Ben complaining is my version of ASMR

I was about to comment that
the tinglesss
Ur so lucky

Congratulations tho
this is so funny i can't
Ben out here looking like a whole Nintendo Switch
LMAOOOOOO
HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAA
FASHION. GOALS. 😗👌
Lmao its Teddy Fresh btw
PrincessAriel no its polo
You touched on this when you said people don't think Cristine is intelligent just because she has a 'goofball' internet persona.
But I feel like whenever a girl has long painted nails, a love for makeup, a taste for fashion and they care about 'materialistic things' people assume they are not clever... And i think that's a good topic for the body image pod cast..
Riani Maass I know its like saying “Dumb Blondes” because theres lots of people that are smart and blonde it just doesnt make sense
Ben is always putting Cristine down in these "people think....."
Oh and he wishes she would bleach her hair blonde well he says "oh yeah I wouldn't mind if you went blonde. I also wouldnt mind if you wanted to walk around in a little black dress..."
@@bubblingbubztheklown5902 of course he says things like that. He thinks cristine is attractive as they're partners. It's a compliment.
this comment is exactly how i feel!! glad to see other people have noticed the same thing
@@mysterymikitin6018 no its back handed. A compliment doesn't work that way hun.
Cristine shaming Ben's hummus addiction is literally the best part of this podcast
Ben: bananas are fine I don't have strong feelings about bananas
The Banana light behind him:
👁️👄👁️
UNDERRATED
I'm actually eating a banana 😂
Lmao I laughed so hard 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why this is like my comment-?
TWT
IKR I was so confused XD
"I am not a trendsetter" me sitting there with my 3 davids tea holo cups like 👁👄👁.
that might’ve made me laugh out loud literally
😂😂
I’ve spent $250 in the last month on DavidsTea tea and tumblers thanks to Cristine’s “not a trendsetter” ways 😹 and have 2 of my coworkers hooked now too
@@RachelCameron87 I wish I could get hooked on David's tea but he doesn't ship to my country TT__TT
lolathetomboy me too
DISAPPOINTED
"does anyone just sit alone and listen to kpop?"
_me, who has been crocheting while listening to blackpink for days now:_ well,
lol it’s like any music-you can sit alone and enjoy it or you can go to concerts or bond over it with a friend. It always makes me laugh/sigh when people don’t understand or act like kpop doesn’t share any characteristics with things that people can normally/usually enjoy and like in the music genre of their choice 😅
BLINKS!
HAHAHAHA, I don't know why kpop and crocheting match so well!! Hhahahaha I also love both.
@@alyxskyler I agree!! It's just music that happens to come from another country, why is it such a big deal? Music is one language. Let's all just enjoy together ♥
Listening to kpop in the car always gets me so hyped up, and listening to it with my friends is even better
"Your sense of humour doesn't take away from your intelligence" 👏👏👏 Words of wisdom!
It’s honestly been great to learn more about Ben through the podcast
Yes milk boy beyyyn
You missed a great pun
I have a new found respect (not that I didn’t already respect him!) for him! His thought processes, how supportive he is of Cristine, and how much he actually is involved with her RUclips and holotaco endeavors!
Yess!
Yess!!!
So what you’re saying is, we should drop bens artificially made love for bananas and replace it with his real love for hummus.
We need to find a hummus light for the background
YES
I support this move
Period
Someone who can art needs to make him a pop-art poster featuring tubs of hummus. I bet he'd actually love it.
I hope more people would understand what Cristine is saying here about how easy it is to reduce any woman to a dumb bitch. I work so hard everyday to make myself worth at my work space, but it's just horrible to see how some people reduce me and my female coworkers, to nothing just because some of us have such a childish sense of humor...
It goes for any trait, be it humor or fashion or weight. I'm sarcastic and witty and fairly intelligent, but if I make a comment or joke that goes against something someone I am talking to feels is "right" (to them) the 'stupid fatass' comments come out immediately. It's easier to dismiss and reduce anyone you do not agree with to the most obvious cutting insult to close communication without having to continue being uncomfortable or learn something.
