Summary

This week Melanie has some words of encouragement and exhortation for the College Football Playoff committee, and I am still trying to make sense of the fact that the Mississippi State Bulldogs are going to an actual bowl game. To play post-season football. WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING.

Also, Melanie talks about some Christmas-themed shows that she has watched, I share all about my recent trip to New York, and it's my turn for Five Favorites.

Hope you enjoy!
