    Eppy 157: Where's Jessica

    Spring nostalgia + modern silliness + generational humor
    (aka: toddlers, Boomers, and meltdowns all welcome)Jean opens in full dramatic mode... something is clearly wrong. But don't panic — the solution is simple: we just have to find Jessica.Yes, "Where's Jessica?" is the latest calming trick for toddler meltdowns — and frankly, it works just as well on adults (and possibly spouses). You're welcome.From there, we hop into spring — our favorite season — and take a nostalgic stroll through April episodes past, from stressed-out sisters (2020) to senior playgrounds (2021), wild ramps (2023), and the unforgettable Total Solar Eclipse of April 8, 2024.We also celebrate the comeback of the name Everett (Dad would approve), tackle Laura's spring food quiz (hello, two-ingredient lemon bars!), and share beauty advice ranging from eye cream to... turtlenecks.Spring is here. Hope is blooming. And Jessica? She's somewhere out there. Follow us on Instagram, X, and Facebook @OKBoomerPod

    Eppy 156: Tell Your Peeps!


    Hello, hello!Spring has officially sprung, and Laura and Jean are ready for it—stepping out of the cold, dark days and into sunshine... even if that pesky time change took a little getting used to!

    Jean and her OH headed off on a Cleveland staycation—complete with a couple disappointments, and... an unexpected number of very tall people. (You'll have to listen!)

    Meanwhile, Laura came across something surprising—Ruth's Chris Steakhouse is once again emphasizing a proper dress code. It got us thinking... whatever happened to dressing up for dinner?

    Some traditions may be making a quiet comeback!With Easter around the corner (or Resurrection Sunday, as many of us call it),

    Laura is in her element—sharing creative and surprisingly clever egg-dyeing ideas. Ever tried using a silk tie? Or—brace yourself—boiling Peeps for color? (Yes... those poor Peeps.)However you celebrate, we wish you a joyful, hope-filled season of renewal and new life.And this year?

    Episode 152: Oh, Oh, Oh Olympics

    We've been Olympic fans since Peggy Fleming's golden moment in 1964—and that love is still going strong! In this fun, wide-ranging episode, Jean admits she's officially hooked on Instagram Reels and shares one unforgettable clip featuring "O Canada" in a most unexpected (and delightful) way. Should it be played at the Olympics? She thinks so.

    Meanwhile, Jean's Other Half is eyeing Tai Chi—could this be the start of an Olympic training montage? Jean also wanders (happily) into Ambrosia Salad territory before the torch is passed to Laura and the Winter Olympics.Laura brings the serious enthusiasm: figure skating favorites, top Team USA athletes, and a fascinating new sport—SkiMo. Speed skating also gets its due, including Laura's own kitchen-length practice sessions (performed in socks, naturally). Join us for Olympic nostalgia, curiosity, and plenty of laughs as we settle in for the next two weeks!

    Jan 21 2026


    Blogger friend Beth Ann Chiles from It's Just Life surprised us this week by announcing, "I'm a liar!" A routine medical exam revealed she's actually 5'3½"—not the long-believed 5'4". Welcome to midlife "shrinkage"!Jean shares her joy-filled night at a Cleveland Cavaliers game, complete with a thrilling half-court shot that earned one lucky fan $10,000. We also break down the new slang term "Unc/Unk," discover we're actually part of Generation Jones (not Boomers!), and laugh as Laura attempts to use her 26-year-old Sam's Club card
