Plastic Plants, Fleapocalypse & Trauma-Drawer Dumpster Diving | Ep. 47
from MenOpod: all things fifty + · host MenOpod
This week, the sisters spiral efficiently: Leora goes full plastic-plant because gardening is harder than raising five kids, and Eliana survives a fleapocalypse so biblical it makes the Ten Plagues look like a soft launch—powered by DEET and a 4 a.m. vampire schedule.They debate whether physical therapy works or is just sanctioned floor-napping, why airplane tray tables feel like a deliberate impalement choice, and whether dying reclined is more dignified or just lazy. Also: news addiction vs. the 1010 WINS rule, unsolicited ChatGPT hotness ratings, midlife sciatica, and why ranting may be the last true cure for migraines—and modern life in general. Plus, Leora once again pries open the many drawers of Eliana’s trauma-filled mind, proving nothing heals like your sister forcing you to relive things you carefully labeled “DO NOT OPEN.”Fleas, judgment, and existential dread: at least your sister’s consistent.👉 Follow @MenOpodPodcast for more midlife madness, menopause hacks and behind-the-scenes shenanigans🎧 Subscribe wherever you listen so you never miss the mess
