She's getting paid to listen to our

>> Mike: podcast since some of that scratch our way. Also, I got a very good review of our first three episodes.

>> Darin: Oh.

>> Mike: From, like, from, ah, Bass.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: But it was. It was an interesting review. It wasn't. because I noticed we got a download for episode one.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: And then another one for two. I was like, oh, somebody new is making it through a catalog. Usually, Usually when you see that happen, they get to episode seven and they stop because I think the podcast ended.

>> Darin: The benefits.

>> Mike: Yeah, it's one of the. At least the top three. So I'm gonna stop poo pooing the first 150 episodes like I have in the past and tell people to go back.

>> Darin: I've been poo pooing like the first 10 or 12 or something. But I've went back and granted this is a biased opinion, but I think we told funny stories. The quality of those first 10, that's my problem with the first 10 episodes is that the quality isn't great. We only had one microphone, but the heart of the podcast is there. And, boy, howdy, did we still give it all.

>> Mike: So we talk about all kinds of different things on our show.

>> Darin: A variety.

>> Mike: A variety.

>> Darin: We are a buffet of conversation.

>> Mike: And I am responsible for the video portion and I collect snippets and put them out there into the void, the ether to bring people to the full episodes. Fun fact. sometimes they do come and listen to the full episodes. and some of the things that hit really well with us are our talks about music, movies.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And then when people like it, when we get into fights with each other about pancakes. Right.

There is a movie on Netflix called Becky. Do you remember that you enjoyed it

>> Darin: Do you remember a few weeks ago when I was talking about Kevin James and the movie Solo Mio?

>> Mike: Yes.

>> Darin: And how it's like the greatest movie that he has made and that it was just delightful from start to finish and I couldn't get enough of it and I absolutely loved it and he was amazing in it and it was just fantastic. Do you remember that you enjoyed it? I really, really enjoyed it. Well, Kevin James, turns out, made a movie previously that completely balances that movie out. There is a movie on, Netflix called Becky.

>> Mike: Okay?

>> Darin: And I'm telling you right now, Becky is so bad, the movie is so bad that we were laughing out loud at how bad the movie was. So Becky is like a 13 year old girl and, her mother has passed away and I'm gonna spoil the entire movie for you. But you still need to watch it because no matter how much I say this movie sucks, you're going to be like, I can't possibly suck that much. And you're gonna watch it and you're gonna be like, darren was right. Yeah. So Becky's, mother passed away and she's living with her father, who her father's dating a new woman who Becky does not like. And the father brings her to their cabin. They have this cabin out in the woods. And he says, Becky, Tina, whatever the girl's name is that he's involved with. She and I are getting married, and Becky gets pissed, and she runs out of the house and, like, Becky come back. Becky. Yeah, Becky. Yeah. So Becky's run off into the woods. While Becky is out of the house, Kevin James and three other prisoners have escaped from the big house. Okay? They were. They were on the bus. They killed a guy, and somehow they killed the guards, and they.

>> Mike: Kevin James, Rob schneider and Norm MacDonald.

>> Darin: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. The normal group of, like, Adam Sandler, Kevin James buddies were not in. Okay. All right, so it's, I. The only people I recognized in the movie were Kevin James, and he's a. Oh, by the way, he's a Nazi. He's got a swastika tattooed on the back of his head.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: He is a Nazi. And he is, doing something for the good of the brotherhood.

>> Mike: Okay?

>> Darin: So they bust out of prison.

>> Mike: But there's that.

>> Darin: There's that, right? Kevin James is a Nazi. Huh?

>> Darin: Huh?

>> Darin: Yeah. They get to the cabin.

>> Mike: That'll sell lunchboxes.

>> Darin: Yes. And they get into the house, saying. Claiming that they lost their dog or something.

>> Mike: And.

>> Darin: And, then they hold the family hostage, and they're trying to find a key that's inside the house. This old key that's inside the house. Now Becky figures out that, oh, no, these people, these bad guys have busted into the house. I've got to do something. So she calls, like, on a walkie talkie, and she's like, I've already called the cops, and they're on their way, and you better get out. And they're like, there's no way cops gonna come. There's no place for her to call for, like, miles and miles and miles, and they don't believe her. I,

>> Mike: I.

>> Darin: Long, story short, Becky ends up. She kills one guy. She stabs him in the neck with a ruler.

>> Mike: Whoa.

>> Darin: Yeah, she stabs him in the neck with a broken ruler. And then she repeatedly steps on the side of his neck until blood is literally gushing everywhere. Right. She.

>> Mike: So this is not a comic.

>> Darin: No, no, no.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: With this key, she jabs Kevin James in the eye and. And takes out his eye. Right? Okay, so his eye is, like, hanging out, and he's trying to cut the rest of it off with scissors. And then eventually just hacks it with. With the steak knife. And Libby and my mom and I are, like, in disbelief because this is a Kevin James movie. Now, in fairness, when I was going through Netflix and looking at the thing I saw that Becky like, oh, it stars Kevin James. Looks like it's a drama.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Okay. And I thought, and we even watched the trailer and we could tell that he is the bad guy and that they busted into the house and that they, are holding these people hostage. Uh-huh. And we like. Okay. And in fairness, me, my mom and Libby all thought it looks pretty good, right? It wasn't. No, it absolutely wasn't. Becky goes off on this killing rampage, a 13 year old girl. And just there's one guy chasing her. One of, one of the other escapees. He's chasing her and she runs out onto the dock and gets in the boat and he's trying to, jump and he gets into the boat and she kicks him. He falls into the water.


