3.4 Kids, Job, Partner, Self: Pick Two

from Top Five · host Chris Paek and Liz Lin

Liz is loving the cast album of Six: The Musical, and Chris is unsettled by his New Year's Eve viewing of Don't Look Up.  (Spoiler alert: Please skip 6:00 to 17:10 if you don't want to know how the movie ends.)  Then we revisit a topic that we first discussed two and a half years ago, in our second episode: adulthood.  We talk about Chris's major life updates, whether adulthood is anything more than a series of logistical tasks, and Liz's newfound understanding of why people have midlife crises.  And since we're right in between Solar New Year and Lunar New Year, we wrap with our New Year's resolutions.  The differences in the aspirations of someone who has kids and someone who does not have never been starker.  Happy Year of the Tiger, y'all!  We still have one more chance to try out those resolutions again. facebook.com/topfivepod Instagram: @topfivepod Twitter: @thetopfivepod Art by Colin Turnbull (colinpturnbull.com) Music by Origami Pigeon
