Idea for the podcast. One of the running jokes you guys have is Ben always wants to go in vacation but Cristine doesn’t want to go. Make a podcast episode where Ben and Cristine plan a detailed itinerary for a week long vacation somewhere they have no intention of going to. I think it would be funny.

[@franpolyphemus4496]

This would be so interesting!

[@folded_pizza]

That's a great idea

I think the “boring” discussions are great examples of good communication. I think there should be some room for that in the future.

[@lemonz1769]

I honestly could have listened them talk about hot water for 5 more min. Inane chit chat can be fun.

[@cheyenne6913]

I also think lots of people like listening to these more "mundane" conversations because the pandemic has really isolated everyone. It's just comforting to feel like you're a part of a casual conversation when people are spending so much time alone. At least to me, that seems like part of the appeal

[@Look_look_at_my_cats]

Oh the misunderstanding about Ben speaking over Cristine sounds so familiar because Safiya and Tyler get that shit all the time, whether in videos or in their livestreams! Either Saf is accused of interrupting Tyler too much or micromanaging him, then she feels she has to apologize now any time it could be seen that way, then it's a whole thing, and the whole thing is just ridiculous because they have their dynamic and they're comfortable with it. People read way too much into things. Hell, that's one reason she took a break for so long.

[@silverkyre]

I love their live streams because i like them as content creators but it makes me sad how much they listen to things like that. Constantly trying to be okay with what chat wants and not just them being themselves. I think their content suffers just a little everytime because they cannot even relax or just have a normal conversation. Or crack an egg without immediately washing their hands even tho they admit on stream that they dont do that outside the stream, but somw pwople on stream might get mad so theyre doing it for that purpose. I wish they just let those pwople who are mad for no reason just be mad without trying to cator so much to those people.

[@Look_look_at_my_cats]

@@silverkyre yeah sometimes I just want to say like, look, tell chat to f off (as kindly as one can) you can't please everyone. It's alllllways something. Like the person who was all up in arms because Safiya wasn't wearing a hairnet to cook in her OWN HOUSE! As if anyone else was going to eat it! Like do they wear one in their kitchen? Don't be ridiculous.

[@silverkyre]

@@Look_look_at_my_cats Yes, i feel like they have so much extra pressure because of it. And they dont deserve that at all. I wish they couldn't even see the chat half the time. Like be messy and just say oops oh well and its fine. But its only the chat that truely micromanages one hundred percent agree about telling them kindly to fuck off about ridiculous things.

[@taylorjade6918]

I've found, the more creators cater to these types of people, the more it gets nitpicked and their mental health suffers and their content suffers. These people are meant to see something they don't like and move on, not force others to do things from their point of view. It just gets worse and worse, until the bullies have ran them completely away.

[@esmeraldagreengate4354]

@@silverkyre I could not imagine trying to cater to so many people's silly whims, it must be exhausting. Sometimes you just have to let people be mad 🤷‍♀️

Okay so if Ben wants hummus instead of a cake, hear me out, I'm a genius. Have a big plate of stacked pita/flatbread/naan to be the "cake" and have the bowl of hummus to the side, to scoop with the flatbread

[@alishac5096]

I love this idea! They could use cut veggies as cake decor around the edge of the plate ❤️

I don't really like sweets and cake All that much, so since a few years my mum has started to make me a Sandwich cake. She cuts up Sandwich bread to be rund and Stacks it. There is normally 3 types of layers with different kinds of spread. And you can cut the cake like normal and everyone gets a piece containing 3 different sandwiches. Its So Genius and many in my family have started to do the same for cousins or aunts that don't like cake as well. Its the best birthday "cake" i ever got, wo Feel welcome to try 😊

[@marzianah]

[@manney27]

38:07 okay, even at (almost) age 32, this one still hits hard. my aunt didn't like me either. the most prominent memory I have of her is her shoving me out of her way, not hugging me and going straight to my mom ignoring me completely at a big family event. at age six this hurt very much. and as an adult you are trying to understand that this is just life. but even though I am not very good interacting with children myself, I at least try at every possible occasion to value their presence, so they do not feel unwanted or neglected. yeah, they are sometimes loud and unreasonable and hard to be around, but I pull through it. I never wish for any kid to feel as unwanted as I was by my aunt.

