This week Melanie shares the details of her vampire facial (which is a sentence I never thought I would write). We also talk about our respective weekends, and I share what I feel is an exciting new career path that I've discovered.





I take on 2020Boo and 2020Woo (I'm not exactly sure how to type those) on this episode, and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites. 





Hope y'all enjoy!

This episode is a college baseball-palooza, what with my attempts to make peace with the Bulldogs' outcome at the regionals and Melanie's recap of her trip to watch the Aggies play the Longhorns (which ended up being an unexpected encounter with an array of tiny Jesuses). Plus, I have some feedback about the announcing side of college baseball and lots of thoughts about a quality at-bat.



We also discuss a show we have both loved - as well as my impromptu trip to a fast food restaurant after a doctor's appointment - and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites.

The Big Boo Cast, Episode 393

The Shankles have been in Montana, the Hudsons have been in Hoover (at the SEC baseball tournament), and on this episode that means that Melanie and I have a lot of catching up to do. There have been outdoor adventures, there have been NCAA grievances, and there is a whole lot of college baseball to look forward to as the regionals get cranked up this weekend.



Also, I have cooked some meals, so I talk about that - and it's my turn for Five Favorites.



Enjoy, everybody!

The Big Boo Cast, Episode 392

This week Melanie listens patiently as I lament the projected college baseball regionals, and I listen with my mouth hanging open as Melanie shares a specific request P had for this past Friday's trash pick-up (no doubt, however, that it was certainly on-brand). In addition to those things, we discuss our shoe organization and the new season of Bridgerton.



Of course there's a kitchen / house update, and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites.

The Big Boo Cast, Episode 391

Right before we recorded this episode, I experienced a significant overtalking situation (to be clear, I was the one who was talking too much), so Melanie and I break down that unfortunate series of events before we discuss her time in College Station, our latest college baseball woes, and the most recent kitchen developments (so close! we're getting so close to the end!). 



Plus, Melanie shares about a house she recently visited and loved, her new home furnishing goal, and it's my turn for Five Favorites.
