Noel getting genuinely angry about the White Lotus finale (for no reason) and Cody undercutting it by saying “it made me feel like I was the gun” was so funny. Anyway it was a great season and a good finale
How can you say for no reason when he gave legitimate and fair criticisms?
*noel giving a whole cinematic review and technical explanation to the things he didn't like about the scene*
cody: "i felt like i was the gun :)"
LMAOO
noel's cinematic critique is really shallow bc he just wants everything to look expensive without any thought into the reason for making certain aesthetic decisions for certain moments. He literally gave it away: they have the money. so maybe Noel should think as to why they did what they did in a show so intelligent (as he himself said) if they indeed had the money
@@sebastiankanto i agree, even Tanya’s death made sense for her character because she’s aloof and has terrible lapses in judgement. It was an anticlimactic death on purpose imo, the only thing I agree with was if the whole Greg conspiracy was in her head, it would’ve have made a lot more sense.
Cody and his wittle cold hands in his sweeves.
I don't know if he's cold but the snow might have numbed his fingers

i love the 8 ball specials they should happen twice a month
that would make it less special though. what if christmas (or whatever holiday you celebrate) happened like once a month
@@adrymarker Stop, you're making too much sense. The instant gratification tik tok generation could never comprehend what you're saying.
@@adrymarker that example is a stretch, is more like christmas twice a year, but you are right.
@@poop8867 we are literally on youtube watching one hour of guys talking, what's instant about that gratification
@@fordsrest You didn't have to seek out and form mutual company, you just clicked a video. Instant gratification.
personally, back in the Vine days, I thought and still think Ben is extremely attractive. he's like a taller, funnier, cuter Tom Cruise. I totally understand how someone feels about themselves despite what others may say about them and/or their looks but I don't think any of us can deny that he's very handsome! I'd love to chill and trip balls with him sometimes, he kind of feels like a male version of me (looks aside, I'm a solid gremlin)
Thanks for your analysis on the looks of this random guy you have never met
@@sabba6018 ……
I agree!
Simp lol you sus bruh simp lol bruh bruh
@@MistahhMingus do better
I haven't even seen White Lotus but I bet the ending was actually good because Noel thinks EVERYTHING is mid
Correct. LMAOO
This is pretty much the correct take lol
he’s TOO COOL for just SOME SHOW to impress him!
one episode on acid and ill die happily
idk if it would count to you but I remember a podcast a few months back (I think it was one of the regular TMG ones) where Ben was on acid during the pod. I would also love an acid episode where they all partook in it but I think Cody would lose his MF mind lol
Pretty sure that episode would be horrible
@@dosken756 pretty sure you would be horrible
agreed
@@dosken756 underrated comment thread
Noel is taking White Lotus way too seriously lol its satire. When Tanya fell off the yacht I laughed my ass off and then realized that she actually died.
I honestly feel like Noel brought up White Lotus just to fight about it lmao
I feel like he loves to argue! He's a lil debater
I love Emil debating Noel because sometimes Cody just nods and agrees, its fun to see some debating!!!
Real!! Noel isn't always right lol and I think he forgets that because he enjoys arguing (I don't hate noel)
Shout out Noel, he be having the worst takes fr💯🤲🏽
And he defends them with his full chest too. Truly wonderful
Noel talks about the White Lotus finale like he didn't get a call back from the audition
its so funny how obvious it is how desperately noel just wants to talk about the white lotus finale
i've never watched White Lotus, but hearing noel's ideas about how to make the ending better has me convinced he's an "it was all a dream" or "then they woke up" kind of writer lol
At this point dude is being irritating . White Lotus is good , u should give it a watch . dude wants to be a contrarian for the sake of being a contrarian
lmfao
I’ve never seen it either, but I don’t think that’s the point he was making. “It was all a dream” situations have no impact on the world inside the story. What he was saying is that the woman’s paranoia would lead her to take actions that would then lead to her death, even though they weren’t planning to kill her like she thought. That is actually a super interesting ending for a character. “It was all a dream” isn’t interesting because it removes the stakes from the actions that were taken, but Noel is specifically talking about her facing consequences for the actions she takes from her paranoia.
Emil & Cody defending White Lotus from Noel's trash-ass takes made me happy
how is no one talking about the “Other than heartbreak” line
I just came to the comments to see if anyone was 😂 so good and the camera zoom is great
timestamp?
@@i_only_watch_awesome_stuff995 37:45
lmaooo that deserved more attention
Ya so im real thrown off by the guys saying they’re scared Ben’s gonna get hot. He’s been hot.
