    S2-EP 29 Mixing Drinks and Politics... What could go wrong?!?!

    Politics, AI, and the stuff that actually affects your life are all on the table here, and this episode does not waste time pretending otherwise. Mike and Taylor get brutally honest about the November elections, why competence matters more than party loyalty, and why too many voters are checking out just when their voices matter most.The conversation starts with the question a lot of people avoid: what should you actually look for in a candidate? From there, they break down the frustration behind today’s political divide, why both sides keep missing the point, and why the real issues—grocery prices, gas, health care, the national debt, and foreign policy—hit families hardest. They also dig into the age problem in government, the danger of a political system that feels locked into two parties, and why “I’m not voting” is not the flex people think it is. You’ll also hear Mike and Taylor make the case for actually talking to people you disagree with, staying informed, and treating local representation like it matters—because it does. They even preview an upcoming conversation with political creator Kensconsin, whose fact-based approach has helped make politics feel a little less toxic and a lot more understandable. Then the episode takes a hard left into the new segment, Unsolicited, Unqualified, and Unfiltered, where a retail robot in China apparently decided a handshake rejection was a fight and started throwing kicks like it had something to prove. The result is equal parts hilarious and deeply unsettling, especially if you already think AI is moving a little too fast for comfort. Perfect for listeners who want an unfiltered, funny, and surprisingly real take on current events, voting, political frustration, and the weird future of robots. If you care about your family, your future, or just need a reason to laugh at how strange the world has gotten, this one hits all three. Mike is one half of Two Dads One Mike, bringing blunt political takes, skeptical common sense, and the kind of real-world frustration a lot of listeners will recognize instantly. Taylor balances the conversation with perspective, pushback, and a practical reminder that civic engagement still matters.

    S2-EP28 Kids & Chaos! Discussions to have BEFORE Giving Your Wife a Backrub!

    The jump from zero kids to one, then two, then three is never as simple as people make it sound - and once you’re outnumbered, every day becomes a new test of patience, sanity, and teamwork. On this episode of Two Dads One Mike, Taylor and Mike sit down with Brian, a soon-to-be father of three and coworker turned parent-strategy sounding board, to unpack the chaos, comedy, and unexpected lessons of growing a family. From the first nervous drive home from the hospital to the quiet realization that your “busy” life used to be a joke, this conversation gets brutally honest about what actually changes when the diapers multiply and the noise never stops. You’ll hear real, practical fatherhood talk about: why the first child feels like a full-on life event and the second changes the whole rhythmthe difference between newborn panic, toddler jealousy, and the nonstop “mom, dad, mom, dad” of a house with multiple kidshow older siblings can become helpers, hazards, and tiny chaos agents all at oncewhy the hardest part of parenting is often staying calm when your body is screaming not towhat it takes to make room for one more child without losing your connection to the restBrian opens up about the nerves of moving from two kids to three, while Taylor and Mike share hard-earned lessons from raising larger families, including how they carve out one-on-one time, survive the sleep deprivation, and keep showing up when everybody needs something at once. If you’re wondering whether there’s ever a point where the overwhelm gets easier, this conversation offers the reassurance every parent needs: you do adjust, and you’re probably more ready than you think. Perfect for dads, parents-to-be, and anyone staring down the leap from “we’ve got this” to “how are we going to do all this?” This one is equal parts relatable, funny, and weirdly comforting - because sometimes the best parenting advice is just knowing other people are out here vibrating too.

