    Man of the Year – Champions of Friendship

    As seen in The New York Times, on NPR, and the TODAY Show, Man of the Year is the #1 friendship podcast in the country! Comedians and friendship experts Matt Ritter and Aaron Karo will help you make new friends, reconnect with old ones, and build lifelong social fitness. Each November they award a gigantic Man of the Year trophy to one of their childhood friends – a tradition that has kept their crew going strong since the ’80s. But the country is facing a friendship recession – 15% of men report having zero close friends – and they’re on a mission to change that with tips, hacks, and decades of hilarious stories.

    Show notes

    It’s a new year so we thought we’d get back to basics and answer the foundational question that launched this podcast – how exactly do you make a friend? In the first of this two-part episode, we talk about taking inventory of your existing network to find potential friends that are hiding in plain sight. In next week’s episode, we’re gonna increase the degree of difficulty, and talk about how to meet complete freakin’ strangers and turn them into buddies. You got this!!

    #112 - New Year's Res-BRO-lutions 2025 Dec 31, 2024
    Show notes

    Most people make resolutions in various areas of their lives, vow to join the gym, which usually lasts all of 3 weeks, vow to save x number of dollars that we fall woefully short of while we rack up credit card debt, but very few of us include our friendship goals into our resolutions. We want to normalize that. So please include one friendship related resolution for 2025.

    #110 - Posting Up Dec 17, 2024
    Show notes

    People often think they need to make a concrete plan that involves a location and an activity, but we found a hack that seems to work. Friends benefit from lowering the barrier and just putting out the open call, aka posting up. Just telling people where you're gonna be and make it real easy for them to hang or just swing by.

    #106 - Assuming the Best in Friendship Nov 19, 2024
    Show notes

    We have a viewpoint on the pod that you are better served to assume the best of intentions for your friends even when they mess up. It's the better way to friend. Why, well here are just a few reasons: Trust is the foundation of any strong friendship. Assuming the best helps to maintain and build trust between you and your friends. Enhances Communication: When you assume the best, you're more likely to communicate openly and honestly, fostering better understanding and resolving conflicts more easily. Promotes Positivity: A positive outlook can lead to a more optimistic and supportive social circle, benefiting everyone involved. Reduces Misunderstandings: Misinterpreting a friend's actions or words negatively can lead to unnecessary conflicts. Assuming the best helps to prevent such misunderstandings. Encourages Support: Believing in your friends' good intentions can make you more supportive and empathetic, strengthening the bond between you. #maleadultfriendship #scaredtobevulnerable #adultfriendship #socialfitness #howtomakefriends
