The Ben Maynard Program
EP. 87 "FRIDAY NIGHT LIVE"!....Peep Pack Challenge Failure
Ever wondered what happens when a grown man attempts to stuff as many marshmallow Peeps as possible into his mouth? The latest Friday Night Live edition of the Ben Maynard Program answers this burning question with equal parts humor and disappointment.
This week's livestream takes an unexpected turn as Ben announces a simulcast on TikTok—a first for the show—while lamenting his terrible performance in the annual "Peep Pack Challenge." Despite once holding a personal record of 15 marshmallow bunnies, Ben barely manages 8 before surrendering, comparing himself to an aging baseball player who can no longer catch up to fastballs. The self-deprecating humor and genuine disappointment make for an endearingly authentic moment.
Between celebrity birthdays, historical facts, and show updates, Ben shares news of an exciting venture: a music-focused podcast called "Talking Rock Fan" with his friend Shannon from Indiana. Their natural chemistry during test runs promises engaging conversations for music enthusiasts, with a Facebook page already active for curious listeners. Ben also recounts a parking lot mishap where someone backed into his truck and drove away, prompting an impromptu chase to capture the license plate.
Perhaps most touching is Ben's brief but heartfelt reminder about Easter's true significance amid the marshmallow madness. As a self-described "staunch Christian," he emphasizes that while egg hunts and baskets are fun, the resurrection story remains central to the holiday's meaning—adding unexpected depth to an otherwise lighthearted stream.
Whether you're here for the challenges, the conversation, or simply Ben's inimitable hosting style, this episode delivers the perfect Friday night entertainment. Subscribe to the podcast, follow on social media, and join the growing Ben Maynard community for more unpredictable moments every week!

Speaker 1:Yes, we are, and I appreciate all of this. Now for you watching at home on YouTube check this out. We're almost kind of doing a simulcast here, because I am on Catherine's TikTok account. Hi people, I see you right there. I don't have my. I don't have my.
Speaker 1:Yeah, friday Night Live. You know it. Woo, I don't have my glasses on, so it's really hard to see, but I'm trying something a little bit different and I was trying to get my own account set up against my better judgment, but nonetheless I was trying to get it, get it set up. And what do we got coming in good stuff coming in on the yeah, on my cell phone here and we were having a issue getting a set up. So Catherine says, well, just go on mine, just go live on my account. So that's cool. So it's Tess. I see, man, this is yes, hi, tess, that's my daughter. Tess is my daughter. So what's up, girl? Anyways, so trying something a little bit different because, as I've said plenty of times, I just want people to watch the show or listen to it as well.
Speaker 1:Friday Night Live. You have to watch because it's live, all right, but just want to get more eyes on this podcast because it's a lot of fun and let's have a lot of fun together. Okay, so there you go. Now. What do we have going tonight? Well, what we normally do for the newbies newbies. Okay, I'll explain it to you. It's Friday night, it's a little bit special, it's a little different than what, okay, wait, wait, no, I don't need to filter comments. So it's a little bit different. It's a little more loose. You have a little more funds. You know Lucy goose and all that.
Speaker 1:To start things off, we have the Malort Challenge right here, this bottle of Jepson's Malort. Okay, what is the Malort Challenge? Well, anyone who calls into the program and I'll post the phone number, let me get it right. Although, come on, people, you should already know it. Let me get it right. Although, come on, people, you should already know it. Let's get it on the screen. There, it is OK. So, phone numbers on the screen. Comments are ready to go.
Speaker 1:As soon as you're all ready to go, got to take a drink of this. This is nasty stuff. This is not good. It is absolutely terrible. I'll take it in my Mr Spock shot glass right here, mr Spock, with a bean, boozled bean, I think. This one's like stink bug or something like that. So it's not good.
Speaker 1:Now, this is not a drinking show, drinking show, but the Malort Challenge is a way to get you, the audience, to participate, get you to get a little engagement between you and I and just have some fun. All right, oh, I'm not looking forward to it, trust me, not after a month ago. It's been speaking of a month. It's been a month since we were last together on Friday Night Live. I think that was because we did the drunk show Aftermath, and the drunk show Aftermath, of course, was a week after the drunk show.
Speaker 1:So there was a drunk show and it was my public service announcement to everyone at home to give you a little heads up on the effects of alcohol on you. My daughter, tess, was in studio with me. We had a good time. She monitored me. It was a ton of fun. Well, it was fun to have her in the studio.
