Coffee lovers, perk up — Jean and Laura are diving deep into the caffeinated world of coffee culture in OK Boomer PodcastFrom after-church trips to Egg Castle and all-night college study sessions fueled by Swiss Miss mixed into coffee, to the rise of lattes, Keurigs, and fancy espresso drinks, this episode is one giant cozy coffee chat with plenty of laughs along the way. The sisters revisit their first "elevated coffee" experiences, wonder whether Cleopatra or the disciples ever drank coffee, and explore how Starbucks changed everything — especially in Beautiful Ohio!Laura quizzes Jean on coffee history, they compare coffee routines, debate reheating coffee (Laura says absolutely not), and somehow end up discussing colonoscopies, meltdowns, and the legendary "Where's Jessica?" toddler-calming technique.The episode wraps up with Jean and Laura clinking coffee cups together and officially announcing they're available for sponsorships and brand ambassador opportunities.
