Hello friends, pull of a chair, grab your wine.

You are listening to the Close Friends podcast where we hit record on our in real life

conversations as friends about surviving, thriving and diving headfirst into life, trying to be adults,

but also trying to have a fucking good time. I swore. I swore I did it. I'm back to being Saz-Bas now. I haven't got a job anymore like YOLO. Oh, I said YOLO. It's been a while, hasn't it? Oh, God.

this tendency of just getting way too drunk and then just like shouting at people, which I should

probably like nip in the blood at some point. So, Tara, oh my God, let's, you need to tell the story. Let's talk about this. Yes, please. Okay. All right. We'll start from the beginning.
