Description

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 medication
• Teaching kids how to navigate college campuses while barely navigating yourself
• Door-to-door sales pitches that absolutely refuse to end
• Cancellation policies designed by actual villains
• Old-school customer service stories from grocery stores that feel like science fiction now

The 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.
