened. Because we know.

[Jason]

Yeah, we do.

[Andy]

That's one of the things we know.

[Jason]

We know.

[Andy]

You know medals and we know history.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Jason]

And we know history so well. And so you listen here to know how to chronologically view it.

[Mike]

I have read round one.

[Jason]

Yeah, it's very.

[Mike]

We are in big trouble. So big trouble. Are we?

[Andy]

Are we in big trouble?

[Jason]

Some of these are.

[Mike]

Yep.

[Jason]

I thought one of these was by the pyramid. I don't know.

[Andy]

All right, round one, guys. Let's play. Let's go. And by the way, one point for every event you have in the right slot. And then if you nail all four, you get a bonus point for five total. So you get them all in the right order, you get a bonus point. Round one, the introduction of sliced bread. Got it. The introduction of Oreo cookies. Okay. The introduction of McDonald's.

[Mike]

Oh my gosh.

[Andy]

And the introduction of Coca Cola.

[Jason]

Oh, my goodness.

[Mike]

Classic, extra classic.

[Andy]

I imagine it is the original Coke.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Andy]

I'm not going to give you classic or not just original invention of Coca Cola. Now, round one in order. I have mine. I know you Guys are working on them, but. So the introduction of sliced bread, Oreos, McDonald's, and Coke in order. We do need to lock in before we announce. We'll take turns announcing.

[Mike]

My order is on my boogie board.

[Andy]

Mine is down.

[Jason]

Really?

[Mike]

Not pencils down.

[Andy]

And so since we're playing all these rounds, we'll just rotate who says it first. But we all have them locked in. I will start with, I think the fur. Oh, my gosh. I feel dumb now already. I'm going to go.

[Mike]

We'll go real quick for everyone. Reminder, introduction of McDonald's.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Oreos, sliced bread, Coca Cola.

[Andy]

I am going number one, Coke. Number two, bread. Number three, McDonald's, number four, Oreos.

[Mike]

All right, we have a difference of opinion. I went number one, Coca Cola.

[Andy]

Oh, oh, okay.

[Mike]

Then Oreos.

[Andy]

Okay.

[Mike]

Then bread, then McDonald's.

[Andy]

Okay. Are you keeping track of all this, Al?

[Jason]

Yep, I am.

[Mike]

Oh, I feel bad immediately.

[Jason]

I am kind of in the. I'm. I'm like, between you guys, we're all starting Coca Cola.

[Andy]

Oh, boy.

[Jason]

I think that was first. Then I went. Then I went sliced bread, Oreo, and McDonald's.

[Mike]

Oh.

[Andy]

So me and you have the first two, and then we just flipped our last two.

[Mike]

Yes, man.

[Andy]

What is the true answer?

[Mike]

Like, I got bread and McDonald's backwards.

[Andy]

What's the answer in history here?

[Al]

You, in fact, did not get anything wrong, Mike. And you got five points.

[Kiana]

Yes.

[Mike]

Game over, baby. It's done.

[Al]

Andy ended up getting only Coke, right? So he got one point, and that sucks. Got two points. Yes.

[Jason]

So McDonald's and Coke order.

[Andy]

Read Mike's order, because I hate him.

[Al]

Is Coca Cola, oreos, sliced bread, McDonald's.

[Jason]

Yeah, man.

[Andy]

So that's. We just had Oreos wrong.

[Mike]

Go with your gut, everybody.

[Andy]

I think it was about bread.

[Jason]

Bread was sliced. I got bread later than you think.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Al]

I'm gonna give you the years because we had a comment.

[Andy]

Figure out how to slice something.

[Jason]

That's what this should be. 1700s. Yes.

[Andy]

Coca Cola.

[Al]

1886.

[Andy]

So we all got that, right?

[Al]

Oreos, 1912.

[Mike]

That's crazy.

[Al]

Sliced bread. 1928. That's what McDonald's. 1955.

[Jason]

Okay.

[Andy]

So I just got Oreos.

[Jason]

I knew McDonald's was, like, in the.

[Andy]

It's not over. There's five rounds.

[Jason]

There's plenty of time.

[Mike]

But no, there's not the.

[Jason]

The 1928. Sliced bread is such a weird thing because the others are like companies, whereas sliced bread is just doing something. It's like someone sliced bread, but you need the.

[Mike]

You need the machinery to do it.

[Jason]

I mean, being like, sold sliced bread. It's kind of like bottled water. People used to bottle water, but they didn't sell bottled water until, like, in a grocery store until way so late.

[Andy]

By the way, you can now ask for time off with dark mode. It's done.

[Al]

All right, we got it done.

[Mike]

Round number two, give in.

[Andy]

I was just a couple lines of code. Round two. Here are the four things that happened. Put them in order. The Game Boy was released.

[Jason]

Oh, this is going to be a Mike special. Shoot.

[Andy]

I know the Tetris was released.

[Jason]

I don't know this crap.

[Andy]

Donkey Kong was released and Pong was released. So we got a four video game special.

[Mike]

I need a qualifier.

[Andy]

Oh, my gosh.

[Mike]

Donkey Kong, the arcade game.

[Al]

Stand by.

[Jason]

Oh, Mike. Mike knows this so well.

[Andy]

I mean, I have mine based.

[Jason]

I've got mine.

[Mike]

Sure.

[Al]

Yes. Arcade game.

[Mike]

Okay. Oh, man.

[Jason]

Oh, that makes me.

