>> Mike: Fun fact, top of the house warm.

>> Darin: That's right.

>> Mike: So when we had this h vac, we had this system replaced because our old one died. They just came out, and they're like, you know what? You just need a new one. I had a feeling that we needed one because the old one, it looked like it was rust, and it clanged a little bit when it came on. So I'm like, okay, that's bad. It's time, right?

>> Darin: That's Christmas carol.

>> Mike: Yeah. I said, since we're getting a new one Christmas story, and we're getting it, like, all, like, cooled up and everything, let's make sure that the top of the house, it's gets cool in the summer.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And the bottom, like, you can't. You could hang meat in this room right now.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And he went through all this explanation about how that's not going to happen and weird things that I have to do with a vent that's over there that's covered up now because who cares, right? and bottom line is, he just lied. He just lied to me.

>> Darin: Upstairs in my house is an oven.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Downstairs is nice and cold.

>> Darin: We said that.

>> Mike: Yeah. funny. Ha ha. Yeah.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Good lord. So I teasing.

>> Darin: Yes, yes.

>> Mike: we just bought a car.

>> Darin: Yep.

>> Mike: And I caused Bess to be unable to order in a chick fil a line just last night.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: Yeah, I want to talk about that.

>> Darin: And I watched pulp Fiction with my 19 year old son, and it was weird. So we're gonna talk about that before we get into all the comedy. we have, Mike and I have a very good friend. His name is Jason Durbin. He's a friend of us. He's my neighbor. He's also a friend of the show.

>> Mike: He's cool, dude.

>> Darin: He's a very cool guy.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Honest. God, you could search the world high and low, and it's hard to find a person nicer, cooler than Jason Durbin.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: So last week, Jason Durbin was in a really bad car accident. A very bad car accident. It was a head on collision. He survived. His ankle was very, very, very badly broken, and he broke his thumb. I don't know how he broke his thumb in the accident.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: But here's the thing. Jason's fine. I. He's going to be fine. He's absolutely fine.

>> Mike: He's got a vibranium ankle now.

>> Darin: Well, I was hoping he would get a vibranium ankle, but I think they just put some regular, probably cast iron skillet parts in his ankle because that's what the hospitals do these days.

>> Mike: This is 2024. He should be hopping, like, you know, with the avenger that hops on the one leg.

>> Darin: I know. You know, well, if he had gotten a vibranium ankle, he could kick a football over the mountains.

>> Mike: Yeah. Yeah.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: Yeah. Because that's what you need when you're fighting. Yes, whatever. They're fighting now.

>> Darin: But anyway, Jason, we want you to know that we're glad you're okay, buddy. And, we appreciate your friendship, and we thank you for your support on the show.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And we hope that you get better very, very soon.

>> Mike: Yes.

>> Darin: And again, very, very happy that you survived this, crash, because I know.

>> Mike: It was very scary. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

>> Darin: So good on you, Jason.

>> Dave: You're listening to irritable dad syndrome, Cincinnati's comedy podcast.

>> Mike: We just bought a car. Wow.

>> Darin: What'd you get?

>> Mike: a, toyota Highlander.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: Yeah. We pick it up on Thursday. Okay, we've talked about this before. Off the air.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: We drive cars until it's over.

>> Darin: Drive them into the dirt.

>> Mike: Okay, so I've had in my life a Buick Skylark.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: Not a. No way. I'm sorry. Skyhawk. M not a Skylark.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: I've had a Ford probe.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: I've had a trans am.

>> Darin: Oh, you had a trans am?

>> Mike: I did.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: Did 1999 with the tee tops.

>> Darin: Nice.

>> Mike: Thing was bad.

>> Darin: Yes. A lot of pickup.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Picked up a lot of.

>> Mike: No.

>> Darin: Yeah, so, like the bandit.

>> Mike: So the sky hawk I had in high school, I was in a wreck. I rear, ended the back of an suv. Well, best.

>> Darin: That's funny.

>> Mike: Best did. She yelled, there can be only one. And just in. Yeah.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: So the Skyhawk, I ran into the back of an suv.

>> Mike: And it was just never the same after that. Well, yeah, I had to use a bag of ice. I think I talked about this before. Put on the engine. That's that car.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: So we just. When I got the Ford probe, we just flat out gave that car to the neighbor. Just like, here, take it. You can have it. He got into a wreck, and what I found out was it detached like the front, came away from the back. He's fine, but, the car is not right. Okay, now I've got the probe. I had that through the end of college. After college, I got the Trans am, the 99 trans am, the, I got a real job now, and I can afford this, the chunk magnet. Fun fact, I could not in fact, afford that car, but I also kept it and drove it forever. But once I got that car, I quit changing the oil in the Ford probe.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: And it. What happens?

>> Darin: Kind of important thing to do.

>> Mike: Yeah. What happens to them is they catch, they go aflame through a rod. That's what the guy told me. Hello. He said, sounds like you threw a rod. I was explaining what happened. you ever been playing pinball? And one of them, like, it sounds like the ball dropped down and hit a wood thing, and you're like, what happened? Like I've had.

>> Darin: I've had the pinball shoot up and hit the glass.

