The Big Boo Cast, Episode 456

On this week’s episode Melanie and I recap our (very brief) time together in Nashville, we talk about all the reading I’ve done over the past week (it’s obnoxious, really), and we discuss a couple of takeaways from the most recent round of RushTok (all the balloons at the University of Arkansas really made an impression on us).

We also break down my first attempt at playing mahjong, and it’s my turn for Five Favorites.

Enjoy, y’all!
