Buckle up, punks, and stow away the kids. The quacker gets a work-out on this one: Darin's quitting Orange Theory because of the music, and Mike's annoyed at needing a reason to exercise.

It's Picture Day!! Plus - Darin messes up with a hair compliment and reports on three things he doesn't know. Mike (finally) figures out the correct room number in a movie he claims is a favorite. We have a ton of audience questions ranging from fine art to exploding eggs.…
Season 1 Finale - and we're going out in.....well, style? Mike's brain is not working right quite from the start of the show, and it goes sideways from there. Goats are mentioned, and two titans of the donut industry are discussed. The two discuss recent cough patterns (hey, they're not…
