Tonight we're recording two episodes; another one will drop next week

>> Dave: Time now for Irritable Dad Syndrome. Refrigerate after opening. Put your hands together for your hosts, Mike and Darren.

>> Darin: Hi, I'm Darren.

>> Mike: I'm Regis.

>> Darin: Welcome to Irritable Dad Syndrome, Cincinnati's comedy podcast. This is episode 313. Mike's in a mood and M. That guarantees this is going to be a great episode.

>> Mike: A word of warning.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: For all listening. This is a double episode night. Now if you listen weekly, the that's not going to mean anything to you. It's going to be like everything's normal. This will be the episode for this week. Another one will drop next week. But for y' all in Patreon, for the all watching us on the twitches and the YouTubes live, you know as well as we do that anytime we double up on episodes, typically one is

>> Darin: sub, usually one is awesome part and one blows and then.

>> Mike: Yeah. But the other one is like stellar, like insane. It becomes like, every clip becomes the next best of.

>> Darin: But the last time we recorded two episodes in a night, they were both fire. Were absolutely fire. And we've got a friend who listens to the show, actually sent us a message. And I had mentioned to her, I'm like, yeah, the, we recorded two episodes in one night. And she's like, oh my God, I can't wait to listen to the next one. Yeah. Because she wanted to ride the wave, the wave of hilarity.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And so she could not wait to listen to the next week's episode. So, yeah, Tonight we're recording two episodes. So 3, 13, 314. They may both be bangers. One may suck. Who knows? You gotta stay attention. You gotta pay attention and, listen all the way to the end.

>> Mike: Yeah. Again, if you're a Patreon member, then you can watch the whole Sorted affair,

>> Darin: the whole Kit and Kabooda, and

>> Mike: see it all together. You get to see all the fun little scraps, like in between the episodes where we cry and we just like, what the hell was that? And one of us will say, X number, it's a good run. We can end it right here. And then we do the other episode.

>> Darin: We do that every week.

>> Mike: We. We cry. We cry again. And then say something inappropriate and then we. We sign off.

>> Darin: That's right.

>> Mike: It's a beautiful thing.


Every Tuesday morning, I play a game where I try to find the title

>> Darin: So welcome to the show.

>> Mike: Welcome to the show.

>> Darin: We got a message from a fan. The the facts came in. Says, here. I got it right here in my hand. Dear Irritable dad syndrome. Every Tuesday morning, I play a game where I try to see how long it takes me to find the title of the episode. Fun. Keep up the good work. And can we please hear more names of graduates from the class of 2026?

>> Mike: Wait, were they trying to find the name?

>> Darin: The name of the show?

>> Mike: I don't understand.

>> Darin: So last week's episode was Never lick a horse.

>> Mike: Correct.

>> Darin: So our friend Courtney, who listens to the show, she will start it.

>> Mike: Oh, listening for the. Listening for it to come up here.

>> Darin: Yeah. So she was like, I've gotta find where they say they never lick a horse. So she plays the episode. I think she starts a counter.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: To see where. And so she texted me. She's like 25, 26.

>> Mike: Oh, wow.

>> Darin: She had to, She listened to the entire episode and had to go back again because she didn't hear where we said never lick a horse. I think she was laughing so hard.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: That it just. It just went under the radar. Well, and then. Yeah, Mike, she went back to the graduation part. She says, I want to hear the names of the students who graduated again. She had so much fun with that. So, Courtney, thank you very much. At the end of this episode, Mike and I, we will read some, more names of graduates from the class of 2026. thank you for your request and thank you for listening to Irritable Dad Syndrome.

>> Mike: And I will say, now, this is a rumor, so I cannot confirm nor deny the veracity of the statement, but

>> Darin: I've heard it on the Internet. It's true.

>> Mike: But from what I understand is that if you take the minute and second time signature for where the title appears for the first 100 episodes and you put. You line those up, they make GPS coordinates, where we have hidden you. Like, see, he's laughing. He's trying to deflect million dollars. Significant. I don't give him our attorney $20. We've hidden a prize.

>> Darin: Huh?

>> Mike: Just go to those coordinates and dig

>> Darin: and then ask you something real quick off, like, yeah, what was I supposed to hide?

>> Mike: Yeah, Dave, lay.

>> Darin: I didn't. Okay. Yeah, I don't know that Dave hid the.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: Yeah. Hi. We're back.

>> Mike: Fun fact. If you start listening to Irritable Dad Syndrome from the beginning, the very first, voice that you hear is Dave.

>> Darin: Dave. That's right.

>> Mike: He was the first one. He. He. His. His boot was the first on the ground.

>> Darin: That's right.

>> Mike: For the Irritable Dad Syndrome assault.

>> Darin: That is right.

>> Mike: Anyway, the second hundred, it's a similar thing when the prize doubled. So we keep doing this with every hundred. So now that we're up in the 3/ hundreds m, the prize has reached three times prize level.

>> Darin: And it's insane. Yeah. And there are. There are no losers on Irritable Death.

>> Mike: Again. Really. The only way to find it is to listen to each episode through to the point where you hear the title.

>> Darin: That's right.

>> Mike: and then the rest of the episode, and then do that for every episode.

>> Darin: So good luck.

>> Mike: Yeah. And you can't rewind if you missed writing it down. You've got to go back to the beginning and. And listen, this is going to get some ad revenue on this, man.

>> Darin: We are in. This podcast is finally going to take off.


I started listening to podcasts when we first moved to Westchester

>> Mike: I would like to point out something before you start with your.

>> Darin: I. I have a list of good

>> Mike: things to talk about. have been going down memory lane lately.

>> Darin: All right.

>> Mike: And I passed by, apartments that Bess and I and Andrew, when we first moved to the Westchesters, we lived in an apartment. We lived at the preserve at Beckett Ridge. Right. And it was on it. There's a ridge there, hence the name Beckett Ridge. And we walked our dog Molly all around the grounds there, and she, tried to eat the goose poop and all the fun things. But that's when I really started listening in earnest to podcasts.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And I listened to some video game podcasts because I think, many of our, listeners know I'm a big dork.

