>> Dave: It's time for Irritable Dad Syndrome, home of the big five pounder. Put your hands together for your hosts, Mike and Darren.

>> Darin: Hi, I'm Darren.

>> Mike: I am Mike.

>> Darin: Welcome to Irritable Dad Syndrome, Cincinnati's comedy podcast. This is episode 280. We are coming off the high. Last week was our Best of Volume five special. People have loved this episode more than we can possibly fathom. The excitement, the pure ecstasy of our fans. And coming in, nobody's listened to it yet. We were recording this before the episode dropped. I'm lying to all you. I'm sorry. Yeah. But if you go back to last week, you can listen to Best of Volume five, and I'm telling you right now, we're very proud of that episode. So if you didn't get a chance to listen to it, go back. You'll like it. You'll thank me. You'll call me up, you'll say, hey, Darren, thanks. How you doing, Mike?

>> Mike: I'm doing great.


Rush fans are divided over whether Geddy Lee and Alex Lifison should reunite

I want to talk about a couple of things. I want to talk about assumptions that I am competent.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: Uh-huh.

>> Mike: And then I also want to talk about my current concert situation and what Rush just. Just did.

>> Darin: Yeah, right.

>> Mike: To mess it all up.

>> Darin: God love them. You know what? Let's go ahead and talk about that. People are losing their mind, and I'm one of them. I'm so excited, and I'm happy, thrilled for Geddy Lee and Alex Lifison, who have decided to get back together.

>> Mike: They.

>> Darin: These guys have been best friends since they were in elementary school, right?

>> Mike: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

>> Darin: A long, long time.

>> Mike: Really, Way back in the day.

>> Darin: They've known each other and they loved each other. They're each other's family and they've decided we love playing music and we're going to go back out or we're going to play music together. And then the Rush fans, they are divided.

>> Mike: Oh, I. So I've. I've talked about before. I'm in a YouTube group, a tool group, and a Rush group, and Rush group has always been one of my favorites because they don't say anything. Nothing. Maybe once a year somebody will say, hey, Moving Pictures. Moving Pictures was pretty dope, right? Tom Sawyer, huh? And then a bunch of. A bunch of people. Yeah. Yeah. And then it just goes away for another year.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: They've had more posts in the past week than they've had in the previous six years. I've been a part of that group.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And it's. They're split. You've got the people that are for whatever. I don't understand. Yeah, they get to thrilled people, but I don't understand the people who are, demanding. They don't do anything. Like, Neil's not in the band. You can't do anything. Those people can go take a hike. The other people there are like, well, what other drummer could they pick? So there's all discussions about that, which opened up a side conversation, by the way.

>> Darin: Up to you, Kevin from Michigan.


Someone mentioned Phil Collins then that split the group even further

>> Mike: A fun fight that I enjoyed was someone mentioned Phil Collins then that split the group even further because you have the people that know that Phil Collins is not drumming anything right now.

>> Darin: Phil Collins, he can't play.

>> Mike: He can't play drums anymore. But that doesn't mean that he wasn't an amazing drummer. Phil Collins, before you guys knew him as the guy that can't dance and.

>> Darin: Studio, and he was seeing things.

>> Mike: He was like a hardcore drummer in England. He would, like, bounce around between indie bands and punk and rock and everybody, and he was keeping up with them all until he landed in Genesis.

>> Darin: Yeah. As I say, that's a fun, fun fact. He was in Genesis. Yeah.

>> Mike: Yes. and he sang a bit, too. Anyway, the point is that this group of normally.

>> Darin: Do you remember when he was on Letterman and they did the cold open where Dave is before the show starts up? Phil, how's it going? Oh, pretty good, Dave. Whatever. And Larry, Bud Mellon is in the back hammering. And. What are you doing there?

>> Mike: Oh, I'm just trying to finish some lyrics that I've been trying to write.

>> Darin: You know, I'm just,

>> Speaker C: I'm looking for that final little thing.

>> Darin: Looking for kind of a. Yeah, that final.

>> Mike: I'm thankful that this has happened because it's another opportunity to see Rush, you know, the Rush is unique in my opinion because I don't know many bands. that's not true. But all three of them are amazing musicians in and of themselves. Getty is one of the best bass players of all time.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: Alex Liveson is one of the best guitar players of all time. And Neil Peart, in my opinion, was the best drummer of all time.

>> Darin: I agree.

>> Mike: just, I mean, so they play and they played together very well. And like you said at the beginning, they were all best friends.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: And they love music. So just having, you know, the two of them that, are still here, Getty and Alex not being able to do anything, it's sad for a few years. It's been 10 years.

>> Darin: It's selfish of people to get upset and assume or think that they shouldn't do this.

>> Mike: And my Lord, the, The lady they have doing the drumming, she is a beast, dude.

>> Darin: Mind blown.

>> Mike: So she.

>> Darin: As soon as I saw the video of her, I'm like, they're gonna be just fine.

>> Mike: So, yeah, she's one of those drummers where you. She has a few tracks on the YouTubes. You should go check them out. but she's one of those where you're listening to her drum and then you think, oh, she lost time there. she doesn't know what she's doing. And then it comes back. Which is exactly what I thought early on when I started listening to Rush. It's like, whoa, what's this guy's Neil Pert? Like, what the Shampoo? He doesn't. What's he doing?

>> Darin: How.

>> Mike: Well, best drummer of all time. My anus. But then as you learn more and listen to more music, you realize, how much he actually, brought to the art form.

>> Darin: And he wrote the lyrics too.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: But so here's the thing. So it's a double edged sword. So if she. All right, I'm good.

>> Mike: I've never heard anybody do that.

>> Darin: She played Neil's parts note per note.

>> Mike: Yes.

