BEING Trans: Reunion Special

Zosia Mamet is an obsessive person. So, naturally, she made a podcast about it. On her brand new podcast from Lemonada Media, OMG Obsessed, Zosia sits down with some of her favorite people to get to the bottom of the things they simply cannot shut up about. The comfort show they’ve watched 43 times. The skincare routine with approximately 11,000 steps. The niche internet rabbit hole they entered at 2 a.m. and never truly escaped. And Zosia brings plenty of obsessions of her own including a horse named Steven, interspecies friendship, her Peloton instructor’s divorce arc, tiny tomatoes that pop in your mouth, and the deeply compelling theory that geese are drones. She contains multitudes. And tabs. Every episode comes loaded with recommendations for what to watch, read, buy, try, and immediately become weirdly passionate about. Because no obsession is dumb. Concerning? Sure. Weird? Obviously. But dumb? Never. New episodes every Wednesday from Lemonada Media. Listen to and follow OMG Obsessed with Zosia Mamet wherever you get your podcasts.

With Gloria's sister-in-law celebrating her 100th birthday, the cast starts to think about what their own futures hold. Elise is thinking about her legacy as she pitches her company like her life depends on it at a big and potentially lucrative competition for entrepreneurs. Buzz realizes he needs to stop putting off formalizing his end-of-life directives, though he -- and his family -- have a hard time confronting the idea of death.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Henri reveals to Elise and Gloria that she has been living in a rundown and potentially dangerous motel rather than an apartment. She starts to explore other housing options when, suddenly, her search becomes far more urgent. Meanwhile, Buzz reconnects with an old flame and invites her to visit him in Los Angeles to see if they can rekindle their relationship, despite the thousands of miles of distance between them.

Buzz gets some troubling news from his doctor and starts to confront the realities of his physical limits, leading him to shop around for some new exercise experiences. But when he pushes it a bit too far, Gloria and Henri are not pleased with him. Meanwhile, Gloria learns more about -- and embraces -- some of the modern ideas of "youth today," such as legal marijuana edibles and ethical non-monogamy, and brings Buzz along to learn more about the polyamorous lifestyle at a gathering.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Meet Elise -- a 60-year-old optometrist and businesswoman, who also models and competes in beauty pageants. While she loves the world of pageants, tension abounds with Gloria, who views pageants as backward and toxic. Meanwhile, Buzz follows Gloria’s lead and decides to explore dating again. After receiving a few alarmingly racy photos and sorting through a few profiles on dating apps, he sets out on a date in hopes of developing a new love connection (and stocks up on some black-market Viagra, just in case).

Meet Henri, 62, a Chicago native who is reconnecting with a son she put up for adoption 40 years ago. Will she be able to answer the hardest question of all: Why did she give him up? Meanwhile, as Gloria continues to delve into dating as a senior, she finds that her past trauma with liars and cheaters has left her in a place where she doesn't trust easily -- or at all.

Meet Buzz, a 71-year-old former sales and marketing executive who drastically uprooted his life by moving out west to Los Angeles to pursue a lifelong dream of becoming an actor -- even if it means taking a job as a rideshare driver to make ends meet, and despite objections from his adult kids. And meet Gloria, a 71-year-old retiree with a past as spicy as her personality. As she looks back on her dating history, is it time to finally open a new chapter and look for love (or just a good time) by diving into the dating app scene?
