Some people hate small talk. But frankly all of us could do a bit better and use it more as an opportunity to spark the beginnings of a friendship. Let's face it all friendships start small.
Matt and Karo come up with some guidelines for small talk. Let's face it, we all dread it sometimes, but maybe we need to reframe it. Every friendship starts small. So why not give ourselves the best chance to turn small talk into a big friendship. Karo and Matt debate what even qualifies as small talk.

The Knicks are not only winning but they are doing it with a group of long time bffs. Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart and Dante DiVincenzo aren't just teammates, they are old college teammates and bff's who now have a podcast called The Roommates pod. When they aren't competing with NBA players they are competing with us in the friendship space. We welcome the challenge. Seriously, we think are a great example of how male friendship should be and how it enhances their locker room and games potentially as well.

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.

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.

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?

Matt and Karo tackle an article about ritualized intimacy. It's not what it sounds like ;) Accountability partners are currently enjoying a rise in popularity because they offer something that is in dwindling supply – ritualised intimacy. According to psychologist Suzy Reading, "there’s a huge element here around social connection and shared experience. Having a buddy you check in with at regular times to share your progress can make such a difference, not just to your goals but to your wellbeing.”
So we discuss what the right arrangement is and how it fosters closer friendship. And we take a listener question to know when your accountability partner wants out or if they are just begging for more accountability!
