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

Welcome 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.

Transcript

Yes, there is. Are you recording this, rich? I hit the record button, so we were OK. You look like Barbara Walters. You're very soft.

Well, I I'm sitting next to a window. The sun is setting right now. It's. I got these sheer and it's I got that.

Welcome to this episode of the Cool Dad Shirt Podcast. I like how some podcasts start with a summary of the show. They say stuff like, oh, in this week's episode we spoke about. It's obvious that they wait till the episode's over. You know, they get a little drink of water, and then they get back and they record that. Wouldn't it be fun if we did that without even doing the show?

Yeah.

Like start with the wrap. Up, even though we haven't done the show, I'm thinking this makes a minute and a half long.

Sure.

Well, we don't know what the show's going to be, but we could do like a a pre show summary before we even record it. See how close we are. You want uh, you want just do a quick one line here from from our notes and then just see.

Where it goes.

Like I'm almost thinking. In this episode, we talk about the random photo. Of an old middle-aged man dressed like a waiter deejaying that rich. Me mikes new washer and dryer? How Mike's pet peeve is when light wash items get mixed under heavy washed items and how rich turns to mowing his lawn. For podcast inspiration. All this and more in this week's episode of The Cool Dad Shirt Podcast.

It's going to be funny.

Did you want to take a stab?

We talk about all the bits I steal from the movie, Tommy Boy Lawn mowers that will not die. How much I love old sayings and seeing people like Kevin Leary O'Leary out of context is like seeing your teacher at the grocery store. Perfect. There's that random photo of a dad with a black shirt on deejaying and all you said was remind me to talk about this. On the next show, I'm glad you did because I forgot. Now I'm calling it up on my phone right now. We have to see my granddaughter, her birthday, and on the TV in the background of the house, there was just this. I don't even know what it it was some like music channel on the cable out at Rochester. I don't even know what it was. The It's yacht rock. The West Coast Sound DJ Papa Wanti, DJ, Papa, Wanti dude, I couldn't this was so hypnotic this guy.

He looks like a dad who waiters part time at a steakhouse and DJ's on.

The side this guy is just sitting there, so imagine you always got a black shirt and tie on. He's got headphones on sunglasses and he's sitting in front of like a little DJ. Turntable. Type thing. There's a little dog holding a small wine glass off to his right. He's got he's got a Mac computer that he keeps looking at and a glass of wine sitting there. And these songs just, you know, it's just songs you know and love from the 80s. It's yacht rock. It's got a chill and mellow for background music. He just sort of does this a little bit. He takes his sip of wine.

Sure.

And he, like, turns the knob. It's doing nothing. He's turning knobs and just doing stuff like that. And then he, you know, looks over. He's checking things, he's tapping stuff on the. And this just went on for way over an hour. It was just. I'm the president in the background and I could not stop watching. Does the station just invite guest DJ's to come in? I don't know. The the cable platform. If it's a show that runs an hour and they get somebody else and I have no idea. It's just like the.

Yeah.

Old never, never before Spotify and all that stuff like that they had in Pandora. Your cable channel actually had music channels on.

Yeah, still goes.

It your cable. Provider had channels. Yeah. So it's the same. Yeah, but instead of just having like a, you know, a lava lamp in the background. You. There's a guy actually pretending to. Jay and who paused momentarily to have a sip of wine and he was way into it.

Well, that's an interesting point. I wonder if he really is deejaying or if he's just pretending to DJ and there's some random playlist that just comes on anyway, almost like the Yule log of deejaying, it's not really a fire I am.

Confident it's the you'll fog of DJ. His movements were not lining up with anything between songs, but he was. He was grooving and.

It would be so great if he was only on like a 3 minute loop. And you could tell like every time the loop restarts of his movements and like the sip of the wine, it's like the Truman Show. And here comes the sip of wine at one minute 12. Seconds. There it is.

The glass is always.

Full after three minutes, someone comes and fills this glass up and we don't even see it happen. We.