>> Darin: You love the Viggy.

>> Mike: But I found some movie podcasts, and one in particular that I. I just adore. it's film junk. I'll give them a nice little plug.

>> Darin: Oh, that's. That is a great podcast.

>> Mike: The best film podcast.

>> Darin: It's no Irritable Dad Syndrome, but it's a great podcast.

>> Mike: So I, you know, I was mowing because we. We had the graduation party for Andrew, so I was told I had to mow the lawn. Right. Right. So I go out there and I'm

>> Darin: like, God forbid people see that you have grass.

>> Mike: I'm gonna listen to a podcast. And I, I fired up some film junk and a few things. Hit me, because I haven't really listened to them since we started this. It's been a number of years.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: They're still going strong. Okay. Cracking me up.

>> Darin: Good for them.

>> Mike: And I enjoyed. I. I could hear their influence on this show, where we go off on tangents and talk about stuff, and it ends up being some of the funniest stuff. And then we have no real way to get back to the core of the show, and we just kind of let it flounder, huh?

>> Darin: yeah. Yeah.

>> Dave: Like now.

>> Mike: Yeah. But it's. I. I always thought that was annoying when we did that. I kind of enjoy it. And you do a good job at editing it to make it seem comical. I will say.


You have become a master editor of this show, Darren

Okay, I would like to give you an award.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: I'd like to give you some. What's, that called? The kids call them props.

>> Darin: Oh, yes.

>> Mike: Some people say kudos, but I don't talk to those kind of.

>> Darin: I prefer props.

>> Mike: Props. You have become a master editor of this show.

>> Darin: Oh, thank you.

>> Mike: And the reason I say that. One of the reasons I say that is because I handle the video portion, right?

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: And I do my own editing on the video, and I will hit parts that I know when we talked about them were hilarious. But then I have to wade through so much to get to the good part.

>> Darin: Uh-huh.

>> Mike: Right. And then you do that for the full hour every time. And the story about Jim finding the nudie mags.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: In the wall at Mundy's.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: I've listened to the raw tapes multiple times because I made a video about it. What you did to the audio portion of that, just amazing. Well, it sounds like we rehearsed it.

>> Darin: It's so much easier to edit the audio because when you cut down parts of the video, the video has all these jump cuts in it.

>> Mike: Yeah. That's what the kids like these days.

>> Darin: Oh, yeah. It's that MTV look. Yeah. Okay. But no, when you edit the audio down, you can't see.

>> Mike: No.

>> Darin: That one sentence has five edits.

>> Mike: We see.

>> Darin: My God, I have edited the bejesus out of the story before. And then I go back and listen to it, and I'm like. We sound like we're very eloquent speakers.

>> Mike: See, I.

>> Darin: In reality, we are.

>> Mike: We.

>> Darin: We are m. I know There's.

>> Mike: There's people out there right now. Oh, I hate it when they talk inside baseball. Well, suck it up, Percy, because we're gonna talk.

>> Darin: Just a few more minutes, Percy.

>> Mike: When I've edited before, I have a problem in that I do enjoy the final product, but I can still hear all the weird stuff that led into it. And I never get the full extent. I can tell you that listening to that, story, I bore witness to the fact I think I had an embolism on the show. I could not. I could not get out the name of the place, why it mattered, and where he found it. I mean, it's a good five minutes of me. I think it sounds like I fell on the floor and convulsed a bit before I got back up and tried to finish the story. But when you listen to the final product, it's. It sounds just smooth as, butter.

>> Darin: Well, you remember the first time we had Mike Chisum on the show, right?

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: We had to start the show three times.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: I mean, my God, I had to Frankenstein that together.

>> Mike: Well, part of it was he never knew when to shut the up.

>> Darin: He was just. I was like, hi, I'm Darren. And I'm Mike. And I'm Mike. Chesup. Come on, Mike. Hang on, let me introduce you.


Mike: I love the Amazing Race. I think they do release at Warts

And then we. Anyway, he was begging me to release the show, just as is Warts, huh? And all. And I was like, I don't do that.

>> Mike: Some shows are good like that. And I think film junk. I think they do release at Warts and all. They'll have two and three hour shows. And you can tell. And I will say some of the funnier moments are when they have their problems, but they don't have problems like we have problems. We have problems. We've got problems. Like we've got problems. I expect some of the twitch people every once in a while to just dial 911. It's like, those guys need help.

>> Darin: So much help.

>> Mike: I saw an interview with Penn, Gillette, Penn, and. Yeah, Regis, Phil, Penn and Teller. Penn was on the Apprentice. Celebrity Apprentice.

>> Darin: That's right.

>> Mike: And he did an interview where he was talking about how the episodes. They would film the episodes for like four or five hours straight. Because Trump would just. Just go on and on and on about whatever. And then they would just. He said, that that show was born out of the editing because they would get done filming and he'd be like, what are you gonna. I mean, what is this? Like a five parter?

>> Darin: Yep.

>> Mike: And he would see the final product appear on tv. He was like, wow.

>> Darin: Wow. You know what I would love to see? Because I don't know if you've ever watched the Amazing Race.

>> Mike: No, I don't like fast things.

>> Darin: Oh, God.

>> Mike: Fear, Speed.

>> Darin: I love the Amazing Race. And it starts out with 11 teams and they race around the world and then it's down to 10 and then 9 and 8 and 7 and whatever. So the first episode is 11 teams, and the editors cut that show into 11 equal parts where each team gets almost the same amount of coverage.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Right. And then when that person gets booted off, then the next week it's 10. And each team gets like, the same, like an equal amount of. I'm like, it's amazing. And so they have, a camera person running with them, then they have overhead cameras and they have the cameras that are strapped onto their, their GoPros on their person. And there has got to be hundreds of hours of footage for each episode.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And so you see, after they've added in all the commercials and stuff, like 48 minutes of, of material and then 900 hours of stuff that they don't use.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Kudos to the editors of the Amazing Race. You guys are awesome.

