The Big Boo Cast, Episode 300

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!

    Did I cry when I heard Caroline and Alex’s little voices at the beginning of the episode? Sure did! ???????????? this podcast brings me so so much joy and has made me smile so much over the years. I remember YEARS ago, sitting in my car before work just crying laughing from y’all wheezing laughing. Thank you for being such a special part of my week. I get excited to hear what y’all have to say on Patreon and the regular episodes each time I get a “big boo” notification. And are we sure this isn’t like the 315th episode?! Surely y’all have lost at LEAST 15 episodes to technical difficulties ????

  90. Nan Donohoe says:

    Have loved the podcast for a while now. My husband and I are MS State grads and live in Starkville. He has finally learned why I ask him so many questions about A&M sports. For a while, he’d ask me why I cared so much about the Aggies. Now he knows it’s because my good friend, that I’ve never met-Melanie-cares and has taught me to care! I enjoy sharing Bulldog ups and down with my other friend Sophie! What I’m saying is, “Kadoos to y’all” for keeping it real and fun and funny!

  91. Lauren Davis says:

    I just can’t say how much this podcast brightens my life. I honestly feel like y’all are my friends and I even refer to y’all as my friends to my family. In which my 13 ur old son reminds me “Mom, you’ve never met them!” Anywho, I listen weekly but have also gone back to listen to
    your first ones. I have found myself saying “well done” and “ok” in my Big mama and Boo mama voice. So fun! Thanks for being you!
    Lauren

  92. Caroline Wathen says:

    Thank you for sharing your beautiful friendship each week! I feel like I’m sitting and having with my girlfriends. Y’all are the best!

  95. The Big Boo Cast is my kind of humor, and I can’t count the number of times I have told someone that I heard it about it on “my podcast”. You two are the best and are never allowed to quit this gig.

  96. I so enjoy how much you both love life!

  97. Ashley Gregory says:

    Love your podcast! It’s the highlight of my week! Thanks for the giveaways. ????????
