I Want To Know

Today's guests are Matt Ritter and Aaron Karo. Matt is a screenwriter and comedian, but most importantly, part of one of the greatest friendship traditions of all time—an annual dinner at Peter Luger Steak House with the Stanley Cup-size trophy that has sustained 35 years of friendship. It's actually become the subject of his new podcast, Man of the Year, which he hosts with fellow comedian and best friend, Aaron Karo. There's an epidemic of loneliness in the country, and these two friendship experts are here to fix it by helping you make new friends, reconnect with old ones, or build your own friendship traditions.

You can also find Matt on Twitter and Instagram @mattritter1, where he is usually posting about his French bulldog. He's pretty sure he's also the only person who ever worked at a white shoe law firm and on Duck Dynasty. Aaron is a comedian and screenwriter who has had a Comedy Central special and written six books. He's also the author of the #1 New York Times bestselling self-help book with the Try Guys. Prior to his career in Hollywood, he spent one year at Morgan Stanley, hiding out in the cafeteria.
