Loose Threads is a podcast about the questions worth pulling on. Each episode, Chris and Nick work through an idea, an argument, or a question that doesn't have a clean answer. They disagree, push back, concede, and rarely resolve. Conversations are short, honest, and meant to keep going in your head after the episode ends. Topics range from late-night thoughts to founder questions to philosophical disagreements that have outlived their original arguments.

Who Are You Trying To Prove Wrong 25.07.2026 9mThere's one person you're still trying to beat. they don't know it's a competition.Most people can name the moment someone decided who they were going to be. a comment, a comparison, a certainty that wasn't cruel, just certain. and then a life built quietly as the reply.This episode is about the race with one runner. the scoreboard you didn't write but still keep. the anger that never got spoken and turned into effort instead. and the question underneath all of it: if you took that person out of the engine, what's left in there.no lessons. no resolution. one test at the end, if you want it. -
Do You Actually Know What You Want? 14.07.2026 10mThere's something you've been chasing for years. You've never once asked where it came from. It was just there one morning, wearing your voice, calling itself your ambition, and you went to work for it.Chris and Nick sit with the question everyone thinks they've answered: what do you want? Not the answer you give at dinner. The one underneath it, the one that was decided long before you were old enough to be consulted.Loose Threads is a conversation about the things we do and don't say. Episode 5. -
Why Are We So Afraid Of Being Boring? 08.07.2026 7mYou said "yeah, good" when someone asked about your week. You don't remember the week. You've told four people you watch a show you gave up on after two episodes. There's a trip you've been planning for a year. There is no plan.Chris and Nick audit the small performances, the modulated answers, the borrowed opinions, the evidence we build so that when we ask ourselves the question, there's something to hold up. It goes somewhere neither of them can get out of.Loose Threads is a conversation about the things we do and don't say. Episode 4. -
Do You Actually Like Your Friends? 27.06.2026 8mThere are people in your life you wouldn't pick if you met them today. You see them anyway. Chris and Nick take on the audit honestly, and then the word "draining" that does so much work to justify it. Halfway through, the question turns. If you can quietly let someone go, who's quietly letting you go Episode 3. About the difference between a friendship ending and a choice nobody wanted to admit they made. -
If Your Dad Stopped Watching 23.06.2026 12mIf you stripped away everything your father ever wanted for you, the standards, the disappointments, the bar he kept moving, would there be anything underneath that you'd still call ambition? Or would you find a quiet person you've never met?Nick is twenty-two and can't answer that question. Chris is forty and thought he could, until Nick caught him bluffing. They talk about the wall sons build, the relief that gives you away, and the possibility that the pressure didn't damage you, it built you, and the parts you most want to keep are the parts you can't separate from the man you keep meaning to call.Most episodes try to give you an answer. This one will give you something worse: a question you can't stop checking against your own life -
Should You Trust Your 3 A.M. Thoughts? 20.06.2026 6mWhy do the thoughts that show up at 3 a.m. feel more honest than the ones you have during the day? And should you actually trust them?Chris says yes, mostly. The late-night mind drops the daytime performance and surfaces what you've been avoiding. Nick says no. The brain at 3 a.m. is sleep-deprived, cortisol-flooded, and bad at telling the difference between a real problem and a misfire.They argue it out, push back on each other, and end up somewhere neither of them expected.
