Welcome to Irritable Dad Syndrome, Cincinnati's comedy podcast

>> Darin: I was talking to Libby and I said, I can't remember what she was complaining about, but I said, you don't like it. And then she's. She started laughing and then I said, wait a minute, what's that from? She says, where's what from? I'm like, you don't like it? She goes, I don't know. I said, yeah, you do. You've got to know you don't like it. And it's got to be like, was it Clarence? Was it one of Cameron's shows? Was it? And so as Cameron come downstairs and he came downstairs and I said, you don't like it. He says, dad, what is wrong with you? What's that from? And he says, I have no idea what you're talking about. And Jacob came down. You don't like it, dad. And they're like checking and see if I have a fever. And I'm like, that's something from something. And it's from. It's from this, isn't it? Nobody has any clue what I was talking about. Yeah. And I. For weeks I've got. You don't like it. Stuck in my head.

>> Mike: Yeah, we say it all. Me and Beth say it all the time.

>> Darin: Do you?

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Okay. Anyway, when I'm in the airport, I'm. I was on my way to Chicago and then I remembered Rockin, Rockin and rollin' and like, oh. And there I am in the airport, like, yeah, that's it. Like I had a. And people looked at me weird and I grabbed my phone and I texted Libby and I found the TikTok. You don't like it?

>> Mike: It was Yoda.

>> Darin: I said, this is it. And she was so happy. Yeah, whatever. You're sort of pitchy. Didn't like it. The last thing I wanna be remembered as is an annoying blabber. You know, nothing grinds my gears worse than some chowder head who doesn't know when to keep his big tramp shut.

Flight from Cincinnati to Chicago was canceled due to a possible maintenance issue

So I mentioned at the top of the podcast that I almost had a near death experience. I'm not going to name the airline, but I was going.

>> Mike: Near, near death experience.

>> Darin: It could have been.

>> Mike: Yee. Okay.

>> Darin: Okay. So I was going to Chicago. My company is in Chicago. And I was going up there for a business trip. And I was at cvg, which is the Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport. Okay. And we were on our flight and we are getting ready to, to take off. You know when it takes up speed.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And the thrust, over. Powers the thing. And then it. Thrust and lift and whatever. It's aerodynamic. It's science. So our plane is going down the Runway. It picks up speed, and we're going, we're going. The pilot slams on the brakes. Hey, what happened? And then we stopped going. Oh. And he said, Attention passengers, we have received a warning we may have a maintenance issue with the plane. We're checking it out right now. Please hang tight. this would be a few minutes. We apologize for the inconvenience.

>> Mike: A maintenance issue.

>> Darin: It may be a maintenance issue. So everyone's just sitting there like,

>> Mike: That'S everything from, broken plane.

>> Darin: That's right.

>> Mike: To the windshield wiper needs replaced.

>> Darin: From the wiper all the way to the. To, the rudder. Do planes have rudders?

>> Mike: They do. They actually do.

>> Darin: Okay, so it could be one, or any of those things. and then we hear at the bottom of the plane. Oh, no, no. Very loud. Yeah, it Sounds like at. In nascar, when they take the wheels off of the car and they. And they strip the bolts off and then they put them back on. That's what it sounded like, except about 50 times louder.

>> Mike: Now, as somebody who's worked in the industrial fields, I feel compelled to point out that they probably have strict instructions to the mechanics who are working on these planes to keep their mouths shut. Maybe because the last thing the passengers want to hear is somebody saying, yeah, your.

>> Darin: Your engine's about to fall off. It got all.

>> Mike: All over the damn place. You don't want to hear that.

>> Darin: The pilot comes on and says, passengers, we, we do have a maintenance issue. We're going to be going back to the airport.

>> Mike: Oh.

>> Darin: And we're going to see, what the problem is. And so we pulled, turned around, went back to the airport. And then the pilot says, we are going to deboard the plane.

>> Mike: Oh, boy.

>> Darin: Which we did. Everybody got off the plane, and we're all standing around like a bunch of jackasses, waiting to see. Waiting to hear what we have to do. The pilot comes out and tells us that there was a problem with engine one. Number one, the engine.

>> Mike: Engine.

>> Darin: Engine one.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And he said that, quote, the first one. This plane is hard broke. They ain't fixing it or it's not going to be fixed quickly.

>> Mike: No.

>> Darin: And they don't have another. They don't call it a plane. They call it an airbus. They don't have just an extra airbus hanging around. So, apologies, but everyone's gonna have to reschedule their flight.

>> Mike: Oh.

>> Darin: Because this one was canceled.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: And this is the first time this has happened to me. I'm like, well, that's just great.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: that's just really great.


Broken plane, hard broke. I am so happy that this happened while we were still on ground

Broken plane, hard broke. Now, here's the thing. I am so happy. I'm an optimistic guy. I'm a. The glass is half full. There's a silver lining on every cloud. I am so happy that this happened while we were still on the ground and not while we were in the air.

>> Mike: Yeah. Better down here than, up there.

>> Darin: Yeah. That's what you call a scare in the air.

>> Mike: Listen, okay? And I know, I know our audience, at least five of you right now, are going to the comments to point out that a plane can fly with the other eight engines or how many it has. Right. That's not the point. And it doesn't matter.

>> Darin: And who cares when one engine goes down? you know, I like using all the engines.

>> Mike: All the engines.

>> Darin: All of them. I feel that's what I paid for.

>> Mike: Here's the deal.

>> Darin: I paid for every engine.