>> Mike: Well, and I know people are like, gee, Mike hasn't talked about you too in about three hours. I know that when you know that you've heard a little movie called Rattling Hum, I have. They filmed days and days and days of material. They have multiple complete concerts filmed in that movie quality, film that are just somewhere in a vault. And they've done the same thing for all of their tours since. And it's there. And you two fans know that it's there. And we know there's probably a plan to milk, this tree, this Joshua Tree, if you will.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: For decades after the last, YouTuber breathes their final breath. And part of me is like, that's kind of cool. But another part of me is like, can you just, you know, can you let it go? We're all, we're all getting a little long in the truth ourselves.

>> Darin: So, I mean, that's what Peter Jackson did with that, with that 40 or 50 hours of lost Beatles footage. And he put that stuff together. It was on Disney plus. It was amazing.

>> Dave: So anywho, you're listening to Irritable Dad Syndrome. We put the drome in syndrome.

>> Mike: We got a show to do.

>> Darin: We are. Yeah.


Rush fans are shocked and amazed that their new drummer, Annika is crushing it

And the first thing I want to talk about is a little group, not YouTube, a little group called Rush. And they are insane. They're all over the place because people shocked. They are shocked and amazed and thrilled that their new drummer, Annika is crushing it.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And my whole thing is, did you really think that Alex and Getty were going to bring in someone who they didn't think could crush it. It's like people. Did you really think that they. That they wouldn't do that?

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: What is wrong with you guys?

>> Mike: When she was announced, I looked her up and I. I found some videos of her drumming. And I knew she was going to be successful because when I watched the videos, her drumming I lost. I didn't even know what the beat was. After a few minutes, I'm like, that's what Neil did to me. I lose track of the. I don't even know what time signature. No, he's in, He's in a different universe.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: I remember seeing him.

>> Darin: He was. He was in his whole. Whole different world.

>> Mike: When I. I was in. And I'm in a text thread with some other friends and we were talking about, you know, that, one of the complaints from the Rushites, which, by the way, the Rush user groups are now aflame with all kinds of people talking, which for years it was like every once in a while somebody's like, tom Sawyer's pretty good. But now they're all over the place. And one of the complaints they're saying is that she's too robotic. And I'm like, excuse me, I didn't say anything. Neil Peart.

>> Darin: Yeah. Yes.

>> Mike: Was a magician.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: Of the drums. A wizard. Right. And I will. I'll throw this personal story in. I went to see, At Riverbend, I saw the Clockwork Angels tour. You were at the same show?

>> Darin: I was at the same show and

>> Mike: I saw R40 in Columbus. And I saw that man in the middle of a drum solo. If you remember, his drum kit looked like he had all the control. He had more controls and drums in front of him than the Death Star.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: I mean, it looks. He's just like. That's a main part of their stage is his kit. And in the middle, whilst doing a drum solo, the man stood up and switched positions. So he would face the eastern part of his kit.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: And kept the beat while doing it. And I remember looking at the dad next to me, because that's all that's. At Rush shows. There's a bunch of dads, they're all 50 plus. They looked at each other and. And we just silently said, what did we just witness? And even that man, has said, if you watch the. The documentary beyond the Lighted Stage, it's a great documentary. He pointed out that he felt that he was too robotic in his playing, that he was too technical. And he went to a drum instructor. Ah, A. What was it? Like a different type. Like a jazz drummer kind of something.

>> Darin: Oh, he could play jazz.

>> Mike: Yeah. Yeah. Who. Who taught him how to put feeling in with it, but also keep the technical piece. And you can hear that someone totally

>> Darin: went and relearned how to play drums.

>> Mike: It would be like, God forbid something happens to Bono, right. And they replace him after a few years and somebody says, the new guy's a little too political. What do you.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: Then they did a good job. They did a good replacement.

>> Darin: I heard some. Somebody say that Annika. Her toms aren't tuned right, and she's using thicker symbols.

>> Mike: She's tuned more toms than you've heard of.

>> Darin: God, man. It's like she. The. The girl, the woman, the lady. She can't win with these Rush, purists, fans, because if she goes in and plays beat for beat exactly like Neil did, then they go, oh, she's doing.

>> Mike: Is just.

>> Darin: It's just copying Neil. So if she adds her own flare, well, how dare she disrespect the memory of Neil and the music that he. It's just like.

>> Mike: Yeah, she's.

>> Darin: Yeah. Either way, they're gonna be pissed. So, look, you don't have to buy a ticket, you don't have to watch the videos, and you certainly don't have to listen to them, but I cannot wait until August when we go see them in the Detroit.

>> Mike: The.


Primus did a tour where they played the Farewell to Kings album

The videos that I've seen. She's doing an excellent job. And I saw, Primus did a tour, Farewell to Kings, where they played the Farewell to Kings album in its entirety. And this sounds dorky, but it's true. And I'm sure other Rush fans who saw that show, you could hear. Everyone's listening for the drums, right? Yeah, all three of the guys were masters of their instrument, really. If you focus, just take any Rush song, focus on the guitar or focus on the bass, it'll blow your mind.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: but everybody talks about Neil, but the other guys are masters of their own. Of their own craft.

>> Darin: Getty Lee is the best bass player I've ever seen.

>> Mike: I will say that throughout the performance of that Primus did, they did an excellent job. But every once in a while, I would hear, oh, that's an added drum beat. Or that's different, you know, And I. I feel like even saying that, and I know that somebody listened to that saying, well, how could you even hear. You could hear. Neil was so good that a lot of the times he kind of slid into the background and you didn't realize how Good. He was. Until you hear something different coming out the speakers. Yeah. I got one more thing to say about this. There's a viral video going around of, Annika nailing the fill and Tom Sawyer.

>> Darin: Yep.

>> Mike: And that video gives me chills.

>> Darin: The smile on her face.