Speaker 1:I got hammered all right for all the newbies. I got thrashed so much so I don't even remember the last 45 minutes of the show. But, as I said, it was my public service announcement. I did it, so you didn't have to. And just you know I'm a real big believer in drinking responsibly, and so that's kind of how it was. You get to see the effects of alcohol on me. I'm not the biggest guy, but I would say I'm on the medium to larger build. I'm six foot, I'm over 200 pounds, so I'm not little, and you could get to see how it had its effect on me. So there you go. That was a month ago. A month ago we did that and now we're back. So it's all right, it's all good. So, welcome in everybody to Friday Night Live. Yeah, so that's what we have going.
Speaker 1:Malort Challenge let's get started with a little something here. Okay, let's open up. Oh, there we go. How about if we start with some celebrity birthdays? Okay, today is Friday, april 11th, and celebrity birthdays Rapper Ken Carson.

Speaker 1:So what has been going on this week? What's been happening this week? Well, what's been happening since we saw you last this week? What's been happening this week? Well, what's been happening since we saw you last? A lot of strange work schedules that I have. I've been working a lot of nights, week in and week out. That's not my normal work schedule, but that's what's been going on. I was on nights again this week.
Speaker 1:I got home this morning at time that I get home. I was trying to get home early. Um, I think I got home about five 30, about five 30 this morning. I started at five o'clock last night and um, got home, jumped in the shower, then I ran across the hall, got in a workout, jumped in the shower, then I ran across the hall, got in a workout, then I took another shower and I was going to try and stay up. I had to do that a few weeks ago and I was going to try to stay up until this evening and I was like, okay, yeah, just I can't hang. So I took a nap for about two and a half hours and then I got up, started to do some show prep today, because earlier I recorded an episode. It was it was episode number 86.
Speaker 1:And it was celebrating Aerosmith's Toys in the Attic. That album turns 50 years old. This week, on the 8th, the 8th, it turned 50. Great album from Aerosmith, so did a nice little show about that. It was good and, as a matter of fact, you at home in the TikTok world, you guys, got to see the whole show live. So thanks for sticking around for that one, but it was good, it was a good time.
Speaker 1:And what else is going on? I don't know. I don't know, just just regular stuff, tough work week, all that kind of thing. I don't know, just regular stuff, tough work week, all that kind of thing. Just trying to also iron out. I may have mentioned to you or not. If I did, I apologize for repeating myself, but you know, we do pick up new members of the audience from time to time. The audience isn't huge, but we pick up new members.
Speaker 1:And I'm working on another podcast with a guy. His name is Shannon. He lives in Indiana. So right there, we have a little bit of a challenge because there's a three-hour time difference. So we have to work out our schedules, trying to come together.
Speaker 1:We talked a bit last week. Actually, I streamed him in so we could see one another face to face, kind of see how things would look, and just all we did was just talk. Just talked about music, different things, and he hasn't done this thing before, and not that I'm some great veteran or anything like that, but I am certainly used to talking into a microphone and looking into a camera and hoping that there are people out there watching, when I know that there actually nobody. There is nobody watching when you're, when you're recording the show. But, um, so we just got, you know, got into some good, uh, music conversation and that's kind of really what the flow of the podcast will be. We're going to talk a lot about music and he's already come up with a title for the show. He came up with artwork and all that kind of stuff and you know what. Hold on a second. I think I have something here, just so you can check it out. Let me see if I have it here. Put these on.
Speaker 1:Actually, yes, the podcast is going to be called Talking Rock Fan. There's already a Facebook page, so you can check it out on Facebook. Talking Rock Fan on Facebook. Go on there, check it out. Join the group, get in on some of the conversation. Shannon's already been posting a few things on there. Check it out, you know, uh, you know, join the group. Get in on, uh, some of the conversation. Shannon's already been posting a few things on there and um, so it's yeah, it's all good.
Speaker 1:We just haven't launched a first episode yet, but we're going to get to it. I'm hoping we we might even get that out this weekend, which would be great. It'd be awesome and and he's, it's just he's a really cool guy and the conversation, just it flows real easily. So it's, yeah, it's just a matter of him being comfortable with it. That's all. It's all good and we're going to have a good time with it. So when we, when it does drop, when the first episode drops, we're going to have a good time with it. So when it does drop, when the first episode drops, you're going to have to check it out. You need to be in on it, people, okay.
