First up, Gabby Cornelio joins Brendan and Joel to talk about life with her son's feeding challenges and his own unique way of communicating—because let’s be real, words are so overrated anyway. She also wrote a bilingual book, My Brother Doesn’t Speak, but His Heart Does, proving that sometimes, siblings just get each other—no words necessary.

Then, we shift gears for a trip down memory lane with Charles Calhoun, Brendan’s partner-in-crime for 20 years through the Best Buddies program. Jen and Brendan grill Charles on their decades of friendship, the secrets to staying best buds, and whether Brendan was always this awesome (spoiler: probably).

Join us for an episode full of love, laughter, and proof that true connection goes way beyond words.
