Ep. 8: How I've Ben living The White Lotus

In this episode of It’s Ben a Week, AJ and I take you on a chaotic, scandalous, and very White Lotus-esque trip to Cabo San Lucas. What was supposed to be a relaxing getaway quickly turned into a week of sex, drugs, blood, and an unexpected airport shakedown.

We dive into:

• Getting detained at customs and scammed out of $500 over podcast equipment
• The steam room situation that had us questioning everyone’s vacation intentions
• A near-death dinner disaster featuring sparklers, broken tables, and a woman literally flying through the air
• Smuggling stolen restaurant decor (allegedly) and making a dramatic escape
• The hard truth about cruise ship tourists invading our luxury resort

But that’s not all—this week also features a special interview with my mom, where we get into:

• What I was really like as a kid (she does not hold back)
• The proudest and most questionable moments of my life
• Her take on my chaos and whether she actually listens to the podcast
• The one thing I do now that still drives her insane

From unexpected encounters to full-blown chaos, this episode is equal parts insane, hilarious, and a little incriminating. Listen now before we get banned from Cabo forever.