Speaker 1:Also, for those of you in the TikTok world, follow me on Facebook. Okay, facebook is really right now and for many, many years. Facebook is the one social media platform why I am the most active. I do have the Instagram page, as you heard in the opening, but my wife, catherine, manages that and she set it up herself. I have no control over it, so if I need anything done on it, then I have to go through her and we kind of get lazy on the Instagram page, to be perfectly honest with you, but I am pretty active on Facebook. I know it's more for old people, but I'm old.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, just Ben Maynard. All right, look me up and you'll see me right there. Send me a friend request, okay, and we'll go from there and then you can see everything that happens. You can follow me, all that good stuff, whatever but let's see what else. What else do we have going? Yeah, so you get two Facebook pages that you have to join. You've got to join the Talking Rock Fan Facebook page and then you've got to hook up with me as well. All right, and then one of these days we'll get the. I'll get my own TikTok for the podcast worked out, hoping, tomorrow We'll see what happens, but until then we're here.
Speaker 1:Podcast worked out, hoping tomorrow we'll see what happens, but uh, until then we're here, and katherine has way more followers than I do. I mean, obviously I have none, so that's just the way it goes. Uh, oh man, I'll tell you. You know what this was. This was. This made me so mad. So mad because people are just, I don't know, so inconsiderate.
Speaker 1:So I had gone to the grocery store this afternoon and I was in the parking lot and I'm going down the aisle and I had to come to a stop. I see my parking spot right here up on my left side, but I can't get to yet because that one vehicle backing out of one spot over here, another vehicle backing out of spot over here, so they're kind of waiting for each other. I see a guy walk past my truck on my right side and, okay, walks past me, no big deal, and I'm sitting here. I'm still waiting for these folks to figure out what they're doing, pulling out of their parking stalls, and all of a sudden I'm just sitting here, my truck, all of a sudden I one of these things, yeah, and I'm like what? And I looked to my side and there's a pickup truck backing into the side of my vehicle. I was like, oh, you gotta be kidding me. So I laid out my horn. Of course the guy pulls forward into his parking stall. Now the two vehicles I'm waiting for they've pulled out of there, they've taken care of their business and they're on their way.
Speaker 1:So I pull right up ahead into the parking spot I was waiting for because it was literally like two spots up and pulled in, got out, the guy's backing up and he's driving away and I'm going yo, really, I literally did. I yelled at him and he just kept on going, I had my, I had my phone with me and, uh, I grabbed my phone and I literally started running after the truck and I thought, okay, well, I gotta, it was a company vehicle too, it had some kind of a logo on the door, and so I I grabbed my phone and I'm running after the truck. I'm just trying to get close enough because I don't think I'm going to catch up to the guy. You know, I did all right, you know, for a 60 year old guy, I was, I was, you know, doing, okay, I wasn't in a full sprint, but for my age, you know, it was almost a full sprint anyway. But so so I I got close enough to where I opened up. I'm running and I'm opening my phone at the same time. I hit my camera, open it up, and and then I get close enough and I zoomed in and I got a shot of the license plate yeah, you know it. And then I had to stop and I opened it up. Oh yeah, I can read the whole thing right there. Get your sucker.
Speaker 1:So I did go back to my truck, of course, afterwards, and look, there wasn't. Let's put it this way If you didn't know, there's there. If you didn't know anything had happened, you might not really spot the dent in my truck. It's it's that minimal, but that's not the point. It is there now and it wasn't there when I was driving through the parking lot before I got to park my truck. So it was really inconsiderate, especially when I'm rocking like so you know, yet you hit something. So give me a break. Okay, homes Just not cool. It's just not cool at all, and I don't understand how people can be so inconsiderate. All right, but unfortunately that's the way it goes. So that happened.
Speaker 1:I'll take care of it. I'll probably call my insurance company on Monday and I'll give them the license plate number and then they can proceed from there. I don't know if they're going to want me to, like, call the police department and file a report. Maybe, I don't know, who knows, we'll figure it out. Actually, wait, wait, tomorrow's set. I might be able to call them tomorrow because I think they they have. They have people standing by on Saturdays. So, yeah, take care of it tomorrow. You're gonna get it bud anyway. Uh, all right. So look what's coming up. Well, the reason. Okay, I don't know if you guys oh, you guys at home on TikTok, you didn't see this, but tonight we are going to do, and nobody has called in yet, so we are going to do.
Speaker 1:Where'd it go? Ah, there, it is Right at the bottom of the screen. Here you can see the crawl, or the scroll, and what does it say? It says the revenge tour. Now, for all you new people you're not going to know, for all the folks that have been around for at least a year, if you remember, what month are we in? We're in April right now. What is next week? What is on? What is that like? April 20th, easter Sunday.
