  • Fwends Fworevwer

    (Is there a missing episode of the original Fwends archive between March 1st 2024 and March 14th 2024? The “Fwend topic” is different than expected..?)

    Having subscwibed as a Fwend with Benefwits, I’ve been binging through Simply Marvellous and the first Fwends format… It may have only made me adore Georgia even more. Perfection. Flawless. Zero notes.

    OH MY GOD THE BUZZING NOISE IN THE DIE HARD 2 EP 😂🤣

  • Fwends Fworevwer

    Okay, the “I Exploded My Life in My Bedroom” (also a killer song title) mailbag ep might be a new all-time favourite. Georgia’s morning clag?! 😂

    Always 5 stars. Even with its chipmunks (that one episode still very much active in the feed) and its pure chaos. Truly the best of the best.

  • Fwends recommend Fwends

    A brilliant savory snack of chaos and giggles hosted by three Fwends I now think of as my real Fwends. It’s like the personal shower thoughts became a full blown open conversation. Easily my most anticipated podcast drop.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

James Acaster - The Cat Fwend
Q: Do you think you are a good friend?
Yes, I believe I am, though I acknowledge I can be cautious and selective in how I reveal myself, trying to match my behavior to what my friends actually need rather than what I think they expect.
Eryn Jean Norvill - The True Fwend
Q: Cheeky opening question: do you think that you're a good friend?
EJ emphasizes that friendship is a practice requiring listening, consistency, and intention, while acknowledging that everyone has moments of difficulty, but the core is showing up for others.
David O'Doherty: The Live Fwend!
Q: How did the detective agency idea start and evolve into adult friendships?
The idea began with three boys mimicking detective stories and filling out mortgage forms for fun, evolving into a metaphor for teamwork, trust, and collaborative play that cemented early friendships and later translated into a shared career in entertainment.
David O'Doherty: The Live Fwend!
Q: What would you say is a lifelong friendship in your view?
David suggests you know within five seconds if you'll be friends for life, and emphasizes that lifelong bonds endure despite distance, time apart, and life changes, often celebrated through humorous and heartfelt shared memories.
Only Fwends | David O'Doherty asks a Fwend Question!
Q: What is the extent to which you can lightly humiliate one of your own friends when among strangers just in the interests of making the evening slash show pass more gently?
The hosts discuss how friendships can allow for teasing, but there's a fine line depending on the mood and closeness among friends.
