Ben Almost Died of Embarrassment at a School Dance! May 19, 2021

Show notes

School dances can be a lot of fun, assuming you don't almost die in one! This week, Ben relives the time he thought it was a good idea to dress up as a bunch of grapes for a Halloween school dance and try to ask his crush for a slow dance. From the start, things didn't go as planned, as his grape costume, consisting of a tight green morph suit and tons of green balloons, began to fall apart on the ride to school. Once the dance came around, Ben was nothing more than a guy in a green costume. When he finally got the nerve to ask her for a slow dance, she rejected him so hard, he was forced to fill up on snacks and eat his pain away.
