Love Island UK star Chris Hughes is embroiled in a sex scandal

>> Darin: Okay, so a sex scandal has plagued Irritable dad syndrome. And let me find the exact article that comes on because I don't want to.

>> Darin: This isn't fake news, kids. From the New York Post. Jojo Siwa dumps humiliated partner after realizing she's not a lesbian on Celebrity big brother. So JoJo Siwa and her partner Kath Ebbs have split after Siwa realized she's no longer a lesbian and got flirty with Love Island UK star Chris Hughes.

>> Mike: He's a. He's a beautiful soul.

>> Darin: He. Yeah, well, he's got a sex scandal.

>> Mike: But he's got a dark past.

>> Darin: He's, he's got some explaining to do because jojo Siwa, if that's her real name, has been all flirty and handsy with this Chris Hughes in public. And I reached out to Chris Hughes and I said, hey, what's going on here? And he said, it's a different Chris Hughes.

>> Mike: That's exactly what you would say.

>> Darin: Exactly. That is exactly what I would say, Officer. This heroin in my back seat belongs to another Darren Cox.

>> Mike: What do you think we are, anyway?

>> Darin: Am I stupid?

>> Dave: Just.

>> Mike: I, mean, okay, yeah, here's the deal. We're gonna. We're gonna get down to it.

>> Darin: We don't need this type of. This is what's called a black eye on the podcast. We don't need to be affiliated with this story. We don't need to be associated if you're. If you don't even know why we're talking about it.

>> Mike: If you're new to this show, it may surprise you, shock you, even, that we have fans, but we do.

>> Darin: We do.

>> Mike: And our fans. Very loyal fans. Very loyal. And they're also the shadiest group of you'll ever see in your life. And Chris Hughes is the ringleader of them.

>> Darin: He is.

>> Mike: I'm talking whenever anything happens in America. Yeah, that could be, illegal, untoward, or. Or a bit scandalous. Kinky. A little smelly. We.

>> Darin: Little skanky.

>> Mike: The first thing we do is message Chris. Huggies.

>> Darin: Yeah, Huggies.

>> Mike: And say, were you involved in this?

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Because, you know.

>> Darin: Yeah. Now he says no.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: But I'm like, okay, I want proof. I want to see some receipts. I want to see an alibi.

>> Mike: We become implicated in this. We've. They've been in our studio multiple times. Yeah. We m. Have plastered his face and her face all over some of our episodes, and all over our website. So we have a little bit of, What's that called? We've got that.

>> Darin: Yeah. Yes. We've got that. So I'm just gonna tell all y'all right now.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: That we are not in favor of this type of behavior.

>> Mike: Preach it.

>> Darin: This activity.

>> Mike: Tell them.

>> Darin: And we're not going to stand for it.

>> Mike: Get on it.

>> Darin: I mean, we're still going to take his money.

>> Mike: Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Because in. In mainly, because of the principle of the thing.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: But like I said, he swears it's another Chris Hughes.


You're listening to Irritable Dad Syndrome, Cincinnati's comedy podcast

I don't know M. I've met Chris Hughes.

>> Mike: I've.

>> Darin: Yeah, I know him.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: This doesn't surprise me at all. At all. Thank you.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Dave: You're listening to Irritable Dad Syndrome, Cincinnati's comedy podcast.

>> Darin: If that's a joke, I love it.

>> Mike: If not, I cannot wait to unpack that with you. You want to hear about how much of a badass I am?

>> Darin: I do.

>> Mike: Ready for this?


Mike is being promoted from dishwasher to contact lenses

Okay.

>> Darin: So odle badass.

>> Mike: We have in our house a Bosch dishwasher. Mike. Mike, why do you have a Bosch dishwasher? Well, aren't they the same people that.

>> Darin: Make the contact lenses?

>> Mike: No, that's Bausch. Baush.

>> Darin: Oh, okay.

>> Mike: Bosch is a whole different.

>> Darin: Wouldn't that be something if they made dishwashers? And contact would be.

>> Mike: That would be something.

>> Darin: You're being promoted from dishwasher to contact lenses.

>> Mike: The reason we got a Bosch is because that's what was in the house before. And because they. They're. They're supposed to be good. And I don't want to have to worry about leaks and things like that. No, I don't think anybody wants leaks. Nobody wants that. So we got one. Loved, it. And it's been wonderful. And then this weekend, I'm enjoying myself. It's on a Sunday. I'd had a. What?

>> Darin: That doesn't sound good enough.

>> Mike: I was. Okay, let me enjoy. Clear it up. I was grinding my camo.

>> Darin: Was Jojo Siwa.

