By the way.

Speaker 4 (01:27):
On the iHeart salespeople were like Hey, you guys need
to turn in some some clients that you'd like to
work with, some some things you'd like to endure.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
I know where you're going, Velvet Taco.

Speaker 4 (01:36):
I forgot to tell you I met your homie from
Velvet Taco at Rollertown.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Oh is that right?

Speaker 4 (01:40):
Yeah, he's not with him anymore. This seems like a
real personal conversation.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Hey, that's what we do. But it's all it's personal.
Up with you on that.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
We are the world famous Ben and skin Show for
now weekdays three to six right here at ninety seven
point one the Eagle. I'm Ben Rogers, joined by Jeff
skin Wad, Kevin k t Teardown Turner, the Pride and
Joy of Only Texas, and Christina k Ray little Baby
Cornbread Ray from Crandall b Cornbread. Christina, how are you
doing out at the studio a little partner.

Speaker 5 (02:08):
I'm fantastic. I believe I'm the only one here in
the entire building.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Really.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
Our sales team loves to be up there grinding on
a Friday.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Are you sure about that?

Speaker 6 (02:20):
You know what?

Speaker 7 (02:21):
I did not go to the sales pit, so yeah
they could.

Speaker 4 (02:23):
Okay, I can't tell you how many Wednesdays. I've been
in the kitchen area, and everyone in sales is like
four day weekend for the eighth consecutive week.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
No one's ever said that out loud.

Speaker 4 (02:34):
By the way, when I worked in sales, yep, my
fantasy teams were so good, I said, dude, I could
have run a professional franchise.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
I was in a league that had offensive linemen in it.
I was in one of those leaders where.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
You had every position and all I did all day
was fake work and then occasionally churned out a sales deal.
But man, if you want me to be at work
in my cubicle, I'm gonna be fake working.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Okay, I got to bring Christina and Kat.

Speaker 4 (03:02):
I'm sorry to hijack the segment out know what you
had planned here, but I want you to I want
you to think about how long you've worked with Ben.
What you know about Ben when he was at KTVT
and this he was selling TV advertising and this is.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
The high roll in days.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
I mean, he's got like five lexuses and you know,
a different one for every day of the week. Ben
had a full time sales assistant, Jamie James.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
One of them.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
Yeah, it was awesome. She reached out recently Jamie Baldwin. Yeah,
she's bad ass, awesome. She looked like she could hoop. Yeah,
I think she want that.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
She's from Kansas. She was a basketball player, I think.

Speaker 6 (03:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (03:35):
But anyways, so, so you know, Ben would show up somewhere,
he'd have his sales assistant with him, and so it
was so amazing he just had an assistant at all times.
So as he was doing his fantasy team, he was
having the assistant go out and find the resources for
his fantasy team. All right, So as we're getting nostalgic
here and we're looking back because of the I don't

(03:55):
know the weight of the moment.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
It's significant.

Speaker 4 (03:58):
We don't know what are we don't know what the
future holds, but I do want to go back in time.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Isn't it fun to go back in time a little bit? Yeah,
look at the sky.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
And so right around the time that I was at
KTVT making the most money I had ever made.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
At that point, I was selling television advertising. So rich.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
Keep in mind, we dropped out of college to be rappers.
Really terrible decision. And as Skin said, you know, we
realized later we didn't have to drop out of college.
We could have been rappers and still gone to college.
I thought it was a prerequisite that you dropped out
of college of.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Midday rap shows during class. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:34):
So anyways, by the time I graduated from college at
the University of North Texas, it was ten years after
we graduated from high school. So we graduated in eighty nine.
I graduated from college in ninety nine. And you know,
we grew up in Richardson and went to Burtner And
so the first job I got, I got super lucky,
and I got a job selling television advertising and it

(04:56):
was at k Star forty nine, working for the Great
rick Mill Powerhouse station. K Star forty nine was a
brand new concept from USA Broadcasting. The idea was you
would get the sports rights to teams and you'd air sports,
you know, like NBA games, But when you weren't airing
NBA games, you aired like Andy Griffith over and over
and over and over and over and wait, here's a

(05:17):
fun fact for Christina because she's partied with him. They
would do the pregame show for the Mavericks out of Miami,
and the host was friend of the Siroys and Timberwolves
play by play guy Dave.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Ben dropped his fish.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
So when when Ben had Dave Ben's over for Thanksgiving,
oh my, that was the origin of all that.

Speaker 5 (05:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
So basically we were at Kstar and that kind of
led to us getting into media and whatnot. But later
after that I ended up getting a job at KTVT. Specifically,
what I want to do is tell the story because
since you brought it up, yep, I went all these
years being broke and making no money and then you know,
watching people that we graduated with go out and get

(05:58):
professional jobs and do really well. So I did what
everybody does once you finally start making money, is I
overcompensated and spent way beyond my means.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
They call it show boating.

Speaker 4 (06:07):
And so I remember this one time we were going
out to the ticket and I gave you a treasure
ride right with me, Kat. Yeah, And I was thinking
about leasing a Lexus and it was the big body,
fat ass wide bitch a Lexus, the biggest nicest today
and they had that's what they actually marketed, as he describes,
a wild buddy bitch. Yeah, and I remember that the

(06:28):
it was like a nine and fifty dollars lease payment,
and it was you didn't even own it in the
early two thousands, and it was like twenty.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
Years ago, leasing a car for almost a grand a month.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
And I remember I remember when skinned I was like,
he was like, why do you have this?

