A Sandwich and Some Lovin’

Kellie and Allen were lucky enough to be invited to Starpower to promote the Partners Card, which benefits The Family Place. We talked to Craig from Starpower about some great deals and a REALLY cool Christmas gift, followed by Paige from The Family Place. She shared with us some signs to look for if you suspect a friend or loved one or your TEENAGER is involved in an abusive relationship. And to celebrate his mother's 75th birthday, Allen shared some lessons he learned being raised by an Asian mother. And because their daughters are addicted to their electronic devices, Kellie and Allen are considering using an app to control the amount of time they can use their phones. And finally, we meet some of the podcast family who showed up for the broadcast!

Kellie and Allen are in love with their new rescue dog, Larry. But let's be honest, Allen is obsessed. He's not just Alpha Dog...he's declared himself Alpha WOLF. Allen has bought all the books on doggie nature and discipline and decided something he learned from the Dog Whisperer Cesar Milan can help Kellie with her anxiety. Before Larry, Kellie had George. When George passed away last year, it took a long time for her heart to heal enough to welcome a new dog. But when she was cleaning out her purse, Kellie came across a tract someone sent her right after George died that addresses the question, "Will I see my dog again in Heaven?" One man who lost his dog searched the Bible for answers and Kellie shares what he believes -- and hopes -- to be true. And before Larry derailed the entire podcast with a potty break, Allen and Kellie try to squeeze in some podcast listeners' letters with "Ask Allen Anything." Thank you to our sponsors!

Kellie and Allen are excited to announce a new addition to the family -- Larry the Rescue! Is he a malti-poo mix? A yorkie-poo mix? It doesn't matter because they love that little thing and could've spent the entire podcast talking about him. Even though they had to restrain themselves from doing that, you'll still find out how Larry came to be a part of the Evans family, how they came up with his name, and how potty training has been going. Kellie and Allen also ventured out to the wettest, loneliest place on earth -- the State Fair of Texas. Over a week of solid rain has kept the crowds away, but that didn't stop these two from trying to have a little adventure. Also, some podcast listeners emailed letters asking for advice and it got pretty deep. In fact, Kellie and Allen would love it if you listen and then offer some advice of your own at kellieandallen.com. Thank you to this week's podcast sponsors!

Right after Kellie and Allen started this podcast, a listener named Linda Nguyen wrote Kellie a letter -- with a stamp and everything! -- saying that her dream was to make them her homemade pho. Kellie read that letter on the seventh podcast, and now WELL over a year later, Linda's dream has come true! Kellie and Allen visited the Nguyens' home and were blown away by the hospitality of Linda and her husband Leon, who bent over backwards to get all their favorite things. And right after lunch, they recorded their podcast with special guest, Linda! On this episode, Kellie and Allen always talk about how important it is to carve out time for date nights. Kellie actually found out the average cost of date night in America. Also, if you need more than date night to bring back the spark, Kellie gives you some simple words to use that could save your marriage.

Kellie and Allen are dealing with two teenage girls right now and, as you can imagine, things can get a little emotional. After another dramatic morning getting his daughter off to school, Allen did some research and found tips for dads having trouble communicating with their daughters. In honor of Mean Girls Day on October 4, the members of the Kidd Kraddick Morning Show filled out a Burn Book with insults for each other, and a few people wrote burns for Allen! We read some of the funny ones and one that stung a little. Then it's time for another internet-breaking edition of Interesting Stuff. Kellie and Allen find articles they think are helpful, intriguing or just plain weird. Tune in and prepare to be interested. Finally, a listener asks for gift ideas for her techie/DC Comics loving boyfriend, and Allen has a whole list of ideas. You might find them helpful, too!
