S4 Ep. 10 - Can Men and Women Stay Just Friends A Funny Honest Conversation About Platonic Love

In this episode of Friends Without Benefits, we dig into one big question we get asked all the time. Can men and women really stay just friends? As two longtime friends who have never crossed the platonic line, we share our real life experiences, laugh through listener shoutouts, and talk honestly about friendship, attention, and what it means when people actually miss your podcast during a break.

From comedy shows in Miami and supporting friends on tour to awkward small talk with strangers, fast food conspiracy theories, and the mystery of why smoke detectors always beep at the worst possible times, this episode is classic Friends Without Benefits energy. It is unscripted, funny, and full of the everyday observations that turn into big laughs.

We also touch on why feeling seen by listeners matters, how humor connects people, and why sometimes the most meaningful relationships are the ones without expectations attached. Pull up a chair and hang out with us as we figure it out in real time.
