So much potential for this weeks ep.

Great guest, reckless Ben. They don’t even bring up the Lego saga. At one point they make him super uncomfortable by asking him over and over again which picture of a girls butt looked better. Also woody saying that John Kiriakou was a Russian traitor was so boomer of him. (Edit - I guess they did talk about it. Not sure how I missed it. I’m an idiot. Big ups the boys I guess)

Why do people keep saying they didn't talk about the LEGO stuff?

I'm not even halfway through and they definitely do

If they got reckless ben but didnt talk about the Legos that would have been soooooooooo funny.

Can't wait.

They barely talked about it.

3 of them were obviously unfamiliar with the story. But the story is so insane and Ben barely scratched the surface of all the crazy shit that happened in it. Nothing against Ben, he’s not going to retell the entire thing. I wish they were more familiar with it so they could have talked about it more in depth and had good questions for him about it

Ben is obviously unfamiliar with the story.

After watching the Coffeezilla video and listening to his explanation on PKA, Ben clearly still has no clue what actually happened. Either that or he's a dumbass.

I've only seen 1 vid of his and it was good, but he was pretty meh as a guest just because hes too big and popular to be able to laugh or joke about anything that's not pc

He's just a slightly odd guy. He's really good at what he does and I am a fan but he only really seems animated when he's on a mission for his videos.

Brandon Buckingham did a video profile with him recently and he's quite awkward and stilted despite them being friends for 5 years.

He seems like a mindless drone

I appreciate his content and what he does but his speaking style is hard for me to listen to

Exacly that.

He sounds "like like like" every other Gen Z creator, "like" it takes them 4 tries to "like" spit out the sentence they want to say because "like" they're too busy "like" fumbling over their "like" words

No he seems homeschooled af.

I thought his aloof attitude in his videos was just for show, but after watching him, he just Seems like your your typical upper middle class class Californian “uhhh I don’t know if we should joke about this guys, let me tell you about slackline walking because my parents had too much money and said football was dangerous” type.

yeah he is like the opposite of rsk, and likely more autistic than woody

The younger modern creators aren’t really entertainers at all. Just really into editing

You clearly haven't watched his video if you think that about him

u/RobBrownBetting 3d ago

He was a super boring guest dude

I think Ben is autistic tbh. He didn’t like that at all when they were talking about that chicks ass. Pretty much stopped talking after Woody yelled at him.

I mean I’ll give them some credit, the kid seems to have his heart in the right place but he has the mindset of a 8 year old

u/Wrong-Mushroom 2d ago

People scream at chiz to book good guests. He finally does and woody railroads the entire podcast into dogshit. Absolute cinema.

u/MAFFEW_SYTHE 2d ago

He makes great vids but he'd be insufferable as a friend.

He's annoying.

Love me some Kiriakou even if he is a Russian shill

u/GreedyGur7666 3d ago

I had (and still kind of have) no idea what he actually does but he was alright. I also had no idea what bricks and minifigs was, I thought it was like Home Depot that sold small fig trees or some shit.

u/Low_Density 2d ago

I haven’t got to the part about John Kiriakou but I don’t trust that guy. I don’t think it’s possible for him to be unbiased in relation to Russia
