Guest: Chuck Nice — comedian, lifelong science lover, and long-time co-host of the award-winning StarTalk Podcast with astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson (@startalkradio)

Hosts: Dr. Kate Schuh White & Jay White, LMFT

This week on Heads & Tails, we welcome the incomparable Chuck Nice, whose rare blend of insight, science curiosity, and razor-sharp humor makes him the perfect guide through the messy, magical middle of life.

Together, we dive deep into midlife's biggest questions — with equal parts honesty, heart, and hilarity:

🎭 What it's really like to be in a relationship with a comedian

The charm, the creativity, and the moments when you wonder if the joke will ever end.

🔥 Why midlife women are the most desirable partners you'll ever have

Confidence, competence, clarity, and an unapologetic understanding of who they are.

🧬 Biology meets psychology meets comedy

We unpack the physical and emotional shifts of midlife — with Chuck translating the human condition into stories that make you think and laugh.

🧠 How mental health struggles can open life in unexpected ways

Chuck shares how facing his own challenges expanded his purpose and deepened his relationships.

📡 And yes — science!

As the long-time co-host of StarTalk with Neil deGrasse Tyson, Chuck brings his signature "just smart enough" humor to aging bodies, changing brains, and the cosmic perspective on growing older.

This episode is honest, heartfelt, and ridiculously fun. Chuck brings the comedy. Kate brings the biology. Jay brings the therapy. And midlife finally gets the three-dimensional conversation it deserves.
