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. Shoulda let me mime it, Andy. You shoulda let me mime it.
Starting point is 00:01:47 I was more concerned about the level of gyration on your side of the desk. It... I thought if I move my body... Something better would... The soul would follow. Because you need soul to scat. There was no soul.
Starting point is 00:02:03 No, that's what I'm saying. There was no heart. It was a's what I'm saying. There was no heart. It was a heartless, soulless amalgamation of sounds. I mean, no rhythm? The most. Too much swivel? Most mailed in scat of all time. Not enough swivel.
Starting point is 00:02:18 I think I need more. I don't know. If you equate movement to soul, I'd get rid of the movement. All right. You never know. Welcome in to the Spitballers. Andy, Mike, and Jason back with you. Would you rather?
Starting point is 00:02:30 What's the difference? And we are drafting the best Tom Hanks characters on today's episode of the show. So there's a lot of them. You have that to look forward to at the end of the episode when we jump into our draft. You can follow the show on Axe at Spitballers pod. You can subscribe and review the show over on Apple podcast or Spotify if you'd be so kind. And the number one
Starting point is 00:02:51 thing you can do is tell your family and friends if you'd like them to enjoy their Mondays and Thursdays. And whatever day we decided to post and every other day because there there's hundreds of episodes 307 episodes and counting, so let's continue episode 307. ["Would You Rather?" by John Williams plays.] Would you rather? So the, would you rather, question number one,
Starting point is 00:03:21 is which time travel power would you rather have? 30 seconds into the past and you can use it every 10 minutes so a 10 minute cool down 10 minute cool down very handy one day in the past with a 15 day cool down okay so twice a month you can go back one day it It's pretty neat. Or 10 years into the past with a 30 year cool day. Oh man, this is actually a pretty interesting. Do you stay there then? Yeah, you live from there. So you go back 10 years.
Starting point is 00:03:57 Hold on a minute. So you can't, it's not like an infinite time hack. Right. So when I'm 30, I can go back to 20. So then when I'm 50, I can go back to 20. So then when I'm 50 I can go back to 40. When I'm 70 I can go back to 60. Yeah. When I'm 90 if I'm lucky enough I can go back to 80. That one's lame. Yeah. And the problem here is you don't go back in age. You know what I mean? Like I'm 40 I don't go back and become 30. I
Starting point is 00:04:23 go back 10 years But I would still be 40 right or wrong If that's right, then that's dumb My point is that it's back to the future. He goes back to the past. He's not a baby. Yes himself I'm going back right, but in that scenario you'd run into your former self, too Yeah, you got a paradox problem. You got a killer your former self. You also have a problem of what? Wait, hold on. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:04:48 Hold on. OK. Just to be clear, Jason's going to, as a 40-year-old man, he's going to go back in time to be 30. He's going to kill the 30-year-old version of himself and have a horrible surprise for his wife being 10 years older. Oh, shoot.
Starting point is 00:05:01 When he walks in and that's what I'm saying. The benefits. She's going to see through this. If you go back, the thing about the time machine is you get to go back and visit. And then you can return to where you're supposed to be. Yeah, OK. If all you're doing is just resetting,
Starting point is 00:05:15 but you're still old, that is not helpful. So there's two advantages here. One, you get to become younger. Yeah. And two, you don't have to kill yourself, your former self. Well, it's not yourself. It's another version of you. That's yourself.
Starting point is 00:05:31 Is another version of you someone else? Well, it's an alternate self. Different memories, different experiences. No, you have the same memories and same experience. No, you have 10 years more. Well, you have extra. Yeah. Listen.
Starting point is 00:05:44 You have 100% of what he has the 10 years into the past. If you go back and you save the time, if you live to 90, it seems like you'll save about 40 years of your life. That's pretty big. That's quite a bit. And at this point in our technological advancements, 40 extra years might be 100 extra years. You know what I'm saying? Because by the time I've gained an extra 40 years, I mean the medical advances are going
Starting point is 00:06:16 to be astronomical. Not to mention the amount of wealth I have accumulated by constantly going back 10 years in time. And I'm not even talking like bet. I'm just talking investing. I'm not like betting on a sports game. I'm just going like, oh, this company is going to do pretty good. What?
Starting point is 00:06:31 Just medical advancements. Medical? I'm saying if you gain 40 years by the time you're 90. But progression of technology doesn't change. The time has not advanced 40. You're just getting a bonus 40 years of life. Honestly, you'll just be mad because you've been 10 years in the past technologically from where they've advanced.
Starting point is 00:06:50 This is a tough one for Jay to get through. You need to spend a lot more time thinking about time travel and how it actually works. That's what we're doing right now. We're investigating the importances of relativity. Yes, as the importances of relativity. Now, yes, as the importances. Yes. All right, so that one is a big jump.
Starting point is 00:07:12 But I want, for one time, 307 episodes in. One time, I want you to take away the financial gain from the equation. I agree. Just tell me why you do it otherwise. First of all, the plural noun is importances. That's the full word. So eat it. Okay. I just googled that. But yes, all right, let's take the financial gain out. Which I mean, okay, okay, we'll take the financial gain out. But you're telling me that if I go back in time, I'm like, does that mean I'm not allowed
Starting point is 00:07:47 to use the stock market? Or I have to like blindly? That's just, that is built in. Okay, I don't have the knowledge of- We understand, but here's the thing. If you go back in 10 years, or you go back 10 years, and you use all of your knowledge, you have now butterfly affected yourself into a,
Starting point is 00:08:03 like you're on a different timeline now. Yeah, I'm on a much better path Mike All right, this show doesn't exist much better Significantly that scat you just did wouldn't exist either right much better path. All right Okay, so the other ones out for a second gain off the, obviously, the fact that you can go back every 10 minutes to go back, what is it, one minute? 30 seconds. 30 seconds.
Starting point is 00:08:30 Oh, 30 seconds, geez. That's not a lot, I feel like that's like an accident. That's like, oops, that wasn't a fart, wait a minute. Perfect. How fast can you eat an entire cake? Well, you can still enjoy. No, because you go back 30 seconds of the breath and you didn't have to, the calories are gone.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Oh you don't, I'm sitting here thinking I get to eat it again. You can eat it in 30 seconds? I was like, I mean both are true. You can eat it again in 10 minutes. Yeah, yeah you can eat it again. You gotta have a 30 second clock because you're only going back 30 seconds.
Starting point is 00:09:03 So 30 seconds, eat as much as you can, go back in time, no calories. I don't think 30 seconds is really going to fill the bill. My thought for the 30 seconds was, I mean, accident, avoiding an accident, assume you're not just instantaneously gone. That's good. But my other thought was, how many conversations, I'm not even asking, you're in them.
