We at Best Friends think you should have whatever pleases you! We discuss high-school retainers, having a cold during the pandemic, appropriate ways to use the flag, do some “would you rathers” including “would you rather be a reverse centaur or reverse mermaid?”, if wedgies actually happen in real life, and where their high school bullies are now. They answer listener question about how to better support a best friend going through hard times, when it is appropriate to step back and not help, and what to do with a plant from an ex-best friend.

Hello – is it me you’re looking for? This week we discuss Lionel Ritchie’s magnetic performance energy, who they would want to wrestle, accidentally drinking vodka at the gym, where all the Lyft pink mustaches have gone, if Nicole remembered to close the top of her Jeep, and how to call 911 in another country.