>> Mike: No. No. Neither, was Chris Hughes. No. And it was on a Sunday. I had had a full week and weekend. A Sunday was Daddy's day.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: To grind camos. I was gonna go to Charlie's football game, come back and grind more camos, and just generally enjoy life. And then Bess comes in and says, the dishwasher is saying E15. And I said, and I quote, I didn't know it could talk nice. It's never said anything to me, E15. But you. I noticed that the pump that has an exit pump was going.

>> Darin: Oh, okay.

>> Mike: It wouldn't stop my point. And I looked indeed, where it typically tells you how long the wash is going to take. Yeah. it said E15. So I go look that up. I, found an Internet video.

>> Darin: The sequel to E15.

>> Mike: Dude, who I went to the video of, was so excited that he had fixed the E15 error. It was a 15 minute video, okay. and it goes through all this stuff and it requires screwdrivers and things and taking your dishwasher apart. And I said, nay, nay, because I'll screw that up. But, then I looked at what a new dishwasher costs and to get it installed, because I ain't doing that. I don't. I'll screw something up. Oh, yeah, boy, howdy. That was gonna cost a, bit.

>> Darin: Of money, a pretty penny.

>> Mike: And we've had this dishwasher for 11 years. It's way, way past the warranty.

>> Darin: You gotta take it up behind the barn.

>> Mike: You gotta get it. So I said, what have I got to lose? What have I got to lose? I had the new dishwasher in the cart. I'm ready to push by, but my finger wouldn't let me. It said, go yawn and try this 15 minute procedure. Well, it was 15 minute for this guy who knows what he's doing. It took me about two hours, right. But I managed to take it apart, take the thing out, clean it, whatever, and put it back together. I spilled some water along the way. That caused some drama because I thought it was leaking, but it was my dumb assness.

>> Darin: I know how to fix that.

>> Mike: You get a mop, wipe it up.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: But it was underneath, so I put a fan. I did what you did with the fan for about an hour. Not a whole lot of. Yeah. But it ended up drying up out there. The point is, I cleared that thing. But when, when I had the water under there, I wanted to see, why do I have water under there and how far back is it going? I remembered That I had from about 15 years ago. A snake camera that I bought my brother in law, Jim Boyce, for Christmas and never gave to him. Connects to your phone, right?


Jim Arai fixes leaky ceiling in his home for free

the connections.

>> Darin: How come you never gave it to Jim 15 years ago?

>> Mike: The phone connections don't work now. Those modern newfangled Google probably had a.

>> Darin: Rotary phone back then.

>> Mike: Back then. And so I managed to connect it to this laptop using a connector I didn't even know we had. And then I managed to see kids.

>> Darin: That's why you don't throw that stuff away.

>> Mike: I got the picture to show up on this laptop. The breaking or the, irritable dad.

>> Darin: Irritable dad syndrome laptop.

>> Mike: And then I needed something straight to push the, Yeah, to push the camera back under. And look. And I went through the garage, which is where most of our straight things are. And the only thing I could find.

>> Darin: People, my crooked things in the garage.

>> Mike: Only thing I could find was a Pirates of the Caribbean sword that we got from Disney World, some time ago.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And I taped it to that, and then I used that to look askance under the dishwasher to look for the moisture. I zeroed in, pinpointed it, and I was pleased with myself. Around this time, Bess came home from the store and saw me on my stomach. And I'm explaining to her what happened. And she said.

>> Darin: And I. Stomach looking for the moisture. Enjoying yourself?

>> Mike: She said, why are you m. Are you holding a sword? And I said, how the hell else am I going, to put the camera under there?

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And she just lost it. I was like, is this weird that, you come home and I.

>> Darin: The.

>> Mike: The dishwasher is in pieces and I'm using a sword your husband's on to look under the thing. And she said, it's not normal.

>> Darin: No. No.

>> Mike: Did you fix it? And I was like, I think so. But, yes, I did it. It's repaired. Saved us. so. So, Bosch Bout Bosch charges as of the recording of this podcast, $179 just to come to your house.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: Whether or not they even find anything. And then it is $20 every six minutes.

>> Darin: What? I don't think so. Yeah.

>> Mike: So I calculated knowing what you're doing, this repair would have cost us about four or five hundred dollars.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Did, it for, free. Yeah. Basically used my Sunday.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And then after that, I ground my camos.

>> Darin: Nice.

>> Mike: Yeah, it was fun.

>> Darin: Well, I wish you would have been at our house, because a couple weeks ago, Jacob, and I were in the kitchen, and Jacob looks up at the ceiling, says, dad, which isn't good. No. And he points and I look and there's a wet spot on the ceiling, which is bad.

>> Mike: My nightmares.

>> Darin: Yeah, yeah. You're not supposed to have wet spots in your ceiling.

