This episode has Samir and me written all over it. We talk movies, actors, pop culture, and sports. It really is a convo for the masses. Artwork by @duart_create_ and @nettashkreli Unofficially sponsored by: Lafayette Coney Island Gettees https://gettees.us/  

Netta never fails to make us laugh off the pod and she did just that on it. We talk hinge, dating, being a child of divorce and animals attacks. Best part about doing this is getting to learn about people you thought you knew everything about.

Highly anticipated guest, Nicolette, joins us this week and it was everything we hoped for and more.

Welcome back to This Is For Our Friends!!! We are back on the couch after a few weeks off. To kick off season 2, we talk about our favorite episodes from our first season, new year's resolutions, and spooky spooky ghost stories. Some that are even confirmed by a special phone guest.  We also have our first live fact checker on this week. Hehe.   Personality Test linked HERE   So glad to back and even more excited for guests to resume next week!!   Artwork by @duart_create_ and @nettashkreli Unofficially sponsored by: Lafayette Coney Island Gettees https://gettees.us/

20 whole weeks of talking to each other for 90 minutes. We feel so grateful for and proud of these last few months. By actually committing to it, we were able to have some really great conversations, to learn a thing or two about one another, and to laugh a whole lot. Shout out to all our guests that came on this season - cannot wait to have more of our peeps on. We haven't even scratched the surface. Thank you for listening to us yammer on and hope you'll join us when we return after the holidays. Till then, please enjoy this season finale. We talk about conspiracies!!! Tata for now and see you soon, friends. Artwork by @duart_create_ and @nettashkreli Unofficially sponsored by: Lafayette Coney Island Gettees https://gettees.us/ 

A completely different type of guest this week! Brandon Hughes, friend and MLB pitcher, joins us to talk about his journey to the big leagues. We learned so much and had some great conversations. Excited to watch him kill it next season and even more excited to have him back on some day! It's usually "eat em up Tigers" but for today, it's "go cubs go!" See y'all next week for episode 20!

Liz rejoins us this week with a light hearted, fun and nostalgic episode. We listen to her stories about what it was like to be a rebel child and all her tips and tricks for sneaking out. Don't worry, she grew out of that stage. Thanks for making us laugh and gasp, Lizzy. Come back any time! Artwork by @duart_create_ and @nettashkreli Unofficially sponsored by: Lafayette Coney Island Gettees https://gettees.us/

Fair warning, we will have A LOT to fact check next week. We also promise to fact check more in real time to better our conversations, opinions and make it an easier listen for you all.  This week we recap all the birthday and thanksgiving festivities followed by some touchy, controversial topics. This is reminder that regardless of your opinion, there will always be people who think differently than you. This Is For Our Friends is a safe space for opposing opinions and hard topics. We also play smash or pass and it's fun. Love y'all Fia and Samir Artwork by @duart_create_ and @nettashkreli Unofficially sponsored by: Lafayette Coney Island Gettees https://gettees.us/  

Bona (Samir's sister) finally joins us on the pod. We were able to talk about so many fun topics from traveling, to motherhood and to the difference between goats and sheep. It's called range. Thank you, Bona, for your vulnerability, your funny and free spirit and for being loving sister to Samir! We love you and can't wait to have you back on! Let us know what topics you want to hear us talk about Artwork by @duart_create_ and @nettashkreli Unofficially sponsored by: Lafayette Coney Island Gettees https://gettees.us/  

We are back after a short break! In anticipation for the upcoming holidays we talk about traditions, religions, and how Samir plans to celebrate Christmas for the first time. There is a podcast holiday that we're celebrating too -  Samir's 30th bday. I ask him some questions to give him a moment to reflect on his 30 years of living.    Happy to be back and glad you're listening. Happy Thanksgiving - see you next week.   Let us know what topics you want to hear us talk about Artwork by @duart_create_ and @nettashkreli Unofficially sponsored by: Lafayette Coney Island Gettees https://gettees.us/

Such a fun and authentic episode with our buddy Dom who was an amazing sport when we had technical difficulties not once but TWICE. We had to rerecord 3 times due to some audio issues but that somehow made it that much more fun. We also added the "alternate beginnings" from our video footage to the end of the episode for everyone to enjoy because those convos were fun too! Lastly, we talk about COVID-19 pandemic so I wanted to give a trigger warning to those who might've been impacted by it more than others. Shout out to Dom, one of our heroes during that time.    Let us know what topics you want to hear us talk about   Artwork by @duart_create_ and @nettashkreli Unofficially sponsored by: Lafayette Coney Island Gettees https://gettees.us/

Happy belated Halloween!! Our conversations move from what Halloween costumes we wore as a kid to our biggest insecurities. Thanks for listening and we will see you next week!

A complete surprise to you and us on our guest this week. Robert REJOINS the podcast for the second time with a ton of banter. P.S. the boys are a few shots deep and it gets silly, messy and funny.  Comments are open for questions - so ask away!   Artwork by @duart_create_ and @nettashkreli   Unofficially sponsored by: Lafayette Coney Island Gettees https://gettees.us/

Nik really knocked our socks off. The stories were as top notch as the person. Get ready to hear about a boys journey to America, his "affair" with his teacher and all the times he's been busted by the law. Love you Nik!!! Can't thank our friends/family enough for coming on, talking to us and sharing their stories, whether they're funny, serious, or anything in between. Comments are open for questions - so ask away! Artwork by @duart_create_ and @nettashkreli Unofficially sponsored by: Lafayette Coney Island Gettees https://gettees.us/

We hit double digits!! Thanks for listening for the past 10 weeks. We appreciate all of our FRIENDS! Comments are open for questions - so ask away! Artwork by @duart_create_ and @nettashkreli Unofficially sponsored by: Lafayette Coney Island Gettees https://gettees.us/

Josie posie joins us on the pod. We get deep and it get's funny in an episode full of conversations we should all be having!

We are two nostalgic mofos that's for sure. After our fact check we talk about where we thought we would be at our ages, the things we all did as kids, and fia tells us about what offends her.   Also opening up the comments for questions - so ask away!   Artwork by @duart_create_ and @nettashkreli Unofficially sponsored by: Lafayette Coney Island Gettees https://gettees.us/

First time back to back guest episodes and first time having two guests on! We continue celebrations with Robert and Liz, talk about their engagement, and then we get to know how much they know about each other!

Playing games, asking the hard hitting questions and talking about perspective. The conversation took turns we didn't expect - such a lovely chat with our friend, Endri. 

In this episode, we discuss political and social topics. There is not any part of us that feels we are well versed in most of the topics discussed, which is why we fact check ourselves each episode. There are no intentions to spread disinformation, just to speak, grow, listen and learn.  Thanks for your support 

We have our first guest on today!! Get to know people from our circle a little more. 

Taking a stroll down memory lane to talk about all the trouble Samir got into but learning some lessons too. 

Back to our buddy banter. Fia tells her story about her 15 minutes of fame, Samir gives us his witness testimony, we talk about space and Pablo Picasso. Phew we are all over the place. Thanks for being here, friends.

No pressure, just fun and for our friends. Thanks for being here!
