    The Big Boo Cast, Episode 433
    Mar 13 2025
    This week Melanie and I discuss our texting needs from people who aren't Enneagram 9s (just FYI: "Ok" as a response means we're going to think we're in a fight), we recap our time in Birmingham and Nashville, and we discuss how happy she is to be back at home.

    Also, I share all about a little field trip I took to Montgomery this past weekend, and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites.

    Hope you enjoy!

    The Big Boo Cast, Episode 432
    Mar 6 2025
    What a week it has been! Melanie's book hit #5 on the New York Times bestseller list, I got a new HVAC unit (not as exciting, but still, significant), and Hazel has full-blown PTSD from all the people who have been in and out of our house. Life is a series of highs and lows, right? Anyway, this week we talk about all the Here Be Dragons fun, share our thoughts on some sports developments, and finally get some insight about why A&M serves Pepsi products.

    We also talk about my very active TV life, and it's my turn for Five Favorites.

    Enjoy, everybody!

    This past week Melanie's been to Austin and College Station, I've been to San Antonio and Auburn, and we've both gotten to spend time with our college kids. On this episode we recap all of the above, and we also discuss the fact that I have watched not just one but TWO movies over the last few days. The Lord is always doing a new thing.
