becoming friends with...blue velvet
becoming friends with...
becoming friends with... is a funny, heartfelt, and slightly hazy longform podcast where four longtime friends—and delightfully weathered stoners—meander through the cosmic maze of adult friendship while gently dismantling macho nonsense and redefining manhood, one laughably profound tangent at a time. Each episode dives headfirst into everything from spaced shower thoughts to deep chats about movies, music, and masculinity. The first half? A delightfully chaotic, free-roaming conversation that pinballs between topics like late-night snacks, dad feelings, and philosophical detours. The second half? A deep-dive into a favorite film, band, or album that gets way more thoughtful than you’d expect from guys this high. With recurring segments like “Coffee Songs”, “Hi, Thoughts”, “Tales of Video Library”, and hilarious hijinks involving weird AI-generated images, becoming friends with... is part nostalgia trip, part emotional check-in, and all good vibes. Whether you’re here to laugh, reflect, or just feel a little more connected, this is the podcast for dudes who cry at movies and laugh at fart jokes—and everyone who loves them. https://bit.ly/m/becomefriendswiththepod friendship. music. movies. dig it. we’d love it if you’d join us.

Prepare yourself for the first becoming friends with... podcast, where some aging stoners, fueled by a lifetime of shared experiences, tackle the big questions and the not-so-big ones, all with a healthy dose of laughter and surprising insight. In this episode, Rene and Byron dive deep into the mind-bending, surreal world of David Lynch's cult classic, Eraserhead. They'll unpack the symbolism, the eerie atmosphere, and the unforgettable images, offering a unique blend of philosophical pondering and hi, thoughts.
It's not all Lynchian nightmares! They also flex their creative muscles by brainstorming an indie film version of the classic "Who's on First" routine and explore a brand new RPG, breaking down the mechanics and debating the best way to roll dice (or maybe just roll one). A sweet tooth and memories lead to a delightful tangent about their favorite sugary treats, and they celebrate their unexpected love for yacht rock, inspired by the smooth sounds of Thundercat and the impeccable taste of Danny Brown, proving good music transcends genre, and it definitely hits different when yer a little...elevated. It's a journey through film, comedy, gaming, snacks, and smooth music, all with the laid-back, insightful charm that only America's favorite Rene and Byron can provide. Dig it.