Darren: It is such a bad movie. So, so bad. It was just, it was horrible

Guess what? He can't swim.

>> Mike: Of course. Yeah.

>> Darin: He's standing in four feet of water, drowning.

>> Mike: All right.

>> Darin: I won't tell you how she kills him. I won't tell you how she kills the other person. What bothered us the most? And this is the spoiler of all spoilers. We never find out why they needed the key or why the key was in that house. So it ended and we're all like, hey, what happened?

>> Mike: So the lore.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Was lacking.

>> Darin: It was just, it was horrible.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: But Honestly, watching this 13 year old girl going just completely mental on these guys, I will. So, so bad. It was so bad. And at one point her dad said, run, run to the neighbor's house and call the police from there. What does Becky do? She does. I mean, she gets in the woods and she runs and runs and runs and. And then she finds a place to sit and reflect. And she's sitting on top of this rock that overlooks like a, like a valley, like a river or something. And she's just sitting there. Yeah, just like, like, God, I wish my mom was here and I wish dad wasn't marrying that girl and whatever. And then the bad guys find her because she's just sitting there.

>> Mike: That would drive me nuts. That's one of the things. It's one of the reasons I can't stand musicals. It's tone death. She's being chased and she decides to sit and reflect.

>> Darin: She's just like sitting there reflecting.

>> Mike: A, musical will have two people getting ready to kill each other and then they just break into song.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: I'm like, come on. I saw an excellent,

>> Darin: Before we go off track, okay. The father's girlfriend has a son, a little boy. He's like 5 years old. I think his name is Taylor. Okay.

>> Mike: Tay.

>> Darin: Tay.

>> Mike: Tay.

>> Darin: And the bad guys break into the house, and they're holding everybody hostage. They've shot the woman in the leg. Okay. So she's sitting there hoping she doesn't bleed out. And Tay is just sitting there next to her. And four or five times in the movie, she leans over. It's gonna be okay, honey. Tay's not phased at all. He's just sitting there staring aimlessly.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: He's not shaking. He's not scared. He's not crying. He's literally just sitting there. It is such a bad movie. I haven't given a movie on this podcast. Such a horrible review since the Banshees of Inisherin. Okay. And that episode, he likes to keep the goat in the house. Yeah, yeah, no, he likes to keep the donkey in the house is the name of that episode.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: This movie, honest to God, so bad it. We were laughing hysterically.

>> Mike: So now I feel like I need to check it out, because I get to. I get to do my favorite thing, which is like, you'll love it, love it, and then come back and just lord that over you. Well, you didn't like it, Darren, because you didn't understand that Becky is a. Is symbolic of the church in the 19th century. Have you heard of Louis Thoreau?

>> Darin: I think so.

>> Mike: Yeah. He put out a new documentary. It's on Netflix. So I never watch Netflix. Bess and the kids. Everybody's all over Netflix. Like, once every three months, you'll. I'll come down here and you hear. You know, it's like. And Mike's watching something on Netflix, and usually I just watch something I've seen a thousand times in a row.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: I watched the Irishman was the last thing I watched on it before this.

>> Darin: I still haven't seen that.

>> Mike: I've seen it three times now.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: And it's. It's very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very long. But it is good. It is.


You have to watch it at least twice to appreciate the film

It's excellent. But you got to really like Martin Scorsese.

>> Darin: There was a guy on the. On X on Twitter who said, I won't watch the Irishman. It's too long. But I'll binge watch eight episodes of the Sopranos.

>> Mike: So the first time watching it, you're. You have to watch it at least twice, because the first time you're watching it, the whole time, you'll be like, that's not Robert De Niro. Is that Robert De Niro? Wait, is that. Is that Al Pacino?

>> Darin: I hear how they de age that.

>> Mike: It's weird.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: It's, it's very like you forget. Even though you're watching Robert De Niro on screen, you forget what he looks like. And the same thing happens with Joe Pesci. Al Pacino looks like Al Pacino, right? But he talks, he's got an accent. He plays Jimmy Hoffa in the movie.

>> Darin: Okay?

>> Mike: He's got that accent. And the whole time you're like, that's not De Niro speak. I see diner. Or that's not Al Pacino. I see him, but I don't hear him coming out of his mouth.

>> Darin: Well, I heard that he had done a scene like 10, 12 times or something and was under the impression that he got it because he, he liked it. But then Mr. Scorsese said you didn't do it like a 30 year old.

>> Mike: So the reason, the reason I'm telling you that is because the first time you watch it, you're going to miss the movie.

>> Darin: Okay?

>> Mike: You're going to be thinking about that stuff so, so much. You're not going to know what's happening. Plus you're gonna have to watch it over the span of about three weeks to get through it. You'll, you'll forget everything.

>> Darin: Right?

>> Mike: The second time you watch it, you'll get the general gist. The third time, that's when it becomes a masterpiece.


Louis Theroux just released his first documentary in a long time

But anyway, Louis Theroux, he just released the first documentary that he's done in a long time. And I don't know what's been happening to him in his personal life. I don't know if he was. Got some kind of diagnosis. And when I say I don't know, I'm literally don't know. But he looks like he's been through something, right?

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: But you know, he looks fine and everything. He just looks like he's been through something. But it's, it's called the Manosphere. Have you heard of the Manosphere?

>> Darin: I have not.

>> Mike: so that's like the toxic masculinity thing, the bro. we're gonna, you know. Yeah, the. Well, yeah, it's, we're gonna do, we're gonna make all the money, we're gonna do all the stuff.

