Mid-life crisis, existential crisis, epic freakout…. whatever you want to call it, we’ve all had one or more.

As we get older, we start to feel like a used car with nagging injuries: "I can’t run today because my knee, my achilles tendon, my shoulder.." Whatever the case may be.

He shares with us what he carries in his backpack - a cumulative knowledge base of shit shows that have perfected this perfect balance of not too much and not too little in the backpack.