[Andy]

That one is a problem for me, too, because my. My brain was going to basically, like. Not Atari, but first. First system, Nintendo Kong.

[Mike]

Right.

[Jason]

And that's different because everything else is a system. So. But I guess.

[Andy]

All right, well, Mike gets to read them first. I feel pretty underwater here, so just.

[Mike]

So it's Tetris, Donkey Kong, Game Boy, Pong. I'm still filling out my order. You guys already have yours?

[Andy]

We do, I do. But I mean, if you want to tell me yours, I totally will copy it.

[Mike]

Okay, I'm going to. I'm going to go with my gut again.

[Andy]

Go ahead.

[Mike]

So we got. I'm going Pong, dk, Donkey Kong, Tetris, Game Boy.

[Jason]

That is what I have. Pong, Kong, Tetris game.

[Andy]

I have Pong, Kong. Pong, Kong, Game Boy, Tetris.

[Al]

Jason and Mike both got five points.

[Mike]

Oh, my gosh.

[Al]

Andy got two points.

[Andy]

Oh, man. I thought Tetris came out on Game Boy.

[Mike]

It did, but they had to secure the rights for a game that already exists.

[Andy]

Okay.

[Al]

All right, so we had Pong in 72, Donkey Kong in 81, Tetris in 84, Game Boy in 89.

[Andy]

Oh, that's a big five year difference.

[Jason]

I feel like what's funny is I had Tetris and Donkey Kong reversed until Mike asked.

[Andy]

Until Mike said his. I'm just kidding.

[Jason]

It was what Mike said it was. It was. It was Mike's doing.

[Mike]

Erase, erase, erase.

[Jason]

But it was once you said it was the arcade version. Because originally I was thinking, like, but

[Andy]

it was arcade version of Kong.

[Jason]

Yeah, but I.

[Andy]

But. Oh, you had Kong. Wrong.

[Jason]

I thought I had it. Tetris, and then Donkey Kong until Owl said, this is the arcade version of Donkey Kong, which I assume came way before console.

[Andy]

So I have some coming back to doing this battle.

[Al]

We got Mike with 10 points, Jason with seven, Andy with three.

[Andy]

Oh, boy. 10, seven, three. We still got time. This is why five rounds works, but I'm going to lose. All right, round three.

[Mike]

Oh, my gosh.

[Andy]

The debut of Star Trek. Okay, I'm gonna try a new strategy here. Number two, the Beatles first appear on the Ed Sullivan Show.

[Mike]

Oh, my gosh.

[Andy]

Number three, the opening of Disneyland. And number four, Hawaii becoming a state.

[Jason]

Oh, man, that one.

[Andy]

See, I've got a. My strategy has failed me because these items, these. These events are very close together.

[Jason]

Oh, dude, one of them's not.

[Andy]

So this is. Man. Man, this is tough. I'm gonna go. Man. I think I'm not first, so I'm gonna just go.

[Mike]

Right.

[Jason]

I guess I'm first. Right?

[Andy]

But just. I'm not locked.

[Jason]

I wish I knew the answer to one of these.

[Andy]

All right, I got my list, and this is where I got to make up some hay, man.

[Al]

This is.

[Andy]

This is wide open, but I am frightened.

[Jason]

How you doing, Mike? Are you locked?

[Mike]

No, I have my list. I'm locked. And it is. This feels, like, very shameful to be an American.

[Andy]

You're two for two so far on the five points. So, Jason, you get to read your locked list first. Lucky guy, dude.

[Jason]

The Hawaiian becoming Hawaiian.

[Mike]

Hawaii is everything.

[Jason]

It is. And I feel like you want to say that that was forever ago, but I know it was the. It was the 50th, right? Or was it Alaska? I don't know. We were 48.

[Andy]

Don't compound your hideously. Go ahead, read it.

[Mike]

Read it.

[Jason]

I know Disneyland is first because they've celebrated 100 years.

[Andy]

So number one, then I'm going to

[Jason]

Hawaii, then I'm going Trek, then I'm going Beatles.

[Andy]

I don't like when part of you reading your list is proving why I'm wrong in some of my lists.

[Mike]

All right, I will say I have nothing to do with Jason's list.

[Andy]

I have Hawaii first. Disney 2, Star Trek 3, Beatles, 4.

[Mike]

I went Hawaii. Disney, Beatles, Star Trek.

[Andy]

So me and your similar.

[Mike]

Disneyland is not 100 years old, by the way.

[Andy]

No, I can't celebrate it.

[Mike]

They're in, like, 70 or something.

[Andy]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. All right, maybe you're wrong. Maybe we're wrong.

[Mike]

Mike.

[Al]

Andy finishes the round with zero points.

[Mike]

Oh, no.

[Jason]

Oh, no.

[Mike]

That means Hawaii's not first.

[Al]

Jason and Mike, both got two points. They just got them in different.

[Mike]

Okay, okay, okay. Well, no, we'll take that. We'll take that.

[Andy]

Utter disaster. I'm removing dark mode from the employee portal.

[Jason]

What is the.

[Al]

Just a couple lines of code you guys order. The correct order is Disneyland.

[Mike]

Thank you.

[Al]

1955 didn't celebrate 100 Hawaii yet Hawaii became the 50th state in 1959.

[Mike]

That's so insane.

[Andy]

The Beatles, Disney's first year. 55.

[Al]

55.

[Jason]

So I just had tracking Beatles backwards.

[Andy]

Okay.