Speaker 1 (06:44):
I was like, well, it's a test drive. They give
it to me for the weekend, and you knew what
was going to happen, Like there, I was going to
go past the weekend. My friend. I think the back
seats had air conditioning in the seats. It was nice.

Speaker 4 (06:54):
We were thinking about sub letting the back seat to
just live in there. The other thing in that time
period when I wasted so much money, it was way
before I had kids, and I've told this story before.
I decided, man, I need to have a saltwater aquarium.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Yeah, you do.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
And so we put a saltwater aquarium in the house.
And I don't know if we got people listening who've
ever done that. That's the most expensive hobby ever you
have the saltwater aquarium. It's a little it's a big,
old ecosystem, and if anything goes wrong in there, everything dies. Yeah,
And you got to pay people to come out and
do the maintenance on it and stuff, and you get
used to keep buy some algae, Buy a fish, Buy

(07:31):
some alergie, buy a fish.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
How do I make this more interesting?

Speaker 4 (07:33):
You spend your whole life at this fish store buying, Oh,
I think this one, Oh, this one looks like nemo,
and you keep buying all these things.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
You got to make sure they all work together.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
And if you put an aggressive fish in there, one
of them, it makes them all on edge and aggressive,
and they can stress out and die. And so one
day I'm at the fish store and I'm like, oh,
what's this? Is that an eel?

Speaker 2 (07:53):
What is that?

Speaker 4 (07:53):
And it was a little baby shark swimming around in
an empty aquarium. There's no rocks or anything for it
hide behind, and it was just this little rock, a little shark,
and it had a big head on it, but the
back end it was tiny, so it really wasn't a
big shark, but it kind of looked intimidating in the
front half. And I was like, oh, yeah, I gotta
have that. Will that work in my quam in there?
At sales guys, absolutely, I'm like, well, I didn't tell

(08:15):
you the other fish I got. He said, Noah, it'll work.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
It's the most expensive fish we have. It'll work. So
I buy.

Speaker 4 (08:21):
I'd already stocked up my saltwater querium with like twenty
different expensive fish and then I get this little shark.
They pop it in that tank and I'm like, oh,
we got a shark, let's go stare at the aquarium.
And it was always hiding so you never could see it.
I don't even know where it was in there. And
every night that shark would have an expensive sushi dinner.
It would eat like a thirty five dollars yellow tang

(08:43):
dinner and I'm like, wait, where's the yellow Tang? And
it's like, oh, no, that shark, and he's eliminating all
my investments in the rest of the aquarium.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
And it was essentially just like that lease.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
It was like taking a big pile of money, putting
it in a fireplace and setting it on fire. I
have heard there therapists tell their patients it's honestly better
for you to have a cocaine habit than have us
all on a clear m That's what I would recommend
if you're going to do so well.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
We are off and running and we're in our feels.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
We just don't really know what the future holds, but
we do know that we love doing the show, and
we hope we get to keep doing it. And today
we're broadcasting from our favorite place in the world, the
Chalk Talk Casino and Resora and Durant, Oklahoma. We got
an action packed presentation for us. In fact, I want
to tease a couple of things ahead. Christina, what's coming
up at three forty four in the Cookie.

Speaker 5 (09:31):
Jar, I have an Ozzy Osbourne theme Haunted House to
tell you guys about.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
Oh that's juicy.

Speaker 4 (09:36):
That's coming up down the road, but coming up next
to special guest joins us live from Chalkdaup before we
get there. Thinking of Frankl and Frankel. They are awesome
partners of ours as well. Frankl and Frankel, they're phenomenal
lawyers and what they'll do is represent you. If you've
been involved in a wreck that's not your fault, call
the Frankels from the scene two one, four, three, three,
three thirty three, thirty three, Mark and Scott Frankel and

(09:57):
Jean Burquette, those are the three partners there. You see
them win these awards in d magazine, highly prestigious awards
best lawyers in town. They win lots of awards like that,
But that's not really what they're all about. Sure, that's
great that they win those awards. Some are voted on
by customers and clients, some are voted on by their peers,
which speaks volumes either way.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
But they handled my case. I called them from the scene.

Speaker 4 (10:16):
They fought the other side, set up MRIs x ray's
physical therapy, and at the end of it all, Franklin
frankl got me a nice cash settlement.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yes, here's the deal.

Speaker 4 (10:23):
They're going to go to work for you immediately without
any any out of pocket expenses, like men was talking about.
They go to work for you and they're going to
get compensated out of the settlement that they get for you,
which they're going to fight to get you the biggest
settlement possible.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
They take good care of you.

Speaker 4 (10:37):
They're basically advocates for injury victims, and they've been doing
this over three decades, so they know what to do,
how to do it, and they're going to look after you.
Call two one four or eight one seven in all
threes three three, three thirty three thirty three. Call them
as soon as you're involved in erect get them on
the case, get them on your side. It's Franklin Frankel,
chosen by the people and feared by the insurance companies.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
FI NK E L call Frankel first.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
Ah.

