This is a special episode. Today we celebrate Valentine's Day with an intimate evening with the Nesbitts. Melissa Nesbitt makes her much-anticipated return to Ramble by the River, and she brought with her a Valentine's Day couples quiz, an old Highschool yearbook, and a bottle of wine. Jeff and Melissa take their time going through the couple's quiz and discussing the answers. The audience will enjoy a peek behind the curtain as Jeff is able to let down his guard and truly have a fun and relaxing time as the host. They have a lot of laughs, talk about a ton of important issues in the world today, and only brag about their kids a little bit. There is a lot of local shout outs in this episode, so if you hear us talk about you, say hi back!

Thank you to my wife Melissa, not only for being the guest this week, but for supporting me while I make this podcast week-after-week. In fact, as I type this, she is inside wrangling kids and keep everything in order, as she does.

Have a happy Valentine's Day everybody.
