>> Darin: To everybody who is waiting. Hi, I'm Darren. That's Mike.

>> Mike: I'm, Mike.

>> Darin: We were supposed to have a guest tonight.

>> Mike: Mike Chisholm.

>> Darin: Mike Chisholm. He's from Canada. And I texted him earlier today. I said, we still on for 7pm Eastern time. And he, never replied. And so now it's, 7:23 Eastern Standard Time.

>> Mike: He lives in. And as Darren said, in Canada, which is damn near the North Pole.

>> Darin: And he's pulling this. Oh, I put five o' clock down in my planner. That's not. Is that my fault that you wrote down the wrong time in your planner? He didn't reply to my, to my confirmation.

>> Mike: And when have you ever trusted a Canadian?

>> Darin: When we.

>> Mike: When we buy.

>> Darin: Last time I trusted a Canadian was when I bought Brian Adams greatest hit.

>> Mike: When you look at the. Like, if you're buying a book or something, it has the US Price and then a cad. Remember the first time my kids said, what's up with cad? And I was like, you don't need to worry nothing. That's America's hat.

>> Darin: Just leave it alone.

>> Mike: It doesn't matter.

>> Darin: America's hat.

>> Mike: That's not mine. I stole that. I forget who that. I don't know who. I think it was Robin Williams.

>> Darin: I'm gonna call him one more time.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Mike: Pancake.

>> Mike: syrup?

>> Darin: Oh, yeah. Because it just comes right out of the trees.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: it's.

>> Mike: There's like rivers of it up there. Moose.

>> Darin: So many moose up in Canada.

>> Mike: More moose, I would say, in Canada. In one square mile of Canada has more moose than the entire state of Florida in the winter.

>> Darin: In the summer, they all go to Hawaii.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Mike: Hello, sir.

>> Darin: How is this my fault? That you wrote it wrong on your planner.

>> Mike: I get it.

>> Darin: Because I don't want to hear. I don't want to hear those untrustworthy Americans.

>> Mike: Oh, no, no, no. It has nothing to do with. With anybody living below the 49th parallel. It has nothing to do with that whatsoever.

>> Darin: No, no, no.

>> Mike: This is, this is my error.

>> Darin: Okay? It's funny.

>> Mike: When you and I were texting each other earlier about the demise of, your former vice president.

>> Darin: Yes, Dick Kaboom.

We were supposed to have a guest tonight, Mike Chisholm

We were supposed to have a guest tonight, Mike Chisholm, who is host of the Letterman podcast. Mike conveniently bailed on us, so it's lucky that good old Darren here still has a backup rundown, because I show up prepared.

>> Mike: I love Mike Chisholm and I'm not afraid to say it. Even though he's. Even though he's a foreigner, I still love him like a brother.

>> Darin: He's a good guy.

>> Mike: He's happy, he's excited. I'm not a fan of the greetings on his voicemail. Greetings.

>> Darin: Hi. You know, I'm so Canadian.

>> Mike: Yes. Yeah. Put your back in your pants.

>> Darin: Come on. Just have some respect.

>> Mike: Calm down. But I am really excited, and one of the reasons I'm really excited is that, he has. He has been so happy about the Nine Inch Nails tour.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Throughout my life, I've met people that like Nine Inch Nails.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And I always view them like a scientific specimen. I am one, by the way, because anytime someone likes Nine Inch Nails, you start to wonder, well, Nine Inch Nails is all over. Like, do you like the Closer? I want to, you know, like an animal and heresy? Or are you on the. The dancy stuff? Or are you in the music soundtrack stuff? Or are you a, ah, weirdo like me who likes all.

>> Darin: A little bit of all of it.

>> Mike: A little bit. A little bit of all it.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: But I'm just excited to talk to him about.

>> Darin: You and I are going to see Nine.

>> Mike: We are going to go see them, you know, in the. Columbus.

>> Darin: In Columbus, Ohio, our state's capital, at.

>> Mike: The Schottenstein, ah, theater, man. The last time I was there, I saw the Game of Thrones live.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: Ramon Giwaldi. And you know who wasn't there? Ramon Giwaldi. Uh-huh. So he was sick, and they didn't tell us that until we're walking through the door and there was a nice little printed out sign. Somebody popped up. Word really quickly. Sorry.

>> Darin: Reminds you, Walt, he ain't here.

>> Mike: I think it said something like, bro has Covid and we have the substitute conductor.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: It did really well. But still, the entire time, I'm thinking it's just not jewelry.

>> Darin: No, it's not. Ramon Giwaldi.

>> Mike: Not Ramon.

>> Darin: Yeah, well, I'm sorry that you missed that, but, sort of, I don't know. I wouldn't know Ramon Giwaldi if he came in and kissed me on the cheek.

>> Mike: The problem with me derailing the podcast like I do is that I often take it right ass over tea kettle into the woods, and then I look at you like you're supposed to rescue it. Like, almost like it's your fault all over the floor. Look at you. Like, darren, what? How are you going to handle this?

>> Darin: Good luck. You just put some sound effects in it and just there you go right here on TV15.


Darren: I hope you're not going to squeeze the Charmin

I want to talk about my neighbor, Chris Michael. I've, about had it with him. And I want to talk about Charmin Toilet Paper. So this is going to be a really good episode.

