IDS #284 - The Adventures of Crickett and Tabbs

Welcome to Irritable Dad Syndrome, Cincinnati's comedy podcast

>> Mike: I came so close to posting that on our page, but I didn't want anyone to. I didn't want. I all just the look on his face. This is great entertainment. People tuning in to work, just laughing at inside jokes.

>> Darin: Inside jokes are the best, right? Oh, you had to be there. Yeah.

>> Mike: I got a king size bed. I don't know any kings, but if.

>> Darin: One came over, I guess he'd be comfortable.

>> Dave: Welcome to Irritable Dad Syndrome. Committed to ensuring you experience the world in style. Here are 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 284. We don't have any guests. It's just me and Mike shooting the crap. And you are in for a treat because Mike is unprepared. And those are our best episodes.

>> Mike: Yeah. I'm reasonably excited that you're present.

>> Darin: Oh, that's better than normal.

>> Mike: Yeah. I'm going to talk about the Running man, the brand new Running man version by Edgar Wright.

>> Mike: Who also did Shaun of the Dead, another movie I have not seen. I've should.

>> Darin: It was good.

>> Mike: Yeah. Yeah, I've heard it's good. I've wanted to watch it for a while. I just have not. So, we, me and the family went to go see it on the Fridays. And then also I wanted to talk about something else that I watched this weekend, which led me to point where I'm ready to retract a strongly held belief that I've had. I enunciated on this very podcast on Irritable Dad Syndrome, not only in podcast form, but in short clip video form on our YouTubes, on our TikToks and our Instagrams. Uh-huh. About a particular show. I'm, going to retract that statement and apply it to a different show. And I'm going to do so in earnest.

>> Darin: Oh, in earnest. Okay, okay, okay.

>> Mike: Earnestly.


Mike: Something that started at home has come full circle with podcast

>> Darin: Well, I have got to talk about something that happened at Walmart and then something with this podcast. Mike. There's something that Mike always says that I started saying at home that my wife overheard and now my wife is saying it, and my wife said it to your wife. So there's something that you started that has gone full circle. Oh, man. Yeah.

>> Mike: Is it Turlet?

>> Darin: No, it's not Turlet. It's not Tur.

For the first time in 40 years, I do not own a vehicle

>> Dave: Time now for the Walmart story of the week.

>> Darin: Right off the top, I wanted to mention that I went to Walmart. Okay. And I don't like, the Breaking Bad. Walmart. I don't like going to Walmart. But I was in a situation. I borrowed my son's car, by the way, for the first time in almost 40 years, I do not own a vehicle. My Honda CR V, bless his heart.

>> Mike: The.

>> Darin: It got to a point where the engine started eating itself. It's like you check the oil and it's got metal all ground up in it.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And, several of my friends said, yeah, you need to get rid of that. So here's the deal. I work from home. The only place I ever drive is on Tuesday. I come to Mike's house, his other job. And on Sunday, I go to Kroger. I go to the grocery store. So if there's ever a situation where I can't borrow my wife's car, my son's car, or my other son's car, then I guess I'm just not going. Anyway, so I no longer have a vehicle. I sold it. I got rid of it. And, Yeah, what was my point? Oh, my point.

>> Mike: You skateboard. We're doing a drive. for every dollar you send in.

>> Darin: Save Darren's memory.

>> Mike: Darren's. Yeah.

>> Darin: I went out and I got a beer with my buddy Ted, and he was, out. And, went, out with him.

>> Mike: So we threw axes with Ted.

>> Darin: We did. Ted's a good guy. Ted is the guitarist and lead singer of my group, Love Crunch. To which I'm the drummer.

>> Mike: Little known fact, Ted is short for Thomas Theodore. Theodore, who is one of the chipmunks.

>> Darin: That's true. But I digress. I'm out with Ted, and in order for me to go out with Ted, I had to borrow my son's car. And I asked Cameron, is it okay if daddy borrows your car? And he said, sure. So I drove him to work. And then I went out with my friend Ted. I had some wings, and I had to go and pick up Cameron. And Cameron works at Culver's, and Culver's is across from the Walmart. So I had to go into Walmart and get a couple of things, which I did.

>> Mike: What did you have to get from the Walmart?

>> Darin: I had to get some distilled water for my son's, CPAP machine, if you must know. Yeah, I also got a loaf of bread.

>> Mike: I was going to say you. You got the. When you. When I have to go to Walmart, I need socks, tums, or an ointment. You know, you, don't you. That's it.

>> Darin: Cameron also needed deodorant, so if you're happy. Yeah, I got distilled water. Deodorant and bread was the only thing I purchased that did not start with a D. So I'm in line. I'm in, registered eight. Okay? There's one woman in front of me, and whatever the problem is, she cannot ring up, her groceries. And finally the cashier says, well, this register is down. It's no longer accepting credit cards. She says, I'm sorry, my register is down. We can't take your credit card. And so the lady put her stuff away and, with tears in her eyes, she left the Walmart. And then before she was leaving, the cashier looked at me and she says, sir, this register is down unless you're paying with cash. I didn't have enough cash. I'm like, okay. So I go to another register. I'm in this other register, the first person, the person who's in front of me in that line checks out. The cashier who was on register 8, moves over now to my register and starts checking me out. There she. She was checking out my groceries. She wasn't like, hey, you look really nice today. And she told me, she said, quote, I'm very sorry about having to tell you that. And I said, well, I mean, the register was down. Why would you not.

>> Mike: What are you gonna. What else are you gonna do?

>> Darin: And she said. And she. She leans in and she says, the register wasn't down.

>> Mike: Oh, now we're in a conspiracy.

>> Darin: I said, excuse me? And she said, the lady who was in front of you, her credit card was rejected, and I did not want to embarrass her and tell her that her card was. Was not good, that it was rejected.


And so I lied to her. I said, okay. I mean, it only took me an extra, what, five minutes

>> Darin: And so I lied to her. I said, okay. I was like, you know what? I probably would have done the same.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: So I was like, it's fine. I mean, it only took me an extra, what, five minutes to check out of the Walmart. But anyway, so she did that out of the goodness of her heart. And I think for that, she deserves the Walmart employee of the week back. Yeah.