>> Mike: Okay. Same thing.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: And that's what it sounded like. And then I saw a little temperature gauge on the car go. What? And I was like, that's interesting. I've never seen that. Yeah, I've never seen any of the dials move like that. and then I saw some smoke coming from the hood, and I did the one thing you're not supposed to do. I lifted the hood. It allowed oxygen to come in.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: A, Thou shall not, you shall not pass. Gandalf. Fireball came out, and I ran screaming down the highway.

>> Darin: I almost died. Right.

>> Mike: Was car number two okay? The Trans am, its final voyage. When we were trading it in for the minivan that's out there, I had best.

>> Darin: You traded the Trans am from minivan?

>> Mike: Yes. And I was glad to do it at that time because the way. The Trans am for your man card.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: No, but it was,

>> Darin: We used to have a minivan, too.

>> Mike: It was in such a state that when I was at red lights, I'd have to rev it to keep the engine going. If I didn't, it would die. And then, of course, so what, you know, put yourself in another person. Every time I have to pull up to a red light, I'm sitting there going, so everyone thinks it race. Yeah. Everyone thought I wanted to race. So every time I met, like, I'm going to the store, down at Kroger, it was right down. Because we lived in those little apartments there.

>> Darin: Okay?

>> Mike: Pull up the stoplight, and I'd look there be a dude. There's so many other cars that peeled out down there because of me. And then I just nonchalantly go,

>> Darin: Quick aside, I had a Ford Escort hatchback, four speed, used as much oil as it used gas. And my car had the same problem. And I would be at the red light, and I would have to do that, because if I didn't, yes, it would shake and rattle. it wouldn't roll. And people beside me would look like, are you out of your mind? It's two in the afternoon, and they think I'm trying to drag race with them in a Ford Escort hatchback.

>> Mike: I will say I miss that car. So. I m love that car so much. And. But the sound it made, just normal idling, like it sounded like an angry tiger on PCP.

>> Darin: What color was it?

>> Mike: Black.

>> Darin: Oh, yeah. And had the.

>> Mike: Had the.

>> Darin: Had the bird on the hood?

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: No, no, no. Not on the hood.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: The hood was just straight black. The bird was on the back. Okay. This is the 99 transact. This is not the Burt Reynolds train.

>> Darin: Okay. Okay.

>> Mike: It was the t tops. All black on the inside. Stick shift, six speed. No, no. All red on the inside.

>> Darin: Oh, not red.

>> Mike: Not red. Like the. The lights, the. Everything. I had a red motif. Everything else was black.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: Boy. I have dreams about the car. I have dreams about, like, driving the trip and driving. I'm getting misty. I just thinking of. I'm gonna go on. But anyway, the final. The final drill. Voyage of the Trans am. I listen to the fly from October, baby.

>> Darin: Okay?

>> Mike: And you listen to that every day.

>> Darin: So that makes sense.

>> Mike: Sputtered and died. King's Toyota. It literally died in there. But, like, I couldn't get it into a space. It died, like, in between. And I was like, they're like, could you get it up here? I was like, no, I can't. It's. This is it. They're like, okay.

>> Darin: My last car was, the Pontiac vibe.

>> Mike: And I put.

>> Darin: I put, like, 220,000 miles on.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And finally decided that, you know, I don't. Couldn't think of anybody who would actually buy it, so I was gonna donate it.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: To goodwill. And they said, yeah, bring it on by. And we've got the paperwork ready to go.

>> Mike: They wouldn't take it.

>> Darin: I couldn't get out of the drive. I had to jump it one last time. And, dude, I am so sentence. I really am so sentimental. That trip from my house to goodwill. I'm just driving, and I'm just petting the dash. Like, you're such a good car, and I'm sorry, you know, it's, like, came to an end and all that. All the great times.

>> Mike: Yeah. I was practicing all the times I.

>> Darin: Sat in the backseat eating sandwiches.

>> Mike: Yeah. You know, I still have a piece of the trans am. I have the black in Ohio. In Ohio at the time, you had to have a front license plate, and they had a cover.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: with the bird right on the front. And I have it up there, and I look at it every once in a while.

>> Darin: Pontiac trans am. Pontiac vibe. Yeah, there you go. We're the same guy.

>> Mike: Anyway, but I was glad to get the minivan. I'm not there yet.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: I was glad.

>> Darin: Join us next week, and Mike will tell us about his new car.

>> Mike: The minivan was awesome when we first got it. You've seen it. It's like 1415 years old. It's not in a good way right now. But what I wanted to talk about is the difference in the negotiating for cars.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: So I went with my dad when he bought his new truck. And this was back in the nineties. Eighties. Eighties, yeah. And I remember he haggled with it. We went in the morning at, like, seven or eight in the morning. I was a little kid. We were there all day. We didn't leave until an hour after they closed. We were there all day. Went back on, fourth on price. I need to test drive it again. I'm not really. There was a little bit of a shimmy.

>> Darin: Well, you know, they're at the factory.

>> Mike: He knocked literally thousands of dollars off the price. The dealer was tired of this.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Okay. We get all the way to the end of the financing paperwork. You know, there's, like, all these things you have to sign and all that stuff. The very last signature, he stops, and he's like, I, can't believe I have a boat. I need a. I need a trailer hitch on this. And the dealer looked at him, was like, I can't. That's. That's a $700 ad. I can't. I just. I can't do that. And my dad's like, put the pin down. Is like, Michael, let's go.

>> Darin: Oh, my God.

