The Welcome everybody to another episode of Dr. Man, Dr. Mike's medical podcast.

I'm your host, Dr. Mike Todorovich, joined, as always, by my co-host.

Fresh off the set of Wicked Number 2, Ariana Grande.

How are you, Ariana?

Don't you hate it how some people always need their opinions validated? Am I right?

That's good. Hey, I like that. That's good. That's good. How are you, Maddie? What's been,

what's been happening? How's your toilet? Um, potentially broken. broken. What did you do? I know. As a mighty big bowl of chickpeas soup, I believe you ingested probably. It's just got a strange smell. I'm emitting from it. Oh, I could flush it. No, that's way. No, it's definitely flashed. Oh, okay.

Let's talk about the topic today at hand, which is protein digestion and absorption.

In a previous episode, we spoke about carbohydrate digestion and absorption.

I got up in front of my students and there would have been, you know, 200 odd students there. And I said, you know, very nervous, bumbling, falling over my own words. All right, students, today,

we're, today I'm going through mouth to anus. And then they all, well, there was more of a

longer pause and then a bit of a chuckle. And I went, I'm so sorry. What I meant to say is

we're going through digestive system, starting at the mouth and finishing at the anus. And it wasn't a joke.

And I thought, okay, my lecturing career is going to finish just as quickly as it began. But luckily,

the students had a good sense of humour and they were fine with it. So I made the joke every

week after that. No, I definitely did not. So last episode when we spoke about carbohydrate digestion,
