Tony Soprano says that “remember when” is the lowest form of conversation and Jay Shetty says that instead of relieving old memories we should be creating new ones.

April 09, 2024 #74 - The Outer Circle
We think of them as casual friends, work buddies, etc. But research has shown weak social ties are even more important than our intimate friendships and relationships that we have because they connect us to a wider world. We explore the important of what we call the "outercircle" on this week's MOTY.

March 27, 2024 #72 - The Big Sick
Getting sick is a bummer. Especially when you have an event you're supposed to go to or a friend that was relying on you. But sometimes you have to listen to your body! And also if you're "sick" when you were supposed to be at a friend's birthday party, maybe don't flood Instagram with photos of you out ;) We discuss the etiquette around when and how to cancel plans and more in this episode.

March 12, 2024 #70 - Boys Nights
A recent article suggests that men's health would be greatly improved if they had at least TWO boys nights per WEEK. We swear we didn't write the article ;) We're not sure if we'll be able to sell this to the general public, but let's discuss. Are we not getting enough boys nights?
Also, a listener asks what to do when one of the boys in a boys night is in a bad place, and might bum out the rest of the group who need the boys night just as much as he does?
