They did give us yesterday as a free day for a reason, I couldn't make myself move from my hammock and my coconut water all day long, had the best nap of my life it felt like. How is Bora Bora treating you so far? Have you completely lazy out or are you a better person than I am and already got a head start on the cool stuff they have in store for us? @bensonofinfamy

what an absolute mood. i pretty much alternated between laying on a floaty in the ocean and laying on the dock sunbathing. my social battery was at a zero and needed to decompress. i was flying in straight from a European tour, so i had no energy for anything at all. did you come straight from a race? your schedule is pretty jam-packed, so no wonder you also needed a day to just rot. feeling ready for all the adventures now?

Fashion king? I like that, though I'm not sure I'm at fashion king level yet, but I'll take it. And we've not talked in a while, but hey, I understand you're busy, and I've seen you've been all over the place. You're in Europe right now, right? I've been laying pretty low lately, spending my time with a couple people and having some fun, that's about it. Sounds boring, doesn't it? But I did just finish a project with Luca Guadagnino that I'm really excited about! Can't believe I was lucky enough to work with someone so amazing, honestly. And oh, I feel like I slayed Halloween. I had a few different costumes, all drag and all amazing. Not to toot my own horn or anything. Since you were on the road, what did you end up doing for Halloween?

it's my name for you in my phone book, so you just gotta embrace it. pfft, you're always immaculately put together, so don't give me any of that. yeah, currently in London. still got quite a few gigs left before the year is over and i'm hoping i can kick this bug i've got asap. nah, taking care of yourself and resting up is never boring. especially not in your line of work. you worked with Luca? damn, that's huge. he's such a big name. what was the project? what was your fave fit you wore this Halloween? i haven't seen any photos of you in costume and i'm worse for it. i was pretty sick at my Halloween gig, so just put on my Grammy jumpsuit and then did a Gladiator costume for funsies. that was the extent of my celebrations. spent the rest of the night in bed with a slight fever, good times.

oh, you do know how to make a guy feel special. now i'm definitely coming. alright alright, i got you, man. oh please, those people don't know what they're talking about. they're just jealous that they don't have an angelic voice like yours and hit those high notes perfectly. it is from a great movie and i'm sure lots of people can sing along. but hey, i just read that you had to cancel a show because of some voice troubles. you alright? drink enough hot tea with honey, it really helps. must be tough to not be able to talk as much now. private: she's very lovely and insanely talented. i got to see her in evita and then do her own show in london and damn, she's so good. i feel honoured that she wants to keep hanging out with me. big title you just gave us. we just met one day and there was this instant connection. i don't know. i think it could be, from my side. not sure how she feels about it. i also don't want to ruin the friendship that we've developped.

i hope so, since last night was my first London gig. still under the weather and on vocal rest but wasn't a terrible show. hopefully the other two will be even better. hush now, you're going to make me blush and no one wants that. i didn't get to do a cover at all for my Halloween gig since my voice gave out, but next year...taking both of your suggestions and going with it. will i be on tour next year? who knows, but i'm still doing those covers. are you in London now?

From the biggest reason onward, thank you. You've got me curious about the list now, especially if there are a lot of reasons to like me. I just looked up the date for that NASA gig, and I should be able to come to that. I think I should be done with promo by then. I'll make it my goal to be there anyway. I like that you think me shirtless and in a cowboy hat will get so many views. That's very true, I feel no reason to feel shame, and shocking people tickles me. It's cute when you blush from head to toe, though, I'll give you that. It was great getting to celebrate a few days later, and we had a lot of fun, that's all that matters to me. I've been loving being on tour with you, it's been a nice break from all the craziness that I've normally got going on. Plus, I really wanted to come. The hot sex is only partly why? I can't even tease, because being around is a lot of fun to me too, and the sex is only part of the reason for me as well. I don't look a day over 35? Thanks for that, babe, you really know how to make a man feel good.

i'll be sure to give you the list as soon as i'm not on vocal rest. it's going to take awhile and can't rest straining my voice now. you are? that's great, because i really do want you there for it. after i get that over and done with, i can come to whatever promo thing you've got and show my support. i'm glad you like the blushing, because i'm not sure if that is every going away. i'm glad you had fun, because i always want to celebrate you. you deserve it, you've been so good to me. while the sex was a big reason why i wanted you here, it's definitely not the only reason. i've grown quite fond of you, Powell. life feels a lot better when you're here with me. you're forever hot, babes. no matter what age. you've always been a hottie but gotta say, really loving the hair and the swagger and confidence you've got now.

