Emoji Battles, Koozie Logic, and the $1 Million Nap

It's pure suburban chaos, seasoned with Pop-Tarts, guilt-fueled quesadillas, and one man’s war with his paper towel dispenser. This week, we're diving into the deep, dark world of emoji management, where a single borderline inappropriate icon can haunt your "recently used" panel for 60 days! Hear about the tactical use of other emojis to push out the offending one and a hilarious family text mishap involving a puff of smoke instead of a sad face.

Plus, get ready for some serious dad dilemmas:

Road Rage with Siri: Does your car's navigation system pressure you into running a red light? You're not alone!

The Cold Beverage Commitment: Find out why carrying a koozie (or is it a cozy?) in your pocket—even at a restaurant—is a total game-changer for one dedicated cold-drink enthusiast.

Force of Habit: The physics of paper towel rolls... The simple terror of accidentally buying full-size paper towels after a decade of select-a-size-induced wrist action.

The Great Underwear Announcement: A very confident declaration from one dad that was met with applause.

The Sound Man Confessional: Hear the top three insulting/confusing things a sound man is asked, including being mistaken for the DJ or, worse, the waiter!

Bee Redemption: From unintentional bee slayer to full-blown honey advocate.

Finally, we talk about the mystery of an opening car trunk solved (it's not low bass frequencies, sadly) , the surprising shame of an oversized chicken quesadilla , and the real story behind the "spend the night in a negative 24.9 dB room for $1,000,000" challenge.

Stick around for the Cool Dad Tip of the Week: how to fund your retirement with a 2% cash-back credit card —it's like forced savings and free money!

Esquire raves: "The Cool Dad Shirt podcast is marginally entertaining, sometimes funny, and strangely appealing to hot moms". What more could you ask for?

It’s chaos, dad logic, and comedy gold — all wrapped in a crispy cinnamon Pop-Tart.

Dive into another crispy edition of the Cool Dad Shirt Podcast, where nothing goes according to plan—just the way we like it! Expect spontaneous bucket tumbles, burnt breakfast disasters, and a deep existential rant about waiting for a stop sign to turn green (spoiler: it never does). If life’s got you feeling like burnt toast, you’re in the right place!

Lightning, Bees, and “Be Safe”

The dads swap wild stories—like surviving an electrical storm on a boat with hair literally standing on end and a suspenseful bee attack so severe, it required Raid and leather gloves (and nearly set the neighborhood ablaze). Safety tips? Not welcome here—we prefer our podcast risky and our arguments spicy!

Oral Suppositories (Swallow At Your Own Risk)

Don’t miss one of the greatest medical mix-ups in podcast history: a guest swallows a suppository and consults poison control, only to learn he’ll live to laugh about it (and so will everyone else). This headline is your warning: read before ingesting!

Listener Movie Showdowns & Alien Hot Takes

Mike Wiseman returns to roast a past movie review and debate the genius of “Dirty Work.” The hosts plot a future episode with an alien guest (IT support from space?). From aliens to controversial catchphrases like “reach out,” they cover every weird internet rabbit hole—so the SEO gods will be pleased!

Pickle Season: A Work in Progress

Pickle talk turns sour as legendary family recipes get tested and tossed—turns out, not every batch is share-worthy. The journey to pickle perfection is just another ongoing dad project!

Tune in and subscribe for new episodes where grievances are aired, listeners are roasted, and every tangent is a potential headline! Like, review, or just keep listening for more dad wisdom and wit!
