In the penultimate episode of "Stop the Bit," we look back—way back! In the beginning, the earth was formless and empty. And so the Lord @BennyBall said, “Let there be podcasts." And it was so. Then God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the podcasts, to separate ads from entertainment." And God saw that it was good. And as for the iniquitous @RyanTheLeader, God spake to him, proclaiming: "Thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy splendor. I will cast thee to the ground!"Elsewhere in the program: the boys compete in the hottest new game show, Ryan portrays the laziest Halloween party guest of all time, and Ben's McDonald's order WAS STOLEN!Like, subscribe, and share with the disillusioned altar boy in your life.► Follow the show! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ► Follow Ryan! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠► Follow Ben! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠Chapters:00:00:00 - Intro00:03:18 - Canadian Jeopardy00:17:48 - Halloween Interview00:23:54 - Childhood Realizations00:44:13 - Looking Back00:49:56 - The Primordial Podcast00:54:54 - Outro

Hey everyone, welcome back to Stop the Bit! This week we take a trip to the Severed Floor to check in on our innies and... let's just say they've been getting fed some pretty crazy information down there (like, deeply concerning). After we leave the Severed Floor, we take a look at some podcasts that probably shouldn't be podcasts—like a little kid food review show, a rap enthusiast podcast that doesn't know what good music really is, and a conspiracy theorist with some of the world's worst conspiracies... Overall, it's a great show and we hope you enjoy! Follow the show! | Follow Ryan! | Follow Ben!

Welcome back to Stop the Bit! This week we have the most INSANE guest ever... the one and only Luigi! We get his first ever video statement from jail since he was, according to him, wrongfully accused. However, we have exclusive evidence to show that might not be the case... After his visitation time is up, we go back to our regularly scheduled program with a round of the fan favorite segment, Chum Shots. And we also take a look at podcasts over the years that have aged extremely poorly...Follow the show! Follow Ryan!Follow Ben!

Welcome back to Stop the Bit! Today we have an incredibly special episode for you all. We have Matt and Sven from Cool Guyz Online with us in the studio!

Welcome back to Stop the Bit! This episode starts off kind of intense... We start off by introducing you all to our wonderful new intern, Zack, but things go south very quickly... To the point where there's a major meltdown. The kind you only hear about in the horror stories of Hollywood. The rest of the podcast is smooth sailing though! We talk about our vices, our insecurities, we take a trip to the dollar movie bin again, and we sit down with legendary rockstar, Paul McCartney!Follow the show! https://www.instagram.com/stopthebitshow/Follow Ryan! https://www.instagram.com/ryantheleader/Follow Ben! https://www.instagram.com/benniball/

This week we have another fun episode for you with one of our favorite bits so far! The boys go over old renaissance paintings and try to interpret/give new life to them. Like REALLY get into character and try to experience what these people were going through in that moment. We also have a surprise guest that stops in from the great state of New Jersey! He tells us all about the good, the bad, and the ugly of living there - as well as making some political statements that the people of New Jersey believe in...Follow Ryan! | Follow Ben!

This is probably the most historic moment to happen on any show ever... Elon Musk, owner of Tesla and Space X, and now leader of DOGE, actually called into our show. He wanted to talk shop with us and get our opinions on some plans he has for the country, and trust us... they're HUGE. This was a once in a lifetime thing that we're still in shock happened.Follow Ryan!https://www.instagram.com/ryantheleader/Follow Ben!https://www.instagram.com/benniball/

Welcome back to Stop the Bit! We have a very special episode today because we have an incredible guest, Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad is in the house! He's been going through a lot, and so we thought it'd be important to show him all the good there is in the world—through #Hopecore videos. Also, remember those wacky radio shows we all grew up listening to? Yeah, so do we, and we dive into all the craziness with our own show—and even have some live callers!Follow Ryan!https://www.instagram.com/ryantheleader/Follow Ben!https://www.instagram.com/benniball/

