Summary

We are taking a break this summer (not a vacation!) to produce new stories, so we are sharing some of our favorite episodes while we’re working. This episode was first broadcast in 2018 and is one of our all-time favorites. In case you didn't know, we're still making episodes that are available exclusively on Nora's Substack! - The Achilli siblings would like you to know that if there was a Dead Parent Contest (there's not), they would win the gold medal. In 2008, their dad was murdered by a hitman in a dispute over a girlfriend. Four years after their father's killers are tried and convicted, their mom dies after driving her car off a cliff. This is a story about being orphaned as young adults and the family ties that keep siblings together. — The episode transcript can be found here. — We’re lucky to only work with sponsors and brands we know and love.

1:16.2	My name is Dave. I'm the middle brother, the only brother.

1:32.8	Thanks for asking.
1:35.2	This, all this banter you just heard, that's what it sounds like when a group of siblings
