Danny is back and he has a surprise for everyone. In honor of his return, Blake and Nathaniel chose a topic without telling him what it is: the best dad movies. The best role models, what they would force their kids to watch, and the best dads ever are all discussed.
There is a lot to go over as the movies have provided some great father figures. From Atticus Finch to Clark Griswold, the three talk about the best dads in film history.

If you use the code, AIPT20. Before you left, remember we had talked about the humidity
0:45
There's been some changes since you've been gone. So before you left, remember we would always talk about the humidity around here
0:51
Yeah. So that hasn't changed at all, unfortunately. And that's led to some pretty bad problems
0:59
for me. Like, sometimes I kick funk like an old shoe down there. You know what I mean
1:04
Ripe. Ripe, you might have very much so. Very much so. So, I have actually started using
1:10
Manscapes Crop Preserver. Oh. You know what? It works. All you have to do, take a shower
1:18
Then you towel off your goodies till they're getting dry. And you rub a small amount of the crop
1:25
Preserver onto your nether regions down there. You can rub it a little bit around other parts if you want
1:30
You might want to taste it a little bit. It's not too bad. I'm not going to lie
1:34
I gave it a shot. But I have received many compliments since I started using it
1:40
They've all been from me, but it works. I am letting you know
1:44
Did you get all of that, Danny? Yes. I just want to say that I used it
1:50
I just used it during my first week of fathership. And I just would say this, my balls are as smooth as my baby's bottom
2:04
Ooh, that's... What an endorsement. Well, that's the best interest. I'm just saying, I'm just saying, if you want your balls to be as smooth as a baby's bottom, I recommend, highly recommend Manscape
2:17
You know what? I can tell the difference from here, boys. And he's not just across A-State
2:24
he's across the state of Texas. So that's like being across three states from me
2:29
and he can tell the difference. So there you go. AIPT20 Manscape.com
2:34
Check it out. Anyway, so it's midway through the year. And, you know, usually in June is a great time to talk about
2:41
what happens the first half of the year, the best, worst, underrated, overrated
2:47
all that good stuff. But what the hell's the point in doing that this year
2:51
So we decided, in honor of Danny because I don't know if anybody caught his subtle hints he recently became a father
3:02
I know. Congratulations to Danny and our way of congratulating Danny was to not at all let him pick this week's topic and do a show based on dads
3:15
Dads in movies. And one of the things we want to talk about is some of the best dads in movies
3:21
And before any of you say that, I don't know if you. I mean, you haven't had the time to think about it. And Blake, I don't know if you, you did ask about him last week
3:28
Atticus Finch from To Kill Milwaukee, Burk, is without a doubt, the best father in all a fiction, not just movies
3:38
You think he's best? The best, though. I, uh, he's got it all, man
3:44
He's got it all. He's got principles. He stands up an awesome hero
3:50
I mean, he's a small guy. for the underdog against unbelievable odds he does what right a single father in a time when that you know unthinkable uh just uh just my like this guy so much so much that my original Twitter name was Patakis Finch
4:11
It was. That is right. That is right. Huge fan of Mr. Finch, but you guys, it sounds like you might not agree entirely with me
4:22
No, that's an amazing pick. That's a great pick. It's got class
4:27
It's got style. Mine does not. my my pick for favorite dad
4:36
I think I'm going to have to go with 1983's well this is the beginning
4:40
Harold Ramos National Ampoon's vacation one Clark Griswold Few fathers can put their family
4:50
through what Clark Griswold puts his family through yet they love him
4:55
they always come back to him and fewer, I mean, fewer portrayals of like family interaction, which, while overblown, completely accurate
5:09
This is true. And let's face it, let's face it. He is a good father
5:15
He doesn't get it right, but he always, yeah, he's trying to get the bonus checks
5:20
He's trying to take them on the road trip, the European vacations
5:23
I mean, even though they won that on a game show. of it. Bigly wiggly
5:28
I mean, the dudes, he, as fathers go, and you're right, exaggerated comedic situations, but
5:36
at its core, very seriously, he is trying to be a good father, and he's not a bad man
5:42
No. Chevy Chase is a horrible person. But that's just, you know, Blake not a father
5:52
My parents were divorced at a young age. Danny, you actually are a father, so you might
5:55
might be able to provide real true proper insight into this. Oh, man
6:00
This is so stupid because I was going to argue with your Atticus
6:05
I was like, well, you have, but now I don't know if we're choosing movies now
6:09
but I'm going to say Alfred Pennyworth, Pennyworth. Oh, bro. Father figure, yeah
6:16
I was going to go with, that was going to be a separate question, but you dove right in, and that's cool
6:22
That's a good one. I mean, so, I mean, he's not, he's an adopted father to the world's biggest brat
6:31
And he, he heals him. He's snarky. He provides for him. He's like the world's greatest, like, dad
6:42
I don't know what other father until you said, like, you know, you gave all the points for Atticus
6:49
And, you know, even like, um, Griswold. They all have their flaws
6:55
And I feel like even as Alfred has his faults as well, but I feel like he stepped up essentially
7:04
Like, you know, like he didn't have to take care of Bruce Wayne. And eventually he did, you know, to make the man, you know, Bruce Wayne
7:13
And I really do think, I think Alfred is a good one. That's a great
7:17
That's a really good. And for I can't, you guys should be a shame
7:21
Neither of you mentioned Uncle Buck. Oh, Uncle Buck is on my..
