In this gripping and emotionally raw episode, the MidMen confront the shockwaves of Charlie Kirk’s assassination — not just as political observers, but as men, fathers, and believers navigating a fractured world. What begins as a reflection on Kirk’s complex legacy and the disturbing reactions to his death quickly evolves into a deeper, more personal conversation about faith, God, and the unseen forces that guide our lives.

Paul and Sean peel back the layers of their own spiritual upbringings — the doubts, awakenings, struggles, and moments of divine intervention that shaped their journeys. They open up about how faith has anchored them in chaos, and what it means to believe in something bigger than yourself when the world feels like it’s burning.

No games. No gimmicks. Just two men laying it bare in a time when truth feels dangerous and hope feels distant.

This is MidMen — raw, real, and searching for light in the dark.

Why do we love ranking things? Why do we follow (or break) rules? In this episode, the MidMen dig into humanity’s obsession with lists, from Top 5 movies to Top 100 songs, and explore the psychology behind why we defend them like gospel. Then we flip the script and tackle rules — the ones we grew up with, the ones we break now, and the ones we enforce on our own kids. Are rules about discipline… or control?

Plus: a rapid-fire Top 3 Game with picks ranging from superheroes to fast food, guilty pleasures, and more. It’s personal, hilarious, and a perfect setup for our next episode — the long-awaited Top 100 Songs of All Time.
