Leeann & Michelle Think They're Funny

So, we had a fight last week. Okay - not really a "fight" - more of a heated disagreement. That happens every so often. We didn't four years into this friendship/business partnership without a few dustups. In this episode, we're talking about how we deal with conflict. The enneagram 4 and 8 combo tends to be... ehrm... dramatic. ;) In this episode, we mention: Not Only, But Also Podcast Leeann's Offerpad commercial, but we can't find the link. Oops. We'll post when we finally hunt it down. Check out the video version of this episode on YouTube or audio wherever you listen to podcasts!

In this episode, we welcome our FIRST GUESTS. Now, we didn't want to start small. We wanted to go big... so our guests today are Mike Nawrocki and Steve Taylor. Both are legends in the entertainment world - Mike is a co-creator of VeggieTales and the voice of Larry The Cucumber. Steve is a musician and producer who's worked with The Newsboys and Sixpence None The Richer. If you loved VeggieTales LIKE WE DID (and our kids do), you're going to love what these guys are working on. The next great Biblically-based series for kids... The Dead Sea Squirrels. We discuss what that is, how they'll make it happen (how you can help!), and Leeann does an impromptu audition for a voiceover character on the series. DOES SHE SINK OR SAIL? Listen to find out! LEARN MORE ABOUT THE DEAD SEA SQUIRRELS GUEST BIOS: ABOUT MIKE NAWROCKI: As co-creator of VeggieTales and the voice of the beloved Larry The Cucumber, Mike Nawrocki has been making entertaining and wholesome content for kids since 1993. He created, wrote and directed most of the extremely popular “Silly Songs with Larry” segments, and lent his screenwriting and directing talents to VeggieTales episodes as well as their movies Jonah and The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything. Mike also developed and wrote for 3-2-1 Penguins! and authored a number of VeggieTales Books and CD projects. Mike serves as Assistant Professor of Film and Animation at Lipscomb University and co-hosts the weekly podcast, “The Bible for Kids.” ABOUT STEVE TAYLOR: Steve Taylor earned his “Renaissance Man” stripes (Prism Magazine) from a unique body of work as an artist and entrepreneur. As a recording artist he’s sold over one million albums and received two Grammy nominations. His resume as a music producer includes three gold-certified albums for the Newsboys and the platinum-certified Sixpence None The Richer, including their smash hit “Kiss Me.” Steve’s career as a filmmaker includes The Second Chance and Blue Like Jazz. He serves as Director of the School of Theater and Cinematic Arts at Lipscomb University. Check out the video version of this episode on YouTube or audio wherever you listen to podcasts!

Michelle's birthday is on 2/13 and SHE OLD. How does she feel about it? What, if any, plastic surgery will either of us do? Is there botulinum toxin in either of our faces? We're talking about all of that and more in this podcast episode. Plus, a fan asked us for advice on work/life balance and we go kinda deep on that. Enjoy and we hope you LOL! xoxo Check out the video version of this episode on YouTube or audio wherever you listen to podcasts!

Leeann is currently on set for a commercial! With her family... yes, all five of them booked it! Michelle just auditioned for a different commercial (fingers crossed!).

This is us, friends. IRL. PLUS... you will NOT BELIEVE who left us a review. Check out the video version of this episode on YouTube or audio wherever you listen to podcasts!

We're spilling a few secrets in this episode about exciting conversations we've had, contracts we've signed, and projects in the works. We also do something YOU SHOULD NEVER DO - try to predict the enneagram types of our kiddos. Check out the video version here - or click on the audio version above.

We were guests on the TYPOLOGY PODCAST. Did you hear that? We were on the TYP.OL.O.GY.POD.CAST. Check that out here: Like every other enneagram enthusiast, we've been huge fans of Ian Morgan Cron since we devoured The Road Back to You and it changed both of our lives. In fact, as you'll here in our podcast episode, Leeann & Michelle Think They Know SIR IAN MORGAN CRON - we actually refer to him as Sir Ian or Cool Uncle Ian. Yes, we've forced our way into his family. It's not creepy. Also, they're releasing our TYPOLOGY interview in two parts (yes, we fainted when we heard). We'll give you the Part 2 link as soon as it's live. Show Sponsor: Dearing Acting Studio

Finding out or delivery room surprise? In this episode, Michelle does her best to convince Leeann to not find out the sex of her next baby until baby arrives. That's what Michelle did with both of her kiddos, but Leeann has always found out beforehand. Can she be convinced? Michelle makes some fantastic points.

Leeann has a big surprise for Michelle in this episode... HUGE. She somehow managed to keep a secret, which is super hard when you know each other as well as we do. We can't say more than that... you just have to LISTEN. In this episode, we're also introducing a new segment, "Do you Even Enneagram?" so we can ramble on about one of our favorite topics. This episode is sponsored by Bambino Sitters! We love how easy Bambino makes it to find a babysitter.

Cleaning. We have to do it - whether we enjoy it (Leeann) or not (Michelle). In episode three, Leeann & Michelle Think They Know About Cleaning House, we basically let Leeann hop up on her (organic) soapbox to preach about minimalism and cleanliness while Michelle is here to tell you a story about when she got mad and threw all of her daughter's toys and clothes away. Clearly, we have vastly different approaches to the topic of cleanliness. What about you? Are you a Leeann or a Michelle in this area? Also, Tabitha & Trinitea stop by to break down the feed of one of Leeann & Michelle's Instagram followers. No, sweet @mackenziekoppa did not know they were coming for her and needs to work on cleaning up what she shares with the gram of insta. SPONSOR: Dearing Acting Studio

We like to say our friendship went from dating to engagement to marriage in record time... maybe four months? We fell hard and fast. (No, we're not actually married to each other. For some reason, that often disappoints people.) In Episode 2: Leeann & Michelle Think They Know Each Other, it's POP QUIZ time! How well do we know each other... do we know each other at all?