>> Mike: I hope you're not going to squeeze the Charmin.

>> Darin: Don't squeeze a Sherman, please, for the love of God. You know, I work for Antenna tv, and when I first started, they assigned me a promo for My Favorite Martian. Now, if you haven't watched My Favorite Martian with Bill Bixby, you gotta go and watch My Favorite Martian. It is a fantastic show. And I'm down in my basement where my home office is, and I'm laughing my proverbial, my ass off. And my wife would poke her head down occasionally. Is everything okay down there? I'm like, oh, there's these wacky Martians nuts, you know? So the. My favorite, Charmin.

>> Mike: Ah.

>> Darin: Guy. The Charmin guy in the.

>> Mike: Mr. Whipple.

>> Darin: Mr. Whipple was on an episode of My Favorite Martian, and I worked by myself, and I'm in my basement, and I said, quote, hey, it's the Mr. Whipple guy. To nobody.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And that story went nowhere.

>> Mike: Here's the deal, anyway, we're going to.

>> Darin: Talk about Sherman later on.

>> Mike: I was a kid, as we all were, when Mr. Sherman. Mr. Whipple's talking about squeezing the Charmin. And I never understood why he was so obsessed with not letting people squeeze the Charmin. And I thought, as a kid, maybe when I'm an adult, I'll understand it. I'm. I'm sitting here. I'm 50. I don't understand it.

>> Darin: I think.

>> Mike: I don't get it.

>> Darin: Some sort of mental disorder. No offense to anybody who has a squeezing disorder.

>> Mike: You just don't want people walking around the store squeezing things. But I would think toilet paper would be off that list. You need to understand if it's going to chafe your buttocks.

>> Darin: That's right. But I don't know how squeezing it would give you that answer.

>> Mike: It depends on how you wipe your ass.

>> Darin: Well, okay. Okay.

>> Mike: Wow.

>> Darin: All right.

>> Mike: Full circle, right into the toilet again.

>> Darin: Darren, good luck.

>> Mike: This is now the. On a Sunday afternoon. Darren's like, well, it was funny.

>> Darin: I'm the one who.

>> Mike: But I can't put it in there.

>> Darin: I agreed to do the.

>> Mike: Agree to do it.

>> Darin: Yeah.


Netflix has a TV show called Nobody Wants this. I am obsessed with this show

Before we get into anything else, I want to talk about. Netflix has a TV show called Nobody Wants this. And I am obsessed with this show.

>> Mike: What's it about?

>> Darin: I am obsessed, and it's a rom com. It's unlike anything that most people would expect that I would watch. Okay. Because I like a lot of crime dramas. I like comedies. I like, like, I'm a huge fan of Longmire, okay? Detective out in the. In the west, solving crimes and kicking ass and that type of thing. But, nobody wants. This is straight up rom com and it stars Kristen Bell. And I can't think of the other actors names, but she is a woman named Joanne. Okay? And she and her sister Morgan, by the way, Morgan is like the greatest character on TV in decades. Okay? She is hysterical, and she is a straight up mess. Okay? I m. Can't even begin to emphasize how great the character Morgan is. Nobody, wants this. She is. She lights up the screen.

>> Mike: She.

>> Darin: She's hysterical. Right? So I told my wife, Libby, we watched a lot of TV shows together. Do you. And best watch TV shows together?

>> Mike: On occasion.

>> Darin: you watch your own thing?

>> Mike: we do both. We do both.

>> Darin: Yeah. I occasionally will watch something that Libby does not partake in, like Ed Gein.

>> Mike: Nobody, boy. Partake. Nobody partake or nobody wanted to.

>> Darin: I was gonna watch that. Yeah, that. That was creepy. Af, as the kids say. So we had wrapped up a show, and then I said, hey, let's try this. And I put it on. God, am I sucked in? Okay. Just totally sucked into the show. She falls in love with a rabbi, this guy named Noah. Okay? And Joanne is not Jewish. So there's a conflict. What am I supposed to convert? Are you able to. To have a relationship with the person who's not Jewish? Okay. And this guy, he is a fantastic rabbi. Like, if I was Jewish, I. I would want him as my rabbi. Okay. I cannot stress enough how great his character is. The only problem I have with Noah, is he needs to shave his neck. The boy has a neck beard. Yes. He has a throaty, and it is ugly. And Livy and I both will be watching, and if there's a break in the conversation, we'll both say, shave your neck, Noah. but he's great. His older brother Sasha is hilarious. He's an idiot. a lovable idiot. Anyway, you and I have talked about having a second podcast, the other podcast where we talk about, work issues or, issues with, particular people.

>> Mike: Like Chris Hughes.

>> Darin: Yes. Yeah, exactly. I'm wanting to do a third podcast where we rewatch Nobody wants this, and then just talk about it for three, four hours at a time. I think I need help. I really, really do. Because we. There was 20 episodes, and, we burned through it in about a week. And Libby would be like, Darren, do you want to, you know, maybe save some of these for later? No, I played the Next one. And then I played the next one. And then I played the next one. I have a problem. nobody wants this.

>> Mike: Yeah. We're having a TV crisis in our house right now. Multiple facets. Welcome to Derry.

>> Darin: Huh? Uh-huh.

>> Mike: Is out, and the kids want to watch it, and I'm busy.

