>> Mike: And Oasis and Phil Collins.

>> Darin: Oasis. Phil Collins. Iron Maiden. I know, it's a good. People have been bitching and bitching. We're going to talk about this. It's a good year for rock and roll acts.

>> Mike: I got all kinds of stuff to say about this, so I'm chomping at the bites.

>> Darin: Yeah. I'm going to apologize to Rush fans and, hey, some people got engaged at a BUC EE's, and I'm here to tell you, we did that first.

>> Mike: Yeah,

>> Darin: that's right. The Rock and Roll hall of fame finally inducted Mr. William Broad, aka Billy Idol. Phil Collins. Iron Maiden. Okay. your boys. Oasis. The Oasis. Yeah. And I like Oasis. Do I think there should be some bands that got in before Oasis?

>> Mike: Yes.

>> Darin: do I agree that Oasis deserved to be in there? Sure. Okay. Were some bands that probably could have gotten in there before them, but that's not for me to, decide. I'm at the point now to where Billy Idol is in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame. So from here, moving forward, I don't care. I have been saying forever that Billy Idol needs to be in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame. He has been. Oh, my God. When I was, like, 13 or 14, whatever, whenever rebel Yell came out, oh, my God, I was such a huge fan. Still a huge fan of Billy Idol. I've got probably 20 posters, all his CDs, except for one that I can't find. I've got. I still have cassettes of Billy Idol. I love Billy Idol. Seen him live four times, and I'm so happy for him and Billy Idol, Steve Stevens, Whenever you guys want to come and be a guest on Irritable Dad Syndrome, we've got the. The space. So come on in. Be happy to talk to you.

>> Mike: I'm gonna blow your mind. Prepare to have your mind blow.

>> Darin: yeah, I'm ready.


The Oasis brothers will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

>> Mike: you, too. Is in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame. And I didn't even think about doing this when you two got in, but this is the first ceremony I've thought I may actually try to go to.

>> Darin: I want to go to the ceremony,

>> Mike: and I want to tell you why. Why 1. Iron Maiden has said for years, they don't give a. If they get in. Bruce Dickinson, specifically.

>> Darin: Right?

>> Mike: I said, it's. I don't care if we get in. Who cares about that? Whatever. So they're in.

>> Darin: They're in.

>> Mike: The only person that the Oasis brothers hate more than each other is Phil Collins, and they're both inducted in the same.

>> Darin: Why do they.

>> Mike: I don't. I don't even. I think it's a. A. What, do you call that?

>> Darin: I can't imagine.

>> Mike: I think it's a gag. I don't think it's real.

>> Darin: Nobody hates. There's.

>> Mike: They do. There's picture. I'm in the Oasis fan groups. There was, Somebody gave Noel Gallagher a. An album by Phil Collins to sign, and he wrote Phil and you too,

>> Darin: and gave it back to him. Nice. Nice.

>> Mike: I don't know why there's a collector's item. I just. I swear I think it's a gag. Yeah, but it's still the idea of if they're going to have them on stage, they can't not say something about it. One of them is going to say something about it. If Noel doesn't, then Liam will.

>> Darin: It'll probably be like, that year. Do you remember when the Beach Boys got inducted into the hall of Fame and they said that Mick Jagger was too Chicken. To perform with the Beach Boys. Right. Mick Jagger was there. Right. And so at the end of the night they had that big group, everybody was up on stage performing together and Mick Jagger's up there singing his ass off. Does, Beach Boys say anything to him? No, he just kept his distance. And when Elton John accepted his induction, he goes, I'm really glad I didn't piss off Mike Love. You know, it's probably going to be one of those nights which will just make it even more fun.

>> Mike: I think it would be good. I mean, not just because you're, he's your favorite artist, but I think it would be fun to see how Billy Idol accepts that and what he would say.

>> Darin: Yeah, yeah.

>> Mike: But, yeah, the Gallagher brothers. Oh my God. Especially if Phil gets inducted before them. And, and I would love to see Phil Collins accept that. And like, he's not in good health.

