We’re Not as Tough as we Used to Be with Jay Flake | Life of Dad #21

Episode #21 of Life of Dad welcomes comedian Jay Flake as he joins Tom Riles, Lee Kimbrell, and Mike James for a conversation about raising three daughters, youth sports, and realizing you might not be quite as tough as you used to be. Jay shares what life is like in a house full of girls, sitting through all-day cheer competitions, and how being a dad has changed him over the years.

The guys also get into the wild world of youth sports, from over-the-top parents and coaching kids to Jay's years as a referee and official. They swap stories about bad calls, getting yelled at from the sidelines, watching your own kids compete, and how quickly parents can convince themselves their kid is headed for the pros. The conversation also takes plenty of unexpected turns as Jay talks about his family, his path into stand-up, and the experiences that have shaped him as both a comedian and a dad.

After raising three daughters and spending years on the other side of the whistle, Jay has seen fatherhood from just about every angle. Episode #21 is about learning to roll with the changes that come with raising kids—and finding out that getting a little softer along the way might not be such a bad thing.