>> Darin: Welcome to Derry.

>> Mike: Welcome to Dairy. It's the it prequel. It's a show.


They're rebooting, uh, Malcolm in the Middle. So take this with a huge grain of salt

>> Darin: Oh, the. The clown with the balloons.

>> Mike: The. Yeah.

>> Darin: Pennywise.

>> Mike: Pennywise.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: The prequel to the movies, and it's on hbo.

>> Darin: It's called welcome to Dairy.

>> Mike: Dairy.

>> Darin: Like D A I R Y.

>> Mike: no, it's not about milkshakes. D E R R Y is the name of the.

>> Darin: Have some butter, little girl.

>> Mike: It would be an awesome show.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: How about some chocolate chip? You know, listen.

>> Darin: What?

>> Mike: So I'm not a fan of, of watching that.

>> Darin: Okay, then.

>> Mike: Also on the other side is the Stranger Things, I guess is going into its final season, fifth and final, and it's gonna be on the big screen is the final, final show. And that's starting in, like, 20 days or something.

>> Darin: Yeah. Okay.

>> Mike: I've always wanted to get caught up.

>> Darin: Uh-huh.

>> Mike: And I've been informed.

>> Darin: Show.

>> Mike: I've been informed that we're all going to see the movie when it comes out, which means now I have a deadline to get caught up.

>> Darin: All right.

>> Mike: That's stressing me out, because I just. I'm. I, I, I. I don't know.

>> Darin: I don't know why they're doing that, because people are going to wait for it to, come back to Netflix.

>> Mike: Oh, we're going to be at the theater. The theater.

>> Darin: All right. Millie Bobby Brown is on that show. She plays 11, but the cool kids call her L. I'm just going to.

>> Mike: Throw this out there.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: I saw now, you know, we live in the age of AI, and Skynet, artificial intelligence, HAL 9000, Gumby, all this stuff. So take this with a huge grain of salt. Do m. You got a grain of salt to take this with?

>> Darin: I've got some in my pocket.

>> Mike: Bryan Cranston may reprise, the role of Walt.

>> Darin: For what?

>> Mike: I don't know.

>> Darin: Where did you hear that?

>> Mike: On the Facebook. So you know it's true.

>> Darin: Well, if it's okay.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: I know he's. They're rebooting, Malcolm in the Middle.

>> Mike: Really?

>> Darin: Yeah. And he's, he's all on board, which, God love him. I mean, he wasn't the main guy.

>> Mike: And Malcolm in the Middle, he was in the middle.

>> Darin: Yeah, he was Malcolm.

>> Mike: Malcolm was in the.

>> Darin: No, Malcolm was in the middle. Yeah, but Brian Cranston's character wasn't the lead character in the show.

>> Mike: He was the dad.

>> Darin: Yeah, the. Who was. Was Malcolm the lead character? Frankie Muniz.

>> Mike: Frankie Nunes.

>> Darin: Nunes or Nunes. Nunes.

>> Mike: Okay. Yeah, both. You could probably say it either way, I think. And they're just going to assume you're saying it the right way.

>> Darin: I'm here with Frankie Muniz, and they're like.

>> Mike: It's like if you said odle or ogle.

>> Darin: Ogle.

>> Mike: I'm just going to answer to both. I don't care.

>> Darin: Mike. Ogle.

>> Mike: Yeah. Yeah. Oglethorpe.

>> Darin: Yeah.


Brian Cranston said he's open to reprising the role of Walter White

So, but Walt. He can't.

>> Mike: I have no details.

>> Darin: He. Well, then why did you.

>> Mike: It was one of those big blue Facebook posts. It said, brian Cranston reprising, the role of Walt. Walt. Walter White said he's open to reprising the role of Walter White.

>> Darin: Well, I've said before that I think they should do either another movie like they did with El Camino, like, when the kids are old enough to receive their money, or, you know, did Skyler. Because there's still that, You know, it's like, did Skyler go to prison or did she, you know, get off, Scotch free?

>> Mike: Yeah, I think she's. I think she's fine.

>> Darin: It's still up in the air.

>> Mike: I think she's fine.

>> Darin: No, it wasn't. It wasn't completely fine, because remember, he. Spoiler alert. He gave her the lottery numbers. This is where are buried. and give that as to. To get your ass free.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: So we don't know if Scholar went to prison or not.

>> Mike: We also don't know if Walt Jr. Ever ate a meal other than breakfast.

>> Darin: That's right. This is Raisin Bran. I asked for Raisin Bran Crunch. Yeah. I love that. So, we also don't know if Skyler's sister Marie ever shoplifted again.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: She ever wear anything that wasn't purple?

>> Mike: I was. That's. What did she ever learn that they were minerals.

>> Darin: Damn it.

>> Mike: Not rocks.

>> Darin: When we watched it, because we watched the whole series with the kids, and every time Marie would come on.

>> Dave: Purple.

>> Darin: Purple. Whoever yelled purple first, won a, prize.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: I've heard that. Loosely based.

>> Mike: It's. You really, really stretching it. It's. It's about as loose as you get.

>> Darin: Uh-huh. I mean, it is loosey.