I also think it's because they have high expectations for you to act like how you'd behave when you're working and being big brain which is odd. It's like when ppl see a smart person and be like "oh they must act so mature and elegant etc" but when they see that that person has a stranger sense of humor they're like "oh so that person is no special"
I think that it can apply to anything
as a guy (23 yo) this makes me so mad. i know some very very capable women but they have to work SO HARD to get the recognition. Whenever I can, I try to prop up my women friends to remind others that they're badass
i get that at 16 yo. like i’m fairly smart but my adhd makes me kind of jumpy and hyper, and i’ve been told i’m funny. but even like girls my age call me dumb for being hyper and kind of loud. my family even calls me a dumb blonde, while actually i can retain info well and do well in school.
I like how Ben expressed his distaste for kpop, it was respectful and his reasons for not liking it were extremely reasonable (it wasn't just like 'they're ugly and untalented' you know?)
ben in 2008: donkey kong
ben 2015: simplynailogicals boyfriend
ben 2020: taxes, bananas, and hummus
"We would live in a healthier society if men were more willing to talk about their feelings." I love that Ben acknowledges this, talked intelligently about it, and how Ben concluded it with this.
So we're just going to write off binge drinking and harassing women?
recoil53 that’s not the point at all; no one is excusing that
@@recoil53 it doesn't have to be one or the other we can talk an epic knowledge both of these problems while tackling these issues. I think once you paint the bigger picture it's easier to dissect something like this
recoil53 what
Men who talk about their feelings are BETA MALES and women hate betas.
What adult over 12 has a favorite colour?
Me, a 24 year old : mines purple and black.....
I'm 30 and I don't have a favourite colour but I love wearing jewel tones (and house wear is pastels) ... however my 68 year old mum is adamant hers is pink (I argue that her favourite colour is actually more fuchsia/magenta)
@@princessnatty she probably calls magenta pink. Magenta is just a shade of pink. It's THE pink
I still love blue since childhood
I'm 21 and is mint green, cyan green, and pink ^^
28 yr old here, my fav is red 👌
To ben: I'm a kpop fan (not hardcore but i do stan some groups) and yes, i can say, i can sit in my room listening to super hyped up music lol 😂. I don't blame ben for not understanding why people like this genre, altho i will say that kpop isn't just about loud super high energy music. Think of kpop as an umbrella term, there's all sorts of kpop genres, including ballads and soothe-sounding ones. There are even ones that sound super jazzy. What you were shown when you were featured in that reaction channel (yes i watched that too) was just a chunk of kpop. Altho if you still don't understand or like kpop it's alright dad you can like whatever you want no one's gonna judge haha 🤗😊😂
As for the twitter profiles i don't really have an excuse for that i was also guilty at one point lol, it's just our way of showing appreciation to our favorite people, probably in a similar way that one person who commented in your tweet has your face as a profile picture
Altho understandably it does sound creepy lol this is in no offense to my fellow kpop stans out there haha 😅😂
But its just so unnecessary to post gifs of dudes dancing under serious discussions and leads to hate for K-Pop fans.
I don't hate kpop or its stans, I don't have a particular like for them but it's mostly residual dislike from someone I was friends with who was super into it and since we aren't friends now I don't care to get into a thing that she liked.
Some of the music kinda goes hard tho. Kpop or kwhatever, i enjoy a few groups here and there. 🤷♀️
@Alexandria Kirk I'm korean and I dont mind kpop, I like some songs but neutral about some. I get where you're coming from though!
Thank you for this
Simply food list for a week:
- 1kg sack of oats
- 5 tubs of hummus
- Tea
- Bananas :)
I just spat my water laughing 🤣
- protein powder
- edible nail polish
I read that has 5 tubs of humans 😐
Savory Salmon dinners for Menchie and Zyler
In 2021: get 20% off hummus with code ‘Ben’
LMAOOOO 😸
Please Yessss
Code: BEEYN
Salte Bananer yesss
I love how educated these two are - genuinely informed and understanding people
Not related to the content discussed... I love how Menchie will sit there and just watch Ben talking with such adoration. 😍
I know this was a more “negative” podcast, but I think it’s so refreshing to hear people, especially influencers, discuss issues like toxic masculinity and gender equality. We often don’t think of these other view points (Ben discussing how the Kardashians affect women’s views of their bodies) when approaching these issues. So a long winded thank you!
ALSO: I really appreciate the introduction of your podcasts to your online presence.
As a long time fan, I appreciate getting to witness these more relaxed, in-depth conversations. It really opens our eyes to you as viewers, and in a way, kind of rounds out our view/perception of who you guys are.
