Jeremiah Land from Peace Like a River? Guido in Life is Beautiful? In these stories, the good dad becomes the protagonist.\r\n- Uncle Frank in 100 Cupboards? Nate explains why he'd never call Uncle Frank a good father figure.\r\n- Heading further afield: what about Mustafa from The Lion King? Bandit from Bluey? Gomez Addams??
            - Finally the guys turn to real life: Ralph Moody's father, Pa Wilder, Bible characters including Nate's pick for best dad in the whole Bible: Jesus's earthly father, Joseph.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/Il1UxsZUuv7mwFGRS2KIhOkwOp2lzT9fBmyecRRg3tY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zMTk1/ZmVlNjk0ZDliZjlk/ODdmYTc2ZTY5YWNh/Mzg4OS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