Starting point is 00:09:26 You're in conversations all the time, and there's that thing, you're like, I want to say this right now. Oh, that's good, man. To this person's face. I want to say it. But you know for just humanity, kindness, the relationship, you're like, I can't say this because this will fracture.
Starting point is 00:09:42 The freedom. If just be like, no, I'm going to say this to you read them. That's gonna get you in big trouble Yeah, I tell you what you're gonna do. Yeah, nine minutes later. You're gonna do it again. You're gonna go no crap Oh crap, I can't go back anymore My full ten minutes if you're in a nasty job that you have to keep yeah, you can quit Yeah, you can quit yeah you can quit yeah multiple times a day go let your boss know I I've always had a problem with this time travel yeah I'm a pee on the floor right now what are you gonna do boink just time
Starting point is 00:10:17 it up right man don't be that's what I'm saying this is a dangerous game you're playing for 35 seconds and you go back to the beginning of your pee. Yeah. Well, then it's only a five second pee. That's still enough. I promise. Legally speaking, it's enough. I've always had the hardest problem with these time travel questions when it comes to the 30 seconds in the past. I always want to say, oh, the accident that I can undo, except for, like, I cannot think
Starting point is 00:10:43 of any time, I can't think of any time in my life, and maybe I'm not thinking hard enough yet, where if I just had a button, right, like I'm just, you know, I've got a little buzzer, where I wish I could have hit that. A car crash. 30 seconds is plenty of time to fix a car crash. If you're surviving.
Starting point is 00:11:00 Yeah, yeah, that's what I was saying, if you're not instantly gone, if you're just like, you're like, oh, it's spinning and falling off a cliff or not instantly gone, if you're just like, you're like, oh, spinning and falling off a cliff or something. Yeah, oh, then you hit it. Yeah, 30 seconds is plenty of time to correct that. Yeah, yeah, that will get you out of it.
Starting point is 00:11:12 But what about the one day in the past? Every, twice a month, do you just relive an awesome day? You're like, man, that was awesome. My team won the game. I've always thought reliving one, if you have memories is not great it's boring it's only great because it's the first time you experience it a little bit like for example maybe it's a terrible example first time you see the Grand Canyon it's a beautiful day you see everything you can go back the next day I mean a regular person could do that they could go back the next day they don't, a regular person could do that. They could go back the next day.
Starting point is 00:11:46 They don't. Yeah, that's not where I would do it. So when you relive it, is it fresh? You have chances to do full do-overs. A first date that goes wrong, a job interview that you didn't get. You can wait a couple weeks, practice, you know the questions, you can go back, redo it.
Starting point is 00:12:02 As opposed to you can't- You're on a game show? Oh! A non-financial game just you want to be really good at the game I say enough dumb stuff I'm taking the 30 seconds I think the 30 seconds is perfect for because sometimes you say the thing to the person that you don't want to say and sometimes it's helpful but you just don't say it because you don't want to take the chance right I might I'm one of these days I'm going
Starting point is 00:12:25 to say that thing to Al Borland I've been wanting to say. And it might go well. He might change that horrible part of his life. But until then. No way do you know fully how it went in 30 seconds. Because you can only go back 30 seconds. So if you don't make that. You've got an indication.
Starting point is 00:12:38 You've got an indication. You're sure you're right. Some of the things I'm going to say I'm going to know pretty quick. And you're going to think, oh, this went well. But then a minute later, you're gonna be like, I shouldn't have said that. It's all right.
Starting point is 00:12:50 I'm definitely going 10 years. I mean, really? Every time Al tries to explain rules on the game? I'm adding 40 years to my life. But it's not adding because it's redoing. Yeah, but I think redoing can be improved as well. Like lessons learned, more knowledge, more wisdom. I could use 10 extra years to fix my parenting mistakes.
Starting point is 00:13:11 Yeah, I think I could become a better person, a better father. Sure, but in those- Better investor. Well, I'm not allowed. I know. But also, I mean, you weigh the complete other side. In those 10 years, there are tragedies that have happened.
Starting point is 00:13:26 Yeah, but I'll be prepped. I already know. Oh my god. I don't think that that's how it works. Yeah, I'll be totally fine. I'll be like, I went through this. Your wife goes and sees that in the closet, you've already got flowers set aside,
Starting point is 00:13:38 and you've got some things. Yeah, but you know what? Why is that suit pressed? Look, some of these things, though, going back that far in the past, we're talking early detection. We're talking changes to tragedies. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:13:50 Some. Some. Not all. Oh, dietary, yeah. Well, sure. I'm talking like someone gets cancer, and it's like you found it too late. What would you do if you just had a curiosity?
Starting point is 00:14:01 Hold on. If somebody was diagnosed with cancer that you know today, and you could go back 10 years, what are you doing to help? I'm making sure they just get it checked out early. You know what I mean, like early detection. It's a pretty good answer. Yeah, it's not like, stop eating Skittles, okay? You gotta cut that out, you're gonna get cancer.
Starting point is 00:14:19 No, this is just science and medicine. You're not allowed to tell the people what's gonna happen. You just have to hint and like try to help. Yeah. Oh, I got like this colon box for you Just I got an extra one hour or two. Why don't you just try it out? Remember that show the TV show early edition he got yeah, he got all the newspaper tomorrow's newspaper today and there was always a tragic Event that hit some big the world every single day. All right, so I'm taking 10 years in the past.
Starting point is 00:14:50 You guys are going 30 seconds in the past, and I am gonna use it for investing. All right, what's the next question? This one comes in. I can also do investing in 30 seconds. That's true, live betting. This one comes from a Patreon supporter. Would you rather drink a 32 ounce glass of milk through a sour punch straw.
Starting point is 00:15:08 Okay. Doesn't seem that bad. Sounds pretty good. Or eat two Reese's cups filled with mayo instead of peanut butter. The first one sounds great. How many ounces are in a gallon? Sixty-four. Yeah, they work good.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Sixty-four. Sixty-four. Sixty-four. I think a gallon is 64. Yeah, they work good. Oh, 64. 16 is the limit. I think a gallon's like 120 something. Oh my gosh. Oh, this is a cakewalk, too. I'm going, well, we need to find this out. Yeah, how many ounces are in? 128. You're right.
