    IDS #171 - A Response from Nick Offerman

    #u2uvsphere #nickofferman #u2
    It's been weeks of us trying to get Nick Offerman to join us on Irritable Dad Syndrome, and guess what? He finally replied to our messages!

    In addition, Mike is set to see U2 at the Sphere and he's hoping they'll play their songs in a specific sequence - or else the fans might not be too pleased.

    Along with this, we'll be discussing sick dogs, unhappy bunnies and offering some tips for those dealing with back taxes. Trust us, you don't want to miss this episode - it might just send you into therapy!

    #THEOFFSPRING #JIMMYBUFFETT  #podcast
    In today's episode, the guys say goodbye to the legendary Jimmy Buffett, with Darin recounting a crazy incident involving unwanted attention towards his wife at a Buffett concert.
    Speaking of concerts... Darin took his son to The Offspring and they got to see a lot of weed and boobs!
    Oh and Mike ran into a yellowjacket and two of the worst children of all time while waiting in line for donuts.
    This episode is so gripping, you'll wish you could savor it like chocolate-dipped indulgence! #PodcastDiaries #TooGoodToMiss

    Dive into this week's episode where Darin spills the beans on his most cringe-worthy moment in his standup comedy career. Equal parts brutal and hilarious, it's a story you don't want to miss! 

    In other news, Mike finally defeated Lillith, Walmart is getting a major side-eye, and one listener sparks a debate: Does Kroger really sell the best milk ever? 
    This episode is bursting with hilarious bloopers and non-stop laughter from start to finish. Trust us, you'd be a fool to skip this one!"

I’m crying.

Just listened to episode 142 and that Kroger hot dog party story is one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard.

Irritable Dad Syndrome ,

Absolutely breathtaking!

The best podcast I’ve ever co-hosted. Clearly the podcast of champions.

Chowie Bates ,

Definitely Binge-worthy

I came across these two lunatics completely by accident, and haven’t looked back. They would fit into my crew like OJ’s hand in a glove…
