Podcast

Well, college football is pretty much all wrapped up for Sophie this season, so this week we discuss that unfortunate development as well as the very positive turn of events for my Aggies. Plus, we discuss Sophie’s book launch week and all the reasons it basically has been an absolute delight.

On top of that, there are Side Eyes and I See Yous, and it’s Sophie’s turn for Five Favorites.

Hope y’all enjoy!

This week Sophie and I bring back our college football Side Eyes and I See Yous as well as recap my weekend with Caroline home and my weekend at a conference about the Enneagram and Spiritual Disciplines. On top of that, Sophie has a new book that’s out this week, so we talk about that despite the fact that it wasn’t on our episode outline.

We also discuss a couple of shows that have captured our attention, and it’s my turn for Five Favorites.

Enjoy, everybody!

This week I process my A&M / Notre Dame feelings (in addition to my game-time dehydration issues), and Sophie is ticked that her beloved Bulldogs are not, in her opinion, receiving the recognition that a lifetime member of the Southeastern Conference should receive. Mostly, though, we’re just delighted that college football is all the way back – and we continue to be curious about how Nick Saban is going to handle the whole Pat McAfee / GameDay situation.

We also celebrate the return of Sophie’s missing bracelets (it’s a long story), and it’s her turn for Five Favorites.

Sophie and I are coming in hot with this week’s episode, because our quick trip to Dallas meant that we had to record today (Wednesday) – which is also when the episode releases. Add in the fact that I had to record outside and Sophie was babysitting Hazel while window cleaners were working at their house, and you have a real audio masterpiece right here in episode 405.

We talk about our time in Dallas, our love for Shipt, Hazel’s arthritis – and it’s my turn for Five Favorites.

Enjoy, y’all!

Sophie and I were a little tired when we recorded this week, but all it took to create a little energy was a conversation about big trucks that carry limbs or maybe even gravel. We found our voices for sure and then managed to have discussions about what went on this past week as well as fashion trends for fall that leave us a little unsure.

We also talk about move-in for Alex’s junior year, and it’s Sophie’s turn for Five Favorites.

Hope you enjoy!

This week there was more than Sophie and I could fit into a single episode – and I’m sort of sick about it because I had a whole Amy Grant / Jamie Golden story that I didn’t have time to tell. NONETHELESS, we talk about an unfortunate series of events at the ranch, why Caroline is now Katniss Everdeen, and some of our favorite Olympic moments.

Sophie also shares a very nerdy sociological theory that she learned about last week, and it’s my turn for Five Favorites.

Enjoy, y’all!
