T says zero close friends is just being efficient

It starts with a thermostat fight over sixty eight degrees versus seventy two, T Bigl'n and Chud picking a petty hill before the real conversation even begins. The actual topic is male isolation and friendship, and their guest brings real data to the table along with his own experience navigating fewer close friends as he got older. T argues losing touch is an attrition problem, something you schedule around before it costs you, while Chud insists it's about the moments you let slip, like never calling his friend Marcus during a divorce. They also dig into how men bond sideways through shared tasks like trucks and lifts, and what that quietly offloads onto a marriage. Chud gives the episode its best line, telling listeners to just "say 'I miss you' out loud to someone who'll find it weird." T Bigl'n won the argument. Chud won the room.