7:25
I don't even have a list to go through it. This is all a surprise for me
7:30
It should have been the first thing you said. Uncle Bull... I have Uncle Buck. I have. You know what's funny
7:36
Well, now I don't care. I truly do say that Uncle Buck is a great movie and he's a great father figure
7:43
But in high school, growing up a really close friend of mine now, I still did this day
7:47
But his favorite movie was Uncle Buck. And I would always make fun of him
7:51
for it. Oh, I just thought he was an asshole for like. I also, I also really love the
7:59
great outdoors, Dan Aykroydon and John Candy. And that's like also kind of a dad movie for sure
8:04
And that I love the great outdoors And I like I like summer rental And that summer Rental That another like John Candy where he trying to like just give it all for their family
8:16
and you know things go wrong to. Yeah. The cover of this movie VHS is amazing
8:22
For Summer Rental? Summer Rental. I really enjoyed that film a lot
8:26
Like Uncle Buck and Summer Rental are top-notch films for me. What about
8:33
Liam Neeson? from taking. Yeah. That's a dad. That's a dad. That's a hardcore dad
8:41
You know, it's one of my favorite dad movies. And it's basically just a dad losing his mind through the whole thing
8:47
What about Bob? Oh, yeah. Richard Dreyfuss and Bill Murray. Murray, yeah
8:54
And I think they ended up actually hating each other by the end of filming of that movie
8:59
And I think they still hate each other. So I think that translates across the screen
9:03
and it's pretty good. Now that's a method acting. Yeah, exactly. Yeah
9:09
Now, Danny, I know you're going to do things your own way, which every father should
9:13
but which movie father will you pull elements from? You know, it's so stupid that, like, there's a lot of things that I want to do
9:22
and I just want to raise her right, but I want to do a little bit of, like, Anakin, like, a wine a lot
9:29
a little bit of Homer, where I'm just... Oh, yeah. Plenty of Dolores
9:33
There's going to be lots of those going around. Yeah. And, you know, and a little bit of, like, Seth Rogen and neighbors
9:41
because he's a father figure in that one. And he's just trying to do everything right for his daughter in that movie, too
9:48
And I feel like I want to do everything right, but, you know, who knows if there's going to be a frat living next to me
9:54
Then you'll be Vigo Mortensen from the road. Ooh. Oh, that's a good one, too
10:02
He is a good father. He is a good father. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I guess
10:08
If and when, Blake, you have some spawn, you let loose on the world
10:14
Who would you kind of pattern yourself after? Oh, I'm going to shave my beard and just have a mustache, and I'm going to be Tom Selleck from
10:24
You're going to be one of the three? He might be number one. Yeah, exactly
10:30
That's a good one. . I think he's I think he's I think he's got a great dad look
10:36
High 80s. I mean he's If I picture myself as a dad
10:42
I prefer to picture myself as Tom Selleck. I mean, . Of those three, okay
10:48
so I guess we can all agree that Steve Gutenberg is out. Oh, get that
10:52
Yeah, no. You know, it is between Selk and Dansen and at the time that it came out
10:58
I would have gone with Selleck. But over the years I used to think that Ted Dantzance is
11:02
was a douche. But after watching the past few seasons of the last few seasons of
11:06
tears and seeing him on Curb Your Enthusiasm, I mean, he does have a self-deprecating sense of humor, which I never thought he had
11:13
And, you know, I think I would go with Ted Danson. Damn
11:17
Yeah. , Salick was Magnum P.I. And Quigley down under. He's also blue blood
11:26
Yeah. Yeah. And he Monica fell in love with him from friends
11:30
I mean, it was, it was. I mean, come on. Yeah. This is true, whereas Ted Danson kind of just lived on the San Malone fame for George
11:43
It was already years. I just recently finished the Sopranos. Oh, and Blake, you asked me what I would think of the ending, and I saw it again
11:52
So watching it, this is only the second time I've ever seen the ending, and I liked it even more than I did the first
11:58
It is so amazingly tense. Like, I'm not ashamed to admit it
