• DRAAKEE?! NBA Playoff Chaos & AI Robots Fix Dating | Midlife Crisis Ep. 53
    May 21 2026

    We’re back after a couple weeks off, and naturally, we came back with way too much to talk about. This week, we jump into the NBA Conference Finals, why the Thunder are easy to hate, Wemby’s playoff moment, Knicks drama, Lakers questions, and the refs making everything harder than it needs to be.

    Then we get into Drake dropping three albums at once, the instant internet reactions, Kendrick vs. Drake fan behavior, and why people attach so much of their identity to the things they love or hate. From there, we somehow connect that same idea to luxury watch chaos, Bumble trying to fix dating with AI, Gen Z bringing back hacky sacks, and the internet arguing over video game reviews for games they may or may not have actually played.

    As always, it’s sports, music, culture, random internet behavior, and two friends overthinking everything just enough.

  • London Marathon World Record, Competitive Seagull Sounds & NBA Playoff Chaos | Midlife Crisis Ep. 52
    May 1 2026

    This week, we cover everything from record-breaking moments to completely unhinged internet finds. We kick things off with the London Marathon, where history was made—and get into Nike losing its edge in culture. From there, it gets weird (in the best way) with a viral seagull impersonation competition in Belgium that somehow turns into a real conversation about talent and dedication.

    We also dive into the NFL Draft, early NBA Playoff chaos, and the ongoing debate around fans, athletes, and what it really means to compete. Plus, we run through the latest in pop culture—from TV and movies to gaming—before wrapping things up with our personal highs, lows, and what’s been hitting lately in real life.

    As always, it’s a mix of sports, culture, random internet gold, and honest conversations—just like a group chat with your closest friends.

    Apr 24 2026

    This week on Midlife Crisis, we kick things off with “What Hurts” and “What Feels Good,” from bad haircut trauma to meaningful family moments and discovering a new local baseball spot.

    From there, we get into Coachella—festival culture, FOMO, and whether it’s even about the music anymore. We also break down the news of Tim Cook stepping down and what it means for Apple moving forward.

    On the entertainment side, we talk Euphoria, The Boys, and why there might actually be too much TV to keep up with right now.

    We close things out with sports—NBA Playoffs reactions, WrestleMania takeaways, and a 5v5 draft of fictional basketball players you’d want on your squad.

    Just two friends talking life, culture, and everything in between—like the group chat, but louder.

  • The Masters & Life in Golf ft. Grayson Arellano (PGA) | Midlife Crisis Ep. 50
    Apr 16 2026

    In this episode, we’re joined by PGA pro and longtime friend Grayson Arellano to break down everything from the Masters to the deeper side of golf culture. We dive into Rory McIlroy’s legacy-defining win, what it really takes to compete at the highest level, and why golf might be the ultimate “game of life.”

    From inside stories at Augusta to wild moments at the Waste Management Open, Grayson gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the sport—from pristine fairways to chaotic galleries. Along the way, we talk about how golf has evolved post-pandemic, the clash between tradition and modern culture, and why the game still means so much to those who truly love it.

    Whether you’re a diehard golf fan or just getting into the game, this episode blends insight, humor, and real perspective on what makes golf—and competition—so addictive.

  • Mario Flopped, Kanye Delivered, Michigan Won It All | Midlife Crisis Ep. 49
    Apr 9 2026

    In this episode, we start off with everything happening this week—from Masters Week kicking off (good old Augusta National) to the NCAA championship and what’s going on across pop culture. We discuss what we’d serve at our own Champions Dinner, and talk about why the event is one of the most well-built brands in sports.

    From there, we bounce around a mix of topics—like the Artemis space mission and how it puts life into perspective, viral trends like the “Jessica” parenting moment, and even the reality of Olympic ticket prices now that LA 2028 is getting closer. It’s a mix of real insight and just reacting to what’s happening right now.

    We also get into TV, movies, and music—sharing thoughts on what we’ve been watching lately before shifting into some real-life conversations, including dating and how different (and honestly transactional) it can feel today.

    In the second half, we lighten things up with a recap of a recent concert, reactions to Kanye’s latest shows, and some funny internet and gaming moments. We also break down Michigan’s championship run and get into the chaos of watching big games in real time.

    We close things out with our “What Hurts” and “What Feels Good” segments—from losing AirPods in the most random way possible to small wins in everyday life—before wrapping with our personal picks for the Masters as our draft.

    Just a mix of sports, culture, and real conversations—like you’re right there in the group chat with us.

    In this episode of Midlife Crisis, we celebrate our one-year anniversary of the podcast and cover a little bit of everything—from pop culture and music to sports, tech, and life conversations in your 30s. We discuss whether people stand for the national anthem at home or not, talk about a lawsuit against social media companies, and discuss why vinyl records and nostalgia are making a comeback. We also review new music from Kanye West and Fetty Wap, talk about shows we’re watching, and get into AI changing video games and creative industries.

    On the sports side, we cover March Madness, Tiger Woods’ latest controversy, MLB opening day changes, and more. We also share some personal stories from a casino night, talk about getting older and thinking about mortality, and wrap the episode with a new game called “Guess That Year.”

    As always, it’s a mix of sports, pop culture, random debates, and life conversations—basically the same kind of conversations you’d hear in a group chat with your friends.

    Mar 23 2026

    This week we sit down with our longtime friend Mat Vasel — teacher, track coach, and King High School alum — to talk about coaching, teaching high schoolers in the modern era, getting older, buying a house, and realizing we actually have to warm up before playing sports now. A lot of laughs, high school stories, and a reminder that none of us really know what we’re doing — we’re just figuring it out as we go.

    We kick things off with the shocking news that Paramount has outbid Netflix in a massive $111B deal to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, potentially reshaping the future of streaming and putting franchises like DC, Harry Potter, and Game of Thrones under one roof.

    In honor of Women’s History Month, we highlight influential women in history and sports — including Serena Williams, whose dominance in tennis makes her one of the greatest athletes of all time.

    We also discuss:

    • Uber’s new women-only ride option
    • A dramatic LA Marathon finish that went viral
    • The internet backlash over Timothée Chalamet’s opera/ballet comments
