I want David’s order from Anthony and Sons and then his 4 next best sandwich shops and orders from there

Y'all read my husband's name (Adam Gainey) but got distracted and never read his question. It'll haunt us forever. 🥺😭

Hey Ben, thanks for the Boonton Rep ✨ I knew the stories of Dirt Bike Benny felt personal for a reason.
Robert Denby
There's always this playlist for Talking Fanfare. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfsfvk0M3AS607br6olglhs1wVR7WHXZl

As soon as the Beatles album question came up I was like "Ben is going to be a White Album person like me" & I was very happy to be right.
Josh
Griffin half-asking “what’s your favorite Rutles album” is everything I love about this fucking podcast
Alex Solliday
I'm sorry but David is clearly Paul as the leader of the Beatles
Joe Martin
Did the rumor of Old Dogs having a R-rated cut start with Barry Sonnenfeld’s RV? I’m watching it now on cable and I think I remember reading about how the script or the first cut was different and had more of an edge like the first Vacation, but they thought it’d sell better as a family film? Both films were released around the same time and Old Dogs was a much weirder film, I wonder if people flip-flopped the two since RV is kind of forgettable (I like it) and hoped Old Dogs was even more bizarre.
Joe Miller
Fuck David’s video game podcast, when do we get David’s podcast of the wives of Henry VIII!
Krista
BEN IS LAVA. Thanks for responding to my question! I am fully here to support Griffin’s Charmy the Bee quest.
Matt F
I want Jim’s Dad to be a contestant in Escape Room 3
Michael Hashizume
Ben just casually dropping gems like pocket rock and upside-down Spider-Man showings. He's operating on another level from the rest of us
Mike R
Thanks you guys! If the next spidey isnt screened with us all upside down I will be very upset
Rad Rodge
Hahahah the flip side of everyone's favorite Griffin pitch "Penny Marshall Garry Marshall back to back"
Jessica B
I LOVED the astrology reading. Stuff I’ve been wondering for awhile!
Parker Winship
Conceptual miniseries pitch that’s probably been made before: combo Paul W.S. Anderson and Paul Thomas Anderson series, going simultaneously through both filmographies chronologically, so… Shopping, Mortal Kombat, Hard Eight, Event Horizon, Boogie Nights etc etc through Monster Hunter and Licorice Pizza

One of my favourite parts of the commentaries is when Ben is enjoying a movie he is seeing for the first time, and I also love when the guys are like "Oh Ben you HAVE to see _____, you would love it. Total Ben movie". I want a boys choice for Ben. Get to hear Ben find out about a Ben's choice in real time!
Clare Lowe
The fact that Gonzo wasn't even mentioned ...livid.
Tom Lowery
Bona Lisa: F.W. Murnau’s purloined skull.
JB
Listening to Ben discussing potential Ben’s Choices caused an epiphany. This is the official start of the campaign to make TREMORS a Ben’s Choice

Storm chaser Jay
Any possible way we can cover the movie twister? I'm an actual storm chaser and would love your take
Rob Moden
Gosh, I desperately want that long-considered Simpsons Movie episode.
Diaperbutt69
Please do boss baby 2 commentary for the patreon aakskfkfj
Inspector Tiger
Thanks for not spoiling No Way Home even though it's been out for a bit now, those of us who can't go to theatres (or whose theatres are closed cuz of omicron) appreciate it!
Anthony Regina
Them laying out how many movies are coming out in the next two years is so…god I don’t even have a word for the emotion.
Lowell Bartholomee
Thank you for this birthday present. You are the best!
Skye Payne
Wow I guessed griff was a leo moon!! If you want an astrologer’s perspective I am a professional!!!
John Cody
Compromise for Marvel: Just have a Phase 4 Recap-tacular episode. 3 hours long episode (not commentary) and cover them all. Or break into 2 parts. Would save you all time re-watching them and wouldn't clog up the feed for months.
Tanner McCullough
I'm getting a pocket rock or two now.

Fewer presents, more questions. Wish they'd gone long on some of these.
Jordan Deschamps
Ben's Bad Bootlegs

Arsenal have a manager called Arsene, which is kind of as(s)tounding.
Anthony Koval
Every time David reminds me he is an Arsenal fan, I die a little #COYS
Jacob Prante
i love y’all
