Well, it’s our 300th episode – and our 15th podcast-i-versary – and Melanie and I are thrilled about both of these things. WHO WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT. So, as you can imagine, we do a little reminiscing on this episode, but we also do a lot of talking about the here and now. That is because this is the week that Alex moves to college, and we have a lot to break down about that.
As always we recap our weekends, and it’s my turn for Five Favorites.
Hope y’all enjoy!

Congratulations! I have been reading your blogs and listening to your podcasts for years, since Alex was little! Big Boo Cast is my favorite. Thank you for sharing your life, and family, Ouida Wednesdays, and especially Martha. I just listened to the Patreon episode where you were trying to explain to her that we would hear the conversation when she kept telling you to tell us things. It tickled me to no end. My favorite part is when you are quiet because you are laughing so hard. I am so happy for you both on this wonderful achievement. Thanks for every episode. Y’all are the best.

Entering to win! Love your podcast
Congratulations on 300 episodes!!! Love you ladies!! ????
Congratulations to both of you – I found your podcast via this blog (and I don’t remember how I found the blog….) I’m guessing this was about 2017 or so…..anyway, I jumped in where you were, and simultaneously started at episode 1 and worked my way through until I was “caught up”. I have to say, whenever I think about your episodes, the one that springs to mind first features you telling about staying in a hotel that was also hosting a murder mystery event. I laughed until I cried……. Thank you for being a bright spot in my week!
Congrats on 15 years and 300 episodes! Y’all are my very favorites. I get so excited each week to listen!
Congrats on 300!
Congrats on 15 years! Love you both so much! Thanks for all the laughs!

Congratulations on 15 years and 300 episodes of super relatable conversations that enlighten, inspire, and encourage us each week!!!

“It’s been a DELIGHT!”
Thank y’all SO much for sharing your lives with us…For upping my skincare game, for making a Georgia Bulldog start rooting for Mississippi State and Texas A&M, for making me love Trader Joe’s even more and for giving me something to look forward to every week in my ears! Grateful to listen, to support and to follow on the IG!
Back in ye olden days I had to listen on the blog and if I accidentally got out of the page I had to get back in and try to find my spot. Now you’re on all the podcast sites. How the times have changed! Kaadoos to you!
Loved the recap of favorite moments!!! Listen to y’all while decorating cakes/cookies or while doing house work. Makes it go by so fast!!
Melanie and Sophie- y’all have changed my podcast desires… I NEVER listened to a podcast that wasn’t a suspenseful or true crime type podcast. I tried, but I just couldn’t listen to a podcast that wasn’t like that. My cousin told me about your podcast and now I am spreading the word about y’all to all of my friends. I LOVE listening to y’all and laughing along with you. Please keep doing what you do and know that you bring joy and fun to my dog walks and add to my Amazon orders (too often).
Congrats on 300 episodes and 15 years! Love your podcast! The two of you are so funny and relatable. I smile when both of your dogs bark at the most random things and the most random times. Makes me feel at home since that happens at our house too! Keep up the great work and look forward to each episode!
Cheers to 15 years and 300 episodes! Love listening to you ladies!
Just found your podcast and have been binging it like a great NetFlix series for the past week. Can’t wait to continue listening for the next 15 years. So curious as to how you and Melanie first got started together.
Listener from the beginning and blog reader too. Love your show!
Congratulations on 300! I love listening each week and I giggle every time you laugh so hard that you both go mute!
What a blessing y’all have been to me for the last 15 years! Kadoos to you!!
Congratulations on 300 episodes!! I appreciate you both so much & am so blessed to have found your podcast!
Congratulations!! Love this!!
Happy 15 years!

I have listened to EVERY episode. Love you guys!!
Y’all have brought me so much joy over the years – thanks for sticking with the podcast! :) (I am also an enneagram 9 so I get how much effort this has required from you!)
Congratulations on your 300th episode! Not only is listening to your podcast a delight, but it is very informative. I have read many of the books suggested by the two of you; I have watched many of the TV shows and movies that are recommended; and, I have purchased many of the Five Favorites for myself and my family (The Patrick Mahomes Home for the Holidays candle was a big hit with my son who went to Texas Tech). Thank you for being a bright spot in my week! As Tina Turner would say, “You’re Simply the Best!”
So stinking grateful for y’all! Congrats on 300!
Thank you for being a fun, bright spot in my weeks!
Congratulations Melanie and Sophie on 15 years and 300 episodes! The Big Boo podcast and patreon drops are my absolute favorite. Way to go from a fellow Enneagram 9!!
Love your podcast! You girls make me laugh and cry! Whenever anyone asks for podcast recommendations, yours is the one I think of first! Your easy, breezy conversation style makes me feel like we’re friends in real life! Because I now have a senior in high school, I have really enjoyed the last couple of years references to enjoying the process while adjusting to all the changes regarding kids leaving the nest! Thanks!
Y’all’s podcast has been my favorite since I first started listening many years ago. You’re the kind of friends I enjoy in real life! Your commentary is the perfect addition to my college football season and your beauty, skin care, and fashion information is always on point. Thanks for sharing your special kind of joy and friendship with all of us!
I love your podcast so much & have listened to them all, for years & years! Ya’ll remind me of my favorite southern Aunt, who I’m sure is looking down from Heaven laughing along with us! Congrats on 300, don’t ever stop, it’s a highlight every week to listen!
I am SUCH a fan!! Loved this episode! You all bring such a smile to my face and joy to my week!
Thank you for being one of the highlights of my week. Congrats on 15 years!!
Congratulations on 300 episodes and 15 years. I love listening and laughing with you all!
