The football sun didn't shine on A&M this past weekend, so in this epsiode Melanie and I spend some time processing and working through the Aggies' loss to Appalachian State. We also talk about a few other upsets from this past weekend and offer some Side Eyes and I See Yous - all in an effort to distract Melanie from her pain, of course. David and I got to spend some time with Alex this past Friday night, so we break that down with some Serious Empty Nest Philosophizing (TM), and it's Mel's turn for Five Favorites.