Noel constantly talking about how bad movies are and then pitching an "and it was all in her head" ending makes him lose all credibility.
Noel has become more unlikable since he went bald
Right? Like ot would have been so predictable to have Tanya imagine the whole thing because that's what we all thought at first. Her character is like kooky so nobody takes her seriously, and everyone already thinks shes overdramatic. Following that arc would have just been mocking the character in the least satisfying way possible
I think he missed the point of the show. The point is there’s no redeemable characters. These ppl are terrible, and that includes Greg and the gays
@@ElPresidenteMargz great take
@@ElPresidenteMargz he lives in LA what do you expect
tanya slipping and accidentally killing herself was perfectly on brand for her though, and it WAS her madness driving her insane bc she killed all the gay men lmfao. idk i wasn’t expecting it and i didnt see anyone else predicting it either lol
correct. totally in character for her lol. Noel's worst take I've ever heard, but everyones entitled to their own opinion.
We get it noel your ideas are better than everyone else’s
Hard disagree on Noel on Tanya's closeup, shooting the gun. I think it was wonderful that they didn't show the violence of a bullet going through the gay guys' bodies. We're in for a ride through Tanya's perspective, feeling her feelings, flighting for her life with her. Then the camera spins & then you realize that she was actually shooting the folks, because when it was happening, you thought she was just scaring them away. It was a wonderful scene, with the punctuation of "Is Greg having an affair?"
Yes! It was such a good killing scene and as someone who Hayes onscreen violence was actually such a fun way of watching the scene without worrying how other people would fetishize the violence!
i srsly need ben to stop downing on himself bc bro is fr fine as hell, like he's my ideal type😭😭he was attractive with the glasses and is still very attractive without them!! i'm also loving the mustache!! hope you're doing okay ben
Ben without glasses still messing w me
😂same 👨🏻
That’s actually Neb, his negative
It's the same with anyone will be super normal soon
That's not Ben that's Benard
handsome devil
Right off the bat, Ben you are gorgeous and always have been. Also Emil, the sweater is ducking top tier! I actually ordered something very similar for myself a couple weeks ago and now I’m so excited to get it!
@@asmaa___ 🤣🤣 fair
Did he and his GF Erika break up? He seems to be alluding to it in a couple of episodes of Trill Mindset & seems to be going through some heartbreak. I hope he’s getting better, whatever he’s experiencing.
no hate but noel’s take on the WL finale is crazy
Dude he having the worst takes on everything since he went bald
@@ElPresidenteMargz blud made the same joke twice 💀
@@emwa.x0 it’s a long going feud
We must protect Ben I hope he gets through this depression and anxiety stufff🥲
Ketamine treatments literally saved my life. It has helped me so much I cannot overstate how much better I feel
noel is being sooo pretentious about the white lotus ending omg
I think it would be cool if each episode they played musical chairs and swapped around because the sexual tension + distance between Ben and Emil is nuts
By far my favorite tmg series!!
Noel is definitely Reddit pilled. Emil got it right. The only mistake WL did was to kill off Tanya cause she was the funnest character of the show.
Noel wanting to talk about the WL ending just to shit on it 😅 I bet he's fun to watch movies with. The shaky cam was the whole point during the gun scene.
Ben with no glasses you look GOOD! I had lasik done and felt my face was weird but after a few weeks i love it! My friends & I just had to get used to the new look
ive had to wear glasses for years but recently started to think bout gettin lasik did you have any problems?
Has Noel ever liked a movie/show in his life ?
Noel had a poor take on White Lotus’s ending in my opinion. To an extent disagree with almost everything he had to say but I only have enough energy to talk about one scene. (Spoilers:) I felt that the way that they shot Tanya’s boat squad-wipe scene was innovative. Shakeycam is always hit or miss but I honestly think they did it well here, because it actually added to the anxiety of a dark reality finally being confirmed. (A reality which NEEDED to be layed out blatantly with all the stuff in the bag to be realized, cause Tanya’s character needed undeniable reasoning for doing what she did next.) You can see Coolidge is practically shooting with her eyes closed, so with her, we are blind to her targets. I liked that the camera doesn’t turn around, so with that each step forward there’s an increasing fear that at any moment we are going to be front row witnesses of her getting shot by someone else who’s armed, we think to ourselves why else would the camera stay on her for so long? What makes it awesome though is that you just hear the body’s DROP. Shot after shot we know Tanya is absolutely merking with audio alone. I don’t think it had anything to do with budget, I think it was very clearly a fresh artistic choice to hide the action and focus on her anxiety. As a bonus we get a super long shot of Coolidge popping caps.
