>> Darin: Yeah.


How you doing, Mike? Well, I'm doing. I'm hanging in. Yeah. We spent the past hour talking about exactly how I

How you doing, Mike?

>> Mike: Well, I'm doing. I'm, I'm. I'm hanging in. I'm hanging in. What I'm doing. I'm hanging in. We spent the past hour and a half talking about exactly how I'm doing. And you became a front row audience member.

>> Darin: I did.

>> Mike: To a phone call, which is based around how I'm doing. But, this is, I have a week off right now. And we typically would do a family vacation. we're not doing that this year. we're doing, like. What are they. The kids call it a staycation.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: So. And it's been a very busy staycation. I have been, gallivanting around retro video game shops.

>> Darin: Nice. I'm going to be doing that, too. I'm going to be buying some Atari games.

>> Mike: Yeah. And there's been a couple good ones. I went to one, the other day, and, they were very nice. They were very nice people. Person. I walk in and there are, hundreds of the video games and consoles and things, strewn throughout. And I say strewn, and I mean it. Throughout the shop, as it were. And I'm looking around and I'm thinking I could probably make it back to my car with a couple hundred games and no one would ever know.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Because there was nobody there.

>> Darin: Wow.

>> Mike: Just wide open. and I started thinking, how much could I take before it becomes a felony?

>> Dave: Right.

>> Mike: There's a dollar amount.

>> Darin: It's over $5,000.

>> Mike: Because I'm 51. Right. I could stand to rack up some misdemeanors at this point.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: Go through a crime spree in my 50s. And then expunge it all in my 70 or 60s and I'm good. I had my cake and I ate two. And then I hear some jumbling in the back. This nice person comes out and explains to me that they were doing something in the back, which I gathered from the sounds that I heard back there. And I start looking around and I proceeded to hear about three to four long form stories about issues that they'd had. Just a pleasant, pleasant person, wonderful person. I can't say enough nice things about this person because there's a chance that they would hear this. They would think, oh, I, I talked too much.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: All I'm gonna say is I went in there for five minutes to look around and 45 minutes later, I walked out with a couple of pretty nice, old 2600, Vidja games.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And one hell of a repertoire of stories about how, video game consoles are repaired.

>> Darin: Oh, yeah.

>> Mike: And the gall of some who just because we used a different stick on their control stick that they were used to.

>> Darin: How dare you.

>> Mike: And it worked better. It was an upgrade, Darren. It was an upgrade.

>> Mike: Sure.

>> Mike: And they can't recognize it. Is it my fault that they can't recognize it? No, no. This just doesn't look like the one they brought in. The one they broke in was busted. And they just didn't know enough about it to know that it was busted. I'm out money. I'm out money for them using the better stick. And then they got mad and they said that they were going to bring the lawyers in. And I said, I'm going to bring my lawyer in. And then my, significant other got involved and told them all to get the hell out of the store. And they left. Let me tell you, they left and they were mad and they gave us a one star review. And then I called them and they said they weren't going to take it down until we fixed the stick. And I told them, I already told you once, you son of a bitch, it's an upgrade. And they wouldn't listen to me. And my significant other got on the phone and he said, just hang up with them. they're trash, and we don't want them in our store anymore. Just, they're trash. And just quit selling the trash. And I, I told him, look, honey, I'm sorry that he called you trash. And then they hung up on me. Can you believe that? They hung up. Hang up on me. I was nice to them, like, can

>> Darin: I pay you cash?

>> Mike: And then there was another Time. And it just. It just kept. And it was, I mean, wonderful.


One of the greatest aspects of this podcast is no matter what's happening

>> Darin: Now, tell me, five years ago, if you had went and had this conversation, would it have upset you? Because I know when you're there, in this day and age of your life, when you go into a place and this happens, I know what you're thinking. The same thing I'm thinking. This is all going.

>> Mike: Oh, there's a. There's an absolute. One of the greatest aspects of this podcast is no matter what's happening.

>> Mike: Positive or negative.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: There's a point where the little producer, in our minds.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: Comes out of the little sound, the voice. He comes in and he's like, hits the record button.

>> Darin: Yep.

>> Mike: And says, by the way, Mike, you may want to make a note

>> Darin: of this all going on the show.

>> Mike: Going in.

>> Darin: Yeah. A couple weeks ago, when I was talking about the Waffle House, I mean, I was just like, darren, remember every word. I almost got out pen and paper and started transcribing.

