Podcast Narrator
Primalkitchen.Com. 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
Jason. We needed a classic. Cause Jason's ruining the.
Mike
Show. I let this one.
Andy
Go. No, no. Mute buttons. Everyone out there needs to know it was all Jason's fault. My scat last week. No one Oliver know. It was actually. It was probably gonna be pretty good. Did you ever listen to it.
Matt
Al? I did. Yeah. You could still hear it bleed through the other mics. That's where I left.
Mike
It. Some people heard it, some people.
Matt
Got a little taste of it, but it.
Andy
Was. I mean, that was probably the best.
Matt
Ever. It was a.
Mike
Banger. It was definitely the best one ever as far as how it barely came through, but. Mike, thanks for bringing us.
Jason
Back. You're.
Andy
Welcome. Welcome back one and all. Is this really episode three two one? It is Blast off. Three two, one. Would you rather man of the people and we are drafting fictional devices we wish were real. So that'll be fun. We already eliminated the Elder Wand, Jason. It must be a device. I know you wanted to draft Harry.
Mike
Potter. I really wanted the invisibility.
Andy
Cloak. Maybe one day we'll do, like, magical things that we wish were.
Mike
Real. Yeah, I was surprised. Like, I mean, I guess it is inherently like a device. Seems mechanical, electronical. But I didn't think it had to be. And then I looked up the definition of.
Jason
Device.
Mike
Yeah. Which Must be mechanical or.
Andy
Electronical. We all learn. We all learn stuff. Electronic. Is that what he.
Mike
Said? He doubled down on.
Andy
It. Did he say.
Matt
Electronical?
Andy
Electronical. That is such a great.
Jason
Word. We all know what it.
Andy
Means. Yeah, Just combine some things. That's fine. But we're happy to be with you once again. You can follow the show over on X at Spirit. Please subscribe, review the.
Jason
Show. That's a great band.
Andy
Name. Electronical. Yeah, that is not.
Jason
Bad. Yeah, it's my new.
Andy
Edm. What type of parts would one put into an electronical device? I mean, you know, all of the.
Mike
Parts. Yeah, well, mostly metal. Mostly metal parts, for.
Andy
Sure. All right, let's kick it.
Podcast Narrator
Off. Would you.
Andy
Rather. Well, our first would you rather question comes in from Buck over on Patreon. Would you rather be immune to blunt force trauma or piercing injuries? This is not something I've examined before. Haven't really given it consideration. So piercing injuries, getting hit with a bat, bullets.
Jason
Arrows. Is a spears. Is a bullet considered a.
Andy
Piercing? Yeah, yeah, for.
Mike
Sure. I get what you're saying because.
Andy
It'S not like you're thinking pierce being a point. Yeah, but they have.
Mike
Points. Yeah, they do. They're kind of rounded.
Andy
Points. They're like miniature flying metal.
Mike
Spears. They're definitely made to.
Andy
Pierce. I imagine that the spirit of the question is like, be immune to punches and.
Jason
Bats. Oh, I get that. But I don't care what the spirit of. I have just questions now. Okay, let's say I throw. So I throw a spear at you. It's got a tip. It's got a, you know, a sharp thing on it, Right. It's piercing. I throw a spear, I take that off. It's just the wood.
Andy
Stick.
Jason
Right. That's a blunt.
Mike
Force. That's.
Andy
Fine. Depends if it pierces you. I mean, really? I think it does. I.
Mike
Mean. No, it does. Andy's actually right. It completely just depends. Would it break the skin if it breaks the skin? It was a piercing.
Jason
Object. But you can get hit if it's hard by blunt force that you break the.
Mike
Skin.
Andy
Yes. If it breaks the skin, it can't go.
Jason
In. That's the way this.
Andy
Works. Blunt force trauma. You're immune to car accidents.
Jason
Right?
Matt
Some. As long as you don't get.
Andy
Impaled. Oh, there's going to be a little impaling on.
Mike
There. Yeah, that's what I.
Jason
Mean. Well, and the glass, like, if there's any.
Andy
Shocks. Can we expand piercing injuries to. So is that impalements.
Matt
Too? Yeah, anything that leaves like a puncture wound?
Andy
Yes. Blow darts.
Jason
Then. That were real. Trouble is a.
Matt
Cannonball.
Mike
Ooh. Good question.
Jason
Mike. Because if you hit someone in a cannonball back at the Civil War, that thing went white right.
Andy
Through. Yeah, yeah. But that's not.
Jason
Piercing. It's.
Mike
Not. So.
Jason
Why. I thought. But it would puncture the.
Mike
Skin. It definitely punctures the.
Jason
Skin. It takes the organs out.
Andy
Too. It takes it all out. I mean, I don't think a bowling. Bowling ball. I don't think a cannonball is piercing, man. Al shaking his.
Matt
Head. That's not a.
Andy
Piercing. No, no. It has to have. I mean, it has to have some, like, a point to it. It can't just be so strong.
Jason
That. What's the.
Andy
Point? It's blunt. If it's blunt, if it's in the blunt area. If it's sharp, if it's in the piercing.
Mike
Area. All right, so which one are you more afraid of in your current.
Andy
Life? Yeah, I was gonna say which is most likely. I'm more afraid of what will kill.
Mike
Me.
Andy
Yes. So I would imagine that blunt force trauma I'm more afraid of than piercing.
Mike
Injuries. No, wait.
Andy
Wait.
Mike
You. I'm so confused because we were on the track together and then you jumped.
Andy
Off. I.
Mike
Did. The roller coaster. Yeah. Because you're afraid of what's going to kill.
Andy
You. Yeah. Blunt force.
Mike
Trauma. No, the piercing is going to kill you more than the blunt force.
Andy
Trauma. What am I more exposed to on a regular basis? I'm more likely to fall and hit my head or get in a car accident that crushes my body. Blunt force trauma. Than I am to be.
Mike
Shot. Well, I would agree that the likelihood. The frequency. The frequency of a blunt force trauma is greater than the frequency of a piercing. This is what I feel like. The piercing is gonna kill you. You're gonna walk away from the.
Jason
Blunt force thing of the past.
Andy
Boys. What.
Jason
Is? Toe.
