OK Boomer Podcast

Eppy 139: The Star-Spangled Pickle
Happy Birthday, America! In this festive episode, Jean and Laura salute the red, white, and dill.

Welcome back, Boomers, Gen Xers, and everyone who's ever tried to give away a perfectly good basket! After five years of podcasting, we've come to accept a hard truth: our kids still don't want our stuff. And now we've learned that even our beloved Longaberger baskets are a hard pass.