>> Darin: No, he's not. But here's the prediction. So you know how every year they have like one song that they close the night out with.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: They usually bring in, like a major jam session. I predict that it's going to be Monymony and Billy Idol and then, other members, inductees, that year will be up on stage to do Money. Money.

>> Mike: That's.

>> Darin: I, I may be wrong. I've been wrong.

>> Mike: So either hint. Who else other than.

>> Darin: Oh boy, Luther Vandross got inducted. I love Luther Vandross. He had a velvet voice. He was amazing. Ed Sullivan is inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of Fame in a. It's a non performer category. The Ahmet Ertigan. I can't pronounce the guy's last name. He was a major huge person in the, in Atlantic Records who just discovered so many artists in R, and B. So they gave him the induction into the Rock and Roll hall of Fame for probably for all the people that he gave exposure to on the Ed, Sullivan show, the Beatles, the Doors, the Rolling Stones. The list goes on and on and on.

>> Mike: It would be like Kurt Loder being inducted.


Kurt Loder needs to be in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame

>> Darin: Kurt Loder needs to be in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame. No, I hear the truth. I believe that the original MTV VJ should be in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame in a non performer category. Ricky Rocket, he was the drummer.

>> Mike: same guy.

>> Darin: Same guy.

>> Mike: No, but Rick.

>> Darin: Rick Rubin. Rick damn Rubin is in the right. He is. No, they inducted HM him this year. Rock and Roll hall of Fame. Rick Rubin. And if the only thing he did was bring Johnny Cash back to Life.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: For those last five albums of his, then he deserves it.

>> Mike: So of those artists, maybe a Luther Vandross. I'm not that familiar with his stuff. I somewhat agree with you. I can also see them throwing a bone to Phil Collins, like Take Me Home or something like that. Being a closer with every. Because that's one you could see everybody singing along.

>> Darin: Take Me Home would be good. that would be good.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And Oasis fans, I know you're clacking on the. The comments and I'm there with Supernova. It would be Don't Look Back in Anger. That's the one. You're right that they would close. But I can't see with William Idol and Philip Collins being there, I can't see them going with the two young guys. The two youngins. Young and from Manchester Sprouts.

>> Darin: I think it's going to be mony. Moaning. I think it's going to be Billy Idol. Okay. I really do. Yeah.

>> Mike: how do you think he's going to accept it? What do you think his.

>> Darin: I think he's going to tear the place apart, Billy.

>> Mike: I think he's going to be tearful. You think he's going to be like rock and roll.

>> Darin: He has said. Well, he's going to. He'll shout some expletives. He'll have his fist up in the air like as Billy Idol does. And he is, I think he's going to be somber. I think he's going to be sentimental. Yeah. Because he is, you know, already said. It's like, I don't even have the words for how much this means to me.

>> Mike: And Steve Stevens will likely be on stage with him.

>> Darin: Well, it's. Steve Stevens got inducted, too.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: Oh, so he and Steve Stevens richly deserved it. Yeah.

>> Mike: Invest in l'.

>> Darin: Oreal.

>> Mike: There's gonna be a lot of moose buying lotta in, Cleveland.

>> Darin: A lot of hairspray that night.

>> Mike: Yeah.


Some Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees are not rock and roll

>> Darin: so congratulations to all the Rock and Roll hall of Fame inductees. And I'm gonna say it again. We're gonna get people typing and sending us hate mail because some of the people inducted, they're not rock and roll. Luther Vandrossing, a rock and roll act. The Rock and Roll hall of Fame.

>> Mike: Influential.

>> Darin: Very influential in the world of rock and roll music, because you look at the original rock and roll acts who are in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame, and they were inspired by country and western music, they were inspired by big band music, they were inspired by folk music. So, I mean, it's like, you originally had big band music, and then you had rock, rock and roll music. And from that, it spawned disco, it spawned hip hop, it spawned heavy metal music. Heavy metal music ain't rock and roll music. Yeah, it's rock music, but it's not rock and roll. It's not like the 50s. And, God, I love 50s rock and roll music. So I'm not desecrating that. There's so many people who are the result of rock and roll. That's why you have hip hop artists and rap artists and Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton. Right. Said Fred and he. They are not in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame. They are not. And we're not gonna go on a

>> Mike: tear like you said, they. Is there more than Fred is that. I thought it was just Fred Wright

>> Darin: said Fred is a group. It wasn't.