Don't even see. Slight of hand. It's amazing. Nice to have some context around that random photo you sent. Yes, which I totally forgot. Thanks for reminding me as I instructed you to. Yeah. #1 on my list this week. Coming home from work today. You mentioned mowing the lawn. It's been super, super rainy here for many, many days. And today we had a break and it was finally a dry day with a little bit of. And driving down my street, there was kids riding bikes everywhere. There were moms pushing strollers and every dude was scrambling to get their lawn mower out. I think there's rain for the next couple of days, right? So it's. Ohh yeah, we got. Yeah. So this is our our our only chance to get in there. Yeah. Ironically or I shouldn't say ironically it's I guess it's not ironic at all my lawnmower which I have not maintained in many years hoping it will die it did not die it started right up it took 4 poles this time and runs like a champ with old gas in it from last year I'm I'm actually I could be I could be brought up on charges. Their views at this point, but it's still going.

Apparently there's been a long history of really well made lawnmowers out there that just keep on going. You can't kill them again. Future GO Kart engines even go karts now are electric. When you go to places. That's true. Yeah, yeah, yeah, a lot. Are you? You really miss miss that smell of fumes that would stick to your clothes? Where everybody would say ohh you must have went go karting today. How do you know?

You smell like exhaust fumes. The lung cancer is way down, but you're really missing out on the smell of gasoline. It's like a, you know, it's a part of the soundtrack of your life. You know, it's always kind of been there for that stuff.

We talk about dreams a lot on the show. My dad mentioned a dream that has been reoccurring for him, he says. He's dreaming that he's playing golf and he wakes up every time and he doesn't know if he's under par or over par.

And it makes him.

Crazy. He keeps having the same dream, OK? That would, yeah, like.

It's.

He said. I do everything I can, he said. Sometimes I wake up, I try to go back to sleep, he said. I always wake up and I never know. I never know and it haunts him the remainder of the day, every time, every time.

And. Never know if I'm under or over par. Forget score. I just. I just wanna know, am I over under par? That's not. That's not asking too much. Really. No. So old time sayings there. There's always a few. I had one I heard over overheard. Somebody at work. Make a statement. It makes me laugh. This is one of the ones everybody like. I'm going to try. Let's try. To bring it back, let's try to see. It'll catch on. I heard somebody say. Get them on the horn. I have questions about subwoofers, so I'm going to I'm going to get Crutchfield on the horn. I got some questions.

Yeah. Call them and get.

See if we.

Can do. Don't even know how that started, but it cracks me up on the warn. Yeah, that is a good one. I wish you gave me a heads up. I would love to have prepared some great old time sayings. There's so many of them.

The good one?

That.

There are.

I can't remember a single one.

Right now my my buddy Lance always likes to use and Bob's your uncle as a way to complete. You know, if you do something, you fix it and it's all done. And Bob's your uncle. Apparently it's an old English saying, but it makes me laugh every time.

I'm convinced that my wife spitefully makes shopping lists for me. Sometimes I don't mind going to the store, picking up some groceries. In fact, I enjoy it from time to time, but her grocery item list is so random that I almost need to put it in an Excel document and sort it based on. Order of appearance in the grocery store. I go in the grocery store last week, the first item on there is like. Milk and then it goes to lettuce, which is on the other end of the store and then it's sour cream chicken.

Those things are not near each other in any.

Grocery store and like an idiot, when I first went in there, I fell for it. The first 3 or 4 items I'm like alright. Ohh shoot, let me go back to sorry on aisle one. Ohh yeah I said no way. So I'm gonna take a time out and I'm gonna rewrite this list based on the order that I am familiar with of this grocery stores layout.

To excel we go. That's a good. Yeah. Yeah. And you can just filter it on produce, meat, dairy, so on and so.

4th.

