    The Big Boo Cast, Episode 430
    2025/02/20
    It's Here Be Dragons week, and Melanie is gearing up to be out of town a lot while I am gearing up for quick trips to San Antonio and Auburn. On this episode we discuss A&M's new basketball uniforms, college baseball opening weekend, and our critical computer situations (true story: Melanie's headphones wouldn't connect while we recorded, and my microphone didn't, either, so this week's sound isn't great, Bob).

    We also talk about what we've been watching, and it's my turn for Five Favorites.

    Enjoy, everybody!

    This week Melanie and I dig into the dynamic between her and Caroline as far as wardrobe planning is concerned (it's a complex situation), and we talk through my recent discovery related to using mascara. We also discuss my Severance obsession, which is significant.

    On top of all that, Melanie has a new book out next week (!!!), and it's her turn for Five Favorites.

    Hope you enjoy!

    It's been a week full of cross-stitching and watching Samford Step Sing and catching up with friends since we last recorded, so Melanie and I talk through all of these things as well as how she might be able to deal with the handling of the chicken in a recipe I made over the weekend.

    We also discuss what Melanie's been reading and watching, and it's my turn for Five Favorites.

    Please do enjoy. :-)

    This week Melanie and I both have tried some new things: Mel has ventured into a new workout experience, and I have decided to pick (back) up a hobby I enjoyed back in high school and college. There's also a mouse update (in light of the Polar Vortex), and Mel shares a great recipe for a dinner party.

    Mel also has a new nighttime skincare ritual, and it's her turn for Five Favorites.

    Enjoy, everybody!

    Our dear friend (and most frequent podcast guest) Travis Cottrell is with us this week, and what a treat it was for Melanie and me to get to catch up with him. We talk about college football, NFL football, what we've been watching lately, and how we feel about looking up setlists before a concert.

    We also discuss 80's music (WHO AMONG US IS SURPRISED), and it's my turn for Five Favorites.

    On this week's episode Melanie and I talk about my snow days here in Birmingham, her playroom clean-out in San Antonio, and our thoughts about the upcoming national championship college football game. We also discuss a couple of epiphanies I experienced this past week (and, as a follow-up to our last episode, one of them is Wicked-related).

    As if that weren't enough, we have an exciting heating pad update / development, and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites.

    Clearly the Lord is up to something in 2025, because on this episode Melanie shares a tip for cooking with a rotisserie chicken, and I talk about seeing a movie that I had been resisting because of its rampant popularity (so sorry, I'm weird, still haven't seen Titanic, etc.). On top of that, we recap our exciting New Year's Eves ("exciting" is a relative term, but alas).

    We also get an exciting update on the health of Melanie's scalp, and it's my turn for Five Favorites.

    Hope you enjoy!

    It's our first regular episode of 2025, and we're off to a strong start with some inconvenient (though entertaining) challenges. The Aggies lost their bowl game, one of Mel's refrigerators has gone on to its eternal reward, and the Shankles have had some unexpected visitors in their laundry room. VIVA LA 2025!

    We also reflect on our words / phrases for 2024, discuss our words and phrases for the new year, and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites.
