About this listen

This episode is a roller coaster from start to finish. Anthony opens with a shocking story about bathroom etiquette that somehow spirals into full-on bathroom humor—locker-room behavior, gym filming etiquette, and what counts as normal vs non-normal grooming habits. The family dives into the debate, and, of course, opinions are hilariously divided.

Kelly drops a topic that goes completely off the rails, leading to the family teasing Mom about her hearing (all in good fun). Anthony also recounts his recent car problems—including a near-cartoon moment where he almost got chased by a train like something out of a slapstick comedy. 🚗🚆

Amid all the laughs, we shift gears to discuss a deeply tragic real-world event: the killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old veteran’s hospital nurse shot and killed by federal immigration agents during protests in Minneapolis. Pretti was described by friends and colleagues as compassionate and dedicated to caring for others, and his death has sparked national attention and debate.

We talk about the parallels some have drawn between current events and dystopian themes from The Hunger Games and The Handmaid’s Tale—looking at how stories of individual sacrifice and government power resonate in today’s world.

Join us for a mix of laughs, chaos, and thoughtful conversation.
