Summer Camp Crunch: Why Parents Are Paying More Than Ever

The Best and Worst Things About Your 40s

Your 40s arrive quietly—and suddenly everything feels different. This week, Mike and Andrew get personal as they compare notes on what they love (and hate) most about entering their 40s: confidence, freedom, soreness, perspective, hangovers, friendships, sex, shifting priorities and having no fucks left to give.

Diabetes, Heart Attacks and ED: Guys Need to Pay Attention to What they Eat

Midlife changes the relationship people have with food. The habits built over decades suddenly collide with slower recovery times, stress, weight gain, inflammation, and the creeping realization that the body no longer quietly forgives everything. Suddenly, boredom snacking, stress eating, emotional habits and social pressures force us to re-examine everything we put into our mouths. In this week's episode, Mike and Andrew sit down with health coach and fitness trainer Andrew K. Duffy to unpack how nutrition affects us in midlife and why most people still struggle to make lasting changes even when they know what they “should” be doing.

What Do 40-Year-Olds REALLY Do for Summer Fun?

A seventh-grade teacher asked students what 40-year-olds do for fun, and the answers were brutal (and a bit accurate): pickleball, Facebook, grilling (true); counting coupons, watching black-and-white TV, and yelling at kids to get off the lawn (questionable). The question got us thinking: What do midlifers REALLY want to do this summer? Answer: pool hangs, home decorating, getting in shape.... and, yes, a little pickleball.

Summer Camp Crunch: Why Parents Are Paying More Than Ever

Summer used to feel simple—long days at the pool, neighbourhood freedom, and affordable camps that filled the gaps. Now, it’s a logistical and financial nightmare. Costs for day and overnight camps have surged beyond inflation, leaving families scrambling to piece together childcare—sometimes even going into debt to pay for six weeks of summer camp that cost more than a car. What was once a shared universal experience is increasingly becoming divided between the haves and have-nots. Is there an end in sight?

The Sandwich Generation: You Could Be Paying $10,000 a Year on Caregiving

Research confirms it: the Sandwich Generation (ages 40-55), taking care of both kids and parents, is being squeezed like never before. With out-of-pocket costs climbing to roughly $10,000 a year and time demands exceeding 1,300 hours, caregiving is quietly reshaping careers, finances, and daily life—especially for women. This week, to cap off our series on personal finances, Mike and Andrew focus on practical ways to ease the burden. Afraid of asking for help from friends and family? Get over yourself. Look for underused public resources for seniors. Look into your employer benefits and flexible scheduling. Without more openness and shared responsibility, the stress will only get worse.