>> Darin: so, so they're gonna make all the money.

>> Mike: Make all the money and do all this stuff.

>> Darin: Okay, got it. It.

>> Mike: He follows like three or four of them. I'm tuned into him because I see, I see them like pop up around the Internet and I follow a few creators that, you know, make fun of them or say, hey, look at what this guy's doing now. So I'm actually familiar with some of them.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: Andrew Tate's one of them. But he doesn't follow Andrew Tate around on this thing. But he basically, if you've seen a Louis Theroux documentary, he literally all he does is go hang out with people. But he's got a reputation for destroying people's reputation. He's got a knack for that. But really all he's doing is hanging out with them and asking them questions.

>> Mike: You could, let's just say Darren's a person, okay.

>> Darin: And I know people who think that,

>> Mike: you know, you are, everyone knows you are. If Louis Theroux came and hung out with you in your house and you answered him honestly, there is a chance, a really good chance, that people come away from that saying, you know, Darren's a pretty good dude.

>> Mike: If you answer the questions properly. These people get so defensive and so upset with them, they end up being anuses in spite of themselves. So. And they're not good. They're not good. The people that he's, the people he's covering in this documentary, I just spoiler. They're not good people, okay? They're terrible people. He talks with them. One day he'll talk. He's got like four or five influencers that he follows around the first day meeting them. He's very cordoned off from sections of their house. Only certain people can be talked to. We're going to talk on this street, on this corner, in front of this store and we're going to talk for 15 minutes. He's like, okay, all right. And he just asked the questions and goes on and they start to let their guard down. So then the next time he meets with them, okay, I guess I'll let you meet my girlfriend. So then he goes all in. He's like, do you approve of him referring to you as the help? Do you approve of him, in the middle of everything, just telling you to go get him a cup of coffee and that's your job. And, and all this. And then you can hear the woman say, yeah, that's fine. But you can tell that she doesn't think it's fine. And Louis says, you don't. It doesn't seem like you think it's fine. And then the guy gets visibly upset. So that happens in all three of these, all four of them. By the end of it, three of the four influencers just completely crash out and show themselves and they just destroy themselves and in front of him. And now in Front of. However many people have watched this thing on Netflix, I'm talking. Talking millions. I'm not doing a very good job explaining this.

>> Darin: The point is, the point.

>> Mike: It's a good show. You should watch it.

>> Darin: Okay. That's the M point.

>> Mike: So my point is, I love the way that he interviews these people because he's done episodes before where he followed around, white supremacists, and he tries to be as pleasant, fair and fair as he can be. They just bury themselves. My favorite one that he's ever done, it's the only documentary I've watched more than five times is he did one where he followed people around Vegas and he just watched, you know, a couple of them lose everything. They're all happy and excited, and they're going to win everything, and they're going to show him exactly how it's done. And by the end of the episode, one of them is actually losing their house. Yeah, it's. It's heartbreaking and crazy, but it's. It's interesting because all he's doing is just watching them and talking to them.

>> Mike: And I, I enjoy it.


Speaking of documentaries, I was watching the Oscars on Sunday

>> Darin: Speaking of documentaries, I was watching the Oscars on Sunday, and I know you don't watch the Oscars, but I was watching the Oscars and, the category of best documentary feature came up. And I never. Not since. Lord, I think not since Hoop Dreams has a documentary. And I think Hoop Dreams was nominated for best documentary feature. A documentary came up.

>> Mike: A baseball documentary.

>> Darin: Close. Basketball.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: So one of the five documentaries nominated Libby and I watched, it was the. The. I think it's called the Perfect Neighbor or something. And the documentary was all footage off of a body cam footage from police officers responding to this woman who kept complaining about the kids in her neighborhood being too loud, playing, basketball and whatever.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And she called on them over and over and over and over, just dozens of times. And it was all body cam footage. And, and then, things, got sour. Really. Things went really, really bad.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: But I was like, hey, we. We've watched one of the documentaries.

>> Mike: That's awesome.

>> Darin: For the first time in I don't know how long.


People again are complaining about the Oscars being too long

But I was going to talk about the Oscars. People again are complaining about the Oscars were too long. And if you don't blame Conan. Don't blame Conan. Don't blame Conan. Conan did a good job this year. Conan was very funny. I love the opening video where he was dressed as the redheaded woman running from the kids in the movie Weapons. Brilliant. I did absolutely Brilliant. okay, fantastic. I went to one of the websites on Facebook that's talking about the Oscars in the comments. We don't care. I haven't watched those forever ago.

>> Mike: That's.

>> Darin: That used to be good, and now it's crap. And this is, like, everybody hates it. Everybody on this comment board of the 30 or 40 comments were just negative. People couldn't stand it. Right.


I've got some thoughts on how to make the Academy Awards better

So, I've got some thoughts on how to make the Academy Awards better. So, Hollywood, listen up. The first thing that pisses me off about the Oscars is, like, the cast of Bridesmaids reunited. So there's five women up there. Melissa McCarthy and Rose Byrne and three other women. And they were all in Bridesmaids. Estelle Getty. Yeah, that's right. Linda Lavin. And they gave them four, five, six minutes or something. They're up there a long time doing this comedy bit, and they're presenting. Okay. so it takes them forever to get to the award. Now, if. If it was my category, and I've waited long enough, I just want to know if I won the award or not. Yeah, but here's the thing. They give the presenters, like, unlimited amount of time to stand there sometimes. They're funny. This episode of the Oscars, they were not the. Robert, Downey Jr. And Chris Evans are up there. Captain America, right in Iron Man. Awkward, unfunny, dull, weird, boring. And they were up there, what seemed like forever. So the presenters, they give them, like, unlimited time, but people who actually win an award, they have no time. 45 seconds to think. And there were several people who got cut off.

