Summary

This past week Melanie drove all over Texas with Caroline, I went to a family wedding, and we both managed to absorb way more college football content than medical professionals might advise. We talk about all of the above on this episode - as well as the fact that we're gearing up Thursday night's live show in San Antonio. October has proven to be quite a time.

There are also Side Eyes and I See Yous, of course, and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites.

Hope you enjoy!

And here we are low again to record the actual podcast episode. We did.

some things, but I am not going to have a 56 pound bag when I check in at the Delta counter in the morning. All right. Well, I appreciate this goal. We'll see how it goes. Consider it. I was going to say, consider on Tuesday to Saturday. I mean, that's a lot of days. It's a lot of days. So, but I believe in you. I believe that you can do it.

We're not going into the 80s at all this week. The mornings are really cool. Like I wake up this morning and I was cold. Wow. So I know, what is that life? So I don't have to have layers for San Antonio. I can go a little more straightforward. Yeah. So I'm just trying to keep that in mind. Yeah. San Antonio doesn't know that fall is a thing.
