Today, Jeff is grateful for no-lace Converse sneakers.

Today, Callie is grateful for Jeff and his housekeeping skills.

Jeff’s birthday is one month from today! Last year, Jeff wanted to be alone for his big day. He’s not as stressed this year, so he can be excited again.

Today, Callie and Jeff are continuing lessons about the power of silence. Some people will take anything you say and spin it into something negative.

A listener brings up the challenges of using the power of silence on family members. When you happen to be blood-related with someone, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have boundaries. Realize that contributing to toxic conversations is optional to participate in.

A dramatic reading of the recipe for salted caramel blondies.

Andy Grammer (Jeff and Callie’s new BFF) joins the show and talks about how being encouraging and kind makes you rebellious these days. During meet-and-greets, Andy brings everyone into a circle and asks them about their deepest pain and what it has forced them to grow into. At 25, Andy lost his mom, and it gave him complete empathy for the rest of the world. When Andy needs uplifting, one of his go-tos is Louis Prima, the voice of King Louie in The Jungle Book. Andy knows inspiring songs can be cheesy; however, adding context and value will make them come out authentically.. Lastly, it is complete misery that Andy’s songs have been on Kids Bop.

And if you want to know about the shirt … you’ll just have to listen!
