Fill My Hole & Cram My Crack: The War On Potholes

In this laugh-out-loud episode of The Ben and Skin Show, Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray—tackle one of America’s most pressing issues: potholes. But of course, they do it in the most ridiculous, off-the-rails way possible.The “Fill My Hole” Campaign: Straight out of Pennsylvania, this real-life pothole-fixing initiative has the crew in stitches. KT can’t stop saying it. Krystina drops the music. Skin tries to keep it together. And Ben? He’s just trying to avoid blowing out a tire.Cram My Crack vs. Fill My Hole: The team brainstorms better (or worse?) names for the campaign. “Cram My Crack” might just be the winner. The crew gets real about how brutal the DFW roads are, with Skin describing a drive through South Dallas as “like being on a roller coaster.” KT proposes launching a local version of the campaign—urgently.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Give me that moves quickie.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Yeah, I mean the other one for you here, well, uh,
go to Pennsylvania for this one. They got a big
problem with potholes like we have here as well. I
mean I saw a huge pothole the other day and
then a couple days later on the next door app,
someone's like, man, my tire got blown up in that pothole,
and they described I was like, it's the one I

(00:22):
was warning everyone about. I didn't put up a sign
I should have. The point of it is, potholes are
a big problem, but you have to report them or
they're not going to get filled. So in Pennsylvania they've
started a new initiative.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Called fill my Hole. Great work, Christina. He dropped the
music and marked it all holes. Just moving on now?
Who is phil feel excuse me, miss.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
So they thought this would be a way to They
thought this would be a way to get out out,
you know, some publicity for their pothole problem.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
Which they are because Kevin's reporting it in Dallas, Texas.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Yes see.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
You go, you download this app and you tell them
where the pothole was, and now their city officials know
where the pothole is and they can go fill it.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
But man, trying to.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Find someone in Millersburg, Pennsylvania that'll do a news story
on this has been difficult, so difficult that I don't
have one. So is there any way we can lighten
how this campaign sounds? Fill my hole?

Speaker 1 (01:31):
I think there's better ways. I think cram the crack
is way better. Oh yeah, dude, you're a genius. Excuse me.
I tried to talk over it to hide it, but
it came back. Probably heard that one. Yeah, I don't
know why I asked it was. Excuse me.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
I think I think this is helpful. Potholes are a problem.
We deal with it more than they do in Pennsylvania.
I'm gearing.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Damn. Te you that heat? Because of the heat? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:01):
I was because fissures earlier.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
It's not anal fissures earlier.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
I was leaving or last night, I was leaving where
the podcast was over there in South Dallas, and I
was just driving down the street and it was like
being on a roller coaster. I mean, it's just there's
some of these streets that have been neglected and the
Texas heat just brutalizes it.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
And man, it is it can't be good on your car.
So are you going to start to fill my whole
thing here for difft I like his cram my crack,
my crack I even work. Yeah that's great. I think
it works pretty good.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
But if you know, if that's too crass, fine, we'll
go with fill my hole.

Speaker 5 (02:41):
You should probably wait till July at least, you.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Know, clog my crevice. What's July?

Speaker 5 (02:49):
It's prime month, so people might be confused.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
No, we're not waiting around for these potholes. Okay, all holes,
No waiting. I can't wait. Need it now, field, I
need it filled now. I need my whole field.

Speaker 5 (03:03):
Now there you go.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
