Part 2 of my conversation with guest Matt Phillion as we discuss friendship in the digital age. I've also got music from Colleen Green, Radical Dads and Boom Said Thunder. Show notes: - Check out Matt's new book, The Indestructibles: Breakout - Matt stopped working in offices several years ago - Used to being alone all day - Going out with friends tends to slow down as you settle down - Less likely to make the effort to organize group outings - House parties can be fun - Young people like Tinder - Matt used OK Cupid - Photos can be deceiving - Blind dates can be rough - When older parents start texting - Mom Guilt never ends - Matt came back to the U.S. because of family - Jay was ready to move far away after college...and didn't - Matt: Watching Dancing With the Stars is a family tradition - "The Fighter" was like "National Geographic: Boston" - To be continued
Music: Colleen Green - TV Radical Dads - Don't Go Boom Said Thunder - Summer Twin