>> Mike: And we. Like I said. I said, are we. Are you. Are we leaving? And he's. He's walking out. He didn't answer me. And the dealer chased him out in the parking lot as my dad's getting in his truck. His old beat up truck that we know we're not going home in.

>> Darin: Bum, bum, bum.

>> Mike: Are you seriously ending this deal over $700? And my dad's like, I gotta have a hitch. And, I am not paying for it. And the guy gave him a $700 hitch.

>> Darin: Badass.

>> Mike: That's badass. Yeah. Fast forward. When we were in there for the Trans am, huh? Sticker that the guy said, this is the price. And I was there with my dad. Cause I'm like, I'm taking my dad. Fanch was there, too. Yeah. Cause Vance was an accountant. We're gonna, like, get this thing for, like, garbage deal. And the dealer literally said. He's like, I've got six people coming to look at this car tomorrow, and one of them is bringing cash.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: He's like, I don't have to sell it to you. As a matter of fact, I'm losing money talking to you right now. He's like, right now, it. Take it or not. You're wasting my time.

>> Darin: Yep.

>> Mike: And I remember looking at my dad, and my dad's like, do you want it? Yeah, this is. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was it.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: When we went to go buy Bess's Honda Civic.

>> Darin: Mm

>> Mike: I, hm. Told her, I was like, I've done this. I've seen my dad do it, everything. We sat down across from the guy, and, he said, there's the, there's the price. How would you guys want to pay for it? I'm like, can we get any money off of that? And he said, no, no. So, and then the van was similar. I was proud of the van because we didn't get the undercoat and we didn't get that extended warranty. The guy was passive aggressive with us. He's like, I mean, I've, I have the same van, and I got the extended warranty.

>> Darin: Owns every car.

>> Mike: I got the extended warranty.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: and he's like, three years in the doors. The automatic doors quit moving, and the, warranty took care, or the, extended warranty took care of it, which prompted best to say, and she, this was, it was beautiful. We didn't plan or anything. She's like, wait, are you telling us that this car is going to be bad in three years, that the doors are not going to work? And he's like, no, no, no, no. I'm just saying if. And she's like, it sounds like you're gonna thing. And I was like, I don't think we're gonna get the extended warranty. And like, he switched off. He quit being nice guy. He's like, sign there. Sign there. Sign there. It's out there.

>> Darin: Go.

>> Mike: It's like, he was done with this yesterday. We go into the dealership, all right? I go up to the thing. I'm like, he's like, there's the, there's the price, and, here's the financing. And I was like, I, tell best is like, that's like thousands of dollars less than the other place. They're doing a special over there at the, this place that we bought it from. And I forgot that taxes and all that stuff are extra, so that ate away the, the fun part.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: But we get to the end, and he's like, there it is. And he's like, you know, and I knew that people want this car, and I couldn't not get it at that price. Like, what are we gonna do? Go back to the thing that's about to explode the next time we drive it? So we ended up getting it. I did. I was proud of this. They added by accident. I'm gonna assume it was by accident.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: They added $2,000 back in because then the math didn't add up at the column of numbers. And I thought that was like, whoa, whoa. This is. This is more than what we agreed to.

>> Darin: It was like, oh, yeah, yeah.

>> Mike: I'm sure they would have caught that in finance. I'm sure they would.

>> Darin: Well, when I bought my Pontiac, five.

>> Mike: Uh-huh.

>> Darin: I was looking at a Pontiac vibe. And then in Johnson city, there's a dealership.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Called Sherwood Chevrolet. And I had driven down to Sherwood, and I was looking at. Well, I can't remember what I was looking at. I think an outback or something. I can't remember. Now. My mom used to sell cars, okay? And this was very common to happen on a lot. Occasionally, they'll leave the lights on on a vehicle, and a battery would die.

>> Mike: Okay?

>> Darin: So I was going to test drive this car at Sherwood Chevrolet. They couldn't get it to start, and they said, we. Let me go get a jumper. We'll jump it for you right now. I said, I've got to get to work, but tell you what, I'll come back.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And so they said, okay, come on back and see us.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Okay. So I'm really deciding, shall I get the Pontiac vibe? And I go back to test drive a car? Sherwood Chevrolet.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: I find the dealer. I find the guy who I had talked to. He's standing there at the front of the thing with his hands in his pockets.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And I said, hey, I don't know if you remember me or not. I was here a couple days ago. I was gonna drive that, red outback. He.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: I said, did you guys get the. Get the battery jumped on it? He goes, no, I haven't had time.

>> Mike: It's because.

>> Darin: And I thought, it's been three days. It was seriously. It's been. It had been three days. I'm surprised he remembered me. And I said, well, I was going to test drive it, because I'm really trying to decide whether I should get that car or get this Pontiac vibe that I'm looking at up the street. And he goes, well, Pontiacs are good cars. I bought three for my daughters, and I just want to go, how stupid are you?

>> Mike: I know.

>> Darin: Do you want to sell a cardinal? And I said, okay, thanks.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And I got. And I drove straight to Pontiac. Yeah. And I told them, I said, you need to thank Roy over there. Sherwin Chevrolet. And they were laughing so hard, they could hardly stand it.

>> Mike: This guy we bought from, he couldn't give a if we bought the car or not.