[@cozeydaze]

Oh that's so sad about your aunt, I'm sorry.

[@GarliccDread]

I'm really sorry that happened to you. I don't really like or want kids myself, but it's not really that hard to just talk to kids like they're people. Just because one doesn't love children doesn't mean they need to pretend to talk to them like they're a baby or something. Just respect and don't ignore them. Listen to them and communicate. That's something I think I missed out on from people when I was little too

[@silverkyre]

Exactly, some people who dont like kids seem to forget that kids are also people. They are a whole person with feelings that is still trying to understand the world. But they act like they just get to be rude to children because children are rude sometimes but their a whole adult and should know better.

[@Amsayy]

People who hate children, I wonder how would these ideas of children contrast if you were to apply it to poc, people who are disabled, queer people, etc. Children are a group of people and worthy of respect if not love. It's okay to not want to be around children, if you can't mentally handle it safely. But you'll lose relationships eventually without making an effort. I'm sorry your aunt treated you this way. I don't have good memories of some of my aunts as well. It was clear they didn't like me from an early age and as a result I do everything in my power to have no connection to those who she's still involved with. I lost my entire mothers half of my family. I wouldn't trust them around me, my own child, anyone I love. People who hate kids it's just... they're in the power position here to make an effort for a healthy relationship. It frustrates me as a child who was on the receiving end of it.

[@renatadiniz3876]

Someone who needed therapy giving someone else trauma. I'm sorry that happened to you. I wonder why people refuse to treat children as people instead of things.

About the “power of comments” thing, I do remember something that happened with one of Safiya’s soap videos. A number of comments were calling her out in a way for using cinnamon in the soap DIY. And before I got to that part, I was expecting that Safiya didn’t do proper research. But she actually did and even pointed out that cinnamon in soap isn’t safe. The concept was her to really follow the tutorial video she was watching that’s why she used cinnamon. But she still responsibly shared the appropriate info about it. People really be reactive rather than proactive online I guess. Big sigh.

[@eneal2017]

Honestly if I found some half eaten cheesecake in my brothers fridge, maybe I would eat a piece. I’d probably ask first though. I definitely would not eat an uncut cheesecake before a birthday party

[@jenmarie115]

“I do not want to snuggle your baby. I will look at it and nod.” How I feel with every baby situation except for my niece and my best friend’s baby. 😂

[@k8giggles]

Cheesecakes take a long time because after they cook low and slow, they need to come back to room temperature very slowly to avoid cracking (normally they sit in the oven after it’s turned off for several hours). Finally they need to chill overnight. So yes they take a long time to make, but you’re only actively doing things for the first hour when you’re actually preparing the crust and custard. NB: This is for dense New York style cheesecakes.

[@esmeraldagreengate4354]

Yum😋

This makes so much sense - I’ve only ever made cheesecakes that take an hour or so and then are okay by the next day (and sometimes I’ll eat it sooner if I feel it’s set / settled enough). Thanks for explaining 😂😂

Been watching since the beginning! I'm so happy yall have reached this milestone on this channel! Can't wait to see more content from both of you :)

[@JaazBegonias]

I find a lot of podcast hosts talk about wanting to have more/not having enough guests on and what I see is most viewers prefer podcasts without guests. I like a guest once in a while but most of us watch the show because we like you and feel like we're getting to know you. We feel like we're sitting in a room with people we like and get to be involved in the conversation in the comments. You could talk about almost anything and we'd be entertained. It's really that simple in my opinion. I like the mix of informative, fun and even mundane topics discussed here. Glad you didn't quit anyway!

[@EmmanuelleBeaudoinRoy]

I feel like having guests might attract different viewers, but a less steady viewership. If a podcast I follow is with a guest i don't care about, I might not watch it whilst I watch every episode of guestless podcasts. On the other hand, if a content creator i like is on a podcast I don't usually follow, it might attract me and make me a fan !

[@MissAlmostFine]

I definitely agree. Most podcasts I listen to are because of the hosts themselves or the content they discuss. I will actually skip over some of my favorite podcasts if it’s a week they have a guest.