>> Mike: I came close to hitting record on

>> Darin: my phone because I was just like. Just like, yeah. And it's like, do you want to leave? Yeah. Do you want to hang around and listen to see how long it goes?

>> Dave: Part of you.

>> Darin: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

>> Mike: It makes content out of situations.

>> Darin: It does. And I think you and I, now that we have this podcast, we see life from a different perspective. We go into these negative situations and we're like, okay, I can't wait to tell Mike about this, or I can't wait to tell Darren about this, or I can't wait to see what Chris Hughes thinks about this story that we're talking about.

>> Mike: I'm trying to think if I've ever. I don't. I don't think I have, but. But I'm being cautious. I don't think I've ever exploited a situation for the show. Meaning I don't think I've ever been in the midst of a situation and thought, oh, it'd be so much for the better for the show if I did this and then did that. You know what I mean?

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: Right. I don't. I'm trying to think. I don't think I ever have.

>> Darin: I think, you know, for me, just sitting in it and allowing the conversation to go further, which I normally might not have done. but now I just let it go.

>> Mike: A lot of people have these experiences too, by the way. I. I passively witnessed tons of these things. I was in a shop today, and there was a police officer in there buying some Video games.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And he was spending a long time.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: Talking about the video games. And I wanted to say, interesting that you're asking about Grand Theft Auto 5. That's pretty meta. But should you be out stopping crime at this point? I mean, you have a gun on. I'm assuming you're on duty. Maybe.

>> Darin: Well, I. I assume that if he. We got a situation of. We've got a 404 on Rogers Street. Whatever the hell.

>> Mike: But what do cops actually, before. Calm down, keyboard warriors.

>> Darin: We're fans of the police.

>> Mike: Fans of the police. But is there like. Or.

>> Darin: Or the police.

>> Mike: Is there a. Ah, nine to five. And I know that they work all kinds of different shifts, but the patrol cops. Is there a cop job where they're just out doing their thing and they get a call or they witness a crime and they deal with it, or are they doing tasks? You know what I'm saying? Like, okay, I get the people on the highway. I get the, like the highway troopers

>> Darin: making sure you're not speeding.

>> Mike: Making sure you're not.

>> Darin: Making sure that you pull over when the emergency vehicle's on the right side.

>> Mike: Very obvious what they're pull over. Right. And I get that when they're doing security at a place and they're standing there and they're mean mugging people. People need to be mean mugged. Right. But back, you watch some shows from the. In the 50s and the 60s, there'd be a cop walking down the street. He would stop a mugging or he would help, the old lady across the street.

>> Darin: He'd get a cat out of the

>> Mike: tree, tell Timmy to shut the up for once in his life.

>> Darin: Hey.

>> Mike: So they would always do something. I wonder, is there a version of the cop, which in my mind is the perfect cop job, where you just do errands, you just kind of do stuff. And then if you see. Go down. Oh, yeah, while you're doing it, it's like you go in, you clock in. It's like, all right.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: All right.


M. Murphy: I love cops. Love what they do

M. Murphy, we need you to go to the store.

>> Darin: I've got to get fabric softener, get

>> Mike: some gas, stop off and see, Miss Marple over there.

>> Darin: Those pants need to be hemmed.

>> Mike: And then come back and take these library books back. And on the way, if you happen to see a heist.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: Stop, shoot, shoot at somebody or something.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: Or save a cat. I don't know.

>> Darin: yeah.

>> Mike: Love cops. Love what they do.

>> Darin: They're awesome people.

>> Mike: Thin blue line. But, I'm in my hope of Hopes there is a. They do that. Yeah. They have their just standard. Go get your laundry taken care of. Go get some stamps. Go get the bananas. Not too ripe.

>> Darin: Return those dvd.

>> Mike: Return them.

>> Darin: And please rewind, rewind. Be kind. Rewind.

>> Mike: Do you ever over obey the law in front of a cop? Like, you remember the drop your

>> Darin: speed to 51 miles an hour back 65.

>> Mike: Back when we had malls.

>> Darin: Oh, I love.

>> Mike: They had the candy store where you get the little scoopy, of jelly beans.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: And they had, like, popcorn, flavored jelly beans and cherry flavored jelly beans.

>> Darin: And did you ever try the root beer flavored jelly.