>> Mike: Well, it gives me chills because, moving pictures that that song, is from was released in 1981.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And Neil has said in interviews that that's one of his favorite songs to play because it's so difficult. And he said the fill specifically is difficult. And every time he does it or every time he did it, he felt like he had accomplished something. He got it. He got a sense of accomplishment.

>> Darin: Yeah. Ah.

>> Mike: And I watched, you, know, I've seen enough Rush concerts. Every time he would do the Phil watch Alex Lifeson would walk over and watch, like, face him, be like, right at the kid. It was like an act of support. Right. And. And you know, there would always be an interaction between Neil and Alex when he did that. They did that. They played that song like that 30 plus years live.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And if you watch the. The viral video of Annika doing the Phil, Alex walks over and does the exact same thing. And it, blew my mind because I'm thinking, yes, this dude has done this for, like I said, for 30 plus years with his bro back there playing. Yep. And what was that like for him to turn around and do that? And it's a completely different person there.

>> Darin: I know. I cannot wait.

>> Mike: I can't wait. It's going to be awesome.

>> Darin: I'm going to be a sobbing mess.

>> Mike: Oh, good God.

>> Darin: I'm just going to be. When? Cuz they're showing tribute videos.

>> Mike: Oh.

>> Darin: Throughout the show.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: But she has a pair of his drumsticks on the stage. Oh, that is. I mean, that's love, man.

>> Mike: That is love. And they've kept the south park intro for Tom Sawyer, which is song about a black guy on a raft. It's like, okay,

>> Darin: shut up, fat ass. That's song good.

>> Mike: It is too.

>> Darin: I read the book. I wonder if. If they pay Trey Parker and Matt Stone to use that or if they're like, you stole it from us and we're stealing it back.

>> Mike: I'm sure it's. It's. They. They love. They. Both sides love it.

>> Darin: That's not how it goes.

>> Mike: I'm getting Lee. I say how it goes.

>> Darin: 1, 2, 3, and 1, 2, 3. Oh, I love it. I love it so much. And so, yes. I can't wait to see it. And yeah, it's gonna be great.

>> Mike: Those guys, they are hilarious. Where I'm gonna get misty eyed is, they. They've always. I've only seen them twice. They have so much fun on stage. If you watch Alex Lifeson, he is constantly making faces and doing goofy at the people in the front and. And Getty does the same thing, but he's more laughing along at what Alex doing. And then Neil's just back there just doing his job, right?


Mike: How old is Geddy Lee? I think they've

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And, they love being on stage and doing what they do.

>> Darin: How old is Geddy Lee?

>> Mike: I think they've.

>> Darin: They've got to be in because. Because he looks like he's 40. He is up there. And, I have never seen anybody play bass like him. And, and anyway, I can't wait.

>> Dave: Coming up on the next episode of Irritable Dad Syndrome.

>> Mike: I just signed up for aarp.

>> Dave: Oh.

>> Mike: And I. Where has it been all my life?

>> Darin: I know, right?

>> Mike: There's like all kinds of cool in there. BW3s. It's kind of. I. I don't like that because BW3s. I'm pretty sure when you get to a certain age, that's probably the first thing your doctor says you can't have.

>> Darin: You can't have eat anything.

>> Mike: They give you the most, rewards I could do. Get like a $25 gift certificate of BW3s just for opening the app. What the hell?

>> Darin: Even the water there has cholesterol.

>> Mike: None of it's healthy. It's like, yeah, here's some Dairy Queen BW M3s. Here's a tuggy from Rhonda down the street. Just everything that you can't have.

>> Darin: Go to Mike's Best Shack.

>> Mike: That's right, Mike's Best Shack.

>> Dave: Plus how to barbecue on a budget. On the next, Irritable Dad Syndrome.

>> Darin: Speaking of great drummers, Mike.


Mike Cross had a percussion gig last Friday night in Springboro

>> Darin: I had a percussion gig last Friday night. I was, I was home.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And I got a text around 3 o' clock in the afternoon from my good friend Greg Botus. He is a patron and a fan of this podcast.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: I get this text that says there is a band in Springboro. They're looking for a cajon player.

>> Mike: I don't know if I play the cajones. I got a pair of cajones big

>> Darin: as a. I know you do. I've seen the video.

>> Mike: This little coconut oil on them puppies and let it ride. Let it ride.

>> Darin: They needed a cajon player. That's, an acoustic act. It's two guitarists. And, they all. And they all sing, right? And they were doing this gig and they decided for this particular gig they were going to expand upon the band. They were bringing in a guest bass player and they were going to bring in a percussionist. Now they do this from time to time, but the percussionist that they use, was not. Well, yeah, was not feeling good at all. So I got the text and I said, yeah, okay. And I reached out to the band and I said, if you still haven't found somebody, I'm interested in doing it. And the guy calls me and he says, yeah, that'd be fantastic. And didn't ask how long I'd played. Didn't ask really anything. He just told me where the thing was. And I told him. I said, I have a cone. And he says, do you have like an adaptation where you can plug it into an app? I said, no. And he says, do you want to just use mine? and I said, sure. So he's got an app and he's got a cajon. He's got the chords and everything that goes to it. So all I had to do, Mike, was show up. The name of the band is Velvet Crush. And my God, some of the coolest, nicest, most awesome, fun people I had the night of my life. I was nervous and I didn't need anything before the show. And that's what I do when I have a stand up comedy gig. I don't eat, I don't drink anything. I do the my thing and then eat like four hamburgers and dip my face into the trough like a horse. Yeah. In the desert. So I get to the gig and I said, you know, I can meet you there early if you guys want to rehearse a little bit. And he says, that'll be great. So I show up to the place, I meet the guy and, he says, well, here's the cajon. And I said, cool. And I sat down and, and played, on it for like a second. And he's like, yeah, sounds pretty good. Okay. And I said, do you have a set list? No, we haven't knocked that out yet. I said, okay. Do you know what song we're opening up with? He goes, I haven't really decided that either.

