Episode notes

We’re diving headfirst into the rabbit hole on this one! 🕳️ Mike & Sarah tackle the age-old question: Can men and women really be just friends? Spoiler — yes… but only if both sides are mature enough to handle it. We’re unpacking everything from friendships and relationships to social roles, double standards, and how the definition of “acceptable” keeps changing.

Oh, and somewhere between debating emotional boundaries and social norms, Mike admits that YouTuber Caleb Hammer has turned him into a bit of a finance nerd — because numbers don’t lie, even if your budget does.