>> Mike: Generally speaking, that's a sign that something has gone. Arai.

>> Darin: A scene scans. Yes. Penultimate. So I knew that we had what's known as a problem.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: So I knew that we couldn't have had a hole in the roof because Cameron's bedroom is above our kitchen.

>> Mike: He would have noticed a waterfall. He would have noticed. Yeah.

>> Darin: I'd like to think he would have noticed water coming through his room. Through the floor.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And then into our kitchen. So it had to be the bathroom. I went up into the bathroom and I got everything out from underneath both sides of the sink. And there was no leaking in the sink. There was some water behind the toilet, but I didn't know if it was coming. If the water was coming from the shower or. I'm sorry, the. Sure. Or the toilet.

>> Mike: Know if the water had come from the toilet or if the water was trying to get into the turret.

>> Darin: I didn't know what was going on, but we had to call somebody. And the fine folks at Apollo Plumbing came and. Oh, my God, are these guys awesome. We. We had like the coolest plumber ever. This guy, he looked like Captain America.

>> Mike: Did he wear the American flag shorts like Apollo Creed?


Libby says water is coming from the turlet in our ceiling

No, no, no, no, no, no.

>> Darin: He looked like the new Captain America.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: Yeah, yeah. just cool as hell. Funny. He's a good guy. And he, he cut this giant hole in our ceiling and he stayed for, I can't remember how long is there. Hours. Okay. Turned off all the water to the house and he's trying to find out, is it a drain pipe? Is it this pipe? Is it. Is it coming from the. Sure. Is it coming from the turlet? Where is it coming from? He finally determined that it was coming from the turlet. Okay.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: And this is the. The best. I'm just going to get to the best part of the story here. Libby, was saying, is it the turlet? And I'm saying, is it the turret? And then Cameron says, is water coming from the turret? After a few hours, this guy who's getting ready to go out to his truck to get some tools looks he says, by the way, I really admire you guys. And we're like, why? He goes, I love the determination that you all have to continuously say turlet. He was having a blast with us. We're like, well, good. And the next time you go on a, on a gig and you have to, you know, change someone's turn. Turlet.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: You know, can you, you know, say turtle? And he goes, I will.

>> Mike: Yeah, there you go. Yeah.

>> Darin: So, we had to get a new turlet. So he goes, and whole new turtles. Yeah, we went and bought a new turlet. We got an American Standard, which my old landlord in Tennessee said is the Cadillac of turlets. Actually he called it. So we went and bought an American Standard. I don't know if you've looked at turlets lately.

>> Mike: I haven't shopped one.

>> Darin: It will flush a bucket of golf balls.

>> Mike: I think that's the one I need.

>> Darin: I'm like, why? And so we asked him like, can we flush golf balls? He goes, don't. Yeah, don't do it. Yes, it will flush them. But then they get caught up in the, they get caught up in the line. So I don't know why they put that on there that you can flush golf balls, but kids don't flush golf balls.

>> Mike: Seems like there's other ways to get rid of golf balls.

>> Darin: It seems like there's other ways, there's other selling points for, for a turlet, you know. Then there was another turlet that would flush billiard balls.

>> Mike: Like, do any of these things flush.

>> Darin: Can we get one that'll flush a football?

>> Mike: Now if they could get one that would flush like paper towels.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: You know what I mean?

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: Because that happens from time to time. People will be, oh, I guess this goes in here. But I've never been playing pool. I need to go put it in the turret.

>> Darin: Yeah, yeah, we, get the new turret. He installs it and he says, you know, I would wait a couple of weeks before you have the hole in your ceiling patched just to make sure and to let it all, dry.

>> Mike: It all dry out.

>> Darin: And he says, he says I would put a fan on that. So we do have a fan.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And this was creative engineering on my part.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: I got out our fan and I couldn't get it aimed right at the, at the hole in the ceiling. So I found four bar stools that we have and I put it on the four bar stools. But then it was still aiming straight. I couldn't get it to angle up. So I get two big ass plastic cereal bowls that I put on two of the bar stools and then put two of the fan legs on there to get it at a I'm going to call it a 32 degree angle.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And I posted that picture on my Facebook page and my God, the, appreciation I got for the creative engineering. Somebody asked me if I learned that from you. Really? The engineer.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Is that.

>> Darin: Yeah, yeah, yeah.


Darren needs to replace the lid on his toilet at Home Depot

>> Mike: Who, who was the first person to poop in the new turlet?

>> Darin: The boy. The boys flipped a coin. I don't know. I know Jacob won the coin toss, but I don't know if he actually did it or not. Apollo plumbing was awesome.

