Get off the shed.

It's a great workbench you have god damn oh thank you
there's a long long story into me building that thing that uh i love you involve some mania mostly
just trying to keep my hands busy we might talk about it later we'll talk about on the patreon i
love it well and i'm sure there were dumb things done along the way because you're you know when
you've stepped in it that's what i love Dave. Building a work bench should never include mania.
So I'm interested to hear what that entails.
Work bench mania does sound like a K-pop band.
Hey, we just got to do something fun.
We just got to do some fun stuff with you.
Yeah, we just got to do the sketchy stuff.
Well, let's save all that and we'll talk about that
when we talk about what he's got going on.
But the beauty is that Dave is one of my smarter friends i would say yeah i would agree he knows a lot about science
which i think is you know has taken a lot of hits in the last couple of years but i trust in him and
i believe in him um and so i'm glad he's here to help us sort through the dumb should we jump into
a story ready yeah let's do it okay this was sent
in by derrick shipley at derrick shipley d-e-r-i-c-k-s-s-i-p-l-e-o-n i feel like he should

Yep.

Enter the promo code DPT at Shipley.com.
Okay.

Use Shipley.
Use Shipley.
Right.
Okay.
Here's the headline.
Unhappy Walmart shopper causes chaos isn't that
what happens all the time at walmart that could go any direction does it start at the carts is
it something at the checkout is it in the aisle looking for someone climbing up the racks yes
was the greeter too sarcastic was someone trying to work out with the weights you know you're like hey don't
work out with the weights walmart in a lot of walmart recently uh when this drops i will have
been to a walmart like in the time people hear you ask me that question you will have been i
have been to walmart countless times in the past days have you been dave no no i haven't uh it has been quite some time but see
it's all changed though do they like in rochelle illinois huge walmart is like walmart's are like
the new town square like you see everybody at walmart and you're constantly going to walmart
all the time to get yours i gotta run to walmart walmart Walmart's where everything happens. Dan, my mom went in Illinois.
She went to the-
Was she in Evansville?
No, in Arkansas.
The first ever Walmart.
Like the actual Sam Walton's Walmart store that I was like, why are you even going there?
But whatever.
I am amazed at how huge, like a super Walmart, like how big that-
Walmart Supercenter?
They are so big.
I almost like can't even understand.
In college, Roy Marks and I used to go to Walmart at like 3 in the morning and just get fried chicken.
You use Supercenter.
You get anything you want, dude.
There was a place in Michigan called Meyer Thrifty Acre.
M-E-I-J-E-R.
Thrifty Acre.
And that's different than your regular Meyer?
No, it's just a regular Meijer.
But, I mean, they had, we used to go study up there
because it was like bright fluorescent lights.
You get a thing of Mountain Dew
and you just drink as much as you can
and it kept us up all night.
And then, like, you'd be loopy at 3 in the morning
because it was 24 hours.
We'd go down, we'd get into the hunting tactical gear,
and we would just start running around the store
in camouflage gear.
It was insane.
I love it.
We were just nuts.
I always wonder, when you roll into a Walmart
between 2 and 4.30 a.m.,
you have whatever reason you're there for,
but everybody has a story
of what brought them into a Walmart
in that window of time.
The ingredients are fascinating
because when you hear these stories,
you think, well, this doesn't have anything
to do with Walmart.
But then you have college educated
heading to drink Mountain Dew
and suddenly the tactical gear thing makes sense.
The mystery of Walmart, it just,
it creates its own ecosystem
where people are running around doing very
atypical things. It is its own universe.
Here we go with atypical. A woman
searching for prophylactics.
Okay. Okay. So she
wants some condoms. That's right.
If you like it, then you should have put a rubber on it.
At the Fayetteville Walmart,
turned that search into a
tirade. Fayetteville Walmart already, that feels like upper-ass. Fayetteville Walmart turned that search into a tirade.
Fayetteville Walmart already.
That feels like upper-ass restaurant.
Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Yes.
That's where Three Best Bakery is.
No, they're in Benton.
Benton, Arkansas.
But it is a near thing for them.
And I should be playing Fayetteville.
I was supposed to, and then we had to postpone it,
so we're getting a new date.
I'll be back.
Okay.
Her actions included running through the store cursing how dare you son of a bitch hitting an employee
oh my lay your hands off of taking all of her clothes off oh my god and urinating on the floor
i mean she to me sounds like That's hitting for the cycle.
That's the Walmart cycle, right?
She really needed to have sex, and that poor guy sitting there on the bed, just like, I'm not doing it until you get the condoms.
That's right.
Only when you're on the way back.
All right.
That guy must be great at sex, because she's peeing on floors.
She's so upset she can't conclude it.
Honey, it's at Walmart.
You'll be able to find it.
I can't find it. Imagine also the ratchet. Ma' You'll be able to find it. I can't find it.