Originally you said Miami Vice was the most 80s TV show

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

>> Mike: I want to retract a previous position that I had. So we got into a discussion.

>> Darin: This is fascinating because rarely do you ever tell me you were, ah, wrong or I was right about something.

>> Mike: Rarely. I'm rarely wrong.

>> Darin: Okay, rarely.

>> Mike: Whatever. I can count on one hand with three fingers missing. Well, that's how many times I've been.

>> Darin: Because you went to Ohio University.

>> Mike: Okay, all right.

>> Darin: The Ohio University.

>> Mike: I had previously stated, and I still strongly feel in this realm that Airwolf was the absolute greatest 80s theme song. Okay, I retract that.

>> Darin: Theme song or TV show?

>> Mike: Theme song. Okay, now, did I say TV show back?

>> Darin: Originally you said it was the most 80s TV show. And I said, boy, I'm gonna have.

>> Mike: To retract both statements.

>> Darin: I said it was a team. I said the A team was better than Airwolf. I take it all back, okay?

>> Mike: Because, I started watching the series again this weekend, okay.

>> Darin: Airwolf.

>> Mike: No.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: This new series. Oh, okay, maybe you've heard of. Has, Philip Michael Thomas.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: And Donald Johnson.

>> Darin: I know what you're talking about.

>> Mike: Miami Vice, dude.

>> Darin: Flamingos.

>> Mike: And then the boobies flopping around.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Oh, you. Yeah, yeah.

>> Darin: Miami Vice, man.

>> Mike: You know that U2 has two songs in Miami Vice.

>> Darin: That sounds right.

>> Mike: Wire and Pride.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: Pride is on in the background when, when Donald Johnson is talking to some lady. He was in a bar.

>> Darin: He played, cricket.

>> Mike: He did, he did. And, Philip Michael Thomas, he was tubby. Played Tabs or Tubby Tabs.

>> Darin: Whatever, whatever. What's he gonna do, sue us?

>> Mike: Yeah, but. And then also, the song Wire from Unforgettable Fire is in a Ferrari car chase.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: I actually never really liked that song that much, but now that I've seen it in a Miami Vice episode, it clicks. I'm Digging.

>> Darin: I'm sure I've heard it, but I.

>> Mike: Can'T tell you right now. We'll play that later on in the. In the show.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: but I tell you what, I've been playing that theme song so much that Bess is walking around singing it.

>> Darin: Yon Hammer.

>> Mike: Yeah, yeah. Yawn. And I posted on my personal Facebook page, they made a video of the theme song. They make it like a little miniature Miami Vice episode where Cricket and Tibs come in and, the.

>> Darin: The guy, they do their thing.

>> Mike: The guy says, we got something, something. And this guy is on. And they pull out. He's on the fritz, just like I'm m watching. And you gotta try to, you know, I don't want to scare you too much. He's like, you got to go take him out. And Crockett, I'm sorry. Cricket looks at Tabs and says something. And Tabs goes, And then it. And then the. And then it shows the photo that they're. They're holding.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And it is a heavily balding Yon Hammer with the most awesome comb over. I'm talking. Oh, I'm talking one of those. A well tended yard. Yeah, yeah. And it's a, cut. But it's like they're chasing him through Miami. So they just took scenes from the show where Cricket and Tabs are running through hallways and stuff. And then it'll have Mr. Jonathan Hammer with a, gun walking down a hallway or ducking behind a stairwell. But the absolute pinnacle of the video is if you've not heard the Miami Vice theme song in a while. After this episode, I implore YouTube go enjoy it. And you'll notice a distinct PR presence of a heavy metal guitar, solo.


Yanwei Hammerstein's guitar solo from Miami Vice is a reference

M. So Mr. Yanway hammer Hammerstein. Begin. You see him pull out a guitar?

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And then the screen goes to another explosion and it comes back and he is rocking that solo with a. With a key tar.

>> Darin: A keyar.

>> Mike: A keyboard.

>> Darin: Yep.

>> Mike: Guitar.

>> Darin: Yep.

>> Mike: How that solo is not played on a keytar. But you wouldn't notice that by looking at Yanwei Hammer. He is going to town on, that gosh darn guitar. He is.

>> Darin: That's where you.

>> Mike: So he is. He is. He's playing it like it owes him a donut.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Right. Cop reference. Miami Vice. He is going so hard.

>> Darin: Still a reference.

>> Mike: It's still a reference. No matter what you think about it. It's a reference. Oh yeah. I. I damn near shed a tear.

>> Darin: So here's. Here is an impression. And if M. Mom, if you're listening, I apologize, but this isn't, an insult to you. I love my mom very much. But back in the day when we would watch Miami Vice on NBC, the credits would come up and. Don't, don't, don't. And the. The. The flamingos and the cars and the. The girls in the bikinis and the sunshine and the coast and. And all of that. And the opening credits would come on. The people would start talking about the deal that they were supposed to make, and then someone would drive away, and.

>> Mike: Phil Collins would walk by the camera.

>> Darin: Yeah. Occasionally, you'd hear a gunshot, and within two minutes, mom would go, I'm lost. Hey, what happened? She had no idea what was going on. Right. And this was before, know, the vcr. You couldn't pause it to explain it to her.

>> Mike: Oh, God.

>> Darin: And you couldn't rewind it to y'.

>> Mike: All. Y', all, Gen Xers or. I'm sorry, Millennials and Gen Wires. You have no idea the fury that was the. You go from zero to divorce, fighting. If. If someone's watching Miami Vice or Dallas or something that requires you to kind of follow a through line.

>> Darin: Falcon Crest.

>> Mike: It's Perfect Strangers.

>> Darin: Do you have a plan?

>> Mike: Well, of course I do. Don't be ridiculous. Yeah. I tell you what, I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding on this one. Three's Company. Because every Three's Company was somebody heard something correctly. Yes. And then it's like, oh, no, he's not really a insert name here.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: He's a insert this. They either thought.

