>> Darin: I wish I could stop stammering.

>> Darin: And I'm not screwing around.

>> Mike: No. And you need to hear it to understand what happens in this episode. You'll be left behind.

>> Darin: That's right. And normally we don't have any. What's it called, a, requirements.

>> Mike: No. ongoing storyline, that is.

>> Darin: But no. It's like when somebody at the end of an episode is a cliffhanger. We normally don't have cliffhangers.

>> Mike: No. We go out like Tony Soprano at the end of Sopranos every time.

>> Darin: What happened in last week's episode stuff? Because I have no idea what you're. Hello, I'm Darren.

>> Darin: Okay. So, yeah.

>> Mike: a long time listeners will. Will remember the great pancake fight where she kept taking the. The good.

>> Darin: She always takes the good.

>> Mike: Well, now we had a fight about mugs. And I think 99% of our audience, is going to be on in this one.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: And probably Libby will be against me, but other than that.

>> Darin: Well, duh.

>> Mike: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I want to talk about. We. Last night we saw the Minecraft.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: The Minecraft.

>> Darin: The Minecraft movie. Okay. And I am going to talk about how I realized that I need to just stop talking to people when I'm out in public and there's. There's a reason for it.

>> Mike: Can you make Me, one of those people you don't talk to on m.

>> Darin: Public and never see you out in public way.

>> Mike: You saw. We saw you in the bathroom.

>> Darin: That's right.

>> Mike: Weird places. Yeah.

>> Darin: And you look like a stalker.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: You look like you were there to kill me.

>> Mike: That's how I go to Kroger. Did I have the hoodie?

>> Darin: You had the hood on. Yeah. You really didn't listen to last week's episode. You were in it.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: Yeah.


Did you get your taxes done this year? Yeah, I did

>> Mike: All right.

>> Darin: How you been? How you doing?

>> Mike: I'm all right, I'm good. this last.

>> Darin: Sorry.

>> Mike: Did you get your taxes done? It's April.

>> Darin: Oh crap, that's today. Yeah, I'll do that real quick after we're done recording this podcast.

>> Mike: Like four hours.

>> Darin: Yeah, I did.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: It came with a, couple hiccups.

>> Darin: last year we had a few hiccups.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: And actually our accountant ended up giving us our taxes for free.

>> Mike: No.

>> Darin: Because of the hiccups that we incurred.

>> Mike: That would have been nice. Just filing our taxes was a substantial amount. Yeah, I was, I was looking at it because we. Yeah, it's a long story that I'm not going to get into here.

>> Darin: Well, Mike, you know, Mike and I are podcasters, so. With all the money that rolls in here, Mike falls into a different tax bracket.

>> Mike: Yeah. So, yeah, yeah. It's the two cents. You know, last year, I will tell you this, last year when I was doing the taxes, because we do get some income, but the expenses outweigh what comes in.

>> Darin: It's true.

>> Mike: So last year when I did my taxes, you know, TurboTax is very helpful and I know that they have people on their staff.

>> Darin: TurboTax called you up and said, no, bruh, no, sorry.

>> Mike: Basically. But they do it a nice way. You know, they're not gonna come right out and say, bruh, what are you doing? But it, it popped up a little window. It said, sometimes what we consider hobbies aren't really businesses. It literally just, it was like, like.

>> Darin: Happy thoughts with Jack.

>> Mike: Like. Yeah. thoughts with real thoughts with Jack Handy or whatever that was. Yeah. And it said, would you like to know more? Of course. Yeah. I clicked no more. And it said, you've progressively taken losses with this venture. Is it possible that this is being done solely for fun and your own enjoyment as opposed to a legitimate business? I'm like, I would prefer if it would have just come right out and called me some four letter words. Yeah. That, it being nice and it being a machine doing that could it.

>> Darin: Really be more of a hobby.

>> Mike: It literally said that I had a.

>> Darin: Button taking a dive for the past five years.

>> Mike: We. Because our taxes are weird. we've got stuff with West Virginia and different. So we have to file in West Virginia and Ohio.

>> Darin: That's right.

>> Mike: And the federal. We always get, like, the top turbo tax. You know, the one that's just under. You know. Do you own NASA? Yeah, that one. And there's always a little button. You know, ask. It's somebody different every time. Like a real tax professional, but they have, like, a little picture.

>> Darin: Oh, yeah.

>> Mike: And it's like, you know, ask Kara or Ask Ted, you know, and you could click them. And I almost clicked Ted to say Ted. Really? Really? You guys are coming at me for my podcast.

>> Darin: Uh-huh.

>> Mike: But anyway, got the. Finally got the taxes done.

>> Dave: You're listening to Irritable Dad Syndrome, Cincinnati's comedy podcast.

>> Darin: Phyllis, this is not funny. This is not funny.

>> Mike: Well, technically, it is toilet humor, which you claim to enjoy.

>> Darin: It is not toilet humor.

>> Dave: It is toilet tragedy.

>> Darin: Was it red?

>> Mike: No, it's black. Oh, like black vinyl.

>> Darin: Like. Oh, like a normal, regular, everyday vinyl.