>> Mike: Those planes are made by the lowest bidder, right? And they said, man, if we could get away with one less engine, we could have a bigger bonus this year. And then somebody says, you know, if you don't put that other engine on there, these planes are going to fall out of the sky like bricks.

>> Darin: Right?

>> Mike: Ah, all right, we'll put it on. So you can't just lose one.


Airliner cancels flight from Cincinnati to Chicago; passengers form line

>> Darin: Anywho, all the passengers that are thing got in line. They all got in line. All the passengers who are thing at our gate, okay. At our gate. All the passengers at our gate formed a line to deal with this and to reschedule their flight. And then I instantly thought, what would Libby do? Because I'm there by myself. My wife is the smart one, okay? My wife has all the passwords in a folder. She has all the websites saved in a thing. She knows she just knows how to do things. not so much.

>> Mike: So you're saying if she decided you would be just your life would end.

>> Darin: She could just like she could end me.

>> Mike: Red pill your ass on out of everything. Yeah.

>> Darin: Boom. So I instantly thought, what would Libby do? And she would have gone to blank blank, airlines dot com.

>> Darin: And well, I don't know really how to do that, but I got on the Google and I looked at blank blank airlines customer service and I made a phone call. Okay. And I was on hold for a few minutes. Eventually I got hold of somebody and this person could not have been nicer.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Said, hi, I'm Darren, I'm at Cincinnati International Airport. I'm supposed to be on a flight to Chicago. The plane is hard broke. They have canceled the flight. I need to get on the next flight because I'm going up there for business. And the person kindly says, oh wow, wow. Sorry to hear about that. Please stand by. Let me see what we can do. The next available flight is at 4:30pm M. I'm in the airport at 9:00pm I said I'll take it. What am I going to do? Complain?

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: They can't give me an earlier flight than 4:30. So I took that and now I'm at the airport. Okay. Yeah, I got to the airport ridiculously early, like at 6:00am yeah, to for my 8:00 clock flight. And so now I'm going to be at the airport till 4:30.

>> Mike: A lot of gummy bears.

>> Darin: That's a, that's a lot. All in all I was at the airport for 10 hours.

>> Mike: That's awesome.

>> Darin: Yeah. I had breakfast at the airport. I had lunch at the airport. I rode the, the sidewalks. Okay? The motion sidewalks. I rode those a lot.

>> Mike: Did you get to the point? Did you. Were there, Were there long enough to where you got a favorite one?

>> Darin: I like the ones that go toward my gate, not the ones that go.

>> Mike: Away from my gate.

>> Darin: I mean, they're the same. They go the same speed.

>> Mike: Did you look at the people that aren't riding them, that are specifically walking them and not riding them? Did you look at them judgy?

>> Darin: Yeah. Because they think they're better than I. Yeah.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: What the hell's your problem?

>> Mike: And they speed up just a tad. Just a little bit. You can tell they're racing you, but they can't beat it.

>> Darin: But I rode the motion sidewalk a lot. I read a book. I played with my Rubik's Cube. I keep my five by five Rubik's Cube with me. And I do it every day because I worry about my memory. I forget people's names. Yeah, I do. And, and other words. So I sit there and I. I messed that thing up and solved it like a dozen times while waiting on my flight.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: And, it was a long, fun day at the airport. And, you know, it's like, I love people watching. And while I'm there at the airport, there was a woman to my left, and then there's woman catty corner in front of me. And they were both, going through the same experience, yet completely different. The woman catacorner in front of me was talking to somebody and they were apparently hysterically funny because she was. Uh-huh. She was snorting and whatever. Ernie. How Ernie laughs.

>> Mike: I think she was rooting for truffles there for a second too. That's right.

>> Darin: So she's laughing like Ernie. and she's uncontrollably sitting in her seat. She's about to fall out of her seat. I don't know what was so funny, but she was just laughing hysterically. The woman to my left, also on a phone, I'm assuming she's on a separate phone call, was going,


Oh. M. Yeah. That's funny. Mhm, yeah, that's funny

>> Mike: Oh.

>> Darin: yeah, that's funny. M. Oh, that's funny.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: The old sarcastic. That's funny. Yeah.

>> Darin: Mm.

>> Darin: M. Oh, that's funny. And I'm like, if that's so funny, how come you're not laughing like Glinda over here? You know?

>> Mike: That's right.


Something happened with my flight. I'll just say mine was Delta

>> Darin: Anyway, long story short, I was supposed to arrive in Chicago around 1.

>> Mike: That's.

>> Darin: Yeah, I didn't get there till 7:30 in the evening.

>> Mike: Oh my gosh.

>> Darin: Yeah. Oh my Lord.

>> Mike: During the telling of that, you did remind me of a story of mine. And I don't remember all the details because I'm 50 and I don't care, but it used to travel a lot, to the point where I'd racked up enough miles, where I was in like the special club.

>> Mike: You know, where you just.

>> Darin: Yeah, well, you're in a special club.

>> Mike: I was in the special club. and it's Delta. I'll just say mine was Delta because mine's a good story. My flight. Something happened with my flight. And I pulled up, I have a Delta app, and there's a button that said help. And I pushed it and then my phone started like dialing a number.

>> Darin: Wow.

>> Mike: And they came on and they said my name. How is your, how's your flight going? And I'm like, well, it just got canceled.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Yes. We've, we've rebooked you on the something something flight.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: It leaves in 20 minutes. It's at gate C32.

>> Mike: He said if you're facing away from your previous gate, if you look to your left, just over your left shoulder.