>> Darin: They thought Jack was. Either thought Jack was dying, or they thought Chrissy was, getting married or.

>> Mike: Mr. Furley was turning into a werewolf.

>> Darin: Something that was. That actually did happen as a Halloween episode. Now, you kids need to stop.

>> Mike: Get that silver bullet away from me. I can't do it, Mr. Furley.

>> Darin: It sounded more like Festus on gun smoke.

>> Mike: If I could take this, runaway train a little bit further into the forest.

>> Darin: Sure.

>> Mike: Bess wanted to dress up as Mr. Roper. Mr. And Mrs. Roper for. For Halloween. And we didn't, because we would just be dressing up like a pair of boomers for yourself. And nobody would know who it is. But anyway, I'm coming back to it.


Miami Vice was a show that everyone paid attention to when it started

>> Darin: Okay. And we're back.

>> Mike: We're back.

>> Darin: Now, where were we? Oh, yeah.

>> Mike: Miami Vice was a show. And I. I know this.

>> Darin: It was a show.

>> Mike: It was a show that. When that theme song came on, I don't care what was happening in the house. If you were walking by the tv, you stopped, and everyone paid attention to the theme song. And then, you know, of course your dad's gonna watch it. and then, you know, maybe you would, if you're allowed, if he didn't know you were in the room.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: To watch it. Right.

>> Darin: Everybody was on that show.

>> Mike: Yes.

>> Darin: I mean, Phil Collins, Julia Roberts. Yes. Ed o' Neill from, Marital Children.

>> Mike: Was, Bryan Cranston on it? He seemed to be on, like, everything.

>> Darin: He may have been, but for the. For sake of argument and this podcast.

>> Mike: Let'S just say it was. Yeah.

>> Darin: He directed two episodes, and he stole Cricket's girlfriend.

>> Mike: Yeah. Benicio Del Toro.

>> Darin: Bryan Cranston played the dentist in Miami Vice.

>> Mike: Jimmy Smith.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Mr. M. Mrs. Smith.

>> Darin: It was before Jimmy Smits was in every other show.

>> Mike: Kind of brought every. Elvis the alligator was in the first episode. yeah. And I also take back what I. We have talked about Miami Vice before, and I said it was kind of a silly show when it started it really. I watched the first episode again this weekend. It's pretty gritty. It has some comic relief. Donald has a, alligator named Elvis living on his boat with him. and that's funny a little bit, but other than that, it's pretty,

>> Darin: You know what? I. And I did this at the time, and I still feel bad for him now, but Philip Michael Thomas at the time was just as good on that show as Crockett was.

>> Mike: Oh, yeah. They're both. Yeah.

>> Darin: And I love them both. I'm not. I mean, yeah, Crockett was good. Gorgeous. And everybody loved him. And they loved his sleeves rolled up.

>> Mike: His hair got more feathery as the seasons went on.

>> Darin: Yeah. But he was always tan.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And that pastel, shirt with the white pants and everything. I mean.

>> Mike: Yeah, but.

>> Darin: I mean, looked badass, but Tubby was. I mean, he was dressed to the nines, too.

>> Mike: Yeah. I mean, but he had those piercing gray eyes.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Steely eyes that just stared into your soul.

>> Mike: See, he was one of those actors where it was, like, clear that he was made to be an actor. You know what I mean?

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Like, he was. Same thing with Mr.

>> Mike: Donald Johnson.

>> Darin: Donald Johnson.

>> Mike: You could just look at him. You're like, yeah, you're gonna. Somebody at some point said, you know what? Once you just. Whatever. I don't know what you're doing. You need to drive to Hollywood and just walk in there and demand to know why you're not in something yet.

>> Darin: That's right. And Don Donald Johnson is still a fantastic actor.

>> Mike: And I mean, last time I saw him in something, it was. What, was it the. Was it, oh, Django Unchained Tarantino.

>> Darin: Awesome.

>> Mike: It's awesome. In that movie.


Buford: I'm starting through the series now as the Lord intended

>> Darin: It's the only clan scene I've ever seen where I was laughing uncontrollably.

>> Mike: Oh, my God.

>> Darin: M. My wife spent all day making these masks, and all I hear is, criticize, criticize, criticize.

>> Mike: Buford, it ain't that the masks are bad. It's just. Maybe she should have put the eye holes in a different spot.

>> Darin: Look, we all appreciate her making the masks. Yeah. What if we. What if we take them off right down there and then put them on? Well, that ruins the element of surprise. Anyway, Philip Michael Thomas was just as good on my advice as Donald Johnson. And I remember because, Don Johnson and Cheech Marin had a show on cbs.

>> Mike: Was it Nash.

>> Darin: Nash Bridges. And it was nowhere near the success of Miami Vice. And. And Donald Johnson tried. I mean, he dressed sharp on that show. Nothing like his, character, Rocket. But there was one episode where they brought on Chong and Philip Michael Thomas.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: Those same episode, they had both of them, and it was, like, the coolest thing.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And even though, I mean, Nash Bridges. Well, Nash Bridges was always opposite of Homicide. And so that's why I wouldn't watch it, because I was just deeply hooked on Homicide.

>> Mike: Yeah. But anywho, anyway, I watched the pilot episode, and it took me back. and I ended up buying. I have the series now. I got it from Target. It's on super sale right now. If anybody is interested, you can get the. Into all five seasons on the Blu Rays.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: 50 bucks.

>> Darin: 50.

>> Mike: Dang. Fitty.

>> Darin: Nice.

>> Mike: Yeah. And includes the Lost episodes. I don't know what those are.

>> Darin: I didn't know there were any Lost episodes. Were those the black and white ones where Norton. No, wait. That's the honeymoon. I always get those shoes confused.

>> Mike: I never, like, actively watched Miami Vice. It was just on in the background. But there were a couple of episodes, I remember, and. And one of them, I. And I'm. I'm watching. Like I said, I'm starting through the series now as the Lord intended. Starting with the pilot and going forward.

>> Darin: Yes, you watch the shows in order, But I do remember hop around like some psycho.

