Darin: [00:00:00] The show is nothing without the writers. Yeah. So, and with, and by the way, thank you so much to our writers, Gary. Keith, uh, Sarah. Yeah. If we didn't have Wally, God, Wally Wally. I mean, when he came in we were 

Mike: like, okay. He's, he is a 

Darin: son of a bitch. Well, he's your cousin. Yeah. And we hired him. Yeah. But there we've got great writers.

He demands, you call him Waldorf. Yeah. Stupid.

What'd you say? You can't have a pie without. Cool Whip. Cool whip. Cool whip. Yeah. You mean cool Whip? Yeah. Cool Whip. Welcome to irritable Dead syndrome, Cincinnati's Comedy podcast. Ah, that's funny. Here are your hosts, Mike and Darren. Hey, I'm Darren. I am Mike. Welcome to Irritable Dad syndrome. This is gonna be a doozy of an episode, because tonight or today depends on what time you listen.

I'm gonna be on tv. Oh, and I'm gonna talk all about the special funky deets. All right? 

Mike: Yeah. I'm gonna talk about an American classic hotdog. [00:01:00] Oh, yes. We're gonna go deep into hotdog 

Darin: lore. Tonight, you'll hear the rest of the story. You'll hear the rest of the story about hot dogs. 

Mike: About hot dogs. How was your Father's Day?

It was awesome. Yeah? Yeah. We went to Loveland. Okay. You know where that is? I do. It's up the The way there. Right next to the creek. 

Darin: Yep. Well, you go over the river. So 

Mike: the cool thing about Father's Day Yeah. Is if you are a dad. Mm-hmm. Father you. Can say that you want to do anything and everyone else feels obligated by a sense of guilt and duty.

Uh, do what it is that you wanna do. You said duty. Yeah, the call of duty. Yeah. So I like to go to record stores. Why do you like to go to record stores? Mike? I like to look at and purchase records. It's your jam. I thought you like to stream all your music. I do. Mm-hmm. And then when I buy music, I buy it on vinyl.

But you can't take a record player with you, Mike, get, get off my show. This is my show. I can talk about whatever I want. So I like to buy the 

Darin: vinyls. Do I even need to be here? I [00:02:00] went 

Mike: specifically Uhhuh, specifically looking for, okay. Noel Gallagher. Okay. Vinyl. 

Darin: He was. He was in 

Mike: Oasis. He was in Oasis. Mm-hmm.

I love Noel Gallagher. Yeah. The man can do no wrong. Yeah. And he has just put out an amazing album with the flying birds. Exactly. Yeah. No, Gallagher and the High Flying Birds. Mm-hmm. The stupidest name for a band. And then it's grown on me over. No, it was 

Darin: stupid in the beginning. No. Uh, Sammy Hagar. Remember when he, and then the drum ma tequila?

No, he and the drummer for the chili peppers. Yeah. Joe Foot Chicken Foot. Yeah, that was a stupid name for a, I like that name. I like that name. Okay. I like Chicken Foot. I liked the music that they put out, but Chicken Foot was a stupid 

Mike: name for an album, so the new Noel Gallagher is Council Skies and it is 

Darin: great.

Yeah, what I listened to was really good. Yeah. 

Mike: Um, and so previously my favorite Noel Gallagher album was Who Built The Moon, which is the album just before that. So they had at Plaid Room [00:03:00] records, a lot of singles. Now, the cool thing about Noel Gallagher and his singles, he sees into the future, he's running this like, it's the year 3000.

Okay? He, years ago, said, Hey, Nobody's really buying albums anymore. I'm gonna put out singles and eps. So he'll put out one song and then a couple of BSides along with it and just put that out. Nice. And then a few months later, he does it again. Mm-hmm. A few months later, he does it again pretty soon. He's got a whole album out there and he never released anything.

Yeah. And then he releases an album that has some of those, but then a whole bunch of other stuff. So if you're trying to collect all of Noel Gallagher's stuff, Uhhuh, you end up being an idiot like me. Good luck. Yeah. Going to the store and it's like, oh, this one's on that version. This one's on that. And you collect it all.

I have. Three or four of his albums, but I really have about six albums. When it's all said and done, 

Darin: I'm over here. I I, 

Mike: I had nothing to talk about tonight. Right. It's so hard to, you can't get a word at edgewise when I have nothing to talk about because I don't 

Darin: give Billy Idol. Yeah. His last two uhhuh, [00:04:00] uh, releases were four song eps.

