Between being jailed for marching for the legalization of marijuana and fathering current star singer Hayley Kiyoko (aka Lesbian Jesus), James Alcroft found his way onto the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and Jay Leno, put together a dynamic comedy team and received a heart and liver transplant. His conversation with Boomer and Jimmy Ahmahdoofous is definitely funnier than a heart attack.

Bill Cushing has held many an instrument in his days: a shovel for digging ditches, a weapon for service in theNavy, an ohmmeter for working as an electrician.

Imagine what it must be like to compete on the national level as an athlete. Imagine what would be like to compete on the national level as a wrestler. How about a female wrestler? A real Beauty AND a Beast, Keira Dafnis continues sharing a bit of her brief 17 years on planet earth as a wrestler and in thoughtful discussion about diversity, her own asexuality, and whether young people can be optimistic about the future.

"We cant' let ourselves think about what and who we are leaving behind or it will break us. My daily routine was in every sense life giving. And what will make me feel that way when I return to the States?"

Christine Herbert, Peace Corp volunteer and author of The Color of the Elephant, a book that recounts her African Peace Corp experience, answers this question and others in part 2 of her conversation with Boomer and Jimmy Ahmahdoofous.

Naked, afraid, and alone . . . well, she wasn't naked, but Christine Herbert did have some scary moments (poisonous snakes, floods) spending two years in the African nation of Zambia, thousands of miles away from friends, family, and even people of her race. No electricity in her mud hut was just one element of her experience that molded an unexpected transformation that challenged the way she understoond the world. She captures two years of wonder in her book "The Color of the Elephant" and shares the laughter, the mud, and the tears in her interview with Boomer and Jimmy Ahmahdoofuous.

Beware the worm! Has a worm ever sent someone to the ER? It sent Jake O'Donnell when he was performing the worm during a pub crawl in Madrid. Jake chronicles this story and other seminal moments of becoming a man in his book "Walk Like a Man(iac) and in part 2 of his conversation with Boomer.

Are you a fan of movies like the Hangover and Jackass series? How about David Sedaris or Dave Barry? If so, prepare to be a fan of Jake O'Donnell, author of Walk Like a Man(iac). Jake dares to bare his pre and post pubescent soul as he reflects upon the many "firsts" of his journey towards adulthood and beyond. He does this with great deprecating humor and detail, allowing us to laugh along with him about experiences most males (and most females) can identify: first kisses, first brushes with the law, first alcohol, first Mrs. Robinson. It's funny, it's awkward, it's real. O'Donnell shares some these seminal moments with Boomer and makes Jimmy Ahmahdoofus feel less uncomfortable about his own youthful transgressions.
