About Life of Dad
Being a dad is the greatest job in the world. It's also the messiest, loudest, most humbling, and funniest one. Life of Dad is the podcast for every dad who's burned the pancakes, missed the instruction manual, and somehow still showed up. Hosted by Life of Dad founder Tom Riles alongside Nashville funny guys Lee Kimbrell and Mike James, each episode brings real talk, real laughs, and real stories from the frontlines of fatherhood. From the chaos of the school drop-off line to the big stuff that actually matters — we're covering it all. No judgment. No perfection. Just dads being dads. Produced by Nateland Entertainment — Nate Bargatze's company — Life of Dad is built for the world's greatest community of dads. And that community? They're basically the fourth host of the show. Keep the comments, stories, and laughs coming — because this podcast is nothing without the dads behind it.

[…] So girl is not enjoying her first month of college. Dad was about to say, yes, I'll take you home. Instead, he said no. Finish the semester, and if you still feel this way, you can come home and transfer. She agreed. Four weeks later, she loved it. She made friends. She was all in. By graduation, she wanted to find a job nearby. It was the hardest thing I've ever done. I didn't want to force her to stay. I missed her, too. I almost turned the car around four times, but eventually she thanked me for making her stay. Like I told you before, I left. Like I told her before I left, if you quit now, you'll regret it for the rest of your life. […]
