The Little Things Dads Live For with Tim Convy | Life of Dad #23

Episode #23 of Life of Dad welcomes comedian Tim Convy from The Consumers podcast and the band Ludo as he joins Tom Riles, Lee Kimbrell, and Mike James to talk about raising two young boys, becoming a dad in his 40s, and the little luxuries that help him recharge. They compare notes on parenting at different ages, watching their own parents become grandparents, and how much their priorities have changed since having kids.

The guys also get into the things they still like having to themselves, from morning coffee and listening to records to working in the yard and building LEGO sets. Mike brings his LEGO hobby on the road, while Lee has big dreams for a garage fridge stocked with drinks. Keeping anything nice in a house full of kids is another story, and everyone has had to make a few adjustments.

Tim also looks back on finding success with Ludo, starting over in stand-up, and learning to appreciate the experiences he once rushed past. That same appreciation runs through the conversation about life at home, where time for music or a favorite hobby takes a little more planning. These days, the guys’ idea of luxury might fit in a coffee mug or a carry-on, but they’re still willing to make room for it.