>> Darin: Wow.

>> Mike: You'll see that gate.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And I thought this is some born identity, you know, like I was looking for cameras. I didn't. I mean, m. Yeah. They have maps of all the airports. So I know my app does that. You like if whatever airport I'm in, it'll pull up the map automatically. So I assume that's what he was doing. But I was like, my Lord.

>> Darin: Well, somebody asked me, why didn't you just go home? Okay. I live an hour away from the airport.

>> Mike: Yeah. You spend all your time driving.

>> Darin: I don't have a car or not driving. So I'd have to Uber home and work for what, an hour, two hours, Uber back to the airport, and then give myself another at least two hours to go through the security and stuff again. One time I was, going from Chicago to Cincinnati, and it took me more than an hour of standing in the line before I even got to see the person who handles security. So I was like, I ain't doing that. I'm just gonna stay here.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And my boss asked, why don't I just rent a car and drive? And I never agreed to drive in the city of Chicago. I'm not driving in Chicago. And here's the thing. So our airport The Cincinnati airport is in Northern Kentucky. I don't understand that by the time I rent a car, drive to Chicago, I'm going to get into Chicago at rush hour and then I'm going to miss work anyway. And I'm probably going to get there later than when my flight could bring me in. So I didn't rent a car. We get on the plane at 4:30. Hey, here's the thing. I ah, realize that whenever something crappy happens to me, there's always somebody who has it worse than me. There's a guy in line behind me who missed his layover that was supposed to take him to Tokyo. He had a business trip in Tokyo and he was the only person who speaks Japanese with his company. So he was supposed to interpret. That's an important meeting that he's missing. There was another person who missed his layover to India. So I don't know when that reconnecting thing happened. And then there was a woman who was trying to get a connecting flight somewhere to she was from Vietnam, this lady, she spoke Vietnamese, she did not speak English. And so her reconnecting flight was God knows when she had to spend the night. And I overheard, yeah, I overheard the kind people, very, very kind people, the associates working at the gate who, they arranged her hotel car to take her to the hotel and the connecting flight which would be the following day. All this work that they did for this lady who did not speak English, trying to get.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And it's like, and I'm thinking, I just, you know, I got to Chicago a few hours later than I was supposed to. Yeah. And these people had it way worse than I did. So anyway, I'm so happy. The pilot handled it fantastically. We did not notice this problem while we were flying in the air. And yeah, it was good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.


After this podcast, make some homemade fudge

>> Dave: This portion of our show is brought to you by Fudge. Hi, I'm Dave Lay and I love fudge. I'm not talking about that store bought crap. I mean honest to God, homemade fudge. You know, if you start to say it over and over, it starts to sound like it's not even a real word. Fudge. Fudge. Fudge. Haha. anywho, where was I? After this podcast, hop on over to the stove and make a batch of delicious fudge. You'll thank me when colder weather rolls in.


Do you tell your friends when they're doing stupid? No, No

Now back to the show. Hey honey, where's all the stuff? I need to make some fudge.

>> Mike: You have friends I assume?

>> Darin: I do have friends. And you know And I'm gonna brag. I have some very good friends.

>> Mike: You have some decent friends.

>> Darin: Good friends.

>> Mike: you do get friends that do stupid.

>> Darin: I do. I've got. I've got a guy.

>> Mike: Yeah, you got a guy for that.

>> Darin: You got it. You need a friend who juggles. I got several.

>> Mike: Do you tell your friends, when they're doing stupid?

>> Darin: No, No, I just let him do it.

>> Mike: No.

>> Darin: That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Now, if they were doing stupid, that was going to hurt them. Yeah. Yes, I would.

>> Mike: But in general, if you're like. You're like, oh, he should be doing that. That's kind of a thing. You just gotta keep that to yourself.

>> Darin: Hey, why are you doing that? Yeah.

>> Mike: And then you go home, Libby, check this out. Look what he's doing.

>> Darin: You know what? I do have a friend who was doing what I thought was some stupid. And I said, I don't really agree with what you're doing. And we didn't talk to each other for, like, nine or ten years.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: and I look back at that and I'm like, I could have handled that differently. And he agrees that he could have handled it differently on his end, but we were younger and dumber then.

>> Mike: Stupid.

>> Darin: Yo. You don't even know what stupid is. It's about to get all stupid up in here.

>> Mike: See?

>> Darin: Not as smart as I am now. Honk.

>> Mike: So Bess and I were having a discussion at some point, I think it was over the weekend, about some stupid that people were doing.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: And I'm like, but nobody's going to tell them about it because their friends aren't going to tell them because they don't want to run into the situation like you just did.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: And your family's not going to tell you because they want to be supportive and, you know, whatever. So there's tons of people out there, Darren, that are walking around. There are a lot of people doing stupid.

>> Darin: Billions.

>> Mike: And nobody's telling them.

>> Darin: So stupid.

>> Mike: There's all these life coaches out there. They don't call them life coaches anymore. They call themselves something. They call them AI now that are telling people what they should be doing and positive things to do. But nobody's saying, hey, maybe you shouldn't be doing this thing over here, or maybe you should do it a little differently.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: I think that's a business opportunity. I would like to be the person. You tell me the stuff that you're about to do, and I tell you. I tell you, if it's stupid, don't call me stupid.

>> Darin: Oh, right. To call you stupid would be an insult to stupid people.

>> Mike: And I judge you, like, harshly because.

>> Darin: Look, can I. Don't you already do this? I love how you're like, I got an idea. I'm gonna start doing myself. That I already do.

