Hello Seekers!

Ben here, today Jacques, Hesse, and I discuss the fight I got into at Whole Foods while bleeding out of my face, Jacques refines his Squid Games-esque funeral plans, and Hesse tells us about the Oscars.

Intro & Outro– Sosimos Sacramento, Asi Eres Tu

Horse

I stopped the movie mindset cause I needed to hear my divas

Horse

Well I needed to hear ALL of my divas

Sean Enright

I think whatever advisor is pushing the gay rumor is just racist and assumes Iranians will rise up against a gay guy because they’re all homophobes. Some of them do believe in the mission of joining forces with the “resistance”

Shiv

Thx you just reminded me I can go back to movie mindset now that i’ve watched bugonia

Nicholas

Ben & Jacques going off on grocery store idlers is giving me so much catharsis THANK YOU!!

Richard R

Controversial LA rec: Wi Spa.

Patrick Gustafson

Ben is the most vindicated man in America, and I understand exactly what he is saying because the same midwestern hogs come to my city for vacation and refuse to acknowledge and basic social guidelines

piggy custardbuns

Jacques saying the lightbulbs were full as if they contain a lightbulb fluid that slowly depletes

Shiv

screaming at Hesse trying to explain how to be nice to strangers

Flubho

Yes, this is RAMPANT in WA state and it drives me insane.

Emilia

Thank you for your service Ben 🫡

Richard R

Other recs from a bi LA climate refugee (priced out of my lifestyle, also my parents' house burned down) living the heinous bisexual dream in Portland... - Precinct in downtown LA is the real real if you must do a gay club. - Porto's Bakery and Cafe (location on Magnolia) is the spot for all your pastry needs. - Lucky Boy Burgers in Pasadena has mid burgers and a legendary breakfast burrito that is worth traveling for. I go out of my way whenever I'm in town for a Lucky Boy breakfast burrito. - Rent a bike in Venice Beach, bike up to Malibu. It's the most touristy thing possible, but for a reason. Muscle Beach: Yes, bodies. Santa Monica Pier: Yes, old men fishing. Burnt out remains of the Pacific Palisades and Malibu: I haven't been back since then, but I want your reportage.

pat

the whole foods incident was recited like it was the sequel to falling down

Andrew Davis

Whispering, "Wake it up, diva," in Red Pill Ben's ear as he lies defeated by Matrix Agents.

Dongo

I think Jacques roller skating through Santa Monica and Malibu while Ben follows would be beautiful

Dongo

Ben you should go to jumbo’s clown room it’s super straight and an iconic LA spot for straights. Also go to Canter’s deli for a nice reminder of what life was like when New York producers needed a place to get a pastrami sandwich away from home circa 1987 food, (owned/cooked by a nice Mexican family so high quality) . If Hesse’s coming there’s lots of old movie houses and rotting old western sets on trails in the outer valley. if you have an Asian friends ask for a good pool hall recommendation where you can drink and play pool those are fun and there’s usually no white people there so immaculate vibes. And maybe Clifton’s? If you want to feel like you’re having a nightmare and really strong fruity drinks if you have nothing else to do? Idk but have fun! (Disclaimer: The previous recommendations were made by a basic bitch who does not get out enough. They do not represent the views of the straight-acting brotherhood, LA chapter)

Mya

Akhi Benjamín, after reciting the Shahada, was guided by his faith in that grocery store. His voice is powerful, Mashallah.

Dongo

Ben even Jacques said it: you ARE hotter than timothee chal-ma-gay! Be nicer to yourself king

Carmen Laurent

I feel as an esthetician that it's important for me to say that melanoma is in fact the worst and deadliest form of cancer. It is absolutely killing people of all ages. Get your weird moles checked.

