On this very special 40th episode of the podcast, I sit down with Ben Stager. Ben is a comedian, writer, performer, and fellow podcaster — a viral social media prodigy captivating audiences across every platform in existence. His dry wit and sharp humor has earned him a reputation as one of the city's most up-and-coming comedians. In fact, it is my personal opinion that Ben is funnier than any of the other comedians I've had on the podcast — No shade to them but, you know, that's just how I feel. Is that a problem?
You can catch Ben at every comedy club in the city, every night of the week. He's not shy. I know this because I have seen him perform twice, and both times, I was thinking to myself, "I should DM this guy and ask him to be on the podcast."
He says what he wants, which has earned him mad respect with the locals and with many OG comedians like Bill Burr and shit. He can sometimes be crazy, which is not good, but recently, he got that under control thanks to some wellness techniques he learned at a wellness retreat. He obsesses over comedy day and night and almost never takes breaks. However, when his body is on the verge of failure, he always takes a much needed break. It is in these "restful Ben moments," as he himself refers to them, where you can catch him in his living room, chilling. He sometimes goes grocery shopping, too, filling his cart with all of his favourite foods and provisions, such as milk and nuts.
Something else about Ben is that he seemingly loves to take road trips. He makes frequent stops at OnRoute rest stations which interestingly, are all owned by a British asset management firm. I personally always found this information disconcerting, but during those long drives to let's say, Gatineau, I often choose to ignore the company ownership revelation due to my body needing a quick rest. I'm sure Ben and his posse feel the same way.