[Mike]

And I had Disney, Hawaii, backwards, Beatles.

[Al]

1964 on the Ed Sullivan show. And Star Trek debuted in 1966.

[Mike]

So I knew Hawaii was. Was my bugaboo.

[Andy]

My strategy was to write the decades next to him. And like all my decades were right and my order was completely wrong.

[Al]

This one was the tightest one of all of them as far as the grouping.

[Andy]

Gosh dang it.

[Al]

So I am the next one. You're gonna have a lot more breathing room.

[Andy]

I don't care. I'm done.

[Jason]

You gotta just hope that Mike and I know nothing about history round. But the problem is we.

[Mike]

You must know everything History.

[Andy]

So what is it, like 100 to 75 to 2?

[Al]

It's any of two people's game.

[Andy]

Okay.

[Al]

It's Mike with 12, Jason with 9, and Andy with 3.

[Mike]

It was so cruel the way that

[Andy]

you said Andy has got. And then I thought you were going

[Mike]

to say I loved it.

[Jason]

Yeah. Well done.

[Andy]

Round. Number four. Columbus sails to the Americas.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Jason]

Oh, man. Isn't there a song where I'm supposed

[Mike]

to know this, but we're not going to talk.

[Jason]

What are the lyrics?

[Andy]

Oh, my gosh. So Columbus.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Andy]

Sales to the Americas. Number two is the signing of the Magna Carta.

[Jason]

Dude, I just read all four of these. This is a pure guess from me. I am like, if you put these in a hopper. I just should. I should write it down. The order I'm reading. I don't even know.

[Andy]

And the Magna Carta. We all know what that is, Jason. But just for important document number three, the invention of the printing press.

[Mike]

Okay,

[Andy]

that was Gutenberg, Right? And number four, Steve Gutenberg. Yes, Jobs Gutenberg. Number four, the painting of the Mona Lee. This is unfair.

[Jason]

This is wild. Wild. So Columbus sails the ocean blue. And something two. Oh, I need the first three digits.

[Mike]

It would be a shame if you didn't know him.

[Jason]

Okay, so the invention of the printing press, obviously. Well, I guess so.

[Andy]

He's really working at it.

[Jason]

I know. 1776 is the year that America was Formed and Columbus came obviously well before that. So I've got a little bit of

[Mike]

a barometer anytime before that.

[Jason]

Anytime from 0 to 0 to 1775. Well, 2.

[Mike]

He knows there's a 2. So anywhere from year two.

[Jason]

Right. Because it could have been Columbus sailed the ocean blue and0002. Right. Like, yeah, it could be.

[Mike]

It could be.

[Andy]

Gosh,

[Mike]

this is redonk.

[Andy]

It's not easy for us either, Jason. Oh, man, man, man, man. I've got mine locked, but man, they're not good.

[Jason]

This is where I'm. I'm telling you guys, I'm gonna get four for four here.

[Andy]

Oh, you will.

[Mike]

Wait, you will.

[Andy]

Who's the first one? Me.

[Jason]

Yeah, I believe that's correct.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah, you're. You're up. Okay, I have my list. I'm locked.

[Andy]

I've got Magna Carta one, Columbus, two press, three, Mona, four.

[Mike]

I'm going. Wait, wait, wait.

[Jason]

Say that again.

[Andy]

Magna Carta 1 printing press or sorry, Columbus 2 printing press 3 Mona Lisa 4. Are you the complete opposite?

[Mike]

I am. I have no matches. Oh, good. I'm Columbus.

[Andy]

It's my best chance of coming back.

[Mike]

Columbus. Yeah. Magna Carta, Mona Lisa printing press.

[Jason]

Oh, man, I'm. So we're going to get some different points here. I'm starting with Columbus as well. Okay, then I'm going printing press, then the Magna Carta, then Mona Lisa.

[Andy]

So.

[Mike]

Owl. This is embarrassing, dude.

[Andy]

I think Magna Carta was first.

[Al]

Magna Carta was first.

[Mike]

Boom.

[Andy]

By a lot. By. It's 12. 10 or 12.

[Al]

Did you just Google it?

[Andy]

Oh, yeah.

[Jason]

After. After.

[Andy]

I mean, I was just like. I. Let me tell you what I googled, okay. What is the Magna Carta?

[Mike]

That's what I know, I know. 1500.

[Jason]

My process just so everyone crap is. I thought, well, this is an American document signed. It's got to be after Columbus, not an American document. It's clearly not.

[Mike]

What is the Magna Carta it does have.

[Andy]

I never figured that out.

[Mike]

Just some foundations of democracy into it.

[Andy]

So wait, so I got National Royal

[Al]

Charter of Rights agreed to by King John.

[Andy]

You didn't have that first, did you?

[Mike]

No, I did not.

[Andy]

Excellent.

[Mike]

I have two. Two.

[Andy]

So what was number two?

[Mike]

Columbus got to be two.

[Al]

Number two was the invention of the printing press.

[Mike]

Oh, no.

[Andy]

Is that 14 by Gutenberg? Yeah.

[Al]

So I'm giving you a half point for that.

[Jason]

Oh,

[Mike]

I got zero then.

[Al]

And he got two and a half points.

[Andy]

Okay.

[Al]

Mike got zero points. Oh, Jason got two points.

[Jason]

So I'm a point away from Mike.

[Andy]

Baby, that's right. 12.

[Al]

11. 5.5.

[Jason]

That's right.

