Mylo and Ben: The Podcast

31 Institutions, 1 Survivor: Amber Rogers Tells ALL | Ep 46

In Part 2 of this raw, unfiltered conversation on generational trauma, Amber breaks down 31 involuntary psychiatric commitments, a harrowing stay at Green Oaks in Dallas, and what it truly means when the system designed to help you becomes another abuser.  From Britney Spears' conservatorship to Wendy Williams' financial takeover, the girls connect the dots between power, silence, and who gets to decide when a woman is "well." Plus, a fire conversation about her new diversity committee role, the ugly backlash she didn't expect, and why she's done internalizing other people's mess.  This episode closes with some of the most quotable energy you'll hear this year: "It is a reflection of you, not a projection from me."  Subscribe, share, and join us — Ben is closing deals, but Mylo, Amber, and all the truth are right here waiting for you.  Chapters:  0:00 - Intro: 31 Institutions in 17 Years 1:00 - The Green Oaks Experience (Dallas) 3:00 - Medication, Rights & the Mental Health System 5:00 - Britney, Wendy & Conservatorship Corruption 7:00 - Healing, Parents & Knowing When to Be a Friend 9:00 - What People on Wellness Journeys Actually Need 10:00 - Grooming, Trauma & Being a Capital Murder Witness 12:00 - Victim vs. Survivor: Reclaiming the Label 15:00 - Diversity Committee Drama & Reverse Racism Backlash 18:00 - Why Trauma Survivors Internalize the Blame 21:00 - Survivor Superpowers & Living in Affirmations 23:00 - Surrounding Yourself With the Right People 28:00 - Reality TV: The Dark Side Behind the Camera 30:00 - Setting Boundaries & Matching Energy 33:00 - No More Paying for People Who Only Take #MyloAndBenThePodcast #GenerationalTrauma #MentalHealthAwareness #TraumaHealing #SurvivorStory #MentalHealthAdvocacy #AmberRogers #WomensEmpowerment #BreakTheSilence #ConservatorshipReform #BritneySpears #WendyWilliams #HealingJourney #BoundariesMatter #DFWPodcast #BlackAndBrownMentalHealth #MatchingEnergy #PodcastLife #NewEpisode

From Cougar Confessions to JPS Psych Ward: Amber Rogers Tells On Everybody | Ep 45

Ben took a personal day, so it's Mylo and Friend this week — and honey, Mylo did not book a guest who plays small. Amber Rogers pulls up to the couch, kicks off her four-inch heels, and hands us a story so layered we needed a Part 1 and a Part 2. We start where every healthy podcast starts: complaining about Uber cutting off the BOGO coupons, getting a boyfriend banned for life over a maskless makeout in the backseat, and Mylo officially trademarking the No-No Zone™. From there it’s Amber explaining how she became a cougar by accident and accidentally fell in love with the 28-year-old who finally taught her what a healthy relationship looks like. And then. Honey. And then. Amber pivots into the real reason she's here: generational trauma, and what happens when a child grows up watching grandpa cheat, grandma sleep on the couch, and silence get called "love." She unpacks the Dr. Phil episode where her mother went on national television and called her childhood perfect — despite police reports going back to 1980, despite being raped at 14 by the same man who later murdered her best friend, despite moving out at 15. We talk Origins rehab, why love addiction got mistreated as drug addiction, and how she walked away from meth as a choice — not a cure. Bring tissues. And maybe a Xanax. We're not your therapist — but we'll sit with you.

Straight Men, You’re SAFE & Other Truths Mylo and Ben Need to Share | Ep 44

The boys are back for round two and they came to say something.  Mylo opens with a whole story about pre-announcing his gayness before social outings — not because he's insecure, but because he refuses to be the unwanted guest at someone else's Top Golf party. Ben takes it deeper, sharing what it's really like navigating the mortgage industry as an openly gay man in 2026 and why asking "are you prepared to work with a gay person?" was never about seeking permission.  From there, things get delightfully unhinged: a sweaty straight man warned Mylo not to hit on him (sir, relax), Ben's fridge died and Trinity Home Advisors saved her life-  Oh, and Ben's headed to Puerto Rico, but first she needs her passport because apparently ICE is now working TSA.  It's giving chaos. It's giving clarity. It's giving Mylo and Ben.

Miss Betty Is NOT a Prude and Somebody Got Triggered (It Was Mylo) | Ep 43

Buckle up, besties, because Mylo and Ben are back and absolutely not keeping it cute this week.  The boys go off on the Frankie Paul/Bachelorette implosion (Disney really said "not today"), break down DARVO like the armchair therapists they are, review The Housemaid and Wicked Part 2 with the unfiltered honesty neither movie asked for, and somehow spiral into a full Call Me By Your Name triggered rant about age gaps in gay relationships.  Oh, and we also cover dolphin abductions (allegedly), a meteor that may or may not be a missile, the Epstein files that nobody asked us to look at but can't ignore, election feelings, Pretty Ricky's tongue in 2025, and an elderly stud at a drag show who absolutely stole the whole night.  It's a lot. It's always a lot. And that's why you're here.

How in the Hell Are You Gonna Do More, When You Couldn't Even Do Enough? | Ep 42

This week, Mylo and Ben showed up with zero agenda and absolutely no regrets — and honestly?  That's exactly why we keep coming back.  They kick things off dragging relationships to filth, specifically the unspoken rule that one person always does 70% of the work while the other one smiles and collects the credit. When Jeff cheated, Ben didn't spiral — he ran a full audit. Taller? Richer? A Birkin in the trunk? No? Then, baby, you traded down and you did it for free.  From there it's birthday szn chaos (Mariah's birthday twin is turning 58, and yes he's counting down), a whole Leo vs. Aries astrology sidebar, and a very serious discussion about Denise Richards' facelift that somehow becomes a personal vision board moment.  Chapters: 0:00 Who's really doing the work in relationships? 1:00 The cheater always does the least 2:00 When Jeff cheated — the full audit 3:00 Birthday season, Aries energy & Mariah Carey twins 4:00 Why Ben connects with R&B over everything 5:00 Hispanic identity & being read wrong 6:00 Family secrets & grandfather's mystery birthday 7:00 Denise Richards' facelift & getting the lift before 60 8:00 Puerto Rico trip & birthday drag show plans 9:00 The wine era begins — from moscato to red blends 10:00 Caymus at $90 a bottle and the dupe hunt 11:00 Grandfather's Coors Light era & never wanting to drink 12:00 First legal drink & the blender margarita incident 13:00 Kool-Aid packets in vodka sodas — keeping it cute 14:00 The third drink rule & alcohol in relationships 15:00 The angry drunk era, therapy & getting kicked out of S4 16:00 Mariah vs. Beyoncé: the bar showdown 18:00 RuPaul's Drag Race, Bianca Del Rio & the glow-up 19:00 Why this podcast works & outro #MyloAndBenPodcast #PodcastLife #RelationshipTea #CheatingReceipts #MarriageTruths #MariahCarey #BeyonceVsMariah #AstrologyTalk #AriesSeason #BirthdaySZN #DrinkEras #WinePodcast #CaymusWine #GayPodcast #LGBTQPodcast #DragShow #RuPaulsDragRace #BiancaDelRio #LifestylePodcast #FriendshipPodcast #OverShareAndCare #RealTalk #HispanicPodcast #PodcastRecommendation #NewEpisode