Love from Colorado ❤️
I actually really liked this podcast. Refreshing to hear “unpopular” opinions and christine’s rebuttal to some of Ben’s views. I like the dynamic and no matter the content, still very interesting to watch/listen!
I love how Ben has such a strong sense of what he like and dislikes in life.
My boyfriend calls me a "human doing" since I can never just be. I feel Cristine so much on this.
“Your sense of humour doesn’t take away from your intelligence.” 🙌 Thank you Cristine!
That needs to be freaking told to everyone. I’ve made jokes online and I remember in the past it was popular to tell women to “get back to the kitchen”. Or they were surprised I was female/funny, attractive/funny... or I’m subscribed to a guy’s channel that has more of a male fan base and guys are surprised I like this humor. Like you can’t look feminine and be funny. Or else you get labeled as a “tomboy” (which mostly during quarantine I have worn almost no makeup but still do my nails).
I was using a totally neutral username on a funny memes app (way back in middle and high school) and I was one of the most popular users/posters. We were such a tight knit community that one day that users were invited to send in a real picture of what they actually looked like to the app admin, and they would create a collage of our pics by username alphabetical order. Me and this one other girl (who I also assumed was a guy by her username) were in the top ten users and it was just such a surprise to everyone. Like omg she’s a girl and she’s pretty and funny?! Yeah, a sense of humor isn’t that hard to obtain lol I have a master’s degree and like puns/dark humor/intelligent humor/topical humor:/etc. and the occasional fart joke. And I love eye shadow and nail polish.
Petition for Cristine to do a banana themed nail polish box set, with the nail polishes ranging from “premature banana” to “rotten banana”.
Yes.
I suddenly don't feel powerful enough to make this happen since i can only give your comment 1 like
The ‘Benana’ collection! Make it for him for Valentine’s Day or their anniversary or something. Haha.
With a brown/black hex glitter topper, so we can fine tune the level of ripeness
Lol!! Though we'd not want their profit margin to go low...
Not all Kpop music is electronic but it's fair to think it is because it's what is known in the world at this moment.
The thing I like most about Ben here is that while he has almost all the opposing opinions against what I feel strongly good about here, I can't get mad at him. He says it in the utmost respectful way for a person who dislikes something, and I respect that. One doesn't need to be rude or demeaning for something they don't like, honestly I need to apply more of this in my life.
This is super cool because I definitely feel nervous to share my opinion when asked in case someone will disagree and be unhappy even if it is respectful. It is also really important to hear the other side of your opinion to confirm that you truly don’t like that idea. I would say no one is ever going to find someone that you agree perfectly (option and degree to which it matters) with on literally everything, so this definitely makes me feel less anxious to hear discussions about important topics. We can’t learn by ourselves in a vacuum! 💖
He seems like someone who was probably very abrasive/blunt/argumentative as a kid but has grown a lot and gained life skills to be more diplomatic.
Menchie out here finding the perfect spot to sit so she's in every camera angle 😂😂😂
Ben: "Who has a favorite color when you're over the age of twelve??"
Me: I do?!
Cristine: I do!!
UPDATE: As of five days ago the Washington Redskins are changing their name and logo.👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Ben half of my life is me sitting alone and listening to Kpop.
Ben: “Who has a favorite color when you are over the age of 12?”
31 year old me: Me! My favorite color is purple. 💜
😆
Green 🌿
Are you a army by any chance?💜
Burgundy lol (like red-purple) it’s not like it’s my actual favorite color cut it’s the one that i find myself always wearing lol
Sunflower yellow just makes me happier
“I don’t have strong feelings about bananas.” Ben 2020.
The Harry Potter books taught me English as a secondary language, and really boosted my vocabulary
It's a shame to have such mixed feelings about them now
If it helps, remember that the books were written in a certain place and time and that the values expressed within say something about the culture at that time. Just like its possible to enjoy Shakespeare plays even though they feature anti-Semitism and so on. As long as you are critical about the negative parts, there is no reason why you can't still fondly remember the good parts. Like Rowling grew up in a predominantly white area and wrote a book which is based in a school in a predominantly white part of the UK. She grew up whilst there was a lot of tension over in Northern Ireland which colours how she writes the Irish characters in the book. The few POC that are there have very generic/"exotic" names and in the area she grew up, most POC will probably have come from the common family names or will have adopted names which could be anglicised somewhat so end up with the same kind of family names that way. Does it excuse the racism? No, but it explains it. She could have chosen to write her fantasy magic school in an entirely different fantasy world and would have avoided a lot of issues in doing so. But she chose to try to make it a secret part of the real world. And in doing so ended up including real world details which were very problematic.