Erika

Ben, I think you should have been even meaner to that couple at Whole Foods

Julian

Is solo mio a real movie? It's been playing at the only cinemark in my small city for what feels like 3 months, and that only happens with weird religious movies

Shiv

full of electricity diva

Q Goatman

shout out to the west des moines whole foods i used to make my grandma take me there as a teen when i was trying to be a vegetarian lmao

Stephen Holden

I’ve work as a parking lot attendant. I toil in rain sleet and snow to bring carts from the lot back to the vestibule. Ben, I understand that certain customers take far too much space, but everyone will get a cart eventually. Parking lots bring out the worst humanity has to offer, and maintaining civility is far more important than maintaining efficiency. I think a simple solution would be to bring your own basket, or even just a reusable shopping bag, to gather/carry your groceries to and fro the store. Americans are conditioned to the utility of shopping carts for small batches of groceries. In my ideal world, carts would be reserved for excessively large batches, the elderly and the impaired.

lunchables

Cried laughing at Jacques funeral segment

jude

We need Jen sillen back on rn

Kate

Team Ben. Couples are awful to single people. Also, happy to learn that Jacques is the Eric Starchild of Louisiana/Dallas suburbs.

Claire Simon

You guys need to go to the redondo beach pier!!!! It’s where all the locals go to fish and hang out and it’s where they shot a lot of The OC lol. Go to old Tony’s when you’re there EDIT ok I have 2 more recs: - santee alley/fashion district for clothes/day drinking/hanging out - angels flight!!! It’s a funicular!! It’s in downtown and it has a fatal accident like once a decade so there’s always a thrilling sense of danger when you ride it

Claire Simon

My credentials: I am from LA and so is my fam

Claire Simon

Clifton’s is still around!??????

“Scoop”

Gotta get Jacques on Doughboys while in Los Angeles.

J

woah Kris Jenner being Welsh makes 100% sense to me. I’m Welsh and Eastern European and it likely explains my weirdly stark dark thick curly hair, fair skin, dark thick body hair and Barbra Streisand nose as a non Jewish white person

Dongo

I think so ya

Zoe Hart

This is NOT your truck!

Lee

wi spa, sur/tomom for the experience but tbh the Ariana+Katie sandwich shop clears, watch a movie at the new beverly or braindead studios, thrifting/2nd hand shopping on melrose (wasteland!), LACMA, larchmont village, boardners in hollywood for drinks + fun goth themed nights... also dont be scared of the busses/metro they are your friends. have fun in LA :)

Weldingisgay

lmao this is like the third episode where Jacques funeral has been discussed in extensive detail

taejo-pom

Lived in LA for 9 years and can only rec Larchmont wine and cheese for sandwiches.

taejo-pom

It’s been too long

Ryan Lazarus

I'm not on team grocery cart but there were probably less psycho ways to get past the midwestern hogs lol

Layla

I’m on your side Ben and I would literally hire you to yell at my midwestern husband for doing this. He parks his cart perpendicular in the tiny aisles of our city’s grocery stores so that it blocks the entire aisle and says nobody else cares

Dixie normus

Random but u really should rent a car and go to Joshua tree or big bear!!!! Best part of California is its natural beauty imo

malefujoshi

obaa is a terrible movie but i dont think ben knows why

Austin Nutter

100% team Ben. I feel like I know those hogs. The guy owns a $2000 AR-15 with a $40 Walmart scope "in case shit hits the fan", wears square toed work boots to go to his insurance office job, and exclusively posts about college football on Facebook. The girl probably was really big into Save Our Kids back in 2020. They're both actively very cruel to drive through workers.

Bad Memory

Jacques’ funeral talk had me lolling

mahriah

Ben did nothing wrong

Connor Dickinson

The fight story has no good guys unfortunately

TC

If this nation had more Ben moments at all the grocery stores we could restore some semblance of a functioning society within a generation’s time.

Lars

studio city erewhon

Camille

Ben talks soo much shit on Shreveport </3 kills me every time

Ksizzle

Marty supreme actually came out on christmas day not in 2026

Alex B

When my mom visited me in LA, she really wanted to go to one of the Vanderpump restaurants and I got food poisoning from a veggie burger

Lizard

I'm begging ben to stop eating or whatever is going on with the sounds pls pls xoxo

Guy Incognito

Sorta, it's not the real cliftons it's a nightclub now that technically still also runs the restaurant. Cantor's has also really gone downhill, but is recognizable as Cantor's.

David Popoola

For the first time ever I’m 100% on Ben’s side. Those midwestern NPCs will be the death of me. I’m from Indiana lol

Guy Incognito

Republic of Pie in NoHo near the redline station is great for coffee and pie

Lizard

SD comment section voted most likely to have sensory problems lmfao sorry 2 complain, ty I can return to blasting it max volume 🫡

Lizard

Hated my ex for this but I would have to herd him silently like a sheepdog when we went to the store because he had no situational awareness and I would side with every person who had a problem with him. Red flag #1000 but the grocery store is a blighted field of war. Put everyone in their place. Movie theater also

Hana S

i work at whole foods and want to thank ben for his service

Guy Incognito

I support queer content creators, give Ben his 10 bux

Guy Incognito

Wi spa (and the irvine location mi spa) are pro choices, even if there was that weird sauna cop incident a few years ago.

