This week on It’s Ben A Week, Sherri is back for her third appearance (making her the show’s most frequent guest — besides AJ, of course). And as always, no topic is off limits.
The episode kicks off with the return of pumpkin spice season at Starbucks, leading to a full breakdown of pumpkin cream cold brews, muffins, candles, and Sherri’s inside knowledge of how to grow (and rotate!) the perfect pumpkin. Things quickly spiral into Starbucks foam wars, blow job comparisons at the drive-thru, and cream cheese confessions.
From there, Ben and Sherri cover:
- The Granbury gay marriage license drama, courthouse bigotry, and why laws aren’t up for personal interpretation
- Ranch maintenance hell: cracked windshields, trailers, generators, gators, and $1,600 truck tires
- Why “we don’t make those anymore” is the scam line of the century
- Nail salons, secret languages, and why Ben wants translating AirPods in his studio
- Pet peeves from photo clients asking for Jennifer Aniston headshots to Sherri’s lifelong hatred of feet
- Straight men listening to the podcast (hi, Mike!) and global listeners from Australia to Iran
- Austin weekend chaos: Sean’s 50th birthday, Ben drunk-heckling someone’s Christmas ribbon, and a skyscraper grasshopper who just wanted to wave through the window
It’s pumpkin spice meets pure chaos — with Sherri as the reigning queen of stories.