>> Mike: Oh.

>> Darin: And so they literally turned their microphone off, and they were still standing there

>> Mike: going,

>> Darin: Let the person. Let the person say thank you.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: You won a freaking Oscar in Hollywood. Oscar is king.

>> Mike: Yes.

>> Darin: Right. Yeah. So let the winners say thank you and give the presenters less time. So there's that. Okay. Years ago, they used to say they would have honorary Oscars, Okay. The lifetime achievement Award. Then they would give awards out for. To people who, did all kinds of charity, work and whatever. So this year, the honorary. Two of the honorary awards went to Tom Cruise and another one went to Dolly Parton. These honorary Academy Awards were given at another date at another time, like a couple of weeks ago, maybe a month or so ago. Yeah. So what they need to do on this night, when there's the honorary Academy Awards, they also need to give the Academy Award for best documentary, best documentary short, best animated short. Okay. And it's not that These people aren't talented. It's not that they don't do amazing work. These short films, these documentaries aren't readily available. They're not presented in theaters or readily seen on Netflix or streaming services. Not that. Not that I've seen or. Okay, so give them. At another time earlier when you said

>> Mike: you were excited that you'd seen a documentary, there was one Oscars year where I had seen the animated short that

>> Darin: won because it was, it was in

>> Mike: front of a Pixar.

>> Darin: Yes, yes, that's true. Yeah. It came before the Pixar film.

>> Mike: And I walked around that week like I was the.

>> Darin: Guess what I saw.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Ah, animated short. Yeah. So that's how you can cut the time down. And also I thought that they were going to start giving Academy Awards for stunt work. I think that's a kick ass category. Oh yeah, you got stunt work. So put that in there. So guys do that.

Can we talk about Leonardo DiCaprio's mustache for a minute

Now back to you guys in the studio.

>> Mike: Can we talk about Leonardo DiCaprio's mustache for a minute?

>> Darin: It's gotta be for a movie.

>> Mike: I. He looks good.

>> Darin: I don't like it.

>> Mike: I. It makes me upset because he looks good with it. I've. I've always been of the opinion that, no one looks good with a mustache. Right. And then Chris Cornell started his. I'm like, okay, we'll do a pass. But only because he's got the goatee. And then he started shaving. Then he just had like the soul patch. It's like he still has that.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: But he's got the. He'.

>> Darin: He's.

>> Mike: You can. He's. He's okay.

>> Mike: Right. And then, Pedro Pascal.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: Was like, okay, there's another. But only because he looks like Burt Reynolds.

>> Darin: That's true.

>> Mike: Burt Reynolds. Tom Selleck. These guys are Grandfather Reynolds.

>> Darin: And Tom Selleck, not Tam Sel, had the best flipping mustaches.

>> Mike: New people are not allowed. Right. I think Tom Hanks grew a mustache for something and I'm like, ah, I don't know about that. Didn't he have one for. It was a Captain Phillips, or was

>> Darin: it when he played Walt Disney? Right.

>> Mike: Yeah. That one unnerved, me.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: Yeah. And it helped foster or continue to foster this belief that no one looks good in a. With a mustache.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: Then I start seeing clips from this year's Oscars and there's Leonardo DiCaprio looking fantastic with a mustache.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And he looks younger than me now, and that bothers me. He's, he's a year older than me and he looks younger and he looks fantastic with a good looking guy.

>> Darin: I don't know what people are, what their gripe is. I think he's a very good looking

>> Mike: guy and he's an excellent actor.

>> Darin: He's a very good actor. And Leonardo DiCaprio is one of those people where if I ever met him, I would have to tell him that I am proud of him. And he would say, what are you talking about? I'm proud of you. Because I, I hadn't seen this boy's life. The first movie of Leonardo DiCaprio that I saw was what's Eating Gilbert Grape. Okay. And what's Eating Gilbert Grape is In my top 10 favorite films of all time.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Okay. I can watch that over and over and over again. I believed with everything in my fiber and, and being that he was Arnie Grape.

>> Darin: A big party.

>> Darin: Han Gilbert, what is that party coming?

>> Mike: Six days. Six days.

>> Darin: My part and I'm coming. Team. I'm 18 and you're not invited.

>> Mike: Arnie, don't be rude.

>> Darin: Oh, it's okay.

>> Mike: He's just being honest.

>> Darin: I don't mind. And I love that movie. And I just became an instant fan of his and everything he does.

>> Mike: Well. Yeah, that, that movie. And I'll agree with you. And then I don't know if you've

>> Darin: seen the Basketball Diaries or Bad Basketball Diaries.

>> Mike: At the end of the Basketball Diaries, I was like, should we call him? Should we check?

>> Darin: That's right.

>> Mike: Is he okay?

>> Darin: Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was great in Blood Diamond.

>> Mike: He was, y'. All.

>> Darin: He's great in everything that he's in. Yeah.

>> Mike: James Cameron talked about him. He talked about, when he was casting him for Jack and Titanic. Yeah.