>> Mike: Yeah, just like. Whatever, dude. Uhhuh. But it was, the Passengers album, and Passengers came out after pop. It's the. The band is called the Passengers.

>> Darin: Everybody knows that.

>> Mike: And it's basically you two and Brian Eno, and they did. It's music for films that don't exist. It was an experimental album. Fun fact. The liner notes have descriptions of the movies that don't exist that the music is in. And one of the pieces of music is in an actual movie.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: And that's not the movie that they describe in the liner notes. It's in Heat. Michael Mann's Heat.

>> Darin: Al Pacino and Robert De Niro.

>> Mike: Yeah, they've got a. There's a very. They play the entire.

>> Darin: Val Kilmer was in that.

>> Mike: Yeah, yeah. My favorite role of his. I know everybody loves Tombstone, but my favorite was Val Kilmer, and he. Anyway, the entire track is in there. It's when Al Pacino is going to a nightclub and he's. He's. She's got a big ass. You know that. That scene. Why'd I get mixed up with that girl? She got a great ass. And you got your head all the way up it. And I remember seeing it. It was. You know, I was like. I was in the theater, like, looking around going. It's. It's. This is you too. And everybody's looking. Nobody.

>> Darin: Nobody cares. Mike cares.

>> Mike: Mike. Anyway.

>> Darin: Nobody.

>> Mike: But that's not what. That's not why you called. That's the main reason I went there. Usually there's some Neanderthals and ne'er do wells. Thugs. Thugs who will stream. they'll put this stuff on YouTube. So even the stuff that you can't hear because you don't have a phonograph or a turntable.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: You can get on the YouTube turntable.

>> Darin: Like your quote marks.

>> Mike: Yeah. Nobody's doing that. So I actually ripped it. I'll. I'll give you a copy.

>> Darin: Thank you.

>> Mike: I'm sorry. I'll allow you to listen to that for. Under my supervision.


Mike: I've narrowed my problems down to just a few things

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: So there was a dude in front.

>> Darin: Of me at Record Store Day.

>> Mike: At the Record Store Day. We talked about this last year. You're supposed to know what you're going for when you get there.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: Only a psychopath shows up on Record Store Day and starts pulling out browsing because you have to go in one by one. You're in line, and you have to wait until the dude's done.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And usually if you're me, there's like one. One copy of the thing that you want and you don't know if it's going to be there or not.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: Meanwhile, you're waiting for Dippy Dipperton here, who's got a.

>> Darin: Really hate him.

>> Mike: Yeah, you're. You're really going to look at, What? I don't know.

>> Darin: And he's like. And he's like, do I really want this Kris Kristofferson re release?

>> Mike: He. He picks out Eddie Vedder at a solo album. And I'm like, you're wearing a suit.

>> Darin: Was it the one where he played the ukulele the whole time?

>> Mike: It's his new one. Just. Brandon just like, literally just came out. I. I came close, but I was already. I had a big. I had a big haul already. I want to make sure. I. I didn't. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to.

>> Darin: How many albums did you Get.

>> Mike: I want you to cut out at least 90% of this. Just keep the good stuff. Because this is. I'm boring myself then. Mike, why don't you shut up and let me talk about something?

>> Darin: Shut up?

>> Mike: Yeah, I think I'll shut up. I got a problem. But I've narrowed. Me and Bess have talked about this. I've narrowed my problems down to just a few things.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: Concerts, vinyl and the VI games.

>> Darin: Yeah. and then when three of the most expensive things. You narrowed it down? Yeah, I've narrowed my problems down to crack cocaine.

>> Mike: Just crack.

>> Darin: Heroin, black market.

>> Mike: Diamonds, pcp.

>> Darin: Exactly.

>> Mike: You know, only on Tuesdays.

>> Darin: Remember Bleeding Gums Murphy on the Simpsons? Do you remember him?

>> Mike: That.

>> Darin: The saxophone.

>> Mike: I never really watched the Simpsons, okay?

>> Darin: It was like season one. African American guy with the glasses and he played the saxophone.

>> Mike: But then I spent all my money on my fifteen hundred dollar a day habit. I'd like another Faberge egg, please, sir.

>> Dave: Don't you think you've had enough?

>> Mike: I tell you when I've had enough.

>> Darin: That was 37 years ago and I still laugh at that. We were in the car the other day and Cameron started laughing and I'm like, what's so funny? He goes, it's, it's stupid, dad. I'm thinking about something that happened last week and it just popped in my head. I'm laughing at it again. I'm like, dude, that's not stupid at all. That happens to me all the time. Because I said, forever ago I was watching Letterman and in his monologue he said, I went to see the Matrix and I took mom with me. And 20 minutes into it, she leans over and she said, david, where's Yoda? Here it is. 25 years later, I'm still laughing at that joke. That is a good joke.


Cameron went to see the Minecraft movie and he laughed throughout

>> Dave: This portion of our show is brought to you by Vinyl. It's making a comeback, you know. Now back to you guys in the studio.

>> Mike: So we saw the Minecraft movie.

>> Darin: Cameron went to see the Minecraft movie.

