Friendship in adulthood can feel like a paradox—at once more elusive and more essential than ever. In this episode: Did We Just Become Best Friends?! Clifton and Shay get real with their guest Katy about what it actually takes to form and sustain meaningful friendships later in life.

Katy’s story is equal parts funny and relatable. After ending a six-year relationship and realizing she had no close friends left, she took a leap of faith and downloaded Bumble BFF. That swipe changed her life. What started as a casual meetup with Shay and another woman turned into a deep, lasting bond—one grounded in vulnerability, honesty, and growth.

This episode goes beyond Bumble success stories. Clifton opens up about loneliness and the barriers men face when trying to form new friendships—like societal expectations around vulnerability and the awkwardness of midlife introductions. From hot yoga and pickleball to conversations about politics, race, and Real Housewives drama, the trio shows that real friendship isn't about perfection—it's about showing up.

So if you’re feeling disconnected, on the hunt for new friendships, or just trying to figure out who’s really in your corner, this episode is a must-listen.