Leonardo did not want to read. And James Cameron was like, well, I'm not gonna. If you're not gonna read the part

Leonardo did not want to read. And James Cameron was like, well, I'm not gonna. If you're not gonna read the part. I'm not gonna put you in the movie. He's like, this movie's gonna take up. I think I forget what he said. Like, five years of my life. I'm not gonna waste it on an actor that just won't read right. And he said, all right, I'll read. And James Cameron said, instantly when they started the table read, he turned into Jack from Titan like, immediately. Yeah, like, he's good. Yeah.

>> Darin: He had instant do comedy.

>> Mike: He can do everything.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And I'm okay with that, but. But then when you throw the mustache in my face like that,

>> Darin: did it kind of piss you off that he looked good with the mustache?

>> Mike: It actually does. He looks good in a Mr. Pringles type way, I think.

>> Darin: Like, Mr. Pringles is sexy as his.

>> Mike: He's got symmetry working. He's like a perfectly oval face. He looks so good with it that it's hard to imagine him without it. I almost had to come down here and look at some of the pictures of him on the back of. Oh, no, that's what he looked like without a mustache. That's how I saw Leonardo DiCaprio for decades.

>> Darin: So do you have what I call Letterman syndrome? Like, I've seen Letterman with the beard for so long that when I watch his Netflix show, I can't imagine him talking to somebody without the beard.

>> Mike: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

>> Darin: He's had the beard now for not a long time, but for so long, I can't picture, him without it. even though I had 33 years of watching Letterman without a beard, it's

>> Mike: like when Matthew McConaughey quit acting like a dip.

>> Darin: When did he do that? Was that yesterday? Did I not get the memo? My apologies to Matthew McConaughey. I like Matthew McConaughey.

>> Mike: I love Matthew McConaughey.

>> Darin: But the first time, I refuse to let him go down on the ship with Timothy Chalamet, the ballet and the.

>> Mike: I don't know. I don't even know what that is. I've seen some clips.

>> Darin: Timothy Chalamet said that the ballet and the opera, were crap. or something like that. Oh, boy, did that piss off Nathan Lane.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: Yeah, we've got Nathan Lane all fired up.

>> Darin: Oh, what a schmuck.


Matthew McConaughey and Timothee Chalamet attend town hall meeting

Let me explain. Let me get to the comedy portion of our program. Why was there a town hall meeting with Matthew McConaughey and Timothee Chalamet?

>> Darin: Right?

>> Darin: I mean, who deemed this meeting of the minds necessary? You know? Then I realized, oh, he's still promoting that endless ping pong movie.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Darin: And, you know, I got news for Timmy. You know, if you think nobody cares about opera and ballet, I can't tell you how much we don't care about pain.


Matthew McConaughey's mustache bothers me about Leonardo DiCaprio

>> Mike: Before we go off the rails there, Matthew McConaughey, okay. First time I saw him was Dazed and confused. Right.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: And he acted like a dip. Right. And then he ended up in all these rom coms.

>> Darin: Yeah. How to lose the guy.

>> Mike: He was like, oh, there's the guy from days and confused. Now he's, you know, he shaved that mustache and now he's just. He's in a rom com. And he kept doing one after another, another. And he talked about this on another on a podcast that he did, how he stopped doing rom coms and he wasn't going to do anything. And he didn't work for like 18 months or 20 months, right. Until stuff started coming in that wasn't like that. And then I don't know where it was somewhere around there. For me, it was, I, want to say Interstellar. That's one of my all time favorite movies ever.

>> Darin: Great, great movie.

>> Mike: And I was like, whoa, this, dude, this dude has come around. He's gone. He's. He's come a long way from the. All right, all right, all right. So he's, he's reached that level, which for me includes DiCaprio. It includes Brad Pitt. you don't agree with, with me on this, but includes Keanu.

>> Darin: I like Keanu Reeves.

>> Mike: I, I like. If I ran into these people, I'm reasonably sure they would be cool people and dope and, and they have Riz.

>> Darin: Riz.

>> Mike: And what bothers me about DiCaprio's mustache is now I would feel uncomfortable around him. He's rich, he's an actor, he's got

>> Darin: a lot of money, he's got a lot of, he does.

>> Mike: But that mustach rubs it right in your face.

>> Darin: One more good thing about Leonardo DiCaprio. You know how much I love David Letterman, right? Yeah, yeah, I've mentioned that on the show many, many times. I have a deep fondness and admiration for David Letterman. I think Leonardo DiCaprio was only on his show one time. I don't remember what movie is promoting, but good Lord, Dave would not stop interrupting him. Leonardo is trying as hard as he can to tell a story. Did that remind you cooking beans? Did you cook some BE or did you got any gum? He. It was, it was exactly like Norm MacDonald's impression. And Leo was cool and, and was playing Along. I remember I was reading all the comments and like so many people were hating on Letterman. Like, let the guy finish the sentence. And it's. And I hate to say, but it's like I kind of agreed with everybody because I wanted to hear Leo tell a story. And and he. Yeah, Ah, you know, he made it through fine.

>> Mike: Yeah.


I sneak candy and I sneak sodas into the movie theater

>> Darin: Speaking of movies. For, for, for years. Yes, for year. Many, many, many years. And I have been completely. I have never denied this. I sneak candy and I sneak sodas into the movie theater. I've done this for ever. I got busted this weekend.

>> Mike: Good.

>> Darin: I got good.

>> Mike: Good. Because it pisses me off that you do that. You're making it hard on the rest.

>> Darin: Why does it piss you off?

>> Mike: Because that's why our prices are so high.

>> Darin: No, because.

>> Mike: Because ne' er do.

