Father’s Day is literally three sleeps away. Prayerfully you’ve worked out a really cool gift for the dad/hubby/father figure in your life that does NOT include 2 for 1 Slim Jims at your local convenience store. Or re-gifted socks. No judgement zone.

Prayerfully, you have something fun and memorable planned for Dad that you both will share fond memories about later.
You ever had a random question sticking to the front of your mind like a rogue post-it note? Just me?
The thing I’ve been wondering is what celebrity fathers get for Father’s Day? Do they too receive picked over whatnots and half-inspired cards from the dollar store? Do they grill in sandals and black socks? Do they want tools from the local DIY store? If what people say is true– that celebrities are just like the rest of us– are their Father’s Day experiences kinda lackluster also?. Yes? No? Maybe?
First, I asked ChatGPT to list the top famous fathers from New York.

Chat GPT is not without it’s flaws. It listed Hugh Jackmon with the above list. He may live in New York, but he certainly is not from New York. So, I took him out.

So Then. I asked ChatGPT what kinds of gifts famous fathers might get for Father’s Day.