>> Mike: Goosey Lucy all over the goosey. This one, apparently. And I just. From the trailer, I recognize. When I was reading the book, I recognized scene. The trailer. So this one seems to follow it pretty closely. It may be a little too closely because. And I'm not going to spoil the ending, but it does have an interesting ending. And I saw parts of the ending in the latest trailer that came out. So I'm like, oh, they're going there.

>> Darin: Okay. Okay.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: Things aren't going well with the economy.

>> Mike: And the government's all jacked up.

>> Darin: Interesting.

>> Mike: Yeah. And people are poor. And the only way to really get money is to, to engage in these game shows. In the original Arnold movie, it was. The Running man was the game show.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: In the book, there's tons of them. That's like, what drives the economy. Okay.

>> Darin: You can go on. You try out Wild.

>> Mike: Yeah. You try out for them. So $10,000 suck. They have game shows where it's literally you stand and someone's shooting at you. And if you dodge all the bullets, your family gets, like, a hundred dollars for every second you say a lot.

>> Darin: Pressure, luck.

>> Mike: You're gonna keep doing that.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Darin: And this week, I have, like, channeled Mike. And, I'm. I'm sorry. 30 days and the world is. Is your oyster. What? What? What?

>> Mike: 30 days for the entire world hunting you down.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: So you and me, we're not people that are going to, like, kill somebody or hunt somebody down. Oh, I would, but we would get money for tips. Like, if we saw him running down the tips.

>> Darin: Oh, okay.

>> Mike: If we saw him running down the street, we called the popo and pointed it out. We get a couple hundred clams.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: Right. Who's not going to do that? Especially when everyone's poor.

>> Darin: Oh, yeah.

>> Mike: And, and he has to film himself. There's no cameras following him. He has to film himself at different points and mail those. Mail those in. Yeah. Literally. Selfies in the book. One of the selfies is of his ass. M. And he's just messing with them. He is a jerk in the book, but in a good way. He's, like, flipping off the. It's Rage against the Machine, the movie.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: And it's going to be great.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: And Glenn Powell is, Ben Richards.

>> Darin: Okay. Did they get Arnold to make a cameo in this?

>> Mike: I would. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't because there's a tryout thing and there's some older contestants, and it would be kind of cool if he were one of the people that. In the tryouts. That doesn't make it. Or one of the older commentators. That would be really cool. It's gonna be an awesome movie, and I'm excited.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: more movie news. I'm. I'm. And then I'll be done.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: I'll shut up. You'd have the rest of the show.


Depeche Mode concert movie is one of the best I've seen

Elizabeth, and I. My wife. We went to go see.

>> Darin: My wife. What is that?

>> Mike: Sorry. right now, editing. Darren is going to look for the Borat clip. My wife.

>> Darin: This is my wife.

>> Mike: We went to go see, Depeche Mode. M M. Okay. That's one of the best concert movies I've ever seen.

>> Darin: Well, according to Bess's review, she said.

>> Mike: It was weird at the beginning.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: And I would agree.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: It takes place in Mexico. M. Right. They did three nights in Mexico.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: They filmed. It's kind of like Rattle and hum. They have, like, a couple of Songs, that YouTube documentary. They have a couple of songs and then they do some stuff and then they do a couple songs and do some stuff and come back. That part where they do some stuff is like almost like a Mexican documentary on death.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: Okay. And they're tying together Depeche Mode's music with death. And it's very heavy handed and dark in the beginning and it gets lighter and lighter and lighter as you go through the movie until they're like laughing on stage and having fun. And it's really, it's a really cool transition. And the documentary portion about death is talking about how it's not a bad thing. It's a good transition. It's something to not welcome but to like, don't be sad that it's happening. It's just the next stage.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: And it. Everything's okay. And it's. It just beautifully goes through that. The, the mood of the songs, the lighting, the colors they choose to use the colors. The fact that they look like they're 90,000 fricking years old at the beginning of the movie and then by the end of it, they look like kind of like they did in the. In the 90s.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: The same thing. It's just different lighting and the way they do. It's really cool movie. I really enjoyed it.


I accidentally offended some Rush fans by mispronouncing their last name

>> Darin: Normally I'm not happy that I piss off people, but I pissed off some Rush fans.

>> Mike: Oh.

>> Darin: Oh. And I totally didn't mean to. A few weeks ago we were talking about Rush going on tour and I said that Geddy Lee and Alex Lifasi.

>> Mike: See, Darren, can I interrupt? Darren knows the dude's name is Lifeson. He knows that.

>> Darin: Liffison. I know his last name is Lifeson, but you. You know what? We constantly mispronounce words. It's fine, because we love mispronouncing things. Yes, that's our motto.

>> Mike: We love to mispronounce and we don't know the definite. We don't still don't know what penultimate means.

>> Darin: No.

>> Mike: Five years. You think one of us would have looked it up?

>> Darin: Nope. Anyway, so Mike here makes a video of it and. Oh God, the comments. Ah, Lefison, question mark, question mark, question mark, question mark, question mark. All caps. Are you serious? Yes.

>> Mike: My question is, what the hell? We had so many comments on TikTok on YouTube and nobody ever comments on our Instagram. We had an Instagram comment go, I hope you know it's Lifeson. We had one person.

>> Darin: He's got to be Rage meeting.

>> Mike: Yeah, that guy. Got it. Guy Went back and forth with him a little bit and he thought it was funny.

