This past week Melanie drove all over Texas with Caroline, I went to a family wedding, and we both managed to absorb way more college football content than medical professionals might advise. We talk about all of the above on this episode – as well as the fact that we’re gearing up Thursday night’s live show in San Antonio. October has proven to be quite a time.

There are also Side Eyes and I See Yous, of course, and it’s Melanie’s turn for Five Favorites.

Hope you enjoy!

This week – in a bit of a super-sized episode – our friend Cole Cubelic joins us for some mid-season college football discussion, and needless to say, it is a delight to hear him share about what we’ve learned and what we’re still learning about teams at this point in the season. Plus, there are Side Eyes & I See Yous a-plenty after this most recent weekend of football shenanigans, and Melanie finally admits that in terms of her Aggies, she is actually invested in way more than just the snacks.

Mel and I also discuss my ongoing quest to wear tall boots, and it’s my turn for Five Favorites.

This year’s Big Boo Bowl went to the Aggies (in an especially dominant second half, I would add), so this week Melanie and I discuss her time in College Station, which included our friend Cole visiting Honey and Big’s house before the football game. I share what it was like to enjoy a college football Saturday from the comfort of a Delta flight, and Melanie offers her reaction to the new Taylor Swift album.

On top of that, we talk through an unexpected skin care emergency, and it’s Melanie’s turn for Five Favorites.

It was almost-but-not-quite this past weekend for my Mississippi State Bulldogs, so this week Melanie and I discuss the sort-of-moral-victory along with other developments in a very exciting week five for college football. There are Side Eyes, there are I See Yous, and there is speculation about the State / A&M showdown coming up this Saturday at Kyle Field.

Also, I share about our current streaming service(s) situation, Melanie breaks down her exterior paint color selection process, and it’s my turn for Five Favorites.

On this week’s episode, Melanie and I have a lengthy discussion about college football (raise your hand if you’re surprised), including the big games for the Aggies and the Bulldogs later this week (don’t worry, Auburn fans – we do not neglect sharing our reactions to this past weekend’s unfortunate incident during your OU game). On top of that, we recap our beach trip and get a somewhat sad update about Melanie’s outdoor pillows situation.

We also talk about the final episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty season three, and it’s Melanie’s turn for Five Favorites.

It was quite a weekend for the Bulldogs and the Aggies, so on this episode (from the beach!) Melanie and I talk through our football thoughts and feelings, complete with Side Eyes and I See Yous. And in a development we didn’t expect, we got to watch the Emmys together this past Sunday night, so we break down some of that as well.

We also mourn the loss of our beloved Hazel – man, that has been a heartbreaker – and it’s my turn for Five Favorites.
