Or was it when Michigan football signed with Adidas for 10 years? Those are the things that honestly keep me up. Or was it when Staples changed their whole entire font? Bro, that'll get me harder than a whole relationship. date a girl for two years break up with her
Starting point is 00:03:40 worst breakup ever both you guys tell each other you're gonna kill it kill yourselves or when Staples takes the actual staple out of their logo what hurts more when they got rid of
Starting point is 00:03:57 Frutopia vending machines or when you thought you were gonna get married and it didn't happen but every time you date a girl you think you're gonna get married right even when you're like in first grade I think you gotta be real crazy you did not think that.
Starting point is 00:04:12 Or even for a little bit, you're like, oh shit, we're about to, she, oh, shit, we both think we're going to get married. Is that the funniest shit? You go on one day, dude, in my head the whole time on that date, I'm like, damn, so we're going to be hanging out like all the rest of our lives. Every day, every time I've ever talked to a girl, the thing in my head is, wow, we're going to have, like, kids and stuff. I've just been Fourth of July at her family's house.
Starting point is 00:04:42 I've said seven words to her. Everybody thinks like that, right? No, okay. Here you go. For me, it was the third grade. I had like my first little boyfriend and we kissed under the trampoline at my friend's house. And I think it was probably a week later.
Starting point is 00:05:10 He broke up with me. And it was the biggest heartbreak of my life. I remember it to this day. And I don't remember the reason. But he was in fourth grade and I was in third grade. Oh. Might have been the reason. But I remember I went home and I like cried in my room like end in my pillow.
Starting point is 00:05:33 And didn't tell my parents. I was just so so heartbroken. But yeah, that's probably my biggest heartbreak. those are really the ones you remember though those early crushes I remember my like first girlfriend in school thought about her yesterday uh
Starting point is 00:05:53 no her name wasn't Amelia no I didn't make fun of no I didn't get made fun of every single day by my family because they all knew about it I was like what is happening how does everybody know my drama I'm eight those ones hurt bro
Starting point is 00:06:10 I think that's the realest relationship I've ever had first grade for real. Like, damn, like we were, we were locked in. A lot of mems. You don't know the reason? Bro, third grade dating a fourth grader is dangerous. You don't know what. Dude, girls are so brave dating guys. Do you ever think about that?
Starting point is 00:06:38 Like, when a girl decides to hang out with a guy, it's like, wow. You, like, you really trust me. This is insane. Wait, so I'm just going to pick. you up and we're going to go wherever and you're just going to like we don't even know each other. Oh, how do you do it? You know zero things about me, but you're just going to get in my car. Girls will mess around and take trips when they don't even know a guy.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Yeah, I'll fly you out and they'll just go. I'll never get it. I'll never understand it. But in third grade day and a fourth grader, that's serious. What school did you go to? I thought it was, I thought it was. so player. When my seventh grade
Starting point is 00:07:27 best friend was dating an eighth grader, I was like, dog, you're, you're him, bro. Oh,
Starting point is 00:07:34 you're dating, you're dating Amanda Bradley, dude? She's, you know, like the girl that's in eighth grade that's hot,
Starting point is 00:07:42 but she's like tall. There's a tall girl. I'm like, God. I'm like, you pulled that? Oh, bro.
Starting point is 00:07:51 Dang, that's going to be, you ever date a girl and you're, like, man, this, like two weeks into the relationship, you're like, this breakup's going to hurt. This one's going to hurt, babe. Ooh. Oh.
Starting point is 00:08:08 Can't remember the reason. I always hated dating a girl like in not dating, but whatever the hell we were in, like, middle school. Because you just break up when the summer starts. Actually, kind of a good, good plan. Like, yeah, I'm just going to have a girlfriend all year. And then summer comes around like, whoops. Whoops, I have no, I, like, I'll try to call you once a week.
Starting point is 00:08:41 I guess. That's how I need my relationships right now. Yeah, we can date during the year. School years only, though. Like, I get spring break off. I get Christmas off. Summer off. But just like during, like, the grind.
Starting point is 00:08:58 got to have a girlfriend. Yep. Fall definitely got to have a girlfriend, but like when Christmas rolls around, I mean, that's just gets, that's just too much for me. I just got to, we got to take a step back.
