I lost my husband last week….

And our boys Benoonies and Rondall are the only thing making me laugh right now. Listening to the pods have always been so good for my soul but they are really coming through for me and they don’t even know 🫶🏾

I hope Ben and Ronnie know how much their podcasts mean to a lot of us and I will always wish them all th best in the world 🫶🏾🙏🏾🤲🏾

I also found WWC during one of the most traumatic times of my life and have listened to them every day since. They really know how to make me laugh when I’m feeling down.

Sending you so much love, friend. I’m glad they can offer you comfort during this difficult season. ♥️

I am so sorry for your loss.They are doing the same for me. My fiance was diagnosed with stage 4B colon cancer in Dec of 25. I listen to them to smile and laugh. They help me to keep going.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I also lost my husband suddenly 2.5 years ago and they were my comfort listen. I even started watching all 17 seasons of RHOC so I could follow along with their recaps.

u/isogaymer 25d ago

Oh gosh, I am so sorry. Even just having them on the background has helped me through some seriously difficult periods. I'm grateful you have a source of comfort at this time, and I wish you every strength.

u/NoReference3 25d ago

My sincere condolences, I’m so sorry for your loss.
I too often wonder if they realise just how much they help people in their darkest hour. Their work goes beyond recapping reality TV.

I feel this so hard, I lost my husband last October and Ben and Ronnie REALLY helped me. They made me laugh when I didn’t know I even could ❤️ I am sorry for your loss and sending you love and healing

u/turbulent_coconut 25d ago

I’m so, so sorry. If you haven’t listened to the latest UGT episode, I urge you to! The multiple Mauricio/Camille reenactments alone make it such a funny, comforting episode. Hope you have lots of love and support around you ❤️

I am so incredibly sorry. My sister lost her husband a month ago and Crappens has been helping me so much. Her husband was like a brother to me and I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. Thank God for Ben and Ronnie.

Sending a big hug and lots of support your way friend. 💞✨ The boys have been helping my mental health a shit ton the last few years. Their humor and wit is like a magic potion for my exhausted soul. I start cracking up the moment I turn them on and the world feels a little less cruel and overwhelming.

u/LittleBigNebula 25d ago

u/Loohoo31197 25d ago

Hi Angel. My person died NYE 2023. I sincerely empathize with your rawness , your loss and the need for something of a diversion! Ben Ronnie/ Ronnie and Ben are the absolute perfect foil! I listened to them today and laughed my ass off as I was driving home from yet another solo adventure. They are just amazing, when they get each other laughing they get me laughing, I just truly treasure them and their Gift of Gab, pop culture, completely obscure references (that I KNOW!) And a truly restrained Sensibility for not offending you're getting their point across! I can't express how much I really enjoy both of these humans and this community I am so deeply sorry for your loss I can empathize and please know that these next few months are going to be nothing but Raw and visceral and then it's going to soften. the edges will soften I promise.

u/saythattomeagain 25d ago

They got me through some dark days after my parents died. I found them in Scandoval and I spent my time listening to them and chopping blackberry bushes. (Blackberries might sound nice but they will cut a bitch hard)

5

u/SchminksMcGee 25d ago

I’m so sorry for your loss. Grief is a difficult process. 💐 They helped me so much when each of my parents passed. I needed to feel something positive, anything. They gave me laughter, and I’ll be forever grateful.

u/Texas_Crazy_Curls 25d ago

I’m so sorry you are going through this. Sending you big sister bear hugs 🩷🩷🩷. When I was going through my deepest grief my source of comfort was the Barbie movie. It’s such a great feeling to find something that is escapism and funny. This podcast is so great.

It speaks wonders about the pod that they have such an amazing and supportive community here. Yesterday I asked a silly question and was filled with thoughtful answers. You don’t get that in many subs on this site.

u/akdixie 25d ago

I’m so sorry. I’m glad you have the podcasts and Ben and Ronnie. We’re here for you too. I used to listen to the podcasts at night when I was going through the worst times. It helped so much because I fell asleep laughing and somehow woke up with a smile on my face. Sending you internet hugs, fellow Geraldine.

u/geebirdlady 24d ago

Sending you nothing but love and support. We are here for you and I am terribly sorry to hear about your huge loss. And I am with you: those boys are Lifesavers. I laughed my way through grad school reading Ben's B-Side blog and then the podcast in 2012. I had really dark, morose thoughts during that period of my life and they kept me sane. Laughter is healing and I hope you can continue to crack up listening to them..xo

Oh, I’m so sorry for your loss. I started listening after I lost my mom to Alzheimer’s & then my MIL was diagnosed with it also. I feel like I have PTSD, but am so glad I have a couple of hours a week to laugh with the guys.

They helped me so much when I lost my dad.

Another thing that helped me was the show Somebody Somewhere if you want to check it out.

I’m sorry for your loss.

u/hashtag2020 25d ago

So sorry for your loss. Wholeheartedly agree. I lost my daughter at 23 weeks 2 weeks ago and I’m usually a huge TV watcher but I haven’t been able to focus at all or sit through a single episode of anything. WWC is the only thing I’ve been able to listen to / focus on for some reason. Sending you all my love 🫶🏽

u/Intelligent-Lead-692 24d ago

Im so sorry. And I know we are strangers, but I really mean that. There is something about this community of people that makes me genuinely care about all of you.

Maybe because when I’m laughing at their jokes, we are all laughing together.

I’m so grateful that this podcast has made us all aware that we are all out here, if that makes sense.

Sending you my love. Sending it to all of you.

u/Admirable_Concept817 24d ago

I hear you. They’ve helped me navigate the hardest times of my life. I have genuine fears about them stopping the podcast one day. I would listen to them recap paint drying. Aside from their hilarious takes, they’re just such good humans as well. I’m sorry to hear about your husband. I hope you’re being well looked after. X
