Summary

What do Whitney Houston and alien overlords have in common? This podcast! This week, we are diving deep into important topics from the Laugh Line: how to make new friends in your 40s, keeping marriage steady when life gets messy, and the latest wellness hacks we may—or may not—regret trying (Looking at you to give me feedback on neurofeedback!)

Also, Penn and I venture into some pop culture in our "You Heard It Here First… Except for the Fact That by the Time You’re Hearing This, the Event Is Over" segment. (Spoiler: Penn geeks out over the 3I/ATLAS.) It’s equal parts science, silliness, and soul-searching, sprinkled with Presidential Fitness trauma, a sincere apology to Dr. Scholl's, and jamming out to Whitney Houston. Basically, just a Tuesday at our house... 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.
