Mid Thought CrisisWelcome 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 walk...

We Need to Talk About Greeting Cards
Jan 07, 2026

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 regions of the country (how it's thriving in others), why food courts were secretly holding society together, and how outlet shopping somehow became just regular shopping with better lighting.

Then we pivot (hard) into movi...

The Serial Pooper Was the Least Concerning Part
Jan 01, 2026

This episode starts with us talking about the podcast itself and immediately proving we still don’t have it fully figured out.

From there, things take a hard left into winter hunting, family life chaos, and a story that raises more questions than answers involving a serial pooper at a golf course (yes, that’s a real thing and no, we don’t get closure).

Somehow we also get into AI and digital marketing, sports fights that feel way more dramatic than necessary, and why Bobby Bonilla is still getting paid to exi...

Chicken Opinions No One Asked For
Dec 24, 2025

This episode opens with technical difficulties, which is impressive considering we’ve done this before and still haven’t learned anything.

From there, we immediately abandon any structure and drift through dog stories that were absolutely not funny at the time, family life updates no one asked for, and the kind of conversations that start with “real quick” and somehow last an hour.

Food becomes the main character. Specifically chicken. Florida has a ton of chicken places, most of them rely on sauce to do the heavy lifting, and we develop strong...

We're Not Doctors but That Seems Bad
Dec 17, 2025

This episode starts exactly where all good ideas do:
mid-thought and with zero planning.

We bounce from questionable survival stories to “how did that guy not realize he was injured?” territory, with plenty of side commentary about how the human body is both wildly durable and incredibly dumb.

There’s a bar fight, some delayed medical realization, a lot of “how is that possible,” and the usual spiral into realizing life is chaotic and we’re all just doing our best with bad information.

Nothing too...

We Started With Eye Pain and Ended With Designer Babies
Dec 12, 2025

Chaos • Mild Wisdom • Mid-Thought Spirals

In this episode, Chris and Eric bounce between topics the same way Florida drivers bounce between lanes with no turn signal. We kick things off with some personal health updates — including an eye situation that may or may not involve Eric diagnosing himself with WebMD-level precision.

From there, the guys slide straight into Thanksgiving family chaos, complete with questionable driving decisions, emotional landmines, and the annual reminder normal is just a setting on the washing machine.

The conversation then takes a hard left turn into <...

episode 1 - the warmup we should have practiced
Dec 09, 2025

For our debut episode, Eric and Chris waste no time proving we have absolutely zero interest in staying on one topic. We kick things off with historic speeches and why some of them still hit harder than anything being said today.

From there, we drift into life updates, our favorite movies, and the TV shows currently occupying the little free time we have.

Naturally, things take a turn. We talk about Maryland’s state flag (which still looks like a medieval battle banner), swap parenting war stories, and pitch a completely qu...
