"If you saw a monkey with herpes running across the highway, would you shoot it or try to save it?"That’s just one of the many outrageous questions tackled in this unforgettable episode of The Ben and Skin Show, recorded live from Rollertown Beerworks in Frisco, Texas. Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive headfirst into the bizarre and hilarious headlines sweeping across North Texas — from the saga of the escaped lab monkeys in Jasper County, to a late-night dumpster diving encounter that ended with a police officer shooting a dog.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Coming up in about ten minutes. How bad is this,
Quinn Williams trade for the Cowboys? How bad is this?
Let's do a deep dive in this thing. I don't
think it's good. We'll talk about it, but right now
it's time for this.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Welcome the Wild Light Dude, The Wildlfe Dude.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Monday, we were doing our show at the Rollertown Beer
Works in Frisco, Texas. We left you with the news
that we were down to two missing herpes COVID hepsee
monkeys and Jasper County, Mississippi's right. I can now update
you one more time here of the two remaining, another
(00:44):
one was shot.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Shooting these monkeys. You have to, dude, just so you
don't get herpes.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
I think so, oh, always shoot something instead of getting
herpes from it.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Someone saw it crossing a highway about a mile from
where that truck was. Authority say people still should not
approach these monkeys that they see them, because they are
known to be aggressive.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
Meanwhile, I don't have sex with it. That's what the
police are saying.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
The two Lane scientists who had these monkeys in the lab,
they're like, they're not aggressive. I don't know what the
cops are talking about.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
Well, if they get syphilis, it'll change them.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
So over the weekend, a woman shot and killed one.
This was the story from Monday. She caught shot and
killed one because their son saw it. Run outside. I
shot a monkey, but the other one again was killed.
Looks like yesterday. No, it was Monday evening during the
Cowboys game. You know it is. When the Cowboys went
forward on that fourth and four. Meanwhile, right as Dack
dropped back to pass and miss ceedee Lamb, when ceedee
(01:42):
Lamb jumped too early for that pass, bam, we got
one monkey left. So we'll follow up on that whenever
it's time.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
I know it's hindsight, but wouldn't y'all have gone for
the field goal there?
Speaker 3 (01:53):
No, I I can't hindsight with this defense, and you
have to just you have just you know, I'm sticking
to my guns what I said that the punter doesn't
have to show up to work.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
Yeah. I wouldn't punt on the four yard line.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
I know are oh you know it the first one
or when it was twenty seven to ten, the first one,
the first.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
One, what if you could pin him on the one though,
perfect slice right out of boat put straight up in
the air.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Underneath this devents are gonna get a safety every time.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
God, I would be the biggest cowboy fan forever if
they tried that this year.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
They're reverse of the guy who never punts the guy
who always does.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
That's the Steve Martin joke. Oh I'd like to punt
on first down.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Uh. We have a story in Arlington when North Texas
police officer shoots a dog while on duty.
Speaker 6 (02:44):
God, Christina, I don't like shooting animals, Like I feel
bad for that kid earlier that I mean hope, I'm
hoping he didn't see his mom shoot that monkey. Oh
yeah he was, But seeing the mark and then knowing
that it got shot, like, that's traumatizing.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
I think that if you shoot a monkey, you're a
pretty good shot.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Well, this story is a little wild because Okay, this
is Tuesday morning. About twelve fifty AM. Officers approached a
van that was parked near a large dumpster. They spoke
with a man sitting in the passenger seat of the
dumpster of the van, and then he told the officers
that he and his friend were dumpster diving. M they
(03:25):
for dumpster diving?
Speaker 5 (03:26):
Is that like going hogging.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I think, well, it's still scraps either way. I guess
that you're gonna right.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
Me and my buddy went dumpster diving because we'd been
in a slump. Why is that a thing?
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Why is that a thing? Wasn't that in there an
old story about that ending of a losing street did.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
They pointed across the street and sent Napoli to go
break the curse? And then you fast forward five years
later and it's five in the morning and he's walking
shirtless in an empty street in Boston.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
It's amazing. So one of the officers is walking over
to the dumpster to talk to the guy who's in
the dumpster doing the dumpster diving, and then a dog
starts running at him in the dumpster and no, like
towards him. He's like standing by the dumpster talking to
the guy. He's in the dumpsters. It's one am. It's
normal Arlington activity. The dog comes barking at him and
(04:27):
it starts barking a few times. Then the police bim
fired and multiple times killed the dog.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Okay, but dude, how do they know what the dog's
intent was? Like, that's like my dog, you know, it's
a tiny cute dog, puppy looking dog, perma puppy, tiny dog.
If it starts barking, it's not really going to do
anything to do it is just like a huge pit
bull with a criminal record.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
You're thinking it. You're thinking like, look, it's wrong, like
in your head, your profile, your dog profiling, what type
of dog it is, because you're definitely not going that
was a Golden Retriever that was running at him. Dy'll
end ug going no, that was definitely a pit bull.
They'll end up doing some character witness stuff with other dogs.
Why was this dog on the loose and a dump dog?
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Oh oh no, he.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Was gonna save them, so yeah that it was like,
oh god, that sucks.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
It was an emotional distressed support dog. What kind of
a dog was it?
Speaker 3 (05:22):
We don't know. They're investigating to find out. I mean
they'll know that. They're investigating to find out if the
officer violated protocol. There stray dog runs at you.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Man, if it's an alley one am, big giant dog angry.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
What are you just gonna let it eat you?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
It's dark outside, can't see anything.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
You don't know if it's been on drugs, all right,
you don't know if it's carrying a small, tiny switchblade. Yep,
all right, there you have it. That is wildlife news.