>> Darin: Then people would say, well, she's just trying to copy Neil.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: But she does her own thing. And people are saying, well, she doesn't sound like Neil Peart. You can't win.

>> Mike: Can't win. You just,

>> Darin: So. But I love the joke when they said that she's gonna be the only chick at a Rush. That's.

>> Mike: That's. Yeah, that's true. And that's not a, that's not an exaggeration. I remember I saw the Rush R40 tour in Columbus. And I happened to be sitting next to this lady. She said it. She looked at me, she said, I think I'm the only chick here. And I laughed and looked around and I. I don't remember seeing any other women at all.

>> Darin: Yep. Yeah. Alex and Getty and Neil definitely didn't get in the business for the ladies. No. So.

>> Mike: But anyway, that's so they.

>> Darin: So Getty. Alex, if you're listening, which I have a feeling you are, congratulations.


Southern Culture on the Skids will play Rush on their 60th anniversary tour

I'm thrilled for you guys and I wish you all the best on the tour. We're gonna try and get tickets.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: If we can.

>> Mike: Yeah, we. We,

>> Darin: It may not happen.

>> Mike: Dipped around a little bit too much and missed one of the pre sales and we missed another one.

>> Darin: If we miss this, then what we'll do is we'll just go to the 60th anniversary tour.

>> Mike: I. I, you know, I think people that know me know that Rush is one of my all time favorite bands. And I had just told Bess that after seeing Oasis in Chicago just a few months ago, I told her, I think I'm. I'm done with major concerts for a while.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: And then it's like a month later, Rush is back. I was like, really, really, really. Hey, this is Rick from Southern Culture on the Skids, and you are listening to Irritable Dad Syndrome.

>> Darin: Boy, did you miss out. my favorite band came back to town. Southern Culture on the Skids. You couldn't go. My buddy Eric couldn't go.

>> Mike: Nope.

>> Darin: And my buddy Ted couldn't go. So I went to a concert by myself, and they blew the roof off the dump. Honest to God. They played a solid two hours. They played. They went deep, deep, deep. Albums that were made like 38 years ago or so. I don't know how old they were, but they played so many new songs. So many old songs. All the things in between. Rick has never sounded better. And the thing is, I said this the last time I saw Southern Culture.

>> Mike: Yeah. You were really, really excited.

>> Darin: I said that they've never sounded better, and they sounded better this time that we got to see him. It was just amazing. And I talked to Rick and I said, hey, do you remember me? Well, I didn't ask if he remembered m me. I said, I'm Darren. You were on my podcast last year. Well, dad Syndrome. Oh, yeah, that was fun. I said, we would love to have you back. And he said, well, when we have a new album out, let's talk about it. And he says, probably in six months. So the possibility that Rick will come back.

>> Mike: So, he said he remembered it?

>> Darin: Yes, he did. He said it was fun. He could have been lying.

>> Mike: Did you tell him we lost half?

>> Darin: Did not. I did. Absolutely.

>> Mike: That's probably a good thing.

>> Darin: For the first time ever, I got a set list. I was trying to get a hold of Mary before she walked off the stage, and she didn't hear me, and she walked off, and there was a lady in the crowd next to me. She goes, what are you trying to get the set list? I said, yeah, I wanted it. I'll go get it for you. And she walks up onto the stage and just grabs it. Here you go. Thanks. I got Dave to autograph it. I got Rick to autograph it, and I got Mary to autograph it, Right? So I got my picture taken with Mary. She gave me a hug. She m. Mary and I are becoming, really good friends, I feel like. Because she always. She's like, I always see you here. I said, yes. I come every chance that I can, because I've seen them. I don't know how many times I've seen them. I used to go all the time in the Casbah in Johnson City when they were, on the Dirt Track Date tour. And they were amazing then. They're even better now. But here's the thing. This is the coolest thing. I went over and I started talking to Dave. Dave is their drummer. Dave plays a cocktail kit. A cocktail kit is one of those drum sets that stands up, right? You stand up playing. And I told him, I said, I bought a cocktail kit because of you, because I want to be like you, and you're an amazing drummer, and I want to be an amazing drummer like you, and you're my idol, okay? He's like, wow, cool. And I said, can I. Can I go up there and. And look at it? He goes, yeah, go ahead. And then he says, mike, he says, pick up a stick. Go ahead. Hit it.

>> Mike: Oh.


Mike: I grill about three times a week during grilling season

>> Darin: He goes, you can't do any more damage to it than I do. So I got to pick up his sticks, and I. For, like, a minute, I played his drum set.

>> Speaker C: And.

>> Darin: And this is what he said. He says, that was cool. Thank you for doing that. He says, I'm down here. I never get to hear how my drum set sounds because I'm always behind it.

>> Mike: Oh, yeah.

>> Darin: And he says, and it was nice to hear somebody play it who knows how to hit it.

>> Mike: Oh, okay.

>> Darin: And I said, oh, I know how to hit it. Not only did you miss Southern culture on the skids the opening act was this little band out of Louisville called the Get Down. Okay. Holy crap, will you get down with the Get Down? They were a surf band. They played nothing but instrumental surf music. Okay. The guitarist, I swear to God. Do you know who the Ventures are? You remember the Ventures?

>> Mike: No. The Avengers? The Iron Man?

>> Darin: No, The Ventures. V E N T U R E S Look them up. They're in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame. They are an instrumental surf group from the 60s. These guys said one day we want to sound just like the Avengers. And they sound just like the.

>> Mike: Like the Beach Boys without the talking.

