Every slot is full. But then when I take a battery out to use it, the open slot is going to drive me insane.” 🔋😆Tricia joins the fun, sharing her upcoming birthday and the family’s quirky celebration rituals: embarrassing photos, feather boas, and the infamous birthday hat. “Birthdays are a huge deal.

We’re very celebratory.” 🎉👑The episode takes a hilarious turn with stories about summer jobs at Schlitterbahn, the legendary “Sliderbond” sign, and the risks of teenage dorm life. “Send your kid down there for the summer. I do. I’m worried there’d be too much slitter boning going on.” The hosts reminisce about giving away tickets, limo rides, and the unforgettable misspelling that became a studio legend. 🏊♂️🚗Family quirks and kid sayings steal the spotlight, from “sucker involved” negotiations to “the darkness” painting and the mama chicken egg story. “She looked at us both and she went, it’s the darkness.