>> Mike: I tried all the jelly beans. The watermelon ones were the absolute bomb. But if. If you were ever in there when a cop was in there, it's like all of a sudden, whoa. M. I need to make sure all the beans go into the bag.

>> Darin: That's right.

>> Mike: I don't want to drop a bean because then what do you do? You can't throw it in the trash. No, you've. You've. Or you can't eat it.

>> Darin: C13 of the Greater jelly bean code. The convention. Geneva Convention.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: Yeah. A little stretch on the.

>> Mike: I think I'm done.

>> Dave: You are listening to Irritable dad syndrome. Please don't adjust the temperature. You're not allowed to touch the thermostat. Thank you.


Darren Cox's son Jacob was in a car accident recently

>> Darin: I mentioned at the beginning of the show that my son Jacob was in a car accident. Jacob's fine the day he got his car. And we're driving off. We have been waiting, hoping that we do not get this call. But we got the call from Jacob. First thing Jacob says is, mom, I'm fine. And I'm like, okay, I know exactly what's going on. It was raining, and he stopped at a red light. The woman behind him slammed on her brake, and she hydroplaned. Bam. She popped him in the rear end and, caused a little bit. Pretty bit of, damage there.

>> Mike: Yeah.

I said, okay, I will, I will come get you. Where are you? He told me exactly where the car accident was. Turns out it was just a couple miles from the house. And I said, okay, I'll come get you. So I put on my shoes, I got the keys, got the car, and I left, and I took a left. And I'm driving. I'm about a mile away, and I get stuck in traffic, and I'm like, oh, for God's sakes, are you kidding me? On the day that I need to get Jacob, I get stuck behind an accident. This is. Oh, it's Jacob's. Jacob's accident.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Mike: Whoa. I can see the red light, Carolyn.

>> Darin: And I said, I will be there as soon as I can. And Jacob says, it's okay, dad. just, you know, take your time. Everything's good. I mean, it was raining, but he's like, I'm fine.

The last time I was in an accident was in my Pontiac Vibe

>> Mike: Yeah. And it's like a thing with the little. Two little cherries in it. Look. Oh, I enjoyed the movie, too. I don't care. And you never could tell that it was, It was. Was struck. Right. I think it was a win win situation.

>> Darin: The last time I was in an accident, I was driving home, and I'm in my Pontiac Vibe. And my Pontiac Vibe had 230,000 miles on it or something like that. Okay. And I was getting ready. Honest to God. I was driving up to this, To this car place to look at a new car.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: This may be the last day I drive this Pontiac Vibe. Now. I love my Pontiac Vibe, but I had repaired it so many times. M. And like, the last eight times we repaired it, I was like, this is the last time. This is the. And then we kept saying, well, it's better than a car payment. Well, it's better than. Yeah. And so we fix this, and then we fix this, then we tweak that. And I sound like we need to take the car behind the shed and just say goodbye to the Pontiac Vibe.


Someone behind me accidentally pushes me into a truck on a Cincinnati highway

So I'm driving, and I'm on the Norwood lateral. And if you live in Cincinnati, the Norwood lateral is a highway that takes you from Interstate 71 over to Interstate 75.

>> Mike: Hence the name lateral lateral.

>> Darin: So I'm on the Norwood lateral, and I'm getting ready to. I'm coming up on the exit that takes you to Interstate 75. And, Slow down. The person behind pops me. Son of a. Pushes me into the truck in front of me.

>> Mike: Okay. He was probably futzing around on his phone. Was he?

>> Darin: I don't know. Yeah, I have no idea. But I'm like, are you kidding me? So I get out, and the first thing. And the truck in front of me was really nice. Like a really, really m. Nice truck. And I was really freaked out because, you know, he could have claimed I was responsible for hitting him, but, you know, and. But he was a cool guy.

>> Mike: Cooler heads prevail.

>> Darin: He was. Cooler heads prevail. And luckily, the dude who hit me came out, says, man, I'm sorry. And he apologized to the dude in front of me. And, And we're like, what happened? And, like. Well, he accidentally popped me and pushed me into the truck. The truck had no damage at all. Nothing. My back end had some damage, but not a lot. And then the guy who hit me barely had, a little. So I had some damage. Okay. Nothing to where I Couldn't drive the car. And we waited, and the cops showed up, and I expl. this happened and this happened, and. And the guy who drove the truck again was very cool. And they looked over, and he. He wasn't going to press any charges because he didn't have anything wrong to his. To his car. And we're exchanging insurances and everything. The guy behind me said, I felt real bad about it until I realized that he was a Steeler fan because I had a Pittsburgh Steelers license plate. Okay. He says, I felt bad about it until I realized it was. He was a Steelers fan.

