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!

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!

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.
