The Big Boo Cast

Earlier this week Melanie and I recorded with our friend Cole Cubelic for a Patreon episode - and then Cole's audio upload proceeded to get caught in an internet no-man's land for several days. This morning, though, we got news from our friends at Riverside.fm that they were able to recover Cole's audio, so I put together a quick bonus episode in the event that you're bored / traveling / curious about Cole's Thanksgiving (and football) favorites. Plus, much to our delight, Cole shares his thoughts on tomorrow's football game between the Texas A&M Fightin' Aggies and their arch rival, the Texas Longhorns.

Melanie and I spent our weekend in the loveliest village on the Plains, so this episode is chock-full-o-details about our time in Auburn, including our shenanigans with Caroline and Ella and the Aggies' unfortunate loss in four overtimes. FOUR OVERTIMES.  We also discuss all the fun we had in Birmingham, and it's my turn for Five Favorites.

This week Melanie and I talk about the latest with college football, the latest with what we're reading, and the latest with my very early Christmas decorating. We also discuss the fact that Melanie and Caroline are headed to Alabama this weekend so we can take a little road trip to the loveliest village on the plains.  On top of that, I share some of Hazel's most recent issues (the separation anxiety is real), and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites.

Melanie and I both have happy live show hangovers this week, so we break down all of our Dallas fun as well as some fantastic memories from not even 24 hours in College Station. We had time with our friends Beth and Ree, we had time with each other and our friends and family, and we saw some amazingly talented college students perform in Chi O Songfest. It was quite a time. We also wrap up our gift guide suggestions (see what I did there?!) this week, and we hope you enjoy!  - Join Us on Patreon - Our Amazon Shop Show Notes: - Crescent Court Hotel in Dallas - Mi Cocina in Dallas - Retha, our business manager - Beth Moore - tap shoes on Amazon (seriously) - wings in tap shoes - Ree Drummond - The Texas Theatre - Songfest at Texas A&M - digital copy of Songfest - Mia Maria - Spicy Hamburger Vegetable Soup - 2024 Big Boo Holiday Gift Guide Sponsors: - Storyworth - use this link to save $10 on your first purpose - Thrive Causemetics - use this link for 20% off your first order - Maya Chia - use code BOO15 at checkout for 15% off - AG1 - use this link for a free bottle of vitamin D3/K2 and five free travel packs