Basically you don't have to agree with or enjoy the negative stuff she wrote in those books to enjoy the books. There are still good messages in there like trying to fight against supremacists who want to exterminate a group of people. Its kinda ironic that a book which preaches a message of fighting racism still ended up being racist in other ways.
Focus on the art not the artist!
@@AlexaFaie I can't speak for OP, but at least when I first saw their comment I thought of all the transphobic stuff Rowling has been saying lately. As someone who grew up on HP it's frustrating too see her doing this because it feels like she's just saying shit to try to stay relevant? Like it's the same with her teasing the idea of Dumbledore being gay, or Hermionie being racially ambiguous. But then instead of facing the crowds for the shit she's saying, she reposts all these kids drawings to hide her controversial stuff. Honestly I just wish she would get off twitter and chill in her mansion with her millions of dollars. There's no reason why she needs to be 'relevant' anymore and she's not doing herself any favors.
@@Gamingmonkey254 That's a personal choice. There's also a big difference between someone like Rowling who's still directly benefiting from book/movie sales as opposed to someone like Wagner or Shakespeare who've been dead for ages.
Bethany Mclean then wouldn’t the best thing be to not buy any new things? If you’ve already read/bought all the books and seen all the movies what can you really do? I don’t think you should let her stupidity take away the joy you once felt for the material.
This sounds exactly like me and my husband whenever we have serious discussions. My husband is realistic/pessimistic and I’m realistic/optimistic. It makes for great discussions.
I feel bad that we’re painting Ben as a hateful person when that’s what we’re asking of him to be. I feel like we know that he’s obviously not hateful but I feel like we’re unintentionally contributing to this impression that anyone with a critical eye and justified points is seen as a pessimist, grouch, or “mean adult” I guess? We’ve legitimately asked him to complain rather than discuss anything else that makes up a human. He’s a quiet, thoughtful guy just trying to pet his cat. 😔
I once saw him at Starbucks. He was nice, except I didn't talk to him. I just observed him. He was nice to the staff.
😂😂. This is a really good point! I really appreciate an intelligent person with strong opinions simply expressing them without beating around the bush. I think Ben comes across as really loving and supportive of Cristine and still really enjoyed this one :)
Omg is that true? Are there actually people complaining about him complaining? I haven't seen any comments like that, but I wouldn't put it past people. People just want to complain smh. Poor Ben!
Who's we
I never thought he was a mean adult. He did say he'd rather talk about his favorites rather than least favourite, but he could have talked about what he liked in the simply favourites video. I like hearing Ben talk and cristine, otherwise I wouldn't listen
As part of the 10% of men who are watching, I clicked like.
Thanks for clicking like👍
Aw, I felt a mood shift in the room when Ben brought up the nail remover video. It seemed like Cristine was still upset over the issue; she got real quiet and not as upbeat and admitted quite a bit how stupid it was.
Yeah it felt sad, and it almost seemed like she hasn’t forgiven herself even though Ben said her forgave her (I think). She is such a sweetheart, and she was definitely just excited and carried away in the video 🤷🏻♀️
Absolutely love how obsessed menchie is with Ben
when Ben was talking about how he doesn’t like K-pop and Christine was so defensive 😂
Cristine*
R ! Sorry I forgot 😂
Cristine***
I can’t like your comment sorry
Jelly Bean I know, it was probably autocorrect or I forgot
“Are there people who sit alone in their rooms and listen to Kpop??” YES BEN. YES. But I totally understand why it would seem weird or odd to you lol
@@id3389 I haven't watched the k pop reaction video but i'm guessing the k pop songs they reacted was more electronic. Not to be rude to anyone but think of Fantastic Baby or other popular electronic based music, kpop stereotypes revolve around them. I'm sure it was nothing personal. Hope you're safe and doing well! 🤗
*spring day has entered the chat*
@@id3389 as well as Kpop I also listen to death metal in my spare time and I've had people not understand that either and that's okay. It's a matter of preference and as a society we sometimes lose sight of that because the thing we like affects us so strongly that the fact that somebody is indifferent towards or dislikes our source of happiness upsets us. We need to bring ourselves back to earth and remember we're all individuals and out opinions are all valid however are just opinions. The way things affect us are different and that's ok😊
Timeless,Coming home,goodbye,heartbeat, the truth untold and many others:
A M O F F E N D E D
They reacted only to BTS songs, all of them upbeat and hype. Spring Day was the only softer song shown to them. Cristine liked Not Today tho :))
the thing about kpop is that it is not only energetic edm,, even though kpop refers to korean pop, kpop is not just about pop, it is the entire industry that contains acoustic, r&b, trot and literally every other genre out there. kpop also doesn't necessarily mean dancing and singing.