>> Mike: Oh, really?

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: I literally thought it was a guy.

>> Darin: You didn't see.

>> Mike: I thought it was like George Michael.

>> Darin: It's a few.

>> Mike: A few guys.

>> Darin: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Congratulations to everybody inducted into the rock and roll.

>> Mike: Yeah. And for current members, G.D. lee, Neil Pearl, and Alex Lifison are. Are in there.

>> Darin: My apologies to Rush fans. Oh, we have gotten from Rush fans.

>> Mike: Y'. All. Y' all need to.

>> Darin: Once again, I did it, and I knew it was gonna happen. I pronounced Alex Lifeson's name Alex Lifison. Why? Because I like seeing it's people. It's fun. I like.

>> Mike: Y' all get too worked up over this.

>> Darin: I like seeing if people are paying attention, so I call them Alex Lifison and boy, people. I've never heard anybody pronounce the name

>> Mike: worse in my life.

>> Darin: Everyone keep listening. You'll hear.

>> Mike: Every once in a while, one of our videos just goes getting thousands of views and. And, you know, people comment, and it's clear we've touched a nerve. It happened with David Lee Roth.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: Yes, it did happened with me. I made a comment about Tool and oh, my Lord. That I. I suggested that perhaps they weren't as popular with their first couple of albums as everybody tends to pretend. All my. You would have thought. I just.

>> Darin: Oh, my God. You want to know one thing that I did? This is before the podcast mentioned something. do you remember Twitter?

>> Mike: I do. it's.

>> Darin: It's. It's X now.

>> Mike: Yeah, yeah.

>> Darin: So I was on the Twitter and somebody was talking about Weird Al Yankovic, and I said, as much as I love Weirdo Yankovic and I do love Weirdo Yankovic, I have everything Weird Al Yankovic has Ever recorded. I've. I've got all his music. I've seen him live. I've got all his videos. Okay. And I went to see UHF in the theater, and I have the dvd. And I love Weird Al. I said, I think that he looked funnier when he had the mustache and the glasses.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And now that he doesn't have the mustache and the glasses and he looks like a normal guy, he's still funny. He's still extremely talented. Doesn't look as funny, but he doesn't look as funny. Oh, my God.

>> Mike: yeah.

>> Darin: And they're like, you don't know anything about Weird Al. Do you even listen to the non parody songs? I'm like, yes, I do. I memorized the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota. I know all the lyrics to Attack of the Radioactive Hamsters from a Planet Near Mars. Don't get in my face about Weird Al.

>> Mike: I'm starting to believe the theory. it's not a theory. It's.


Maestro: I think our podcast sounds very polished

It's a. It's a fact that a large portion of the Internet is now just bots. Just AI bots yelling. Because I'm like, you cannot see that we're a comedy show.

>> Darin: Yeah. God, people.

>> Mike: I mean, I know that people. I try to. I try to keep things in context. Like, you know, if I see somebody say something stupid, I usually react to just that thing. And I'm not suggesting that people should go to our website. Although you can, if you want, you

>> Darin: can go to our website.

>> Mike: You can type Rush.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: Or Neil Pearl in the. In the search thing. And you'll see all. It's Pearl.

>> Darin: Pearled. You see all.

>> Mike: the times we've talked about them. we're clearly rushing. We're going to see.

>> Darin: Right. We've got tickets to see him in Detroit. We can't wait. Yeah.

>> Mike: With their new bass player. And it's okay. It's okay.

>> Darin: It is okay.

>> Mike: It's funny. Now, you may not find it funny, but we find the rage hilarious. That's why we do it.

