Welcome to The Stew, where we unravel the complexities of friendships. I'm Tanesha, and Ray joins me with all the superior wisdom. We dive into the surprising discussion: Should friendships have expiration dates? We grapple with this concept head-on, sharing personal tales of loyalty, growth, and outgrowing pals.

Have you ever had a friend who vanished when the car broke down or when you stopped partying every weekend? We've been there. Let's talk about authenticity in friendships and how sometimes it's okay to let go when paths diverge or when things get, well, a little toxic. Can you still call someone a friend if they'd bail when the real fight starts, literally and metaphorically? Join us as we navigate these murky waters with humor and honesty.

Grab a seat, maybe a tissue (because who knows where this emotional rollercoaster will take us), and let's chat about the true signs that mark the beginning and, sometimes, the inevitable end of friendships. But no worries, we're here to laugh through it all — because what's a good friendship without a dose of humor?