Starting point is 00:15:32 128? Oh, gosh. Dude, this is just a quarter of a gallon of milk through a, I might do this tonight. Yeah, this sounds like a good time. This sounds like tonight's activity. Trying to figure out what they're saying. It's a sour punch straw, so you're creating sour milk, which is all for a second for a moment. Yeah. The beginning
Starting point is 00:15:49 of a sour punch straw is sour and that's part and then it's like super sweet and delicious. That's the allure. That's fine. I'm gonna get a freezing, freezing cold glass. Let me fix this. Let me fix this. Um milk is five days expired. Regular straw, five days expired or the Reese's milk. Don't go expired. Just make it a sour milk. What's the human limit of, like there's the gallon. A gallon you can die. You'll barf. Yeah, you'll barf. You can die. You can die. Yes, you can. From drinking one gallon? Yes, you can. You're like, if you don't barf, you die? No, you can. From drinking one gallon of? Yes, you can. You're like, if you don't barf, you die? No, you can still barf, and then you can end up having
Starting point is 00:16:28 what do you call it? You die from barfing. You break stuff down there? So what's the, what can you do? Down where? In your stomach, in your intestines. Yeah, people have passed away. Then what you can actually drink where
Starting point is 00:16:42 barfing is probably, it's probably gonna happen, but it might not, but it's gonna be real painful. So is that 64? 64 would be a lot of milk, but it also sounds pretty decent. I think you're fine with it. Artificial intelligence says you can't die from it. No, there have been people that have died from it. Was that one of those old wide sales?
Starting point is 00:17:03 Was that one of those old wide sales? While they were drinking milk? In 2012, doctors described how a 54-year-old man found himself in the hospital unit after chugging an excess of cow's milk over a couple of days. All right, this is not a good example. I can handle a gallon of milk in a couple days. I can do that. That seems pretty easy. Over a couple days, cereal. Probably a day. You know, AI's not always right. I could take down a gallon in a day. I read an article once. The studies show.
Starting point is 00:17:30 No, I did. I did. I swear it. We've all read lots of things and told each other stories. All right. The milk one sounds like the easy choice. Now, would you? I mean, mayo inside of a Reese's is disgusting.
Starting point is 00:17:45 Mayo and chocolate, it's probably not that bad. It's genuinely probably not that bad. Mayo is like a base for so many things that you eat and you love and it's delicious. Like I know people, like my daughter just hates mayo. Mayo is the worst thing in the world, can't stand it. But eats plenty of sauces that are mayo based. It's like, you realize that's just mixing mayo and relish.
Starting point is 00:18:12 That's all the tartar sauce is. Put some ketchup in that mayonnaise. Right, oh, now you got Thousand Island. So I do think chocolate and mayo, there's a chance, it sounds disgusting, but there's a chance, you're like, you find something there, you know what I mean? You're like. If you found out that mayonnaise Reese's cups are tasty,
Starting point is 00:18:32 you're in big trouble. Oh, because big Reese's coming after you. Well, because you're gonna be eating, did you say they have? You're gonna be eating chocolate mayonnaise. Did you say they have peanut butter and jelly Reese's coming out? Grape and strawberry you have my attention. There's a layer at the bottom of the Reese's you can look it up I am this one's real
Starting point is 00:18:53 You cannot eat a gallon of Reese's all right without dying of happiness Peanut butter and jelly Spell strawberry Wait there we go. I got a can't spell strawberry. He perished. Wait, what was the struggle with the strawberry? I forgot to add W in there. Strawberry. It looked super wrong.
Starting point is 00:19:13 Strawberry. Okay, whether you could die or not, I want the milk in this one. It's easy. That one is very easy. That's a small glass of milk. Alright. Did you look up the Reese's? No, Jason was take it. That's a small glass of milk. All right. Did you look up the Reese's? No, I'm looking at it. Jason was on it.
Starting point is 00:19:28 I feel like you should have found it by now. I should have. If it were real, you would have found it by now. No, it is real. I see it. I'm on it. It looks awesome. Yeah, grape and strawberry.
Starting point is 00:19:40 Two options. Peanut butter and jelly. I haven't been eating a ton of sugar, but I'm getting this immediately. Okay. Immediately. There you go. Nerd750 from Patreon, would you rather have your neck fixed in place without the ability
Starting point is 00:19:54 to rotate side to side? Like Batman? Oh, can you not rotate? The OG Batman movies. Oh, he couldn't move them. No. Every time he looks at something, it's a full shoulder turn. Um, or, uh, sorry, rotate. You could not rotate it side to side with your eyes
Starting point is 00:20:14 fixed in place. Wait, sorry, sorry. I lost myself. I lost myself. So wait, these aren't out to purchase yet or what? Jason's still searching for that and that's what distracts. They're dropping in 2025 We don't need like how long it takes to put jelly in there squirt some jelly in there get in my mouth You can do this yourself not not like they can I want it I want it I can He's gonna have have a syringe. You don't have to sort you just dip. No, I want it inside the, because I like it.
Starting point is 00:20:50 In the cup? I like the cup being in the fridge. I like the cold cups. Oh, then they're too crispy. The reason I messed it up is because I thought Mike found out that I was lying, which is not a lot. I thought so, but no. It's looking good.
Starting point is 00:21:01 Let me start over. Nerd 750, would you rather have your neck fixed in place without the ability to rotate side to side? OK, would you rather have your neck fixed in place without the ability to rotate side to side? Okay, the Batman. Or your eyes fixed in place without the ability to look side to side? So your eyes can't move, okay. So your eyes are stuck here and you can move your head.
Starting point is 00:21:15 Okay, I get it. Or your neck can't move and you can move your eyes. What a dumb question. So. Who wrote this in? What a stupid, stupid question. Who wrote this in? What a stupid, stupid question. So essentially, while I'm sitting here, I can look towards you, Andy, or towards Mike,
Starting point is 00:21:35 but I can't without moving my head. OK, I'm trying this on for size. I can't see much. If I try to see you, Andy, or you, Mike, without moving my head, both suck. I'm seeing nobody. Now, if I've got to turn my whole body to you, I grant that I'm in a swivel chair. It's pretty easy. In a swivel chair, I'm definitely taking the no moving the neck. I think that's probably better. I've ran the options. And you're right, this question's dumb. I've had the occasional, like when we go on the road, I'll sleep on the wrong pillow.
Starting point is 00:22:14 And I've had it where basically- The old sleep injury. Yeah, I basically can't move my neck. I had to do a live show once where I was like- Yeah, I think- That was doable. Anybody our age has had a... But not moving my eyes seems like a major problem. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:28 Because if they're just fixed forward and I'm using a computer, I've got to move my neck every time I look up? I don't know. Maybe that's not a big deal. The big deal here is driving. I just don't care. Because I know that I'm teaching my oldest to drive. Which only one of them though, right?
Starting point is 00:22:46 Both of them actually. And you know, one of the things, you always need to look over your shoulder to make sure you're looking at oncoming traffic or when you're blinkering, when you're changing lanes. But I always tell them like your head's got to be on a swivel. You can't turn your shoulders or you will turn the car. You know, you really can't, your hands are on the steering wheel. So if you've got to turn your shoulders all the way, you can't really do that. Cars now though, cameras. I mean, I got cameras for everything.
