Hey,
I was wondering if anyone knew a really fast way to plot A LOT of
psuedo-randomly distributed spheres anything above 10,000 just takes
too long.

I don't know what you've tried or how much time would be considered
acceptable in your case, but

Graphics3D[Table[Sphere[RandomReal[{-100, 100}, 3]], {10000}]]

took about 5 seconds of real time on my machine, and

Graphics3D[Table[Sphere[RandomReal[{-100, 100}, 3]], {100000}]]

took about 47 seconds.
