It’s an uncomfortable truth to confront but at some point in your adult life, you have to come to terms with it: yes, your parents have a favorite kid. This and a bunch of other factors have caused so much—if we’re being honest, hilarious—strife between siblings. So for this episode, Matt and Tara discuss all the highs and lows of sibling competition: gift giving! birth order! making the best impression on a parent. They also debate the merits of gift cards and going into overdrive with the breast pump.

“My most recent text to Tara was ‘I am going to strangle you’.”
“If we wanted to listen to this crazy lady rant, we would’ve married her.”
“You know you have a big family if you have the automatic gratuity added to your check.”
“We both got old enough to understand that each other’s personalities weren’t personal attacks on each other.”
“There’s nothing that can piss siblings off more than when somebody tries to one-up the other on a Christmas gift.”
“You getting a sister at what would have been ten years old, I don’t think that poor child would have made it.”
