Life of Dad

Episode #4 of Life of Dad continues the conversation about navigating fatherhood as hosts Tom Riles, Lee Kimbrell, and Mike James settle into the second trimester and discuss the surprising confidence that can come with it. As the early panic and uncertainty begin to fade, the guys talk about how easy it is for new parents to feel like they’ve finally figured things out—just in time for parenthood to remind them otherwise.

The episode also features stories from life on the road, traveling with a baby, leaning on grandparents, and the lessons learned from accidentally using a car seat the wrong way. Along the way, the conversation drifts into camping trips, family dynamics, memorable advice from previous generations, awkward handshakes, comedy careers, and the importance of being present as a dad. The guys also answer a listener voicemail about preparing for a second child and continue building the growing Life of Dad community through comments, stories, and shared experiences. Funny, relatable, and full of the kinds of conversations dads have when nobody else is around, Episode #4 is a reminder that confidence and parenthood don’t always arrive at the same time.

Episode #2 of Life of Dad continues the conversation about the early stages of fatherhood with hosts Tom Riles, Lee Kimbrell, and Mike James as they focus on the first trimester and everything that comes with it. Building off last week’s conversations about sleepless nights, newborn life, and adjusting to parenthood, the guys share more stories about pregnancy nerves, hiding the news early on, Mother’s Day as a new dad, and the mental games of marriage once kids enter the picture. The episode also features continued listener comments and voicemails from the growing Life of Dad community, including reactions to Lee’s legendary jean shorts and a hilarious parenting “hack” from Tom’s past. Along the way, the guys get sidetracked into parking lot debates, expectant-mother parking spots, Cybertrucks, school graduations, and the realization that while the days can feel long, the years really do fly by. Equal parts funny and honest, Episode #2 feels like the kind of conversation dads have when they finally get a minute to sit down and catch up.

Episode #1 of Life of Dad kicks off with hosts Tom Riles, Lee Kimbrell, and Mike James diving into the moment life changes forever: becoming a dad. From sleepless nights with newborns and surprise pregnancies to dad fashion, Costco runs, and learning how quickly kids grow up, the guys share hilarious and heartfelt stories from every stage of fatherhood. The episode also features community voicemails from dads and moms around the country, plus an emotional story from Tom about his daughter Barbara’s miraculous survival after a life-threatening diagnosis before birth. Equal parts funny, honest, and encouraging, this debut episode sets the tone for a podcast built around family, friendship, and the wild ride of being a dad.
