9. Underpants for Wookies

8. Playing the imaginary tuba

7. The Moose and the Gentle Alternative

6. Musical theatre productions about diesel engines and bathroom design

5. Fork Lifts and Pallet Jacks

4. The two-headed turkey

3. Playing in the Super Bowl… sorry that was the other Steve Young. Didn’t we mention that already?

2. The biggest issues of our time and trying to separate despair from hope

1. Why are hot dogs wet?

David Letterman had lots of writers and Steve Young is one of them! After the interview, stay tuned for the world premiere of a Steve Young original song. You won’t wanna miss it.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame finally got some things right, Darin apologizes to Rush fans (sort of), Mike joins an oatmeal subscription cult, and someone got engaged at Buc-ee's.

Also - Little Debbie Banana Pudding Snack Cakes, Kroger stories, and Mike witnessing a suspicious key hidden in a wheel well like he was living inside Breaking Bad.

And, of course: bloopers, nonsense, and classic IDS chaos.

In Episode 304 of Irritable Dad Syndrome, Mike and Darin bring the chaos with a story that starts at Easter dinner and spirals into one of the funniest moments in show history. Let’s just say… it wasn’t who you’d expect. 

But that’s just the beginning.

The guys revisit the legacy of Right Said Fred, debate whether a houseguest has secret beef with Darin, and absolutely torch Blade Runner in one of their most honest movie reviews yet.

Meanwhile:

•  Krispy Kreme commits the ultimate betrayal (RIP lemon-filled 🍩) 
•  A Burger King fry change sparks relationship tension 
•  Mike returns to Ohio University and reminisces his entire college experience 
•  A Kroger shopper turns a grocery run into a Cypress Hill concert 
•  And yes… Rush fans get fired up over the band keeping their name 

It’s nostalgia, family chaos, food rage, and classic IDS randomness—all in one episode.

🎧 Listen now and find out:

•  Who dropped the F-bomb 
•  Why Krispy Kreme is “dead to Darin” 
•  And whether Blade Runner actually holds up

Episode 303 of Irritable Dad Syndrome features April Fool’s Day chaos, a trip to Chicago to pick up a new car, and an unforgettable Uber ride with a driver named Peter.

Along the way, Mike and Darin share stories about a double date at a Lord of the Rings candlelight concert, restaurant mishaps, senior moments, and why some people seem to know way too much about knots.