Yeah. And I'm thinking, why not just wait and release one? Yeah. And with like eight, maybe 10 songs on it. Yeah. But I have a feeling he's going to do that. Yeah. I have a, just a suspicion. Yeah. He's gonna release another EP and then he's, cuz that's what Sister Hazel did Uhhuh, they did a series called Elements.

Yeah. They fire wind, water and and Sky or something. Uhhuh and then they them all on one disc. Yeah. The 

Mike: days of the album. Kids today don't understand what an album is. I know. So I got a vinyl. From the band that shall not be named right, and I put it on. And I was listening to it, and the album ended after the sixth song.

Mm-hmm. And you had to flip the record over. Yeah. You had to get up, go over and flip the record over. Right. And started it. Now, back when this album originally came out, it came out on tape. Mm-hmm. All right. So you had to flip the tape. Right. And then the song started in the next side, and I was like, whoa, what happened?

That's a [00:05:00] hell of a song to start the second side out. That that comes out of the gate, slam it. Yes. Like the sixth song kind of ends on a down note. Yes. And then the seventh comes in and beats you across the face. I thought that's how they should release this. And then it hit me. It was like Mike. That's how they release it.

That's how they really, it's not how you listen to it anymore. It's all like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. But this is how they intended it. Mm-hmm. To listen, same thing with Pink Floyd. Yeah. You take all the Pink Floyd stuff and they'll have like one really long, you need to drop two shrooms an acid and look a frog to, to enjoy this side.

And the other side is just like, well, what do we got in the studio? A dog, a burrito, and a and a tambourine. Let's go. Come on. Yeah, let's talk about that. Yeah. So the days of the album are, are numbered. So Noel, I know Gall, that bothers me and it, it bothers me as well, but I love the way Noel does it. It's like he keeps his name up there.

Mm-hmm. It's like, oh, he's got a few songs that came out, a few songs that came out. So you're always think me. Yeah. I'm always thinking about him. And then boom, an album hits and it's like, 

Darin: What happened? Yeah, yeah. [00:06:00] No, there are some artists like Willie Nelson. Yeah. One of his greatest albums was The Redheaded Stranger.

Mm-hmm. Every song, uh, the whole song or the whole album told one story. Yeah. Throughout, you know? Yeah. You could listen to the songs individually. Yeah. But when you listen to the album Yes. When you listen to the whole collection. Yeah, yeah, 

Mike: yeah. Yeah. It's like, uh, Bruce Springs seeing two albums, uh, Nebraska and the Ghost of Tom Joe.

Yeah. Told the story all the way through. Yeah. The wall. I don't see how anybody does. Like, every time I'm listening to the wall, I even if I listen to like one song, they're like, all right, we have to go back and listen in the flesh and go all the way through the whole thing. And then by the end of it, I don't wanna go to work 

Darin: anymore.

But, you know, there, there are songs that are meant to be played first. Yes. Bon Jovi, lay your hands on me. Yeah. That song is meant to be played first. Yeah, 

Mike: exactly. You know, so, yeah. I'm not gonna mention the band that shall not be named again, but they do have a residency coming up and they're celebrating a specific album.

Mm-hmm. And God in the band that shall not be named forums, there's [00:07:00] an influx of crazy people. An influx You said an influx. Ooh. Saying hey. They should kick off the show with the third song from the album after the album that they're doing the show for. And all of the rest of us normal, sane people are like, are you outta your mind?

Us God-fearing Christians, us God-fearing Christian. You two fans, no, sorry. Us God-fearing Christian. The band that shall not be named fans. No, 

Darin: I think it's worse. You're like, that's like calling him the artist, formerly known as Prince The artist. Okay. Yeah. The band that should not be named, everybody knows who in the hell you're talking about.

Okay. 

Mike: Okay. V3 Uhhuh, they come out and they should start with Zoo Station. You have to start with Zoo Station. This is a celebration of Zoo tv v3. 

Darin: So next? Yeah. Yeah. It's the, the sequel. You can't 

Mike: start it with a different se. There will be. There will be a riot. And I've told them, I've been in there, I've used my real name.