Andy
Stubs. Oh, toe.
Jason
Stubs. Oh.
Mike
Man. Blunt.
Jason
First. Jason and I were on a. Oh, did you guys. We were out of town. No, he was saying we were out of town. So I'm. Look, I'm in a hotel room, so.
Andy
Stop. It's a new.
Jason
Land.
Andy
Yeah. It's a new.
Jason
Map. I'm not mapped out. I don't know what's going on here. Oh.
Mike
Man. Bad.
Jason
One. I get immediate. Immediate bruise. Like, I could just watch my toe, and it's, like, just wilting in front of your face. The color just instantly went in, man. It.
Andy
Was. There's nothing devastating more humorous in my head than when someone's alone and hurting themselves. Something about them having to deal with that. I saw a woman. There was a video the other day where she tripped in her driveway. She took a tumble, and she's on audio on a nest cam, and she just sprawls out like a starfish afterwards. And she's like, oh. She's like, world, just run me over. It was so funny. It was so funny. But, yeah, I'm more likely to look, I'm not going to fall and hit my head as I get older. I'm not going to break my hip when I hit the.
Mike
Ground. I mean, yes, you're going to fall and hit your head. It's just not going to. You're immune to.
Andy
It.
Mike
Right. So that doesn't mean you can't.
Andy
Fall. It's like it's. Nothing happened, though. I mean, you might as well. It's like I'm standing up so.
Jason
I can jump out of an.
Mike
Airplane. Ooh, I don't know.
Jason
Man. And as long. As long as I don't hit. If, like, if I.
Andy
Hit. You go into a.
Jason
Tree. If I hit the concrete, you're fine. I'm totally cool. But if I happen to fall into, like, oh, some branches, some sharp things. Yeah. Some pointy branches, I got a big.
Mike
Problem. Yeah. What about gravel? Gravel would be a real.
Jason
Problem. Yeah. What's the ruling on.
Mike
Gravel? If you're falling into gravel, you're piercing all over.
Andy
Dead. But, dude, jump in the.
Jason
Ocean. Oh.
Andy
Yeah. Tons of skydives into the ocean, you're.
Mike
Fine. Yeah. You can't.
Andy
Drown. Unless you land on a.
Jason
Swordfish. A swordfish was breaching at the exact same.
Mike
Moment. What are the chances? I think if you jumped out of a plane into the middle of the ocean, your blunt force trauma, which would kill you.
Andy
Normally.
Mike
Yeah. You'll still.
Jason
Die.
Mike
Really? Yeah. From being in the middle of the.
Jason
Ocean. Oh, well, clearly it's planned out to be a super stunt.
Mike
Jason. So you got boats.
Jason
Nearby. I'm not just booking a flight to London and feeling see you later. Check this.
Andy
Out. Now, I was trying to think if there's an advantage to, like, if you can't be shot. Like, is that, like, a huge advantage for, like, being a superhero, or is it more of an advantage? The blunt force trump? Like, if I could just walk through the worst neighborhood in the world, but people could just come beat me up with a.
Mike
Bat. I still. I still think the danger is being pierced. Like, if you got in a car.
Matt
Accident.
Mike
Right. If you got in a car accident and nothing pierced you, like, Today without these.
Jason
Superpowers.
Mike
Right. You're probably not that it's a. But you're probably. You're going to be injured, you know, but you're probably.
Andy
Okay. Most people die from.
Jason
Like. Yeah, it's like you hit your head on the wheel, which we have airbags now, but you can hit your head on the side.
Andy
Window.
Jason
Yeah. I think in.
Andy
The. People are getting decapitated in all these.
Mike
Accidents. I think they're getting crushed and pieces of car are coming into.
Andy
Them. If I have. If I am. If I'm packing, I've got weapons and I can't be pierced by bullets. That's a good place to.
Jason
Be.
Andy
Yeah. Because I can open fire on anybody. They can't open fire on me.
Mike
Now. I like this creative.
Andy
Thinking. Right. So I could be like a.
Jason
Cool superhero that where does it shoot.
Mike
And kills everybody, the bad guys. You could be Deadpool. That this is literally.
Jason
His. No, because Deadpool just.
Mike
Regenerates. Well, sure, but I'm saying he's immune to it. And he.
Jason
Shoots. He's not immune.
Mike
Though. He is.
Andy
Immune. Don't fight with Mike.
Mike
Man. What do you mean he's not. What is the definition of.
Jason
Immune? Immune. Is it like it would.
Andy
Bounce? Does he feel.
Jason
Pain? No, he doesn't feel pain, but like he can.
Andy
Have. That's pretty close to immune.
Jason
Mike. But you can get your limbs removed. They don't grow back. Oh, they do grow back. That's not immunity. I mean, that is not.
Mike
Immunity. That is.
Andy
Immunity. You.
Mike
Can'T. You.
Jason
Cannot. Immune is.
Andy
Superman.
Jason
Papa. Josh, the bullet comes in. The bullet comes into his eyeball. It crushes.
Mike
Him. That's not what immunity is. Mike is.
Jason
100%. Thank you.
Andy
Josh. You're not. If your arm could be chopped off and it takes weeks to grow back, that's not.
Jason
Immunity. Thank.
Andy
You. That's a good.
Jason
Point. And in Deadpool 2, he gets a little.
Andy
Baby. It's invincibility. If you want to say you're.
Mike
Invincible. Protection or exemption from something like Deadpool has protection from. It's just protection. It's not the way that you would define immunity. But yeah, he's immune to the.
Jason
Way that the word defines immunity is. It doesn't.
Andy
Exactly. You should be using.
Jason
Invincible.
Andy
Yes. Invincible means that you're not going to.
Mike
Die. I think we're exact opposites. Invincible is what Mike's saying Superman is. Superman is invincible. He is 100% invincible. Nothing.
Andy
Can. I've always defined invincible as living like you're invincible from.
Mike
Death. I think we don't know the meaning of.
Andy
Words. I think we know invincible means too powerful to be defeated or.
Jason
Overcome. If you get shot and the bullet goes into your body, but it's not gonna kill you, but it still damages your body for a short period of time, you are not immune. Immune is like you.
Mike
Can. You're certainly not.