>> Mike: There you go.

>> Darin: He says, we just kind of, just kind of go with the flow.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: okay. And he says, you know, with us, less is more. We just want you to keep the beat. I play rhythmic guitar so we just really want you to just hang back and keep the beat. And I said, okay. I I don't know.

>> Mike: They were very specific on what they wanted.

>> Darin: They were so specific on what they wanted. They said, we don't know yet.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And, I don't remember what our first song was. I wish I did. But we did our first song and he, he, he leans back and he says, Southern Cross. We're gonna do Southern Cross. Okay. And I said, I've heard Southern Cross. So I'm playing the Cajon. It's a box, and if you hit it in the middle, it makes a deep sound. And if you hit it toward the top, it makes like a snare sound, a higher pitch snare sound. And so we played that song and, the crowd enjoyed it.

>> Mike: And claps.

>> Darin: And he says, hi, everybody. We're Velvet Crush.


Darren Cox played drums at a comedy club for a recent gig

And I want to mention that we have Darren with us. Darren got a call two hours ago, said wondering if, if he could do this gig. He's never met us before. He's never played music with us. And there was the look on this woman's face at the front row. Like, what? Like, oh, my God, how she thought, like, a magician came in.

>> Mike: Oh, yeah, the Darren Cox.

>> Darin: The Darren Cox. Right? And so, like two or three times throughout the night, he says, you know, out of context again, we've never played music with Darren.

>> Mike: So were you concerned at all that J.K. simmons was going to come out and slap you across the face and ask you if he was leading or dragging?

>> Darin: Not my tempo. Not at all. Not at all. These guys, they could not have been nicer or cooler or. It was so much fun and I had a blast. And, I told him, I said, you guys ever need me again, come on. So, yeah, it was, ah. I hadn't had a drum gig in a long time. I really haven't. I think the last time I had a gig playing drums when there was a comedy club in, Kentucky. it used to be a church. They converted it to a comedy club and they needed a drummer to play music when the comics walked on stage. So I'd play like five seconds. All right, let's give it up for Toby. All right,

>> Mike: Hot for Teacher intro.

>> Darin: They're like, that would be awesome if they introduce a comic. And I did the entire Hot for Teacher. Darren, Darren, Darren. yeah. So it was fun. It was so much fun. I had a blast.


This portion of the show is brought to you by the Taco Bar Calculator

>> Dave: This portion of our show is brought to you by the Taco Bar Calculator. Hi, I'm Dave Lay, and I love tacos. And I also love to throw taco Parties. I don't mean to brag, but the little wife and I have quite a few friends, and we used to have a problem figuring out how many ingredients to buy when throwing a taco party. That was until we discovered the taco bar calculator. Let me tell you how this works. All you gotta do is type in how many people are coming to the party. And the taco bar calculator does the work for you. It tells you how many pounds of meat, how many heads of lettuce, how many jars of salsa, how many boxes of taco shells, how many bags of cheese, how many ounces of sour cream. I think you get the idea. The taco bar calculator available on the Internet. Just go to Google, Yahoo or Bing and type in Taco bar calculator.


Dave Lay's birthday is on June 10th. Happy birthday

Now back to the show.

>> Darin: I had a birthday.

>> Mike: Happy birthday.

>> Darin: Thank you. my Birthday is on June 10th. Dave Lay's birthday is on June 9th. When we used to work together, they would always take us both out to lunch at the same time. And it was great.

>> Mike: It's a way to save money.

>> Darin: That's right. We had one party for two people.

>> Dave: But.

>> Darin: But. So I had my birthday. I took the day off and I, read a book. I finished a book.

>> Dave: Whoa.

>> Darin: Honest to God, I finished a book. It was a great day. I went to this record store in Hamilton, Ohio. I was trying to find a wooden crate to put my albums in. because I don't want to order one and assemble one. I'm lazy. I'm trying to find one that's already just assembled. But I'm walking around this, this vinyl store that's got the coolest. My God, they got these lunch boxes and they got cassettes and CDs and lunchboxes. Yeah, they've got, like, Kiss lunch boxes and cartoon lunch boxes. And they got a lot of cool stuff in there. toys and hats and T shirts. And I can. I hate the place because I can stay in there all day. But I'm walking over and I see they've got this selection of new albums. And I'm looking and it says Record Store Day. And I'm like, well, today's not Record Store. No, I thought Record Store Day stuff was only sold on Record Store Day.

>> Mike: Oh, no. If they have stuff left over, they'll sell it.

>> Dave: Whatever.

>> Darin: Well, that's what I found out.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And last week you were talking about one of our favorite bands, Collective Soul. And why are they not more popular? My question is, what the hell? I went down a rabbit Hole. And I started looking up, some facts and stuff about collective soul. And I found out that they have an album that I don't have. And I have all their albums. I have them all on cd. But I'm like, how come I can't find this one? It's because it was only sold on Record Store Day. And it raised the question, like, I wonder why they do that. Like, what's the incentive of, of going through the effort and putting together what is a really good album when so very few people are going to enjoy it?

>> Mike: It's more about supporting Record Store Day and supporting record stores than anything. Yeah, they're really not getting anything out of it.

>> Darin: So they're throwing record, stores a bone.

>> Mike: Yeah. Yeah. And I'm sure they may get some sort of kickback, but I think most musicians.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Get something out of it. A lot of like the who and Stones, they'll throw out like a live, single.

>> Darin: Yeah. You know. Anyway, so I'm, I'm going through the Record Store Day stuff and I find the collective soul album that was available only exclusively on Record Store Day. And I bought that. Son of a. I got it. And I'm going to tell you something, Mike.

>> Mike: What's it called?

>> Darin: It is called. Oh yeah. I wasn't prepared.

>> Mike: Didn't prepare for that one.

>> Darin: It's. The album is pink. No, the album is blue and it's 180 gram vinyl.

>> Mike: Okay. It's blue. The actual record is blue or the.

