Ben Smith

Comedian Ben Smith joins the podcast to talk about his love of Kid Cudi, being in a relationship with another comedian, that time he moved to Iowa for a girl he met on Tumblr and why he hasn't traveled outside the United States yet. Ben is a hilarious comic and insane person. I loved this free flowing conversation with him.
