Last week's episode had the greatest artwork of any episode we have ever released

Anywho, I don't know what you do when you, where you get this podcast, but last week's episode had the greatest artwork of, any episode we have ever released. Because, I do the audio portion of this show. I spend three or four hours, sometimes more, putting, in.

>> Mike: You do a very good job.

>> Darin: Oh, thank you, Mike. I appreciate it.

>> Mike: It's a pleasure to listen to.

>> Darin: Well, thank you. I, you know, I enjoy it. If I didn't, I would just slap it together and throw it out the door, put an open and a close on it and, and call it a baby and there you go. But I enjoy putting the commercials into it and, and bleeping out the parts that need bleeping and all that fun stuff. And then my buddy, my little brother, my best friend Mike here.

>> Mike: What up?

>> Darin: Does. He handles all the video elements, the. The clips that are on Instagram and the YouTubes and the tick tocks.

>> Mike: If you assume parts of the show with your eyes, that's Mike. That's me. If you consume the show with your ears, with only your ears, that's Darren.

>> Darin: That's me. So anyway, Mike does the graphic, the artwork for each episode, and I literally spit coffee out of my mouth. I didn't. He doesn't run the artwork by me now. I don't run.

>> Mike: That's true.

>> Darin: Yeah. Yeah. I don't run the episodes by him. He trusts me with the show.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: I don't. You, know. Hey, make sure I see what the artwork is. My God. The artwork for episode 272. Pancakes and outhouses. I spit coffee out of my mouth. I loved it so much. I want that on a T shirt. I want that on a coffee mug. I want to print. Yes. Posters.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: Irritable dad Syndrome. And I don't want any explanation.

>> Mike: Are those the official mascots of the.

>> Mike: Of the.

>> Darin: Sure. Yeah, they are now.

>> Mike: They look like they can quack.

>> Darin: Are now.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: That is our brand new Irritable dad syndrome mascot. So I'm so excited for this. This is like in the. Do you watch the Avengers?

>> Mike: yes.

>> Darin: This is like the new phase of Irritable dad syndrome where this is our new team. This is of mascots. We haven't named them yet.

>> Mike: Right.

>> Darin: We are going to name that by next week. We'll have them named.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: So, but yeah, listen, this is all a work in progress. A whip, as I like to call it. So coming soon, I hope that we have a poster, T shirt and a coffee mug with this artwork. That was on episode 272. Yeah, I haven't been this excited since. You need to learn more words. Became a T shirt.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: And that was early, early on in the podcast.

>> Mike: So a little. A little inside baseball. Is m that the right phrase?

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: This is how the sausage is made.

>> Mike: Yeah.


AI prompts based on topics of last show included Gumby pancakes and ouses

>> Mike: We. We made our. I made an AI prompt based on the topics of our last show, which included Gumby pancakes and ouses.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: And if you haven't yet, you just go to. Go to our website. If you, if you listen on Spotify and Apple, I know that they show the artwork as you're listening to the episode, but some people listen on weird apps that are running on their watch or whatever and you can't See it just go to the website and it's what AI thinks is Gumby for some reason. There's two of them.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Mike: And they're enjoying some nice looking pancakes with a weird fruity drink.

>> Darin: It looked like there's Biscoff cookies on there, too.

>> Mike: On a picnic table next to an outhouse. But my favorite thing of the picture is the pointy head, the eyes. And it's clearly people in a suit. And I never told AI that to, put people in a suit.

>> Mike: Right.

>> Mike: And they have big eyes. And one of them has one eye going one way and the other eye going a slight, slightly different way.

>> Darin: Is that one me? I think that one's me.

>> Mike: I think he looks. They both look.

>> Mike: Right.

>> Mike: Pissed. Right. And scared at the same time.

>> Darin: I'm hoping soon, in the near future, we have these elements available to you. Speaking, of last week's episode, I was looking at our Tick Tock page. Somebody commented. We ran a clip of me talking about the Big Kahuna Burger. And I said that it was Jules and Marcellus that went in. It was Vincent Vega and Jules Verne. And I'm like, how did I screw that up? Because I own the movie. I have the poster. My son has the poster. In our house, we have two copies of the Pulp Fiction poster. And I watched that movie with him not, that long ago. And so, my apologies. This podcast, if we are not accurate. We do everything we can within our power to become more accurate. So my apologies. I accidentally called the character there.

>> Mike: I. On character.

>> Darin: Another thing about last week, Mike and I had so much fun talking about Gumby. We're going to talk about another episode of Gumby later on in this episode. So you. If you turn this episode off now, you're out of your mind. Yeah, yeah, I was on the moon.


Mike went to see the Gallagher brothers in Chicago this past Thursday

>> Mike: Let's kick off the, Oasis stories before we go to Gumby. Let's knock it out.

>> Darin: Mike went to see the Gallagher brothers. So the Gallagher brothers, did they take the pumpkin or the watermelon and hit it with the hammer? The sledgehammer.

>> Mike: No, no, no, no.

>> Darin: Is that a different.

>> Mike: That's a whole different.

>> Darin: They're not related to that Gal.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: No, I saw Gal. I'm sorry.

>> Mike: Yes.

>> Darin: May I? I saw Gallagher.

>> Mike: Stop you if I.

>> Darin: No, I learned from.

>> Mike: You saw him live.

>> Darin: I saw Gallagher in the early 90s at Freedom Hall Civic center in Johnson City, Tennessee. And he comes out and he was so excited because he said, 20 years ago, I was here opening up for Kenny Rogers. I'm now here on my own. And anyway, whatever. He was hilarious. But his daughter, tried to start a wave with the thousands of people going. And God love her, I don't think she got more than 20 people to do the wave. But she did not stop for the half hour, 45 minutes. We waited before the show started. Like, good for you, little. Jenny Gallagher, Oasis.

>> Mike: So we went to the Chicago's. Me and, a friend of the show, Dan. Friend and friend of the show.

>> Mike: He.

>> Mike: He appears in video in one episode. We didn't know how to turn the video off or his audio on. So it looks like a hostage video.