[Al]

Do I 12, Mike with 11. 5 with 11.

[Andy]

And last rounds were double. Right.

[Mike]

How did that happen?

[Jason]

What do you mean?

[Al]

You had 12 and you got no points, so you have zero.

[Jason]

It was 12 to nine and then I scored two.

[Andy]

So I still have the same amount you had before.

[Mike]

Okay, Yeah, I didn't realize.

[Andy]

But this is double. Double points for the fun of it.

[Jason]

You wish.

[Al]

Not this one.

[Andy]

So I'm toast.

[Jason]

Yeah, it's this. Why don't you just do your silly little thing, Mike, and I.

[Andy]

Let me submit this into the grown up. Let me. Let me submit this as an actual rule for the next time. Okay? If you go over four, there should be a penalty.

[Al]

I like that.

[Jason]

If you get.

[Mike]

I'm not sure if you want to do that.

[Andy]

You get minus one. All right, round five.

[Al]

So you have four and a half points.

[Andy]

Well, no, next time. All right, I'm aware I made that error. Magna Carta for the win. Round five, Sputnik.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Al]

Oh, actually, real quick, because again, I got. I got some notes Last time. People want to hear the correct answers and the years, so.

[Mike]

Okay, real quick.

[Al]

Magna Carta was 1215, man. Printing press, 1440. Columbus sailed the ocean blue in the year of 1492.

[Jason]

I knew it. Where's my half point?

[Al]

That painting of the Mona Lisa was 1503. Man.

[Mike]

I had that very wrong.

[Al]

All right, round five.

[Andy]

The launch of Sputnik, the Russian satellite. Satellite.

[Jason]

Thank you for telling me what that was, because I did not know.

[Mike]

Number two, it was the first satellite to go to space.

[Andy]

MLK's I had a Dream speech.

[Mike]

Okay, that was a very famous speech. Jason Martin Luther King Jr. For civil rights.

[Jason]

That one.

[Mike]

I am aware.

[Andy]

Number three. The first cell phone was made. Those are those pocket devices. They used to have cords.

[Al]

The first cell phone call was made.

[Andy]

First cell phone call. Thank you. And number four. Sesame Street.

[Mike]

No way.

[Andy]

That is the bagel shop.

[Mike]

No way.

[Jason]

That's gonna be the problem for me. Is the Sesame Street.

[Mike]

No way. How is Sesame street in this list?

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Andy]

No, well, I have my list, but Mike is the one that has to go first.

[Mike]

You're. Well, I'm. I haven't written anything down.

[Andy]

That's fine.

[Mike]

Why don't you just.

[Jason]

I've got three of the four. I feel confident at three of the four, but I don't know where in the world to put Sesame Street.

[Mike]

What?

[Andy]

Feel like That's. I mean, just a.

[Jason]

It feels like it. After everything, it feels like.

[Andy]

I feel like Sesame street has been around longer than we think.

[Jason]

Well, of course. That's the whole. I think that's the trick here of the game. It feels like Sesame street came after all those things for sure, but probably didn't.

[Andy]

But. But then again, cell phone first. Real cell phone. Could have been a long time earlier, too. Yeah, yeah.

[Jason]

The first one is. There's probably hours, for sure. It's the size of a car.

[Mike]

I am struggling here, man. Hold on. I got to figure out the fourth one that I got to put in here.

[Jason]

I just squeezed.

[Andy]

Squeeze some items in between other ones.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Andy]

No, go ahead, Mike.

[Mike]

There's no way.

[Andy]

All right, Mike, you got to answer now, man. What happened first, Mike? I don't know.

[Mike]

I feel like we're.

[Jason]

I'm praying Sesame street was first.

[Mike]

That's what I'm putting.

[Jason]

I put it first.

[Mike]

I put it first because I have no idea what. I feel like I'm in a trap. Okay. I'm going Sesame Street, Sputnik, cell phone, mlk.

[Andy]

Wow. My order is completely different. Jason.

[Jason]

I'm going Sputnik. Mlk, Sesame street cell phone.

[Andy]

I have the same as Jason.

[Jason]

All right. Smart man, Mike.

[Mike]

Zero points.

[Jason]

Zero points.

[Al]

I knew Jason and Andy. Five points.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah.

[Al]

We had Sputnik in 57.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Al]

MLK speech in 63. Sesame street in 69. The first cell phone call. 73 you got.

[Mike]

I felt like it was a trap.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And that, like, the order that made me.

[Andy]

That's the most. Me into third.

[Jason]

That's what.

[Mike]

It's the most logical order that you just read. Like, of course that's it.

[Jason]

But I had written down the decades and the event of the other three spot Nick was the cell phone. But then I was like, where's Sesame Street? So I just jammed it in. Jammed it in. I was like, it can't be lag.

[Mike]

I think Jason won. Yep.

[Al]

Jason ended with 16, Mike with 12, Andy with 10 and a half.

[Jason]

Who won last time?

[Al]

I don't know.

[Andy]

I'll let you know. I think Mike won. I think Mason. Oh, was it you?

[Mike]

Sure, it was me.

[Jason]

I remember me. You remember the wins?

[Mike]

No. History.

[Jason]

We know history.

[Andy]

You probably did, which is. I mean, I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but I would expect you to be the biggest loser here.

[Jason]

Thank you, man.

[Andy]

Because you were like, it has a 2 in it.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Andy]

So it's a bit of a trick,

[Jason]

but I got half point more than you want.

