    Careening Off the Cliff of Perpetual Sadness

    Recorded on: 10 January 2026 Should friends make friendship contracts? Keenan and Halsted talk about unstated expectations and assumptions between friends, and what happens when they’re mismatched. Turns out we’re all winging it, as friends! Not-footnotes: This best friend contract includes “to once in a while sit in a field at sunset and do Sudoku puzzles together” which sounds quite nice to Halsted.Once again we talk about Robb Knight, Mastodon Celebrity™️: https://rknight.meWe never told you the joke.

    Neddy Ruxpin

    Recorded on: 9 November 2025 Show notes: A funny thing happened on the way to the topic: Keenan and Halsted found so many other topics, including cherished childhood mementos, the bass clarinet, and one particular cult TV show that formed their senses of humor. This is chaos. And so is their friendship! Not-footnotes: MST3KDuran Duran BriefcaseTeddy RuxpinThat Doctor Worm t-shirt      Get in touch with us at hifriendshipmaterial@gmail.com!

    And Now You’re Even Older

    Practice Non-Attachment, But Gimme a Fancy Soap

    Recorded on: 24 August 2025 Show notes: Keenan and Halsted don’t get excited about buying things anymore. What happened? Have their values changed?

    I Am the Anxiety Hulk

    Recorded on: 10 August 2025 Show notes: Crispy like broiled tomatillo husks: that’s how Keenan and Halsted feel right now. They’re past burned out, and self-care doesn’t fix broken systems.
