Matchmaker Maria is joined by her cohost Edson and special guest Aaron Karo to explore the fascinating world of friendships—what they mean, how they evolve, and why they matter.

Aaron shares the story of his viral college newsletter Ruminations, how it shaped his early career, and how he and Maria turned a parasocial connection into a real-life friendship. They also dive into Aaron's annual "Man of the Year" tradition with his childhood friends, which has kept their bond strong for decades.

The conversation takes a deeper turn as they discuss the "friendship recession," a troubling trend of loneliness among men, and share actionable advice on fostering meaningful relationships. Plus, hear Aaron's hilarious takes on the differences between dating in NYC and LA—parallel parking and all! Check out @ManoftheYearPodcast !
