"What would you do if someone was bleeding out in front of you—scream, freeze, or suck the venom out of their butt?"In this wildly unpredictable and laugh-out-loud episode of The Ben and Skin Show, hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray take listeners on a rollercoaster of real-life danger, absurd hypotheticals, and international chaos.The show kicks off with a harrowing story of a Prosper, Texas man who was struck by a boat while snorkeling in The Bahamas—a terrifying “boat and run” incident that left him severely injured. But thanks to two heroic strangers (who just happened to be nurses), he survived. The crew breaks down the story with empathy, curiosity, and, of course, a healthy dose of humor.Then things take a sharp turn into the ridiculous as Skin introduces the gang to “Mario Kart in Vietnam”—a real-life, no-waiver, downhill go-kart death trap that has the crew both horrified and intrigued.

What's going on in Dallas.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
I should want to hear the song because this actually
takes place out of the country, but it involves ben
a prosper family. NBC five has the details on this
wild story.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
One North Texas family is hanging on to hope after
a dream.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
First of all, Vince Sims of NBC five always sounds like,
check your panties.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Oh yeah, check your pennies. Okay, now I got a
look up. So what he looks like? Why don't you
just play that drop before you have him talk?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Also, he he tweeted me because I saw some picture
from some Galla broadcasters and I was like, where's my invite?
All but her like Dale Hansen was there and it
was a whole bunch of like older types had been
in the media for a long time.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Thank you, and he.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Goes, We'd love to have you next time. That's called
me out here.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
One North Texas family is hanging on to hope after
a dream vacation gone wrong. Brent Slaw is suffering from
severe injuries after being hit by a boat in the Bahamas.
NBC five Sahara ra mons boat to him as it
recovers in the hospital.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
On their first date, Brent jumped right into the crystal
blue waters for snorkel. Then all of a sudden, I
got hit by something and I felt like two thumps.
When he surfaced, he saw this boat speeding away and
my lives didn't really were The propeller just really sliced
him along the buttocks in the legs area. Strangers joined
his seventeen year old daughter to jump in and help Gully.
(01:40):
We were all outside to know to get in the
water to help him, because if we wouldn't have been,
he would have died.
Speaker 6 (01:46):
They left him there to die.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
Another miracle. Two of the strangers were nurses who knew
how to stop the bleeding, strapping him onto a chair
and then onto a truck to the hospital. Whitney frantically
finding an air ambulance to take them to Miami for
critical treatment.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
We've reached out to the police and the Bahamas for
an update on if the boater is responsible for Brent's
injuries have been caught. We have not heard back yet.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
I wonder how good the Bahamas law forces.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Yeah, boat and run, you don't see this much.
Speaker 6 (02:14):
Yeah, it's you know, we just got back from going
on a vacation and you know, to a beach area,
and you know, they have roped off areas where you're
supposed to stay if you're going to be swimming, And
that's because there's so much boat activity everywhere, and man,
if you're you know when you're out there. We went snorkeling.
(02:34):
At one point, I was like, man, this, we're just
in the middle of this place, snorkeling. And so if
you get away from the boat a little bit, another
boat comes in the area. I don't think my guess
would be whoever hit him? When that boat didn't say, hey,
look there's a person, let's run him over. They just
never saw him.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
And then probably maybe when they did realize what happened,
like oh my god, get out of here.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
I don't know that they would have even known. I mean,
it's just so loud, you know.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
All right, it's id and bumpy.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Have you have you.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Guys, was talking about danger and non vacation. Have you
guys ever seen the Mario kart in Vietnam?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
No, all right.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Let's do this in real time. Pull up. I just
sent you guys a text. Okay, this is the wackiest
thing I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 7 (03:16):
Oh if it's Mario Kart. I'm probably gonna like it.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
It's human Mario Kart. But just watch this. In fact,
if you want, whoever's watching it can describe it as
what they're what they're watching.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Oh I seen this.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
Okay, it's not Oh my god, this is actually God,
this is so dangerous.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (03:35):
So people are going down it looks like a slide.
They're in little like go kart things, but they are
slamming into walls, falling out of their cars. Oh my god,
it's amazing.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
There's a guy that went over the side of the
rail and went tumbling with his cart into a rock ravine. Yeah,
rock ravine.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Okay, I would do that, though.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Someone in that's it looks like the most dangerous thing
I've ever seen. That's just like a casual fun thing, right,
And someone in the comments is like, gow, that's got
to be the longest waiver to sign. Ever's like, there
ain't no waivers in this part of the world. Man,
it's a free for all. Hey man, getting this cart,
hope you live, will take your twenty dollars, good luck,
(04:16):
have fun.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (04:19):
I wonder how many people break bones on that right,
Like you can break a leg and.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
What about your face smashing into a sign that's hanging down.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Yeah, and you don't when you hit the coins. You
don't get the power ups and get to throw bananas
and turtle shells at the people in front of you either.
So maybe it's not as fun as you think. When
you're getting in you're imagining all that stuff that happened.
I was also thinking about this, though, how lucky they
were that two of the witnesses there knew how to
stop the bleed.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Guys, if there were a traumatic event outside, maybe we're
going down to the parking gage and we see someone
there bleeding out, who would step up and go stop
the bleeding? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (04:52):
I think you what you always try to do is
suck out the poison. Yeah, that's all we know how
to do.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Yeah, I go right to where that injury is on
the button, I send sucking the bad amount. One of
us would have done that, the other would have done
mouth to mouth, Yeah, because you got to get in.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
There and just clear everything out with your tongue.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
When you walk up and a couple of radio hosts,
one guy's doing mouth to mouth and the other guy's
sucking venom out of the other guy's flesh wound on
his butt. You walk up to that scene, that's that's
something wild.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
Yeah, we're prepared, Yeah, prepared for that.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Those guys must be Voye scouts.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
Christina is like, never get hurt around this.
Speaker 7 (05:24):
I call golden the media.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
I think you pour gasoline around the whole area.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
