Comedian, writer, and broadcaster, Romesh Ranganathan, joins Gabby to talk about how he’s learned to manage his inner critic in the years leading up to the midpoint; why he loves making people laugh; plus, the sometimes complex relationships you have with your parents, and how that can impact the way you parent.

Romesh also shares what happened at his worst stand-up gig, what he thinks is key to a happy, long term relationship, and why he believes small changes are the key to lasting health gains in midlife.

Gabby and Kenny are preparing to be fully fledged empty nesters, and in this special episode, they come together to talk about how they are feeling about the prospect and what they’ve already learned since their son, Reuben, left home last year.

They also chat about the exploits that have put Kenny’s midlife fitness surge on hold, as well as his internet shopping mishaps, and they indulge in a different kind of pillow talk!