I used my real name in that group. Oh. Oh. And I said, I Mike. Mm-hmm. Stand by this statement, Uhhuh. If they play [00:08:00] anything other than this song, there will be a riot. And I got lots of likes. I got Huggies, the huggy emoji. Oh, okay. All kinds of 

Darin: people there. There's nothing better than an 

Mike: internet hug. And then somebody says, well, why can't they play this?

It's because that would be a crime against humanity if they 

Darin: did that. Yeah. Open up with the 

Mike: the first song, the Hell's Wrong 

Darin: with You. Yeah. If they, it's like they did on that tour that shall not be named. Yeah. That the first song was The first song on the album. Yeah. Yeah. Album. Why am I talking like Jay Leno?

Hey, anyway, you did 

Mike: and if they did it then now, now, okay. They're not gonna play the album in order because then there would be another riot. Okay. If they don't follow Zoo Station with the fly, I'll get up and start hurling. 

Darin: Bad words. So do you want the songs played in 

Mike: order or not? No. No. And they've already said they're not going to, and I know the reason they're not going to is cuz Zoo tv, when you went to go see it, you saw Zoo Station, then the Fly, then even better than the Real Thing, the first song, the seventh song and the second song, that's the order you go in, you kick their ass, you kick their ass more Uhhuh.

Then you come back to it, the holy [00:09:00] crap, the acid's kicking in. Then you bring it 

Darin: down. When I went to see Offspring Uhhuh, they were doing the 25th anniversary of smash. Yeah. Their greatest album. Okay. And, uh, I didn't even realize at the time that they did not play Come out and play. Yeah. In order Uhhuh.

And it was wasn't until they were like wrapping up and I'm like, hold on a second. And then they closed that with Come out and play. Ah, yeah. Yeah. Then they took a break, came back and did like six songs. Yeah. Yeah. Non smash. Mm-hmm. And I was like, Okay. I'll let that, yeah, I, I was gonna let that slide. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

This portion of our show is brought to you by vinyl. It's making a comeback, you know, that's right. Now back to you guys in the studio

for Father's Day. Yes. Uh, we went to see the flash. 

Mike: I really wanna see it. 

Darin: Don't tell me it sucks. Okay? I'm not. Okay, because I didn't think it sucked. Mm. Don't go on the internet at all. I'm not. You've probably already seen no many, many [00:10:00] spoilers. I have not. Cause they're everywhere now. I'm not looking.

They're exploding. The spoilers. Okay. I'm not so, okay. And I'm, I won't tell you nothing. I've somehow managed to avoid all the, I didn't think it sucked. I enjoyed it. Yeah. We had a good time. Yeah. And, uh, so yeah, that's what we did for Father's Day and Libby got me a David Letterman, the, uh, book of bumpers.

It's a photo book Yeah. Of all the in and out things that they used to corner spray. Yeah. Really, really cool. Yeah. So, yeah, 

Mike: it was awesome. Was there a stinger at the end of the flash? 

Darin: Yes. And it's not worth staying through the cracks. Okay. So I will tell you that it, it didn't have anything that you could totally take it out.

Yeah. So, and it doesn't lead up to anything. Idris 

Mike: Elba played the Flash. Ezra Miller. Ezra Miller, not Idris Elba. 

Darin: At the beginning of the podcast, I mentioned that I'm gonna be on the tv. Yeah, I am going to be in a promo. For Rewind tv. Ooh, the best classic comedies from the eighties and nineties. Are they putting your image on the Oh, yeah.

Oh, you're gonna be in there? Yes, I am [00:11:00] on the promo. Okay. Okay. All right. So when, uh, uh, where I work uhhuh, uh, I make promos for antenna tv. Yeah. And rewind tv. Two completely different networks. Yep. So Rewind focuses mainly on shows from the eighties and nineties, and I wrote this promo and, uh, they had said, well, what if we.

Instead of doing it this way, what if we shot some footage and put a guy on camera, uh, like a salesperson, like an infomercial. Yeah. And what if we did it this way? Mm-hmm. And I said, well, we, we can totally do that. And they said, okay. And so they brought me up to Chicago. Yeah. And we were gonna use a person, uh, sitting on a couch frustrated watching television, uhhuh and that person.

