Sad Knees, Great Vibes, Zero Apologies

What if the glow-up everyone talks about isn’t a new serum or a strict routine—but the grounded freedom of finally not caring about the wrong things? We go from laughing at the “We Do Not Care Club” reel to unpacking how midlife confidence blooms when you choose presence over performance, comfort over perfection, and energy over endless approval.

We trace the arc from anxious 20s to overloaded 30s to the honest relief of your 40s and 50s. Menopause and perimenopause show up here as more than hot flashes; they become catalysts for clarity. We swap stories about running errands bare-faced, throwing parties without fussy details, and admitting that “sad knees” are not a crisis. It’s funny, but it’s also liberation: no one is tallying our perceived flaws, and the people who love us just want us to show up. That shift turns self-consciousness into self-respect.

We also get candid about relationships and stress. Many of us rehearse imaginary crises; our partners often don’t. Learning to let go of advanced worrying creates space for joy, creativity, and rest. Culture is shifting too—more silver hair in ads, more body diversity, and more visible midlife style. Seeing ourselves represented makes it easier to honor every version of who we’ve been: the woman who carried us through heartbreak, built businesses, raised kids, and kept going when life was heavy. We’re not lowering the bar; we’re moving it to what matters—connection, health, humor, and choice.

If you’re ready to trade perfect for present and treat aging as a practice, this conversation will feel like a warm, slightly salty group chat you didn’t know you needed. Hit play, then tell us what you’ve stopped caring about and what you’re choosing instead. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs this reminder, and leave a review to help more listeners find the show.

Welcome To The Slightly Salty Show

Voice Over 0:02

Welcome to the Group Chat Goes Live Slightly Salty Edition, where your three favorite troublemakers turn the chaos of the group text into a full-blown weekly show. We're talking real life, real opinions, and just enough sass to keep things interesting. No filters, no perfection. Just three women with big personalities, bold stories, and a habit of saying the quiet parts out loud. So grab your drink, brace yourself, and join us. Because the group chat didn't just spill the tea, it went live.

Adrianne 0:34

All right, this one we're just gonna have some fun. And I don't know if you guys follow the reels that are the we don't care club. When you get to your 40s and 50s, we feel like you get less and less of a care about anything. So roll the beginning of the reel. Okay, let's do this.

Leanna 0:52

Love her. I know. I'm gonna try and find the same one.

The We Do Not Care Club Reel

SPEAKER_00 0:55

Hello, and welcome to our new and existing members of the We Do Not Care Club. I started this club for all women going through parametopause and menopause. Today we are putting our kids on notice of what we simply do not care about anymore. We do not care if you're mad, we check your location. That's the exact reason we have it. We do not care if your friend's parents let them do it. By all means, go live with them. We do not care how tired you are. We have been tired since you were born. We do not care if your room is your space, it's in our house. We do not care that your phone died. It's interesting that we saw your TikTok go up 15 minutes ago. We do not care if you say I was gonna do it. Quit lying. We do not care if your teacher has not put in your 26 missing assignments. Let her know that if you fail her class, you are moving in with her and her family. We do not care about the silent treatment. Peace and quiet is our love language.

Adrianne 2:21

That concludes our announcement. So I love hers. I always think she's hilarious on all of her we do not cares. Um so I felt like we would make our own list of what we do not care about. Yes, I think she's brilliant. And we will tag.

SPEAKER_04 2:36

We heard talked about the glow up.

Leanna 2:38

Yes.

SPEAKER_04 2:38

So is that so

Midlife Glow-Up And Confidence

SPEAKER_04 2:40

you said in our 40s and 50s we're glowing up.

Leanna 2:42

Well, apparently because someone didn't recognize me the other day that I'd known for 10 years and was like, wow, you do look glowy. Yes.

SPEAKER_04 2:52

I'm gonna I'm gonna Well, that's what we're talking that's what we're talking about, right?

Leanna 2:55

Yeah, just the you know what? There is something that happens in your 40s that in my 30s people told me about and I thought sounded just ludicrous, which was you just don't care. And I remember seeing her for the first time. We will s we'll put a link in our comments to her um to her page. If you don't listen and follow, you have to. But yeah, something magical happens and you just don't care anymore. I think all the time, stuff that used to bother me, I'm like, I don't, I don't really care. And it's not that I don't I I don't know what happened. Like I just somehow lost my ability to care.

