About this episode

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 shitty 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.