>> Darin: Half the reason why we do this podcast is because we think we're funny. We hope you think we're funny, but we think we're hilarious.

>> Mike: Oh, my Lord.

>> Darin: You were chuckling your nuts off at last week's episode.

>> Mike: Yeah, I. I, I listened to the first five minutes, if you haven't already listened to it. Episode, 3,04.

>> Darin: Somebody dropped a neph bomb at easter.

>> Mike: the first five minutes. I loved it. And I will say that in all seriousness, because I was. I was Starting to talk about this a little bit earlier, I think, off the air.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: I listen to the show. I get different things from the show than I think the normal listener gets.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: So we'll get comments that people come back, things that they like. I tend to like the things that we know weren't planned and their evidence of the show going off the road. I love the bloopers.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: Oh. Because I know firsthand how off the rails we've gotten in some of the times. They sound almost scripted. And if you listen to last Week's episode, episode 304, you listen to the first. The open. None of that was scripted.

>> Darin: Nothing, nothing, nothing.

>> Mike: And I love it dearly. Uh-huh. and Mr. Editing, Maestro here, coupled in our natural cackling and laughing into the cackling and laughing that opens the show. And then we were going to write into our normal. I thought it was flawless. And I listened to that thing like three or four times.

>> Darin: Well, I'll tell you what. When you listen to our episode, when you listen to a complete episode, I'm begging you to listen all the way through because you'll think, man, this is really polished.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And then you hear the 22 minutes of bloopers. How much did they.

>> Mike: If you are a human, if you are an early podcaster and statistics say that everyone but one of you has a podcast.

>> Darin: Yeah. Look under your couch.

>> Mike: You probably have a podcast to listen to the last five to 10 minutes of every episode. The bloopers, all the. The stuff. I. I will say that our podcast, I'm Going on Limb, sounds very polished. I like the final product.

>> Darin: I agree.

>> Mike: But man.

>> Darin: Yeah. If.

>> Mike: If you listen to those bloopers, you see how the sausage is made. Hella. How the meat is hungry down here in the. In the locker, in the freezer.

>> Darin: Yeah.


Chris Calloway is one of our big patrons at Kroger

>> Dave: it's time now for the Kroger story of the week.

Chris Calloway talks about where to find produce that's not rotting

Did you guys talk about where to find produce that's not rotting on the shelves? No, I need that. I need the Kroger that has that.

>> Darin: You know what? I did buy a bag of oranges, brought them home and they were moldy. Yeah, the mold from one orange was stuck to the mold on another orange because I. I examined them. I gave them a full once over. I looked at the top, I looked at the bottom. I tried looking around the taint of the orange.

>> Mike: Yeah, I cut it in half and, like, juice started pouring out. Fun fact. If you're not a chef, when you cut onions, it's not supposed to ooze juice. No, no. I gagged, I dry heaved, and then we went and get a pizza.

Yeah, unless you're me, you can't buy all the chips.

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

>> Mike: I got myself involved in a thing.

>> Darin: What's that?

>> Mike: A, It's not a cult.

>> Darin: It's like a conspiracy theory.

>> Mike: It's a subscription to Oatmeal. Would you like to hear more?

>> Darin: A subscription or a prescription?

>> Mike: Subscribe.

>> Darin: A subscription.

>> Mike: I subscribe to Oatmeal. Oatmeal.

>> Darin: Okay. Ow. That hurts.

>> Mike: You know, your. Your phone listens to you. Yes, I was complaining about just life in general and the. The fact that I can't figure out what I'm supposed to eat. because I keep going, I will be able to lose weight, and then I'll bloom back up and all these other different things happen. Right? I try to go to the gym in the mornings now, so that I have time in the evening for, like, family podcast. Dealing with these dogs that we're going to talk about later. But I'm always energy. is a long story short, Oats Overnight got recommended to me. Have you heard of Oats Overnight? I'm going to blow your mind.

>> Darin: Oats over.

>> Mike: Oats Overnight. It's an envelope of oatmeal, and it comes with a shaker bottle, right? You fill the shaker bottle up. Eight ounces of milk.

