What this is

Part nostalgia trip, part emotional check‑in, all good vibes

becoming friends with... is a funny, heartfelt, and slightly hazy longform podcast where three longtime friends—and delightfully weathered stoners—meander through the cosmic maze of adult friendship while gently dismantling macho nonsense and redefining manhood, one laughably profound tangent at a time.

Each episode dives headfirst into everything from spaced shower thoughts to deep chats about movies, music, and masculinity. The first half? A delightfully chaotic, free-roaming conversation that pinballs between topics like late-night snacks, dad feelings, and philosophical detours. The second half? A deep-dive into a favorite film, band, or album that gets way more thoughtful than you'd expect from guys this high.

With recurring segments like "Coffee Songs", "Hi, Thoughts", "Tales of Video Library", and hilarious hijinks involving weird AI-generated images, becoming friends with... is part nostalgia trip, part emotional check-in, and all good vibes.

Whether you're here to laugh, reflect, or just feel a little more connected, this is the podcast for dudes who cry at movies and laugh at fart jokes—and everyone who loves them.

Recurring bits you'll run into:

Coffee Songs
Hi, Thoughts
Tales of Video Library
The Gripe Line