Jason
Invincible. Correct. Yeah, you're not invincible either. But immune, you know, like you can. You can drink the poison.
Andy
And. Are you saying you think immune is more powerful than.
Jason
Vincibility? No, I know invincibility.
Mike
Is. Invincibility is the top tier.
Andy
One. Yes.
Mike
Okay. That's what Mike is saying. Like, what's the difference.
Andy
Between. So, yeah, the blunt force or the piercing? Which one you.
Jason
Want? I'm.
Andy
Going. I'm going.
Jason
To. I'm going blunt.
Mike
Force. I'm going.
Andy
Piercing. Chris from the website. Would you rather suddenly become a contagious infectious.
Matt
Condition? Which would you.
Andy
Rather. Okay, that makes way more.
Mike
Sense. We're back to question on.
Jason
Immunity.
Andy
Which. Which would you rather suddenly.
Jason
Wait. Okay.
Mike
Okay. Which would you.
Andy
Rather. Read it.
Mike
Properly. Which would you rather suddenly become a contagious.
Matt
Infectious. No, no, no. Which would you rather suddenly become a contagious infectious.
Jason
Condition?
Mike
Yep. That's a terrible sentence. That's what you just read. And you read it so confidently and.
Andy
Like. It is a bad.
Jason
Sentence. Do it.
Mike
Again. Because I still didn't know you.
Andy
Could have said, which of these would.
Matt
You rather talk to, Chris? But it says, which would you rather suddenly become a contagious infectious.
Andy
Condition? It's color.
Matt
Blindness. Color blindness or d to say.
Jason
Like, which of the following or which of you have to let people know there's something coming.
Andy
Up? Or would you rather. Color blindness or dyslexia become a contagious infectious condition, so you would occasionally acquire it just like the common cold, and it would last seven to ten days. Okay, so dyslexia or colorblindness. The premise of this question is fantastic. The wording terrible and the options subpar. Like, we could have had some really more severe things that become contagious. But colorblind or dyslexia, you can.
Jason
Catch them for about seven to 10.
Andy
Days. Someone tell me what dyslexia really.
Mike
Is. Dyslexia means that you scramble upwards or letters. So when you're reading, you might read the second word before the first or within words, certain.
Jason
Letters. It becomes very.
Andy
Challenging. Challenges. Like reading.
Mike
Challenges. Yes. You basically can't see the world of color. Or you are a poor reader and I don't do reading. So this is you Know what.
Andy
Does? Not according to.
Jason
Mike. This is a lie. This is. This is all a.
Andy
Trick. Oh.
Jason
No. This is a. Mike, Mr. Jason. I go hiking in the.
Mike
Mornings. I'm getting.
Jason
Exposed. We were just. I just mentioned the trip. I didn't even know this was going to come up. We're on the aeroplane and I'm listening to some music. I'm vibing out. I look over. My compadre over here has pulled out a book and I'm like, oh, that's. That's new. That's like. I wonder what he's reading. And it seems to be some sort of a.
Mike
Fantasy. It's Mistborn. It's like.
Andy
Yeah. Oh, my gosh. I just assumed it was some health book. So he's just reading real.
Jason
Books? No, he is.
Andy
Reading. He's a.
Jason
Reader. He is reading fiction. Strictly for.
Andy
Pleasure. Tell him the big part. Tell him the special.
Jason
Part. The book comes out and apparently the light wasn't enough for Jason, so he pulls out the little horseshoe book.
Andy
Light. Those are nice. Really nice around the neck with the.
Jason
Dual. I'm just saying the charade is.
Mike
Up. All right, well, hold on. If we're getting exposed here. I was at. I was at a cabin yesterday. I'm out in the morning reading out by the.
Matt
Campfire. I was gonna bring that up if you.
Mike
Didn'T. I took a bubble bath and I'm reading in the bathtub yesterday. I'm reading all the.
Matt
Time. I was literally asking the group that was with us for bookmark recommendations.
Jason
If we had any bookmarks. We.
Mike
Really. Dang.
Jason
It. Hold.
Andy
On. A piece of paper, man. It'd be.
Jason
Fine. I want to confirm what I just heard. Not a book.
Mike
Recommendation. No.
Andy
Correct. A book.
Jason
Top. A.
Matt
Bookmark. We saw him dog ear the corner of his pages and we were giving him a hard time and asked him if he'd ever heard of bookmarks. But then it went down the road of. He was on Amazon looking for. Of course, but he wanted the.
Jason
Best. The best book you could go buy a.
Mike
Bookmark. I wanted something special. I wanted the best.
Andy
Bookmark. He's into books now. Mike.
Jason
Listen. So what's the best? That feels like a.
Andy
Draft. When the world. When a person. We'll call him Jason, spends his 20s and.
Jason
30S.
Andy
Yeah. In a public outcry against hiking, reading, mornings, all of these.
Mike
Things. Health, reality.
Andy
Food. All of the above. And it all at 40, whatever turns.
Jason
To. And like, you still think you're that person. Not realizing that you're.
Mike
Like.
Andy
Yeah. You said you don't I'm not a reader. It's your.
Mike
Bit. That's your fictional character.
Jason
Yeah. Also, sorry, what's. What is wrong? What does the world find so wrong with just bending the corner of a.
Mike
Page? What's wrong with this? I mean, those guys gave me a really hard.
Andy
Time. It's not the end of the world, man. But also, you could rip off the corner of any piece of paper and use it as a.
Mike
Bookmark. I'm not looking to like, personally, I'm not going to ebay this book when I'm done with it, you know, or take it to a bookstore and sell it. Like, I don't care if the do people.
Jason
Ask. And like, you got it up for sale on ebay. Like, was this book dog.
Andy
Eared? How many dog ears in a book do you want is the question? Because those will. They'll start to appear when you're closing the book. You'll start to see like.
Jason
20. And then that book's like, I am a well read.
Mike
Book. Yeah. You want a weathered, you know, used book. I want a couple of pages that were.
Andy
Clearly. A bookmark is a coffee stain.
Mike
Whether it's from tears or a.
Jason
Bath.
Andy
Right. All bookmarks, no matter which you find on the Internet and how much they cost, will all be some thin piece of material between the pages you're.
