Joey Bags Episode 22

The guys dive into their gloriously awkward middle school years, including Hoosier going from looking like he was built out of spare parts from a LEGO bin to suddenly becoming the guy everyone blamed for their “funny feelings” in homeroom. Even the lunch ladies were like, “Well damn, someone’s hormones finally kicked in" 

Joeybags relives his painfully awkward first kiss, they revisit school dances full of puff-shoulder dresses and Bon Jovi slow-jams, and they confess to getting buzzed in class off rum candies like tiny, alcoholic gremlins.

Recess gets the respect it deserves, Hoosier explains why he was 100% convinced he was Reggie Miller, and Joey reveals his gambling addiction started with Topps baseball cards.

And of course, they discuss the unspoken law of middle school: if your bookbag had even a hint of something that looked like poop on it, you were instantly labeled “Turd Boy” and your social life was over before lunch.

Awkward, messy, and a little filthy — just like middle school.