>> Mike: Yeah. He's trying to bring some humor.

>> Darin: And then he and the cop both.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: And I'm like. So I went home, and I called my state farm guy, and by God, he. I wasn't gonna do anything. I wasn't gonna do anything at all. But he pissed me off.

>> Darin: So.

>> Mike: So he,

>> Darin: He paid for the damage to my car that I was gonna get rid of. Yeah.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: So watch. Watch your m. Mouth. When you have.


One of the things that's been stopping me from getting rid of the Kia

Next.

>> Mike: You. You've reminded me of some Kia news and a complaint that I have about Bess.

>> Darin: Oh. Oh.

>> Mike: Are you ready?

>> Darin: I'm not comfortable.

>> Mike: You've done this. You've done this.

>> Darin: When you complain about your wife. I'm not comfortable.

>> Mike: Listen, Bess's, She has a Highlander.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: And I needed to take it in to haul some things.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: It can haul. If you push the. The seats in the back down.

>> Darin: Oh, yeah.

>> Mike: It becomes a hauler. You m. Can haul things.

>> Darin: You can haul ass in that car.

>> Mike: I hauled ass. And, so it. But I noticed that it had a nail in one of the tires because the little computer diddle says, you got a tire problem.

>> Darin: The computer diddle.

>> Mike: So I called up, our friends at Carx, and I took it into car X at 4, 30. They had the thing fixed in 10 minutes. I brought my laptop because I was going to get some work done. I ended up using their waiting area as an office for about an hour because I, you know, I just. I was ready to wait. And when it came time to pay, they said, you know, with the Kia, we just. We're good. And I'm like, really? And so they gave me a free tire plug.

>> Darin: Oh.

>> Mike: And everything. They fixed the tire for free.

>> Darin: Awesome.

>> Mike: Because of the Kia. And I said, well, by the way, do you know anybody that would want the Kia? And the one guy started laughing, And he said, you're trying to get rid of that thing. And I'm like, I have to get rid of it.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And I said, it's got new brakes because you guys put brakes on it right before it gave up the ghost.

>> Darin: And that's it.

>> Mike: And it has tires that are only a couple years old. And the guy. The one guy said, it also has some, character flaws. I said that it does. That it does. But anyway, I. One of the things that's been stopping me from getting rid of it is that I need a, replacement title. I don't know where the title is on the thing. And you can go to the DMV and they can give you a replacement title. I went to the DMV four days,

>> Darin: four to six weeks, same day. Wow. Wow.

>> Mike: But I went there, and I said, I need a replacement title. It's 18 bucks. We need your ID. And then the lady said, oh, there's a. There's a problem. I'm like, there's a lot of problems with the Kia. She said, no, not with the car. She said, there's someone else on the title. I'm like, who? Who? And she looked at me like, I'm supposed to know.

>> Darin: Look.

>> Mike: And I'm looking.

>> Darin: Why would I know who's on with the title of my car?

>> Mike: And then I look. Then I look down at the registration, and there's my wife's name next to mine. I said, my wife? Yeah, I gave her the name, and she said, yes. And I'm like, okay. She. I. I was like, all I'm trying to do is get the title so I can get rid of the car. And she's like, well, we need your wife, too. And I was like, she knows the car sucks. She knows. She. She agrees with me to get rid of it. Uh-huh. And she's like, I understand, sir, but we need her here. I was like, wait, you need both of us here to get the title on this piece of.

>> Darin: To a car that's basically life support

>> Mike: so I can pawn it off on some poor CHUD out there somewhere. Yeah. So then I call Bess. She can't. I mean, it's like, 20 minutes away. And I'm like, okay, we'll figure out something tomorrow. It's like, I can't.


Andrew wants to start a savings account. He's had high school checking forever

And so I started. I'm laughing on the way home. I can't get rid of my car because Bess is on the title. Fast forward two hours, and Andrew wants to go to the bank. He wants to start a savings account. He's had high school checking forever. He wants to switch over to his own checking account and all that. We sit with a nice bank lady. That's what I call him. Banker, sure. And she goes through all the thing and she says, is it okay with you, dad? And I said, I wanted to say thank you for calling me dad, but I'm not your dad. I'm his dad. But I get it.

