Send us a text

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
