Hi, Oddings. This is the Something Scary podcast. I'm your Ate Sapphire.

The concept of making friends is kind of odd if you think about it.

You meet a total stranger and you both mutually decide to build a relationship.

It requires a lot of trust. But if you choose correctly, those relationships can be so meaningful and beneficial.

This episode is about the times that are not.

and finally, we'll witness the blood oath of two best friends.

I receive hundreds of amazing story submissions every single week.

over at YouTube.com slash snarled. Then I read a few more stories for the podcast. If you have a

tale you're dying to share, send me an email at something scary at snarled.com. And if you'd like to