>> Darin: I wasn't intentionally trying to do anything. I didn't know you were gonna post the video, but I was so much fun. It was so much fun.

>> Mike: if you ever troll a, ah, music group, I am going to make a video of that because it is comedy gold.

>> Darin: Well, yeah. Oh, the world.

>> Mike: It draws so many people to the.

>> Darin: Freaking podcast with David Lee Roth fans. And it worked. ZZ Top concert. Yeah.

>> Mike: Yes.

>> Darin: Yeah. Well. Well, I'll bring your binoculars. We're.

>> Mike: We're gonna be in the same state as Rush.

>> Darin: Barely.

>> Mike: We're gonna.

>> Darin: We got the tickets that you could afford, which literally are. I think they're outside the stadium. They are. We look through. There's like a little keyhole.

>> Mike: They're in a Denny's next door. They give you a picture of Rush and then they. And then somebody comes by and plays Tom Sawyer on the salt shaker with a pair of forks.

>> Darin: We are going for it. We are fully in support of Gettysburg and Alex.

>> Mike: They should be able to have fun.

>> Darin: They should. My God, they've been best friends forever.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And you know what, Neil? I believe with all my heart and soul that Neil would have wanted them to be happy and to continue in the spirit of music to keep the band alive. And I know Neil would want them to.

>> Mike: He absolutely would be heartbroken if they wanted to play music. And they weren't because. Right. Not here. Right.

>> Darin: So God love them, and I'm thrilled and I really am looking forward to this show.

Arizona says he was hobnobbing with some Chicago big shots

Now back to you guys in the studio.

>> Darin: A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that I went to Chicago and that I went to the Museum of Broadcast Communications. For the Johnny Carson exhibit, which was amazing. And while I was there, there was a big, there was, appetizers. Okay, cool.

>> Mike: What they have.

>> Darin: They had Chicago, pizza. Okay. They had Italian beef sandwiches, apparently, is a thing in Chicago. And what was the other. Oh, oh, oh, the Chicago hot dogs. And then they had some other things. They had, chips and some salsa and. And a lot of other things. And then there was a full bar. Well, not a full bar, but there was a bar. And so, there was a guy there who the best way I can describe it was like me, because I talk to strangers. A stranger is a friend you haven't met yet. So me and my two of the other producers in my department, my real good friends Alex and Todd, were at this party. It was a soiree. A lot of Chicago elite apparently were there. And so I was hobnobbing with some Chicago big shots. I have no idea who any of them were. And, I mean, the mayor of Chicago could have been there. And I said, you dropped your pretzel. No. This guy comes over and starts chatting up me and Alex and Todd, and he finds out that we work for antenna tv, and he starts talking classic television with us. Starts talking about, oh, he loved the Facts of Life and the Brady Bunch and. And he really loved, Happy Days and. And this show and this. And so we're just talking and talking and talking, and somehow we got on the topic of Tom Hanks, I think because Tom Hanks was on Happy Days.

>> Mike: He was Booze and Buddies.

>> Darin: He was on Booze and Buddies. He was also on an episode of the Love Boat. Well, this guy's wife comes over, and she gets in the conversation with us, okay? This is when Alex and Todd conveniently slip away, okay. And leave me with this dude, and I can't remember his name. This dude and his wife, and they were really nice. So we're on the topic of Tom Hanks, and he says, I'm gonna say something. I'm gonna give a hot take. That's what the kids say.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: An unpopular opinion.

>> Mike: Oh, a hot take, did you say? Please don't.

>> Darin: I said I was actually. I had a couple of beers. I was actually interested to see what his hot take was. And he said that Joe versus the Volcano was not a bad movie.

>> Mike: I. I never saw it, but I saw parts of it, and I don't think it would be a bad movie.

>> Darin: I don't.

>> Mike: Joe in a volcano. Right. Meg Ryan was in it.

>> Darin: Meg Ryan was.

>> Mike: How bad could it Be.

>> Darin: And John. No, John Candy was not in. John Candy was in volunteers with Tommy, Hanks. So I don't remember enough about Joe versus the volcano, but I remember not enjoying it. Okay. Anyway. But he is. I don't know how many he had in him. Drinks. Yeah. But he is hell bent on. It was not a bad movie. This is what this represented. This represented that this was the situation. This is why he did that. He was justified.

>> Mike: If you need it.

>> Darin: He was justified in doing this.

>> Mike: If you need a clue book to get through it, it might not have been a good movie.

>> Darin: His wife puts her hands on his shoulder like, it's okay, honey. It's okay. Right? Because he was getting a little. A little hot over it. Right?

>> Mike: This is how best gets. When I start defending raising Arizona.

>> Darin: What's to defend?

>> Mike: I'm gonna. I don't want to get my blood pressure up. I'm just. There are people, okay, There are. There are people that have problems with raising Arizona, because I will. I don't talk to them.

>> Darin: Okay?

>> Mike: I don't talk to him anymore.

>> Darin: Arizona.

>> Mike: Did you ask him what he thought about? Nothing but trouble.


Darren McCullough: Sleepless in Seattle is not a bad movie

And I know that Tom Hanks isn't in that, but I want a hot take on that one.

>> Darin: No.

>> Mike: Okay. God.

>> Darin: That movie. So his wife, to change the subject on, Joe versus a volcano, said, you know what, honey? My favorite Tom Hanks movie is Sleepless in Seattle, okay? And then I got in. I said, okay, this is my problem.

