I can't believe Ben didn't call us Super Simps. i miss it already

[LunaticLynne]

"what's a shiba" "i don't know" - this is the most shocking exchange i've seen in this channel

[cheyenne]

5:04 when Cristine says "what's a shiba?" that is peak cat person energy. All dog people are cringing

[Lavendariahaze]

When Ben said we should treat all addiction as public health issues rather than criminalizing it, I legit started clapping lol.
So glad he gets it.

"This was the most succesful launch Holo Taco has ever had" I see those billboards of Ben payed off

[eiya]

I was gonna say "watch out Cristine, Ben is rocking the Dad 'stache" but I guess it's actually meant to function as a disguise after all the billboards

[elisaslibrary]

As someone who gets migraines I'm honestly way more annoyed at people telling you what you have is not a migraine just because your experience is different than theirs, than people saying they have a migraine when they really just mean a headache lol

[dianeschmidt]

I would watch an entire podcast of Ben just explaining a movie to Cristine that she has never seen

[nei_chan]

As a mega theatre kid and someone that owns a bunch of stuffed animals, I felt SO ATTACKED in the beginning ;-;

[sylphium]

I'm definitely lonely and just like sleeping with something. I had a cat who used to sleep with me but not often, and after he passed away I found myself hugging more on my stuffed animals. normalize it, fight me

[NEETGirlGaming]

bens childhood obsession with monkeys is not helping the banana jokes die 😭😭

[siggyswatches]

5:24 was a missed opportunity to say, “aRe yOu KiDdiNg?! Of cOurSe I dOn’T sLeEp WiTh a StUfFeD aNiMaL!”

[sharkandfoxgaming]

next week: show Cristine random clips from marvel movies with no context and have her guess or figure out what's supposed to be happening and who's in the clip

[beckyeastham]

Having big boobs is overrated, can confirm. Back pain, posture issues, finding shirts and bras is impossible... it sucks.

[VanessaBacca]

I need a Marvel podcast where Ben tries to explain every movie plot to her. Or make her guess every super hero by their picture.

Megamind is a pretty good example of having the “villain” as a main character. It’s a great movie and very funny.

[shawnaviola]

“The best holo taco launch to date” I wonder if this has to do with Ben’s billboards 🤔🧐

[diffzldu]

the stuffed animal thing has to do with anxiety sometimes. it's kinda like comfort shows or comfort foods. it helps them feel better

[victoriawinter]

I’m 22 and have depression/anxiety so I usually sleep with a stuffed animal. My partner doesn’t mind at all.

[Chaotic_Pixie]

Grown, married adult... still sleep with a stuffed bear and my childhood one on my nightstand (he's very delicate). Normalize healthy coping behaviors. I used to be terrified of the dark as a child or rooms that are too quiet or being alone. Having a teddy bear makes me not feel alone. Yes, I have cats. No they won't let me cuddle them. Yes, there's a difference between cuddling a small teddy bear and being cuddled as a small teddy bear by another human.
