Adrian has been my ride-or-die bestie for over 25 years. We’ve been through all the highs, lows, and total chaos life could throw at us. Honestly, I have no idea how I would’ve survived it all without her by my side—probably lost somewhere. She’s my forever shopping bestie and partner-in-crime, *wink wink*.

Rachel and I go way back—our story kicked off 10 years ago with some truly awful poker hands at a bar. Our mutual love for ice cream helped to soften the blow of losing. These days, you’ll probably find us in the back of the bar, fist-bumping to Avicii’s Wake Me Up like it’s still 2015.

Helen and Cassi met over five years ago while working together and instantly bonded over their mutual love of mimosas. Sunday brunch became their thing—complete with their boys and Papa Roger, and a healthy obsession with pull tabs. Good vibes, great laughs, and bottomless glasses ever since!

David and Shane have been buddies for over 10 years—and somehow still haven’t gotten tired of each other, probably because we went and bought houses right next door. Hey, neighbors! You can usually find them sipping Crown Apple and Coke, swapping wild stories that may or may not be true, hunting anything that moves (or sometimes just chasing squirrels), or making way too much noise at the shooting range.

David, Tim, and I first bonded over the show Letterkenny—because nothing says friendship like quoting a bunch of Canadian misfits. We met this lovely human thanks to his amazing wife, the one and only Mrs. Helen (clearly, she has great taste). Nowadays, you’ll usually find David and Tim sharing a Crown like it’s liquid gold and trading jokes that are way funnier to them than anyone else. Comedy legends in their own minds!

David has known Kyle since elementary school—basically, they go way back to the days of awkward lunches and questionable fashion choices. Over time, they became best friends and even survived living together while David wrapped up college (miraculously, no roommates were harmed). Now, the plot twist: Kyle is actually David’s boss. Yep, from playground pals to workplace power moves. When they’re not navigating that awkward boss-friend thing, you’ll find them trying to dominate at frisbee golf or bowling—mostly just competing to see who can embarrass themselves less.

Lester has been Cassi’s best guy friend for over a decade—basically, partners in crime since end of high school. They met through a group of friends and somehow managed to stay friends. Over time, David and Lester became friends too, bonding over two things: drinking whiskey and getting way too competitive in Call of Duty.

Ash and David have been friends for over 15 years—basically, a lifetime in friendship years. Cassi met Ash back in 2009 when she started working at Johnnie’s Chicago Style Pizza, because nothing says “best friends” like bonding over pizza grease and sweating buckets in a hot kitchen. Over time, the three of us have only gotten closer—usually found hanging out, sipping drinks, and making ridiculous faces.
