It's truly all he's ever offered is an obscure Robert imitation.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
It's so good, though, you gotta admit that line is
really on plod We hear it again.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
Yeah, you know, I don't know that it's done much
for me over the years. He actually is beating us
all though he's in Colorado. Yeah, imagine being in Colorado
right now.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
He escaped the heat. All right, we got a great show.

Speaker 4 (02:10):
I know. I was in the pre show meeting. I
heard a lot of the stuff that we're gonna get
out of a lot.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
I'll stop that.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
Lots to get into, but I do want to just
tell you guys that my wife, at one point on
Sunday afternoon said, how come every time I come into
the living room, you have this same weird movie on?

Speaker 1 (02:34):
And I was like, well, what are you talking about?
Exactly what she was talking about?

Speaker 3 (02:37):
Gun, Isn't that weird?

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Right now? She's used to that being on? Was it Tiptoes?

Speaker 4 (02:42):
It was the movie Friendship. Oh, let's go starring Tim Robinson,
the star of I Think you Should Leave. Paul Rudd.
We've talked about this a lot. Now I'm a guy.
I probably am the number one ranked pay per view
spender in the country, there's zero doubt nothing, the only
pay per view it's been in the country. It's nothing

(03:02):
to be proud of. But it's when I want to
watch it. I want to watch it. And so if
it's available, you know, and they get you early on,
they're like, hey, this one just left theaters. It's nineteen
ninety nine to rent it or buy it for twenty
nine ninety nine.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
There you go, dude, buy it. If you rent it,
you get it for three days.

Speaker 4 (03:17):
And so I kept looking at what are the top
ten movies on pay per view, and Centers was up there,
you know, and that's a great movie. We talked about
that and all these other movies that popuck. I had
never heard of it, never heard of it, never heard
of it. Surely one of these days I'm going to
look up there and Friendship will be there, because it's
one of the greatest movies ever made. Well, it's a movie,
it's a movie that we've talked about.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
It's a it's a movie we saw Rotten Tomatoes. Actually,
I believe there's something that has a really good rating
and I've been wanting to see it, but it's always
twenty bucks go.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
To Ben's house.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
Well I decided to search for it as opposed to
just like look for the top ten. And it's been
available for months.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Yeah, I think it. I seriously think it's been available
since May.

Speaker 4 (03:59):
I think it went straight too there. Like we didn't
even have to go to the theater to see Friendship.
We could have just gone and watched it there. That's
not that uncommon these days though. Yeah, three or four
weeks in the theater and then and sometimes it's even
you know, streaming the day it comes out in the theater.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah, and it is a weird movie. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
The thing that connects with me is I love Tim Robinson.
I think my favorite show ever is I Think You
Should Leave. And so there's they I did a little
research on the movie, just looking into a little bit
after I watched it several more times this weekend. I
watched it almost every day, and it is the weirdest,
cringiest movie ever. Like, even being a fan of Tim Robinson.

(04:38):
I watched it in that theater, going, oh my god,
this is so awkward. And if you don't know, it's
it's a story about older males and how hard it
is for them to create friendships as adults.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
So it's like, I love you man a little bit.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
Yeah, but I love you man has a way different vibe.
The vibe of friendship is to me feels at little
bit like cable guy. Okay, yes, it's very much like that.
That's that's a good way to put it. It's definitely
a weird, bizarre vibe like that. And the guy who
directed it, and I guess he wrote it, it says
he drew inspiration from his own experiences of male bonding

(05:16):
and disconnection and it was a genuine friendship that that
he had with somebody where the friend broke up with him.
And so I'm it's a friend breakup. Yeah, hey, listen,
I think we need to go our own ways here.

Speaker 5 (05:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
And you know, if you watch the way that this
movie unravels for Tim Robinson's character, he has no friends.
He's really unaware of what's happening in his own house.
It's a weird thing just at his house. The vibe
is totally weird.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
At his house.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
He has to go deliver a package to Paul Rudd's
character's house because it came to his address, and he's like, wow,
Paul Rudd this You know, this guy's a badass.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
God, I'd love to be friends with this guy. He's
on TV. He's on TV. He's gonna band.

Speaker 4 (05:59):
His wife is like, you have nothing going on, just
go over there and hang out with that guy. He's like,
what are you talking about? I always got you don't
know my schedule.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
That's my favor part. So I've how many times have
you seen it now? Probably four? So I've only no, no, no,
I'm envious because.

Speaker 4 (06:16):
I saw it once and the problem for me was
that it was oversold to me, and so then I
oversold it to my wife and my wife didn't like
it at all. But I what happened was because it
stayed on my social media timeline, I kept seeing scenes
and it reminded me of how funny I thought it was,
and I was like, this movie is really funny.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
I need to see it again. But it's it's heavy
and hard to watch.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
But because it's so cringey, it's not like I think
The Naked Gun or something where it's like a joke,
am innute bam bam bam bam bam. It's so cringey
and awkward that it's hard to watch. Sometimes there's nothing
upbeat about it. Like she referenced, I Love you Man,
I Love you Man is compulsively watchable because it's it
has a disposition and it actually has a nice ending.

(07:03):
This movie does not end well like just no, just
see it for yourself, but there are so many funny parts.
And do you know what I kept thinking about Ben
is that scene where he leads a They're having a
party for his wife who he ruined her life, and
he decides to do a marching band. He wants everybody
to follow him, and he goes outside and no one

(07:24):
follows him, but a guy that he had a confrontation
with earlier is standing on a chair in his living
room addressing everybody, and the last thing he says is,
and while I'm mad it, we should have never pulled
out of Afghanistan. And man, I thought back to that
about twenty five times. There's these you know, doing research
on it. There's all these other articles that started coming

(07:45):
out around that time, and there's an article in The
New Yorker that's called should Men Even Have Friends? And
it's like, here's this guy working in corporate culture, like
he's got a meeting to go to us finding these meetings,
although really he's in there with the largest cup of
coffee anyone could ever make, Like it's very almost coming

(08:05):
over the sides.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
He's like, watch out, full cup of coffee here. That
made me laugh one hundred times. Taking to that right, And.

Speaker 4 (08:10):
It's like he's existing in this corporate environment but has
no friends and doesn't know how to make them at all.
And he invites some guys from work to come over
to his house and he's like showing him his drums
and he's terrible at it and they don't connect. So
finally he makes everyone leave. They're like, we've only been
here forty minutes.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
I mean it is it's funny.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
It's weird. Anyways, highly recommend it. Go watch the movie Friendship,
but it is weird and cringey. All right, we're you
gonna take us. Next in things, Skin is tracking well,
we have a sneak peek. When do the Mavericks hook
up with Luca? What are they doing on Christmas? Day,
we'll tell you next Ben and Skin Show ninety seven
point one the Eagles. Sometime today we're giving away a
four pack of tickets Rangers against LA and that's gonna

(08:50):
be August twenty seventh, is that game.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
So we'll be giving away tickets all week long. So
be listening.

Speaker 4 (08:56):
Have your iHeart app with the talkback feature, and you'll
have a chance to those tickets. But we reference something
from the show, so you gotta be listening, all right.
Coming up at the bottom of the segment, Ben and
Christina have a new TV show they're very fired up about,
and we will hit you to that.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
But right now it's time for this track, another edition
of things.

Speaker 4 (09:22):
Okay, Ben, it's not going to be official until Thursday,
but there are leaks and rumors of leaks as the
Mavericks schedule is about to drop. And I always, you know,
I'll look at the I'm not like follow well, our
buddy follow well because he travels with the team and
all that stuff. He starts planning his whole life around it.

(09:47):
There he is looking at the schedule, but I care
about a few things that Okay, what is the season opener,
what is the Christmas Day game?

Speaker 1 (09:57):
How does the end of the season look when it's
s time?

Speaker 4 (10:01):
And of course, now when do they play the Lakers?
So all this is going to come out on Thursday.
But this is so widely reported I believe it to
be true. For the second year in a row, they
are starting the season against the San Antonio Spurs.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Okay, and you know.

Speaker 4 (10:21):
The future of the NBA and the West, depending on
how if you want to include Luca and that or not.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
The Lakers right now aren't They're fine, They're just not great.

Speaker 4 (10:31):
But if you look at the Rockets with Kevin Durant,
the Spurs with Wimby and the Aaron Fox and their crew,
the Mavericks with Cooper Flag and their crew, and the
Oklahoma City Thunder, those four teams pretty much all in
the same region. That's the future of the West and
the now of the West, right so all those games
those feel like super big games. There's also leaks that

(10:54):
they're gonna I think the Mavericks are gonna end up
starting the season, according to rumors, with a bunch of
home games, and I think the Thunder is going to
be in that mix too, So it's going to be
like right out the gates the Spurs and the thunder
and then you get going really really fast. How do
you think they will do waiting for Kyrie? I think
how compromised are they? They're very compromised, And a lot

(11:15):
of it has to do with you know, really, in
any sport, implementing your defense it takes less time than
implementing your offense.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
And the Mavericks are going to be a defensive team. First.