Hey everyone! Welcome back to another episode of Stop the Bit! This week we kick off the show with a new, topical segment, Matt's News! He delivers us the news in bite sized, digestible pieces that really seem targeted and specific to you and your interests. But he's not the only guest appearance this episode! We also have an exclusive interview with a guy that just got here... like literally born into existence live on the show... you can't make this stuff up. There's some talking in between, yada yada yada, Ben tells us about his super cool, totally not embarrassing or cancelable in any way, trip to Africa. All in all it's a great episode and we hope you enjoy! Follow Ryan! https://www.instagram.com/ryantheleader/ Follow Ben! https://www.instagram.com/benniball/

Welcome back to Stop the Bit! We have a really special episode in store for you today because we have a special cohost joining in the studio today, Brian! Brian is an intellectual, in this episode he talks about politics, relations, and people's deepest darkest desires. Then Ryan comes back to take over hosting and the boys talk about life and all the things that make it freaking rule. Things take a weird turn at a dingleberry skit that goes on for too long, and to round it out the boys do a hilarious bit of what it's like running into your hometown friends (things get awkward to say the least). Enjoy!Follow Ryan!https://www.instagram.com/ryantheleader/Follow Ben!https://www.instagram.com/benniball/

Welcome back to Stop the Bit! This week things kick off with a cold open "Podcasts that Shouldn't Be a Podcast" segment where viral internet star, Balloon Boy, interviews renowned physicist, Graham Maxwell. Then we dive into the world of true crime starting with the infamous, Drive-Thru Killer! But there's something about the hosts that doesn't exactly scream "True Crime Podcasters." Then to round out the show, Ryan and Ben play a pretty dicey game of DnD in real life!Follow Ryan!https://www.instagram.com/ryantheleader/Follow Ben!https://www.instagram.com/benniball/

Hey everyone! Today we have a very politically charged episode for you, talking about Cancel Culture and why you should cancel everything. The guys also talk their future kids' names, their favorite hobbies like Perineum Sunning, AND they try their hands at a new Famous by Force segment where they dive into the ~paranormal~Follow Ryan!https://www.instagram.com/ryantheleader/Follow Ben!https://www.instagram.com/benniball/

Happy first week of the New Year! If you're anything like us you've already given up on those outrageous goals you set for yourself every year. For now, forget about that and enjoy the episode today. We've got a visit from a philosophical pool boy, the history of Sonic the Hedgehog, maybe the worst name for a real life entrepreneur, AND we take a trip down the dollar movie bin! It's a jam-packed episode for what's going to be a jam-packed year and we hope you enjoy!Follow Ryan!https://www.instagram.com/ryantheleader/Follow Ben!https://www.instagram.com/benniball/

Happy New Year everyone! This week in preparation for the new year Ryan and Ben obviously talk about all of their new year's resolutions and the big plans they have that probably aren't going to get done, but they also get ahead of a few things... In another segment of Chumshots they beat the heat and clear the air about some pretty outrageous allegations against them just so they can start off the new year with a clean slate. On top of that they also review some podcasts that definitely should NOT be podcasts... This episode is a great way to start the new year so sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!Follow Ryan!https://www.instagram.com/ryantheleader/Follow Ben!https://www.instagram.com/benniball/

Happy Holidays, everyone! This week, the boys go over everything Christmas—from their favorite movies to their favorite reindeer, what they want for Christmas, and even... exposing Santa's North Pole Sweatshop?? It makes sense. I mean, how else would the elves make all those toys so fast? They even got live footage from inside the sweatshop; so stay tuned to see the worst working conditions imaginable...Follow Ryan!https://www.instagram.com/ryantheleader/Follow Ben!https://www.instagram.com/benniball/

Welcome back to Stop the Bit! This week we've got another fun episode for you all where we un pack the wildest conspiracies out there like Genghis Khan, is he still alive?? Could Target Super centers have a more devious purpose than just being great shopping centers?! You'll just have to find out... Also we play DnD in real life which goes off the rails FAST, and last but not least we get into some childhood trauma... Needless to say, this is a great episode!Follow Ryan!https://www.instagram.com/ryantheleader/Follow Ben!https://www.instagram.com/benniball/

Hey and welcome to the first episode of Stop the Bit with Ryan and Ben! This isn’t just any new podcast,;we’re putting our own spin on things and making it much more of a skit based/variety show.
