Welcome to the latest episode of "Sibling Rivalry," where we finally drag our brother Loren onto the podcast. He’s the last sibling to show up, so naturally, we had to make it a thing.
This episode is a trip down memory lane—think G.I. Joes, dirt bikes, and the kind of family chaos that only a large, blended family can deliver. There’s talk of Loren being carted around like a toddler, some questionable fashion choices, and the infamous family gatherings that defined our childhood.
We also get into the dynamics of growing up together, with a few heartfelt moments sprinkled in for good measure. It’s not all banter—just mostly. So, if you’re into awkward sibling memories and mildly embarrassing stories, this one’s for you. Tune in. Or don’t. Loren finally did.
