“We Had Sex Roughly Around The Same Time” with Nick Thune | 35

By: Audible

This week, comedian Nick Thune joins Megan, Chris, and Kurt. They all love their kids, BUT… Do we really need to be friends with their friends' parents? We've already been through grade school, high school, college, and the workplace, and we've made ALL the friends we need at this point. We're pretty set by now. Or, are we? During a family trip to Legoland, Kurt's daughter, Olive, quickly befriends a girl her age, leaving Kurt with no choice but to engage in small talk with a family he just met. It's an uncomfortable situation with almost no way out, unless you're Kurt, who resorts to faking a back injury while going down a Lego slide. When Nick throws a birthday party for his son, some parents seem to believe that the ""drop-off only"" suggestion was rather flexible, and they decide to hang around. The vibe at the party triggers flashbacks for Nick, reminding him of past hook-ups that didn't quite pick up on the signals that it was time to leave. It may seem like closing time for expanding the friend zone, but if we open our cold, dead hearts, perhaps there's room for one or two more parent friends.
