Episode 791: Prawn and Order

Episode notes

Leora brings the case against her husband, Sam. Sam once brought home a SURPRISE fishtank. Sam and the kids love it, but not Leora! To add insult to injury, Sam brought home two surprise shrimp – ostensibly to clean the tank. Leora wants Sam to talk to her before adding more pets to the home, but Sam says that shrimp aren’t pets – they’re part of the tank’s filtration system! Who’s right? Who’s wrong?
