EP 43: Psychics, Patriotism, and Please Check Your Browser Settings

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 way. He also delivers an absolutely unforgettable (and mildly traumatizing) story that will have you immediately checking your work computer’s browser history and privacy settings. Consider yourself warned.Things take another unexpected turn when Matthew raises the topic of acceptable cleaning practices for… personal items. Let’s just say you may want to think twice before grabbing that glass of water without asking questions.The conversation shifts to whether people today are more patriotic than in the past, with Anthony breaking down the difference between patriotism and nationalism — and why that distinction matters. Anthony also promises a “lighter” story… which leads the family to seriously question his definition of the word.Mom brings some must-hear stories about actors that spark plenty of reactions, and she and Matthew revisit a previous topic where new information may have actually changed her perspective. Growth at the table — we love to see it.As always, it’s thoughtful, ridiculous, and just unfiltered enough to make you laugh, cringe, and maybe rethink a few life choices.Pull up a chair.
