Episode Summary:
Why is making friends as adults so freaking hard? I miss the days of playing together at recess and suddenly having a new best friend. Today it's all about scheduling time for lunch or super formal get-togethers. Where are all the friends at? Get your bottle of tequila ready because we are going to say "blue crayon" nine-hundred-eleventy-bajillion times.
Episode Transcript:
Show more...Gina: Dude, why is it so hard to make friends as an adult? When you are in kindergarten you ask somebody, “Can I borrow your blue crayon?” They're like, “yeah sure here.” Then on the monkey bars that day you're just automatically best friends. Why can’t adults do that?
Dawn: I don’t know, but I am seriously considering just carrying blue crayons with me everywhere I go now.
Intro Music
Dawn: So guess what this week is.
Gina: I don’t know.
Dawn: It’s number ten!!!!
Gina: It is episode ten. We are in the double digits.
Dawn: We are. High five. We did it, ten times!!
(Both laugh)
Dawn: I’m Dawn
Gina: I’m Gina
Dawn: And we are still your hot mess mama’s.
(Both laugh)
Dawn: That’s not ever gonna change.
Gina: No, not anytime soon.
Dawn: No it's not. And I personally think that blue crayons should be the new secret sign of momma needs a friend. (Laughs)
Gina: Yes.
Dawn: Can that be a thing? Can we make that a thing?
Gina: I don’t know but we can try.
Dawn: You have a big website; can we just make that to go viral?
(Both laughing)
Dawn: Be like, blue crayon.
Gina: So, it’s kinda like that tinder we talked about a couple episodes ago.
Dawn: We need Tinder in real life for a lot of things.
Gina: Is there a Tinder just for friends though?
Dawn: I don’t know, I don’t know.
Gina: There should be.
Dawn: There should be a Tinder app for mom friends that need mom friends, called blue crayon.
(Both laugh)
Dawn: I love that idea. Be like, “why do you have a blue crayon app on your phone?” “Don’t worry about it. Mom’s night out!!”
Gina: You’re a tech guru, you should figure…
Dawn: I’m not that guruy.
Gina: You can take classes at the community college.
Dawn: I don’t want to go back to college. I could make college friends.
Gina: College is a great place to make friends.
Dawn: But they would all be twelve. Then I would have to worry about things like, “you’re not old enough to drink. And you have a curfew.” I want a curfew because of my child, not because my friend is a child.
(Both laugh)
Gina: This is true, so true.
Dawn: It’s hard to make friends when you’re a grown-up adult human. They tend to come from two or three places. The people you grew up with, that you are still friends with. Like my friend Amanda, we have been friends since third grade, we met on the swings. Still friends till this day.
Gina: Aww
Dawn: Twenty-year reunion is coming up.
Gina: Wow!
Dawn: Yep long time. So, there’s Amanda that’s how we met, school. I have friends that I make through my child's activities. My sister actually told me once that my daughter being in girl scouts was doing wonders for my social life.
(Both laugh)
Dawn: Cuz I was making friends. I had to agree with her because it was. And then work. Those are the three adult places that people make friends.
Gina: Except the internet.
Dawn: That is true, but that’s a new one.
Gina: Yeah, it is.
Dawn: Relatively speaking. You know what I mean?
Gina: But you know, you and my BFF Angie, we met on the internet too. My two closet people, my two padres are, you guys are my internets.
