Parenting is one of the hardest jobs in the world, and we usually only get two examples. Comedian Jon Carden asks comedians and entertainers one simple question—“Who raised you?” The answers reveal the funny, messy, and sometimes painful truths about parents and how they shape who we are today.
My Dad Had a Whole Daughter We Didn't Know About | Nate Marshall
Nate Marshall joins Jon Carden on Tammy's Boy to talk about growing up in Pennsylvania, discovering a sister his family didn't know existed, living with foster siblings, and slowly learning the stories his parents never told him.
Nate opens up about his dad's wild younger years, the phone call that changed what he knew about his family, his parents becoming foster parents, his relationship with his brother, family conflict surrounding his grandmother, and the emotional realization that his father's dementia may make some family stories impossible to recover.
It's a Tammy's Boy conversation about parents, siblings, family secrets, growing up, comedy, and how much we really know about the people who raised us.

I Spent My Childhood Preparing for My Parents to Die
Comedian and University of Texas Professor. Sarah Matthis 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.