>> Darin: Huh?

>> Mike: You pour the envelope in. You know, you pick a flavor.

>> Darin: Okay?

>> Mike: They have peanut butter and chocolate. Shut up. Cookies and cream banana nut bread. The one I tried today was, coconut cream pie.

>> Darin: Do they have the brown sugar cinnamon?

>> Mike: Brown sugar cinnamon. Well, they have maple pancakes.

>> Darin: Oh, God, that brown sugar cinnamon.

>> Mike: Oatmeal is my strawberries and cream.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: they have some weird stuff in there, too. Okay. but anyway, and. And we have. And there's one of them.

>> Darin: It's called mango.

>> Mike: There's one that's called a test flavor. It's something out that's not. It's like, kind of off the grid, but because I'm subscribed to the oatmeal, I get it. So I tried it for the first time this week, and I gotta tell you, what you do is you pour the milk in there, you pour the envelope in, you close it up, you shake the out of it, and you put it in the fridge, you leave it overnight. Hence the name Oats Overnight. And then you take it out and you say, mike, haven't you effectively made cold oatmeal yes.

>> Darin: Uh-huh.

>> Mike: And you're supposed to drink it cold.


Get yourself some oats overnight. G.D. lee recommends Quaker brand

Yes. You can put less milk in and eat it with the spoon. I drink it. Now I'm going to tell you I had the canister, my first canister of oats overnight in the cup holder of my non Kia from the beginning of 129.

>> Darin: Oh, your new car.

>> Mike: Right.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: From the beginning of the Route 129 all the way over to where you get on 75 at the whole time, I'm like, this is going to be disgusting. It's going to be cold oatmeal, and I can't do this. And then I thought, well, I'm subscribed. Now I have to. And I took a drink. It blew my mind. let me tell you this.

>> Darin: Would Alex Liffison approve of oats overnight?

>> Mike: Him and Neil Pearl would love it. G.D. lee. G.D. lee would be Giddy Lee over this. I'm not a guy that when people say, all, this tasted like ice cream or this tastes like cookies.

>> Darin: Uh-huh.

>> Mike: That makes. I don't want to hear that. This tasted like a milkshake, okay. Like a morning milkshake. It was amazing.

>> Darin: Oh, here's your morning milkshake.

>> Mike: But it's only 250 calories.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: Plus whatever the milk is. Who cares? But it.

>> Darin: Now, do you use.

>> Mike: Fills you up.

>> Darin: Do you use whole milk or 2% milk or 1%?

>> Mike: We use lactate because we've found. I've found that if I don't drink lactate, lactate, if I have cereal or if I drink milk, I myself, it's, lactose intolerance. Kids. Look it up. Okay? But lactate removes whatever it is.

>> Darin: The non yourself.

>> Mike: Yeah, the non yourself. Bugs, whatever that is, get. Rips them right out of there. And this stuff is amazing. And it keeps me, like, by the time lunch comes around. Usually when lunch comes around at work, I'm like. I'm like, I need to get some

>> Darin: food at me starving.

>> Mike: Yeah, I could go another hour. This stuff is amazing and. And healthy.

>> Darin: They don't. They don't send it to you over.

>> Mike: It's. I have it. No. Yeah. See, that's what I.

>> Darin: Well, I did technically, because I would be like sitting there, I'd be like, well, here's my subscription. And then 6 o' clock in the morning, where's my oatmeal?

>> Mike: So well packaged. Oh, well, you wouldn't think that would be important about oatmeal, but, let me tell you, Quaker oats Get you together, these little cardboard tubes and the little. I'm going to put a little paper envelope with a little picture of a Quaker guy. You need to back up into the 21st century. Get yourself some oats overnight. This stuff is like, okay, okay. High tech, polymer slash foil. it's. It feels good to open the package.

>> Mike: You think that Credence was coming to town?