>> Mike: Yeah, it is. I was, I loved it.

>> Darin: And I will say he said it was very stupid. But he laughed throughout. It was like one of the worst movies that he really liked.

>> Mike: It was really good. I thought it was really good. It was well done. I didn't know anything about it.

>> Darin: He might not have said it was one of the worst.

>> Mike: When we, when we were driving to it, Charlie and Andrew told us about how there's a thing where people are like throwing chickens at the screen.

>> Darin: They're throwing Popcorn everywhere.

>> Mike: Rocky Horror Picture.

>> Darin: I was thinking the same thing.

>> Mike: And I did that in high school.

>> Darin: Normally just a jump to the left.

>> Mike: With your hands on. I don't spoil things.

>> Mike: But I grind things in the ground before they even happen. I'll watch all the trailers, I'll see the interviews, all this stuff. And I'm the douchebag. I'm. If I go see a movie with you, like a Marvel, movie or something, I'm holding back the entire time because I want to lean over and say, Chris Evans actually accidentally cussed in his second take. And they had to do like three takes. Stupid. Did you know that Aragorn broke his toe?

>> Darin: I did. What? Really? Yeah, yeah. You know this, this Lord of the Rings, it's based on a book.

>> Mike: It's based on the book. the guy that plays Gollum actually, got Sam. yes. Punched him because he stepped on his foot.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: and hobbits have hairy feet.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: I'm insufferable. So I try to. I try to keep it in check.

>> Darin: All the movies you and I have went to, I have never heard you say a word.

>> Mike: I know. I'm really good at. Don't make, don't make eye contact with me. If you look over and I'm look, because, you'll look over. I'll be like this.

>> Darin: And you're like, what are you looking at?

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Val Kilmer really didn't want to be called Iceman. Tom Cruise made him be called that. And they just. He's just that. Can you imagine that?

>> Darin: You don't like being looked at during the movie.

>> Mike: Yeah, it's. It's weird. Yeah. Anyway, the point is. Don't.

>> Darin: Don't look at me.

>> Mike: Andrew.


One of these times I was excited about a Marvel movie and I said

One of these times I was excited about a Marvel movie and I said, do you want to see the trailer for, I don't know what, Magic Mike 3 or whatever the hell it was?

>> Darin: The book was better.

>> Mike: The guy. The guy that throws circles at people.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And what, the, with the cape? Magic dude with the rose. He makes spinny circles.

>> Dave: Oh.

>> Mike: Dr.

>> Darin: Strange.

>> Mike: He saw like 50 variations, and one of them he wins the jackpot. And.

>> Darin: Are you talking about Magic Mike or Spot in the Spider man movie?

>> Mike: No, no, no, the, flippy guy with the hood. Magic. Magic Mike. What is his name? Engelbert Humperdink. Yeah, the guy.

>> Darin: Lonnie Donegan.

>> Mike: he played the dragon in the Hobbit. Mr. Schmidt. What the.

>> Darin: What's his name?

>> Mike: M. Engelschmitt.

>> Darin: Bumber.

>> Mike: What's his name? Oh, I think I. Early on.

>> Darin: No, I want you to keep guessing.

>> Mike: Humperdiddle Ass and Frass Ingle.


Cameron M. Bennett: I had no idea Jason Momoa was in Minecraft

Harry Benedict Cumberbatch. Cumberbatch.

>> Darin: Benedict Cumberbatch.

>> Mike: Cumberbatch.

>> Darin: Which I swear is a fake name.

>> Mike: What's his name? Benedict. No, no. Yeah, but what's his character? Captain Mike. What is this guy in the Marvel movies? Yeah. Doctor Strange. Doctor Strange.

>> Darin: Doctor Spinny. He throws the circle on people.

>> Mike: You know what? Name one thing he did besides throw the circle on people.

>> Darin: Well, he's, a sergeant. He did that thing with his fingers. Hello. He brought everybody back through circles to defeat Thanos through a circle. He's Circle portal. Cameron M. Mike. A portal.

>> Mike: My point is. Okay, we've gotten way off the point. Andrew's like, I don't want to watch the trailer for it. I don't want to have anything spoiled. Like, that's.

>> Darin: That doesn't spoil.

>> Mike: Why would you want to not see the trailer?

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: And I pondered for days, Months, Years. Years. Weeks. And then. So with Minecraft, it wasn't my idea to see it. It was Bess's idea. Let's all go watch Minecraft. I didn't know jack about it. I knew it was about minds and it was about crafting and we went. And that made the movie so much more enjoyable. I had no idea Jason Momoa was in it. And they show his character from, like, behind and different angles.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: And I remember thinking, that's gonna be hilarious if that's Jason Momoa. And it turned around. It was him. And I cackled.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Is the only one that laughed at that part. When he turned around and looked at the camera, I was like, that's awesome.


Stu: I like to piss people off on the Internet

So many great one liners. And Stu, I can see why. It's the Rocky Horror picture. Whatever. It's like people were shouting out line lines at it. There was like a gaggle of drunk 5 year olds behind us.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And they were yelling lines out to it. But I, highly, highly recommend it.

