Melanie and I are both gearing up for our Dallas Live Show this week, and that has meant 1) placing a lot of last-minute Amazon orders and 2) in my case, making a potentially unwise decision for a quick trip to Starkville to see some fall baseball. In addition to that, we catch up on some exciting new developments with Lucy and talk through a little of the latest news in college football.Also, we share our HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE SPECTACULAR, which we always love doing, and we'll pick up Five Favorites again next week.Enjoy, everybody!

College football persisted in its craziness this past weekend while I traipsed around NYC and Melanie enjoyed a relaxing weekend in San Antonio, so on this episode we discuss all of it: the games, my traveling, and Mel's elite-level nesting. We've watched some things, we've read some things, and, as far as D and me, we've seen an aggressive number of Broadway shows. Also, I share about my evening with World's Loudest Laugher at the Nederlander Theatre, and it's Melanie's 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!