>> Darin: Yeah, but it's like non stop guitar soloing. So it's two electric guitars. Their bass player was off the chain. He was the funkiest damn bass player I've seen in forever. And their drummer was really good. He was just really, really good. They were on top. It was. Is amazing. So if you get an opportunity to see the Get Down. Yeah, go see the get down and go to Southern culture on the Skids website, which is s c o t s.com, look up their tour dates. If they're in your town, go, Just go tell them I sent you.

>> Dave: You're listening to the only podcast that matters, Irritable Dad Syndrome with Mike and Darren.

>> Mike: I have a story.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: This ventures a bit into the supernatural. This is good for the spooky season. Right? So I grill. I use a grill, a gas grill. We have a gas grill that I use, and I grill about at least three times a week during grilling season.

>> Darin: So what you're saying is you grill quite a bit. Okay.

>> Mike: And this, it is like. It's one of those infrared, deals. So I know it uses a little bit less gas, but here's the deal. Check this out.

>> Darin: It's infrared.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: It's infrared.

>> Darin: I don't know what that means.

>> Mike: Yeah, infra. Infra.

>> Darin: Here. Okay.

>> Mike: I'll show you. Anyway, the point is, I grill at least three times a week.

>> Darin: I can spot it with my radar.

>> Mike: I did the thing where you go to the Kroger and you give them the empty propane tank and they give. I'm done with this. Give me another one. Yeah, and they gave me another one.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: I hooked it up. That was around. Not the beginning of the summer, but this was before we went on vacation. So this was in July.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: The tank I put in there that currently just took out, it was in there. It was around July.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: I put this tank in.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: Now, I grilled like I said about three times a week.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: There was a Friday afternoon, right?

>> Mike: I grilled.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: And then I grilled again on Sunday afternoon.


Mikey says his grill burned for eight days straight

And the interesting thing about when I went out to grill on Sunday afternoon is that the grill was already hot.

>> Darin: Uh-huh.

>> Mike: And I, standing in front of this hot grill, said, holy, it's hot out here. The grill's already hot. I left the grill going, oh, my God. From Friday afternoon, all night Friday night, all through Saturday, all through Saturday night, all through Sunday until about 3 or 4pm Sunday, he was still on. That is going to give the entire time.

>> Darin: Okay. Just listening to the story is going to give Libby such ocd.

>> Mike: So.

>> Darin: Because she is constantly. Did you check the stove? Just turn off the stove and oh my God, you left the grill on.

>> Mike: I was in shock. I actually went in and told Bess, you need to write this down. And I'm documenting it here. This is the first, indication that Mikey's losing it. But here's the point is, after that, it became. There's no way I can grill on this grill. It's going to run out.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: And it didn't.

>> Darin: It didn't.

>> Mike: And then I went another week of grilling and then another week, and it kept going. Made it all the way through August, made it through September. Uh-huh. Last week I went to bed, I was like, this thing. You realize that this has been going since July and it lasted for two whole days.

>> Darin: That's a lot.

>> Mike: Like, this is. There's stories in the Bible. I don't want to. I mean, this is. This is getting supernatural here.

>> Darin: Uh-huh.

>> Mike: Right. I think we have a miracle grill going.

>> Darin: I want to hear how long Jesus used his girl.

>> Mike: Isn't that the story? Well, is it the menorah? They lit the candles and they burned for eight days.

>> Darin: That was in Leviticus, right?

>> Mike: Leviticus, yeah. That's the fun book. It's all right there.

>> Darin: That was in Ezekiel.

>> Mike: Yeah. The sequel. I mean, it lasted for eight days and that became enough to make a holiday.

>> Darin: Uh-huh.

>> Mike: This grill out here, you just compared.

>> Darin: Grill grilling to the menorah. We are going to hell. No, no, thanks for listening.

>> Mike: No, I'm just saying. I'm just saying the gas shouldn't have lasted that. That shouldn't have lasted that long. It shouldn't have made it till Friday or Saturday, Sunday.

>> Darin: No, it should not.

>> Mike: When I went out there Sunday, it should have been a cool grill and I should have been. Not been able to light it. and then it made it months beyond that.

>> Darin: But if it cooked that long, it was probably, I'm sure it's kind of like when you put your oven on, it was.

>> Mike: On the lowest setting.

>> Darin: Still though, if you put your oven on instant clean. Yeah. It bakes it at like nuclear temperatures. And that's what, the heat kills all the germs and inside your grill.

>> Mike: Yeah. That's not the miracle. The miracle is that it continued to burn. Yeah.

>> Darin: That's wild. So I'm certain now that you're like, did I turn off the grill? You probably wake up in a cold sweat. Did I turn off the grill?

>> Mike: Actually there's been a couple times I've been going to sleep and I'm like, did I turn off the grill? And I think, eh, it'll still be going in the morning. If it is, I'll turn it off then. Keeps the bugs away, I'll tell you that.

>> Darin: I bet it does.

M. M. asks about going to the gym without underwear

Back to you in the studio.

>> Mike: Been going to the gym in the mornings. M. That's part of the reason we're recording a little earlier these days. And the past few times that I've gone, I've forgotten my underwear, which means I have to go commando. And I think I'm gonna go to. Excuse me. I'm gonna go to work and I'm gonna go through the whole day commando. And I can't do that. So I stop at home and I have to get underwear. The point. Listen to me. The point is good.

>> Darin: Do you drive to the gym with underwear on?

>> Mike: No, no, no. Yes. I go there with underwear.

>> Darin: Huh?

>> Mike: I shower, I work out, I shower. I have no clean underwear with which to wrap my loins.

>> Darin: So why don't you just put your previous pair of underwear on?

>> Mike: I just worked out in it.

>> Darin: Okay?

>> Mike: It's all stanky.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: I'm not gonna put that back on me. So I go commando.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: Yeah. Here's the deal.