Yes, please. Now that I'm even older, I need to keep hearing those things you like about me. Well, the good thing is your tour will be almost done when I head to SNL, right? So I won't miss too much of it, at least. I have a feeling I'll be shirtless for at least one skit and probably have a cowboy hat on in one too. I mean, I'm rather fond of making you loud, so I'll own it being 75% my fault. Maybe one day you'll be as shameless as me, you never know! You did make up for being a tease when we were reunited, so thank you for that. Also, thank you for doing something special for my birthday. Even if it was a few days late, it was still pretty amazing, and I appreciated it. The dinner was good, you singing me happy birthday was nice after we got back to the hotel too. The sex was pretty solid as well, big fan of good birthday sex. And hey, don't feel bad. You're touring, and I understood we couldn't do anything on the actual day. Plus, I just turned 37, that's not even a milestone birthday.

do you want that list alphabetically or from the biggest reason onward? i'm very comfortable giving you that list, as there's a lot of reasons to like you. true, i'll be back in the states a few days afterwards and then i'm heading to Florida to rehearse for that NASA gig. think you can come to that? it's gonna be cool as shit, might be the dopest show i've ever played. shirtless and in a cowboy hat...that episode is going to get millions of views, a smash hit if you will. you're just naturally shameless and also love to shock people. me, i blush from head to toe, but i'm working on it. please, i would've loved to do it on your actual birthday but at least we made it work a few days later. i'm loving having you on tour with me and since you're a busy guy, it means a lot that you came. you didn't have to. it's been awesome having you around and the hot sex is only partly why. every birthday is a good reason to celebrate, old man. besides, you don't look a day over 35.

three sold out nights? man, that's amazing. does that mean i'll be a vip? you know how to make a guy feel special. count me in, i'll be there. hiding behind me? so that means i'll have to take all the scary parts? alright, but if it gets too scary and i faint, then you are going to have to soften the fall for me. oh would've been fun to have an actual halloween show. dress up and everything. uhm, well the ultimate halloween song is Thriller by MJ, which I think you'd ace. or maybe This Is Halloween from Nightmare Before Christmas. also a classic. private: it's rachel. been spending a lot of time with her. we were together at the festival and then i went to london to see her do a show as herself, which was amazing. i just really enjoy her company.

you're always a VIP to me, bud. i'll get you that lanyard which gets you all the goodies backstage. you're tall enough that you gotta protect me in case any scary monster wants to come attack. have to use your height for something beneficial xo. man, you really want the internet to run another hate train on me if you're suggesting i cover Michael Jackson. i've just managed to get people to lay off, i can't provoke them that bad. that other suggestion though, that's gold. i'll have to see if i can get sheet music to it and sell it to the team.

I'm going to change my Insta bio to "multitalented king," and it's all thanks to you. I think my next screenplay will be a comedy, this one is going to be more serious. It's about addiction and finding your way to sobriety through music. But yeah, you can read it when I'm finished. How did the charity gig go? And I bet getting to sleep in your bed after a tour is one of the best feelings. Especially when you've been sleeping on a cramped bus! Oh dude, Europe is going to go crazy for you, I already know it. Tomorrow works for me, and I'm all for being dragged away for an afternoon, especially if surfing is involved. We can surf and gossip, because I feel like gossiping with someone.

as you should because like they say, if the shoe fits, wear it. sounds like a really deep script, probably not the easiest to write either. can't wait to read it once you're done. how far along in the script are you now? i truly relished those couple of days in my own bed. when i finally get back from Europe, i'm not leaving for at least a solid week. gonna wrap myself up in the blanket like a burrito and watch all the tv i've missed this year. thanks for the surfing trip and for all the laughs last week. it was so fun seeing you and gossiping. we have to do it again in Bora Bora. how's your week been? been getting into any trouble since i left?

True, but sometimes a man needs a little confirmation. I will be hosting SNL; the only downfall of that is that's when I have to leave the tour with you. And don't worry, I'll let it be known that someone is out there hoping most of them involve shirtlessness, just in case they need inspiration for the sketches. Wait, to be fair, that night you had the conversation with your manager, I wasn't the only loud one, thank you. Also, we already know I wasn't embarrassed; I was smirking the whole time he talked to us. I'm just wrapping some things up, but I'm ready to go when you are, because I'm ready for you to be sweaty and wet with me. It has been too long, and I'm starting to get grumpy, and no one wants that. Jesus. You can't say shit like that, Benny, and then not be here to ride said cowboy. That's unfair.

i'll be sure to be vocal about all the things i like about you. it's gonna be a struggle to let you go, but since it's for such a good cause, i'll make due somehow. you know i won't be the only one wishing shirtlessness, the internet is with me on this one. something something you've got it, you should flaunt it and all that. hush you, if i was being too loud, it was at least 75% your fault, so we both own that. your shamelessness needs to be studied and i'm hella jelly about it. okay, but i made up for it when we were reunited so. since we didn't get to celebrate your birthday properly with all the traveling for tour, how about we do something fun tonight? i'll take you out to dinner and sing you happy birthday once we get back to the hotel. feel bad we didn't get to do anything on the 21st, so you have to let me make it up to you.
