In this weepy, wacky, wildly nostalgic Father’s Day edition of Nice Pull!, Jeff and Chris take a slow, emotional walk down Memory Lane—and trip face-first into the pop culture coffeetable.
The episode opens with a launch into an equal-parts hilarious and heartfelt tribute to TV dads, awkward father-son ballads, and why Dick Van Patten may be the human equivalent of a mayonnaise sandwich.
Along the way, they:
Tearfully dissect dad-core hits like Cat’s in the Cradle, Father and Son, and The Living Years, while questioning if any mom songs are depressing (spoiler: no).
Debate the merits of sitcom patriarchs like MikeBrady, Archie Bunker, and the forbidden one-who-must-not-be-sweater-named.Roast Michael Landon, Tom Bradford, and cartoondad Harry Boyle like they’re at a very specific Father’s Day Friars Club.Take an impromptu trip to Britain to marvel at idioms like “a spot of bother” then instantly get lost in a swirl of Benny Hilland verbal Anglophile nonsense.
But the crown jewel? A surprise musical appearance by Lost in Space legend Billy Mumy, who resurrects a campfire moment from the show by singing Sloop John B, then blesses us with an acoustic rendition of the Lost in Space theme—played on a Martin D-45 that's never space-jammed before.
Highlights include:A eulogy for the actor who played Veruca Salt’sdad. (Yes, that guy.)
A confessional about inheriting our dads’ worsthabits—including “yelling tone,” dreaminess, and maybe...morphine? (Just listen.)
Bottom line: Bring tissues. Bring bourbon. Bring an architect’s blueprint with more than one goddamn bathroom!
