On this episode of Underground Lounge: After Hours, the crew has a more vulnerable, grown-up conversation about what it really looks like to evolve. Lou kicks things off with a heartfelt reflection on how life is hitting different at 38, from body changes to shifting energy to a deep craving for more purpose, more clarity, and more peace. What starts as casual talk about the weekend quickly turns into a soul-searching session about growth, health, discipline, and the discomfort of leaving old versions of yourself (and some people) behind.

Holly and Spank weigh in with their own takes on aging, entitlement, friendships, and the challenge of defining what “fun” and “freedom” look like as you get older. Lou gets candid about walking away from the habits and environments that no longer serve him, even if they once brought joy, money, or security. He opens up about the loneliness of leadership, the burden of being “the one” everyone relies on, and the hard truth that “everything ain’t gonna make it” into the next chapter.

They talk gut health, fake friendships, party culture, the trap of being the one who always buys the bottles, and the pressure to go viral in the content game, while still trying to maintain authenticity. The trio doesn’t hold back on what it feels like to be caught between who you’ve been, who you want to be, and who you need to become.

Whether you're in your 30s reevaluating your circle, in your 20s building your habits, or in your 40s trying to figure out how to do it all better, this episode is for you. Raw, introspective, and still laced with the signature humor that makes After Hours feel like a real-life therapy session mixed with game night, this one is about growth. The scary kind. The necessary kind. The kind where you finally say: “It’s time.”
