They dress each other, they feed each other and heck, they even cuddle. BFFs and men-about-town Josh Acheatel and Jeff Fronek give Bert and Ernie a run for their money.

Street: How long have you boys been friends?

Jeff and Josh: Since sixth grade.

Street: What were your first impressions of each other?

Josh: Within less than a year of knowing Jeff, I decided to make him an usher at my Bar Mitzvah.

Street: What dynamic duo do you most identify with?

J&J: The Jackson 5.

Street: You’ve roomed together for the last three years. What’s the weirdest thing the other has done while you were in the same room?

J&J: Nothing really comes to mind. We know this question is a trap for “masturbating while the other guy’s sleeping,” but we’re not biting.

Street: We hear you drove matching cars in high school?

J&J: Yes. Toyota 4Runners. Same year. Jeff had gray, Josh had white. Josh had a Limited Edition, while Jeff opted for the 4-wheel drive. Even then, Josh appreciated the finer things in life, while Jeff preferred to highlight his rugged masculinity.

Street: What was the best part of dating two best friends in high school?

J&J: Nothing, it was awful. Jeff was torn between wanting to get some and admitting that his best friend was a terrible boyfriend. Josh didn’t really notice.

Street: Josh, what things did you resort to in order to cope with Jeff’s absence while he was in China all summer?

Josh: I was so depressed that I packed up my bags and flew down to Costa Rica. I told my parents I was going down to teach underprivileged children English and improve my Spanish. I was so distraught I felt it was necessary to arrange my accommodations as close to the beach as possible. I did meet an Italian girl who spoke very little Spanish and no English. By far the most functional relationship of my life.

Street: What makes San Diego better than any other place?

J&J: The Mexican food and the chicks. It’s not that the girls are necessarily hotter, it’s just that they’ll hook up with us.

Street: How have you changed since you met?

J&J: Josh has made Jeff into a better dresser. Jeff has managed to stop Josh from referring to himself as the J-Man. Jeff is currently working on stopping the use of J-Nasty.

Street: If you could share one famous person’s brain, whose would it be and why?

J&J: Lee Stetson. We want answers.

Street: There are two types of people at Penn…

J&J: People who call themselves the “Gentlemen of [insert address here],” and the people who hate them.

Street: What are your guilty pleasures?

J&J: Halo. And Britney Spears.

Street: What’s the last thing you purchased together?