>> Mike: Not a bad movie.

>> Darin: It's not.

>> Mike: But it's like if you got all these movies to choose from, right?

>> Darin: I stumped her. I knocked her on her butt. I left her standing there in her own tracks. I said, this is my problem with Sleepless in Seattle. Okay? What about Bill Pullman? What about him? Okay. Meg Ryan and Bill Pullman were a thing.

>> Mike: All right?

>> Darin: Meg Ryan leaves Bill Pullman for a chance, a chance at true love. She has not met Tom Hanks yet. She does not know that Tom Hanks is the person that she's meeting at the top of the Empire State Building. Okay? She has no idea. We know it. Right?

>> Mike: Yeah. Because we saw the movie post when we walked in. We saw that.

>> Darin: Yeah. We, the viewers are watching this movie from the outside. And we know, of course, you're going to meet, and. And want to get together with Tom.

>> Mike: the Space Needle.

>> Darin: Of course.

>> Mike: Of course.

>> Darin: You are. Right. But Bill Pullman. What was wrong with Bill Pullman?

>> Darin: He was successful, okay? He was very kind to her.

>> Mike: He was the President of the United States.

>> Darin: He treated her with dignity and respect. He loved her. He had allergies. Okay.

>> Mike: He's a little sneezy.

>> Darin: They made him out to be this because he had allergies, and she left him for a chance at somebody that she has never met before. And that. And Bill Bowman was like, well, okay.

>> Mike: Well, it's because he's a good guy.

>> Darin: Because he's a good guy. I think that would have destroyed me.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: If Libby decided to leave me for some person that she's never even physically spoken to or texted or. What?

>> Mike: Because you sneezed once? Or you. Or you like Chris Michael?

>> Darin: Because I have allergies.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And that was my problem with Sleepless in Seattle, and I've never gotten over it. The lady who I was talking to, she's like, what? well, okay. Yeah. I'm like, yeah, yeah. My, buddy Alex was getting ready to leave the party, and he says, darren, do you need me to take you back to your hotel? And I said, yes, I. I do. Thank you, Alex. And I said, goodbye. And I can't remember the guy's name. The woman's name is Dorothy, which is my mom's name. but, yeah, but that's my problem with Sleepless in Seattle. If you agree with me, go to irritable dad syndrome.com and. And say, yes, Darren, I agree with you. And if you think I'm full of crap, then you can tell me that, too. But let me know. Let us know. We want to hear your opinion.


I mentioned at the beginning of the podcast that I'm upset with my neighbor Chris Michael

I mentioned at the beginning of the podcast that I'm upset with my neighbor, Chris Michael. Chris Michael is, okay. On paper, he's good guy. Okay? He is a patron of our show.

>> Mike: And he is a patriot.

>> Darin: He's a. Well, I don't know about that. He's a patron of our show. He has, donated financially to the show forever. So why am I talking bad about him? Because I think I'm getting tired of his crap. We were making, Ah, a lasagna. Okay. We were making a lasagna the other day, and we had it all laid out, and you're getting ready to put it in the oven. Had it all preheated. And the. The noodles. You got a layer of noodles. Layer of meat. Layer cheese. Noodles.

>> Mike: Cheese in there.

>> Darin: Yeah. Well, ricotta. We put ricotta cheese at the bottom and then Swiss and then, provolone and mozzarella on the top. Okay. You have sausage and looks like ricotta.

>> Mike: Cheese in a plastic bag.

>> Darin: I don't know what you're talking about Jerky Boys.

>> Mike: It's a deep cut. Oh, where are my 90s? Where my 90s folks at? Come on. Big old badass Bob the Cattle Rustler.

>> Darin: My favorite Jerky Boys was the guy who had the accordion that sold like something died inside. I'm sitting here trying to put his thing.

>> Mike: We still. Have you heard the one? I'm sorry.

>> Darin: Have you heard this accordion has something dead in it? And the guy at the music store had no idea.

>> Mike: Have you heard the one where the guy calls. He wants to be a magician? He's like, I'm a very good magician. I'm very good. And then somebody dings a bell in the background and he goes, stop that. Stop that. Sorry. We used to do that. Our kids do that. Me and Bess do that just randomly. Somebody in the house will yell out, stop that.

>> Darin: Stop that.


You have to cover your lasagna with aluminum foil. Unless you're a psychopath

>> Mike: We're back.

>> Darin: We're back. Welcome back.

>> Mike: What the hell are we talking about?

>> Darin: We're talking about Chris Michael.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: We're making this lasagna. We have it all laid out in the pan. We're getting ready to put in the oven. You have to cover it with aluminum foil.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Unless you're a psychopath or tin foil.

>> Mike: As they call it in Tennessee.

>> Darin: Aluminium. If you. If you live overseas.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Or Canada. So we go into our pantry, and m. We ain't got no aluminium.

>> Mike: Ah. Go, to Kroger. It's right next door.

>> Darin: Well, we've got the thing preheated and everything's made. And I don't want to drive because if I go into Kroger, I'm going to get, like, other things.

>> Mike: Ice cream.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And then you do a fight because somebody's going to talk to you.

>> Darin: So we called Chris Michael. Okay. I said. I called up. Hey. And usually if I call, something horrible has happened.