Starting point is 00:23:17 That's true. That's good. You're right. I don't look anymore at all. Well, look, I mean, I'll be honest. I still turn when I look. Like, when you back out, are you turning every time? Yeah. Yes, every time. Even when you have the camera for the backup camera?
Starting point is 00:23:33 I have the camera on the back. I've got a camera on the side. And I use my eyes. And I look and I see. Because here's the thing. I use my eyes, too, on the camera. When I say that I do every time, I do almost every time. And every every now and then when I don't and I back out looking at the camera freaked out Someone is driving like I'm pulling straight back on a parking lot and then a car that was coming that I couldn't
Starting point is 00:23:56 Do that sure if you're at home, you know, nobody's there or whatever. I'm gonna there's a dumb question Yeah dumb question. I thought what we're deciding here. I'm gonna take the take the car cameras I'm gonna take the car cameras to Mike nice. All right. We'll take a break and come back with what's the difference? We're driven by the search for better But when it comes to hiring the best way to search for a candidate isn't to search at all don't search hiring, the best way to search for a candidate isn't to search at all.

Well sometimes we handle dumb questions, we do stuff like that, we keep you entertained. You know, we're your little old dancing clowns. Sometimes you get into serious stuff and we want to distinguish between A, B and C. And again, what's the difference is when we do that. We scientifically ascertain the difference between things
Starting point is 00:26:08 so you can move forward in your life with clarity and understanding. Which is why I wanna know the difference between a poop, a dump, and a turd. That's size. I'm just, look, sometimes it's- You came to the right- You came to the right-
Starting point is 00:26:24 It's absolutely size. A dump is the biggest, right? Oh, a dump's the biggest. I look sometimes you came to the right you came to the right Biggest right? Oh, yeah, you don't go and take a small dump. I feel like that's Big stuff sense. I feel like a poop and a turd a turd is a singular. Yeah turds a little tiny nugget Well, no, no, it's just it's one no matter what yeah, but it's small. Yeah, if you have a massive turd That's a dump. I promise you you take that one where it's hanging. If you have a massive turd, that's a dump, I promise. You take that one where it's hanging outside of the water and you go, oh, that's a dump. I object. I've never taken a single turd or released a single turd
Starting point is 00:26:56 and called it a dump. Yeah, because you know what a turd is. If you have a turd, you would never call that a dump. It's not big enough. Let me ask you a question. You know that little plastic pieces of poop that people will set around as a gag? Right.
Starting point is 00:27:09 What is that? That's a poop. That's a poop? That's a poop. That's not a turd? And what if you left a turd on someone's car? It would just be a little piece? Yeah, yeah, I think so.
Starting point is 00:27:20 Well, are you talking about? I think you're thinking. Are you talking about the one that looks like the, it's the swirly dog? The emoji, yeah. Yeah, that's a poop. Yeah, that, well look are you talking about you're thinking are you talking about the the one that looks like the it's the swirly Yeah, yeah, that's a poop. Yeah, that's a poop not a turd turd I was the one if it looked like you know it's just like a word bar. Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah a turd yeah, I would say what would be if you left a dump on someone's car It's a problem the fire hose this out the fire hose. It's more- Does it have to have a consistency to be a dump?
Starting point is 00:27:47 It can be any consistency. A dump can be anything. You can spray that stuff. You can lay that stuff, whichever one you want. This is- You can spray or you can lay. You can spray or lay. You can do both.
Starting point is 00:27:57 You can lay and then spray on it. I mean, a dump is just- But you can't spray a turd. You cannot spray a turd. No, and you can't spray a poop. No, the only- No, I don't think you could spray a poop. Not a, ah.
Starting point is 00:28:07 What happens when, let me ask you this, because this is very important. You just got done with a huge dump. Yeah? You leave the room, you come back in, you realize you got a little more, and it's a squirt. What is that? As a squirt, you just said it.
Starting point is 00:28:23 Oh, it's not a squirt. There are many more, many more descriptive terms here for And it's a squirt. What is that as a squirt? Many more many more descriptive terms here for just trying to do the got you for your squirts your charts your Double-decker your pop tarts. Yeah, there's so many great ways to defecate, but if we're talking about N, dump, and turd. The Deucer's group is losing control right now. Deucer's Alley is aptly named right now. That's because poop is funny. It's funny. Poop is funny, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:52 Because it comes out of you. It smells so bad. Everyone poops, and that just means average. When you take, when you go to the bathroom and it's just what you're used to, that's a poop. Somehow this doesn't make sense. But somehow, I think of a turd as being out of water and a poop of being in water.
Starting point is 00:29:08 No, a turd can be in. It can float. Yeah. Do you know what I'm saying? It could be a floater or a sinker. Yeah. Sinkers swim. Which are other two categories, right?
Starting point is 00:29:16 Like a floater? Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. I remember. That's a subcategory. I remember clearly. The ghost poop, that's one of my favorite and hardest to achieve. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Tell me you've experienced the ghost poop. That's one of my favorite and hardest to achieve. Oh, you know, yeah Tell me you haven't you've experienced the ghost poop. You haven't
Starting point is 00:29:30 Looked down and there's nothing there Yeah 100% you thought you pooped. No, you did poop, you know for sure you I promise you poop It's got no evidence. It slipped down. I think it goes all the way. It's like I'm flushing myself here I got you. If you sent it into the water at the right trajectory. The right trajectory, speed, it dove, and there was no splash in that water.
Starting point is 00:29:52 It's like an Olympic diver. And it just goes swoop right down the tube. And then you wipe and you look, because you're always going to look. You wipe and you look and you go, I did it. I had the ghost poop. you look you go I did it I had the ghost poop. Now you're getting into like like ultimate no wipers and things like that. Oh dude the no wipers are amazing ultimate no wipers. You do wipe but it's a surprise because there's
Starting point is 00:30:17 nothing on it. There's nothing on it. It's clean. That's a no wiper. That's like a once or twice in your life. The ultimate is when someone's just like, you bet on the no wipe and you're just like, I'm good. No! No, I'm not saying I do it. I'm just saying. That's too far, man, because I've had- That's disgusting. It's disgusting. I've had the 100. You always go, that one felt like a clean one. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:40 But most of the time it's not. But every now and then it's super not. You go, I was way wrong. I thought this was a clean one. This is instead the marker. How many clean ones in a row? Oh, the markers are dead. The marker, as Chris Pratt named, when you just, you could use a whole roll. You keep wiping, you keep wiping, you keep wiping, you keep wiping. It's like 20 flushes later, I'm like, do this.
Starting point is 00:31:00 I have to have it all. There's no way. I don't want to shower right now. The worst is if you have the marker and you go through a bunch of wipes And then you go I do have to go a little more Reset the I feel like at that point you have to be helping because I refill yeah How many clean no wipers would you have to have in a row before you take the chance and just pull the pants up? At least three, but that's impossible. Okay, listen, I remember very clearly
Starting point is 00:31:29 the floater was the most popular in the house when we were kids because it was like, that was the one you tried to flush and it'd still be there at the end. Oh yeah, yeah. They don't go down. That's just a bad buoy. Because that means not all the water's flushing.
