It's Father's Day, it's a day to celebrate the dads and the dad-like figures in our lives, including movie dads. Right now. We're counting down our top 10 film fathers. Starting with a father, a fish, and a finder. It's Marlin the dad from Finding Nemo. He goes on a long scary journey to find his son Nemo. It's alright. It's gonna be okay. Next on our list is Arthur Weasley. Harry Potter wouldn't be Harry Potter without Fred George, Ron, and Jenny's dad. The funny and protective Mr. Weasley. Tell me what exactly is the function of a rubber duck. And coming in strong is the king of dads Mufasa Simba is dad in Lion King. He's wise he's kind he would do anything for his cubs.

My daughter? Where would you get an idea like that?

Bethany Van Delft  2:27  

This dad might be a bit of a throwback, but I bet your dad remembers this movie. It's Mr. Mom. One of the first stay-at-home dads on the big screen. This movie is hilarious. And speaking of funny dads, Bob Parr, aka Mr. Incredible cracks us up in The Incredibles. He also learns to be a better dad just by being himself and loving his kids.

I've got two words for you. Indiana Jones. for this dad, Professor Jones appears in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. He's grumpy but lovable and he and Indiana learn from each other while fighting Nazis. Don't worry, I'm fine. Thank God, our penultimate dad. That means second to last is Geppetto Pinocchio's father Geppetto builds Pinocchio and loves him. Despite you know him being a puppet. He's so happy to be a dad. And Tom Hanks will be playing Geppetto and the new live-action version. And topping the list of Best Movie dads is a dad with daddy right in the name. It's Daddy Warbucks from Annie. He's a ritual curmudgeon who starts out fostering Annie and she teaches him how to be a great dad. And that's our 10 news top 10 We're sending snaps to the dads out there. And make sure to give high fives to all the dads and the dead figures in your life. We love when dads do one of the data things they can do. Tell a dad joke. We asked tenors for their best dad jokes and you all delivered. Buckle up for a dead joke journey.

What, what, what's the big idea?

Bethany Van Delft  7:03  

Trivia on the Ten. Which state was the first to celebrate Father's Day? Is it a) Alabama b) Pennsylvania or c) Washington? Did you guess it? The answer is C. Washington State residents Sonora Smart Dodd petitioned local church groups and businesses asking them to hold a special date to say thanks to fathers. She was inspired by her own dad, who raised six kids by himself after his wife died long after the first Washington State celebration in 1910. Father's Day became an official holiday in 1972. That's all for our Father's Day episode, we want to give a shout-out to all the dads, biological dads, stepdads, adopted dads, foster dads, and aspiring dads. And we want to acknowledge that not everyone has a dad or a good relationship with your dad or celebrates Father's Day, sending high fives and snaps to all of you.
