The Big Boo Cast, Episode 345

It's just a whole lot of real life on this week's episode - no mountains, no writing retreat, no "DAAAAAD!" So Melanie updates us on the Shankles, I update on the Hudsons, and then I talk at great length about season 2 of The Bear, which, for the record, has the worst language of any show I have ever watched but my goodness I love it so much. We also analyze options for a new TV show for Mel and share a quick Patreon catch-up. On top of all that, we discuss the pointlessness of 4th of July outfits, and it's Melanie's turn for Five Favorites.