Starting point is 00:31:44 No. No. If all the water all the water's flushing. No. If all the water flushes completely, I promise, it goes. No, no, no, no. OK, I get what you're saying, but a lot of them. It's catching the new clean water. Yeah. It's a moment.
Starting point is 00:31:54 There's a moment when the floater. It's the power. It's not the amount of water. Did we settle this? I think we settled it. Next time, we'll talk about a floater, a ghost, and a bridge. A bridge? Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:32:04 We can't get into that right now. Yeah, the bridge is a whole other thing. The bridge is to be feared. It's an engineering marvel. What is the difference between a friend, a buddy, and a chum? I'm pretty sure chums are English. Am I wrong there? It's English, or it's the stuff you put in the water
Starting point is 00:32:22 to get the shark. Yeah. Right, right. But that's just a- It's so close to a chump, which is a different thing. But so, can you combine those? It's a friend. But if I needed to get a shark here,
Starting point is 00:32:35 I can throw him in the water. The English one goes first. Yeah. Like, save yourself. Maybe. I mean, a friend of- What, you like English people? I just, I don't know if the sharks like them. I love? I just, I don't know if the sharks like them.
Starting point is 00:32:46 I love GovDuck! I don't know if the sharks like them. Maybe they're not, you know. A friend, a buddy. Let's start, a buddy is not as close as a friend, right? Correct. A buddy is somebody that you... They can become a friend.
Starting point is 00:33:01 I saw my buddy at the ball game. I feel like a buddy. I ran into my chum for some reason what the world so I'm I am confused I would like a little clarity on buddy because I I feel like there is a little bit of Seepage here from dadville where I feel like a buddy has to be younger like younger than you yeah You know, but I don't know if that's just my fathering instinct being like, you know, my kid is my bud But like I think you can have a buddy you can have an older buddy a bud that feels weird an older buddy Yeah, within a year So well sure I'm saying like, you know, we're we're we're middle-aged
Starting point is 00:33:37 So let's give a five-year difference all friends are buddies, by the way, but not all buddies are friends I think I can agree with that. And none of them are chums, because I'm not from bloody old England. Right. I mean, I don't have a chum. I don't have a chum. I certainly don't. I think about all my buddies, all my friends.
Starting point is 00:33:57 You've never had a chum? Not once in my life have I had a chum. Does this have to do with drinking tea? Can you not have a chum if you haven't had somebody over for tea and that's why they have a bunch of chums over there I don't even think tea is enough because you could have tea if you're not and crumpets Yeah, you gotta have the crumpets and tea cuz that's really the English Yeah, not man, I'm sorry today we were Not today. We were on a heater. Yeah, we were. It was really bad.
Starting point is 00:34:26 Close the show. Yeah. Are we ready for the draft or what? What makes somebody your buddy, though? How do you cross the line between acquaintance to buddy but not to friend? How do you thread the needle there? Is it someone you see twice?
Starting point is 00:34:39 Is it a two-time? No, a buddy is your, you will seek out to do something with them. So pickleball buddies. I go down there, they're not my friends, but I see them down there at the pickleball court, so they're my buddies? Now hold on, is it a friend that you have
Starting point is 00:34:56 just one particular? Interest? Yeah, you're like, oh, here's my pickleball buddy. No, this is, like this is my buddy. I don't think so. No? No, because I can seeball buddy. No, this is, this, like this is my buddy. I don't think so. No? No, because I can see myself going to a party and saying, oh, that's one of my buddies from work.
Starting point is 00:35:10 I think a buddy is someone you like. But all you do is work with them. True. You like a buddy. You're never like, oh, this is my buddy, and I don't like him. You like a buddy. You just don't do enough with them.
Starting point is 00:35:22 I think it's one thing. Yeah, whether it's, whether it's, I mean, you. I think it's one thing. Yeah, whether it's I mean, you could say it's only one thing. It's like my pickleball buddy. But it could be like, it would be a friend, but I don't see him that much. Like we hang out, but you know. My friend from work, my buddy from work. I'm closer to the friend, right?
Starting point is 00:35:38 Yeah, you're closer to the friend. The friend is the closest. The friend from work means you're like, you're at work, but you're also willing to go to lunch with them. All right, now listen, this one has nothing to do with the first question, but what's the difference between a nook, a cranny, and a crevice? Oh, it does.
Starting point is 00:35:48 A nook, a cranny, and a crevice. Wow. Now, we know nooks and crannies are both part of an English muffin. Well, right, right, right. But which part is which? Well, that's really what we're answering. I feel like the nook would be the pivot, the divot. Oh, like if a little meteor hit the English muffin
Starting point is 00:36:13 and created that little circle hole, that's a nook? Yeah, I think that's the nook. But then what's the cranny on an English muffin? Is the cranny the part that sticks up? Yeah, well no. I always thought a cranny was like a thin crevice. What? Which is also a crevice.
Starting point is 00:36:32 What's a crevice? Well crevice is, it's gotta be vertical. Really? A crevice is usually vertical, that's right. It cannot be a horizontal. If it's horizontal, is it a crevasse? Wait, what do you mean horizontal and vertical? A crevice, you see a...
Starting point is 00:36:46 If there's two objects and you're gonna squeeze between them, it's vertical, you're not laying down and horizontally going through it. Has to be upright. Which one is that, a crevice? Yeah, that's a crevice. And a crevice is two separate things that are not connected.
Starting point is 00:37:01 So you're sneaking through sideways like this? Yes. And if you lay down... And they're not connected. Crevice is not connected. These you're sneaking through sideways like this. Yes. And if you lay down. And they're not connected. Crevice is not connected. These are two things close to each other, creating a crevice. A nook is part of one object.
Starting point is 00:37:13 Here's, I don't know if this helps, but I know that people sometimes in their house, they make a reading nook. That does not help, that hurts. No, it doesn't, because it's just like a little indentation. It's a little corner or something. Well, there's a breakfast nook a breakfast nook. I'm eating nook. Okay, so it's yeah So it is it is it is like the little the little hole or the little little divot. Yes in whatever So that one we just don't know what a cranny is. No
Starting point is 00:37:40 No No Yeah, what could it be? I'm confusing it with granny so much. Yeah. I can't escape. They're different words. Is it the difference between the vertical? Maybe. Is that the horizontal one? Like if it's on the ground, is it a cranny? I don't see many crannies. Just in the English Muffins. I don't know another cranny out there. Can we get a, how many crannies. Just in the English muffins. I don't know another cranny out there. Can we get a... how many crannies are there in the world? Well if you count the muffins there's unlimited. Yeah cuz they keep making more all the time. I think we're
Starting point is 00:38:17 I think we're stumped here. When I image search cranny it literally they don't exist. A small crack or crevice? Right now, now go to images and you won't find an image of a of whatever cranny. I'm gonna search for a cranny to be honest with you. I promise you it's safe because all you're gonna get is pictures of a building that says nooks and cranny. I mean there's, there is no, oh I found one. I found a cranny and it's literally just a crack in the ground. I mean it's, it's so it is. Okay, alright, okay. It's gotta be small though. It is so small. It's just a crack in the ground. I mean, it's so it is. Okay, all right, okay. It's gotta be small though. It is so small.