You’re a champ for writing this out i just yelled “girl get out” at noel
as a bisexual myself i can confirm that emil definitely gives off those vibes lol i think it's mostly in the hair and clothing style
Incredibly rude to publicly speculate about peoples sexuality. If someone does or doesn't say something about it. It's up to them.
The parasocial audacity smh. You're watching a content these people make as part of their job. You're not their 'friend'.
@@Gladiva19 i didn't speculate tho?? he's made it clear that he's straight? i just said he gives off those vibes based off some bi stereotypes lol
weird ass comment fr
Noel with another bad take about a show/movie. Thought this guy was a director/producer lmaoo
Dude made a short film and thinks he Scorcese /Spielberg now
Emil rizzed up Ben fr.
I did ketamine treatments for depression and anxiety after being on other meds for 10+ years and it 100% changed my life for the better. I can relate to Ben a ton with this. I almost wish the guys didn’t make as many jokes because more people need to be aware this is an option. Completely life changing for me.
Agree, also I would love to actually hear his insights without the others minimizing it. Ben was saying how he had a profound revelation….how is that not like the main topic?!?!
Noels being such a hater lmaoo
honestly Ben is the most entertaining and interesting part of these
Fact. Ben is ridiculously funny just naturally, seems like he isn't even trying
Ben's sigma face in the thumbnail>>>>>
Noel needs to relax
Noel be dominating the conversation i be wanting to hear someone else 😂
fucking fr dude hijacks every convo
Great way to start off the year
gotta hard disagree with noel's critique on WL and to cody, i also felt like the gun :)
hang in there Ben. im rooting for you all the way bud
If anyone is interested, as someone who just completed the ketamine treatment (nasally,not injected) I recommend it. You can do therapy with it and “have breakthroughs” while you’re high but it’s mainly for breaking mental patterns associated with anxiety and depression so you don’t get trapped in a specific way of thinking. It is not for everyone as it is expensive and takes a moderate time commitment, and probably will not be possible for people who have to work a 9-5. But for me I think it was a treatment that drastically improved my quality of life along with therapy and regular medication. And I can attest to “fighting it” giving you a bad trip, was not fun but it becomes way easier the more you do it. I’m really glad y’all were able to talk about it and normalize therapies like that, because there is a bunch of stigma around them. I hope your treatment goes well Ben!
The first season of white lotus is about greed/lying/realizing extremes and second season is about how far lust/revenge will take you and I just feel like they don’t know that.
And in my humble ass opinion, part of season 2 is also about how disappointing “love” is…so…feeling let down…is maybe kind of the point?
I wonder if they’re doing one of the seven deadly sins theme every season
@@kalyania7066 yeah
Only 2 minutes in, and I need Cody to return his Canadian passport. Man remembers Rob Ford but not how many provinces there are 🤦🏽♂️
thank god, ive been so content deprived while everyone is on break
A lot of twitch streamers aren’t taking breaks 🥹 I’ve spent more time on my phone/comp than I normally do except I’m just refreshing ev. ery. thing.
I can’t believe Ben is insecure he’s literally SO FUCKING HOTTTT and Emil 🥵🥵❤️
Facts.
15 minutes into them talking about ben's ketamine treatment i realized i was thinking they were talking about fentanyl
same lol
noel has to critique everything to the minute detail
That's why (as a fan) I won't ever go see him live, gives off arrogance
@@jadenpopereese9466 man, his loss fr fr
@@jadenpopereese9466 He works in media and production. If you have ever worked in a creative field you'd understand, things become less impressive when you know how they were made :p
His critiques get so old
@@jeffrey23133 I’m not even a huge fan and I got tired of it so quick
ben is so fine anybody who says otherwise is just lying to themselves
Best way to cope while still down and out with rona 💀 happy new year guys !!
Edit: ALSO EMIL'S SWEATER !!! A vibe, go off fashion king
Noel’s new favorite word “nothing-burger” It’s honestly not surprising he didn’t like the finale, it was a brand new thing/story and didn’t follow the flow of the 6 or so recurring story arc’s in movies and tv. Noel and the rest of smoothbrain america can’t enjoy something unless they can predict what’s gonna happen
He's been browsing /tv/ too much
“Emil exudes bi vibes” yes exactly
I swear Ben is one of the most interesting people in the world
i love that during the canadian territories thing they never mentioned quebec 😔
After a bad day, seeing Ben’s goofy ass makes me feel a lot better about myself
I'm glad Noel always speaks his mind but also jeez dude, chill out I doubt the entire production didn't just choose a "Lazy" ending😪
I’m so tired of Noel being so snobby and arrogant about everything anymore like holy fuck
This is the batman all over again lol its a personality quirk of his I guess
love my year starting off with the boys
i have covid for the first time ever and can’t taste anything so i’m bummed out but i’m glad i have some 8 ball special to watch while i recover 💕 this is my fav podcast on this channel. i just love these 4 boys together
This is just what I needed to start my new year off right!!