>> Darin: Yeah. Movie theater owners aren't thrilled.

>> Mike: Yeah. Jack Black had to come out and do a public service announcement. Yeah.

>> Darin: They're like, well, somebody else has said, why are you spending $14 on a bucket of popcorn and then throwing it.

>> Mike: Yeah. Someone throw a slushy.

>> Darin: Yeah. Oh, no, don't do that. Yeah. no, it ain't the same as when we went to see the Rocky Horror Picture show in high school. Because you could buy a bag of rice for a dollar twelve.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Okay. You throw that and you're good to go.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Bring your squirt guns. And squirt guns at Rocky Horror Picture show were fine as long as you weren't one of those. Who's squirting it at the screen. Okay, guys, go back in time, see the Rocky Horpeter show, and don't squirt water at the screen.

>> Mike: Yes.

>> Darin: Don't squirt it at the screen.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Hey, I've started having some fun, some real fun on the Internet because.

>> Mike: Oh, Internet.

>> Darin: Remember when I told you, you know, I like to piss people off on the Internet. Like when I was talking about David Lee Roth music. Whatever. Yeah, I've been pretty good. I've started doing. And this is. You can do this on any comment, but it's best to do it on comments where people are arguing. So if you say somebody's talking about the, album Back in Black and then inevitably someone is going to say, Bon Scott was better than Brian Johnson. Which one? He's not. Two. It's like that argument goes absolutely nowhere because Bon Scott is no longer with us. And it's not really an argument worth having because Brian Johnson joined the band and they became. Back in Black was like one of the best. Are the best albums by a second singer of all time.

>> Mike: Is he really Tom Jones?

>> Darin: No, no, he's. No, he is. He is not.

>> Mike: No.

>> Darin: I think they know each other.

>> Mike: I think Andy Kaufman and the piano guy.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: M like that.

>> Darin: He's not. But what I've started doing is making obvious comments on these posts. People started. Bon Scott was better. Brian John was better. I'm like AC DC they did highway to Hell. Click send. I was on Someone who's talking about the Avengers and, And the Avengers hasn't been the same since Endgame and they screwed it up and Disney plus is horrible and they're ruining this. Chris Evans played Captain America. Click send. Right? And I love this. At every opportunity I can get, I do that. And sometimes the post will be about, biscuits and gravy. And I'll say Diana Ross was lead singer of the Suprem in Do people.

>> Mike: Get all frothy every now and then? Yeah.

>> Darin: Ah, yeah. Making obvious comments is just fun. And I challenge you to do that. A fan of the show, sent me a message the other day, says, you were right about that soup lovers club. The soup lovers group posted this recipe for like, ambrosia salad. But when I was on that, I would. Everyone was like, sitting there talking about soup. I'm like, I like Soup sending.

>> Mike: Yeah, yeah, yeah. They started pissing like AI images of a grandma saying, I miss my kids. And she's holding a soup with an apple in it.

>> Darin: Soup with an apple soup.

>> Mike: Apple soup.

Mike and Larry had a new argument about coffee mugs

Now back to Mike and Larry.

>> Darin: So you and Bess had a new argument about coffee mugs?

>> Mike: Yeah. Yeah. About coffee mugs. She.

>> Darin: Okay, Mike Odle, everybody. Thank you. You're welcome.

>> Mike: She said.

>> Darin: Cincinnati's comedy podcast.

>> Mike: By the way, I'm on to you and what you're doing with the mugs. So this intrigue, this big, this piqued.

>> Darin: My interest, you know, the gig is up.

>> Mike: The gig is up. And then I said, the hell are you talking about? And she said, I just didn't know that you cared that much about them. I'm like, what is this? And then I said, is this about my Indiana Jones mug? Uh-huh. And she laughed. And she said, yeah, you put it up in the cabinet where I can't reach it. And. And I said, you're damn right. Well, it's my Indiana Jones mug. And I am the only one that can drink out of the Indiana Jones mug. And she said, why? And I said, I'll tell you why.

>> Darin: Because I'm the man. No, okay, okay.

>> Mike: I mean, that's understood.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: The. The reason why. Is because that mug is priceless. I've tried to buy another Indiana Jones mug and I can't find one. Now this mug has been through multiple. Through years, 10 plus years of dishwashing and has never faded.

>> Darin: No kidding.

>> Mike: Indy is still on there.

>> Darin: Wow.

>> Mike: Raiders of the Lost Dark logo is still on there. The handle is a whip. And then it coils around the whip at the bottom.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: And it's not that the mug hasn't been used. Oh, I've drank my fair share.

>> Darin: Drank from the mug of Indiana Jones.

>> Mike: From the Indiana Jones mug. And then I noted months ago that Bess started to use the Indiana Jones.

>> Darin: Did she ask your permission?

>> Mike: And she would leave it upon the couch. She likes to enjoy her coffee while on the phone on the couch. And she will sequester the mug right at the Corner and then occasionally will leave it there for anyone to come through. With a mallet, a baseball bat, with the illness and destroy the Indiana Jones mug. M. And she said, well, who? No one's gonna break the Indiana Jones mug. And I said, I thought that until someone broke one of my rogue one mugs.