>> Darin: I understand why you're doing. You're term of affection.

>> Mike: You're okay with, you know, whatever. And she's like, oh. She's like, well, I need the owner of the account to make that decision. And I said, I. I'm here. And she's like, you're not the. The owner. And then she said, it's. And she gave Bess's name again. Like, do I own? Am I in charge of anything?

>> Darin: Is there anything I can do?

>> Mike: Anything here?

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: And I'm.

>> Darin: But by the way, I'm the man.

>> Mike: And I came home.

>> Darin: By God, I should be able to do everything.

>> Mike: I came home and I told Bess all of this that was happening.

>> Mike: Me in trouble.

>> Mike: It is so much. I started out in trouble and you ended in trouble.

>> Darin: Because that's what I do.

>> Mike: But I told her all this stuff.

>> Darin: Mike's on fire. Let's jump into the same pool.

>> Mike: And so she's like, so I own everything and I control everything. I. Apparently so.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And she's like, all right. Yeah, that was a very. All right is a short word.

>> Darin: All right.

>> Mike: But it's very dense. You like that? Held a lot of weight. Just hung in the air there when she said, all right, fine. Just period. Just right there. Just right there. So I don't know. I could be homeless, and she could get pissed at me for anything. And literally, if you're thinking that there's a shortage of things, of reasons that I give her to be pissed at me, you've got another thing coming. Like, right, Right. I'm the traitor's world of things to get pissed off about.

>> Darin: Yeah, you are.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: So I could be homeless in the next week.

>> Darin: I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Every time I wonder how Libby has stayed with me for so long, I question it. Because Bess has stayed with you.

>> Mike: Yeah. Even longer. I actually checked the registration on my current car to make sure that I'm on it.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: And I am. I am. I can drive my current car.

>> Darin: Good.

>> Mike: I just can't move the Kia.

>> Dave: This portion of our show is brought to you by the Pontiac Vibe. It has more power than Focus or Neon. And now it's performance season at your local Pontiac dealer. Have you got the vibe? Pontiac excitement most abundant.


Paul Stanley says he once thought sloppy joes were possessed

Now back to the show.

>> Darin: Okay. I have been so excited to record this podcast specifically for this story. So a couple nights ago, we had some company at the house. I had made burgers one night, and then whenever you buy burgers, you have to buy eight, hamburger buns. Well, I had more hamburger, but I wasn't craving hamburgers again. So I decided I was gonna make sloppy Joes now.

>> Mike: Usually sloppy joe.

>> Darin: Yeah. Navy beans. Navy beans. Navy beans. So usually when I make sloppy joes, I just put a little onion salt on my meat and then barbecue sauce. Okay, well, I was looking up, I was thinking, I was like, yeah, I know that there's other things you can put in a sloppy joe. So I went on Google. Now, you and I have talked about this in great length of why it's so difficult to get a recipe on

>> Mike: the Internet because you have to scroll through all their.

>> Darin: You do. You have to scroll through so much. And it's. It is really, really ridiculous. So I'm looking up this recipe for sloppy joes, and you will not believe what I found. So sloppy joes, they're hearty, tangy, and ready and under 30 minutes.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: And then it says, jump to the recipe. Okay, well, I'm gonna. I'm going to the recipe. You can't just go jump to the recipe. You have to read. You're not gonna believe what I had to read. This woman wrote, I used to be terrified of sloppy Joe's.

>> Mike: Oh, my God.

>> Darin: It's true. When I was a little girl, I got in my head that sloppy joes were demons and that if I ate them, I'd become possessed and die.

>> Mike: wow.

>> Darin: Somewhere along the line, I had decided these saucy sandwiches were bad news, and I wasn't taking any chances. And I said, you have my attention.

>> Mike: Yeah. Wow.

>> Darin: Okay, listen, I know that sounds crazy, but I blame my best friend, Becky, who was a strong Baptist. Demon Possession was among the largest of my childhood fears. Becky and I were convinced my parents basement was possessed. She thought Vogue magazine was possessed. And I in turn, came to believe. Sloppy joes. Yes, the comfort food favorite, made with ground beef and a Dutch oven, were possessed. Thankfully, I've since seen the light. These days, I'm at total peace with sloppy joes. And Becky's come around on Vogue. We've both grown a lot in our faith. And then what I love, what I love most about sloppy joes, and this recipe is the balance of Flavors. The sauce is rich and savory with just a little sweetness. Hold on a sec.

