The Group Chat

Backstage Ben admits he doesn't check the mirror before leaving the house, sparking a debate about morning routines and whether anyone actually knows what they look like anymore. We also get into the surprisingly heated world of dog food, why vet visits are somehow more stressful for pet owners than pets, and whether Jeff should just shave his head or finally book a hair-transplant trip to Turkey. Plus, KP takes an introvert/extrov...

This week, KP navigates the emotional rollercoaster of becoming a kindergarten parent and reveals her unique crying habits. The conversation takes a surprisingly deep turn as we talk about watching our parents age while somehow never picturing them as "old." Then things get weird when KP explains why she thinks prison life might actually be kind of chill, leading to a discussion about what we'd want written in our obituaries. We wr...

KP returns from her two-week East Coast vacation with stories, observations, and a surprising confession about the job she wanted in high school. We discuss the little things bringing us joy right now, why shark attacks might be the ultimate way to go out, and whether hotel duvets are as horrifying as we suspect. Plus, we tackle one of life's greatest frustrations: if you've got food in your teeth or you stink, do people have an ob...

This week: We solve the world's biggest problem...is there anything better than a hug? (KP invents the term "Melty Hug" and refuses to apologize for it.) She's also about to go on her first family vacation with kids and no diapers, we wonder why we're now buying back all the stuff we used to own at thrift stores, and Jeff wants an Air Canada captain's hat through a friend of a friend. The big question: cool souvenir or stolen ...

Jeff, KP & Backstage Ben – The Podcast

Is summer burnout a real thing, or are we all just tired from saying yes to every BBQ, patio, kids' tournament, cottage weekend, and birthday party on the calendar? This week, they guys talk about the weird guilty feeling that hits after a big weekend of food, drinks, and questionable decisions. KP recaps her Summermis Party, and somehow the conversation takes a sharp turn into her s...

This one takes a turn fast. We start with Rock The Park, which may or may not be responsible for KP's infected bellybutton, then somehow spiral into a discussion about infections, ailments, and the surprising number of things that can go wrong with the human body. We also ask whether hoodies and crew necks are officially out and if the often-mocked V-neck is making a comeback. Plus, Part II of "Everybo...

Jeff goes down the rabbit hole of online shopping for questionable bargains, from knockoff designer colognes to those monthly subscription boxes that somehow keep showing up on your credit card. Along the way, the gang discovers why whale vomit is worth a shocking amount of money and why it's used in luxury fragrances. Plus, if you've ever bought or sold something on Facebook Marketplace, we share a few tricks to help you come out ...

We let Ben’s parents review the show… and they DID NOT hold back.

Then Jeff tries throwing a house party in his tiny new house (bad idea), KP reveals she might be surviving entirely off Skittles, and we seriously question why she doesn’t just work at the store she basically lives in for the employee discount.

BUT HERE’S THE TWIST — Backstage Ben is officially broken…he can only taste salt.

This...

KP decided THE SHOW was the perfect time to do her makeup… live… on-air… with zero shame.

Meanwhile, Benny’s dealing with a full-blown “rage virus eye situation” (doctor? maybe. panic? definitely), and somehow that’s NOT the craziest story this episode.

Add in KP missing yet another major event — like… statistically impossible at this point — plus Benny’s new kit...

This episode hits straight in the nostalgia. We dive into the one feeling you can’t recreate as an adult - no matter how much cash you’ve got — and take a trip back to our latchkey kid era, when life was chaotic, unsupervised, and somehow perfect.

From the hilariously awkward pet names we learned in sex ed to the random, borderline insane ways we used to kill flies, it’s a mix of childhood memories you forgo...

Jeff, KP, and Backstage Ben dive into the harsh reality; everybody has a podcast now - so what actually makes one worth listening to? Jeff breaks down his “laser vision” (it gets weird), and Ben casually reveals he’s the voice of a Vegas landmark.

We also get real about fears — like why heights still mess with grown adults — and how kids today are living a totally different, way more “squishy&rdq...

This weekend we slow things down — talking about the comeback of CD, vinyl, and even cassettes as more people look to unplug and enjoy music the old‑school way.

Then we jump into baby name trends, and things have taken a turn. While Liam and Olivia still top the charts, names like Maverick, Genesis, and Nova are climbing past traditional picks like Thomas, Sophie, and Grace. Meanwhile, newer names like Truce and Icelynn are s...

Frozen grapes that missed the mark, pretzels making a surprise appearance, and a few questionable snack choices along the way. We also swap medical procedure stories because apparently that’s where the conversation naturally went.

Then we’re joined by Chris Costello, chair of the Big Bash - Ozdust Ball, in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters of London and Area. He shares what’s planned for this year’s event ...

This episode goes completely off the rails.

Jeff trusted his daughters to buy him a new cologne, and it backfired in a way nobody saw coming. Is it secretly awful? Are they pranking him? Or is Jeff nose‑blind and walking around offending the entire city?

Meanwhile, KP goes full vigilante for the average shopper, diving deep into what happened to customer service. Why does no one care anymore? Who broke retail? And can KP fix it bef...
