Ben chatted with Yoho often.

At one point, they talked about a gun safety program that Yoho had proposed.

Ben brought some gifts to the taping, including child-shaped Target cutouts.

Did you ever see the documentary Free Solo?

I have a very low threshold for fear.

other people being embarrassed, whatever the scenario is.

And I wonder, like, are you feeling the same thing on the other side, but you're just keeping it going because you're so committed to the bit?

Or are you like free solo guy and you just have a much higher threshold for making people uncomfortable?

Ben Palmer has had several comedy videos that have gotten millions of views across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.

But when he created a fake immigration tip line back in February and started posting videos like the one you heard at the beginning of this episode, I don't know how many of them are actually illegal.

he got a whole new level of attention.

This video has racked up more than 1 million views on YouTube since Ben posted it in early February, and more than 22 million views on TikTok.

Since starting his second term, President Trump has promised to target more than 10 million migrants unauthorized to live in the United States.

The number of people jailed in immigration detention centers is at an all-time high, including some U.S.

citizens and more than 11,000 parents of kids who are U.S.

citizens.

Have you had any breakthroughs with any of the callers in real time or more so just people watching these?

I wonder what if you have sort of ethical guardrails that you follow, whether it's something like the immigration tip line or any of your bits.

Are there are there lines for yourself that you won't cross to get a laugh?

The way that the tip line has been covered or it seems like a lot of the reaction to it originally was that this was this act of resistance, maybe even more so than it is a joke or a bit.
