Episode 97: The Legend of Big Boy

Prompts: Nun, Rim, Olive, 411

We have some BREAKING NEWS...

Lauren bought a house! Congratulations to Lauren, Steve, and Isaac on their new home. We'll be sure to give you updates on the move and all the other hijinks!

This week's pod starts with the news of the house, Neal (kind of) sees Big Boy for the first time and is surprised everyone knows it's called Big Boy. If you don't know what we're talking about, you will when you listen. 

To start things off, Neal goes back to his childhood and first, tells a crazy story of a coach that he had in basketball and then talks about 1994's Above the Rim starring Duane Martin, Leon, Tupac Shakur, Marlon Wayans, and Bernie Mac. He talks about the origin of the movie and how its soundtrack practically eclipsed the movie itself. 

Then Lauren talks about the progression of the David sculpture from Rodin to Michelangelo and ultimately lands on the works of Gian Lorenzo Bernini. From his version of the David sculpture, to his controversial depiction of a nun in ecstasy (it was the power of God!) Lauren breaks down all things Bernini with so much left on the floor that perhaps a bonus is in our future!
