Rethinking Male Friendships I would like to propose one useful shift: thinking of friendship as something that can be learned. It is not only a matter of circumstance or luck. It involves a set of skills that many men were ne…

Episode 188: Aaron Brownstein & Simon Ganz Interview **Episode 188: Aaron Brownstein & Simon Ganz Interview** In this After Show Andrew talks with writing partners Aaron Brownstein and Simon Ganz about their long road to _Guy Text_. They share what they learned working under Jason Katims (_Friday Night Lights_ , _Parenthood, About a Boy_) and Victor Fresco (_Santa Clarita Diet_), including lessons about character, tone, and why even a waiter with two lines should feel like a real person. Aaron and Simon dig into the personal inspiration behind _Guy Text_ , a modern sitcom about male friendship built around a constantly active group text thread. They discuss the realities of modern masculinity, parenting, ambition, and the challenge of making something deeply personal in an industry that often wants a trend instead. Aaron also recounts his start as a child actor: He appeared in a commercial featuring**Christopher Reeve** —a moment that gave him an early, unforgettable brush with the industry that would later become his career.

We need more media and shows highlighting male friendship / male friendships, male solidarity, male unity, male brotherhood, male romance, and men supporting men.

The Unspoken Bond: Rethinking Men's Friendships in a Noisy World Somewhere between boyhood and manhood, many men lose the language of friendship. We’re taught to be silent, to be strong, but at what cost?