>> Darin: Yeah, yeah.

>> Mike: Smashed it.

>> Darin: Nobody means to break no mug. Yeah. But when you leave it out in the middle of traffic.

>> Mike: Ah. So I said, why don't you just.

>> Darin: The only person of a building, the.

>> Mike: Only person that's going to break the Indiana Jones mug is me, Mike Odle. And she laughed and she said, why does it matter if you break it? I was like, because I bought it, it's my mug. And if I decide that it's time for it to go to the great mug cabinet in the sky, then that happens. And if I'll be heartbroken, I'll pick up the pieces, I'll weep, I may try to glue it back together, but it won't be the same.

>> Darin: No.

>> Mike: But I said, if any of you, you Charlie Marbles, Booba, any of you.

>> Mike: Breaks that mug, it's over. Yeah, Done.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: If it's a kid out of the house, done. I don't know where you're gonna live. Go talk to Cameron. Yeah, maybe you guys can do a poop pick up poop in the Durban's yard if they let you, which they won't. and I said if you, if you break it, I don't know what we'll do. I mean we'll have to. I don't know what we'll do. I don't know what we'll do. Yeah, so yeah, you're not allowed to touch my mug.

>> Darin: And so you pulled the you're not allowed to phrase in this house to your wife.

>> Mike: She said, why did you pick that cabinet?

>> Mike: And I said, because that's where, that's.

>> Darin: Where you put the bugs.

>> Mike: That's where the peeps are.


Darren McKay has a collection of thousands of coffee mugs

No, it's a separate cabinet. It's with the peeps. If you want to know, if you know where my most treasured mugs are, look for the peeps.

>> Darin: Look where you're.

>> Mike: There's the mugs. And she laughed and she said, well, that's probably a good place because no one in this house is gonna go for the peeps but you. And I said, yeah, right. And it's not just the Indiana Jones mug, it's my Death Valley mug, of which I have two. One of which I wanted to buy at the gift shop, and I didn't when I was there. And then I thought, I should have bought that. And you can't order it online. I had to call their gift shop in Death Valley and talk to the guy and guide him through the store. He's wonderful. And he sent it and he signed a little thing and it was like.

>> Darin: 114 degrees outside when he did.

>> Mike: Yeah, it was crazy.

>> Darin: That has to do with it.

>> Mike: They grow the mugs in the desert.

>> Darin: That's right.

>> Mike: And then they pick them and they bring them in.

>> Darin: Well, they don't really grow them, but they do. They bake underground.

>> Mike: Yeah. the mugs are made in Minnesota and then shipped out the Death Valley. But that's not the point, Darren. The point is I have that mug and if it breaks, I'm not going to call that guy again. What am I going to tell him? My kid broke that mug.

>> Darin: I mean, you could tell him.

>> Mike: And then she said, well, you let us use the New York mug. And I said, yeah, the I heart New York. Like, look at the heart. It's pink. M. It was cherry red. M when I bought it. It's pink now.

>> Darin: I think the kids are rubbing the heart and they're rubbing the paint off of the mug. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

>> Mike: So I say, that's not going to happen to Indie. Not going to happen to my YouTube mugs. It's not going to happen to my Death Valley mugs.

>> Darin: I don't use any of my collectors mugs.

>> Mike: Well, there I. And we went there too. She said, there's some mugs I've never seen you use. I said, yes, and no one shall use those mugs.

>> Darin: And let me tell you, because this didn't turn into a fight, by the way, Libby and I, we never fight.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: We don't argue. We never have a crossword. We never ever. Nothing ever comes betwixt us. but she did ask me one day, why do you have so many coffee mugs down here on your. On your office desk? And the twitch. I said, why does it matter? And I shot her look like, are we done here?

>> Mike: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. She said, we have too many mugs.

>> Darin: Just playing, Libby.

>> Mike: That's just. She said, we have too many.

>> Darin: Shant.

>> Mike: They shan't be shared amongst the common folk. They're for me. And yeah, there are mugs up there that I will not use until I'm in the old folks home. Right when they've wheeled me out into the porch. What's dad doing? I don't know. He's got that damn Hard Rock Cafe. I've got a Hard Rock Cafe mug that I'm going to use when I'm in my 80s.

>> Darin: So, yeah. My Late show with David Letterman mug. I will never, ever drink from it. Okay. I have a hello Deli mug that was given to me by the man whose face is on the mug.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: In my collection.

>> Mike: Yeah. I gave Bess too much credit, so I'm gonna make you mad now.


She referred to Indiana Jones as just that man. That's how she refers

Okay, So I originally I said I got your hint with the Indiana Jones mug or something along those lines. I actually wrote down, quote, exactly what she said, and I'm going to read it.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: This is how the argument started.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: And tell me that this doesn't automatically put you in a fight or flight mode.

>> Darin: Okay, Ready?

>> Mike: I'm quote, I got your hint with the mug from that show with that man.

>> Darin: The show with that man.

>> Mike: That's how she refers.

>> Darin: She referred to Indiana Jones as just that man. That man who was in a, show.