[Mike]

I got tricked there. I tried to out trick the trick. I should have just answered it. For real.

[Andy]

All right, we're gonna take a break. We'll come back with the draft.

[Jason]

Okay. I'll give bad news after the break.

[Sponsor Voice]

[Kiana]

I'm Kiana, and I leveled up my business with Shopify. Once I figured out that Shopify was a thing, I never turned back. I can create a site with my eyes closed. Shopify thinks ahead of us, you know, and it thinks about the customer more than anything. Every day I'm thinking about some other new business, but Shopify is doing it to me because it's so easy to use. It's like, I can't stop. I'm addicted.

[Jason]

Start your free [e-mail]. The Spitballers draft.

[Mike]

Are you leaving the show, Jay?

[Jason]

That would be terrible news. No, I've got better news than that, but it's still bad news for you and I.

[Andy]

What's that?

[Jason]

I tweeted out, if you could only have 100% of this at all times, what would you prefer? Light mode or dark mode? Oh, yeah, because 333 votes in, 83% dark mode.

[Andy]

Yes, because listen, you guys.

[Mike]

Why?

[Jason]

Because there's a bunch of kids out there voting no.

[Andy]

Why? Because it's like, listen, Jason hates the light. Like, he doesn't like it when I turn the lights on. Has he noticed the fact that the other eight employees in the office always have the lights off every morning? Wait, people don't want.

[Jason]

You said it opposite. I hate when you turn lights off. I love the light on.

[Andy]

Yes, he loves the light on. He likes light mode in real life. Irl. Light mode.

[Jason]

Yes.

[Andy]

Everybody else in the office, you notice, we'll just leave the lights off because our screens are already lit. That's the philosophy behind it. You get dark mode at night. You either have your face lit up by all white or you have just letters lit up.

[Mike]

So that episode of Game of Thrones, like the huge fight north of the wall where no one could see nothing. You guys love that. You guys thought that was the best episode of television ever.

[Andy]

One amazing ingenuity on the argument. Spectacular reference to the one time that we didn't like dark mode. I agree.

[Mike]

What are you doing with your TVs.

[Andy]

83% says the whole story. And I have to. We're a two. All three of us own this company. It's crazy. And we have a pretty standard rule. If it's not something of an insane consequence, two thirds wins it.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Andy]

So these two guys. I had to change our whole entire. This is your employee portal, right? This is where you guys submit your days off, of which we've approved 100% because we're really awesome. Now there's another whole part of this website where I keep track of the employees information. We have stats and our data and documents. We talking about a robust site. It was all dark mode when I made it, buddy. Guess what I had to do?

[Mike]

Yeah, you had to fix the whole

[Andy]

stupid thing to light mode for.

[Jason]

Thank you for Grandma and Grandpa over here.

[Andy]

I guarantee you, if you pull grandparents to go say light mode for 100%

[Mike]

of it, they won't know what that means.

[Jason]

That's true.

[Mike]

Our original Fantasy footballers website was originally in dark mode and we had to change it because it wasn't good.

[Andy]

Oh, broadly, it wasn't good.

[Mike]

Yeah, baby. We went to light mode.

[Jason]

I'm pretty sure people could read it.

[Andy]

I'm pretty sure we were a pretty good success with that dark mode. And ever since we changed it, we were really plateauing.

[Mike]

I'm being serious. When things are like, if it's the black screen and the white font, it burns. Like, I can. I can just blink and I can see the entire paragraph.

[Andy]

But that's a you problem.

[Jason]

It is. It's an us problem.

[Andy]

But I mean, like, if you get a Kindle and you're reading a Kindle at night, most people are throwing that onto the inverted mode because it's less eye strain, it's less invasive.

[Jason]

But if you get a book, they print it on light mode pages.

[Andy]

Yeah. You want to know why?

[Jason]

Because it makes sense.

[Andy]

You have to have a light behind you to light it up.

[Jason]

If you. If they could have dark paper and print white text, they would never do that.

[Mike]

No.

[Andy]

It'd be awful ink.

[Jason]

No, no, no.

[Mike]

That's cost of goods.

[Jason]

I'm saying if it costs. If it costs the same.

[Mike]

Haven't we thought about not dying the whole page black? We will save millions.

[Andy]

We got to move on real quick.

[Al]

I'm going to set the record straight. Last time we did, we. We know history.

[Jason]

The record straight.

[Al]

Yeah.

[Jason]

I said I was the one.

[Andy]

Was it Mike?

[Al]

It was a tie between Jason and Mike. We didn't have a tiebreaker. So it ended 8, 8, 6, last.

[Andy]

So really, all you did was highlight. I'm last twice.

[Al]

That is correct.

[Mike]

So doesn't know history.

[Jason]

Well, it's called we know history. It's Mike and I. We know history and which color mode you should use on your computer.

[Andy]

Yeah.

[Mike]

All right, so I'm up for.

[Andy]

Yeah. We are drafting, by the way, build the perfect backyard. You're. You're picking four items for your perfect backyard. I love this because it's going to be very subjective. It's going to be very. Everybody has different things that they think are important. And honestly, different parts of the country probably care about different things more. Like out here, we've talked about some things that are very important, but. Mike, go ahead.

[Mike]

Yes. And we had the question where I was saying, if you have only one or the other, I'm going to go against the pool. But because I will have multiple things, I will be drafting.

[Jason]

Ultimate pool. Of course.

