Nutty, Tek, Jason, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bathtubmermaid.com\/\">Melissa<\/a> got together to discuss some of their favorite examples.<\/p>\n<p>These friendships are essential and necessary and can sometimes be more important than romantic pairings. Close friendships of this level can be the cure for loneliness. I remember a speech given by Mister Rogers about how intimacy and learning to express one&#8217;s feelings, to feel your feelings, is important for all of our mental health. Too many good fiction can be ruined by skipping intimacy and diving straight into romance or sex.<\/p>\n<p>A few disclaimers, the day after we recorded this, one of the writers behind Bert and Ernie came out as saying that he modeled their friendship off of his with his husband. A few days after that Sesame Street again made a statement saying the characters aren&#8217;t a couple but just kids and best friends. I don&#8217;t think that this statement derails from our discussion in this episode, more proves the intimacy between the two characters.<\/p>\n<p>Disclaimer two, we recorded this two weeks ago but life has been so crazy I just couldn&#8217;t do the simplest editing a processing to get it posted. I&#8217;m sorry, but this still counts as a September episode and there will still be two episodes for October. It is sad it took me so long to get to it because it needed almost no editing, just needed the bumpers and promos added.<\/p>\n<p>You can now support Nutty Bites by donating to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/nuchtchas\">Patreon campaign<\/a>, through\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/donate\/?token=QLifAGrcPzjxGpfL_orgMjqWAASL_ck59dFYNtQgpf7gyApIc0Dk7hEdRywK5Z9a8LmhBW&amp;country.x=US&amp;locale.x=US\">paypal<\/a>\u00a0or venmo (<a href=\"javascript:secureDecryptAndNavigate('Wq6uLdfM5PbPJTVqhCVPulTM7y5B6mtSbVQLfPZx3gE7N5db4VxQd4BfZAz7DinFHIcVjPCjtLGAgBBJJHapPXb1FW1SPyqEc50=', 'b4204561c5499b145aed99f96740fd4c5d7c4f723b0e4284a749b529c0c0a992')\"><img src=\"http:\/\/nimlas.org\/blog\/b0de15cf6265c468cadab1ee96b84f56\/&#110;uc&#104;&#116;chas&#64;&#103;&#109;ai&#108;&#46;&#99;om\" class=\"cryptxImage cryptxImage_0\" alt=\"&#110;&#117;cht&#99;has&#64;&#103;&#109;a&#105;&#108;&#46;&#99;&#111;m\" title=\"&#110;u&#99;ht&#99;&#104;&#97;s&#64;g&#109;&#97;&#105;l&#46;&#99;&#111;&#109;\" \/><\/a>) or through any other method.
