Summary

On this week's episode we discuss Melanie's big, fun, eventful weekend in College Station and Round Top as well as my much more home-focused weekend (that is to say: kinda boring but delightful). Mel details all the charms of the Junk Gypsy Prom, and - well, I probably talk way too much about pizza dough and asparagus. 

We also (naturally) discuss the latest in college baseball, and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites.

Enjoy, everybody!

Hello everybody. This is Sophie and welcome to episode 487 of the Big Boo cast. On this episode,

0:23.9

Melanie and I are going to discuss my very boring weekend that I enjoyed so much. And we're

0:30.2

going to talk about her very exciting weekend that was chock full of activities. We would love for you

0:36.2

0:38.2

it's at patreon.com slash Big Boo. Our most recent episodes are a little two-part series that we did not

0:46.1

plan to do. It's really all about our 20-year history together. We talk about how we met,

0:53.3

how we got started writing, we talk about how the

0:55.7

podcast started, all that stuff. And then we also do a pretty decent overview, I think, of all the

1:03.4

people that we mentioned week after week on the podcast. It was a ton of fun. As always, our Amazon

1:10.1

shop is waiting on you if you would like to see some of the things that we love and love to use. That's at Amazon.com slash shop slash Big Boo. And finally, if you would like live stream tickets for our April 23rd live show, those tickets are on sale just for a little bit longer, so you can find a link for that in the show notes.

All right, y'all, thanks so much for being here, and here we go with episode 487.

1:39.3

Hey, everybody, this is Sophie. This is Big Mama. Hey, it's Melanie. It's Big Mama. We have been talking for one hour. We have. I texted you this morning. I said, do you want to start at 10.30? And you were like, great. It's now 1133. So it's 1133. But we didn't get to talk all weekend we didn't and and

2:03.4

maybe didn't talk that much at the end of last week we just had to catch up we just we

2:08.5

had to you know just make sure we were completely and fully all the way around caught up with yeah each other lives. It's just what happens. But I do think it's too, because we did talk for a long time last week, but it's when we recorded, y'all. We've done a two-part series on Patreon, which is all of the Big Boo lore. It's our history. It's how we met. It's how we started podcasting. But that took, I mean, we were on for the better part of three hours recording that last week. We were. We were. And we didn't even know. We were just going to do a little bit of it. And then we got going. And it just, it took off. And so I have, I've got that second episode of that is going up. I think I've got it set to post on Wednesday.

2:51.9

Okay.

2:52.3

So anyway, but yes, a whole two-part series.

2:56.1

But what we realized, and I don't think we verbalized it until we recorded that,

3:01.3

was that we, as of this year, we have known one another for 20 years.

3:04.9

We have 20 years.

3:06.4