Speaker 4 (11:28):
I suspect they will struggle offensively for a good month
or so, but I think their defense can hide some
of that and create transition and some of that. Well,
what they're fully going to do until Kyrie gets back.
I mean, D'Angelo Russell is a talented player. He could
end up having a bounce back year and be very
good for the Mavericks, and you would he would to me,

(11:49):
he'd never be the guy that you want to build
anything around, but as a stop gap and then a
bench player.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Yeah, sign me up. That's fine. How long do you
think the Anthony Davis window is?

Speaker 4 (12:00):
And I guess that's a hard thing to figure out,
just because he's always hurt, So how much longer can
he be one of the most important guys on your
team and get paid that much money. So and is
Kyrie on a parallel path with that? I think Kyrie's
on a parallel path. But I mean I would say
four to five years.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
You know.

Speaker 4 (12:20):
I also think you know, his contract's going to end,
and I think to his contract ends the same year
Luca can opt out. And I don't know that at
that point in his career he'll be an automatic Max
money player.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
He might.

Speaker 4 (12:32):
I no wontter how team would approach that based on
his availability too, right, Like the dude, you're great when
you play, but you don't play that much.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
You know what your blueprint is is Kyrie.

Speaker 4 (12:42):
Remember when the Mavericks traded for Kyrie, he didn't get
Max money, even though when he's healthy he's one of
the ten best offensive players in the universe. Yeah, I
mean maybe maybe the most talented offensive guard of the
last thirty years.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
Maybe. You know, it's at least in the conversation.

Speaker 4 (12:58):
I say that just because as you pay the picture
of the West and it's just like, oh my god,
this is gonna be a tough time to like, you're
this is a tough time to go for it. Yeah,
but if healthy, they're gonna be right up there and
and so there's there's that timeline and then there's the
Cooper Flag timeline, and they're totally they're gonna happen together,
but they're really two different things. Yeah, but what I

(13:19):
would say about the Cooper Flag timeline is Cooper Flag's
gonna be all NBA by the end of next season.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Wow. So by the by end of next season all NBA. Yeah,
how about that?

Speaker 4 (13:30):
So by the time that you know that timeline and
look at you know what a good comparison is, Go
look at what Kawhi Leonard did for the Spurs when
he was a young player. By his I think third year,
he was Finals MVP. Yeah, on a team with Tim
Dunk and Tony Parker Manugenobili. You see what I'm saying.
And so he's going to elevate faster because he's surrounded
by great players. Right, So by the time Anthony Davison,

(13:53):
Kyrie Irving's contractor up, they're gonna be second and third
fiddle to Cooper Flag. So they don't have to do
heavy lifting anyways. One more note before we move on
Christmas Day game Golden State Warriors. Okay, Steph Curry, Primetime
TV is gonna be fun let's go fantastic. All right,
there's things Skin is tracking coming up next in the
Hollywood Shuffle. Can Christina and I get Skin interested in

(14:14):
a TV show? We'll talk about it next. All right,
As you're driving around out there, be careful. Rex happen
if you're involved in a wreck that is not your fault.
Called the Frankeles two one, four, three, three, three thirty
three thirty three. We'll talk about them a little bit
later in the show, but right now, it's time for this.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
Moves hot, guys, every stay on the top in the woods.
Shovel shut all right.

Speaker 4 (14:44):
The other day, Christina mentioned a TV show that totally
uh caught my fancy. I had not heard of it
prior to that, didn't know anything about it. And it's
called The Pit, And you referenced it in a way
that it sounded like it had started taking up a
lot of your time because you were so into it
that affair.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
I yeah, the events that unfold in it, all the characters,
they're just really intriguing.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
And I loved it.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
I loved that show.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
Did you end up watching that with Black Nitro or
was that a solo mission?

Speaker 4 (15:11):
No?

Speaker 3 (15:11):
I watched it with Black Nitro and then I got
my mom to watch it as well. Okay, yeah, okay,
So I heard her say the Pit and I was like,
I don't even know what that is. I thought it
was maybe some sci fi thing, like I watched this
thing on Apple TV called The Silos, that's what it's called.

Speaker 4 (15:27):
And I was like, oh, I wonder if it's like that.
You know, Hollywood starts making things that are very similar
to one another. I did. I really didn't know anything
about it. And my wife and I are trying to
find things that we can watch together, and it's really
hard because all she watches is like The Bachelor, The Bachelorette,
Herpes Island, Senior Citizen, Herpees Island, like all those things,

(15:47):
young people banging in corpus yep. Like those types of
shows are all she watches. And so my wife only
watches International House Hunters.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
That's it. Or she was like she was like what
do you what do you I was like, let's watch
the show together. She was like, well, what do you
want to watch?

Speaker 4 (16:03):
This was Friday night and I go, well, Christina's been
talking about this show The Pit and she goes Pitt,
like is it about Brad Pitt? Like, what is it?
And so she looked it up. She goes, uh, it
looks like it's like about a hospital. I was like,
oh really, I had no idea, and so we just
started watching it and we watched the entire season by

(16:24):
the end of the weekend.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
Really nice. We watched it, and I think it was
fifteen episodes or so.

Speaker 3 (16:28):
It was a lot and each episode's about an hour long.
So yeah, good for you guys. It's HBO, right, Yeah,
I believe it is HBO, but you know, we didn't.
We watched it, I guess on Max HBO Max. So
it's like I didn't really watch it on HBO necessarily whatever.
But anyways, yeah, I never know where show comes from
these days, you know, you just watch it when you
watch it. Yeah, but I was like, okay, I was like, man,

(16:52):
this is very similar to the ear to ER. I think,
although I never watched R. ER ran from nineteen ninety
five to two thousand and nine. It regularly had twenty
to thirty million viewers. At one point was doing a
twenty two household rating, which means twenty two percent of
households in America that own a television we're watching.

Speaker 4 (17:12):
ER was that George Clooney's first thing too. It's what
blew him up. Okay, and you want to hear something
funny about that show? And Noah Wyley, the star of
the Pit, was on that show. Yes, but something funny.
So that was you know, mid nineties when it got going.
I was kind of dating a girl.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
You know.

Speaker 4 (17:30):
It wasn't serious or whatever. Different era, No DVR, no,
nothing like that. I didn't have a cell phone. I
didn't even have a pager yet. I don't think I
called her on a Thursday at seven point thirty when
Er was on. She was really upset with me. And
this is again there's no DVR. You don't tape things

(17:53):
and watch them later.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
Different era. It pretty much ended it.

Speaker 4 (17:56):
Yeah, like she was because she had gone to medical school.
Oh so pretty much that was the end of I
was like, man, what a bitch? All right, I'm good
because she was so into Er. It was such a
pervasive thing.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
Oh and you should call her up about this show
as well, because I know a lot of doctors and stuff.
They're saying, this is like the closest thing they've ever seen,
like a real life emergency room.

Speaker 4 (18:19):
It is incredible. So it's it's and Noel Wiley wrote
a couple episodes for it. He's very involved in the
writing of it. And he was, of course in ER
and now he's in this. He's a totally different role.
He was the young guy in R. Now he's the old,
crafty veteran in charge in this one. But it is this,
you know, it's this emergency room in Pittsburgh and it
happens in real time and so their shift from whatever

(18:41):
their shift is, six am to six pm, whatever it
may be, each episode is another hour within that all
takes place in one day. Oh cool, And it shows
you just the mad house that it is to work
in an R and how there's constantly injuries and crisises
coming in and it's just total chaos and this stress
that it puts on these people is almost unimaginable.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
And it also shows like the the corporate aspects of
it as well, like they don't they can't pay these
nurses enough, so they can't keep it fully staffed. And
then it's going back and forth on all that part
of that side of things as well. So it's just
it's really really good.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
Cool, Yeah, it's really good.

Speaker 4 (19:19):
But I was sitting there going man, what a great
thing to do a TV show on, like because it's
constant drama and u But my wife struggled with it initially.
She was like, it's not going anywhere. They're just showing
all these people coming in and out. I was like,
what are you talking about. You can feel this underlying
thing happening. But because they did it in real time,
it's hard to like, I don't know, get these big, rich,

(19:42):
deep things in one hour at work, right, Yeah, so
it kind of develops over the course of the day.
And you know what you guys are describing it sounds
to me in the way you just talking about the
crumbling of our health system.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
Yeah, yes, and you know, to me, that's like that's
what the Wire was.

Speaker 4 (19:59):
And one of the criticisms of The Wire was that
it took so long to develop, but it was layer
upon layer upon layer, because that's how structures crumble. Yeah,
they crumble under the weight of everything that they can't support.
They're dependent on the satisfaction store score from patients, but
the patients are forced to wait because they can't hire
enough nurses to get to all them quickly. Yeah, and also,

(20:23):
like you know, a lot of times is the insurance
worked out, because they're not going to see.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
You if the insurance isn't there exactly. Yep, man, what
a mess.

