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 | @BKendallMD TikTok: @BBankheadMD | @BKendallMD YouTube: Coffee Walk MD Disclaimer: 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.
