About this episode
This past weekend Melanie and I got to experience watching college football together - we were in Texas with our friend Retha - and while we didn't get to see as many games as we normally do, we did behold the wonder of the best college football game in some time: Alabama vs. Tennessee. Naturally we talk about it - along with this week's smaller-than-usual collection of Side Eyes and I See Yous. We also recap our time in Brenham / College Station, along with a couple of books I've recently read and really enjoyed. Plus, it's my turn for Five Favorites.
