The Last Show with David Cooper · Loneliness and Making Friends · 9 Apr 2026 podcast

We're here because your heightened awareness deserves heightened entertainment.

The Last Show with David Cooper.

Making friends as a kid was easy.

You shared a swing, a snack, maybe an imaginary game, and suddenly you've got a best friend.

So why does making friends as an adult sometimes feel, I don't know, impossible?

Let's talk about loneliness.

But from the angle of making new friends, I am here with Gary Dierenfeld.

It is Wednesday, so it's Therapy Thursdays on a Wednesday.

I was about to say Thursday and get the day wrong.

You almost blew it back.

Gary's a social worker and a therapist and he's retired and I love him to death.

And welcome to the show, Gary.

You are such a naturally friendly person that I almost feel like you're not going to be able to give good advice for people who aren't as friendly as you.

Because you just naturally make friends wherever you go.

But I'm comforted by the fact that as a social worker, when you see patients or clients or what do you call people that do see you?

My colleagues tend to call them clients.

All right.

I guess that tracks.

When people see you who are lonely and interested in friend making, maybe they've moved to a new city.

Maybe they've gone through a divorce and their friend group is fractured.
