- 0:05Speaker 2: Hi, thanks for listening to our Breakfast Bonus podcast.
- 0:07Speaker 3: Today.
- 0:07Speaker 2: We're talking about guy mates, not primates, but guy mates.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Boy friends is how they've termed it, because they've done
- 0:12Speaker 2: a study on this and they've found that guys on
- 0:14Speaker 2: general have about five friends, five general friends.
- 0:18Speaker 4: That's quite good because I think you have lots of acquaintances, right,
- 0:22Speaker 4: and what constitutes a friend.
- 0:24Speaker 2: Well, funny you break it down on there, because it's
- 0:26Speaker 2: of those five, three are close friends, two are best friends.
- 0:30Speaker 2: So that's just five friends. That's I guess the colleagues associates,
- 0:33Speaker 2: that's their friends, that's their friends circle five.
- 0:35Speaker 4: I feel like I'm in a really confused space with
- 0:37Speaker 4: friendships these days.
- 0:38Speaker 5: Because you're good at friendship.
- 0:39Speaker 3: Can I just talk you through it though?
- 0:40Speaker 4: Because I have like my school friends who I'm still
- 0:43Speaker 4: friends with but don't see heaps because most of them
- 0:46Speaker 4: still live in New Plymouth. Then I've got my mum
- 0:49Speaker 4: school friends, right, and those are also dad school friends
- 0:53Speaker 4: as well.
- 0:53Speaker 6: Can I just say that your ability to convert them
- 0:55Speaker 6: into genuine friends though?
- 0:57Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
- 0:57Speaker 6: You know what I've got is a whole lot of
- 1:00Speaker 6: acquaintances around them that will live around us everything. But
- 1:02Speaker 6: you you, all of a sudden they are your besties.
- 1:05Speaker 6: You're doing things with them dinners.
- 1:07Speaker 4: And are generally better at that at the conversion. You
- 1:11Speaker 4: guys should start doing that too. If there's someone that
- 1:13Speaker 4: you actually really enjoy hanging out with, then you actually
- 1:17Speaker 4: my mom told me us when I was young, Tony,
- 1:19Speaker 4: if you want to be a friend, to get a friend,
- 1:21Speaker 4: you have to be a friend, and you actually have
- 1:23Speaker 4: to put in some effort. So you need to actually,
- 1:25Speaker 4: like when was the last time you actually said to someone,
- 1:27Speaker 4: shall we grab a coffee? Shall we have a wife?
- 1:30Speaker 4: Or drop them a birthday gift or just something.
- 1:32Speaker 6: Let me just tell you that on the fourteenth of December,
- 1:35Speaker 6: all the dad's in our street.
- 1:37Speaker 5: We're going to try and we're going to convert our friendship.
- 1:39Speaker 3: Did you do you initiate this? No, you're not being
- 1:42Speaker 3: the friend.
- 1:44Speaker 5: Gus, he's very social free.
- 1:47Speaker 2: Neighborhood needs a Gust.
- 1:48Speaker 5: Everyone needs a Guss.
- 1:50Speaker 6: But Gus gets loose. You got to watch Gus.
- 1:53Speaker 2: That's why Gus. Gus wants to catch up the dead.
- 1:55Speaker 3: Gus doesn't want to be best friends. He just wants
- 1:57Speaker 3: to get on it with all the dead.
- 1:59Speaker 2: So that was full of two thousand guys, and thirty
- 2:01Speaker 2: five percent of them also have a friend crush. So
- 2:02Speaker 2: that's a dude. They want to be friends.
- 2:04Speaker 3: That's a good call and be more than friends.
- 2:06Speaker 2: No, no, just like a friend crush crush, just a
- 2:11Speaker 2: friend crush.
- 2:11Speaker 6: I've got a friend crush.
- 2:15Speaker 5: Been from pick up being there? No, no, no, yeah,
- 2:19Speaker 5: it's a been Morow. I don't know was the last name?
- 2:21Speaker 6: The tich guy there's been being Morrow is my he
- 2:24Speaker 6: I want to be beer.
- 2:25Speaker 3: Are you jealous of me?
- 2:26Speaker 4: Then? Because I'm better friends with Ben than you, I
- 2:28Speaker 4: don't think you are. I definitely am. Have you haad
- 2:30Speaker 4: coffee to discuss work opportunities?
- 2:32Speaker 3: Have you?
- 2:32Speaker 4: Yep?
- 2:33Speaker 3: No, my husband has babe, you know.
- 2:36Speaker 2: So Matt and being the mates, right, that's kind of
- 2:39Speaker 2: want to be from friends in that group.
- 2:40Speaker 4: Though, like normal, you'll let you on and you'll probably
- 2:43Speaker 4: end up being better friends with them.
- 2:46Speaker 2: So thirty percent of guys we can the good we're
- 2:48Speaker 2: calling the mates bro brother or brother. I do that.
- 2:51Speaker 2: I call people brother.
- 2:52Speaker 3: I don't think the friends are okay with it.
- 2:53Speaker 2: Though probably not. Only six percent of guys have a bestie.
- 2:58Speaker 2: Only six percent of guys have a beast for.
- 3:00Speaker 4: I have issues with besties too, like so do I.
- 3:04Speaker 4: And I tell this to my children. I'm like, don't
- 3:06Speaker 4: go around saying she's my best friend, because then you're just.
- 3:09Speaker 5: Others isolating people.
- 3:10Speaker 3: Yes, you don't need to, but girls are tear of.
- 3:12Speaker 6: My friend is Adrian, Like you know, it's just cut
- 3:14Speaker 6: and dry.
- 3:17Speaker 5: James is up there too. I met Adrian first, you
- 3:20Speaker 5: know what I mean.
- 3:21Speaker 6: I met James after the fact and we lived together
- 3:24Speaker 6: for it's like that core blood brother stuff.
- 3:26Speaker 4: I think I'd prefer to say, just like Sophie and
- 3:29Speaker 4: I think of anyone's got claims on a best friend,
- 3:32Speaker 4: that's me when she literally held my child in her
- 3:35Speaker 4: belly and she's my longest friend. But I don't want
- 3:38Speaker 4: to go shouting she's my best friend so that all
- 3:41Speaker 4: my other friends feel like they're not as tight to
- 3:42Speaker 4: me because it's not necessarily true.
- 3:44Speaker 3: We've got the longest history.
- 3:46Speaker 5: What are you going to do to be to friend?
- 3:57Speaker 5: Keen to keep her here?