>> Darin: I'm just like, was that. Was that supposed to be a fit? Well, I can't. I'm not gonna buy a girl car if you're buying it for your daughters. I'm buying a car, by God, that a man drives.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Well, they. They put it. They did add a, thousand dollar. They. He's like, I'm gonna go get the paperwork together. I want you to look at this brochure for this diamond coat thing. M. And, you know, it's. It's a good deal. That's what you know about it. And then he comes back, and the price of the car is up a $1,000 because they put the diamond thing.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And I said, I don't. We don't want the diamond thing. He's like, you don't? Because, I mean, I have it on my car. I was like, okay, we don't want it on our car. He's like, all right. He just crossed it, took a thousand off. I was like, wow. And then when he left again, you know, Bess said, do we really not need that? I was like, no, we don't. Look at the 15 year old van out there.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: You know, we didn't get diamond on it. And just two years ago, the. The dashboard started to crack open just from sun damage.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: This thing is, like, beyond that. Way beyond that. So we're. We're good.

>> Darin: I wish I could have done what your dad did, but when we bought our Nissan.

>> Mike: Well, they don't care that much anymore about selling stuff.

>> Darin: I know, but it's like. So we had already moved up to the Cincinnati area. We had an apartment in Kentucky, and we needed a car. And my mom knew a guy who worked at the Nissan dealership.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Who she had bought her last two cars from him, I think. Or maybe. I don't know. So he says, you know, she told him we were in the market. He says, I will give them a good deal. And so we went. We saw him, and he did give us a pretty good deal on the Nissan.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: And, So we're gonna buy the Nissan and then drive it to. Back to the. Since Cincinnati.

>> Mike: Yeah, yeah.

>> Darin: So we buy the Nissan, and we had already filled out all the things. We signed all the paper, we did all the stuff. Then Libby was getting all the stuff out of the trunk of her old car, and we're transferring over, and they said, we've. There's two things we've got to do to the car. So tell you what. I mean, we're going to show you the showroom or the the service area, because they're required to show people the service area. I'm like, why are we seeing the service area? We don't live in Johnson.

>> Mike: We got good oil here.

>> Darin: Exactly.

>> Mike: So look at these wrenches.

>> Darin: Yeah, they come in a, phillips head, too. Yeah, a Phillips head wrench. Really?

>> Mike: We got metric.

>> Darin: Yeah. So they showed us the service area, and they showed us the other room and showed us something else. And we're sitting there, we're waiting, and we've got, like, a seven, eight hour drive. Okay. And we're just like, okay, we need to leave. Can we have our new car? This, who worked there? Another guy said, I noticed you guys have two cars out there. Yeah, we sold one, and then the. The other one's mine. And I'm following her back home, he goes, How long have you had that? I told him, he goes, do you want to trade that in? I'm like, no. Well, we could give you a really good deal. I'm like, I'm not interested in trading in my car. He goes, what if I told you that we did this? And I was like, we just bought a car. You're trying to sell me another car. And if we hadn't have already signed everything, I would have said, libby, get your purse. And we would have walked out just to piss him off. He's trying to sell me a second cardinal. Yeah, the nerve.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: God, this way. I hate, I hate going and buying cars.

>> Mike: Yeah, I know. I'm gonna. I mean, the next time we're gonna buy a car, I doubt this guy's gonna be there, cuz it's gonna be another 15 years.

>> Darin: Yeah. Yeah.

>> Mike: I would. I love buying a car from him. He just didn't care. Yeah, we're gonna take it or not. They just don't care. They. I think they just accept someone's gonna.

>> Darin: Get with the next day.

>> Mike: I, exposed you to Reddit today. That was. I looked at Reddit on this thing, and there's waiting lists for this car.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Because best wants the particular color that we got. I tried to get her to get black.

>> Darin: Mm

>> Mike: I like black cars.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: No, she didn't. she wants. It's moon dust, which is an expensive way of saying light blue. It is nice. It's pretty. It's, one of the beauties of being like we are, where you don't buy something new like that forever.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Is that when you get the new one? It's like, holy. These things have shocks now. You can look at it. This windshield wiper fluid really cleans the windshield off. Now, it actually, it makes it, moist.

>> Darin: The Honda that I have now, after dad died, I sold his house in his land and I got a pretty decent chunk of change. And I thought, you know, dad never bought me a car while he was alive. He's gonna buy me one now. So I went and I saw this Honda that I like, and, I just went and I got a cashier check. Yeah. And I just wrote the right outright. Here you go.

>> Mike: Yes.

>> Darin: This is the money. And they're like, what type of financing? I'm not financing. And I thought, I'm never going to be able to do this again, ever. Right. And it felt so good.

>> Mike: Yeah, just to.

>> Darin: Here you go.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And, but when we were test driving it, the boys are in the backseat, and I turned on the wiper fluid. They'd never seen wiper fluid.

>> Mike: Whoa. What was that?

>> Darin: Hey, what happened? Do that again. And I did again. It's like, do you have water that comes out of your car? Like, yeah, I do. I do. And then, when I was checking the vehicle out, I opened up the trunk and looked in and saw where the spare tire was.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: They'd never seen that before either. Mind blown.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And they're like, mom, mom. Yeah. Dad's car has, has a hidden compartment and water that comes out of the windows. Yeah.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: So, yeah, they still ask me to turn on the white.