>> Darin: Well, sneak it in because the prices are so high. And listen, if I didn't sneak in my drinks, then it's not like I'm gonna buy a drink there. I'm not gonna buy a drink for $7. That's half ice. Yeah, I'm just not. Yeah, so

>> Mike: I'm glad you got.

>> Darin: I was walking in and the guy noticed that I had my drinks. He goes, sir, sir. And then I kind of like did the sir. and I stopped and he says, you can't take those drinks in. And I said serious? He goes, yeah, I'm sorry, you can't take the drinks in. And what did I say? I said, quote, do you realize how many times we come to this movie theater?

>> Mike: You did, Do you know who I am?

>> Darin: Do you know who I am? And he didn't. He didn't care.

>> Mike: He didn't care.

>> Darin: He did not care.

>> Mike: so Johnny Law is gonna stop

>> Darin: you with my tail between my legs.

>> Mike: I can't believe he actually said something to you.

>> Darin: Took my drinks back to the van and then I walked in. And out of spite. Oh my God. And you think I'm spiteful? There was no way in hell my mom was gonna buy a drink. Yeah, mom was pissed. I was pissed. Libby was like, oh, honey, I'm sorry. I should have snuck him in in my coat. I'm like, it's not your fault that you didn't sneak him in. It was his fault because he was being a about.


Going to a motion picture at a theater is ridiculously expensive now

Okay, we live and listen to I'm listening list. Are you listening?

>> Mike: I'm keyed in.

>> Darin: We live in a time where going to a motion picture at a theater is ridiculously expensive.

>> Darin: Okay. People complain about gouging with gas prices and people complain about how expensive it is to go to the grocery store. And people complain about, you know, restaurants, it costs a lot to eat out. And then, you know, we used to be able is customary to tip 15% and now they want you to tip 20%. Okay. They're gouging at the movie theater and the motion picture industry, they did this to themselves. They used to. Everybody used to go to one or two movies a weekend. It was crazy. Everybody went to the movies. People love going to the movies. They started releasing, everything on dvd. And what did they put on the dvd? They put bonus, scenes. They put the director commentary.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: They put, they put deleted scenes and never before scenes or whatever. And then for a while people were going to the movie and then they were buying the movie. And after about two or three years, people were like, why am I doing this? Why am I paying for this movie twice? Why am I doing this twice? So some people stop buying the DVDs, some people stop going to the theater. Right then streaming killed it. Absolutely killed it. It used to be you go to a movie and if you miss it at the theater, it was like five or six months later to where it came out on VHS or dvd. Then they started putting it out a month later. I remember you went to see Dungeons and Dragons.

>> Darin: And you were raving about how much you love Dungeons and Dragons. Yeah. Two weeks later it was on the Netflix.

>> Mike: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

>> Darin: Two weeks later. And people are like, well, why am I going to see, why am I going to pay? It's a very expensive family of four. You go to the movies, it costs like 120 bucks if you buy the popcorn and the drink. I think it's gouging. If movie tickets were reasonable, I think more people would go to theater. People love going to the movie theater, but they're tired of paying a lot of money to go. Yeah, my God, it's so expensive to go to a movie. And then if you don't, you can see it in your home. And so many people have big screen TVs now, they just watch it at home.

>> Mike: Yeah. Well, I was gonna say there is the aspect of going to see like the big movies with, with everybody.

>> Darin: Yes, yes. Yeah. I mean, it's like. But yeah, going to see the Avengers End game in the theater is way different than going to see Hoppers.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And I liked Hoppers, the new Pixar film. It's really, really good. The last time Libby and I went to a movie, there was, four of us in the theater four.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And this was at night. Okay. We paid the evening price to see a movie at night, and there were four of us in the theater. So I think these movie theater people. And you know who I'm talking about. Dude with the beard. You should be happy that I bought five tickets and I bought a large bucket of popcorn and you should let it go that I snuck in.

>> Mike: I can't believe you actually said something I gave you.

>> Darin: But.

>> Mike: But, like, I don't.

>> Darin: If I realize I would be the

>> Mike: absolute worst person to have that job. You could come in with a forklift carrying a Pepsi machine, and I would offer to open both doors. You get it in, I would not stop you at all.

>> Darin: And another thing. When you buy the drinks at the movie, why am I pointing at the camera? I'm pissed. When you buy the drinks, it's half ice. You're paying seven.

>> Mike: Mind up M. I don't mind it.

>> Darin: You're weird. You pay seven bucks for a drink. It shouldn't be half ice.

>> Mike: you got to keep it cold. I get mad the other way. If they ask me if I want ice, I get really pissed off. I'm like, yes, I want ice. I paid for it. I want ice in there.

>> Darin: A little bit of ice.

>> Mike: I get about half cup ice. And then the rest, people are gouging.


So speaking of movies, I don't know if you've heard the controversy about Doomsday

So speaking of movies, I don't know if you've heard the controversy about Doomsday, Avengers Doomsday, and Dune 3.

>> Darin: What about the controversy?

>> Mike: They are coming out at the same time, and only one. It gets. It gets better. Are you ready for this one? So Avengers Doomsday is a big deal. Yeah, it's the first Avengers movie in forever. Robert Downey Jr. Is returning. Yes, they have to doctor explain that and all that stuff.

>> Darin: So I've heard that Captain. Ah, America. No, I've heard that Chris Evans.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Is returning as, Scott Bayo. Scott Baio. What the hell did that. Captain America. What's Captain America's real name?

>> Mike: Chris Evans. Lee Majors.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: Steve Rogers.

