This episode is built for the morning commute — because we’ve learned a lot of you listen while driving to work, walking the dog, or pretending to be productive at the gym. So we say: good morning… and then immediately derail into absolute nonsense.

Mike and Darin cover everything from classic action movies to Kurt Russell still somehow being dreamy at 70+, Sylvester Stallone’s Cobra, and the era of over-the-top ‘80s and ‘90s action films. Then we shift gears into music as Mike prepares to see Oasis, including stories about Liam Gallagher, stage antics, and why throwing instruments into crowds is apparently a workplace safety issue now.

Also in this episode:

• Morning routine humor
• Movie nostalgia and action film debates
• Oasis concert anticipation
• Classic dad brain tangents
• The kind of unstructured conversation that somehow turns into comedy

If you like funny podcasts for your commute, pop culture nostalgia, music stories, and unpredictable dad humor, this episode is pure Irritable Dad Syndrome energy.

This episode of Irritable Dad Syndrome welcomes special guest Mark Malkoff, host of the Inside Late Night podcast and creator of the long-running Carson Podcast, a show dedicated to the legacy of Johnny Carson and the golden era of late night television.

Mark shares behind-the-scenes stories from interviewing over 400 people connected to The Tonight Show, Saturday Night Live, David Letterman, Conan O’Brien, and other legends of late night comedy. The conversation dives into what it takes to research and host deep-dive interviews, how Mark landed high-profile guests early in his podcasting journey, and why Johnny Carson’s influence on modern comedy is still massive.

Mike and Darin also talk with Mark about:

• Podcasting research and interview preparation
• Comedy history and late night television culture
• Johnny Carson’s impact on stand-up comedy
• Interviewing celebrities and comedy legends
• How podcasting can uncover forgotten entertainment stories

If you enjoy comedy podcasts, entertainment history, late night TV, or behind-the-scenes stories from the world of stand-up and talk shows, this episode is a must-listen.

This episode of Irritable Dad Syndrome features stand-up comedian Georgia Warder, who joins Mike and Darin for a funny and surprisingly thoughtful conversation about how comedians are made.

Georgia shares stories about growing up in a small town, Appalachian roots, and how early life experiences shape a comedian’s voice. The conversation covers the path from everyday life to open mics, moving across the country to pursue opportunities, and how stand-up comedy often grows out of awkward, uncomfortable, or unexpected moments.

Mike and Darin also explore with Georgia:

• How comedians discover their stage voice
• Growing up in small-town America and regional humor
• The role of life experience and “trauma” in comedy
• First open mic experiences
• The difference between performing for different types of audiences
• The unpredictable world of stand-up shows

It’s part comedy interview, part life story, and part behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to get on stage and make strangers laugh.

If you enjoy stand-up comedy podcasts, comedian interviews, or stories about the journey into comedy, this episode blends humor and insight in classic IDS style.

This week, some punk tried to steal a pool noodle from Darin and Mike sometimes uses a laundry basket instead of luggage when staying in a hotel.

And we apologize to DEVO and goats for some things that happened last week, this episode is off the chain. Special thanks to Jim Timmerman.

After attending two Devo concerts, Darin wakes up with a swollen eye and jumps to the only logical conclusion: the band gave him pink eye. What follows is a medical investigation, an on-air apology to Devo, and the discovery of a condition called blepharitis.

Add goat yoga, sheep sound effects confusion, and classic dad overreaction energy, and you’ve got one of the most absurd episodes yet.
