What starts as another Sunday around the table quickly goes in about twelve different directions, because apparently staying on topic has never been this family’s strong suit.

This episode, we catch up on the little visitor who’s taken up residence near the front door, wonder whether we’re ready for a MySpace comeback, and talk about how technology is changing everything from social media to shopping and even the way your food gets delivered at a restaurant.

Then, naturally, things get personal.

A conversation about shoes turns into a full-blown family investigation when we ask a seemingly simple question: Do you wear shoes in the house? Anthony is firmly Team Shoes Off, Kelly insists she is too… but unfortunately for Kelly, Anthony has cameras. And receipts. 📸👟

We also catch up on what everyone has been doing, including rock painting for the socialization, an unexpectedly complicated homemade Toy Story tutu, upcoming family adventures, and the usual sibling commentary that somehow accompanies all of it.

And then things get a little spooky. 👻

After Anthony and Mom hear a mysterious whistle in the house that neither of them can explain, the family starts sharing some of the strange things they’ve seen, heard, and felt over the years. Shadows, knocking, that feeling that someone is standing just out of sight… coincidence, technology, imagination, or something else entirely?

We may not agree on what’s causing it, but we definitely have some stories.

This month, the family wastes absolutely no time diving into a conversation that somehow starts with the Taco Bell lettuce recall... and only gets more chaotic from there.

Around the table, we debate food safety, government oversight, and the challenges of protecting public health before shifting into conversations about politics, LGBTQ+ rights, and how leaders balance personal beliefs with public responsibility. Along the way, we swap stories about family quirks (including the great room-temperature butter debate), celebrate the Fourth of July, share what we've been watching and reading, discuss whether self-checkout should come with a discount, and somehow end up talking about sneaky octopuses.

As always, it's a mix of laughter, thoughtful conversation, sibling banter, and the kind of tangents that only happen around a family dinner table.

Pull up a chair. Dinner's ready.

This month, we're diving into another mix of headlines, hot takes, and family chaos around the dinner table.

We weigh in on the viral Alabama bathroom confrontation that sparked nationwide debate, discuss Fresno County's controversial "Nuclear Traditional Family Month" proclamation, and unpack the Department of Justice investigation into UC Davis medical school admissions.

We also share stories from Sacramento Pride, including an encounter with an anti-LGBTQ protester, react to the unbelievable Florida traffic stop involving a woman born without a right arm, and catch everyone up on what's happening in our own lives, from backyard projects and barbecue adventures to an encouraging update on Julep's health.

As always, expect plenty of laughs, a few disagreements, and the kind of conversations that only happen around our family dinner table.

New episodes drop the first Friday of every month. 🍽️🎙️

The family kicks things off with everything from random observations and conspiracy-adjacent Area 51 talk to the podcast’s newest “word of the week,” before spiraling into debates that only this family could have. Then things take a turn as the table dives into the latest male birth control clinical trials and whether the future of contraception is finally shifting. Trust us… the conversation goes exactly where you think it will.

Somewhere in the middle, the chaos turns heartfelt with emotional stories about hospitals, family, memories, and those moments in life that stick with you long after they happen. And of course, it wouldn’t be Sunday Family Dinner without the family immediately balancing sincerity with completely unhinged commentary, DoorDash concerns, side tangents, and arguing over whether anyone actually wants to hear these conversations in the first place.

By the end, the episode circles back to what the podcast has always been about: a family sitting around talking about life, grief, weird news, memories, and absolutely roasting each other along the way. This one will make you laugh, cringe, and maybe even tear up a little.

Is anyone else confused by this weather or is Mother Nature just freelancing at this point? One minute it’s summer, the next it’s hoodie weather, and the family has thoughts.

Matthew also brings a “Dumb and Busted” story involving a urologist that is so wild you truly have to hear it to believe it. The table then dives into a heated debate about how soon is too soon to start dating after a relationship ends, and let’s just say… the family is VERY divided while Anthony somehow ends up alone in left field.

We also get into possible camping plans for Matt and Dad, whether Kelly may have a special someone in the picture, and the family discusses the latest assassination attempt making headlines.

As always, it’s chaos, opinions, laughter, and conversations you’d only hear around this dinner table.

This week’s dinner starts with a plan and quickly becomes something else entirely. Anthony brings the wildly unhinged Kimberly Clark story to the table, Kelly quietly abandons her UNESCO segment, and the family does what it does best, pivots straight into chaos.

