    Hey guys the website for streaming is up now: benavery.live
    The stream will be free if you watch it live, but only members can comment to interact and submit on stream and watch the archived episodes. I also made merch and if you buy a certain amount you get a month free of the show. After January 1st the price to be a member will go up so you can get locked in now at a founders price. This website is probably where we will eventually start hosting all lemonparty content as well, but who knows when that will be. You can give me your email for free and I’ll let you know when there is any touring for the pod/stand up. I’m g

    On the older soda machines they couldn't really adjust it because there was no digital computer controlling the process.
    The Freestyle machines(which Devan knows the name of) are the ones with the touch display where you select from dozens of flavors actually MIX the syrups for many of those products. So when you get vanilla-cherry there's separate syrups with smaller reservoirs that it pulls from. My ex was a restaurant designer, and she knew everything about the machinery in the food-service industry. She worked on Google's on-campus restaurants, 5-star hotels, even restaurants at Disney.

    Jack BIacks parents were actual rocket scientists, that's not a joke. At least one them worked at NASA and made significant advances to the technology. The relevant part to this video is how Americas rocket program started. For anyone not familiar with the strange origins of Americas rocket program look up Jack Parsons and his intimate connections to AIIesłer CrowIey, along with L. Ron Hubbard, the father of ScienłoIogy. The American rocket program was started by Jack Parsons who created JPL, and he was an infamous occuIłisł and sałanisł. It all goes back to Jack Blacks upbringing. Most people probably know all of this already but anyone doubting the comment I recommend looking into it.

    Welcome to another episode of Jace steps on everyone’s jokes. Snuffs them out as soon as the words finish leaving their lips. I’m rooting for you to figure it out Jace.

      What are you even talking about, he steps on jokes the least of the three, he's by far the most polite as far as letting people say their piece

      Jace is the funniest on this show. They're all funny. But Jace rules.

      @ he’s by far the worst. That’s saying a lot because Ben isn’t very funny. He’s on the rise though this year. Listen to Jace next time. He can’t wait to open his mouth and doesn’t allow Devan or Ben’s joke sit in the air. It’s obnoxious

      Anybody who's ever installed soda into the fountain machine knows this. My retarded woman wife works in a convenience store. she knows this. Of course I'm a man so I learned that when I was 6 years old.

    Ben tries to cite episode 5 calling Elon Elmo Musk as if he was always anti Elon but when he was calling him Elmo at that time he was making fun of Lib cux on Twitter like that Jeff Teadrick guy. Don’t try to rewrite history Ben! I’m a LP scholar

    Kobe paid the victim. Why would you willingly pay someone out if you're innocent?
