Millie and Maxine dig deep into their hopes and dreams, and why mom-guilt is the worst. They also touch on the ever-important “oat versus soy milk” debate and why it’s important to have a friend you can worry-vomit on. Today’s grab bag, “things we hate,” centers around gas-station-Brian’s sunny outlook, Millie’s mismatched kitchen appliances, and finding tween clothes that don’t belong at a strip-club. Please join us. Because a midlife crisis is more fun with friends!
