The Comedy of Social Media

Fan Mail Me BrrrruuuuunnndenEver reconnected with a childhood friend on social media only to end up arguing with a stranger moments later? Join us for a humorous exploration into the peculiar realm of online friendships, where we take a light-hearted jab at those envy-inducing vacation photos and the curated perfection plastered across our feeds. We grapple with the irony of feeling more disconnected in this age of digital connection, questioning whether these virtual interactions truly bridge the gap or become a barrier in our relationships. From rekindling old connections to engaging in pointless online squabbles, we ponder the authenticity of the connections we make in the digital world.As we grow older and life gets busier, our social circles inevitably shrink, but does that mean our friendships suffer too? We question the legitimacy of calling someone a "friend" when the interaction is limited to an occasional like or comment on Facebook. What happens when these connections fade without meaningful interaction? We suggest a three-year mark as a potential cutoff for these virtual ties and reflect on how only a few online friends remain genuinely relevant. Join us as we humorously dissect the complexities of maintaining friendships online and urge a reassessment of who we consider true friends in this ever-evolving digital landscape.Support the showCome back every Tuesday for a new episode each week.
