On this week's episode, Melanie and I have a lengthy discussion about college football (raise your hand if you're surprised), including the big games for the Aggies and the Bulldogs later this week (don't worry, Auburn fans - we do not neglect sharing our reactions to this past weekend's unfortunate incident during your OU game). On top of that, we recap our beach trip and get a somewhat sad update about Melanie's outdoor pillows situation.

We also talk about the final episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty season three, and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites.

Hope you enjoy!
