Ben C Jones on Hot Yoga Cults, Billionaire Rockets & Trippy New Tunes

Send us Fan MailBuckle the f*ck up, because The Funky Panther just dropped an episode that smells like incense, ego death, and pure audio chaos. Musician and part-time sweat demon Ben C Jones is back—flexible, funky, and freshly cooked from his daily 105-degree hot yoga cult. Spoiler: his chakras are aligned, his joints are loose, and he might’ve accidentally joined a tantric death spiral. Enlightenment optional.While Ben’s finding nirvana in a puddle of his own BO, Chad escapes Fort Worth and dives straight into Asia’s adult playground—Macau and Hong Kong. Between gambling dens, dice games in back-alley bars, and Portuguese bartenders with loose morals, it’s a travelogue that sounds more like a deleted scene from The Hangover 4: Oriental Express.Then it gets extra spicy—the gang breaks down Blue Origin’s girlboss space cruise, featuring Katy Perry floating around like it’s a zero-G makeup ad. Are these pop stars actually astronauts—or just influencers with rocket-fueled privilege? The debate spirals into capitalism, space pollution, and how much they’d personally fork over to escape this flaming meatball of a planet… for eleven goddamn minutes.Meanwhile, Ben teases his new psych-rock masterpiece, dropping May 23rd via Amplify 817. It’s like Pink Floyd, Tame Impala, and your weird stoner cousin had a baby and let it record itself in a home studio filled with lava lamps and vintage trauma. Don’t sleep on the June 13th album release party at The Post—expect killer vibes, musical therapy, and maybe a few mild hallucinations.The episode ends with nuclear-grade “Bad Takes” that’ll piss off astronauts, yogis, and probably your mom. Plus, an “Overrated vs. Underrated” segment that drags Spotify and worships the holy gospel of local music legends.June 13th. The Post. Ben C Jones, Richer Hall, Dave Cave, and Reagan Beard. It’s not just a show—it’s a sonic exorcism.