I am SO happy Cristine talked about how Ben talks over or for her because just about two weeks ago I was listening to one of the episodes with my fiance in the car and he tells me to pause the video and starts complaining how Ben should stop talking and let Christine talk. I told him it was okay but I couldn't really explain that was just how you both communicate to/with each other. There's more to it than just Ben mostly talking. I've been listening to the podcast since the beginning and my fiance has only recently listened once or twice. Can't wait to share this video with him!! lol Congratulations though!!

[@thereisa]

Congrats on 100 episodes! I learned that Cristine’s skin color is blue when inverted 🙃 Also, I think Jenna did it the best way… You should put on content for as long as it keeps you happy and content.. And whenever you no longer want to do it, for any reason, whether it just doesn’t fulfill you anymore, or you need a mental break or changing your life priorities… Then you stop. Don’t worry about the pressure from the public, it will always be there and you can’t let it be the reason why you continue, if your heart isn’t in it anymore. I’m one of the people who watches the whole episode every single week and it brings me consistent joy but when you guys decide to be done, it’ll be fine. The rest of us will find other things to entertain/connect with and it’s okay :)

[@tryandsaycecili]

As someone who's incredibly family oriented and involved in immediate family's kids lives, you aren't an ahole if you don't like kids. I will say maybe because of this you can just hang with the sister like give her a break from her kid, I know my sister appreciates me being a big part of her kids lives but I know she likes me as her sister too not just as an aunt. The constant updates are just her wanting to share her life with her sister I feel.

[@adrienne_reads]

I think the kid and non-kid people need to make a new deal. The non-kid people will treat kids as well as their most boring uncle, who is socially awkward and only wants to talk about the truck he is restoring. He still gets a hello, a hug (if your family does that), and if he starts a conversation he gets 5-10m before you excuse yourself. The kid people will never give the non-kid people a hard time about not having/liking kids, and will step in if a child is pestering a non-kid person or not letting them end a conversation. Because children are usually tactless and demanding.

[@hannahlydiagrandi]

I am not a kid person at all however when it is a close family member you do also need to think about the fact that that child will be a close family member for their whole lives and eventually they will no longer be a kid so you need to form a minimum of a bond with them for once they are an adult themselves since they may be a great peson when they grow up and it is sad to competely remove them from your life because of not liking them as being a kid. idk if that made sense but even though i don't like kids if they are people i know will be in my life long term i don't want to not have a connection with them whatsoever.

[@thenopedetective]

Yeah, and maybe talk about the kid a bit. He's such a big part of the sister's life, it's like not asking a family member about their favourite hobby or passion. It can be done, but by talking about it it will probably increase the bond slightly.

[@saralouise51532]

As someone who has struggled with a stutter pretty much my whole life I could really relate when you were talking about your speech difficulties. I also appreciate you speaking about it, for me living with a speech disfluency can often times feel isolating. so it is always nice to be reminded that I'm not the only one living with one.

[@nailsarelife]

When it comes to Ben finishing your thoughts, my boyfriend does the same thing because I have the same issues. After 13 years, he knows exactly what I'm thinking most of the time. It does get annoying sometimes, but I appreciate him when I am having a hard time putting my thoughts into words. So, I totally get it.

[@Katielovegood44]

As ben does such a great job hosting this podcast and keeping the conversation relevant and flowing, I do forget how shy and introvert he is. :) I must say seeing your youtube/viral journey is great. You vids make me laugh, but this podcast is just soooo amazing! I'm not a fan of streams but it's great to hear you enjoy it and trying new things :)

[@sadoof]

god the aita about feeling guilty over unfollowing people hit so hard. i remember i used to be TERRIFIED of unfollowing people because i didn’t want them to confront me and make it a big thing. eventually i just deactivated all the accounts that made me feel like that so now i barely use social media and i feel so much better not having to overthink the smallest actions.

[@katie18976]

I feel the same. The less I'm in social media and using it the happier I am. So I decided that my mental health is more important than liking all my friends or family pictures on Instagram or Facebook. If they are offended, it's their problem, not mine.

