The Big Boo Cast

I will warn you that we talk about our dogs a whole lot on this one. We also talk about Melanie's far-reaching knowledge about back pain, Christy Nockels' upcoming worship concert, our nostalgia for the 70s, decorating for Christmas, college football, coaching searches, TV, and who knows what else.  Let me put it this way: when I texted Mel to tell her that the podcast ended up being over 50 minut...

Well, I can pretty much sum up this episode in two words: SEC football. Oh, we talk about a few other things - dresses, booties (THE SHOES), corduroys, our new books - but mostly we talk about SEC football. And the SEC coaches' wives show on SEC Network. And the most miniscule details contained within the coaches' wives show because apparently I am a little obsessed. Also, Melanie's t-shirt kept r...

Considering that this is our first podcast of the 2014 college football season, it's really no wonder that we spend a chunk of time talking about, well, college football. However, it might be a wonder that we manage to talk about anything else. Sure enough, though, we covered Melanie's bathroom remodel, the fact that I finally fnished my book, the latest developments with our eyelashes, the joys o...

Well, I know that I'm in the middle of a big ole bloggy break, but Melanie  and I have been wanting to record a podcast, and the day before our friend Annie's   new book comes out seemed like a fine and wonderful time. Here's the cover of Annie's book. I love it a lot. Annie and I have a delightful chat about 10 minutes into the podcast. Melanie was supposed to be part of that, but unfortunately w...

Well, the big news in this particular podcast is that Melanie thinks our dogs could possibly be related. It's a long shot - but it's a shot. We actually spend way too much time talking about our beloved little pups, and Hazel barks at random intervals to make her presence known.  Other than that, there's nothing new under the sun, really. We talk about TV and books and sunscreen and our hair. We a...

Well, I'd planned to get this podcast up last night, but State's baseball game with Georgia went to 10 innings, and by the time it was over (after 11pm, mind you), my nerves were far too frazzled to do any sort of editing and uploading and etc. I had to start a new book just to wind down and have any hope of falling asleep, and yes, I'm all too aware that I have some co-dependency issues when it c...

I just listened to this episode before I uploaded it, and doing that made me realize that Melanie  and I had a guest co-host this week that we failed to mention: THE POLLEN. Oh my goodness. I cough, Alex coughs, I sniff, Alex coughs, I take sip after sip of Crystal Light to try to soothe my throat, and then Alex coughs some more. So basically the whole podcast is like waiting with a child in the s...

Well, David walked in the room while I was editing this one, and after he listened for a few seconds, he said, "Saving the world - one podcast at a time."  I trust that you can detect his sarcasm. It's the same ole same ole this go 'round; we talk about sleep habits and shoes and TV and skirts and Gap and travel and all sorts of other riveting topics.  Shockingly, we do not talk about our hair, no...

We started this particular podcast with some unexpected technical issues, but somehow we managed to recover. I give all the credit to the Lord and the fancy new podcasting microphone that I got for Christmas.  (I'm not sure that there's anything that has ever cemented my FULL-ON NERD status like the fact that I am just as tickled as I can be that I got a new podcasting microphone for Christmas.) (...

Well, I would welcome you to our annual Christmas podcast - except I don't think Melanie and I have actually recorded a Christmas podcast in about five years. We are far too fond of flying by the seat of our collective pants to plan anything in advance, much less to commit to it on a yearly basis. We like to tell ourselves this is part of our charm, but it's actually probably a little annoying. Th...

As is our usual tendency, Melanie and I recorded this podcast without anything even remotely resembling a plan. We talked about all sorts of stuff, though: Thanksgiving, Christmas, college football, TV, beauty products, and Melanie's preoccupation with a youthful eyebrow. I had no idea that a youthful eyebrow was even a thing. Suffice it to say that I got me an eyebrow education. Also, I had my mi...

