About this episode

The episode explores the hosts' experiences with memory and nostalgia, sparked by Laura's recent trip to Paris and Jean's reflections on her past.

Welcome to Eppy 161 of the OK Boomer Podcast — Our Brains! Laura returns home from Paris exhausted, jet-lagged, and occasionally speaking French for no apparent reason, while Jean admits she spent the week tracking Laura's adventures through YouTube river cruise videos.That sparks memories of Jean studying in France at age 19 — writing letters on blue airmail paper, waiting hours for overseas phone calls, and bravely wandering into Paris alone long before cell phones existed. Then things get very relatable...Jean misplaces her breakfast- why can't keep track of things any more? Laura reports that nobody at a recent party could remember names, and both sisters wonder what exactly is happening to their brains.Naturally, this somehow leads directly into discussing the Top 10 funeral songs. Yes, it really is a trend!
