Episode notes

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. This is not medical advice. Only your doctor can provide medical advice. If you are having an emergency, dial 911.
