I love that Ben asked Emil “do you know who I’m gonna apologise to” as if the only reasonable answer was the Unibomber and it’s silly of Emil to not know that
This is the best podcast episode I’ve ever seen in my life. Sobbing right now and rethinking the way I think about entertainment as a whole, thank you ben and Emil
As someone who works in the USPS, we work with UPS extremely close, as does Amazon. I know that work from their strike is going to swamp us, and carriers within the postal service have talked about using it as an opportunity for us to get better bargaining leverage as well.
As with most creators online, I respect their ability to coax money out of people who clearly have too much of it. But I lost several of my few remaining braincells and my will to live just watching a few seconds of whatever that was
My favorite thing is seeing a tiktok of someone going “omg I just found out how much this makes. If you see me on live doing this, mind your business” and hours later I’ll see them on live doing that
For starters, I fully support the strikes. That being said, my roommate made the most Ben-style joke about it yesterday. "I really want to support the SAG strikes, but it's so confusing. Too many paid actors"
the greatest thing about this writers strike and the streaming wars is that it exposed how all of these companies got greedy at the same time, all thought they could replicate netflix's success, realized how INSANE it is to produce content at that scale without destroying themselves, and will eventually all shut down and go back to producing content for netflix. i predict disney+ will shut down in 2 years
I don't think Disney+ will because it's like an actual company that produced things pre-streaming platform. Disney+ just put all the stuff they already had on their own platform.
Ben! I love this new format so much, but I just gotta let you know that I love and think fondly of the cold opens with you in character as Jeffy Kisses, etc. It reminded me so much of listening to the radio on my drive to school and hearing Ralph Garman fuck around on the Kevin & Bean show. Love y’all, love bein a piggie 🐷
Id like to chime in and say that what Ron Perlman said is helpful. To say that your plan is to make people lose their home is ALSO a threat of violence. He walked it right up to the ledge without falling over. What Ron did was unmask it, met him out on that ledge, and pushed it over.
To Ben's point at around 32:00 , Adam Conover (who's been in talks with union negotiators and knows their strategy) says that the Union's dream is that some smaller networks come to the table sooner and that their desperation to get content produced will set a bar that the bigger companies (Netflix, Disney, etc.) will have to follow, likely with more demands met than Disney would give if left to its own volition. So Ben's not wrong that there will be companies that break sooner (I hadn't heard broadcast networks mentioned but it's a smart angle) but it doesn't sound like there would be unique contracts.
I've worked at UPS for 10 years as a part timer. I make exactly even the same amount per hour as all the new hires that started a month ago. That's what UPS thinks of long time part timers. So happy to see you guys on the right side of history on this issue.
I work in VFX for the film industry, hearing what you guy had to say regarding the strike was interesting. Definitely affecting mass amounts of ppl right now, I know at least for the studio I’m at we had massive lay offs. The industry is truly contingent on taking advantage of hard working people
I'm all for these NCP people making money. They're not hurting anyone and it's just goofy as hell. Ngl...would I be an NCP on tiktok for 3k a day? Thats a hard yeah buddy Great episode btw you guys are killing it
ok i'll admit it. if i'm cutting something with my knife, i hold my fork like that. if it's already been cut, i hold the fork like a normal person. PLEASE don't hold it against me i cant help it
I get that she is providing for herself and her child but you can’t deny that this trend is accelerating the collective brain rot of this generation...
Yeah its so conflicting cause i salute anyone who can make bags of off dumb harmless shit but at the same time it is the most pointless thing to ever exist in history of planet earth. Probably
I haven’t even gotten the kinda stuff y’all showed on my tiktok live feed but anytime i do swipe to it, its an accident and its weird af so i try to avoid it at all costs 😂
When Ben issued a formal apology to the Unabomber I literally spit out my drink. He’s such an empath 🥺
i should call him
Timestamp?
gonna make those first 5 seconds of ben my lockscreen
Haha can you do that? Put a gif or video as a lock screen?
I love that Ben asked Emil “do you know who I’m gonna apologise to” as if the only reasonable answer was the Unibomber and it’s silly of Emil to not know that
Timestamp?
i'm so glad this show comes out early, so much better than waiting until 7pm lol
onggg
i hate when tmg comes out at like 10 pm like maybe thats why you guys are struggling w views
fr i love to have it to watch at work
@@CarolineSkoglund1 cc d
Ben: makes fun of people who talk about the matrix and NPCs
Also Ben: let’s all apologize to the unibomber
hes so based
Unabomber
@@Emm2004 oops
proud to be a UPS teamster picketing for better working conditions and better part time pay!
Hell yeah!
Solidarity ✊🏼
let's GOOOO union solidarity babyyyyy ✊
I work for a Teamsters local in Wisconsin. Solidarity!!!
Ben being so passionate about Mission Impossible is so on brand for him
Pinkydoll could honestly make bank just yelling at people in quebecois french on tiktok live lmao
Love when a new test ep drops, ready to seize the day and pompa the balon
Why did I read this just as they said it
This episode was the bomb. I really hope to see your podcast blow up.
Oh man thank you so much!!! We hope so too! Tell a friend!
This is the best podcast episode I’ve ever seen in my life. Sobbing right now and rethinking the way I think about entertainment as a whole, thank you ben and Emil
Holy shit thank you Riley!!