Imagine also the ratchet.
Ma'am, please stop running.
Ma'am, could you not curse?
Please don't hit employees.
Please put your clothes back on.
Don't urinate on the floor.
There are two employees who are like, remember when we thought the running was bad?
Go back to the running.
Ma'am.
Ma'am.
Ma'am.
Ma'am.
Ma'am.
Ma'am.
Ma'am.
Ma'am. Ma'am ma'am ma'am ma'am ma'am ma'am ma'am ma'am this is a there are fluorescent lights on ma'am right ready for her name i can't wait april d barrow adb adv april d barrow Sounds like an author. Yeah. James Joyce's side piece.
April D. Barrow
was charged with two counts of simple battery,
public indecency, and disorderly conduct
according to Fayetteville County
Jail Records. Well, I think Dave's
right, okay, that
she just wanted to have...
I mean, you're going in for the condoms.
Yeah, but at some point she's done with that. That ship
sailed. You think so? Yeah, but at some point she's done with that. That ship sailed.
You think so?
Yeah, but at what point?
Like she hit the employee's – Well, once you hit the employee, go all the way.
Yeah.
I just like them.
They're high on Mountain Dew, obviously.
They're laying in bed.
They're studying for finals.
Right.
And they may be Rochambeau.
Like who's going?
And she's like, I don't even want to do the rock, paper, scissors. Because I get a little nuts if I get in there and I can't find him.
She's like, you'll be fine.
No, if I go, it'll be a whole thing.
How much of a thing could it be?
Well, how much do you think when she was hitting the employee, she was saying the guy's name?
Because she was mad at him.
God damn it.
I told him.
Jeff, God damn it.
Well, my name is Mark.
Damn it, Jeff.
You're Jeff in my heart.
April DeBaro is charged with two simple battery, like I said,
public indecency and disorderly conduct.
Well, because truthfully, the hitting is a violent thing,
and you don't know where she's coming from.
I'm glad she stopped hitting and started neuting it out with peeing.
She takes her clothes off, and that's another thing.
And then she bends down to pee.
And so that moment-
I love that you think she i think she just
stood flat oh no she's squat dan no she's i have her squatting in my head as well and i have the
employees befuddled like what what is this she's squatting down she's trickle down economics she's
squatting down and there's a moment where it's not coming yet so like and she's yelling at people to
not look at her yeah Don't look at me.
And they're wondering, is this a breathing exercise?
She's just kind of going compact
so she can get herself together.
Get really down low.
She's huddled up.
That's our bad.
We forced her.
There's also a moment where they're like,
we can mop this up,
but thank God she didn't take a shit on the floor.
Right.
Well, the cops got there.
And then she steps through it and starts running.
And now she's tracked it through.
Oh, God.
It's like a raccoon.
You can't trust ADV.
She's like a raccoon.
She knocks over trash cans.
Fayetteville Police Department spokesman Anne-Marie Burdett.
A-M-B.
Anne-Marie Burdett.
Isn't that who leaves the light on for you?
Anne-Marie Burdett.
That's Tom.
I'm Anne-Marie Burdett.
And I'll leave the light on for you. Said that officers on April. That's Tom. I'm Ann Marie Boudet. And I'll leave the light on for you.
Said that officers on April 29th showed up at the Walmart in response to this call at approximately what time?
When do you think this went down at a Walmart?

And in a month, Nosebleeds drops on UFC Fight Pass.
It's cheap seats, basically, with the old UFC footage, and we'll tell you exactly.
But not even just fights.
Stuff from The Ultimate Fighter, stuff from pre-fights, post-fight interviews.
Sketches with.
It's everything just in the world of
that sport and athleticism that you guys have mined for so many great jokes oh my god dan worked
on it was so funny we and we do fake beer commercials and new reality show commercials
and you know profile pieces on people who don't exist rob corddry tony hale andy richter john
ham marilyn rice cub all these great people participated in it. It's so much fun.
The Nosebleeds on UFC Fight Pass coming up.
All right, David, we recorded a sketch with you.
I love that you're doing these things.
They're like radio play sketches.
It was so much fun.
Please tell the folks about it.
Thanks.
Yeah, it started as an idea to maybe do an album.
I love those old Adam Sandler albums.
Donald McDonald did Ridiculous, which is really great. an idea to maybe do like an album. I love those old Adam Sandler albums. Donald did,
um,
ridiculous,
which is really great.
And then it just doesn't seem like people were really doing that.
And so I thought I would try to write an album and then it,
uh,
it just started creating these little worlds.
And so I just kept writing and then it became like a cathartic thing to kind
of do daily,
just writing stuff and a really good way to reach out to people.
You know,
I think like being
huddled up and everyone at home it's been an interesting thing to like step back out into
the world and some people can do it easier than others depending on what uh like safety concerns
you have at home or otherwise so everyone had good gear and and zoom and the ability to kind
of do it remotely so it just it's really fun way to, yeah, just check in with people.