>> Darin: The record is blue.

>> Mike: Whoa.

>> Darin: The album is called Touch and Go. Oh, Collective Soul. Touch and Go.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: And it's a good one. I listened to. I've only listened to the first half.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: But it's 180 grain vinyl, which means it's really thick. It's like thick with two Cs and it comes with a poster and it's super cool. And I looked at their set list from when they were at Strawberry Days. They didn't play anything off of Touch and Go, which. Why would you play something off your album that nobody can get?

>> Mike: Did, did they have more copies than just the one?

>> Darin: They had the one. They had the one.


Jim Steinman who wrote many songs for Meatloaf appears on bug commercial

>> Darin: Let's keep talking about music, Mike.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: Do you remember the artist Meatloaf?

>> Mike: I do.

>> Darin: Okay. The guy who wrote, many of the songs for Meatloaf. His name is Jim Steinman. Okay. And Jim Steinman passed away a couple years ago. Okay. He passed away. I can't remember if he died before Meatloaf or after Meatloaf, but he's dead.

>> Dave: Okay.

>> Darin: He is currently spinning in his grave. Because there was this commercial, there's a product, a bug spray called Vivo. And they took I Need a Hero and change the lyrics to I need some Vivo.

>> Mike: That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Wow.

>> Darin: and the woman is holding this can up in the air. I need a vivo. And they're spraying and killing bugs. And I stood up and I said, oh, shut up. yeah. And Libby and the boys are like, what's the matter with that? Is he okay?

>> Mike: Well, yeah.

>> Darin: Okay. I was like, why would they do that? Why? Why would they do that? And why would Jim Steinman's people allow that to happen? It's a smack in the face. He wrote. He wrote Bad out of Hell. He wrote Making Love out of Nothing at all for Air Supply. He wrote, I Need a Hero by Bonnie Tyler. He wrote Total Eclipse of the Heart. He wrote some of the greatest songs rock operas ever recorded. And now he's on a bug commercial.


Charlie successfully negotiated getting a scooter, electric scooter

>> Mike: Family update. Charlie is successfully negotiated getting a scooter, electric scooter. He just doesn't know the art of stopping talking when he gets what he wants. So he gave us exact specifications and a mile per hour that, mom accepted. Best accepted. And I accepted.

>> Darin: I witnessed.

>> Mike: And then he's like, he waited a couple days. Well, this is. This is earlier. He waited a couple days, and then he upped that by three miles per hour. and then he did another three. I'm like, dude, you can't. I mean, at this point, plus, I've been going through a lot. The Past week.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And that's when all this was happening. And he, he finally upped it for the last point, but then he changed other specifications. And I'm like, dude, look, you're at a point where you have got a yes.

>> Mike: You need to stop talking. There's a point.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: Where further negotiation will get you kicked out of the dealership and or the police called on you. So this is where you need to cease.

>> Darin: A few weeks ago when my brother in law, Eddie and his wife Gina and our nephew Ryan, they all came to visit us. And Ryan was he's a young kid.

>> Mike: He's the one that threw Jesus in the house.

>> Darin: He threw Jesus in the house? Yes. We don't throw Jesus in the house.

>> Mike: That's right.

>> Darin: They're like, we're gonna take Ryan out so he can run off some of this energy. And I said, well, yeah, there's two playgrounds in our neighborhood and one of them has been brand new recently. Furbished. Refurbished. And so like, okay, so we went to this playground that my kids used to play at two, three times a week when they were little. And so we were all up at the playground and Ryan brought his little cars. All Ryan wanted to do was roll his cars down one of these really big twisty slides.

>> Dave: Yeah.

>> Darin: Which, whatever, that's what you do with cars. That's why you get them. And so he's got these four Hot Wheels cars and then he would guess, predict which one is going to win the race and he would push them all down the slide. And we're having fun with this because it's hot and we're outside and nobody really wants to chase anybody around. So we were playing with the cars in the slide. Well, this little boy comes up and not only does he want to play with Ryan's cars, he wants to keep Ryan's cars.

>> Dave: Oh.

>> Darin: So this little boy would, grab a car and want to walk off with it. And the mother, kudos to the mom. Props to the mom. Which she would say, Timmy Wayne, put the car back.

>> Mike: Timmy Wayne.

>> Darin: Timmy Wayne. The boy's name is Timmy Wayne.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: And I never heard her once Timmy Wayne.

>> Mike: Brandy Book.

>> Darin: Never once heard her call him Tim or just Timmy. But is Timmy Wayne. And it was, hey, Timmy Wayne, let's go over and go on the swings. Or Timmy Wayne, do you want to go get a drink of water? Or Timmy Wayne, how about we go over on the seesaw? No, it was Timmy Wayne. Yeah, Timmy Wayne. And so we're, you know, Ryan Is trying to play with the cars. And Timmy Wayne won't stop trying to take one of the cars.

>> Mike: Uh-huh.

>> Darin: Now, Timmy Wayne is a little kid, right? You know, of course he. These are cool cars and. But for weeks after this, Libby and I are calling our kids Timmy Wayne. Put down the chocolate milk. Timmy Wayne. Did you get your brother a cookie? Timmy Wayne. Don't do that.

>> Mike: Right.

>> Darin: Story goes nowhere, but I love it. Yeah.

>> Mike: you would be on the blows side of the lp. We'll switch over to the b sides with our next episode.

>> Dave: You're listening to irritable dad syndrome. Mike and Darren in the morning. Classic rock all day.


Critics hate it, but the audience loves it. It's one of these fun ones where the critics hate it

>> Mike: Have you seen he man the master?

>> Darin: I did not see he man.

>> Mike: It's supposed to be really, really. It's one of these fun ones where the critics. It's still got a fresh rating, but it's like it's 63 or 64. I heard that at the very lowest end. But the audience score is damn near perfect.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And people. Critics hate it, but the audience loves it.

>> Mike: Yeah. It's being described as a dumb movie.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: But the actors know it's dumb and they're leaning into it. You know, it's like. It's like everybody's in on the joke.

