We got a donation!  Darin unintentionally upsets people, and is facing the prospect of finally returning to the office.  We discuss the #Saw series (kind of) and somehow end up talking about #Tenet and Christopher Nolan movies.  Some great questions from our listeners, and random football rules (literal rules for the ball - not the game).  More people wrote in with things that annoy them, and we s...

Darin saw that movie what Godzilla fights Kong in, and his wife wants him to buy a matching Spongebob outfit. We talk about the awesomeness that is #Gojira, as well as the new record store Mike went to buy it in. #Marvel decided to drop another amazing trailer, and duo discuss Marvelish things.

Textual Tension shows up on our podcast - and instantly regrets it! Hang out with us while we talk about their show, Fabio, squirrels, bartending owls, and more.  Mike goes to the movies for the first time in nearly two years - and spends it with a fat lizard and a big monkey.  The crew and Textual talk about inappropriate movie laughing moments, what they were doing in 1993 (hint - someone was be...

The duo got their 2nd Covid vaccine - and Mike turned into Rip Van Winkle for a weekend. Talks of travel - mostly about Mexico. OMG - will these two shut-up about diets and stuff?  Eh - not really.  Mike fasts, Darin has a wonderful Arby's moment, and the duo discuss the fun of milk (and oat milk).  Mike eats chicken - but won't eat crickets.  Confused?  So are we.  Also - weird dreams (...

The duo discuss their appearance on Textual Tension, and Darin remembers what it's like to have a baby in the house.  Darin got a gazebo, and Mike relays a story about a lawnmower in the living room.  We answer fan questions - and a ton more! Bonus - Darin has a KISS shirt signed by Slaughter.  Did you read that correctly, because clearly you didn't - if you had, you wouldn't be rea...

Can we get a restraining order against Chris Hughes?  Also - we got some pink flamingos from a mystery fan.  Darin's band still needs a name, and Mike tells stories about his visit to Ohio University - a place with tons of buildings.  A couple of stories from the old days involving bars, and Mike saves his dog by diving like an Avenger.  Darin gets help finding an AB bench and tells his &quot...

The IDS show gets a visit from Michael Flannery!  Michael calls in while in recovery from COVID-19, and shares some stories as well as an update on his situation.  Darin shares insights regarding exactly what type of fuel a kerosene heater takes, while Mike updates on the potential for an IDS Kro-Bar event.  Darin shares some tales of sleep-talking as well as kicks off a new segment - Concert Stor...

Mike tells some OU stories from back in the day - including the tale of the Taco Bell bike and the Court Street Shuffle.  Darin, at one point, feared that he had become the Pope - and Mike tells the story where he and some friends kinda, sorta, crashed the opening of Star Wars Episode 1, and encountered a severely drunk Yoda being interviewed by local news.  Finally, we end with listener questions...

Mike and Darin talk about their appearance on Textual Tension, and Darin goes into his TN trip (and the proper method to name your plumbing business).  Pink Flamingoes make an appearance because of course they do, and Mike discusses the enigmatic "Mystery Poo".  Panicked plunging can be accomplished with a dad's fist, and Saxsquatch is going on tour with John Oates!  Mike and Darin...

First episode with the new setup!  Mike gets teary-eyed during spreadsheet presentations, and Darin starts listener questions early - including making PB&J sandwiches, experiences with cats, the origin of babies, and gladiator movies.  Salsa comes up - again, and someone decides to eat a cotton ball.  Music comes up, featuring Lady Ga-Ga's cookies, Bruce Springsteen, NIN, Tool, Pearl Jam,...

The duo are gonna "take ya out behind the wood shed", and learn ya what real podcastin' is all about.  Actually, they're just gonna talk about random stuff like always.  Dave, the IDS announcer, gets a little lippy and that leads to talks about fights from the duo's childhood.  Chris Hughes get mentioned again for some odd reason, and we find out a listener's husband...

Buckle up, punks, and stow away the kids.  The quacker gets a work-out on this one:  Darin's quitting Orange Theory because of the music, and Mike's annoyed at needing a reason to exercise.  Discussions of salsa-mixing, over-salting oneself, and general gluttony ensues - culminating in Klondike bar fantasies, horse attacks, and Tums abuse.  Mike's theory on treating your body like a...

Mike kicks off this episode with a story about losing his wallet in France, as well as the difficulties in maintaining proper hygiene on long flights as well as unfortunately sized European garments.  We talk briefly about the Turkish airplane that had a bad tire, and Darin tells a story about Sbarro.  A devoted fan points out that the show has coined the phrase "pulling a Mike" - and Mi...

You don't put syrup on a salad - yep, that argument starts up again briefly.  The duo talk about cereal combinations, bands of the 80's (including Billy Idol, Phil Collins, Genesis, Paul Simon, Rush, and - uh - of course, U2).  Darin tells a story of a fan coming up to him after a show, and talks about meeting Jeff Foxworthy and The Monkees.  Darin and his mullet look like they should be...
