Carlsen & Chill

In this special 30th episode, Andrew and Courtney reflect on everything they have experienced through the podcast so far! Celebrate this milestone with us by laughing along with our goofy responses to 30 questions about what we have learned. This episode has the best ending yet, so be sure to listen to the end! Andrew was experiencing some major upset tummy, so editing this episode was a nightmare...

Andrew and Courtney talk about near-death experiences, fun community gatherings, and St. Patrick's Day memories. Courtney is feeling much better, and we are thankful for everyone's prayers! Make sure you take your vitamins, kids. Don't be so crabby, this episode is a good time!

Courtney and Andrew return in this long-overdue Valentine's Day episode where they talk about recent dates and shocking realizations. This episode was recorded a month ago, but Courtney got SUPER SICK AGAIN and life has just been super crazy lately. Sorry about that! She's alive! For now! Once we get over the coughs, we will be back to making more episodes!

Andrew and Courtney are stuck inside due to the huge winter storm, so they have a chance to finally catch up on the reason for the season! They talk about fostering, Christmas, and lots and lots of snow. We did record this episode a week and a half before posting, so apologies for that. Honestly, the bloopers were so funny I left most of them in. Enjoy!

Courtney and Andrew talk about their recent mission trip to Piedras Negras, Mexico! There's old friends, new friends, line dancing, Billy Ray Cyrus, green spaghetti, and so much more! Grab a bowl of nachos for yourself, and join us for a fiesta for your face!

Happy Thanksgiving! Andrew and Courtney talk about what's been going on since they last recorded. Highlights include Halloween, family visits, blacklight bonanzas, and sharing all of their fun Thanksgiving memories! Load up on leftovers and get ready for a feast for your ears to enjoy!

Andrew and Courtney have been busy traveling with friends and they are here to tell you all about it! We talk about our friend trip to Illinois, our church conference in Kentucky, and our recent date to watch the sunset over Goose Pond. Floyd's Knob is also mentioned. We also vent some of our beef with Taco Bell, pinball machines, and rare seeds dot com. We saved a lot of funny stuff for the bloop...

Sorry it took so long to get this episode posted, had some pretty busy weeks and got a little behind. Don't mind this recording being 3+ weeks ago and 2 months since we last uploaded. Anyways... Andrew and Courtney talk about their Florida vacation, Courtney's big garden, the Pinewood Derby, the BIG town FIRE, and more Holiday World adventures. We also make a VERY SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT (Around 39 m...

Andrew and Courtney talk about the scars that life has bestowed upon them. From knee scars, to hand scars, to a gruesome double homicide... Okay, not the murder part. There are moments of hurting, but also moments of healing. Also there's teleportation!? Are you for real? You won't believe your ears in this episode!

Courtney and Andrew talk extensively (in the longest episode to date) about the toys and events from their childhood in this very V.B.S. filled extravaganza! V.B.S. in this context references Vacation Bible Schools, Very Betty Spaghetti, and Vast Blooper Section. You can be sure Jesus will be mentioned, trauma will be revisited, and Marley WILL snore. Seriously, we had a lot of laughs in this one....

Andrew and Courtney talk about hobbies, lobbies, and more goings on. Andrew also talks about his favorite game of 2025 so far. Probably for longer then you want him to. We also talk about the things we enjoy doing in our spare time and the legacy we leave behind.

Courtney and Andrew talk about their recent trip to Holiday World, Comic Con, the Jesus Music Tour, and they even come up with their own trademark Christmas songs! Watch out Mariah Carey and Michael Bublé; these songs are going to be the next big hit this December! Or however early they start playing Christmas music these days. Either way, you better watch out, and you better not cry!

The long-awaited return of your two favorite hosts! Everyone is alive and well, we pinky promise! Andrew and Courtney talk about life and what has happened since you last heard them. And boy howdy there's a lot to discuss! (Also, Episode 17 was recorded and lost, so that's why we jumped to 18.)

Andrew and Courtney go on a journey to the pet clinic with Marley, the Boston terrier! They also talk about Toy Story, hurricane Milton, fall cookouts, gnats, and also play the newlywed game! How well do the Carlsen's REALLY know each other? There are a lot of laughs and a LOT of bloopers (listen to the end to hear all the goofs)!

Andrew and Courtney talk about the BIG move to the BIG city. It's more like a part 2 to the last episode. Getting to Indiana in one piece didn't come without a price. They also talk about Buc-cee's, fall festivals and about situations involving the number 2. SPOILER ALERT ... It's poopy. (If you don't like hearing poop stories you probably want to skip this one.)

Andrew and Courtney are in Indiana now! After many weeks of moving, they are back and better then ever. At least, that's what people are saying. They missed recording a lot of stuff so there is a lot to catch up on. If you are afraid of clowns, we apologize for the upsetting imagery.

Andrew and Courtney talk about a big life update. Sorry this took like 3 weeks to come out... We've been busy. The beans have left a really big stain on our carpet so we had to get that taken care of too. We talk Indiana vacation, Andrew's new job, and the big move!

Andrew and Courtney continue talking about spiritual gifts. The three gifts focused on in this episode are craftsmanship, discernment, and administration. They talk about Old Navy, Trader Joe's (still not sponsored), arts and crafts, and even reference One Direction. There is only one direction to heaven. (*SPOILER* It's through Jesus.) (P.S. The title will make sense, we promise.) (P.P.S. You're...

(TW: Stillbirth) Andrew and Courtney interview their first very special guest, Hollie! Well... Not Andrew. He had to work late and missed the discussion, but he's there for the beginning and the end. Courtney and Hollie talk about motherhood, sisterhood, overcoming loss and balancing life and faith. Andrew holds his breath for a really long time. Lots of bloopers if you listen to the end.

Andrew and Courtney made it to 10 episodes! The big ONE-OH! The main topic focuses on Spiritual Gifts. They talk about Amazon Prime Day finds, Courtney eats some surprise Crumble cookies, and Andrew gets quizzed on his Bible knowledge. FUN FACT: This episode was a nightmare to record. Marley farted 4 times and it stunk really bad. Also, there was a fly buzzing around us as well until Andrew 360-no...

Andrew and Courtney answer the question they are asked the most, and it gets real. Strap in folks, it's going to get serious in this episode.

Courtney and Andrew share the bucket lists they have created with each other for the first time, live on air. They also argue about riptide and call each other idiots. That's true love if I ever heard it. Sandra D would approve.

Andrew and Courtney talk about raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens, brown paper packages tied up with strings... They talk about a few of their favorite things.

Andrew and Courtney talk about their privacy being invaded and read some listener stories about their CRAZY neighbors!

In this episode, Courtney and Andrew talk about their testimonies, trials, tribulations, and tacos. Okay, maybe not tacos, but you get the idea.
