- 2:34SPEAKER_01: This episode is not sponsored by Big B coffee because um I've had it for the second time now, and it's not even very good.
- 2:42SPEAKER_01: I'm just not even gonna lie to you.
- 2:43SPEAKER_01: It's not not like a quality coffee, you know.
- 2:47SPEAKER_01: No.
- 2:47SPEAKER_01: Uh they've been making coffee since 1995, and still they still haven't got it right yet.
- 2:51SPEAKER_01: I've gotten two overpriced coffees from them.
- 2:56SPEAKER_01: One hot coffee, a latte, and the other one was a cold brew coffee, whatever.
- 3:01SPEAKER_01: And the cold brew was uh sugar with a splash of mocha, and the hot one was water with a splash of vanilla.
- 3:07SPEAKER_01: They just can't get the mix right.
- 3:09SPEAKER_01: And it's that point where it's like, you know what, I've tried it twice.
- 3:12SPEAKER_01: Uh, I can make my own better cup of coffee than what they're giving me right now.
- 3:16SPEAKER_01: And again, like I said, it is overpriced, and it's just not very good.
- 3:20SPEAKER_01: Not very good.
- 3:21SPEAKER_01: And uh, and I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm done with it.
- 3:25SPEAKER_01: Um I've tried, I've gave it a fair shot.
- 3:28SPEAKER_01: I'm done with it.
- 3:29SPEAKER_01: I don't I don't want this coffee no more.
- 3:31SPEAKER_01: So, with that being said, this one gets the first flush of the day.
- 3:45SPEAKER_01: I got a toilet sound effect going on, man.
- 3:48SPEAKER_01: Yeah, big big beat coffee, flush, flush it down.
- 3:51SPEAKER_01: Flush of the day.
- 3:52SPEAKER_01: It's just not a very good coffee.
- 3:53SPEAKER_01: And uh, if you're gonna just get you some coffee, get you some Starbucks.
- 3:57SPEAKER_01: I don't do I don't do Dunkin'.
- 4:00SPEAKER_01: You know, I they have we have some local shops around here that are better than Big B coffee.
- 4:05SPEAKER_01: But with that being said, this they are not sponsoring the show today, so screw Big B coffee.
- 4:10SPEAKER_01: I'm not trying that stuff no more.
- 4:12SPEAKER_01: Um, today's episode, today's episode, we're gonna go to the old school way of doing it.
- 4:17SPEAKER_01: Uh, what do you mean?
- 4:19SPEAKER_01: Type title, which is titled, What do you mean you need to experience heartbreak?
- 4:25SPEAKER_01: And you may be like, yeah, what why would you want to experience that pain and that's that type of feeling?
- 4:31SPEAKER_01: And again, I'll get to it and how how I recovered from that.
- 4:36SPEAKER_01: But let me tell you how this all started.
- 4:37SPEAKER_01: This all started by getting a job.
- 4:40SPEAKER_01: I got a job at the local movie theater here in Hamilton, and I gotta say, uh, working on a movie theater is probably the best thing that that happened to me at this young age or time.
- 4:49SPEAKER_01: The reason why is because you get to meet one, you get to meet a ton of people that come in, because it's you know, movies, everybody wants to go see a movie and all that good stuff.
- 5:00SPEAKER_01: Good way to interact with people, and then also, excuse me, that um I got I met some good people, man.
- 5:09SPEAKER_01: And um mega people who work there at the movie theaters with me.
- 5:12SPEAKER_01: One of my sidebar, one of my favorite people that I met was Brian.
- 5:16SPEAKER_01: Uh, me and Brian, we used to have wrestling matches up in the projection room on old popcorn bags, old old stale popcorn bags that we would sorry, lend the letting the uh theater sequence out.
- 5:26SPEAKER_01: We would bag old popcorn and then sell it the next day.
- 5:30SPEAKER_01: Whatever.
- 5:31SPEAKER_01: I mean, we did what we did and everybody ate it and nobody complained.
- 5:34SPEAKER_01: We used to have wrestling matches up there and like all the big blows, like the stunners and you know, the Lariates and all that stuff.
- 5:41SPEAKER_01: We were landing that bag of old stale popcorn.
- 5:48SPEAKER_01: So, yeah.
- 5:49SPEAKER_01: You you if you go to a movie theater now, you're probably getting stale popcorn.
- 5:52SPEAKER_01: But you probably knew that already without me telling you that.
- 5:56SPEAKER_01: But this all started when I was an Usher uh at the movie theater, and Usher was, you know, probably ripped a ticket and said, Hey, your theater is 0 theater 5, 0 to your right, enjoy your show, uh, your movie 9, straight ahead, enjoy your show.
- 6:12SPEAKER_01: That's how it used to be back then.
- 6:14SPEAKER_01: I used to meet a lot of people this way, and then this is how I met my my friend to this day, April.
- 6:21SPEAKER_01: April was like this little girl, this woman, this little girl that I met back then, and we just hit it off.
- 6:28SPEAKER_01: Like, hey, we she would come to the movies, I wouldn't, you know, I wouldn't charge her, you know, give her a pop and all that stuff.
- 6:33SPEAKER_01: We would just become good friends and stuff.
- 6:35SPEAKER_01: So our relationship at the time, it wasn't defined.
- 6:38SPEAKER_01: It wasn't like, hey, this is my girl, blah, blah, blah.
- 6:40SPEAKER_01: We just hung out a lot.
- 6:42SPEAKER_01: And she would come every Friday.
- 6:44SPEAKER_01: Same thing.
- 6:44SPEAKER_01: Let her in, give her some snacks, something, you know, as she watched the theater, and that was that.
