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":"16: Duct Tape & DIY Disasters | Life of Dad Ep #16","slug":"16-duct-tape-diy-disasters-life-of-dad-ep-16","published_at":"2026-08-24T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/life-of-dad-7857344/16-duct-tape-diy-disasters-life-of-dad-ep-16","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/life-of-dad-7857344","url":"https://audioboom.com/posts/8944495","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/audioboom.com/posts/8944495.mp3?modified=1787536093&sid=5170662&source=rss","summary":"Episode #16 of Life of Dad is all about the DIY spirit that seems to come with being a dad. Tom Riles, Lee Kimbrell, and Mike James swap stories about home projects, duct tape fixes, garage adventures, and the moments when confidence outweighs actual expertise. Along the way, they also share the realities of becoming the family chauffeur, navigating school drop-offs, road rage, and the funny routines that come with raising kids. The episode also features stories and questions from the growing Life of Dad community, including legendary duct tape fixes that somehow worked, plus conversations about family road trips, turbulence, teaching kids to drive, unforgettable parenting moments, and the little everyday experiences that become the stories families tell for years. As always, the laughs come from the unexpected tangents, relatable parenting moments, and the conversations every dad has had at one point or another. Funny, relatable, and full of the resourcefulness (and occasional overconfidence) that comes with fatherhood, Episode #16 is a reminder that being a dad often means figuring it out as you go—and somehow making it work anyway.","meta_description":"Episode #16 of Life of Dad is all about the DIY spirit that seems to come with being a dad.
