00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
In this Laugh Out Loud episode, we dive into the hilarious and slightly mortifying story

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:11,760
of how one innocent attempt at making a pre-workout smoothie turned into a reputation-ruining saga.

3
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:16,960
When a mystery blue powder found its way into the blender, our storyteller accidentally dosed

4
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:21,440
his best friend Jake with what turned out to be Viagra. Cue the panic, internet searches,

5
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:26,640
and a whole lot of embarrassment from Jim Paranoia to relentless teasing from friends

6
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:33,200
and even a few memes. This story spiraled out of control in ways you wouldn't believe. Join us

7
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:38,880
as we unpack this unforgettable mishap, the ongoing fallout, and the important life lesson,

8
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:44,080
Never Trust Unmarked Packets or Your Overly Dramatic Best Friend. This one's a recipe

9
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:50,240
for laughs you won't want to miss. So, after the initial panic died down and Jake realized he wasn't

10
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:55,440
going to randomly keel over from a robe Viagra smoothie, we decided to skip the gym. Jake said

11
00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:00,960
he couldn't risk suspicious situations, which I completely understood. Instead, we ended up just

12
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,200
hanging out of my place and playing video games. Now, you'd think that would be the end of it,

13
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:10,880
but nope. Jake's a drama king, and he decided this was too funny not to tell everyone. The next day,

14
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:16,320
I get a barrage of texts from our mutual friends. Bro, did you really dose Jake with Viagra? Dude,

15
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:21,520
I'm crying. Jake said you were trying to sabotage his gains. Smoothie King overheard out to ruin

16
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:27,200
lives. It was relentless. Jake told the story to everyone, and somehow, the details got more

17
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:32,240
exaggerated each time he retold it. By the end of the week, people were asking me if I'd slipped

18
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:37,200
two whole Viagra pills into the blender on purpose. But the Raoul kicker came when we all went out to

19
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:42,320
a bar that Friday. Jake, still milking this for all it was worth, decided to announce to our entire

20
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:47,920
group that I was officially banned from the kitchen. Of course, everyone thought this was hilarious,

21
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:53,680
and they started roasting me nonstop. At some point, Jake says, loud enough for half the bar to hear.

22
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:58,160
Hey, at least he didn't dose all of us. Can you imagine if we all showed up at the gym like that?

23
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:03,440
Cute, everyone laughing, except for this one random guy at the next table who perks up and goes,

24
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:08,800
wait, you guys work out together? Are you in one of those, uh, specialty gyms? The table goes silent

25
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:14,880
for half a second before Jake, the absolute troll, decides to lean into it. He smirks and says,

26
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:19,840
yeah, it's a very supportive environment. Now, everyone's dying laughing, and I'm just sitting

27
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:25,600
there, facing my hands, wondering how my life spiraled so quickly. But oh, it gets worse. The

28
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:30,560
bartender overheard, and by the end of the night, I was officially known as Viagra Smoothie Guy.

29
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:35,280
They even wrote it on my receipt. Jake thought this was the funniest thing ever, and I knew there

30
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:40,240
was no living it down. The next morning, I'm scrolling through Instagram, and I see Jake's story.

31
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,800
He posted a picture of a smoothie with the caption, when your bro wants to give you more than just

32
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:50,960
gains. I immediately texted him, delete that right now, or I'm blending spinach in every meal you

33
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:56,080
eat for the rest of your life. He replied with, chill, Viagra Smoothie King. It's just a joke.

34
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,720
Thought that was the end of it, but then I started getting tagged in memes. Memes. Someone in our

35
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:05,600
friend group had taken Jake's Instagram post and turned it into a whole thing. There were photoshopped

36
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:11,040
images of me and his chefs had holding a blue pill. Captions like, when pre-workout just isn't

37
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:16,400
enough. The works. Try to play it cool, but honestly, I was looking mortified. Even at work,

38
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:21,200
a couple of co-workers who follow me on social media asked about it. I had to explain, over and

39
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,200
over, that it was an accident, and I'm not some weird kitchen chemist trying to spike people's

40
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:30,800
drinks. Of course, Jake thought this was all hilarious, until Karma came for him. Fast forward

41
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:35,520
to the next week. We're at the gym, finally putting the whole thing behind us, or so I thought.

42
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:40,160
Jake's on the bench press, and as I'm spotting him, he starts to struggle on his last rep.

43
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:45,600
I do the good bro thing, and help him rack the bar, but as he sits up, he looks super uncomfortable.

44
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,840
Ask if he's okay, and he says, yeah, just got a cramp or something. He stretches a bit,

45
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:56,080
but then he suddenly freezes his eyes wide. He turns to me and goes, bro, what if it's the Viagra?

46
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:01,760
Now, I know there's no way it's still in his system, but the sheer panic on his face is priceless.

47
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:07,200
I burst out laughing, and Jake's sitting there, half convinced he's about to keel over. Eventually,

48
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:12,400
he realizes I'm messing with him, and flips me off, but not before a couple of other gym brothers

49
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:17,360
over here, and start whispering. So now Jake's got his own reputation to deal with at the gym,

50
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,920
and I've officially decided we're even. To this day, though, Jake still brings up the Viagra

51
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,720
Smoothie incident anytime he wants to embarrass me, and honestly, I probably deserve it. Lesson

52
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:32,240
learned, never trust random blue packets, and maybe stick to plain old coffee for a workout boost.

53
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,800
You'd think that after all of this, Jake and I would let the whole thing die, but nope,

54
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:41,040
our friends wouldn't let us. Every time we'd hang out with the group, someone would find a way to

55
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,680
bring it up. If I even looked at a blender or shook a protein shaker, someone would crack a joke

56
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:50,320
like, careful, don't want to end up too motivated. But the real kicker came a few months later.

57
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:55,120
Jake had started dating this girl, Megan, who I hadn't met yet. One night, he invited me out to

58
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,520
dinner with him, and everything was going fine until Megan suddenly smirked and said,

59
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,840
so I heard you're pretty adventurous in the kitchen. Immediately shot Jake a look, and this

60
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:08,960
dude's just sitting there grinning like an idiot. Turns out he told her the whole story in detail.

61
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,920
Megan thought it was hilarious, and she even joked, if he ever makes a smoothies, maybe let me drink

62
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:19,120
mine first, just in case. Jake was practically crying with laughter, and I'm sitting there wondering

63
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:26,320
if I could fake an emergency and leave. But karma, as always, works in mysterious ways. A week later,

64
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:31,200
Jake came over to watch the game, and I offered to make some popcorn. He looked at me, dead serious,

65
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:36,160
and said, you didn't put anything weird in it, right? Couldn't help myself. I smirked and said,

66
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:41,440
guess you'll find out. The man refused to eat a single bite. So now, the great Viagra smoothie

67
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:47,040
incident lives on as a running joke in my life. If nothing else, it's taught me to double check

68
00:05:47,040 --> 00:06:02,960
everything I put in the blender, and to never, ever trust Jake with a story he thinks is funny.