Speaker 4 (11:04):
Yes, another beautiful ballad right here on ninety seven one
The Eagle, Ben and Skin Show Live from the chok
Tawk Casino and Resort in Durant, Oklahoma. Now we do
have guns and Roses tickets to give away today, so
be listening for your chance to win those. But then
you know the drill whenever we come out here, whenever
we do our show from out here, we're post up
right outside District Hall. That's where they have the good

(11:26):
food options. Ben was just over there Raven about velvet
taco a second ago because that's his jam. And then
we're right in front of the League, which is the
super cool Giant Sports Bar, which when World Cup.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
Was going on.

Speaker 4 (11:37):
Remember when we did that show out here, we had
the games on the screen.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
It was unreal.

Speaker 4 (11:42):
But one of the best parts coming out here is
because of who is sitting to your left right now, Ben,
look at that right Look at that guy right there.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
Look at that guy. Look at that guy.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
Ladies Thomas O's Ollivan Thomas's head of all marketing out
here at the chalk Taw Casino Resort.

Speaker 6 (11:56):
Owly to gentlemen, it's a pleasure to be back with
you guys today. How are we feeling out here?

Speaker 1 (11:59):
I'm high, dude, I'm high. There's no place we'd rather be.

Speaker 4 (12:03):
And when we're here posted up doing our show on
Fridays from the chalk Taw Casino on Resort Rant, Oklahoma,
we're placed, you.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
Know, right outside District Hall, right next.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
To the League, the coolest sports bar ever, and we're
right by the elevators where people parking at parking garage,
And so we get to watch people's looks on their
faces as the stress of the work week drifts away
and fades away, and they walk into the fun factory
that is the casino, smoke free, fresh air, table games,

(12:33):
the slot machines, magnificent times, and you just see the
look on people's faces.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
They're all so happy.

Speaker 6 (12:39):
Oh yeah, there's a different vibe when you're getting to
a casino on Friday. You're rolling in, You've got your
bag behind you, and you're just coming for a good time.
You got two pools to choose from bowling alley arcades,
thousands and thousands of slot machines like, it's a great time.
You really can't beat it.

Speaker 4 (12:54):
It is a great time, and it's close enough to
the dfdub where you can just head up right quick
and do uspur the moment, Dan. But it is great
to plan something out, and I think the best thing
to plan out is to plan it out around a
show that you guys have coming in because y'all get
all kinds of different acts. It's not just one musical style,
so there's literally something for everybody. But that Grand Theater

(13:15):
is one of the best music venues I've ever been to.
You know, the cliche ab out there's not a bad
seat in the house. People thought that that's true with
that the way they have it built, the way you
guys have it built, the curve of the seats, and
in the sound we saw black keysers unreal. So I'm
baiting the hook here, We're what are we doing? What's
coming up soon?

Speaker 6 (13:31):
Well, first I got to tell you it's a two
million dollar Panther sound system in that room. Wow, top notch.
It actually is part of the reason we just won
our fourth Academy of Country Music.

Speaker 1 (13:40):

Speaker 4 (14:47):
Sorry about skin Okay, okay, So I do want to
ask you about this too. So I'm not I'm not
throwing shade at it anywhere else. But every once in
a while, you get a group of guys and they
are like, Hey, we're going to Vegas.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
Let's go do Vegas.

Speaker 4 (14:59):
And so we went there not too long ago, went
with a group of guys that grew up with and
I'm kind of spoiled now because the rooms here are
so freaking nice. And in my mind I was like,
wait a second, are the rooms at the nicest hotels
in Vegas? Are they toe to toe? Put chalk taw?
And man, I give the advantage to you, guys. I
got the rooms here in this what is this? Is

(15:20):
it the sky Tower?

Speaker 6 (15:22):
The sky Tower is the one that you guys normally
stay in, and that's here on the non smoking floor
on the south side, and then we have two more
towers on the north side. The Grand Tower was just
renovated a year and a half ago, so brand new rooms.
There are spat towers up next, so we're gonna have
three beautiful towers, all on non above, non smoking gaming
floor so you don't get the smoke smell up in
your room. It's really a blast and I really appreciate that. Like, guys,

(15:42):
I've done this for twenty plus years. I've heard casinos
across the country literally coast to coast, and this place
really has it all. Like we have that motto getaway
to it all for a reason. We've got everything you want.
But those rooms, I would put them up against any
room across the country.

Speaker 4 (15:56):
Yes, it's the Montelis of casino resorts, Choctaw True.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
Has it all all all? Right? Before we let you bounce, Thomas?

three millionaires, three millionaires three months giveaway coming up August

this before, so you definitely want to join us. It's
your last chance to be a millionaire. We've got literally
a Tropical Paradise. You guys have been to the pool, right, yeah,
just up the highway, Tropical Paradise. And then you join
us August twenty second, you get all of that along
with a chance to win one million dollars. It's not
a gimmick, it's not a share of It is one person,
one million dollars. It is always a good time.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
We have so much fun. There's something going on.

Speaker 6 (16:32):
Literally every single casino floor has some kind of activation,
handing out swag. We've got a party going all over
the floor. And then at one am I get to
get on stage. I make somebody a millionaire, and it
is such a rewarding feeling, incredible. And then this year
we added another piece where I'm doing another two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars, drawing me at two am. So
if you join us and you stick around till two

million dollars. And we're still doing the donation piece. So

(16:55):
somebody whoever our winner is for the million dollars, gets
to choose the charity of their choice. I'm gonna give
them ten thousand dollars. That's great, giving back to the
DFW in our winters communities. It's a great feeling and
it's a great way to just bring it all home.