And I thought how great it would be if there was a standardization of grocery store layout and I understand they want to get you, they want to put the milk on the other end of the store. So you kind of weave through a few aisles. It would be nice if every grocery store you walked into was like lettuce, carrots, celery, potatoes, you know, onions produce. You make a left, you come around and then it's paper towels, garbage bags, plastic bags, dish soap. Make another right now you got your pastas, your spices. Your salad dressings, you know what? I'm.

Saying yeah, so I I've never looked do grocery store apps do this for you, is there? I've never, never even tried, but it seems like if that hasn't been invented, people should have an app that you just type it in and it sorts out your your route for you.

Yeah, you pick the grocery store that you want to shop at, you put your list in, and it shuffles your list. Based on.

Order. We're going to get a deluge of mail saying you idiots. That was invented 12 years ago.

I might look into this and do some searching and see if this exists. It'll make my shopping easier, so I mentioned this whole thing about this pet peeve. Light wash items under. Have you washed items? You know, I'm going.

Yeah. With this I'm not sure cause I may I may have an entirely different opinion.

So here's what drives me mad. Kids decide to make something on a baking sheet, so to avoid a big mess. Clean up. They'll put a sheet of aluminum foil on top of the baking sheet, therefore not a messy baking sheet, but what happens is they'll RIP the aluminum foil off and then they'll just throw instead of putting the baking sheet away, which is clean because nothing's touched it. It'll find its way in the sink, and then the next thing that comes along is an empty plate that had tomato sauce on it. And then on top of that is a salad bowl that he'll still has some some ranch dressing. So now you have a perfectly clean cooking sheet at the bottom of the sink and now you have a dish with tomato sauce and a bowl with ranch dressing on it. So now instead of just a little light wipe of the baking dish, now you got to get in there. It's covered with two other items. Now. You got to roll up your sleeves and get in there and give that thing a good old fashioned cleaning. Yeah. There's no way around it. Yes, that's my pet peeve about light wash items falling under. Have you washed items? Ah, that makes way more sense. I thought when you said light wash, we were talking about clothes. She.

All the cycles on these these machines that I will tell you, my entire life I have always done every load of laundry as long as I've lived just pure cold water. There's just one setting. It's regular setting cold water. Somehow I've gotten through life with no options. We just got a new washer and dryer.

Delivered yesterday.

Oh, nice. Congratulations.

Yeah. Thanks. It's it's an exciting appliance that I have.

I didn't.

If someone stole the TV, I wouldn't even notice. I wouldn't be bothered. The washer and dryer. I would be really upset about the new ones. To your point, they have so many features on them. They're things that I'll never even understand. You almost can't avoid them even like the basic machines have all these settings that I'll likely never use. So this one's got some crazy features. It's got a super deep tub which is nice. A bunch of different cycles and it took me about 15 minutes to figure out how to override and just wash and cold with a high spin and you know, no additional rinses and the dryer. I didn't even realize. This it has a water line that goes to it and you could steam clean your clothes as well. Again these are features that I'll I'll you know probably never use but it was an exciting exciting delivery day for us here at the cool dad studio south.

Well, give it some run time. You can report back and give us a full review of the 200 features you don't use.

Our old dryer. It was so loud and rickety, everybody would go in their rooms and close their doors, put their air buds in. It was so obnoxious. We lived two weeks with that thing. It was like metal to metal grinding.

Oh.

Oh, that is the worst.

I looked last week underneath. There's like, random plastic parts laying on the floor. I'm like, Oh yeah, that's this makes sense now the whole family would would go to bed at night, angry at everybody because they were tortured by the sound of this thing. Every night, kids would look at me in such disappointment.

Or just shreds and berries. This is your job, man. This is your department, dad. Yeah, fix this, dad. You're talking about Kevin O'Leary. The guy from Shark Tank. And I I think you're chatting on the phone, and I I made some reference to him talking about you. You never know what's going to strike gold. And you, you do your best. Guess as smart as he is and as wealthy as he is. You know, sometimes you get it right.

Default.

