Is time speeding up, or are we just busier than ever? In this short but deep episode of Our Friendly World, Fawn and Matt explore the mysterious sensation that time is slipping through our fingers. From conversations that fly by in an instant to childhood memories that feel strangely recent, Fawn shares her intuitive sense that something much bigger might be happening—a spiritual or quantum shift in how we experience time.

Matt offers a more grounded perspective, diving into how multitasking and modern life might be contributing to our sense of time distortion. The result is a heartfelt, funny, and slightly philosophical conversation about aging, staying flexible (in body and mind!), and learning to go with the flow—even when life feels like a fast-moving current.

Whether you're a Trekkie, a time skeptic, or just someone who wonders where the week went, this episode invites you to reflect, stay chill, and ride the wave of now.

"What Is Cool, Really?"
In this candid and fiery episode of Our Friendly World, Fawn and Matt deconstruct the elusive concept of “cool” — from childhood memories of Snoopy’s Joe Cool to painful moments of judgment in adulthood. Fawn opens up about a recent voiceover experience that triggered old wounds from the photography world, where she was dismissed for not being “cool enough.” The conversation dives into how perceptions of coolness limit friendships, fuel imposter syndrome, and distort how we see ourselves and others. Matt shares his own vulnerable moment of thinking Fawn was "too cool" for him — and how love, presence, and humanity break through those false beliefs.
This is a raw, empowering episode that challenges societal norms, reclaims identity, and reminds us all that cool can't be defined — because authenticity is the real power.