>> Mike: There was one episode that he was. Crockett, was by himself. Tabs was visiting his aunt or something.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And, he was like, some more pudding. There was a guy that was in a building that was watching using all the. The video Cameras. And he was doing something, askance. That he shouldn't be doing. Hence Cricket is coming to get him. And Cricket is going through. Cricket's going through the whole building. The guy's watching him on video cameras and setting traps for him. I think MacGyver had probably started around the time that this episode aired because it was very MacGyverish and cricket was doing some MacGyver things. And I remember at the end of the episode, something happened with the guy. He was going to die or something. And Cricket was leaving. Yeah, something happened with the guy. Cricket is leaving. And the last scene, you see Cricket walking away, and the guy said, no, help, help. And Cricket just waves.

>> Darin: Uhhuh.

>> Mike: Yeah. Wow. Yeah, I didn't want to completely re. Dramatize that because I want you guys to watch it.

>> Darin: I like how, you didn't want to completely do it. So you didn't do it.

>> Mike: Your sister's a guy and something happened.

>> Darin: Something happened. And then he drove away. End scene.

>> Mike: It's the one episode I remember.

My son got ordained as a minister at the Universal Life Church

>> Darin: So you mentioned Bryan Cranston. Yeah, Bryan Cranston is one of my all time favorite actors.

>> Mike: Yes.

>> Darin: And I was talking to my oldest son Jacob about Bryan Cranston. We were having lunch together. It was a, one of those rare occasions where Jacob, my guy, he's a senior in college. Okay. And he has a job and he also has a band and he has a social life. He has friends. So he's just like, rarely home.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And this is one of those rare occasions where I'm like, holy crap. And is that a hologram?

>> Mike: Is it?

>> Darin: You know, and, we joke about that a lot. We have a lot of laughs in the Cox household.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: So Jacob is home, we're having lunch together, and started, talking about Bryan Cranston. I can't remember how it came up, but that doesn't matter. It's not part of the story. And I mentioned. I said, did you know that Brian Cranston is, an ordained minister?

>> Mike: Really?

>> Darin: Back in the day, back when he was like in his 20s or something, he needed some extra cash and became an ordained minister in the Universal Life Church. Okay, okay. And he performed like a dozen, weddings and would get like maybe $200 or something to perform the ceremony.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: And I listened to the audiobook of, Bryan Cranston's, biography. And he was talking about, doing this wedding. And it was on a plane, okay, Like a little two seater thing. And he's having to yell at the top of his lungs and to. So they can, you know, repeat their vows and everything. And he was sunburned and had a Hawaiian shirt on and shorts and flip flops and whatever. So he performed the ceremony and he was joking. Like, you know, he says, I can just imagine now some guy watching Breaking Bad going, honey, ah, isn't that the guy that buried us? So, yeah, there are people who, like Bryan, Cranston, actually performed their ceremony. So Jacob and I had a good laugh about that. And, and lunch, was over. Jacob had to go to school and I went to work. About four hours later, I get a text from Jacob with a certificate from the Universal Life Church.

>> Mike: Did he get ordained?

>> Darin: My son got ordained as a minister at the Universal Life Church. And I was like, wait, what? So I texted back. I was like, I'm so proud. He said, yeah, dad. It only took a couple of minutes. Part of me feels like a horrible father, and part of me is like, that's one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

>> Mike: Part of me wants to get ordained at the Universal Life Church.

>> Darin: Yeah, exactly. Well, no, if you and Bess want to renew your vows.

>> Mike: Huh? Or Jacob can.

>> Darin: Can help us with that. Jacob can renew your vows. He is an ordained minister.

>> Mike: Wow.


David Letterman is trying to decide what to wear to Nine Inch Nails

>> Darin: Last week on the podcast, our special guest was Mike Chisholm of the Letterman Podcast. If you haven't listened to the Letterman podcast, after this episode, go to, you can go to the Facebook group and join the Letterman podcast group. Help become part of the community. And the whole entire goal of the Letterman podcast is to keep the broadcasting career, that is from David Letterman. Keep keeping that alive. I've been a guest on his show several times, as has, Mike, and he's been on our show. Anyway, so we got into this long conversation about Nine Inch Nails. Yeah, Mike and I are going to see nine inch nails. Yeah.

>> Mike: 25 centimeter nails.

>> Darin: My question is, look it up. I'm trying to decide what concert T shirt to wear to Nine Inch Nails. Now I can do something silly like where my Garth Brooks and then Mike will not talk to me or be seen.

>> Mike: No, no, no. It's,

>> Darin: I could go, even sillier now. I could wear my Weird Al Yankovic T shirt because Weird Al did a little bit of Closer in one of his Pocah songs, but I'm not going to do that. So I've kind of narrowed it down to, my Devo shirt. I think without Devo, we wouldn't have Nine Inch Nails. I think Devo were an inspiration for the group, for the techno. For the techno ness. I could wear my profits of Rage because they're one of the. They're one of the harder groups that I listen to. Or I could wear my Johnny Cash shirt because Johnny Cash did a cover of Hurt and Trent Reznor says that song is no longer a Nine Inch Nail song. It's a Johnny Cash song. So what do you think, Mike? What shirt are you wearing to the next?

>> Mike: This is my giant. Nice nail shirt.

>> Darin: Learn to swim.

>> Mike: Learn to swim. Yeah, it's a,

>> Darin: I think it's a nine inch snail song.

>> Mike: No, there's. I think there's a lot of crossover between Tool and Nine Inch Nails. It's Tool shirt.

>> Darin: Oh. Oh, that's right.

>> Mike: And it has a. It has a naughty word on it. It has. So it kind of limits where I can wear it.

>> Darin: Can't be wearing that.

>> Mike: Can't wear it to a brisk.

>> Darin: To a brisk.

>> Mike: Is that you mean a bris.

>> Darin: What the hell did you just say that?

>> Mike: Either a brisk.

>> Darin: A brisk describes something. Oh, it feels very brisk out here. It's very penultimate.