Speaker 4 (20:30):
Anyways, highly recommend the pit. Thank you for that recommendation, Christina.
Then all right, coming up next, we're going to keep
the ball with Christina. It's time for Christina's cookie jar.
Where you going to take us?

Speaker 5 (20:40):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (20:41):
Well, Ben, I'm officially a part of a Denk couple
and I'll explain that.

Speaker 4 (20:44):
Ben and Skin Show ninety seven point one The Eagle.
If you've been listening, you know we have a whole
iHeart Thank a Teacher thing that's going on because look, man,

Speaker 6 (21:41):
For this.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
The prods.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
From Christina's Koopy Jr.

Speaker 4 (21:58):
Job.

Speaker 3 (22:01):
Christine, Okay, I'm gonna start with some kind of scary news.
It's not really bad news, but scary news before I
get to the really really good news.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
I think I'm the only one that watches any type
of car racing here, right, that's accurate? Yeah, okay, well,
I do love watching Formula One. They are on summer
break right now. But something they do, and this is
most racers, most car racers, at the end of the race,
if they win, even if they get poll position like
up two or three, they get out of their car

(22:37):
and they'll get on top of the car and they'll
pump their fists real hard. And every single time I think, man,
how are they not sliding off their car because they
are wearing like special you know, racing boots and stuff
that probably aren't gripping the roof of a car. Very well, well,
it actually happened. It actually happened yesterday. This sweet driver's
name is Connor Zilich. He's only nineteen years old.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 3 (22:59):
This this was in NASCAR, and apparently he's like an
up and coming star because this is his sixth win
of the season so far. Got it nineteen at nineteen yeah, huge, Well,
he won the race over the weekend. He gets out
of the side of the car. You know, it's a
NASCAR car, so the door doesn't open. So he's getting

(23:19):
out of the window and he's trying to climb to
the top. And they always have like this this crap
that they have to carry with them as well, like
their water cup whatever, so he's grabbing that and then
you'll see that his foot kind of gets caught in
the window. He slips and he falls right on his
head and his shoulder right on the ground. And again
it's a really scary video and he kind of goes

(23:42):
unconscious for a minute. They get a stretcher. Very scary scene,
but I will say this. The good news is that
he is totally fine.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (23:48):
He did tweet out not too long after that. He said, hey,
thank you everyone for reaching out. I'm out of the
hospital getting better already, he said. CT scans for his
head are clear. I just have a broken collarbone, so
that's it.

Speaker 4 (24:00):
But then I saw that and I thought he broke
his neck. I thought I was watching somebody snap their neck.
I thought he was going to be paralyzed. You know,
they pour milk all over themselves for some races, right,
is that just one race?

Speaker 3 (24:12):
I believe the five hundred, And I've never quite understood why.

Speaker 4 (24:16):
So a lot of times there's standing slippery car and
shoes and there's like champagne or some liquid around too.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
Right, absolutely, So I did look up because I was like,
you know what, I've never actually seen this happen before. Yes,
I think it all the time. And I looked up, Hey,
how many falling off their car? And this is what
AI said. Okay, while there's no specific, compiled list, relatively
common occurrence, and then it brings up this Connor Zillich

(24:43):
thing that just happened, and again he's fine, But apparently
it happens more often than we're aware. But again, I've
been watching F one for three four years now, I've
never seen it happen. But those those F one cars
are built differently too, so I have no idea how
they're just ready to stand on that not fall whatsoever.

Speaker 4 (25:01):
But it's hard to tell someone, hey, you can't celebrate
a certain way. I mean, they do it in the
NFL with penalties and stuff, But after a race thing's over, Like,
how are you gonna get these guys to stop doing
it the way they do it?

Speaker 5 (25:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (25:12):
God, that's crazy.

Speaker 4 (25:13):
Yeah, I'm glad he's okay, though I thought, you know,
I was witnessing a guy die.

Speaker 3 (25:17):
Yeah. No, he's totally good, but very very scary, and
I'm glad he's okay. So now onto the good news, guys,
really really really good news. I'm so excited. So you
guys know, I went through Orchard. I put my condo
on the market to sell. This was back in I
believe March March April, and so I worked with Sweet
Bailey over at Orchard. He gave me a heads up

(25:39):
right off the bat. He was great throughout this entire thing,
by the way, but he was like, look, condos don't sell.
It takes him a few months, so just to heads
up on that it's not gonna be a quick sell.
And as we progressed through this, he kept checking in.
He's like, you're having some showings. We might need to
lower the price a little bit. Not a great market
to sell right now. No one wants to buy anything
big anyway. So really, just this past week, Mike and

(26:03):
I sat down, I'm like, man, maybe I should just
look into renting it out. I don't have the time
to deal with renting it out and going through all that,
but maybe that's something we should look into. Anyway. I
believe this was Friday night. Friday night, eight o'clock, Bailey goes.
He sends me a text, Christina, great news, we haven't
offered place.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
Let's go.

Speaker 3 (26:23):
And of course it was a little lower than what
I was asking for, but he was like, we should
counter with this, blah blah blah. Let me know what
you think. And again he is so awesome. He sent
me an email with all the details out. It's like,
why we should go with this lower offer? All this
stuff counteroffered. Saturday. I wake up, they accepted the counter offer,
and I am now in contract. To finally sell my condo.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
That is awesome.

Speaker 3 (26:47):
Yeah, and so now Mike and I are officially a
Denk couple.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
Oh my god, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
I don't know what that means, double income, no kids,
that's a dream.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
So can I ask a question?

Speaker 4 (27:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (27:01):
Shoot?

Speaker 5 (27:02):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
Last I talked to Mike, he wasn't gamefully employed.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
Well, he is employed. So I'm just gonna say that
he is getting some income.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
Okay yo, which as we'd like.

Speaker 3 (27:11):
And this that's another great I'm so happy this sould
because now I can help him out if I need to,
and he doesn't have to stress out hell because he
was and uh anyway, so I'm just really happy for
what a.

Speaker 6 (27:22):
Weekend for that fantastic congratulations, thank you, and uh, thank
you for using orchard.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
We'll talk about that here.

A second coming up next, it's the news quickie the
most and least stolen vehicles in America.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
Man, I'm not a big fan of referees.

Speaker 5 (27:37):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (27:37):
And to that end, a referee almost ruined the Cowboys
entire season.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
But was it his fault?

Speaker 4 (27:42):
We'll talk about that story coming up here in about
ten minutes. We're also going to talk about the Frankeles.
If you're involved in a wreck that's not your fault,
called the Frankeles two one four, three, three, three thirty
three thirty three. If you have a friend, coworker, anybody
on social media, let him know about the greatness of
the Francles. We'll talk about that here in a bit,
but right now it's time for this.

I think I uh, I think I know.

Speaker 4 (28:26):
I think I know for Texas, and so I'm just
going to see where that shows up for the rest
of the country. So I'm wondering, because this is the
list is for all of America. But I'm going to
say the Ford f one fifty is going to.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
Be right up there. That's what I was going to
say too, dude. I think you're right.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
No, the Ford f one fifty is safe, safe from robbers?
What uh, maybe not here in Texas. Because I agree.

Speaker 6 (28:47):
Man.

Speaker 3 (28:47):
I remember seeing somewhere that F one fifty is like
the top stolen vehicle.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
Yeah, I thought it was nine to one in Texas.

Speaker 4 (28:54):
Yeah, walked out of the fan one day and somebody
was underneath my F one fifty trying to steal it.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
So I've experienced with that.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
There is no those not in the top ten.

Speaker 4 (29:03):
Okay, then I'm gonna go with, uh, what's that like? Well,
I guess there's got to be a car that there's
a bunch of r right, I'm just gonna say a Lexus.

Ford Modelsay.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
I need to get out of Texas because I have
no idea what even is on the road.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
If this helps you out, muscle cars top the list, Okay,
I was I didn't think there was enough of them.
But I was what's that one car the hemy the
Dodge supercar. Yes, that's what I was thinking, the supercharger. Okay,

Durango at number eight.

Speaker 4 (30:50):
The political stuff, people were going by and trying to
key Tesla's. Yeah, and they have so many cameras around
them that you everyone who tried to key one got caught. Yeah,
and so they're probably like, dude, I'm this is like
trying to steal a security camera.

technology is too good.

Speaker 3 (31:08):

it's time for this. Now it's around the sports KT
tweets as all the sports.

Speaker 4 (34:23):
Yes, all right, I am doing this instead of KT
because KT is dead. But more on that coming up later.
I heard you the lead, So I want to talk
a little Dallas Cowboys football DFW and this is how
we approach Cowboys content.

Speaker 1 (34:40):
On this dumb show.

