What happens when a 14-year-old brings a bottle of mustard, sand, and bleach onto a school bus? That’s the question that kicks off this wild, hilarious, and slightly terrifying episode of The Ben and Skin Show—and it only gets more chaotic from there.Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray—as they dive into the bizarre headlines of the day, led by KT’s “Finishing Sweet Day Update.” From a student’s “mystery concoction” that lands kids in the hospital, to a scooter gang of preteens wreaking havoc in Ben’s neighborhood, this episode is a rollercoaster of absurdity, social commentary, and laugh-out-loud moments.🎙️ Key Moments & Themes:
  • KT’s “cheerful” news update that includes eye-irritating bleach, school bus chaos, and a baby bottle turned weapon.
  • A deep (and hilarious) discussion on modern parenting, TikTok distractions, and the rise of juvenile scooter mobs.
  • Ben’s firsthand account of Lord of the Flies-style anarchy in his neighborhood, complete with water balloon assaults and iPhone destruction.
  • A philosophical debate on whether convenience culture is ruining parenting—or if society is just spiraling.
💬 Most Quotable Moments:
  • “That’s what happens when mom never looks up from TikTok.”
  • “Can’t you just yell ‘I feel threatened’ and shoot everybody?” (Followed by a chorus of “No!”)
  • “The most terrifying thing? Three teenage boys just walking somewhere.”
  • “It’s like Lord of the Flies over there.”
This episode is a perfect blend of dark comedy, real-world absurdity, and the kind of unfiltered banter that only Ben, Skin, KT, and Krystina can deliver. Whether you’re a parent, a news junkie, or just someone who enjoys a good laugh at the madness of modern life, this one’s for you.

important stories he's currently tracking from around the world.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
Before we get to today's lead story, I want to

Fort Worth. High speed Grand Prairie police chase leads one woman,

Are you bringing us some cheer in sunshine?

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Absolutely been fourteen year old on a bus in Arlington today.

Speaker 4 (01:12):
I don't think this is gonna end up well.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
Through a bottle containing an unknown substance at multiple students.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
Okay, this is the cheer you were promising.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
Thirty seconds best of what's around.

Speaker 4 (01:27):
Could have done at George went tribute.

Speaker 5 (01:29):
Is this a kid who is being bullied and fighting
back or is this a bully that's taking it to
everyone else?

Speaker 3 (01:35):
You know, I don't know that yet.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
What's your instinct? Get some.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
There had to be a reason, this news reporter's instinct
says he deserved.

Speaker 4 (01:45):
It had to be a reason. Now, some teenagers just
do stupid things.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
To do stupid.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
Things, right, boy?

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Tell the story of Bernard Dentson releasing the emergency break
of the school bus in front in front of the
planetarium that I tell once every eighteen months.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
I wonder what ever happened Old Bernard.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Man, I would say, I feel like I've heard that
story in eighteen months. This kid is fourteen, he's expected
to be arrested for assault.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
Here's what happened, though.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
Arlington police are saying that the student claimed that the
concoction in the bottle was water, mustard, and sand pretty harmless.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
What a terrible mixture.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
But they did some testing and they did find out
that there was some bleach in the bleach bottle.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
Yeah, there's some leftover bleach in the bleach bottle.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
He tried to acid dup a bunch of kids. Some
students were taking the hospital for eye irritation up to five.
So fourteen year old student can get arrested for an
aggravated salt.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
For a bottle, for a baby bottle.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
Sounds crazy.

Speaker 4 (02:47):
You make some wild concoctions. That's not fun.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
No.

Speaker 5 (02:52):
I do wonder about the parents here, like did you
not notice your kid was taking a giant Clorox bottle
full of mustard and sand and stuff to the school bus.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
That's what happens when mom never looks up from TikTok man.
There are there This is going on in my neighborhood
right now. There are little kids on scooters terrorizing people,
like what chasing them like like for instance, uh, like
going up to people telling them hey, holding their phone
up to their phone and saying I just stole all

(03:24):
your information and messing with them and then uh, and
when the people are like, hey man, what do you
guys do? Like coming over in like a mob, like
a mob of like twelve kids on scooters, being belligerent
and rude.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
And then acting like they're stealing.

Speaker 5 (03:37):
And then when these people are like, hey man, you
can't do that, they slapped the phone out of their
hand and broke somebody's iPhone.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
That was one case.

Speaker 5 (03:44):
Another one was the lady was with her kiddo who
a small, like a like like a four or five
year old, and the bigger kids came by and started
hitting the kid in the head with water balloons like violently,
like like that, like it's just a mob of kids.
And I've seen a couple of these stories posted once,
and I'm like, where are the parents?

Speaker 4 (04:03):
And get these kids in juvie.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
I guarantee parents for most So there's going to be
a ringleader and that parent's kids probably the biggest bully
a hole. Yeah, and then he just goes and bullies
his friends and convinces them to do it.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
It's a larger, really discussion too, and I think I
think everyone's just getting lazier because things that they're just
easier to us. Since the phones have become a part
of our life, everything has been made easier for us.
I think that convenience has made parents be worse. And
I say that as someone who's never had a kid,
or the parents are working like two three jobs because
everything is insanely expensive.

Speaker 4 (04:36):
You don't have time to take care of their kid.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
You can, can't you good? Can't you just yell I
feel threatened and shoot everybody?

Speaker 3 (04:43):
No?

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Okay, I saw the news one time, and I know
I didn't know what I was watching.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
Jeez, I just do that all the time.

Speaker 4 (04:53):
You started spinning around with a Tommy gun.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
Right now now speaking, I will say, the most dangerous
thing to me, or most terrifying thing is you know
three or four teenage boys just walking somewhere like, oh god,
that's not a good.

Speaker 5 (05:08):
Because you know, the decision making possibilities there are all bad.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
Tonight.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
We do learn the third fourteen year old boy that
will fight John Mullaney, right, So now report back on
that tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (05:22):
After these stories, I kind of wanted to kick their asses.
Oh he didn't have a chance.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Did he say, I feel threatened and shoot them? We'll see, Yeah,
I guess you can do it live on Netflix. Will
he do it live? That's a really good news report.
Everybody give it up for Kevin Job. He promised us
a cheerful news story and we got that. And then
we went to the front lines of Ben's neighborhood where
there's it's like Lord of the Flies over there. All right,

(05:47):
It's the Bend and Skin Show ninety seven point one.

Speaker 4 (05:49):
