75: The heron that shits on the iceberg of your life

This is another strange one. Simon starts with a lie and they go from there to talk about, well, mid-life, merch, getting caught up in the ambitions of children and a not-quite-existential moment.

Warning: parts of this episode might not make sense if you haven't listened to Episode 74.
