IDS #17 - You're Bothering People
12/22/20 • 65 min
The Christmas Episode!
Rough start, some merch talk, and a review! Mike has finally, after 16 episodes, learned a simple editing task that everyone on the planet has known for decades. We discuss MORE issues with Star Wars, and talk a bit about an aspect of The Mandalorian that flipped Mike out. We touch on Tom Hanks and Robin Williams doing serious roles. Someone sent a case of Zero bars to the irritable duo! Chestnuts come up - and Darin is shocked that this leads to more discussion than it probably should have. Darin discusses a short story by Dave Sedaris, and Mike talks about getting to Return of the King in the latest Lord of the Rings viewing with the kids - and how that led to about 30 minutes of ugly crying. We unleash a new segment - "Duh!" - and have a Just Stop about people getting too opinionated about how YOU like your burgers/steak/etc. Finally, we end with Christmas presents!

IDS #16 - How Did They Build the Death Star?
This one's a doozy. Mike and Darin start off arguing like a pair of old codgers, and lead into Mike's rant about EVERYTHING on the internet needing to be a video these days. Once hopped up on a Monster energy drink, the show shifts into high gear and tackles such topics as dog-poo flinging etiquette, the physics and science of Star Wars: how to build a Death Star, Cantina music, AT-AT's (also known as giant camel tanks), each planet's "theme", and WTF is up with Bespin?!? A few customer service stories, listener Just Stops, and Mike's family's new obsession with Lord of the Rings. Finally - we end the show with a taste test of a flippin' Zero bar.

IDS #18 - What's the Deal With All These Thermal Detonators?
Season 1 Finale - and we're going out in.....well, style?
Mike's brain is not working right quite from the start of the show, and it goes sideways from there. Goats are mentioned, and two titans of the donut industry are discussed. The two discuss recent cough patterns (hey, they're not all gonna be winners, folks) - and some talk about The Last Jedi and The Mandalorian (we heard that if we talk about Star Wars for five episodes in a row, we get a free Jawa!). Darin has a story that connects Cranberry Sprite and Colt 45 - and we answer a listener question about croutons.
