We all have regrets in life – but we don’t often talk about friendship regret – that falling out you never reconciled, that misunderstanding you never corrected, that old pal you never picked up the phone and called. This week Matt and Karo talk about how to deal with and avoid friendship regret. Also, vasectomies.

Matt and Karo give a scorching hot take. It's perfectly normal to move for a love interest, but it's really not at all discussed whether you should move for your friends. Matt chased after Karo in California and maybe you should move if your bff is elsewhere. It's at least worth debating.

They say dress for the job you want. Well we want you to do that, but for friendship. If you have an acquaintance that you want to be a good friend, start acting like they’re ALREADY a good friend. Share with them, check in on them, invite them out. In other words, fake it til you make it.

Most people make resolutions in various areas of their lives, vow to join the gym, which usually lasts all of 3 weeks, vow to save x number of dollars that we fall woefully short of while we rack up credit card debt, but very few of us include our friendship goals into our resolutions. We want to normalize that. So please include one friendship related resolution for 2025.
