“Would you eat a smoked meatloaf from a nude campground?”
That’s just one of the many unforgettable questions raised in this laugh-packed, meat-sweat-inducing episode of The Ben and Skin Show as Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive headfirst into the freshly dropped Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ Joints list.From Goldie’s on Dick Price Road to Smokey Joe’s off RL Thornton, the crew dishes out hot takes, hilarious tangents, and a few questionable Urban Dictionary searches. Whether it’s debating the pronunciation of “pork loin,” fantasizing about decadent beef belly burnt ends, or pitching a screenplay titled Dick Price is Right, this episode is a full-course meal of comedy, culture, and carnivorous cravings.🔥 Key Highlights:
  • KT’s screenplay idea: “Dick Price is Right” – a game show-meets-life story about a man who’s always right.
  • The team’s reaction to Sloppy Juan Tacos—“Don’t look that up on Urban Dictionary… okay, maybe do.”
  • Skin’s love letter to Hutchins BBQ and the mystery of the Texas Twinkie.
  • A deep philosophical moment: “Eating a bunch of barbecue and getting fat, then taking my clothes off in the woods… where mosquitoes can bite your junk.”
  • The crew’s confusion over how many days are in May—“Thirty days had September… wait, what?”
This episode is a smoky, spicy, side-splitting ride through the best BBQ joints in Texas, with plenty of detours into absurdity, nostalgia, and pure radio gold.

toomb inw you made the top ten. Number seven was
danes Craft Barbecue and Alito. Number three was Goldies out
