It's been a FULL and COMPLETE WEEK since Melanie and I last talked, so on this episode we catch up about college baseball, college softball, the weddings we attended over the weekend, and my introduction to a very different (and fun) (and physically exhausting) (but really so fun) side of book publishing.

We also discuss our new book club pick for Patreon, and it's my turn for Five Favorites.

Enjoy, everybody!

This week Melanie and I talk about my ongoing post-live show / post-graduation recovery efforts (so much sleeping) and how I accidentally created a challenge for myself when I went to a movie with Alex. We also discuss how we can either be birds or squirrels in this life, and lo, the nature continues to teach us.

Plus, Melanie shares her A&M baseball thoughts and concerns, we both offer some updates on what we've been watching and reading, and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites.

Hope you enjoy!

This past week has been graduation-palooza at the Hudson house, and as it turns out, there has also been an exciting development with the Shankle family. On this episode Melanie and I discuss all of the above, and also, we don't know if you're aware, but college baseball can be dumb.

We're back with Five Favorites again (it's my turn), and we share some graduation gift ideas, too.
