    Dec 18 2023

    Tune in as we navigate the awkwardness of a shared coffee and the oddly unpleasant feelings that can hijack your taste buds when someone takes a bite of your food. But that's not all; we also expose some disturbing video content we were misled into watching!

    Plus, we take a deep look at the evolution of friendships, the challenges of maintaining social connections in a pandemic, and how solitude can serve as a shield against loneliness.

  • S3 E02: Confidence in your 40s, pluses and minuses
    Dec 11 2023

    Have you ever woken up one morning, looked in the mirror, and thought, "When did I get old?" You're not alone. Join us, two 40-somethings, in a frank and hilarious discussion about the realities of aging and the trials and tribulations of adulthood. We chat about our changing confidence, life milestones, and even some of our destructive life patterns.

    Ever wonder why we become more assertive as we age? Is it wisdom or just having less patience for nonsense? We'll share our thoughts on this, as well as how we navigate conflicts and communicate more assertively without bottling up emotions. We'll also share some laughs as we talk about our frustrations with tire replacements, encounters with cyclists, and even our calm and talented vet who might just be a secret serial killer.

    Wrapping it up, we'll address our anxieties around dressing for social events and the unrealistic standards set by fashion models. We'll vent about our struggles with playing sports and the challenge of finding a balance between being assertive and avoiding conflict. And of course, we'll share our moment of the week and the ups and downs of maintaining coolness as we age. So buckle up and join us on this wild ride through life in our 40s. It's not always pretty, but it's definitely entertaining.
