Today on 40ish: Lauren innocently considers buying some new trainers and is promptly informed by her son she’s an “NPC”. Rude. Confusing (Isn’t that a car park?) We unpack the insult, and whether footwear is now a personality flaw.

Meanwhile, the brain fog is fogging as Nicole misplaces her keys and eventually finds them in the last place any sane person would look. And in dilemma territory, things take a deeply uncomfortable turn when a listener realises her doctor is a man she once dated…and he’s about to look at her bum. Is it ever acceptable to say, “Well, this is awkward,” while wearing a paper gown? Midlife confusion, lost keys, and emotional damage. Business as usual.