Uh, wasn't really like, I, I don't know. I'm not really, I, I don't know. They would've done it Uhhuh, but I could tell they weren't very comfortable. Mm-hmm. So I said, well, I mean, I can do it. And like, oh, great. Yeah. So I ended up doing it. Okay. Now, I didn't write myself into the promo. Mm-hmm. I stepped in. It's like, fine, I'm okay doing it [00:12:00] cuz I know exactly what I want.

And I've been on TV before. It's a 

Mike: Darren Cox joint. It's 

Darin: a, it is, it It is, yeah. So it's almost finished. Okay. Yeah, it's, we've got a couple more revisions to make. They're 

Mike: doing the cgi. That's right. 

Darin: All that stuff. They're changing my, uh, I've got hair in the promo. I don't, I don't, I'm a guy, I'm a guy sitting on a couch watching tv.

Um, uh, I'm frustrated. I can, I can do frustrated, so, but yeah. I'm gonna be on TV and I'm gonna let everybody know when the, uh, when the promo's ready to go, but I'm excited. That's awesome. That's one of the things that we did when we, when I was up in Chicago. That's awesome. We shut that promo. Yeah, and I haven't been on TV in a while.

Yeah. Yeah. I used to be, they would throw me on every now and then. Yeah. When I worked at Channel five, Uhhuh, one of my favorite when, uh, when Ohio was considering changing the law mm-hmm. To, uh, or changing the, uh, blood alcohol level for drunk driving. Yeah. And I, from a point something to appoint something else mm-hmm.

They were tossing that [00:13:00] idea around. So they said, well, how drunk are you if you're at this level? So they were gonna do an experiment, get people to that level, and then just, and, and, and see if they pass a DUI exam. Uhhuh right. So the, one of the main anchors, Mike says, Darren, you want to, you want to get drunk and being on tv?

Yeah, sure. So we went to a police station. Okay. Somebody came and got me, yeah. Drove me to the police station and I had. Four beers or six beers, I think. Okay. Well I had a DUI exam maybe. Right? And they did the thing with the, you know, you had to take the, the four steps uhhuh and you had to do the alphabet and whatever.

Uhhuh. 

Mike: I, I, I would love to do that. I, I, because I watched a lot of DUI videos. Right. And I would love to say, like, I, I wonder if I could do that sober, 

Darin: right. That's what I was telling the guy and Well, and make fun of me all you want. Yeah. But they did the light thing and I said I was concerned. I'm like, I have a lazy eye.

Yeah. I don't want them thinking that I got drunk and my eyes start crossing. Yeah. Cuz they're normally [00:14:00] like that. Uhhuh. And the police officer says, you have nothing to worry about uhhuh. That the, your eyes will, it's whether you're vibrating or not, eyes vibrate. Kind of, sort of when you get really hammered.

Yeah. So, um, I did that. And, uh, so I was in, I was drunk on tv. Yeah, that was fun. Yeah. And a few years before that, they did another experiment at Channel five. They wanted to see, um, uh, my buddy David was getting ready to, uh, do some training in the break room, uhhuh, and we had cameras set up or whatever. I go in there and I just start tearing him apart.

It was like, I was, I, I need this room. Yeah. He says, well, I booked this room. I was like, damn it, David. And I was just throwing a fit. You know what, fine, I'll, I'll just do my thing somewhere else. And I stormed out. And all the people there were like, what's, what was his problem? Right? They told me, he said, Darren, go in there and throw a fit less than like 30 seconds or whatever, and storm out.

Then our anchor walks in there and says, okay, so what we're doing is an exam here. Not an exam, but a test. Mm-hmm. And we want to know [00:15:00] if you can describe that guy to, uh, a sketch artist. Oh, say if, if he had come in and rob David or whatever. Mm-hmm. And so the girl had to describe me to a sketch artist, and she got really close Uhhuh.

But at the end of the, the exam, I looked kinda like Matt Damon. She forgot the, uh, she had the, the. The face. Yeah. Pretty good. Uhhuh. She forgot the goatee. Okay. And the uh, and the glasses. Okay. Yeah. All right. Oh, uh, stump Woodley mentioned another time I was on TV when I worked at Channel nine. Yeah. And I'll get back to the DUI in in a second.

