Show Notes

On this episode Melanie and I enjoy the company of the leaf-blower guy in her neighborhood (HE WAS REALLY OVERACHIEVING) as well as a car playing very loud music as we talk through our respective weekends at our alma maters and all the fun therein. We saw friends, we watched baseball, and Melanie and Gulley met the Aggies' basketball coach's mom. In short, we made ourselves some memories. We also discuss the Aggie fan we love to see at every single baseball game, and it's my turn for Five Favorites. Hope you enjoy!

This past weekend in college football was absolutely crazytown bananapants, so naturally Melanie and I discuss all of those developments as well as MSU's injury situation (it's not great, Bob). I talk about my long weekend in Asheville, North Carolina (I saw the dining room of Melanie's Gilded Age dreams), and Mel updates us on the latest in San Antonio. As an added bonus, Jackson has been in Birmingham for a visit, and it's my turn for Five Favorites. Hope you enjoy!

College football is a game of mountains and valleys, and this week it just so happens that Melanie - thanks to Texas A&M - is walking through a bit of a valley. So for the first half hour-ish of this episode, Mel and I talk about the valley, we analyze it, we speculate on how there might be a way out of it, and we also manage to work in about 472 references to the Nick Saban documentary on ESPN. Coach Saban is a teacher, he is. We also recap our respective weekends, and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites. Enjoy, everybody!

Melanie and I both went to games at our alma maters this past weekend (worked out better for Mel than it did for me despite the Aggies' questionable uniforms), so on this episode we talk about our times in College Station and Starkville - along with other college football developments from this past week - and throw in a couple of Side Eyes and I See Yous as well. We also discuss our latest TV show finds, and it's my turn for Five Favorites. Hope you enjoy!

Melanie and I have a gracious plenty of college football news to discuss this week, so we break down all the latest developments with the Aggies and the Bulldogs as well as sharing our latest round of Side Eyes and I See Yous. On top of that, Melanie tells us all about a wedding shower for Gulley's older son, and I talk about my weekend at a wedding in MIssissippi. As always, there's Five Favorites (it's Melanie's turn), and we hope you enjoy this episode!

Melanie and I know all too well that college football can be frustrating at times, and we're talking about that this week as Mel reflects on A&M's loss to Kentucky. We break down a few other games as well, and I continue to marvel at what's happening (so far) (could turn on a dime) with my beloved Bulldogs. As usual, side eyes and I see yous abound. We also discuss why video content creation probably isn't my calling, we talk about Melanie's quick trip to Houston, and it's my turn for Five Favorites. Hope you enjoy!