Starting point is 00:09:19 Yeah, it hurts, yo. Third grade? God, you love them so much. You love them so much, you write their name down. That's when you know. Why am I writing this girl's name down in my notebook 78 times?
Starting point is 00:09:38 That's when you know. Hey, you're making your, hey, you're making, you're writing her name down with your last name. Literally 11 years old. Hey, just see how it looks. So if we did, hey, if you, you're lying to yourself. If you don't talk to a girl, like start talking to a girl. You're like texting. You're lying if you don't think of her first name with your last name immediately in
Starting point is 00:10:10 guy. There's no way, bro. And if a girl, you, you, you like try to, you, you, you, you convince yourself, even if, even if the guy you're dating for 27 hours, it's, it doesn't sound good. Your first name and his last name, you convince yourself. You're like, it could work, though. I'm sick. What up, Ben? Biggest heartbreak man. That would be last year. In April, I think that would be when Tyreus Halliburton, Tora's AC's Achilles in game seven. That's nothing, nothing hurts. So I'd rather get cheated on by four women than see that again.
Starting point is 00:10:50 Bro, they were going to do it. Not a sports podcast. I was so sure the Pacers were going to beat the Thunder in that game seven that I took a nap during the game. It was like their first quarter. Sometimes things get so overwhelming. I just have to take a nap and die. And I'll do it at the craziest times.
Starting point is 00:11:17 Like I literally can't be awake for this. I can't be living for this moment right now. Before a show, God. Before a stand-up comedy show in some weird town in California, I'm like, I just got to go to sleep. Like I can't endure this like feeling right now. It's mentally exhausting. I don't know if it's just stand-up.
Starting point is 00:11:44 It's a lot of other stuff, too. But yeah, during that game, man, I was just like, I cannot take the... I can't watch. I cannot watch this, you know? I laid down on my back, woke up Tyrese Halliburton, out indefinitely, out for two years. I was like,
Starting point is 00:12:02 everybody knows the Pacers should have won the NBA finals last year. Like, everybody, even the Thunder are like, I mean, yeah, they should have. When your boy gets hurt on your team, bro, and you know it's the end. too. Such a heartbreaker. Percentage of guys that come back from an injury and they're like better or they're the same, it's got to be like 3%.
Starting point is 00:12:38 AJ and Peterson all 3%. Trell Owens a little bit too. But when a guy hurts his knee or something, you're just as a kid too, you don't really know. Daddy, what happened? He's just banged up for a few games. He'll never be the same. in baseball, I can't imagine liking baseball and your favorite pitcher
Starting point is 00:13:06 he gets like his shoulder tell me John's surgery. I'm like he's never going to pitch fast again. Career's over. Get so scared. Dude, when guys are really good earlier in their careers, I'm like, okay.
Starting point is 00:13:28 If I as a GM, I'd be trained the hell out of people. One good year, trade them. One good year, trade them. One good year, trade them before he gets hurt. Tyreys Halliburton trade them right now that's sports podcast So my biggest heartbreak Can't wait
Starting point is 00:13:52 When my work bestie leaves me Like quite literally That almost might hit close to like a parent dying out of nowhere It is absolutely terrible Like what do you mean you're going to leave me in this hellhole where we've been planning everybody's dismisses. Did I say that right?
Starting point is 00:14:12 Dismise? Oh, well, whatever, you get the point. When we've been plotting on everyone's lives and now I'm just here and I have to be like normal and not a complete like psychopath. Got it. Love that so much for me. It's tearing up my heart. Bro, it's like when you're at school and your boy isn't there? Like your boy's sick?
Starting point is 00:14:44 I'm honestly mad at him. I'm like, what? You're just going to be, you're not going to tell me? I never, I didn't work long enough to have it work, bestie. But that gets crazy. Because like, they're your whole world. They're your whole world, bro. You're ride or die at work.
Starting point is 00:15:08 There's always one guy you can kind of get down with that work. You're like, thank God you're normal. I can't stand the rest of these freaks. How am I even here right now? You ever think that at work? You're sitting there at work here. Like, how am I even here? I don't know how people do that.
Starting point is 00:15:25 I did it. I did it for like 10 years. But I was just like, oh my God, these people are so crazy, insane and annoying. People that work in offices, I'm like, there's just no way. I think I went probably 34 days of my corporate career, not saying a word to anybody.