[Mike]

Ultimate pool. I get other stuff.

[Andy]

Yeah, the pool. The pool is.

[Jason]

But it's. It's the most important.

[Andy]

It is the most important here. It is not the way across the United States by any stretch. I mean, most places do not. It's not very common to have a pool. And that's why community pools and country clubs and stuff are more. Or ymca, whatever. You go. You Public pools. But I get it. So the pool number one pick. It makes sense. Jason, you are up.

[Jason]

The pool is a fantastic.

[Mike]

Ultimate, ultimate pool.

[Jason]

Ultimate pool. Yeah. Because honestly, pools aren't all the same. A play pool versus a play. Like a diving pool with a grotto and a waterfall. Like, come on.

[Andy]

We're drafting all kinds of pools.

[Jason]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Mike]

Just think, like, you know that cool stuff you like in a pool. It's in. You got it in the ultimate pool.

[Andy]

Ultimate pool.

[Mike]

That's what I drafted.

[Jason]

That's not a thing. You don't go.

[Andy]

Sir, would you like to order a pool or you're more in the mood for an ultimate pool.

[Mike]

When you go to Jack in the Box, do you order a cheeseburger or do you want to get an ultimate cheeseburger?

[Andy]

Or you get a draft kit? Or.

[Mike]

Or an ultimate draft kit.

[Jason]

Yeah. No ultimate pool stands. I like that. Obviously, earlier you brought up the fact that you can't use it half the year.

[Mike]

Right.

[Jason]

So I will get something that I actually use far more than my pool.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Jason]

It is an ultimate hot tub.

[Mike]

I am in at. Son of a gun old man Mike.

[Jason]

Yeah. Hot tub is so much more valuable. I have a pool and a hot tub attached, and I don't ever go in the pool. I go in hot tubs and year round because I don't even if it's hot.

[Mike]

Oh, I don't care.

[Jason]

I don't need it.

[Mike]

I'll be hotter.

[Jason]

I still have the jets on my cool water.

[Andy]

I was going to take hot tub.

[Mike]

Oh, man.

[Andy]

But I didn't think. I hadn't even crossed my mind to take the ultimate hot tub.

[Jason]

Yeah, me either. Until hearing about all these ultimate draftkids.

[Andy]

I'm not gonna stoop to those levels. But I will say my first pick is gonna be the ultimate grill.

[Mike]

Oh, the ultimate.

[Jason]

The ultimate grill. It's got a flat top. It's got gas, it's plumbed. This ain't no propane tank.

[Andy]

It has got it all, boys. My backyard is.

[Jason]

What's the ultimate backyard?

[Andy]

I've got the ultimate grill, obviously. And here we are.

[Jason]

We've got another, like, everything has to be the ultimate. Now, I know I'm looking at things on my list maybe. Only I want you to know it's like a really good version.

[Andy]

It's not the bad version. It's not the cheap version of it.

[Jason]

It's the ultimate.

[Andy]

Okay. I'm going to follow up the ultimate grill with something that we use so much, and I think if I use it so much in Arizona and love it so much, most parts of the country are going to use it even more. I'm going to take the ultimate fire pit.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah.

[Andy]

And this is no run of the mill.

[Mike]

Oh, no. It's just a top cheer.

[Andy]

This is the kind that's got the real good fire in it. And the chairs are so comfortable. And my goodness, do they have cup holders? The ultimate fire pit.

[Mike]

You won't even believe how many cup holders we.

[Andy]

We are going hardcore ultimate here.

[Jason]

All right, I'm.

[Andy]

I feel good with this. I had third and fourth pick. I feel good.

[Jason]

Yeah, it's. It is all right. But you really left me something great. Because in the ultimate version of this, the fences are high, the LEDs are bright, and I've got multiple sports I can do on my ultimate sport court.

[Mike]

Yeah. Okay. That's backyard. I mean, great pick.

[Jason]

If I had to pick only one, it would have been basketball. Even though I love pickleball more. But you're the kids. I can do all of them.

[Mike]

I mean, it's just a regular sport.

[Jason]

No, it's an ultimate sports court.

[Andy]

Can't do sandbox volleyball on it.

[Jason]

No, I can't do it, but I

[Andy]

can do regular volleyball. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

[Jason]

Bust up Them knees.

[Andy]

All right, it's back to Mike, and we are really building some ultimate backyard.

[Jason]

I like.

[Andy]

He already put the ultimate prefix in for the rest of our picks in the.

[Mike]

That's very presumptive of you.

[Jason]

I mean, probably right.

[Andy]

We might draft the better than ultimate items.

[Mike]

Ultimitter.

[Andy]

Yeah. Mike, you have a. You have the ultimate pool so far.

[Mike]

I got the pool.

[Andy]

Jason's got a hot tub in a sport court. I've got a grill and a fire pit if I'm in.

[Mike]

The only thing that's going to make a Arizona night in the ultimate pool better is I'm watching a movie on my ultimate outdoor projector. Movie setup. I don't know what you want to call it.

[Andy]

So you're watching a movie, an outdoor movie or sports. So you're just invasive to the neighbors, Just blasting the.

[Mike]

Well, I mean, it's an ultimate backyard. It's pretty big.

[Andy]

So is that. Technically, you get the screen and the projector, then, yeah, you get a double because ultimate.

[Mike]

Yes, of course we draft a screen. No, that's ridiculous.

[Andy]

You do have two books in a row.