>> Darin: Great. Now every time I hear you, but you're at the gym, I'm gonna think about you at the gym.

>> Mike: Commando that has nothing to do with this next part of the story. But it's an interesting, blurb aside.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: There are people in the locker rooms and I've talked about them before. They need to do their changing somewhere else and go away. Right?

>> Darin: Yep.

>> Mike: So I'm in there. There's another dude in there. M. You don't go to the Liberty Y. But it's the one right down the street.

>> Darin: But I've been to.

>> Mike: But you've got a gym. The locker. The lockers are all around on the walls and there's benches out in the middle. Right. The accepted manner of putting on your clothes or being nude is to face the lockers, handle your business.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: And then you can turn around and socialize and leave or whatever is that you're gonna do.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: Bro was standing in front of his bench looking at me standing flat footed.

>> Darin: With his rudder facing.

>> Mike: With his rudder facing north when it should have been south. My question is, what the hell? Now I'm in this weird situation because I've got to remove my, ah, pants.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: But I don't want to do it with, sagging McSaggins. He's a little older gentleman. It's the older guy. It's all the older guys that do it. They don't care. They walk through there like the floppy, like an elephant.

>> Darin: Here's the deal on parade.

>> Mike: Stop that. If any of you are listening to this podcast, when you're changing, face the locker.

>> Darin: Face the locker.

>> Mike: Put on your stuff and then you can say hey, or chili in here. Isn't it?

>> Darin: I try to change, my underwear under the. While under my towel.

>> Mike: That's what I do under my.

>> Darin: Because I'm an American. I'm not a freak. And nobody needs to see my deal.

>> Mike: Nobody.

>> Darin: Yeah. Because I don't want people going home like, I wish I look like that guy. You know? Come on. But it is. And I don't know if women, if it's the same way when women go into the gym. If ladies are just out with their hoo ha and their big bongs all flopping around.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: But it's like nobody wants to see that. All we want to do is go to the gym and try and be a little healthier. We took Cameron to Alt park to have his senior pictures. Okay. I was ironing clothes. He had two or three outfits that he was going to wear. I was ironing clothes. And then Libby wanted, for her and I, she and I, we.


I am ironing. I was cleaning up and ironing one of my shirts

To have a nice picture taken while we're there. And so I ironed. I was ironing. I was cleaning up and iron one of my shirts. I think I ironed something for her. Anyway, I'm ironing. The point of the story is I am ironing.

>> Mike: You're ironing.


Two Jehovah's Witnesses knocked on my door on Sunday morning

>> Darin: The doorbell rings. Now, keep in mind it's Sunday. It's almost 11 o'. Clock. I answer the door. There are two gentlemen at my, front door. One is on top of the front step, another one is five feet behind him. I on my sidewalk almost perfectly behind him. And the guy says, hi, I'm. I don't remember his name.

>> Mike: Ezekiel.

>> Darin: Ezekiel. And then the second guy pops his head and I'm Troy. Oh, yeah. He could have stood like beside, like, yeah, like, diagonally behind him. But he was exactly behind the door. He had to lean to the left and I'm Troy.

>> Mike: You know, that's how they hide their numbers.

>> Darin: They walk in single file to hide their numbers.

>> Mike: Spartan.

>> Darin: And this guy asks me, I thought, what are they here to sell? Usually it's extermination. We're here to see if you want us to handle any type of bug problems that you have in the home. And that's when I say, no. Sometimes they come, like occasionally we'll have high school kids who are selling stuff for the marching band. And I'll always donate money to the marching band. Sometimes there's people who are selling newspaper, subscriptions or whatever. And I say, thank you. I, I'm always very nice. I'm always like, listen, I can't do this right now, but thank you. I hope you have a great day, but I'm going to go. I'm never rude. I never just close the door in their face. This guy said, we were wondering if we can talk to you for a minute. And I said, did they want to.

>> Mike: Talk to you about Jesus?

>> Darin: He wanted to talk to me about. And he said, have you noticed that there are a lot of people who want peace? And since so many people want peace, why are there so many countries at war?

>> Mike: I would have shut the door immediately.

>> Darin: Is that something that you would like to talk about? And I said with a, weird no.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: No. And I said. And I just looked at him like, guys, it's Sunday, it's 11 o'. Clock. That's when people are getting ready for church. Yeah, right. I wasn't getting ready for church. And I didn't lie to him. I was getting ready for scenery, pictures. That was irony.

>> Mike: Yeah, you're right.

>> Darin: But I'm like, this is like a really horrible time. And I shouldn't have said that because I figured he said, is there a better time to come back? But he's like, oh, oh, okay. I'm like, I hope you guys have a great day. And then I. I close the door. But it's like, why would I want to talk to two complete strangers who stand single file about peace?

>> Mike: I would have loved to ask him if there was a better time or if he asked if there was a better time, say, Friday night, 3am gets wild around here.

>> Darin: But after he was gone, I.

>> Mike: Thought, damn, as a golden opportunity, I.

>> Darin: Wasn'T ironing if I didn't really seriously have something to do. And he said, is this something you'd like to talk about? I said, I'll tell you what, I will talk to you about this if you talk to me about my podcast, Irritable dad syndrome. Just go to the website, just start downloading. If you become you, you become a Patreon. I'll Talk hour.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: When we were moving from Tennessee, we were loading up the, moving truck from our old apartment and these two, Jehovah's Witnesses. They were Jehovah's Witnesses.

>> Mike: Yes.

>> Darin: They came by and they said, sir, can we talk to you about, you know, Jehovah. Jehovah, yeah. And I said, I'll tell you what, as long as you move boxes, I'll talk to you. And they started grabbing boxes. I said, I'm kidding.

>> Mike: Yeah, yeah, I'm not going to.

