Summary
We at Best Friends think you should have whatever pleases you! We discuss high-school retainers, having a cold during the pandemic, appropriate ways to use the flag, do some “would you rathers” including “would you rather be a reverse centaur or reverse mermaid?”, if wedgies actually happen in real life, and where their high school bullies are now. They answer listener question about how to better support a best friend going through hard times, when it is appropriate to step back and not help, and what to do with a plant from an ex-best friend.

| 0:35.6 | Oh, but you've never needed it since. |
| 0:42.9 | I mean, if I wanted my teeth to go back to the way they were, I'd have less of an overbite. |