>> Darin: Honest to God. That's almost word for word how my friend Todd described it.

>> Dave: Yeah.

>> Mike: And that I tend.

>> Darin: That's why he loved it.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Yeah, he loved it.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: So. But no, I have not seen he man and the masters of the universe. A couple weeks ago, when our kids, your son Andrew and my son Cameron graduated high school, Andrew had a graduation party here in your backyard at the estate. At the estate. At the odle ranch.

>> Mike: Yes.

>> Darin: And so we are out in your backyard, and we are talking to. To our friends Ann and Dave.

>> Mike: And the grass was very, well, perfectly mowed. Yes.

>> Darin: Yes. So Anna, Dave were there and Jim, Boyce was there. And I'm there and Cameron's there, and then Libby was there. And somehow a topic of, sheep comes up. And I don't remember how, but I'm talking to. It does. Every now and then people talk about sheep. So. God, this is a horrible episode. Stay tuned to the end. Mike and I are going to read more names than graduates from the class of 26. Don't. Don't go anywhere.


The kicker. The kicker of this is we talked about sheep. So I'm telling Anne and, uh, Dave the story about sheep

>> Mike: The kicker.

>> Darin: Don't go anywhere.

>> Mike: The kicker of this is we talked about sheep.

>> Darin: So. All right. But no. So I'm telling Anne and, Dave the story of my friend who has a farm and she's got like. Like some cows and horses. And these sheep came on her land. Right. One day they just showed up, and none of her neighbors had these sheep. And she couldn't figure out where these sheep came from. And she didn't know what to do with the sheep. And so I said, I got a guy. So I reached out to my friend who has some sheep and he has some horses, and I called him up, and I'm telling Ann this story when Libby looks at me and she says, jim. And I said, what? And she says, jim, Jim, Jim. And she keeps saying Jim. Like, I'm like, why am I not understanding Jim? And I said, why do you keep saying Jim? The guy's name is Bill. And it got. It got a little tense because of, like, his name isn't Jim, it's Bill.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And now not only are we calling the kids Timmy Wayne, but Jacob and Cameron won't stop calling Libby Jim.

>> Dave: Jim.

>> Darin: Right, Jim. And she's like, okay, I had the wrong name. And I said, you know that's going on the podcast, right? so she's like, okay, fine. Fine, Jim.

>> Mike: Yeah. right now I feel like Henry, Winkler with a leather jacket, water, skiing towards a ramp, getting ready to jump with a fin going right in betwixt.

>> Darin: You know what? They've talked about that on Happy Days, and Henry Winkler is happy to talk about that episode. He said that was the number one episode that week, and Happy Days was the number one show, until it went off the air. And everyone talks about he jumped the shark, and that's where the show got ruined. But the show was number one.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: So he doesn't understand why jumping the shark, why that episode is the analogy of a show going bad.

>> Dave: This portion of Irritable Dad Syndrome is brought to you by Dave Lay Heating and Cooling. Hi, I'm Dave Ley. You might remember a couple of years ago, I opened up my own heating and cooling company. You see, the podcast money wasn't rolling in. Truth be told, it still ain't rolling in. Well, my heating and cooling company isn't doing crazy business either. My wife says it's because I don't advertise. She also says that sometimes I start projects and don't follow through with them. And I said, hey, if you know so damn much about running a heating and cooling company, why don't you open one? I think I'm getting off track. Anyway, at, ah, Dave Lay Heating and Cooling, we know when a house is too hot and when a house is too cold and somebody Needs to do something about it. Call today for a free estimate, please. Old Dave needs the money.


Bess and Charlie have started watching Lost. I'm starting to remember some of the frustrations

Now back to the show.

>> Mike: Bess and Charlie have started watching Lost.

>> Darin: Oh, I love Lost.

>> Mike: I did, too.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: but I'm starting to remember some of the frustrations as I'm listening to them watch it. One of my frustrations with Lost, I had two main frustrations. One is right when a storyline was getting really intense, they would switch to a different one that no one gave two sh t about.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: But then they would, like the two

>> Darin: actors, the dude and the girl who were on that 21 Jump street show.

>> Mike: And then they would stick with that, and then that would start to get good, and it would be right at a cliffhanger. And then they would switch to, another two that you don't give anything. And I.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: So I actually. I'm not even watching it with them. I just listening to it, and I feel a groan of disappointment, everything that happens. And the other is. And I'm sorry for any Walt and his dad fans, but every time the dad and his son Walt are in a scene, it's Walt Dad, Walt Dad,

>> Darin: Walt dad, is a little kid

>> Mike: with the dog and his dad.

>> Darin: Is he the one who disappeared?

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And then shows up, like.

>> Mike: Then it would switch over to him at, like, the end of the episode. Like, well, the first 15 minutes of the next episode is gonna be, Walt Dad, Walt Dad. And then there was a scene with them where they found each other. And then Walt's sliding off of a thing. and, his dad's trying to. I don't know his name. I just know him as dad. His dad's trying to hold his hand.

>> Darin: Is it Jim?

>> Mike: I don't know Jim.

>> Darin: It's Jim.

>> Mike: And they're still screaming at each other.

>> Darin: Dad, Walt Dad.

>> Mike: It's like, it had to have been an inside joke with the script writers. That's a J.J. abrams joint.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: That had to have been an inside joke. Every time the scene shifts to Walt and Dad, it's just, Walt Dad, Walt Dad, Walt Dad, Walt dad for 10 minutes.

>> Darin: So I know it's a TV show. Don't send me an email. Because it's like, okay, not everything is really possible. But there's this great video on YouTube, 10 minutes of what about this. How come this happened? Why wouldn't they be able to do this? How come we weren't able to do that? And I'm like, oh, my God. There were so many, so many unanswered questions about Lost. But I remember Watching season one because my buddy Greg Hauser told me. I told her, hey, Libby and I are watching Lost. He goes, oh, it's a great show. I'm like, I don't know what everybody's talking about. I don't know where this whole. It doesn't make any sense, and I don't understand any of it. He says, oh, wait till you get into season two. And I said, okay. And damn if he wasn't right. Yeah, season one made all the sense in the world. Season two. Hey, what happened? Huh?

