Ep.121: Brothers w/ Alex and Phil

Rick is joined by his older brother Felipe (Phil) and younger brother Alex in a very special episode—the first time all three brothers have ever recorded together and the first time in nearly a year they were all together in person. Recorded on Christmas Eve, the conversation captures a rare and meaningful moment of connection.

Phil has been living in Texas for the past year while completing military training and schooling, and Alex has spent nearly two years in Japan teaching English to elementary and middle school students. Alex shares stories about life abroad, the challenges of being away from family, and the personal growth that came from living overseas.

Phil reveals that he recently proposed and the brothers discuss how he knew she was the one, when he decided to propose, and early thoughts on wedding timing and location.

The episode closes with the three simply enjoying time together, reflecting on recent experiences and looking ahead to what 2026 may bring.