Starting point is 00:15:47 And God, they were the 34 best days. I would try to go start to finish. You play those little games in your head. I put my headphones in, listen to ESPN radio the entire day. Just knocking stuff out. Get up and leave. Don't even say bye. When you got a homie at work, God, it makes it fun.
Starting point is 00:16:11 But you can also get in trouble doing that. I had a best friend at work and we were doing it. It was like we were in school again. me and me and chiller best friend for my whole life because that's how guys are guys meet their best friends in first grade and it's their best friend till they die and they have like three of them maybe three probably two
Starting point is 00:16:34 maybe not even two best friend forever worked with him at a government office in Carmel Indiana the richest city of all time me and him in there for God no knows what reason. We're just like working for the...
Starting point is 00:16:53 I have no idea what I'm doing every single day. I'm supposed to be like keeping track of some accounts or something, city accounts. Every time they looked at my screen on my computer, I was watching huddle film.
Starting point is 00:17:09 Huddle practice film. The literal mayor would be in the office and he would turn and look at something and I would pretend like I was grabbing his ass every single time just to make my friend laugh and it would every time but i'll never but that's when i was like i just got to get fired but if he wasn't there i would actually have to work and the people in the office when you're work bestie isn't at work they like know you're vulnerable they're like oh okay what do you get who you're going to talk to you're going to talk to me are we going
Starting point is 00:17:45 to be friends you got to act a little different you got to act a little nicer hey Yeah, I don't know. We don't, you're acting like you don't know each other, your work bestsy that much. Yeah, they never said anything to me. We like just met. Yeah. Meanwhile, you're texting them, dude, what the, get your ass here before I kill you. It was crazy in high school and we didn't have phones and your, in your home he didn't show up.
Starting point is 00:18:18 I'd be like, bro, what the fuck? Did you die? No, I was just like sick. Sick. That's not an excuse. You can't leave me hanging around all these freaks and nerds and corn balls? Where's my friend? Not all dairy queens serve, chocolate soft serve.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Biggest heartbreak. That's so real. I just love how you guys just know that this is the direction the podcast goes. It's just, oh, you're talking about work. Well, guess what? Now you're talking about ice cream for 45 minutes. Can I be honest? Can I be honest?
Starting point is 00:19:08 can I be completely honest chocolate ice cream is good but is it chocolate ice cream you ever been like man I really want some chocolate ice cream look at yourself in the mirror a scoop of chocolate ice cream
Starting point is 00:19:36 a scoop of vanilla ice cream right next to it I think your decision's made a scoop of chocolate ice cream in a cup to me It just looks like, hey, you're going to have bad breath for the next two days. Vanilla ice cream, hear me out, is just a vehicle for your other favorite things. And when I say favorite things, I mean your favorite toppings.
Starting point is 00:20:15 You put a bunch of crunched up Oreos, Reesies, Snickers, Hot Fudge in vanilla ice cream? Oh, my God. Blade time. But you put that in chocolate ice cream? It's kind of like, it's a little overwhelming. And I like can't see it as well. I'm getting real,
Starting point is 00:20:43 real into this, but it's that serious. I'm like breaking down X's nose of chocolate and white ice cream, chocolate and vanilla ice cream. But it's that, it's this, this is how much it means.
Starting point is 00:21:02 But you know, what I can really get down with is that, Yo, when they Whoever the guy was that was like, okay, soft serve machine, we got chocolate soft serve, we got vanilla soft serve,
Starting point is 00:21:14 make them both twist. Bro, the twist feature on soft serve machines? Whoever created that, step forward. We have to kiss. I'm still amazed at how they... Is that on the Dairy Queen? Like... Is that in the, in the, I almost had audition.
Starting point is 00:21:46 The hiring process? All right, yeah. Okay, yeah, you know all the blavered, you know all the blizzard combos? Cool. One more thing before we give you the job. Do a cone perfectly. God, I thought it was so crazy the way they do that.
Starting point is 00:22:09 Dairy queen employee? making that twist cone like a tower, bro. Taller than the Empire State building and they just slap it in sprinkles. And I'm like, bro, covered in sprinkles. The sprinkles have sprinkles. Just blew my mind, man.
Starting point is 00:22:30 I was like, how do you guys do this so perfect every time? Then you go to a buffet? And you're like, man, I can do that. What happens? I'm like, I swear I'm doing this right. Ew, bro. When you try to make a, actually, you don't even, you don't even finish it.
