Eppy 119: Great Quips

Laura is eager to chat about "coils and fillers" (or did she mean "filters"??) We don't really know what she was contemplating...when you are a Boomer, that can happen. 

So we move on. ..Jean jumps in to describe her haircut experience at Great Clips. 
Followed by Laura's incisive discussion of Venmo. 

Fun news: Laura and her OH bought a new giant pickup truck! Laura is excited about this, but even more intrigued by a special scooter!

Boomer life...when you buy a new TV and you have no idea how to get it to work. And it's Football Season! Gotta cheer on the Browns! And Ohio State!

According to Laura, "Demur" is a trending word. And with that, the sisters collapse with laughter and sign off!

Jean starts the podcast by asking Laura, "Anything strange or startling to report?" Laura quickly replies with the latest family calamities. "Hallelujah Anyways", we say!

And off we go...Jean shares a regretful moment at the "Nothing Bundt Cake" shop. Which leads Laura to reminisce about Cinnamon Pop Tarts. 

Important question for Laura's grandson, "Does he know the NEW Alphabet Song?" 
Yes, after hundreds of years of the original alphabet song, there is a new version!

The OK Boomers were blessed with a wonderful weekend- Laura and Jean are delighted to share it with you. The last weekend in July was part birthday celebration and part family reunion. The guys in the family golfed. The gals and kids splashed in the pool. We all feasted at a fabulous cookout at Laura's home- "The Farm". And the sunny weather was a special gift. 

Speaking of celebrations, Jean checked in with our Millennials to learn whether or not office birthdays are still celebrated. Do co-workers still bring a big box of yummy donuts to the break room? 

Laura reports on the techniques of eating corn on the cob. She mentions a small family calamity. And sadly, Laura missed a special festival in Chicago.

Warning! If you are a Millennial or younger, you may be shocked at just how weird Boomers can be. Laura and Jean recommend that you DO NOT listen to this episode while driving or operating heavy equipment.  

On with our “exciting” lives. Jean was summoned for jury duty, but did not have to serve. So with that new-found free time, she reorganized her Death Notebook.

Jean also voluntarily shared that she has a special talent involving Dvorak’s New World Symphony and her electric toothbrush.

Not to be outdone, Laura shared the perils of driving too slowly, a revealing calamity that her OH experienced, and the Gaga Game. And of course, there’s even more, so we encourage you to please listen to this “exciting” podcast episode.

Hi friends, we are half-way through 2024! We decided that our favorite podcast conversations so far were when we chatted about our fabulous reversible dresses and our big remodeling projects. 

 Remember our "Other Halves", a.k.a. "OH's"? Well, they each experienced some zany calamities and "oopsies". A mysterious gas tank, a runaway iPhone, a missing wallet...easy to laugh about now! But bothersome when it happens, right? And it's not just befuddled Boomers, even the millennials had some mishaps recently.

We are finally (finally!)realizing that life is full of calamities and problems- but we just say "Hallelujah Anyway!" and keep going! Jean's OH was the one who told us about the "Hallelujah Anyway!" approach- and it works! 

And cheers to our 86 year old friend Wanda for being a trendsetter!

Oh say can you see...just how much fun we are having this summer! July 4 is our beautiful national day of celebration! Laura shares her best holiday quiz ever!

Do you know how President Zachary Taylor died? And how about the big shakeup prior to the upcoming  2024 Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest???

But wait, there's more! Starting July 26, we will be mesmerized by The Games of the XXXIII Olympiad also known as The 2024 Summer Olympics or Paris 2024.

 OK Boomers- do you have trouble operating your smart tv, or is it just Boomer Jean? And finally, it started with a bunk bed with a slide. Now, what do you think our Laura is planning to do next this summer???

Drumroll for Dad’s Day!! Fire up the grill and get ready to celebrate Dad. Laura shares a favorite memory of our Dad. We reminisce about our classic TV dads.

Beep … Beep … Beep
Oh my! We just received an emergency broadcast. It appears there’s been another calamity- a Millennial calamity!

Is life too busy for you these days? Jean suggests that summer is the best time to slow down and do something special. Road trip, anyone? Or try a new challenge, like Laura’s daughter, who completed her Open Water Diver Certification.

Here’s to Father’s Day and the start of summer!We would love to hear from you on Twitter and Instagram: @OK_BoomerPod. Find out more at OKBoomerPod.com or any podcast app and YouTube. Check out SpeakUpTalkRadio.com- the perfect site for authors and podcasters!

We almost called this Eppy “The Key to Calamities.” But with a sunny summer on its way, we focused on fun.(However, we do have several non-Laura calamities to report.)

On Mother’s Day, we had fun with our Gemini dresses, which led us to orchestrate a pretty complicated surprise at the Mother’s Day buffet.

How about having fun at a Costco birthday party? It’s such a sweet story.

Boomer rumors? Dancing like it’s the 1980’s? Let’s all have fun!
