PSA: Rebecca took a Lorazepam before the show. Then, we all found out about frolfing (it doesn't mean what you think it means! we swear!). Here we go.

Adult friendships are hard. You know, like how the hell do you even make friends as an adult in the first place? Where do you find these people? And how do you keep up with each other?

From awkward social encounters to long-time internet friends, we cover all the different "friend tiers" (spoiler alert: there's a lot). We also share a lot of our own personal stories, including Jamie's Fight Club friend, Rebecca's hatred of anyone named Todd, and even the knock out, drag out fight we had with each other.

And don't worry, Burnouts—our episode on enemies is TBA.

Mentioned in this episode:

• Our Listen Notes interview
• That Chapter Podcast (Love you too, Mike.)
• That Chapter insurance dance
• Child snatcher scene from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