>> Darin: Steve Rogers. Captain America is my favorite character. I'm losing my mind.

>> Mike: It's hard to think of a superhero named Steve. I think they should have called him Captain Steve. Anyway, the point is, Captain Steve, those two movies are coming out not only at the same time, but if you'll, If you'll remember, only one movie can be IMAX at a time. And Dune 3 has been chosen as the one that is IMAX. So you will not be able to see Avengers Doomsday in imax. Okay. That's a big thing. Yeah, that's a big deal. I think that's a big deal.

>> Darin: Apparently, it's a big deal if I'm

>> Mike: the movie executive, right. And I have to pick which one of those two gets IMAX just on pure greed in. In, like, which one's going to bring the most people in. It's got to be Doomsday. I mean, I'm a Dune fan. I'm going, I'm gonna see Dune three.

>> Darin: Timothy.

>> Mike: I don't care where you put it. Yeah, but Timothy. But I, you know, out of just. I just. Just assume Avengers should get them.

>> Darin: It's got to be Avengers. Yes. Yeah, it's got to be Avengers.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Got to be.

>> Mike: I mean, Driving Miss Daisy didn't get imax.

>> Darin: No, it did not. What are you doing? I'm trying to drive you to the stove.

>> Mike: I'm not saying Dune 3 is like driving Miss Daisy.

>> Darin: No, I would never make that comparison.

>> Mike: But there are similarities.


Anna Kroger jokes about a Kroger customer with her young daughter

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

>> Darin: I went to Kroger. I'm in the line getting ready to check out, and there's a woman in front of me, and she's got a little girl. And the little girl, she is being such a big help for her mommy. She is taking stuff out of the cart and putting it on the conveyor belt, and she is working hard, and she's doing a really good job of taking stuff off and putting it on the cart. And I said, wow, you are being such a good helper. And this little girl says, thank you. She says, I am eight and a half years old. Okay. I looked at her, I said, do you know how old I am? 11. And she gave me that exact. And she made that exact noise. She and her mom both, yeah, stared at me.

>> Mike: Were you bombed? To a mom? And her little girl in Kroger, As

>> Darin: Adam Sandler would say, I ate it. I completely. Adam Sandler was talking about. He opened up for Jerry Seinfeld.

>> Mike: Jerry.

>> Darin: When he was new, Jerry let him open up for him. And he realized that Jerry did all clean comedy, so he was going to do all clean comedy because he's open up for Jerry. Yeah, he wasn't used to doing clean comedy. And he, says, and I ate it for 15 minutes, and my parents are there, and they watched me totally eat it. So, yeah, I ate it. This. The woman and her daughter both stared at me, and it was weird and it was awkward and. And the cashier. Oh, was staring at me.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And the girl who was bagging groceries. Oh, this is the girl who never smiles.

>> Mike: Uh-huh.

>> Darin: Ever. In all the times that I've seen her at Kroger, she is never, ever smiling.

>> Mike: Cracked her up.

>> Darin: No, she was smiling.

>> Mike: Yeah. Before

>> Darin: I got there, she was smiling while she was bagging somebody else's groceries. And then this woman for me, comes up with her daughter, who's the big helper. And the girl who never smiles was actually smiling, and then she stopped smiling.

>> Mike: Wow. You created anti comedy.

>> Darin: I had four people just like, I don't think he's 11. Does he really think he's 11? And let me. Let me back up here a little bit. Every time I do that joke with the kid, it kills. Yeah, it absolutely kills. On Halloween. Every Halloween, when kids, would come up, what? Your costume? If someone's dressed as Spider Man, I would say, dude, I love your Thor costume. Because, like, I'm not Thor. I'm Spider Man.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: Okay. And then they get.

>> Mike: They get testy.

>> Darin: Right. But when I see little kids and I say, how old are you? And they say, I'm 8, and I say, I'm 10. Oh. And I said, my mom thinks I'm big for my age. Yeah.

>> Mike: That's you. That did not know.

>> Darin: So I totally bombed Anna Kroger with a lady, her daughter, the girl bagging groceries and the cashier, this lady, she leaves before me, so she should be home. Yeah. By the time I'm done, going through and getting all my stuff checked, out. I get all my stuff checked out. I paid for it. It's in the bags. I go to the car, I'm putting stuff in my car. Who shows up? Who's parked right next to me? The lady and her eight and a half year old daughter.

>> Mike: It's like the audience followed you home.

>> Darin: You should have already left.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And there's 300 other cars in the Kroger parking lot. And this lady who thinks I am weird as hell is parked right next to me. She's literally. And that's Kroger story of the week.

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


You've bombed on stage. So is it worse bombing personally or bombing on stage

>> Mike: You've bombed on stage.

>> Darin: Oh. Oh, famously.

>> Mike: So is it worse bombing personally or bombing on stage?

>> Darin: Oh, on stage.

>> Mike: Is it okay?

>> Darin: Oh, yeah. Although I don't care anymore.

>> Mike: I really don't know.

>> Darin: I don't. I want to do. Well, I do. And I'm disappointed. Yeah. Especially if I write a new joke or if I do a particular bit that I'm really proud of.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: I've done comedy, routine that killed in one place and had crickets and tumbleweeds. Yeah, it's word for word. The same routine works here. It does not work there. And I famously told the story about the time where I bombed and then I couldn't get the microphone back in, the thing. And the announcer said, we're waiting on you to leave the stage. That was humiliating, degrading, embarrassing.

