This week Melanie and I talk about our weekend travels / speaking events; I was in Laurel, Mississippi, and she was in College Station, which worked out really nicely for getting to spend some time with Caroline. Melanie also shares what will maybe be the Perry-est story you have ever heard, and I wax poetic about the Grammys.

As (almost) always, we discuss what we’ve been watching, and it’s my turn for Five Favorites.

Hope you enjoy!

We recorded this episode on Monday afternoon, not long after our Birmingham live show very unexpectedly sold out really quickly, and Melanie and I were so taken aback that we went into something akin to denial. Maybe that’s why I forgot to turn on my microphone when we recorded, and by the way, you’re welcome for that. AUDIO EXCELLENCE. OUR HALLMARK.

So all that to say, this week we talk about some things. And it’s Melanie’s turn for Five Favorites.

We sure do love y’all.

It’s a new year, and we’re delighted to kick off 2024 with this new episode. Melanie and I talk about the most recent college football games, our words for the year, and the fact that we’re going to see each other later this week. Plus I read a book that I absolutely loved, so you’ll hear all about that.
