Summary

A couple of weeks ago Melanie and I realized that by the end of this year we would have recorded TWENTY TWO EPISODES of the podcast in 2017, and if you think that hasn't blown our minds just a little bit, then clearly you missed the part where it took us NINE WHOLE YEARS to record the previous 68. We realize that for actual podcasting professionals (or, you know, people who just take some time to plan) the 22 episode achievement might not be a big deal (or perhaps even mildly embarrassing because SLACKERS), but we prefer to channel Ramona Singer and say KUDOOZ TO US. Is this what victory feels like?

Anyway, on this episode we talk at length about our cooking-related ailments, our current viewing habits, our fascination with Meghan Markle, and our favorite moments from 2017. It was good times, y'all.

Enjoy, everbody!

Here's where you can get more info on the stuff / products / places we mention:

- Megaformer (Meghan Markle's favorite workout - allegedly)

- Meghan's and Kate's Christmas service ensembles

- The Crown on Netflix

- The Great British Baking Show (old seasons are on Netflix)

- Martha's vest

- Teddie Organics Rosehip Oil

- Hummingbird Farms Lavender Body Oil (and you can still get a great deal on the Big Boo Box or the Big Boo Too Box by using the promo code BIGBOO26 when you check out)

- Church of the Small Things by our very own Big Mama

- Meghan Trainor - "No"

- Washington Post subscription

- Travis Cottrell - "O Praise Him with Doxology" (the perfect way to wrap up the year)

0:00.0	Hey everybody, this is Sophie and welcome to episode 91 of The Big Big Cast.
0:23.6	This is our last episode of 2017 and the end of our 10th year of podcasting.
0:29.4	That even seems possible. This year has been a little bit of a record year for Melanie and me in terms of the number of episodes we've recorded and that is definitely a trend.
0:39.4	We hope to continue in 2018. We thank you all so so much for being patient with us and for listening.
0:47.4	In this episode, Melanie and I are going to talk about what we've watched over Christmas break, not to mention Melanie's ever growing knowledge of the royal family.
0:56.4	We're also going to talk about some of our favorite moments from this past year, which is so original.
1:01.4	Can you all even believe how original we are?
1:04.4	Before we get started though, I want to remind you how you can stay in touch with us on social media. If you are interested in that, you can follow us on Twitter.
1:13.4	Melanie is at Big Mama and um at Big Mama or on Instagram. Melanie is there at Melanie Shankle and um Big Mama 205.
1:21.4	Plus if you're on Facebook, well, we are too. And you can find us there at Facebook.com slash the Big Big Cast.
1:29.4	And as it has been since the dawn of time, you can find either one of us on our blogs. Melanie is the Big Mama blog.com and I'm at Big Mama dot net.
1:41.4	Alrighty, y'all. We sure are grateful that you're here and we hope you enjoy episode 91.
1:49.4	Okay. Okay. You ready? Yeah. Okay. Hey everybody. This is Big Mama. This is, well, I forgot how we start this thing. I don't even know.
2:00.4	It's only been two weeks. Do I say, Big Mama? I think this is Sophie. This is Big Mama. I think so. Okay. Okay. We'll try that again.
2:09.4	Alright. Hey everybody. This is Sophie. This is Big Mama. Hey, it's Melanie. It's big Mama. Melanie is watching a football game.
2:16.4	I am watching a football game right now. Currently the white forest demon. Dickens are fourth and goal. And they just scored. Yeah. So. Oh, no. Well, listen. I mean, what are you going to do?
2:29.4	So now it's 47 to 45 and what is the longest and highest scoring ballgame of the season? And how much time has left?
2:37.4	Like nine minutes in the fourth quarter. So plenty. I mean, there's really a time. I mean, there's pretty a time.
2:42.4	Yeah. So, but I feel like this ballgame to me, and listen, we're not going to talk about football the whole time, but this ballgame to me is pretty much like it's, it's a metaphor.
2:51.4	It's like we started the season with UCLA, which I felt like became a metaphor for the whole season. And we're ending with this ballgame, which feels like another metaphor for the entire season.
3:00.4	It is long. It is tedious. I have quit watching it times. I've walked away and discussed. I've gotten my hopes back up. I've gone through the seven stages of grief all in a six and a half hour period that this game has been going on.
3:15.4	But other than that, it's been really enjoyable.