3 different thumbnails/titles in like 10 minutes, clearly perfectionists
ikr I was scared I was going crazy
This actually made me care about the actors/writers strike.
This is why you two are my favourite podcasters in the business.
Good to know Emil has so much cash in his apartment
it is a SET
love the changing titles, maybe the next one will include the episode number!
Seeing Ben and Emil stripped down, raw, glistening in their white t-shirts is exactly the energy that made me a patron. Great episode.
its so thoughtful of ben thinking of the audio listeners

Beautifully said. We're all ultimately stupider for having seen it, and there's already a stupidity overflow in this world 😭
oooo ooo ooo ooo mmm… I love Diet Coke! Yes yes yes 😍🤭
another amazing episode by our boys. can't wait until next week!!
1:01:46 what a cinematic moment
that shit was tripping me out lmao
Ready for the short film after that, tbh lmao
Yeah wtf was up w that???
Emil is actually a fan of pinkydoll lol
i like when she speaks french
Beautiful fellas, can't wait for LA show!

"I really want to support the SAG strikes, but it's so confusing. Too many paid actors"
God damn that Ron Perlman video got me HYPE !!!
Mmmm thank you emil. Diet Coke. Diet Coke. Diet Coke. Ooooooo oooooooo oooooooo ooooooooo. Mmmmm thank you emil. Ooooo I love Diet Coke. Yes yes yes. Thank you DADDY! Thank YoooOooUuouuuoo. Sank you

Ben’s went thru the three stages of grief when Email said “there’s not enough access to bombs.” Confusion… realization… disappointment.
Ben! I love this new format so much, but I just gotta let you know that I love and think fondly of the cold opens with you in character as Jeffy Kisses, etc. It reminded me so much of listening to the radio on my drive to school and hearing Ralph Garman fuck around on the Kevin & Bean show. Love y’all, love bein a piggie 🐷
First 10 seconds on im thinking "Oh he's back on the DC"
I’m both Ben being super fixated on words he gets wrong and Emil telling him to chill about it- two wolves
NOT TRISHA AS THE COVER! Lmaoooo that's so funny. I love them all 😂
I miss getting smooches at the end of the episode!
This is why you’re broke. You put foot cam FOR FREE. No paywall. No tik tok live gifts. FREE
These cold opens add at least 3 years to my life
Thursdays are my favorite! Thanks for making me laugh today!
Lol at the NPC chick you showed earlier. I happened to block her this morning and I was like I just can’t get away lol
Man I was high as hell when the camera started zooming out at 1:01:37 😂 trippy af
This episode really gave "2 dudes with a microphone" podcasts vibes
Foot cam was unexpected and made me laugh. Good addition to the content :)
Emil I will be in socal next week and I think I will go see your set!!!!
Watching the title and thumbnail for this episode evolve over the last day has been wild lol
That zoom out near the end tripped me tf out
Mandatory weekly comment to get this diamond of a podcast into the algorithm.
thank you dony

i feel like ben was minutes away from asking the bencels to rise up after the pinkydoll segment💀
say what you want about npc woman but it must take so much energy to do that.
That zoom out at the end was freaky af
FREE FOOT CAM?!?
We are so blessed...
mmm pay pigs so good!
I’m running out of cars guys. Just crashed my kia soul……You’d think i’d stop watching these videos while driving.
love the cold openings
the first 20 minutes have put yall on a fbi watchlist for sure 💀
Just wondering, is the PPPod more current events based or it's still gonna have the emphasis on politics and/or the stock market? Love it either way
Emil is fucking on point in this episode
back to my weekly favorite findoms
Look at this freeeesssshhhh crissssssssspppp new camera angle!!
To Ben's point at around 32:00 , Adam Conover (who's been in talks with union negotiators and knows their strategy) says that the Union's dream is that some smaller networks come to the table sooner and that their desperation to get content produced will set a bar that the bigger companies (Netflix, Disney, etc.) will have to follow, likely with more demands met than Disney would give if left to its own volition.

Everyone a few days ago: "Wait is this NPC E-Girl thing sexual?!?! I'm confused."
Ben Cahn is now an NPC E-Girl: *IT'S SEXUAL*
I love this turn to current event on the new pod. Still having the financing bits is great, both things I needed a reliable source on
another great episode boys keep up the great work

Great episode btw you guys are killing it
She lives in my mind rent free at this point- it’s insanity where we are with the internet 😂
Hi Ben! Just saw you’re replying to comments and wanted to say have a good evening sir. Amazing work as always 🫡
Glad you settled on a title. Love you boys

When does your livestream start Ben?
umm hey guys, what was that like ai generated slow pull out shot towards the end of the episode?
ok i'll admit it. if i'm cutting something with my knife, i hold my fork like that. if it's already been cut, i hold the fork like a normal person. PLEASE don't hold it against me i cant help it
Wait I'm confused? Am I supposed to watch the bonus first?
Absolute banger content. When are you starting your bespoke streaming service?
PayPerPig is launching soon
If you think about it Pinkydoll is a SFW paypig
the zoom out at the end is insane

Ty for talking about the working mans union too! Cheering for teamsters
I work at UPS corporate and we're all being shipped out across the country to work as strike breakers. Sucks ass.
Fuck that!!

I get that she is providing for herself and her child but you can’t deny that this trend is accelerating the collective brain rot of this generation...
Yeah its so conflicting cause i salute anyone who can make bags of off dumb harmless shit but at the same time it is the most pointless thing to ever exist in history of planet earth. Probably