49:09 they are called polos because of the sport (polo) whose players originally used the polo shirts as uniform.
Ben: "Does anyone just sit alone listening to k-pop?"
Me, a 32 year-old-lady: does last night count?
Same 🤣🤣 30 yo here
And about eletronic music, i did have someone who was so into house, electro, etc like in a sit and chill... i guess ben answer was accurate
33 year old lady here and I do love me some k-pop alone in my room.
Ben when he says “does anyone just LISTEN to Kpop” and all you listen to when cleaning walking or driving is Kpop 👁👄👁
i was going to comment that 👁️👄👁️
I get it lol but i think what he doesnt take into account, simply because he doesnt know (and thats ok honestly), is that not all of kpop is upbeat. There are ballads and things like that in kpop too which people outsode of the fandom might simply not be aware of.
I just KNEW that he was gonna say KPOP 🤣 as soon as he said “I may get a lot of hate”, l went “uh-oh”
@@unicornrainbowz5293 LOL same, I started looking for the meme "i fear bts stans no one else" hahaha
@@sunnyc.612 while i know that a lot of kpop is calm and includes ballads, most mainstream kpop that is listened to international fans is rather upbeat.
10:58 To answer this question for the EDM part, yes people do sit alone and listen to EDM (including myself). The rave community thinks of electronic dance music like any other mainstream song.
"if you eat green bananas, you're a monster"
Me: *laughs in Puerto Rican*
Me have savory dishes based on green bananas and they're delicious, y'all missing out.
That actually sou very very nice
I really liked Ben’s answer about his least favourite thing about being a man, a huge issue for men is that we live in a society where if they show/express their feelings they’re told to ‘man up’ and it’s such an unhealthy attitude.
There's a way to express the problems of being a man in this country because yes, they have their own issues that stem from being a man, that can be done in a way like Ben expressed it, and there's a way to do it where it just sounds like they're ignorant of other issues. Like, "I have to deal with this and NO ONE understands how awful and terrible this is and this is an issue only I face"
@@deidrebetts2936 it's an issue in all genders, but like men stated "the world would be a nicer place if men expressed their emotions" and that's true. we'd have less abusive males in relationships. but at the same time, women need to be recognized as able to have all emotions too. women get overlooked as rapists, abusers, and more just because we're women and men are automatically assumed as those things. the fact that school shooters in all the lectures they do in school (i'm from the USA) they always portray the shooter as male. and yes maybe they are always male i wouldn't know cause i didn't do research, but it always bothered me. like how women are portrayed weak in a lot of areas, men are expected to be strong and when they aren't it can cause issues. but those two issues don't outweighs transgender issues or whatever other issues genders face. the world would a lot nicer place if people would just listen to each other's issues and work through it to fix it.
Definitely! Allowing everyone to be open and honest respectfully is probably good for everybody 🥳
Ironically, Ben's least favorite thing seems to be doing a podcast about his least favorite things
"imperfections of man told through the eyes of donkey"so basically Shrek?
Ben: Who listens to K-Pop to just sit there an enjoy it?
Me, a Korean in quarantine: listens to K-Pop to cheer myself up from depression
*...and I took that personally*
When Ben said he doesn’t like Harry Potter books all I can think about is Corinne of Threadbanger and her reaction about this.🤔😂
She made an IG post recently that she's going to distance herself from it based on JK Rowling's recent tweets/ article.
