MidThoughtCrisis
by Mid Thought Crisis
Mid Thought Crisis Welcome to the podcast born from a Mid Thought Crisis — that magical moment when your brain confidently sprints into a sentence, trips over its own shoelaces, and then refuses to explain itself. That’s basically our entire show. Eric and Chris catch up each week armed with zero agenda, unlimited side tangents, and the kind of conversational stamina usually found in toddlers who skipped nap time. Nothing is planned. Everything is accidental. And somehow, it all turns into a surprisingly entertaining spiral of half-formed ideas, questionable logic, and the occasional “Wait… what were we talking about?” If you’ve ever walked into a room and instantly forgotten why, congratulations — you already understand the vibe here. Expect chaos. Expect laughter (maybe only ours). Welcome to the crisis. We live here now. All the links: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http

Can We Talk About the Olympics?

If You Could Clone Your Dog...Would You?

Choose Love, Build Stadiums, Chase Emus

We Need to Talk About Greeting Cards
We start with a simple question that somehow turns into a full-blown investigation: Who decided greeting cards should cost $7.99 and why are we all pretending that’s normal? From there, things spiral — as they tend to do. We talk about the slow, awkward death of the traditional mall in some…

The Serial Pooper Was the Least Concerning Part
