Midlife Madness: Fake Teeth, French Onion Soup & Impatience

Midlife Madness: Fake Teeth, French Onion Soup & Impatience

Is impatience really just a desire for efficiency, or is Lisa in denial about her lack of patience? Do you get annoyed by slow elevators, drive-throughs that don't zigzag fast enough, or people who don't reply right away? Is it really being a “Karen” to want your new teeth just right, or is Lisa getting kicked out of the denturist's office for demanding perfection? Can refusing to appreciate French onion soup really divide friendships? Are book people annoyingly braggy about their TBR piles? Is it time for midlife women everywhere to finally take a stand, call out rudeness, and tell folks to “sit down and shut up”? Are you fed up with every daily task needing a new app, or do you embrace the future of smartphone technology? Is “because I said so” truly the unbeatable trump card in arguments, and should parents everywhere bring it back as the ultimate conversation stopper? Do you have a secret hang-up about refusing to finish milk, pop, or coffee down to the last drop, or is Lisa alone in her bottom-of-the-bottle paranoia? Is the male version of Karen actually a David or a Dan, and do you believe male coworkers deserve their own meme status? Should all food be takeout, or has Uber Eats gone too far? 

Tune in for all these head-shaking questions, plus listener shout-outs, cookie debates, and more hilarious midlife reminders to keep shaking your head at life’s quirks!
