A listener (Ben?) begs Andrew and Adam to retract their claws. 

TODAY'S QUESTION:
Dear Ben and the other two,

Every week, I have a great time catching up with this group of 3 guys who've been friends for a really long time. However, lately, I've become worried about their friendship dynamic.

Because they've been friends for so long, they've become quite accustomed to giving each other a hard time and it used to feel like harmless fun. But lately, I've noticed that two of the friends (let's call them the old one and the pretentious one) have been teaming up to go after the other one (let's call him the cool one) about things like how great he is at Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or how sexy he looks in leather pants. They've even gone so far as to spread preposterous, malicious rumors about him, like that he's the "King of piss-play" or that he was a member of the American alternative rock band Dishwalla.

Now to any impartial observer, it's easy to see that the old one and the pretentious one are lashing out at the cool one because they're jealous of his many incredible talents, but instead of putting in the work to try and get on his level, they just sit around and jerk off each other's little dinks all the time.

So, I'm just wondering if I should speak up and call out the abhorrent behavior of the old one and the pretentious one in some way? Or should I stay out of it and let things run their course knowing that one day, the whole world will finally appreciate the greatness of the cool one and the other two will slowly wither away into obscurity and shuffle off this mortal coil with jealousy in their hearts and profound regrets in their souls?

Anyway, first time writer, long time listener. Thanks for taking my question!