>> Darin: God love it. You. You spent a good hour trying to make sure that Dan could hear. Let's make sure Dan can hear the episode, but don't worry about if Rick from Seth. The Culture on the Skids.

>> Mike: That's true.

>> Darin: Is. Is, audio, accessible to the podcast. But yeah, let's make sure Dan is taken care of. So the Oasis brothers still said, I like Dan.

>> Mike: Yeah, the Oasis brothers.

>> Darin: Larry.

>> Mike: Chicago. Larry and Kenny. Oasis. Ch. Was the first show of the American leg of the tour and it was also the day. The anniversary. The 16th anniversary of when they split.

>> Darin: Oh, okay.

>> Mike: Because, Oasis fans will know that Noel Gallagher basically quit the band right before a concert.

>> Mike: Right.

>> Mike: So they had to cancel the concert and that was it. They were done.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: So, that was a concern that that was going to happen again. And they went to Chicago, then they went to New York and now they're on their way to. I think they're playing a few shows in New York. They're going to go to. And they're going to go to la and then, ah, over there. Then Mexico.

>> Darin: Dunk. Duncan.

>> Mike: Duncan, Georgia. Duncan, Georgia.

>> Darin: Yeah, I'm looking at their tour dates now. I think they're going to be in Shreveport, Louisiana.

>> Mike: They're going to be at the BUC EE's outside of,

>> Darin: It's a grand opening.

>> Mike: It's a grand opening. That's right.

>> Darin: They're cutting the fukin ribbon.

>> Mike: So I.

>> Darin: They're gonna throw maracas.

>> Mike: I didn't. I'm glad that I was. These are all jokes that I wasn't listening last week. I wasn't looking at the news before I went because I wasn't aware of apparently what a hellhole of crime Chicago is. right now, I guess the National Guard is being pushed into Chicago to clean up all the crime. And I will say this. It has. Chicago has been and continues to be the cleanest. One of the nicest yes. Cities.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: So both of the last times I've been to Chicago, when I took, when we went to see U2 in 2015 and then just this show, with the Oasis Brothers. yeah. this past Thursday ended up being out on the streets of Chicago at about 1:30, 2:00 clock in the morning trying to find food. The original time with Andrew, when he was seven, was when we were eating donuts with the homeless people.

>> Mike: Yeah.


Chicago is a safe, fun, happy city. Everywhere you look is beautiful architecture

>> Mike: on the steps of City hall or something.

>> Darin: That may have been a wise or unwise choice maybe per chance.

>> Mike: But we're fine, we're alive, we're happy.

>> Darin: It puts, hair on your chest.

>> Mike: And then, you know, we were out, after the Oasis show trying to find a place to eat because we couldn't get back to the hotel before 2 o'.

>> Mike: Clock.

>> Mike: Anyway, I digress. It's a safe, fun, happy city.

>> Darin: My company is in Chicago and a couple of times a year I go up there for meetings or events or something. And every time I'm there and I love the people who I work with, but usually they're, usually they got other things to do. I will walk five or six, seven miles just up and down the streets of Chicago. Everywhere you look, there's something to do. A beautiful picture.

>> Mike: Yes.

>> Darin: Everywhere you look is beautiful architecture.

>> Mike: Uh-huh.

>> Darin: The lights, everything reflects off of the lake.

>> Mike: Yes.

>> Darin: And the people have been fantastic. Chicago is a wonderful, wonderful place. Every meal I've ever had in Chicago is just delicious. But the, the Uber drivers, the. Well, except for the one who tried to take me one mile and charge me for the whole trip. Whatever. The Uber drivers have been great, except for one. And the waitresses and waiters have been great. And I love everything about Chicago.

>> Mike: So we get to the Chicago's, we check in.

>> Darin: It's my kind of town.

>> Mike: We had tickets to the Oasis pop up shop in every city. They have a special fan store popping up and you don't have to have tickets to get in, but if you want to skip the three hour wait.

>> Dave: Oh.

>> Mike: And get in within five minutes, you, you use the ticket.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Mike: And it's basically a huge merch shop. it's kind of cool. Got some things there.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And where you got that hat?

>> Mike: yes.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: And then, went to the hotel and we decided to walk out to the Navy Pier.

>> Darin: Now I love the Navy Pier.

>> Mike: I joined a WhatsApp group of Chicago people. WhatsApp going to Oasis.

>> Mike: And I was using that to help guide where we needed to Go. Because here's the thing. We had general admission, but there was some controversy about whether we had the really, like, good general mission, like, up front or the general admission. That's, like, way in the back with the circus. We didn't even know if they were split in twain as they were.

>> Mike: Right.

>> Mike: So we decided to go to the Navy Pier. As we're going to the Navy Pier, the WhatsApp group keeps posting pictures of people, getting pictures with Noel. And he happened to keep being about 20 minutes to 30 minutes behind us. Like we. We were seeing pictures of him with people near places that we just were. And then Liam was doing the same thing the next day, and Bonehead, so whatever city they're in at the time, they're just wandering around, just, being people.

>> Darin: How can they? Do they have security? I would hope.

>> Mike: No, no, that's crazy.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Mike: No, all the pictures. Noel was him by himself. Liam doesn't need security.

>> Darin: But you and I can walk around without security.

>> Mike: That's.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: The Gallagher brothers. I'm surprised that they don't have security.

>> Mike: Well, they may have snipers somewhere. But I'm just saying, all the pictures, it didn't look like they. They're just walking around.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Mike: Actually, ah, no, because one of the pictures with Bonehead was in a. And it was in a, an elevator.

>> Darin: Which one's Bonehead?

>> Mike: He's a guitar player. One of the guitar. There's like three guitar players, and they call him Bonehead. He calls himself Bonehead.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Mike: If you get his autograph, it's Bonehead. anyway.


M. Near went to see Oasis at the Navy Pier on Thursday

>> Mike: Okay, go ahead.

>> Mike: So we went to the Navy Pier. Another thing that I knew was happening in each city, they're sending up drones to make a 3D oasis.