[@Ray_Vun]

same. i used to be worried that if i unfollowed someone they'd notice and start messaging me about why i unfollowed them. mainly because it did happen sometimes, with accounts that are super obsessed with keeping track of their numbers and use sites to keep track of people who unfollow them. i remember once unfollowing a tumblr and then within a few hours getting a message from them saying they'd be unfollowing me because i unfollowed them

[@sadoof]

@@Ray_Vun this was such a big thing on twitter too! once i unfollowed someone because i literally never talked to them and within minutes they messaged me asking me not to unfollow because we were each other’s first followers and it was so??? weird??? and they did it both times i tried to unfollow but the second time i just pretended i never saw it so i didn’t have to tell them i don’t want to follow them.

[@mandibarrett9401]

Cristine, thank you for saying how you feel about children. I too, really do not like kids, and for my whole life I have been treated like the devil for that. It's nice when people normalize that not everyone likes children. I really, really want nothing to do with them, however my nephews and nieces love me and I love them. I do spend time with them and even took custody of one when he was older. That, however, was my choice.

[@Thorium_Th]

Totally understand. I can't with children! The older I get the bigger the wish for NOT having children is growing in me.

[@NatieGreen]

Fully understand, i can't stand the idea of having kids of my own and don't like the idea of caring about kids, but kids love me for some reason 🤦🏻‍♀️, so I've become a great nanny (and getting paid well for it too) just because kids love playing games with me and showing me stuff even when i don't care 😅

[@NadiaYC1998]

@UCVuO47f8WyLg6nW4pbST80g Lol agreed, plus everyone was a child once, so how can someone claim to hate kids when they are a necessary part of human existence? I went through a phase of not liking/wanting children which ultimately stemmed from childhood trauma from my upbringing rather than actual dislike of children. Not saying everyone is this way, children in this day and age are a choice, but straight up not liking them comes off to me as though you dislike the innocence and purity of children.

[@Thorium_Th]

@@NadiaYC1998 I wouldn't say I hate kids but highly dislike them. Don't wanna harm them but I have the same feelings for kids like I have for spiders. I don't want them near me. They are necessary for the environment, fine, but they make me so uncomfortable.

On the topic of “boring conversations” between you guys it’s really helpful coming from a place where people may not have the best relationships with those around them.

An elected official in a large city attended a friend’s birthday party and left early, cutting a piece for herself before leaving and before the cake was “cut”. So yeah, it happens.

[@MsJeanneMarie]

Must this elected official remain nameless? lol Or can you tell us?

[@zahraabduladhim9103]

I've made cheesecake multiple times. There are 2 types, no-bake and bake. The no-bake takes less time (maybe 15 to 30 mins) and cooling time (put in in the freezer for 2 hours and you're done). The baked cheesecake takes an hour to hour and a half to bake depending on the recipe and your oven, it takes longer to cool too because you have to cool it before putting it in the fridge (you can keep it in the freezer to speed ip the process). So, it's probably the cooling time that took her a lot because with the baked cheesecake you have to cool it completely before decorating/ adding toppings.

[@saraa3418]

I get that kids aren't everyone's jam, but if you want an equal relationship with your friends and family with kids then you need to understand that as a parent a *huge* portion of their life is going to be child related. Asking them to not tell you stories about their kid is like saying, "I love you, but I hate your partner so when we're together, don't tell me stories about your partner." I'm just imagining trying to censor my 9 year old and 5 year old from stories about my day to day life and failing. It would be the death of my relationship with that person. Like on Saturday my kid woke me up by vomiting on me and then I spent the day trying to keep her comfortable and clean and eventually realizing that she was vomiting too often and having to take her to urgent care. The story of my weekend without my kid is "I had to change my sheets twice because they were vomited on." If you feel that the discussion is too centered on Jimmy's quest for a squirtle pokemon card, change the subject and bring it back to the parent, "You've told me all about what Jimmy's up to, but what about you!? Did you see what happened at the Oscars? What do you make of that?"

[@exploringplacesyoutube]

That is a fair take! Good points provided in a constructive response.

[@genericplantlife]

I agree with this. I absolutely do not want to have kids, but I worked as a teacher so for those years, about 75% of my life was stories about kids. What more for parents? Asking parents not to talk about their kids might remove like 90% of their stories and the things they are passionate about. I'm sure there are parents who would love to not talk about their kids for a few hours, but at keast the option should be there. So yeah, I guess a person who absolutely hates hearing stories about children would alienate their friends who have become parents.

