My Heart Knows You’re Safe. My Body Doesn’t.
My Heart Knows You’re Safe. My Body Doesn’t. Oct 13, 2026 3898 No guest this week. Just us, answering what came in. Alexa talks about the hardest season of our marriage, the year she spent praying over it, and how long it took before she saw anything change. Then she explains something neither of us had ever said out loud: that after a fight her heart and her mind know Carlos is safe, but her body puts a wall up and has to learn to trust him again. We get i

Gustavo Tells All: The Red Lobster Bonus, Robbing the Set & 8.8 Billion Plays (Ft. Stephen Kramer Glickman) Oct 8, 2026 4331 Stephen Kramer Glickman played Gustavo Rocque on Big Time Rush. During the pandemic he put a cover of "Crazy" on TikTok, it did 8.8 billion plays, it charted on Billboard above Kendrick Lamar, and almost nobody realized it was him. That's how he ended up on the reunion tour, after a phone call that came through while he was sitting in synagogue with his mom. Carlos has known Stephen longer than h

Lex & Los: Do Your Kids Respect You or Fear You?
Lex & Los: Do Your Kids Respect You or Fear You? Oct 1, 2026 4327 Neither of us parents that way now, and we're still figuring out what to do instead. Four kids in, we talk about how we were raised, the things we swore we'd never repeat and caught ourselves repeating anyway, giving our kids a real seat at the table, what we're feeding them, and the hardest two words in parenting. Plus the line that reframed it for us: there's a difference between a kid who's
Brian Pruett: Stop Trying to Be Liked
Brian Pruett: Stop Trying to Be Liked Sep 29, 2026 4588 Brian Pruett has spent his life in fitness, and he'll be the first to tell you it's temporary. Futile, even. It just opens doors. The former ballplayer and coach talks about what baseball taught him about chasing approval, how his wife Gigi found him because of the fame he was embarrassed by, and why broken isn't an identity. Then our producer Derek drops a reframe near the end that none of us

Why We Called It Joy Isn't Canceled Sep 24, 2026 3186 A bonus episode. We went live on Talk Shop Live to talk about our new book, Joy Isn't Canceled, and sign pre-order copies.

I Didn't Cheat. He Thought I Did Anyway
I Didn't Cheat. He Thought I Did Anyway Sep 24, 2026 3725 She didn't cheat. But for a few days on tour, Los was convinced he'd lost her. We talk about what Hollywood does to a marriage: months apart, kissing scenes, and a job where flirting comes with the territory. The season that hurt the most, the boundaries we set afterward, and why "I'm just a flirty person" isn't a free pass. Not only an actor problem. If you work closely with anyone who isn't your
My Body Was Trying to Tell Me Something (ft. Dr. Chris Motley)
My Body Was Trying to Tell Me Something (ft. Dr. Chris Motley) Sep 22, 2026 4289 Your body has been trying to tell you something. Dr. Chris Motley is the guy we text when ours won't stop talking. A self-described skeptic, Chris walks us through what stress does to the body, why sleep carries more weight than we think, and why paying attention to how God built us isn't New Age. A conversation, not medical advice. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday. Watch the full video on
The Crane Accident That Almost Killed Alexa
The Crane Accident That Almost Killed Alexa Sep 17, 2026 4213 We left part one on a cliffhanger, and this is where the story finally comes out straight. The crane accident has been part of Alexa's set of stories for as long as Carlos has known her, and somewhere in the retelling it picked up some flourishes. Thirteen years into this marriage, he gets the actual version, live, on mic. His reaction is the episode. From there it turns into the fun kind of hang
I Quit Big Time Rush 3 Times (ft. Kendall Schmidt)
I Quit Big Time Rush 3 Times (ft. Kendall Schmidt) Sep 15, 2026 6364 Carlos sits down with bandmate and brother-figure Kendall Schmidt while their kids play downstairs. They dig into wild origin lore: the BTR pilot that was shot line-for-line without Kendall, the 'there's no tape — you're the band' reveal, and Kendall crying the night he booked it because of the commitment. Kendall shares his childhood as one of three acting Schmidt brothers, including Steven Spiel
The Spy Kids Questions Alexa Has Never Answered
The Spy Kids Questions Alexa Has Never Answered Sep 15, 2026 2601 Carlos puts Alexa in the hot seat for a full Spy Kids interrogation, and she actually answers. This is the origin story fans have been asking about for twenty years: what it was really like growing up on those sets as a kid, the behind-the-scenes details that never made it into press, and the Spy Kids secrets she's been sitting on. Carlos brings a list of questions and does not let her off the hoo
We'd Have Broken Up If We Weren't Married
We'd Have Broken Up If We Weren't Married Sep 15, 2026 3874 Lex and Los open the podcast with the topic they get asked about most: marriage. They tell their origin story — meeting at a Bible study when both were at their lowest points (Alexa mid-divorce, Carlos smoking weed and reclusive), getting engaged fast, and marrying in three months when US Weekly offered to cover the wedding. They dig into hot-button convictions: merging finances completely, not li
