In this episode, the dogs talk about Connor’s new “dumb” phone (0:55) and his experience living without an iPhone for the past ten days (4:30). Rob poses the question: “How many good friends are you capable of having?” (24:30) and the dogs give their own definition of true friendship (29:00).

 

Quotes:

“The iPhone isolates me and it makes me live my life and perceive the world through the prism of artificial reality.” (Connor, 5:04)

“(A friend is) someone with whom you have no qualms about sharing the entire contents of your heart.” (Connor quoting St. Aelred of Rievaulx, 25:25)

“I have a more general definition of friendship: someone who, if I was in a pickle, I could call and count on them.” (Mike, 28:55)

“I don’t have anybody with whom I have no qualms about sharing the entire contents of my heart, only God. God is my friend, but no one else.” (Connor, 30:21)

“You know how to follow the directions in the video game that is your life.” (Connor on GPS, 35:35)