>> Mike: So. So one thing we have, and we're not really concerned, but it's, you know, Charlie was with us. Charlie has been going with us every time we've looked at cars or anything. He's, fascinated with it. So he was with us last night when we were doing all this, and we talked about the. It has a safety feature with, you push the button and it calls 911 automatically and they, like, zero in. It sends gps coordinates.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: All this stuff at, Toyota helicopter.

>> Darin: Helicopter.

>> Mike: Yeah. Matt Damon drops down with a submachine gun and takes out whatever's attacking you.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And I said, what if? Yeah. I was like, what if he pushes the button? He's like, well, then they're gonna come. They're gonna come. And then I looked over Charlie in his eyes, he, like, I could tell he was.

>> Darin: I get to place the shiny candy, like, please.

>> Mike: Yeah, this, yeah, this is not, it's like, right there. It's red. It's big.

>> Darin: It's a red button.

>> Mike: It's a red button. So's.

>> Darin: And it's within kid reach.

>> Mike: Well, he would have to be up on the thing. No, but goddess. Yeah, but I was. This is Bess's car. She hasn't had a new car since the van, since 15 years. So, like, sunroof. We went. We went crazy. It's, We're excited.

>> Darin: Well, good for you.

>> Mike: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

>> Darin: Very excited.

>> Dave: Now it's time for Dave's comedy corner. I played so much misses pac man when I was a kid, I actually thought the pretzel was a fruit. This has been Dave's comedy corner, brought to you this weekend by Zipper Lube. Let zipper lube create a life of smooth and easy zipping and unzipping. Now back to the show.

>> Darin: The other day, my oldest son, Jacob, he's 19, he comes down and he says, mom, look at me. I'm dressed like a dad, not dad.

>> Mike: Yeah, yeah, a dad. A dad, yeah.

>> Darin: He had a hawaiian shirt, khakis, cargo, shorts. Okay. He had his sandals on, and he was wearing a ball cap, and he was so excited.

>> Mike: It's pretty good.

>> Darin: He's so excited. He's dressing like a dad. He goes, oh, I'm missing one thing. He goes up and comes back down. He's wearing a belt with his shirt tucked in. I'm like, now, now, cut that out.

>> Mike: There we go.

>> Darin: you cut that. I do not wear a belt with shorts. And then he goes in the refrigerator and he gets a beer. And he's just standing there holding a beer.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And he's like, so, did you see the game last week? It was a pretty good game. Yeah. It's supposed to rain. Next time. Next time you go to Knoxville, you're gonna take 75 all the way down, Jake. Okay. This is eerily.

>> Mike: Yeah, yeah.

>> Darin: And he did it for hours. And he was so happy because he acted like a dad.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: I'm like, okay.

>> Mike: He's telling you, go out and mow the lawn like a dad. Yeah, yeah. Go get my oil change like a dad. Pay these bills like a dad.

>> Darin: get on the porch and tell kids to get off your lawn. Yeah. Speaking of Jacob, he's been asking for a long time if he could watch pulp fiction.

>> Mike: I'm, excited for this.

>> Darin: Well, I. I'm sorry. It's just. It's hard, okay. It's very hard to let him watch, because I know exactly everything he's going to see here. And I know he's 19 years old.

>> Mike: Uh-huh.

>> Darin: And I don't baby him. I really don't. I've never babied him.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: But I told him, I said, okay, we can watch it, but it's gonna be weird. Okay. And there were parts where I was, like, really, really cringing the gimp. Yeah. Well, you see, here's the thing. We watched about half of it, and then I had to do something.

>> Mike: Oh, that's not a good movie to, like, stop. What?

>> Darin: We stopped right after, he takes me a while, is back home after their date.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: He was absolutely on the edge of his seat.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: With the whole, do I have to do it three times? And he was just, yeah. I'm like, okay. And so I have no idea what to do when, you know, we meet the gimp and they go, you know, into the secret room.

>> Mike: Yeah. And so you guys haven't finished it yet? We have. Okay.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: All right.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: You know that Quentin Tarantino is one of my favorite directors of all time. I got a hair up my butt the other day, and I started watching inglorious bastards clips. One just came up on TikTok. It was.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Brad Pitt as Aldo Rain. I am Lieutenant Aldo Rain. And we're going to kill nazis. Every man in my command owes me 100 nazi scalps.

>> Darin: I saw that clip, and I want my scalps. Yeah.

>> Mike: You know.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And I said. Then I just started watching, you know, with, what's. I don't know, Christoph Waltz, Eli Rothe, that's who it is. Eli Roth.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And just, beats the dude to death with a baseball bat. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

>> Darin: Well, I've told you, I'm hit and miss with Queen Tarantino. Some of those movies, I loved other ones, I just, you know, they didn't really do anything for me, but I remember I was so excited to see grindhouse.

>> Mike: That's. I've never seen that one.

>> Darin: Okay, so Grindhouse is amazing.

>> Mike: Is that the lady with the machine gun leg?

>> Darin: Yeah, she's got the machine gun leg.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And so the first part is Robert Rodriguez.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And that movie was called, I camera. But it was the first m movie was a zombie movie.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: And then the second movie was Quentin Tarantino. it was a girl who wanted to do a stunt. She wanted to.

>> Mike: Death proof. Death proof, yes.

