They relate it to their own group chat going quiet amid travel, corporate demands, and a move out of Miami, and talk about how adult friendships should ebb and flow without judgment when both people are equally invested. One host describes a recent personal “purge,” stronger boundaries, and cutting off relationships that felt one-sided or transactional, while both emphasize friendships built on curiosity—notcomparison—last longest. They also roast expensive Miami nightlife (Amazonico) and prefer simpler, cheaper nights out, solo dates, earlier dinners, and experiences like seeing Evanescence.  00:00 Back From Hiatus 00:43 Why Friendships Fade 02:04 Chicago Crew Memories 04:11 Reading The Article 07:00 Life Changes And Flexibility 09:38 The Great Phone Purge 12:18 Boundaries And One Shot 15:52 Miami Nights Are Over 21:08 Delray Self Dates 22:46 Friendship Check Ins 23:37 Tessa Goes MIA 24:42 Choosing Solitude 25:34 No Judgment Friends 27:34 Solo Routines And Boundaries 29:56 What Saves Friendships 31:39 Millennial Friendship Shifts 35:43 Losing Friends Through Change 40:18 Lifers And Open Dialogue 45:20 Ebb Flow And Adulting 47:15 Carpe Diem Sign Off ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/dHXuP9Cq03XnZVKu4FotlXCbMAtUzB3JW0YrUyNjcc0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS82Yzcx/YjdiY2Q0ODM2Yjcy/NTEyMTE1ODk2Yzkz/YWE0Zi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
