welcome to the most podcast where everything is great. you are welcome here!! episodes drop on random thursdays, so get yer heart right, catch up or revisit EVERY episode, and check out https://bit.ly/m/becomefriendswiththepod for all sorts of fun. we love you!!becoming friends with... is a funny, heartfelt, and slightly hazy longform podcast where four longtime friends—and delightfully weathered stoners—meander through the cosmic maze of adult friendship while gently dismantling macho nonsense and redefining manhood, one laughably profound tangent at a time.Each episode dives headfirst into everything from spaced shower thoughts to deep chats about movies, music, and masculinity. The first half? A delightfully chaotic, free-roaming conversation that pinballs between topics like late-night snacks, dad feelings, and philosophical detours. The second half? A deep-dive into a favorite film, band, or album that gets way more thoughtful than you’d expect from guys this high.With recurrin