Speaker 4 (34:41):
We're not going to break down the game. It's preseason
game one. It's you know, we didn't even really watch that.
It's just that's it's not really necessary. We'll get into
your stuff, though, we'll get into whether, you know, even
a significant number of starters played, who who is responsible
for making that decision? Then a little media fight that's
spilled out over that issue exactly. I don't know what

(35:03):
they're I don't know what you could take from the
first preseason game that would inform you too much. Like
if there was like Joe Milton didn't play well Cowboys
backup quarterback. He was real shaky out the gate, but
then got it together a little bit, he said afterwards.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
I just got to settle down. I got a suth.
You know, he was probably a little too excited. He's
twenty five.

Speaker 4 (35:25):
He's just a football baby, and that dude has he
He is on record saying that he has thrown a
ninety yard pass before he could throw the football ninety yards.
When I read that, what is the first thing he
thought of? When you read that, throw football over the mountain?
I thought of Uncle Rico. I absolutely thought of Uncle Rico.
He did throw an orange. This is when I really
got on board with Bazooka Joe. There's footage of him

(35:47):
throwing an orange one hundred and twenty yards or something.
I'm like, Okay, that's the type of thing that resonates
with me. That guy's gonna be great.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
I look at that as a guy that can launch
food over a border, you know.

Speaker 4 (35:58):
So it's like, Okay, there's this horrible encampment over here
and people are starting, We'll have Joe throw fruit to them.
Or if you were in prison and you were friends
with him, you could say, dude, I'm gonna be out
in the yard. Just throw me an orange. Yeah, I'll
be about here. You throw it over the wall. He
can create a diversion.

Speaker 5 (36:15):
You know.

Speaker 4 (36:16):
When you're a kid growing up too, for whatever reason,
the idea of throwing something over the roof of your
home comes into play.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
Yeah. I don't know why. It's big. It's the unknown
of can you clear it? And then what happens next?

Speaker 3 (36:29):
Yea real quick did y'all know this was on ESPN
two or OCHO or whatever. There's actually a competition of
men throwing football on the roof, Like throwing on the
roof and it comes down like a league competition.

Speaker 5 (36:42):
I can't believe.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
Like we were watching it the other day, is it
a pitch true for a flat roof? It's pitched okay,
and it's it's awesome.

Speaker 4 (36:49):
They have all these rules, they do a league, people
do color commentary, crowds watch it.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
It's some games, dudes.

Speaker 4 (36:55):
It's kind of like the South Park guys made up
basket basketball. It's exactly what I was, similar in that
these guys came up there only when I was a kid.
You know, when you're when you're real little and you
think your house is so huge. You go back to
it now as an adult. Godly, that was tiny. And
I would always try to throw football over the roof
and sometimes I could clear it, sometimes I couldn't. And

(37:16):
the most the thing that comes back to months and
while we're talking about Joe Milton, is one time my
brothers and I were in trouble and my dad had
us all doing yard work in the front yard and
my older brother he said, Uh, do you do you
think you could throw this fire truck? It was like
a bigger than a matchbox or hot wheel, but not giant,
And he was like, do you think you could throw
that over Do you think I could throw it?

Speaker 1 (37:37):
I can't remember which one of us threw it now,
but he's like, uh.

Speaker 4 (37:41):
One of us was like, yeah, man, I can do it,
and we threw it over the roof and it hit
our dad. We didn't know, and so then he was
storming around to the He was storming around to the
front of the house, and whoever didn't throw the first
one through another one and this one did not go
over the middle of the house. It was like a
slice and it went to the right side of the

(38:01):
house where he was and it also hit him.

Speaker 3 (38:04):
Oh, oh my god.

Speaker 4 (38:05):
He walked to the front. I don't know which one
made his head bleed. His head was bleeding and he
was furious. We both hit him. What are the chances
that is insane? Anyways, speaking of insane, Ceedee Lamb was
almost killed in this game.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
It happens.

Speaker 4 (38:21):
There was a moment in this game where the Cowboys,
I think it was Jonathan Mingo, had separated from a
corner and he was going to be wide open deep
and even before the pass got there, Ceedee Lamb knew
that one of his fellow receivers had just smoked a
corner so he started celebrating, turned his back to the play,
and started walking down the sideline, pointing as if to say,

(38:42):
got him. Well, the ball was wildly underthrown, which doesn't
really come into this, but receiver had to come back
and try to get it. And so a referee was
doing his job running down the sideline. You're not supposed
to stand on the sideline or be in the way
of the referees. They're running down that giant, thick white stripe.
When the referee just runs directly into the back of CD.

(39:04):
CD is walking with his running kind of you know,
celebrating with his back turned to the referee. The referee
is in a dead sprint while he looks back over
his left shoulder to watch the play developing, trying to
get in a position to make the call. And it
is a flat out collision. There's audio of it, and
it looked violent and dude, luckily CD's okay, But that

(39:25):
could have ended his season, which would effectively end the
Cowboys entire season. It would have been tough, and that's,
you know, okay, So we didn't even play a starter
in the preseason game and he got hurt. That would
have been brutal. But I told you Mingo was gonna
be huge. I mean that move proved everything. Yes, this
also reminds me of so He did so many wild
ass things. He got arrested at an airport for smuggling

(39:46):
a gun. He ate a hot dog on the sideline.
But dude, Barry Switzer got tangled up with Dion Sanders
in a playoff game on the sideline. Remember that was
it when Dion was a cowboy? Is when he was
a Niner? Oh, I think he was a Niner. And
they'll be trying to cover Michael Irvin and it was
benaldy it. It's just God the Switcher era amazing. Yep,

(40:07):
all right, there you have And there's an Oklahoma tie
in there too.

Speaker 1 (40:09):
There you have it. Ceedea, Lamb's gonna be okay though.
All right.

Speaker 4 (40:12):
Coming up next in Trending and Ben sports hypotheticals, this
ties into Christina's world, and it ties into a guy
we love following the local media scenes sports hypotheticals. Next,
you are listening to the world famous Ben and Skin Show,
the official show of fun. No place funner around DFW
than getting up to Durant, Oklahoma and heading to the
chalk talk, casino and resort. We'll talk about that a bit.

(40:33):
We got the Today game coming up, cussing the Cowboys,
a media fight, all that's coming your way.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
But right now it's time for this.

Speaker 5 (40:40):
She's interrational, quick triggered, nuclear overreactor. She's a masterful storyteller
who consistently finds himself drowning in a sea of awkward.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
It's time for no trundy in Ben.

Speaker 4 (40:56):
A few things get me more fired up than sports
hypotheticals with mere mortals, I'm talking about non athletes. When
those of us who aren't professional athletes start contemplating, I
wonder if I could do this, or I wonder if
you could do this, and it has to do when
it has to do with professional athletes in particular, I'm
fascinated by that. Like we worked with Jesse Holly, he

(41:19):
won a national championship as a basketball player at North Carolina,
was the star of their football team. He ends up
winning Michael Irvin's reality show to make It under the
Dallas Cowboys hung around for a few years like one
of the greatest athletes on earth.

Speaker 1 (41:31):
To be able to accomplish that.

Speaker 4 (41:32):
Just if you think about the percentage of humans that
have ever done anything similar. People would constantly go, dude,
you're a spare and send him social media telling him
he sucks and he barely played. You know how hard
it is to do those things. It's ridiculous. And so
he scored an NFL touchdown the way that you know.
There's just levels to this. And so I saw slightly biased,

(41:55):
one of my favorite media people, and then I saw
the Soroy Boys, a couple of my favorite media people
with separate hypotheticals this weekend. Now one of them, Christina,
involves black Nitro, your roommate, So I want to include
you in this, but it had to do My understanding
was Cash Sleroy, the older brother of the two Surroy Boys,
the famous Soroy Boys, thought that he could throw a

(42:17):
baseball how fast?

Speaker 3 (42:19):
About seventy five? I believe that I was old.

Speaker 5 (42:23):
Now.

Speaker 3 (42:23):
They were in Florida over the weekend, so that was
reported back to me.

Speaker 4 (42:26):
Yeah, and I kept seeing social media me about it,
and I think maybe his brother Mike, your boyfriend and roommate,
said he was guessing what maybe fifty.

Speaker 3 (42:37):
Nine or ye said hell, no, maybe fifty If that,
there's no way I don't think there's any way right
now that Cash could throw a baseball fifty miles an hour.

Speaker 4 (42:47):
Yeah, there was a point where I was playing a
lot of softball, and I used to love baseball. I
was not a pitcher or anything, and I was I
was somewhere where there was a radar gun, like at
a Ranger game or something, or a rough Riders game,
and I got to throw a baseball and I was like, man,
I wonder if i'll throw it, you know, seventy five
or something like that.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
And I threw it and it was like fifty two.

Speaker 4 (43:09):
And I was currently playing a lot of softball, like
you're in your twenties, right, Yes, in my twenties.

Speaker 1 (43:14):
I'm sitting here just thinking about this.

Speaker 3 (43:16):
Now.

Speaker 4 (43:17):
Cash is probably in better shape than me. But I'm
sitting here thinking if I tried to throw a baseball
as hard as I can to get velocity, I would
probably throw my shoulder out.

