    The Big Boo Cast, Episode 501

    On this episode Melanie says that I am "one seat shy of a beanbag" because I do not follow our typical recording protocol. That is to say: I recorded this episode while sitting on my bed. NEVERTHELESS comma we cover so many topics where we were in need of a catch-up: my family time with Jackson's dog, Oakley; the latest in San Antonio; and our ongoing efforts to appreciate and understand the Summer House universe. We also discuss our plans for the 4th of July, and it's my turn for Five Favorites. Hope you enjoy! Join Us on Patreon  Our Amazon Shop  Big Boo Dallas (11/5) tickets - still a few left!

    The Big Boo Cast, Episode 500

    This is our 500th regular episode (technically we've recorded more than that because 1) we've done some special episodes and 2) we've recorded over 200 bonus episodes on Patreon - but you know we are never going to burden ourselves with any unnecessary math), and hopefully you'll be delighted to know that it's business as usual for this particular podcast milestone. Melanie has sprained her ankle, I've done a whole lot of cooking, and we've both watched all the college baseball (not to mention DCC) that we possibly can. Mel also shares about Caroline's trip to Brazil, and it's her turn for Five Favorites. Thanks so much for being here. We hope you enjoy!

    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!

    The Big Boo Cast, Episode 497

    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!