Adrianne 3:33

I think you just get to an age where like in your twenties, you're worried about what everyone's going to think, and then I feel like then in your 30s, you're working on your career and life and kids and everyone is judging you. And I don't know. I feel like by the time you hit your 40s, you're getting to that point where you're you just you don't care what people think. You're gonna live there your best life, what makes you happy. And then I think as you get closer to 50, I think the we don't care gets even stronger. Yeah that you're not caring what people think and what people are doing. And you just live your life.

SPEAKER_04 4:02

I'm closer to 60. I can't believe I just said that out loud. No, 56. That's it.

Leanna 4:08

In my head, you're younger than 50. Because you're always going. Well, I'm not gonna speak for both of us. I'll just I feel like you're younger than me because you're always somewhere. I'm usually in my PJs eating my popcorn, watching this the different things that you do, because you're on a color run on a bike. Dude, I haven't been on a bike in 20 years. I'm not trying to do all that stuff.

SPEAKER_04 4:31

I don't know. I think that that girls are that are in their 20s are much more mature, like much more self-secure, I guess. I don't know. I see girls in their 20s and they seem like they're got it a lot more together and cosmopolitan than I did. I I I really feel like I loved my 40s. I really, if I look back, I feel like my 40s, no matter what was going on in my life, which was a lot. Me as a human, I felt like I was really finding

Letting Go Of Perfection

SPEAKER_04 5:05

me in my 40s.

Leanna 5:07

This is definitely my best decade so far. I thought 30s was hard because I, well, first of all, I went through a divorce and you know, I've got I had teenagers and all that kind of stuff, but I just felt so unsure. I felt like I should be farther along. Like I felt like, oh, I should have already done some of these things that people were doing in their 20s that I hadn't gotten done yet. But now in my 40s, it is funny that she did. She was like, you just look so different. And I mean, that day I actually had my hair done and makeup on, and she's like, Your hair was always up. But I'm like, oh, okay. You know, I've lost a significant amount of weight, and just getting to be the best version of myself, mainly because I don't care anymore. But I think that that confidence comes across to people differently now, and it is a glow-up, right? It is a confidence builder because you you feel good from the inside, and I think that radiates.

SPEAKER_04 6:05

Well, I think things slip out of my mouth much easier now that I'm older.

Leanna 6:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 6:10

I'm less apt to not say how I feel about things or myself. Yeah. I don't know. I just I I just I think you get to a point. It's not that I've given up. I haven't given up. I just have so many other things going on that I'm just like, I'm not gonna not enjoy things in life because I'm stressed out about you know, the way I look. I'm not gonna go to the beach. I'm not gonna not go to the beach with my husband or go on a trip or go be with my friends or do these things because I haven't worked out or lost weight or hoot shaved or I don't know the variety of things that I have not done that's on my to-do list that's never gonna get done. I don't want to miss out on things because I'm not where I think I am. And I'm trying and like you just have to, I guess, age gracefully. I don't know.

Leanna 7:06

I think I'm realizing that people don't think about me as much as I think they do. Like if my eyebrows are not done, like if I haven't gotten them shaped, someone's not gonna be like, you know what? I thought I was gonna hang out with her. She's a really nice person, but did you see those eyebrows? Like, what is nobody pays attention to the stuff we pay attention to.

SPEAKER_04 7:28

No, you know. My husband tells me that all the time. All the time. He's like, you are so hyper-focused on certain things that nobody else sees or really cares about.

Adrianne 7:39

Yeah. I think we just get to that point that for so many years we were hyper-focused on it. But I do think I again as I get older, I know like I am never going to fit in a size zero, and I'm okay with that. And I know that I love yoga pants. Yes. And I'm okay to go somewhere in yoga pants where before I wouldn't even go to the mailbox if I didn't have lipstick on. And really. Oh yeah. I would not go out anywhere without makeup on and my hair done and dressed until maybe five years ago. Really? And I was like, you gotta just let it go. Like it doesn't matter. Like if I want to be comfortable, I'll be comfortable. But I was always so worried, and it never fails. I can look like I'm homeless and then I run into people. And then I'm like, really, the one time I decided to show up at the store homeless before. And then I'm like, really? This is the time you see me. But I've gotten to where I'm like, if you see me out and about, then you might as well.

Leanna 8:35

But I don't think I've ever looked at anyone and been like, oh damn, that's the outfit you chose.

Bodies, Aging, And Self-Acceptance

Leanna 8:40

Like, I just don't think.

SPEAKER_04 8:42

I think we're much harder on ourselves than than other people are on us.

