Description

This week on It’s Ben A Week, Ben is joined by his new bestie Domenica Albero, fresh from a Northern California “camping” trip that was less sleeping bags, more fairytale chaos.

What started as a Lake Tahoe getaway (complete with a bear under the deck charging at Ben) turned into a full-blown fantasy vacation with castles, rivers, nightly theme parties, and… golf cart near-death experiences.

They break down:

• Why every night ended with them on a pool table performing Wicked like it was the Tonys
• Ben’s golf cart trauma (dragged, bruised, and nearly dead)
• Bear shit, hidden brooms, and a house literally called “Bear House”
• Massages that felt more like CrossFit 
• Living off brie cheese wheels, jalapeño chips, and stolen ice cream — like full-on kitchen gremlins
• Tits and toddlers: the most chaotic morning outfit ever
• Theme nights: prom, cowboy, “gypsy,” and why Domenica was always topless by midnight
• The group therapy moment: highs & ha-ha’s that always came back to them
• Ben’s ripped pants, Domenica’s missing nails, and why the staff probably thought they had a rat infestation

The chaos continues in the aftershow as they spiral into Netflix’s Unknown Number: High School Catfish, the catfishing mom who traumatized her daughter, and why Ben & Domenica think they need to step up their petty game.