12:03
I was in tear, knowing what was going to happen. I was in tears the last like 10 minutes
12:08
It's so tense. It it ties your stomach up in knots So did you hear the the who the showrunner Who the guy who the creator and showrunner of that David Chase
12:20
David Chase. So they were all like, it like leaked in like some kind of video call he was doing recently during COVID
12:29
They were talking about that final scene. And he just let it slip
12:33
He goes, yeah, so the death scene. So he , he basically said it
12:37
Like he finally cleared the air. and said, yes. You know how I took it as I was watching it this time
12:44
Because the first time I obviously didn't know what was going to happen. And then afterwards you're kind of like, what the
12:48
But this time I was taking it as like, and you know what? I still think you can take it however you want to take it
12:53
I think so too. I was taking it as this is this dude's life
12:57
Like for the past seven years, we've only seen like the good side of it
13:01
I mean, he's doing ed up shit because he's in the mob or whatever. But like, you know, he's living rich
13:05
He's sleeping with all these chicks. He's eating fine food and all that moment. multiple homes and stuff
13:10
But we don't ever see the, and then we see him when he goes to his therapist. We see that panic side of it
13:15
But the last few minutes of the Sopranos, like the last two episodes is when things are
13:19
going down with New York. But those last 10 minutes, like when every single sound he hears, he's just looking up
13:25
And then the bell keeps ringing when the door opens. And he's constantly looking up
13:29
And that's his life. Like that is his life. And you feel really nothing ever, never, ever, ever
13:36
And it's really sad. It's really sad. But him, he's a good father
13:41
Oh, Danny, so you kind of broached this subject earlier, but I'm going to ask anyway
13:44
Uh-huh. What's the first movie you're going to force your daughter to watch
13:49
So 20, 30 years down the road, she can tell a group of her friends, my dad forced me to watch this
13:55
You know, we were going to buy her some Star Wars onesies
14:00
And honestly, I think you've got to start with the classics. And I don't know what that's going to be, but it's going to be something that I think I enjoyed
14:08
in the 80s. I think I have like a... Best little for her house in Texas
14:12
Do that one. I was gonna do exorcist, but yeah, I guess that's better
14:21
I think I want to do a Disney movie for like a musical, I think
14:27
But I'm still like torn between like Robin Hood and... Oh yeah, you gotta go way back
14:32
Yeah, and that's I think where I want to start like, I guess like do... Sleeping Beauty, dude
14:37
Dude, that's so good. That's one of my favorite films. That's a good one
14:41
But honestly, I don't know. Like, I, and that's, I don't know if that's a coppet, but I feel like I want to do, like, the big, big films that I could think of that I really enjoyed as a kid
14:52
And then, yeah, like, for sure, like, hey, you can't go until, you know, until you finish this movie now
14:59
And your knees. Just prepare yourself. Prepare yourself now because it's obvious what direction it's going in
15:07
she may very well end up not being a Star Wars fan
15:13
Hey, that's fine with me. Fine with me. If she has, you know, if she loves, you know, God forbid, like, something terrible
15:23
I can't think of any terrible movies right now. Uncle Buck. If she hates Uncle, if she hates Uncle Buck, right, like, if she hates it in 30 years, I'm sending her away
15:35
I'm disowning him. Oh, I'm 30 years. be a grown woman. Yeah, I'm going to see if you have the issue of having to send her away, then that's a whole different story
15:45
What if, what if she comes to you in, you know, 15, 20 years, and she's like, I just saw the greatest classic movie ever, but boy
15:57
And we'll have a discussion, and I probably won't remember it because 18 years from now, like, , what the , what the , we were doing
16:04
I'm going to be that old, dude. That's not that old. I know. You're going to see real. How old am I
16:08
I'm 35. And a one, and a two, and a three. Baby on board, how I'm a door