>> Mike: I have, You know, it's. As often as I make an idiot of myself, it's. It's. It's rare.

>> Darin: You look up Brisk. At my age, decide if you want to wear that shirt to a Brisk.

>> Mike: At my age, it's rare that I find a new way to make an idiot of myself, because I've done every other way.

>> Darin: I do it all but time.

>> Mike: but anyway, yeah, this is a Tool shirt. and so I figure I'll get some, nods approval.

>> Darin: But what shirt do you think I would.

>> Mike: So, you know, profits of Rage. Johnny Cash or Devo? Devo. Probably the Devo.

>> Darin: Devo, I'm thinking.

>> Mike: Yeah. I think just a Devo action there.

>> Darin: Yeah. Looking forward to the show. I went through the set list and, granted.

>> Mike: Oh, I got a playlist of it in the Spotify.

>> Darin: Yeah, granted, there's a lot of songs I was unfamiliar with. I. I forgot Head like a Hole was them. Yeah, I'VE known Head like a hole for years. Dude, I didn't know it was Nine Inch Nails.

>> Mike: Well, like I told Mr. Chisholm. Chisholm, Chisholm is. Nine Inch Nails is a lot like tool. Like, I didn't realize I was such a tool fan until I was well into a career. They only put on an album every 15 years.

>> Darin: That's right.

>> Mike: So it's like when the Fear Inoculum album came out, I was like, oh, I need to get caught up. Oh, wait, I'm completely caught up. I have all their albums. I'm good. Same thing with Nine Inch Nails. I mean, they have. They're the opposite. I mean, Nine Inch Nails has tons and tons of albums. But I bought Pretty Hate Machine when it came out on tape, because I thought that the graphics looked cool.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: That's the only reason. And then I loved it.


I kind of missed the days of having the cassette tapes

I wore that tape out. I played it like crazy.

>> Darin: I kind of missed the days of having the cassette tapes.

>> Mike: Yeah, yeah.

>> Darin: It's like because, well, my Billy Idol Rebel Yell cassette, the whole front side was, was wore off. I mean, and granted the songs on the B side are really good too, but it's like. And then my Thriller cassette, you couldn't read either side of Thriller. I mean, I played the bejesus out of that.

>> Mike: There was a period of time, a very.

>> Darin: Oh, and the sound quality on cassette.

>> Mike: Yeah, yeah. There was a brief, There was a brief period of time you could use.

>> Darin: The cassette case as a window scraper when it snows.

>> Mike: I had a car that made the most horrible sound that you could have when you're playing a cassette tape, when it goes and you hear a snap and you pull it and all the tape comes out. Yeah.

>> Darin: Use a pencil, to wind the tape back up.

>> Mike: But kids, back in the day, there was a brief period of time when CDs, were out and tapes, Cassette, tapes were still out.

>> Mike: So if you didn't know if you liked a band or not and you're just trying something out, you'd buy the cassette. Oh. But if it was something you knew you liked, you bought the cd. Very brief period there.

>> Darin: You definitely would want to commit before you spent the extra $3.

>> Mike: There was also a place, called the Columbia House. Oh, oh, oh.

>> Darin: You get like 400.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Tapes for a penny.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And then, and then the next one's free.

>> Mike: The next one's free.

>> Darin: First 400 were a penny.

>> Mike: Hey. What?

>> Darin: They were, they were, they were also free, by the way.

>> Mike: Yeah. You're signing up for a 50 year mortgage. When you do it, they don't tell you that. It's like. And then you got people calling. But then what you do is you have one, of your parents scream at them. Like, when they call, don't ever call this.

>> Darin: Exactly.

>> Mike: And then you're free. You're good.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: It's not like they're gonna send the Columbia House guy to your house and kind of get it.

>> Darin: Did you know the Columbia House went out of business? Did they? How?

>> Mike: I can't imagine.

>> Darin: Wow. Did they do that?

>> Mike: Yeah. My question is, what the hell? Did you ever actually buy the. I actually bought. Oh. CDs.

>> Darin: I was in Columbia House.

>> Mike: They were like 3 $35 for a CD, like if. Or 20. It was like 25 to 35 dollars for a CD if you actually bought them at their price. After you get through all the pennies and all that stuff, by the time you're done doing your commitment, you still come out a little bit ahead, but just barely.

>> Darin: I didn't get that far. Yeah, I really didn't.

>> Mike: It was like, get eight for a penny and just buy 10 for over the next four years. Like, yeah, I'm gonna buy 10 CDs. And then you go to the mall. You know, the mall.

>> Darin: Oh, God, how I loved going.

>> Mike: And they have the CDs there for $14. And then you get the Columbia House catalog, the same CD as 24.99. You're like, yeah, that. Yeah, I'm just gonna go to the mall.

>> Darin: yeah, go to, Cat's Records in Johnson City was where I used to buy all my CDs.

>> Mike: Oh.

>> Darin: and Cats Records had this giant box where they would put their promotional posters. They just rolled up. They were free.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And I've got so many. I've got some Billy Idol posters, some KISS posters, some. There's no telling how many posters I got from Katz Records.

>> Mike: Yeah. Yeah. And you college kids out there, that's posters. I mean, pay attention. That's how you. That's how you define yourself.

>> Darin: Do people still buy posters? Because I was in. Yeah. When I was at the Walmart.

>> Mike: Yeah.


You have hundreds of posters still in your basement

>> Darin: Last week I walked by and I thought, when was the last time I looked through all the posters? And I went through. There was like one. A girl in a bikini that was kind of a naughty poster. Yeah. There was. At Walmart, Minecraft poster.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: There was a couple of, marble, not marble, Marvel posters. And then I can't remember what else is on there. But posters were cool. I got I've got. I have hundreds of posters still in my basement rolled up in a. In a giant.

>> Mike: I gotta read Stumpsting. Stump Woodley is an admissions goof. At one point, I had four P.O. boxes in college. I made very good use of Columbia House during that period. Dude, that is the most amazing. You're like the Scarface of Columbia House.

>> Darin: That is a scam.

>> Mike: That's awesome.