Starting point is 00:22:49 You try to do a twist cone at like a golden corral. It looks like crap and you throw it away. And you just end up putting ice cream in a bowl. And that looks even worse. You're like, how come when I put soft serve in a bowl, it looks like a dog crapped in here. Heard a lot of rumors about blizzards. Oh my God, yeah, get that blizzard?
Starting point is 00:23:16 But ask for chocolate ice cream. No. No. I'm a vanilla guy. Let's keep you go. So this is very niche, but one day broke my heart, and it was when Taco Johns, a very popular Mexican fast food restaurant up in the northern United States decided to stop selling buffalo wings, boneless wings right from the fast food drive-thru. through. And yes, you could be sitting in your seat today saying gross, but they were delicious and they were maybe my favorite fast food item of the times. And when I went through the fast food
Starting point is 00:24:10 window one time tried to order it and they said it was discontinued. Like why? I maybe would have cried more than my worst breakup ever. It was one of my worst moments life went down just kidding life was life's fine but no it wasn't yeah no it wasn't there's a lot of those man food really hits
Starting point is 00:24:38 discontinued foods I don't know what to type in discontinued fast foods it's always fast food for me God man um Cini minis I was just like wait what are you talking about
Starting point is 00:25:01 Like I was honestly like in shock. No, we don't have those anymore. Oh, I guess I was the only one in the whole world buying those then. There's one that really hits, like crazy. Oh, KFC used to have some. Don't get me to start on KFC. KFC, bro, I was, people don't know the history of KFC. I do.
Starting point is 00:25:37 I do. And I have facts to back it up. My grandpa owned a KFC and I can't say it enough, man. Because that's like my, that's like I should put that on a resume, I feel like. They used to have this little bucket of ice cream.
Starting point is 00:26:01 Ah! Graham Cracker Bottom. What? Who's doing that? Different flavors, strawberry, chocolate, and they were just stash in my grandparents' freezer.
Starting point is 00:26:20 Never saw them again. People really don't know about Subway. Mm-hmm. Before the cookies. before the footlong cookie Subboy had cupcakes God, oh my God, it's the best cupcake I've ever had.
Starting point is 00:26:40 Nobody knows about Subway cookies. Nobody knows about Subway cupcakes, nobody talks about them. It's like they tried to erase them from history or something. I'm like, bro, a chocolate-on-chocket with a little kiss.
Starting point is 00:27:03 of icing on top. Don't need the whole thing covered. For once, don't need the whole thing covered. Just a little kiss on top. It did the job. Doesn't sound great, does it? Yeah, it's just a chocolate cupcake
Starting point is 00:27:20 with chocolate frosting on top, just a little bit of frosting. Yeah, but the whole entire thing inside was filled with fudge. There's not a trace of it on the internet. My daddy's coach football. They had their spring game every year and they called it the subway scrimmage.
Starting point is 00:27:44 The draw to get people to the spring game was free subway for everybody. Amazing. This is a big moment in my childhood life. Subway scrimmage? Subway scrimmage? Because I knew one thing was going to happen. Because I had to work it.
Starting point is 00:28:02 You know what I mean? My dad's the coach. I'm not just sitting around. Bro, I'm cutting. You know what I'm doing, though? I'm killing bees. you've heard about the subway scrimmage B massacre before. Just think party subs.
Starting point is 00:28:18 Think you've seen a subway. Sometimes a subway party sub is like a rare thing to see. It's like when you see a fox or something. You're like, whoa, hey! It's like, no, it's like when you actually see a horse when you're driving on the side of the road. Or a deer. You see a deer.
Starting point is 00:28:39 Hey, look! That's like when you see a subway party sub. You're like, whoa, you never see them, bro. But at like a vent, oh, baby, that, that, that, that braided bread. Subway party subs have bread and it's all the bread like, like spun together. It's the sexiest bread. I wish they offered that for just normal subs, but they don't. I'm talking about, like, maybe 80 party subs.
Starting point is 00:29:08 And they come on like boards, bro. and you're cut like squares of them all different flip and they're wrapped in like plastic wrap before you get them because the subway guy drops them all it's just it's an amazing process but it was a spring so bees were like and I think I killed I had to kill
Starting point is 00:29:29 192 bees that day I got in kill B activation mode and I was like sting me if you want just rampage bro Uh, uh, see ya, bang, ah, uh, anyway. So like, we got the hookup. My dad works the subway scrimmage.
