Making new friends is never easy, especially if you're two socially awkward weirdos like us. This week we share about putting our foot in our mouth and oversharing when meeting potential new friends. Also, Sonya reads some poetry she wrote in high school and Adina is still confused and losing time.  ANNOUNCEMENT: Beginning this week we are switching to a bi-weekly schedule, so every other Tuesday you'll get a new dose of Honesty Check.  You can follow us on social media @honestycheckpod to keep up with all the happenings. And if you miss us, then join our Patreon! Hit it up over at www.patreon.com/honestycheckpod. Appreciate you!

Social media is ever present in most people's lives these days. It can be a great way to stay in touch and keep connections with friends and family. And it can also be a place where dishonest folks can take advantage of you. It's also a place where people can struggle with boundaries and disclose a little too much. Nothing is sacred and nothing is actually private. This week we break down what we think is the danger of oversharing on social media. Ironically enough, if you want to follow us on social media you can find us @honestycheckpod.

Would you fly halfway across the world to marry a stranger you met on the internet? What about washing your clothes in the swimming pool to save money?

We discuss how people are absolutely wild and do insane things that they willingly let a tv network record and show to the world.  Follow us on social media @honestycheckpod.

Guest host extraordinaire JP (professionally known as Nasty Pants) joins us for another episode as we tackle the trickiness and stickiness of group dynamics. Navigating friendships can often be fraught with obstacles, but it seems especially so in a group where you have to deal with a multitude of attitudes and behaviors. We share some of our experiences dealing with difficult people in group friendships. Also, we were about two champagne bottles of mimosas deep while recording so this one is fast and loose in places.

As it sometimes happens, this week's topic chose us as we began venting about all the things that currently agitate us. Topics include: strange and uncomfortable YouTube videos, aggressive hammock swinging, mismatched barstools, the barefoot neighborhood wanderer, making yourself sick by laughing too hard, and bangs on dudes. None of it makes any sense, but it doesn't mean we're not wrong either. Tell us what has got you all worked up lately at honestycheckpod@gmail.com. Or hit up our website at www.honestycheckpod.com Follow all the social media @honestycheckpod Patreon is a safe space where we don't talk about aggressive hammock swinging.  Join our community there and help support the podcast at www.patreon.com/honestycheckpod Appreciate you!