>> Mike: I. I can't remember who it was. One of. One of the comedian, Bill Burr or somebody of that stature was talking about how they got to a point with bombing, or they're. They're at a point with bombing where they enjoy it. Like, it's. Yeah, it's, like, fun for them if they. If they bomb. Because you reach a point, especially when you're at their level, where you never really bomb, you know?

>> Darin: That's right.

>> Mike: so that when they do, they actually enjoy it. It's like. It's like, oh, there actually are live people out there.

>> Darin: Exactly. And that's. You know, Adam Sandler is talking about. You know, he's told many stories about just completely bombing, and he just laughs it off now because he's Adam Sandler.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: He's got a gazillion dollars.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: You know, you can talk about, but it doesn't. It. It's like, if I do stand, up routine that totally bombs, like, well, that's fodder for the podcast.

>> Mike: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

>> Darin: You know, this podcast, now that I do this, this is my creative outlet. This is where, this is where I try out humor, with you and. And people enjoy it, I've heard. so this is my comedy outlet here. If I didn't have this, I would probably be doing a lot more stand up. If the opportunity to do standup comes up, I'll take it.

>> Darin: so bomb or not, I. I still do it. I enjoy it. Remember Planet Hollywood, huh?

>> Mike: Uh-huh.

>> Darin: Okay, so when Planet Hollywood was, not just getting started, but it was around a couple of years. Okay. By, like, the third or fourth year of Planet Hollywood, they were trying to open, another, like, 10 or 15 restaurants a year. Okay. And they were everywhere. Literally everywhere. Every place there was a Hard Rock Cafe, there was a Planet Hollywood right next door to them. I remember I was asking, I was at a Hard Rock one time, and I was like, is this. Does that bother you? And they're like, no, man. You people either go eat at Planet Hollywood and then come to Hard Rock for souvenirs, or they eat at the Hard Rock. And they go to Planet Hollywood for souvenirs. Yeah. So people were hitting both spots. They were really benefiting each other. So I went to a Planet Hollywood, and I saw that you could sign up for a Planet Hollywood credit card. Okay. Okay. It's, a. Like a Visa. One of the perks was if you have this credit card, you can go into any Planet Hollywood and go straight to the front of the line, no questions asked. So, like, well, the hell why not? So I got me one of them Planet Hollywood credit cards. My buddy Adam and I were in Myrtle beach, and there's the Planet Hollywood. And I said, let's go. So we walked right up to the front of the line, and I. I dropped it. And the lady looks at. She goes, oh, boy. Oh, oh, oh. Like, okay, we've trained for this. What do we do? And she went. And she got her friend Sarah. So Sarah comes over, looks at it, goes, okay, right this way. Okay. She took us right over and we sat down. She sat us down, and her friend that was with her walked over and she said, are you related to anybody famous? I said, oh, yeah, I'm Ralph Macchio's cousin. Okay.


Wayne had a crush on Cassandra back in the 90s

Okay. Adam started laughing so hard, I said, no, I'm not related to anybody. I just. You signed up for the card? I signed up for the card. She goes, well, Brian Adams brother was in here yesterday. Wow. So, all right, Good company, good night, and party on. Party on, Wayne.

>> Mike: Party on.

>> Darin: Garth, back in the 90s, do you remember Wayne's World?

>> Darin: Okay. In Wayne's World, Wayne had, the hots for Cassandra. Or Cassandra. Right. And every time he would think about her, the song Dreamweaver would come on and he would imagine her with the flowing hair, and he was so in love with Cassandra. So I had a crush on this girl. I had a crush on her for a long time. I just had a crush on her. Nothing ever happened from it. It. I'm in the car one day, I'm at a red light, and Dreamweaver comes on the radio. And I turned it up because I like that song. I look at my rear view mirror, and who is in the car behind me? The girl who I had the crush on. Oh. And she is eating a taco like there's no tomorrow. She is attacking this taco like a wolf. eating a rabbit with a broken leg. Lunging at it.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And I started laughing so hard, and the crush went away. It just. It was gone. My smittenness.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Was done.

>> Mike: Yeah. Killed With a taco.

>> Darin: Filled with the taco.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Thanks, Dreamweaver. we're gonna go. I want to thank everybody for listening and. Hey everybody who downloaded last Week's episode number 300, thank you. There's a very popular episode. We appreciate you doing that. We mentioned at the top of the show. We're going to say it again. Please go to Irritable dad syndrome dot com. You can listen to every episode you have.

>> Mike: All of them.

>> Darin: Every episode that we have. I don't know how many episodes you have, but the ones we have are available at Irritable dad syndrome dot com. You can become a patron if you want and that would be awesome. But the most important thing is we hope to see you next week on Irritable Dad Syndrome.

>> Dave: Irritable dad Syndrome was videotaped before a live studio audience.

>> Mike: Here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna do some wild ass techno stuff here. I love the cold opens and the bloopers the most because it's like a new show for me.

>> Darin: Mm

>> Mike: Yeah. Those are the cats. Meow. Those are the teats, as it were. We need structure.

>> Darin: You're giving me so much hope.

>> Mike: We need structures. We need an adult.

>> Darin: There's one in. Within the 5 mile radius. Let me call Libby. We. Okay.

>> Mike: great start.

>> Darin: Yeah, I know, right?

>> Mike: I. I hear people enjoy those.

>> Darin: The Kroger story of the week. Yeah. Okay.

>> Mike: He needs to. And, and whenever I do that like I was like, I'm not gonna go there. Just cut that out so I don't look like it.

>> Darin: I know want that to you, but
