A listener episode! Listeners of Well, I Laughed share their connections with this week's theme "Friend or Foe". from a chilling backyard skeleton discovery and a spirit finally laid to rest, to a 5th-grade art prize snub that turned into a marriage proposal. You also shared enemies-to-lovers glow-ups, high school heartbreaks, and a museum specimen bag labeled “99.9% sure it’s a bat.” Plus: ketamine ER memories and a muddled theater-kid “Am I the Asshole?” that tests what it means to be a true friend. And of course, Grant and Maia catch up on vacation updates, viral GIF drama, steakhouse prayer ambushes, and elopement chaos involving secret Google Docs, horseback-riding bruises, and Bach-party plans involving oranges and Kirsch before the mic passes to you, the listener. This week, from the Well, I Laughed podcast! From jump-scare nostalgia to rooftop reunions, the Well I Laughed community proves friends and foes can trade places before the credits roll.

Quotes:

"If you have friends that are like, 'Well, I'm not going to be friends with you because you're friends with so and so,' that's discounting who you are as a person, not who they are as a person." - Maia Warner
"It's actually okay that your bro best friend forgot about you and your birthday because they were on a date with their girlfriend. I know you are trying to be like a champ for your friend and happy for them, but being happy for them means they're in your life." - Grant Thomas
