Tammy's Boy Podcast

Comedian Emily Wade returns to Tammy's Boy Podcast for another unforgettable conversation with Jon Carden about growing up in a dysfunctional family, the habits childhood leaves behind, and learning how to feel safe as an adult.

She also shares a wild story about faking a car accident to get out of work, discusses how growing up around secrecy taught her to lie, and opens up about therapy, family boundaries, and not speaking to her mother for nearly two decades.

Jon shares his own experiences with childhood trauma, family secrets, and learning to trust people with the truth.

Later, Emily joins the Tammy's Boy family to react to Reddit stories about marriage, parenting, and complicated relationships with mothers.

Nate Marshall joins Jon Carden on Tammy's Boy to talk about growing up in Pennsylvania, discovering a sister his family didn't know existed, living with foster siblings, and slowly learning the stories his parents never told him.

Nate opens up about his dad's wild younger years, the phone call that changed what he knew about his family, his parents becoming foster parents, his relationship with his brother, family conflict surrounding his grandmother, and the emotional realization that his father's dementia may make some family stories impossible to recover.

It's a Tammy's Boy conversation about parents, siblings, family secrets, growing up, comedy, and how much we really know about the people who raised us.

Comedian and University of Texas Professor. Sarah Matthes joins Jon Carden on Tammy's Boy to talk about growing up while both of her parents faced serious illnesses and how spending much of her childhood fearing she could lose them shaped the person she became. Sarah opens up about her father's illness and death, her mother's repeated health battles, childhood anxiety and panic attacks, hiding a secret teenage life from her parents, getting caught shortly before leaving for Yale, and eventually deciding she'd rather let her mother know who she really is than maintain a more acceptable version of herself.

Christina Alvarado hasn't spoken to her mother since her wedding day and the story behind that relationship only gets stranger. On Tammy's Boy Podcast, Jon Carden sits down with Christina, owner and operator of Sunset Strip in Austin, to talk about the parents who raised her and the family chaos that followed.

Christina talks about growing up with a mother who spent decades with McDonald's Corporation, being a daddy's girl, moving around the country, her parents' separation, the wedding that became a breaking point with her mother, her father's unforgettable exit, and the bizarre way an “Aunt” eventually became family for real.
