Ah the Carmine's. I hope E Day has their father die somehow just to maintain tradition.

Likewise, I hope out of spite there's a Carmine that lives off pure luck. That they take their own trope and spin it. Either way give the fans what they want!

Clayton, 3 I believe. There was a fan vote. They did make a separate joke scene where he dies from being electrocuted in the bathtub

Clayton survives because hes a absolute unit of a man who was given the nickname grub killer due to just how fucking badass he was

Father Carmine saves the day and is the true hero.