>> Mike: Yeah, it's just.

>> Darin: You're seriously going to go from I thought sloppy joes were demonic, were possessed to here's the recipe.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Dave: Yeah.

>> Darin: why are people allowed on the Internet unsupervised? Honest to God, how can you post a recipe with a straight face and talk about thinking sloppy joes were possessed? I'm just trying to find a recipe here.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Oh my God.

>> Mike: I'm just a squirrel trying to get a nut.

>> Darin: Seen anything like it? Oh, and speaking of the Internet, I, honestly believe that if you do not have a sense of humor, you should not be allowed on the Internet. There should be a special test. Somebody should come and just revoke your privileges. I was on a Kiss, Facebook page. The rock group, Kiss, Gene, Ace, Peter, Paul, and then those other guys that replace them. So they posted a picture and it's a ship and it's Cher and it's from the if I Could Turn Back Time video.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: And at the bottom, the caption says, here's Paul Stanley singing to our troops in 2004.

>> Mike: This is the picture that you showed with the ass.

>> Darin: Yes.

>> Mike: Okay. Yeah.

>> Darin: Paul Stanley performing for the troops, 2004. Yeah. And one of the first comments was, that's share. If you guys can't get your facts straight, you don't need to be putting things on the Internet.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: I'm like, oh my God. Yeah, it's a, joke.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: I don't understand how somebody can see, share and read that comment and not go, that's funny. That is funny. That's a joke.

>> Mike: Deal with it.

>> Darin: A couple weeks ago I mentioned that I went online because I was looking up, is it illegal to shoot a hawk? And when I typed in, is it illegal, it finished the phrase to talk to dolphins.


A family lets a giant tortoise loose in the airport

>> Darin: Okay, so I've got to get off Tick Tock. I. I really do because it's becoming a problem. I'm watching Tick Tock and there's a video of, this family and they have this giant turtle. Okay. I don't know that it's the same tortoise, but they took this tortoise to the airport. They were picking up the mother, and they let this giant tortoise loose in the airport to go find the woman that they were picking up. And I don't know that if you're allowed to take a tortoise to the airport or not. I don't know. But this giant tortoise is walking Through. And the looks on people's faces like, what the hell?

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Is that a what? Yeah. People don't, you know, expect to see a tortoise in the airport. My question is, what the hell?

>> Mike: No.

>> Darin: And I'm watching this, thinking, any minute,

>> Mike: especially without a boarding pass.

>> Darin: I know, I'm, any minute now, I'm expecting this tortoise to start, you know, screwing a piece of luggage or something. Yeah. but people are reaching down and they're petting the tortoise.

>> Mike: That's not advised at all. Yeah, they're petting the shell where that thing has been.

>> Darin: No, you don't. But it sparked the question in my mind. Can turtles feel when you pet their shell? Right. So I went on Google and I wrote can a tortoise? And Google automatically filled the sentence with breathe through its butt. The first thing Google thought I wanted to know was can a turtle breathe through its butt?

>> Mike: Well, can it a little bit. Okay. All right.

>> Darin: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Surprisingly, yeah. Hm. And that's as far as that story.

>> Mike: Howdy, friends. Are you a Southern boy looking for a place that sells all the stuff you need with prices that won't bust your budget and get you?

>> Mike: JD's. JD's what a Southern boy means I don't have very many spare moments.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: And I thought I should watch some tv.

>> Darin: M. Right.

>> Mike: I don't do that that often.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: And because we're always watching a show or a movie or something like that. And I came down, I popped some popcorn, microwave, because I ain't got time for all that other. And I came down here.

>> Darin: Popcorn. That's not microwave.

>> Mike: I usually pop it in the. Unless on the skillet.

>> Darin: The Jiffy Pop.

>> Mike: No, no, no, no, no. The. The old school. Like, oil and the kernels.

>> Darin: Oh, really?

>> Mike: Oh, it's.

>> Darin: It's like in an actual pot.

>> Mike: In an actual pot.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: Yeah, I'll show you.

>> Darin: Okay.

