Ep 38 - The "Yule Log" of DJ-ing

Send us Fan MailWelcome 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.#CoolDadShirtPodcast, #funnypodcast, #dadhumor, #yachtrock, #DJPapaWanti, #lawnmowerstories, #petpeeves, #DavidSpade, #KevinOLeary, #TaylorSwift, #SharkTank, #oldsayings, #dadlife, #parentingpodcast, #laundryday
