About this episode
Remember the good old Gen X days with fruit cups and metal tins? Samantha admits to licking the fruit cup tin lids, while Lisa claims she was strictly warned by her mom not to. Did your mom have lid-licking rules? Are adult soothers too much, or the next weird wellness trend? Are you traumatized by childhood school photo days, forced smiles, gauchos, and matching turtlenecks? Have you ever tried to conquer a wrap with a plastic knife only to wonder: should this have been a salad? Do you fail your eye exam, or is it just a test you can’t win? Does the mere mention of cross-country skiing send you spiraling into traumatic flashbacks of high school PE, where the only thing colder than the snow was your enthusiasm? What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail—rob a bank, star on Broadway, or just manage not to spill your fruit cup? Lisa would go full Mission Impossible on a jewelry heist (“because, why not?”), while Samantha dreams of Broadway stardom, jazz hands and all. What’s your “can’t fail” fantasy?
Dive in with Lisa and Samantha for nostalgic stories, food fails, questionable life hacks, and all the midlife laughs, are you ready to keep shaking your head at life’s little (and big) absurdities?
