Welcoming Dad Home

·30 min·2 clips

"The truth will butt screw a narcissist."

1. A Contagious Smile Podcast's "Welcoming Dad Home" centers on Victoria and Michael bringing Victoria's father into their home after a major family change. 2. Victoria is the host who says she is a curator and author of 45 books, and Michael is the sidekick who jokes, asks questions, and keeps the banter moving. 3. The episode asks what families should do when a parent suddenly needs care, and it uses Victoria's dad moving in as the core example. 4. Victoria says her dad's wife died about "a month and a half" earlier, and the family decided to move him in with them. 5. The hosts say he is safe, loved, happy, and "taken care of" in the Contagious Smile home. 6. They identify him as a Marine and a former law enforcement officer with experience in domestic violence and narcissism. 7. The episode shifts into a detailed explanation of documents, including medical power of attorney, living wills, and last wills and testaments. 8. Victoria says a living will covers choices like a feeding tube, an NG tube, antibiotics, and pain medication. 9. Michael and Victoria also mention quick claim deeds, executors of estates, property, land, jewelry, furniture, and where assets should go. 10. Victoria warns that people should do this work before "the shit hits the fan" and before a loved one loses the ability to decide. 11. She says "the leeches" and "the roaches" come out when someone dies or loses capacity. 12. Victoria describes seeing Michael act protective again for the first time in years, which she connects to what she loved about him when they dated 25 years ago. 13. She says someone tried to get "froggy" over property that "wasn't left to them," and Michael "stepped up." 14. Victoria frames narcissism as a person who thinks they are a king but acts like a toddler, then cannot handle accountability. 15. Michael jokes that he has seen her answer criticism about her expertise in narcissism with "certifications and training" and "20 years" of experience. 16. The show also reads a submitted family story about a brother, a mother who died the day his sister was born, and a child who became a "miracle." 17. That story includes the NICU, hospital hallways, playground swings, and the sister saying, "Hey Bobo. I can see over everyone's head." 18. The tone moves between practical advice, teasing marital banter, and emotional readings, with both hosts laughing through interruptions and tiredness. 19. Listeners interested in caregiving, estate paperwork, and family stories. 20. Skip it if you want a tightly edited, serious legal discussion.
