    Questions We've Never Asked ('Til Now) | EP46

    This week, Trish and Karen decided to turn the tables and ask each other questions they didn't already know the answers to—and oh, did it take us places! From Costco-induced anxiety to growing up in the funeral business, to a Dolly Parton moment that changed everything (and maybe our hair game), nothing was off limits. We laughed through celebrity run-ins, got real about grief, and wrapped it all up with rapid-fire questions that might just reveal more than we planned.

    Navigating Life with Laughter (And Maybe Wine)🍷  |  EP 43 Hold onto your hairspray, folks—this episode is a wild ride! Trish and Karen are back at it, swapping stories like they're at a late-night sleepover. Karen's got a forehead injury tale that's equal parts hilarious and how did that even happen? Meanwhile, Trish keeps it real about perimenopause (hot flashes, mood swings—the whole glamorous package). They laugh about the freedom of not giving a damn anymore, debate why Gen Z texts like they're paying per word, and gush over their mutual love of long, wine-fueled dinners. Oh, and comedy? They've got thoughts—especially when it comes to stealing jokes (don't) and why Dolly Parton is basically a superhero in rhinestones. Grab your favorite snack and settle in—this one's a riot.       🔗Music by Butch Walker...check him out on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/artist/7qKoy46vPnmIxKCN6ewBG4?si=q25es8_fSTinJ_7eengUIg   Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Light Banter 02:48 Navigating Menopause and Its Effects 05:36 The Freedom of Not Caring 08:15 Generational Shifts in Communication 09:29 Plans for July and Enjoying Life 11:19 Comedy and New Material Exploration 14:24 The Creative Process in Comedy 14:57 Cross-Pollination in Comedy 16:45 The Yacht Rock Analogy 17:46 Behind the Scenes with Ringo Starr 18:57 Rock Documentaries and Their Impact 21:37 The Beatles' Legacy and Relationships 22:51 Dolly Parton's Influence and Branding 25:39 Dolly Parton's Philanthropy and Legacy 28:33 Rescue Dogs and Personal Stories Socials & Links  Trish Suhr Website | Trish Suhr 🔗https://www.trishsuhr.com/ Instagram 🔗https://www.instagram.com/trishsuhr/ Facebook 🔗https://www.facebook.com/trishsuhr/ YouTube 🔗https://www.youtube.com/user/trishsuhr Twitter 🔗https://twitter.com/TrishSuhr  Karen Mills Website | Karen Mills Comedy  🔗https://www.karenmills.com/ Instagram 🔗https://www.instagram.com/karenmillscomedy/ Facebook 🔗https://www.facebook.com/karenmillscomedian/ YouTube 🔗https://www.youtube.com/c/KarenMillscomedy Twitter 🔗https://twitter.com/kmillscomedy      Takeaways 📍Karen shares a funny story about her forehead injury. 📍Trish and Karen discuss their hair and beauty routines. 📍They emphasize the importance of laughter and friendship. 📍Trish talks about her experience with perimenopause and its effects. 📍They reflect on the freedom that comes with age and not caring about small things. 📍The conversation shifts to generational differences in communication. 📍Karen expresses her love for slow dinners with friends. 📍Trish shares her experiences performing in diverse comedy rooms. 📍They discuss the importance of creative inspiration in comedy. 📍The conversation ends with a light-hearted discussion about Dolly Parton's legacy.   #trishsuhr #karenmills #PerimenopauseStories #ComedyPodcast #WomenOver50 #DollyPartonFan #GenerationalHumor #RealTalkPodcast #StandUpComedy #AgingWithHumor #FriendshipGoals #FunnyWomen
