    I Spent My Childhood Preparing for My Parents to Die

    Comedian and University of Texas Professor. Sarah Matthes joins Jon Carden on Tammy's Boy to talk about growing up while both of her parents faced serious illnesses and how spending much of her childhood fearing she could lose them shaped the person she became. Sarah opens up about her father's illness and death, her mother's repeated health battles, childhood anxiety and panic attacks, hiding a secret teenage life from her parents, getting caught shortly before leaving for Yale, and eventually deciding she'd rather let her mother know who she really is than maintain a more acceptable version of herself.

    I Haven’t Spoken to My Mom Since My Wedding Day

    Christina Alvarado hasn't spoken to her mother since her wedding day and the story behind that relationship only gets stranger. On Tammy's Boy Podcast, Jon Carden sits down with Christina, owner and operator of Sunset Strip in Austin, to talk about the parents who raised her and the family chaos that followed. Christina talks about growing up with a mother who spent decades with McDonald's Corporation, being a daddy's girl, moving around the country, her parents' separation, the wedding that became a breaking point with her mother, her father's unforgettable exit, and the bizarre way an “Aunt” eventually became family for real.
