This special episode is a heartfelt celebration of legacy, laughter, and love. For six years, Adam has honored his father’s birthday on the show—but this year marks a first: his sister joins him behind the mic. Together, they share memories, humor, and lessons from the man who shaped their sense of wonder, independence, and wit.
The conversation drifts between nostalgia and perspective—what their dad would think of today’s world, how his spirit lives on through family mannerisms and jokes, and what they’ve both carried forward into parenting and adulthood. They talk about generational change, health, humor, and the importance of living right now instead of waiting for “someday.”
It’s raw, funny, and deeply human—a reminder that grief doesn’t always have to hurt; sometimes, it can inspire you to live a little lighter and love a little louder.
???? Listen in for:
- Reflections on life, loss, and legacy
- The power of humor in hard times
- Lessons passed down through generations
- A rare glimpse into the sibling side of the TMMA host you’ve come to know
???? “Make good choices, be happy, and don’t take yourself so seriously.” — Samantha W.