Mike
Reading. Not entirely.
Jason
True. Thickest.
Mike
Bookmark. There are some bookmarks that attach to the book itself and then hold the.
Andy
Page. The little leather thing. Yeah.
Mike
Okay. But what we concluded was, why don't all books come with the ribbon that, like, the Bible has, like, just build in the.
Jason
Ribbon. Oh, that's cost. Yeah.
Mike
That'S. It wasn't. Cost him a penny per book. I mean, shell out, charge me five extra.
Jason
Pennies. Do you not remember the story of, like, when the airlines, like, we removed an olive from our salads and we've just saved hundreds of thousands of.
Andy
Dollars. We're not putting these. And the ribbons wouldn't be up to.
Jason
Snub. But hold on, hold on, hold on. These penny ribbons, Jeremy. Mr. Attacking our new. Our friend over here who's bettering his life reading. And you're like, you're not doing it right. What is going on.
Andy
Here?
Matt
Why? I don't think I attacked him. It was a group.
Jason
Effort. Yeah, well, what.
Matt
More. It was more of just a noticing that he dog eared it. And then, then it became the group of readers of defacing a nice.
Mike
Book. It was a defacing. Why are you defacing your book? Made me feel really.
Jason
Bad. Take that spine.
Andy
Yeah. I mean, I feel like I'd rather dog ear like, a paperback than a hardcover. Was it.
Matt
Hardcover? It was a hard.
Andy
Cover. Yeah, I wouldn't want to.
Jason
Dog. Okay, a hardcover. Not coming with the ribbon. Now we can talk.
Matt
Yes.
Jason
Yes. Now we can talk. A hardback should come with a.
Andy
Ribbon. A hardware should come with a ribbon. Or optional ribbon. You should be able to click. Yeah, like. And pick your.
Mike
Color. Does it have a jacket on it? Yeah, that's your.
Jason
Bookmark. Oh, those are too.
Andy
Thick. You didn't take the jacket.
Jason
Off. Take that dust cover. Throw that thing.
Andy
In. You didn't take that thing off. I have that thing in the old. The trash.
Mike
Bin. Okay, I will. I'm gonna deface the heck out of.
Andy
It. Plus, you'll notice that when you take the dust cover off, it'll look much nicer on your shelf, which you have to be building.
Mike
Now. Yeah, I know. The library is in.
Jason
Permanent. What are we doing with these dust covers? They're so obnoxious. They look. The COVID of the book looks so much.
Andy
Better. It.
Jason
Sails. It's plastic on the.
Mike
Couch. Save the money on the dust.
Jason
Cover. Put a ribbon.
Andy
In. There's no place to put the bio of the author without a dust.
Jason
Cover. Oh, you want a page in the.
Andy
Book. You can't do.
Mike
That. Where do we write? Where do we write.
Jason
Words? No, Josh, it's not the.
Andy
Book. It is, but it's not the book, my.
Jason
Friend. So do you leave it on while you're.
Mike
Reading?
Andy
Yeah. And then you move the inner cover to be where you're.
Mike
Stupid. That's the COVID into the page that you finished. I've seen that. And.
Andy
That'S. You're.
Mike
Fired. It's fine. But when you've got a. This book is pretty thick, so if you get in the middle.
Jason
It'S. Yeah.
Matt
Yeah. That.
Jason
Won'T. Stress doesn't.
Andy
Work. Yeah. This discussion is spectacular. I'd rather be colorblind for seven to 10 days, by the way. I'd rather be ice cream. I can live without colors for a little.
Mike
While. Oh, I'd rather be.
Andy
Dyslexic. But what about your.
Mike
Books? I can put on Audible for a week. Okay, I'll.
Andy
Listen. Good job, guys. This has been something special. We'll take a break. We'll come back with man of the.
Mike

Andy
Purchase. Before we jump into man of the people, I'm just thinking about this like Jason, you know, everybody's midlife crisis is different. You know, my science teacher in grade school, his was a Mazda Miata. You know, I'm just, I don't know what man I'm going to be in a couple of years is the real thing. That's the Point I'm bringing up because I'm already entering that.
Mike
Phase. I'm like, I'm coming out of.
Andy
It. You're coming out of it. I'm going right in. He said. Jason said 41 was his toughest.
Mike
Year. Yeah.
Andy
41. 41. I just turned 41 so far. It.
Mike
Sucked.
Jason
Yeah. Sorry. Because you're like, you came face to face with the demons, but now you're changing it. I doubt.
Mike
It. I think I.
Andy
Just. Is it.
Mike
Mortality? I think it.
Jason
Just. I felt old.
Andy
Yeah.
Mike
Yeah. And fat and.
Jason
Broken. And now you're working on it.
Mike
Man. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So, you know, we'll all get there. Dude, there is a bug in my water cup. Refuses to.
Andy
Leave. In your.
Mike
Water? Yeah, Just hanging out, like, right by.
Matt
The. If anybody's on YouTube. About five minutes ago, Jason was staring into this cup, and I could not figure out what was going.
Jason
On. Oh, one of those little gnat type.
Andy
Bugs.
Jason
Yeah. But it didn't go in the.
Mike
Water. It didn't go in the water. So I don't know if I can drink this or not, but this. I mean, it was hanging out there for a long.
Jason
Time. That's another question. The. What is your.
Andy
Response? So say the bug went in the.
Jason
Water. Say the tiny little gnat goes in the water. Are you like, I.
Mike
Can'T. I was. I was full. I'm currently planning on not drinking any more of that.
Jason
Water.
Andy
Okay. Even.
Mike
Now. Even now. Like, I don't want.
Andy
To. You don't pluck and.
Mike
Sip? No, not unless. Not unless the liquid is.
Andy
Valuable. I would not pluck and sip unless I saw it go in. Like, if. I didn't know if it was there for, like, days or.
Jason
Something. Oh, how old is.
Andy
It? How long have you got water around? You don't have water next to.
Jason
Your bed in a bottle, like in a.
Andy
Thermos. Okay, your thermos. What do you have next to your.
Mike
Bed? I've got a bottle of.
Andy
Water. I have. You know, when.
Mike
You. You got a bucket.