>> Darin: She wanted to ride on the hood of a car.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Okay. And so, she's riding on the hood of a car, and then Kurt Russell starts chasing them.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And. And so that's when the danger ensues. Okay.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And my problem with death proof was every single character sounded exactly like Quentin Tarantino. Okay, okay.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And again, he does write great dialogue, uses a lot of language. Yeah, whatever.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: But the thing was, yeah. Every single person sounded like Quentin Tarantino. Now, you look at pulp Fiction, Mia Wallace doesn't sound like Vincent M. Vega, and neither does Marsalis Wallace. And nobody sounds like Jules Verne. They all had their uniqueness, but the characters did not have their uniqueness in death proof.

>> Mike: Yeah, and that's. Yeah, that's the same way with, the hateful, eight inglorious bastards. oh.

>> Dave: Please stand by. We're experiencing technical difficulties. Thank you.

>> Darin: And we're back.

>> Mike: And we're back. And you can hear me?

>> Darin: I can.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: I saw it. Twin Tarantino, 20th twentin quarantino. The quadrilateral equation.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: I watched, true romance for the first time. Most of it, I didn't watch. I didn't finish the whole thing.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: With Christian Slater.

>> Darin: I love Christian.

>> Mike: Christopher Walken. And Donnie, Pepperd. What's his name?

>> Darin: Donnie Pepper. My favorite Christian Slater movie was pump up the volume.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: Love that movie.

>> Mike: What's the guy's name that was in Hoosiers? He was the drunk guy.

>> Darin: Gene Hackman.

>> Mike: No. Dennis Hopper.

>> Darin: Dennis Hopper.

>> Mike: Yeah. Not Donnie Pepper. Dennis.

>> Darin: Dennis Hoffman. Dennis Hopper.

>> Mike: I felt like everybody sounded like Quentin Tarantino in that movie.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Christian slate. They all did.

>> Darin: Yeah. yeah, sometimes he doesn't differentiate his characters.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: So while we're mentioning Kurt Russell.

>> Mike: Yes.

>> Darin: So on the tick tock last week, there was a clip of Kurt Russell from the movie breakdown. You ever see breakdown?

>> Mike: Yes. Okay. Yeah.

>> Darin: Great movie. Fantastic movie. They show the clip where he flags down the police officer. Officer, this man has kidnapped my wife. Right. And then they search the truck and the front, wherever, and his wife's not there. And Kurt Russell's losing his mind. And I commented. I said, kurt Russell has got to be the least appreciated actor or one of the most underappreciated actors of all time.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And close to 700 people like that and agree with me. About 20 people call me absolute crazy.

>> Mike: yeah.

>> Darin: And then they're like, what are you talking about? He's really appreciated. I'm like, my point is, he should have a wall full of golden trophies.

>> Mike: And he seems like an exceptionally light, nice dude.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Like, every interview I've seen with him, he's, like, just funny and, like, humble and whatever. Yeah, yeah.

>> Darin: And I think he's one of our greatest actors.

>> Mike: Yes.

>> Darin: And I. He's. Was nominated one time for an Emmy Award when he played Elvis. I'm like, the dude he should have been nominated for Miracle.

>> Mike: Mmm.

>> Darin: My God.

>> Mike: I don't think I've seen that.

>> Darin: Oh, you haven't seen Miracle? No, the the hockey movie.

>> Mike: But we did, we did, we did, as a. Well, me best and Andrew watched the thing, I think. Charlie. Yeah, Charlie watched it with us.

>> Darin: You have to watch Miracle thing. You just got to. Yeah, I'm not a big hockey fan, but yeah. Like 6700 people agree with me. 20 people think I'm nuts. That's pretty good. Average.

>> Mike: You could get on there and say, I like to drink water when I'm thirsty and 20 people will disagree with you.

>> Darin: And then there's a few.

>> Mike: Oh, really? Yeah. Where'd you come up with that, Einstein? Awkwafina.

>> Dave: It's time now for the chick fil a story of the week.

>> Mike: We were out late, you know, dealing with this car situation so we didn't have time to cook anything. We're gonna stop at Chick fil a. Chicken fillethead, as it were.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: and I'm Bess is driving her van and I'm the passenger, which means I have idle time. And I'm on my phone while we're in the drive through the line, the line, the long line because there's always like 20 cards at Chick fil a. And she says, I'm going to start texting you the order. And, she says, I'm just doing it so that I can read the texts. When the dude walks up and asks me what I want, it's like, okay. Cuz she's getting orders from Andrew and Charlie and and me and everything. She wants to just have him there. She can read them.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: And so I'm scrolling through and I see a, meme that cracks me up. It's like, you know, like the little golden books.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: So it's one of those.

>> Darin: The ugly duckling.

>> Mike: Yeah. It's a picture of all these wild horses running. And the title of the book is, your mom's fart spooked the horses. And I just, I've gigglyed over there and, I didn't do this on purpose. Your mom farted so loud it spooked the horses. Yeah. And I always, whenever I see something I think Bess will like, I text it.

>> Darin: I do the same thing with Libby.

>> Mike: So I I do that. And I, right as I'm hitting send, I look over and she's talking to the guy and she's reading. And then I see the little tech, like little picture loading, And she's in the middle of talking, and I can see it from where I am at. And she just starts. She can't. She has to stop the order because she starts laughing. And I am over there laughing so hard, I can't breathe. And, ah, the more she can't order, the more I'm laughing. And then I hear the guy doing almost like a beaver's butthead, like, he can't even see what we're laughing at. And she keeps apologizing, which makes me laugh harder. Now Charlie's looking up. He starts laughing. It was.