>> Darin: Yeah, I'm not going to have you do that. Thank you.

>> Mike: But we'll keep moving the boxes. But I'm not going to talk to you about any of your.

>> Darin: They wanted to talk to me about Jehovah. The only thing I know is in Latin, Jehovah starts with an eye. Yeah, but they were going to, you.

>> Mike: Know me, the penitent man will pass.

>> Darin: That's right. But they were just going to keep loading boxes as long as I let me. Shot me this. Look, I'm like, I was. I wasn't going to have a move.

>> Mike: Sorry.

>> Darin: I mean, maybe a little God Jehovah, but in the Latin Alphabet, Jehovah begins with an eye.


Venomous Beaver comes in at number five on this week's podcast

>> Mike: We've been accused of not staying on topic before, but I. You. You reminded me of something that I saw on another show and I. I've got to bring it up. Indiana Jones on the Last Crusade. Something about it has always bothered me. And it was another podcast and I'm sorry, I'm not trying to steal your stuff. I just can't remember which podcast it was on, but listen to all of them. You'll hear it. Anyway, the point is, I always thought it was weird how Indy stepped out when he did the Leap of Faith. M. Yeah. It's like if you know there's a potential that you're going to plummet to your death, you just kind of like reach out and tap.

>> Darin: He doesn't.

>> Dave: Coming in at number five is the name of a fictional heavy metal band from Ohio. Up 12 slots from last week, here's Venomous Beaver.

>> Mike: What the hell was that?


If you have been to our Patreon lately, we have done some rejiggering

Speaking of Patreon, we have done some rejiggering. If you have been to our Patreon lately. And I mean that within the past couple days. There was a button. I, haven't pressed it. It's been there on our page for months.

>> Speaker C: How can he possibly resist the diabolical urge to push the button that could erase his very existence? Will his tortured mind give in to its uncontrollable desires? Can he withstand the temptation to push the button that even now beckons him ever closer? Will he succumb to the maddening urge to eradicate history at the mere push of a single button? The beautiful shiny button, the jolly, candy like button? Will he hold out, folks? Can he hold out?

>> Mike: And it said, would you like to apply the new changes?

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: And then the button said, press me. And I pressed it finally.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: And it. A warning came up, said, this cannot be undone. Oh, so you know what? I'm a daredevil. Okay.

>> Darin: What do you got to lose?

>> Mike: I pushed it. Yeah, it rejiggered our whole Patreon site. And it gave me the option to send it back. So it lied. It said, you can't go back, but it gave me the option to go back. But I like the way that it's got it all set up now because it puts all the audio bonus stuff in this corner over here. All the uncut video fun stuff over here. That's cool. All the ad free episodes over here, the merch options. It's all nicely, It's nice.

Barbara Stanck shares her Kroger story of the week

>> Dave: It's time now for the Kroger story of the week.

>> Darin: In all the years Mike and I have lived three miles away from each other, we've only ran into each other at KRoger, I think four times now. This weekend was the fourth time. And Mike instantly started giving me, yeah, as soon as he saw me. I can't believe you buy that toilet paper, would you? You can't. You can't get two dozen eggs. Only one is enough for you. What's going on? You are an only child, aren't you? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

>> Mike: Selfish, self centered.

>> Darin: So of course Mike and I run into each other at the store. We have a miniature episode of the podcast. We talk to each other for hours during the week, and then we have to talk to each other more at the grocery store. So the funny thing was my friend Angela walked past me and she goes, hi there. And I'm like, hey, Angela, how are you? Fantastic. Great. What's going on? You look fantastic. And tell Gary I said hi. And, and she goes, you too. It's great to see you. Big smile. And then she left. And Mike says, yeah, you don't know her.

>> Mike: Yeah, it was, all of it. It was so. Guys, it was so manufactured. She comes out this big smile and he just happens to turn and see her. Oh, hey, Angela. And she's, oh, hey, Aaron.

>> Darin: Yeah, it's because Angela is genuinely. When she sees me, Angela likes me. Yeah. Angela and I are friends. Okay. Okay. Yeah. And then in five minutes, it's like we're in a play. It's like, oh, yeah. This other extra walks through the front of the store and waves. And Mike's like, hey, you, how's it going? I guess I could. Then Mike's like, I have no idea what his name. I can't remember for 25 years. I don't know his name.

>> Mike: I'm terrible with names. I'm also an and that thing combined. Sometimes I will nickname people in my mind that's not their name.

>> Darin: What's up?

>> Mike: And I'll accidentally, call them that from time to time. So now I'm. Now I'm just. I'm the guy that now I'll say like, hey, you, nice to see you today.

>> Darin: Yeah, that's a good.

>> Mike: How are you doing today, you person who I've known my entire life.

>> Darin: anyway. But that's not the Kroger story of the week. The Kroger story of the week is whenever I go into my local Kroger. If my favorite cashier is working there, I will go through his line. I. I don't care if there's 12 people and each person has two entire carts full of groceries. I will go through his line because I want to hear what he has to say. He tells fascinating stories about whales and, he knows a lot about professional wrestling and when coins were minted. Tell me about the origin of some. The 5 cent piece, the nickel, as some people call it, when it was first minted. I'm like, the half time. Yeah. So I'm always ready to hear what he has to say. And so I get through his line and he looks at my T shirt and he goes, oh, 1984. That's the year that my celebrity, crush was born. And I said, who's your celebrity crush? Carrie Underwood. And I said, hold on a second. I thought you were crushing hard on Katie Holmes. He goes, yeah, I had to let her go. I said, what? Why? He goes, I just came to the realization that it was never going to happen. And, and I pondered it and I prayed on it, and I just had to. I had to let her go. I had to move on. So you. You m. Moved on to Carrie Underwood. And I wanted to say, you know, your shot with Carrie Underwood is the same as your shot with Katie Holmes. Yeah, right. But anyway, so his celebrity crush is now Carrie Underwood. And I'm like, well, you know what, Good luck with that. And he asked who my celebrity coach was, and I said, Barbara Stanwyck. That would have been funny if you had any clue who Barbara Stanwyck is.


