In this week's episode, Darin had his first-ever encounter with a major fan of the show in the wild! Additionally, he and his wife Libby are considering a career in professional grocery bagging.

Mike made the choice to let his young, impressionable son watch Goodfellas, believing it to be more suitable than The Godfather.

Don't miss Darin's review of the Southern Culture on the Skids concert... SPOILER ALERT: they announced they will be guests on this podcast!!

It's a fantastic day to tune into a podcast... especially THIS one! We appreciate and love our listeners.

Mike and Darin welcome guest J Ryan, who shares one of the wildest stories ever told on the show—how he ended up with David Letterman’s actual microphone from the Ed Sullivan Theater.

The conversation dives into late-night TV history, comedy careers, obsession, and the strange decisions that sometimes pay off in unforgettable ways.

We also dive deep into a heartfelt conversation about J's amazing wife, Nicole, and their journey since her Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis.

Mike and Darin face an uncomfortable possibility: they may have unknowingly borrowed a joke that wasn’t theirs. What follows is a funny, honest discussion about comedy, influence, and originality.

They talk radio history, joke theft, and how bits can sneak into your brain without permission. It’s part self-reflection, part comedy nerd deep dive.

A rare behind-the-scenes look at how comedians think about their own material.

Mike and Darin rant about corporate nonsense, marketing buzzwords, confusing loyalty programs, and lyrics that make absolutely no sense.

From Old Navy rewards to workplace absurdity, this episode is packed with frustration that somehow turns into comedy. Along the way, logic breaks down and side tangents take over—as they should.

If modern life makes you tired, you’ll feel very seen here.

Music debates take over as Mike and Darin argue Metallica albums, band T-shirts, and whether people wearing them actually know the music.

Add in Easter candy excess, Peeps hangovers, movie talk, and the art of throwing bad information into conversations just to see who notices—and you’ve got a classic IDS episode.

Loud opinions, strong nostalgia, and zero apologies.
