Making sense of people who don’t make sense, Why Are We Like This? is a podcast about human nature, pop culture, and the wonderfully strange ways people behave.
Hosted by a gay married couple with strong opinions and an endless curiosity about what makes people tick, Why Are We Like This? dives into movies, TV shows, celebrity moments, internet obsessions, social trends, and everyday quirks that shape our lives.

Why do we love to hate Ross? Friends became one of television's biggest sitcoms by turning six twenty-somethings into a kind of chosen family—and decades later, we're still watching, laughing, quoting, and arguing about them. For our Season 1 finale, we're talking about why Friends became such a phenomenon, why the chemistry between its six leads still works, the show's influence on fashion and hair, and of course... Ross. Was Ross and Rachel's relationship a great romantic love story—or one ...