>> Mike: Oh, here's the deal.

>> Darin: Okay?

>> Mike: Here's the deal. People try to be kind. Let's. Let's think. Think of some stupid that you could do.

>> Darin: Okay?

>> Mike: Let's say you want to start skydiving naked.

>> Darin: You do that right now without a parachute.

>> Mike: Now, I, as your friend, boy, that would feel great. I'm going to encourage that because I'm going to say, yeah, go for it, Darren. Be all that you can be. And then when you leave the house, I am between bouts of hysterical life threatening laughter. I'm going to tell Bess this man is going to be butt naked, over Westchester, flying towards the earth in a parachute. And he thinks it's a good idea. and she's going to say, aren't, you. Didn't you tell him he shouldn't do that? I was like, no, it's going to be hilarious. Somebody should tell you not to do that.

>> Darin: Right, right. Right.


Dave: Would you have one business or two

>> Mike: At your age, you don't need those things flapping around in the window.

>> Darin: I don't.

>> Mike: So that's what I. Not only would I be that for people, I would do it with a heavy, heavy load of judgment. I, would judge you personally.

>> Darin: You've got to be out of your.

>> Mike: Not only. So if I were trying to talk you out of it as a friend, I would say, darren, I don't know. It's gonna be cold old m. Bird. You get a bird and then, you know, who knows what happens, right? I wouldn't say, darren, that's stupid. What you just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. Someone is going to take a picture that's going to haunt you for the rest of your life.

>> Darin: Right. You could need that to happen again.

>> Mike: Snagged on a thorn bush. You don't know what you're landing in. what happens if you snagged on a thorn bush? What if you miscalculate and you land right in the middle of Kings island during the haunt? How are you going to explain that.

>> Darin: I land on the.

>> Mike: You're already. You've committed at least 15 felonies before you even hit the ground.

>> Darin: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

>> Mike: How dare you. How dare you. And have you almost in tears before you leave the office? I Think I could do that job?

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Well.

>> Darin: Well, okay. And this would be, would coincide with your job of getting people concert tickets.

>> Mike: You know what?

>> Darin: Because you. Because you know what, Wanted to be their concert coach.

>> Mike: I could. Here's. Here's what you do is like, would you have one business?

>> Mike: You advertise the other business. So somebody comes up to me and says, mike, I need tickets to the upcoming Rush tour.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: I was like, you're damn right you do. And I do everything I can do to get you tickets.

>> Darin: Sure.

>> Mike: Then someone else comes up and says, Mike, I want to go see no Doubt at the Fear. I'm going to say, are they at the Sphere? Sphere? Yeah, they're going to be at this. Wow. I'm gonna say, no, you're not gonna go see.

>> Darin: Huh?

>> Mike: Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I think that's a. It's a good. I'm here to help people.

>> Darin: Okay. Now I'm verklamped.

>> Mike: Okay? Because you think people would pay for that. To be abused by me, Judged. Here's the thing. There's a. There's a bit of a, gamble, in it if you come up with a really banging idea. And you're expecting me to judge you, but. Yeah, no. Hell yeah, we're gonna do that. We're go. I'm gonna go with you.

>> Darin: You're gonna go skydiving naked Skydiving. That'll be our next episode.

>> Dave: Time now for Dave's Comedy Corner High School Edition. I was walking down the hall at work the other day, and the lady in the cubicle next to me said she needed file number six, seven.

The Museum of Broadcast Communications reopened with a Johnny Carson centennial exhibit

Now back to you guys in the studio.

>> Darin: I mentioned at the top of the podcast that I went to Chicago. I got to go to the Museum of Broadcast Communications that they have reopened. they were open. I can't remember how long ago, but they had closed during the pandemic. They closed anyway. They reopened with a Johnny Carson centennial exhibit.

>> Mike: I Saw a bunch of pictures of you looking like you're in the 80s, 70s and 80s.

>> Darin: Cool was this exhibit.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: How cool. How cool. So cool. I can't even begin to explain how amazing this exhibit was because I grew up watching and loving Johnny Carson. I remember as a little kid, mom and dad would go out and they'd say, hey, you guys, you can stay up and you can watch Johnny Carson. And we thought that was the coolest thing in the world, right? And because Johnny was just the king. Before I got into David Letterman, before I got into Steve Martin, I was a huge fan of Johnny Carson. So they've got this exhibit celebrating what would have been his 100th birthday. And it's really, really cool. I can't even, I can't even tell you how awesome this exhibit was. It has stuff from. Who do you trust? The original, game show that he hosted. And Ed McMahon was his sidekick. Okay? They got stuff from his, like his high school yearbook in his hometown. And they've got his costume. When he was Aunt Blabby, you know, when he was Aunt Blabby, he used to beat the out of Ed McMahon with that cane. He would just smack him right and left with that cane. Now, Aunt Blabby wasn't my favorite character of his art Fern was my favorite Johnny Carson character. Take the slauson cut off. And cut off your Slauson. Indeed. they didn't have anything at Karnak, but they did have a giant colored curtain that you could walk through.

>> Mike: And you got a picture in front of you. I did.