Somewhere between current events and side tangents, Matthew and Kelly share horse stories you truly need to hear, the family unpacks a little accidental child endangerment (cue the side eye at Mom), and what starts as one topic turns into the kind of winding, hilarious, mildly concerning dinner conversation that somehow only makes sense at this table.

It’s family lore, questionable childhood decisions, strong opinions, and the usual beautifully chaotic detours. In other words, a perfectly normal Sunday Family Dinner.

This week’s episode kicks off with a Matthews casual near-death experience—because nothing gets the heart pumping like almost getting taken out during a high-speed police chase. Naturally, the first instinct? Call Mom mid-crisis so she can maybe hear your final words… if she picks up.

From there, things take a turn (as they do) into resurrected plants dubbed “Little Jesus,” questionable gardening skills, and the ongoing mystery of why some plants thrive on pure neglect while others die the second you show them love.

We celebrate a well-earned promotion, debate electric scooters vs. actual cardio, and take a scenic bike ride that may or may not have ended exactly where someone said it would (spoiler: it didn’t).

Also on the table:

• Trying an Impossible corn dog and questioning life choicesA surprisingly real conversation about what it means to be proud to be American right nowA new listener voicemail line (yes, we’re serious… we think)Eye drop recalls, allergy struggles, and absolute chaos at the optometristAnd somehow… chocolate laced with Viagra??

It’s funny, a little unhinged, and gets more real than expected—basically your standard Sunday Family Dinner.

So pull up a chair… and maybe answer your phone if someone calls mid-emergency.

We’re back at the table and it doesn’t take long before Anthony finds himself in a full-blown spiral… this time over technology. Specifically, what is OneDrive, where is it, and why does it feel like it’s both everywhere and nowhere at the same time?

Naturally, this leads to the bigger question… is this the moment you realize you might be getting old? Because once you start questioning cloud storage, it might already be too late.

From there, the conversation takes a turn into one of those debates that somehow gets way more serious than it should:
👉 Is it ever okay to drink a stranger’s drink if they’ve only had one sip?

Yes, we go there. And yes, everyone has thoughts.

As always, the episode is filled with side comments, small spirals, and those “wait… what are we even talking about anymore?” moments that somehow make perfect sense at this table.

It’s relatable, it’s chaotic, and it’s another classic Sunday Family Dinner where no topic is safe and no question is too random.

Pull up a chair… and maybe keep an eye on your drink.

The family is back, and we waste absolutely no time diving into chaos. What should’ve been a simple midnight birthday post turns into a full-blown debate… because apparently even celebrating someone can come with confusion, questions, and just a little bit of side-eye.

From there, we somehow land in a surprisingly passionate argument about when the week actually starts. Sunday? Monday? Who made that decision and why are we still following it? No one leaves with a clear answer, but everyone definitely has opinions.

Anthony finds himself confronting a harsh reality… we might officially be in our pill organizer era. What starts as a joke turns into one of those “wait, are we getting older?” moments that hits a little too close to home.

We also get into everyday life logistics that shouldn’t be this complicated but somehow are, plus some listener-driven thoughts that send the conversation in directions no one saw coming.

It’s funny, it’s a little too real at times, and it’s exactly what happens when you put this family around a table with no agenda.

Grab your plate and join us… just don’t ask when the week starts unless you’re ready to argue about it.

It’s officially been one year of Sunday Family Dinner and the table is celebrating the only way they know how… by immediately going off the rails.

Anthony kicks things off with anniversary reflections that quickly spiral into conversations you probably didn’t expect five minutes into an episode. The family dives into the wild world of OnlyFans economics, body image, and the mental gymnastics we all play when it comes to weight and self-perception.

Naturally, this leads into scooter stories, near freeway mishaps, and the realization that maybe losing weight just makes you more aerodynamic. Science… kind of.

Midway through, things take a turn into one of the most unexpected debates yet: can adults still skip? The results are exactly as chaotic as you’d imagine and somehow become a full family investigation.

As always, the conversation weaves into classic family dinner territory, unpacking modesty, what’s considered “normal,” and the habits we carry with us from childhood into adulthood.

And just when you think the episode is winding down, Anthony delivers a truly shocking moment… literally. A wiring mishap leaves him getting zapped, proving that even at the end of the episode, nothing is safe and no story is off limits.

It’s funny, unfiltered, a little chaotic, and the perfect way to celebrate one year around the table.

One year in, and somehow it’s only getting better.