>> Mike: That man. That show.

>> Darin: Harrison Ford is not just that man. Harrison Ford you're going to get is.

>> Mike: Hung up on that. The man. It was like barbed wire. I just laid that out in front of you. You walked right into. She said it. You know, the next time we're all together, what, tomorrow or Thursday, whenever you're helping move the trampoline.

>> Darin: Oh, that's right.

>> Mike: Yeah. You get to tell her what you think about, her calling Harrison Ford that. That man. And Indiana Jones movies. That show.

>> Darin: Yeah, that. It's not a show. It's a mo. It's. It's a masterpiece.

>> Mike: Cinematic.

>> Darin: It's an experience. It's a cinematic way of life.

>> Darin: My son Jacob, his middle name is Harrison. Named after Harrison Ford. That man. Yeah, yeah. On Your mug?

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: That mug should go to Jacob from that show. Yeah.

>> Mike: Indy's not going out like that. And if it. If he does go out like that, it's going to be me that sends him there.

>> Darin: Why don't you bring that mug with that man from that show down here and put it on that shelf?

>> Mike: I like him being where the peeps. Where he belongs.

>> Darin: Okay. Every day I drink my coffee out of my Charlie brown Christmas mug. I do.

>> Mike: Even when it's not Christmas.

>> Darin: No Charlie Brown on it. It's a big mug.

>> Mike: Does it have, like, little Christmas lights around it?

>> Darin: It's got him standing there in his little. With the little, little tree. It's a red mug, and he's got his little Christmas, outfit on and everything.

>> Mike: Yeah. Do you want to borrow a mug? So you have.

>> Darin: No, I've got mugs. Oh, God, I've got so many.

>> Mike: Since you have so many mugs down there, we've.

>> Darin: But no, I've got a ton of collector's mugs, but upstairs we have a bunch of mugs.


We've had a grand total of two fights about mugs

>> Darin: Years ago, when I had my first apartment in Johnson city and I started collecting mugs, I had them stacked in my kitchen, and I just about lost my. Because I came in there and people had started drinking out of my mugs. I'm like, what are you doing?

>> Mike: My question is, what the hell?

>> Darin: No. We have had episodes where neither of us had any faith at all.

>> Mike: No.

Uh, I think we do have a new listener. It's the dude that got us popcorn at the movie theater

I think we do have a new listener. So last week's episode would have been released today, which means he's probably April 15th. First one you listen to. It's the dude that got us popcorn at the movie theater. I wore my, Oh, don't ask me. I'm an idiot. And something funny.

>> Darin: Yeah. Yeah.

>> Mike: I don't even know our own things anymore. I don't think it's funny.

>> Darin: Don't ask me. I'm an idiot and I think it's funny.

>> Mike: What's the thing? What's the thing. It's stupid because you're looking at it. What is it called? What? Oh, my God.

>> Darin: You keep going.

>> Mike: I can't believe it.

>> Darin: In my defense. In my defense, I thought it was funny.

>> Mike: I think I, like, don't blame me.

>> Darin: Don't look at me, because I think it's funny. Okay.

>> Mike: I can't believe it's not funny. Anyway, it had the, QR code. And he said, what. What does that go to? And it's like, goes to my podcast.

>> Darin: I was like, really? Yeah.

>> Mike: And he pulled out his phone, and he's like, Irritable down syndrome. And he guffawed while he went to go get our popcorn. And Bess looked. Andrew, looked at me like, you know, his dad is James Hetfield or something. It's like, there you go, bud. I'm famous. And then Bess looked at me. She's like, he's going to listen to your podcast? Like, probably not, but he at least knows that it exists. And then he came back and he said he was going to check it out.

>> Darin: Well, back when in the day, a few years ago, when you and I went to see Louis, Louis cfk, you were asking me about my job, and I was telling you about, you know, what I do with my classic TV job. And this guy who looked like a biker turns around, goes, how come you guys don't do promos for the Golden Girls? And I said, because we don't air the Golden Girls. And, God, I wish we did. So, yeah, he started chatting me up about the Golden Girls, and then he listened to us for a while. Yeah. And I wonder if he's still listening to us.

>> Mike: Yeah, probably not.

>> Darin: I don't know.


We're getting more and more people overseas listening to our podcast

But I noticed I was looking at the stats for our podcast. Yeah, we're getting more and more people overseas listening to us. This is totally crazy, because. Okay, looking at the last five episodes, we have listeners in Canada, Germany, the Russian Federation, Finland, United Kingdom, France, India, Philippines, and Argentina. I'm trying to picture somebody in India sitting here listening to us talk about porcupines and peacocks.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: and by the way, if you're listening to us overseas, please drop us a line. Go to irritable dad, syndrome.com. go to our Facebook page. Irritable dad. Or Facebook, Irritable Dad. Edu, whatever. And send us a message, because I would love to hear your thoughts about this podcast. Because I can only imagine living in India or Germany or Finland and listening to us, and it's like, do you have any idea what we're talking about the stupid that comes out of our mouths.

