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!

Love listening to you two ladies!! Such a nice break from the daily rush and busyness. Plus I have a senior in high school and have really enjoyed hearing your experiences with your kids heading to college.

Congrats on your success! Thanks for your kind words of wisdom and the many laughs you bring every week!
You don’t know this, but I refer to you to my husband as my blogging-football-ladies! I feel like you two have legit cred. when it comes to college football, but also informing me of all the skincare and make-up, and also gifts for teens- we are the same age, so I feel like I am sitting with my friends, when I sit with the two of you and our shared experiences! Thanks for being awesome!
Happy 300th episode! Y’all are my favorites!

Thanks for being moments of normal in a crazy world!
Such a delight to listen to your podcast each week. Congrats on 15 years and 300 episodes. Kudos to you!
Hi!!! Been listening since the beginning! Love you both!
I have listened to every single episode, and this one was the best! My 12 and 9yr old have listened to your voices since they were babies in carseats, refer to y’all as “my friends that laugh,” and just cackle when you “silent laugh.” It reminds me of hearing my late mama talk to her friends…a true gift. We are indebted to Retha for making y’all do more episodes!
A few years ago during the beginning of the pandemic, I ran across your podcast. Loved listening to you both. Even went back and listened to old podcasts. It probably kept me from getting depressed during that time. I laughed sometimes to tears, I cried with joy as I remembered when I went thru similar experiences. Thank you! I have now read most of your books too. Please keep up the good work. You are a blessing to my soul.
I love your podcast! You two just cheer me up as I get ready in the morning to do whatever I am going to do. And your 5 favorites…….never stop them!!
Thank you for sharing your lives with us! This podcast is one of the highlights of my weeks! Congratulations on the list fun milestone! ????
Congratulations! Love the podcast and you both!
I love y’all and can’t wait to see you in Oct in Brenham! I’m bringing my people!
The absolute best podcast out there- Makes me so happy to put my headphones in and listen. No matter what is going on in my life, you always make me laugh when listening. Congrats on 300 and please don’t stop!!
Love, love this podcast. My absolute favorite. I never miss one and listen while I’m painting, every week! ??
Congratulations on 300 episodes and 15 years! Looking forward to lots more!
Enneagram 9s unite! I’m a mid-30s working mama and always feel a little better after listening to the two of you. Thank you for putting the “9-ness” aside and becoming more regular with the podcast. Congrats on 300 episodes!
Love listening to y’all! Congratulations on 300 episodes!
The best part of my Thursday is listening to your podcast!
Congratulations on 15 years!!
Oh my word! I just LOVE y’all! Congrats on your 300th episode and your 15th podiversary! Y’all were really ahead of the curve! Thanks for bringing joy to me in every single episode. And I just have to say, I love that y’all mentioned how you often laugh so hard it’s silent. Every time that happens, I stop for a second and think, “oops, did I accidentally just hit pause??” Ha! Sophie, I love your heart for Jesus and I LOVE your silent laugh!! And thank you for making all the techy stuff so easy by attaching it all in the show notes!! xo
Congrats on 15 years – love every episode!
Congratulations on 300 and 15 years. I love listening every week!
Congrats on 15 years and 300 episodes! I really want y’all to call and conference me in on these calls sometime! :-)
Soph… may I call you Soph? ???? I’ve been listening to the podcast for 6 years. A friend told me about you guys soon after I had my firstborn and I look forward to your podcast every week! Happy 300th! Won’t he do it!
I have bought so many things that I never knew I needed because of you two! Y’all always make day! Go Hogs!
Congrats!! I enjoy listening and laughing with you both every week, it’s like hanging out with old friends.
My favorite girlfriends that I don’t really know!
Congratulations! Your podcast is always a highlight in my week. Thankful for you both.
Love what you guys do! Such a bright spot every week!!
Congratulations on 300 episodes!
Both my grown daughters & I have been fans of your podcast for a long time! We love to listen & and then ask each other “have you listened to the last eat podcast?”
Keep up the great, entertaining work!
Congratulations on 300! I love love love listening !
Way to persevere to #300! As a fellow 9, I’m so proud of you two ????????????
Congratulations! You 2 are a bright spot in my day.
Can’t wait for the next 300! Or 3…how many ever y’all end up doing ??????????
Laughed so hard listening to this. It’s the highlight of my week and I’ve been known to ‘save them up’ so I can binge several episodes at once. Thanks ladies for all the laughs and recommendations!
I always look forward to your podcast every week! You guys are so much fun to listen to!
Happy Anniversary! Love listening to you two. You crack me up every week! Looking forward to 15 more years.
Congratulations to my favorite podcasters. Looking forward to the next 300 episodes.
My podcast subscriptions consist of sermons and the big boo cast…every now and again my husband will ask me what I’m listening to on a Thursday morning and I say…two ladies who bring me a ton of joy!
Love you ladies!