    S2-EP27 - The Lindsay Clancy Case Shows How Social Media Warps Justice

    Social media can turn a tragic criminal case into a full-blown conspiracy fast, and this conversation asks the uncomfortable question: are we actually learning anything, or just feeding the internet sleuth machine?Mike breaks down why the Lindsay Clancy case has people so divided, how body-language TikToks and courtroom clips can distort public perception, and why the real victims keep getting lost in the noise. From the limits of what jurors can legally consider to the danger of building theories around “hot mic” moments, this episode pulls apart the way online commentary can cloud facts, weaponize speculation, and flatten a deeply human tragedy into content. You’ll hear Mike unpack: Why the internet is so desperate to solve cases from the outside inHow social media, podcasts, and viral clips skew public judgmentWhat it’s actually like to sit as a juror and separate emotion from evidenceWhy the focus should stay on the children and the mental health crisis at the center of the caseHow the rush to assign blame can distract from the bigger system failures underneathWe also get into the husband angle, the open questions surrounding the timeline, and why so many people are drawn to the easier story even when the messier truth may be the one that matters most. The conversation widens into a bigger look at mental health, masculinity, emotional honesty, and why so many men are still taught to hide what they’re feeling until it spills over somewhere damaging. If you care about true crime, mental health, media literacy, or how online outrage shapes what we think we know, this one is worth your time. It’s sharp, messy, thoughtful, and a reminder that not every tragedy should be treated like a puzzle for the timeline. www.2dads1mic.riverside.com

    S2-EP26 - How Multiple Healthcare systems Failed Lindsay Clancy, And what we need to Talk about!

    A mother fighting for help. A medical system that keeps saying no. And a true crime case that is forcing parents, doctors, and jurors to ask one brutal question: what happens when someone is clearly in crisis and every safeguard fails? Taylor and Mike break down why the Lindsay Clancy case has become such a massive media obsession, and why the conversation goes far beyond headline-grabbing tragedy. From postpartum mental health and suicidal ideation to overmedication, fragmented care, and the reality of trying to navigate a broken healthcare system, this episode pulls apart the parts of the story people keep missing. You’ll discover: Why this case feels so deeply relatable to parents, especially momsHow repeated doctor visits, medication changes, and suicide hotline calls still failed to stop the spiralWhy a paper trail, journaling, and self-advocacy should have mattered moreHow social media simplifies a case that a jury still has to weigh carefullyWhy mental health, parenting, and medical burnout collide in ways most people never talk aboutTaylor brings the perspective of a parent who has watched the case unfold through his family and the news, while Mike adds the legal and emotional weight of what it means to judge a case when the noise is deafening and the stakes are life-altering. Together, they get into the uncomfortable reality that this story is not just about one person - it is about the systems that were supposed to catch her. We also get into the bigger picture: why so many families are quietly dealing with mental health crises, why older generations were taught to bury feelings instead of naming them, and why millennials are trying to raise emotionally healthy kids while still figuring it out themselves. If you care about true crime, parental mental health, or the failures built into modern healthcare, this is the conversation that makes the case feel less like a headline and more like a warning. Perfect for listeners who want more than hot takes - and are ready to hear what this case says about all of us. #Lindsayclancy #clancytrial #truecrime #mentalhealth #postpardom #healthcare #failedsystem #patrickdidit

    S-2 EP 24 - Fair Foods and F-bombs - a Journey thru this Years Sporkies!

    Wisconsin State Fair food is back, and this year’s Sporkies and Drinkies lineup is the kind of gloriously unhinged menu that makes you say yes before your brain can catch up. If you love fair food, weird mashups, and brutally honest takes on what’s actually worth putting in your mouth, this episode is for you.Mike and Taylor kick things off with their annual State Fair obsession, including the color-coded food map, the must-hit stops, and the classics they refuse to skip - fresh squeezed lemonade, sweet corn, Saz’s chive fries, and the eternal cream puff debate. Then they run through this year’s most over-the-top contenders with a simple verdict system: Wisconsin or no. You’ll hear their takes on the El Pastor Pizza, Bayou Crunch Cup, Birria Flamin’ Bombs, Cream City Cone, deep fried horchata balls, Porky Puff, sweet lemon berry cheese curds, Tinga Tango Chicharrones, color-changing swamp juice, cookie butter coffee floats, hot honey chicken lemonade, and more. Some are instant yeses, some are hard passes, and a few are the kind of wild fair creations that somehow sound disgusting until you realize you’d absolutely try them. They also revisit past State Fair hits, including deep fried stuffing balls, and deliver a hot take that may surprise anyone who thinks a deep fried brandy old fashioned sounds like a good idea. Along the way, they shout out the judges, talk Milwaukee fair culture, and dream up the kind of live-from-the-fair recording setup that would make this show even more chaotic. If you’re headed to the Wisconsin State Fair, love food ranking chaos, or just want to hear two dads argue about what deserves a bite, this one is pure summer-level snack energy.
