Father's Day Traditions New and Ancient, Including $100 Ice Cubes for Dad!

This one's for you (and yep, your dad too) — it's the Family Tree Food & Stories Father’s Day 2025 special. Nancy May and Sylvia Lovely are back, talking all things dad while the grill’s heating up and a cold one is cracking open. They're dishing out a full plate of stories, oddball traditions, and yes — lots of meat talk. Because let’s be real: dads + grills = primal joy.

This episode serves up everything from barbecue stats and big green eggs to a 4,000-year-old Father’s Day message carved into a stone tablet (seriously). There’s also a side of laughter, a splash of scotch, and a bite of debate over that pesky apostrophe in "Father’s Day." Does it matter? Maybe. Are they going to argue about it? Absolutely.

So, whether your dad's a charcoal king, a beer-loving storyteller, or just really into socks, grab your drink, pull up a chair, and join Nancy and Sylvia for a Father’s Day that’s juicy, funny, and just a little bit smoky.

📣Key Takeaways:

• Yes, you really can buy a pack of ice cubes for $100!
• Can daughters out grill Dad?
• The first Father's Day card or tablet is over 4,000 years old. Really!
• Some ancient Father's Day BBQ roots might a bit more charbroiled than you realize.