- 6:49SPEAKER_01: So, um, as our relationship started to grow, we became fond of each other and being being friends, we started introducing me to some of her friends, some of her friends that I met.
- 7:01SPEAKER_01: One of the girls that I met.
- 7:02SPEAKER_01: It's Brittany, bitch.
- 7:05SPEAKER_01: For this story, we're gonna call her Britney.
- 7:08SPEAKER_01: Huh.
- 7:08SPEAKER_01: Go figure.
- 7:12SPEAKER_01: I met Britney through April.
- 7:16SPEAKER_01: And, you know, it just I was smitten by her.
- 7:20SPEAKER_01: You know what I'm saying?
- 7:20SPEAKER_01: I was like, okay, this one, this one's cute.
- 7:23SPEAKER_01: Yo.
- 7:24SPEAKER_01: So initially I was like, you know, trying to keep it on the low light, you know.
- 7:27SPEAKER_01: I'm I you know, I met you, April, but you know, I'm digging your friend Brittany.
- 7:32SPEAKER_01: Right?
- 7:33SPEAKER_01: And again, of course, she she wasn't too fond of that idea.
- 7:36SPEAKER_01: She got mad at me.
- 7:37SPEAKER_01: We were talking, I was talking on the phone and saying, look, you know, no disrespect, da-da-da-da-da.
- 7:42SPEAKER_01: But I want to talk to Britney.
- 7:43SPEAKER_00: She's like, No, you can't talk to Brittany.
- 7:45SPEAKER_00: Hate you.
- 7:46SPEAKER_00: Like, I hate you too.
- 7:47SPEAKER_00: Going back and forth, like, well, screw you, well, screw you two, well, don't call me no more.
- 7:51SPEAKER_00: I said, fine, hang up, click, click.
- 7:54SPEAKER_01: And I thought that was it.
- 7:55SPEAKER_01: And what cemented the friendship between me and April is that she called me back the next day.
- 8:00SPEAKER_01: Like, hey, what you doing?
- 8:01SPEAKER_01: So I'm just chilling, chilling in my room, playing some video games, you know, playing some Tekken, some Final Fantasy, some Tech Mobile.
- 8:08SPEAKER_01: And so, oh, that's cool.
- 8:10SPEAKER_01: So we come into the movies Friday.
- 8:12SPEAKER_01: Can I still get in?
- 8:12SPEAKER_01: I said, Yeah, sure.
- 8:13SPEAKER_01: And that cemented the friendship.
- 8:15SPEAKER_01: Like we were friends from that point on, and still to this day, fast forward X amount of years, we were friends.
- 8:22SPEAKER_01: We were friends this whole time.
- 8:23SPEAKER_01: We're still remaining friends to this day, right?
- 8:25SPEAKER_01: Knewer kids, kids is all grown up.
- 8:27SPEAKER_01: It's real crazy.
- 8:28SPEAKER_01: But we're friends, right?
- 8:30SPEAKER_01: That's a whole nother story for a whole other time about me in April.
- 8:35SPEAKER_01: So we started talking, me and Brittany started talking.
- 8:38SPEAKER_01: It's like, hey, you know, hey, how you doing?
- 8:40SPEAKER_01: Blah blah blah.
- 8:41SPEAKER_01: Chit-chatting.
- 8:42SPEAKER_01: Things started taking off.
- 8:44SPEAKER_01: And we know we started getting, you know, I guess you call it, a little more serious than the friendship.
- 8:49SPEAKER_01: Started hanging out.
- 8:51SPEAKER_01: Uh, mind you, back then I didn't drive.
- 8:54SPEAKER_01: So I had to bike ride across the river just to go see her.
- 8:58SPEAKER_01: I had to had to go across the river, bike ride, and see her.

- 15:16SPEAKER_01: Have the relationship, right?
- 15:17SPEAKER_01: And so how would we communicate?
- 15:19SPEAKER_01: We communicated through the neighborhood, like aka like I would give a letter to somebody who lived in her neighborhood, and she would give a letter to someone that lived around me, and we would exchange letters.
- 15:32SPEAKER_01: You see, this is before cell phones, and everybody had a cell phone back then.
- 15:36SPEAKER_01: You just text message somebody.
- 15:38SPEAKER_01: No, you you couldn't do that back in the day, right?
- 15:40SPEAKER_01: We had to send letters, letters.
- 15:44SPEAKER_01: So we were sending letters back and forth.
- 15:46SPEAKER_01: I was like three days late.
- 15:47SPEAKER_01: We would call each other, like, hey, did you get my letter yet?
- 15:49SPEAKER_01: No.
- 15:49SPEAKER_01: So well, then I don't got nothing to talk about.
- 15:51SPEAKER_01: Oh, okay.
- 15:52SPEAKER_01: Well, when I get my letter, I'll call you.
- 15:53SPEAKER_01: Click, and that's how it's that's how it used to be, surprisingly.
- 15:56SPEAKER_01: So we would do that, and you know, that's how we communicate, stay in contact.

- 30:32SPEAKER_01: So, yes, that helped me recover from the heartbreak.
- 30:36SPEAKER_01: But what I'm trying to say is, throw your something, throw yourself into something else so you don't be absorbed, 100% absorbed in your heartbreak.
- 30:46SPEAKER_01: And then also, in the last part of the message, is I'm sorry, just don't let your heartbreak consume you.
- 30:55SPEAKER_01: Yes, it hurts, and yes, it's the probably one of the worst feelings you got when you're a young person.
- 31:01SPEAKER_01: But that lets you know that what love is and what love is not, and weed.
- 31:12SPEAKER_01: Don't do drugs, kids.
- 31:14SPEAKER_01: With that, with that being said, we're gonna end the episode on that note I'm your host, Michael Gillespie of the WDUIM.
