- Eppy 145: Monday Morning Quarterbacking – Marriage Style (00:20:41)
This week on OK Boomer Podcast, we're swapping football fields for wedding aisles! Laura takes us on a ride through the winding Ohio country roads to Mohican State Park, where her daughter's gorgeous woodland wedding took place. Think rustic chapel, perfect weather, a totally-in-love Bride and Groom, a beautiful wedding party including 5 flower girls, and even the family dogs making an entrance. Of course, no game—or wedding—goes without a few fumbles: Laura forgot to stand for the bride, her dress staged a minor rebellion, and her eyelashes had a mind of their own. But in true "Monday Morning Quarterbacking" style, we laugh about it all and celebrate the joy of the day—especially the campfire s'mores and the next-morning coffee truck we wish would park in our town permanently! Plus, we gear up for football and basketball season (Go Bucks! Go Cavs!) and settle once and for all what's actually legal versus "illegal." Follow us and join the fun!

- Eppy 144: Boomer Brains (00:20:39)
Goodbye summer, hello September! In this episode of OK Boomer, we're packing away the ferry rides to Put-in-Bay and pulling out the fall sweaters (and reminding everyone —it's also a great time to get back to church). Laura shares the joy of a new Baby Dedication in her family, and a heartwarming picture of palm trees whose roots tangle together so they can stand strong in storms.Meanwhile, Jean wrestles with a fitted sheet (thank goodness for YouTube tutorials), and we both discover that Boomers aren't the only ones struggling—there's a hilarious new Gen Z travel hack called "Red Dogging a Flight."And yes, memory lapses are real—so pass the Prevagen and join us for laughter, stories, and a few brainy reminders that we're all in this aging thing together. Tune in, Boomers —you'll forget your worries (but don't forget your name.) And everyone else- pray for us!Follow us and join the fun!

- Eppy 143: Push-ups and Pull-ups (00:20:36)
Eppy 143: Push-ups and Pull-upsBoomers, let's get moving! 💪 In this week's episode, we attempt the unthinkable: 50 push-ups and 50 pull-ups in 10 minutes. Spoiler alert—it would take us that long just to do one pull-up. But hey, shuffleboard? We're gold medal contenders! 🏅Laura's dream life is back in action, and this time the President and Vice President themselves are on the line. What could they possibly want from her? (Spoiler: national duty calls.)Meanwhile, back-to-school season is here, and the "feral Covid babies" are headed to class. From Minecraft backpacks to Stanley thermoses to Crocs with charms—what's hot in the hallways this year?

- Eppy 142: Our State Fair is a Great State Fair (00:20:41)
Eppy 142: Our State Fair is a Great State FairDid we shut the garage door?! It's the universal Boomer (and Millennial!) panic moment—halfway down the street, we're convinced the garage is wide open. Cue the dramatic "drive of shame" back home! In this episode, we laugh about the quirks and worries we all share, from garage door paranoia to the things Boomers value that no one else seems to care about anymore—like balancing a checkbook or buying a timeshare. Then we head to happier places—county fairs! Ohio has 88 counties, which means 88 excuses for funnel cakes, corn dogs, and people-watching galore. Plus, the State Fair is in full swing, and we've got some sweet (and slightly fried) memories to share. Grab your favorite fair food and tune in for laughs, nostalgia, and the comforting reminder that some things—like funnel cakes—never go out of style. Follow us and join the fun!

Have you seen The Gen Z Stare? It's that blank, expressionless gaze that has us wondering—Covid fallout, or just a new vibe? Either way, we Boomers will keep smiling at you! And guess what? Boomers are big into video games! Well... not these two Boomers. But 50% of our generation is gaming a lot—plus 36% of the Silent Generation! Who knew?Of course, we circle back to what we know best: casseroles. Our pick? A cheesy, crowd-pleasing Meatball Parmesan Casserole, perfect for your next church potluck.We also ask—are podcasters the new news anchors?And, hey, watch out for the Kiss Cam!Follow us and join the fun!

Then, naturally, we shift to pickles.Yes, pickles. The crunchy, tangy stars of today's show. We talk pickleball (with a neighborly PSA about not starting games at 6 a.m.), ponder when this pickle craze began, and taste-test some trendy treats: dill pickle popcorn, bagged pickle salad, and even air-fried cheese-wrapped pickles.Bonus tips: pickles might help with muscle cramps and gut health!And there's more: vegan brownies, tooth extractions (Laura's), and our undying love for honey-baked ham.Follow us and join the fun!

And now we've learned that even our beloved Longaberger baskets are a hard pass.😢 What's next—our commemorative plates?? Meanwhile, in cold and rainy Beautiful Ohio, Laura's been playing in the dirt (a.k.a. gardening). After 37 years, she's finally switching things up. The new look? Wait for it... plastic flowers. Yes, really. Eco-chic? Weatherproof? Discuss. Jean, on the other hand, is snacking like a frosty little woodland creature—frozen berries, frozen peas, frozen grapes. Laura's teeth hurt just thinking about it. She's sticking with her trusty bananas and spicy nuts. Hot and cold—just like our Midwestern weather! Finally, a little love note to our new bestie: ChatGPT. Whether you need outfit advice, patio plans, or a cheerful chatbot to chat with—we're officially smitten. (It even helped us write this.
