Melanie and I both went to games at our alma maters this past weekend (worked out better for Mel than it did for me despite the Aggies' questionable uniforms), so on this episode we talk about our times in College Station and Starkville - along with ... more

As a Gamecock girl, I feel your pain. I also believe PM has ruined Gameday and I refuse to watch. I miss Alyssa on the sideline or with the men desparately. Also miss Jordan Rogers. ESPN (SEC) has ruined Saturday for me.
This has become a 45-50 minute podcast with at least 10 of that being ads. It’s basically one big ad with a little pod thrown in, and ever-shrinking.
Also, nothing says “I’m a Christian and a Christian writer” like “this show I like has horrible language but that doesn’t really bother me.” (Actual quote from Sophie.) She also clearly has church hurt she doesn’t want to talk about…so stop vaguely referencing it because we are drawing conclusions that may not be true.

Long time listener here. Melanie, I’m begging you, get a handle on your crutch words. It used to mainly be Melanie saying “like” three times in every sentence. However, in the past year Melanie has added “I’m gonna tell you,” “Let me tell you,” “Listen.” Melanie, let me tell YOU… it’s a podcast and we are already listening.
I started listening to the Big Boo cast after hearing Sophie as a guest on another podcast. I have since read books by both her and Melanie. I find myself drawn to these ladies week after week, feeling like I am spending time with friends.
How did I just find this podcast? Just what I needed! Thank you Melanie and Sophie for keepin' it real!