Speaker 4 (17:30):
Ben?

Speaker 1 (17:30):
What are people really watching on TV? Next?

Speaker 4 (17:33):
One?

Speaker 1 (17:33):
Nice? Every one day?

Speaker 4 (17:34):
It is the world famous Ben and Skin Show. We're
at the Chalk Talk Casino and Resort in Durant, Oklahoma.
We were just having a conversation about van Halen. Yeah,
which is pretty normal Friday afternoon for me and you
and I don't know what it is. Maybe it's just okay.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
What yeared? Was van Halen at his Peak or The
Exploding The Three.

Speaker 4 (17:57):
That album came out eighty four, So in nineteen eighty four,
I was fourteen years old.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (18:03):
And you talk about learning things in the formative years,
like your comedy sensibi, comedic sensibilities are formed in the
movies yep, during that age yep. And so for me,
Van Halen was like, I have the story where we
snuck out at night and we walked from Richardson to
the ticket master at like what street was that at?
It was like, we're next to Brad Sham's Big League Thread. Yeah,
that's like is it Walnut I think Walnut Hill In's

(18:25):
seventy five. Yeah, so think about that. That's fourteen years old.
I'll just get across the going and I'll see how
I'll just do the miles. Right, There's something matter. There's
something about van Halen to me that is rebellious rock.
It's outlaw and you have this sense that you know,
when you're that age and you've only seen you know,

(18:47):
Bo Derek or whatever on TV, You're like, dude, I
listen to this music. I think I might get some.
Now you're not going to get any based on my
based on the way it went for me, but that
music represented an edge or a rock element to it
that made you think I might actually get some you won't,
but still, I don't know. There's something there's something about
peak era van Halen that really resonates with me. So

(19:09):
what Ben's talking about is when he was a kid,
he snuck out and walked eight miles through through two
probably three different neighborhoods in city streets to go get
those van Halen tickets and think about how the interesting
this is. Van Halen peaked in nineteen eighty four, probably
so did Ben.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
I did too.

Speaker 4 (19:26):
That was my best year. Yeah, In fact, some say
eighty five. I had some peak good moments in early
eighty five.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yeah, have a huge Bears.

Speaker 4 (19:35):
Actually the Bears took over for him, and then he
went down on a downward spiral. It was playing Techmobil
in eighty six using the eighty five Bears, and that
was a good year for me as well.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
But right now it's time for this.

to nineteen eighty four that made you think, I mean
I had that out four when you were fourteen, when
you were fourteen, and like twenty eleven, whatever it was
where you're fourteen and it's edgy, it feels outlaw, your
parents probably don't like it.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
It's in your wheelhouse, and it makes you think you
might get some two thousand and two. Yeah, not really.
This for you was the Backstreet Boys.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
This didn't have a lot of good radio stations and
stuff while.

Speaker 4 (20:26):
You're up and did you really think you could get
one of the Backstreet Boys when you listened to them?

Speaker 1 (20:32):
I was ten years late on everything. Yeah, everything that
was released like it was ten years late. Okay, But

the shows on MTV.

was like an eighth or ninth grader, and I remember
going to basketball camp in sixth grade at SMU and
in the lobby they had MTV on yeah, and I
remember just wanting to just be in the lobby and
watch MTV twenty four hours because like we didn't have it.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (21:02):
Uh, Christina, when you're fourteen, was there some sort of
a band that you were way into that like still
holds a special place in your heart even all these
years later.

it was right when I discovered Zeppelin. But right before Zeppelin,
it was simple Plan. You'll know that, Oh, simple minds,
Simple minds, Old Plan.

Speaker 5 (23:50):
So Universal Studios has something called Halloween Horror Nights that
they do every year both in Orlando and Hollywood, and
this year they're debuting and Ozzy Osbourne themed haunted house
just called Prince of Darkness.

Speaker 7 (24:05):
Now there's a trailer for this.

Speaker 5 (24:07):
Over on YouTube, so you can get kind of a
sneak peek, and it looks so awesome. It's just one
of several haunted houses that they're gonna have. They have
an Evil Dead themed one as well, Stranger Things, Hell Raiser,
even Sinners. They all look so cool. So I kind
of need to go, at least to Orlando. It's just
an excuse to go to Florida. But the description for

(24:27):
this Ozzy Osbourne one is Ozzy's shocking image was as
haunting as his heavy metal hits. Now you'll enter the
Prince of Darkness's kingdom where music and mayhem collide.

Speaker 7 (24:37):
And everything's gone off the rails.

Speaker 5 (24:39):
Ah and they're gonna have music from six of his
solo records throughout it. And again there's a trailer on
YouTube if you want to check it out.

Speaker 7 (24:47):
Pretty cool.

Speaker 4 (24:48):
So quick question, I may not say that in there,
So it's just Ozzie's solo. We're not gonna get near
of the Sabbath stuff.

Speaker 7 (24:52):
No, I don't believe. So it's just Ozzy Osbourne because.

Speaker 4 (24:56):
Don't you feel like we need some iron Man or
paranoid in our haunted house, Like, wouldn't that be perfect?

