In this heartfelt episode of The Unhinged Father, host Robbie dives into the bittersweet evolution of friendships as we grow older. Kicking things off with a hilarious (and slightly gross) parenting story featuring his two-year-old’s sass and a surprising request, Robbie transitions into a deeper exploration of how life changes—marriage, kids, careers—make maintaining old friendships challenging.
Through candid anecdotes, including the impact of a friend’s tragic passing and the lessons learned from those connections, Robbie reflects on how friendships shape us. He shares his thoughts on navigating the complexities of building new relationships as an adult, coping with the natural fading of some bonds, and finding gratitude for the moments that once were.
If you’re a parent, someone juggling the demands of adulthood, or simply reflecting on your own friendships, this episode will resonate with you. Tune in for humor, vulnerability, and a reminder to cherish the people who’ve helped you grow.
