Well I've been to the beach, Melanie has conquered a seasonal closet clean-out, and the Mississippi State Bulldogs have won their first SEC game in two years. WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE. This week Melanie and I discuss all of these things along with our thoughts on Auburn's coaching news and my resolve to be a little more boundaried on social media in November.
We also discuss our Side Eyes / I See Yous, and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites.
Enjoy, everybody!

The Big Boo Cast, Episode 466
Well, it's the best of college football times for Melanie, the worst of college football times for me - and a straight-up soap opera for anyone keeping their eye on the coaching carousel. We talk about all of these things on this episode (Melanie Shankle is ON A HIGH, my friends), as well as our time together in San Antonio for the live show (and an aggressive amount of Mexican food).
We also follow up on The Great Tall Boots Quest of 2025, and it's my turn for Five Favorites.
Hope you enjoy!

The Big Boo Cast, Episode 465
This past week Melanie drove all over Texas with Caroline, I went to a family wedding, and we both managed to absorb way more college football content than medical professionals might advise. We talk about all of the above on this episode - as well as the fact that we're gearing up Thursday night's live show in San Antonio. October has proven to be quite a time.
There are also Side Eyes and I See Yous, of course, and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites.
Hope you enjoy!

The Big Boo Cast, Episode 464
This week - in a bit of a super-sized episode - our friend Cole Cubelic joins us for some mid-season college football discussion, and needless to say, it is a delight to hear him share about what we've learned and what we're still learning about teams at this point in the season. Plus, there are Side Eyes & I See Yous a-plenty after this most recent weekend of football shenanigans, and Melanie finally admits that in terms of her Aggies, she is actually invested in way more than just the snacks.
Mel and I also discuss my ongoing quest to wear tall boots, and it's my turn for Five Favorites.
Enjoy, y'all!

The Big Boo Cast, Episode 463
This year's Big Boo Bowl went to the Aggies (in an especially dominant second half, I would add), so this week Melanie and I discuss her time in College Station, which included our friend Cole visiting Honey and Big's house before the football game. I share what it was like to enjoy a college football Saturday from the comfort of a Delta flight, and Melanie offers her reaction to the new Taylor Swift album.
On top of that, we talk through an unexpected skin care emergency, and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites.
Hope you enjoy!
