This week comedian Dan Levy joins Megan, Chris, and Kurt. They love their kids, BUT… why are the biggest parenting critics in your life the ones you’ve known the longest and also used to share a bathroom with? Family, it’s like riding a bike; you never forget how to do it and when you fall your siblings will always be there to laugh at you. After a very long family vacation, Megan realizes that all that old baggage and habits one develops with their siblings and parents through the years don’t magically go away when you become a parent. Nope, It’s still there lurking behind every parenting decision you make until it blows up like the Volcano Nachos at Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville Restaurant. And Dan Levy talks about how his younger brother, with much less parenting experience than him, can’t stop giving unsolicited parenting advice. So this Thanksgiving, you may not be able to choose your family, but you can certainly choose to double the shots in the Last Mango In Paris Margherita to help cope. Happy Thanksgiving Buttheads!