>> Mike: We, had a fan in France for a long time. Yeah. And I was convinced it was some old lady in France that accidentally subscribed and didn't know how to get it off.

>> Darin: She just died. And then every week was like, she had it on automatic download. Yeah.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: We hired someone to do our taxes and got the call. Hey, your tax forms are ready. Come by and pick, up all the stuff. We need you to bring a check to pay for, you know, your services. And I said, okay. And the tax lady that we use is in Mason, Ohio. And it takes about a half hour to 40 minutes to get there, depending on how many red lights you hit and all that. So I'm driving out there to get the taxes I get about a mile away, and I realized I have forgotten my checkbook. So I went in and I said, I came to pick this up. I forgot my checkbook. Is there any other way that I can pay? And she says, well, don't pay with your credit card. Do not pay with your credit card. You pay with your credit card. There's a three and a half percent interest charge per dollar amount, which is stupid. And she says, just run out to the nearest Sunoco station or whatever and take out the money and, and then just come back. We'll wait. We'll wait. And I'm thinking, I don't have a debit card anymore. I used to have a debit card.

>> Mike: Debit card.

>> Darin: I used to have one, and then it expired. I just forgot to order one. And I went for so long without ordering one because.

>> Mike: How do you live? Do you.

>> Darin: What do you do?

>> Mike: Do you barter?

>> Darin: Yeah, I do. I barter. I sell tomatoes on the street corner.

>> Mike: I don't know. I have a. It's a imax.

>> Darin: I have. No, I have another credit card that takes stuff out of our check.

>> Mike: Okay. All right. Okay.

>> Darin: All right. Yeah. So I went to my bank, and I walk in and, Mike, all I had to do was say, I need to withdraw this much.

>> Mike: Uh-huh.

>> Darin: Cash.

>> Mike: Uh-huh.

>> Darin: From my thing. Did I? No. I walk in and says, oh, man. I went to my accountant to pick up our taxes. I forgot a check, and I don't have a debit card anymore, so I need to take some cash. And if you can send something. How are you? What's going on? Whatever. Strike up a conversation with this guy. He's chatty. Yap, yap, yap.

>> Mike: Huh?

>> Darin: And I told him, I said, the reason, I Was like, I was gonna just pay with my credit card, but there's a three and a half percent interest fee on it. Three and a half percent? That's outrageous. I'm like, I know. And so he stops me, he says, you know what? We ought to get them. He says, hang on. And he goes in the back room, comes back out with this business card.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: If you could recommend this company, they could handle all of those charges for, like, I think, two and a half percent.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: Like, why am I going.

>> Mike: Did you join an MLM while you're in the bank?

>> Darin: I don't know how that means. Why am I going to take this credit card?


So that my accountant, uh, could charge less m for credit card payments

So that my accountant, could charge less m for credit card payments.

>> Mike: M. This.

>> Darin: I don't have a horse at this race, Right? Yeah, but so I'm talking about people who charge a lot. And I'm like, when was the last time you bought concerts tickets? And he had no idea that Riverbend charges per person parking, fee. If you go to Riverbend Music center here in Cincinnati, Ohio, four of you go. All four of you pay to park. And he said, that's outrageous. I said, I know. And I'm just talking and talking. I'm like, darren. Yeah, Shut up.

>> Mike: yeah, just stop talking.

>> Darin: Get your money.

>> Mike: Uh-huh.

>> Darin: He didn't need to know why I needed the money. He didn't need to know about Riverbend. He didn't need to know any of that stuff. But I'm just, blah, blah, blah.

>> Mike: Do you think you're naturally like that, or do you think this podcast has turned you in?

>> Darin: No.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: That's why I jumped at this. I'm like, I love talking because I.

>> Mike: Think this podcast has made me into one of those guys, because I'll do the same thing. I just need to go get a snow cone. It's like, man, I was over there. It's been hot all day. Can you believe how hot it is? How hot is it with all the mosquitoes? Mosquitoes?

>> Darin: Oh, I hate the mosquitoes.

>> Mike: Hey, give me a grape. And you know, all I really do is got to say, get.

>> Darin: The last time I got one of these, and I got sunblock. All it. Have you ever drank sunblock?

>> Mike: Oh, yeah.

>> Darin: I hate when that happens.

>> Mike: Yeah. Banana boat's the worst.

>> Darin: Tropicana. It smells like coconut. Like, it don't taste like coconut.

>> Mike: More like Tropicant. What the hell have we jumped the shark? Was that. It was at the farms. There's nowhere to go. Oh, we got one From Cali.

>> Darin: Like Trump. I can't. Don't get me started. Who are these people?

>> Mike: More like banana. Don't. Jesus.

>> Darin: Okay, hold on a second. this is the first time I've had to wipe tears out of us.

Frank: We have an argument that we haven't had yet

Now back to the show.

>> Mike: We have an argument that we haven't had yet.

>> Darin: What's that?

>> Mike: You haven't argued with me yet.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: Am I supposed to you. Yes. Well, you're supposed to at least ask. What the. Frank? you asked me because we had a technical issue wherein we recorded our podcast. Yes, but it sounded like we recorded it from the inside of a tuna can.