Speaker 7 (25:00):
I agree, But it doesn't say it's all his solo stuff.
It's not any Yeah, sadess, I mean bargat the moon,
barg at the Moon, no more tears.

Speaker 8 (25:09):
You open the door and you're walking down some creaking
stairs to the tone of Iron Man.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
I can envision it.

Speaker 8 (25:16):
He's got a situation going where he died, and we're
getting more Ozzy.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
Stories after he died.

Speaker 8 (25:21):
A lot of people will just die and then you
remember them seven years later because you on the air
thought they were still alive and it turns out they
were dead.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Yeah, we're getting tons of Ozzy post mortem.

Speaker 4 (25:32):
He's a very hard worker and he's still working in
his death to crank out the kind of contact.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
He's a ghost.

Speaker 4 (25:39):
You have some sort of a tie in with haunted houses,
like a lot of local haunted houses will come to
you to endorse them. Yes, and you'll go there with
the great Mike Siroy and he'll just be there by
your side without even getting a talent fee and you
are Do you get extra scared in those what is
your haunted.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
House tie in?

Speaker 5 (25:55):
I honestly I hate them, but like I forced myself
to go. I'm like, this is a fear of yours.
Just embrace it and go for it, because it does
end up being really fun. Like there's this weird fun
element of being scared out of your mind, but you
have to remind yourself this is a haunted house.

Speaker 7 (26:11):
They're not going to actually do anything to you.

Speaker 4 (26:14):
So yeah, it's a lot like coming to work with
us every day, like, yeah, fear it, you don't want
to do it, You finally just do it and it
works out just fine.

Speaker 7 (26:21):
Just force yourself every day and it ends up being
kind of fun.

Speaker 4 (26:24):
You think we're going to do something to you, but
Ben always pulls back at the last minute.

Speaker 7 (26:30):

Back to the Ben and Skin Show on ninety seven
to one the Eagle.

Speaker 4 (28:45):
All right, this is the world famous Ben and Skin
Show ninety seven point one the Eagle, and we're super
happy to be out at the Chalk Talk Casino on
Resort and Durant, Oklahoma. Man on a day like today,
on a Friday, you know we're wrapping up July. Maybe
we're wrapping up even more than that. I do know
that I am incredibly grateful that I get to come

(29:08):
to work and laugh with people that I love and
enjoy and and tell fart jokes and hang out. And
I'm super grateful for everyone who makes us a part
of their routine. And no matter what happens to us
in our future, in our radio future, this has been
one hell of a ride.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
I agree, Ben.

Speaker 8 (29:25):
Yesterday when we were listening to that audio of country
music star Trace Adkins' second wife shooting him, it really
was meaningful and impactful for me because I've decided to
live my life each day with unbounding curiosity moving forward.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
Yeah, because yeah, who knows your second wife could just
shoot you? That trace Atkins is that that's where it's
like me so pin evdegat Oh he's not like a
pig in that first one hanging out in cage.

Speaker 6 (29:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Anyways, man, it's been a hell of a run. Look
at freak Jesus, he's.

Speaker 4 (30:03):
Here of him the Gorilla Bump podcast. A lot of
rumors that they could replace us, so that gonna happen.
Some radio musical chairs could always happen, so keep an
eye on that as that develops. But I think, no
matter what, this will be the last day of July
that we're broadcasting in. I think that's for this year.

(30:24):
That goes without saying, but I will say this. You've
been on thin ice personally, yep, And based on how
some of these discussions have been going, I wouldn't be
shocked to see you not allowed to participate in radio
for the foreseeable future.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
You can speculate on that all you want.

Speaker 4 (30:46):
Just know that I am a very savvy guy, and
before I ever get fired, I will immediately go in
before they can fire me and say I have a
substance abuse problem. I need help, and then hold on,
you're fired. I'm very difficult to fire at that point.
And I'm going to say and hey, I'm pretty sure
I developed it during meetings that were mandated by the

(31:09):
company and the company.

Speaker 8 (31:11):
Is famous for using their resources to support the support staff.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
Yeah, yeah, everyone, that's never my heart. And then I'm
going to be like, now, what did you guys call
me in here for?

Speaker 4 (31:20):
Yeah, KT's been fired already from here at least once.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
Yeah, for a couple of days. Your card still doesn't work,
does it?

Speaker 6 (31:27):
No?

Speaker 1 (31:27):
No, no, I had to get a new one that
says I heart guest on it.

Speaker 4 (31:32):
His email address is Kevin Turner again at the heartmedia
dot com.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
It was pretty fun, though.

Speaker 8 (31:40):
It's pretty fun to go into any meeting and be like,
remember when I heard fired me, how are you guys
doing today?

Speaker 1 (31:44):
And they go did you so? Did you get fired?

Speaker 4 (31:48):
And then immediately have to go meet back with the
same people and they were enthusiastic about your rehiring.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
It was really crazy.

Speaker 8 (31:54):
I had my box at craft in the parking garage,
like wait, my first day as a free man off
with no job unemployed.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
And I was playing golf and I got a textas said,
do you want to come back up here? I'm playing
golf right now. We have a packet we need you
to fill out. I could use the money. I guess.

