About this episode

Episode #9 discusses the sentimental items dads can't throw away, featuring stories and responses from the Life of Dad community.

Episode #9 of Life of Dad welcomes its first live studio audience as hosts Tom Riles, Lee Kimbrell, and Mike James tackle one of the most relatable questions dads have ever submitted: What’s something you just can’t bring yourself to throw away? From boxes of old cables and random keepsakes to sentimental collections and “just in case” items, the guys share their own stories and hear plenty of hilarious responses from the Life of Dad community. The conversation also wanders into family traditions, parenting moments, growing kids, summer memories, and the everyday experiences that somehow turn into unforgettable stories. Along the way, the guys revisit Lee’s infamous dentist visit, answer listener questions, and enjoy the added energy of having a live audience in the room for the first time. Funny, relatable, and full of the kinds of conversations every dad has had at some point, Episode #9 is a reminder that sometimes the hardest thing to let go of isn’t the clutter—it’s the memories attached to it.
