Season three starts with a hello - or, in this case: a secret handshake. Childhood best friends Brian and Dimitri tell Mark what's kept their connection over three decades and across an ocean, which opens to a chorus of men exploring how greetings serve as the unique fingerprint of each best friendship. And did you think we’d start the new season off without some singing?! C’mon, you know us better than that.