>> Mike: He.

>> Darin: Because he's always coming over and helping us do things. Because I can't do a thing. Thing by myself. Not one single thing can I do without Chris Michael's help. Call him up. And I said, do you have any aluminum foil? He says, yeah, actually, I do, if you want to come over. Yes. Okay.

>> Mike: So he was. He was smug about it.

>> Darin: He was a little smug.

>> Mike: No, I've gotten aluminum foil.

>> Darin: And here's the thing.

>> Mike: Get off your high horse, Chris Michael.

>> Darin: I go over there to borrow some aluminum foil. I need one sheet of aluminum foil to cover a casserole dish big enough to put the lasagna in the oven. What, does he come out on the front porch holding this, like, lifetime supply of Aluminum foil that he bought at Costco.

>> Mike: Cost. Yeah, I was about to say Costco.

>> Darin: You could barely lift the son of a.

>> Mike: Show off.

>> Darin: Yeah. Like, hey, look at all the aluminum foil I have. And I'm like, chris, this isn't a contest. Yeah. It's just. And he's like, hey, look at all the aluminum foil.

>> Mike: Oh, yeah, get happy. Yay for your aluminum foil, Chris.

>> Darin: So he's. He just, you know, he hands it over to me. All he had to do is tear off a sheet. No, just tear off a sheet. That's all.

>> Mike: It's not flamboyant enough for him. He. He's a narcissist.

>> Darin: He had to show me how much aluminum foil he had.

>> Mike: Just, you know, it's. I'm ready to punch.

>> Darin: And then I. I go home, and then Libby's like, my God, I've never seen so much aluminum foil.

>> Mike: And he probably heard that, didn't he? Because he's got your house bugged. He's probably over there.

>> Darin: That's coming out of the podcast. That is totally coming out of the podcast.

>> Dave: Please stand by. We're experiencing technical difficulties. Thank you.

>> Mike: So I don't care if anybody else likes this episode. I love this one. I know. You have to make this somehow palatable for other people to enjoy. I'm having a great time. Don't chew it, kids. No, you make your teeth tingle.

>> Darin: So I pulled out a piece of aluminium, put it on the lasagna, and put it back in the oven. And then I. I went over, like, after he had gone to bed and just put it on his front porch because I didn't feel like dealing with him.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: You know, and, then a couple days later, mom asked if I was going to Costco, and I said sure.


Chris says he has more aluminum foil than him at Costco

And we go to Costco. And I went to Costco specifically to buy aluminium.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And now since Chris has given me some of his, and I have a new roll, I have more aluminum foil than him.

>> Mike: You probably have to build an addition to your house, because I got one of those three packs.

>> Darin: He just had to. He just had to show me how much he has. It's not a contest. But I win. Inconceivable. My wife is upset with you.

>> Mike: My wife.

>> Darin: My wife.

>> Mike: I'm sorry.

>> Darin: She's upset with you.

>> Mike: Why?

>> Darin: Because I had a couple days off, and I. On one day, I went to this, vinyl store, in Mason, Ohio. Oh, okay. Name of it, Oh, God. What is the name of it?

>> Mike: Harry's.

>> Darin: Harry's Vinyl Store. Harry's Vinyl store and aluminum.

>> Mike: An aluminum sight.

>> Darin: I don't remember. Okay. I wasn't prepared for that.

>> Mike: I was excited because you told me on the phone and I forgot. I want to go now. It's all.

>> Darin: So I went to this vinyl store and I'm looking around. I bought some used CDs. They're all in excellent condition. I bought, like, four or five CDs.

>> Mike: What'd you get?

>> Darin: And I.

>> Mike: Well, I. I didn't know you weren't taking questions tonight.

>> Darin: I bought. Well, you're not. I bought a Patsy Klein. Oh, you're not gonna care.

>> Mike: I don't care about that one. But what are the other three? No, you didn't.

>> Darin: I did. I did.

>> Mike: I had it. I haven't.

>> Darin: Just call me. Just call me angel of the Morning. I love that song.

>> Mike: We're gonna play that in a minute.

>> Darin: Yes, we are. I'm going through the vinyls and I found, Yeah, a very rare Steve Martin album.

>> Mike: Oh, yeah, with the arrow through the.

>> Darin: No, no, this was. He did a movie called Pennies from Heaven.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: It was not a box office success. It was him and, what's Her Face? His girlfriend at the time. And he. A lot of singing, a lot of dancing. Yeah, Just make as much noise as you want over. That's fine.

>> Mike: There's him and Danny. I've always wanted to work that in somehow. In the holidays.


Chubby Chase: I want to meet Steve Martin. I found a very rare album

Chubby Chase.

>> Darin: I'm over here trying to play this accordion. It smells like something's dead inside. It's the Pennies From Heaven radio special. It's an hour long radio special that they recorded and to promote the movie. And at the bottom of the album, it says, promotional copy, not for sale.

>> Mike: Holy Lord.

>> Darin: I found a very rare.

>> Mike: Yes, you did.

>> Darin: Very rare. And I pulled the album out. I don't think it's ever been played. It doesn't have a single scuff scratch, nothing on it. And the, Cover for it is in pristine shape. Okay. I want to meet Steve Martin. I mean, I've always wanted to meet Steve Martin, but now I really want to meet him. Just I can get him to sign the damn thing. And look what I found. I think.