>> Mike: Okay, I'm gonna, I'm gonna put that. So I have a guy, but I haven't used a plumber in about 12 or 13 years. Yeah, no, that's not true. Yeah, seven years. I'm gonna try them again if I ever need one, but then if they don't work, I'll go Apollo. Yeah.

>> Darin: So after our, Apollo guy had left, Libby went upstairs and was looking and admiring our new turlet and she noticed that the lid on the tank had a little chip on it. and then the lid had like a groove along the back. And she's like, it's a brand new turlet. We paid blank amount of dollars for it. You'd think we'd have a lid that doesn't have a chip in it. So we went to Home Depot and I asked the lady at the what's it called? Miko?

>> Mike: To.

>> Darin: For customer service.

>> Mike: The turlet.

>> Darin: The customer service. I asked the lady at customer service, I said we got a turlet here. and I showed her the receipt and ah, I said it's got a chip in it and a groove in the back and we don't want to replace the turlet, we just want to replace the lid. And she said, hm. Go talk to. Go on aisle 11 and talk to whoever. So I go on aisle 11 and I see that guy said, clyde. And I said, hi Clyde, I'm Darren. We bought a turlet here two days ago. And I showed him the receipt. and I said that the tank, the lid had a chip in it and a groove and can we. And he says, you need to replace the toilet? I said, no, no, we need to replace the lid to the toilet.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And he tells me to go to customer service.

>> Mike: We were just there.

>> Darin: So. So we went back to customer service. This time I find a different guy.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And this guy's cool as hell. He's so cool. I told him, I said, we bought a turret here. Showed him the receipt, got a Chip in the tank.

>> Mike: Clyde back there doesn't really notice.

>> Darin: Clyde doesn't know what he's doing and neither does Margaret here.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: I said, we. And he goes, well, just bring the toilet in. I said, it's all right, it's already installed.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: He goes, oh, hm. You just need to replace the lid. I said, yeah. He goes, okay, go do that. Go pick one out.

>> Mike: Oh.

>> Darin: And so, I did. And they let me take the lid home.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: And make sure that it fit. And then I brought the one with the chip.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: Back to Home Depot. So, yeah, problem solved. Thanks, Home Depot. But it's, it's awesome having a new turret that can flush golf balls.

>> Mike: Well then you don't have to watch what you're eating. You just eat whatever you want. Whatever you want. Take it.

>> Darin: Do you do this when you go to Home Depot? Like, if I'm going to Home Depot, I will intentionally put on like the rattiest, T shirt I have. And I've got a pair of camouflage cargo shorts and I wear old nasty tennis shoes because it looks like I've been doing, like, construction all day long.

>> Mike: I literally go in. However I look at the moment I decide I need to go. Which includes everything from what you're saying. I've gone in there with Superman jammies. I, I've done. The only outfit I haven't gone in there with is my spongebob squarepants onesie.

>> Darin: God.

>> Mike: But I don't want to. It's not welcome everywhere.

>> Darin: But no, it's like if I'm going to Home Depot, you want to look like I do.

>> Mike: I look.

>> Darin: I look and I intentionally walk around like I know what I'm doing.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And I don't know what I'm doing.

>> Mike: Yeah. Now if I will have no idea.

>> Darin: What I'm doing, I will. Sometimes I ask people, do you need any help with anything?


Let me know if Bess and I are ever buying something expensive

It's a, it's a gamble.

>> Mike: If Bess.

>> Darin: And I know, I'm like, okay, well.

>> Mike: Let me know, if Bess and I are ever buying something somewhat expensive or could be expensive. I do make sure that I look like a, like I have no money.

>> Darin: Yeah, exactly.

>> Mike: it doesn't work. Like when we bought her Toyota, you know, I kind of walked in there. I don't remember what I had on.

>> Darin: But it was m. Yeah.

>> Mike: Yeah. Well, good. I'm glad you got a new turlet. Which is it? Is it downstairs? Can I poop in it?

>> Darin: No, you certainly can.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: It's upstairs.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: But you don't want to go into my boy's bathroom because you'll, you know, you'll catch gangrene.


Adam Nedev was on our show last week, and what an amazing guest

>> Dave: Okay, what is your favorite moment from Irritable Dad Syndrome? Tell us now at our Facebook page or leave us a message at our website, Irritable Dad Syndrome.com.

>> Darin: I want to apologize to Adam Nedev. Adam was on our show last week, and what an amazing guest this guy is.

>> Mike: Adam's awesome.

>> Darin: Adam Nedev is great. He is a fantastic guy. He's a great guest. He's a good friend of the show. Our writers sent Dave an opening thing for the thing for the episode, and Dave read the wrong title for the book.

>> Mike: Damn it, Dave.

>> Darin: Book. It's not Dave's.

