The 40’s Project
Welcome to The 40’s Project. Join Abbie and Melissa, two self proclaimed middle-aged country chicks and their microphone “Phallic Phil”, for some real and raw banter about life after 40.
Episodes
It’s been a red hot minute but we blew off Phallic Phil to bring you another episode of the 40’s Project.
Among other things, Abbie put a silver lining around telling her son she was Santa and Melissa contemplated the situation of her vagina neck.
Love, loss and a giant Trump dump all squeezed into 30 minutes!

It’s been a long time, but Abbie finally got back to Bali - her happy place. In this week’s episode she shares her latest jaunt hosting “A Real Treat” and their incredible experiences.
The only thing she missed while she was in Bali was Melissa, who refused to sweat bullets into plus sized undies for some zen and cocktails. She is a grumpy bitch this week so maybe she should have gone.