I lost "friends" when I had my kid. Even after publicly trying for 5 years and having several miscarriages. After actually having my son. They decided nope. Because they want me to have a babysitter EVERYTIME we hang out. And that's not possible for me. BUT i have also gotten closer to friends that are like " yes bring the baby!" And they don't hold him or change him. He just chills with us. We play video games , board games , my husband or I have a few drinks while the other one makes sure the baby is taken care of and safe and we talk. When he cries they pause the game or conversation. When he's asleep they turn down the music. A baby doesn't have to diminish your social life. But it does change it. My son is my world. I quit my job for him. I got a nanny job that he can go with me to for him. I almost died during the pregnancy and labor for him. And it's okay for friends and family not to like kids. But we are a package deal ( I dont have much family so this is all I can really relate it to)

[@saraa3418]

@@mckinneypassios4273 I also lost friends after having my kid. A few years ago those women finally started having kids and started reaching out to me and I'm just like, "Congratulations!" and peace the f out. They wanna talk pregnancy and babies and I'm like, "Where were you, Courtney, when I was lonely??"

[@Fayetality91]

I've really enjoyed listening to the pods, getting to hear the views of people outside of my country and sometimes outside of my own beliefs I think is incredibly important. I really love the conversations between you both, and I hope someday you get to do all the things the pod was intended for. Not mad at all about the content we have gotten from the pod so far though! Every episode is different and so it doesn't seem repetitive or boring. Happy 100th episode!

[@X3nophiliac]

for the 'i dont like kids any even my nephew', i had a similar situation when my neice was born. i don't super like kids but i can tolerate them. I actually didnt like the baby at first bc well, the baby was ugly and my sister took pregnacy really badly and honestly became a pain to be around. so the combination of those 2 things made me pretty unhappy with the whole situation. however as time has gone on i like going over ad playing with the baby as shes starting to crawl. my sisters attitude has mellowed out as well. i still wont change diapers yet tho. 😅 i think it is pretty bad to not care about your nephew but id give her time bc children get better then worse as you have to stop them from trying to die(toddler) and then better although they can be loud. im taking it a step at a time and being honest with my sister about how much effort ill put towards my niece.

[@Amsayy]

When I first read your comment I was a little worried that it wasn't going to end the way it did. It's really good to see that you gave it a chance anyway. Your niece will love you more for it when she's older.

[@hridyanadappattel4400]

We first had Ben trying to start beef with Keith on Saf n Ty's stream and now he's going after eat the menu I freaking cannot 😂😂😂😂

[@lix2406]

As weird as this may sound, but I actually discovered this podcast first before I discovered Simply Nailogical (been living under the rock idk hahaha) but I'm just rly glad to watch all ur eps in both Podlogical and Nailogical channels 🥺💓

[@siennag4224]

Thank you guys for starting this podcast! It has continued to give me comfort during the pandemic and I can’t wait to keep listening! 💖

[@lauragueret]

Your podcast seriously got me through these last 2 years of stressy, remote covid work! Literally so happy whenever it was Tuesday! Can't thank you both so much :)

[@SarahUzelac]

I like the quiz episodes too, for the conversation along the way. It’s not about the result but the journey 😉 Also kills me that Ben wanted to start this podcast as an excuse to travel more and a global pandemic thwarts his plan. The man just wants a dang vacation! P.S. - happy 100 podcasts! 🎉

[@nailsarelife]

I'm way too into Simply content. I've seen every video on your main channel. I've seen all 100 podcasts. I've watched all of the streams, even though with my old schedule, I had to watch them later. I'm actually off Wednesdays and Saturdays now. So, I'll be able to watch them live more often. I think I've also watched all of the collabs on other channels. Not obsessed. I just enjoy it all. Congrats again on 100 podcasts!!! 🥰🥰🥰💅

[@kimmy6304]

same! enjoyed and still enjoying all the content. nothing wrong with knowing what u like and then taking the time to watch and listen to any and everything of whatever exists of that content, I think 😁

[@michelleharp9377]

Cristine I've suffered 2 severe seziures in December and my fiance pretty much can finish my sentences because he knows me so well. I get what you are saying. It's frustrating for sure 💕💕

[@svelli7473]

I appreciate you wearing the same thing as the first one lmao

[@kalengell1871]

The water tap one has been a discussion between my husband and I. I wash my hands in cold water and he uses hot water. Our kitchen tap warms up super quick and it actually hurts. My husband now puts the faucet on cold for me.

