    Thou Shalt Not Try Me: Holy Days, Sh*tty Sports & Family Plot Twists | Ep. 73

    New year, clean slate? Please. Eliana and Leora kick off 5787 debating forgiveness, family food trauma, and Eliana’s new favorite commandment: “Thou shalt not try me.” Shana Tova, everyone! 🍎🍯 Also on the High Holy Days agenda: a HYROX horror story nobody asked for, the theological implications of GLP-1s on Yom Kippur, and a 6 A.M. sisterly SOS involving their mother, their dead dad, and his surprise postmortem trip to the Holy Land. Apparently, a “final resting place” is only final until your mother has other plans. Meanwhile, Eliana is preparing for the AI apocalypse the only sensible way she knows how: keeping a suitcase packed. Because apparently when the robots take over, she has somewhere else to be. And she makes her big-screen debut in the documentary First They Came for My College, finally giving Hollywood what it’s been missing: her award-worthy Resting Bitch Face. 🎬 Poop, prayer, postmortem travel, sisterly secrets, must-see cinema, and proof that after 50, absolutely nothing is sacred. Not religion. Not family. Not even the dead. L’Shana Tova, ladies. May you be inscribed in the Book of Life—and remember where you put it. 😂 🎧 MenOpod: All Things Fifty Plus — because life begins when your period ends. 💖 🎧 Follow MenOpod: All Things Fifty Plus on your favorite podcast app and Instagram—and send this episode to someone you love but haven’t necessarily forgiven. 🎬 For more of Eliana’s award-worthy Resting Bitch Face, check out First They Came for My College:firsttheycameformycollege.com#MenOpod #MenOpodAllThingsFiftyPlus #MenopausePodcast #MenopauseHumor #MenoMoment #WomenOver50 #MidlifeWomen #LifeAfter50 #SisterTalk #RoshHashanah #ShanaTova#FirstTheyCameForMyCollege

    Nursing Homes, Nut Houses & Nosh Nightmares | Ep. 72

    Eliana and Leora are barely speaking again, so naturally they’re planning their nursing-home futures. Who’s losing her marbles first? Whose kids will actually visit? And does learning mahjong guarantee you a better table in assisted living? 👵🏻🀄️ First up, Leora puts Eliana through a cognitive test involving subtraction by sevens—which seems like a pretty s****y way to determine whether someone has dementia. 🧠 From there, it’s the usual MenOpod madness: menopause, migraines, mental health, more drama at the Lindsay Clancy trial, jerk jurors, courtroom chaos—and a family crisis over whether eating one of Mom’s rotting bananas makes you a mooch. 🍌 Then comes the real emergency: TRADER JOE’S HAS IMPOSED A TWO-ITEM LIMIT ON PROTEIN PANCAKES! 🥞🚨 Managers are summoned. Conspiracy theories are floated. This Trader Hoe may never recover 💀🥞 And somehow, between the sister fights, senior moments and pancake panic, another year has flown by. With Rosh Hashanah approaching, the sisters are embracing fresh starts, second chances—and pretending they’ll be better people in 5787. 🍎🍯 Shanah Tova, and may your year be sweet, your pancakes plentiful, and your children willing to visit you in the nursing home. 😂 Will Eliana finally apologize to Leora? Probably not. But there’s always 5788. 🍎🍯😂 🎧 MenOpod: All Things Fifty Plus — because life begins when your period ends. 💖 #MenOpod #AllThingsFiftyPlus #Menopause #Perimenopause #SisterPodcast #WomenOver50 #MidlifeWomen #ADHD #HormoneReplacementTherapy #TraderJoes #RoshHashanah #ShanahTova #MidlifeHumor #PodcastLife Follow MenOpod wherever you listen to your podcasts, leave us a review (yes, we actually read them!), and follow @menopodpodcast on Instagram for clips, behind-the-scenes chaos, and all the menopausal mayhem.

    Lions, Liars & Lost Marbles | Ep. 71

    Leora returns from safari with tales of lions, horny hippos, terrifying night drives, and the shocking discovery that lionesses do all the hunting while males eat first. So basically, the Serengeti has husbands. Meanwhile, Eliana welcomes grand-bunny Gunnar — (RIP Thumper 1, 2…and possibly 3.) and we tackle life’s essential post-50 questions: neck-up or neck-down beauty, becoming our mothers, husbands who are somehow unable to master the skill of putting groceries away, shampoo shower mysteries, and whether our organs are too old and rotten to donate.  Plus: cheating men, deepfake porn, whole-body scans, bizarre news, and two menopausal brains operating like a malfunctioning customer-service line where every representative is on hold. Menopause may take our estrogen, our muscle mass, and our short-term memory—but it will never take our opinions. And trust us, we have plenty of those. No experts. No filter. Just sisters, safari stories, questionable men, one grand-bunny, and plenty of lost marbles.  MenOpod: Because life begins when your period ends—and that’s when the real nonsense starts.   Follow MenOpod wherever you listen to your podcasts, leave us a review (yes, we actually read them!), and follow @menopodpodcast on Instagram for clips, behind-the-scenes chaos, and all the menopausal mayhem.