@@livisinsideagain It's really sad because I was also a big fan, and I do still enjoy the story, but JKR's views and tweets have really tainted it for me. I was going to pass the books down to my niece, but now I'm really questioning if I should.
@@RowenaMcKinnon-Author You still can, just reading the books doesn't make you a bad person. Well in my opinion it doesn't but to each their own.
@@RowenaMcKinnon-Author It's an opportunity for a life lesson - just because you like something doesn't mean you embrace all the creator's views. Bad people can make good product and good people can make stuff that sucks. For instance Nazis were against smoking.
Plus the books are already paid for, Rowling doesn't make more money.
She would be as disappointed as the rest of us Potterheads 🥺
Cristine: Well, that's the end of the podcast this week!
Ben; Wait, I hate Harry Potter, we didn't cover books.
38 minutes in- I think its nice that it seems like Ben has an input on content now rather than just being dragged into it. Instead of the "poor boyfriend" being dragged into my shenanigan's, its a partnership and i really love to see that especially for you two.
I listen to kpop alone in my room... not all kpop is the same so I have different playlists for different moods. I also listen to lots of different music, I like most music.
*sees a SimplyPodLogical podcast was posted* me: “ITS TUESDAY????”
Same! Could swear that it is Monday today
I thought it was Wednesday 😂
Omg same!!!
no no nooo!! its TACO tuesdaaayyy :P
She said taco tuesday and I had the same reaction
Can Ben like read an audiobook or something? He has the most soothing voice ever 😂😂😂
He can re-record the Harry Potter books 🤣
His new side gig ! Great idea. I would listen.
Ben: who listens to kpop alone
Me: listening to Blackpink songs everyday while cooking, taking a bath, studying, playing, folding clothes and before sleeping😆
After every question:
Cristine: yOu CaN’T sAy MeEe
Ben: oOoOooh that’s a good question...
39:09
Ben: "it's almost Holo Taco's birthday"
Me: Hmm so the next collection is going to be birthday confetti theme
OMG they shouldd
I love watching Ben's face light up when he gets to talk about hummus and video games
Been loving how deep these podcasts are and how thought provoking they are. I've watched you since polish mountain and you've been a positive presence online 🤗
In all fairness, homemade hummus using a good middle eastern recipe is really good
When depression is on its worst but Cristine saves the day
Edit: HOLY SHIT THAT'S A LOTTA LIKES THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS LOVE YOU❤
Me legit every day
I hope you’re doing well!
felt that in my bones😌
Hope you're doing okay! ♥️
To everyone being considerate enough to ask how I'm doing, THANK YOU! It's unbelievable how strangers can be more amazing than actual friends. No I'm not ok. But I will be. I'm fighting and I'm not giving up
Ben and Cristine not liking Harry Potter
Corinne:👁👄👁
😂😂😂
I had always heard about you (especially through Jenna) but I’ve only recently started watching your videos and listening to this postcard. My goodness you are both such a delight and so refreshing to listen to. As a fellow Ottawan, it’s nice to see such intelligent and solid content from close to home. Hope you are safe and healthy and having lovely holidays!
This is my vote for Ben as King of RUclips.
Regarding the least favourite things about being a man, I feel like feminism is also about helping men to embrace their feelings and emotions and that’s great. Because crying is not a girly thing and being angry is not the only way men can express themselves
@rando Aha.
Any sources?
rando if those “feminists” don’t support men, then they’re not real feminists ✌🏻
Rebecca Andrews Exactly. Feminism isn’t about women being better than men or having more rights than them, it’s about all genders being equal.
Many ppl think that all introverts r shy but they r mistaken, I feel like cristine is the perfect example of a introvert who is not shy
Introverts just find too much social interaction draining.
I think Cristine is actually pretty shy
Cristine is my type of introvert. She is comfortable with whom she trusts, which is few people. I’m the same plus I have to get good vibes off of people to like them. She also doesn’t share much personally, which I don’t either, but I respect that. I still think she’s shy, but it’s easier to be honest in more intimate settings.
I will admit, it took me a few videos to fall in love with your humor, Cristine! It was the simply mom-and-dad logical that helped me to see your personalities a little more, I think! And then I wanted to watch EVERY video you ever made!
