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!

Happy 15th! My mom has been a faithful listener since 2007 and now she got my sister and I hooked too!
Love your pod so very much! Such a bright spot in my week. I’ve been listening since 2020 and am now listening to old episodes. I had to laugh because Melanie just commented that she would NOT be getting on board with the skinny jean trend…were you able to resist all these years?? HAHAHA!!
Celebrating you ladies with so much joy today!
Happy 300! I have listened to and looked forward to every episode. I have often wondered what intrigued me most, but I think it is just how real you both are. I loved watching your kiddos grow, as my youngest is also 18. It’s been a gift to my podcast feed to listen to you both!!!
Yay for episode # 300!!! I listen every week and look forward to my Thursday morning walks because I know you and Melanie will be keeping me company.
Congratulations on your 300th episode/15 year anniversary. I have enjoyed following along with your blogs and more recently the podcast for many years. I also have a 19 year old son, so I feel so much of your lives relates to the current stage that I am in and love listening to two old friends talk weekly. Listening to the podcast & patreon espisodes is a highlight of my week. Well done!!
So happy y’all made it to 300 episodes!!! Thank you for gracing us with your hilarious and thoughtful friendship over the years. Adore y’all!

Congratulations on 300 episodes! I don’t think I’ve even ever watched 300 episodes of a single TV show in my life so really you should win an Emmy or something.
Happy 300th! I have listened to every one and just love you all! Here’s to the next 15 years. “Kudues” to you, friends!!
This episode is so heartwarming. Your podcast has been a weekly — sometimes monthly, sometimes yearly — source of humor and heart for the past 10+ years for me. Love it! Thank you for all you give us.
Congrats on 300 episodes and 15 years. It’s a delight!
Congrats on 15 years!!! I have listened for almost all of those and watched Alex grow up. Your books and devos brought so much joy and laughter to my life. Can’t wait to continue listening for many more years!
Cheers to 15 years and 300 episodes! Love listening to you share your life with Melanie and with us.
I love the Big Boo Cast and I loved this episode Congrats on 15 years and 300 episodes to women who feel like old friends I’ve never met!
Congratulations to one of the podcast that I will not miss an episode! Listening to y’all laugh at each other is one of the best. I can’t tell you how many times at work people have thought I was crying because I was laughing so hard. Thank you for the laughs, it’s one of my favorite things!
Well done on 300 episodes! So much fun had and laughter provided – thank you!
Well, you girls have helped me to survive a pandemic. You have caused me to impulsively ADD TO CART waaaaaaaaayyyyy too many times for my husband’s comfort level. :) But, most of all you have helped me laugh in a time when I really needed to laugh. As a person who gets really mired in the serious, listening to you each week helps me think…”what are we watching? what are we eating? what are we doing? what plans are we making? what are we wearing?, and how are we going to spend our days investing our lives in the people closest to us?” Listening to y’all grounds me…plain & simple. And I’m really grateful!!! Blessings & joy! I thank God that you are raising “a cheerful voice” in the midst of it all.
Happy 15th anniversary and 300th episode!
Congratulations! Love listening to y’all talk about anything, nothing, and everything!
Congratulations on 15 years together! You two are my very favorite. Here’s to the next 15 (and more) years!!!
I found y’all’s podcast through the recommendation of another listener. After telling my husband how hilarious y’all are we realized that he and Melanie are friends from high school!! Such a small world!

That show opener was absolutely precious! Praying Alex’s launch into college life is an absolute blast! I know you’ll enjoy this sweet season as you have all the others. There’s just something so amazing about watching your child become an adult. Thanks for sharing and keeping us laughing, and up to date on college football and the latest beauty and fashion trends.

Congrats on 300! Happy podcast-iversary! Loved, loved the intro – I may have gotten a little teary. Big Boo Cast days are my favorite days!
I loved listening to this episode! Laughed and cried!
Congratulations on your 300th episode!
Nothing brings me more joy than to hear you go silent while laughing!! It cracks me up every time. I came to the podcast through following Melanie’s blog way back in the day. But, I have loved getting to know you and your family through this podcast journey. Although I’ve spent my entire adult life in Houston, all of my roots are in central Mississippi. My cousin played football for Mississippi State until he passed away from a football injury in fall 1991. It literally just now occurred to me that you may have heard of him. Anyway, thank you for your faithfulness in delivering this podcast every week. It is always a highlight for me.
Love the Big Boo cast!!!
I Listen from St. Louis and I am a fellow State graduate ????????
Congrats on such a successful podcast! I love listening to y’all!
THREE HUNDRED!! Congrats Melanie and Sophie! Thank you for being my favorite podcast every week! As a fellow enneagram 9 in the season of raising tiny humans, you make my week brighter.

I so enjoy your podcast. Every single Thursday my husband says “You listening to those ladies again.” Why yes ….. yes I am!! Thank you for bringing joy to our lives.
Congrats on #300!! I absolutely love listening to your podcast. Thank you for being such a bright spot in my week. You make me laugh, and probably spend more than I should on skincare products or at Trader Joes but I feel good about it. I hope you will keep going to 300 more! Sending you big hugs from Tennessee!
Congrats girls! Love the show!
