Sunday Family Dinner: Conversations around the Table

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 als...

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...

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 relatio...

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 li...

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...

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 stora...

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 th...

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 al...

Anthony kicks things off already worked up—because of course Kelly wastes no time getting under his skin and raising his blood pressure before we even get properly started. From there, the family dives into car pet peeves, and let’s just say… some of you out there are not driving right. We also get into the internet doing what it does best—roasting a robotic response from a McDonald’s CEO over som...

We’re back at the table… just in a completely different house. In this milestone EP 50, the family celebrates a double moment: Tony’s birthday (yes, we’re talking candle logistics at this point in life) and a whirlwind move into their new home that somehow went from “just looking” to fully moved in within 28 days. From the jump, it’s classic Sunday Family Dinner energy. The crew breaks down first...

This week at the table starts with a moment of confusion when Anthony isn’t quite sure who is actually joining the conversation—earning him a look from Tony that says everything without saying a word. From there, the family dives into the reality of getting older and realizing some of the foods from childhood have quietly disappeared. From snacks you can’t seem to find anymore to forgotten favorit...

We kick off the way we often do, laughing our way into something unexpectedly heavy. A comment about “looking thinner” turns into a conversation about shaved heads, chemo assumptions, and then a very real reflection on Grandma’s radiation treatments and how our family first learned her prognosis. We talk about how medical information was delivered then vs. now, and what “comfort” really means when...

This week at The Table, we kick things off with a story that had everyone clutching their pearls… and then immediately un-clutching them. A 73-year-old British grandmother decides it’s never too late to embrace her sexuality — and makes up for lost time in a big way. The family debates morality, autonomy, “yucking someone’s yum,” and whether 70 really is the new 60. From there, things spiral (natu...

We kick things off with an Am I the Asshole? that has the table divided. Imagine showing up to what you think is a classy wine night… only to discover it’s a surprise party where everyone is dressed like you and the whole thing turns into an unkind roast. If you quietly grab your keys and Irish-exit after two hours of being the punchline, are you dramatic… or just done? The family weighs in, and l...

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...

Kelly is fresh off her birthday trip to Vegas, complete with a Hell’s Kitchen dining experience and an interaction with fellow diners that’ll have you asking, what would you do? The fun continues with a theater faux pas so distracting it leaves the actors questioning their own performance. Plus, we tackle the ultimate travel etiquette debate: if someone asks you to save their seat at the airport,...

In this episode, the family dives into some big questions and some very uncomfortable confessions. We talk about whether there should be an added layer between police and the public when it comes to mental health responses, and what that could look like in practice. Matthew shares a recent visit to a psychic that brought him a surprising sense of closure — even if it came in a slightly roundabout...

At the time of recording, the family is ringing in the New Year and reflecting on how they celebrated, while also mourning the official end of music videos on MTV. Yes, we are still not over it. Things take a turn when we dive into Peruvian shamans and their very bold, drug-induced predictions for 2026, because why not start the year that way? Mom keeps us on our toes by mixing up some important d...

This week, the family recaps Christmas on the coast with a holiday trip to Trinidad (not Tobago, we promise) . Think stunning ocean views, unexpected power outages, and Matthew delivering bathroom stories absolutely no one asked for but everyone somehow needed. Anthony kicks things up a notch by terrorizing the family with a doll he found (because why not), while the house itself starts giving ser...

It’s a big week at the table! Matthew starts us off with some good news — a well-earned promotion — before the family looks ahead to the holidays and a road trip to the coast that will absolutely test everyone’s patience. God help us all. Of course, we can’t avoid politics this week. Between the latest presidential plaques and the upcoming Patriot Games (no, not Hunger Games , though the vibes fee...

One of our childhood fears officially came true when we dive into the story of a hiker who recently got stuck in quicksand — and yes, it unlocked a whole new level of anxiety for all of us. From there, it’s home project season as Mom, Dad, and Ant prep for winter weather, complete with Mom’s very helpful tips on how to handle “the tip” (wink). The family hits the town fully convinced they’re dress...

Matthew went on a “date”… and that’s where things immediately get interesting. He admits to using Dad’s illness as a get-out-of-jail-free card to escape awkward situations, and the family unpacks a night filled with red flags, probation revelations, and some truly questionable behavior. We’re recording post-Thanksgiving, and one lesson is crystal clear: turkey should never, under any circumstances...

Is a Christmas gift registry helpful… or totally tacky? The family dives into holiday gifting etiquette, from gift cards and fake reactions to presents you definitely did not want. Matt openly admits he figures out who bought what before Christmas morning, while Mom has some very strong opinions on gift cards. We also recap the family’s first-ever Korean BBQ experience, which somehow turns into Ke...

This week, Sunday Family Dinner welcomes our first-ever guest at the table — Perez! The episode kicks off with plenty of laughs, including a haunting recap of the family’s ill-fated “healthy eating week” (boiled chicken, zero joy), plus the story of that one vacation where Matthew got way too drunk and decided to imitate a hotel fountain. Dramatically. Repeatedly. Then we dive into one of the most...

This week, the family heads out to support Matthew at his work event… and somehow ends up working the event. Let’s just say someone (👀 Tony ) couldn’t be trusted alone with the chicken, and the stories only get more chaotic from there. We also dive into the topic of layoffs — and specifically how not to handle them — plus a little political chit-chat because when do we not go there? Matthew share...
