Inseparable friends since birth, Sam and Casey grew up together all the way through the end of college. They explored every nook and cranny of the neighborhood of their youth, played all the sports together more competitively than organized leagues would be, lived it up in college as Freshman and Sophomore roommates, and now compare notes on their slum lord/house hacking lifestyles in Chicago.

Sam and Hoss initially met in childhood as non talking baseball competitors. The friendship kicked off in earnest in college where they played sports and partied together. Later in college Hoss joined ROTC and they were roommates the final two years of college. Hoss served diligently as a loyal 3rd wheel for Sam and Jessica during those years. When Sam came back to Chicago and became a property mogul in Bridgeport, their bond was strengthened with a shared love of the White Sox.

Sam and Tommy met in ROTC initially exchanged pleasantries, managed through the transition of Sam dating his kid sister, and now exchange career advice, talk shop, compare travel notes, and try to act like adults around each other. Going through the adversity of Appa's passing together, solidified their bond as brothers.

Sam and Terrance met at Fort Riley, Kansas, serving in the same company while playing Army. They got to go on a 9 month vacation together to sunny Kuwait and Iraq, where they hung out 24/7, ate 4 meals a day together and hit the gym multiple times a day. Terrance continues his heroic service as a Secret Agent Man today.