Speaker 4 (32:15):
We gotta do the show today, or what's kind of
our plan or just kind of winging it just because
there's so much in the air.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
What's in the air?

Speaker 4 (32:22):
What are you talking about? Like a like a stink
Like I feel it in the air tonight, you know,
like I could feel it's a thing. You still don't
know who I am? Right right, I've been there before.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
What is that song about? Kevin?

Speaker 2 (32:38):
Do you know?

Speaker 1 (32:38):
Really? I thought it was about some man that he
had scorned or something.

Speaker 6 (32:42):
No.

Speaker 4 (32:42):
I thought it was like, Okay, one guy drowned, drowned
it down, man, hey trace one guy drownded.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
I thought it was I thought it was a guy drowned.

Speaker 4 (32:56):
And Phil Collins watched as another I let him drown
and didn't go save him. Phil was too far away
to save him himself. But he saw what the guy did.
He saw that he with his own two eyes. So
so do you know what that song is about? That
song is about all of us watching Breaking Bad when

(33:17):
he watched and let that girl. Oh right right, Christina,
do you have I can feel it in the air
tonight by the great Phil Collins.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
Don't don't play it? Hold on, need to go, don't
play it. I want to podcast a segment. What ad
the drownded moment? I don't want to lose it? Christina?
Could you dig through Spotify for a little while while
we fan? I can't tell you this.

Speaker 8 (33:39):
I said that the song is about anger, bitterness, and
the heavy anticipation of a final confrontation during his painful
divorce from his first wife.

Speaker 4 (33:49):
Oh, it's about divorce. His wife watched a man drown.
Pull up the lyrics so we can't get the sound.
Just pull up the lyrics and then sing him for
the Eagle listeners. Please wow man, Thank you Trey, and
as you as you sing it, I bot Christina to
make Trey Sad get his pick sound.

Speaker 3 (34:05):
You can.

Speaker 4 (34:05):
You just go through the lyrics for the Eagle listener
and then one last and then during the big drum fill,
I'll punch bed like Mike Tyson did.

Speaker 8 (34:13):
And uh, I can feel it coming in the air tonight,
And I've been waiting for this moment, for all my life.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
Oh Lord, can you feel it coming in the air tonight?

Speaker 6 (34:22):
O Lord?

Speaker 1 (34:23):
O Lord, Well, if.

Speaker 8 (34:24):
You told me you were drowning, I would not lend
a hand. I've seen your face before, my friend, but
I don't know if you know who I am. Well,
I was there and I saw what you did. I
saw it with my own two eyes. Damn, you can
wipe off that, but I'll wipe off that grin.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
I know where you be. I know where you be.

Speaker 4 (34:45):
All right, I should have been sacked.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
You should have done so well. I remember, I remember.
Don't worry.

Speaker 8 (34:53):
How could I ever forget. It's the first time, the
last time we ever met. But I know the reason
why you kept your silence up. No, you don't fool me.
Well the her does it show? But the pain still grows.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
Yeah, like a like a dog. It's no stranger to
you and me.

Speaker 8 (35:05):
And then.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
Cocking feel it co in in the air.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
Nack for this moment.

Speaker 4 (35:27):
And that was the four o'clock second. It's a bit
in Skin Show ninety seven point one the Eagle. What's
coming up next?

Speaker 1 (35:33):
In sports? Ktie Rangers are in first place? That sounded
game or would you watch this movie.

Speaker 4 (35:40):
Okay, mister, you're an adventure book, ye before we get there.
Don't choose your own adventure. When it comes to heating
and air conditioning companies make it easy on yourself.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
Go with the Reliant air Conditioning. They do it gimmick free.

Speaker 4 (35:52):
You know, it's important for all of us to get
tune ups on our air conditioning system. It's like an
oil change in your vehicle before you go on a
road trip. You know, if you don't change your oil
in your car, eventually the engine goes out on you.
Someone for your air conditioning system. Routine maintenance can extend
the life of your air conditioning system. And once it's
one hundred and twenty seven degrees in Dallas Fort Worth,
like it always is this time of year, your AC

(36:13):
is working overtime, be sure to call Reliant air Conditioning
to do a basic tune up. And when they send
somebody to your house, it will be a technician, not
a commissioned salesperson. And that's the Reliant air Conditioning difference. Yeah,
and look, they're focused on customer service. They're focused on
making you feel comfortable both with the air conditioning as
well as with their service and they've been doing this

(36:34):
since eighty three. So that's what it means when we
say gimmick free since ati three, focusing in on taking
care of people, being transparent with their pricing, and they
have the abilities because of their relationships with the manufacturers.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
They can combine different rebates and things.

Speaker 4 (36:48):
This last round there where you could get a new
unit and say fifty seven hundred dollars on it because
they were combining four different programs that they have access to.

Speaker 1 (36:58):
All of this is and again, this is why.

Speaker 4 (37:00):
They encourage you to get quotes from their competitors, because
they want you to see the difference. They want you
to know what you're buying, and that's why they never
sent a salesperson to do a technician's job. It's your
friends at Relyant air Conditioning eight seven seven your hero
that's eight seven seven nine six eight seven four three
seven or check them out online at Reliant air Conditioning
dot com. All right, it's submitted skins showing we're back

(37:29):
after wackiness. Don't forget sometime in the next hour and
a half.