Andy
No. When you go to baseball games, they give you the, like, souvenir.
Jason
Cups. Yeah, yeah.
Andy
Yeah. I collect those. And all I use them for is water glasses by my bed. If. I mean, theoretically, I could use that for a couple nights. I could drink half of it. There's enough water for the next night. Now I'm getting hand sanitized, but you got it.
Matt
Covered. You got, like, a layer of dust.
Andy
Cover. No, there ain't. It's not covered. There is.
Matt
Dust.
Andy
Gross. There can be Dust. But if I. If.
Mike
I. And if I see the bug go in, it's fine. But otherwise it.
Andy
Could. If I see a floating bug, I'm not plucking it. I'm.
Jason
Refilling. How big of a bug does. So you're watching the bug go in. How big does the bug have to be before you're like, nope, I.
Andy
Can'T. Yeah. I mean, it's got to be super tiny. Like a regular fly. Like a real.
Mike
Like. Like a house.
Andy
Fly. Fly's too.
Jason
Big. Yeah. House. Because they're all covered in acid. They're covered in doo doo. But like, a bumblebee goes.
Mike
In. Oh, good.
Jason
Question. Perishes in that.
Andy
Water. Bumble, bumble, bumble. I'm not sipping that.
Jason
Water. Honeybee.
Mike
Maybe. Wait. What's the.
Jason
Difference? The.
Mike
Bumblebees. A bumblebee's different than a.
Jason
Honeybee. Bumblebee's got the fuzzy.
Andy
Butt. The bumblebees are huge.
Mike
Man. Wait, that's. I thought a bumblebee is.
Andy
Just. If it was the same, it would be called a bee. It wouldn't be called a.
Mike
Bumblebee. I thought we'd just shorten it. And we don't always have to say.
Jason
Bumblebee. We just call him a.
Andy
Bee. No, no.
Jason
Man. It's a type of.
Andy
Bee. Have you not seen those big old bumblebees flying.
Jason
Around? They're not. Those are. The big ones are.
Mike
Like. Bumblebees are just a black and.
Jason
Yellow regular, but they're.
Mike
Fuzzies. Isn't that what a normal bee.
Jason
Is? No. A honeybee is not.
Mike
Fuzzy. Honeybees aren't.
Jason
Fuzzy. No. They're sleek death.
Mike
Machines.
Andy
No. They got a little bit of fuzz because they got. Not like a bumble. You got to get the pollen on.
Matt
Them. Mike is.
Mike
Correct. Bumblebees are.
Jason
Cute.
Mike
Yes. Honeybees are.
Jason
Monsters.
Andy
Yes. But bumblebees are much.
Mike
Bigger. They are a.
Jason
Little. Yeah, but they look.
Mike
Friendlier. They look way.
Andy
Friendlier. They look stuff.
Mike
Cuddly. And they're more round, less sleek. The sleekness of a honeybee is made for war. A bumblebee. Which is funny. I want these names.
Jason
Replaced. Bumblebee's a.
Mike
Cruiser.
Andy
Hmm. I mean, bumble's a goofy name. It's the right name for.
Mike
That. I'm a bumbling bee. Bumblebees are genuinely cute. Like, which came.
Andy
First? What are the ones we see flying around in Arizona that are.
Jason
Giant? You talking.
Mike
About. You're talking.
Jason
Big. It's usually a June bug, but if it's a bee. It's a. I think it's a carpenter bee. That's what I've always called big.
Mike
Huge black ones that are like three.
Andy
Inches. That's what I've always said was a.
Mike
Bumblebee. That's not a.
Jason
Bumblebee. No, that's incorrect. What are the giant, big black.
Mike
Bees? No, not a wasp. It's the carpenter bee.
Andy
It's. Matt wrote.
Mike
Wasps. Matt won't.
Jason
Wrote. You're.
Mike
Fired. You're.
Andy
Fired. We know what a wasp.
Mike
Is. No longer.
Jason
Employed. A wasp is an opinion. Angry looking bee. So Josh is. You're on my.
Mike
Side. It's a carpenter bee. It's the.
Jason
Drones. I'm on fire today.
Andy
Boy. Oh, no, you're not.
Mike
Right. Is it a pigeon? We do.
Matt
Have. We do have big black bumblebees as.
Andy
Well. Oh, carpenter bee does look.
Jason
Right. Wait, there's. There's big black.
Andy
Bumblebees.
Jason
Yeah. Are they snuggly? They're not.
Andy
Snuggly. I'm so.
Matt
Sorry. No, they are not. They do have, like, a little fur coat, but then their butt is.
Andy
Smooth. Yeah. All right. Man of the people. I hit this button and we start and we stop talking about.
Jason
Bees. Bumbus.
Matt
Melanopagus. Jason, do you need some water? Are you gonna be all.
Mike
Right? I would love a.
Matt
Drink. Matt would love to get that for.
Mike
You. You're hired temporarily to give me a.
Andy
Drink. He gets you a drink, he walks it out here on camera. You slap him in the face for saying wasps, and then he can.
Jason
Leave.
Mike
Okay? All right. Deal?
Podcast Narrator
Deal. Man of the.
Andy
People. I wouldn't even feel bad. You're not supposed to slap your employees, but this is.
Mike
Fine. No, he said wasps when we were talking about bees. Like we didn't know what a wasp was. A pigeon. Do you know how smart we.
Andy
Are?
Mike
Very. I don't know what a.
Andy
Wasp. Mike is still digging into these.
Jason
Bumblebees. Well, carpenter bee versus the black bumblebee. They look real.
Andy
Similar. Yeah.
Jason
Man. I'm sorry. So what do we got here? And is one.
Matt
Worse? We have both.
Jason
Here. Oh, that's.
Andy
Great. I don't see that. That's.
Jason
Great. We also got those.
Mike
Tarantulas. You can just come right on camera and get your.
Andy
Slap. Come on in. Get your.
Matt
Slap. There you.
Mike
Go. Let the record show I did slap him. And I also made him spill the dirty, nasty water all over the.
Andy
Water. But to be clear, that water never had a bug in it. Maybe the bugs were just near.
Mike
It. The bug was near it, but.
Andy
I Don't know if it's dry.
