[Don't] Check on Your Strong Friend
Manage episode 397777053 series 2302063
"“Check on your strong friends” sounds profound, but it's technically meaningless… It is performative. A task, not a solution." - Rodney
Rodney recounts a conversation with a friend who revealed she had contemplated suicide. He unpacks the feelings that the conversation evoked, which inspired a deep dive into the complexities of friendship. He explored why we choose bad friends, what being a friend means, and the different types of friends one can have.
For just the second time ever, Rodney shakes the table on suicide. He offers a nuanced take on how friends can support each other in those dark moments. He uses the opportunity to address the strong friend trope. (HINT: 'strong friend' doesn't mean what you think it means).
An episode about the beauty and rarity of true friendship. Featuring Louis CK, Jane Fonda, and 2Chainz
