Age Blind

Two >50 bad-ass friends (who happen to be blonde, but hardly bimbos) spill all kinds of tea on ten provocative topics that men and women of a certain age will relate to.

From sex (of course) to careers to perspectives on life as we age, they'll share their honest and helpful perspectives. You're bound to learn, laugh, nod, and perhaps even blush. You'll find out:

• How we met and why we vibed

• What we do for work (paid and unpaid)

• Why we both wrote books

• How we fight

• Our thoughts on men >50 (the good, the bad, and the very ugly)

• And much, much more -- including what's next for us!

It's a fact. If you're over 50, chances are that dental care in your childhood kinda sucked. Who knew about fluoride and braces back then? Your teeth may deteriorate rapidly, and your mouth could be packed with metal fillings. Some people don't smile. Others live with yellowing and crooked teeth or may replace their choppers with big fake white ones.

Robert is not a typical dentist. He's actually funny! He'll tell you…

• Why teeth can get gnarly with age

• Why your smile is so important -- especially if you're dating >50!

• Ways you can whiten, brighten, and overcome dental fears

• Whether a correlation exists between sexual activity and certain forms of cancer

• And more!

So, open wide and get ready to learn and chortle.

That flappy neck thing, wrinkles around our eyes and mouth, and thinning lips can disturb us, especially on ZOOM or TEAMS calls, when we're forced to look up close at our faces.

But before you rush off to the plastic surgeon or day spa, listen to what Tonya and Nancy say about keeping your face fit as you age.

Tonya will also share:

• Why she chose skincare as a career after leaving the military

• The stigma she sometimes faces around her professional choices

• Fitting self-care and socializing into your routine

Your face is the first thing someone sees when they meet you. Shouldn't it be smooth and smiling?

Colton has heard his share of fears from 50+ patients as they go through vaxxing, testing, swabbing, and IVing.

Although some of us complain non-stop about aches and pains as we age or avoid doctors completely, others take charge of their preventative care and take steps to keep their bodies running smoothly (like a classic car).

You'll learn:

• Why so many people fear doctors

• How cortisol can mess up your everyday life

• What Nancy is doing to keep her body healthy at 50+

It's NOT medical advice -- simply a frank conversation about health, wellness, and longevity.

Nancy and Matt are four decades apart but have become great friends and colleagues. They chat frankly about how to bridge the digital divide.

PLUS, one thing they have in common is that they've been willing to travel to other states to meet suitors from dating apps. You'll hear:

• How to screen long-distance dates

• The best tips for planning and hosting

• Horror stories and lessons learned

No matter what generation you identify with, you'll hear something that can change your social circle (and dating life)

We get it. You may have grown up with a rotary dial phone, manual typewriter, and mimeograph machine.

But now, technology is everywhere and an essential part of work, play, and socializing.

You don't have to learn to dance on TikTok or become a robot overlord, but you DO need to have a basic understanding of automation, robotics, and AI to live longer, make your life better, and remain relevant.

Jack shares his fave tech applications, talks a bit about online dating, and makes tech simple and accessible at ANY age!

No guest?

No problem!

When I had a last-minute cancelation, Brian Howie (founder of Podpopuli and long-time podcaster) suggested I just "talk to myself" -- which I often do anyway.

So, this will now become a regular feature podcast.

I will ruminate and share things I'm obsessing (or perhaps just thinking a lot about) this month.

As a woman >50, I'll offer my perspectives on LIFE, SEX, and TECH (as my podcast ad promises).

Honest and unfiltered. Timely. And entertaining, I hope.

I know that for about 15 minutes, I'll be the smartest and funniest person in the room.

And maybe you'll even agree.

Whether you've never been married or divorced or widowed and are >50, you are sometimes treated like a piece of rotten fruit or spoiled yogurt. People may assume there's something tragically wrong with you, or you're too picky. In this episode, I (a divorced woman who's been single for three years) and Brian Howie (who has never been married) talk about:

1. What "being single" really means
2. Mistakes we have made along the way
3. Dating standards and why we need them