Mike
Bug. I don't know if he was.
Jason
Drinking. He's all.

Andy
Exist. Is King Kong our.
Jason
Godzilla? I don't.

Podcast Narrator
It'S worth. The.
Andy
Spitballers draft. All right. We are drafting fictional devices we wish were real fictional devices. And Jason, what do they have.
Mike
To be? They have to be electronical.
Andy
Or mechanic. Thank you. So, Mike, you are the first pick in our devices you wish were real draft. What are you.
Jason
Going with? I imagine we'll be pretty top heavy here with big ones. So it's just. Which one? So I'm going. It's time machine for me and I'm going to go with.
Andy
The.
Jason
Tardis. Yeah. As I think it's the most efficient Doctor who. Like the. Yeah, yeah.
Mike
Doctor who. I didn't know what.
Jason
That was. Oh, yeah, it's the Doctor.
Andy
Who want like, it's like bigger on.
Jason
The inside and you can go any time or place you want to. Like the DeLorean is awesome. But you're reliant on a lot of stuff, as we saw in the movies, that chaos.
Andy
Can happen. I feel like the Delorean.
Jason
And you got to get.
Andy
To 88. The DeLorean's kind of a weird answer because the real Device There is.
Jason
Mr. Fusion. Right? It was just the flux capacitor, I guess because at number one. Number one does.
Andy
Flux fusion. Yeah.
Jason
You'Re right. You're right. Jason has.
Mike
No idea. You guys are talking like.
Andy
It'S real. Time.
Mike
Machine is. Well, what actually makes it work is.
Andy
The writing. Are we good.
Jason
With that? In the world of Back to the Future, we're talking about what makes.
Mike
It real.
Andy
All right. Okay. So the TARDIS is the number one pick by Mike. Jason, you're on.
Mike
The clock. I'm going to go with the heart wants what the.
Jason
Heart wants. Good. Good.
Mike
For you. And this might not be the most popular, but it would be incredible. And I don't think enough credit is given in the Star Trek universe to.
Jason
The Replicator. Oh, it's on my.
Andy
List firmly. So I'm really disappointed because that's my.
Mike
Number.
Jason
One. Unbelievable. The.
Mike
Food machine. The food machine. Just make me any food. Perfect. Immediately right.
Andy
Now from. It's not.
Mike
Just food. No, it's not.
Andy
It's not. It rearranges subatomic particles into anything that you want. Yeah, I mean, it just can't.
Jason
Be organic. So you can.
Andy
Make electronicals. Like you just can't make like a. You can't like make a.
Jason
Person'S arm or something like that, but you can make.
Andy
A machine. You.
Jason
Could make. I mean, you can make a bio or.
Andy
A mechanical. Like a quick. Really? Yeah, like a.
Jason
Computer mount. I don't.
Mike
Star Trek. When, when.
Jason
When they. Because I have.
Mike
Self respect. Like.
Andy
When they. It creates things from.
Jason
Thin air.
Mike
Watch it. Star Trek. Doing this draft, I realized your list is Star Trek. They are the best of all the sci fi cool stuff. They did it. The best. But yeah, that. You know, when you. When you ask it for a dish, it's putting it on a plate, is making.
Andy
A plate. The Replicator's a.
Mike
Great pick. What do you do with that? You just throw it away. I mean, how do they not just get overrun by plates? Everyone eats. A brand new.
Andy
Plate exists. You put the plate right back into the machine and it rearranges the particles for the next thing. Recycles.
Jason
Forever. Lightsaber. Okay. Yeah. Figure that one.
Andy
Would happen. I didn't really want it to be my first pick. I wanted to get into the Replicator and start talking about it like I'm smart and you.
Mike
Picked it. It's obviously a very popular one that you know, will do well in the draft, but I think, like fictional devices you wish were real. I don't wish the lightsaber was real.
Andy
That is. A lot of.
Mike
People do. No, no, no. I.
Jason
Get that. There would be some.
Mike
Big problems. Yeah, there's big problems if a lightsaber.
Jason
Is.
Andy
Real. Yeah. I'm going in the back of a lot.
Mike
Of vaults.
Jason
You are. Nothing.
Andy
Stopping me. Straight in. All right, so you threw me off a little bit. I thought I was very, very safe with the replicator. So I've got the lightsaber. I'm just going to. Heart wants what Heart wants. I'm going hoverboard back to.
Jason
The future. Yeah, baby. It's on my list.
Andy
That's nice. You could pretend like we've made stuff like that. We haven't. We haven't.
Jason
Made.
Andy
Anything. Yeah. The one that's out there, they're all pretend, man. They're all. No, they're all like, oh. If you put it on.
Jason
A magnet floor special track, then it doesn't work. As long as it can hover over everything but water.
Andy
You'Re good. I feel like hoverboard lightsaber, and I have those, and I'm using them at the same time. I'm the coolest.
Mike
Dude ever. You're just flying down, cutting balls.
Andy
In half. Yo, Biff, come here. All right, Jason, you're back on.
Jason
The cloud. It's a very different movie. It is. If you give Marty, you.
Andy
Give him a lightsaber, he's going to be.
Jason
All right.
Mike
All right. I would have taken this one first, but I felt like with your tardis, so I'm unfamiliar with Doctor who. This can go anywhere and anytime. Yeah. So I could be like, I'm Yesterday in China. Yeah. So that. That's way better than what I'm about to put. But I want the teleporter from.
Jason
Star Trek. It's still.
Mike
Very cool. The fact that I could just, like, you know, beam somewhere. That is still the device. That is the fictional device that I cannot wait to exist. And it will.
Jason
Be.
Andy
100%. No. They go, beam me down, Beam me down, Scotty. They never beam you down. They do that energizes.
Jason
The one. Jason's a big fan of the.
Mike
Word energizical. Yeah. So I'll take Star Trek. Teleportation is going to be so great. And will.
Andy
100% exist. Yeah. Yeah. And Jason has been so. It's so important to him that people know he was.
Mike
The.
Jason
One. Yeah. I believe from.
Mike
The.
Andy
Beginning. Yes. I believe we're going to Teleport ourselves.
Mike
We're not.
