🤘 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.

🧁 Our Oldest Friends | Easy Bake Lovin’ Podcast – Episode 13

Before the vows, before the podcast, before we ever met—there were them.

This week, Steve and Kellie hand the mic to their oldest and most dangerously honest friends: Shannon and Ashley.

From backflipping girlfriends and alley fights to Southern Comfort pre-games and roadside disasters, this one’s got all the chaos and heart that lifelong friendships are made of. But beneath the stories? A reminder that the people who knew you then often still see the best in you now.

If you’ve got that one ride-or-die who stuck around through every version of you—this one’s for you.

🌸 Hello Mama: Remembering Our Mothers | Easy Bake Lovin’ Podcast – Episode 11

This one’s tender. We’re looking back on the women who raised us, cheered for us, scolded us, defended us… and still drop dimes from the other side. 💫💧

From the softest phone-cord hugs to tough-love contracts straight outta The Godfather, we’re telling the stories that made us who we are.

🛁 Bathtub dimes.

🟤 Breakdancing in leather.

🧴 Hawaiian Tropic memories.

🧵 And a long yellow phone cord that practically deserves its own tribute.

We’re digging deep into:

✔️ ✅ Sweet as syrup moms vs. Spicy as hell moms

☑️ 🟩 The ✨ signs ✨ they leave behind (and why it’s always a dime)

🟨 💔 The guilt that lingers—and the good we carry forward

🧠🟢 Personality blueprints: What we inherited (and what we edited)

🧤🟪 Protecting our love—especially from snakes on the mountain 🐍

If you’ve ever wondered what you’d say now… to the mom who shaped you then… this is your permission to feel it all.

💬 What would your mom think of the person you are today?

📌 Subscribe, share, and remember:

✨ keep it sweet 🍬, keep it spicy 🌶️… and always bake with love ❤️‍🔥

We’re breaking down:

✅ The real reason we binge this stuff before bed 😴

✅ The evolution of true crime—from fingerprints to pixels

✅ And all the dark, dumb tropes that just won’t die 🧟‍♂️