>> Darin: That is awesome.


There's something that Mike says that my wife now says to me

>> Dave: Time now for the Weird Al Yankovic song segment of the week.

>> Mike: Help me get away from myself.

>> Darin: I wanna you like an animal.

>> Dave: This has been the Weird Al Yankovic song segment of the week.

>> Darin: The beginning of the show, I mentioned that there's something that Mike says that I started saying that my wife now says, and my wife repeated it to your wife? Best.

>> Mike: At their little book club.

>> Darin: Their. Their quote. Book club.

>> Mike: Yeah. I, know when a book club meeting is coming up, because Best will close, lock herself in the bedroom m. And read for, like, three days straight. I gotta get caught up. Here's a fun fact.

>> Darin: Forbid somebody find that you're not reading the book.

>> Mike: Well, here's a fun fact. She probably doesn't want me to say this, but I'm gonna say it. She, was not that into this latest book.

>> Darin: Oh.

>> Mike: And she's the one that picked it. And she felt horrible. She's like, it's just not that good. Yeah, but I have to read it now.

>> Darin: I haven't heard what Libby thinks of said book, but I will ask anyway. So Mike was telling me that he has a habit of, Like, if Bess says, we need to go to the store. Michael, go. We need to go to the store.

>> Mike: D. Which.

>> Darin: Which really aggravates Bess. She's like, can you.

>> Mike: Pisses her right off.

>> Darin: Stop. Would you stop, Der.

>> Mike: So I got the kids doing it now.

>> Darin: Yeah. Last Tuesday, I'm driving home after recording this podcast, and I'm just talking to myself. Talking to myself. And I walk in the house, and I'm laughing, and Libby's like, did you have fun at Mike's? And I said, did you have fun at Mike's, Der? To which she's like, what are you doing?

>> Mike: She's not gonna let you come over here anymore.

>> Darin: She's, what are you. What are you doing? And I explained to her, how Mike talks to Bess. And then I started doing it to Libby. And now Libby will be at home, and Jacob comes downstairs, says, mom, do we have any more pancakes? Do we have more pancakes? So. So before the girls went and had their book Club. Book club.

>> Mike: Der.

>> Darin: I told Libby I said, ask best to say anything and then repeat that. And I can't wait to hear the response.

>> Darin: And so Libby did. She says, bess, I need you to say something. She says, what do you want me to say? What do you want me to say, Derb?

>> Mike: How'd that go over?

>> Darin: Bess said, quote, I can't stand when he does that. To which Libby says, I can't stand when he does that. Well, so, okay, so you.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Rubbed off on me.

>> Mike: Hello. Yep.

>> Darin: I rubbed it off onto Libby, and now she's trying to rub it off on. Back onto Bess.

>> Mike: Here's the deal. Here's where I don't.

>> Darin: Here's why.

>> Mike: I don't feel bad about that, because Bess stole the. Just put it anywhere. Just put that anywhere. She started to use that on me.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: So I needed a thing. I needed a new thing.

>> Darin: Nerve.

>> Mike: Just be like, are you going to do the dishes? But, yeah, Charlie started to do it. She'll tell. She'll tell Charlie, you know, put your dishes. And it's just. It's not good. It's not a good thing that we've taught them. But. Well, it's too late to put the genie back in the bottle at this point.

>> Darin: I also. Cameron dropped something. I said, oh, just put that anywhere. And now he does that to me. I was poured cereal and got some honey nut Cheers on the floor. Oh, dad, why don't you just put those anywhere? Won't you put those anywhere, D. And that's what we're going to do at the home.


You've made me more of an idiot, uh,

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: When we're. We're in the same home. Mr. Cox, have you had your medicine? Have you had your medicine?

>> Mike: I'm going to be in line for the pudding, and Gladus is going to say, you wait your turn. Wait your turn. I think Gladys is going to be shocked. She's going to drop her pudding. Just put that anywhere. Gladys. It's going to be great.

>> Darin: I hope you're happy.

>> Mike: I am. I am.

>> Darin: Not only have you made me more of an idiot, but you've also got my wife acting like you.

>> Mike: Oh, that gave me a headache. I have a headache now.


This one follows the book almost exactly has my. The original one didn't follow the book

I gotta talk about the. The man who runs the Running Man.

>> Darin: Oh, the Running Man.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: How was it?

>> Mike: It was good. I best. So here's the. When we're driving away, from the movie. From the movie.

>> Darin: Okay. Not from the house. From the movie.

>> Mike: Yeah. Andrew was very succinct. Are you all right? You got earth headache? Andrea, Said, that was a good movie. I said, yeah, I think it was. He's like, that was a really good movie.

>> Darin: Uhhuh. Uh-huh.

>> Mike: And then Beth said, it's okay. And then Charlie said, that was the best movie I've ever seen in my life.

>> Darin: Wow.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: He's 12.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: And yes, we took him to see the Running Man.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: But it was, Was it rated R? Yeah.

>> Darin: Oh, okay.

>> Mike: But my dad took me to see RoboCop when I was like 11 or 12.

>> Darin: How did you turn out like this?

>> Mike: But, so the, the fancy thing about this one, this is a Glenn Powell joint.

>> Mike: He played Hollywood in Hotgun, Maverick and he was some other crap.

>> Darin: I loved his opening monologue on snl.

>> Mike: Oh, with the UPS driver. Yeah.

>> Darin: Because he was supposed to be on the show like four years ago and Lauren Michaels is. Without Maverick, you're nothing or something.

>> Mike: Whatever. But yeah, he, he's, he's really good in it. the whole, the whole thing with this one is that it follows the book. The original one didn't follow the book. It basically the only thing that had in common with the book was there was a game show and a guy named Killian and it was called the Running man. And that's pretty much it. Yeah, this one follows it. I'm not going to spoil anything.

>> Darin: And that won't be the first time that someone has took a, Stephen King movie and adapted it poorly.