But it's been great.
I'm going to release it as probably a scripted podcast called Intercepts.
It may even be out by the time this comes out.
I don't know.
It's awesome.
Hopefully there's a link to subscribe because, yeah, I'm excited about it.
It's been really fun.
You guys were great, of course, as expected.
Thanks, Paul.
A hilarious alien-human interaction,
and your character was so dumb and fun,
and we just had a blast,
and it was so fun to do something,
step outside of ourselves and do something different.
I just love it so much.
We love this medium.
I think podcasting is so wonderful.
I interact with my own podcast in a way
that makes it feel so personal.
I'm walking around through my neighborhood listening to people in between my ears
to hear sketches in that way is just kind of fun too it's just i hope everybody checks it out
what else can people hear and see of yours dave i made a right before things shut down i filmed
a set at the dynasty typewriter and then a bunch of animators and various visual effects people helped.
Like for the first year of lockdown and quarantine and all that, just editing nonstop.
And that's on, if you go to davidhansberger.com, there's a link to watch it on Vimeo with no ads.
And then it's on YouTube for free with ads.
It's called Big Nothingness.
Great.
And that was the last kind of stand-up thing.
It's available as an album too, like everywhere you would listen to stand-up albums but i think the visual is
pretty fun i can't wait so everybody check it out big nothingness and uh dan before we got
away for the break what did we okay we were trying to guess what time woman ran it so speak about big
nothingness april d barrel went went after it as i said hit for the. But isn't there, like I said at the very beginning,
when you're like someone got angry about something at Walmart,
I'm like, how many people just kept shopping, David?
Oh, so many.
Especially if it happened when you guys think it happened
because that's just people.
If you're also in a Walmart at 3 a.m.,
like David guessed it, they're just like,
I don't have time for this.
Don't look at her. The only thing I care about like, I don't have time for this. Don't look at her.
The only thing I care about
is if self-checkout's open.
That's it.
And can I read this?
Teenagers in tactical gear
went sprinting by,
slipped,
fell,
kept running,
no acknowledgement
of what they'd slipped in
or what they'd seen,
just running.
Some time out in the wild
you're going to slip
on some raccoon shit.
Before we go back over
at both persons' guesses,
I want to do a couple shout-outs
for people who support us over on the Patreon.
We love all of you.
That's one of the perks of doing that.
Not only do you support us, that's a perk, but we perk you back by saying thanks so much.
Darren Tandberg.
Tandberg.
Tandberg.
Have you ever ridden a Tandberg bike?
Tandberg sounds to me like you see that burned into wood outside of a cabin.
The Tanbergs.
The Tanbergs were here.
It just feels like something I've seen.
Again, a Tanberg bike is the front of it is a regular bike, and the back is recumbent.
And then another one, a true local, Melinda.
Thank you, Melinda.
Melinda.
Just a single name.
And then another town.
Melinda.
It's like my lady.
Melinda. Joel Deziel my lady. Melinda.
Joel Deziel.
How would you say that?
D-E-Z-I-E-L.
Diesel.
Diesel.
I like Diesel.
Diesel.
Yeah, I like that a lot.
Thanks, Joel.
Joel Deziel sounds like something that the three villains from Superman 2 who went hurtling
through space in a parallelogram would say,
Diesel before Zod!
I was going to say, it also sounds like a hair product
that only existed in 1996.
Did you put the Diesel in your hair?
Yeah.
Yeah, and I can't get it out.
Okay, one time-
Who are you more likely to hang out with?
Someone with that last name, Diesel, or something like that,
that refuses to be called Diesel,
or someone with that name who insists on being called Diesel. I think it's the guy
who refuses to be called Diesel.
Do not call me Diesel.
What's up, Diesel?
Only you call you that.
Get him out of here. You said 3 a.m.,
right, David Huntsberg? I did.
That's when the prophylactic shenanigans... Huntsberger said
3 a.m., I said 11.56,
and that was just a round guess. They were dispatched
to the Walmart at Fayetteville Pavilion. Is this 9 a.m i said 11 56 and that was just a round guess they were dispatched to the walmart at
fayetteville pavilion is this 9 a.m i'm gonna start hitting people 6 38 a.m oh this is morning
this is a little wow just a little loving the sun's up early in the morning yeah the responding
officer arrived at the front entrance of the Walmart to assist a fellow officer already on the scene who had his taser pointed at April D. Barrow.
I mean, don't pee, ma'am, because I will light that piss on fire.
She was handcuffed and placed in the rear seat of a patrol car while officers investigated the situation.
But, okay, for real, this is your patrol car.
You've got to drive around all day long.
Do you put her in her?
Hose her down.
