Would you trust your neighbor to fly a car at 18,000 feet?In this hilariously unhinged and surprisingly informative episode of The Ben and Skin Show, Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray—tackle the future of transportation, the anatomy of cartoon crushes, and the logistics of reverse hugs at BFD.
“Betty and Judy can both get it… together.”
It’s the kind of segment that makes you laugh, cringe, and question everything—all at once.
From retractable wings to $800,000 price tags, the gang explores the real-world implications of flying cars—and why your average driver probably shouldn’t be airborne.
- The Flying Car is (Almost) Here
The team breaks down the science behind Slovakia’s new “air car,” which transforms from a sports car into a plane in two minutes. But don’t get too excited—this isn’t your Jetsons hovercraft.
- Cartoon Confessions
Things get weird fast when the crew debates which Jetsons characters could “get it.”
“Betty and Judy can both get it… together.”
It’s the kind of segment that makes you laugh, cringe, and question everything—all at once.
- BFD Weekend Prep
Headed to BFD? The crew will be there in 97.1 The Eagle staff shirts.
From retractable wings to $800,000 price tags, the gang explores the real-world implications of flying cars—and why your average driver probably shouldn’t be airborne.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
And then Sunday is BFD.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
If you're out at either of these things and you
see us, please say hello. We'd love to meet you.
If you're going to BFD, you'll see us walking around.
We'll have these shirts that say ninety seven point one
the Eagle staff on the back.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
You know, obviously we're on radio, so you may not
know what any of us look like.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
If you see us there, you know, say hello.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Maybe walk up behind KT and give him a reverse
backwards hug.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Oh, he'd love that.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
And just so you know, I'm the giant, buff ripped guy. Yeah,
I'm the one who will be exploding out of my shirt,
my real tight fitting, muscular shirt. Are you guys gonna
wear socks in your underwear to impress people?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Like that's every day every day. I'm just gonna stick
to my routine.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Yeah, Christina, Uh no, probably not. I was just gonna say,
are you going to be FD? I'm definitely going to
be Okay, good? You know where socks down your underwear? Okay? Good? Uh,
you've seen Christina's bulge.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
We got a big five o'clock hour coming your way.
We got food news. The Dallas Observer has the twelve
best techmes joints in town.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
We got an update on the.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Prison break situation, and we returned to the Sports Infernal,
one of our favorite bits ever. So that's all coming
up in the five o'clock hour, coming up in just
about ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Uh, we'll go around the sports.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Jason Kidd was on with the d l LS guys,
and there's good stuff for us to examine.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
But right now it's time for this. It's time for science,
all right.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
So we were promised flying cars Michael J. Fox and
the scientist guy, Christian Lloyd. Yeah, they probably the Jetsons.
Jetsons were way ahead of their time, by the way.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Yeah, I'm waig yeah, smash yeah, dude, ye smashed dude.
What Yeah, don't don't Dan Jake have some segment about that.
I don't know about source material, the worst source material
they think they talked about that. I would have always
thought you would have been a Rosie the robot guy.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Interesting, Yeah, yeah, is right up your alley. He's a
maid too. Okay, he's not Schwartzenegger. You don't know my
search history.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
That's a game. None of us want to play. Judy Jetson,
though she can get it.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Man, that's good for the start of the show. I
don't disagree with it any of that.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yeah, we all agree, right, we've always agreed with that.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Christina, I'm good. What's the daughter's name, Judy?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Well, who's the wife?
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Judy is the wife daughter? Wait?
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Betty, Betty, Betty Betty and both let's be honest. Yeah,
the girls in college. We're assuming it's future college. We've
said too much. First mass produced flying car will go
on sale next year in how much do you guys
think this car will cost before I tell you some
(02:54):
details on it?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Four hundred thousand. That's a good guess. I swear that
was on the tip of my tongue. So I'll say
four hund and one.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Thousand, five hundred thousand. Christina with the one eight hundred thousand. Yeah, man,
I'll get one of.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Those flying car guys, say, company in Slovakia and their
new air car will cost eight hundred thousand dollars if
you want to get some upgrades on it up to
a million.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Here's the problem.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
It's technically a flying car, but it's not like a
hover car like you know. I always assuming this would
basically just be cars that hover. This thing is a
sports car, but it's just got retractable wings and it's
got a propeller in the back so you can lift
off and traffic you can't like lift off like in
traffic like past the car in front of you by
hovering over it, like you need a runway to use
(03:38):
this thing Like a plane.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
They just jump over a lake and it lands, Like
what is this?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
That seems like it's gonna be horrific, like in terms
of because like I would, I would assume that it
was similar to a hover car, like a more helicopterish
than airplane ish, would like straight forward speed.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Honestly, what is oh?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
I guess because you have to, Well then that makes
it okay. So a helicopter is basically now just a
big drone and this thing is a mini airplane.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Yeah yeah, So we can't have just regular driver's license
for this thing.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Well yeah, and it's not approved in the US. They're
hoping to get approval in the US this fall. There
will be a big vote on that, probably not gonna happen.
They will be approved in Europe though. They it transforms
into an airplane from a sports car in two minutes.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
This is just some James bond stuff. Dude.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Yeah, it says a top cruising speed of one hundred
and fifty five miles an hour and eighteen thousand.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Feet more like tom cruising speed. That's what I was thinking.
Highway to the danger zone, Kevin. Yeah, okay, So how
have they tested this?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I think a lab or space like we didn't you
guys see that video?
Speaker 1 (04:49):
You saw it, don't you watch John Oliver? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
John Oliver had one of those flying cars on like
two or three months ago and they showed that thing
where the guy was out in the desert, you know,
like the sands Like.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Yeah, okay, what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
How do like a wide open area like okay, you
know there's areas of flat desert where they tried to
set the new land speed record.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
There's just yeah Texas anywhere, or only to just strap
on a parachute on the.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Guy probably or just do a well, I guess can't
do a crash test doing this.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
It's going to fail.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I don't think they're flying high enough to where a
parachute would work.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
It says eighteen thousand feet. Really do you that's what
it says?
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Wait a minute, Okay, I don't know how high we
want it went out when we jump.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
It's like having a mini plane and flying. It's like
having a Cessna. Yeah, well I know that the minimum.
I think when my brother was flying, I thought it
was like ten thousand feet was the minimum I could
want to be and just be flying.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I thought I could be wrong skydiving.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
For a skydiving minimum altitude is three thousand to four
thousand feet.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
In a commercial jet is like thirty thousand feet.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
If this thing is going eighteen thousand feet, this is
not a flying car.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
This is an airplane. Yeah, this is not a good idea.
Well that's how I cost eight hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yeah, dude, I need my wife to just handle driving
up down the toll way before we started.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
All right, yeah, there you have it. There you have it.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
There is the uh yeah, a little science. Let's talk
science DFW coming up in just over three minutes. Jason
Kidd has spoken, he talked to our friends at DLLs.
We have audio to prove it. Let's talk Mavericks DFW
in just over three minutes. Don't go anywhere. That's next
on the Eagle before
And then Sunday is BFD.
