Recorded on: 6 July 2025

We talk about how why we sometimes feel lonely even when surrounded by wonderful people. Halsted doesn’t cry over a post-it note in a library book. Keenan edits The Note.

And then we really piss off the scuba-diving community.

Not-footnotes:

• Big Friendship: How We Keep Each Other Close by Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman
• Dunbar's number: Why we can only maintain 150 relationships

Scuba divers use diving weights. Not anchors.

Show notes:

One of Halsted and Keenan’s first interactions was bonding over their shared personality types: INFJ and Enneagram 4. So they talk about them!

Do personality types make us feel seen? Do they help us understand how we act and interact? Are they helpful (and unhelpful) shorthand?

Not-footnotes:

• Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
• The Enneagram: A Primer for Psychiatry Residents

Show notes:

We warm up with some meta chat about podcast recording and editing, plus musings about our shared conversational style. Because our friendship is podcasted and our podcast is friendshipped.

And then Keenan asks Halsted, “What’s the deal with your name?”

Not-footnotes:

• Elite Dangerous

Show notes:

We’re creating a friendship, but we’re also creating Content. (Keenan really hates that word.) We definitely don’t talk about late-stage capitalism.

So we don’t have a plan for this episode (or this podcast, or this friendship). We may be outside our comfort zones and that’s not terrifying at all!

And then we approach a Big Topic and talk about it. Like new friends do!

We interrupt our regularly scheduled program to reflect on the response to the recent launch of the show.

Topics include, but are not limited to: abject terror, unyielding gratitude, Mastodon Celebrity Robb Knight™

This is where it all began! We talk about how we were orbiting each other on Mastodon before Halsted jumped in and said, “Let’s record a podcast!”

We discuss how similar we are! And how different, too. We learn about what our friendship dealbreakers are, and our distinct approaches to what we write.

But who has the higher Mastodon Celebrity Status™️?

Not-footnotes:

• Robb Knight, Mastodon Celebrity™
• The omg.lol Mastodon server
• Dirty Baja Blast