Adrianne 8:47

Yeah. Yeah. They don't hype, they don't notice the things we notice or the things that I think are negative to me in my mind, are totally opposite with Terry. Like he'll be like, no, I love that. And where I'm like, no, I need to go and have this surgically removed. And you know, like all these things. He's like, you don't. Yeah. And I think so then as I've gotten older, I don't know. I guess I'll listen to him more. And he's like, You're married to me, and you could listen to my opinion. And I'm like, eh, whatever. But then I'm like, you know what?

Leanna 9:17

I don't care. It is fine. Yeah. So what are some things we do not care about anymore?

SPEAKER_04 9:23

I know you want me to talk about my knees. I've never heard anybody. I know. My knees are sad. And 6'6, and my knees are sad. And I even like told them I looked into that. There's tape, there's big sheets of tape that you can put on your upper thigh and you pull it up, and it makes your knees come up. Because how do you exercise your knees? That's just age. And for the longest time, I would take pictures with like skirts or shorts, and I would do this weird contorting. Like a knee, like almost like I was gonna do a squat, but not so that my knees weren't so sad. But now I don't care. I don't care. I mean, I can't do anything about it. I know that there's surgery. I don't care. I don't want to spend that money on that. That's my personal money. You yeah, you can go well, you can get the whole thing pulled up and done. Yes, look it up. You can do it.

Leanna 10:21

You have amazing legs, and I've seen that. We've we've agreed. Your arms and your legs, yeah. We're there.

SPEAKER_04 10:28

When I got pain on my legs from afar, it's fine. You know, the barn always looks good when you got a good layer of pain on there. That's what that tan stuff's for. No, but that's what happens when you get older. You know, like things are falling down. Falling down. Knees, elbows, elbow stuff, too.

Leanna 10:49

Oh my god. Oh, now you're giving me stuff to worry about because I'm like, I'll never zack. Do my kids.

SPEAKER_04 10:56

No, they just need more stuff. And you know what? I mean, at the end of the day, I can still walk to the beach and go out in the ocean, and I don't really care. I just have gotten to that point. I cared, you know what it is? For the longest time, I cared so much and was so harsh on myself. And when I look back at pictures, I'm like, what was I thinking? Yeah. Like I was rocking it for me. I mean, I've never, I mean, I used to work out a lot, but then I did. I've always I've had a love-hate relationship with working out. But I look back in every stage of my life, I was so hard on myself. And then when I look back, I'm like, what the hell? My mom said that to me a long time ago. She's like, you're gonna look back at pictures and you're gonna don't be so hard on the woman you are now.

Leanna 11:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 11:44

Because the woman you are now is the best woman that you can be. Because when you look back when you're older, you're gonna go, Oh, look at her. Yeah. So I just, and I don't, I I know when I was younger too, I I didn't go to things because I was worried about the swimsuit

Energy Over Appearance

SPEAKER_04 12:00

or this or that, or I don't know. I I guess it's just who cares? I, you know, I've got sad, sad knees. And now everybody's gonna look at my knees. I'll show them. I don't really care. There, I'll be the showgirl of the knee so that everybody else feels good about it.

Leanna 12:20

Anyone talk about anybody's knees ever? Boobs, butt, legs, arms, yes. Knees? Yeah. Never once. Well, I don't know.

Adrianne 12:29

We've never noticed your knees.

Leanna 12:31

No.

Adrianne 12:31

I'm sure they're well you're gonna know. Everybody's gonna be looking at my knees. We're all gonna look at knees now.

Leanna 12:35

No, I'm not kidding. I'm gonna buy that stretchy tape for you. I'm just wondering if my knees are young.

SPEAKER_04 12:40

You can't have the tape with the menopause, because then you get hot and then it'll be sweaty, and then you'll have one low knee, one high knee. You'll have all that stuff is silly. And you know what I think about our guys, like I'm so glad that our guys love us the way that they we are. Yeah. Because can you imagine dating? Like all of us, like guys do not have any idea what they're getting involved in with all the stuff that we have to lift and tighten and suck in and I was two weeks away from 40 when I met Jeff, or two months away from 40.

Leanna 13:11

That was very intimidating. Cause yeah, in 20, when you're 20, everything's where God put it. And then almost 40, and you had I'd had two kids and gravity, and it was it was a lot.

SPEAKER_04 13:26

There was lots of little things that I think you just get older and you don't care as much anymore. I mean, not care if that sounds bad, because you care. It's not like we're walking around like, you know, big Yetis and don't give a crap smell, but there's just, you know, there's things. What do you no longer care about?

