Episode 299 of Irritable Dad Syndrome finds Mike and Darin celebrating the end of the 200-episode era while sharing stories about seeing Nine Inch Nails live, revisiting classic comedy movies, and dealing with one of the most shocking plumbing quotes imaginable.
After attending a powerful Nine Inch Nails concert in Columbus, the dads debate the lasting impact of Trent Reznor’s music, the legendary Johnny Cash cover of “Hurt,” and the strange experience of hearing songs live that you never appreciated on the album.
Meanwhile, Darin discovers his basement water heater is leaking—which leads to an unbelievable $11,000 quote from a plumber before a second opinion saves the day.
The episode also includes:
A revisit of the Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor comedy Stir Crazy
Listener questions about hot dogs, Elvis, and U2
Reflections on nearly five years of podcasting
As Episode 300 approaches, Mike and Darin reflect on how Irritable Dad Syndrome has become a running diary of their lives—one ridiculous story at a time.
Listen now and get ready for the milestone 300th episode next week.