>> Darin: Right, right, right. Drones are the way of the future.

>> Mike: And I thought, well, if they're going to do it in Chicago, it's either going to be at the Navy Pier or visible from the Navy.

>> Darin: Oh, yeah.

>> Mike: And we found out through the WhatsApp group through proposed is as things were getting dark, there's a fireworks show every.

>> Darin: Night at the Navy Pier.

>> Mike: At the Navy Pier.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Mike: So I told Dan. I was like, they're probably going to have the drones go up. And as we're sitting there, we just noticed this fuzzy white line go up next to the stadium and then spread out into Oasis. It looked really cool. Got pictures of it. It was up for about 10 or 15 minutes. you could tell who was there for Oasis and who were regular Chicago people, because everybody. That was for the Oasis was up taking pictures and. And regular Chicago people are like, yeah. So there's a band with their name over there.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And they smelled like hot dogs.

>> Mike: Yeah. It's like Thursday.

>> Mike: Yeah. Yeah.

>> Darin: So every day in my company, I hear traffic's, crazy because Taylor Swift's in town or tonight's the first, Bears game or the.

>> Mike: Right.

>> Darin: Whoever's coming. Yeah, there's always something happening in Chicago.

>> Mike: So when I have general admission, I am on a mission to get as close to the stage as I.

>> Darin: You and me both. I get there four, five hours early.

>> Mike: So I saw in the group that the lineup was allowed to start by the venue at 8.

>> Mike: Am am and people said, well, we're going to be there at 5. And I told Dan, I was like, I'm just going to tell you right now, I'm crazy. I'm not 5am m crazy.

>> Mike: Right.

>> Mike: You know, but we did decide, we'll just get up, we'll get up, we'll have breakfast and then we'll just mosey on over to M. The stadium and see what's what. We get over there, there's probably like two or three hundred people in line. And we find out from one of the security people, thank God he was out there. He looked at our tickets, he said, oh, you guys are in the pit. You guys are up front. And we're like, what about this line down here? And he said, I don't know why they're there. He's like, are they there for shade? And I, Because I was, I was on the WhatsApp group with a bunch of people in that line. I said, no. In the UK, the first 4,000 or 5,000 people got in the pit. Everybody else was in the back end. And he said, no, your ticket says you're in the pit. You're gonna line up at a separate gate. You go in through that gate, you get a wristband and you're in the pit. So me and Dan were like, awesome. Okay, we're just gonna go hang out, going to a place called, Benny's, and had a few beers there with other Oasis fans that were from Cincinnati, of course. And we just chilled and enjoyed the day. And then we ended up going to the show and we went in, there was a huge line. When we got there, it was like mobs of people everywhere. We get in our line and they let us in and it's like we were within 10 rows of the. The stage.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Mike: Right under the O night.

>> Darin: And well, for that money, Oasis awesome to, It's awesome to be there because you spent a little bit of money on those tickets.

>> Mike: A little bit.

>> Darin: You went to see Oasis.

>> Mike: So here's the deal. I told this when I came back, my first reaction was, I. I don't know about general admission anymore. And I'll tell you why.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Mike: because along with standing for the entire show, which I can do, I don't have a problem with that. To do what I want to do, which is get there and get up close, you're standing for a long period of the day. So I was uncomfortable.

>> Mike: Near.

>> Mike: Near the middle of the show, my legs were going numb, my knees were starting to buckle. I had been standing and. Or walking.

>> Darin: Arms are heavy.

>> Mike: Yes.

>> Darin: The knees are weak.

>> Mike: Mom's forgetting.

>> Darin: Moms are sweaty.

>> Mike: M. Since, like, since like 8 o' clock that morning, I'd been walking and standing.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Mike: my body was like, chill. dude. Not to mention. Not to.


There were so many smokers at the Oasis concert that it got annoying

Not to mention the fact that in this ga there were so many smokers of various, sundries. And I'll get to a guy that pissed us off. There was halfway, ah, through the show, a bunch of people behind us got knocked out of the way. some girl fell down. a drunk lady. the guy that she was with. Yes. And they were shoving their way through and I was in their way and the guy said, we got friends up there. And I'm like. I was like, we got friends. Like, get the. I just. I don't want to. I didn't want to talk to him. I wanted to hear what Cecil Oasis was doing up there. so he pushed forward and that basically all he did was get in front of Dan, like, and he was like, right next to me. He starts smoking regular cigarettes, which, yeah, I can handle that. But he was blowing and the way the wind was going, it was going right in my face.

>> Darin: As a former smoker.

>> Mike: Uh-huh.

>> Darin: Does that bother you? More or less?

>> Mike: It's the same as a non smoker at this point.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Mike: No more, no less. Other people were smoking. I told him, the smell doesn't bother me. I actually kind of enjoy it a little bit. But after that concert, I was like. It was like. There was so much smoke.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Mike: it was ridiculous. There were people pushing around everything. It got a little. It got a little annoying. we did the Poznan, which. I don't know.

>> Darin: Do you need a prescription for that?

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Mike: So it's during cigarettes, basically. You've seen the videos where the entire general mission and the stands, everyone's jumping in unison.

>> Darin: I have no idea what.

>> Mike: That's the positive. They do it all the time in the uk.

>> Darin: Is it a dance?

>> Mike: Yeah, it's a. It's a. Is it a soccer thing?

>> Darin: Is it a craze that's sweeping the nation?

>> Mike: It is now.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Mike: Now, as of this concert, and Liam was cracking everyone up. He was hilarious, because he doesn't give it. And he's like, to announce this, that we're going to do this. He didn't come out like I would and say, okay, everybody, this is what we're gonna do. He came up to the mic and he said, they're back there telling me that you're not gonna do this. I, tell them you're gonna do it. You're Americans, but, you know, we're all family. Turn around. Unless you don't want to. I don't care. So everyone turns around and we're jumping.

>> Darin: it's like a 20, 25 version of the Hokey Poke.

>> Mike: Exactly. They played for about two hours. Fifteen, something like that. Exceptionally good. Every hit that they had, as I say, they played.