Adrianne 13:48

What's on your list? Well, on our list that we had that I no longer care about. I like the one that we talked about. I don't care about all day long wearing my yoga pants or PJs if I'm at home. I I don't have to get dressed at all. And I'm my most productive when I look like I'm homeless. Yeah, but you're at home. Yes.

SPEAKER_04 14:13

You can do whatever you want.

Adrianne 14:14

Yeah. I won't I rarely go out without any makeup on. You guys, it's not that I don't care, it's just I'm very pale. And then everyone's like, you look so tired. And I'm like, I don't have makeup on. So I'm always like self-conscious on that part because people so I still care about that just because I'm so pale that it's so noticeable if I don't have makeup on.

SPEAKER_04 14:35

I just think how we show up with the like I know that I am very drawn to people that show up with great energy. Yeah. And like that supersedes all the other stuff. Because I've had people that I've met that just knock your socks off at whatever age, and then they come in with crappy energy or they're just not good humans.

Leanna 15:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 15:00

And I I just, yeah. I mean, I just think as we get older, we just are like, okay, what am I gonna focus on? Like, what's who who's gonna be the human that shows up today?

Adrianne 15:11

Yeah. I always like to focus on fun. Like whatever outfit I mind that makes me happy. Yes. Whatever hair color I've decided I want that month that makes me happy, I could care less. That's like someone doesn't like pink, someone doesn't like pink. It's a perfect example of that. Yeah, like I want Deb is our spirit animal.

SPEAKER_04 15:29

Absolutely. Yes, she's just always rocking the hair and the outfits and all the stuff.

Party Hosting Without Perfection

SPEAKER_04 15:35

Yeah. All the stuff, no matter what it is. And she is like the most fabulous. Yes. It's her personality, and she's happy.

Adrianne 15:43

I know. That's how I feel is I think we're getting there.

Leanna 15:46

I'm getting there.

Adrianne 15:47

I'll just speak for myself. What else is on our list? Because I can't remember. Um what is your opinion on laundry? So she had on hers that she doesn't care to throw it all in together. Like I could care less. I separate nothing. No. And I don't care if it says that it's dry clean, it is not. It goes in the washing machine, or we don't buy it. Or I'll buy a new one. Yes.

SPEAKER_04 16:09

It's like the tester.

Leanna 16:10

Yes. Okay. Were they serious that it doesn't really get washed? Or was that just like a suggestion?

SPEAKER_04 16:17

You know, I also think that a big part of like this is Kiryanne's therapy session right now. I used to have to make everything perfect, like having parties, doing this over the top. And I realized through time that like all the little things that are important to me were not as important to everyone else as opposed to just getting together. And I still do all of the little things because, but not as much. I'm just learning that like it's it's just not needed. As much is not needed as before. I think that comes with time. Because before I could never do a party without everything perfect and all the little parts and pieces, and name cards, and this and that and the other, and I've relaxed a lot in that way.

Leanna 17:03

I think it depends on who it is. Like we're doing something tonight, all all of us are getting together with our husbands. You'll come to my house, couldn't care less. The cleaners may or may not have been here today. Just happenstance, right? But if I don't know you that well, I'm the one that's like the baseboards need to be done. Or let's make sure that this over here that no one ever sees is perfect. Like I haven't really figured out how to let go of that perfection need when it comes to people that I don't know well.

Adrianne 17:38

I think we all will still do that part. You think? Yeah, I think that just because you don't know them and you're trying to make a good impression that they don't realize I like live with a bunch of dogs and stuff. But I think that too. I used to put out everything, like all of the dishes had to match and all and now if my family comes over for something, I mean they got paper plates, plastic forks. It it may still be in a box, I don't know. Like but where before I'd put it all out and it'd all be in cute little tubs. I've never I haven't taken those tubs out in probably four years in my garage because I'm like, it's just so much effort, and yes, it looks nice, but they all know me anyways. Yeah. And so not as perfection. I don't like it used to be on that stuff. But if I don't know you, then yes, then I will bring that, buzz that stuff out.

SPEAKER_04 18:23

Yeah. But I don't think we're unusual to a lot of people because I know that like especially going in circles with other women of all ages, it's it's really unique to get a perspective of what they think, like what they don't care about or what they have just decided

Time, Tardiness, And Priorities

SPEAKER_04 18:40

to lean into that just doesn't bother them anymore.