    Panty Liners to Pearly Gates: Never Trust a Fart After 50 I Episode 70

    We’re back from “summer hiatus” — AKA a sister fight — and apparently absence makes the insults grow stronger. This week: Eliana ups her hormone patch, gets vindicated by a UTI, admits she actually DOES miss flights, and joins Leora in inventing the training diaper — for that delicate stage of midlife when Depends feels premature but you can no longer trust a fart. Plus: college chaos, empty-nest panic, Mahjong, AI, weddings and our newest business venture: planning your eternity. Because the kids may leave the nest, but the hormones, hemorrhoids and questionable farts are here to stay. Welcome back to MenOpod: All Things Fifty Plus — where 50+ is never TMI. 🎧 Listen to the newest episode of MenOpod All Things Fifty Plus wherever you get your podcasts. 👇 Tell us: What are YOU doing to prepare for the empty nest?

    Rich, Laid & Completely Unqualified | Ep. 69

    Apparently, we’ve reached the stage of life where we think we can solve the world’s problems, invent million-dollar businesses, and improve civilization—all before our coffee gets cold. This week we’re talking about the Tate brothers’ latest legal drama (because karma loves a sequel), robot husbands, road rage, menopause, gay dads, college application insanity, and our newest invention: Oy VeyMo™️—because apparently even self-driving cars need a little Jewish mothering. Somewhere between breaking news and complete nonsense, we also pitch enough million-dollar business ideas to either make us rich or get us sued. No experts. No filter. Just two sisters with opinions, hot flashes, and far more confidence than qualifications. 🎧 Follow MenOpod wherever you listen, leave us a review (yes, we actually read them), and follow @menopodpodcast on Instagram for clips, behind-the-scenes chaos, and all the menopausal mayhem.

    Three Hormone Patches, Two Missed Flights & Zero Self-Awareness | Ep. 68

    Eliana and Leora are back after a sisterly standoff that proves one thing: after 50+ years of sibling history, passive-aggressive can still become aggressively aggressive. This week on MenOpod, Eliana turns hormone replacement therapy into a math problem, somehow ends up with three hormone patches in play, misses a flight (then nearly misses the next one), battles the world of concierge medicine, discovers she may be losing her hearing, and proves once again that rental cars are no match for her. Meanwhile, Leora questions every life choice that led her to sitting across from her sister with a microphone. The sisters dive into the disappearing act of beloved doctors, summer camp guilt, anxious parenting, Love Island-induced parenting nightmares, grocery store moral dilemmas, texting while driving, hearing alarms your friends can hear but you can’t, and the eternal mystery of why Eliana has never met a deadline—or departure time—she couldn’t challenge. So grab your hormone patch (just one this time), check your boarding pass, and join us for another episode of menopause, mayhem, sisterly roasting, and the hilarious chaos of life after fifty. Because at MenOpod, we believe life begins when your period ends… even if your memory, GPS, and calendar disagree. 🤣🗓️🏝️Follow @MenOpodPodcast for more midlife chaos, menopause truths, and behind-the-scenes shenanigans. 🎧 Subscribe wherever you listen so you never miss the mess

    Broadway, Bungee Cords & Barely Helpful Sons | Ep. 67

    Menopause has entered the chat… and apparently stolen Eliana’s memory, patience, and ability to remember why she walked into a room.This week, the sisters revisit childhood rivalries, debate who was actually Mom’s favorite, and wonder if they’ve been fighting for five decades purely for everyone else’s entertainment.Meanwhile, Eliana escapes to New York for a Broadway binge featuring vampires, Ralph Macchio, celebrity memoirs, and enough Playbills to wallpaper a retirement home. Leora shares her grocery-store memory hack, the sisters accidentally invent a million-dollar menopause gadget, and both agree that learning new technology after 50 should come with hazard pay.Also: husbands who use their wives as human shields, sons who supervise luggage instead of lifting it, rogue chin (and knuckle!) hairs, airport chaos, Love Island, mezuzah debates, and a vacation disaster that proves why bungee cords should never be trusted.Growing older isn’t graceful—but it does give us unlimited material, questionable memories, and absolutely no shortage of things to complain about.

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

    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
