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.

The family table is back with a listener confessional that had us blushing—turns out someone had a very awkward run-in after dreaming about a coworker. Anthony even admits he’s had his share of spicy dreams in the past 👀. We check in on Tony’s health, and with Anthony and Mom heading off to Italy next week, Mom swears she’s going to “sleep in”… but with a jam-packed vacation schedule, we’re not holding our breath.

From there it’s a full plate of AITA stories—bed-wetting boyfriends, clothing complaints, and Matthew stirring the pot (no surprise). That sparks a chat about Nextdoor posts, ridiculous public rants, and why people get heated over DUI checkpoint announcements.

Finally, we dive into what the family considers trashy behavior, Matthew drops some surprisingly thoughtful perspective about judging others’ personal lives, and we even debate: do you tip your delivery drivers?

Pull up a chair—it’s another week of unfiltered stories, laughs, and family debates you won’t want to miss.

Matty’s back from his epic trek to Oregon, and let’s just say… he’s got stories, and none of them are short. GG checks in to share all the new things she’s learning at 80—yes, even butt plugs make the syllabus. We give an update on Dad’s health after a tough week, then take a wild detour into the world of NASA’s latest breakthrough: food from astronaut poop (you’re welcome). The kids finally confess to Mom some teenage antics she never knew about, and we round it all out with an AITA story about whether you’re the jerk for not wanting to close your marriage after opening it. Buckle up—this one’s a ride.

In this episode, Kelly admits to accidentally chewing part of a plastic spork—while Anthony and the rest of the family spiral into a full-blown investigation on how that even happens.

From there, it’s a chaotic mix of kitchen noises, clanking utensils, and morning prayers being interrupted by clattering silverware. We also dive into who really finishes the nacho cheese with their finger (spoiler: names are named).

Midway through, things take a turn toward the slightly unhinged as Matthew announces his vacation plans… to a place that doesn’t even have an address—just coordinates. Naturally, this sparks a conversation about creature comforts, modern amenities, and the fine line between “off the grid” and “kidnapped.”

With side tangents on sex ed misfires, misunderstood slang, and the sounds that drive you nuts at the dinner table, this episode is a classic Sunday dinner combo of chaos, confession, and comedy.

Tensions are high this week as the family dives into wedding planning drama—who’s the bridezilla, who’s not invited, and why does everyone have so many opinions?

Meanwhile, a heatwave nearly takes Mom out during a family trip, lets just say no water in sight and only booze on hand, is not a good mix. Add in a classic Anthony vs. Mom argument (yes, someone stormed off), and you’ve got peak family chaos.

Kelly opens up about almost not graduating high school—and who had to march into the school to fix it. The group also gets into the impact of teachers, especially how harmful negative experiences can be, and reflects on what today’s “iPad generation” might be missing when it comes to social skills.

It’s heartfelt, it’s heated, and it’s hilariously real. Just another Sunday around the table.

This week’s Sunday Family Dinner is a wild ride from start to finish—and we mean that literally. Anthony shares his journey of finally replacing his decades-old mattress (spoiler: it was his parents’), and things spiral from there in the best way possible.

We dive into everything from questionable hygiene habits (how often are you really changing your sheets?) to why people insist on chatting in public restrooms. Grocery prices, chaotic shopping lists, and Matthew’s possible status as the family’s resident mean girl? All up for discussion.

Just when you think it can’t get more unhinged, mom casually drops a story about escaping a serial killer by running barefoot through berry bushes. You truly never know what you’re going to get around this table.

Add in some thoughts on adulthood feeling like high school with bills, a surprisingly deep chat about roadkill and the circle of life, and—well, you’ve got another classic Sunday Family Dinner: raw, ridiculous, and real.