Leanna 18:44

I love how many I think she has the following that she has because there are so many of us that are just like, it does not matter, right? Yes. Um, I think one of them was like, I don't care if I'm late, your event started too early. Yeah. Like, or if it's if I'm trying to make double events, I'm not super worried if I'm late to one. Whereas before I would break my neck and try and speed through like trying to get, you know what? The party's gonna go on with or without me.

SPEAKER_04 19:14

Well, no matter what, but we're gonna, we're just gonna change through time. Yeah, we're gonna like certain things, not like certain things. Our bodies are gonna change. You know, so much is changing as we all age. Like I one thing I've learned from the seniors I work with is like you gotta literally enjoy you at whatever age and just be super loving to the you that you are at the time.

Leanna 19:41

I think I'm learning that now, and I'm learning when I see pictures of myself, even 10, especially before I lost weight when I was at like my heaviest, I would look at those and just honestly just berate my like how did I let myself get to this? Why didn't I, you know, blah, blah, blah. But now I'm realizing that that woman was so strong. You know what I mean? Like, she carried me through some of the roughest times of my life. And if extra weight was how I needed to get through that, like learning to respect every version.

SPEAKER_04 20:16

Yeah, she prioritized. I mean, you guys know I missed my hair appointment three times in a row, and my husband's like, Are we doing this? Are we doing the this like half my head on the top with silver? They got I'm tall. He's like, What are we what are we doing here?

Leanna 20:30

Does he care?

SPEAKER_04 20:34

My husband does not care at all. He just is he loves me, like even in spite of me. Yeah. You know, he loves the wrinkles on either side of the mouth and the crow's feet, and he just he loves he loves watching me age, and I hate it, but I lean into that. But he just wants, like,

Respecting Past Versions Of Ourselves

SPEAKER_04 21:00

the bigger part is he's like, Do you want me to just temporarily do your hair for you?

Leanna 21:04

Because you're you're knowing how to do that?

SPEAKER_04 21:07

Would he do it? Oh, yeah. I get my little stool and I sit in the middle of our bathroom and he puts his little gloves on and he'll do that for me. But he just wanted to know, like, what are we doing here? Like, what's happening here? Yeah. And I think those are the things that literally it's like, and my hair lady will call and be like, I can get you in. I'm like, I can't, I'm too busy. She's like, I'm sorry. I'm like, listen, my Vogue photo shoot isn't this week, so I'm fine with it. Like, literally, it doesn't matter. It's okay. Yeah, and I would never have done that before. When I was younger, I would have never done that before.

Leanna 21:42

I love watching my husband age because he does it unapologetically. Like, oh, see something? I'm like, hey, did you notice that? And he's like boys are different. Keep on going.

SPEAKER_04 21:50

Voice get better. Yeah. Because I know when I have looked back at some of the guys that I went to high school with, they are very different now. Than they were in high school. Like guys just are they age so much better. Yeah. Yeah. They do.

Adrianne 22:10

They do. I don't know. Maybe we're going to do it. I don't know. In my head, I was like, why do they age better? Is it they have less stress? Is it the way we handle life and kids? Or like we overthink things? Like, are we giving ourselves more wrinkles?

SPEAKER_04 22:23

I don't know. Have you ever seen old couples, older couples? Usually it's the the guy that's kind of popping around and the lady just looks angry. Angry, angry.

Leanna 22:34

But I think, you know, part of that I think is because we take so much on ourselves. We do. Jeff will be like, that's not mine to carry. That's that person's burden. Or that's this is the situation. This is how I can contribute. And if that's not good enough, well, that's all I and I'm over here trying to do cartwheels and you know somersaults to make everybody happy everywhere. And there is a reduction of stress. Not saying that he doesn't try very hard to make everyone happy. Because he does. He always puts his best foot forward. But he's been a member of the We Do Not Care Club since as long as I've known him, and probably before then.

Adrianne 23:08

So is mine. I would say I feel like Terry probably doesn't even know what he doesn't care about. It's just not even on his realm to say yes or no. It's just if it's not important. Yeah. And I was feeling like that. I'll be stressed about the kids on some scenario in my head. And I'll be like, I couldn't sleep all night, and he will have slept perfectly. And he'll be like, Why are you worrying about that? He's like, that's not even a that's not has it hasn't even happened yet. I'm like, but these are three scenarios that could happen. And I need to analyze how I'm gonna respond depending on each scenario. And he's like, so you lost all this sleep for no reason. And then the next day I'll be like, he'll be like, see nothing happen. I'm like, well, they're fine. It's fine. Yeah. It's just prepared in case. I run scenarios by Jeff, and he's like, What?

unknown 23:44

Who?

