In this short, informal YouTube segment, host Suzanne Noble (Speaker A) chats with her friend Broad Rock (Speaker B) about the age‑old question of whether heterosexual men and women can maintain a platonic friendship. They reference a recent TikTok and a podcast that tackled the topic, then humorously claim they have been friends for about a century (or 150 years) without any sexual intimacy. Both speakers emphasize their straight identities, using playful metaphors (“I’m an arrow, very straight”) and light‑hearted banter to assert that men and women can indeed be friends, dismissing any notion of inevitable romance or sexual tension.

Here I am with my rock and roll friend, Broad Rock. Say hi.
Hi. I'm just rocking.
Broad's rocking. And I'm rocking because I'm doing a show soon. But we did this TikTok the other day about— well, actually, it was a podcast about can men and women be friends? And you and I have been friends for how long? Like 100 years. About 100 years. It has been about 100 years. No intimacy has ever gone on. None. None whatsoever. Even though—
150 years.
No, not at all, right? And we've been really, really, really great friends for a very significant period of time. So you know what? Men and women in a heterosexual, heteronormative way, we're both kind of straight. I'm probably a little less straight. I'm very straight. He's very straight. I'm like an arrow, so straight. Very straight. I'm a bit wobbly sometimes. Um, yeah, we can be friends, no problem. So there you go.
But I prefer enemies like you.