Speaker 3 (43:28):
Exactly, and he probably would too. I don't even know.
I've never seen him pitch a baseball before.

Speaker 4 (43:32):
Yeah, I mean, if you told me a he played
competitive baseball and almost got a college scholarship, I would
consider it. But just a guy, and it's just fifty.
He's going, yeah, I think I could throw it seventy five.

Speaker 1 (43:42):
Miles an hour. Is the most insane thing a guy,
such a guy thing to say. You know, it remind me.

Speaker 4 (43:48):
I think there was an episode of Seinfelder where this
guy goes, Hey, what do you think whatuld happen to
me if I jumped off that balcony?

Speaker 1 (43:54):
Anyways, I don't know that. I asked Ai and it
was like, very unlikely.

Speaker 4 (43:59):
They're like, if you're already throwing sixty to sixty five,
it would take you six to twelve months if you're
starting at sixty with and it shows you this program
of how to open.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
So no, I don't think that's okay. That was his hypothetical. Okay.

Speaker 4 (44:10):
The others are are Buddy slightly biased now slightly biased,
local media guy, Big MAVs following like thirty thousand YouTube followers,
great guy, funny.

Speaker 1 (44:20):
Anyways, he was talking about this.

Speaker 4 (44:22):
He said, what do you think would be easier of
these three sports hypotheticals? Getting a hit off major league
pitcher Paul Skeens? You get twenty five swings. Okay, Now,
this is a guy who strikes out major league hitters
and they look silly against him. So there's a mere
mortal trying to get hit up Paul Skins with twenty
five pitches, or beating Steph Curry in a game of
twenty one, which is one on one, make it, take

(44:43):
it and you're spot at a thirteen oh lead yeap,
Or stopping Derrick Henry from rushing for ten yards and
four tries.

Speaker 1 (44:51):
Now keep in mind Derreck Henry's Derrick.

Speaker 4 (44:54):
Henry's nfl averages like four point five yards of carry
or something like that against the whole defense. Yeah, but
I'm assuming this is a one on one drill where
you're just lining up across room. You gotta stop him,
you know which Holey's gonna hit? You gotta go plug
the hole? Yeah, which which of let's just talk about
each one of those these slightly ones, Paul Skeans, Steph Curry,

(45:14):
or Derrick Henry. Which of those is the hardest, the
lowest to me, the lowest percentage just far and away
Derrick Henry, And I think that's the one that you
would likely get hurt trying to do Oh my god,
or killed. Yeah, So there's a zero chance that's of
that that's out, that's zero. I agree, you agree with that, Christina.

Speaker 3 (45:31):
As soon as you said it, I was like, no,
there's no way anyone could do that.

Speaker 4 (45:34):
So I I think of Dude Perfect when I think
of the Paul Skans, because dude Tyler Tony tried to
get a hit off of who was the Rangers closer
that got real scared and looking, yeah like you a
little dude, I'm baking.

Speaker 1 (45:45):
Yeah, And so he would.

Speaker 4 (45:46):
Uh, Tyler Tony got to hit off him in spring
training and to see if he could get a hit
off him.

Speaker 5 (45:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (45:51):
Now that reliever, I can't remember his name, but it's
not as good as Paul Skean's either, right, Uh. And
most people aren't even a good of athlete as Tyler
Tony of Dude Perfect. So there's that you have twenty
five swings to get a hit off maybe the best
pitcher on the planet. That's gonna be hard because keep
in mind, he can throw one hundred two miles an hour,
he could throw seventy miles an hour. He can put
it anywhere he wants.

Speaker 3 (46:12):
It to be right, what's his personality like, do you
think he'd give you one just because he felt bad
for you?

Speaker 4 (46:16):
No way, there's not an athlete alive that would do that. Okay,
oh so there's that, or Steph Curry, you're playing at
twenty one. It's make it, take it. And people don't
realize they think watching Steph Curry, oh he's a little guy. No,
when he's standing next to regular human beings, he's six
two sixty three six four, I don't know, he's he
not little bitty old.

Speaker 1 (46:37):
He looks like a giant guy, right. I think that,
you know, it's it's so weird because like, what's a hit?

Speaker 4 (46:44):
Like what if you got lucky and you just got
the the bat on the ball and it was in play,
Like I think there's a degree of luck with that.
I think it have to be a hit that you
have a full defense out there and you have to
get to first base. There's no way and really most people,
even if you hit one to the outfield, they might
be able to throw you out before you get to
first base. Yes, by the way, the guy who couldn't

(47:06):
think of it as jose lea clerk. Yes. So the
only reason that I think that the best chance you
have is against Steph Curry is because you could. I
think it's I think it's easier to get lucky and
make a fade away because you'll get the ball first,
and so you could get lucky. You could get lucky

(47:28):
and get three straight buckets and win. But the second
he gets the ball, it's over. You're never stopping him. No,
you're never stopping And plus he can block your shot
with ease.

Speaker 1 (47:38):
Yeah wait, you know.

Speaker 4 (47:39):
Yeah, So I'm saying I think I think that that's
the best chance you have of I think you're talking
about getting lucky. I think you're you have a better
chance of getting lucky and hitting crazy shots than you
do of getting a bat on a ball and getting
it in play and then running.

Speaker 1 (47:54):
The first base. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (47:57):
I think I would take baseball, though, because I think
if you just happened to line up the barrel with
the ball and the momentum of the speed of the pitch,
I I just think it would be impossible.

Speaker 1 (48:08):
I think all of it's impossible.

Speaker 3 (48:10):
But with Steph you could probably make him laugh, to him,
throw him off a little bit, you know it was
something stupid.

Speaker 4 (48:15):
But the other thing too, is just like, okay, does
does the ball have to be thrown in the zone?
Like are you going to go chasing because if it
doesn't have to be a strike, right, you're done, You're
do You just don't even have to throw it to
where you can at it. I couldn't hit off Bassic
in wiffle ball when he was allowed to throw junk pitches. Yeah,
remember that. Yes, let's come on, all right, there you
have it. There's sports hypothetical is always fun. Thank you

(48:37):
slightly bias, Thank you cash Leroy. All right, coming up
in ten minutes, did a big national restaurant chain make
a huge mistake here in DFW? And then a bigger
conversation about DFW itself, what is cool and what sucks
about your city? All that's coming your way in the
back half of the five o'clock Out of the Bin
and Skin show. But right now it's five o'clock and
that means it's time.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
For this come on.

Speaker 3 (49:02):
Surprise.

Speaker 1 (49:15):
Yeah all right.

Speaker 4 (49:16):
Cowboys had their preseason game one. We talked about it
the other night. The biggest moment of the game was
a player who was not suited up getting run over
by an official. That's how important that game was. Now
today and prepping for the show, I stumbled across what
could be the making of a media fight between a
couple of sports giants here in Dallas.

Speaker 1 (49:38):
Fourth when it comes to sports.

Speaker 4 (49:39):
Media interested Now, I've not been following this since it happened.
So have there have been new developments since I took
a screenshot of this. I have no idea, but this
one is a little bit juicy. And so somebody had
a post that said bigger than the this guy's foots
the King foots. The King had this post bigger than

(50:00):
the actual game. I don't agree with Shotty sitting this
many starters. Joe Burrow played, Pat Mahomes played, and so
it's just a fan questioning a new Cowboys head coach,
Brian Schottenheimer on resting so many guys and not having
key players play. And it's always a rest versus rust thing,

(50:20):
right should they play? Should they not play? If they play,
do they get hurt like Tony Romo? So now it's
a disaster, So how do you protect your guys? Meanwhile,
guy's not suited up and gets just steamrolled by an
official with ceedee lamb. So this guy's like, hey, man,
I don't agree with what shot he's doing. Shody should
have been playing more starters. Well, our friend, the Great

(50:42):
Bob Sterm retweets Foots the King questioning Shoddy and says,
you must think the coach can make that decision.

Speaker 1 (50:51):
Oh, I have bad news. Oh Sterm's giving him bad news.

Speaker 4 (50:59):
That's his tweet. You must think the coach can make
that decision. I have bad news. So this is to
indicate that Shody is not in control of this at all.
It seems to presume that Jerry Jones is the one
who makes that decision, or Will McLay or whomever Stephen
Jones like they are deciding who isn't So he's this

(51:19):
guy's critical of Shoddy for not enough Cowboys starters playing
ster I'm saying, dude, Shotty doesn't make that decision.

Speaker 1 (51:25):
What are you doing? Right? That's not how this works,
right right? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (51:29):
And you know my first thought on that is, I
bet every organization is different, but usually it would be
a collective thing, especially with football because there's so many
people involved. But like, if your head coach was Bill
Belichick and his Bill Belichick would make old decisions, right,
But in a situation like this, like I bet if
it was Mike McCarthy, it would be a little bit

(51:51):
different than with Brian Schottenheimer. I'm sure they all sit
in a room and decide who is and isn't going
to play.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
Well, uh, I think you're right. I think you're right.
Well sure, Bob Sterm retweets foot to King, that's my guy.
By the way, have you seen his other stuff? Bob
Sturm says, you must think the coach can make that decision.
I have bad news for you.