>> Darin: I looked at the set list.

>> Mike: It's incredible.

>> Darin: And, yeah, I was blown away. And I'm not extremely familiar with their catalog. I would have enjoyed the show. I know I would have enjoyed the show, but I'm like. The three songs I wanted to hear were the three songs that they closed with. And have a feeling that, knowing me, I would be like, are they. Are they going to do Wonderwall next? Surely.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: Okay. I guess they're not gonna do Champagne Supernova. I guess just.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Mike: Because the master plan.

>> Darin: I'm so used to going to concerts and them not playing the one song I want to hear. This happens almost every show I go to, so. But, by God, they did the three that I really wanted to hear. And I would have been happy.

>> Mike: So they.

>> Darin: They clam.

>> Mike: They came out to in the bushes, which is what they've been doing forever, ever since the. Standing on the shoulder of giants. That's just how they come out. But it's playing as they walk out.


Absolutely incredible show, Noel. M.Wow. What's the start with that? That thing and the guitars

They're not actually playing it.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Mike: And then they start with hello from Morning Glory, which makes sense. It's about, you know, we're back. It's good to be back.

>> Mike: Right.

>> Mike: And then acquiesce, which is about basically two people getting along despite their differences. And it's much m. Like this. It's a stadium rocker. It's one of their most famous songs. It's one of those Oasis fans lose their Minds over. And then from that right into Morning Glory with. Wow. What's the start with that? That thing and the grading and the guitars. M. And it just, it kept going on and on, on.

>> Darin: It's like, I'm there. Yeah, you are like that guy from the Police Academy movies with your sound effects.

>> Mike: Absolutely incredible show, Noel. You could tell he got emotional a little bit. He got a little, weepy.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Mike: They showed the close ups of, you know, some of his songs. There was a period a lot of bands like U2 does it, where they'll just slam you with a bunch of stuff and then they'll have some acoustic stuff and then they slam you with a bunch of electric stuff after that. M. So the acoustic stuff in the middle was all Noel songs. I decided, I think it's cool Liam just leaves the stage when it's Noel's time. Because what's he gonna do? Just stand there and shake the tambourine?

>> Darin: Grab a tambourine.

>> Mike: M. He just goes in the back. Well, probably playing a switch when they.

>> Darin: Were on Letterman when they did, Live Forever.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: You know, Letterman introduced him and he's still sitting on the floor. Dust himself off and then he sings and then. Yeah.

>> Mike: Fun fact, Dan saw them in a high school gym.

>> Darin: Nice.

>> Mike: When Morning Glory. What's the story? Morning Glory was out because they had just blown up, but they'd still had places they were playing that they were contractually obligated to play. And high school gym was one of them.

>> Darin: I saw Bob Dylan at a gymnasium. Appalachian State University. I'm like, they're putting him in a gym. They pulled down the bleachers. I'm like, I'm sitting in a bleacher.

>> Mike: Yeah, Yeah.

>> Darin: I was.

>> Mike: Did they put the basketball hoops up or they just leave them down?

>> Mike: He.

>> Darin: He shot a three pointer, before he did Like a Rolling Stone.

>> Mike: I don't think you do what they did. I mean, they're brothers. It's not like they never see each other.

>> Mike: Right.

>> Mike: I think, you know, they.

>> Darin: Some people have brothers that they never see. That's.

>> Mike: That's true. That's true.

When I came off the anesthesia, I had chills really bad

Now back to you guys in the studio.

>> Darin: Yeah. So while you were enjoying the concert of the year.

>> Mike: Yeah. Let's talk about your.

>> Darin: Was prepping for a colonoscopy. And guys, if you're my age or older, you've got to do them when your doctor says so. And, I had one five years ago. And the only thing the. And it went fine. It went totally fine. the only thing that I had. And I wouldn't even say go wrong, but when I came off the anesthesia and I got home, I had chills really bad. I mean, my whole body was shivering to the point to where your spine hurt, your neck hurt, your. Your arms hurt from shivering. And you try to stop shivering.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Your body just tries to. It's like, stand still. Still.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And, and Libby had five blankets on me. And I'm like. And then I realized I'm like, I'm not actually cold. And then she called the doctor and they said, oh, yeah, that's natural for that to happen.


Darren: I had two Pine Sol injections before the procedure

>> Mike: So did you have your prep? I have a question before you start.

>> Mike: Yeah, go ahead.

>> Mike: Did you do the liquid? Did you have to drink the pine Sol, or did you do the pills?

>> Darin: I did the. The Pine saw. I had two.

>> Mike: First time I did it, it tasted like cold.

>> Darin: I had two bottles.

>> Mike: Uh-huh.

>> Darin: And it just tasted kind of like cough medicine.

>> Mike: Uh-huh.

>> Darin: And you had to dissolve something on your tongue and then mix it with water and drink that and then two more glasses of water. So you did one of those at 6 o' clock in the evening.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: And then the next one, you get up at 6 in the morning and do it again at 6 in the morning. And you have to have it all out of your system two hours before your procedure, which for me, I had to be there at 12:30.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: So the, the, the prep is what it is.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: I was editing the podcast. I'm like, okay, I'm, not gonna be. I'm gonna put this aside for now. And I went and I did my thing. And like I said, we have three brand new turlets in the house. So that was.

>> Mike: I'm like, oh, did you do a little in each turtle?

>> Darin: No, I just stuck with the one.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: I figured, why tie up all three of them? I went through the procedure. Turns out my doctor is Mike's doctor.

>> Mike: Hello.

>> Darin: So we have that in common.

>> Mike: We sees all the.

>> Darin: We both have the same weed whacker combo and we both have the same ass doctor. That's right. Anyway.

>> Mike: Hm.

>> Darin: I did this procedure. I was starving and Libby took me to ihop.

>> Mike: Yes.

