Cool Dad Shirt
Think of it as Seinfeld meets Top Gear, recorded from a midlife man cave... Mike and Rich deliver the kind of humor that feels like catching up with your funniest friends on a Saturday morning Home Depot run. The Cool Dad Shirt Podcast is a hilarious, coffee-loving ode to suburban dad life, hosted by lifelong friends, who are just trying to stay “hip” while raising daughters and surviving modern adulthood... one absurd conversation at a time. The banter is quick and the tangents are wild. Each episode blends nostalgia, music geekery, and everyday dad disasters—from burnt toast, to blown-out speakers, aging parents, and vacuuming up hornets. It’s essentially a lifestyle podcast for dads who still own band tees, discuss alien life, and celebrate the awesomeness of fatherhood. In short, the Cool Dad Shirt Podcast indulges the art of: being funny, nostalgic, and examining the preposterous.

We talk about why dads want to lock the fridge and manually override the thermostat. Do old movies stand the test of time? 2024 was a great year for shed management.

Lots of questions in this episode... but we're certain that cursive is dead.