>> Mike: And anyway, I. I sat down at the Netflix. I haven't looked at Netflix. I have not been on Netflix in a very, very, very long time. There's a lot of killy things on there. Oh, my God, a lot of murdery things.

>> Darin: Yes. They've gone crazy.

>> Mike: Replete with them. Of course, Breaking Bad is still on

>> Darin: there, but I heard it was leaving Netflix.

>> Mike: Well, that's the first thing that gets recommended to me because, Netflix knows I've watched it like, five, six times through. So as soon as I sit down, Netflix is like, hey, Breaking Bad here.

>> Darin: Hey. Hey. Oh, Mike's here.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Bring out more murdery things. I wonder why your algorithm is full of serial killers.

>> Mike: Well, it's. It's all.


It's all there. Like, there's a thing on Ted Bundy

It's all there. it's like, it's just. And I don't even know, like, there's very popular. I remember back in the day, you at least knew who these people were. M. Like, there's a thing on Ted Bundy, or there's a thing on Jeffrey Dahmer. There's a thing on the Gacy guy or the Whatever. But these are just like, Sally's pissed, you know, and it shows a picture of a lady with a. I'm assuming is Sally.

>> Darin: Right.

>> Mike: And then there's another one's like, Bert's got a problem. And, there's a guy with the. The prison thing on, I assume is Bert.

>> Darin: Yeah.

>> Mike: And I don't know who any of these people are.

>> Darin: Right. But all. They all have a thirst for blood.


Why does cereal taste better at night? Have you noticed that it does

Let me ask you a serious question.

>> Mike: Of course.

>> Darin: Why does cereal taste better at night? Have you noticed that it does? I went for a long time, Okay? A long time. Because I used to have a problem. I mean, a real problem. Like 9:30, 10:00 clock at night. I haven't. What's. What's not in my lap. I know what's not on my lap. A bowl of cereal.

>> Mike: Yeah.

And I was planning our calendar for the summer, Season of Summer of Love. The. The Irritable Dad. Summer of love. Yeah. I was planning all that stuff. And there's a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal in the pantry going, darren, Darren, Darren. Huh?

>> Mike: Ah.

>> Darin: Flew around the world.

>> Mike: How many bowls do you eat in one sitting?

>> Darin: One I've eaten.

>> Dave: Really?

>> Darin: Yes, Yes.

>> Mike: I was at least two.

>> Darin: Well, now, there have been some, mornings where I'll. I'm getting a little more.

>> Mike: They're like 53 a box.

>> Darin: Yes, yes, yes. But no. And I was craving. And I had already had dinner. Of course I'd had dinner.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Yeah. Got my cereal. And now I've got a. I think I'm, I think I'm addicted again.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: I may go home and have another bowl of cereal, but it tastes better at night. And a few, couple months ago, when I was in Indianapolis for the Indy 500, the hotel where we were staying had their, continental breakfast. As a stretch. They. You could have, toast or bagels. And they had peanut butter and jelly, and there's oatmeal, and you could make your own waffle. And, I'm gonna use quote marks. Eggs. but they had three things, where you could pour your own cereal. And I was like. I was like, you know what? I might have some cereal. My God. They had Raisin Bran.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Cheerios.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: And Special K. Okay. And I said out loud in the lobby of this fine hotel.

Libby and her friends wanted to try Skyline Chile in Cincinnati

You've got space for cereal, and you've picked those.

>> Darin: The three most boring.

>> Mike: Why not throw Grape Nuts in there?

>> Darin: I know, right? Some all brand, have you. Good Lord.

>> Mike: I can't believe I've just now thinking about this. Have you ever done a little cold, Stone Creamery? If you've got ice cream and then put cereal in it?

>> Darin: I think I have. I think so. Yes.

>> Mike: But you gotta give. You gotta give up a little bit on life before you do that. You gotta, like.

>> Darin: Yeah, you do, right?

>> Mike: It's like Nicholas Cage and Leaving Las Vegas. You gotta hit that point, like, oh, yeah, this. This is what we're doing. I don't care.

>> Darin: Here's the deal. You can never ask me to quit.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: I will never quit.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: Yep. Leaving Las Vegas. That movie wasn't as funny as I thought it was.

>> Mike: No, I haven't seen it. I've just heard of. Are you serious? I really haven't heard. Oh, my God.

>> Darin: When you find out you have, like, two months left to live, that's one of the movies that you watch. It was so, so depressing. But I will say Nicholas Cage earned his Oscar for that.

