    The Big Boo Cast, Episode 416

    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

    The Big Boo Cast, Episode 415

    Oh, how the college football turns have tabled. Melanie's Aggies traveled from the football mountaintop to the (temporary, we believe) valley this past weekend, so as you can imagine, she's still processing her emotions re: the loss. However, the good news is that this week marks the first installment of our annual holiday gift guide, and we're just as happy as we can be about that. Plus, we talk about our favorite fruity candy flavors, so basically we're changing the world one podcast episode at a time.

    The Big Boo Cast, Episode 414

    The Aggies are at the top of the SEC football standings, so naturally Melanie and I talk all about that on this episode - along with the state of her legs and feet after walking about 13,000 steps in her full-length cowboy boots. And in my neck of the woods, I cooked for Alex and his buddies this past Sunday night, so it's been BUTTER AHOY here in Birmingham. We also discuss reading ruts and how to maybe / hopefully / possibly snap out of them, and it's my turn for Five Favorites.

    The Big Boo Cast, Episode 413

    For the second year in a row, The Big Boo Bowl was the Aggies' time to shine, but there was still a fine time to be had in Starkville. So this week Melanie and I discuss my very brief interaction with Dan Mullen, my enduring affection for the 2014 Mississippi State Bulldogs, and why it's bad form to throw objects on the field during a football game. Hypothetically.  We also talk about the non-football parts of our weekends, and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites. As a shock to absolutely no one, my microphone appears to be dying a slow death, so hopefully our sound will be all better next week (she says, hopefully).  Enjoy, everybody! - Join Us on Patreon - Our Amazon Shop - Live Stream tickets for our Friday night Dallas show Show Notes: - The Big Boo Bowl - Georgia at Texas - the controversial call at the Georgia / Texas game - Ole Miss responds to claims of fake injuries - Sophie and Dan Mullen - Melanie and Jimbo Fisher - Little House on the Prairie on Amazon Prime - Mississippi State women's soccer #3 in the country - Round Top - Shrinking on AppleTV - The Miracle Club on Netflix - Aerie fleece super wide leg pants - gold dangle earrings - Adaline bracelet by Hudson Day - High Noon Market leather bags - maroon enamel heart on paperclip chain Sponsors: - Maya Chia - use code BOO15 for 15% off - Honeylove - use this link for 20% off - Lume - use code BIGBOO for 15% off - Thrive Market - use this link for 30% off your first order plus a $60 free gift
