420 - Still True: Why Fun Is Not Optional

In this intimate 16-minute ride, Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh lean into an idea most of us feel but rarely articulate: fun isn’t frivolous — it’s foundational. What begins as a simple question about where “fun” fits into a packed life as physicians transforms into a soulful exploration of what makes us feel alive. Together, they trace joy from the mundane (a shared laugh while doing dishes) to the life-altering (rediscovering passion after hardship), arguing that fun is nourishment for the soul, not just momentary pleasure. They wrestle with the age-old trade-off of time for money, challenge the notion that productivity always trumps play, and remind each other (and us) that laughter, joy, and meaningful connection are not extras — they are essential ingredients for a well-lived life. By episode’s end, what started as a truth bomb becomes a gentle invitation: to chase fun not as escape, but as a compass leading toward a richer, more vibrant existence.
