    Marriage, Miscommunication & the Elf on the Shelf Meltdown

    In this week’s episode of Coffee Walk MD, Brian and Brittany dive into one of the most chaotic and relatable conversations yet. From reheating the same latte three times, to forgetting to move the Elf on the Shelf (and dealing with the fallout), this episode is a hilarious look at marriage, communication, and the tiny daily moments that can make or break a morning. They cover: • What’s On Their Minds: The annual Elf-on-the-Shelf fatigue, mom-rage pajama drama, and why reheating coffee is basically a parenting sport. • Current Events: A wildly unpredictable shift from military headlines to Bethenny Frankel launching a new dating app — because this is how their marriage conversations actually go. • Surprise Topic: “Who Does It Better: Christmas Gifts?” where Brittany reveals her secret gift-giving formula that might as well be a masterclass. • Dreams: Their mountain-lake-house fantasy takes a hit, and they unpack what it means to navigate setbacks together as a couple. • Would You Rather: Family trips vs. international travel — and the guilt, reality, and emotional honesty behind both choices. This episode is real, funny, chaotic in the best way, and a perfect snapshot of how they keep their relationship strong through honest conversation. 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube Follow along: Instagram: @BBankheadMD | @BKendallMDTikTok: @BBankheadMD | @BKendallMDYouTube: Coffee Walk MDDisclaimer: Any medical information discussed is just that — information.

    Let The Insults Fly!

    Coffee Walk MD is your CURE for boring conversation! Take the topics we discuss into your own conversations at home and watch what happens! In this week's episode we discuss: What's On Your Mind?: Brittany’s got rom-coms on the brain— and Brian quickly proves he doesn’t know any of them. Brian talks about Halloween and how he can't believe that somehow they have become "Halloween people". Fun Game: See how many insults you hear Brittany say during this segment and comment below how many you count! Current Events: Brian and Brittany unpack the passing of Diane Keaton and how women are still treated differently than men — even in death. They talk about how the media’s chase for clicks shapes every headline, with Brian pulling in historian Jill Lepore’s These Truths for perspective. The Dreams segment gets real — Brian talks about wanting more slow moments with their kids, while Brittany shares what drives her vision for Modern Mom Lab and helping moms design lives that actually work. And in Behind the Curtain, Brittany opens up about being the child of two doctors, and Brian shares how their family once relied on Medicaid during a tough medical stretch — and why he hopes the current government shutdown helps people keep their coverage instead of losing it. 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube Follow along: Instagram: @BBankheadMD | @BKendallMDTikTok: @BBankheadMD | @BKendallMDYouTube: Coffee Walk MDDisclaimer: Any medical information discussed is just that — information.

    Rose, Bud, Thorn

    This week’s Coffee Walk MD takes a fun turn as we invite our very first special guest — our son, Knox Kendall — to join us! Before that, we kick things off with What’s On Your Mind, where Brian talks about his latest read, Under Alien Skies: A Sightseer’s Guide to the Universe by Philip Plait, and how it reframes our view of outer space. Brittany dives into the topic of discipline and habits, reflecting on how small, intentional routines can create big changes over time — even when motivation fades. In Current Events, Brittany brings the energy with some college football talk, while Brian drops a surprising fact that catches her off guard — that narwhals actually exist (yes, they’re real!). We wrap up by introducing one of our favorite family traditions, Rose, Bud, Thorn — a simple but meaningful ritual where we each share something good, something we’re looking forward to, and something that’s been a challenge. Knox joins in to give his own take, making for one of our favorite Coffee Walks yet. Grab your coffee and take a walk with us as we cure boring conversation— this one’s equal parts laughs, learning, and love. Any medical information discussed is just that — information.