I'm working at Channel nine in Cincinnati and one of our promo guys is walking through and he is just like very frustrated and like, Just feverishly trying to figure out what's going on. Yeah. I was like, I was like, what's going on man? Do you need any help? And he goes, we're trying to put this promo together.

Um, do you wanna be at a promo? I'm like, uh, sure. Yeah. What do you need me to do? And he says, we're just gonna see your [00:16:00] face. That that's all. I mean, we're just gonna show like part of your face, and I'm telling you people won't even recognize you. Okay. I was like, why would I wanna be in a promo that no one's gonna recognize me because.

We need you to be a sex predator.

And I said, okay. So they, they had me standing there. Yeah. And they had just half of my face lit. Where once that's dark and ominous. Oh yeah. And the other side. Uh, yeah. And uh, but you could clearly tell who I was. Yeah. You could clearly tell that was me. Yeah. And it was like, you know, he may be on your street near your home.

Is there a sex predator living in your neighborhood? Yeah. Yeah. And then it's me. Yeah. You know, and I showed it to my mom and she goes, this is a joke. Right? So I was in the promo, Uhhuh, I was a sex predator. Yeah. In the promo. The next day you were portraying this? I was, I was portraying a sex predator in the promo.

Yeah. Okay. I'm not a sex predator. Right. The day after this thing airs, Uhhuh, Libby and I were out. We went to a, uh, grader's ice cream. We're [00:17:00] sitting there eating ice cream together. This woman and her kid were two tables over. She takes a look at me. She 

Mike: leaves,

Darin: she got up. Got the hell outta there. Oh man. Back to the dui. Yeah. So people think that I'm a sex predator who has a dui and also I have a sketch artist of me. So clearly I'm, yeah, like violent. You're all over the place. I know. My concern. Mm-hmm. The thing I was worried about with the DUI is like I knew taking this DUI test whether I passed or failed, I ain't going to jail.

Yeah. Because it's something that we're doing for Yeah. For an 

Mike: experiment. That'd be kinda, they did take you to jail, all that. Yeah. It wouldn't happened. Yeah. Know I was at the 

Darin: police station, but I mean, you know, I wasn't nervous at all. Yeah. And so I know that anybody who's driving who is taking one of these is nervous as hell.

They do not want to be arrested. Right. And so that would probably impair. Maybe how they took the test. I feel responsible to say, if [00:18:00] you know, please, if you're out, do not drink and drive. Yeah. That's stupid. Just don't, it's, it's just stupid. Call a cab, uh, call an Uber. Call me. I'll come get you. Yeah. Do not drink and drive.

Yeah. Don't do me. This portion of irritable dad syndrome is brought to you by the AMC Gremlin. A new standard of subcompact cars. It's actually shorter than Vega and Pento, but inside there's plenty of room. With Gremlin, you can order the luxury of optional Levi's interior sound X. All transistor am radio and cigarette lighter.

Need to overtake a slower driver. Gremlin gives you the kind of response that makes driving fun. Whatever you are up to, gremlin is up to it.

Gremlin the economy car. That doesn't look like one. See your local AMC dealer today. Now back to the show. You know how you're always saying, wouldn't it be great if you could watch a movie again for the first time? [00:19:00] Yeah. You can kind of do that when you watch it with your kid who's watching a movie for the first time.

Yeah. Yeah. Over the weekend, Cameron was, had a sleepover. Libby and I watched two movies with Jacob. We watched the Shawshank Redemption. Oh, and Fargo. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's a good one. Yeah. Okay. He had never seen either of them. Yeah. Yeah. He was outta his mind uhhuh with Shawshank Redemption. I wish we had seen them in alternate order.

Mm-hmm. Because as much as I love Fargo, it doesn't hold up as well. The heck do you mean? Okay, so it it does, there's a have you've seen Fargo, right? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. There's a scene in Fargo where she goes and meets her friend for dinner. Yeah. Well, yeah. He's like, I'm just so lonely and he wants to give her a hug and whatever.

It had nothing to do with the movie. They could have taken that completely out, cuz I didn't quite understand it then and now really don't understand why it's in the movie now. Yeah, that 

Mike: movie gets overshadowed. All I can think of is, heck you mean heck [00:20:00] you 

Darin: mean, but heck you mean, yeah. The heck. Do you mean he shot 

Mike: me in the face?

