The Big Boo Cast, Episode 518
College football persisted in its craziness this past weekend while I traipsed around NYC and Melanie enjoyed a relaxing weekend in San Antonio, so on this episode we discuss all of it: the games, my traveling, and Mel's elite-level nesting. We've watched some things, we've read some things, and, as far as D and me, we've seen an aggressive number of Broadway shows. Also, I share about my evening with World's Loudest Laugher at the Nederlander Theatre, and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites.Hope you enjoy!

College football is a game of mountains and valleys, and this week it just so happens that Melanie - thanks to Texas A&M - is walking through a bit of a valley. So for the first half hour-ish of this episode, Mel and I talk about the valley, we analyze it, we speculate on how there might be a way out of it, and we also manage to work in about 472 references to the Nick Saban documentary on ESPN. Coach Saban is a teacher, he is.We also recap our respective weekends, and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites.Enjoy, everybody!
