This week on The Cool Dad Shirt Podcast, Rich and Mike tackle the important issues facing modern society:

• Is there actually a Dansville Business District, or was it just a fever dream from a previous episode?
• Why do movie cops spend ten minutes sneaking around quietly only to make the loudest gun-click in cinematic history?
• How fast is too fast when you're driving on a donut spare tire? (Hint: apparently faster than common sense.)
• Is it okay to compliment comedians for turning childhood trauma into entertainment?
• And why are people suddenly saying "literally" like they're auditioning for a British period drama?

Along the way, the guys discuss giant wind turbines, classic cars, rotary phones, Ben Folds Five, the Foo Fighters' drummer drama, and whether hearing The Beatles should really be the reason someone picked up drumsticks if they were born after 1975.

Rich also shares an inspiring experience mentoring college students during an RPI innovation competition that left him surprisingly optimistic about the future of humanity—a refreshing change from the dads usual superfluous topics.

Plus:

• A public apology to Broadview Credit Union
• A review of the Zoom H1 recorder and the greatest "low cut vs. high pass filter" debate nobody asked for
• The return of Grandpa Bob's maroon 1966 Chevy Corvair
• The shocking revelation that Rich actually knows TWO people named Lance

As always, it's big energy, questionable relevance, and absolutely no shortage of opinions.
