About this episode

Melanie and Sophie discuss personal updates, including a loss in Melanie's family, sports news, and their favorite products.

It's been a sad week in the Shankle house - they had to say good-bye to their beloved Piper - so on this episode Melanie talks about how they're doing (and how Mabel is doing, too). Over here at the Hudson house, we've had a full week in very different ways, and I break down all of that (including my first-ever visit to a podiatrist, because glamour). We also discuss Melanie and P's night out at a Nate Bargatze show, the latest with the Aggies and the Bulldogs and college baseball, and it's my turn for Five Favorites. Hope you enjoy!