>> Darin: And I went to ihop and they gave me, oxygen. So I did. You'd think that I had a scope down my throat because during the procedure, I had oxygen, through my nose. And it must have been. It must have been cold oxygen because as soon as I was done, my throat felt like I had sand and broken glass in it. I couldn't swallow. I could barely talk and I couldn't. It's like you tried to drink water and it hurt. And so I was so hungry. And I got an omelette and some pancakes and I ate the pancakes. I could barely eat half the omelet. I was hungry enough to finish it, but my throat hurts so bad that I took it home. we got home and then I'm like, I'm going to bed. And then the chills started happening. And then I got this pain in my stomach. Like. Like I had a hula hoop, like a ring around the front of my stomach. Like, I thought that maybe while I was having my procedure, they implanted an alien inside me and my stomach was going to burst open. And that thing was, you know, whatever. And Mike, I was screaming.

>> Mike: By the way, commenters we know they're called xenomorph.

>> Mike: Yeah. Ah, yeah, yeah. What?

>> Darin: Xenomorph.

>> Mike: Xenomorph.

>> Darin: Oh, the thing that came in there.

>> Mike: Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

>> Darin: It's like. Everyone I've talked to says, oh, it was gas. I'm like, whatever. I could. If it was gas, I could not expel it.

>> Mike: I.

>> Darin: No matter what, I could not stand up. I couldn't sit down. I definitely could. I tried laying down and that, I was. Thought I was dying. Like, yeah, I was screaming. And then I couldn't catch my breath because of the sore throat. And then I started having these breathing fits. I'm like, you know, it's like. And I'm panicking. And my wife is a nurse. Whenever she's not concerned, I'm like, okay, this isn't bothering Libby, so I'm going to be fine. She had this hint of concern on her face. Like, I've never seen Darren in this amount of pain. So anyway, she, like, goes. And she gets, she says, here, take the ibuprofen. Then, here's a heating pad. And I laid the heating pad on my stomach.


My son Cameron was coming home from work, and we were out of milk

Oh, my God, it was amazing. M. I woke up, like, three hours later, and the stomach pain was gone. The throat is still, the soreness in my throat went away, but I've been coughing for four days straight. Yeah, I sound like I've been smoking Marlboro cigarettes since I was 4. The thing is, you've got to have your colonoscopy when it's time. When they say to do it. So do it. Take a day off of work. I watched Avengers. Infinity War.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: While I was, While I was recovering. It was great. My son Cameron was coming home from work, and we were out of milk. So I called him up and I texted him, because you don't call people anymore. You call them.

>> Mike: They don't answer the phone.

>> Darin: Nobody answers the phone. Now you got to text him. I said, hey, bud, can you pick up two gallons of milk at the udf? That's a United Dairy Farmers.

>> Mike: Yes.

>> Darin: And he said, yes. So he got the milk, and when he came home, he told us this story, and we were laughing so hard at the story. He puts the milk on the counter. They said something. He was thinking about saying something and then realized what they meant. And then he said something else, and we're laughing so hard. And I said, cameron, for the purpose of the podcast, you said this thing, okay? It's funnier if you said it. You didn't think you said it. it's funny if you said it. He said, okay. So for the purpose of the podcast, this is what happened.

>> Mike: Okay?

>> Darin: He's coming home from work. I said, can you stop by the UDF and get 2 gallons of milk? And he said, yes. So he pulls in, he gets the gallon two gallons of milk. He goes up to the counter, and the clerk said, will that be all for you? And he said, oh, no. This milk is for my whole family.

>> Mike: Okay. All right. Because she means,

>> Darin: She means.

>> Mike: Uh-huh.

>> Darin: Is there anything else you're going to get? He thought she meant, am I gonna go home and drink 2 gallons of milk by myself? See, it's funny. It's funnier that way.

>> Mike: Fun for the whole family.

>> Mike: Yeah.


Time now for the Popeyes story of the week. Have you been to Popeyes?

>> Dave: Time now for the Popeyes story of the week.

>> Darin: last week, Libby and I went to a Popeyes. Have you been to Popeyes?

>> Mike: I've been to Popeye's. I've been through the Popeyes Drive Thru.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: Popeye's has really good chicken.

>> Mike: You gotta have your together when you go through the drive through, you got to know exactly what you want and order it and get out of there.

>> Darin: Yes. Because you, you know, you got to know if you want the mild, if you want the spicy. Do you want the three piece, the four piece? Do you want the, They got the spicy sandwich. They got the regular sandwich. Now you can get the sandwich with bacon on it. I don't recommend that. It doesn't really. It's not really good bacon. It may be at your check. Local listings. Yeah, maybe.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: So we go to Popeyes, and Livy and I both order a, chicken sandwich. Now, you didn't ask. I still prefer the Chick Fil A chicken sandwich. I think Chick Fil A chicken sandwiches. The bomb. Okay, we ordered our chicken, and Libby's like, I'm craving something sweet. And, I said, yeah. And so I went up and I ordered two strawberry pies. Now, the guy who's working the counter, I think started a half hour before we got there. Not like his shift. His employment started. Saying he knew nothing about the place is an understatement. Okay, so. And I don't know why they let him have the register by himself. The best thing I can say about the guy, he was really nice. So I said, I'd like to have two strawberry pies. And he says, okay, okay, okay. So he's looking.

>> Mike: We can do this. We can work together.

>> Darin: This is what we train.

>> Mike: We're going to make it happen.

>> Darin: This is what we trained for. So he's looking at the register, and he says, ah, there should be.

>> Mike: A picture of a strawberry or a pink pie.

>> Darin: okay. I mean, I wish I had a dollar for every time he said, And I wish I had a quarter for every time he said, okay, okay, okay. oh, here. No, no, no. And he's like, okay, that's pie. Is that the apple pie?

>> Mike: Is that different than the.

>> Darin: Is that. Well, I mean, I know it's different than the Starbucks pie. okay. And then he turns around and looks at this nice lady who works there, and he turns and he looks at her, and he pauses. And then he says to himself, I don't remember her name. Looks back at the register.

>> Mike: He said that.

>> Darin: He says, I don't remember her name.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: And he goes, oh, okay.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Apple pie or strawberry pie?

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: and then two.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: And he says, that'll be, fifty, three dollars. That'll be 460. I'm like, okay. So I pay him, and he's okay.