>> Darin: People are losing their camping out, sleeping on the sidewalk. They were, This one woman left, her entire family so that she could go to Buc ee's. It doesn't make any sense. I've been in Buc EE's. It's a cool place. They've got good sandwiches. Yeah, they're,

>> Darin: So on our local news, they did a story because a couple from Pennsylvania drove down and got engaged at BUC EE's and everyone was making such a big deal. I'm like, we did that on our podcast two years ago.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Yeah. Chris Hug. He's one of the patrons of the show. He and his just a lovely, girlfriend at the time. Lisa drove up to Cincinnati, and she had no idea what was going on.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: At our local, Kroger establishment. That's where he proposed to her.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: So Chris Huggies and Lisa Huggies were the ones who set that trend.

>> Mike: Yes.

>> Darin: And so I'm all pissed off now because they made such a big stink about this couple driving down from Pennsylvania. Like, who lives there?

>> Darin: They did.

>> Mike: Well, they shut down the Crowbar.

>> Darin: They did.

>> Mike: After Huggies got engaged.

>> Darin: What's the point in staying open?

>> Mike: They figured, what's what? What can we do to top that?

>> Darin: Nothing.

>> Mike: Nothing? No. So they put the beers in the hula hoop section back in there or whatever the hell. The wine section.

>> Darin: Yeah. We did a whole special episode about. It's the, the ultimate Kroger story of the week. Kroger story of the week.

>> Mike: Yeah. Ask for it by name.

This time we watched a movie called An Honest Thief. Okay. Liam Neeson is a bank robber, okay? Something happened to his father years ago, and he had all this money invested, and the banks, they stole my father's money.

>> Mike: They kept it for themselves.

>> Darin: So he decided, I'm going to start robbing banks because I'm a. I'm good at it. And two, screw them, right? So Liam Neeson is, they call him the in and out robber. And he's like, I don't like that nickname. Can you stop calling me the in and out robber? And, he decides to turn himself in. I'm going to turn himself in. Nobody believes him. And they're like, okay, thanks for your call. And they hang up on him. He calls the FBI back. He says, I'm not screwing around. I'm the in and out robber. I did this on this date. I did this on this date. I've robbed 12 banks. I've stolen this amount of money, and I'm turning myself in. And they're like, okay, whatever. So Liam Neeson's in love with this woman. He's turning himself in. He says, I'm turning myself under. The, The deal is I want to be at this prison, and I want it to be, you know, with. With no limit, on visitation because he wants his new girlfriend to be able to see him because he loves her or whatever. So he has $9 million. And, the. Some of the FBI guys turn into bad people and start stealing his money. Liam Neeson, who is the. The bank robber, ends up being, like, the good guy. He's like the anti. What's it called?

Mike: I've been alternating between Chick Fil A and Chipotle

Previous story update brought to you by zipper lube. Nobody handles sticky zippers better than zipper lube.

>> Mike: I have a lunch story.

>> Darin: Oh, okay.

>> Mike: I've been alternating between Chick Fil A and Chipotle.

>> Darin: Okay. You've been doing that for years.

>> Mike: yeah, but I. I usually. Chick fil A sets me off. Okay, so we usually talk about Chick Fil A. I've gone through all the people that they've hired. I've given enough descriptions that people could probably track down the exact Chick Fil A that I'm talking about. Yes, but this one's Chipotle. So I got my burrito, okay. And I like to sit in my vehicle with the YouTube on the phone there and eat the burrito in peace.

>> Darin: I hear you.

>> Mike: I look up, and I see a guy pull up with a, Spectrum Spectrum cable.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: Van.

>> Darin: A van. A Spectrum van.

>> Mike: Yeah. he's a bad.

>> Darin: And did you say, hey, you work for Special?

>> Mike: No, I didn't. I didn't. But he backed in Now I felt like, You remember Mike from Breaking Bad?

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: He would do surveillance from the car every once in a while. That's sort of. I started to pretend I was Mike, which is easy because I have no hair, and I am Mike.

>> Darin: You're named Mike?

>> Mike: Yeah. But I watched this guy get out of his van. He looked to the left.

>> Mike: He looked to the right. And then he took his key and put it in the wheel well of the van.