>> Mike: Awesome.

>> Darin: Yeah, I think he would be impressed.

>> Mike: You should write him. You should send him a note, say, hey, I have this. I'd like you to sign it.

>> Darin: I think I will.

>> Mike: Tell him he's not doing anything anyway.

>> Darin: He's.

>> Mike: Tell him when Marty goes home, he's just, you'll come over and he's working.

>> Darin: More than he ever has. He even made a comment like a year or so ago that he's really looking at the possibility of retiring. And I'm like, don't. Yeah, you're just as entertaining now as you ever were. Yeah, more so. I mean, he's got his new banjo album with, Alice and somebody, and then he season five of Only Murders in the Building is coming out and he and Marty keep going on tour.

>> Mike: I mean, I'm looking forward to retirement. I get to dive into this full time.

>> Darin: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I mean, Steve, if you're like.

>> Mike: A whole 50 bucks a year, it'd be great.

>> Darin: That money's going straight to albums. But, yeah, I want to get him to sign it. If anybody knows Steve Barton, they can hook me up with him. I want to get him to sign this album.


Charmin has come out with the Forever Roll, a giant toilet paper

>> Dave: This episode of Irritable Dad Syndrome contains adult themes and is intended for mature audiences only.

>> Darin: One last thing we're going to talk about. I mentioned this at the beginning of the podcast, Charman. Okay. Charman is a major, distributor of toilet paper. Toilet paper here in the United States and possibly the.

>> Mike: The world. Bathroom tissue.

>> Darin: Bathroom tissue, yes. And this, is borderline ridiculous. Charmin has come out with the Forever Roll, a giant roll that they say would last you a month. And the. I was watching,

>> Mike: I was.

>> Darin: I was watching something on the tv.

>> Mike: That's me. Three days tops.

>> Darin: That's my kids. Yeah, my kids would probably try to flush the whole thing. It's a giant. It's like one of them giant big ass wheels of cheese like you see in Norway or Sweden or wherever they make cheese. I don't.

>> Mike: I don't know.

>> Darin: I didn't study geography in school. The top of the. Thank you. excuse me.

>> Mike: It was involuntary.

>> Darin: The beginning of the commercial says, tired of constantly changing the roll. Look, here's the thing. If you're changing the toilet paper roll so much that it's Exhausting. You need to see your doctor.

>> Mike: Yeah, okay.

>> Darin: Go to your proctologist. Go to an ass doctor.

>> Mike: I mean, I'm the guy with every wipe. I go check it. Wipe, check it, you know?

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: I have to have at least two clean wipes in a row before I'm done.

>> Darin: Okay, this is where it gets disgusting. You don't wipe and then fold it and wipe again.

>> Mike: only. Only if that's the last roll and.

>> Darin: I'm about to fold it. No, you gotta.

>> Mike: I get the big wad. Like I'm wiping my ass with a pillow.

>> Darin: That's why your plumbing is going to explode.

>> Mike: Nope, I flush almost every way anyway.

>> Darin: Charming. Where's the benefit? And I can't even imagine how much a forever roll of toilet paper costs. It probably costs as much as a 12 pack or a, ah, 24 pack or whatever. Yeah, like, if you're so lazy that you can't change a roll of toilet paper, there's something seriously wrong.

>> Mike: If I go into someone's bathroom and they have a forever roll in there, I'm leaving and I'm cutting them out of the contacts. I'm never going to their house again.

>> Darin: I know. And they've got this special offer where if you order now, you can get for free a giant, toilet paper stand to hold this big ass roll of toilet paper. Okay, I might get one now.

>> Mike: It's the toilet paper index of the apocalypse.

>> Darin: And I'll explain that Mike Chisholm missed out next week's episode is gonna.

>> Mike: I mean, we're just gonna sit around and talk about, cards and nuns. I may get a forever role. It is a portent of things to come.

>> Darin: A portent?

>> Mike: A portent.

>> Darin: What does that mean?

>> Mike: look at that. The society is about to collapse. If we're at the point where it's a really cool thing to have a big ass roll of toilet paper. That is not good.

>> Darin: A Charmin forever roll is 34.99 at target. It's ridiculous.

>> Mike: Think I can get one of those? I'm gonna get one. I'm gonna get one and I'm going to review it on the podcast live.

>> Darin: That's the big ass stand that you need to hold it.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: You have to have a separate bathroom.

>> Mike: Yeah, we might have to put that in our garage. We can reach across the.

>> Darin: I just don't see where the benefit is. Like, how hard is it to change out the toilet paper? It's not hard.

>> Mike: Yeah, we have one of those things that holds like four rolls at once.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: we do, too. That's awesome.

>> Darin: Yes. One of my jobs at the house is to walk around periodically put toilet paper in all three of our bathrooms. Funny story is I will actually. I will put toilet paper in our downstairs hall bathroom and then in our bathroom and we have a downstairs bedroom, and then I'll throw a couple rolls up to the top of the steps, and then occasionally, a couple days later, I like to walk up and see if the toilet paper is still in the hallway, which most of the time, it is.

>> Mike: I mean, one of the moments you feel like you've really made it in society is when you've emptied a roll.

>> Darin: Huh? Huh?
