## Resource

This week Byron Gabriel and Shevora tackle the hardest question in adult friendships: when do you let one go and when do you fight to keep it? They pick up where last week left off, digging into the signs that separate a rough patch from a real ending. Then it's time for Would You Rather, and this round gets personal fast. From aging backwards with your memories intact to living twenty extra years without ever knowing your expiration date, the guys debate tradeoffs around money, time, love, and legacy that get more revealing with every question. Shevora closes things out with Hometown versus Denver (and Texas), a side by side look at food, slang, dating culture, and driving habits that will hit home for anyone who has ever had to explain their hometown to a new city. Local Denver listeners, this one is for you too. Grab your headphones, this episode covers a lot of ground and ends with some real talk from Shevora in Final Thoughts.