>> Mike: Yeah, yeah, it seemed like in the 80s, everything that they adapted by him was just terrible or really, really good, but didn't have much to do with the actual book. Like the Shining is a perfect example.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: but no, this one. Yeah, it follows the book almost exactly has my. You know, I'm not a big Michael Cera fan and it's not that I'm an anti Michael Cera. I like, I just don't see him in many things. Yeah, he had one of the best parts in this movie. It's worth going to the movie for the Michael Cera scene alone. Yeah, it's absolutely hilarious.

>> Darin: I'll check it out.

>> Mike: but yeah, it's good movie. It's, it's a little different. Like I said, it's the. Edgar Wright is the guy that did Shaun of the Dead. it goes a little goofy in some places, and then gets really hardcore, you know, violent in others. It's like the, the RoboCop violence or Starship Troopers, you know, where it's like over the top, gory for comedic effect. Okay, Gotcha So yeah, these are, there's.

>> Darin: Like with blood splatter.

>> Mike: Yeah. It'll show promos for every once in a while it'll show like a commercial comes in. Kind of like you remember robocop did the. I'd buy that for a dollar. It has those kind of things throughout the movie, but they're, you know, they're glamorizing this show where people get killed and it just has them being like slaughtered in creative ways and you're meant to chuckle but also be horrified. So I think it does pretty well. I like the ending. The ending is not the same as the book, although it does do a strong nod, towards the book ending. but I think, I think they did a really good job with it and you should go check it out.


After this podcast, make some homemade fudge

>> Dave: This portion of our show is brought to you by Fudge. Hi, I'm Dave Lay and I love fudge. I'm not talking about that store bought crap. I mean, honest to God, homemade fudge. You know, if you start to say it over and over, it starts to sound like it's not even a real word. Fudge, fudge, fudge.

>> Mike: Haha.

>> Dave: Uh-huh. Anywho, where was I? After this podcast, hop on over to the stove and make a batch of delicious fudge. You'll thank me when colder weather rolls in. Now back to the show. Hey honey, where's all the stuff? I need to make some fudge.


Mike Brown got frustrated with his wife over a bad raking accident

>> Darin: All right, Mike, I'm going to tell you something that happened over the weekend. I got a little bit frustrated with my wife. I'm going to explain exactly what happened and I want to know from you, okay, if you think I should have gotten frustrated or not.

>> Mike: Oh, Jesus.

>> Darin: Your opinion is what I value most in this world.

>> Mike: Okay?

>> Darin: We are raking leaves, Cameron is raking, and I've got the leaf in eight or three thousand strapped over my shoulder. And I'm mulching them up and I'm putting them into bags and Libby comes out to help. And I keep telling Libby she doesn't need to help Cameron. I got that. She says, but I want to help. You guys are out here doing this all by yourself. I want to help. I'm like, but it's going to hurt your, your arthritis. She goes, I will stop when I, start feeling bad.

>> Mike: Well, I've heard that before.

>> Darin: It's like, okay, so she comes out. I don't know what she's. I don't either. Yeah, she's raking and raking and she's she's helping us out. And she's talking. We're all having a pretty good time. Rakingly, she goes in the house, and then she comes back and she is wearing my Letterman hat. Okay. I have two David Letterman hats.

>> Mike: Nope.

>> Darin: This one that I'm wearing right here is. This, is an audio podcast, but if you're a patron, you can see which one I'm talking about. It is gray. Okay? It is gray. It is a faded gray hat. This hat used to be a very vibrant, a very bright navy blue. Okay. It used to be a bright blue hat. Okay. And I'm wearing that blue hat, and I'm out one day, and, I get a little sweaty. And it left a sweat ring all around the rim of the hat, all around the seam and then onto the bill of the hat. And I essentially ruined my good Letterman hat because no matter how many times you try to wash one of those.

>> Mike: Things, it just doesn't.

>> Darin: The sweat.

>> Mike: It just. It's. It's. Yeah, yeah.

>> Darin: It won't come out. It just won't come out. So what did I do? I bought a new one. Exactly. Okay. So I have my new. It's. It's practically new blue letterman hat that I only wear inside, on formal occasions. Formal occasions like weddings and a bris.

>> Mike: That's a callback. That's a callback is what they call that.

>> Darin: Oh, a funeral.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: That's where I'm wearing my inside, blue David Letterman late Show hat.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Okay. This one here, I mean, I wear this to the pool, to the beach. I wear it when I cut the grass. I wear it when I dig ditches, when I clean the turret.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: I don't care. Anything. This one, the dingier it gets, the.

>> Mike: Better the damage has been done.

>> Darin: This is my old school. I can do whatever the hell I want to. This hat. But the blue one.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And I said, honey, honey, sweetie, pumpkin, dearest love of my life, please don't wear my hat outside.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And she goes, what's the problem? Said, you're going to get the hat sweaty. No, I'm not. I'm not going to get the hat sweaty. I said, can you just. Can. Can you please just take the hat off? And she finally takes the head off and she says, cameron, will you get me another hat? And Cameron wouldn't go there. And then it was awkward or whatever, and boy, am I gonna hear about it when Libby hears this portion of the podcast.


You bought a whole new hat because you yourself utilize the hat

>> Mike: Anyway, do you want my opinion?

>> Darin: Do, I. Yes, I do. Was I.

>> Mike: My first thing that came to mind? Was. How dare you? How dare you take. But she knows what this hat means to you. You bought a whole. Excuse me, you bought a whole new hat because you yourself utilize the hat that is on your head now to the point where it has a sweat, nasty, disgusting sweat ring.

>> Darin: This thing has survived Covid. The plague.

>> Mike: The. And you want to have a nice one for formal occasions, a flu. So she goes and she takes that hat as though it's hers, places it atop her dome, and decides to come out and try to do manual labor. Yeah, that's grounds right there.

>> Darin: That's.

>> Mike: I mean, you. You're. You are.

>> Darin: Should I file papers?

>> Mike: I. I don't know that.

>> Darin: Should I seek representation?

>> Mike: I think you should seek representation and get the, get. Get some opinions here. I have a similar story. Can I tell my similar story? This may shed some light on your situation.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: so was this about the coffee mug?