Speaker 4 (52:10):
The Voice of the Dallas Cowboys responds, Oh, Brad Sham,
let's go. Brad Sham responds to Bob Sterurham and says,
you're misinformed.

Speaker 6 (52:21):
A mic drop moment, right, no further explanation, just hey,
I see you out here trying to be the authority
on this and you're saying you know everything and you
don't know what you're talking about, right right, right?

Speaker 5 (52:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (52:39):
I care what happens this year on the field. My
season has been saved by this exchange. That's not the
end of the exchange, all right, So again, footzda King says,
bigger than the actual gam. I don't agree with shot.
He's sitting this many starters. Bob Sturham says, you must
think the coach can make that decision. I have bad
news Brad Sham says, you're misinformed to Bob's term, and

(53:02):
bob Sterm then replied and said, I wish I was.

Speaker 1 (53:09):
Hold on though I wish I was. Why does he
wish he was missing formed?

Speaker 5 (53:13):
Right? Wait?

Speaker 3 (53:14):
What's okay? Because he wishes that he didn't know that shot,
he's not actually making those plays. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (53:22):
I think what it is is that he feels like
he has to respond and there is reel no good
response there.

Speaker 3 (53:27):
Yeah, you know, but it's Bobsterm. He knows by now
he doesn't have to respond to.

Speaker 4 (53:32):
Oh, I don't know, man. I think sports talk costs
live in these environments. YEA, love every second of it.

Speaker 5 (53:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (53:39):
Did did Sham respond to Bob.

Speaker 4 (53:41):
Saying I was I don't know. Okay, here, let me
kind of get back into the thread. Right, you must
think the coach can make that decision. How is forty
six thousand views? Brad Sham saying you're missing formed? Bobster
I'm saying, would those have fewer?

Speaker 3 (53:58):
Wish I was?

Speaker 1 (54:00):
I wish your mom's misinformed?

Speaker 3 (54:02):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (54:02):
Oh uh okay.

Speaker 4 (54:05):
Dan Rodgers says to Brad Sham, I thought that Jerry
makes all decisions. Narrative died with the what's up phrase.
I really hope it doesn't make a comeback. Why Bob
Sterm says, I've only covered the team thoroughly for three decades.
Maybe just maybe I have done some of my own homework. Oh,
I have done some of my homework, oh, Bob. And

(54:27):
then this is the thing, like, I'm please understand not
equating myself to Brad Sham, but I've been in situations
where people tell me I don't know what I'm talking about,
and then I go, well, I mean I have access
to a lot of it from yeah, but you work
for the team, so it's like your opinion doesn't matter
because you're just puppet boy. So you know, you kind
of get in that thing. It's like, well, I don't

(54:47):
know what to tell you, man. I mean, I'm here
like a lot and I haven't seen you here once
whole year. But maybe someone's feeding you back channel. I
don't know what to tell you, man, But that's what happens.
What It's a lot of Jerry, a lot of sticking
chest out. It's two very reputable guys, very reputable guys,

(55:08):
very reputable, and they clearly disagree.

Speaker 1 (55:10):
Yes, so how will this be handled?

Speaker 5 (55:12):
No?

Speaker 1 (55:13):
I don't know, but I love it all right.

Speaker 4 (55:14):
Coming up next, it's the weekly Weekday update. Did this
national restaurant make a huge mistake? We'll discuss next week.
Ben in Skin Show ninety one point one The Eagle.
Let's give away those Ranger tickets. We have a four
pack for the August twenty seventh game. We were just
talking about a media fight. There was two guys in
the local sports media arguing on Twitter. We were just
talking about it. Name one of those guys. If you

(55:36):
can name one of those guys, leave it on the
talkback feature on the iHeart app with your name, your
phone number, your email address, be the first person to
do it, and you are going to win the tickets
to go see the Rangers August twenty seventh. It's a
four pack. So again, who were the two guys that
were in that media fight. We were just talking about
it before that song there, and if you know and
you're the first, you're going to win those tickets.

Speaker 1 (55:58):
But right now it's time for this Are you Excited? Sayday?
Featuring veteran news anchor KT fun Tweets.

Speaker 3 (56:11):
Actually no, no KT today, but I'm gonna be stepping
in for the week day today.

Speaker 1 (56:17):
Wo Christina fun tweets it's amazing.

Speaker 4 (56:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (56:20):
Okay, So I want to take us back to twenty
twenty three. Only two years ago, we had a big
chain coming to town. I'm talking about Portillo's now. I
will say this. I know when I first went to Chicago,
Portillo's was like the first thing everyone said, You've got
to go to Portillo's. You got to stop there and
get a hot dog whatever. I remember going. I remember

(56:41):
not getting a hot dog. I think I got like
a beef sandwich was, which is what else they're known for.

Speaker 1 (56:45):
And it's good.

Speaker 3 (56:46):
It was really good. I loved it. And so I
remember everyone being very excited about Portillo's coming to the Metroplex.
They opened up in the Colony first in early twenty
twenty three, and they killed it and and uh, this
reminded me of In and Out opening. Yeah you mentioned
that skin. Uh like the line was wrapped around the building.

(57:07):
You couldn't go there. I remember telling myself, like, I
guess I'll just wait a month or two before I
finally go. Anyway, we're talking about Portillo's when they first
opened in the Colony, and uh, they averaged forty eight
thousand dollars in sales per day in that first month. God,
so business mind, You're like, all right, cool, we're doing

(57:27):
pretty damn good. They decide to keep opening them.

Speaker 1 (57:30):
That's one point four million dollars of revenue in the
first month.

Speaker 3 (57:33):
It's insane, absolutely insane.

Speaker 1 (57:35):
Do I do that math right?

Speaker 2 (57:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (57:37):
It sounds good to make? Yeah, yeah, sure, And it was.

Speaker 4 (57:40):
And I saw those lines that were incredible, and like,
I wanted to go there. I love hot dogs, and
I heard all the buzz about it. So and in
the hot dog the first thing on like the belief
the name. I think it says hot dogs, hamburgers, dogs,
beef and burgers.

Speaker 1 (57:54):
I think you're leading off with hot dogs. Yeah, And
I was like, okay, but it's strange.

Speaker 4 (57:59):
It was right there off so you would see those
lines you're talking about with the lines were always too
big for me to even stop there. And it was
set up like you know Chick fil a, double sided,
huge lines and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (58:10):
So yeah, that makes sense.

Speaker 3 (58:12):
Well, they decided to open some more locations because of
this success, like, hell yeah, let's keep going. They opened
another one in Allen later that year. They opened up
a whole lot more as Well, Dent and Fort Worth, Grapevine, Mansfield,
Arlington a lot. And now they they're saying they're gonna pull.

Speaker 1 (58:32):
Back a little bit.

Speaker 3 (58:33):
Oh they're not doing so hot.

Speaker 1 (58:35):
Now are they gonna close locations or just stop opening.

Speaker 3 (58:38):
I don't see any closings just yet. Good, but they
definitely so the guy, the owner, he said, we will
not be pushing the gas in North Texas. They've actually
lowered their expectations from about like half of what they were.

Speaker 1 (58:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (58:53):
So I the one in Allen is five minutes from
the crib and I like Portillo's. I have never once
experienced a line there, wow, not once, like usually it
may be a couple cars in line.

Speaker 1 (59:07):
We go there.

Speaker 5 (59:08):
I like it.

Speaker 4 (59:09):
You know those kinds of sandwiches that are you know,
dipped and whatever. I like them fresh. So we'll go
and sit in the lobby. You know, actually the dine
in and eat there. We've probably done that four or
five times. And you know when I go, there's three
or four tables.

Speaker 1 (59:24):
Wow. So it's not packed, it's not even close.

Speaker 3 (59:27):
It's not like a food truck. But there's a smaller
one somewhere.

Speaker 4 (59:30):
When it was getting ready to open, we were talking
about that on the air, and me and my wife
are so excited, and I would force her to go
on the air and talk about where the Portillo's food
truck was because they had that first. So there was
a bunch of buzz. But they're just not the demand
to sustain. I mean, I would say, like, over on
the other side of the highway, there's an in and
out over there, in and out. It's way busier than

(59:52):
Portillo's when I drive by, and it's not even really
close in and out.

Speaker 1 (59:56):
It's been in the much plates for a long time. Interesting.

Speaker 4 (59:58):
Well, maybe it was a miscalculation, maybe they tried to
go too big. Yeah, fantastic reporting there, Christina. I just
thought that was significantly better than what we're usually used to,
the type of reporting we usually get. I don't remember
a single report we've ever had before today. All Right,
where are you gonna take us next?

Speaker 1 (01:00:13):
Skin?

