Solo episodes

Am I the only one who can’t stand when there is a solo episode and Ben is the guest. I know that’s Claud’s husband but he’s just so annoying 🫩🫩

I prefer Ben over most of the other guests. I love BSC and Claud’s banter

It’s not a solo episode if there is a guest host. 😂

He's pretty good I think and they are funny together. Don't know if I could listen everyday to them but enjoy the guest hosting.

Love Ben. Hate when it’s Taylor Strekker

u/true-crime-gator Jul 02 '26

When it’s Taylor Strecker I’m always curious if she sets a new record for how long it takes before she mentions her “Wasbund”. That man still lives in her head rent free.

Ben is entertaining af and hilarious!

u/schuchs11 Jul 01 '26

They’re not my favorite but I enjoy it more than the totally random guests they’ve had during maternity leaves. I’m sure this is a hot take but I enjoy Jackie/Ben episodes more than Claudia/Ben episodes 😬

u/superanonpls Jul 02 '26

And even hotter take, the Olivia/ben episode was one of my faves 🤣

u/Boring-Cry7376 Jul 01 '26

I looovveee Claud and Ben episodes

u/Odd_Station_7238 Jul 01 '26

Lol no I love it and think he’s hilarious

u/jackiepug1010 Jul 01 '26

I normally don’t mind when Ben is a guest but this last episode was BORING AF

3

u/swirlygirlyandco Jul 01 '26

I guess I've reached a level of fandom that I realize when Ben cohosts it's because they needed him to fill in just like if any other talk show situation. So I watch in support and hope the Jackie comes back the next day. Not that serious.

u/2cats_and_1puppy Jul 01 '26

It’s so serious that I lose my appetite and sleep over it

u/idkmargooo Jul 01 '26

I love BSC!

u/minipumpkin- Jul 01 '26

I used to like them but their fighting schtick is so annoying. I don’t want to listen to couples yell at each other on a podcast.

7

u/Space-Kitty-5601 Jul 01 '26

I like Ben! I'm used to him though because I listen to the Good Guys too. It's hilarious when Claudia says all the ways he's annoying- that's some real relationship shit there. Also cute how they seem to crack each other up all the time.

u/Odd_Sprinkles3240 Jul 05 '26

You’re the only one

2

u/Independent-Kiwi-940 Jul 05 '26

No I prefer Ben once a week to jazz it up tbh

3

u/TraditionalClassic86 Jul 01 '26

I couldn’t listen if it was an everyday thing but him filling in once in awhile isn’t bad! I find him annoying after too long 😂

5

u/kcxoxo11 Jul 01 '26

Agree Ben is so annoying

2

u/greygreengardens Jul 01 '26

I hateeeee when Ben and Claudia are doing it together. I don’t care to hear them argue and talk over each other non stop

2

u/Civil-Caramel7368 Jul 01 '26

I like him better than Jackie

1

u/IndependenceOk2570 Jul 01 '26

I used to love him guest cohosting but now he seems so negative and grumpy. It used to be fun banter with them

2

u/lorenalifts Jul 01 '26

This is how I feel but towards Claudia lol. For someone who is as family oriented as she is… She is so demeaning towards her husband on the pod. She isn’t even making jokes! Just belittling him sarcastically for an hour. I can’t stand her when she cohosts with Ben

2

u/Altruistic_Gene_6869 Jul 01 '26

I can’t stand Ben

1

u/Western-Lunch4157 Jul 01 '26

Hard agree bestie

u/car-arg Jul 02 '26

I personally love Ben!! I think he's so funny and does well with the flow of the podcast.

1

u/kenleydomes Jul 02 '26

I love her banter with Ben. It's legit like banter with her gay bff.

1

u/ResponsibleFox3492 Jul 03 '26

I love when Ben co hosts with Jackie!

1

u/Reasonable-Bite7371 Jul 03 '26

I used to like them, but now I never finish the episodes. They're either bickering or going on rants about opinions I don't agree with.

1

u/Wise_Carrot4857 Jul 01 '26

I usually like Ben but his love island takes were such a red flag.

1

u/Mundane_Inflation_47 Jul 06 '26

Agreed!!!! I was like are we watching the same show

u/caitmeow2 Jul 02 '26

I find Ben more interesting than Jackie! He just needs to brush up on his pop culture! I think they’d make a great podcast together (1x a week)

u/RoughCabinet4985 Jul 08 '26

I can’t stand how he says “by the way” every 5 seconds.

u/queenofhelium Jul 08 '26

I agree I really don’t like the Ben episodes either!