Starting point is 00:38:47 But it's a crack. It's a crack. So you can't fit through it. No. Cravasse. You can go through. You can go right through a cravasse. Well, you might have to squeeze.
Starting point is 00:38:54 Oh, for sure. Otherwise it's a hallway. Yeah. That's right, and that's not what we're talking about. No. But a cranny is a teeny little crack you walk on. Teeny little crack. Wait, you know when you see the picture of the desert
Starting point is 00:39:05 and it's so arid and there's all those cracks in the ground? Cranies. Cranies. Yep. OK. We did it. One more hour, we moving on. Let's do one more.
Starting point is 00:39:16 OK, great. What is the difference between a path, a trail, and a walkway? Well, a trail's outdoor. And it's like rocks or dirt. A trail has been established before you get there. A trail has been trail blazed. Well, all three of those though have been. Well, but there's no, there's no.
Starting point is 00:39:38 I feel like a path is more formal than a trail. 100%. Yeah. It may be paved. That's the point. That's the point, Andrew. A trail is in nature. And a walkway has nothing to do with nature at all. Nothing to do with nature. In fact, oftentimes it's electrified. It's a moving automated walkway. This shouldn't belong in this question. Now I'm with you. We're sitting here talking about nature and they're like, what about a walkway? Get
Starting point is 00:40:04 out of here. Why can't we get those in other places? Why is it why is the airport the only place that why is there a stranglehold of monopoly on the moving walkway? Why at stadiums there are there not are there not moving? Those things are gigantic. Did the airports invent them and they have a patent? They might have the patent. I'm on it. Um, That was a joke. Um, that was a joke. Um, alright. A path though, listen, I've been on trails that have part of the trail paved. And it feels like you're cheating. That is cheating. But we could easily pave a whole trail. Yes. And it's so much easier to walk on. I think if it's paved it's not a trail. Yes. Well, I mean, and it's so much easier to walk on. I think if it's paved,
Starting point is 00:40:45 it's not a trail. I really believe that. I think when you're on a trail and you get to a little paved portion, you have just exited the trail until that paved part. You're on a path now. I am. You're on a path agreement here. A trail is like there's there's bushes on the left and on the right and whatever, but there's dirt from people before you clearing the way. I also say this, a trail cannot be infinitely wide. No, no, no, no way. There is a- A walkway can be pretty wide.
Starting point is 00:41:13 You can have a walkway between a building- There's a trail like that. ... between two buildings and it's super wide. Yeah. Trail's like two people wide? Two people wide. You've got to... You can't pass someone going the other direction without...
Starting point is 00:41:25 Turning like you're entering some sort of... At least forcibly having to recognize them. You know what I mean? Like, you know I'm passing someone. It's not like, oh, I didn't even see that person on the trail. Then you're not on a trail. Figured it out. That was easy.
Starting point is 00:41:41 Got it taken care of. Taking a break. No, airports do not have a patent on the moving walkwaysways by the way, then why can't they be other places? Maybe we lost a blueprint. We don't know how to make them anymore. All right, taking a break hitting the draft What's going on spit wands Do you want to celebrate with and stay connected with the people in your life who are living far away?

If Disneyland or theme parks had moving walkways that went between rides? I've thought this and my children have talked about this in the line to the ride.
Starting point is 00:43:42 Oh, just make the line that way. Make the line chairs. Just move them. Just slowly move them. I don't know. Just relax. Benches or whatever. What, do they dump you out on the end?
Starting point is 00:43:52 You can stand up. It's all right. It would be like an escalator where once it gets to the end, that chair just goes back into the... But imagine... And so it's like at a grocery store when you put your food down on the little food walk.
Starting point is 00:44:03 And so it senses when there's another person up there. Exactly. And just moves you forward. Yeah, it's just moving you one person at a time. Not hard. That doesn't sound that bad. No, it's pretty great. OK.
Starting point is 00:44:17 The Spitballers Draft. Well, today we are drafting the best characters ever played by Tom Hanks, who has been in so many movies, shows, whatever. Tom Hanks, best characters, Jason, you have the very first pick, and a lot to choose from. Yeah, there's a lot to choose from. I feel like there's a one-on-one, at least for our generation.
Starting point is 00:44:37 I think there's two. I agree that there are two. I think there's three. Well, that's good, because you have the third pick. But Forrest Gump is iconic. The entire movie is Tom Hanks. He is. Are you just listing things, or is that your pick?
Starting point is 00:44:53 Yeah, that's my pick. We want to know what you pick. Forrest Gump is what I believe is the one on one. He had to have won the Oscar for that, right? I'm going to say he did. So Forrest Gump, award winning character, Academy Award, and so it was the- Possibly, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:12 No, I declared it. But yeah, Forrest Gump. It is correct. Boom! Yeah. Yeah. Best actor and best picture. Well then I'm gonna go with Woody. Yeah, those are the two. Yeah, okay. I'm gonna go with Woody
Starting point is 00:45:23 from Toy Story, spanning more than just one one easily move. You certainly get more movies So I'll go with Woody. I I thought you'd take Woody and I'd end up with Forrest Gump, but those were the top two to me Man, there's like what the Toy Story Franchise has become is it's wild. Are you happy that they've made that many? Yeah, is that a good thing or a bad thing? No, I think it's good. I mean, they're working on five apparently.
Starting point is 00:45:54 They are? There are those that believe that they should have stopped after three I think. Yeah, I think the end of three was perfection. But four was still good. It wasn't amazing, but 4 was still good. It wasn't amazing, but it was still, I enjoyed it. It took away from the dominance of the 3 though. That's how, it does affect the legacy.
Starting point is 00:46:13 Yeah, but I'm not. It's like the whole Star Wars thing. Exactly, eventually. You can't keep coming out with them. You keep printing the same thing over and over and over and eventually it grows tiresome. You dig too far into the mountain. Yeah, but you can go back to Toy Story over and eventually it grows tiresome. You dig too far into the mountain. Yeah, but you can go back to Toy Story 3 and watch it
Starting point is 00:46:29 and you're like, oh, this is great. Yeah, look. But I don't want to because the fourth ruined it. Difference of opinion, but the point is I have Woody. Yeah, it's a very good pick. I'm going with two here. So my first pick here is, hopefully you guys know the picture, because I'm going to go with the name.
