We recorded this episode later in the week than we usually do (Wednesday morning!) because Melanie was just in Birmingham. So we talk through her time here, we break down my battle with a rogue hair clip, and we recap our first trip together to Ladybird Taco.

It’s also Zach Bryan Week (we’ll explain why), and it’s Melanie’s turn for Five Favorites.

Hope you enjoy!

Now we’re not usually ones to jump into a scandal uninvited (okay – maybe that’s not entirely true), but this week Melanie and I do address the latest news related to The Blind Side and all of my very complicated feelings surrounding that movie (FOR THE RECORD, I still haven’t seen it). We also discuss moving Alex back to Samford, Caroline’s week at Impact, and all the reasons we’re starting to sense that college football is in the air again.

On top of that, we analyze our current issues with jeans, and it’s Melanie’s turn for Five Favorites.

Enjoy, everybody!

This week Melanie shares the latest with the Shankles, I share the latest with the Hudsons, and we both share our thoughts about / reactions to the new Johnny Manziel documentary on Netflix. Sometimes when you’re really ready football season, any football news at all is like a balm to the soul. Apparently that’s where we’re living.

We also talk about the latest with TikTok’s sorority recruitment coverage, and it’s my turn for Five Favorites.