Y’all’s podcast is the ONLY podcast for which I have listened to EVERY episode! In the spirit of three favorite moments/podcasts, here are three of mine, in no particular order:
*Sophie: ADD TO CART!
*All of the slang phrases that you pick up from Alex and Caroline and incorporate into your everyday speech. I am only 58, but I work with and am involved with “younger” folks in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. You help keep my vocabulary on trend!
*Your additional podcasts during the Covid shutdown helped keep many of us sane!
*OK, four: Melanie’s stories about the summer road trips she and Gulley took with Caroline, Jackson, and Will.
PS: Amazon thanks you for all of the items I have purchased at from y’alls suggestions!
You all are the highlight of my week! Thank you for not being polished and for being you! I so appreciate you both!
I think i echo everyone else’s comments – but congrats on 300 episodes and 15 years!! I look forward to your podcast each week and even though I don’t really have any opinions on college football I adore listening to you 2 and all of your thoughts and opinions :)
I love your podcast! You all have been making me laugh since 2015! (And when I discovered you, I did go back and listen from the beginning. I was awfully confused who “Fry Daddy” was and why you sometimes only had one podcast in a year, but I’ve caught on and it made it easier to catch up!) Congratulations on 300 episodes and 15 years!
Congrats on 300! Love listening to you ladies! You keep me laughing!
Congratulations on 300 episodes ????????????
Love your podcast????
I’m not sure if I’ve been listening since the very beginning but definitely since before 2011 because I remember listening to y’all driving home from college. Thanks for being my favorite podcast and congratulations on 300 episodes and 15 years!
Congratulations, ladies! I’ve loved your podcast for years and look forward to it every week!
Congrats, y’all!! Love, love the pod.
Congratulations on your 300th episode! I have been with you two for about the past 4 years and have loved and looked forward to every episode! I found myself watching Feed Phil just weeks before you had him on.. I agree he was just precious! I also started reading Marjorie Post the week before you all announced her book for your book club! I feel like I know you and Melanie like close friends! Here’s to 300 more!! PS- Please plan a live show in Alabama soon!
Happy 300th! So enjoy listening to you two every week. As a southern gal who has lived on the west coast for over 20 years, listening to your podcast is like visiting with old friends from home. You’re both such a delight!
Congratulations on your 300th episode and 15 years!! Love, love your podcast and always can’t wait for the next one to come out! They make me so happy!!
Congratulations on 300 episodes and 15 years! I LOVE, LOVE listening to you girls and always can’t wait for the next episode to come out. They make me SO happy!!
Is it because we are about the same age? Probably. Regardless, you two are a gift to me. I just love hearing you catch up each week.
Congrats!!!! You all both are so fun to listen to!
Congratulations on 300 episodes! Job well done! The Big Boo Cast is my very favorite podcast! I look forward to it every week!
Happy 300th!
I have been listening for a long long time. Not sure how long I’ve listened or even how I found you all. I love that it’s now a regular weekly podcast! I’ve read every book that you and Melanie have written. I just really enjoy both of you. Looking forward to all the fun conversations coming about SEC football! Thank you both for making me “add to cart” often!
Try to enjoy your empty nest! It’s definitely an adjustment but my children were so happy and having such fun that it was hard for me to be too sad!
Congrats on your 300th episode! You guys keep me laughing every week, and buying all the things!
From a fellow (to Alex) Samford bulldog- Happy big 1-5 AND 300!!! You fun ladies are a bright spot in my week and have been for years! Thank you for your authenticity all these years!
Love listening to you guys – you make my Thursday walk so fun.
I love y’all’s podcast so much! Happy 300th!
Congratulations!! Love everything you and Melanie create!!
Congrats on 15 years/300 episodes!
Thank you for making me laugh on my morning walks!
Kudos for #300. Your podcast has been one of my greatest escapes every week!
Bringing back the blog comments- I love it! I am currently in the season of life where a trip to the grocery store alone feels like a vacation, and when I go while listening to your podcast, it feels like a vacation with girlfriends. Thank you both for letting us into your lives so that we can root for and cheer for your people alongside our own. Happy 300 episodes!
So thankful for what you have both done with the Podcast! My family now knows you as my “friends” because it feels like being a friend when you bring us into your conversations! Blessings on the next 300!!
Congrats! I love the podcast!!
Congratulations on your 300th podcast! I enjoy listening to you!

Congratulations on 300 great episodes and 15 years of fun and laughs! You and Melanie have been with me through every high and low over much of my adult life, and I can’t thank you enough. You two are just the best!
Hooray! Congrats on 300 episodes!! I’m a native Texan living in Alabama and a big college football fan (war eagle), so listening to y’all talk just feels like home. Cheers to 15 years!
I absolutely love this show! It’s like hanging out with your best friends????
YAY for 300 Episodes! Your podcast is always so enjoyable. Thanks for sharing your friendship with us. Sophie & Melanie, you are a delight!
