    S-2 EP 19 - The Most Epic 4th of July Burger... Bacon Mac n Cheese?

    Most Fourth of July celebrations are just fireworks and hot dogs—unless you tune in here, where two dads turn chaos into comedy with a sprinkle of planning and a shot of adult Slushies. Taylor and Mikey are back, and this year, they’re elevating their holiday game with a frozen bomb pop cocktail, a custom parade setup, and a bacon mac and cheese burger that might just break the internet (or their taste buds). Little do they know, their antics—like reserving parade spots at 5 a.m. and debating whether bacon belongs in the mac or the burger—are giving MasterChef a run for their money. You'll discover how these two maestros of mayhem are crankin’ up the festivities—think shade tents, a fold-up bar, and an epic neighborhood street kickball game inspired by the '90s. Plus, they share their secret weapon: an award-winning Bloody Mary mix that’s practically a patriotic necessity. Whether you're a seasoned parade pro or just looking for fireworks-worthy ideas, they’ve got tips that’ll make your celebration legendary. We break down their “how-to” for a flawless Fourth—early mornings, strategic parking, and the crucial details that turn chaos into a daily holiday. Instead of just telling you what to do, these dads inspire you to create traditions worth remembering, with enough humor, drink recipes, and Wisconsin trivia to keep the whole family entertained. If you’re craving a holiday where the only thing more unpredictable than the fireworks is the conversation, then this episode is your new favorite tradition. Perfect for party planners, backyard warriors, and anyone who loves a good laugh (and maybe a little bacon mac and cheese), this episode guarantees a day so epic, even Uncle Sam would be jealous. So grab your gear, sip that adult frosty, and let’s make this Fourth of July one to remember—whether you’re in Wisconsin or just pretending you are on vacation. #America #250 #4thofJuly #burgers #parade #Bestof #Bestburger #parade www.2Dads1Mic.Riverside.com www.Smackinsunflowerseeds.com/2dads1mic Email @ 2dads1mic414@gmail.com

    S-2EP 18 - Trust Fall! The Inner Struggle on the Path to Trusting Your Kids!

    Most parents think they can trust their kids... until pajama pants go missing, Oreos mysteriously vanish, or suddenly you’re explaining why “ass” is a totally normal word. Welcome to the chaos of modern parenting, where trust is earned pixel by pixel — and sometimes lost over a sock or a lie about cleaning the dish. In this hilarious and brutally honest episode, our hosts dive into the wild world of trusting your children (spoiler: never fully). From sneaky pajama escapades to Oreo conspiracies, they share their own stories of pushing boundaries and building — or breaking — trust. You’ll discover why kids lie, how they test limits, and how you can teach them responsibility without losing your mind. Ever wonder when it’s safe to let your kid wander the neighborhood solo? Or how to handle a 5-year-old’s “dad, we’re just kids” protest? Yep, they cover that too.We break down the secret sauce of trust — clear expectations, honest communication, and a healthy dose of parent patience. You’ll get practical tactics, like using watches to keep tabs and the importance of letting your kids experiment safely, all sprinkled with dad jokes and a whole lot of “been there, done that.” Plus, get a peek at parenting in the age of social media and tech, where hyper-vigilance is part of the gig — and why writing things out longhand still matters more than you think.Why should you listen? Because ignoring this stuff means risking your child’s safety, trust, and maybe even your sanity. But mastering it can turn those “trust no one” moments into bonding milestones. Essential listening if you’re tired of chasing after the Oreo thief or explaining the meaning of “ass” for the tenth time.And if you’re a parent craving honesty, humor, and some practical tips — plus a few laughs at the trials of raising mini humans — this episode’s for you. It’s relatable, real, and just the right balance of “oh my God, I’m not alone” and “I got this.”Trust us: your kids might be sneaky, but you’re sneakier when you’re armed with the right mindset. Hit play and let the dad jokes—and parenting truths—begin. www.Smackinsunflowerseeds.com/2dads1mic www.2dads1mic.Riverside.com

    S-2 EP16 - Choking The Chicken, Pumping The Pickle, and Other Conspiracy Theories!

    Most conspiracy theories are wild, but the one about radioactive ticks dropping from the sky during the Cold War is straight-up nuts—and, surprisingly, not entirely impossible. In this episode, we dive into government experiments, bio-weapons, and the creepy history of animal testing from Virginia's radioactive tick drops to Cuba's covert bioweapons attempts. Yep, the US supposedly dropped 282,000 radioactive ticks over Virginia — all for science, or so they say—and that might explain why ticks are such a problem today. You'll discover how Cold War paranoia fueled bizarre experiments like releasing radioactive fleas, mosquitoes, and even the infamous acoustic kitty spying operation (yes, cats with tiny microphones). We break down the real threats behind tick-borne illnesses like alpha-gal syndrome, and how the government’s shady history makes you wonder what secrets are still hidden in the bio-weapons vault. Plus, get the scoop on Plum Island, the lab rumored to have unleashed all sorts of crazy biological experiments. Spoiler: the truth might be stranger than fiction.Why does this matter? If you think government experiments stopped in the '60s, think again. The possibility that some of this stuff is still happening—silently affecting your health—should chill you to the bone. But it’s also an invitation: to question everything, do your own research, and keep your eyes peeled for the next crazy conspiracy that might actually be true.This episode is perfect for history buffs, politics skeptics, bio-horror fans, and anyone who loves a good conspiracy theory with a side of dark humor—and tofu-flavored meat substitutes. So gear up, subscribe, and get ready to unravel the wildest secrets our government doesn't want you to know.
