IDS #287 - Frank's Deer Urine Black Friday Sale

Black Friday marketing has officially gone too far.Sometimes the funniest things in life are the ones you never actually stop to investigate — like a roadside business that proudly advertises Frank’s Deer Urine.In this episode of Irritable Dad Syndrome, Mike and Darin go deep into one of the strangest recurring sights from years of road trips: a hand-painted sign for Frank’s Deer Urine, including the unforgettable promise of a Black Friday sale. Along the way, they wonder how such a business even operates, why you wouldn’t want “cloudy urine,” and why some small towns seem to revolve entirely around one deeply unsettling attraction.The episode spirals outward into classic IDS territory, including:Getting lost despite being “good with directions”Forgetting basic information like your own medicationTeaching kids how to navigate college campuses while barely navigating yourselfDoor-to-door sales pitches that absolutely refuse to endCancellation policies designed by actual villainsOld-school customer service stories from grocery stores that feel like science fiction nowThe conversation also detours into pop culture, covering Star Wars re-releases, Lord of the Rings marathons, The Shining returning to theaters, Stanley Kubrick’s obsession with detail, and why doing 75 takes of anything might be deeply irresponsible.It’s a long, loose episode packed with nostalgia, frustration, accidental philosophy, and one fake sponsor that somehow feels more real than most ads you hear.#IrritableDadSyndrome #ComedyPodcast #FunnyPodcast #DadPodcast#PopCulturePodcast #RoadTripStories #SmallTownAmerica#NostalgiaPodcast #CustomerService #GenXPodcast#HolidayTravel #ComedyTalkSupport the showThank you so much for listening to this episode!  If you like what we do, please check out our other content!