[@katie18976]

That's so nice and considerate. You have an amazing and respectful partner ❤️

[@bananachickenboo]

That’s very accommodating of him. Personally, I turn on the water to the temp I want. I don’t just jam my hands in the water as soon as it’s on

[@Amsayy]

If your water is heating too hot you can go under your sink and adjust the flow a little. Or you can go to your water heater and turn down the tank temp a little so you don't accidentally burn yourself! Good idea if you have kids, I worry mine is gonna scald herself lol

[@jadziajan]

@@katie18976 I personally think that's the bare minimum, lol. But it *is* good news for this commenter, since it seems that not everyone feels the same about it 😅

[@sjokkoladehjerte]

Do you leave it at hot for him? Or do you not think about it when you turn the faucet off? Why not switch to the old kind that are two separate switches, one blue one red, faucet? And how many times do you have to burn yourself to remember what side is hot and Wich is cold? I'm not trying to be rude, i am just genuinely baffled🤷 is it the opposite way from where you grew up or something, so like your battling muscle memory? This is fascinating

[@Candyy528]

Seriously cannot believe it’s been two years watching the podcast and I’ve seen every single episode 🤠 it’s crazy how much has changed in two years for me but at least I still get to listen to you two 🤘🏽💖

[@pastachyan5925]

I'm so glad the podcast didn't end early, I've been listening to every episode each week, it's really great to listen while I work and both of your opinions are so insightful and thoughtful and has taught me a lot of things. It's definitely helped me through some rough times.

[@FairyVampirechan]

The water tap question makes no sense to me, because if you have a lever type faucet, then the direction the lever is facing indicates the temperature it was left at most of the time. It is usually color coded with blue for cold and red for hot too, so if the lever was left on hot, you wouldn't just immediately stick your hands under the water. Also, if this is a constant thing this wife does, why has she not learned to check or wait for the flow to cool down first??

[@esmeraldagreengate4354]

Who doesn't check the water temp before shoving their hands under. You're gonna burn/freeze your hands.

[@stephaniemaslowski4912]

I really 1) love your podcast and channels in general and 2) appreciate you not doing tons of sponsorships. It’s so annoying to constantly have to hear about that stuff and trying to skip ahead. The podcasts with so many ads is soooo irritating. I love that this is really just about you guys!

[@tasha2248]

Congrats on 100 you two!

[@fedepereiraa]

I can't believe we are just yet in the 100th episode! I've through so much in my life in this time and the podcast has always been there for me when I needed a space to relax and be happy. Thanks for the interesting conversations, positivity and entertainment in this two years, let's hope for the best in the future 💚✨

[@darknezfire]

I remember a video where Cristine was sick and couldn't speak, so Ben explained the nail tutorial it was hilarious. and now Ben seems comfortable with the camara and speaking, it's so sweet❤ (hopefully we can have another of that video because now Ben's knowledge of nail polish has improved)

[@mrsfieri]

i can’t believe it’s been 2 years! watching back the older podcasts and seeing the collection boxes grow in the background and hearing the new launches brings so many memories. this podcast, holo taco, and simplynailogical have been such an important influence on be during the quarantine. it’s just so special rewatching old podcasts and having a memory attached to them, and having tuesday being a special day, just when i relax and listen to the podcasts.

This is my favorite video/ social mediums medium that you guys use. As someone who has been here the entire time I’d sincerely miss it if it was gone… it’s great getting to hear you two getting to sit down and hear what you think that’s less edited and real

This podcast has been my comfort place from the very beginning of it's creation:') u guys' discussions r always so interesting and the way u discuss topics even when u disagree with each other is "relaxing" in a way

I do appreciate you clearing up the "Ben talking over you" thing, I personally felt that way sometimes and after hearing your side, Cristine, it makes a lot of sense. 😄

In addition to the podcast being amazing, I think the community around it in the comments always makes me feel like part of a little family, sharing opinions and bringing up ideas that Ben or Cristine may not have covered. It feels so inclusive so thank you viewers