To do and he was shocked to find out that a cat DNA test was the one that just cashed in a boatload of of money for him. And so we were just chatting about that. You you made a good point about his other skills. Why don't you say what else you saw him to?

Yeah, I've I've seen many of his guitar videos, which are uncomfortably delightful. I don't know how other how else to explain them? It seems so out of character seeing him all dressed up in Shark Tank, making decisions about acquisitions and investments makes perfect sense. Seeing him in some dad jeans. At home in like your average dining room with this guitar and Guitar amp playing. It's so out of place and it just seems so out of character. I I can't wrap my head around it no matter how many times I see it, it seems like a joke, but he genuinely is really interested in and into that hobby.

Yeah. And I mean, he looks great. He's he's getting it done it. It's just, it's funny, it's it's so out of context. It's like, like when you were a kid and you went to the grocery store and you saw a teacher and it just it just bent your brain. It just. It just seems impossible that they were anything else other than just your math.

Teacher, I think I would feel better if he played guitar. While wearing a suit and tie like that would be an easier transition for.

Yes.

You know, yeah, but seeing him in like AT shirt. And jeans.

The reason I like you. Is. Because you're so business proper. What are you?

Doing just at the outfit, it's not even the guitar, it's the outfit that makes me uncomfortable.

That's a funny experiment. What would that look like if he was dressed like Shark Tank? Laying into some 38 Special power.

Yeah.

Cords playing the best of 38 Special bad company and fog hat.

Ohh man that would be something to see. Let's get him on the horn. We. Can see if he can set that up.

I'm going to. Tie them up, see if we can get them to to at least record a couple of videos while dressed up in a suit. Speaking of guitars, I have this dilemma. I've played drums my whole life, but there's something about the guitar, the amp and all those pedals that just draws me in and and I almost I'm not kidding. Third days, I think to myself, I'm getting a little bit older. I can't lug this stuff around anyway.

Now we're talking.

Maybe it's time I sell it all. I take the money, I double down, I get a ridiculously nice one of those high end Dad amps where? He doesn't know how to play it, but he makes a few bucks and had some. Money to spend. So he overspent on something he does not need. That and.

Some booty handwired though, yes.

Some boutique. Yeah. With it. I'm number six of 15 made. I can't help and I see people with these guitars and they're so nice. Gonna happen. I know it's probably gonna happen at some.

It's.

Point. I'm gonna pan the camera to the right and you're not going to see drums one week and you're gonna think. Ohh yeah. Mike. Must be tidying up down there in the studio and. Then the following. Week you're going to see some ridiculously unnecessary 412 cabinet with some super high End amp head, a couple guitars and pedals all over the floor, and then you're gonna start a fight with me about fuzz pedals and whether germanium or silicone transistors make for a better fuzz sound. It's all the rage.

No, I get it. Drums are drums are super cool in retirement. I hope to take a stab at getting better at those, but there's something great about the guitar. It's very portable. I mean, the the drums are very difficult and they're very loud. I mean, you can go the electronic kit route, but it it's a huge footprint, you know. To it doesn't lend itself well to playing under the tree on a picnic.

I'm wondering how hard it is to learn guitar this late.

In life? Well, here's the thing. It's not, but once you're in the club, you can't tell people how easy it is. You gotta make the faces like you're struggling. It's it's gotta look hard. But it's it's way easier, you know, you got the the initial thing. It kind of hurts your fingers at 1st and changing chords. You got a couple months of getting over a hump.

So you see.

And after that it's just, uh, it's.

Magic. Alright, so you're saying? Let me get this down here. So you're saying.

It's easier, it's.

Don't tell anybody. OK. Exactly. Yeah. Lessons. OK, I got that.

Rich, you don't have to keep time like a drummer. You just wander all over the place and you know.

Lover, bring it around. You can end on one. Let them figure it out. You can.

You can say you're playing jazz or your avant-garde by ending on three and.

Yeah, I'm over the bar again. Cares. This is jazz, baby. I'm playing at six, nine time, man. Figure it out dude.

