How Are We 40?

This week on How Are We Forty?, we recap Episode 11 of The Valley — aka “Darkside Danny,” which is rich considering Jax and Jesse are out here behaving like actual sleep paralysis demons while Danny’s greatest crime is…having feelings? The gang is somehow STILL in Big Bear (this trip has lasted longer than some wars), Janet throws the most aggressively Pinterest-2012 baby shower imaginable, Jesse continues his one-man psychological warfare campaign against Danny, and Brittany finally says the word “divorce” out loud. In short: everyone is unwell, and we’re having the time of our lives watching their worlds crumble around them. OUR INSTAGRAMOUR TIKTOKOUR YOUTUBE

This week, Whit + Julia compare notes about pandemic pregnancies, parenting chaotic kindergarteners, and a shared comic crush on the one and only Nathan Fiedler. They get into intrusive thoughts, the hypocrisy of the “hot mom," and why humor might be the only sane response to it all.

Your resident Bravo expert (Tay’s Dad) is back for another recap of the greatest show on television—and this episode is a gift. The Big Bear babymoon has officially gone rogue with unresolved tension bubbling over. From Jax’s full-blown rage spiral to Jesse’s porch therapy session, it’s emotional chaos at altitude.OUR INSTAGRAMOUR TIKTOKOUR YOUTUBE

Breaking news: Tay is engaged!!! This week, we get the full story—one that involved method-acting, a blackout-level shock response and undercover operatives. Also discussed: how engagement bliss lasts exactly three days before you become a human spreadsheet, why wedding dresses take 4–6 months to make (???), and panic-googling wedding timelines.

This week, Tay is joined by a very special guest—her dad—who comes in with the hot takes (and honestly? some extremely valid opinions). Together, they break down the cast’s trip to Big Bear, Janet’s covert mean girl antics, Jesse’s ayahuasca-induced ego trip (spoiler: his takeaway is… he’s perfect?), and Michelle being confronted about cheating rumors. It’s messy, chaotic—and apparently now multigenerational?OUR INSTAGRAMOUR TIKTOKOUR YOUTUBE
