Ryan: Breakups are very tough. Your life goes on, though. I was very sad after a breakup, but my life went on.
Shane: It did.
Steven: It did, and—
Ryan: But it does feel like the end of the world. That's actually one thing Shane told me, when I was going through my breakup, that I haven't really forgot. It did—it did help quite a bit. He had mentioned that when people go through breakups, in that time, it does feel like it is at the center of the universe and in re- reality, it doesn't really matter that much in the grand scheme of things.
Shane: I mean, it's one of those things where you can't—yeah—you go through those phases where you simply can't imagine ever [wheezes] not feeling horrible.
Steven: Loving again.
Ryan: Yeah.
Shane: And then eventually, uh.
Ryan: It was very helpful, 'cause I was pretty down during that time. But I, uh. We've never actually mentioned this in any media that we've done—
Steven: What?
Ryan: —but Shane has a very—it's funny to me now—and, look, it's—and we both find it funny—don't get angry at Shane—I think it's very funny. There's a photo of me [laughs]. There's a photo of me in Savannah, Georgia. We were filming an Unsolved episode. At the time I was very depressed and I was going through this breakup. You could actually see it in those Unsolved episodes. I had lost—I want to say 20 pounds.
Shane: Yeah.
Ryan: Like, 'cause I was just—I was unable to eat. I was just not—I had no appetite. And there's a photo that Shane took of me standing on the street with T.J. Marchbank.
Shane: And to be clear, when I took the photo, I was just like, 'hey guys!' [mimes holding up a cameraphone] It was just—
Ryan: 'Hey, look over here!' kind of thing.
Shane: Yeah. And then I looked at the photo and I was like, 'oh boy.'
[Ryan and Steven laugh]
Ryan: And you could see in my face I'm just not having a good time.
Steven: [to Shane] Do you have the photo?
Shane: Yeah!
Ryan: And look I get that this is, like, you know, a weird thing to think is very funny. [points to self] I think it's funny but—uh.
Shane: Well, in retrospect we can laugh.
Ryan: Yeah, in retrospect we can laugh.
Shane: Especially because, you know, it was a great time for T.J. 'cause he had just started wearing hair gel.
Ryan: That's correct.
Steven: [laughs]
Ryan: T.J. had never understood how to do his hair or use gel and so I guess we taught him how to do his hair.
Shane: So he's looking—he's like, looking like Mister Cool over there and you're looking like Mister Real—
Ryan: I—I look like a husk of a human.
Shane: Well, you're going through the—you're going through the motions of—you're smiling.
Ryan: Yeah. I remember just before this picture I had run, like, five miles.
Shane: So, to the naked eye, it's like: there's two guys. Let me zoom in on Ryan.
Ryan: [laughs]
Steven: [laughs] oh!
Ryan: Just the saddest man on Earth.
[all laugh]
Ryan: It was not a good time.
Shane: That was rough.
Ryan: But, a very funny memory.
