Publisher's Summary

Please note: This program contains strong language and adult content. Listener discretion is advised.

Join the hilariously candid journey with award-winning comedians Mae Martin and Sabrina Jalees as they dive into must-have conversations that redefine what it means to connect with your best friend.

Sex, money, religion...all topics that we’re told to avoid in polite company. But exactly the kind of conversations you should be having with your bestie, according to best friends of more than 20 years, Mae Martin (Feel Good) and Sabrina Jalees (Roast Battle). Romantic couples are often guided through the conversations they should be having before committing to each other–but what are the topics that best friends should be covering to truly get to know each other?

Benefits with Friends sees the two lifelong friends digging in to some of the thorniest conversation topics of our times–including money, gender, parenting, kink and shame–and exploring why these are such important subjects to share with your best friend.

Loved it!

As a cis gender 73 year old I doubt I'm the intended audience for these two, but I was thoroughly entertained and engaged. Poignant and laugh out loud funny. More please.