>> Darin: Of course, you got to. They've got a desk that you sit there, and when you watch Johnny Carson, whenever they would go to a commercial break and they would come out, they would have this artwork that said more to come. Apparently, like, one guy designed it may have been more than one person. Whoever designed this donated a ton of more to come artwork for the, exhibit. It was really, really cool. And anyway, I'm just loving it. And then they had the evolution of late night television. And. And this is where daddy got really excited because they had exhibits of David Letterman. Okay. They have cue cards and autographed, show. every episode had a rundown and David Letterman autographed one of the rundowns. They had a poster hanging on the wall that I have that they sent to CBS affiliates. They had. And I'm, my co workers who were with me there were. I think they were getting a little annoyed with me because I'm like, I got that. I got that. I. I've got that. I've got more TV Guides that they could have used. How come they didn't? Oh, I've got Truth Be Known. And yeah, they've got a lot of stuff of David Letterman, but they've got stuff from Conan and, and Jay Leno. And, they've got the Harry, Carey costume that Will Ferrell wore. They have Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. Yeah, that was so cool. But I have so much stuff at my house and I was contemplating actually donating stuff to the museum and they would be on loan from Darren Cox. Oh, yeah. I'm still thinking about it.

>> Mike: When you were there, it was. Anyone trying to blame Conan?

>> Darin: Don't know, because you don't blame Conan. Don't blame Conan. But yeah, they had cool Conan stuff and it was awesome. And if you're in the Chicago area, if you're close, if you're planning on going to Chicago, you have to go to the Museum of Broadcast Communications and check this out, because it is on display. It's going to be there until January of 2027. So you got about 14 months to check it out. And I'm telling you, it's worth the money. It is so worth money. I loved it. While I was in Chicago, I got to go on the radio. I went on WGN AM radio and I was talking about m. Me and my buddy Todd, who I work with, we were talking about the museum, and then we were talking about what Antenna TV was doing for Johnny Carson's birthday week. Okay. That was so cool. I haven't been on the radio since you and I went on WGRR with Chris, your name.

>> Mike: So you, you were repping. You're repping.

>> Darin: Your representing. Yeah. That's awesome. I was absolutely representing, our station and Antenna TV and talking about Johnny Carson. And it was so cool. And I, I miss Johnny. I wish Johnny was still with us. I would love to see how Carson would have handled. How do you think Johnny Carson would have handled the media? M. With social media and Twitter and Tick Tock and, you know, trying to. Because nowadays, all these kids today hosting their, their late night talk shows rely on viral videos.

>> Mike: Who does the celebrities reading mean? Tweets.


People say there was nobody like Johnny Carson, and Johnny is still the best

>> Darin: That is Jimmy Kimmel.

>> Mike: That looks like a Carson. If Carson were around now, you think.

>> Darin: Carson would have done. I think he would.

>> Mike: I think he would have done that.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: I think he would have gotten a kick out of that.

>> Darin: Yeah. I will say one thing about Johnny Carson. We'll all say many things about Johnny Carson. I Go on, social media, and I see clips from John Oliver or Jimmy Fallon or Jon, Stewart, any of those guys. And all you got to do is read through the comments and people will eventually say, there was nobody like Johnny Carson. Johnny Carson was still the best. And Johnny Carson has been off the air longer than he was on the air. Yeah, okay. He's been off the air over 30 years, and people are still saying that, that there was nobody like Johnny, and Johnny is still the best. And there's a lot of people who are saying, you know, Johnny didn't get all political. And the truth is, he did.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: He told. If you go on Antenna TV Monday through Saturday at 11pm Eastern and watch an episode of Johnny Carson, if you watch one of his episodes from the 70s, he is making jokes about, like, Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew and Ed Meese and all these people running for office. He did an impression of Ronald Reagan. He made jokes about Ronald Reagan and Ronald Reagan's cabinet and George Bush, and he even made jokes about Donald Trump. I mean, he told political jokes. He made fun of every president who was in office in the 30 years that he was doing the Tonight Show. Yeah, I don't know what people are talking about. Johnny didn't go all political. Did he do an hour devoted to one candidate over the other? No, but he made fun of every person who was in office. And he made fun of people running for the office. Yeah, because that's what you do. You just, you know, he would do news of the day, but, was Johnny Carson more sensitive? Do you do it better than they do today? that's up to you.


I had three interesting encounters in the elevator at a Chicago hotel

While I was in Chicago, I stay at a hotel right next door to my company. And I had three interesting engagement. What do you call it? Three,

>> Mike: Encounters.

>> Darin: Encounters. Thank you. I had three interesting encounters in the elevator at this hotel.

>> Dave: Number three.

>> Darin: The first night I'm there, I landed and got into Chicago. Got to my hotel about 7:30pm and I was like, well, I'm not just going to sit in the room. I'm going to go walk around. I'm going to go find something to eat. So I get into something. I'm gonna get into something. Yeah. I threw on a, beanie, and a. And a hoodie sweatshirt, and I get in the elevator, the door opens, and this woman and her boyfriend or husband could have been her brother, but I think they were dating.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: I think they were. I think they've done it. They give the vibe that something has happened. This Woman looks at me and she said, where are you from?

>> Mike: What?

>> Darin: And I said, I'm from Cincinnati. Where are you from? And she says, I'm from Chicago. And I said, well, that's great. What did I.

>> Mike: He says, you met female balky, right?

>> Darin: I mean, do I look like I'm just got off the turnip truck? Where are you from? Yeah, I don't know what that was about. So that was odd.

>> Mike: And that's where the conversation ended.

>> Darin: That's where the conversation ended.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Yeah. Okay, this is a great segment.

>> Mike: These are rapid fire number two.

>> Darin: The second day I'm on the elevator, I get up, go, up to floor 10. The door opens. I'm, walking out and this woman says, are you getting off on floor 10? I said, yeah. And she said, I'm on floor 10.

