Midlife Crisis or Just Getting Old? | Beards, Ego & Existential Dread

This episode starts off unhinged and somehow turns into a full-blown group therapy session.

Mark, John, and Tyler dig into aging, ego, and that creeping realization that you’re officially the age you used to make fun of. From midlife panic and identity crises to whether anyone over 40 can still be considered “cool,” the guys spiral in the most Talk Hard way possible.

We get into:

    •    Aging, midlife crises, and existential dread

    •    Mark questioning his life choices at 45

    •    John admitting he’s mentally still a teenager

    •    Tyler trying to mediate… and failing

    •    Beards, beard lengths, and why no one can get it right

    •    Listener call-ins with hot takes and chaos

    •    Chicago vs New York energy and road-rage etiquette

    •    Mark’s Movie Minute (Superbad), one of the last real comedies ever made

It’s honest, funny, self-aware, and exactly what happens when three guys realize time is undefeated.