I love everything about you guys!!!❤️Keep doing what you’re doing and take breaks whenever you can...life’s short! Thank you for taking the moral high ground as much as possible and for not sugar-coating these important issues in our society! Our world would look a whole lot different if more people, like you guys, stood up to the norms-#Simply for President👍🏻
why are we pushing bananas on ben this whole time when he is clearly a hummus king 🤴
Ciera make a pun on Ben and hummus that’s better than Benana 😂 jk we really should let him just be a hummus King tho
When bananas are on the thumbnail but then you read the title: *TRIGGERED*
YYYEEEESSS
Ikr!
Lol same
My favorite thing about these podcasts is cristine not knowing how to start them so she just bops to her own song while ben gets the show started
“People who buy clothes they will never wear again” so....... Safiya?
I mean I think she is better than some of the youtubers who do that every week. Cause there are some that so much worse.
But its also fair to point out you can donate or give away clothes compared to a more concerning example like used makeup that cant as easily be donated
And also in argue of Safiya she did donate the lipstick to fans that she made so that can be argued it wasn’t “wasted”
I can see both arguments I guess with Safiya the lines more blurred you know?
"whats your least favorite brand of hummus?"
Ben "oh thats an interesting question"
LOLOL
Right? Playing a little fast and loose with the definition of interesting. :) Love Ben.
@@amysilknitter8928 gotta love him! he's the best hahah
I’m watching this and I’m thinking of all that Cristine has accomplished, and the words that go thru my head are “she is a bada*s woman” she has a lot to be proud of.
1) she has an education
2) she works a full like job
3) she has multiple RUclips channels
4) she owns a company
5) she has 2 beautiful cats 🐈
Did you really censor the word ass? ROFL Why? It means donkey or bottom, its not a swear word.
Alexa Faie I just don’t use those words, and I am fully aware it means donkey. I don’t like it, my sister scarred me when I was very little and then I just never use curse words, I usually phrase things in other ways
And one beautiful beyyyyn
I am so happy that we as viewers can interact with u guys more and it is a lovely way to learn a bit more about u guys.
i sleep to these podcasts every night, and today (im in the uk so it’s tuesday now) its my birthday!! well excited for tonight’s podcast 🥺🥺
when he said in that music question 'im feel like im going to offend a lot of people' i KNEW that he's going to say kpop lmaooo
Sameee 😂
right? i love kpop but the community can get overly sensitive sometimes lmao
I personally love kpop but some of the fans, not so much
😂🥺🥺🥺
i have grown to love tuesday’s because of this podcast
Yes and Monday’s because of jenna and Julien!
Ben, if it makes you feel better about the paint stripper, my labmate once spilled dichloromethane (aka DCM the main solvent used in the product) all over herself and has not had any adverse effects. The real risk for immediate health impacts comes from actually ingesting it or getting it under your skin - that can cause serious harm. As far as just having some come in contact with your skin, it probably won’t have that much of an effect. There is a risk of liver cancer associated with DCM, but that mainly only occurs when someone is consistently breathing in the fumes for long periods of time. TDLR - DCM can be nasty but most likely did not cause any harm in the context it was used it. It is highly irresponsible for a company to use it in a consumer product though, since there is such a high potential for serious injury.
I laughed so hard during this episode and it was much needed right now. 🤣 Thank you Cristine and Ben. I’ve been watching you for years Cristine, but only recently discovered the podcast and it is gold! 👌🏼 My husband and I love listening to you guys!
Ben: Does anyone just sit alone and listen to kpop?
Me: yes
Ben: or walk to school and listen to kpop
Me: yes
Absolutely
There’s calm kpop not all kpop is electronic and party music 😂
@@axeldellisola486 exactly 🤷🏻♀️
@@axeldellisola486 I listen to kpop and my favorites are ballads but I understand that they have the view since they were only shown title tracks in a reaction video xD
Same, All the moments i did that rushed into My head when he said that 😅🤣
Cristine quietly groaning "Omg" when Ben is being saucy on who wasn't 'able' to be on the show is just one my favorite things on this podcast every week
There are a some videos where you have comments mentioning you guys are couple goals and you both question if you guys are. Let me tell you, you definitely are, not by the popular-trending-fake reasons but because you both are so genuine and down-to-earth that you are so relatable. You both support the same just things, morally and ethically, you are just so right, and let me tell you, you both are worth admiring.
I'm glad I just realized how fun your podcast is because I can binge so many episodes now.