Speaker 1 (37:33):
You'll have a chance to win guns and Roses tickets.

Speaker 4 (37:37):
I want to ask you guys a question, right quick,
that's not related to the Rangers at Do have anything
else you want to say about the Rangers?

Speaker 1 (37:41):
Before I asked this question, Rangers, would you trade Corey Seeker? Nah?
I think you can get a vacuum back for him,
all right, but could you play that vacuum a short?

Speaker 2 (37:52):
Right?

Speaker 1 (37:53):
You know what I'm saying? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (37:54):
Interesting?

Speaker 1 (37:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (37:55):
What if you had an incredible fielder and he didn't
have an he didn't have arms.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
What if it was Prince Fielder? Okay, that's the old
family guy bit.

Speaker 4 (38:03):
The guy had one arm, but but he had like
the fastest wheels of anybody.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
You feel like we're wasting everyone's time. Okay, So.

Speaker 4 (38:13):
What is too early in the morning to eat cheese ravioli?
I'm talking about like a full bowl of cheese ravioli.
We may have to swap it out for Ben because
he doesn't like pasta and red sauce. But you know
that's that heavy, that heavy of a meal. I used
to love Chef Boy r D back in the day.

Speaker 1 (38:34):
Man, what is too early in the morning?

Speaker 4 (38:37):
Like, and it's delicious, but it's a big plate of
cheese ravioli? What's too early?

Speaker 1 (38:43):
I mean to me, anything before eleven needs to be breakfasty,
I respect that unwritten rule, breakfast law.

Speaker 3 (38:49):
What what?

Speaker 4 (38:50):
What?

Speaker 6 (38:50):
What?

Speaker 1 (38:51):
Because breakfast he can be very heavy too, it can be.
But we're not talking about pasta. What do you what
do you want? Like you're talking about some granola? Maybe
some toast? Yeah, maybe you have a little Greek yog
nola toast?

Speaker 4 (39:04):
Got the things up live over here for Kato? Oh yeah,
that's fair, Christina? What is too early to eat a
big plate of cheese ravioli with Marin Arisauce?

Speaker 5 (39:12):
I thought exactly what Katie said. Anything before eleven am
is way.

Speaker 7 (39:16):
Too early for that.

Speaker 1 (39:17):
I had it at nine point fifty today. Why is
wrong with you? How does that even happen?

Speaker 4 (39:21):
I had because we got a kind of got a
late night meal last night. We bought a bunch of
extra and then we're all leaving town, you know, we're
gonna go to California, and.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
So I was like, okay, well that'll be my lunch tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (39:32):
But I knew the day was going to be really
busy and I probably wouldn't have time to circle back,
and so I was in that in between space and
I actually started to make some eggs and.

Speaker 1 (39:41):
I went, oh, I got this cheese ravioli.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
Yeah, so I.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
Pulled back and I ate a big plate. Why not?

Speaker 4 (39:45):
I mean, you're good. It's gonna go to waste. People
like eating pizza the next day. Okay, is do you
view those two things as the same though both Italian?

Speaker 1 (39:53):
They are both Italian? Yeah, yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 8 (39:56):
It's still frustrating to me, But I understand if you're
saying it was gonna go to waste, just sit in
your house.

Speaker 4 (40:00):
It was gonna go to waste. Yeah, and I bought
it the night before. It was still good. It's delicious.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
I mean some of my favorite favorite cheese raviola.

Speaker 8 (40:07):
You've wiggled your way out of this one. But generally
I would say there's no reason for that. That is
terrible behavior. AELLOI dish.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
Yeah, but he's gonna let it go to waste. Yeah,
no exactly, That's why he was gonna. Okay, right, he
told me. I wiggled my way out of this.

Speaker 4 (40:24):
What is the best Uh, what's the best breakfast food?
If you guys can have anything for breakfast you want,
what are you having?

Speaker 1 (40:31):
New York Strip? Because for me, like I.

Speaker 4 (40:34):
Usually don eat carbs, but we were in New Orlando
for my daughter's basketball tournament, and it was like all
the gloves came off, you know, your diets out the window.
You're on vacation, and I'm like, man, I didn't we
went to places that had pancakes. I'm like, I don't
know if I want a delicious, you know, sweet cake
right now?

Speaker 1 (40:50):
Yeah, that's all it is.

Speaker 4 (40:51):
I usually just want one pancake and I don't want
chocolate chips in it because then it gets everywhere.

Speaker 1 (40:57):
You know.

Speaker 4 (40:57):
I don't want a big stack of pancakes. I want
pancake and I'm good.

Speaker 8 (41:01):
If you want to feel bad for the next twelve hours,
have much pancakes, right.

Speaker 4 (41:06):
Would you rather have a giant stack of pancakes or
some steak and lobster?

Speaker 1 (41:09):
Like a giant stack of pancakes. It was a huge
on steak. Yeah, all right, it's the bit and Skin show.