>> Mike: Wow.

>> Darin: What a coincidence.

>> Mike: Wow. It's been known to happen on multi floor buildings.

>> Darin: Now if she and I were on the same flight. Okay. We happen to take the same bus. Yeah. And then we get at the same hotel and then we get on the same elevator and then we're on the same floor. That would be a coincidence.

>> Mike: Yeah. The fact that you have the same room, that's a stunning coincidence.

>> Darin: That's what's called a problem. Yeah. And I didn't really want to engage her, but that's not a coincidence. We're just on the same floor.

>> Mike: Does she have birds living in her hair?

>> Darin: Probably.


I bought Andrew Dice Clay tickets, forgot about it completely

>> Mike: Okay, number one.

>> Darin: And the third encounter I had on an elevator as I was wearing my blue David Letterman shirt that looks like this. With the, with his new logo. Yeah, with the beard logo. Okay, okay. And these two gentlemen looked at me, looked at my shirt and says, is that you? No, that's not me. Yeah, that's David Letterman. They said, oh, David Letterman.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: Yes. Now I'm not being stereotypical. This isn't a Hank Azaria Apu. No thing. No, that, that's just how they were from Chicago. They said, they said, he's not on tv. And I said, well, he is. He still has my next guest. Oh, my next guest. Need no introduction.

>> Mike: Ah, they're down with it.

>> Darin: And they open the door and they leave. Oh, David Letterman.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: I said to myself, boy, this could be almost too much entertainment, you know? So that was my three elevator engagements.

>> Dave: M. You're listening to the only podcast that matters. Irritable dad syndrome with Mike and Darren.

>> Darin: So I got a text from, Mike yesterday.

>> Mike: I texted you.

>> Darin: Yeah, you texted me. Any day now, you're going to be Going to a home. They're clearly putting you in the home.

>> Mike: Yeah, yeah, I love this. I. I bought Andrew Dice Clay tickets, by the way. If m. You guys have not. If you guys do not follow Andrew Dice Clay, at least on Instagram.

>> Darin: Oh, you got to follow my true.

>> Mike: I mean, he's embracing being out of the limelight. Probably the best that I've seen anyone. So he's got a running gag that he's been doing for years. And I still laugh everyone that I see. He goes up to random people on the street. He's like, here for the picture.

>> Darin: You want to have the picture?

>> Mike: You want a picture with me?

>> Darin: Yeah. You want the picture?

>> Mike: They have no idea who he is, and he gets the picture with them. He's like, yeah, you wanted the picture. And so he has all these, okay, I don't care.

>> Darin: I'll take a picture with you.

>> Mike: He has all these selfies with confused people.

>> Darin: No idea who he is.

>> Mike: So I saw that he was coming to our area, so I'm like, boom. I'm getting. Me and Darren are going to go see Dice.

>> Darin: It's a no brainer.

>> Mike: Bought the tickets, forgot about it completely.

>> Darin: You didn't even tell me.

>> Mike: I didn't even tell anybody. I got him tickets. Completely forgot about it. I happened to be going through the TikTok and I saw an Andrew Dice Clay and I'm like, oh, I wonder when that show is. And I looked and, if you're listening to this in the future, this is now October.

>> Darin: October.

>> Mike: Near. Damn near the end of 27th. M. I think it's 28th.

>> Darin: 28Th, yeah.

>> Mike: October 28th. The show was in August, but the show was also canceled. Was an old lady lived in a shoe. She had so many kids, her uterus fell out. So I'm assuming I got a refund.

>> Darin: I don't remember anything, but I love that. Not only did you forget that you were going to the show, you forgot to tell me. Yeah, but no harm, no foul, because it ended up getting.

>> Mike: I'm assuming they emailed me or something, but I looked for Dice on my email.

>> Darin: I never check to see if you got that refund.

>> Mike: I don't know.

>> Darin: No, because a couple years ago, I famously and I told the story on this podcast. I bought tickets to see Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. Completely forgot. Yeah. And when I remembered, it was like two weeks after the show. And then I was telling it on Facebook and a friend says, oh, they're coming and they're doing a free show. And in Dayton Ohio. So that's just north of me, about 40 minutes. I'm like, okay, I'll go see him. It'll all balance out.

>> Mike: Yeah, it'll bounce out.

>> Dave: Yeah.

>> Darin: And, so I was completely going to go to that show.


Ted says he lost his microphone while in Chicago visiting his son

I forgot that one, too, because you and I just have money to burn on concert tickets. I don't think so. While I was in Chicago, I got a text from my friend Ted. So, years ago, Ted loaned us his, a microphone, a microphone stand and a cable, and we've got an amplifier, and my son has been using all that stuff for his band. I get a text from Ted, hey, man, I need to get my microphone. I've got a thing tomorrow, and I need to use it. Can I swing by and get it? And I texted him. I said, I'm not home. I'm in Chicago right now. But, let me make sure that Cameron or somebody's there. And, yeah, you can come and get it. So I checked. Sure enough, somebody was home. So I told Ted, I said, come by the house and pick it up anytime you need. It's downstairs in our music room. So. Okay. So he, goes by the house. I get a call. It's my youngest son, Cameron. Hey, dad, Ted's here. I said, yeah, he's. He's coming by to pick up his microphone. We can't find it anywhere. so you can't find it anywhere? No, I said, it's in the music room. No, it's not. Well, if it's not in the music room, I don't know where it would possibly be because that's the only place where we keep it. So it wasn't in the music room. Said check the unfinished, part of the basement. Went to. The unfinished part of the basement wasn't there. And so I started having. Look in the garage, look and see if it's possibly in the trunk of my car. I don't know why it'd be. So they're looking everywhere for this microphone doesn't belong to us. And I called Jacob and I said, buddy, where's the mic? And he goes, it should be home. I'm like, I know it should be home, but it's not home.

