On Couch with Kelly & Clint

Kelly and Clint sit down with Ashley Bean Thorton, candidate for TX House Representative, House District 56. Today’s discussion centers around Ashley's main passion which is education (thank you!) and what she would also do with healthcare and immigration. Ashley is a Waco staple and would be an incredible representative for all of McLennan County. And the reason is because she cares, she’s though...

Kelly and Clint sit down and go through your questions, both positive and negative. The show has been so supported by all of you and this was a chance to go back and see what else everyone wanted to know or talk about! As candidly as they can, Kelly and Clint dig into your thoughts…and hope to do it again! So please keep the comments and especially the questions coming! Thanks for Watching! Please...

Kelly and Clint sit down and talk about the idea of being loyal, and specifically being loyal to a political party. Somewhere along the line loyalty became an excuse for those being loyal to be abused and mistreated by those they are being loyal to. We start by learning it in relationships, whether with friends or family or even professional. Years can go by and you realize you’re being loyal to s...

Kelly and Clint sit down and talk about the need to keep the conversations going. We can’t shut up. If we do…they win. It’s only for people refusing to stay quiet in the face of evil, corruption, and lies that we still have a shot at this thing called democracy. The easiest path would seemingly be to keep your mouth shut and hope it all passes over, and that as it does you won’t be bothered…but th...

Kelly and Clint sit down with Chelsey Hockett and talk about her current run to be a US Democratic Representative from TX D-05. Chelsey is wonderful, and Kelly and Clint loved sitting down, hearing her story, and learning more about someone who saw the problems in her community and bravely decided to do something about it. Chelsey’s story, her experience, her ability to dive in and figure things o...

Kelly and Clint sit down to talk about trans lives and how important they are, and how they personally are not available to be manipulated on this issue. Of all the issues facing this world, we would be much better off if we paid attention to the real and present dangers and concerns that are in our face daily, and not the ones fabricated to take our attention away from that which could actually h...

Kelly and Clint sit down and have a discussion inspired by the Maya Angelou quote, “when people show you who they are, believe them the first time.” This practice is one that needs to be adhered to now more than ever. As they open up about times they have not lived by this rule, Kelly and Clint discuss how doing that now in the “adulting” phase of life makes all the difference. This crazy time wil...

Kelly and Clint sit down to discuss all things women’s healthcare. A discussion largely inspired by the music festival Daisy Chain Fields which was created by singer/songwriter/actor Olivia Rodrigo to bring awareness to and raise money for all things women’s healthcare. A festival that in the end raised over twenty million dollars. Kelly and Clint have this discussion from the perspectives of two...

Kelly and Clint sit down on the couch to discuss what they think it means to "support the troops" after news breaks of local hero Doris Miller possibly having his name stripped off of a new aircraft carrier and possibly being replaced with the name of known military disparager, Donald Trump. This news has not only hit Waco hard but it has struck a nerve with the entire country. Kelly and Clint are...

Kelly and Clint sit down with Vikki Goodwin, current TX State Rep and Democratic Candidate for Texas Lieutenant Governor, for a bonus mini episode! After just wrapping up a round table discussion in a church basement with concerned citizens of Waco, Vikki's team said..."hey we love your podcast...could we shoot one real quick?" Easiest yes ever! So without our couch, pillows, or even our microphon...

Kelly and Clint sit down on the couch and discuss a common theme of growing up and in that growth reviewing systems that don't work like you either thought they did or want them to. We can't stick our heads in the sand and pretend like everything is working fine when it simply isn't. It may be fun at the time to ignore the world around you and all it's problems, but is that really ok? Nope. It's t...

Kelly and Clint sit down on the couch and dedicate this one to the teachers and those fighting for public schools. They find themselves, like millions of folks all over the country, headed back to school after the summer. So it only made sense to talk about all the ways the public school system has impacted them in their young lives and now with their own kids and community. Public schools all ove...

Kelly and Clint sit down on the couch and discuss the harsh realities of living in a world where how you vote actually does matter and who you align yourself with does actually effect relationships. It’s never easy to see a close friendship change drastically or to experience the deterioration of a family bond, but here we are. It’s 2026 and people all over the country, and the world for that matt...

In a recent Instagram post Sharon McMahon, ( ⁨@sharonsaysso⁩ ) aka America's Government Teacher, highlighted a study which showed that 48% of Gen Z stays away from church because of the church's support of Trump. Since Kelly and Clint's upbringing as young kids and young adults was largely in the church they of course had to talk about it! They're both grateful for those taking the big risk of ste...

Kelly and Clint were recently asked by a viewer what it was like to have gone from just moving to Waco and trying to start a small business to all of the sudden finding themselves on T.V., and on a show that kind of blew up!! In short...it was wild! The struggles relationally, professionally, and interpersonally were real. The beauty is that it's real for anyone in any industry or any stage of lif...

Kelly and Clint talk about Lindsey Graham's passing and why if you want people to talk well about you when you die...do well when you live. No more excuses for those hoping to live however they like on Earth even if they hurt people, and then expect everyone to say nice things when their gone. You really don't want anyone writing an o-bitch-uary now do you??? Thanks for jumping on the couch with u...

Kelly and Clint have a discussion sparked by the pictures from July 4th of white nationalists on a D.C. train and how it underlines the deep seeded racism the U.S. has yet to deal with. Sit down on the couch and buckle up as Kelly and Clint dig into this topic and their own childhoods growing up in the South. Make sure and follow them both on Instagram, @kellygharp and @clintharpofficial and on fa...

Kelly and Clint dive into immigration. There isn't a day that goes by where this issue touches their lives and, if we're honest, everyone's. This issue is of the utmost importance, and Kelly and Clint are in it for the long haul for their immigrant neighbors.` Make sure and follow them both on instagram, @kellygharp @clintharpofficial @oncouchwithkellyandclintharp and on fb @clintharp Executive Pr...

Ep. 2 What do you mean Republicans are good with money and Democrats aren't? And what do you mean it takes forever to get things done in the government? Anybody check on Mamdani in NYC lately? Kelly and Clint unpack some common things they were taught their whole lives because, well, maybe we should all be doing that right about now. Make sure and follow them both on Instagram, @kellygharp and @cl...
