Summary

The first big weekend of the 2025 college football season did not disappoint, and on this episode Melanie and I discuss some of our favorite parts (not to mention our Side Eyes and I See Yous). It didn't hurt that both the Aggies and the Bulldogs were victorious, though admittedly, those wins weren't necessarily pretty.

On top of that, Melanie offers an update on Caroline's new Costco membership, and it's my turn for Five Favorites.
