Top 5 Parenting Hacks to Survive with Your Sanity | 6/20/25

In this unfiltered Friday Happy Hour edition of At the Mic, Keith Malinak is joined by Brad Staggs and Rebecca Mistereggen for a no-holds-barred ride through personal stories, pop culture absurdities, and current events.

From sharing the worst jobs they’ve ever had (with unexpected beaver bells involved) to poking holes in new government alcohol guidelines, the trio keep the drinks flowing and the laughs loud. You’ll hear about volcanoes, AI relationships, spelling bee meltdowns, and whether Ozzy Osbourne should be cloned via Liquid Death cans.

This week’s chat is full of candid moments, ridiculous tangents, and genuine insight—from Rebecca’s thoughts on homelessness and bugs, to Brad’s horror story involving a stray cat, to Keith’s philosophical take on waking up before the sun. Oh, and yes, there’s vodka and Starburst involved.

Whether you’re here for media truth, political commentary, or just a good time with no script, this episode delivers it all.