>> Mike: It's a credit card.

>> Darin: Do you want your receipt? Yeah, sure.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: Yeah. Okay.

>> Darin: I'll be right back. He goes in the back and he's looking for the strawberry. And he's looking and he looks some more and he realizes that they don't have any strawberry pies. There aren't any strawberry pies on the rack. And he says, I'll be right back.

>> Mike: Yeah, yeah.

>> Darin: And I see him go back into the freezer and the door closes and I. Wait, wait, is he stuck in the freezer now? Oh, oh, that'd be great. For the purpose of the story.


Popeye ordered two strawberry pies and waited about 10 minutes for them

Yes. They had to, unlock it. No, he comes out and he gets the pies and he puts them into the thing. Right into the. The pie holder? No, the. The deep fryer. The deep fryer. He puts it into the deep fryer. And then he comes and tells me, okay, that'll be like about 10 minutes.

>> Mike: Okay?

>> Darin: And I said, okay. And I'm thinking, usually someone says, we can absolutely get you two strawberry pies, but we have to put them in the deep fryer. And it will be a 10 minute wait. Do you mind? Yeah, that's how that normally goes.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: But he's already.

>> Mike: He's already. You're all in.

>> Darin: At this point, I've already devoted.

>> Mike: Yes.

>> Darin: A half hour to my life. It felt like a half hour.

>> Mike: You and him are in this together.

>> Darin: I've already paid for it. What am I gonna do? I thought if I asked for my money back, by the time I get it, the pies will be ready and cold.

>> Mike: So you have. In this, in this situation, you have two options.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Mike: One is to wait with him for the strawberry pies and take them with you.

>> Mike: Right.

>> Mike: The other is to cut ties, leave, change your name.

>> Darin: I said, that will be fine. Because I felt bad for him. He was trying so hard. And again, I'm convinced it had to have been. He had to have been his first day.

>> Mike: He probably thought, who's gonna come in here and order a strawberry pie, much less 2?

>> Darin: Especially on a Thursday. Yeah. So I go back and Libby's like, what happened? I'm explaining it to, hey, what happened? And yeah. And it was like 12, 13 minutes later. I'm like, oh, my God, where am I? I go up. He's like, your pies are ready. Your pies are ready.

>> Mike: Uh-huh.

>> Darin: And he brings them to me and he said, be careful, they're hot.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Mike: Are they like the McDonald's pies?

>> Darin: yeah, they're like the old McDonald's apple pies.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Mike: He says, but I was thinking like a pie pie.

>> Darin: No, no, no. They're like, the one serving is strawberry and cream cheese.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: And, they're really good.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And he's like, be careful, they're hot. I'm like, well, I would hope so. You just got m. Him right thing.

>> Mike: Yeah. Yeah.

>> Darin: Anyway, so we had our pies and it was delicious. And good luck to him in his future employment. Yeah. One of these days I'm going to go in and his face is going to be on the wall.

>> Mike: Employee.

>> Darin: The employee of the month.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: that's what my hope is for him. Because he kept his cool.

>> Darin: Right. And he figured it out.

>> Mike: He got your pie.

>> Darin: He got me my pie.

>> Dave: Yeah.

>> Darin: Ah, it took a little bit longer.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Than, expected. But even if he had done it in the order that he was supposed to, I still would have waited almost the same amount of time for my pie.

>> Mike: I mean, it's pie.

>> Mike: Yeah. Yeah.

>> Darin: And the deal is Libby and I, we didn't have anywhere else to go. And it's fodder for the podcast.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Dave: This has been the Popeye story of the week.

>> Mike: So I bought an edger.

>> Darin: I noticed that when I pulled in.


You did some edging using an electric weed whacker

>> Mike: Did you see the.

>> Darin: I thought you had. You did some edging.

>> Mike: Yeah. So we've lived in this house.

>> Mike: Since 2011. So for 14 years. I've m edged.

>> Darin: Not never.

>> Mike: Well, that weed whacker that we bought.

>> Mike: we were about the same. Weed whacker?

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Mike: It says it can edge.

>> Mike: Right.

>> Darin: But you got to turn your, you.

>> Mike: Got to turn it. String kept breaking.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Mike: And I went through like, I'm not kidding, four spools of string and got halfway down the sidewalk on one side.

>> Darin: You did not.

>> Mike: I did.

>> Darin: Breaking string on one.

>> Mike: It kept breaking and it, it's messed up. So I said, screw that. I'm gonna go buy an edger. Got one, came home, boy edged the piss out of it. Sparks were flying.

>> Darin: And it's got the metal thing.

>> Mike: Oh, yeah, yeah.

>> Mike: But the same, the same brand. So that same battery that works in the other things.

>> Darin: Oh, okay.

>> Mike: Goes right in the back, boy, It'll knock your pants off.

>> Darin: The Ryoki?

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Mike: The guy at Home Depot was trying to sell it to me. As I'm buying it, he's like, I tell you what, these things are powerful. These people come over here. I used to have a gas powered chainsaw. and I, you know, I took it. I just Threw it in the trash.

>> Darin: That's. I don't need it no more.

>> Mike: Yeah, I got the electric one over there and boy, who I tell you, you're gonna hold on to it now. Now people say that the electrics don't have as much power, that they're lying. They're liars. I'll put this electric, chainsaw side by side up against anything you bring anywhere else. I took all mine as soon as I got one. I took all my ones I had home, threw them in the trash. I had a small one, I had a medium one and I had one of them long boys for them big trunks. Took them all, threw them right in the trash right then, right then, come on.

>> Darin: Boom.

>> Mike: And I said, okay, I'd like to go buy it now. Can I? I got to do you know, why.

>> Darin: Are you trying to.

>> Mike: You should be out on the corner, you know, with the chainsaw trying to bring people in.

>> Darin: Energy.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: On a guy who's already. I'm, buying.

>> Mike: It's like coming into it. It's like coming into a theater after when people are waiting for the movie to start. Now let me tell you, this movie is going to be awesome. It's the best of all the movies. You could have picked this one that you're sitting here for.

