If anyone has been on the lookout for an episode that breaks down our most recent Birmingham live show along with our (magical!) time in Starkville, LOOK NO FURTHER. On this supersized episode, Melanie and I recap all of our Birmingham fun - including our post-show party at Gus Mayer on Friday - and one of the most memorable Mississippi State sports weekends OF MY LIFE.

We don't have Five Favorites on this episode, but we'll get back to our normal routine next week.

Enjoy, everybody!

On this week's episode, Melanie and I are gearing up for our Birmingham Live Show (so much planning for a couple of Enneagram 9s). We discuss the latest in college baseball for the Aggies and the Bulldogs, of course, along with my recent two-trips-to-Starkville-in-one-day, Melanie's packing preparations, and our Birmingham post-live show plans.

We also talk about a recent discovery that is really working for Mabel, and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites.

Hope you enjoy!

Well, it was the best of college baseball times for Melanie, the could-be-better of college baseball times for me, but thankfully it was happiness all the way around when we got to go to Nashville together last week. On this episode we talk about all of the above - plus our weekends, my time in Houston, and Melanie's quest for new towels.

We hope you'll enjoy a special appearance by an Alamo Heights lawn mower (I did my best to edit it out, but it was a force stronger than Garage Band), and it's my turn for Five Favorites.