>> Mike: What? I would say the. The best part of Lost wasn't even on Lost. It was on the office when they were going to the warehouse, and Dwight turns the camera and said, remember in Lost when they went to meet the others and they just go down to the warehouse? Well, best part of it.

>> Darin: Well, one of my favorite parts is when Conan o' Brien was hosting the Oscar, was hosting the Emmy awards. And he did the video open, and he winds up on the beach, and he's climbing up there, and he sees Hurley. He says, hey, can you tell me how to get to the Emmy Awards? And early says, oh, man, we weren't even invited to that this year. I don't know what to tell you, but one of the most ridiculous things that ever happened and Lost was a guy had drowned, and they pulled him out of the water, and they were on a raft in the middle of the ocean, and they were doing CPR on a guy on a raft.

>> Mike: Yeah. Ah.

>> Darin: And you, Libby. It's like, Libby's a nurse. She's CPR trained, folks. And she said, you can't do that. You just, can't do that.

>> Mike: It's funny how anytime there's a movie or a show, you'll pick up on one thing that's impossible. Because I remember Return of the Jedi always bothered me. because there was. I would say, well, Luke's lightsaber isn't really hitting all these things.

>> Darin: No.

>> Mike: And it bothered me.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: A lot.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And then it bothered me even more when the special editions. The special editions came out. I was like, Lucas could totally make something. Put something there to show that he's hitting.

>> Dave: Yeah.

>> Mike: And he didn't.

>> Darin: No. No, he didn't.


Last week's episode was edited at Chris Michael's house

I wanted to mention last week's episode. If you enjoyed that, there may be a special reason why you enjoyed that. That episode was edited at Chris Michael's house. Oh, why did I edit it at Chris Michael's house? Well, because they sometimes, occasionally will go out of town or they'll go Visit relatives or they will, they won't be home. And, and they, I have, I have a gig of their house and they let me come over and I let out their dog Sadie. So there was one particular night where Jacob was at work, Cameron was at work. Libby was out drinking or something. I don't know what she was doing. I, ah, had the house to myself and I was going to edit the podcast. I'm like, you know what? I'm just going to go over to Chris's house and I'm going to edit the, the podcast over there. So I go over there with the laptop and I'm sitting at the table and their dog Sadie is like, what's going on? What are you doing? Because usually I let her out, I give her her food and water and I scratch her ears and I say, she's a big sweetie and she's a good girl. And I scratch her tummy and she goes, potty pot. And then I let her back in and I kiss her on the head and I say, good girl. And then I go. Now she's like, you're not going. You're staying here. And she sat next, next to me and looked at the front door the whole three hours that I was there. Like, like she was guarding the door. She was going to kill if anybody came and tried to, attack me. Right.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: So it was, it was pretty sweet. And anyway, so I edited the episode at his house and I, I went home and saw, the family and everything. Well, they usually leave the lights on. Okay. For, for Sadie. If m. She's going to be there by herself. I came over the next day, all the lights were off. I m. Didn't turn off the lights. Now a normal person would think maybe they turned them off with the timer because as you know, Chris, he's got everything wired. His mailbox is rigged. If you open up his sock drawer, it says, someone's pulling out your black socks.

>> Mike: See, if I were watching his house for him, I'd teach him a lesson. I'd walk around pantsless the entire time.

>> Darin: Oh, I did.

>> Mike: Because, you know, he's got cameras everywhere.

>> Darin: Yeah. Oh, yeah.

>> Mike: Let's burn the retinas out on those things.

>> Darin: Exactly. So I, when I went back over there, I got nervous. I'm like, is there a squatter over here? I thought the mind was playing tricks on me. Somebody could have come in through the garage.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And, just ran upstairs while I was letting Sadie out in the backyard. And so, so stupid dumbass me. I had to go check to see if there was a breaker. I couldn't find the breaker box in the house. And then I, like, poked around a little bit upstairs. So if that alarm triggered. That's why I did that, to make sure ain't nobody sleeping in his house. But I finally. I should have just texted him to begin. I'm like, did you guys turn off the lights? And about 10 minutes later, yeah, we did that. I'm like, okay, thanks for letting me know. I thought you had freaking coming

>> Mike: over with a golf club and a butcher knife, ready to attack whatever comes out of the shadows.

>> Darin: Like when Rick slept in that house on that episode of the Walking Dead, I thought maybe. Yeah, that's.

>> Mike: That goes everywhere.

>> Darin: Jesus. One more story about Chris Michael, and then we're going to read graduation names.

>> Mike: Oh, sure.

>> Darin: This is so horrible. The next episode, 314 is gonna be so much better.

>> Mike: Yeah, of course. Yeah.

>> Darin: I was at Costco, and we've got a party coming up, and we're, gonna serve taco bowls at the party. It's a graduation party. And so I. I thought I'd buy some supplies. And I bought some napkins. About 8 million napkins in a box. And we're going to use all the napkins, but I bought some plastic spoons. And you can only buy plastic spoons in a box of 500. And Libby's like, why did you buy all the spoons for the party? And she's, darren, we're gonna need like 30 maybe, but they don't spoil.

>> Mike: That's true.

>> Darin: The spoons will never go bad.

>> Mike: That's right.

>> Darin: We'll always have them. Where are we going to keep them?

>> Dave: Ah, all.

>> Darin: Well, we'll keep them in the garage. We'll keep them, under the bed. We'll keep them. I'll find a place, I'll move some stuff around. We'll sell one of Jacob's old bicycles and we'll put the spoons there. She was going to return them. And I said, libby, do not return the spoons. She says, why? I said, because I have more spoons than Chris Michael, and by God, we're keeping the spoons.
