Cool Dad Shirt

About Cool Dad Shirt

Like a Saturday morning catch-up with your funniest friends, this podcast blends dad life, nostalgia, and absurdity into nonstop laughs... 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.

   Send us Fan Mail Cool Dad Shirt Podcast – Episode 48: Pickleball, Fluffaccino Lawsuits & the Secret Ingredient in Dad's BBQ Chicken A dad-podcast that proves nostalgia pairs perfectly with pickleball courts, six-foot heroes, and the occasional stray cigarette ash.
