To bidet or not to bidet? THAT is the question. As maturely as possible, Kellie and Allen discuss her desire for getting a bidet and his reluctance to do so.

It’s our Father’s Day episode!! Allen is a little rattled from being forced out of his podcast office and his itchy head, but it leads to a story that he wants to add to the list of Kellie’s Ailments.

She doesn’t think it qualifies. Allen is highly disturbed by the use of AI to recreate biblical figures — especially our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. With Emma Kelly heading off to college, Kellie and Allen contemplate what life will be like as they get closer to their empty nest phase of life.

While dreaming of future travels, it lead to a trip down memory lane and an unfortunate event — or two — that happened that one time they went to wine country. 

It’s official! Allen and Bad Influence Jeff are going to Mexico and you’re invited! This is NOT an official podcast family vacation and there are NO special podcast family packages. But! If you’d like to go hang out, Allen will give you all the details, which you can also find on the podcast’s Instagram page @asandwichandsomelovin.

A lot has happened since Kellie and Allen’s last podcast!

Big Al performed a HUGE party foul at Emma Kelly’s graduation party. Kellie interviewed Tom Cruise at a screening of Mission Impossible and is still trying to decide whether she bombed or not. Kellie and Allen took a weekend road trip on their Can-Am Ryker and Canyon down to Texas Hill Country to ride the 3 Twisted Sisters. And Allen learned a hard lesson about eating overeating Chinese food mispronouncing the names of small Texas towns.

On today’s episode Kellie digs into the world of canine nutrition with none other than Dr. Dennis Black, the founder of Ruff Greens. 

From veteran to pet health advocate, Dr. Black shares his miraculous backstory behind launching Ruff Greens, the skepticism he faced, and why he believes most dog food is failing our furry companions.

Kellie asks the tough questions—like whether any of this stuff really works and shares her own experience and the life-changing results it’s had on her own dog Larry. 

If you’ve ever looked at your dog’s bowl and wondered what’s actually in there, this one’s for you.

Kellie is putting scrambling to put together Emma Kelly’s graduation party doing as much DIY as possible while her mother recovers from surgery. But her best friend since fifth grade Tomi Jean is flying in to save Kellie’s sanity! 

After the highly successful #MondaysWithMama, Kellie and Allen are bringing back #TuesdaysTogether! The first one went great, complete with a 3-hour nap…..together! 

Allen finally tells the story he teased and forgot to tell last podcast about how we almost had a third member of this family win a vehicle. 

Kellie and Allen made it in Plano Magazine and you’ll hear all about it, with just a couple minor corrections. 

Kellie answers a question from a listener hating a mommy makeover, and Allen asks if anybody wants to join him and Bad Influence Jeff in Mexico this summer. If that’s you, email us at [email protected].
