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.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-14T12:17:01.726626+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/life-of-dad-7857344"},"episode":{"title":"13: Costco: Executive Member Energy | Life of Dad Ep #13","slug":"13-costco-executive-member-energy-life-of-dad-ep-13","published_at":"2026-08-03T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/life-of-dad-7857344/13-costco-executive-member-energy-life-of-dad-ep-13","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/life-of-dad-7857344","url":"https://audioboom.com/posts/8935278","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/audioboom.com/posts/8935278.mp3?modified=1785714272&sid=5170662&source=rss","summary":"Episode #13 of Life of Dad takes a trip to everyone's favorite warehouse store as hosts Tom Riles, Lee Kimbrell, and Mike James dive into the world of Costco. From family shopping trips and bulk buying to executive memberships, impulse purchases, food court favorites, and the things that somehow always end up in the cart, the guys share the funny realities of shopping for a growing family. Along the way, they swap stories about the surprisingly practical things dads convince themselves to buy, debate whether Costco's biggest deals are actually worth it, and laugh through conversations about everything from rotisserie chickens and gold bars to the little moments that turn an ordinary shopping trip into a family tradition. As always, the episode is filled with stories from the Life of Dad community, relatable parenting moments, and the unexpected tangents that make everyday life as a dad so entertaining. Funny, relatable, and packed with the kind of conversations every parent has had while wandering the warehouse aisles, Episode #13 is a reminder that sometimes a simple Costco run becomes a family adventure—and somehow you always leave with more than you planned.","meta_description":"Episode #13 of Life of Dad takes a trip to everyone's favorite warehouse store as hosts Tom Riles, Lee Kimbrell, and Mike James dive into the world of Cos…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3788,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/life-of-dad-7857344/episodes/13-costco-executive-member-energy-life-of-dad-ep-13/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/life-of-dad-7857344/13-costco-executive-member-energy-life-of-dad-ep-13.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
