Eppy 148: Daughter Mountain Heaven

About this episode

Jean and Laura discuss holiday gifts, technology's impact on memory, and generational trends.

The holidays are tip-toeing closer, and everyone swears there's "plenty of time". Jean and Laura kick off with gift talk, including the latest hot gadget: the Wi-Fi love lamp that lets loved ones send colorful light signals to say "Hey, I'm awake!" or "I miss you!" or "I pressed the wrong color again." Then we tumble headfirst into the viral "six-seven" trend (is this our fault? Did Boomers accidentally start this?) We discover that egg plates are suddenly a Gen Z treasure, and defend the honor of the noble China cabinet.Laura faced three days without her phone and ends up on an Apple Store pilgrimage full of forgotten passwords, blinking screens, and the slow unraveling of short-term memory. Is tech making us all forgetful? And should we be panicking when the Medicare memory test arrives?
