The Story of My Friends

The Story of My Friends is a general-interest “call-in” talk-show led by host Joe Friend and his rotating cadre of questionably sane guests. TSOMF covers topics including fire dancing, astrophotography, juggling for a Guinness World Record, hypnotherapy, escaping a hospital, mining for gold, producing a musical, dancing naked with witches, yoga faux pas, artificially inseminating prized dogs, creating a board game, surviving in prison, driving a Corvette across the country, giving a woman a stroke, shooting a good friend, and much more; all with the message: Life Is Better When We Talk.

S1E5 - Let's Talk Relationships!

“I understand why Trader Joe’s would work… go to a Ralph’s… there’s no sexual tension in Ralph’s… but you walk into Trader Joe’s and suddenly it’s like... YOU... are on display.”

If you gave any of the other TSOMF episodes a cursory sniff, then it is obvious to you that Joe needs help (and a lot of it); enter Beatrice Rosu, host of “Let’s Talk Relationships”, part goddess / part guru, all the good views to give Joe the bad news: he still needs help. But he is not alone. And… well, neither are you. Come join us on this episode to untwist modern dating pretzel logic and help a better you come true!

S1E4 - The Corvette Story

"First we scared her into a stroke, somehow... and then we helped her."

Randomly going to Dallas to buy a 1971 Corvette Stingray? Of course I'll hop on a plane to go with you!

... don't forget to get hammered, eat our body-weight in grilled meats, drink a gallon of butter, get accosted by the Texarkana police, give a woman a stroke, save a woman from a stroke, walk face-first into an evolving solve for race relations, and put that very same car you went to buy onto a trailer and watch it drive away leaving you... well, leaving you... somewhere?

S1E2 - The Gold Top

"Youthful experimentation in the woods with a male prostitute and a half-wolf."

"... in a Pre-Colonial shack."

Red tops, blue tops, green tops, yellow tops... THE GOLD TOP! Joe has Ric Krause in the hot seat, playwright and producer of "The Gold Top" the musical. They dig in on the Sisyphean task of breathing life and fire into creative efforts... they also (ahem) maybe talk (allegedly) about making synthetic cocaine (allegedly) in a Precolonial shack in the woods (allegedly).