Lee Majors was on the Big Valley. I know who Lee Majors is

Oh, no, she was on the Big Valley.

>> Mike: Okay, I know. I don't know what that is either. I know who Lee Majors is.

>> Darin: You don't know the Big Valley?

>> Mike: Lee Majors was the fall guy, right?

>> Darin: Yeah, he was the fall guy.

>> Mike: I know that.


Charlie's parents argued about going early to his football game

>> Dave: This has been the Kroger story of the week.

>> Mike: Charlie plays football. Right. Okay. And they have a thing, especially in these days, where they bring the kids out with their family to introduce them. And it's called a, parent meet and greet or something. I don't know what it's called because I wasn't paying attention to the text thread, which is part of this story I apparently now best claims she told me about this.

>> Darin: You and I share the same.

>> Mike: I beg to differ.

>> Darin: I am just so guilty of doing this. So is that tonight? And Libby says it was in the text.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Well, yeah.

>> Mike: okay, here's the deal. When we bring Charlie to his Football games. We have to have him there an hour early, of course. So the idea of going early to the game, it's not strange, it's not foreign. So that's the first clue I was supposed to pick up on is that we're going early. My retort was we always go early. How is this any different? The second clue point that was brought up to me was didn't you think it was odd that we were standing in the field in the end zone with all the other parents and the kids? You didn't pick up on that? And I said, what was your retort? I thought that's just where we were standing that day. We were always standing over at the stands. I thought, well, we'll stand with the end zone before the kids walk out. And then she said, did you think it was strange that they were lined up by number sequentially that Charlie's number four and, and he was the fourth kid in line and that we were on either side of him. Did that ring a bell?

>> Darin: And you're like, he's never four.

>> Mike: The reason we're having this argument and we had the argument by the way, on the 50 yard line in front of all the other parents and the photographer was because when we were told to go, which you know, she told you to start walking. And as we're walking I'm saying, hey, they said to angle, we need to go over to where the balloons are. And Beth said, stop, she's taking our picture. And I look and there's a photographer right in front of us just capturing this beautiful moment of us right there at this point on the 40 yard line. And then we get to the 50, we get to the balloons and we're doing the thing, we're like silent and I'm like, you didn't tell me that we were gonna get out here. Alright. I wouldn't have worn, wouldn't have worn my pussifer T shirt. I would have, I can't, I don't remember what it was. It was not appropriate. I was wearing slides. I was wearing basically flip flops, and shorts and something else. And all the other parents had their Lakota lightning gear on. I was like, you didn't tell me I was gonna do. And then we're in the stands for the start of the game. I told you that we were having the player presentation. I was like, I just, I don't know what that is.

>> Mike: I don't know what that is. I didn't know that that meant I was gonna walk out on the field, I was like, why did you let me walk out on the field with shorts? And I had my Oasis bucket hat. I had that on. I had to take it off at the last minute. And she said, well, that's just how you always look. That is how I always look. I'm just saying I don't think it was my fault that I didn't know what was going on. And she said, I told. She said, I told you about it. I told you everything about it. I did not believe her. Went back through our text and all she said was, it's player participation something night.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: And that was like a week before. I don't know what that is.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: I do now.

>> Mike: And here's the problem, is that if he plays again next year, I'll forget again.

>> Darin: Right?

>> Mike: It's just enough time. One year is enough time to forget all of this stuff.


Darren and Libby have been married for 23 years

Been married over 23 years at this point. And when people ask me, what's the difference between when you're first married and when you're married 23 years? People who've been married for 23 years have arguments with each other through clenched, smiling teeth on the 50 yard line in front of parents from both teams. So that picture, people will, you know, Andrew and Charlie will see that picture years from now, mom and dad smiling, and only Charlie will remember. Dad was like, you didn't tell me this is what this was. I told you. It was in the email.

>> Darin: I love my wife very much. There have been many, many times where I have forgotten to do the thing. Okay. Where I forgot it's my night to drive them to karate, or I forgot it's my night to pick them up for something. Or I forgot that I was supposed to get the, prescription or the subscription, as I call it. And. And the kids say, dad, that's not what it's called. And like I said, I'm always the one who does it. But when we're at the point in our marriage where. When Libby does it. Oh, oh, I'm so excited about that because shortly after we had moved the new house that we moved into, we ordered a washer and a dryer. The washer was on backorder or something. It wasn't coming to our house for a couple of weeks, so I had to go and do our laundry at a laundromat and I dropped the kids off at karate and Livia's supposed to pick them up at karate, so. And then I dropped the kids off and then I went and I'm doing our laundry at the laundromat. I get a call from the, from the dojo, Ms. Robin. And she's like, Darren, hi. We were wondering if you were coming to pick up Jacob. And I said, well, you know what, Robin? Turns out that Libby is supposed to get the boys. Libby's supposed to get them. And she's like, well, I tried calling Libby. She's not answering. I'm like, you know, that's just like her. That is just like her. Hang on a second. I am going to tear into her. And I called Libby up. I'm like, you know, you're supposed to pick up the boys that karate. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Yeah. Oh my God is right. I'll tell you. I bet you they're crying. They are crying thinking that their mother does not love them because things are more important to you than picking up your. Oh my God. And I loved every second of it. I was so. And it doesn't matter. And Libby said, this is the one time I've forgotten something. And you have forgotten 2,000 things. I'm M like, yeah, but you forgot this time. Yeah, you forgot it this time. I m loved it so much. I loved it after I knew they were safe. They're safe.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: They're inside. There's no threat to the children at all. And Ms. Robin is totally fine waiting for Libby to come.

