Description:

This week on MidMen, Paul and Sean take a brutally honest (and hilarious) look at the stuff we’ve outgrown — from six-pack abs and political arguments to overpriced door unlocks and black licorice. What changed? Time? Kids? Wisdom? Apathy? We get into it.

Also in this episode:

• 🚗 “Get Off My Lawn” tackles outdated industries and dumb negotiations

• 🍭 “Be Yourself” takes on sweet treats, guilty pleasures, and candy you’re lying about liking

• 🧠 New game: Finishing Sentences — one word, deep reveals

By the end, we’re lighter… not in pounds, but in baggage.

MidMen – Episode 11: The Inspiration Episode

From Sheesh to Cindy Crawford: Inspiration, Nostalgia, and What It Means to Be You

What is inspiration — and where the hell did it go? In this episode, Paul and Sean dive into the strange mix of nostalgia, personal growth, and midlife reinvention that keeps them (and maybe you) moving forward. From dissecting Gen Z slang that breaks their brains to sharing first jobs, life-changing books, and pop culture moments that shaped them, this episode explores what it means to be yourself in the chaos of now.

Also in this episode:

• 👴 Get Off My Lawn – Yeet, Skibidi, and Riz make us feel old and confused

• 💼 Job Histories – Our weirdest gigs and what they taught us

• 🧠 Inspiration Deep Dive – From comics to military service to fitness to fatherhood

• 🎮 Instant Recall! – A new memory-trigger game powered by ’80s/’90s nostalgia

• 📚 Books That Changed Us – Real recommendations that left a mark

This episode is funny, thoughtful, and kind of like a time capsule cracked open by two guys trying to stay inspired, relevant, and real.

🎙️ MIDMEN - Episode 10

“Weird Stuff We Believe: From God to UFOs to Superstitions”

This week on MidMen, Paul and Sean dive headfirst into the strange, the spiritual, and the straight-up unexplainable. From personal beliefs about God and the afterlife to alien visitors, ghost stories, Bigfoot, and bizarre superstitions (yes, we knock on wood), the guys get raw and real about what they kinda believe… and what still freaks them out a little.

Expect wild tangents, deep reflections, awkward laughs, and totally unprovable theories.

If you’ve ever said “I’m not superstitious, but…,” this episode is for you.

In this special May the 4th (ish) episode, MidMen finally gives in to the Force. Paul is joined by long-time friend and Star Wars savant Brian Hall as they dive headfirst into what it meant to grow up in the golden age of Star Wars — from the original trilogy’s magic, to midnight showings of the prequels, to the avalanche of content in the Disney+ era.

They trade childhood stories about action figures, waiting in line for movies, and how their perspective has changed as they unpack how the Special Editions, Prequels, and Sequels shaped their generation. There’s honest critique, deep fandom love, and a few spicy takes on where the franchise is heading.

Also in this episode:

• Star Wars Trivia Showdown (spoiler: someone forgets a droid’s name)

• Would You Rather: Star Wars Edition — including the question no man dares answer about which Leia they "prefer"

• A debate on whether Star Wars can be saved — or should be left to fossilize in carbonite

Nostalgic, hilarious, and surprisingly insightful, this one’s for the Force-sensitive midlifers out there who remember the smell of a freshly cracked Kenner figure and still kinda hate sand.

Buckle up — we’re talking cars, chaos, and the open road.

In Episode 8 of MidMen, we take a ride down memory lane and talk about the vehicles that shaped us: our first rides, dream cars, what we’re driving now, and why every car has a story. From learning to drive to dealing with breakdowns and high-speed mishaps, this one’s a highway of laughs and nostalgia.

We also peer into the future of driving — electric cars, self-driving tech, and whether humans will even need a license in 20 years. Are we heading for a world of auto-pilot Uberpods, or is driving the last real freedom?

🛠️ The MidMen Advice Column – Where experience meets bold claims

Join us as we shift gears and coast into the conversation you didn’t know you needed.

This week on MidMen, we unpack the difference between a family trip and a real vacation — you know, the kind with sleep, intimacy, and zero ketchup stains. From surviving the chaos of traveling with kids to questioning the way we chase our dreams, this episode hits hard and laughs harder.

We also dive into the concept of bucket lists: are they just checklists for retirement, or maps to the life we actually want? Plus, a round of “Would You Rather: Bucket List Edition” that’ll make you question everything from your next vacation to your legacy.

Featuring:

• Fire-starting takes on modern parenting trips

• Real talk about what we’re still chasing

• Wild bucket list debates: Machu Picchu vs. Great Barrier Reef, book vs. film, solo travel vs. group adventure

🎧 Whether you’re dreaming about skydiving or just dreaming of sleeping past 6am, this one’s for you.

In this episode, we unpack the weird psychology of self-checkout lines and donation guilt trips in a new segment called GET OFF MY LAWN, then dive into the real question: Do we grow up, or just grow older? From 20s party stories to 40s chill vibes, we compare the lives we had to the lives we’ve built — and play a brutally honest round of “Would You Rather: 20s vs. 40s Edition.” We wrap up with what we’re watching and why it hits differently at this stage of life.

Equal parts funny, thoughtful, and weirdly therapeutic.
