2 Problems: Breaking up friendships & Penalty shootouts.
In this first-ever two-problem episode, Romain and Jesse tackle two surprisingly complicated questions. First: how do you end a friendship that’s become toxic? Unlike romantic relationships, there are no social rules, no scripts, and often no closure. They explore why friendships quietly fade, when a difficult conversation is necessary, and whether ghosting, honesty, or simply letting paths diverge is the better approach.
Then they turn to the 2026 FIFA World Cup and ask a question sparked by the tournament itself: are penalty shootouts the best way to decide football’s biggest matches? They debate why penalties create some of sport’s most unforgettable moments, whether they’re a fair test of a team’s quality, and imagine alternative ways to settle knockout games without losing the drama.
