This week on 40ish, things get a little… exposed. Literally. A listener shares a pool party nip slip in Ibiza that was witnessed by her ex, a teenager with a phone, and an 81-year-old with very good eyesight. Meanwhile, Nicole is wrestling with her Glastonbury FOMO (or is it actually JOMO?), and Lauren can only recall one thing from her own Glasto days - a jacket potato she ate in 1997. Iconic. A listener wants to know the rules on family WhatsApp groups after a dilemma that involves a colonoscopy and a very public family overshare (why, Dad… just, why?) It’s classic 40ish mayhem: inappropriate stories, unexpected life lessons, and enough second-hand embarrassment to make you grateful you stayed home.