>> Mike: I mean, I had a brief moment of that when I was able to show the text that just said this is parent participation night. Because my response to that was, you know, that I don't know what that means. Yep, that didn't go very well. But still I used it foreign.


The artwork for Irritable Dadson was done by Jeff Brown

Have you seen the tick tocks of Bob Ross losing his?

>> Darin: I have. They're great. You gotta love TikTok. You absolutely gotta love TikTok. So my buddy Jeff Brown, he did our logo.

>> Mike: His artwork.

>> Darin: Yeah, yeah. The artwork for Irritable Dadson was done by Jeff Brown, a, very extremely skilled graphic artist and photographer. So Jeff has been tooling around with AI and he is having so much fun. And he's got this little 20 second video of him playing electric guitar to a crowd of like 5,000 people. And it's kind of creepy. It really is kind of creepy. And he's loving everything about it. The best prank that Jeff Brown ever did when we worked at Channel 5 was my friend Jennifer had this picture of her and her two daughters. And after work, after Jennifer had left, Jeff went up to her office and he took the photo out of the frame. He, made a copy of it and then he photoshopped me holding a Pepsi behind them in like the trees behind them just standing there. And he puts it back in the frame and puts it back on Jennifer's desk. So Jennifer comes into work, like 9 o'. Clock. About 9:15, I get a call. I'm like, hello, this is Darren. She's crying, just crying, laughing. And she kept that photo with me in it holding the Pepsi in my hand for a good two or three weeks. Anyway, she finally put the regular one back in, but she kept the picture that Jeff photoshopped.

Every time I see a monster cereal, I'm like, those look gross

Now back to the show.

>> Darin: A few weeks ago, I had decided that, I'm at the grocery store and I'm passing the monster cereals. Okay. And every time I see a monster cereal, I'm like, those look gross. I don't know why people buy them. I finally decided to try one and I got the, blueberry. No, Frankenberry. The strawberry flavor one. Yeah. And it was okay.

>> Mike: They've done something with the Krispies. Yeah, they're not. They're like Styrofoam now.

>> Darin: They're the marshmallows.

>> Mike: No, no, no. The non marshmallow parts. The crunchies.

>> Darin: Oh.

>> Mike: Does it seem weird? It seems like you're chewing plastic now. It wasn't like that when I was a kid.

>> Darin: Well, I don't know, because my parents wouldn't buy it for me when I was a kid because they didn't love me.

>> Mike: I was.

>> Darin: I was kidding. My mom loved me very much. And that's why she didn't buy me those cereals because she loved me so much. So anyway, so m. I'm telling all my friends on the Facebook that I bought this Frankenberry cereal. And more than one person said vehemently, boy, did you choose wrong. Yeah, you should have got the Count Chocula. I think you were one of the people.

>> Mike: No, I'm all blueberry. I'm full blown blueberry.

>> Darin: I see. Okay. Anyway, so I bought the Count Chocula. Here's a hot take. Ah, yeah, it wasn't that amazing. It didn't change my life. It didn't rock my world.

>> Mike: In the great serial wars of the 80s, the monster series was a formidable foe in the. In the marshmallow realm. So whatever happened, Lucky Charms won that battle. Now, there was a Pac man cereal, and that was awesome.

>> Darin: Pac Man.

>> Mike: Yeah, because it was the little pellets that was basically kicks, I think.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And then they had the Pac man marshmallows. I. I ate so much Pac man cereal, it was ridiculous. A lot of Pac man cereal.

>> Darin: Well, I've mentioned before on this podcast that I loved the Big Mix cereal with the chicken wolf moose pig on. And, it was really good, and it wasn't bad for you either, but I loved eating that. as far as the, the kids cereal goes, I mean, God, I still am. I can devour an entire box of Fruit Loops.

>> Mike: No, I could do that. Fruity Fruity Pebbles will not last a night here with me in the house.

>> Darin: I don't care for Fruity Pebbles. Fruity Pebbles taste like, Rice Krispies that you just, threw some food coloring on.

>> Mike: Wonderful. sorry, Captain Crunch. I'm not allowed to buy that anymore. I'm on. I'm on a list.

>> Darin: I love Captain Crunch. Captain Crunch.

>> Mike: Captain Crunch. You need. You'll need stitches in the roof of your mouth after you eat it. And it was, it was what they.

>> Darin: Said in Family Guy, and I was laughing about it. I'm like, oh, my God, they are right. It does scratch the roof of your mouth.

>> Mike: There was an article in the 90s, back when they wrote, you know, print articles in magazines and stuff about how the most unhealthy cereal of all time, they voted. And Captain Crunch was voted the most unhealthy cereal but you could possibly eat. So when I read that article, first thing I did was go out and buy some Cappuccino Crunch.

>> Darin: Buy a box.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Now, do you ever buy the, like one of the varieties, like, no.

>> Mike: The Stall Berries pissed at me. Pisted me off. Pissed me right off.

>> Darin: Pisted me off.

>> Mike: Because I got the Cap' n Crunch with the berries once back in the day. And then I always thought the berries Tasted horrible.

>> Mike: And then when they said oops, all berries, I was like, nah. Yeah, it's no need.

>> Darin: Oops. I did it again. And then at Christmas time they have the, Christmas berries. But I'm just an old school Captain Crunch fan, you know.