Leanna 23:45

Why would you who I didn't even know that was a thing to think about? He's like, I figured we would just deal with it if it came up. And I was like, How can you wait until it comes up? And he's like, because that makes sense. I'm not gonna do the crazy spiral thing.

SPEAKER_04 24:00

So I just think the We Do Not Clear Club is just wonderful because it just gives us a different perspective on ourselves that we don't

How Men And Women Carry Stress

SPEAKER_04 24:10

have to take ourselves so seriously. No. And to just live life because we're not unusual to other people. I think that's why, like when we listen to her and laugh, it's like, okay, yeah. Yeah. Pretty much almost everything that she ha will say. I'm like, yeah, one point or another, I have done that. I've I've taken my kids to school in clothes that if my car broke down, I would not leave it. It would be pretty bad.

Leanna 24:36

Yeah. Hey, if something happens to me, you need to get to me fast because I don't have shoes on, I don't have a bra on, and these shorts are way too short. So if anything happens, you need to be on it and stuff.

SPEAKER_04 24:47

So I don't know. I think it's interesting. I think it's, you know, we just have to be in a space of just being graceful as we grow older. Because no matter what, I mean, yes, there's surgeries for all those things, but you know, we can just be graceful to ourselves and and just be happy with who we are at the time.

Leanna 25:08

Yeah.

Adrianne 25:09

I agree with that. I feel like when you said about the photos, I think sometimes when I look back on photos and I'm like, wow, you looked so young and refreshed, or and then you think about all the negative things you thought back then to now, to like as we get older.

SPEAKER_04 25:21

Oh, yeah, I have a scrolling thing in our kitchen. And sometimes I'll catch myself and I'll be like, Oh, holy crap, that's me. When was that? That was last year. Like, wow. What happened in the last year? I got tired.

Leanna 25:36

Jeff and I think we just had this conversation the other day. We have these pictures and we look like babies. Yeah. Like we and I'm like, what happened? And he's like, I think honestly, the business.

SPEAKER_04 25:47

Yeah.

Leanna 25:47

And I mean, look at the president, right? The presidents always come in looking all like, and then the end of the four years, let alone age. Burn out. And I think being business owners, yeah, business owners, adult, or you know, kids who are adults, we've had grandkids. I mean, there's so many different things pulling at us 24-7. It has aged us.

SPEAKER_04 26:08

And Jeff is like, we need to stop. I think the I think the world sees it too, because I more than ever now you're seeing older models, you're seeing men and women with silver hair, you know, and they're not very old. You know, they're kind of leaning into that. You're seeing all different body shapes and styles, which is, you know, not making it so crazy for a bigger girl to wear a bikini, where before you, you know, it was now whatever. So I think the world is embracing everybody just aging and being, and you know, not all looking the same because we all went to the same doctor, not we like us. We didn't do that, but you know, like that kind of thing. So I think the world is embracing the fact that all of this stuff, sad knees,

Culture Shifts And Embracing Aging

SPEAKER_04 27:00

everything is is acceptable. I just of all the body parts, that is why I love you. I don't know. It's just true. It's on my mind because summer's coming. So the thing because I hate those shorts. Like you have to make a decision. You're either gonna wear pedal pushers, you're gonna wear what are those, capris.

Leanna 27:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 27:23

But we're at that age where if you wear a short that hits your knee, you look like something, some what happened. So you either wear like you don't want to wear too short, the middle of the thigh doesn't cover the knee. There's a whole bunch of shorts, decisions of how are you gonna roll with the summer.

Leanna 27:40

Awesome. When my knees get older, I need you to tell me because I'm not quite sure what an old knee looks like. I might be there already.

SPEAKER_04 27:47

Well, you've seen it. We've been at the pool or the spa or the beach together. You just never looked. I know, because I'm always looking at you to go, look up here, look up here.

Leanna 27:59

Oh my god, guys.

Adrianne 28:01

Okay. All right, so in the comments, tell us the things that you would love to care about to see what people don't care about.

SPEAKER_04 28:07

I would love that. Yes. Okay, please do that because that's fun.

Leanna 28:11

And thank you to the creator, the OG of the We Do Not Care Club for just taking down some of those stigmas and just reminding us that we are all more alike than we probably are different. Absolutely. Amen. Till next time, guys.