You lied to me in the street in Berg Face. Yeah, you, you, 

Darin: you replied to me. Well, you know, they put that true coat on at the factory. Yeah. Okay. Real good then. So you going to the gophers game? Oh yeah, you betcha. Oh yeah, yeah. Oh, you betcha. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he's here.

Yeah. I'll catch him for you hun. Get him. Yeah. It's dad. So I loved Fargo Uhhuh, uh, watching it again. Yeah. I, for forgot. Oh my God. When, uh, Proudfoot comes in there is beating Steve Bohemi across the back with his belt. Yeah. I don't remember. I'm like, I was like, okay. This is a lot more violent than I, it is a very violent, I mean, I remembered the wood chipper scene Uhhuh, and I knew that was coming up.

Yeah. But there's, uh, some other things in there that I forget. I don't remember a 

Mike: lot of it now, but my, yeah. My movie from the Cohen Brothers is the Big Lebowski. 

Darin: Yeah. Well, you know, that's just like, uh, 

Mike: your opinion, man. Okay. And he goes back and forth with Raising Arizona, but Big [00:21:00] has a Raising Arizona place.

My jam, my heart. Okay. I love raising Arizona so much. Yeah. Hey, he's 

Darin: blow up. Funny. Shakes it all. Well, no, unless round is funny. Um, uh, but anyway, so Fargo didn't quite hold up. Uhhuh Shaw Shank Redemption. Oh, Jacob loved. Every frame of that move. Did he 

Mike: lose his mind when the pebble went through the, went through the poster.

Okay. Andrew set bolt upright on this, on the thing. He's like, what? Hey, what happened, 

Darin: dude, here it comes. So here, we're getting there. We're getting to the part and, uh, the, they're like, everybody in the, the gates open up. Yeah. And all the prisoners come out. Yeah. Andy's not there. And then that reminded Jacob something.

He goes, oh, that reminds me, Hey, can you pause it for a second? I'm like, no, no, no. And he's like, dad, serious. Seriously? I was like, I was like, no, I'm not. I was like, Jacob, no. Yeah, we're not, we're not gonna have a discussion. I'm not. 

Mike: No. Yeah. And then we watched this. He's like, stopping right before a Rocky Montage.

No, you're gonna let it go. 

Darin: We watched the scene Uhhuh, and then, you know, Andy, Dre [00:22:00] is there in the, the rain and 

Mike: everything. I miss my friend. 

Darin: Yeah. Andy crawled to freedom through 500 yards of smelling foul. I can't even imagine you really wanted to pause it, right? Yeah. It's like Luke, I, Hey dad, can you pause there for a second?

Yeah. So, yeah, Andrew, just find out he is his damn father. 

Mike: Andrew was going back and forth between his, uh, phone and watching. Mm-hmm. Like he would take check scores on his phone and then the instant that, uh, you know, the warden turns around and everybody's in on 

Darin: it, Lord, it's a miracle man, up and vanished like a fart in the wind.

Nothing left but some damn rocks on a windowsill. And that cupcake on the wall. Let's ask her. Maybe she knows what say there fuzzy 

Mike: britches. Even her and throws the, yeah, I just saw, it was like the, you remember Halloween, the first Halloween where Michael Myers just sits bolt upright behind? Yeah. Yep.

That's what he did on the couch. It was kind of, he was like, What? [00:23:00] Yeah. And then like for the next, I mean, that's a long, it's probably the most satisfying ending in cinematic history. Oh yeah. I would say, yeah. Oh yeah. Like everything comes together, you see? Mm-hmm. Like you immediately wanna start the movie over.

Mm-hmm. It's kinda like, uh, it reminds me of, um, usual suspects as similar. I was just gonna say the usual 

Darin: suspects back and watch that from the beginning after you see that. Yeah. You want to go back and di what did I miss? Did you know? Yeah. Yeah. Um, I was, yeah, that's 

Mike: exactly what's gonna, movies like that.

I, I'll throw, uh, one of my favorite movies of all time is, uh, oceans 11. Mm-hmm. You see how they did it and then you go back and it's like, well, they kind of cheated a little bit. Mm-hmm. But really, if you're really, really paying attention, you can kind of see, you're like, oh, this is where they were doing that other thing.

