Buckle up—literally. In this episode of The Cool Dad Shirt Podcast, Rich and Mike hit 126 mph in a Porsche, dodge a hornet in a vacuum cleaner, and debate whether game shows economics are stuck in 1987 prize budgets. From grocery cart vigilantes to the imperial system’s grocery aisle betrayal, this episode is a hilarious ride through dad life, nostalgia, and everyday absurdities.

Also on deck:

• Can soup pass as a urine sample? (Asking for a friend.)
• Is Norah Jones the most universally loved artist ever?
• Why your grill might be secretly covering Replacements songs.
• The great cowboy boot regret of middle school.
• And the eternal question: When should someone’s phone be taken away?

If you've ever worn a Wilson's leather jacket or whistled to Bobby McFerrin in aisle 5, this one’s for you.

Subscribe, rate, and review—because cool dads deserve cool podcasts.

Welcome to The Cool Dad Shirt Podcast, where suburban dad life, music nostalgia, and questionable logic collide.

Rich and Mike are in top form, spinning yarns about everything from hypnotic DJ dads to lawnmowers that refuse to die (“It’s like they’re running on spite and old gas.").

Even stumbled upon a cable music channel featuring a middle-aged man in a black shirt, headphones, and sunglasses, pretending to DJ while sipping wine? Rich has, and he can’t get enough of “DJ Papa Wanti”—the Yule Log of yacht rock. Is he really mixing tracks, or is this just the Truman Show for background music lovers? We may never know, but we’re here for it.

Meanwhile, Rich’s lawnmower is a legend. Despite years of neglect and prayers for its demise, it starts up like a champ—on old gas, no less. Clearly, the ‘90s were the golden age of lawn equipment.

But the real drama unfolds in the kitchen. Mike’s pet peeve? Light wash items (like baking sheets) ending up under heavy wash items (like plates covered in tomato sauce and salad bowls with ranch dressing). Suddenly, a simple wipe-down turns into a full-blown cleaning ordeal. And don’t get us started on grocery lists that send you zigzagging through the store like a contestant on Supermarket Sweep.

Other highlights:

• Old-timey sayings: “Get them on the horn!” and “Bob’s your uncle”—because why say it simply when you can say it like your grandpa?
• Kevin O’Leary out of context: Seeing him jam on guitar in dad jeans is as jarring as running into your math teacher at the grocery store.
• New washer and dryer excitement: Mike’s latest appliance delivery is so thrilling, he wouldn’t even notice if the TV got stolen.

Tune in for laughs, life hacks, and a healthy dose of dad energy. Whether you’re into yacht rock, lawn care, or the eternal struggle of the kitchen sink, this episode has something for every cool dad (and mom!) out there.

In this episode of the Cool Dad Shirt Podcast, Rich and Mike bounce through a whirlwind of hilarious and thought-provoking topics—ranging from sugar-fueled nightmares and accidental identity theft to the mystery of Uranus’. They tackle fluff sandwich ingredients, Irish vs.Italian goodbyes, and whether a hole through the Earth would be a gentle fall or instant doom. Plus, they get nostalgic over FM radio hits, share tech upgrades, and explore the high-pressure politics of watching TikTok's your spouse sends. It’s unscripted, unexpected, and unapologetically entertaining.

Topics Covered:

• Nightmare Fuel: How late-night desserts and HBO’s White Lotus collided into an identity-theft dream Mike can’t unsee.
• Uranus vs. "Yourness": A very serious (kind of) debate about the pronunciation of the seventh planet and space revisionist history.
• Gravity & Freefall Theories: Would you bounce at Earth’s core or die instantly? A surprisingly deep dive.
• Fluff Ingredients Exposed: A shocking four-ingredient list that starts with sugar and ends with sugar. Kind of.
• Irish vs. Italian Goodbyes: Quick exits vs. long family sendoffs—where do you fall?
• Rush's “Spirit of Radio”: Why FM radio hits different and how that song still rocks.
• New iPhones & Tech Anxiety: Rich and Mike compare new phone purchases and the panic of syncing in-store.
• Honking Regret: Do we need an “I’m sorry” horn? Yes. Yes, we do.
• Couples & TikToks: Navigating the treacherous world of when to watch your partner’s social videos.
• Knife Sharpening Confessions: Steel vs. stone—are you doing it right?

Episode Extras:

• Mike’s theory that Neil deGrasse Tyson might be responsible for changing "Uranus"
• A lovable PSA on the delightful (and tasty) varieties of sugar inside fluff jars
• An actual call for a physicist guest to help settle the gravity debate
