The UNCOMFORTABLE Truth About Friendships?! | The Hop Pod Ep 140

After the success of our relationship dilemmas and “this or that” debates, we’re turning the spotlight onto friendships. From the lighthearted moments of the initial friendship to more serious issues years into the friendship like lending money and crossing boundaries, we unpack the messy, morally complicated situations that test loyalty, boundaries, and values. Along the way, we ask a tougher question: in these moments, are we judging our friends… or revealing what kind of friend we actually are? 00:00 Teaser 00:41 Topic 01:56 Level 1: Early Friendship 02:03 New friend — messy breakup or past bully? 04:28 Clingy friend — pull back or go along? 10:13 Confide in old distant friend or new close friend? 14:02 Level 2: A Few Years In 15:16 Reddit Story #1: Attend a MIA friend’s wedding? 17:08 Would you show up for past or present friendship? 18:24 Would you say yes to being a groomsman/bridesmaid of a distant friend? 21:31 The Question Pod 23:27 Reddit Story #2: “Low maintenance friend”: compliment? 24:57 Have you ever felt like a convenience friend? 25:44 What do low-maintenance friendships look like? 29:29 Level 3: Make or Break 30:25 Reddit Story #3: Lend a friend money? 31:56 Would you rather lend a friend $5k for hospital bills or gambling debt? 33:58 Reddit Story #4: How confrontational should you be? 37:13 Disclaimer 37:56 Outro 38:11 Bloopers FOLLOW US ON SOCIALS INSTAGRAM:   / yougotwatchsg   TIKTOK:   / yougotwatchsg   🌱 TAUGEHS 🌱 Nicholas:   / nicholasyeam   Joie:   / joietan   Q (Yun Qian):   / lyqian   🎧 SUBSCRIBE & LISTEN 🎧 Spotify: https://bit.ly/thehoppod-spotify Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/thehoppod-apple MeListen: https://bit.ly/thehoppod-melisten Powered by Mediacorp, contact us at: [email protected]
