🤘 Live in Concert! Never Too Old | Easy Bake Lovin’ Podcast – Episode 16

🎤 Loud amps. 🛣️ Long drives. 👟 Squishy insoles.

This week, Steve and Kellie are proving that live music has no age limit. From Sean Cassidy and Alice in Chains to Coheed, Clutch, and Pantera (RIP Dimebag & Vinnie 🖤🪦), they share the road stories, venue picks, and band crushes that have shaped their lives, their love, and their hearing loss.

This episode isn’t just about reliving past shows. It’s about the raw energy of kick drums that rattle your chest 🥁, the vocals that break your heart 🎙️, and the sacred post-show ritual of wearing your new tee the next morning like a badge of honor 👕✨

Whether you’re still throwing horns from the front row 🤘 or head-nodding from the balcony 🪑, this one’s for anyone who still feels most alive when the lights go down and the first note hits.

🫶 Our Relationship Deep Dive | Easy Bake Lovin’ Podcast – Episode 15

Before the love languages, before Team Popsicle, before grocery shopping became a mini-date—there was one big question: Why does this work so well?

This week, Steve and Kellie roll up their sleeves and take a real look under the hood of their marriage. With stories from past relationships gone sideways (video games, wet sheets, and ghosting at concerts), they share exactly what not to do—and how those lessons helped them build something solid, fun, and fully theirs.

This episode isn’t about perfect romance. It’s about partnership. About doing the damn laundry. About not gaslighting your person in the pasta aisle. About choosing curiosity over control, every single time.

And yes, there’s some solid psychology:

📘 Games People Play by Eric Berne – decoding ego states through Transactional Analysis

📕 Neurosis and Human Growth by Karen Horney – escaping the “Tyranny of Shoulds”

💌 The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman – affection at Costco means everything

📗 The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey – for that emotional bank account

🎨 The Creative Act by Rick Rubin – honoring each other’s methods without judgment

If you’ve ever felt out of sync with your partner—or finally in step—this deep dive’s for you.

⚾️ Take Us Out to the Ballgame: Our Kind of Date Night | Easy Bake Lovin’ Podcast – Episode 14

Before the swipe right, before the vows, before the podcast—there was baseball.

And for Steve and Kellie, it’s more than just a game. It’s date night with extra innings.

This week, the duo steps up to the mic (and the batter’s box) to share why baseball is their favorite way to slow down, show up, and snack hard. From theme nights and field trip chaos to childhood bloopers and Twinkie-fueled home runs, it’s a ninth-inning love story with stadium vibes.

If you’ve ever left a game full of snacks, sun, and each other—this one’s for you.
