This week’s family dinner takes a wild ride. We imagine what life would look like if we hit the Powerball jackpot—though Mom still doesn’t quite grasp that being a billionaire means you can officially retire from chores. Kelly’s nurse chimes in with a very graphic medical story that left us all queasy (consider this your warning).

To lighten things up, the family plays a round of Would You Rather—and we’d love to hear your answers in the Facebook group! Later, the conversation turns to birthdays: at what age do we stop getting each other gifts? Matthew has strong opinions… shocking, we know.

It’s a mix of laughter, mild trauma, and a whole lot of sibling banter.

🌮 Mom’s Tortilla Recipe

As promised, if you caught our video, here’s Mom’s tortilla recipe. Just remember—she measures with her heart ❤️.

Ingredients

• 3 Cups AP Flour

• 1 ½ tsp Salt

• ½ tsp Baking Powder

• 1 Cup of Water

• 1 Cube Unsalted Butter

Prep Time: <30 min Total Time: ~2 hours

Directions

1. Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Melt butter in warm water.

2. Slowly add water/butter into dry ingredients, kneading continuously until a smooth ball forms (about 5 minutes). Don’t add extra flour—it will come together.

3. Cover with a warm towel for 15 minutes.

4. Divide dough, roll into smooth balls, cover again with a damp towel.

5. Roll out into circles on a floured counter.

6. Cook on a medium-hot cast iron skillet until bubbles form. Flip and cook the other side 15–20 seconds, until done.

This week’s episode kicks off with a peek behind the curtain as listeners get to hear what really happens before the mics officially go live. Anthony has a moment of discovery when he learns what a Kotex is (better late than never!), while Matthew shares his latest attempt at hair regrowth using pumpkin oil.

The family dives into some deeper conversations too—exploring diversity, racial remarks, and the importance of awareness in everyday life. On a lighter (but slightly gross) note, the mystery of whether Matthew actually washes his feet is finally addressed. Kelly reveals the truth behind her health mystery, and the crew rounds things out with a lively discussion on who counts as an “appropriate” wedding date partner.

It’s a mix of laughs, real talk, and family chaos—just the way you like it.

✨ As promised, if you caught our video on what we were making for dinner this week, here is Mom’s recipe for her Poblano Sauce. Just remember, these measurements are general guidance—because Mom measures with her heart.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 Tbsp Avocado Oil

• 6 Poblano Peppers

• 1 medium Yellow Onion

• 3 Garlic Cloves

• ½ can Chipotle Peppers

• 2 Tbsp Butter

• 3 Tbsp AP Flour

• 2 Cups Chicken Broth

• ½ Tbsp Onion Powder

• ½ Tbsp Pepper

• 1 Tbsp Chicken Bouillon

• 1/8 Cup Milk or Heavy Cream

• 1 Bunch of Cilantro

Prep Time: <15 MIN Total time:
<1 H

DIRECTIONS:
Wash peppers, remove seeds, and dice. Dice garlic and onion. Sauté peppers and onion in avocado oil and when almost complete add garlic and sauté until fragrant and peppers change color and are soft. Add chipotle peppers and sauté for 1–2 minutes. Once everything is well mixed, add the butter, melt, and add flour—stirring until all veggies are covered and the flour is browned. Immediately add the chicken broth and mix well, adding spices. Bring to a soft boil and then reduce heat. Use an immersion blender to blend everything together and add milk for creaminess. Taste and add more spices as needed. Wash and destem cilantro, finely chop, and stir into the sauce.

Mom and Anthony are finally back from Europe—and let’s just say someone might have brought home more than souvenirs (yes, the whole family got sick 🙃). Anthony has a moment of self-awareness when he realizes he’s turning into his dad—especially when it comes to helping random strangers. We also dive into the curious case of who in the family is an extroverted introvert, and how that helps us strike up conversations with new people.

Meanwhile, Matthew admits defeat and actually gave in to Mom’s TV recommendations (shocking, we know). He’s also plotting a Puerto Rico trip—though Kelly insists it’s their trip because travel buddies stick together. Rounding it out, Dad’s got some CPAP adventures to share, plus an important health update.

It’s family chaos, travel tales, and a little self-discovery—served with a side of sniffles.