>> Mike: Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

>> Darin: Oh, I've, got a problem with Cinnamon Toast Crunch. And as well, I drink the milk anyway. But you gotta drink the milk after cinnamon. Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

>> Mike: I'm not a milk drinker.


This portion of Irritable Dad Syndrome contains sensitive material

I can't.

>> Darin: Full of cinnamon.

>> Mike: Can't do it.

>> Darin: You gotta drink it.

>> Mike: But yeah, I'm a Lucky Charms guy. Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I won't buy it for myself, but I'll buy it for the, the kids and then I'll eat it all.

>> Darin: That's right.

>> Mike: I do like Froot Loops, but I go back and forth. I Fruit Loops, basically. Fruity Pebbles are Fruit Loops that went through a shredder is basically what they are. So I go back and forth, right? I'm a guy that likes to get the Rice Krispies and get a bunch of sugar and put like three teaspoons of sugar.

>> Darin: You scrape the bottom of the bowl. Yeah.

>> Mike: It makes a little mountain of sugar under there.

>> Darin: Or you could. Now, I don't know why they don't do this, but the frosted Rice Krispies. Shut up. You can buy already frosted Rice Krispies, but they sell them in a box that's so small that you get like two bowls of cereal out of that. And with my kids, if I ever buy frosted Rice Krispies, it's gone before I get any.

>> Mike: Did you?

>> Darin: And I bought it.

>> Dave: Warning. This portion of Irritable Dad Syndrome contains sensitive material and is for mature audiences only. yeah, right. Like any mature people. Listen to this of crap.

>> Mike: Did you know that cornflakes was invented to combat sexual immorality?

>> Darin: I did not know that.

>> Mike: Look it up.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: The dude that invented it wanted to make a cereal that was so bland that people would stop.

>> Darin: I don't feel like no more.

>> Mike: I thought that entire story, that entire, The cereal box has a giant on the front of it. They need to take that off and just put that story word for word about that guy.

>> Darin: It's so bland, it will take away your desire.

>> Mike: I was fitty when I learned that.

>> Darin: So inappropriate, Darren. So inappropriate. Well, I've mentioned before, I want to be in the boardroom when they had the meeting. They're like, look, we're going to take some corn, okay? We're going to grind it up and then we're Going to flatten it into flakes. Yeah. Okay. And then we're going to coat it with sugar on both sides.

>> Mike: Right?

>> Darin: Okay. And then we're going to put it in a box with a tiger on it. Yeah. And we're going to call it Frosted Flakes.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: What's Tony the Tiger? How did Tony the Tiger become the mascot for Frosted Flakes? Flakes of corn. Because not enough tigers love eating corn.

>> Mike: Everybody quit. And they had to put a tiger on the thing and put sugar on it.

>> Darin: Learning that fact, y' all quit out the tiger.

>> Mike: That's right. Learning that fact revolutionized it. Now cereal is like, you know, when they. When they go into. When they went into the pyramids for the first time, they saw all the hieroglyphics and the history of thousands of years. That's what the cereal aisle is to me now. It's like Corn Flakes is always down at the end with grape nuts. Right? The two cereals that are supposed to stop you from what?

>> Darin: Why is it grape nuts? There's no grapes, there's no nuts.

>> Mike: Then you go to Corn Pops. Those are. It's always down there with them.

>> Darin: That'll make you wanna.

>> Mike: Yeah. And then Cap' N Crunch says, you know what? He just comes in the most horrible cereal for you. Comes in right after Corn Pops. Go look at Kroger.

>> Darin: It's.

>> Mike: It's, Ah, not up this way. You go all the way down the other end. That's where your Lucky Charms, your Fruit Loops, your Fruity Pebbles, all those communist cereals are down there.

>> Darin: I swear to God, the next time I go, I'm gonna have to get a big box of Fruit Loops. We always get one on vacation. I don't know why we reserve. Yeah. That right to do on vacation. But it's like, we're on vacation. We're on vacation. Let's go crazy. Let's smear blood all over our bodies. Or eat Froot Loo.

>> Mike: Or go to Walmart and get a pillow bag of Fruit O's or Fruity Scabs, whatever Fruity Pebbles are called.


A guy spelled my name correctly when I ordered a burger at Liberty Collective

>> Darin: What did Kevin Rupert call it when he was on our show?

>> Mike: I can't. Fruit O's Fruit O's Free rings.

>> Darin: I think it is called Fruit Rings.

>> Speaker C: Ah, waka waka waka.

>> Darin: There's a new restaurant around town called the Liberty Collective.

>> Mike: Where be it?

>> Darin: And inside. Near, Lakota East High School.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: Yeah. And when you go inside it, there's a giant, like 2 million by 4 million pixel TV for watching the football.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Okay. There's a giant wall full of spouts, or, I'm sorry, taps, where if you order beer, you can go get your beer at the tap. There's a pizza place. There is a burger place. There's a burrito place. There's like. It's like a giant food court. And, the. I ordered a burger, and Libby went and got a fried chicken salad. Pretty good. Yeah. The guy at, Liberty Collective did something that no one at a restaurant has ever done. And I've got plenty of stories of people screwing up my name. You will never guess how this guy spelled my name when I ordered a burger at Liberty Collective.

>> Mike: Darfin.

>> Darin: Nope. I'll just tell you because you're not gonna guess. He spelled it correctly.

>> Mike: Oh.

>> Darin: D, A, R, I, N. I lost my mind. I said, you have got to be kidding me. And he thought that, his burger that he gave me had blood all over. I said, how did you know that's how I spelled my name? And he says, actually, when I wrote it, I was convinced that I misspelled it.

>> Mike: No, exit it.

>> Darin: You got it, right? Congratulations. And we had a fist bump. We had a moment there for a little bit. Okay. Yeah, it was cool. It was really, really cool.
