Publisher's summary

Please note: This program contains strong language and adult content. Listener discretion is advised.

Join the hilariously candid journey with award-winning comedians Mae Martin and Sabrina Jalees as they dive into must-have conversations that redefine what it means to connect with your best friend.

Sex, money, religion...all topics that we’re told to avoid in polite company. But exactly the kind of conversations you should be having with your bestie, according to best friends of more than 20 years, Mae Martin (Feel Good) and Sabrina Jalees (Roast Battle). Romantic couples are often guided through the conversations they should be having before committing to each other–but what are the topics that best friends should be covering to truly get to know each other?

Benefits with Friends sees the two lifelong friends digging in to some of the thorniest conversation topics of our times–including money, gender, parenting, kink and shame–and exploring why these are such important subjects to share with your best friend.

May and Sabrina pair up to answer this burning question-

Can you laugh your assets off AND learn something that’s good for your soul? YES, you can! And they prove it with this saucy insightful series! One small teeny tiny side-effect is a recurring dream where I’m switching ear buds and the “mature content” warning is blasted on my phone’s speakers for everyone to hear and I absolutely can’t manage to get it turned off in time to prevent a lot of uncomfortable stares from people around me and a “we need to talk” from my new potential love interest. But, it’s worth it! YOU might want to make sure you’re all charged up before you start though. Me? I’m using the whole thing as grudgy grist for my writer’s mill and a meet cute in my next book! Are you ready? Throw caution to wind and ride the raunchy waves with Sabrina and Mae! You’ll love it!

Yes!

I loved this so much I sent it to my best friend of over 36 years. I think we’ll ask a lot of these questions to each other.

More of this, please!

I was familiar (and inflated) with Mae Martin, but this podcast was my introduction to Sabrina Jalees and what an absolute delight! These two individuals are hilarious together, and have superb friend chemistry! You'll laugh, you'll cry, and in the end, you (the listener) will win this podcast.
