What happens when 16 kids grow up under one roof?

In this episode, Mary and Peter Gallagher (numbers 2 and 4 in the Gallagher family) sit down with their dad, Conor Gallagher, and host Tim Hill to talk about what it was really like growing up in a household of sixteen kids.

They discuss how the family culture shifted over time in the Gallagher house, what rules actually stuck, threats of military school, and why things get extremely tense over board games.

This episode is packed full of hilarious family stories — but also an inside look at what the two think about big families. Do they want large families themselves? This is an episode you don’t want to miss.
