    From Nerds to Nightmares: Epstein Emails & the Fall of the Nice Guy Industrial Complex | Ep. 50

    For years, we were told to marry the nice nerdy guy. He was harmless, grateful, and too awkward to cause trouble. He wore fleece vests, cited data at dinner, and seemed like the safest bet on the board. Then the Epstein emails happened. Suddenly the “harmless genius” is sweating under the glow of old emails and private island invites. Turns out money doesn’t fix character—it just upgrades the Wi-Fi, hires a crisis team, and hides moral bankruptcy behind a billionaire smiles. This episode isn’t about verdicts. It’s about the collapse of the Nice Guy myth, the PR nightmare of proximity to power, and the quiet realization that awkward never meant ethical. Is EVERY man in the Epstein Files? Pack the Patagonia. The audit has begun. Accountability isn’t cancel culture. It’s just… consequences. 💅 👉 Follow ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MenOpodPodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for more midlife madness, menopause hacks and behind-the-scenes shenanigans 🎧 Subscribe wherever you listen so you never miss the mess

    Hot Mess Sisterhood of the Traveling Piles: Dana K. White Declutters the Chaos | Ep. 49

    Eliana’s living room is a hoarder’s heaven: Nerf guns are waging war on craft projects and chairs so buried under piles the piles now have piles of their own. She panics over what expired food she might need in a survival scenario, while her sister Leora - married to a man who cleans for fun — hovers like a minimalist sniper. Welcome to sibling chaos at its finest. Dana K. White - creator of the No Mess Decluttering Method and the force behind A Slob Comes Clean - swoops in with her five-step, no-mess method, including the ruthless “Container Concept” and the magic question, “Where would I look for this first?” Now you can tame the chaos without dumping everything on the floor, losing your mind, or starting World War III with your sister. No shame. No therapy. Just fewer piles. And maybe your kitchen table back. You can keep anything. But you cannot keep everything and your sanity.

    Murder Beds, Minivan Hustlers & the Consent-to-Cannibalism Clause | Ep. 48

    Eliana covers a trial so deranged it feels like Mad Libs: an IRS agent, a Brazilian au pair, kinky websites, and a couple who thought the move was playing house in the murder bed. Meanwhile, Leora’s 15-year-old is confidently negotiating minivan sales like a tiny used-car shark, the dog has committed yoga-mat crimes and vanished into witness protection, and somehow IKEA meatballs used to count as “fine dining.” Also on the docket: sweaters that “mysteriously” shrink, $7 pears with PR teams, emergency glove-box cash, and the legal system’s firm stance that you cannot — under any circumstances — agree to be eaten. All allegedly. All unhinged. None of it legal advice. 👉 Follow ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MenOpodPodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for more midlife madness, menopause hacks and behind-the-scenes shenanigans 🎧 Subscribe wherever you listen so you never miss the mess

    Plastic Plants, Fleapocalypse & Trauma-Drawer Dumpster Diving | Ep. 47

    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

    Hormones, Husbands, and Household Betrayals | Ep. 46

    Eliana draws a hard line at marrying the housekeeper, declares all husbands guilty by association, and rebrands a two-month sex drought as “vaginal freedom.” Leora’s basement has become a dungeon, the sump pump is screaming, and “flushable” wipes are exposed as the scam of the century. We cover HRT patches, Ozempic envy, elevator button rage, keyless cars no one understands, and why Eliana is now a born-again virgin saving herself for her next-life husband. Nothing is sacred, and no one is safe. By the end of this episode, you’ll question your life choices—and maybe your housekeeper. 👉 Follow ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MenOpodPodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for more midlife madness, menopause hacks and behind-the-scenes shenanigans 🎧 Subscribe wherever you listen so you never miss the mess

    Pulled Asses & Dirty Phones | Ep. 45

    Eliana’s New Year’s resolution to be more “fun” lasts exactly one catamaran jump before she pulls an ass muscle so catastrophic it sparks a full-blown family debate about her Do Not Resuscitate order. Leora is thrilled at the idea of finally pulling the plug, while Eliana is fairly certain her brothers already have a pillow fluffed and ready. Meanwhile, we expose the filthiest relationship in your life—your phone—declare sharing soap officially skanky, and watch “purchase paralysis” turn an Amazon cart into a meltdown of epic proportions. We also explain why cousins are better than friends (they already know you’re insane), and why Leora is hopelessly obsessed with Nate the Hoof Guy videos. If you can still blink a “f**k you” in Morse code, congrats—you’re alive… but your phone is absolutely trying to kill you. 👉 Follow ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MenOpodPodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for more midlife madness, menopause hacks and behind-the-scenes shenanigans 🎧 Subscribe wherever you listen so you never miss the mess

    Abandoned at Sea, Abandoned at the Mall | Ep. 44

    Eliana returns from a Royal Caribbean cruise having achieved full Lambert Vacation Energy on a Costco budget—through cliff diving, smuggled salad dressing, and becoming the oldest woman ever cleared to ride a FlowRider without medical supervision. Meanwhile, Leora’s “staycation” descends into a Lord of the Flies–style mall scavenger hunt, ending with her five children disappearing and Leora alone in a food court, eating Burger King in a paper crown like a dethroned queen. We debate “lady friend” vs. “girlfriend,” compare parenting styles that somehow both fail, and confront the universal truth of motherhood: whether you’re stranded at sea or abandoned at the mall, no matter how you raise them, all roads lead to ungrateful brats who will leave you without remorse. 👉 Follow ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MenOpodPodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for more midlife madness, menopause hacks and behind-the-scenes shenanigans 🎧 Subscribe wherever you listen so you never miss the mess

    Bedpans, Brain Farts, and Broken New Year’s Resolutions | Ep. 43

    Eliana’s racing against time with her ADHD brain while planning New Year’s resolutions she’ll probably definitely break. Meanwhile, Leora is pre-planning a garage sale for when Eliana kicks the bucket and recovering from a tooth extraction, accepting tips from the Tooth Fairy via Venmo. Assisted living? Junior high with more backstabbing and fewer men. Aging is glamorous…until your phone’s in the freezer, your husband’s watching soft porn, and life feels like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Lost words, rogue elbow hairs, bedpans, and carpool chaos—two women, zero shame, maximum midlife meltdown. Cheers to surviving the sinking ship. 🥂 👉 Follow ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MenOpodPodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for more midlife madness, menopause hacks and behind-the-scenes shenanigans 🎧 Subscribe wherever you listen so you never miss the mess