>> Darin: We whole family's crazy.

>> Mike: It took forever to get through that order. And then even when they were bringing the order out later, we're still falling and could not. Could not calm down. But,

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: So from now on, anytime we're driving anywhere and we go through the drive through, I'm making sure to text mess.

>> Dave: This has been the chick fil a story of the week.

>> Darin: Libby and I finally tried to watch the marvels on Disney plus. Okay.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: I had not heard good things about it.

>> Mike: No.

>> Darin: And so I was really nervous about trying it out. And then a friend of mine who I, went to high school with, she thought is pretty good, and I respect her opinion. And so I thought, okay, whatever, we'll give it a shot. Oh, my God. Is this a bad movie?

>> Mike: Yeah. Yeah.

>> Darin: It is so bad. It's just, like, really, really bad.

>> Mike: What are the marvels? Is it like x minutes?

>> Darin: No, it's Captain Marvel. Okay.

>> Mike: Britney. Brie, Brie Larson.

>> Darin: Brie Larson, right. And I like her.

>> Mike: Named after. She's.

>> Darin: Yeah, I like her a lot. And I liked, Captain Marvel. And I thought she was good in the Avengers.

>> Mike: Who's Captain Marvel?

>> Darin: She's Captain Marvel.

>> Mike: Oh, she's Captain Marvel.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: You and I watched that movie together. Okay, so, Alison, Brie. Brie Larson. Alison Brie is another actress.

>> Mike: Yeah. Okay.

>> Darin: Brie Larson is Captain Marvel.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: She tried to fight thanos, but he pulled the power stone and clocked her.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: she's academy award winner Brie Larson.

>> Mike: She went.

>> Darin: She won an academy award for. For a movie called Room. No, she did not win for Captain Marvel. And she certainly is not even gonna be nominated for the marvel.

>> Mike: The marvel.

>> Darin: So there's, So she's Captain Marvelous on the mouse. Disney plus.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: There is a tv show called Miss Marvel.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: With this little, this, how 15 year old. I think she's 1514 or 15 year old girl.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And I believe she is from India.

>> Mike: I think I think she's in the game, right? Avengers game. And you play as her at the start. Right?

>> Darin: So she has. She found this glove or something?

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And she has, marvel power. Powers.

>> Mike: She could moonwalk.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Oh, like nobody's business.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And then there's the other chick from Captain Marvel who was, Deidre, maybe. I can't remember her name.

>> Mike: She writes the people's name down on the list for general admission into the sphere.

>> Darin: Yeah. Okay.

>> Mike: Yeah, that's what she does. No, I just listen to that episode.

>> Darin: Yeah. Yeah. so there's three people in there who have Marvel ish powers, and the first 510 minutes of the movie, they keep. I would punch you, and then I would change from Darren to, the 15 year old girl, and then I would teleport into some other room somewhere else, and they keep. What? What happened?

>> Mike: Where am I?

>> Darin: What's going on? Okay, and the movie looks like a, made for tv experience. Okay. Like, they shot for CB's.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And Libby and I are trying to watch it, and neither of us can get into it. And then Jacob comes down and two minutes into. Goes, oh, my God, this is horrible. Dude, we stopped at 20 minutes.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: Yeah. Sam Jackson couldn't save this movie. Oh. man, I don't know what's wrong with. With Marvel.

>> Mike: Have you.

>> Darin: Okay. I mean, I'm hoping Deadpool Wolverine will be good, and then maybe Captain, the next Captain Murica with Harrison Ford.

>> Mike: Have you seen the, last Deadpool Wolverine, trailer where Deadpool is saying, they bring him in, and it's one of the guys from s h I e l d or something. He's like, oh, my God, are you putting me in the universe to save the Marvel universe? And he's like, we're gonna save your precious little fifth wave that nobody cares about, or something like that. I was like, oh, they are letting him do whatever. Yeah, he's like. I said, he's like, I'm the Marvel messiah. I'm Marvel. Jesus. Oh, my. It's great. Yeah, it's hilarious. He. I mean, I'm not doing it justice.

>> Darin: But yeah, it's gonna take something. And I don't know how they. Where did it go wrong, Mike?

>> Mike: Thanos, nobody cares. After Thanos, nobody cares. What villain are they gonna do? They. They tried to bring that gigantic gigantor guy or whatever, the ocean. Kang.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: I thought Kang looked goofy.

>> Darin: Yeah, Kang.

>> Mike: And seemed goofy.

>> Darin: Yeah. Ant man three. What sucked about ant man three was that it just got really weird.

>> Mike: So you got.

>> Darin: They didn't make it fun. Like Ant man one and two, it stood out like a sore throne.

>> Mike: So in thanos, you've got a purple guy m that snaps his fingers and half of the universe dies.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Where do you go from there?

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: What do you do?

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Lex Luthor and his little green crystal. I know. He's DC. Before, we get comments. Oh, excuse me. They can't do anything with that, right?

>> Darin: I know, but, I mean, so, ant man three wasn't great. I didn't like Thor. Four.

