MIDMEN - Episode 22 - Lists and Rules - Why We Love Them and Hate Them
Why do we love ranking things? Why do we follow (or break) rules? In this episode, the MidMen dig into humanity’s obsession with lists, from Top 5 movies to Top 100 songs, and explore the psychology behind why we defend them like gospel. Then we flip the script and tackle rules — the ones we grew up with, the ones we break now, and the ones we enforce on our own kids. Are rules about discipline… or control?
Plus: a rapid-fire Top 3 Game with picks ranging from superheroes to fast food, guilty pleasures, and more. It’s personal, hilarious, and a perfect setup for our next episode — the long-awaited Top 100 Songs of All Time.
