Friedle and Strongaddressed their relationship with Peckin an episode of their podcastPod Meets Worldin February.
“My instinct initially was, ‘My friend, this cant be.
Its gotta be the other persons fault,'” Friedle said.
“The story makes complete sense the way that hes saying it.”
“He didnt say that nothing had happened,” Strong explained.