[Mike]

And then the only thing that's going to get me out. Oh, wait, hold on, hold on, hold on. No, Whatever. Screw it. The only thing that's getting me out of the pool is to take a quick trip to my ultimate bar. My ultimate tiki bar, ladies and gentlemen.

[Jason]

Ultimate tiki bar is nice.

[Mike]

Well, it's got to be theme.

[Jason]

Well, it's only top shelf. Yeah. There's no plastic bottles.

[Mike]

Imagine having a bar outdoor when you could have a tiki bar.

[Andy]

Oh, yeah.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Andy]

You want.

[Mike]

I mean, there. What? There's torches.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Andy]

There's dole whip.

[Jason]

I don't know, man. Disney.

[Andy]

Disney.

[Jason]

Disney ruined the tiki bar for me. Just.

[Mike]

What do you mean? Because they. You can't do it. That's not the tiki bar.

[Jason]

You say the tiki bar now. Now that's in my head, and I want to kill myself.

[Mike]

You haven't been to enough good tiki bars, then.

[Jason]

I haven't been. I've. I've been to the tiki bars.

[Andy]

Have you been to a lot?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Andy]

Oh, okay.

[Mike]

Oh, tiki theme bars are everywhere. It's always a good time. It's. It's especially good if you want to get all the diseases of your friends, because you're like, right? You're like, give us this. And they bring the bowl out in four straws, and you're like, kiss each other.

[Jason]

Let me watch. All right, I'm up. I'm Going, look, this has been the.

[Andy]

You get to skip a pick.

[Jason]

No, no, this is. This is too good. I can't believe it's left here for me. I've got my sports court, which takes care of volleyball. Takes care of basketball.

[Andy]

You big volleyball guy, you. Bet you play a lot of volleyball, Jay?

[Jason]

My kids might.

[Andy]

Your kids might.

[Jason]

My kids might.

[Andy]

They won't.

[Jason]

Good resale value, though. So, you know.

[Andy]

Okay.

[Mike]

Just so you know, Ultimate Pool. We're playing volleyball.

[Jason]

Well, sure. I mean, just.

[Andy]

If you had taken Ultimate Sandbox, you could have played.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Jason]

I don't know if there's an ultimate version of this, which is kind of sad. It's just having one is its own nice version. It's a nice. But I'll take the ultimate version. Don't get me wrong. I'm going to take the ultimate putting green

[Andy]

twice.

[Jason]

Taking my next pick, practice the putting, which, you know, cuts the strokes off

[Andy]

how often you use yours. You've had one for a while.

[Mike]

How's your putting game, Jay?

[Jason]

My putting game is getting better. It's got room for improvement. I do have a putting green in my backyard, and I have never once used it. Not one single time.

[Mike]

Well, it's because you have a regular.

[Jason]

So you're.

[Mike]

If you had an ultimate.

[Jason]

Ultimate honest. Okay, so actually, you're not. You're genuinely not wrong. The reason I don't use it is because it is not ultimate enough. It's. It's flat astrotopher, and I feel like it's not going to. It's not going to play like a course. It's just like, if it was like an ultimate, like, you know, you might

[Andy]

want to give it a run. Yeah, maybe on my back. You've taken both of my picks, and I don't like you. My first pick here is going to be one of the best picks, guys.

[Mike]

Oh, wow.

[Andy]

And it was on the tip of my tongue until I kind of lost it. It's the ultimate sauna. Oh, into my backyard.

[Jason]

Yes.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Jason]

I am all about that.

[Andy]

Which in some ways, just walking outdoors in Arizona is sort of the ultimate sauna.

[Jason]

It's a dry sauna. So does yours have some steam? Then you can throw water on the rock?

[Andy]

Yeah, of course. It's the ultimate.

[Mike]

Wait, did you just say. Is yours a dry. So you can throw water on the rock?

[Jason]

No, I'm saying Arizona is a dry sauna. You walk outside, you're in a dry sauna. So in his sauna, he can throw water on the rocks. Have it be like a steam room. Now it's the ultimate version.

[Andy]

It is. It is a great.

[Mike]

But you're very boxed off from the. What's going on out there.

[Andy]

Yeah. I mean, because you want to relax.

[Jason]

Honestly, you're. You're not really. I mean, a lot of the ultimate saunas are glass. You can see everything.

[Al]

You can see.

[Andy]

And they can see you sweating your buns off. My final pick, because I can't have a putting green, which I really wanted, and Jason made a great pick with that one. I'm going to give it up to the kids because frankly, there's just nothing more. You know, normally when you buy kids something, it's popular, it gets used and then it's forgotten. That's like the 95% of what you buy. Children. It's a waste of your money. The one item that I've ever bought my kids that has been used for all of eternity, no matter how old they've gotten. And obviously in my backyard, all of the ultimate one. It's the ultimate trampoline. Yeah. I have to give it up. We can get on it as adults and have a good time, but for the kids, they just don't get bored of the trampoline. So I'm going ultimate. It bounces higher even when there's probably a basketball hoop in it.

[Jason]

When they're older, like when my kids became teenagers, it just became the place to go sit with friends. They would just go out, sit on the trampoline because it's got the net around them. Feels like they're like secluded version of the treehouse. Yeah. Basically.

[Mike]

Have you guys. So ultimate, though, I don't even know what to call it other than the ultimate trampoline. But have you been on a true, like a higher level gymnast type of trampoline? So we have this.

[Andy]

I've seen them.

