In this riotous pre-holiday episode, Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina “K-Ray” Ray are all in-studio and fully unhinged as they kick off the long weekend with a chaotic blend of comedy, culture, and candid conversation. From the absurdity of “dude wipes” versus toilet paper to the surprisingly philosophical musings on Middle Eastern handshakes, no topic is too taboo—or too ridiculous.Plus, Tom Cruise Turns 63 and the crew dives into Cruise’s most critically acclaimed films, with hot takes on Mission: Impossible – Fallout, Top Gun: Maverick, and the underrated Collateral.

(01:24):
studio today and we have all hands on deck.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I'm Ben Rogers.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I'm joined by my close personal homeboy since nineteen eighty two,
growing up on the mean, mean streets of Richardson, Texas,
Jeff skin Wait, happy July third, everybody only Ben Poppins, Yes, man,
how's his taint?
Speaker 2 (01:44):

Speaker 3 (01:45):

Speaker 1 (01:54):
He poops?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
And populis right. I don't want to worry about his butt. Okay,
I don't want to think about it. I don't want
to worry about his other thing. I do like that
she's always thinking about his butt. Yeah that's what she said.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
But I do want to encourage everyone out there to
try to celebrate the fourth and in the way that
all Americans should by taking a blind taint test man,
Just put that thing right over your eyes and then
get your uh, you know, a big part of taste
is smell. Wow.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Also joining us today, Hold on, is that a good
thing that he just said or not? It's true. It's true.
It's true, it's true, And I would say.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
I immediately am thinking of the number one product that
we don't endorse that we should. Oh is it Wei wipes, grills,
due wipes, dude wipes or sick I got a great
relationship with them. It is not the copany I'm just
saying with the broad I mean, skin was saying it
for years, and I will just say, anyone out there
(03:00):
who is questionability of it, just take the test.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Take a blind taint test with one of those dude wipes.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
That is a blind taint test, and you will see,
like you you think there's gonna be not not a one,
not one mark, and you will surprise yourself. Christine, I
would like to encourage you to have Mike Siroy take
the blind taint test with dude wipes. Lineup dude wipes,
baby wipes, and toilet paper, no blindfold the person on
(03:28):
the toilet.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Okay, I think it's.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Toilet god, I think it's a I think it's toilet
paper versus dude wipes. I mean really, because for years,
you know, most of the country thought you were good
with just basic toilet paper, but you don't. You I
saw somebody talking about this. You would never wipe a
baby's butt with toilet paper, no, because you know it
(03:52):
wouldn't be clean. That baby, Like, So, why do you
think that would work on you?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I'm amazed at how far we've come in the last
like two hundred years, because you know, toilet paper has
probably been in like eighteen fifties, Like, really, what were
they really doing? How were they really getting that off
of them? Well, you know the whole thing in the
Middle East with the hand right, Okay, no do you no?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
No?
Speaker 3 (04:16):
No, no Google Google handshakes in the Middle East?
Speaker 1 (04:20):
And why what do you mean they do fist bumps
because of that? No, if you put out the wrong hand,
you because it was hand. Oh you're supposed to use
the stranger for the back door clean up. I mean
you don't have to sit on it first and cut
off all the circulation to it.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Man, Middle East handshakes just took me to a cease
fire deal with Causa.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
I really don't know current events is really with the
given me also joining us today? You just heard him there,
the pride Joy of only Texas, Kevin K. T. Turner.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I'm really excited about today's show on July third, Thursday. Yeah,
because I can since the Metroplex medling it into day
as well.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Dude, I sensed it yesterday and as many just because.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
There's a little rain. There's like a weird, weird vibe.
It's kind of cloudy today. But I like days like this,
and I've got a wonderful Doctor Phil story coming up.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Like, Also, what do you know it's better than a
you know, nationwide holiday on a Friday.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
There's only one thing better, nationwide holiday on a Monday,
no Thursday. Yeah, because you know nobody's working Friday. Oh
you just take it. People just take it.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
But like for Juneteenth, that happened. Uh yeah, not that
every company utilizes the June Teeth holiday like iHeart does.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Right, thank you? iHeart Karen. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Also joining us today the Pride and Joy of Crandall
Texas and one of the talented members of the popular
local Nirvana cover band Oatmeal Pizza Blanket.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Christina Krey, corn Bread red, a little bit of corn bread.
Ray you doing a little fun.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
That's heart dogging her corn bread. Hey, I forgot to
tell you last week. It was actually last Friday. I
pull up for the Cooper Flag press conference stuff and
the car I was directly behind SUV had a Crandall
High school logo sticker on the What were y'all called
the cram Downs.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
No crandle crandall pirates pirates? So was it the Texas?
Just the outline of Texas with a giant sea on it.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I took a don't call him a giant sea. I
took a picture of it. I'm gonna send it to you, guys.
I forgot that was our logo. So one of the
things on what the logo crandall logo. Yeah, one of
the things on Today's show is in the Today Game,
it's Tom Cruise's birthday. Uh, he is sixty three. For him,
it's hard to believe he's sixty three as good as
he looks. Senior citizen Cruise.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Oh yeah, he's like sixty seven. Sixty three senior citizen.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
No.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Sixty five is when you're eligible for art.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
But god, he looks really good for that, don't wouldn't
you agree even if you were a Tom Cruise hater,
he looks good and he looks at least fifty three.
In fairness, you're you're into like that whole community though,
that's kind of your So I was wondering. I was
thinking about doing this in the opening segment, just thinking
about my favorite Tom Cruise movies. I started looking at
(07:08):
Rotten Tomatoes, and I wanted to see what the best
critics scores were, and I was very surprised by what
I saw there. For him, Mission Impossible Fallout in twenty
eighteen is the most well received movie he's ever made
by critics. That was my favorite, Mission Impossible, number two,
Top Gun Maverick.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
You bet your ass.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
But then the last Samurai, there's another Mission Impossible, and
another mission impossible, and another mission impossible, and then Risky Business.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Risky Business is so good, dude.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
I'm like, how are those Mission Impossible movies more well received.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Stunts? I mean, I love all those movies, so I
don't have any problem with supporting that. He pops a
wheelie on his bike on one of them. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
And then the new one, which I think is the
second best Tom Cruise movie ever made, Tom Cruise, Mission
Impossible the final record, that's number two to Top Gun Maverick.
For me, It's only got eighty percent by Rotten Tomatoes, losing.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
It for critics. For audience, losing was good. This is
critics okay, so the pious ones.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I thought critics would have a higher score for Magnolia
or also is it called Collateral where he's the hit man.
Magnolia comes in at eighty two percent. I know, sixteen critics.
I only look at what the audience says, all right,
what they do for Collateral, because that movie's badass and
it's Michael Mann eighty six percent. Yeah, critics love Michael Mann. Yeah,
so so anyways, Happy birthday, Tom Cruise. Such a great guy,
(08:35):
true American hero. Coming up in just over three minutes.
Where are you going to take some thing? Skin is tracking.
There is an incredible thing happening this weekend, and if
you love the history of Dallas and Dallas music, you're
going to want to know about it.