Starting point is 00:46:51 You know the name? Carl Hanratty. Oh, you're done. You're right, I do. Dude, that's catch. Knock, knock. Who's there? That's catch me if you can, right?
Starting point is 00:47:00 Yes, it is. Absolutely. Carl Hanratty was, there's no way that wouldn't have been my next pick. In fact, I will go so far as to say that would have been my second pick over Woody. I told you there was three. All right, you win this round.
Starting point is 00:47:12 But there's really one. That one's much slower on my list. Oh, man. Kiss Me If You Can is a perfect movie. And Tom Hanks is so good and so very funny in that movie. Knock, knock. Yeah, see? Oh, it's so good.
Starting point is 00:47:25 It's fun to say. It's fun to say. And now I don't even know how to play the game for the draft here, so I'll just take the one I wanna take. It's, this is a, I feel like this movie has been sort of lost in the shuffle, just lost to time, but I watched it you know not like last month or anybody but somewhat recently and was reminded how good it is and in
Starting point is 00:47:53 this movie his name is Michael Sullivan it is and he is the character from Road to Perdition okay listen I want to talk about that movie yes I want to talk about that oh man they're impassionate. Dude, it's great! Never seen it. Road to Perdict. Oh my gosh, Jason, you are so lucky. Talk to me. It's Paul Newman. Yes. That's- I don't know who that is. Oh yes you do. You don't know Paul Newman? You absolutely know Paul Newman. I'm looking him up. So it's Paul Newman. And not just for the dressings. And Tom Hanks. Oh yeah, the dressing guy. I remember when, I remember when that movie came out and I thought people would forget it. It's the mobster move I have no idea. I genuinely thought this movie would be forgotten in this draft
Starting point is 00:48:32 That that is an amazing pick and that movie is very very good very very I am so envious Jason that you can go home tonight and watch Road to Perdition for the first time no wait Do you know anything? I don't know anything about it. I'm not gonna tell you anything about it. I can't imagine I'm gonna do it, Mike. I don't think I'm gonna watch it. I promise you will love this movie. Oh, hey, you know what?
Starting point is 00:48:54 Time out. Oh yeah, we do. Hold up, wait a minute. We have an update. Where's our breaking news? Give us the breaking news here. Those buttons don't work here. Oh, those aren't set up here.
Starting point is 00:49:03 Oh, that's quite a shame Do do do do do do do so Last time we follow through last time on the spitballers podcast We had I had a very deep desire to know my blood type and and it was impossible. Oh, oh this breaking news and it was impossible. Oh, oh, this breaking news. This just in, the spitballers crew all tested their blood and all know our blood type. Now, not without some apprehension.
Starting point is 00:49:34 Well, there was blood everywhere. That is not a joke. First of all, there was blood everywhere. You have to do a little finger prick, which is the whole reason I tried to find a way out of this. And you really tried to find a way out of it after all of us were doing it. You felt the peer pressure because all of our blood was spilling. It was a group effort.
Starting point is 00:49:54 Jeremy's blood was everywhere. He couldn't stop bleeding. Jeremy just bled all over the table. This is a finger prick. I don't know how hard you have... He's got more blood than average. No, because this was not just, I couldn't tell you at the time. But I still have the mark.
Starting point is 00:50:13 Oh, I still have my mark, too. Those lancets are like little swords. They're so intense. I did a keto diet for like two years. So I'm testing my blood frequently. This thing was not just a tiny finger prick. This thing, I thought it hit me in the fingernail. I thought it went through my finger.
Starting point is 00:50:34 It makes my butt clench right now talking about it. Jason went to another room, turned the light out, and did it there. I had to. I kept trying. And then came back with blood all over his hand. And did it there. I had to. I kept trying. And then came back with blood all over his hand. Just covered in blood. He's like he's a murder scene. I mean I don't know. And he's trying to collect it as it drips off. But you know your blood
Starting point is 00:50:55 type. I'm O positive. So there you go. And you two, congratulations on your great grades. We're A plus. You are A plus. That's right. We have, I think Mike and I were the only A positives in the office. It was a wild time, but we got it figured out. And now, Jason, you need to figure out how to rent Road to Perdition. I am telling you, man. It's a good movie.
Starting point is 00:51:16 I am telling you, you are going to like this movie. All right, you're going to have to remind me, because I can't do it tonight, and I will not remember tomorrow. All right, I'll follow up Woody with what I would say is like on the Forrest Gump level of iconic performances by Tom Hanks, where he owns the screen the majority of the movie,
Starting point is 00:51:33 and it's just too iconic of a time in history for him to be in that movie. I'm taking Chuck Nolan in Cast Away. I'm taking Chuck Nolan in Cast, the movie was Tom Hanks on the screen. The whole movie. It was, yes, yes. I'm not saying the movie was the best movie that's ever been made,
Starting point is 00:51:50 but it was a good movie. It should be seen one time. I don't care if you take Helen Hunt, you don't like Mad About You? It's like, uh. She's pretty annoying. I liked Helen Hunt. It's like Mary Steenburgen in The Third Back of the Future. Oh my god.
Starting point is 00:52:11 Could have done without. Could have done without. How dare you compare her to that? That's a little too far. Mad About You's all right. Mad About You was good. She was. She's made for TV.
Starting point is 00:52:20 What was? Is that not a movie star? Yeah, that's all okay Jason you are back up on the clock Mike has Carl Hanratty from catch me if you can and Michael Sullivan for road to perdition hot start I've got Woody and check no one from castaway Jason has Forrest Gump from Forrest Gump. I do I'm going to go with Someone that he played that is an iconic person. Someone near and dear to all of our hearts because he created a land of wonder and magic.
Starting point is 00:52:56 Really? Yeah, I am taking his portrayal of Walt Disney. Oh. Tom Hanks at Saving Mr. Banks. I had no idea where that was going. Saving Mr. Banks. Walt Disney. it was neat to see him come to life. He's played a couple of real life people Yeah, that he has just done so well at and I really want to take the next one Just to stick it to Mr. Holloway. Oh
Starting point is 00:53:22 But I'm not going to. Oh, oh What is happening? Instead. So you did take a? I took Walt Disney. OK. OK. And then I'm going to take Captain Miller
Starting point is 00:53:35 from Saving Private Ryan. OK. OK. Very classic movie. I'm getting different styles here. We got real. We got war. We've got, you know.