Starting point is 00:29:56 He's a head coach. He runs the show. We get to take home all the subway after the game. We're eating subway for months. No one's sick of it. Nobody cares. At school, subway for lunch. Four weeks in a row.
Starting point is 00:30:10 Doesn't matter. Dinner, subway. breakfast subway doesn't matter but we also got the subway cupcakes that nobody knows about maybe they only like gave them
Starting point is 00:30:24 to the catering or so I don't know there might still be subway cupcakes in my childhood home somewhere in the freezer buried back there but bro those things you warm one up after school
Starting point is 00:30:42 heat subway cupcakes real ones no Arby's 5 for 5 I mean we've been down this road before Cini manis yeah yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:31:00 KFC has a lot of these McDonald's shakers mix salad shakers in a cup dude salad in a cup is something that I've dreamed of my entire life and I know it sounds lame but I'm like I think a lot of stuff
Starting point is 00:31:24 that we eat normally should just come in cup form Ha ha ha ha. Yeah. Chop everything up. I get a crunch. It should be a cup option. I'll take one crunch wrap Supreme in a cup. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:42 They just slice everything up. Put it in a cup. I just drink it. KFC Twisters. I forgot all about those. KFC's revolutionary. That's what I'm talking about right there. Taco Bell Volcano menu.
Starting point is 00:32:04 And they had the hot fritos in the burrito. For me, top three all-time Taco Bell menu item. But that grilled cheese burrito is something different too. That grilled cheese burrito from Taco Bell is a monster. But my love is all. All you talk about this food. I asked an upperclassman girl to the dance. And apparently the only reason she said yes was because I did ask in front of the entire school.
Starting point is 00:32:39 She let me know about an hour later that she wasn't going to make it. to the dance with me so then I just didn't show up and I had to explain to the entire school pretty much person by person as to how I got rejected. Damn. But you know what? Some things you learn from
Starting point is 00:32:57 and other things aren't you 13 years later. Ballsy move, dude. Gutsy play. Girls out of your league? She's got to say yes. You probably did at the pep rally or something. honestly kind of a good move by her too like yeah like let's let's put on a show in front of the
Starting point is 00:33:25 whole school and then we'll really talk about this later good PR on both both sides for you guys dang man thinking ahead she made up an excuse just wasn't meant to be sometimes those dances you don't go to best nights your life i actually my plan going into high school was I had no idea that we even had dances. Going into high school, I was like, oh, there's, it is honestly, like, very overwhelming. I don't know if it was just me. How did, part 932 of how did everyone know everything?
Starting point is 00:34:05 10 years before me. I got to high school, homecoming. I was like, what the, we have to do this? I thought dances were over, bro. Then I was like, okay, well, I'm not going to homecoming. God. Winter formal. There's another one.
Starting point is 00:34:24 But the girls get to ask the guys. I was like, well, that's a relief, but they're still not going to do it. What a joke that was. Girls ask guys to the dance. I was like, in what world? I was like, oh my God, there's another. Never knew anything that was happening. I was trying to go every year in high school without going to a dance.
Starting point is 00:34:51 God, what a relief that would have been. I think I low-key might have only. almost one homecoming one year. I was like, wait, I might mess around and win. I don't even know if I'm going to go to the dance.
Starting point is 00:35:08 So much pressure, especially when you're a freshman. Dude, you ask, that is such a baller move. Asking an older girl to the dance. I was always my grade, bro. I was like,
Starting point is 00:35:18 I'm not getting, I'm not going, I'm not dating down and I'm not dating up. Like, we'll stay right here. She's got every right to say yes. But you date down.
Starting point is 00:35:29 It's like, damn, you must really like her. date up, it's like, shoot your shot. That's big time shot shooting. From deep. Never forget when I didn't go to
Starting point is 00:35:52 Homecoming freshman year. Had to convince all my friends. I was like, it's not going to be fun. Don't go. I was like, are you serious? You want to go to a dance? What's the cool part about that? I could not get through my head.
Starting point is 00:36:04 Just played video games the whole night. That's a relief. What up? So, I don't know if this is the type of heartbreak that you're looking for, but something that really breaks my heart, and it usually happens during every holiday, is that I don't get to spend the holidays with, like, the core people
