    The Big Boo Cast, Episode 464
    Oct 16 2025
    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!

    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!

    It was almost-but-not-quite this past weekend for my Mississippi State Bulldogs, so this week Melanie and I discuss the sort-of-moral-victory along with other developments in college football's very exciting week five. Naturally there are Side Eyes, there are I See Yous, and there is speculation about the State / A&M showdown coming up this Saturday at Kyle Field.

    Also, I share about our current streaming service(s) situation, Melanie breaks down her exterior paint color selection process, and it's my turn for Five Favorites.