I would love a podcast about body image ideals and discussion
I loved his take on the kardashians and I love how they pointed out that not every male seeks a Kim look a like
Yesss
the way he talked about the kardashians, holy shit i was like, yes preach it BEEYYNN!!!!
Ben: Nobody listens to K-pop just sitting alone in the room to relax
Me actually doing it: Yeah, for sure 😂
I've been binge-watching a lot of their podcasts, and I can't help but notice how smart Been and Cristine are!
It's literally 4am and i was on that weird line where you're about to fall asleep and everything fades into the background but then I suddenly hear "does anyone actually sit down and listen to kpop?" and the past 3 hours of me blasting sad kpop ballads flashed back to me
Same😂
🙋🙋🙋 cause not all Kpop are upbeat 😂😂😂😂
"If you eat green bananas, you're a monster"
Me, someone who's Caribbean: **nervously sweating**
Abby Wolffe long live patacones jajajaaj. in Panama we fry them!
In the Philippines, we boil them then dip them in some fish sauce with lime zest.
But those are plantains lol
Banana chips fan here..and I am sure they are from unripe banana..but really, sometime I eat barely ripe banana as it is just because I can't wait
@@anam1446 some are bananas and some plantains 😂 you can fry both
30:36 Winnipeger here. Not on any fault lines, not bordering any oceans, and if the earth continues to warm, the winters could become a little less frigid. 🤷🏻♀️
Wow, Ben saying he doesn’t mind paying a large amount of taxes because he’s happy to give back to his country that gives them a lot ( healthcare, services, things like that) . Nowadays that’s so rare to hear someone say they don’t mind paying taxes because they appreciate their country. In America where I live , I don’t think I’ve ever heard a single person in America say they don’t mind paying taxes. I think it just shows how genuine, sweet, smart and caring you both are and this is why me and so many others of all ages really enjoy listening to you talk about whatever topic you chose. Love y’all ! 💕❤️💕❤️💕
“Who listening has watched godfather?”
I think they forget they have a lot of older fans too 😂😂 we arnt all school kids, some r parents of school kids lol
Omgg yess lol😂 even tho i myself is 14 xD
Im 18, and I've yet to not feel sad when people say they've never seen it. Would recommend!
Kinda driving at the fact they have a lot of fans 30+ but ok
Yes, definitely. I am parent of a teenager and now watching this channel myself while waiting out corona virus.
My daughter did my nails following Christine's tutorials.
She asked for my credit card for ordering her favourite nail polish.
Great channel, funny and relaxing.
I'm the same age as Ben, but have never seen The Godfather. But that's mainly because I've seen so many cultural references/parodies of it that I feel like I know enough about it to know its not the kind of film I'd want to watch. I know the basic premise, I'm not really interested in finding out more.
In response to the KPOP question, it’s a pretty wide genre not all the songs are super electric or upbeat. It’s like English pop just in Korean. There are many beautiful touching ballads or the use of influences from other genres just like in English pop. The wide range in KPOP is great for walking, showers, just chilling or motivation and getting hype :))
Perfect response. Thanks for writing it❤️
yes thank you. i wanted to point that out too. there's kr&b which is more chill or krock and krap which is a bit more hype. not all kpop is bubblegum and hype, if you research a bit you may find a sub-genre that you may like. of course i understand people not liking it but there are many versatile types of korean music and it's not only what you see in the surface. 💕
The difference in what the media is portraying within that spectrum says alot as to why Ben might think that way. The west generally consume most of the upbeat, bubblegum and intense music the various groups release while ballads, r&bs and others are mostly left behind. This can be seen in artists who specializes on ballads and others - although some do get enough recognition however the major factor is if they collabed with someone else who is already popular in the west and specializes in upbeat songs.
I feel like there is such a misconseption of kpop bc of its popularity. I guess it's hard for people to judge for themselves when they're not reading the translations or bothering to look up songs which fit their own preferred genre
If I had to count how many times I cried listening to VIXX ballads or KNK, EXO, SF9...xD your comment is exactly what I was thinking :)
I love that they're mature enough to talk calmly about each other's flaws...I'm the type of person who'd say "Tell me, I won't get upset" and then start crying when confronted with my mistakes and flaws.
This is the 3rd SimplyPodlogical episode I've watched in the last 2 days because apparently they're really good to listen to while doing Calculus homework