I’m proud that Cody is educating his friends on Alberta…now just to work on the other Provinces!
I know this episode came out months ago, and idk if anyone cares, but I've actually completed an entire Mindbloom program (the medicinal ketamine company) and it was fucking life changing for me. I have veeeery treatment resistant depression & anxiety and was kept on the same antidepressant for 4 years, which is NOT how antidepressants are actually supposed to be used. Psychiatrists unfortunately usually care more about making money, so they'll keep you on antidepressants for your whole life if they can, but most antidepressants will stop working after 1-2 years because they don't cure depression & anxiety, they only treat the symptoms long enough for you to find something else that helps you.
The ketamine, however, works sort of similarly to how both psilocybin and meditation are used to treat depression & anxiety. You take a dose that gets you somewhere between a microdose and an actual psychedelic experience, which will artificially relax you and quiet your mind. The treatments are done in conjunction with a meditation ritual around them, which you're then supposed to practice WITHOUT taking the ketamine. Basically, the ketamine creates new neuropathways in your brain that you then can learn to access without ketamine, and the neuroplasticity lasts for months after you stop the treatments, helping you re-train your brain to practice healthier habits and be able to relax and quiet your mind on its own. It's the only thing that's actually ever helped my depression & anxiety, and even though I have a very addictive personality, I've never had any cravings for ketamine or withdrawals when the program ended. HIGHLY recommend for people who haven't had much luck with psychiatric drugs, but bear in mind it can be fairly expensive since it isn't covered by insurance.
listening to them talk about a tv show i have never seen in my life and its still entertaining 10/10 episode
happy new year TMG. hope you reach your goal of 7,000 podcasts this year!
please never stop doing these
I will have you boys know that when I got entirely too high on New Year’s Eve and started to green out, your 8 Ball Specials were one of the only things that took my mind off the overwhelming anxiety and nausea!
i watch these 8ball episodes more than i watch tmg studios as a whole. these 4 are so good together 💙🤣
speaking of dear zachary i cried for like a good 95 percent of it and like HEAVING sobs my chest legitimately hurt after, would recommend
cannot describe the joy i felt when i opened youtube tonight to see what video was gonna be on the background whilst i made dinner and it was a new 8ball episode!! love u guys 💙
I love Cody’s energy so much
8 ball and the yard are my favorite podcasts there's just something about four funny dudes talking about very general yet also somehow hyper specific stuff that makes me laugh thats so perfect pls have this one twice a month
Y’all need to make this a weekly podcast I swear it’s by far the funniest show on the channel
Ben is such a character, the stories he brings are gold.
Can't wait for the obligatory "gezz people didn't like my take on whitelotus" reflection next week. Just sweep the aggression and hostility under the rug again (:
noel's cinematic critique is always really shallow bc he just wants everything to look expensive and "technically good" without any thought put into the reason for making certain aesthetic decisions for certain moments or things. He literally gave it away: they have the money. so maybe Noel should think as to why they did what they did in a show so intelligent (as he himself said) if they indeed had the money
agreed
Noel 100% missed the point of White Lotus
i'm so high this is perfect
Rizz aplenty is timeless
My rivian came with a sybian attachment🤣 I love the 8ball eps!!
dear zachary is my #1 cry movie, best watch for when I need a good cry.
EIGHT BALL TIMEEEE 🎉🎉
the 8ball projections behind them is taking me out lmfao
oh yes the Canadian Precincts
2023 has been rough so far, glad the boys are here to save it
As someone who live in Burbank, that white lotus burbank meme was good lmao. I see that hotel downtown almost every day
Ben kicking off 2023 with another fucking hilarious story
Starting the episode off by discussing Rob/Doug Ford was a trip in itself
Cody that is a Canadian classic move. The finger in the mouth during a yawn is legendary.
I can’t stand any of Noel’s White Lotus takes lol
That face goes all the way back to Zoolander. Blue Steel baby.
I love these episodes they’re just like “Its a serious dose of ketamine”
The best tmg series
Ben baffles me and I never want him to stop talking.
Ben - speaking of vine, you had one of my favorites with your April fools breakfast food vid
whoa ive been audio only with 8ball and these voices do nOt match who i thought they'd be, cute cardigan boyyos 🥺
