Summary

This week Melanie and I ponder the reality of technically being old enough to be grandmothers (we know it's a wonderful thing, but we're just not there yet) - which really makes Melanie's tale of her recent wedge-adjacent injury all the more timely (and perhaps painful). We also discuss some of the highlights of last week's SEC Media Days as well as the delight that is the new Billy Joel documentary.

On top of all of that, it's my turn for Five Favorites.

Enjoy, everybody!
