This week on It’s Ben A Week, Ben is joined by his friends Bryan and John from Out Loud and Laughing for what can only be described as a pumpkin-spiced fever dream.
It starts innocent — PSLs, Starbucks baristas, and why no one uses proper grammar anymore — but spirals quickly into the Android vs. iPhone debate, porn bans in Texas, Disney adult confessions, and Greg Abbott jokes that might get everyone canceled.
From there, Ben and the boys get deep (and deranged):
- Broken bed frames
- Why dolphins are the horses of the sea
- John’s sobriety and patience journey
- Bryan’s PTA gossip at his daughter’s school — including a roller-skating principal with a Pilates bod
- Jon's literal arrest in Florida for speeding and how he turned jail time into a main character moment
- A deep dive into Housewives lesbian scandals, fast fashion, and why Cinnabon might now be a lesbian bar
By the time it’s over, the trio has covered astrology, sperm counts, seatbelt tickets, and what happens when you hand a lesbian cop a Home Depot gift card.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
