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!

I was finally able to listen to the 300th episode today!! I’ve been listening since the beginning and it’s the highlight of my week (or highlight of my every six months in some of the early years)! Y’all are a joy and a blessing to so many, and I can’t thank you enough for sharing your humor, recommendations, college sports opinions, and stories!
Thank you for always making me laugh!

I love this podcast, congratulations on 300 episodes!!!
Congratulations on 15years
Happy 15th anniversary and congratulations on 300 episodes! I remember reading your blogs and seeing the audio recording posted before I had any idea what podcasts were. So glad I’ve gotten to listen to you over the years. Love the friendly banter, fashion advice, but most importantly all the SEC sports talk! Gig ‘Em Aggies!
Happy 300! I love your podcast!
I love the Big Boo Cast! Sophie and Melanie are my friends from the South (I live in the Northwest). They make me so happy!!!
Happy 300! I’ve enjoyed your conversations for at least 5 years. Ya’ll remind me so much of my college roommate and me. So it’s a joy to eavesdrop on your beautiful friendship once a week!
I love listening to y’all chat each week! Congratulations!!
Congratulations! I have been a follower since 2007. You and Melanie make my week!
Congratulations on 300 episodes! Your laughing-so-hard-you’re-silent KILLS me every time! Thanks for being so warm and genuine, even to us, your tens of internet friends! Love y’all!!
You and Melanie brighten my world with the podcast and your books. It’s so generous of you to share your lives and encourage us. I have so many products, clothes and shoes that I love because of your recommendations! Thank you for all you do! (I also love that we are Chi Omega sisters :-) !! )
Happy 300th episode/15th anniversary!
I look forward to the podcast every week. I just love it!
I had to laugh when, right after listening to you talk about what Alex might need for college and what you were packing for him, my older daughter, who is 26, told me that she was using an iron that I bought for her when she started college in 2014 for the first time just a couple of weeks ago. :)
Thank you for making me laugh every week!
Love you and Melanie so much! Your podcast is such a happy time every week!
Congrats on 300 episodes!! You two have brought me so much joy over the years. Love the podcast & hope you’ll continue it for many many more years <3
I’m an Arkansasan (sorry for all the ballgame anxiety…trust me, Razorbacks feel it, too!). I’ve listened to you for about seven years while dog walking and can frequently been seen stopping to cross my legs because I am about to wet my pants at all your hilarious conversations! It’s like a modern day Seinfeld for moms (or grand moms, as in my case). Congratulations on 15 years!
Sophie-you and Melanie have made me laugh for YEARS! From Travis joining in on the fun, to Hazel’s anxiety issues, to finding the perfect caftan, to your mama’s AMAZING apple cake recipe in your recipe book, to y’all’s fits of silent laughter, to sending Alex off to college at the same time I sent my baby off too…I love you both??
Oh my word. What a delight you both are. And congrats on the big 300, that is an accomplishment that deserves all the gold stars!
Congrats on 300 episodes!! You two bring me joy every week!
What a delight and bright spot in my life the Big Boo Cast is! Thanks for making me feel like I’m just sitting around with a couple of friends listening in on life. Congratulations on episode 300 and keep ‘em coming!
Congrats on 15 years and 300 episodes! I’ve been listening for about a year now and it’s my favorite. I’m working my way backwards through your old episodes and am currently listening to 2020 during the shutdown. Looking back it feels like what a weird time it was for all of us! Thanks for your genuine conversations and for being such good friends to me even though you don’t know me.
Happy 300 Episodes! I love how you don’t take yourselves too seriously and enjoy to hear about everything and nothing every week! Thanks for getting me through my pandemic walks and long days of parenting!
I love listening to the podcast! And I owe you some thanks! During football season, y’all keep me up to date on goings on and I’m able to sound knowledgeable when I make random comments to my husband that baffle and excite him at the same time! :)
I also live in Birmingham and Samford is my alma mater! I was so excited when I heard Alex will be going there. I think he will absolutely love it!!
I just love your laugh!
Congrats on 15 years & 300 episodes !!!
LOVE listening to y’all every week!
So very happy to be able to congratulate you and Melanie on 15 years and 300 episodes. Well done! I look forward to listening every week to catch up on what is going on in your lives. What would a week be like without hearing one of you say ” add to cart ” It makes me laugh every time. God bless you and may you have many more years and episodes of keeping us laughing.
Melanie and Sophie,
Well, I just wanted to say that I have appreciated you both over the many years that I have listened to your podcast. You have made me literally Laugh Out Loud! I have also learned some things, tried new recipes and beauty products, read some great books per your suggestions and even teared up a time or two. All that to say, your fun-loving, cheerful and honest personalities have shined through the podcast like a “big sister hug” which has helped me walk through some big life changes. Thanks Boo Mama and Big Mama, you ladies feel like sweet friends! XO
Thanks for making me laugh every week! Your podcast brings such joy and I love driving when I have episodes to listen to!

Happy 300th episode!!
Love you guys!
Congratulations on 300!
I think I found you about 10 years ago, like Jamie golden. I had never heard two women talk like y’all- Christian but not a Christian podcast and talked about anything. I was in the northeast and homesick for my girlfriends in NC. I’ve been a fan ever since! KADOOS TO YOU!
Thanks for all your hard work and perseverance while navigating all the behind the scenes tasks that go into producing a podcast! I’m so thankful for the sunshine you guys bring to my life!!
Congratulations on 15 years! I always look forward to your episodes and love them so much. I’m an ACC gal myself (Go Wolfpack!), but I love hearing y’all talk about what you’re passionate about, especially football. Here’s to 15 more years!
300 Episodes!! Woohoo!! I love your podcast and look forward to my hour with you and Melanie each week! Thank you!

Thanks for all the laughs over the years! Congrats!!
Congratulations on Episode 300 as well as celebrating your 15 year Anniversary! I dove in deep with you and Melanie about a year ago after reading “Giddy Up, Eunice”. I look forward to the podcast every week and I’m a Patreon subscriber as well. Like many of your listeners, my favorite part about the podcasts is how you both make we laugh….HARD!! And I have you both the thank for my new found interest in SEC football which also makes my husband happy. Thanks for all that you do!
Please enter me in the contest! I’m a fan for life! ????

Happy 15 year & 300 episode! I wish I had a dollar for every time I’ve started a sentance to my husband with “my southern podcast mom’s said…” because that’s how I refer to you (I’m from Cali). I also thank you for making me slightly more interested in College Football since it’s all that’s on in my house for a good 4 months a year!

300 episodes! What an accomplishment! I started listening about 4 years ago when I transitioned from teaching to being pregnant with my first and staying home to raise my littles. It’s so fun to listen each week and feel like I’ve got friends in the room with me. Can’t wait to see what’s in store next for you ladies!