>> Mike: I did like that. Love and thunder. I did like that.

>> Darin: Got on my nerves.

>> Mike: what other ones are there? was. There was, like, some scary ones or, like, moon night or something?

>> Darin: Moon night. I didn't like that.

>> Mike: The werewolf one, we have it. Which? Mobius. Morbius. Morpheus. Mobius.

>> Darin: I liked Mobius.

>> Mike: We haven't watched.

>> Darin: I did like Mobius.

>> Mike: Yeah. Morbi.

>> Darin: Morpheus.

>> Mike: Morbius, Morbius. I think it's Mobius. Morpheus, mo. yeah, Matrix, whatever.

>> Darin: I did like that one. But then that wasn't a Marvel movie. That was a Sony movie. Yeah, there was Marvel.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: I think the Avengers endgame was one of those moments.

>> Darin: They should have stopped. They should have just stopped.

>> Mike: They should have done a return of the Jedi like movies. They should done what return of the Jedi did. We're just done for 20 years and. Or whatever, and then you guys can come back and start playing again.

>> Darin: I mean, do you think they should have given more time in between?

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Get, like, a five year break.

>> Mike: People just got sick of it.

>> Darin: Yeah. I think it was too much. There was way too many movies.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: It's like if you miss one, you're lost. What happened? And there was.

>> Mike: And then you have to sit through the damp, tray. I got so sick of that. I was like, we're gonna YouTube it. I'm not sitting here for 15 minutes.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: Because 5000, 100 million people made this movie.

>> Darin: Right. To watch the two minute, bonus clip.

>> Mike: Yeah, yeah. And the ones from Shang Chi didn't even seem to have anything to do with anything. I don't even remember what they were. I remember, you see, like, Brie Larson walked open her fridge and there's a. Yde. Wait, who drank all the beer? And then Iron Man's taking a. He's just got a toilet paper I like. No, it didn't make any sense.

>> Darin: Well, I mean, the end of, love and thunder was Archimedes or some greek, mythology.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And then Kramer busts in Jerry. Yeah. And I thought DC was gonna take off now. They're coming back there. They're starting over. They got somebody. Somebody's came in. They got rid of Superman and. And they're rebooting Superman. again, they got the dude from.

>> Darin: Guardians of the galaxy heading up.

>> Mike: They got rid of Superman, which I really, really like. The new Superman.

>> Darin: Mmm.

>> Mike: Yeah. But he is going. The rumors are he's working on Warhammer, 40k, which is the next one.

>> Darin: Warhammer 40k?

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: What is that?

>> Mike: The show's not long enough for it. It's like you talk about geek culture, man. It's. It's the next big one. It's the next Star wars slash lord of the rings. Well, probably not there. It's a. It's a. It's a hardcore. It's, It's. It's one of those.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: There's like literally hundreds of books. And it's a tabletop game. It's been popular for decades. And it's gonna. It's. He wants to bring it to the big screen.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: the, Yeah, it's these big, like space marine guys fighting aliens and orcs and stuff. And maybe orcs in space. Shooting orcs in space.

>> Darin: Oh, I thought you said whores in space.

>> Mike: Well, that's the worth watching too. Hundred and one episodes. We didn't talk about it. We'll talk about it more next week. I do want to throw a plug in for fallout. If you're not watching Fallout, Amazon prime, you need to watch it. It is.

>> Darin: It's a tv show.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: Way better than it has any right to be. It's based off the game fallout.

>> Darin: Oh, okay.

>> Mike: it's really, really good. Yeah. They went nuts on it. highly, highly recommend.

>> Darin: I will have to check it out.

>> Mike: Yeah. Now. So we are watching it with Charlie and Andrew.

>> Darin: Mm

>> Mike: After about. At about the 30 to 35 minutes mark in the first episode, a little thing in the back of my head said, maybe you shouldn't be letting Charlie watch this.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And then at the 36 minutes mark, it was like, you definitely shouldn't let Charlie watch this. We had to fast forward a little bit. A little games of throny. And then it just went bloody as anything you've ever seen in your life. Heads exploding and everything. Your kids will be fine. Like I said, charlie's watching. It's Charlie's new favorite show. It is really good, though. You don't have to know anything about the game. It helps if you know what the game's about, but I don't play it but you don't have to. It explains everything. Okay, Walton Goggins. You know who Walton Goggins is? If I showed you a picture, you know who he is.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: He's awesome. Yeah. But really good show. So you should watch it. We should talk about next week. Who cares about Marvel? We're getting a monopoly game. Yeah. Are we getting a monopoly game?

>> Darin: Apparently so, Barbie, Margo, Margot Robbie is making a monopoly movie, and I just hope that Ryan Gosling plays the shoe. I don't know why. What they're gonna do with the monopoly movie. Yeah, they try to make a Tetris movie one time. How many board game movies they could do it.

>> Mike: Tetris movie. If they did it about the actual, like, did you make it Saturday Night Live?

>> Darin: Not last week, but the week before where, what's her face didn't want to play ticket to ride because she didn't want to be Jumanji into the game.

>> Mike: No.

>> Darin: And the guy's like, look, you. One, that doesn't happen. Two, you don't get Jumanji into the game. The characters Jumanji out of the game.

>> Mike: Come on.

>> Darin: And it reminded me a lot of the Weezer sketch with Matt Damon.