Speaker 1:Okay, last year I celebrated Easter Sunday with you all, right here, live in the studio, by doing a peep pack. Now, what's a peep pack? Where's my stuff here? Ah, there's my stuff. There's my stuff. If my daughter, tess, is still watching, she knows what a peep pack is. If my kids, if any of my kids, are watching, they know what a peep pack is. If my grandkids are watching, they know what a peep pack is. And it's peep pack. Okay, two words peep pack. So you guys know these, right, you know these, all the peeps, and you know the little marshmallow. There's the little marshmallow chicks and then there's the marshmallow. Now they have little marshmallow baby bunnies as well, and they got like a thousand different flavors. Okay, maybe not a thousand, a hundred different flavors. They're really cool. They're really cool. What I did last year is I tried to see how many of these little baby bunnies I could cram into my pie hole without throwing up, and I had to close my lips too. Ok. So of course, in celebration of Easter Sunday, we are going to have a peak Pack. Now, easter is another week from now, but Friday Night Live isn't always every Friday night, it's just from, I'd say, every once in a while or when work doesn't afford me the opportunity to write and prepare a show. Then we got to stream live because I got to get you your dose of Ben Maynard every week. So we're going to do the peat pack shortly.
Speaker 1:But first, before we get into that peat pack now, oh, you know what? Hi, hello, my beautiful wife. Well, you can come in if you'd like to. I mean, I don't know if I'm ready for you, but you can come in. Well, you don't have like hair to hold back or anything. No, I don't have hair to hold back. So if I am going to puke, you know I won't. You know, there is no hair to hold back. Well, there's hair, but it's not long. Now, yeah, what happened Nothing. Oh, now, yeah, what happened Nothing? Oh, okay, I'm just reading comments. I know, hang on. Hang on, though, so you know what I didn't do. Let me see if I can do this really quick. You're all going to have to hang tough, okay, let me go back.
Speaker 1:I want to see if I documented how many peeps I actually got into my pie hole. I think it was only like Did we do the chicks last year? They were larger ones, so I think I did like chickens. No, I think I did like nine July, july, june.
Speaker 1:For those of you watching this at home and thinking, what are you doing, this is my show log, so let me see. Let's play CPR. I don't know, I don't know. I'm not a DJ. You should be, though, wait, wait, hold on April 19th that's what everyone should be asking. Yeah, well, I told them, yeah, oh, you did. I told them that we've got the Peat Pack coming. I mean not Peat Pack, but I told them that we're playing. Well, actually, you know what? I didn't say Stomp the Chump. I just said wait, you can't turn that. You can't turn that. I didn't say we were playing Stump the Chump. I said we were doing the Malore Challenge. So Stump the Chump is.
Speaker 1:If you come in here with music trivia and you stump me, then the same thing applies. I've got to take a drink of this stuff here. Wait, can I Wait? Oh, okay, well, you're looking for that. You said you need to build some. Wait, I know, hold on what? Oh See how full of it she is. She's like oh, I put my face in here. Everybody's going to jump on board. I want them to stump him so that way he has to drink.
Speaker 1:Peep pack revisited because we did. Someone ask a question on TikTok. You know what? Stump him with a question, shoot, shoot. I did not.
Speaker 1:I didn't document how many peeps I crammed into my pile. Jeff probably knows, but I think it was like because it was the larger ones, it was the chicks, I think it was like eight or nine. All right, look. All right. You want me to scoot over? Come on, get in right here so you can get some face time. Where are you going Now? You got hair time, okay, yeah, now I'm too far away. It's okay, that's all right. Okay, I'm on YouTube. Let me go back to my spot. Yeah, okay, cool, all right, so we're going to get into that peat pack, but you know what? First things first. I'm going to get a little serious here.
Speaker 1:You can celebrate Easter Sunday however you want to. You can have all your, your, your Easter egg hunts and Easter baskets and all that kind of stuff and pretty sundresses, and you know all that, all that good stuff, and that's all great. Um, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. But, just like with Christmas, I don't want people to forget what easter sunday is all about. Um, you know, for my audience, you guys know, for the ones that have been around for a while, we're, we're like, we're staunch christians, we're hardcore christians and, uh, and so the two biggest, so the two biggest holidays within our faith, the biggest celebrations are Christmas Day, with the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ, and, of course, easter Sunday, when after, with you know, on the third day, christ rose from the dead. Ok, so that is like, that is like the staple and that's what really our religion is based on. So just don't forget that stuff. Okay, don't forget that and go ahead and celebrate Easter Sunday any old way you want to, but just don't forget what it's truly all about. Okay, so with that, here we go. I know I like sigh and I groan like I'm going to hate this. I'm going to love this, I'm going to love every minute of it, all right, so let's open up this pack right here, right there, eight little little baby bunnies, and then we will open up the purple pack. Also. That's another eight little baby bunnies.
