Picture it: Two cavemen huddled near a fire. They're wearing cheetah-skin loincloths. They're exchange grunts roughly translated to, "I don't know, man. Can cavemen and cavewomen really be just friends?" Tune in to this episode of Dear Bestie to listen to us tackle this complicated, messy and age-old question. We'll visit some unexpected places along the way!