If you can't. Listen, if you can't keep up with this, I don't know what to tell you.

My dog loves cappuccino. Go on. Here's what happens on Sunday morning. I'll make a couple lattes. Bring one in to my wife. Bring one in for me and I'll come back and I'll look over. And the dog will be standing over on my pillow, licking the foam off the top of my latte. And I will say to my wife, why is the dog drinking my latte and she will reply with? I didn't know. I am so sorry. Make yourself another one. Likely story.

Hmm.

I recently recently spent some time with my mom and I don't know why it took me so long to realize this, but a lot of my my sense of humor does come from her. She is a unique way of looking at things and it's it's something that we. There and I got to thinking that that kind of makes sense. Where I get my sense of humor, but also at the same time, I listen to a podcast and and at the fly on the wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade, they had the director on of Tommy Boy because it's the 30th anniversary of that awesome, awesome movie. And so while watching I. I dialed it up again just to see if it still holds up, and it does. I also realized that all my Zinger 1 liners that I have I completely stole from David Spade.

His one liners are very subtle. They're not overly deliberate, so you got to pay attention to catch them, and whenever you do after like a second pause, they kind of sink in and come together. And you realize how funny they.

Are you might have mentioned this before, I think. I think when he was talking about his stand up career getting going and he just kept bobbing and bobbing, he had no traction. Some guy at the bar when he came down the the guy said, you know, the little things you said in between the jokes were actually the funniest part of your show. Do more of. Of those, so I I think he honed his craft around some feedback from somebody in the audience and and he's a master at it.

They sting a bit too, but they are funny.

Well, he got super. He got super famous with that Hollywood minute back at SNL, where it was just the most sarcastic, rude insults of celebrities, which was very funny for us. But I I think he got in a lot of Stone Temple Pilots was were very upset with him for a while because he he. They said, oh, SP. Yeah, they're they're.

The.

Great. I liked him better when they were called. Jim and I remember Scott Ryan. I think he was like, really angry for a period of time because it's all good now, you know, you know, we, we we patched things up. But he goes, yeah, listen there. There's they're stupid jokes. Please don't take any of this seriously. Bill Burr talks about those grunge bands. He said how much he hated Pearl Jam because back in the 80s, he was into all the hair.

Metal bands like Skid Row, Cinderella. When Nirvana came out he thought ohh OK, that that's fine. It's a one. Off and then Pearl Jam came out and he realized that this is the end of that error. So he felt as though that grunge movement killed all his favorite bands, so he hated Pearl Jam for a really long time.

Well, that timeline is accurate, that, that, that is what happened. There was definitely a shift with all of that. It's funny to hear Paul Gilbert, who famous guitar player from the 80s he was in, Mr. Big Racer, XA, Little inside baseball, but he is an amazing guitar player. He he has classes on how places like that. But he would always joke. Around about he actually had, you know, most people have a right to carry his stuff. He actually had a hair, a hair person. I don't know if a guy or a girl, but. Just, you know, tease the hair up and and got it so that it was a show worthy and he said that was a a standard not joking around practice in the late 80s as part of that scene.

Yeah. I wonder what they were getting an hour.

I don't know. They're probably getting lung cancer from all. Those things but.

Yeah.

That's it for my list.

Rich. Yeah, I'm. I'm about there too. I I am sporting even see in my head and I I'm working on some family branding here. For the longest time. And my my friend Mike, he did a really cool hat, a custom job. He drew a letter G for his last name and it was super artsy and cool. And he had a custom embroidered. And I've envied it four years.

What?

And I could never come up with a a great looking K and I just no matter what I tried, I've been very frustrated. If I would talk to my brother. Matt is like like we gotta collaborate on this and come up with. And so he found, found this. OK. And so we turned it into embroidery and I'm trying it out on this hat. I don't know if it's the exact product I want to run with you. This is the prototype. But I'm kind of digging. I'm kind of digging it so far. You had one or two made.