Yeah. They're not showing you right now, but Yeah. But Oh, that's great. Yeah. Shawshank is the perfect 

Darin: movie to watch. Get busy living, or get busy dying. And I was telling Jacob, I'm like, okay, so it bombed at the movies. Yeah. Yeah. It did not do business at the theater. Mm-hmm. And they've got their speculations why nobody understood the title.[00:24:00] 

Yeah. Um, I mean, yeah, people kind of knew who Tim Robbins was. Yeah. They kind of knew who market was kinda before he was really famous. Exactly. It's before either of them were, were like Megastar Uhhuh. They'd seen them. Nobody knew who Frank Daron 

Mike: was. Writer. Yes. CL Brown was probably the biggest star in that movie at that 

Darin: point.

Yeah. Yeah. You know, you know, he's the voice of, uh, Mr. Krabs, you, you 

Mike: know, he's the Highlanders. Uh, he's the Kegan in 

Darin: the Highlander. I did not know that. I just know he's Mr. Krabs. Yeah. Yeah. So, uh, but yeah, nobody knew who any of them were. Uhhuh. And, uh, it's like based on the Stephen King novel, uh, a short story Novella.

Yeah. Novella, yeah. That nobody had read. Yeah. Read Well, and it's different. It was part of a, of like a four story series. Four 

Mike: past midnight. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Steaming King 

Darin: fan here. So it just bombed. Yeah. And then, you know, it goes to, uh, goes to Blockbuster Uhhuh and I watched him like, holy crap, you gotta see this.

Mm-hmm. And then, you know, everybody. And then it just spread like wildfire. But here's the thing, fun fact, before 

Mike: you go further. Yeah. Uh, red in the [00:25:00] short story or the novella Right. Is a white guy with red hair. That's why he's named Red. Right. And that's part of the, the why. It's funny when he says, uh, why you named Red?

Maybe it's cause I'm Irish. Yeah. Because in the book, he actually is 

Darin: an Irish dude. Yeah. Yeah. If there's anybody out there who's a member of the academy, the Academy of Motion Pictures, arts and Sciences, you need to have a category where it's like we realize that we, yeah, yeah. And they need to just say, look, the Shawshank Redemption is an Academy Award.

Yeah. Worthy picture. Yeah. And just give it to him. Just Just call him, say, we screwed up. Yeah. Here now that was, take the one you 

Mike: gave Moonstruck and give it over to Shan Redemption. 

Darin: You're gonna take away Cher's. Oscar. I never saw 

Mike: it, so I'm fine with that. She was good in 

Darin: Moonstruck. Okay. Okay. All right.

Yeah, I, I like Cher. I'm not like a mega Uhhuh sheriff fan, but she was good in Moonstruck Snap out of it. Yeah, so that was the year that it was Forrest Gump Uhhuh. Okay. Pulp Fiction, [00:26:00] I mean, and Shawshank. And then the other two were, oh my God, four weddings and a funeral and quiz show. Okay. Four weddings and a funeral and quiz show.

They should have, it should have been a three pony race. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And here's the thing. If Forrest Gump didn't win, it would've gone to Pulp Fiction. Yeah. And I was explaining that to Libby because I know everything about pictures and film. Yeah. And that type of thing. And she's like, I didn't, she didn't quite understand pulp Fiction.

Nobody understood it the first time. Yeah. Everybody understood pulp fiction the second time. Well, there's, 

Mike: there's periods, there's periods of time where. Everything is concentrated into a couple of years. Like you mentioned all those movies in that year. There's, I, I keep seeing this post on Facebook of where Nirvana's, nevermind Pearl Jam, 10 Metallica's Black album, Tung Baby.

From that, it came out the same year. It all came out within the same, you're like, oh my God. Yeah. And Guns N Roses, um, appetite. Yeah. Or the, uh, illusion. Use, you're losing one and two. Yeah. All those came out within like a, a year of each other, right? Uh, yeah. And all the Marvel, the Marvel thing. I don't think Marvel is as popular now as it was during the end game and all that stuff that [00:27:00] all 

Darin: kind of, they're losing their mind.

That all kind of collaborated. We'll talk about that on 

Mike: another episode or, or in the Lord of the Rings. Everything was hobbits and wizards for a couple of years. Yeah. That was awesome. Yeah, they're making a new 

Darin: movie. The, the Hobbits? Yeah. What, what movie did they make? An an,
