Part 2 of my conversation with guest Matt Phillion as we discuss friendship in the digital age. I've also got music from Colleen Green, Radical Dads and Boom Said Thunder.

Show notes:

• Check out Matt's new book, The Indestructibles: Breakout

• Matt stopped working in offices several years ago

• Used to being alone all day

• Going out with friends tends to slow down as you settle down

• Less likely to make the effort to organize group outings

• House parties can be fun

• Young people like Tinder

• Matt used OK Cupid

• Photos can be deceiving

• Blind dates can be rough

• When older parents start texting

• Mom Guilt never ends

• Matt came back to the U.S. because of family

• Jay was ready to move far away after college...and didn't

• Matt: Watching Dancing With the Stars is a family tradition

• "The Fighter" was like "National Geographic: Boston"

• To be continued
