Ben’s Calamitous Weekend | Popcorn Culture

[@domc55]

Ben feeling anxious about his lack of anxiety is peak Ben

[@AJratcliffe]

It's a real thing anxiety sufferers get while improving through treatment. Feeling uneasy because you're not feeling uneasy, and then anticipating it coming later

[@Battle_Hippos11]

I was also going to say that! that's been the hardest part of my treatments. xD

[@mrtsunamiii]

We need a VLOG of Ben’s truck, and J’s dishwasher and leaky showerhead. SUPER invested into your home improvement projects

[@JennyThePlatypus]

I’m so glad Ben said to add him saying “it’s one of those things” to the bingo card because he does say that A LOT 😂

[@kaitlinsimpson9490]

Gardening tip here! You can actually plant the old shriveled ones you didn’t eat and it can grow into full grown plants. No seeds needed! My parents and I have done this for years 😊

[@prestonmccallshay_naneverl2188]

48:00-“Burpless buttery leaf lettuce”-Jay 🤭 😂🤣

[@stecky87]

That lawn mower blade story got me very anxious... I hate planned obsolescence. "If you're enjoying every step og the process until then, doesn't that make it worth it?" - what a great sentiment, Ben! Yes, the enjoyment makes it worth it

[@Kyamusuku]

Ben’s dangerous escapades stressed me out but the gardening talk was nice 😂

[@erinbullivant3156]

As a wife of an electrician I was wincing as soon as you said you wanted to cut the wire. Apparently almost everyone in the trade has a bite out of their main set of cutters for the same reason you do now Ben... You forgot to check with a tester if it was live and assumed it was dead. Glad you didn't lose your hand(s) during your experiences this past weekend.

[@McSparky13]

Dang Ben. 😮😅 I'm really happy you're still with us ❤️. I'm the same with tools. I try, but maybe I shouldn't 😂

[@EliasCullen]

Being an adult is just, "waiting for the next thing to break."

[@AJratcliffe]

I listened to part of this episode while standing in the hardware store, trying to work out what the right wood stain I should buy is, when theres a hundred different ones and too embarrassed to ask which one I need 😂

[@inspiredshelf]

😂 Did you find the right one in the end?!

[@corgimom5626]

Jay, my grandpa was an expert gardener and he grew large beefsteak tomatoes (or cordon) tomatoes. He always used tomatoes cages. You will do great! And omg the story of Ben’s car detailing drama. I am sorry but I was crying laughing

[@mekocampuzano5030]

People put all kinds of lettuce in salad! My favorite quote 😂😂

[@oliviarichards24]

okay so three stories/thoughts: 1. my automotive teacher said every year he takes an airbag out to the field, sets a donut on it, and sets it off as a fun safety demonstration. unfortunately covid happened in the middle of freshman year so we missed out on that glorious experience 2. both how to loose a guy in ten days and 10 things i hate about you are great and i totally recommend giving them a shot 3. j have you considered that everybody in your area that has tomato needs already has a tomato holder from years prior and you are just late to the tomato party? or that mayhaps they built one of those fun lattice archways? really the people are the hardware store should be glad somebody new has satisfied their tomato needs with their company

[@corgimom5626]

2. Omg yes both amazing 90s/early 2000s movies.

[@crimsonroses1]

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger really applies to home ownership, especially when you own an older home. We completely demoed and renovated out 1960s built by the owner prebuilding inspection house. ALOT of sketchy things went down.

[@amydhm]

@Ben... it was a weekend of sharpening mishaps. I had to get 3 stitches on my finger...I'm referring to it as the great guacamole incident of 2024.

[@psychojoe4764]

Geez Ben really almost Final Destination-ed himself

[@EdwardENigma-ry1io]

As a boston native let's Go CELTICS!!!!!!

[@endrshdw]

You should check out the Sun Eater series. No spoilers but it explores Ben’s alternate reality fears in some interesting ways.

[@krys6698]

Maybe you just happened to go to the store right after they put out a new shipment after selling out of the first shipment? Also I flinched when you were talking about the lawn mower blades. I litterally shook my hands out like I had just done the same thing. Very descriptive 😂

[@sadhbhcorr942]

Oh my gosh guys, I got so excited when I saw Air Bud in the description of the video. All Air Bud movies and its spin-off movies were my childhood. I think six of them are available of Disney+. I've seen all Air Bud movies as a kid, the ones where he played basketball (like y'all), football, soccer, baseball and volleyball. They were all really, really good. Of course, I'm a dog lover, so I think I've established a bias of "any movie or series that has a dog or dogs in it I'm going to love". Also, J, the Air Bud spin-offs aren't about sports playing dogs. The first lot, the Air Buddies series, are just about Buddy's (Air Bud) five puppies going on various adventures, usually by accident, and making friends along the way, their adventures could be in Outer Space, Ancient Egypt, or just as superheroes in their own little village in Washington, and there's always a lesson they, and the kids at home, learn at the end. I grew up with them as a kid. There are also several other spin-offs that I grew up watching, like three Christmas Specials from the same company and other puppy related content.

[@AHufflepuffAndASwiftie]

No Corny Joke, no Wick Of The Pick, AND no FunFact @ ALL this week!! C'mon, guys!! JK!! 😅

[@YenShively]

They haven’t done it in like a year. I think it’s time to let it go 😂

[@AHufflepuffAndASwiftie]

@@YenShively I am kidding, lol!! 😆 Hence, the “JK” at the end!! 😅

[@YenShively]

@@AHufflepuffAndASwiftie oh I gotcha haha. I saw, I just notice you say it almost every week so just popping in lol. The pod has definitely turned into an amazing conversation between brothers and I don’t mind any of the old stuff being missing. What they do now is much more natural 🥰

[@rhodryaddis9477]

As someone who live in Indiana... Go Pacers

[@kitfisto5132]

it turns out joe gardener is a real youtuber

[@chrisdtgordon5331]

It’s probably easier to use professional basketball in movies than other sports because it’s indoors and the court is the smallest of all major pro sports playing areas.

[@Battle_Hippos11]

I find it hilarious that so many of these boys stories are them refusing to have a professional come and deal with something for them. Lol i cant really say much bc i too "can do it myself" i say as i take apart my disheasher and now dont remeber how to put it back together..... Was i in a manic cleaning situation....maybe.... Does it work again yes...so i must have done something right.

[@lissaweers346]

i was a landscaper, pelse be more careful playing with the mower.

[@mekocampuzano5030]

Omg, I didn't watch air bud, turned off after clown is mean to dog, made me so sad as kid 😅😢

[@Xanderbfrye]

First!
