You're My Best Friend

MultiMediaMouth Network

A podcast about Life, Friendship, and Tacos! Ruben and Moxy have been friends since the day they met (still fact-checking this), and through five years of professional music and personal friendship interactions - involving, mostly, tacos - they discovered their strong connection was not only entertaining to observe (from a distance, of course), but also provided an abnormally delightful on-air experience for the listener. After over a year of joking over tacos about starting a podcast, Ruben decided to take matters into his own hands on do it for real, focusing it on one core aspect of Moxy’s life: her friendships. Though she considers Ruben her best friend, she also considers her guitarist(s), her roommates, a few old homeschool friends, musicians at school, tacos, and some Mormon boys she met on a cruise ship 7 years ago her “best friends.” Ruben couldn’t stand for that. So, we suppose, the purpose of this podcast is to interview guests about their lives and professions, learn more about them, inquire about their favorite tacos, and ask them the question “Can you have more than one best friend?” Then, Moxy and Ruben will let the world in on their friendship as they discuss pop culture stories, play games, eat tacos, talk about big ideas, and, mainly, just be Moxy and Ruben.

    The One With 7 Years of Podcasting | E02S26

    What do floods, stolen chocolate, and a surprise legal threat have in common? Apparently… one podcast episode. This week, Ruben Jay and Moxy Anne dive headfirst into the kind of everyday chaos that sounds completely made up — except it all actually happened. What starts as a normal recording quickly turns into a storytelling spiral featuring a midnight apartment flood, thousands of dollars in ruined gear and cash, an international 12-ton KitKat heist, and a lawsuit threat that absolutely nobody saw coming. Yes. All in one episode. From soggy guitars and emergency cleanup decisions to wild conspiracy theories about missing chocolate shipments across Europe, the duo walks through their real-life disasters with sarcasm, humor, and the kind of honesty that only shows up when plans completely fall apart. Along the way, they also pull back the curtain on podcast lore — including the quest for the “first guest,” social media chaos, and the accidental creation of what may or may not be the greatest podcast intro of all time. It’s messy. It’s hilarious. It’s painfully relatable. But underneath the chaos is something real: how to survive unexpected disasters, why laughing sometimes is the best strategy, and how showing up imperfectly beats waiting for life to calm down (because it never does). If you’ve ever had a week where everything went wrong — or just want proof that someone else’s life is slightly more chaotic than yours — this episode is for you. 🎧 Listen now for stories, laughs, and a reminder that even floods and snack-based conspiracy theories can turn into legendary moments. Subscribe for more conversations, chaos, and real-life stories that somehow get funnier in hindsight.