You hose her down? What do you do to this gal? She's got to drive around all day long. Do you put her in her... Hose her down. You hose her down?
What do you do to this gal?
She's got pee on her legs, guaranteed.
Right?
Yeah.
I mean, like, you don't want...
So then you're going to get the car detailed.
It's like...
Through the investigation, officers learned that Barrow entered the Walmart and began
asking employees for prophylactics.
Barrow also used profanity...
Oh, do you have a rubber?
Do you have a rubber?
You guys have condoms!
I think she's asking him for them.
Oh, that could work too.
What if you're the Walmart creator?
I just want to borrow.
Barrow borrows.
Give me one.
Able D. Barrow also used profanity and threw items while running around the store.
Which had to be fun.
A witness slash employee told police Barrow allegedly struck her multiple times in the arm with a closed fist.
That's like a two for flinching type thing.
Multiple times in the arm.
Hey, at least she didn't hit her in the meal ticket in the face.
Witnesses reported to police that at some point,
Barrow took her clothes off and urinated on the floor.
They don't specify if we're talking like a crouch
or a straight up flat footed locked knees, which is what I think.
It's a crouch and everyone had to wait for her. Like is she gonna do is she gonna like pounce and punch someone
else in the arms and and burdette said a store employee walked Barrow out of the building with
the employee saying that Barrow continued to scream and hit on the door sure walk of shame
once outside Barrow put her clothes on I love that fine it's over okay over i'll put my
fucking clothes on it's over she definitely tripped you guys got the barrel hope you're all happy so
you know yes it was a high school crush we stayed up all night it was magical we shared our first
kiss around 2 a.m things really took off and i was reliving an alternate world where I was this person's girlfriend and it was
magical and then we took an
edible that made me kind of hot and also
have to pee and I said I'll
go get them they're just right in the door
and now here I am putting my
clothes back on
that dragon over there yelled at me
where are my culottes
you know she tripped over her pants
Barrow put her clothes on outside the store prior to the officers arriving.
She tripped over her pants and fell into the firewood.
But they noted.
Right.
And then leaned against the ice chest.
Hit the firewood and then it all fell down.
Then she tried to play the claw machine for a while with no quarters.
Then she wrote.
Okay.
So she just put on her top and then
she beat the Simpsons arcade game.
Pantsless, she tried
to ride one of those things.
Like the Amazant ride.
At that time of day,
people are coming in to sort of start their day
and I love her standing there detained,
naked, and having to kind of
nod to, oh, hey guys, now this is nothing.
What's up, Gary?
It's wild in there.
It's wild in there.
It's happening today.
Don't ask them where anything is in there.
Right.
Hopefully you guys are looking to raw dog it tonight because if you want condoms, this
is what happens, I guess.
I guess everyone's getting pregnant in this world, huh?
They noted that even though she was outside in dress by the time cops got there,
her conduct inside the store was observed by officers on video surveillance footage.
We will get out of here on this.
Unless you're a Patreon member, you should stick around or switch over to that
because we're going to get some fun, dumb story,
probably about the building of a workbench.
Oh, yeah.
But before we do that, I'm going to ask you guys,
how old is April
D. Barrow?
And I'm going to show you a picture of her
first. We'll put this picture on the Facebook
page. Oh, wow.
36. That was my guest pre-picture.
I think I'm sticking
with it. A youthful
36, I would say.
Considering the condition of things here.
She's like, are you serious? She here. She's like, are you serious?
36.
She's got the face of, are you serious?
36.
Dan, I think-
Hold on, Jason?
Oh, Randy?
Yeah, Jason's not here.
I would say she is 28 years old.
28 years old.
But is not aging well.
Okay.
So 28 from Randy.
What'd you say, David?
36.
36?
36?
Yeah.
Townies, if you're listening to this after the posts have already come up on the Facebook
or the Instagram or the Twitter, go and look, then make your guess.
Yeah.
Okay?
Pause the podcast.
Give me a second.
Go look.
Now you're back.
So glad you're here.
Join our Facebook page.
I hope you made yourself a sandwich.
We're like the cops.
We put funny stuff on Facebook.
Right.
Ready?
Mm-hmm.
April DeBaro. DeB? April DeBaro
is
40 years old.
Oh, man!
She looks good, David.
She looks good. I like it.
Perfect age for a midlife
crisis. This guy was the prom king.
He was second team all-conference in a
number of sports.
Almost asked him to the Sadie Hawkins, and she didn't.
Almost.
She's lived with that for so long.
Snowball.
So close.
Hey, Judd Apatow, this is 40.
Yeah.
She will not stifle her emotion anymore.
There you go.
Hey, guys, what a fun Friday romp.
Agreed.
We don't need Jason.
This is a real treat.
Again, congrats to Jay working on the movie.
It's so nice to have David Huntsberger here.
Check out Big Nothingness on YouTube.
Yep.
