  • The only podcast I NEVER MISS!

    I’ve been listening to this podcast since I was introduced to Sophie and Melanie’s books about 10 years ago.

    I pre-order every book they write, fly to their live shows when I’m not traveling for work, and am a Patreon subscriber. They are the best treat I give myself through the laughter and product suggestions they give each week. I absolutely love it- thanks y’all!

  • Never miss an episode

    I’ve listened to this podcast for years and I never miss an episode. I’m not an Aggie fan even though I’m from Texas (nor am I a longhorn), but I do enjoy the college football banter. It gives me discussion points to talk about with my teenager. And then all the other stuff is just fun. Someone said they are “wealthy white women” and I find that laughable. Yes, Melanie probably leans more conservative and Sophie more moderate, but this rarely, if ever, is conveyed on their podcast.

  • Privilege, MAGA, Friendship

    The two women share a robust friendship. They delight in one another. Be aware-These are wealthy, white, Christian women-content is a lot of “stuff” they buy and reflections on possessions. Melanie is a MAGA, Trump supporter and her comments and her social media posts reflects that.
