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":"5: The Bowflex, A Flamethrower & An Airplane | Life of Dad Ep #5","slug":"5-the-bowflex-a-flamethrower-an-airplane-life-of-dad-ep-5","published_at":"2026-06-08T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/life-of-dad-7857344/5-the-bowflex-a-flamethrower-an-airplane-life-of-dad-ep-5","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/life-of-dad-7857344","url":"https://audioboom.com/posts/8913336","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/audioboom.com/posts/8913336.mp3?modified=1780787363&sid=5170662&source=rss","summary":"Episode #5 of Life of Dad continues the conversation about fatherhood with hosts Tom Riles, Lee Kimbrell, and Mike James as they talk about money, responsibility, and the many strange ways dads try to justify their purchases. From sleepless nights with a baby and life on the road to family movie nights, school drop-off autopilot, and old high school nicknames, the guys share more stories about the everyday chaos that comes with being a dad. The episode also features more comments and stories from the growing Life of Dad community, including diaper disasters, dad jingles, ridiculous “practical” purchases, and money-saving hacks that may or may not actually save any money. Along the way, the guys get sidetracked into Pierce Brosnan’s toaster, bidets, Chia Pets, flamethrowers, expired spices, and the difference between providing for your family and simply being present with them. Funny, honest, and heartfelt, Episode #5 ends with a powerful Dad of the Week story about Tim Frost and his son Odin, reminding us that fatherhood is about showing up, finding joy, and loving your family through whatever life brings.","meta_description":"Episode #5 of Life of Dad continues the conversation about fatherhood with hosts Tom Riles, Lee Kimbrell, and Mike James as they talk about money, respons…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":5119,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/life-of-dad-7857344/episodes/5-the-bowflex-a-flamethrower-an-airplane-life-of-dad-ep-5/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-7857344/5-the-bowflex-a-flamethrower-an-airplane-life-of-dad-ep-5.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