This time around we talk about rugs (seriously. rugs), old youth group skits, air travel, why we're at the mercy of dentists, teacher conferences, movies (and how Gravity seems to be a really big deal), pasta (and also cheese), our deep, heartfelt enthusiasm for Les Miles, and who knows what else. So, to sum up: we're all over the place. But what else is new?

I'm not gonna lie. We're not quite as high-energy in this one. Why, you wonder? Because we were tired. Melanie had a big weekend cheering for her Aggies, and I got way too invested in Sunday night's Miss America pageant - which left me a little on the drowsy side come Monday. Even still, we cover some of our favorite topics: college football, TV (specifically, why I did not enjoy Breaking Bad ), M...

Well, Melanie and I decided to record this podcast on a Tuesday afternoon whim, and as always, we had no plan, no rhyme,  no reason. We did, however, have some thoughts about Justin Timberlake, John Mayer's new album (Ben Rector's, too), the Ben Affleck-as-Batman brouhaha, why I liked Argo , college football, and Candy Crush. It's all very academic. SCHOLARLY, you might say.

Well, I'm afraid that we've hit an all-time podcasting low in terms of our topics. Because we discuss all manner of mundane matters. There's weather, feet, postpartum, the African dust storm (I had no idea this was even a thing), more weather, pajamas, college football - and that's not even the half of it. We even managed to work salads into the conversation. I'm not gonna lie. If you make it all...

Melanie's roof is being replaced in this particular podcast, but we didn't let it stop us. Well, we didn't let it stop us until it sounded like someone was about to fall through Melanie's ceiling. And at that point, we stopped. So it's a little short, but it's a random as ever. Enjoy, y'all!

Well, just like always, in this podcast we cover a vast array of disconnected and unrelated topics. But if you were looking for an organized, professional podcast experience, you probably wouldn't be listening to the two of us, now would you? Enjoy, y'all.

Well, here's our yearly podcast episode.  The topics, as always, are varied: college baseball, working out, shorts, phobias, skin care, and Taylor Swift. Though not necessarily in that order.

Well, well, well. Will wonders never cease? It's been one year (to the day) since our last podcast, but the stars aligned and the computers behaved and the connections stabilized and we actually recorded some new content. As always, we feature some very sophisticated topics: Miss Mississippi, the new Dallas , hermit crabs, dermatologist visits, expressions that get on our nerves,  The Bachelorette...

We recorded this one Tuesday morning. Right after I'd consumed two very strong cups of coffee. So I'm a little bit WOUND UP, and for that I do apologize. The good news is that this particular podcast is a total hodge podge of topics; we go from accents to The Bachelorette to politics to music videos to fashion to pageants and even more stuff that I can't remember. So all that to say: if you enjoy...

Oh, the rambling. It is epic. And so very ramble-y. Please do enjoy.

Melanie has a new modem. And we are BACK IN BUSINESS. As always, we hope that you enjoy all our rambling about nothing ( Bachelorette , Christian radio, Friday Night Lights , hypochondria, trying to teach our kids the value of a dollar, etc.). And please excuse the animal growls that will assault your ears out of nowhere about 30 minutes into the festivities. I was having a little editing issue, b...

Oh, listen. We have to be the most reliably unreliable podcasters ever. But we're in the process of working out some ongoing technical ISH-AHS, and it seemed like now was as good a time as ever to jump back on the podcast bandwagon. Who knows? Maybe we'll actually crank out two podcasts this year. It's good to have a goal.

Yeah. We know. It's our first podcast in a year.  But you'll be happy to know that the last year hasn't done a single thing to diminish our collective crazy. Or our rambling. You're welcome and the end.

We are oh-so-delighted to have our buddy Travis aka FryDaddy with us on episode 16 of the podcast (2 years, 16 podcasts - clearly we are very prolific). And basically what we have this time around is a run-down of reality shows (including why we've given up on The Real Housewives of New Jersey), an itemized list of our summer TV plans, a thorough analysis of our sleeping issues AND a whole lot of...