Jason
It seems. I mean, I feel like you have to go wormhole teleportation. We can't do the. Disassemble your body, send your genetic code over.
Mike
And reassemble. I'm already there. Where? Wherever I'm going, I'm not. I'm not being disassembled and reassembled. Is anyone.
Andy
Else confused? He's been drinking.
Jason
A lot. Okay, so.
Mike
I'm.
Jason
Up. Yeah. Sick. I'm gonna take the. Because I thought this was. I thought it would never make it back. Give me the Iron.
Andy
Man suits.
Jason
Yeah, yeah. Because I will do almost all those things. I mean, I can fly, I can go to space if I need to go to war. I can be a single man army. Very excited for.
Andy
That one. And then what slows you down in that suit, by.
Mike
The way? Having to pee like that.
Jason
Would be. There's no way. There's no.
Mike
Way that.
Andy
It's beautiful. You can pee in there.
Mike
For sure. You could poop if you go high enough. That's fine. It'll evaporate, you know, by the time it hits.
Andy
The ground. He's saying you pee in the suit. You're saying you're peeing out of.
Mike
The suit. That's right. I'm not going to pee in.
Jason
My suit. If you go up to.
Andy
People pee in suits and you're peeing.
Jason
Out the suit, you got a whole nother.
Andy
Freezing problem. People pee.
Mike
In scuba. Oh, you think it's really cold.
Jason
Up there? Up in the air, up in the atmosphere.
Andy
Or space?
Mike
Very cold. I'm not going to outer space and opening my suit. I'm just going, you know.
Jason
How high up are.
Mike
We going?
Jason
Thousand feet.
Andy
A thousand. Oh, people.
Mike
Can see. I don't. You're giving them way too.
Andy
Much credit. That's a.
Jason
Good point. And then for my next pick, let's see. Speaking of the heart wants from the.
Mike
Movie up. Okay, I will be taking all.
Jason
Those balloons. No, I will be taking the talking dog collar so that my dog.
Andy
May speak. That's a.
Jason
Cool pic. And me and me and my dogs. I'm gonna know exactly what they.
Andy
Want, man. The idea that your dogs can talk and then you get the collar on and they're just.
Jason
Saying nothing. Oh, that's definitely what's happening. Treats, poop, treat.
Mike
Poop, poop. Or way worse. They just tell you how free me. How sad.
Andy
They are.
Mike
Oh, yeah. And you're like, I hate. Well.
Andy
I hate. I remember.
Jason
My siblings. And you know what? I would rapidly improve the life of.
Mike
My dog. If he said that because I don't want to be trapped in this house anymore, I'd like to leave and go out. And so you just let him go out the.
Jason
Front door? I won't let him go out. Cuz.
Andy
You'Ll die. Yeah, I was gonna say you'd be like, oh, I can't let you go, cuz you'll.
Jason
Just die. Maybe the frequency of walks increases. Okay, okay, but until he actually says that, then no, he can just sleep in.
Andy
The house. What if you had a dog collar, but it makes you speak.
Jason
In dog. That's.
Andy
Fine too. He would understand you. You wouldn't know what you're saying.
Jason
Though, right? No, I would, but everyone else who was hearing me would hear bark.
Andy
Bark, bark. Jason, What Star Trek. What Star Trek item are.
Jason
You picking? Bark.
Mike
Bark, bark. The Star Trek item I am drafting is.
Andy
The phaser. Okay, he's going Star.
Jason
Trek again. You're just doing.
Mike
Them full. I. I mean, look, they're awesome. They're.
Andy
Awesome things. So you don't want a lightsaber, but you want.
Mike
A phaser? Well, yeah, because it's.
Jason
A stun. Yeah. I mean.
Andy
Come on.
Mike
Stunning randos.
Andy
Oh.
Mike
Yes. From. From the back, they.
Jason
Won'T know. Are you in.
Matt
My.
Jason
Way? Yeah. Then, yeah, you're.
Andy
Getting stunned. Just so you go on an elevator and when it opens up on the next floor, they're all laying on.
Mike
The ground. I don't think they fall over. They just kind.
Andy
Of free. You fall over if.
Jason
You'Re stunned. Well, I know.
Andy
This is. This ain't no Mr.
Jason
Freeze machine. I don't know Star Trek.
Andy
Enough to know that they.
Jason
Fall over. They.
Andy
Fall.
Jason
Over? Yes. So it's like go.
Andy
To sleep. Yes. This is not like. It's not.
Jason
Freeze tag. How do you not.
Mike
Know this? It's been a minute since I've been watching Star Trek. I grew up.
Jason
On it. Did they still use the phasers in.
Andy
Next Generation?
Jason
Yeah.
Andy
Yeah. Okay. They're just shaped different. More like a gun.
Jason
I think. Oh, unless.
Andy
Like og. It was more like a.
Mike
Remote control. I don't know.
Matt
I see. You typically fall unconscious and drop to.
Andy
The ground. That's because sometimes you'd be confused, like, oh, I hope that was on stun because they fell over if it was.
Mike
On kill. I see a video, Star Trek 10 things you didn't know about phasers. I'm gonna.
Andy
Watch that. Well.
Jason
You should. Yeah. I mean, number one, if you stun someone, they.
Mike
Fall down. I didn't.
Andy
Know that. Am I back up yeah. Okay. Let's have some fun. I'm going.
Mike
Rocketeer.
Jason
Jetpack. Yeah. Yeah. That's not very cool compared to my Iron.
Mike
Man suit. But you know what's funny is I.
Jason
Have cool. Until I knew Iron Man.
Mike
I had the rocket man jetpack on my.
Jason
Rocket man. The rocket. Give him some respect. It's a.
Mike
Great movie. The Rocketeer jetpack on my list. I didn't have the Iron man because I felt like the Iron man was, like, too much of.
Andy
A vehicle. Too much the jetpack, but it's way better. Also works with my lightsaber, which is part of my goal. And then I'm actually gonna go into the video game universe here. I'm going the portal gun. Portal.
Jason
Fabulous game. You better have some good.
Andy
Sturdy legs just to be able to jump through.
Jason
It or. Well, yeah. I mean, if. No, like, when you fall through it, if you come from.