Speaker 4 (01:00:14):
Okay, this broke out on Reddit and the Morning News
has been talking about it. D Magazine has been talking
about it quite a bit. But do you think that
your city has no culture? We'll talk about it next.
Thank you for tuning in to the dumbest show in America.

Speaker 1 (01:00:52):
But right now it's time for this. Can I ask
you a question? Can we hijack another fifteen mins of
your day or so? What is the ideal camping season?
How are you feeling about your team these days? You're
in your truck right now, aren't you?

Speaker 3 (01:01:05):
Are you doing anything this weekend?

Speaker 1 (01:01:07):
How does the vinyl of the seat feel against your screw?
What were you working on with that prototype? Do you
like kids? What's the most important thing I should know
about you? Do you choose greatness? What were your parents like?
What are you looking forward to? There are more poisey
guys on the Cowboys than other teams. Are you a
bigger Cowboy fan or a never fin? Did I cause
you grief.

Speaker 4 (01:01:30):
Man, it's a great intro for May I ask you
a question? Uh So, I'm gonna I'm gonna give you
guys a question I want to discuss, and then I'm
gonna before we get into it and you give me
your thoughts, I'm gonna give you guys some food for thought,
some things to kind of prime the pump. So the

(01:01:50):
basic question I'm asking is something that was posed on
Reddit and it started. You know, we talked about Reddit
last week and how all that works, and so someone
put a subreddit with this question, what is the biggest
city with the least amount of culture? And man, the

(01:02:10):
subreddit folks went in there and they started going hard
and Dallas was all over it. Yeah, and so we'll
talk about Dallas stereotypes and all that in the moment.
But I want to read you a couple of things
that were in the subreddit, you know, get you guys
thinking about this. And then there's a famous Dallas site
that weighed in because what happens with The Dallas Morning
News saw this and d Magazine they both saw this,

(01:02:33):
and they started using it as social media content, writing
articles about it and people weighing in. Everybody's got thoughts
about the identity of their city. When you talk about
the culture of a city, you're probably talking about its
food scene, its art scene, and then like what is
the personality stereotypes of the people that live there?

Speaker 1 (01:02:53):
And then you know, what is the city like?

Speaker 2 (01:02:55):
Right?

Speaker 4 (01:02:56):
Like, you know, as it easy to get around, is
it easy to live there? All those things kind of
fit into the culture. But let me kind of read
you this one comment that Dallas led the way by
the way of the biggest city with the least amount
of culture. One guy said it's soulless. Another guy said,

(01:03:16):
a concrete abyss that never ends. Another person said, money
is the culture.

Speaker 1 (01:03:23):
That's it.

Speaker 4 (01:03:25):
So and that's actually an old stereotype of Dallas. Yeah,
because what happened was so much of Dallas was built
up by these It's a lot like the Beverly Hillbillies,
but it's these rural families that struck gold with oil,
suddenly had tons of money and moved to the big city.
That's kind of the history of Dallas and Fort Worth.

(01:03:46):
A couple other things that are kind of interesting here.
It says the Dallas Morning News counted at least one
hundred replies that suggested Dallas was completely devoid of culture,
all right. Now again Dallas just without the sub verbs
one point three million people without the suburbs. Dallas is
a big city when we start throwing in the suburbs,

(01:04:08):
and then if we want to combine it with Fort Worth,
it's the top five most populated area in the United States.
Here's a couple of things that I think are interesting.
When d Magazine posted it, people started going, well, look,
there is culture. You just got to look for it,
and started talking about more of like subcultural things.

Speaker 1 (01:04:24):
Here's a quote.

Speaker 4 (01:04:26):
Dallas is not a particularly interesting place to visit over
a weekend as someone who lives here, though I'm one
hundred percent okay with that. The culture is here for
those of us who stick around for more than a
few days. So that's the idea of like the deeper
you get into the city, the more you learn about it,
and the more you feel like it has a culture.

Speaker 1 (01:04:47):
I think it's an interesting topic.

Speaker 4 (01:04:49):
I started doing research on it and just thinking about it,
and what I was funding is like I started searching
our you do research on a city, it's not just
food and art, Like, what are the other things that
factor in?

Speaker 3 (01:04:59):
This?

Speaker 4 (01:04:59):
Is what I was funning, social vibe and personality, values
and priorities, diversity and demographics, lifestyle and leisure, work and economy,
physical environment, reputation and stereotypes, challenges and friction points. Right, ye,
all these different things factor in the First thing I
think of when I think of Alice fort Worth is

(01:05:23):
if I could live anywhere and wasn't attached, I probably
wouldn't live here. But I spent my whole life here,
My whole family was here, and so all my roots
are here, and so it's easier to be here. There's
plenty I like about it, But man, I just think
about the weather and the driving, and you know, part
of me is like, God, I would love to live
somewhere that wasn't so hot, and I would love not

(01:05:45):
to have to drive so freaking much.

Speaker 1 (01:05:48):
Just are things that come with the territory, right, I
think to say it, that's part of living here.

Speaker 4 (01:05:53):
You're going to have oppressive heat three to four months
out of the year, and you're going to have to
have a car because we don't have good public transportation.
And then there's you know, if you live in Colorado,
you probably are someplace you're sick of snow. There's too
much snow and it's too cold, and you're like, oh
my god, this is miserable. It's too cold. But you know,
if you live in a place where around mountains, that's
the vibe that you're like, oh my god, the mountains

(01:06:14):
are beautiful. I'm like feeding energy off this or a beach.
We just don't have that here. We have heat and
a lot of highways and a lot of concrete.

Speaker 1 (01:06:23):
Yeah. You bring up a really.

Speaker 4 (01:06:24):
Amazing point, and I think I want to get into
that next, Christine. I want to hear what you think
of the culture of the city, and let's talk about
how much the environment informs that culture. What are we Dallas.
Let's talk about it. We're doing it next right here
on The Eagle. Ben and Skin Show ninety seven point
one The Eagle all week this week giving away a
four pack of Ranger tickets for the August twenty seventh game.

(01:06:46):
As we barrel towards playoff season, will the Rangers still
be in the mix?

Speaker 1 (01:06:50):
You can be at some of these games. Be listening
all three hours. We'll give you a chance to.

Speaker 4 (01:06:54):
When you have to have that free iHeart app, you
stream programs, you listen to us. You listen to to
to podcasts. It's got it all, just like Monte Ellis.
So get that free iHeart app and have a chance
to win. Right now, it's time for this kill. The
thing's big, Yeah, Cynthia. We're talking about Dallas culture because

(01:07:16):
it broke out into this whole thread on Reddit and
then the Morning News was writing about it, and the
d magazine was writing about it.

Speaker 1 (01:07:22):
What is the culture of our city?

Speaker 4 (01:07:24):
And as we were kicking this around, we're talking about,
you know, the food scene, the art scene, architecture, what
does the city look like, the people, the personality of
the people, the stereotype of the residents, how easy is
it to live there, and then kind of some of
the things that branches off some of that. And you know,
Ben was just talking about the first thing. He thinks

(01:07:46):
about the oppressive heat, and then he thinks about, you know,
you just got to drive everywhere. There's so much driving
because we're so spread out, and I'm like, I don't know,
I don't want to put words Neille's mouth, but I
think of DFW, I include four Worth in it, but
also even saying that Fort Worth is wildly different than Dallas.
It is I mean They're like they're like two different places,

(01:08:08):
but they're all interconnected.

Speaker 5 (01:08:11):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:08:11):
Anytime I'm out in Fort Worth, all those people love
cowboys and Mavericks and rangers.

Speaker 1 (01:08:15):
I mean, it's it's all one big kind of thing.

Speaker 3 (01:08:17):
And the music scene too, Like I think you brought
up art like music scene here, but especially in Fort
Worth is huge and it's fun. And I do want
to go back to what Ben was saying about, like
the topography. I don't know how to say it. Yes, landscaping,
it would be nice to at least see mountains on
your drive, right, Like if you have a fifty minute drive,
it's not so bad when you have a gorgeous mountain

(01:08:39):
to look at the whole time, but you may take
advantage of that if you're seeing that every single day.
Does that mountain get old? I don't know, but it
would be nice to actually have that, maybe a beach
that you could just drive down the street too. We
don't have any of that. And so one thing that
struck me to this because especially when I went to
New Orleans, so I even mentioned Boston a few weeks ago,
Like when you go to those cities, there is like

(01:09:01):
a clear like vibe going on there, especially New Orleans.
You're like, man, this is what this city is really cool?
You know immediately if you hear something like that's New Orleans.
Dallas doesn't have that like at all. And I think
part of that is what you mentioned, like Fort Worth,
Like it's not just Dallas, it's all these little suburbs.
So we're just so scattered it's kind of hard to

(01:09:21):
have one central culture thing.