The first one.

So OK, this is the second one. The first one's. Kind of funny. You didn't try an iron on.

At home. Did you rich? Yes, and.

I have one permanently, permanently burned into my forearm. No, no, no, I because I can do a little bit of graphic arts. I turned the the the K image into, oh, what's the file name for embroidery, DST or something? I can't remember exactly the file name, but I was able to convert it over. So I went down to the the local mall to see if I can have it done. I went in, I gave them the file. I picked out a hat. It was a new era hat, pretty plain black, but it has their it has their logo on the side which is very bright white. The guy who was doing it, I was extremely stoned. He was having a really hard time following my my very simple instructions, which was generally the color and the location of the I wanted it just a little off center. It was way off center. It was having a hard time. I just. I didn't wanna deal with anymore. I just. I just took it. It went home. And also the the side that I the side.

He was like, like, hey, Scoob, we're gonna make another.

Should I put it on?

Hat I've not wanted.

Done one of these in six months.

Shaggy's working the hat booth across.

Gates bandages on his hands from accidentally sewing things to it, but anyway, it was really far off, so it was so. And then the new era hat, which I generally like the product, but the white logo, the, the, the letter and the logo were were so close. It was so distracting. It was. It was really no like. So I took a Sharpie. We're just trying to tone down. The the bright white. Logo that just looks stupid, so I took a razor blade to it. I cut it. So and then I was like, yeah, I'm not sure I want. I want to try this again. Jaden, my youngest. She's or my oldest. She. She saw it. She's like, oh, cool. Yeah. I'm like, it's yours. Take it. I'm making a new one. So I then went to a local place, actually, instead of the big Lids superstore type of thing went to her name is Alex. She Goldilocks her business called. Goldilocks here in the Albany area and she has lots of promotional things. Shirts, hats, glasses, anything that you need. Business cards. So on and so forth. And she she did a great job with. Picking the color, putting it exactly where I had asked into the product came out great. So a little plug for Alex over at Goldilocks, so the one you have on is closer to what you wanted. Yeah, I I'm actually.

I love the placement. I love the placement of the OK, I.

I'm pretty happy with it. Yeah, yeah, I think, I think I dig it. So we'll go on with this now if maybe I'll get some more. If other family members want to jump on my bed, I don't know. It's just.

Like that it's.

It's a cool hat. That's all. Yeah, I know.

No, it is cool hat the.

A looks kaish now that you know that it's OK, but it also does not look like OK with. Yeah, it's a little abstract and that's what I was struggling with because every time I tried to design one or just pick a font from somewhere, it was so overtly cage it it needed to. It needed to have something.

Which is why I really like it, yeah.

Something to it.

What do you think you might be able to do? With the letter C. There's not a lot of wiggle room in the sea.

Let's bring Matt back in for some more consultation.

Then if I edit this thing anymore, it's going to be an.

Oh.

If you want to recap the 1st birthday granddaughters 1st birthday it was. It was great. Yeah, we headed out to Rochester to spend some time with the kiddo. It's just, you know, it's just. It's something magical. It's very touching, actually, to see the next generation in your connection. Do it in how you play a role in the the continuing of of family and. Remarkable. I I can't recommend everyone go start having grandkids. It's amazing.

Than a newly embroidered family last initial hat.

That's really where I was angling for this whole thing. Thanks for dropping that in.

I know like hey while.

I got you all here.

That. So that's it for me. I mean, it's been another fantastic cool dad shirt podcast. I think our intro was right on the mark. I think it was too. We we checked all those boxes and the hilarity ensued. Take that. All other podcasters who do their summary at the end of the. Show.

We do do it first.

We like to do it before we know what the show is going to be. We back into the show, we throw some topics out there, and then we back into.

It we're that good. We are the first people to ever have thought of this so. Breaking new ground here, like and follow smash that button. Tell your friend they were mentioned. Tell your friend they were mentioned in the.

And of course.