>> Mike: Not Dave's fault.

>> Darin: It's not. Dave reads what you put in front of him. That's right, David. Read the Communist Manifesto. If you just handled it. Manufesto Manifesto, man.

>> Mike: The proletariat. Yeah, he would. Yeah.

>> Darin: And this is how communism works.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: No. So the name of the book is Quizmaster the Life and Times and Fun and Games of Bill Cohen. Okay, so we got that wrong.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: But then I don't m know if all y'all figured it out by listening to last week's episode. We. It took us almost 50 minutes, so to get to where we could talk to Adam when we could hear him. And it was a lot of check, test 1, 2. Test, check, check, check. Adam, Adam, can you hear.

>> Mike: Testing, 1, 2, 3. Testing. Okay, Adam, start talking. say your ABCs or something. ABCD F, G, H, I, J, K aluminum PQRs T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z Y, X, W, B, U, T, S, R, Q, P, O, N, M, M, L, K, J, I, H, G, F, E, B, C, B A Laugh really hard. Yes.

>> Darin: Wave as you can. You can hear. He can hear us.

>> Mike: He can.

>> Darin: He can hear. We can't hear you. And then, God love him, he would write down and hold it up to the camera. It's like I can hear myself, but if there's an echo, I'm like, okay, okay.

>> Mike: We were. At one point, we were communicating like they did in Lost, when the guy's on the outside and he's writing stuff on the card and holding it up to the people on the inside.

>> Darin: I thought, we're going to have to send smoke signals. I have to carry your pigeon.

>> Mike: So I haven't listened to the episode yet, but best did today. And she. She loved it. And she said the bloopers are fantastic because she said, Darren included the moment where you just broke down and lost it laughing.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: and I call that my Walter White in the. In the crawl space moment where it just. We couldn't. We literally. I gave up. I mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually gave up in that moment. I was done.

>> Darin: The episode.

>> Mike: The episode, it's like.


This is one of those episodes where watching the stream on Patreon is worth it

>> Darin: So we couldn't get Adam in our headphones, so. But we could hear him out of the laptop.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And I'm, This is barely podcast, and I'm pointing to the laptop. So the thing that you hear me pointing to is our laptop.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And we're leaning into the laptop, listening, and we could kind of hear him, which is why there's so it's like.

>> Mike: Yeah, this is one of those.

>> Darin: I'm like, what did he. What did he say?

>> Mike: This is one of those episodes where watching the stream on Patreon.

>> Darin: Worth its weight.

>> Mike: It's worth it. I think it's worth the price of the Patreon just to get that stream. Because you will see as we go, Darren and I get closer and closer to the lap. Because we can't hear it. No. And we're practically butting heads. And there's a few times where we did not hear what he said in each other's lap. Yeah. There's a few times where we just didn't hear what he said. And we're both like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, totally. Yeah. and then finally, Darren says, you get ready to talk a question. And Adam. And then it went black. He's just gone. He's disappeared.

>> Darin: We could hear him out of the laptop, and we're talking to him. the best we can. It's going as good as it can possibly go. I mean, you checked. So Adam's audio was coming through the stream, and our audio was coming through the stream. The only problem was we were having trouble hearing him, so our audience were ne'er the wiser.

>> Mike: So to paint the picture, we could hear him coming through the speakers in the room above the room we were in, but we couldn't hear him from the speakers connected to his face.

>> Darin: Anyway, so, we lost him. And then, you know, we're like, adam, we need you to call us back. And hoping that he could hear us say that. And he did. And then the second time he called us back, we could hear it.

>> Mike: Yeah, we changed nothing.

>> Darin: We changed absolutely nothing. And he calls us back, and then we hear him, and we're, like, explaining to him how we don't know what's going on anyway. So we start talking to him again, and he's on the show to promote a book. He's an author. He's got a brand new book coming out, and I wanted to pimp his book.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And so I'm getting ready. So tell me more about this book and Adam. He's gone.

>> Mike: It just. It. Yeah, it.

>> Darin: We touched nothing disappeared. And that's where Mike and I lose our mind.

>> Mike: And tonight we, you know, coming to tonight, I touched nothing on the system. From that point to working with Allison on, the greetings from the idiot box, it, ah, worked perfectly. and now we're recording this episode perfectly. Touched nothing. The only difference is that we had a guest, which is the same that happened with, Rick.

>> Darin: Rick from Southern Culture on the skids. Yeah. Good times.

>> Speaker C: Hey, this is Rick from Southern Culture on the skids, and you are listening to Irritable Dad Syndrome.

>> Mike: Well, she lied on her resume. She was. What happened? She didn't. She said she had fired the success right and left.