Andy
The ceiling. Well, I've.
Mike
Got a. You get to choose where you're shooting.
Andy
That thing. Brothers.
Jason
I gotta. Inertia.
Andy
Still builds. I got a hoverboard under my feet. I've got a jetpack. If I'm coming down too fast, we're in.
Mike
Good shape. Yeah, that's. Those are real. They work together fantastically. All right. I was actually. The portal gun was potentially my next pick, but since you took it, I'm taking the holodeck. So I'm going four for.
Andy
Four on. Is that.
Jason
A.
Andy
Device? Yes.
Mike
All right. The holodeck is.
Andy
The most. He.
Mike
Got serious. It's the coolest version of all. Let me show you these plans, the VR stuff. Because, like, in. You know, it's like the Ready Player One headset.
Jason
Or.
Mike
Whatever. Right. You know, we pretty much. We don't have the Oasis or the, you know, the destination, but we've got the tech right now, and it's like. It's weird, but in the holodeck, you go into a room, and then all of a sudden, the entire world changes. People can come, and I don't know how it. I don't know how it happens, because it's like, in theory, it is a room, you know, with dimensions. But then once they are in the holodeck and it changes. Now they can be. They can.
Jason
Walk forever. Well, I mean, if the floor is. Did you see that, like, cool.
Mike
Treadmill, that. The Disney, where you can.
Matt
Walk.
Jason
Forever? Yeah. Okay. So, I mean, if the.
Mike
Floor is that it has.
Jason
To be. Then maybe. Maybe we can get there.
Andy
All.
Jason
Right. My. With my final pick, man. I guess I have some overlap with the tardis But I will take the remote.
Andy
From Click. Is that a.
Jason
Freeze remote? That was the Adam. I don't remember Sandler movie. I mean, imagine pausing. Imagine a television remote. Yeah, and anything on the TV remote. So you could pause, you can rewind, you could turn.
Andy
People.
Mike
Down.
Jason
Okay. Which.
Andy
Oh.
Mike
Man.
Jason
Mute. Yeah. If I can mute the.
Mike
World, you can go straight to Netflix. Is there a Netflix button.
Jason
On there?
Andy
Yeah.
Jason
Obviously. Okay. But then your.
Andy
TV crashes. So Mike has the Tardis, the Iron man suit, a talking dog collar, and the remote. Jason has the Replicator, teleporter, phaser, and holodeck from Star Trek. I've got the lightsaber, hoverboard, jetpack, and portal gun. Some honorable mentions as we close this thing out. I still had the shrink ray from Honey I Shrunk the Kids. I couldn't think of how practical that.
Mike
Would.
Jason
Be. Oh. I mean, the problem is how large.
Andy
It is. Yeah, it is big, but.
Jason
If you could actually shrink things like, that.
Andy
Would be. That would solve our world.
Jason
Trash issues. It would be unbelievable. I mean.
Andy
In hunger. Oh, and the memory deletion device I have neural on there to just make people forget stuff. The. The grapple gun from Batman I put.
Jason
On there. Oh.
Andy
That is. I have always. I spent my whole life being like, how does that work every time? How does it. You just fire it up into the sky. No matter what, it will.
Mike
Hook onto something, it will find its destination, and it will bring.
Jason
You there. Jeremy, how do I shrink hunger? I make the food.
Andy
Gigantic. Jeremy.
Mike
Yeah, buddy? Does.
Andy
It.
Matt
Work? Both. This is from Blew up.
Andy
The Kids. Oh, yeah, that's a.
Jason
Good point. It.
Andy
Does both. It only.
Jason
Does one. He makes a new machine in the.
Mike
Second one.
Andy
Yeah.
Jason
Really? Yeah. Oh, I guess I haven't seen it in.
Mike
A while. So, wait, so in the first one, how do they.
Andy
Come back? That's a strong point. He might have.
Matt
Figured.
Mike
Out.
Andy
What? Jeremy. He can only make tiny things.
Matt
Regular size. I thought it only shrug. I have.
Mike
No.
Andy
Idea. Huh. Maybe it can do both. I mean, it's pretty. It was out of control, to be honest. That it was. Was really barely hanging.
Jason
On until. Until the baseball diffused.
Andy
The.
Jason
Beam. Yeah. And we're all right. I had Auntie.
Andy
A.
Jason
Pokeball. Huh. Just.
Mike
In case. Just in case you came upon.
Andy
A problem. But it's like.
Jason
Real animals. But if you could. Yeah, if you just like.
Andy
He'S throwing out, like.
Jason
A little. I'm just saying, if it worked on anything that's alive. And I was like, you get out of here. You go in.
Andy
This ball. It's not magic. That's device.
Mike
I.
Andy
Had. Cerebro. What.
Jason
Is that? That's the.
Mike
X Men. Yeah. Put on the little helmet and you can find anyone anywhere and see what's going on around.
Andy
The world. Okay. Okay. Well, there.

Andy

Episode: Spit Hits!
Date: December 25, 2025
Hosts: Andy, Mike, and Jason
In this episode, the award-winning trio delivers their signature blend of “clean, actually funny” dad humor and spirited debate. The main theme revolves around:
This lively discussion ping-pongs between silly hypotheticals, daily life absurdities, geeky deep-dives, and genuine camaraderie.
Prompt: Would you rather be immune to blunt force trauma or piercing injuries?
Highlights:
“Dude, jump in the ocean. Tons of skydives into the ocean, you’re fine. You can’t drown… unless you land on a swordfish!” — Andy (08:55)
Takeaway: The group collectively admits word confusion, but aligns on "invincible = can’t be defeated", "immune = unaffected".
Prompt: If dyslexia or color blindness were contagious, catching them for 7–10 days like the common cold, which would you rather?
Game Show Segment
Al surveys “100 people,” hosts buzz in for top answers. Points for top spots.
“The rent no one's paying, it's just in your tuition.” — Jason on college dorms vs. apartments (36:14)
Finale: Andy is crowned “Man of the People” after a controversial tie-break involving answer timing.
Rules: Must be a “device” (mechanical or “electronical”). No “Elder Wand” or purely magical items.
Mike:
Jason:
Andy:
Notable Quotes:
