    The Big Boo Cast, Episode 449
    Jul 3 2025
    I'm on the Atlantic Ocean somewhere between Canada and Maine this week (Melanie opted out of the trip because of the aforementioned ocean), so we recorded this episode before I left Birmingham, and we asked our friend Cole Cubelic - who is one of our all-time favorite people - to join us. As some of you may remember, Melanie and I met Cole a couple of years ago after he saw us at an event where my hair clip was in a constant state of malfunction. Now he's like the little brother we didn't know we needed. So this week we catch up with him about life and his thoughts about this fall in the SEC and the real meanings behind phrases that coaches use over and over.

    We don't do Five Favorites this week, but I'll be back with five fresh favorites next week. :-)

    Enjoy, everybody!

    This week Melanie and I talk through our reactions to the College World Series (Razorbacks, we feel your pain, and Tigers, we congratulate you), we break down what's been going on in our respective lives over the past week, and we share some delight over all the good television that's been released since we last recorded.

    We also discuss the fact that Melanie ordered some chicken on the bone at a restaurant, and it's her turn for Five Favorites.

    Hope you enjoy!

    On this week's episode Melanie and I talk about the fact that Caroline is now home from her long European journey, I sampled the most delicious homemade pies, and why we shouldn't underestimate Gen Z's persistence in selecting the perfect nail polish colors. It's been an eventful week.

    We also have an unplanned - but lively! - discussion about AI, and it's my turn for Five Favorites.