>> Darin: We're, as my dad would say, we're firing people all willy nilly.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: 20 bucks. If you've known this kid, like, if he's one of your son or daughter's best friends. 50 50s.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Cap it out at 100. Okay. If this is the kid who's like, spent the night, you know, five, six, eight times a year for the past, whatever, bump it up to 100. Then that's where you cap it off.

>> Mike: Yeah, yeah.

>> Darin: But I told Libby, I said, you know what would be funny for, ah, graduation? If you wrote a check for $39.12. There you go. For the rest of this kid's life. He or she, Because I don't want to discriminate, will be wondering why. $39.12. And you know, you can make it 38, 15 or. Yeah. An odd number.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Yeah. There you go, Toby. Congratulations. Love you, bud. We're really proud of you. 3912.

>> Mike: So this reminds me. And I still have this present we. When Bess and I registered for our wedding. one of the play, I think. I don't want to guess. I think one of the places we've registered was Target. And we're going through. And they give you a gun. Yeah. I do remember that you scan everything that goes on there.

>> Darin: We did that.

>> Mike: I scanned a Spider man lunchbox.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Darin: Left. Because I'm like, we're gonna get dishes.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And Libby wants.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: So I scanned some things that I wanted.

>> Mike: Yeah, there you go. But, yeah, I still have the Spider man lunchbox in our garage. Yeah, I love it.

>> Darin: Foreign.


Libby yelled something at me at the house that she has never yelled before

So earlier today you said, you know, for the first time ever, Bess came home and you're on your stomach, and she asked, why are you using a sword on our dishwasher?

>> Mike: Yeah. Perfectly reasonable question.

>> Darin: Exactly. That's a question that's never been asked. I had a situation. Libby yelled something at me at the house that she has never yelled before.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: And probably will never yell again. a couple of weeks ago, you and I and Bess and Libby, we went to Ann and Dave Wiseman's house. They're good friends. They're good people. So it was a potluck lunch. Everyone was bringing something, and Libby and I. And, my mom and the kids were coming, and we were bringing a ham and some rolls to make ham sliders. And. And. And we brought some cheese.

>> Mike: Yeah. Cheese is always welcome at a party.

>> Darin: That ham was amazing. We devoured that ham. We devoured it. So we're getting ready to go, and I'm packing up the stuff, and I'm like, do I need to bring condiments? Oh, no.

>> Mike: Okay. Do we.

>> Darin: Condiments?

>> Mike: Condiments, yes.

>> Darin: Like. Like stuff that you spread on the buns. Hello? Sounds even worse. So I called Anne and I said.

>> Mike: Stuff to protect. Yeah, you gotta Protect your ham.

>> Darin: So I called Anna. Hey, Ann. She goes, hey. And I said, hey, we're on our way. We're leaving here in a minute. And I was just wondering. And this is where Libby from another room yells, mayonnaise. mayonnaise. I said, ann, can you hang on a second?

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Mayonnaise. It's like, yes, Libby. I'm asking Ann if she. Ann, do you have mayonnaise? Yes, Darren, I have mayonnaise.

>> Mike: Yeah, it's not your safe word. That's she was asking for. Yeah. Okay.

>> Darin: She has never yelled mayonnaise before ever. And she probably won't ever yell it again.

>> Mike: Yeah. We can only hope.

>> Darin: But it was a fun potluck. We played a trivia game. I kicked ass.

>> Mike: You destroy you. You have been. this is the second game. This is the second party. Ish thing I've been at with you where you've played a game, and you are like a Mensa you. If. If I didn't know you outside of those two events, you think of the smartest. Yeah. And Libby said, yeah, Darren, just recently, he's got tired of being in Mensa.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: It's just not challenging enough. I would believe it. I'd be like, yeah, I can see how he's just not being. I. I was in awe.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And it didn't matter because we had the Boomer category. So the. The trivia game was. It's different trivia questions for different.

>> Darin: I read nothing from the 2000s.

>> Mike: It didn't. It didn't matter. He got Boomer questions. He got those. But then random stuff that you shouldn't know. You knew. What is this person? I, on the other hand, typically excel at those games. I don't think I got a single question right. And they were softball questions. Like, this was a movie about a cop that was killed and turned into a robot and came back. And I'm like, total Recall. It's just like, what.


Name the band that had David Crosby and Roger McGuinn

>> Darin: This is a movie about a cop who lives in Beverly Hills.

>> Mike: Yeah. Yeah. It didn't work.

>> Darin: No. And then I'm not a smart person, but it's one of those things like, either you know it or you don't know it.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And you had a question like, name the band that had David Crosby and Roger McGuinn. And I'm like, it's the Birds. And you're like, Fleetwood Mac, the turtles?

>> Mike: YouTube?