>> Darin: No.

>> Mike: And then stoop back up. He was stooped down to do that. Got back up, looked around, and then walked to. I think it's a Jimmy John's. And I start looking around for other people. Like, is this. Did I just see a dead drop?

>> Darin: Something about to go down?

>> Mike: Yeah. It looked like I was expecting. There's a text going around somewhere. the van's in the parking lot, keys in the spot.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: And then somebody else was going to come along. Gus Fring or somebody.

>> Darin: The fat man.

>> Mike: Yeah. And takes this puppy, speaking in code.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: And he goes in the Jimmy John's. He's in there for a respectable amount of time. He comes out with his Jimmy John's order. Right. He ordered. And he came back out with it. Stopped in front of his front, wheel. looked to the left, looked to the right, squatted down. Jimmy John in the. In the left hand, reaches with his right hand, gets the key.

>> Darin: So he wretched in there.

>> Mike: Wretched in there.

>> Mike: And then got in his fan and drove away. And left me with my thoughts, like, what the. Did I just see? My question is, what the hell? Now, I don't normally pay attention to men's pants, but he did have pockets. Why didn't he put his key in the pocket?

>> Darin: Right. That's what I want to do.

>> Mike: And if you wanted to be. You remember the Breaking Bad, where Walt had to put the tracker under Gus's thing?

>> Darin: Yeah. He did that.

>> Mike: He acted like he was tying his shoes, right?

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: He didn't look left. Look right, squat down and retch up under there. It was really part of me as I think about this story, because I've thought about this guy a lot. I wrote it down on the rundown.

>> Darin: Uh-huh.

>> Mike: From a couple of weeks ago. We just never got to it.

>> Darin: It.

>> Mike: Part of me wonders if he's doing that on purpose.

>> Darin: Uh-huh.

>> Mike: Because on the off chance that someone's watching him, that mess with them, maybe.


Mike: Spectrum guy was being suspicious or he was acting sus

Because I would do that.

>> Darin: That's. That's perfect.

>> Mike: He was very theatrical about it. I say all that to say this.

>> Darin: You know what? While he was doing that, somebody else was doing the drugs.

>> Mike: That's right.

>> Darin: Somebody else was, either pimping herself out.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Or slinging rock.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Or something. And then he was distracting. He was being suspicious or he was acting sus.

>> Mike: Yes. Suss as sus can be.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: I say all that to say this Spectrum guy. I'm on D. I saw what you did.

>> Darin: Oh, yeah.

>> Mike: I saw exactly what you did.

>> Darin: Your days are nervous.

>> Mike: You're not fooling anybody.

>> Darin: No.

>> Mike: Right.

>> Darin: No.

>> Mike: And if I ever see him pull up again.

>> Darin: No. Mike's no dummy.

>> Mike: I'm turning on the cam.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: And we're gonna get some evidence of this. This chicanery, that was going on. I still don't know what the hell. Why.

>> Darin: I don't know why you think that he was. If he was really going to do that, would he do it in a company vehicle?

>> Mike: I've wondered. Is it. Is it. If you work for Spectrum, let us know. Is that a policy?

>> Darin: You have to keep your key in the will.

>> Mike: Keep your key in the wheel well, and you have to look like. Like Austin hours. Kind of weird. You know, make a big deal about it. Yeah. Oh, I. Believe me, if I see him again, I'm cranking that in the car. Just gonna play it while he's doing that.

>> Darin: That would have stayed with me forever.

>> Mike: It's been with me for weeks now. I don't know.

>> Darin: Why would somebody do that? That doesn't make any sense.

>> Mike: Spectrum van. If I see a Spectrum van in the parking lot, you know, I'm gonna retch under that wheel well to see if the key's in there.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And if it is, I'm gonna move it, and then I'm gonna put the key in the other wheel well and leave.

>> Darin: I didn't break in. The key was. Key was right.

>> Mike: Kids, don't do that. That's. That's not funny. No, that's not funny at all. And shouldn't be on a comedy podcast at all.

>> Darin: Oh, no.