Speaker 1:Now I can tell you this, that I know that my record this was quiet. This was a few years back. Oh wait, yeah, you better hold this bag over here, my love. It doesn't encourage your viewers to share your life. Well, how do I I don't know what that means Just tell them, oh, okay, people out there watching. Tell your friends that I love. No, share it. Share it, oh, share it. Share it. However. You do that, okay, share it with, like, all your friends and all your buddies, and then we'll have more people watching. Okay, um, since there's like no one watching on YouTube, okay, they just are right now. Yeah, they were earlier, but now they're gone. They leave right before the good stuff. So my record on the little baby bunnies is 15.
Speaker 1:Now, that was, uh, that was quite. That was a few years ago. I was a few years ago. I was a little bit younger man then, and so I don't know if I could. I don't know. Maybe there was a little more elasticity or maybe my mouth was much larger then and as I get older it's shrinking. I don't know, who knows.
Speaker 1:But we're going to get get this started. We have 16 to start. I have an additional eight right behind here, so I don't know, I don't think we're gonna get to those, but I'm hoping that and this is the one time where he is quiet and I get to talk oh, yeah, well, okay. But if you're gonna talk, you're going to talk off camera, here to the tiktok audience, but to the youtube audience. You'll be on camera. So, okay, well, yeah. So yeah, there you go. Well, scoot it, scoot, scoot a little closer. Why don't I? No, no, scoot free to get out of it. I'm not. No, I'm okay. This is my show. I'm never gonna be.
Speaker 1:How many um peeps? Okay, well, like I said, we've got. Oh, no, not you. I want everyone to guess. Oh, take a guess, yeah, take a guess at how many peeps. Let me see if we have any comments. I don't think we do. No, we have no comments. So, yeah, start guessing at how many peeps that I'm going and close my lips.
Speaker 1:When I first did it I thought easy, and I think I got three. So let's see, he's got a method to his madness here. Yeah, I'll see. All right, here we go. Okay, this is one, and it's good because there's so many in a pack so you don't really have to count. And it's over. It's pretty fast, it goes by fast. Oh, we'll see about that. Yeah, oh, he's still talking. Okay, so that's three. And see how he puts them in on the side. But it's more gross when they all come out of his mouth. What, oh, someone's guessing On the back. Oh, oh, let's put it there. Yeah, okay, so that is.
Speaker 1:This is the sixth one one going on. Six, okay, come on, hit the like button, tap your screen, keep going. Eight, well, I'm saying it too. Eight, no more. Okay, okay, okay, I think that's it. Wait, did you get a napkin? Let me get you one.
Speaker 1:Oh, oh, ma'am, I am so bitterly disappointed. I am so bitterly disappointed. That's terrible. What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me? Oh, that was only eight. I got eight of those big old chicks.
Speaker 1:Last year I got eight little baby bunnies. Write it down how many you have. So you remember. No, I'm mad. Well, wait a second.
Speaker 1:Oh, that is horrible, that's terrible. I have 15 is the record, and I barely did half and I was almost dying. So no one's dumping you yet with questions. No, nobody's asking me any questions. No. Musical trivia no, and I'm not as good looking as you are, so people aren't as interested in that stuff. You know that's horrible. Music trivia is music trivia. Hang on, that's terrible. You know people, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. That was. You know what. You deserve so much more than that. You deserve way better than that performance. That was absolutely terrible performance. I don't know what to say. I should be ashamed of myself. I mean, when I end the show I'll probably walk out of here hanging my head in shame. Yeah, that was bad. That was so bad I didn't even come close.
Speaker 1:You know, maybe it's like a, maybe it's like a. You know an older guy in baseball. You know an older guy in baseball. You know that 40 year old guys in his last season. You know he's going to call it, but he, he just can't catch up to the fastball anymore. You know he's having a hard time with it instead of yanking that ball. You know into left field. You know roping it. He's behind on it, he's fouling it off. You know into left field, you know roping it. He's behind on it, he's fouling it off. You know fouling it down the first base line. So I don't know, man, I'm bummed out. That sucks.
Speaker 1:Well, what can I say? You know, if we go live next Friday and I really won't know until probably Thursday, who knows? But if we go live next Friday, I'll probably still have some peeps laying around the house and, I don't know, we may have to come back hardcore. Maybe I'll have to start practicing during the week. I mean what they're like? $1.88 a pack or something. No big deal. So we'll figure it out, but it's very, very disappointing, very disappointing. Yeah, peep Pack Revenge Tour. Oh man, peep Packs no. Peep Packs 1, ben Donut 0. Yeah, you guys took it to me, little baby bunnies, anyway, all right. Well, enough of this.
