Won't tease too much this time, but it's Christmas/Holiday season! One last check-in before the year ends, a small moment to say thank you for the time we shared in 2025. Take care and see you next year! Keep an eye out for visuals, possible Q&A's, and more on our socials over @spaceforfriendspodcast @comfortwithflin and @welllifecreation on Instagram.

We ease into this episode by trying to get ourselves into the Christmas spirit, talking decorations, movies, and the small rituals to help make the holiday season feel special. From there, we talk cinema prices, what feels fair, what doesn’t, and the growing anticipation for the new Avatar movie. Flin shares how he forgot an appointment with handymen, we address the awkward feeling of letting stra...

This week’s episode pays tribute to life's unexpected side quests. The conversation drifts from practical to absurd to profound, just the way we like it. We talk gift shopping online vs. in real stores, and the wholesome charm of making handmade Christmas cards, before Julien reveals his unexpected side quest: bartending at the GQ Men of the Year awards and mixing drinks for celebrities like it’s...

In this episode, we open up about the joy, pressure, and awkwardness that can come with giving and receiving gifts, why it feels heavy sometimes, and how we navigate the unspoken expectations around it as chronic overthinkers. From there, we explore how quickly emotional reactions can spiral, and how we’re trying to stay in control instead of getting carried away. We lighten things up (literally)...

We kick things off with a quick light-hearted gratitude session, appreciating life's blessings as of lately, from clean running water and tech upgrades to the joy of ad-free media consumption. Then we discuss the yearly Black Friday madness and the battle of resisting the urge to impulse buying. Flin shares a handful of his latest random observations, while Julien tells the story of unexpectedly r...

This week we start with memories and throwback stories from school days; relationships, betrayals, complex friendship dynamics, and all the subtle ways we learn to be compatible with other people. From there, we jump into Flin's challenge of dealing with the attention when you’re somewhat of a public figure, the necessary boundaries and how to balance connection and privacy. We wrap things up with...

Starting this week's episode off with a story about a strange gym encounter before unpacking feelings and discussing some lingering thoughts from recent events like last weekend's Halloween party's costume contest and its results. We blind-rank some semi random things that make us feel safe and name those, that absolutely don’t. From there we're going into a deeper talk about social issues, privil...

This week, Flin and Julien catch up after two packed weekends. First, Flin talks about his longest day 2025. Starting at the Berlin TV Tower, then a four-and-a-half-hour wait at a meet & greet with Julien, and ending the night at a friend’s birthday party all of that left him sick afterwards. After recovering in time, he made it to the long awaited Halloween party, which quickly turned into a...

Between busy schedules, restless nights, and a bit of background anxiety, this week we catch up on how life’s been feeling lately, between sleep, stress, irrational thoughts, and how we try to calm it all down. We also talk about Flin’s upcoming special visit to Berlin’s TV Tower and our meet & greet with a famous German bodybuilder. From there, we look into our part-time job application attem...

What starts as a calm catch-up quickly turns into one of those everything-everywhere conversations. Flin shares insights from a recent therapy session that turned into a lesson on small talk, is it an underrated social skill or just polite noise? We also hear about his grandma’s glow-up era, a wild party story before Julien opens up about family dynamics, the “young uncle” dilemma, and what it’s l...

Back together in the studio, we kick things off with some words of appreciation and gratitude for this space and for finally sharing it together again. We reveal some interesting details about an upcoming second FLIN merch drop. Between sewing, fixing holes, and analyzing if it's an essential skill to have, we discuss the question if and how one of us drinking alcohol again could potentially impac...

This week’s episode flows from cozy life updates straight into the deep end; from heating dilemmas (are we freezing or melting?) to body image, mirror love-hate moments, reacting to people's comments, and the strange ways we see ourselves. We share our full Demon Slayer movie experience; the hype, the verdict, and what snacks and drinks fueled us. Also sending shoutouts to drinking water. And to r...

Before anything else, we go back to last week's topic, wanting to prevent any confusion about Flin's boat trip from last week and clarify the difference between canoes and kayaks. From there, the hype for the upcoming Demon Slayer movie takes over (with some inevitable anime yap along the way). We blind-rank the best cinema snacks, and Flin shares a college presentation on bravery that leads to a ...

This week we’re back with a special remote episode, calling in on the weekend instead of sitting in the studio on Wednesday. Flin kicks things off with a recap from his recent short trip and demanding kayaking tour, while Julien shares how he spontaneously decided to join a community run on Saturday morning and his upcoming marathon plans. From there we talk about collaboration and collective acti...

This episode was destined to be different. From the recording almost getting canceled, to making it work regardless - with suboptimal audio and delays resulting in unwanted pauses and talking over each other more often than usual (lol). Nevertheless we end the episode richer, than when we started it, finding in it some food for thought and stress relief, gaining new insights, sharing proud moments...

This week’s episode drifts between late night thoughts and lighthearted laughter. Flin opens up about sleepless nights, future worries, and the heavy feeling of not always knowing the next step which leads to a brainstorming session, new thoughts and angles to tackle the issues at hand.  From there, we move into real-life moments. The awkward challenge of a reunion at a former workplac, plus a hil...

From current struggles and new gym enemies to full days lost in video games, this week’s episode is packed with stories. We dive into ghosting and digital etiquette, blind-rank the best gaming consoles (with a detour to some hilariously awkward Wii memories), and hear an old story of Flin’s dramatic school trip as well as the background to him almost getting scammed recently... Hope you enjoy! :) ...

This week we wander from mobile games and phone habits into gossip as a way of socializing, and then out to the streets and public of Berlin. Listening to music, people-watch, when and how to even join a stranger’s conversation without feeling intrusive? From there, we dive into the bigger wish for a friendlier, more compassionate environment and the subtle but important difference between being n...

This week's episode starts with Flin sharing his recent dream again, and how it had him start his day off stressed, making us appreciate the luxury of slow and peaceful mornings even more. From there, we enter into a creative's mind, talk about stage fright, how words and jokes can seriously harm someone's confidence, and how practice and preparation might help build it back up. We also cover toda...

This week's episode starts with Julien quizzing Flin on what he thinks are the top 10 most difficult languages, then we reveal the official UNESCO ranking step by step. From there, it’s off to talking about recent cinema experiences, crying, concerts, and some truly wild car stories. We also get into the tricky business of public arguments on social media and exposing private messages, where to dr...

Inspired by last week's episode, we start this one by talking about small adjustments that can boost our energy levels throughout the day (starting with our breakfast). From there, we drift into our fascination with Japanese and Chinese influences, from food to philosophy, and get momentarily interrupted by the doorbell, which somehow leads to neighbors, online shopping, and jeans talks. Flin shar...

This episode didn’t go precisely as planned, and maybe that’s exactly what made it interesting. With Flin running behind schedule and both of us feeling the weight of mental exhaustion, we found ourselves clashing more than usual. But out of the tension came some sharp questions and raw reflections: where’s the line between confidence and arrogance? Would you even want to be the best at something?...

In this episode, Flin and Julien follow the thread from sports science to gender norms, gym-floor Google searches, and how a casual “it’s common sense” turns into a full-on spiral: what even is common sense, and what can or can't be seen as such, making it a friendly (and slightly heated) debate about logic, intent, reason, and why “simple” truths aren’t always so simple, or are they? We touch on...

We’re celebrating one whole year of Space For Friends (!) — looking back at where we started, what we thought this would be, and how we actually feel about it now. Then things get quite intergalactic as we chat about how to coexist with people from different cultures — or, you know, planets. This episode has a bit of everything, from sharing fun facts, falling into geography rabbit holes, and cele...