>> Mike: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We. We know the coffee mug is well established. It's in there. It's in my will and testament. you know, I like the U2s.

>> Darin: I do.

>> Mike: Yeah. Yeah, so. And I always buy a program. Now these days you can order the program online so you don't have to, like, carry it with you and get it all sweaty and nasty or drop it in a puddle of beer or whatever.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: So sometimes I do that. But when I have to, I will buy it at the place we went to go see the Elevation tour. You know, the Elevation tour for. For the, all that you can't leave behind. Beautiful day, which was their best album. The triumphant return. Excuse me, of. Of the U2s.

>> Darin: My podcast too.

>> Mike: It is.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And I bought a, program. Now in the midst of this program, there were some sticker pages.

>> Darin: Oh, okay. Why are they stickers? Who's gonna sticker them? Yeah, not a, single person.

>> Mike: No, no, no, no.

>> Darin: God, please, no, no, no.

>> Mike: So no, we get home from the show now. We're not married yet.

>> Darin: Oh, okay, okay, okay.

>> Mike: But it's on the horizon. And she asked, can I take one of the stickers from inside that program? And she. That's as she got. What did you say before? I must. It must have been the look in my eye when I turned towards her, because she stopped and said, what?

>> Darin: she's.

>> Mike: What? Are you going to use all the stickers? And I said, I'm going to use exactly none of these stickers. Are you out of your mind to find use? Yeah, this particular show we Went to Philadelphia for. I was like, I went to Philadelphia for these stickers. I can't. What could I possibly put these on?

>> Darin: Right?

>> Mike: No. What do you want to put a sticker on? She says, my car. It's like, this is not for your car. These are not car stickers.

>> Darin: Cars aren't forever.

>> Mike: And she got angry. Oh, yeah. And I felt bad, but I still didn't let her use a sticker. Now, that was in 2000. 2001, fast forward, literally 20 years later, I said, you remember when you asked me if you could use a sticker? And we, we joke about it now.


There are articles of clothing in this household that are off limits to everyone

We're like, yeah, yeah. It's like, yeah, I wouldn't. You wouldn't let me use a sticker from the thing. I was like, yeah.

>> Darin: Kind of want.

>> Mike: To use a sticker from the thing.

>> Darin: You do? Yeah. Okay. Okay.

>> Mike: And I did. What, did you, use for the people watching on the, the thing? The Jimmer Jammer M. There's one right there to elevation.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: Right there on the old irritable dad syndrome laptop.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Now, she said that that didn't bother her when I put that on there.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: But I still feel bad about it.

>> Darin: So how many stickers do you have?

>> Mike: There's like 20 of them in there. It's.

>> Darin: It's some.

>> Mike: It's somewhere over there on the shelf.

>> Darin: Okay. Okay.

>> Mike: But they don't stick very well because that one, it, keeps coming off.

>> Darin: I would not put one on a car because you have a car.

>> Mike: It's going to get dirty out there.

>> Darin: Four or five years.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And then you get rid of the car. I mean, that you can keep a laptop for rest your life.

>> Mike: Now, in my defense, buried with that sticker. In my defense, I started buying stickers when we went different places. When we went to our vacation out west, I bought stickers of different places we went. They're all on this laptop along with tool. So this is my. This is how I say, this is my, irritable dad syndrome laptop. However, that story had not much to do with your story. The point is, I see exactly what you're talking about. There are articles of clothing in this household that are off limits to everyone. We talk about Mike's concert T shirts. I wash them differently, with different detergent, in a different manner. I hang, dry them in a different state. Yeah, they, Most of them look the same as they did when I bought them because I care for them so deeply. Every once in a while, one will find its way into the regular wash just about a Month ago, my Faith no More shirt found it into the regular wash, and now I can't wear it until I lose about £50 because it really. Yeah.

>> Darin: What did they wash it on?

>> Mike: Hot? Yeah. just normal. Normal wash cycles. Okay, well, because I wash them, I wash them on cold and then I hang dry them.

>> Darin: Okay. As I say, I throw my T shirts in the dryer.

>> Mike: It depends on the shirt. My Profits of Raid shirt can't kill it. I wash it. It goes. It's in the normal wash and it's still the same size it always was.

>> Darin: That's my Pearl Jam T shirt.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: it's. Yeah.

>> Mike: But I've got a few. Every single one of my YouTube shirts, I can tell just by looking at them. If they ever hit the regular wash, I mean, we won't be able to put it on. Booba.

>> Darin: I'm so disappointed because I bought a Joshua Tree tour at the YouTube shirt.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: It doesn't fit me. Yeah, it didn't fit me when I brought it home. I know I should have tried it on there.

>> Mike: I got an X tree large and I can't. I can't. I can't wear it. I gotta lose about £50 for that one.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: But when I lose my £50, I gotta. I got two shirts I can wear out.

>> Darin: I'm doing it. We're gonna go. We hope you go to irritablegascenter.com. we hope you tell your friends about it. We hope you like and share our videos. If you subscribe, then that will help us out. If you go and leave us a, review that would increase our algorithm.

>> Mike: Or comment on it. I mean, we got. We got people out there commenting that have no idea what the hell they're talking about. At least you get in there and say something.

>> Darin: Honestly. Yeah. If you see one of our videos, comment, we'll comment back to you.

>> Mike: Yeah, I don't. I don't mind.

>> Darin: You don't mind? Hootie? That's, Derp. So proud of it.

>> Mike: Wow.

>> Darin: I thought it was hilarious.

>> Mike: This is too good for to keep from the masses.

>> Darin: Yeah, the masses. Nobody's saying they don't appreciate what Jenny did. Well, if all I had to do was cut a hole in a bag, I could have cut it better than this. What about you, Robert?

>> Mike: Can you see? Not too good. I mean, if I don't move my head, I can still. I see you pretty good, more or less.

>> Darin: But when I start riding, the bag's moving all over and I'm riding blind. I just made mine worse.

>> Mike: Anybody bring any extra bags?

>> Darin: No, nobody brought an extra bag.

>> Mike: I'm just asking.
