I am SO glad you got Santino on this. To be in the same calibre of guests as you've had already, and I'm guessing some of the superstars to come, it's fantastic. He's such a good podcaster, a really good actor in whatever movie or show you catch him in, and of course an amazing stand up. His special was hilarious. Sounds like he's paid me to write this lol but I'm honestly just that much of a fan.

Adult criteria for friendship: 1) You like each other 2) You trade contact information 3) You interact outside of the initial context under which you met A person who only meets 1 and 2 can be a contextual friend, but not a general all around friend. For example, you know someone at the gym, you two get along, have traded phone numbers and even call/text regularly BUT you only ever see each other at the gym; that's your gym friend, not your friend friend. You start doing other things besides the gym with your "gym" friend, now you are "friend" friends

Very refreshing! This is most serious I've ever seen Santino be on anything, and I'm all here for it, it's comforting to see people you think don't suffer from the issues they discussed, which myself and many others struggle with, and yet these people still get on that stage, in front of these podcast cameras and do their thing.

Agreed! (about your sentiment in general; have not seen that movie) I think we've bastardized that word with the advent of social media, and this conversation breathed a bit of life back into the guts of it. Whitney Cummings asks EVERY guest on her podcast, "are we friends?" and I think that's self-serving and disingenuous. There are all kinds of people I like just fine but aren't friends with, per se. And like, that's okay.

I love this conversation because I tell people all the time Friendships in Adulthood are extremely valuable. Therapist here and I really stress that friendships when you are an adult are very important. Especially when you are married (because they can fall away but they help you stay grounded, sane, affirmed, and connected to yourself outside of your spouse/kids). And when you are single they can fill that void which brings you loneliness. "It takes a village" isn't just for raising kids. It's for being a human. We need all types of relationships in our lives. I'm really happy dudes are talking about friendships and the emotional toll it takes. It's human and more dudes need to verbalize that they need friends as much as women do. Great conversation.

The friendship stuff really made me think about things. I’ve struggled into my 30s with the fact that the guys I grew up with and spent so much time with have faded away. I feel like I have tried to make an effort to connect and reach out and hang out, but it just never lines up for whatever reason. And I sit here realizing I have very very few friends. There are guys who I see making an effort to connect with me too, but at some point why am I trying to force a connection when I clearly don’t mean as much to them as they did to me… I feel like there are a million excuses that get in the way but if you want to get together and spend time, it will happen if there is mutual love and respect. Very interesting.

The realization of who's a friend and what friendship is so difficult and different as I've grown up. In grade school I thought i had a couple friends, but when I went to high school none of them really ever talked to me. So you realize they never were your friends and I only had 2-3 people in life as actual friends. Also how friendship changes and what it means to you as an older person versus a young person. Can be very dramatic

When you first came back onto the scene after Chapelle, I'll admit I was enamored with your role in his show and as his friend. Then I watched a change in you that I couldn't understand. I don't think i was mature enough to get it. Now having learned about your experiences and me being a 40 year old man, myself, I completely connect with your wavelength as both a comedian and a friend/ host. I never tried my hand at official comedy, but I've always been adjacent. Something about your lane has awoken a spirit with me that I can't explain. Loving what you're doing.

"Block #1: People who have no concept of other people's space and time." I've never heard anyone else talk about this before. I've tried explaining it to others and no one ever seems to get it. The need to be uber aware of everyone around me and making sure I'm not in anyone's way or a hindrance to anyone. Yeah, it's gotten so uncomfortable for me in public that I have to psych myself up just to go to the grocery store. Example: Many years ago, I was in line with my sister (doesn't matter where). I stepped to the side to tie my shoe and gestured to the couple behind us to go ahead and step past me when the line moved forward. I finished tying my shoe and stepped into line behind them. That action makes perfect sense to me. Had there been more people in line, I would have gotten back in line behind them. Eventually, the guy turns around and politely gives me permission to move back up to where my sister was. It was an awkward moment for all involved (including my sister). I want to believe the couple understood I was trying to be courteous, to a fault, sure, but courteous, nonetheless. I have a feeling they didn't get it, though. My sister certainly didn't.