>> Darin: No, no, it's. It's Crosby, Stills, and Nash. I'm like, Mike, Roger McGuinn wasn't in Crosby, Stills, and Nash. Stills and Nash were in. Crosby. Stills and Nash. David Crosby. And I'm like, in my. I'm like, it's the birds, Mike. The birds. the birds. but then the winning question was. It was a. Oh, it was a free for all. It was a grab bag. What the hell was it called?

>> Mike: Slap.

>> Darin: It's a slap.

>> Mike: Your slapper.

>> Darin: Yeah, no, it was, the question was. Anybody can answer.

>> Mike: Yeah, whatever.

>> Darin: And so he says, this is. This guy led the group in the 50s with his crickets. Buddy Holly.

>> Mike: I don't know what the hell.

>> Darin: Everybody knows Buddy Holly.

>> Mike: You know Buddy Holly. But I don't know about the crickets. I just. I didn't. I. I want to say that I'm off, but that's the second game night. The other one you were. It's like Rain Man. You guys seen Rain man with Tom Cruise and. And Dustin, Hoffman? There's that point where he drops the. The matches or the. The toothp. He counts as them. 144 counts as them. He counts them. I can't even talk anymore. And that's like how it is with Darren. It's like he's useless for 99% of the time. And then we have these games. It's like throwing the. The toothpicks in front of him. He's just like, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. You should be on. I don't know if game shows would work for you. Boardgate. Yeah. Take him to Vegas to the board game casino. Clean up. We'll get pulled in the back room.

>> Darin: At New Year's. At the New Year's party. We played set.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Yeah. And you.

>> Mike: I still don't even know.

>> Darin: You could not figure out the game set to save your life.

>> Mike: No.

>> Darin: And they would throw the cards. I'm like, set, set, set. And our other neighbor who was there, she was killing all of us. And I was trying to keep up with her, but at one point, Mike just, like, looked at living like, hey, what happened? He understands this.

>> Mike: He.

>> Darin: This guy. And Libby's like, yeah, he's. And Libby, for, like, the first time ever, bragged on me. Yeah, he's really good at this.

>> Mike: My brain. Yeah. And I got best said. you were really mean to Darren. And I was like, that's. He expects that if I'm not, he then thinks something's wrong with Mike. But, it really. I had an existential crisis that night because I have an advanced engineering degree, right.

>> Darin: And I watched Barney Miller for a living.


I should destroy that game. Literally, I should Blow that game away

>> Mike: I should destroy that game. Yeah. Literally, I should Blow that game away.

>> Darin: Be like Good Will Hunting.

>> Mike: I still don't know how to play that game. I still don't even know what that game is. I didn't even know the name was set until you just said it again. It was the game to me with, like, all the shapes and stuff.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And you looked at him. You were like the Bill Murray in Ghostbusters. You pointed squiggly lines and the.

>> Darin: Exactly.

>> Mike: I don't even know what the hell happened.

>> Darin: It's so much fun. It's one. But once you figure it out, then you're like, oh, that's it. Yeah. But, yeah, we had one of those moments at the potluck where I answered a question and you looked at me like, kidding me.

>> Mike: It's.

>> Darin: You know, it was the. The fight between George Foreman and Muhammad, Ali is like Rumble in the Jungle. And you about broke your neck looking. What? Like, come on, guys. Everybody knows the Rumble in the Jungle, right?

>> Mike: So some of it. Let's explore this briefly.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: I will talk to you about music, and you'll be like, oh, yeah, I love collective soul. I love the song Shine, and I love the song December, and I love the song. And you'll name the. The hits. And then I get this sense of you. I know this isn't true, but early on, I get the sense of, oh, this dude just has a band name in his head, and he picks one or two songs, and then that's all he knows. But then randomly, we'll have a snow. A music discussion, and you're pulling out deep cuts like. Like, stuff I don't even think the artists themselves know that they've recorded.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: So I know you've. I know there's an untapped, like, frontier.

>> Darin: One of my favorite top songs is I need you tonight.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: You're like the. The guy in that movie Limitless where he takes the drug and he unlocks and he had.

>> Darin: He had no limit.

>> Mike: There's something in that damn punch that you bring to these parties. You drink that and you turn into that guy. You're solving quadratic equations and explaining X equals negative B plus the Higgs boson collider. You're talking in four dimensions and five dimensions, and then the punch wears off and you go back to being an idiot. I don't know what happened.

>> Darin: Hold on a second.

>> Mike: My question is, what the hell? I say that with as much love as I can, but I am. I'm degrading my intelligence. So as you're, flaunting your Newfound intelligence. I am turning into more and more of an idiot every day. I wake up stupider than I was the day before.

