[@iamjezza1315]

Its so crazy that the podcast named after a dick joke has evolved into a podcast where there are deep conversations about marriage and love

[@winxclubstellamusa]

It’s called evolution ✨

[@Humanpersonname]

I really appreciate them talking about deeper topics and diving deeper into their emotional and relationship histories. It takes a lot of vulnerability to talk about this stuff in general but then to do it on a podcast, it really shows the maturity of both of them!

[@judafoster5587]

Well it's because ben is comfortable with his emotions where as noel isn't. He'd rather make a joke about how he or someone else is feeling than dig deeper into it. But that makes for an entertaining podcast. This is very refreshing and I would love to see then have there own podcast ben and cody are a whole entire vibe.

[@tygrenfell2364]

i agree (:

so beautiful to see

[@tonimartinez320]

I like how respectful Cody is of Kelsey and their relationship - like answering honestly that there had been rough patches but not exposing her or their connection by delving into specifics and driving home that a marriage and life partnership has to be built on actively choosing the connection and the person and puttin in the work to go the long haul.

[@dylanmiller1140]

Definitely, especially today people are so performative with relationships on social media it’s great to see someone who’s professionally public keep those details private and separate

[@emschlef]

Ben at 3:50 "I still chose and maybe I shouldn't have" is so relatable. The most important thing is to be kind to yourself as you look back on relationships.

[@marthex8166]

Hearing Cody talk about how he was in a bad place last year compared to how amazing he is doing now, gives me hope and excitement for better times that will be ahead in my own life.

[@dylan5965]

you got this!

[@PointlesslyNecessaryConvos]

Peaks and valleys, that’s just how life goes unfortunately

[@winxclubstellamusa]

Ben’s ex sounds toxic as fuck, he definitely should NOT have kept choosing her. I’m happy that he is finally free and able to be with a woman who will love him back and receive his love.

[@huzefa69]

I think he's single

[@winxclubstellamusa]

[@bruno0_u]

Just so y'all know, that ex who was 9 yrs older than him was from years ago. The recent breakup he went through was with someone else that they mutually agreed to separate but he was more upset by it. Just adding context from the full ep

[@chelsiepheenix5036]

😮Lou you like 😮

[@gz5405]

I love the vibe Ben brings to the TMG studio. His wildcard type of emotional vulnerability can lead him into crazy situations but it also seems to opens up space for other people to let down their guard and meet him where he’s at. Aw maybe Ket isn’t so bad you guys

[@Kat-qr7hv]

I like how open he is

[@MaddyBlu9724]

I totally believe Cody when he talks about his immediate connections with Kelsey. They really have an amazing chemistry in videos that I dont think you could really fake.

[@Eszmae]

Like a soul connection

[@gabriellemichelle5377]

its so refreshing to hear cody and ben being so serious and open

[@blake12396]

SO nice to hear Cody & Ben talk earnestly about ANYTHING without Noel interjecting with an off topic corny joke lmao I could honestly listen to Ben for hours, he has a genuine energy about him.

[@oliverjoyner-mccoll5037]

Sometimes you need some comedic relief but I know what you mean.

[@FirstnameLastname-zq8oy]

A lot people address trauma and sensitive issues they have experienced throughout their life through jokes and comedy as a way of dealing with it, and I’m pretty sure noel is one of those people, no need to hate on him for it 💀💀

[@blake12396]

@@FirstnameLastname-zq8oy when Noel does it with HIS experiences I fully understand it, but when someone else is relaying theirs? it just seems like he can’t help himself imo

[@KaseyMarshall]

i’ve been feeling this way the last couple months and can’t help but think i’m outgrowing Noel’s antics…he just comes off as a bully or try hard these days.

[@loganpraz2566]

Noel has been a buzz kill recently with his off handed jokes

[@adrianbanderas6895]

never really heard “loving someone is choosing someone over and over again” but when you think about it like that you can really think about people who don’t choose you, who you always try to make choose you, and just decide to stop trying to force that because they haven’t so why should you want them to. live your life on your terms people. there’s people out there that would choose you every time.