>> Darin: It's like telling a hooker she looks really pretty, dude, she's going to bed with you.

>> Mike: It's just my question is, what the hell?

>> Darin: You don't need to try anymore.

>> Mike: I guess I will say that it is powerful. It was throwing sparks and just tearing everything up. Ate through all of it.

>> Darin: I need to get one. Cuz I'm the only house in our neighborhood that doesn't hedge our driveway 99.

>> Mike: Over there at the home Dip Despot. And it takes your batteries that you already have. Okay, I will tell you that up until I edged, I would look at our sidewalk and be like, I don't need to edge.

>> Mike: That goes against nature.

>> Mike: Right.

>> Mike: Stuff's going to grow. Where stuff's going to grow. Exactly five minutes after I was done edging, I started judging other people's edging, not judge.

>> Mike: Yeah. M. Geez.

>> Darin: Do you follow that guy on Tick Tock who mows everybody's lawn for free?

>> Mike: The.

>> Darin: The houses that are overgrown and the. It's usually, it's usually like the old lady whose husband died eight years ago and no one does anything for her in her yard, hasn't been mowed, there's.

>> Mike: A dead body in the front yard. Nobody knows.

>> Darin: Well, there's Something in there.


Mike Odle mows their grass completely for free

He mows their grass completely for free. And he edges and he shovels and he trims around the trees and he cuts off branches that are too close to the house.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And, it's a promotion element. But still occasionally you get these neighbors who come up. What are you doing? You're not allowed to do this. Like, he's beautifying the neighborhood. Go away.

>> Mike: Actively increasing your property.

>> Darin: Property value. Yeah.

>> Mike: So Herb appeal.

>> Darin: M. We need to get an edger, because I. Now that you've got one, I got to get one because Libby's going to be like, Mike Odle has a, an edger.

>> Mike: So there's one that comes with the battery. That's 150, 140. The one without the battery is 99. It uses the same battery.

>> Darin: And you charge that battery.

>> Mike: You charge it. You put it in there, and it just. It tears it up.

>> Mike: Yeah. Good.

>> Darin: I'm glad you enjoy that.

>> Mike: I'm excited about the next time that I get to edge.

>> Mike: Yeah.


This episode of Gumby came out before NASA actually went to moon

>> Darin: Do you want to talk about Gumby? Try and stop me.

>> Mike: You go for it.

>> Darin: Last week, we talked about Gumby versus the robots. That episode changed my world. Honest to God, I didn't realize that I could be entertained in a way that I could. So I watched another episode of Gumby, and on this particular episode, Gumby Goes to the moon. Right. Okay, now this was. This episode came out before NASA, maybe not before the preparation of NASA. Definitely before Jim Lovell and, who. Neil Armstrong.

>> Mike: Wait, this was before we actually went to them.

>> Darin: This is before we went to the moon. This episode of Gumby released before we went to the moon. Okay, so Gumby was on the moon before Neil Armstrong was on the moon.

>> Mike: Okay. Okay.

>> Darin: Suck it. Neil Armstrong. He decides. He's walking around la dee da, and he's looking up and he says. He's thinking, wow, I'd like to kind of like to go to the moon there. So what does he do after the robots?

>> Mike: I would strongly.

>> Darin: Yeah, I know.

>> Mike: Against it.

>> Darin: Yeah. And I don't know if the robots happened before he went to the moon or after, because I don't know if I'm watching these, sequentially.

>> Mike: He seems to have a lot of spare time on his.

>> Darin: Yeah, he needs, some hobbies that do not involve what he's involved in because he's in over his head. The two episodes I've watched so far, he is way over his head.

>> Mike: Stupid empty gum head.

>> Darin: Yes. So he goes into this, warehouse. This time, it's not Full of robots, but there's a few airplanes.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: And there's a couple of spaceships, of course. And he's like, huh? And he's like, I'm gonna get into this spaceship. And he gets in the spaceship and I, I don't know how old Gumby is, okay. But I think he's a child.

>> Mike: No security.

>> Darin: There's no, no security at all. He gets in this spaceship and he figures out where the buttons are. He starts the damn thing, and then it sure enough, it starts flying.

>> Mike: Is Pokey with him?

>> Darin: No, Pokey's not with him in this episode. So how does he know how to. I don't know how to fly a spaceship.

>> Mike: Yeah, right.

>> Darin: I don't know how to fly a helicopter.

>> Mike: How hard could it be?

>> Darin: I mean, I don't know. all you got to do is just go straight. It's a straight line to the moon.

>> Mike: Push a button that looks like the moon.

>> Darin: That's right. Well, you get in your GPS and you're in Gumbieland. To moon, enter and go north.

>> Mike: Siri, take me to the moon.

>> Darin: Exactly.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: So he's flying up to the moon.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Now, the people who wrote this were high as on something because he's like, oh, no. Asteroids. And this asteroid, I'm expecting, like a precursor to the, Empire strike.

>> Mike: Yeah, they'd be crazy to follow us.

>> Darin: Exactly. But this asteroid that's coming is this giant red faced with this weird evil smile on it. Just, just keeps coming closer and closer and closer to the thing. It doesn't hit the ship. he passes the asteroid, and I'm like, well, that's kind of a waste of time and energy. I was really looking forward to him dodging some asteroids. Yeah, right.

>> Mike: And then didn't have the budget for that.

>> Darin: Well, by the way, neither did Empire Strikes Back, because I found out that Empire Strikes Back, they used potatoes.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: And I'm like, well, if they're using potatoes, what else in Star wars is fake?

>> Mike: Yeah.


Gumby lands on the moon. Is he in a spacesuit

>> Darin: Gumby lands on the moon. It's cold on the moon. And he's, he's, he's really cold. And the moon isn't gray like we, like we see in the photos. Or as some people say in the fake photos in this studio where they shot the moon landing.

>> Mike: Stanley Kubrick.

>> Darin: Exactly. Nice and gray. And, well, if they're on the moon, how come.

>> Mike: Is he in a spacesuit?

