Midlifing
Two friends Lee and Simon have serious conversations about silly things, and silly conversations about serious things. Together they dig into the pleasures, absurdities and imperfections of being human.

187: A little bit of pre-marital sex to borderline orgy
It's hard to describe what this one's about. Just listen.
Things they discuss: Lee cutting half a yew tree (that has grown a lot), Simon's 40th at Riverford Farm, being old and unimportant academics, the foundations of Bob and Lee's house, youse as plural pronoun, the inaccuracy of language, splitting infinitives and Star Trek, mooching versus smooching (a clunk and Freudian slip by Simon), practice research, a soporific version of Midlifing (mixed in with practice research), Edward S. Casey's bimble, send Midlifing a text message, learning a language by listing all the words you know in that language, Commando comics, mistranslations, the concept of soaking, sex before marriage in Mormon communities, re-watching The Wire (mos def, you feel me?), if your name's not down (or Dan) you're not coming in, Pauline Oliveros and deep listening, Lee on fire (not literally), a typically absurd episode, Simon not hearing what Lee says, Joe Biden's performance in the debate, Ruby and Finn going out counting votes.