[Mike]

We haven't. Well, I was. We have an indoor play place here in Arizona called ktr. Oh.

[Andy]

That's called the ankle breaker.

[Mike]

And I, you know, I grew up with a trampoline. I'm a regular. I know what they do. Holy crap. No, no, no, no. Your outdoor trampoline does not get anywhere close to this. This trampoline, you can. Like an outdoor one. You're like, if I'm jumping up six feet, you're like, I'm very flying.

[Jason]

Yes.

[Mike]

Not on this thing. These trampolines, you're like, you can. You watch the kids and they're going like, they're touching the roof. They're touching the, like the 20 foot roof or something.

[Andy]

You know, they have A full time nurse.

[Mike]

Yeah, I would imagine because of the amount.

[Jason]

I didn't know that.

[Andy]

But broken bones and ankles, that makes 100% sense.

[Jason]

Very grateful to hear that.

[Andy]

Oh, yeah, yeah. You sign away a lot when you. You say you want the ultimate trampoline experiments.

[Mike]

You signed the ultimate waiver.

[Andy]

So I got the grill, fire pit, sauna, and trampoline. Jason, you have the ultimate hot tub, sport court, putting green, and you have another pick.

[Jason]

I thought about a couple of things. I currently have like chicken coop or a vegetable garden. And I realize I don't use. Those aren't very. And they are not. There's no ultimate. No ultimate vegetable garden. Maybe you can eat for a day, once a year. These guards. I don't understand how people can feed themselves from.

[Andy]

You need a field.

[Jason]

I do apparently need a field instead. We host a lot of parties, we have a lot of events, and usually there's a ton of people. It's like fun time. So you can't have as much fun in your backyard if you don't have the ultimate outdoor speakers.

[Mike]

Oh, that's a good one. That's what turns it into a party. That's a good one.

[Jason]

You know what I mean? It's like, oh, what are you gonna play on a sport court with no music in the background?

[Andy]

That's a good pick. J. I thought you were going to say the ultimate stacking chairs because you had a lot of people coming over.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Andy]

But you went sound.

[Jason]

They stacked so high. You go 12 high.

[Andy]

Mike, you have the pool, the backyard theater, the tiki bar, and you're going to wrap it up with.

[Mike]

Oh, man, I thought trampoline was going to make it bad.

[Andy]

Oh, was that going to be on your list?

[Mike]

It was.

[Jason]

Can I interest you in a zipline?

[Mike]

I do. The zip line is very, very high.

[Jason]

I didn't take it because I didn't have the pool. Am I going to zip line in my hot tub?

[Mike]

I think you're only here for the zip line.

[Andy]

So you have to finish the zip line. You have to be into the pool.

[Jason]

Of course. Otherwise it's a. It's not ultimate.

[Mike]

No, that's true.

[Andy]

Mike is struggling.

[Mike]

It's the best. It's the best of what I can.

[Andy]

But now it's just.

[Mike]

You just.

[Andy]

You're just taking Jason's thing.

[Jason]

Yeah, man. Have an idea for yourself.

[Mike]

Fine. No, I'm gonna take him.

[Jason]

I'm taking the ultimate zip. Yeah, I'm coming.

[Andy]

I mean, either of you guys ever had to hang a zip line up? What?

[Jason]

No. No, you pay people.

[Mike]

I'm not an engineer, bro.

[Andy]

I've done this. It's not easy.

[Jason]

Yeah, of course. That's why I wouldn't do it.

[Andy]

Yeah, it was really difficult. I had to buy all sorts of tools.

[Mike]

I would hang up the world's floppiest zip line.

[Jason]

Yeah, I was gonna say, if I hung up a zipline, one, it wouldn't work. Two.

[Mike]

Limit. Two.

[Jason]

Three.

[Mike]

Could prolong.

[Jason]

I mean, if it works, it's a way bigger problem.

[Andy]

I bet Al has. Al, you've probably done that before.

[Al]

I have not.

[Jason]

Oh, okay. I got a job for you then.

[Al]

I didn't know people had their own zip lines.

[Andy]

Yeah, you can just go buy them online.

[Mike]

Well, when you have an ultimate pool,

[Andy]

all right, yeah, you just go buy them. And then you got to buy, like, seven different tools so that you can, like, tighten it tight enough.

[Al]

As long as you have that professionally installed. I'll come over. Sounds like a good time.

[Andy]

All right, that'll do it. Ultimate backyard. Man, did we ever.

[Jason]

What did we learn today?

[Andy]

What'd you learn? You guys learned something about Dark Mode? I learned that maybe a little Dark Mode lesson. I learned that my employees really like it.

[Jason]

Mike and I.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Jason]

No history.

[Mike]

Yes, Mike.

[Jason]

No history.

[Andy]

What'd you learn, Mike? Anything.

[Mike]

Go with your gut. Don't let Sesame street throw you astray.

[Andy]

Oh, you're still recording.

[Mike]

It was a trick question, and I fell for it.

[Andy]

Thank you for joining us. We'll be back with another episode next week of the Spitballers. Take care.

[Mike]

Goodbye.

[Jason]

Thanks for listening to the Spitballers podcast to see what other nonsense the guys are up to. Check out Spitballers pod dot com.

All new drinks are now at McDonald's, like the strawberry Watermelon Refresher and the Sprite Berry Blast topped with cold foam.

[Jason]

Who knew ice cold drinks could be so fire? Try them all now at McDonald's. Refreshers contain caffeine.