>> Mike: I love the answer. It should be.

>> Darin: It should be there. I know it should, but it's not. Yeah. and I got kind of hot with him. I was like. I was like, buddy, this isn't ours to lose. And I got a little upset with him. And so he comes home, and they're looking all over for it. Can't find it anywhere. And I'm getting really upset because it's not ours. It's not our microphone.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Borrowed it.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And I thought, God, if we've lost it, we're going to have to buy Ted a new mic instead of stand and all this stuff. I'm in Chicago and I'm at a restaurant, and I'm waiting on my fish tacos to come when I get a text from Jacob. And he said, did you bring it to Mike's? And then I thought, oh, crap.

>> Mike: Here's where I enter the story.

>> Darin: Oh, crap. This microphone is probably at, Mike's. So I text Mike, and Mike never returns my text.

>> Mike: I was in the middle of a ranked match, Black Ops 6.

>> Darin: And I'm sorry, but I'm like, mike, did I bring a microphone over to your house? Because I have brought stuff over. I did a free concert in Mike's backyard one time with the microphone, the stand, the cable.

>> Mike: And I said, new phone. Who dis?

>> Darin: Mike comes down here and takes a picture of this microphone on a stand and is like, is this what you're talking about? And I'm like, holy crap. This whole time I've been giving Jacob down the road because, you know, he lost this microphone, when in fact, I'm the one who brought it to Mike's house. And I felt horrible. And I sent Jacob a text, said, buddy, I am so sorry. I apologize 100 million, a hundred thousand times about this, situation. I'm sorry. So I sent Ted a picture of this microphone, and I said, is this. It said, here's your mic.

>> Mike: This is like a ransom.

>> Darin: This is. Turns out it was at, it was at Mike's house. Twitch. Ted replied, that ain't my mic.

>> Mike: I was going to put a newspaper behind it to show that it was a current picture.

>> Darin: But the thing is. Yeah, here I thought this whole time that I thought, oh, crap, I'm the one who did it, and I'm yelling at Jacob about it. Then I realized it wasn't them. Then I got mad at Jacob again. Okay, well, I can go back to being upset with you now.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Long story short, Jacob found where he had left the microphone. It got returned to Ted, and no problems.

Don: Chicago is a great walking city. The people are kind, the streets are clean

Now back to the show.

>> Darin: While I was in Chicago, I went to Andy's jazz club. Okay. the last time I was in Chicago, I was walking around. When I go to Chicago, when I'm on business, after work is done, I'll go out walking up and down streets. I'll walk four or five. I once walked like 12 miles.

>> Mike: I think Chicago is a good walking city. Yeah, it's very nice.

>> Darin: Yeah, it's a very, very, very great walking city. The people are kind, the streets are clean.

>> Mike: Which is why I was shocked when Dan and I were walking all through Chicago. That was when it was in the news of what? a militarized hell hole Chicago.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: War torn Chicago in Chicago. Like, I don't. I don't know.

>> Darin: I mean, I didn't hear any gunfire.

>> Mike: No.

>> Darin: I didn't see any smoke in the sky. we didn't have to duck and cover at any point while I was in Chicago. But anyway, so the last time I was there, I was walking around and I was exhausted and I was on my way back to my hotel to get some shut eye when I heard. I walked past this club and I could hear jazz music. I'm like, this looks like fun. And it was Andy's jazz club. And I said, God, I'm really tired. I'm not gonna do it now. Next time I come up, I'm gonna go. So I went, okay. And I got there. And I got there in the nick of time because they were almost sold out for the 8:15 show. They had just a couple of tickets left and I bought one. And, I was sitting at the bar by myself and, lo and behold, some guy comes and he sits next to me. Looks just like Andy Samberg. Okay. Not live.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: He's got a hat on and his hair is kind of long. And I swear he looks like Andy Samberg. And I was like, I'm gonna be good. I'm gonna be really good. And I'm not gonna bother this guy because he may just want to come and hear some jazz music. Yeah. So, I'm sitting there and I got my drink, and before the show started, I'm gonna go and use the bathroom. I said, can you watch my seat for me? He says, I will guard it with my life. Anybody comes here and tries to sit in your Seat. I'm gonna punch him in the face. And I'm like, you are my brother.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Okay. Yeah. So good. Cool guy. Yeah, cool guy. So I came back and sat down. I'm like, you didn't have to punch anybody. Didn't have to punch anybody. Okay, so watch the jazz. Jazz was awesome. This, the bass player, they had, he had one of them upright stand up basses. I thought, his damn fingers are gonna fly off. He was playing that son of a bitch. So mind boggling how fast and smooth and how amazing they were playing this jazz. So it's like an hour and a half show. After it's done, I started talking to the guy. Where are you from? As his name is, his name is jc he was in town for business and he actually lives in one of your favorite places in the whole world. Guess has something to do with you.

>> Mike: To Ireland.

>> Darin: He's not, he's not from Ireland? No. In. In New York?

>> Dave: No.

>> Darin: the Joshua Tree, California.

>> Mike: Oh, he lives in the Joshua Tree?

>> Darin: He lives.

>> Mike: He lives out there in the desert?

