“Getting Old—What’s the Deal Here?” with Jeff Bridges & Eve Marko

“Yeah, well, you know, that’s just like, your opinion, man…” — and in this episode, Jeff Bridges lays down some serious Dude-style truth about aging.

Jeff reflects on his role in The Old Man, his time with Bernie Glassman, and his experience of illness and vulnerability. Together, Eve and Jeff explore what it means to surrender, to grow older, and to stay creatively alive.

🌀 “The Dude abides,” sure—but this Dude also reflects, loves deeply, and creates from the heart. If you’re into that kind of thing, this episode’s for you.

So take ‘er easy, grab your beverage of choice, and join us for a journey into the Tao of aging, creativity, and not knowing what comes next—but being cool with it anyway.
