The Big Boo Cast

This week Melanie and I talk about how (and why) we love to pack for a trip; I share some observations about the Men's College World Series; and Melanie tells a sad-but-true tale involving a plumbing issue and a very unfortunate skunk. It feels like a lot has happened over the last week. 
We also discuss what we're enjoying about the World Cup, and it's my turn for Five Favorites. 
Enjoy, everybody!

This week Melanie and I discuss my trip to Athens, Georgia (it was the best of times, it was the worst of times) and the end of Mississippi State's 2026 baseball season. We also cover some related topics: how we feel about baseball fields that lack dirt and grass, my appeal to the University of Georgia to install some cup holders, my friend Tracey's idea for a new cheer for our Bulldogs, and the fact that I'm in a fight with the NCAA.
On top of all that, Melanie loops us in on life in San Antonio, and it's her turn for Five Favorites.
Hope you enjoy!

On this episode Melanie and I enjoy the company of the leaf-blower guy in her neighborhood (HE WAS REALLY OVERACHIEVING) as well as a car playing very loud music as we talk through our respective weekends at our alma maters and all the fun therein. We saw friends, we watched baseball, and Melanie and Gulley met the Aggies' basketball coach's mom. In short, we made ourselves some memories. 
We also discuss the Aggie fan we love to see at every single baseball game, and it's my turn for Five Favorites.
Hope you enjoy!

On this episode I talk through some of the most memorable parts of this past week in Hoover at the SEC Baseball Tournament, Melanie fills us in on what she's been up to in San Antonio, and we're both gearing up for what we hope will be very fun weekends for our respective teams as they each host an NCAA regional baseball tournament. 
Also, I have done some reading during Birmingham's (many) rainy days, we have a lot of thoughts about college baseball uniforms, and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites.
Hope y'all enjoy!

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!