Speaker 4 (01:09:24):
Yeah, I think you're exactly right. And that's kind of
like the idea too, of environment and structure in forming
the culture. So think about a place was bringing up
oceans and mountains, Yeah, that's going to attract a certain
kind of person too. Like have you guys ever been
in a ski resort community, Like there's a lot of
in Colorado or Canada. Like when we went to Whistler

(01:09:48):
in Canada that's north of Vancouver, there were people living
there from all over the world that moved there specifically
because they wanted to work at a ski resort community,
and they all had kind of a similar personality. And
the personality of the people starts to inform the culture
of the city. Nobody the only reason, and we might

(01:10:09):
think about this, we're having this conversation. Now we might
circle back in ten years and we consider the culture
of the city way different because there is such an
influx right now of people from other parts of the
United States moving here, but they're not in the world
and the world. Yeah, but they're not moving here because
of the environment. They're moving here because of the economic

(01:10:33):
growth of the city, which is just a huge part
of what the culture is here. Yeah, it's booming business,
you know, no state income tax, all those things.

Speaker 5 (01:10:41):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:10:41):
Yeah, there was a person we're talking about the previous
segment that said the culture of Dallas is money and
that's it, and that's the end of story. And for
a long time, you know, there is this stereotype that
Dallas is just La wannabes, you know, And like I
know a lot of people that have lived out in
La and they went out there for reasons involving the

(01:11:02):
entertainment industry, and pretty much all of them hate La.

Speaker 1 (01:11:05):
Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (01:11:05):
I run into so many people who hate California who
moved from there and couldn't get out of their fast enough,
just like, oh my god, this is going to hell
in a handbasket.

Speaker 1 (01:11:15):
Yeah, And even particularly.

Speaker 4 (01:11:17):
Like La, I think La is kind of like Dallas
and that like, if you've ever seen quote unquote downtown
la it ain't in press. It's not like Chicago or
New York or any of these big cities. And we
were talking about this last week.

Speaker 1 (01:11:32):
I think about this.

Speaker 4 (01:11:33):
I spent I live in Allen, I live right off
one twenty one, and I spend so much time when
I'm driving in on one twenty one and I look
at that little area where the toll way and one
twenty one come together, and it's almost like driving into
downtown Tulsa or downtown Oklahoma City. But it's far away
from downtown Dallas and even further away from downtown Fort Worth.

(01:11:54):
So we have these little hubs that are growing because
of what you know, Ben just talked about with the
economic environment. And again it's like I there is one
comment or that I agree with if you live here,
Like if you visit Dallas, where.

Speaker 1 (01:12:10):
You're gonna go.

Speaker 4 (01:12:10):
You're gonna go to uptown, You're gonna go to deep Elum,
You're gonna go to down Like where are you gonna go?
And you're not gonna be that impressed with it? And
then you're gonna leave. But if you live here, Like
there's tons of stuff to get involved in. I think
it depends on what your age and your interests are too.
There's kind of something for everybody. Yeah, right, Like I
don't have any interest in going to Deep Elum. I
did when I was young, but I get it, Like,

(01:12:32):
if you're young and that's your scene, you may dig
going to do that. But I'm just I'm more likely
to want to go to the you know, PGA and Frisco.
Oh yeah, it's gonna say you did going to the
Star Legacy West or any of those kinds of places.
But I you know, when I think about Dallas Fort
Worth in the culture of the city, like there's not
it's you go to a lot of the cities on
the East Coast and there's a big, rich history because

(01:12:54):
those we have been here forever and they've just grown
and there everyone's on top of each other. You know,
this is so big and sprawling.

Speaker 1 (01:13:02):
I do know this.

Speaker 4 (01:13:03):
The thing that I like about our culture here that's
not everywhere is people are mostly kind and nice. Like
I like the people Like we would go to New
York when the Rangers were playing the Yankees and we
would try to do Man on the street stuff and
interview people. They want no part of talking to you.
They think it's a setup, like who sent you over here?

(01:13:23):
Like why are you talking to me? I'm not talking
to you. No, get that out of my face, you know.
And here it's like you're standing next to somebody in
line at like the grocery store, and you're instantly best
friends or whatever. I think people for the most part
are nice here to strangers. Okay, let me throw this
out here. This is a Dallas site. I think he
went to Kimball High School. He lives in La now.

(01:13:44):
But you've seen him. Even if you don't know his name,
you've seen him. You've probably seen him. The movie I
always think of is Groundhog Day.

Speaker 1 (01:13:51):
He's in that.

Speaker 4 (01:13:52):
He was in California cation. I didn't see it, but
apparently he was in Freaky Friday, and since Freaky or
Friday is coming out, they just interviewed him in the
Morning News. But it's Steven Toboleski, Like, if you see
a picture of me, oh, I know that dude. But anyways,
they asked him this question, this Dallas culture question. He said,

(01:14:13):
because he went to SMU that's where he went to college,
and he's probably in his sixties. Maybe he might be yeah,
he's I'm sure he's in his sixties.

Speaker 1 (01:14:21):
He said.

Speaker 4 (01:14:21):
There were so many young writers when I was in
Dallas at school, and they stayed writers their entire life,
creating things. There were ideas coming out of people's heads.
Culture comes in a lot of forms. Dallas certainly a
business center, but it also has art. I get people
from Dallas texting me every year saying, we're doing a
project in Dallas. Would you be a part of it.
He's like, when I'm free, I come back. So they

(01:14:42):
followed up and said, how would you describe Dallas to
people who have never been here?

Speaker 1 (01:14:45):
I really like think about this.

Speaker 4 (01:14:47):
People are walking fast, they're not lazy, they're doing stuff.
Dallas is a town for doers and not just for watchers.
And I thought, you know what, man, there's a lot
of different things we can talk about, but it is.
It's not like a hustle bustle kind of vibe like
a New York or a Chicago. But there is always

(01:15:09):
something going on in people trying to start stuff and
make something big happen.

Speaker 1 (01:15:13):
I like that Doers doers. That's probably good way.

Speaker 4 (01:15:15):
It's not just watchers. And in the case of Christina,
my god, she walks so fast.

Speaker 1 (01:15:20):
Yeah, I was.

Speaker 4 (01:15:21):
I was looking up, like, what is the culture of
all the major major cities, and so let's just talk
about that real quick, Okay, what is the culture of
New York City? New York is the city that never sleeps,
the hustle and bustle, people scramble.

Speaker 1 (01:15:35):
It's uh.

Speaker 4 (01:15:36):
And it's also like every like every block is a
new part of the world where someone lives.

Speaker 1 (01:15:41):
This is what I This is what it said me
said to me when I looked it up on the
inner Web.

Speaker 4 (01:15:45):
Fast, ambitious, diverse, always hustling, culture of grind, fashion, finance,
and a little bit of rudeness worn as a.

Speaker 1 (01:15:51):
Badge of honor. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:15:52):
Absolutely, la image driven, creative, laid back yet status conscious,
entertainment industry, corps, car culture, wellness, trends, and relentless sunshine. Yeah,
and that's a really I think that's an interesting thing too.
Like you talk about Dallas, you start talking about culture, man,
Dallas has a very very strong Latino culture that if

(01:16:13):
you're you know, if you're a Hispanic, you probably talk
about that that's what represents you. But in the mainstream
it's not talked about LA is the same way. They've
got this amazing Chicano culture with low riders and tattoos.

Speaker 1 (01:16:26):
And music that go along with it. That's a big
part of LA, but it's not listed there.

Speaker 4 (01:16:31):
Chicago blue collar pride meets big city sophistications, strong sports loyalty,
food obsession, and resilient in bad weather. I was going
to say, I think it's one of the greatest food
cities I've ever been to, So food's got to be
a part of it. Washington, DC politically obsessed, status conscious
and transient mix of policy wonks, diplomats and idealists colliding

(01:16:51):
with bureaucracy.

Speaker 1 (01:16:52):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (01:16:53):
Miami flashy, multicultural. And then you get to Dallas and
it says business forward, sports craze and outwardly friends with
an undercurrent of competitiveness, big on growth, suburban sprawl and
everything's bigger energy.

Speaker 1 (01:17:06):
That is exactly right.

Speaker 3 (01:17:07):
We're growers, not showers.

Speaker 5 (01:17:09):
Hey.

Speaker 1 (01:17:10):
Christina ends it with the line of the day.

Speaker 4 (01:17:13):
Well, uh, this is on our social media, so go
in the comment section and tell us what you think
about all this. We'll be back tomorrow. We have a
pack of Ranger tickets every day this week. So we'll
be listening for that. I'll never forget the time KT
got to interview Hulk Cogan. He looked him dead in
the eye and he said, bank people who know how
to code, I think they can.

Speaker 1 (01:17:34):
Do some stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:17:35):
And then Hulk said, brother, you ain't got a lot
to offer. Uh, Christina, are you gonna stick around and play.

Speaker 3 (01:17:40):
Music till ten o'clock?

Speaker 1 (01:17:42):
Christina's next right here on the Eagle. Here you going, Well,
I'm gonna get my sock back, dude,
