Judd Apatow has mentioned that 40 year olds have a tendency to re-watch "This Is 40," so now that I'm 3 months into my 40th era, I thought why not? Join me as I figure out how turning 40 in 2012 compares to hitting that milestone in 2024. I totally forgot Leslie Mann's character was OBSESSED with telling everyone she was younger than her actual age, so I asked the squad to tell me about the times they've lied about how old they are. We also get into being a Mum in your 40s...I've decided I'm DONE with overpriced concert tickets (erm hello hi Diljit Dosanjh) and I want Gen Z to keep some of our secrets (they're really outing us for using the thumbs up emoji as a silent f*** you). Ummm and why is a child getting nail extensions at the nail salon. Come on, let us have nice things sometimes.Got shit to say?Email almost40thepodcast@gmail.comFollow @almost40pod @_rajpanderxoxo The 40 Year Old Gossip Girl
