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!

How fun! It’s your anniversary but we get presents! I’ve enjoyed you guys so much! Thank you!
Congratulations on 300 episodes! Y’all are a joy in my week! Thank you!
Congrats on this milestone! I love listening every week. As a fellow enneagram 9, I have been pondering all the reasons why I resonate so much with you all. Where else can I get information about the best snacks and cozy sweaters? I just don’t know that the other enneagram types have as much appreciation for creature comforts like we do. Anyway, keep up the good work and you all are at the top of your games. I can’t wait to see what you all do next.
Congratulations on 15 years and 300 episodes!! What a time! Won’t He do it!
The Big Boo Cast has been my faithful companion for many miles driven on a work commute and walked in my neighborhood. Thank you for the reminders of the beauty in the mundane and what a gift friendship is.
Cheers to the next 15 years and 300 episodes, whichever comes first! :)
Congratulations Sophie and Melanie!! You guys are the highlight of my week and I can’t wait for Thursday mornings to listen (sometimes I even listen late Wednesday nights when I can’t sleep ??)! My sister, mom, and I like to discuss what you guys have been up to and it is always so relatable! We love you guys and are so happy for you both! Keep up the great work! ????
Congratulations! Thanks for sharing the fun!

I love your podcast so much. I have laughed, cried and felt so much joy with you two. I also have found so many great things from your 5 favorites. Somebody Feed Phil has been a show I turn to for comfort and a lift. Especially recently since I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I now love his new podcast, Naked Lunch. I have found new skincare products and even The Bible Recap podcast. With this, I have now read through the Bible for the first time! Thank you for your show. It brings me so much joy!
Love you guys and can’t wait for your podcast each week!

Happy Anniversary! I found you both through the Pioneer Woman and have been reading your blogs since 2009. While in Dubai in 2014 for my husband’s job I started listening to the podcast. I listened to every one. You both kept me company while I was in a strange country and knew no one. I always look forward to a new episode. Melanie, my daughter and I met you when you came to Virginia Beach. She was a newlywed and I bought a cope of Antelope for her and we totally enjoyed your talk and meeting you. Love you ladies!!
Happy 15th! I’m such a fan of your writing, your humor, and the friendship you and Melanie have for each other. Congratulations from one 9 to another on sticking with something longer than a week!
LOVE the podcast ladies!!!!! Cheers to 300 more!!

Congrats on 300 episodes and 15 yrs!! I started listening in your early days and have loved “listening” to your kids grow up and have learned so much about parenting and marriage from both of your lives. I’ve read your books and I’m just a big fan of you guys in all the ways. Thanks for bringing all the laughs and life perspectives to the podcast world for us. Cheers to another 300!
Congrats on your 300 episode!!

Happy August 25th! A day you will always remember (mostly because you’ll get great memories popping up every year)! I pray the rainy forecast brings clouds and a cool breeze and not so much rain to your move in day. When you have time to process and look back on all the love you’re shown, I hope it fills your bucket in a big way and keeps you going through the coming days. Thank you for doing this podcast for 15 years. You are a blessing to me!
I love love all the podcasts and praying that the rain holds off while you unload all the things into the dorm room and today is fun and sweet thanks for helping me through 2020 and 2021 i was a little late to the party started listening 5 years ago but so glad i found the podcasts it is a highlight even if I don’t completely understand all the football ????
Congratulations on 300 episodes! I enjoyed hearing the kids little voices!
You can’t possibly know what a DELIGHT this podcast is to me! Somehow you and Melanie manage to talk about the mundane and ordinary in a way that leaves me laughing out loud all.of.the.time. You two ladies are extraordinary, and you make my Thursdays a billion times better. Thank you for continuing to educate me on the things that really matter like spices and dorm room essentials.
Love,
Janet
Thank you both for sticking to your podcast long enough for me to find it and become a devoted listener! You guys and your podcasts are my favorite and the one I look forward to listening to while walking on Wednesdays!
Even my husband listens with me from time to time, and we laugh and relate to so much that’s happening in both your lives.
Here’s to many more episodes, laughs and sports’ shenanigans.
I look forward to this podcast (plus Patreon) every single time. You ladies make light of the importance of the podcast or poke fun at yourself for the sound quality or internet issues ???? but it truly does lighten my load every single week!! Congrats on 300 and 15 years!!
Thanks for the laughs and all the SEC football talk. You guys bring me joy – especially when I’m doing carpool in the afternoons!

BEST podcast ever! So glad I discovered you years ago, you’ve brought me so much laughter. And made me do some extra shopping! I always talk about my “friends” Melanie & Sophie and my kids make fun of me. But I truly think of you as my friends.
Congratulations on 15 years of excellence in podcasting! It’s been a real gift having you in my ears each week. I’ve learned so much and laughed a ton. Keep up the great work.