Starting point is 00:53:47 Saving. Well, I'm talking about my three different picks. Sorry. I was like, how did Forrest Gump save? So, all right. So many movies that he's been in. So many good potential picks here. I think the Saving Private Ryan pick
Starting point is 00:54:02 would have been my next one. I'm gonna go with Josh Baskin in Big. I'm going Tom Hanks in big. That was one of the movies that I watched so many times as a kid. Special place in my heart. Special movie. Really cool movie. I, I'm surprised you had the last name. When I was on IMDB, he's just listed as Josh. Yep, Josh Baskin. I had to Google, it was on my list. And sadly, as I deleted Josh Baskin off my list, good pick by the way,
Starting point is 00:54:34 I realized there was someone I wanted so much more than Captain Miller. Well, you can see if it gets bad. I've already got my last pick. Planned, fellas, there's no way you're picking him and there's no way I'm not. Okay, what? It's not me. It pick. Play on, fellas. There's no way you're picking them, and there's no way I'm not. OK. It's not me.
Starting point is 00:54:47 It's up to you, Mike. Mike, you have two picks. You have two picks. All right. I don't remember how to say his last name in this, because it's been so long since I've seen it. But it's Jimmy Dugan? Yeah, that's the one I wanted.
Starting point is 00:55:00 What? It's Dugan. How would you think that was not in play? It's a league of their own own by the way. No, no No, that's not my last pick. I said, that's the one I wanted Okay, okay, my last pick is you guys won't take is your last pick wacky Maybe is it don't you is it its own thing? I had already which No! No! Take it, Mike. It's its own thing, man! Take it, man.
Starting point is 00:55:25 I had already, which, producers, can we get back to work? I messaged Jeremy three minutes ago, and I said, am I allowed to take 100% David S. Pumpkins, baby? Yes, it's a great one of the best big characters of all time! One of the best characters of all time. Any questions? It's an SNL character with Tom Hanks. When you clarified in our Slack channel
Starting point is 00:55:53 that you wanted characters, not movie characters, I 100% assumed that just meant you were taking Devin S. David S. Pumpkins. David S. Pumpkins. And I was, and I did. Oh, I thought for sure that would come to me. So now you get neither one. He took both of yours.
Starting point is 00:56:05 Great picks, Mike. I mean, fantastic work over there. Well, that means that I have Woody, Chuck Nolan from Castaway, Josh Baskin from Big, and I will close it out with Jim Lovell from Apollo 13. Ironically, just watched a full real documentary. Oh, on Apollo 13? On Apollo 13.
Starting point is 00:56:23 I highly recommend it, Mike. What service is that? I believe it's an Apple TV documentary. Ooh, on Apollo 13? On Apollo 13. I highly recommend it, Mike. What service is that? I believe it's an Apple TV documentary. I'm on it. Actually, no, it's Netflix. It's a Netflix documentary. Okay. I actually know it's Hulu.
Starting point is 00:56:34 Well, look, just search for it. You'll find it. That story in real life. Apollo 13 Survival? I don't know if that's it. That's 2024. That's it. Yeah yeah I'm in on this yeah you got it you got to watch it it's so good dude I'm watching that
Starting point is 00:56:52 tonight yeah that that is the one it's all real footage like a bunch of unseen footage from the real events but look Apollo 13 outstanding movie. Yeah he's fantastic. How long does footage get to continue to say unseen? I don't know why. Cause eventually like oh everyone's seen that this unseen footage. Yeah it's like when the Jordan documentary came out they're like we got tons of footage no one's ever seen. Like who it's 25 years. What do you mean you've never seen it? Because it's on like a home video or a home camcorder. but it's just all it is When they say it it gets me all right all right guys
Starting point is 00:57:30 This I'm out is an awesome Pick not only is it such a great pick now. It was such a great pick the last time I made it and because I made it Robert Lang She code welcome back to the squad We're gonna be solving riddles and finding treasure that move with that mullet and hair both suck If I swear I promise you if he did not have that haircut the movie would have done great in the box office The first movie was awful the first time in the box office. I watched the movie.
Starting point is 00:58:05 It was awful. The first time in the history of movies where the makeup artist ruined a film. Ruined it. That mullet. Do you think he looked in the mirror and was like, seriously? That's it. That's the look? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:19 Nobody took Mr. Rogers? No, that was the one I wanted, but I've never seen it. It was a good movie. So I don't know his. I'm sure he did great. Paul Edgecombe and Green Mile. That's the last one I would have taken if I couldn't go, David Pumpkins, was going to be Mr. White from That Thing You Do. Yeah, that was on the list.
Starting point is 00:58:36 There's a lot of great movies. It's funny that he was Michael Sullivan in Road to Perdition because he was also Sully. Captain Sully. Yeah, pro tip. Don't watch that movie the night before you have an airplane flight the next day. Watch it on the flight.
Starting point is 00:58:52 Or don't watch it on the plane either. I am going to. What you do, hold on. You watch that movie when you take a boat ride. And then when you take a flight, you watch Richard Phillips and Captain Phillips when he was the boat captain. I'm the captain now.
Starting point is 00:59:10 Where do you watch Apollo 13 then? Underground. That makes sense, the math is checking out here. All right. I genuinely believe that a role I'm about to say, you guys probably didn't see the movie, they might not know the character, therefore, but I think it might be his best character he's ever done. I hope it's just like he did Tom Hanks cameo.
Starting point is 00:59:34 No, it was from the movie The Lady Killers. Professor G.H. Doar. If you haven't seen this. I've not seen the movie. I remember when it was coming out. I don't think it was very popular. It wasn't. It wasn't a huge hit. Oh, I remember this. You don't seen the movie. I remember when it was coming out. I don't think it was very popular. It wasn't it wasn't a huge hit I remember this the poster but his character and there's like nothing he ever Before or after it's a dark comedy Crime thriller. Yeah, and and he is oh, it's a Cohen movie. Yeah Yeah, it's a Cohen brothers. I'll watch this. You watch Road to Perdition. OK, but just be amazed at his character,
Starting point is 01:00:07 because he doesn't do anything like this. In all the movies we just picked, in the undrafted list, he doesn't play caricatures, funny, like, absurd characters. He's caricature-ture. And he is. He is in this. And he does it phenomenally. If he looks like that and doesn't talk like Colonel
Starting point is 01:00:23 Sanders, I'm going to be baffled. Oh Oh you'll love how he talks. Okay perfect. All right that'll do it for today's draft. What did we learn today? Oh man. By the way I was trying to learn the exact number of movies that Tom Hanks has been in and no matter how many times I searched it just kept saying over a hundred. I can't get an exact number. His IMDB actor credits is at 101. Oh well that's over a hundred. I also learned that apparently the word importances is is a real world. And I learned what a cranny is. That's what I learned. Alright that'll do it. Hope you enjoyed the episode. Thank you for tuning in supporting the show, leaving review, telling your friends, all the good stuff.
