Brain Fog, Bargain Shopping & Biblical Plagues | Ep. 66

from MenOpod: all things fifty + · host MenOpod

Turning 56 apparently comes with two unexpected perks: a Ross senior discount—and the ability to forget the word “fork.”This week, Eliana goes into Ross for one suitcase and somehow loses an entire day, trusts ChatGPT over her husband during a full-blown shopping crisis, nearly sacrifices brand-new HOKAs to a Florida flash flood, falls in love with a beach sweater so ugly it should’ve come with a warning label, and watches an HRT patch stage a full escape attempt.Meanwhile, biblical swarms of flying ants invade the house, Leora recommends medication for basically everything, and the sisters debate whether the brain fog is menopause, aging… or just another spectacular midlife malfunction.Also: Weird Al nostalgia, Costco couture, AirPods paranoia, barf-colored childhood bedrooms, AARP magazine revelations, Obé workout victories, the dangers of replacing your spouse with ChatGPT, and the unsettling realization that they now worry more about their favorite musicians surviving tours than playing encores.If this is what aging looks like, we’d at least like a bigger Ross discount. And maybe a refund on the brain cells.🤣📱🍌Follow @MenOpodPodcast for more midlife chaos, menopause truths, and behind-the-scenes shenanigans.🎧 Subscribe wherever you listen so you never miss the mess

We specialize in unpacking the nuances of what is considered sacred and profane, particularly focusing on sex, death, and all that pertains to the circle of life. Our aim in focusing on such ”taboo” subject matter is to demystify what is unconscious, bring to light what has been known for centuries as ”the occult,” and empower the rapid transformation that is occurring on the Planet. Explicit Undeniable w/ Braxton Curtis Braxton Curtis The official Podcast of Braxton Curtis.A Father, Husband, and Business Owner just trying to figure it all out. Explicit Chinook Realm Religion and crime collide when a gruesome murder rocks the isolated community of Chinook, Montana. Local Deputy Ruth Vogel thought she was answering a routine animal control call, only to find a mangled corpse on the frozen embankment. Her small town is whipped into a frenzy and everyone is quick to point their fingers at a drug-addicted teenager, but Ruth suspects connections to a powerful religious group. Enter Agent Loro, an enigmatic FBI investigator tracking an evangelical cult that may have roots right here in Chinook. Loro and Ruth form a cautious partnership to find the killer—but as the mystery winds through Ruth’s life, her family, and her church, she’ll discover something more sinister than murder is afoot.Binge all episodes of Chinook exclusively and ad-free by joining Wondery+ in the Wondery App, Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
