The Big Boo Cast

On this week's episode Melanie and I delight in the fact that both of our college baseball teams swept their weekend games, we celebrate some of the memorable moments from the Winter Olympics (WE SEE YOU, ALYSA LIU), and we discuss our friend Cole's frustration that his wife Katherine and I aren't interested in rare collectibles.
We also have some very important information for those of you who want to make Helen reservations when you're in Birmingham for our live show, and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites.
Hope you enjoy!

This week Melanie and I happily discuss the beginning of COLLEGE BASEBALL SEASON (pretend we have a confetti cannon), which means we break down my trip to Starkville and all of the opening day merriment. Plus, Melanie recaps her weekend in San Antonio (and at the ranch) with Perry, Caroline, and two of C's friends. We've lived a lot of life in the last week, apparently.
We also talk about why I watched The Prince of Egypt this past Sunday afternoon, and it's my turn for Five Favorites.
Enjoy, everybody!

This week Melanie has some thoughts and feelings about A&M's parking situation at basketball games, I have (once again) fried some chicken, and both of us are delighted by the prospect of college baseball's opening weekend (as well as captivated by the winter Olympic games - where we have both become experts in a wide array of events thanks to several consecutive minutes of viewing). 
We also talk about Super Bowl commercials (GET THEE BEHIND US, Manscaped), what we've been reading, and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites.
Hope you enjoy!

On this week's episode I recount a very exciting Step Sing weekend in our family, Melanie shares a delicious new dip discovery, and we both try to make our peace with who we didn't know at the Grammys.
As always we deal with the low-level hum of a leaf blower (and a vacuum!), and it's my turn for Five Favorites.

On this week's podcast episode, in the midst of unusually cold temperatures in San Antonio and Birmingham, Melanie and I discuss recent NFL developments (not our regular wheelhouse), Indiana's national championship, and - what we've all been waiting for - an update from Melanie on the racoons next door. Hydrate, grab a snack, and settle in, everyone.
We also talk about Melanie's return to World War II books, David interrupts our recording not once but twice (the Hudsons were trying to get some business-y things handled), and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites.
Hope you enjoy!