>> Speaker C: I know you are, but what am I?

>> Darin: And I'm dumb as a box of rocks, but I was playing that game, and, hell, I was just, like, killing it.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And I was so excited.

>> Mike: But I'm happy for you. If we're ever, like, around people we don't know, you're on my team in these games. And, like, if they open up the casino, the board game casino, I'm, I'm taking you.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Yeah. Just don't let them see you counting the pieces or however the hell you.

>> Darin: That's right. I'm not going to count cards. Yeah. I'm also pretty good at catan.

>> Mike: See, that's another mystery to me. And I should know how to do that.

>> Darin: Catan is a game that was just. We had to put it away. It was destroying the family. Yeah, it really was. We were getting so, so, so protective over our wins on that. And Libby was. And then Jacob Cameron was, like, the only one who didn't care if he lost. Yeah, he was like, whatever.

>> Mike: Yeah. Catan is like chess with more wheat, right?

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: Okay. Basically, that's what that is.

>> Darin: It's Monopoly, but like Game of Thrones.

>> Mike: Eat. Yeah. There's, incest. There's dragons.

>> Darin: No, there's no incest in catan.

>> Mike: Okay.


Libby had a really bad rheumatoid arthritis fit recently

Well, I play it differently than you do, by the way.

>> Darin: But, you know, the. Reminds me one of my favorite jokes. The best part about having an incestuous relationship is you never fight over whose house you're going to at Thanksgiving. Okay. Thank you.

>> Mike: Okay. Lost half our viewers in the past two minutes.

>> Darin: Where'd you go?

>> Mike: Where'd you go? Happen. All right.

>> Dave: Nothing tastes better at a cookout than a. Ah. Whompers.

>> Mike: All beef, foot long, hot dog.

>> Darin: A couple of weeks ago, Libby had a really bad rheumatoid arthritis fit. it was bad. She could, like, honestly, she could barely move her arms. She couldn't close her hands completely. It's like she couldn't move her fingers. Yeah, it was bad. It was really bad. She. She hurt in her knees and her ankles, in her hips, her shoulders, her back. I think everything except her eyelids, hurt.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: From. From the arthritis.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And so she had to go to, She had to go to work, and she's trying to get ready, and she was trying to style her hair, and she said, can you help me? And I said, okay, I will try and help you style your hair.

>> Mike: Yeah. Okay. Oh, I mean, this should have.

>> Darin: If. If we had cameras. If we had, like, the. Hey, welcome to the Cox family. You know, like, Ozzy Osbourne's, What was his name of his family?

>> Mike: The Osbournes.

>> Darin: The Osbornes. Thank you. Some trivia guy I am. Right. What was Ozzy Osbourne's show called? Yeah, I'm trying to help her style her hair. Oh, my God. And she's like. She's like, you. You grab a section of it, hold it, and you spray it underneath. You spray it. And so I would spray, but I was spraying too much. And then I would. I would, like, try to spray it again. I'm spraying on the top instead of underneath. Then you try to brush it out. But, I was.

>> Mike: Did you have a. There's something about Mary situation going on here?

>> Darin: Everything I was doing was wrong.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: And then I tried to put the curler in there.

>> Mike: Oh.

>> Darin: It, started grinding, and her hair got caught in it. Stop, stop, stop. Trying to pull it out of. I don't know how many hairs I.

>> Mike: Pulled out of her head.

>> Darin: I'm like, let me go get you a hat, A nice hat. God love her. She's so sweet. My wife is an absolute sweetheart. She's like, I'm sorry I killed, but that really hurt. You were pulling all the hair out of my hair. If something ever happens and I have to take care of Libby, I'm going to have to hire somebody to do her hair. I can do all the other stuff. I can help her do all the other stuff, but I sucked at helping her with it.

>> Mike: Oh, my God.

>> Darin: I can't remember how many weeks ago it was, but we had Joe Chambers, who is the guy who does the Johnny Cash impression of, heavy metal songs. So we had Joe Chambers on the show. Well, we played a clip of Joe Chambers singing the Ace of Spades. I reached out to Joe and I said, do you take requests?

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: He says, sure. What do you want to hear? I want to hear Holy Diver.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: So Joe Chambers does this cover of Johnny Cash singing Holy Diver. By Dio, I swear to God, it sounds exactly like a song Johnny Cash would sing. And he killed it. And he said, He told me that I could play anything his that I wanted to on the show. But here's Joe Chambers doing Holy Diver.


Holy Diver. Something is coming for you. You've been down too long in the midnight sea

>> Speaker C: Holy Diver. You've been down too long in the midnight sea. I watched it coming up. Me ride the tiger. You can see his stripes but you know he's clean. Oh, don't you see what I mean?