>> Darin: Well.

>> Mike: While the nuclear war was going on outside. And then you offered, hey, let's rerecord that on a Saturday night. And I said, I can't.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: Because we're going to see, a band, the Dublin. The Young Dubliners. Yeah. And then you probably saw later that I didn't go see the band. Go. No, because I, I don't know that.

>> Darin: You know this, but I don't hang on everything that you do or don't do something.

>> Mike: I did something. I posted something. I, I put. Oh, I posted up to any. If anybody's interested in these tickets or something. I posted them on Ticketmaster.

>> Darin: I didn't see that.

>> Mike: which, by the way, if you ever buy tickets and then you try to sell them through Ticketmaster, just burn them. Just burn them. Just whatever just. It does, you're not going to sell.

>> Darin: You're better off just throwing them up in the air and hoping someone Finds them on the ground.

>> Mike: My favorite thing about it, I've done it twice, and both times they didn't sell. They will tell you.

>> Darin: Oh, my God. It was like trying to find a. When you were trying to get rid of those Atlantis Morissette tickets.

>> Mike: Yeah. Ended up going, yeah, and I had a, seat to put my beer in. But when you try to sell them, they say, it said in this one, most tickets are selling between 31 and $35. I was like, yeah, okay, I'll sell it for that. So I picked 31 and said, you can't sell these tickets for less than $73. Like, well, why did you tell me that? Yeah, why did you tell me? So I was like, nobody's going to buy them for 73. So I just. I clicked and told it 73. And he's like, we'll get right on it. I just told Bess, like, we just burned all that money.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: The reason is I did not feel well. I, didn't do anything that night. I. I did not feel. But then I. I told Bess. I was like, I posted this on Facebook. It's just a matter of time before Darren's like, why? You could have done the podcast. And I was getting ready to tell you that I was ill and I didn't feel well. And you never. We never had that. We never had that interaction.

>> Darin: Oh, I'm sorry.

>> Mike: And then you just came in the next Tuesday, like everything's normal.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And we never had that argument.

>> Darin: So you're hoping that I was just like, hey, what happened?

>> Mike: I was reared up. I was ready to go. I was ready to slam my hand on the table and say, look, dude, I was sick. I'm not here at your beck and call just because you want to do it on a Saturday night. Yeah. I had concert tickets and I paid to not see this band. That's how sick I was. We had front row seats right in front of the stage. We could have reached out, boop, and fist bump the dude, the young, the ukulele player, or whatever the hell. The bad guy.

>> Darin: Seamus joined the group, though.

>> Mike: And then you never said anything, so I had all that energy ready to go, and it's. It just never went anywhere.

>> Darin: That upsets me that you were just ready to fight me.

>> Mike: I.

>> Darin: Why do you have all this pent up rage against me? I'm your friend.

>> Mike: Fight is a strong.

>> Darin: You and I are like brothers.

>> Mike: Fight's a strong word.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: I attack you. I was ready to attack you.

It was in the 80s, I believe. And they're, You can't say that they're singing because most of them are lip syncing Let It Be. And I need to do more research on this, but I also don't want to do any research on this because the weirdness, the obscureness of who is in this video is worth all the money in the world.

>> Mike: Because it starts out Michael Thomas is in the video for a long time.

>> Darin: Philip Michael Thomas.

>> Mike: He doesn't. He does the solo.

>> Darin: He cannot play air guitar. He just can't. And then the girl who was on before him, she can't do it worse than he can't do it. But it opens up with Huey Lewis of Huey Lewis and the News, standing next to Jason Alexander, who is George Costanza on Seinfeld.

>> Mike: I'm not treating you to lunch anymore. You had to tell Julie that I made a special point of telling you that I bought you the big salad, didn't you?

>> Darin: And Huey Lewis, his mouth is moving, but that's not Huey Lewis singing Let It Be.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And then Jason Alexander starts lip syncing Let It Be. And then it goes to, like, Sherilyn Finn. There's a lot of Norwegian actors and actresses and people that I don't know. But in this video is Lou Ferrigno, who was the Incredible Hulk. Rick Schroeder, formerly Ricky Schroeder. M. The guy who played Freddy Krueger is in this.

>> Mike: Robert England.

>> Darin: Robert England, yes. Tanya Harding. Olympic.

>> Mike: I saw the. Tanya Hardy, and I was like, what? Really? Wow.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: She sounds like Kate Bush.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: And it goes on and on, and it's. And it's all green screened, and they're standing on a beach, and you're.

>> Darin: What is this? And it's amazing.

>> Mike: Yeah. And last year, is somebody hungry somewhere that they're trying to get nobody for food?

>> Darin: 1. It reminded me of when Saturday Night Live did the. That whole, gathering of artists to the. That benefit to save the free range chickens. And Michael Bolton was actually there.

>> Mike: Mr. Farmer, take that feeding too bad of that chicken.

>> Darin: And. And then what's her face, was Cyndi Lauper. And she's Michael Bolton. Looks at her like, damn, what. What was that? You know, Set the chickens free. It reminded me a lot of that.

>> Mike: Chickens free.
