Ben runs this entire fucking show he IS the 8 ball special because he has 8 balls to share this story publicly

[@MugRootbeerFanClub]

he stole one from Zach

[@picsbyshrey]

@@MugRootbeerFanClub and Zach retaliated by pretending to be a man from Bahrain

I actually don’t understand how it’s possible for Ben to be so informed where he can cohost a finance podcast, but so clueless that he falls for everything. Incredible.

[@marice8136]

Makes you think that it could actually be intentional for content or storytime, eh? He's got disposable income to do so. Pure speculation of course.

[@brookelovesu]

@@marice8136 no i think hes just actually funny n creative, just speculation ofc

[@marice8136]

@brooke No doubt about it. But I'm a cynic. And I always stand by the "Don't believe everything you hear or read on the internet." and "Always take everything with a grain of salt." It's on me. Not them. I do still enjoy their podcast; laughed hysterically at their episode with the Bahranian man and shook my head nonstop at Noel's first guesting, where Ben was willing to give a pair of airpods pro, on TM.

Ben is truly an enigma. He is so fascinating in how he can be the most intelligent person and the least intelligent person in the room simultaneously. It is riveting.

These episodes are like interventions for Ben lol, they probably had to make up “8 ball” as an excuse to sit Ben down and try to help him not get into these situations hahahaha

[@slowpeelz]

Whenever I see Ben has another embarrassing story, I know it's gonna be a banger episode of 8ball

[@maxxismycat999]

The way Emil asked “so you have a group chat with them?” has me crying

Emil looks absolutely delicious this episode. Props to his barber

[@sapphicshannon]

hi noel, had a great time babysitting your little guy this weekend. he told me he’s almost at the end of his treatment, so happy for all of you!! he also asked me who “mom’s new boyfriend” is so you guys might want to talk about that. hope everything is okay! let me know if you need me again next week. see you soon! ☺

Cody you can donate your hair to matter of trust! They use hair mats to clean up oil spills because you can get the water 100% clean with it and then wash the matts and reuse them again and again. Its a very environmentally friendly way to clean up oil spills!

[@MA-zg2pz]

Why do you think that the water can be 100% cleaned from oil with human hair?

[@emg.721]

@@MA-zg2pz because hair can absorb up to 5 times it's weight in oil. One of Matter of trusts hair mats can absorb up to 1.5 gallons of oil. It's the most eco-friendly way to go about it. And they've done demonstrations where they get contaminated water completely clean.

[@noahmay7708]

This sounds incredibly ridiculous but I still believe you.

[@GothicCitrus]

Ben getting jealous about Emil sitting far away from him is absolutely adorable

[@masontreks]

Noel got the Abraham 11s and Cody with the Bethlehem 7s 💀

[@MJ-xz8mi]

The first 10 minutes is just all of them being a little jealous. I love when guys actually talk about their feelings!

[@caraanderson3877]

Kudos to Noel for opening up a little about his eating/weight gain struggles. For most of my life I just thought I was "just one of those people" who just struggled to gain weight... but I also HATED eating... I was a super picky eater and until I was diagnosed with Anorexia in March, this year, I was COMPLETELY unaware of the sheer amount of rules and disordered beliefs/thoughts I had around food, eating, weight, etc... Eating disorders can be VERY insidious and I actively denied the possibility of having one but in reality there was A LOT of deeper stuff that needed to be addressed and I'm gonna be one of those people who get serious in the comments just to say that after my diagnosis... I strongly encourage anyone who says "I don't have an eating disorder, but I hate eating" to at least just get an evaluation. Sending big love and support to Noel 💗 congratulations on the weight gain 💪 keep going!

No joke, the stuff with Alena and you guys having a kid was so f*cking funny. I saw the post then people commenting so confidently that you guys have a kid and have talked about it openly before you got more popular. Then I saw Alena’s posts after I was soooo lost like wait do they have one??? 🤣🙂

The little life sharing segment is great, not boring to me Ben ❤! This week I’ve also been struggling to have the will to eat bc I just don’t want any of the options available to me atm. I’ve been regularly doing cardio so I feel good physically tho. I also really related to Cody saying “I like life better like this” in regards to being sober bc I hate stomach aches and being sober for a few months has helped my IBS immensely.

I was sober curious too, and I tried it back in Feb. and life was just easier without hang overs. I decided to stick it out. Do not regret it one bit.

[@caraanderson3877]

Good for you! That's really cool. Andrew Huberman (a professor of neurobiology) has a recent podcast explaining the details of how the negative effects of drinking alcohol FAR outweigh any potential positives to gut health (which is a big rationalization that a lot of people use to drink) if you have literally only like 1 or 2 drinks/week or something... it's crazy and very motivating to just stay sober
