The One with the Skunk, the Dogs, and Ted Lasso

Skunked Dogs, Puppy Tummy Trouble, and a Midlife Culture Check

Joy and Claire share life updates from a random episode: Claire is in Colorado for the week for a friend’s wedding and a hectic round of visiting friends and kids’ friends; she and Brandon started watching and loving Ted Lasso. Back in Moab, their dog River got skunked late at night. Joy recounts taking puppy McCoy to the vet for tummy issues. They discuss concerns about ultra-thin celebrity trends, fillers, and weight-loss drugs, note Joy’s Morpheus8 results and improved Botox longevity, share a positive recovery update on Ronnie Z amid nearby Colorado wildfires, touch on tick-related alpha-gal syndrome, and end with “would you rather” questions and glucose-monitor/berberine reflections.
