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":"6: Backseat Birth Plan | Life of Dad Ep #6","slug":"6-backseat-birth-plan-life-of-dad-ep-6","published_at":"2026-06-15T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/life-of-dad-7857344/6-backseat-birth-plan-life-of-dad-ep-6","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/life-of-dad-7857344","url":"https://audioboom.com/posts/8916491","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/audioboom.com/posts/8916491.mp3?modified=1781469367&sid=5170662&source=rss","summary":"Episode #6 of Life of Dad continues the conversation about the journey to fatherhood as hosts Tom Riles, Lee Kimbrell, and Mike James focus on the final stretch before a baby arrives. From labor-inducing pizzas and Costco hot dogs to power walks, castor oil, and every other piece of advice expectant parents receive, the guys share stories about the strange lengths people will go to when they’re ready to meet their baby. The episode also features stories from the Life of Dad community about labor, delivery, and the moments parents knew it was finally time to head to the hospital. Along the way, the conversation drifts into learner’s permits, road trips with kids, grandparents, family traditions, hospital stories, and the realization that some of the biggest moments in parenting rarely go according to plan. Funny, honest, and full of the kinds of conversations dads have when nobody else is around, Episode #6 is a reminder that while every birth story is different, the anticipation, excitement, and uncertainty leading up to it are something parents everywhere can relate to.","meta_description":"Episode #6 of Life of Dad continues the conversation about the journey to fatherhood as hosts Tom Riles, Lee Kimbrell, and Mike James focus on the final s…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":4453,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/life-of-dad-7857344/episodes/6-backseat-birth-plan-life-of-dad-ep-6/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-7857344/6-backseat-birth-plan-life-of-dad-ep-6.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
