A Sandwich and Some Lovin’

Kellie has been having a rough week, to say the least. Thankfully, Allen is there to make a late-night prescription run, excuse her forgetfulness, tolerate her bad cooking, and carry this family and this podcast on his back! So...why did Kellie's mama send out an email with an emergency prayer request? What awkward encounter did Allen have with the saleslady while shopping for Kellie's Christmas present? Pete the Attack Dog strikes again, but who is his unexpected victim? And we wrap up with a listener letter about a Christmas dilemma that has Kellie and Allen getting a little agitated with each other's answers.

In the most grown-up way possible -- considering Allen is part of this podcast -- Kellie attempts to describe what it was like to prepare for and experience her first colonoscopy. It's something many people fear and put off doing, but it truly can save your life! Plus, it doesn't hurt when your doctor is super hot. Not hotter than Allen, of course, but still super hot. Kellie and Allen were also invited to the next-door-neighbors' annual Christmas party which was everything they hoped it would be! But what comment from another party guest has Kellie scrambling to make an appointment with the botox fairy? Thank you to our podcast sponsors!

Kellie and Allen had a Day Date! They went back to the place where they first met for a little sushi, and then they headed to the theater to see what all the fuss with "A Star Is Born" is about. Let us warn you, if you haven't seen this movie, you're going to have to fast forward through about 10 minutes of this podcast or Kellie and Allen will ruin it for you. And if you saw it and loved it, you're going to be very disappointed that Kellie and Allen do not share your opinion. In fact, Allen is downright angry! And are you guilty of being a Lawnmower Parent? Do you even know what a Lawnmower Parent is?? Let's discuss.

Kellie and Allen survived the company Christmas party....BARELY! Did Kellie FINALLY win a big prize or did J-Si win AGAIN??? Did Kellie do anything to embarrass herself or her husband? And which celebrity shared a microphone with Kellie for some Backstreet Boys karaoke? While shopping for holiday yard art, a woman overheard a conversation between Kellie and Allen that led to an awkward moment. Kellie took the kids to the annual Happy Birthday Jesus! party with her girlfriends while Allen checked out all the offerings at the gun show. Allen is super excited to be invited to a Christmas party where Jerry Jones is expected to attend. Allen's ONLY GOAL OF THE NIGHT is to get a selfie with Jerry. Will he succeed?

After Allen got emotional sharing his struggles with raising a teenage daughter, the podcast family lifted him up with letters of encouragement and some wonderful suggestions. He shares several of those messages on this week's episode. Do you and your significant other give each other the silent treatment during an argument? GUILTY!! How should you respond when your lover goes silent? Allen gives you some helpful tips.

Kellie and Allen begin this episode with a tribute to the late President George HW Bush. And after a brief update on the latest developments with rescue dog Larry, things take a serious turn. Let's be honest, raising teenage girls is HARD. And things get real emotional for Allen when he shares how difficult it is to have Daddy's Little Princess pull away from him. The fact that Allen is able to share these emotions so openly is just a testament as to how the podcast audience has become like family to us.

The podcast starts off on an unusual note -- Allen admits he was wrong! And then we dive into "The Incident" that could potentially destroy Kellie's relationship with her in-laws. Kellie will admit that she's jealous their rescue dog Larry seems to favor Allen, who refers to himself now as "Alpha Dog." But Kellie has her theory as to why this is, which will also explain the "B&B" in today's podcast title. Tensions do tend to run high around the holidays, which may be partially to blame for Kellie and Allen not speaking before and after a huge concert. Plus, find out what it's really like to be backstage. (It's probably not what you think.) And we finally have a date (almost!) for the Podcast Family Vacation in Mexico!

Kellie and Allen were invited to the best little Market Street in Texas -- Mabank -- to celebrate Small Business Saturday and to host Mabank's first (and hopefully annual!) Swap Party! During the podcast, Kellie shares an article she found on the things the author WISHES she hadn't wasted money on over the holidays. It just might save YOU some cash this Christmas!

Kellie and Allen took a road trip to Lubbock for the Texas Tech/Texas game. How was this road trip different from the one they took two years ago when they were still trying to impress each other? VERY different. Hear about Kellie and Allen's adventures from the weekend, from gut-busting BBQ to tailgating with good friends to a frustrating search for coffee. And Allen brings a new bit to the podcast -- Pulling It Out of Our......Hat. Sure, he stole the bit, but he came up with the cute name for it! So! What would they each like the other to do more? When it comes to technology, what does Kellie do that drives Allen up a wall? Find out the answer to these questions and more on this podcast!

Kellie may be a little "off" on this episode, but thanks goodness Allen is here to carry the podcast on his back! OF COURSE, the podcast starts with the latest adventures of the rescue dog, Larry. Gosh, we love that dog but how much damage can one lovable little pooch cause? And do you dress your dog in costumes? Kellie found an interesting article that may make you reconsider that. If you held on to some toys from the '90s, they could be worth big bucks! Do you have a hidden treasure in your attic? And Allen breaks down how different men and women really are.

*Parental Discretion Advised Allen starts off the podcast in a bad mood -- a bad mood that has lingered for more than 48 hours. Is it something Kellie said? Is it something the kids did? Is it the fact that Larry the Rescue can't control himself? Once Allen gets it all off his chest, will his mood improve? I guess you'll have to listen to the WHOLE podcast to find out. After an inappropriate phone call made it through on the Kidd Kraddick Morning Show on Friday, Kellie hit the roof. While the topic of swinging should be off-limits for family-friendly morning radio, it's not off limits for our podcast. After Kellie is shocked to find out that apparently everybody but her knows that some of her friends are swingers, she shares an article that gives you some signs to look for if you suspect your neighbors are into that swinging lifestyle. Allen keeps a beard year 'round, but for the month of November -- also celebrated as Movember to bring attention to men's health -- he's decided not to trim his beard and just let it grow wild. Will Kellie be able to handle all of that?? And we wrap up the podcast with a couple of listener emails. After listening, we'd love to hear your two cents!

Just when you think your dog is house-broken, your kid steps in poop and tracks it all over the house. Allen and Kellie give you the low-down on the chaos that kicked off with rescue dog Larry's poo incident. And after Allen suddenly realized how much he loves the word "buffoonery," it got him thinking about all the words he loves and hates. So he and Kellie came up with their lists of favorite and least-favorite words. See if you agree! We appreciate our podcast family SO much!! One wrote in to share a tip about Apple's latest iphone update that lets you control your kids screen time, and another sent a wonderful give because she felt sorry for what we were using to tote around out podcast equipment. Also, get all the details on Kellie and Allen's upcoming visit to Mabank, Texas, the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