>> Darin: Yeah, he lives out there. He lives near Joshua Tree, California. And I'm like, oh. I said, I went to see the, the Joshua Tree tour. And he goes, oh, my God, I wish I could have done that. So we're talking and talking.

>> Mike: He could have that. They sold tickets.

>> Darin: That's right.

>> Mike: If he had.

>> Darin: Ah, right.

>> Mike: Have a grain of sense in his head. Don't get me started.


Darren: So after the show, we're walking back to hotel

>> Darin: No. So, so after the show, we're walking back and, I was walking back to my hotel the way I knew how to get there because I walked, took a right here, went down a side alley, down some steps, and then to the, to, Andy's Jazz Club. So when I see these steps, I'm like, well, listen, man, it's good meeting you. Good luck. Have a great flight. Take care. And he goes. You two shook hands. And I walked up the steps and then down the street and then took a right and then walking, walking, walking. And there was, the guy.

>> Mike: It looks like he tried to ditch him.

>> Darin: He was going, I know that. I. And I told him, I said, well, this is weird, man. I'm going back the way I know how to go. I'm not trying to dodge you at all. He says, oh, no, it's all cool. He was staying in the hotel two down from me. So we walked back to the hotels and told, him a little bit about the podcast and he told me a little bit about his job and everything. Cool guy. And I'm like, I met a new friend. And I'm thinking, I'm kicking myself. I didn't get any more information from him. I should have became a pen pal with him.

>> Mike: Yeah, yeah. yeah. Ah. Bess has been wearing. This has nothing to do with your story. Bess has been wearing. I just don't want you sitting through it waiting for a connection.

>> Darin: That's great. I love to iron. You know.

>> Mike: It'S like, yo, I know Bess has the same issue that I do in the inability to promote this podcast because she's been wearing the irritable dad syndrome sweatshirt. and we were at Charlie's game this past weekend, and somebody, like, put his shirt and laughed, said, that's awesome. And Bess just nodded. Uh-huh. And I was like, yeah. And we just kept walking. I was like, ah, dude, right there, right there.

>> Darin: But no, he said, his flight was tomorrow in the morning. I said, well, if you're bored, if you're really bored, like, stupid bored, like, can't stand it. You're so bored waiting on your flight, you could give my podcast a listen.

>> Mike: There you go.

>> Darin: Oh, okay. Maybe he did. Yeah. I don't know, J.C. if you listen to it. Hi, I'm Darren. That's Mike. Yeah.


While I was in Chicago, I ordered a breakfast sandwich at Ed Dubevix

yeah, one more thing before we go. While I was in town in Chicago, there's a restaurant called Ed Dubevix. D, E, B, E, V, I, C, apostrophe S, Ed Debeviks. Okay. I. I'm looking for a place. I don't want to go to someplace that we have here in Cincinnati, like McDonald's. I don't want to go to Smash Burger. I don't want to go to Chick Fil A or Five Guys. But I passed an Ed to Bevik's, and there's a sign out front that said something like, if you can't take a joke, don't come in this restaurant. Okay, let's go.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: The waiters are mean to you.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: They're rude at Ed Dubics. And it's hilarious. I go to the table and he says, what do you want? And I said, you serve breakfast all day, right? That's what it says. Okay. yeah. So I ordered this breakfast sandwich. Holy crap. It had chicken, breast, avocado, bacon, and a fried egg. Yeah. And cheese.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Good Lord. This is the most amazing breakfast sandwich I've ever had.

>> Darin: And so I ordered the breakfast sandwich. What do you want to drink? I'll take a Coke. Yeah. We serve Pepsi. Thanks for paying attention. Okay. Okay. Sorry. And I'm laughing, and he just looked at me like, what are you laughing at? So he brings the food. There you go.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Not happy here. Just kind of throws it on. I am, I'm eating, and I get to the point where I needed a refill, and, my waiter walks by, and I said, can I get some more Pepsi, please? Yeah. Walks on, and I wait. And then I waited a minute, and then another, waiter walks by, and he said, is everything okay? Do you got everything you need? I said, I'm waiting on a refill. I'll get it for you. Yeah, yeah. So my original waiter comes by a minute later. What are you going to ask everybody here? And he gives me a pitcher, a pitcher full of Pepsi with a straw. The giant straw. You're just going to ask everybody?

>> Mike: That's awesome.

>> Darin: Then a third guy working there puts on some loud music, and the music was great. They were playing disco and something else. my original waiter comes by. He says, you, like this song? I said, yeah, it's great. He goes, well, I mean, I could put on some Gordon Lightfoot or something more your demographic.

>> Mike: Oh.

>> Darin: I kind of like Gordon. Anyway, if you're at an Ed Dubevik's, the food is great, the service is horrible, but the laughing, is good. You'll enjoy it. We're going to go. If you want to go to irritable dad syndrome.com if you miss us, if you can't wait for our next episode to come up, you can always go to irritable dad syndrome.com and you can listen to any of our 200. 280, episodes.

>> Darin: Yeah, I know, right? Point. We haven't run out of things to talk about. Yeah. If you haven't listened to Best of Volume five, go listen to Best Volume five.

>> Mike: That's the thing that rejuvenated me for the podcast is the fact the Best of Volume five is over three hours long.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Because each time we do one of those Best of, I think. I don't know, we're gonna. It's not that much good stuff right here.

>> Darin: No, Year five was a good year for us. Yeah. Yeah. So do that. And, hey, we hope to see you next week on Irritable Dad Syndrome.
