Monsters of the Midlife!
Welcome to Monsters of the Midlife!—the podcast where four guys from Chicago in their 40s come together to unpack the chaos, the comedy, and the curveballs of this stage of life. We’re from different backgrounds and perspectives, but we’re all in the same boat—figuring out relationships, careers, family, and the world around us while trying to stay (somewhat) sane.
No topic is off the table—politics, parenting, dating, aging, or just trying to make peace with the guy staring back in the mirror. We keep it honest, a little gritty, and just vulnerable enough to remind you you’re not alone!
Remember, Midlife isn’t a crisis. It’s an adventure!!
