    As a new dad of a three-month-old, this was exactly the show I was looking for. Like hanging out with three fellow dad buddies. The Nateland network strikes gold again with another classic

    You don’t have to be a dad to follow “Life of Dad.” I’m a mom and I can relate to what they talk about because of my dad and first time dad-my son. It’s hilarious! If you haven’t watched already, you definitely need to. You will lol! 🤣It’s one of my top podcasts.