>> Mike: Okay.

>> Darin: Man, that was a rough one. That was rough. That was. That was harder to watch than Million Dollar Baby. My God.

>> Mike: Are you threatening me? You will give me tv.

>> Darin: Libby had two of her high school friends come and, stay for three or four days at the house, and it was so much fun. Tammy and Laura. Actually, Libby has known them since she was in elementary school.

>> Mike: No.

>> Darin: Okay. She's known them forever. And they came up and it was so much fun having them around. And one night while they were at the house that somebody had told them, hey, while you're in Cincinnati, you need to go to Skyline Chile. And let me tell you something. If you've never been to Cincinnati, you do not have to go to Skyline.

>> Mike: Have to go. You don't know.

>> Darin: You really don't now. And I don't want Skyline Shelly getting all up in my ass. Some people love it. Okay. I've never been to a Skyline Shelly where there weren't a ton of people there. They make a. They have a very strong business. Their stores are always clean. Okay. The service is always very friendly. I even like their jingle. Okay. I don't like their food, but I told them I don't like their, their. You can get the three way. Okay. And it's, chili over spaghetti with about 45 pounds of cheese.

>> Mike: Yeah.

>> Darin: On top of grated cheddar cheese.

>> Mike: And it's nice cheese. It's decent cheese.

>> Darin: Pretty good cheese. The cheese is really, really good. But it's just a lot of cheese. And so they're like, yeah, we were told that we should really go and try it out. I'm like, we can do it if you want to do it. And so they're like, well, let's do that. But we just want to try it. I said, okay, because I don't, I really don't.

>> Mike: There is no try. You just do or do not at Skyline.

>> Darin: So we decided that we were going to go to Skyline and they were going to try a three way. Then they wanted to go to Culver's because 1. Cameron works at Culver's, you know, they wanted to try it out because Culver's has amazing hamburgers. Their hamburgers at Culver's are so yummy. Licious. Tasty. Tasty.


McDonald's has brought back the OG apple piece for 4th of July

So we're gonna go to Skyline, try the the three way. Then we're gonna go to Culver's and get some real food. And then they wanted to go to McDonald's because they heard that McDonald's for a limited time has brought back the apple piece for 4th of July.

>> Mike: Did it go away?

>> Darin: That's what everybody says. You didn't know?

>> Mike: No.

>> Darin: People were eating it and burning the roof of their mouth because. Because they made it with lava. Yeah, but it's like this is part of the experience. This is what you do with the apple pie. Yeah, you blow on it. Yeah, you blow on it. You dumb, you. Enough people complain that they pulled it off the menu and they brought it back and they brought. And it's the OG apple pie. And Tammy and Laura, their eyes were like bugged wide open. Like, are you serious? Like, yeah. So it's like, what do we do? What do we do? What do you do? And so that was the plan. We were going to go to Skyline, then we're going to go to Culver's, and then we're going to top it off with apple pies. Now when we said that, I said, okay, so this, we're going to go point A, point B. And then we're going to go to the McDonald's.

>> Darin: And living. Oh my God, no, you're not gonna do that again. And I said, garcon. And then they asked what that was, what I was doing. Who was I making fun of? Is that Billy Bob Thornton? No, no, no, that's my friend Mike. And then I told the story of, when we were in, Louisville. Louisville at the Metallica concert. And after the Metallica concert, you told our Uber driver, garcon, take us to the mate, take us to the McDonald's. And. And the Uber driver. Do you guys really Want to go to McDonald's? And you're like, take me to McDonald's. So,

>> Mike: hey, dare question me.

>> Darin: So I can't stop saying it. And I've called it the McDonald's.

>> Mike: Yeah, that's.

>> Darin: That's what, for years now, I can't call it McDonald's. It's the, McDonald's.

>> Mike: It is the McDonald's.

>> Darin: It's the McDonald's.

>> Mike: Yeah. So ask for it by name.

>> Darin: We ended up not going to McDonald's. But the next day, Laura had brought her son with her, and he's 14 years old. We were talking about, what are we gonna do today? And he said, are we gonna go to MacDonald's? He's 14. Yeah. So you have inspired.

>> Mike: There we go.

>> Darin: The next generation 14 year old boy.

>> Dave: There we go.

>> Darin: Take me to McDonald's.