>> Darin: No, that's, that's my next point. He is not in a spacesuit. So the lack of, there's not Any oxygen on the moon?

>> Mike: No. There's no oxygen on the moon.

>> Darin: No. And I know he's a gum based life form. He definitely needed a space suit, which he did not have. But he's like, well, it's. Wow, it's cold up here. You know. And he's walking around the moon and these moon creatures come out and they all look like orange cones. There's like eight of them. And they follow him around. There's like eight orange size eight or they're orange sized. Eight orange cones that are about Gumby size.

>> Mike: And the traffic cones.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Yes. Without the white stripes on it.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: And then there's one little baby, one who's always like, like 10ft behind every. Hey, hey, wait up.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And they're chasing him around the moon and a lightning storm happens. There's not lightning.

>> Mike: There's no lightning on the moon.

>> Darin: Yeah, there's no lightning on the moon. No lightning happens. Destroys his spaceship. Okay, so how is he gonna get home now?

>> Darin: Gumby is screwed.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Absolutely screwed. He's, he's cold, he ain't got no food.

>> Mike: He's getting chased by traffic.

>> Darin: Chased by traffic cones. Then the moon has almost called it a m. An earthquake. But since he's not on the earth, he, There was like a moonquake and part of the moon cracked open.

>> Mike: Oh.

>> Darin: And so this actually played into Gumby's favor. Gumby hides in this crack. And all the cone creatures ran. And and they ran and they're like, he must have be over there. And then they, he kind of lost him. He, you know, whatever. So he's lost the cone people. Why didn't I call them the cone heads? Okay, Because Saturday Night Live already, copyrighted that. Yeah, he lost the cone people. Now he's sitting there on the moon and he's getting really sad because he's cold. He's screwed. How am I gonna get home?

>> Mike: Is this when his parents come up and make fun of him?

>> Darin: This is exactly his father. Okay, Father Gumbo and I mentioned last week, Gumbo is a firefighter.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Mike: Did he drive the damn fire truck up to the moon again?

>> Darin: He didn't drive it to the moon, but you know, Gumba, Gumby's mom's like, where's Gumby? And I don't know where.

>> Mike: So these parents.

>> Darin: His father drives to the space center where there's like the, the big telescope.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And he looks in the telescope and he said, quote Yep, he's on the moon. All right, I've got To go after him.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: And one of the commenters on YouTube was hilarious. And I wish I'd said that. It's like, man, he was as nonchalant as can be.

>> Mike: Yep.

>> Darin: I guess I'm gonna have to go get him. So his father takes his, fire truck again. On personal business.

>> Mike: Personal business.

>> Darin: You're not allowed to use that on personal business.

>> Mike: What if one of these mentally impaired gum people is at home? And this, from what you're telling me, their general intelligence, it's likely that somebody is playing with matches somewhere where they shouldn't be.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: One of them sets their house on fire or goes back to the murder robot factory.

>> Darin: sorry, we couldn't.

>> Mike: Now, there's no fire truck, because you're going to get to the. This is just.

>> Darin: His dad takes his fire truck and he parks it appropriately where he could raise the ladder to the moon. And I'm like, this is bull. This is the most bull of any bull I've ever seen.


Gumbo gets to the moon just in time before the cone people capture Gumby

And he. One thing he did was he knew that it was cold on the moon, so he put on a furry parka. This giant fur parka.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: And he's,

>> Mike: Okay. Yeah.

>> Mike: Darren is slowly lifting his hand up as a, As the ladder goes up. Just keeps going. Commercial break comes back. He's still going.

>> Darin: Still going.

>> Mike: 24.

>> Darin: I mean, honestly, it's like it took the actual time I think it would take for a ladder to get to the moon. I'm like, come on, I need to finish this episode before the podcast starts. And his mom's like, oh, where's Gumby?

>> Mike: And what is it that people did?

>> Mike: People.

>> Mike: The space thing didn't say anything. They're just like, no, you're no kids up there.

>> Darin: No. Nobody at the space center even noticed that there's a spaceship missing. And like, hey, who's using our telescope?

>> Mike: Yeah. Okay.

>> Darin: Anyway, Gumbo gets to the moon just in time before the cone people capture Gumby.

>> Mike: Oh.

>> Darin: And there's like, oh, dad, I'm so glad to see you. Get on the loader.

>> Mike: They're gonna. Campbell.

>> Mike: Whatever. Yeah.

>> Darin: I don't know what they were gonna do to him. They may have wanted him to be friends because there was no communication within the two.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: They didn't have a single word. Hi, I'm Gumby. I'm here to explore your, moon. Nothing that. He was just afraid.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: As we are of new people. You meet somebody new, and they start running after you. I think they're going to kill me.

>> Mike: And Pokey's at Home, hitting hayweed. Not doing a damn thing.

>> Darin: No. So Gumbo gets Gumby and on the ladder, and they go back.

>> Mike: Okay, part two, to be continued on this very special episode, brings him home.

>> Darin: And then Gumby has to go to the hospital because he's been on the moon. Now, Gumbo doesn't need any medical treatment. No, I mean. And, you know, it's like, you look at the time, Gumby was on the moon. About six minutes longer than Gumbo was.

>> Mike: Yeah. Okay.

>> Darin: They get him down, they take him to the hospital. What are they gonna do? Turns out Gumba, which is Gumby's mom, knows all the things you're supposed to do in the hospital. They put him in one of those, round, You put it in there. They do the colonoscopy. No, they didn't give him a colonoscopy.

>> Mike: You put them on the mri.

>> Darin: An mri. Thank you. They put him in the giant metal donut, and they do the MRI on him. Gumby's mom puts his red thing, and she walks her. Like this will help. And she puts it on his face. And I'm thinking it's like the paddles that you use to clear the heart. She puts it on his face, and then that miraculously fixes Gumby. I was on the moon, but I'm sure glad to be back, Mother. And he grabs one of the hospital carts that you wheel, bodies, around. And he runs out the door. Yeah, he runs out the hospital door and then runs down the hallway pushing this cart.
