Father's Day is coming, and the River Morning Show is in full socks, sandals, and board shorts mode. We spent the last week collecting stories and tales of dadhood and beyond. Here are a few highlights from the show:

• Dads have trademark behaviors like collecting the "driver's tax" of kids' candy on road trips
• Hannah discovers the shocking reality that boys are gross, including finding scabs in her car
• Simple Father's Day gifts often mean the most – including cards with children's scribbled signatures
• Josh shares touching story about his father's heart surgery and the powerful gift of his survival
• Special message for those struggling with Father's Day: "I am proud of you" and "God loves you most"

Josh and Hanna talk a lot about food this week (what else is new?), but it goes deeper than that. What's the summer food or smell that takes you back to your childhood?

• Josh can't stand okra ("it's like eating a slug") and Hannah avoids olives
• Listener food aversions include liver, cow tongue, pickled pig's feet, and chitlins
• Celebrity sightings spark discussion of the awkward things we do when spotting famous people
• Sometimes doing the right thing isn't as hard as we make it out to be