[@manicmoonpie]

it’s so nice seeing men being so honest about their relationships, good and bad. also Ben deserves better, that woman sounds insane

[@obiefunauchennasylvester]

I am captivated by your beauty, but I am even more enthralled by your wisdom. Can we get connected?👆

[@lando1224]

Dude this is the first time I finally hear someone describe love as actively choosing the person over and over, I swear people put love out to be something someone can’t control and it’s all feelings like no, that’s attraction. You can be attracted to some chick but you love your wife and choose to stay by her no matter what and never be unfaithful. That’s love

[@ohhthevanity]

Ben’s toxic ex clearly seemed to blame others for all her misfortunes lol and the fact that you volunteered to clean her kitchen, you’re an angel! Ben deserves so much better 💜

[@friday13thirteen]

not to completely armchair therapize this lady based on somebody else's story about her lol, but it sounds like she has a lot of issues with shame and not knowing how to deal with it. both of these fights happened after some sort of embarrassing misfortune for her that could very easily lead to shame spiraling. ("i fell at the climbing gym in front of everybody, therefore i suck at climbing and everyone knows it and i was stupid to even think i could finish that climb." "my apartment has a rat problem, therefore i am dirty and incapable of keeping a clean home and my boyfriend thinks i'm so disgusting he has to clean it for me.") and she can't sit with that feeling or move past it, so it turns into anger and then she needs somebody else to blame so she doesn't ever have to acknowledge her own feeling of shame. it's completely not okay behavior and would definitely make her miserable to be in a relationship with, but i hope she's able to get to a better place someday.

[@doid4354]

@@friday13thirteen Tbh I saw my past self with the way she seemed to respond to him helping her. I definitely struggled with thinking asking for help was shameful and it took a toll on all of my relationships.. partner, friends and even family. It took a lot to finally accept help, but it’s showing me change is possible!

[@oliviaguthrie6195]

So true!! This is exactly what I came here to say but you said it much better haha

[@ohhthevanity]

@@friday13thirteen that is true! hopefully she's been able to acknowledge that and heal

[@gagekell6907]

This was the most like 2 AM convo with the boys I’ve ever seen. Love it

[@poogissploogis]

Every young single person needs to hear what Cody said. Especially nowadays, it's so easy for people to idealize relationships like Cody and Kelsey's and to think that they never have any conflicts. So many people seem to think that a healthy relationship should never have any conflict at all, and they'll end up passing on great partners because of that unrealistic perspective. I knew the moment I first laid eyes on my husband that I was going to marry him, but that doesn't mean it was a perfect fairytale the whole time. We struggled a lot as we figured everything out, and that conflict is what forged the strength of our relationship. That's why I wasn't surprised at all to hear that Cody and Kelsey had rough patches. You can tell by their amazing chemistry that they've built a very strong foundation together through trials and tribulations. This gave me even more love and respect for Cody and Kelsey's relationship!

[@carefreelivingg16]

I would really love to hear more about how Cody and Kelsey as a couple reconnected and got through tough times I feel like these are realities that no one ever talks about and I would love to hear more

[@Moogsauce]

I really appreciated how Cody touched on mental health and the ups and downs of relationships, it’s refreshing to hear it normalized

[@spoidabetch]

the mental gymnastics that lady had to do to blame him for breaking her ankle & her nasty kitchen getting rats is next level 😆

[@andyrojas2179]

I know this was probably said already but it is truly so helpful and valuable that you guys touch on serious topics like this sometimes. When you’re going through a breakup o were in a toxic relationship, it can really be so incredibly life breaking that you might truly believe no one else has experienced such pain and disaster. Hearing this stuff from people I look up to and whose words I value, made me feel much more accompanied going through it and really helped me understand that even the “best” out there go through shit like this and that my world is not ending. Please keep this up guys you don’t understand how helpful it can be to so much people.

