Joe and Wad met their freshman year of college and quickly became close friends - bonding over their love of music, history, and all things Iowa Hawkeyes.

Larry and Joe met playing cornhole at a mutual friend's graduation party, went on to attend college together where they became inseparable friends and fierce advocates of mustaches.

Eric and Joe met playing a pick-up game of basketball in high school. Bonding over their love of music, camping and road trips, Eric and Joe have driven thousands of miles together over the last 15 years - from Colorado to Tennessee, Michigan to Louisiana, and everywhere in between.

Cozzi is Joe's oldest friend, meeting before kindergarten and remaining close friends to this day. The picture above is split - the bottom is a photo Joe's mom keeps on her dresser showing Joe and Cozzi together on the last day of Kindergarten, and the top is the two flipping through a book on John Lennon 25 years later.

Chris and Joe met in high school and quickly bonded over their shared love of music and sports. Chris and Joe have remained very close over the last 15 years - both going to college in Iowa and visiting each other regularly, and eventually sharing a duplex in Chicago with several other friends (and groomsmen!).

Gio and Joe met in middle school, and formed a lasting friendship based on a very odd reason - their Spanish teacher could not tell them apart. Joe and Gio's response to this was, of course, to sit next to each other every day. While their friendship has matured over the last 2 decades, their sense of humor certainly has not!
