I hope that's not the case, though I can see your concern - particularly the concern about the availability of those friends who are married-and-have-kids part, but I think marriage and kids may actually be where the second (third, fourth?) wave of great, life-long friendships comes from. I have little, little kids and yes, they make it hard for me to get out (in fact, tonight they're the reason I can't attend SXSTL), but oddly enough I've met some really, really cool people through my children's tiny friendships. I can definitely see developing those deep friendship roots you talk about (and I really welcome them , there is nothing as awesome as the people who are there when "the shit goes down"). When your time for hanging out becomes severely limited, you really put the effort in when you do have time. Those nights have to count!
While I probably never would have picked up on it without your having pointed it out to me, I took less issue with the script you referenced than with the "This Isn't Hip Hop" video. That said, I agree. Jimmy's not an employee, so I don't know why the script was written that way (it didn't need to be - the copywriter could have done better). Plus, while I like Jimmy well enough, I have to agree with the post about John Hamm. Jimmy doesn't make me think of drinking bourbon. Personally, I would have preferred Sam Elliot.