[@megsmagoo7231]

This was a great video and a great story, I related to a lot of it too and it was super entertaining to hear, feels like being there in the room talking to a real person. It's really really good to promote this space for men to talk about their emotional wellbeing. This is great.

[@TheBloggi]

It opened my eyes to some ofmy personal issues. Humans sharing is the essence of connection, we're so used to focusing inwards it feels we're alone, it seels like we're the only one going through this sometimes. Seeing someone else talk about their shit reminds us that this is just human experience and nothing we can't overcome. That there's life after the fact. THIS VIDEO IS GOOD SHIT

[@PRABODH97]

Ben's story of his previous relationship reminds me of a recent time that ruined me. She was way older than me, and I was groomed into the relationship with that person. I can still recall that person wanting me to show up for her which costed me my independence, my time with friends, and studies... Now Im trying to finish the extra two years of school I had to repeat cause of me investing so much time into that event, and I cant believe I still got blamed for not showing up for her, or not loving her enough, or not caring enough etc... plus all the mental anguish and problems I developed afterwards

[@e.producer1082]

1:26 that’s it. That’s what it is. I feel like there’s a lot of people who don’t think much about it, but having a similar sense of humor and complimentary personalities is so key for a long lasting relationship because friendship blossoms from that and that’s a solid foundation for a relationship. When you just get each other, it really enhances it all. Maybe it’s all by chance and luck but when you keep dating people you just don’t click with, it’s probably exhausting & depressing, then you come across someone who gets you, of course you’re gonna be super excited. The real luck is meeting that person, I’m sure some people never find someone who truly gets them, and settles thinking that’s the most another human being could get them and the most they’ll feel for another human being, not really knowing it’s very possible that someone out there exists who gets them more than the person they’re with and could make them feel more. Anyways Cody’s lucky he found Kelsey :)

[@dylanmiller1140]

Speaking to what Cody said about processing the pandemic. I graduated HS in 2020 and did community for a year then moved for college. I didn’t realize until about may of this past year how those especially initial months of isolation just absolutely destroyed years of social skills. Grappling with that has helped insecurity a lot but it’s really difficult when you don’t realize the active damage that’s being done to you.

[@noraalatabi9901]

Just for the record the reason, the rats came out after you took away all of their food supply because they didn’t have a food supply anymore 😂. That’s so funny with the earthquake go bad, because the one time I had rodents in my house it was because of a box of stocked food like that. But still… They definitely didn’t appear then… You were just able to see them lol. Also, w the injury… she’s an autonomous adult and that’s really wrong of her to blame you for being encouraging for some thing that she was considering doing. You need to know your own capabilities in life. If you lack self-awareness to the point that you’re not only bad at something, but literally are spastic to the point that you get immediately injured… That’s on you lol. I’m sorry.

[@wildearthling]

When people say "It shouldn't be this hard" or expect it to be "easy if it's right" they have the wrong idea about monogamous relationships. There are certain parts that do and have to feel easy in "true love"; sex is one of them, having moments of just getting each other as Cody talked about is another, but expecting the whole relationship to be easy and without issue is misinformed. And I feel like it's the fault of movies in the main stream that romanticize it in that way, but I digress... When you commit to one person you're supposed to understand that it will be hard. Imagine taking on an extremely intensive project that will take the rest of your life to complete with another human... How can anyone expect that to go without turbulence? To always agree 100%? You live, you "turbulate" together and you learn and grow forward. That's how you know you have the real deal; when you can disagree, argue, debate, but in the end, always arrive at understanding each other even without agreeing, and growing forward from there. That's the "choosing each other over and over" that old couples talk about. That's the "marriage is hard" part that people talk about. Learning to work together isn't easy, but it is so worth it and you see THAT in TikToks grandkids took of their adorable grandparents who are tickling each other and laughing at 90.

Hindsight is 20/20, but advice for everyone: NEVER keep it all to yourself. You have to have your own support systems and people you trust for advice and to lean on when in a relationship. I don’t mean that as people to talk shit to; you can learn so much about yourself and others and healthy relationships by asking family, friends, therapists, etc.
