Hello, friends. Grab a chair, grab a chair, grab your wine. You are listening to the Close Friends podcast.

This is where we hit record on our in real life conversations as friends, trying to be adults, but also just trying to have a fucking good

time today I'm joined by my host Lucy and we are also joined by a very special guest
