Irritable Dad Syndrome is a comedy podcast about two longtime friends trying to make sense of everyday life — and usually making things worse in the process.

Each week, Mike and Darin turn ordinary experiences into ridiculous conversations about marriage, parenting, pop culture, music, movies, getting older, questionable decisions, irritating people, and whatever else happens to derail the show.

It’s funny, unscripted, occasionally inappropriate, and built around the kind of conversations you’d have with your funniest friend when nobody responsible is around to stop you.

If you like comedy podcasts with real chemistry, hilarious stories, running jokes, pop-culture tangents, and absolutely no useful advice, you’ve found your people.

New episodes every week.
