Shane and Kyle's friendship is a decades-long one. They met when they were kids in New Jersey. They used to get into all types of shenanigans, as kids do.

Matthew is Kyle's oldest friend. They met when they were in first grade. Matthew always kept Kyle on his toes when they were younger with his imaginative stories. These two explored South Plainfield on foot and bike. Living down the street from each other they became fast friends.

They both moved out of New Jersey but remained friends all those miles apart. This is because they both love to play Xbox together and have for years. Although these two do not see each other often.