Beau Williams

My LA recommend for Ben is leave LA and go to Laguna Beach for a couple days if ya can.

Andrew Davis

Not the Gay City it used to be, but still part of gay heritage.

itstgirltime

I extend my gratitude to you Ben for fighting the good fight and lecturing customer's, I want to yell at them every day I work with them but only people like you are able to bring them to justice

Connor O'Hern

i support ben's weird gay attack on dumb strangers ✊

Dongo

Fair lol I didn’t know that

Nicola

Hesse you actually should watch Sirat thoughhhh

Katie

I haven’t been in ages, but go to Casita del Campo! Lassens > Erewhon😤

Francisco

Woah. I want to commend Jacques. He was so pleasant this episode. He bantered, was patient when Ben and Hesse spoke, and was overall present. Kudos Jacques.

Kelly

not fun fact, melanoma can be completely unpigmented, go undetected and metastasize anywhere

owen

My theory is that people’s willingness (or lack thereof) to move out of the way of others (or just be conscious of how and where they position their body in space) is a class signifier. Entitled fucks are the ones who never ‘bend’ and will just walk backwards onto a trafficked sidewalk to have their friend take a picture. Ben pretty much arrived at this same point as I was writing it out. Shout out to a fellow ODD king I guess

Sisi

my fav thing in LA is going to Huntington Library but that’s about it. i agree with the others go to Joshua Tree and Laguna Beach. there’s good food all over socal especially mexican. LA has the best korean. long beach has the best thai. garden grove has the best vietnamese. sgv has the best chinese.

Sisi

start the day off in santa monica but look towards tha ocean cause most that shit burnt down, get coffee/Bevvys maybe a lil breakfast sandwich 🍳 take cute pics at the ferris wheel/pier etc then take your asses towards FAIRFAX get a photo with tyler the creator at the golf wang store (he the janitor) if you into thrifting hit the goodwill in fairfax (if i recall its 2 stories tall?) theres other great shops in that area + the LACMA is there as well. Hauser & Wirth is another great gallery if u guys are enjoy that. end the night with dinner in koreatown and top off the night with karaoke at a dive bar in the area. other things: -horseback riding near the hollywood hills -Lil Tokyo -Family Amusement Corp in Koreatown (iconic tumblr spot)

Gideon

Both of my paternal grandparents died of melanoma but they were both Ashkenazi Jews so do with that what you will

bfz

Predator Badlands got fucking snubbed!!

bfz

If they hadn't gotten rid of Elle Fannings bottom half it would have swept

The Marvelous Meredith Marks

Bethenny sliced her face open with something she bought off TikTok shop. #ItCouldHappenToAnyone

Emilia

Ben hit the nail on the head with the reason for the lack of care or shame ppl have…also largely narcissism/clinical entitlement

Emilia

They don’t care about spatial awareness..because that would require caring about impeding on other people…Jacques also made a good insight saying it’s an increasing issue…I think social media and everyone being more isolated and living more individualistically and selfishly and ppl getting any degree of “following” online giving ppl delusional levels of self importance has made this actually worse now than it just being “boomers” acting like this

Emilia

Yah I genuinely don’t understand how Timothee is considered attractive…like he’s not only not attractive i find his face really weird and offputting

Treacherous Bussy

Ben encapsulates my anger and hatred for the fellow human to such a beautiful degree. You’re doing gods work and don’t listen to anyone that says otherwise.

Elizabeth

please cover the Chappell Roan/Jorginho beef on the next episode!!!

Sav

If you're feeling really homophobic come to west LA - no real gay bars west of weho 💕

Glo-Lo

Ben forgetting how Kylie had multiple surgeries when she was 19 to get ass/tits/lips/ ??!

ts_babyjane

my childhood friends mom died from melinoma when we were in the 4th grade….

M'aux Robbie

I want a Conflict Achievement award

RahXephon

Kylie is Levantina!
