How long can leftovers sit in the fridge before they become a health hazard? Are decorative pillows a waste of money? And is my husband trying to steal my Christmas joy? These are the hard-hitting issues that Penn and I have been arguing about for YEARS. And today, we're finally putting them up for debate.

With election season in full swing and debates happening everywhere, we decided it was time to settle some of our own household disagreements. So this week we brought in our very brave producer, Sam, to moderate in true debate form. These are VERY important issues where neither of us is willing to budge. Like how long leftovers can stay in the fridge before they become a science experiment. Or whether cabinet doors are actually necessary. (Yes, Penn has thoughts on this.)

We also take a trip down memory lane to revisit the wildly inappropriate club bangers we used to dance to without a second thought. Plus, we talk about finding common ground with people who see the world differently and why a little healthy disagreement might actually be good for all of us.

Now we need YOU to help us decide who won the debate. Let us know! We love to hear from you! Leave us a message at 323-364-3929 or write the show at podcast@theholdernessfamily.com. You can also watch our podcast on YouTube.

Remember when we got terrible perms, passed notes in class, and had to survive our awkward teenage years without beauty filters? (I swear kids these days don't have awkward phases and it shows.) This week on the podcast, Penn and I talk about why our kids are craving our culture and we kick off a series we are calling "Gen X Check In" with someone who defined our childhoods. Our first guest? Danica McKellar! Yes, Winnie Cooper from The Wonder Years is joins us this week to talk about how she went from America's sweetheart to an actual mathematician. (Meanwhile, I was crying over 7th grade math.) She also opens up about her childhood crush, what it's really like filming Christmas movies in 100-degree heat, and a fun story from working with Dolly Parton.

Penn also celebrates his 52nd birthday with some very age-appropriate rocket ship balloons, we share photographic evidence of how awkward we once were, and we compare notes on what our second careers would be. (I am still amazed that Danica has had two very successful and very different careers...) Who should we check in with next? Tell us! We love to hear from you! Leave us a message at 323-364-3929 or write the show at podcast@theholdernessfamily.com. You can also watch our podcast on YouTube.

After 11 days across the country powered by gummy bears, Penn and I are back from our "Get It Done & Have Fun" book tour. (Don't worry Nashville, we will see you soon!) We had every intention of recording a normal podcast, but after so many days on the road we thought we'd take to the bed and bring you along for the shenanigans.

We have so many stories to share, including Penn's unfortunate underwear situation, how I turn into a powered-down robot, and how we may be more co-dependent than we realized after failing our airport divorce. We're also sharing some really special moments from visiting schools, teaching kids about ADHD, and meeting so many of you along the way.

We also learn how many "years old" we are in a Seventeen magazine style quiz along with Sam and Ann Marie (apparently saying "these used to be farms and fields" is a sign of aging) and we take some of your calls from the Laugh Line. We hope you enjoy this episode of pillow talk. Should we do it again? We love to hear from you! Leave us a message at 323-364-3929 or write the show at podcast@theholdernessfamily.com.
