Ben Microneedled & Over-Served (ft. Laura)

This week on It’s Ben A Week, Ben is joined by one of his closest friends, Laura, for a conversation that quickly goes off the rails — and that’s before the cocktails really kick in. After opening the episode with a rant about people who keep their phones on Do Not Disturb, and addressing a decades-old rumor from his Minnesota barrel racing days, Ben welcomes Laura back to the podcast for a hilarious, completely unfiltered catch-up. Together, Ben and Laura dive into: Why people having their phones on Do Not Disturb drives Ben absolutely insane A barrel racing rumor that somehow refuses to die Being a “gold star gay” and why strangers remain fascinated by Ben’s love life Ben’s latest skincare obsession: microneedling and salmon sperm treatments The beauty procedures people will try in the name of looking younger Friendship, aging, and the ridiculous things we convince ourselves to spend money on Family stories that somehow get more unbelievable every year Horse life, ranch life, and growing up in Minnesota Pop culture, random observations, and several conversations that should probably have stayed off-mic Why some friendships are built entirely on making each other laugh As always, the conversation bounces between heartfelt, ridiculous, and completely inappropriate with very little warning. Pour yourself a drink and join Ben and Laura for one of the most relaxed and funniest episodes of Season 2 so far. 🎧 Subscribe to It’s Ben a Week New episodes every week filled with unfiltered stories, wild guests, and brutally honest laughs.
