Episode 23 - FL in a Nutshell
Sorry it took so long to get this episode posted, had some pretty busy weeks and got a little behind. Don't mind this recording being 3+ weeks ago and 2 months since we last uploaded. Anyways...
Andrew and Courtney talk about their Florida vacation, Courtney's big garden, the Pinewood Derby, the BIG town FIRE, and more Holiday World adventures. We also make a VERY SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT (Around 39 min. in) we are excited to share with EVERYONE! Andrew finally fulfills his Publix dreams. Until next month... Stay sweaty my dudes!
Episode 22 - Scarred for Life
Andrew and Courtney talk about the scars that life has bestowed upon them. From knee scars, to hand scars, to a gruesome double homicide... Okay, not the murder part. There are moments of hurting, but also moments of healing. Also there's teleportation!? Are you for real? You won't believe your ears in this episode!
Episode 21 - Nostalgia Overload
Courtney and Andrew talk extensively (in the longest episode to date) about the toys and events from their childhood in this very V.B.S. filled extravaganza! V.B.S. in this context references Vacation Bible Schools, Very Betty Spaghetti, and Vast Blooper Section. You can be sure Jesus will be mentioned, trauma will be revisited, and Marley WILL snore. Seriously, we had a lot of laughs in this one. Listen to the end for almost 5 minutes of goofs.
Episode 20 - Expedition ESV
Andrew and Courtney talk about hobbies, lobbies, and more goings on. Andrew also talks about his favorite game of 2025 so far. Probably for longer then you want him to. We also talk about the things we enjoy doing in our spare time and the legacy we leave behind.
Episode 19 - Jesus vs. Santa (Keep Christ in Xmas)
Courtney and Andrew talk about their recent trip to Holiday World, Comic Con, the Jesus Music Tour, and they even come up with their own trademark Christmas songs! Watch out Mariah Carey and Michael Bublé; these songs are going to be the next big hit this December! Or however early they start playing Christmas music these days. Either way, you better watch out, and you better not cry!
Episode 18 - We're Back! (Life Update)
The long-awaited return of your two favorite hosts! Everyone is alive and well, we pinky promise! Andrew and Courtney talk about life and what has happened since you last heard them. And boy howdy there's a lot to discuss! (Also, Episode 17 was recorded and lost, so that's why we jumped to 18.)
Episode 16 - Marley Goes to the Vet
Andrew and Courtney go on a journey to the pet clinic with Marley, the Boston terrier! They also talk about Toy Story, hurricane Milton, fall cookouts, gnats, and also play the newlywed game! How well do the Carlsen's REALLY know each other? There are a lot of laughs and a LOT of bloopers (listen to the end to hear all the goofs)!
Episode 15 - Part 2, Number 2
Andrew and Courtney talk about the BIG move to the BIG city. It's more like a part 2 to the last episode. Getting to Indiana in one piece didn't come without a price. They also talk about Buc-cee's, fall festivals and about situations involving the number 2. SPOILER ALERT ... It's poopy. (If you don't like hearing poop stories you probably want to skip this one.)
Episode 14 - Fizzbo the Clown
Andrew and Courtney are in Indiana now! After many weeks of moving, they are back and better then ever. At least, that's what people are saying. They missed recording a lot of stuff so there is a lot to catch up on. If you are afraid of clowns, we apologize for the upsetting imagery.
Episode 13 - We Spill the Beans
Andrew and Courtney talk about a big life update. Sorry this took like 3 weeks to come out... We've been busy. The beans have left a really big stain on our carpet so we had to get that taken care of too. We talk Indiana vacation, Andrew's new job, and the big move!
Episode 12 - Timon, Pumbaa, and Parmesan
Andrew and Courtney continue talking about spiritual gifts. The three gifts focused on in this episode are craftsmanship, discernment, and administration. They talk about Old Navy, Trader Joe's (still not sponsored), arts and crafts, and even reference One Direction. There is only one direction to heaven. (*SPOILER* It's through Jesus.) (P.S. The title will make sense, we promise.) (P.P.S. You're beautiful)
Episode 11 - Hanging with Hollie!
(TW: Stillbirth) Andrew and Courtney interview their first very special guest, Hollie! Well... Not Andrew. He had to work late and missed the discussion, but he's there for the beginning and the end. Courtney and Hollie talk about motherhood, sisterhood, overcoming loss and balancing life and faith. Andrew holds his breath for a really long time. Lots of bloopers if you listen to the end.

Episode 10 - The Gift that Keeps On Giving
Andrew and Courtney made it to 10 episodes! The big ONE-OH! The main topic focuses on Spiritual Gifts. They talk about Amazon Prime Day finds, Courtney eats some surprise Crumble cookies, and Andrew gets quizzed on his Bible knowledge. FUN FACT: This episode was a nightmare to record. Marley farted 4 times and it stunk really bad. Also, there was a fly buzzing around us as well until Andrew 360-no-scoped it. Thanks for sticking with us! Smell you later!
