Ahead of the holidays, Stew and Zan discuss the male loneliness epidemic and being there for your friends in the context of a purported “friendship recession” over the last 30 years.
This is where we’d put a hotline number if this was the end of a 90s ABC sitcom that just aired an episode with a serious slant.
This episode IS serious although it starts very unserious. We just don’t know who you should call besides Stew, Ghostbusters, or the Lord.
Enjoy responsibly and PLEASE take care of yourselves. You don’t have to suffer in silence.
