Episodes

Darin and Mike talk about random and pointless stuff including Lost, Dexter, the worst movies of all time, weird Subway orders in a gas station full of wrong, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles and other road movies, Breaking Bad, salad dressing that could end a relationship, Star Wars Episode 2, and Uncle Rico.  Oh, and Winnie the Pooh.

IDS's first Live Episode (kind of) - Darin tells his epic adventure through customer service to score some lime sherbet, and Mike rambles on about Kool-Aid and its glory.  Just Stops include terrible customer service and people who just HAVE to go through their fast food while still in the drive-through lane.  Somehow, two dental stories show up - both involving pliers, broken teeth, pain, and laughter.  Darin finds a legal loophole allowing him to buy a quesadilla maker as a Christmas gift, and finally - we go through our favorite (or, at least, most tolerable) Christmas songs.

A 2020 time capsule?  Why?  Also - some people STILL think our show is about IBS.  Darin discovers a new spoon, and tells a story about a heist on Jesse Jackson's fork.  People in the family who LOVE to spoil The Mandalorian.  We have some older dog tales (smart and stupid).  A couple of Just Stops, and finally - listener questions which lead us to talk about carpentry, Lost, Stephen King, salsa, Sanka, and bad Christmas presents!

Mike clearly puts no effort into the podcast, and Darin discusses the 51st birthday of Sesame Street!  The Zero candy bar shows up again, and Darin shares stories of shopping cart fraud and impromptu Best Buy customer service.  The two actually agree on movies that are so bad they're good, and this week's Just Stop is interrupted by Mike's unfortunate incident (see first line in the show notes).  Somehow, Pac-Man, Emmet Otter (and his Jugband Christmas), Mario, Superman 3, and MacGyver get woven into this glorious tapestry of the idiotic.  Finally, some random stories that are sure to get Darin in trouble as soon as his wife listens to this episode.

IDS actually gets slightly (but not really) kinda political as we discuss the election results.  Darin reads a book!  The Lord of the Rings play is pretty much exactly how you would imagine it, and we've got three "Just Stop"'s this week!  Tons of listener questions (including Halloween costume stories) - and somehow we throw Zero bars in there!  Oh, and Darin has to watch Matrix 4 and John Wick 4 on release date.

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.  Darin's tired of getting the Led out, honey-do lists, and teriyaki chicken bread bowl salads.

Darfin and Mike are back with a special Halloween Episode!!  Hang out with us while we discuss our picks for the top Halloween movies of all time.  Plus, Darfin is sick of people who can't take pictures and Mike would like you to just order your food like a normal person, please.

The Irritable Dad Syndrome Podcast returns!! After the 7th (and final) episode, Mike and Darin decide to mount an impressively ridiculous comeback (one week later). Mike loses it over the need to constantly change passwords, and is shocked by Darin's news that his wife doesn't understand the basic layout of the Millennium friggin' Falcon. The Official Keanu Reeves Fight (TM) takes place, as Mike struggles to understand how he can continue with a co-host who doesn't appreciate John Wick or Neo. D...

Darin and Mike talk about Eddie Van Halen and Chili Challis.  Darin joins a fitness cult and tells stories about his mom.  Mike is sick of unnecessary stoppers in this week's Just Stop! - and Darin goes off on people who mow their lawns in geometrically obnoxious 45 degree angles.  We debut (kind of) a new segment with a spooky twist (I mean, it's October) - Down the Tubes.  Darin voices his frustrations about sponsors and ends up planking and asking questions.  And Mike finally confronts the reason he's socially awkward - Airwolf!

IDS# 6 - We nearly broke the quacker on this one!  Join in while Mike and Darin talk about Bombas socks, Breaking Bad, and people who back into spaces.  Mike offers an apology to both Beverly Clearly and Judy Blume - and then ruins it by ranting about people who judge what parts of food are "the best part".  Darfin reveals his Little Debbie snack cake problem, and how he organizes CD's.  Finally - we end with questions from you!

Darin and Mike talk about the "Backyard Comedy Bash" that had a surprise guest.  Darin shares an exciting update (and potential conclusion) on the giant spider saga.  How hard is is to pronounce Darin?  Just Stop this week includes self-checkout bullying and the record industry constantly re-releasing stuff.  We discuss the latest in Peep news as well as give an update on future guests.  Finally - we answer a listener question about Superman II.

Episode 4......buddy!   Reviews are in!  Appearance on The Life Radio Show Hosted by Don Smith Just Stop!:  Toxic Positivity and Cereal......and floss? Judy Blume Skunk burial and early Christmas The Old Man and the Onion Pod Deck Darin's appearance on David Letterman

Our third episode, where we dive into Popcorn Law, chasing burritos, music reaction videos, Soundgarden, Johnny Cash, meeting Bono and Billy Bob, and more!

Week 2!! A failed hit on a spider, courting "Pam", musical primates, a drunken soccer ball mishap, a bad choice for robo-killer, and "My Pleasure".

Our first episode before we had a title or even understood how to record this stuff!
