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 (naturally) into stories about great-grandma in the rest home, surprise boyfriends, and the reality that senior citizens might be living far more exciting lives than we assume. Add in some classic table banter about STIs, dentures, and whether religious upbringings can delay — but not deny — human nature.

As we head toward the end of the episode, the focus shifts to Dad. With his birthday around the corner, Anthony brings a Bay Area–themed 1963 throwback: population stats, bridge toll prices that will make you gasp, and Oakland birth stories that feel very on-brand. There’s also a teaser about a birthday gift that promises to be… unforgettable.

It’s reflective, ridiculous, nostalgic, and just a little bit spicy — exactly how we like our Sunday dinners.

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 let’s just say not everyone would survive a roast of Anthony.

In the middle of the chaos, we stumble into one of the wildest stories of the week: a fighter whose glued-on hairpiece gets punched off mid-match and tossed into the crowd like a sweaty souvenir. Yes. It gets passed around. Yes. We have questions. From there, things turn thoughtful when we debate a parenting dilemma: if your child asks for something and your partner says no, who do you back? Does it depend on the situation? The stakes? The hair dye? The conversation gets layered fast.

And toward the end, we bring it home. There’s an update on Dad and next steps involving a research team at UCSF focused on FTD, which leads to logistics, sibling banter about who’s driving into San Francisco, and a reminder that even heavy moments still happen around the dinner table. We close the way we always do: with love, a little sarcasm, and a full menu of al pastor tacos, beans, cilantro lime rice… and the eternal question of who’s doing the dishes.

Roasts, wigs, parenting debates, and real-life updates. Just another Sunday around our table.

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.