Speaker 4 (41:15):
We're doing important stuff here on a Friday afternoon to
chok talkas you know in resort and Durant, Oklahoma. We
also have guns n' Roses tickets to give away here
really soon coming up next, I have to find out
because as Ben is having Van Halen nostalgia, if he's
seen this very important movie. What is it? We'll tell
you next Friday. Everybody, big thanks everyone who's reaching out

(41:36):
to us. Just please understand we cannot comment on all
of the rumors, but hey, we appreciate the support. Hope
you have great plans this week and you're going to
be hanging out with people you love spending time with.
We love spending time with each other, and it's always
been a pleasure doing this show for you, and hopefully
we get to continue doing it. I can't say specifically
how that works out for Skin personally, as I feel

(41:56):
like you, you know, like somebody would step up right
now and say something on your behalf, but this might
be the last time you put that headset on.

Speaker 1 (42:05):
I've hedged my bets. I have other options today. It
was coming up in a few minutes, but right now
it's time for this.

Speaker 2 (42:14):
Skin track, another edition of things Skin is Tracking.

Speaker 4 (42:20):
All right, probably my last thing, Skin is Tracking. I
want to give you a text message from my buddy Simon.
Simon is about our age and dude, you know you
think I'm a music nerd where I remember all that
he remembers everything, like every show he's been to, every detail.

Speaker 1 (42:39):
It's unreal.

Speaker 4 (42:40):
So this came in at three forty five. Do you
remember what we were doing at three forty five today? No,
we're talking about our van Halen bember Oh. Yes, saw
van Halen in eighty one and was so blown away
that I convinced my friends to go to the next tour.
Was feeling pretty cool as they marveled at the hundred
drums and amps to the roof of the spectrum.

Speaker 1 (42:59):
He grew up in Philly. Then David Lee Roth came out.

Speaker 4 (43:03):
In Assless Chaps, which still gets brought up when I
see any of those guys. Anyways, hope everything works out,
blah blah, blah, blah blah. But that was his Van
Halen memory was David Lee Roth and assless Chaps, which.

Speaker 1 (43:21):
By the way, the David Lee Roth thing. I hated
to be the bearer of bad news.

Speaker 4 (43:26):
When I stumbled across him doing that performance up brought
the air he's killing it due. Then I ran it
through the ISO audio machine, which basically isolated his lyrics
and really pinpointed how terrible it was. Yeah, and then
immediately after that, Sammy Hagar had a post. I was like, Hey,
we're sorry for David Lee Roth. We heard that the
rest of your tourists canceled. Let's get the band back together,
Let's do some stuff together. You could see the show

(43:49):
definitely not sing, but you could see it and being
the biggest jersus. He was trying to be nice, but
it was like, you see it sing a couple of songs,
there's something, not too many songs, but he was trying
to like extend in all the branch.

Speaker 1 (44:01):
But I think after that audio surfaced like the rest
of his tour was canceled. Oh no, But when he
was performing it, he was having the time of his life.

Speaker 3 (44:11):
Man.

Speaker 1 (44:11):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 4 (44:11):
He was bringing all sorts of sass and facial expressions
to it.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
He was loving it. Just didn't sound right.

Speaker 4 (44:16):
I bet there's old kinds of old people at retirement
homes right now enjoying whatever they're doing, you know what
I'm saying, just bringing it in their mind. They're still
in the same place that they were. Yeah, okay. So
I remember when this movie came out ten years ago
and I didn't see it, and I was very excited
to see it, and then it went away and I

(44:37):
forgot about it and I saw the last thirty minutes
or maybe twenty five minutes of it. The other night,
Richard Linkletter made a movie called Everybody Want Some?

Speaker 1 (44:47):
Do you remember this?

Speaker 3 (44:48):
No?

Speaker 4 (44:49):
I remember the song, but I don't remember then I
remember that, wasn't that same song in the John Cusack movie? Yes,
Better Off Dead? Better Off Dead with the animated handflay
nation Hamburger. Yeah, so Everybody Wants Some great van Halen song.
So the ad and the commercials and all that basically
looked like Dazed and Confused five years later, like not

(45:11):
the same characters, but the era or of early eighties
with van Halen and the premise Everybody Wants Some. It's
a bunch of young guys getting ready to go to college,
and they're all baseball players and they're all just trying
to get ass. Oh, I don't know anything about that,
And so I thought I saw, you know, I broke

(45:32):
my cardinal rule of don't get in on something at
the end. But I hadn't thought about this movie in
ten years. I never saw it when it came out,
and I do love Richard link Letter, so I ended up.
But obviously, can somebody look up what it is on
Rotten Tomatoes? Yeah, So now I've seen the final twenty
minutes of it or twenty five minutes of it, I

(45:52):
know kind of.

Speaker 6 (45:53):
What it is.

Speaker 4 (45:54):
I'm assuming that it got about a thirty two percent
on Rotten Tomatoes. If you think about a Richard link
Letter movie like this that nobody talks about, nobody saw, this.

Speaker 1 (46:03):
Is follow up to Boyhood, I'm guessing no, no, no,
I mean it was.

Speaker 4 (46:07):
It's it's kind of I don't know if you guys
know his story, but he was a pitcher, Richard Linkletter was.
That's why, like you know, in Boyhood, Roger Clemens is
pitching and huh yeah.

Speaker 8 (46:17):
Critics gave it eighty seven percent. Oh, audience gave it
sixty eight percent. I've never heard of this movie.

Speaker 1 (46:22):
Why did it do so poorly with those numbers? It
probably had a tiny budget and they never went to theaters.

Speaker 4 (46:27):
No, though, you know, it's like, yeah, if it's made
for the critics, and that's not going to be a
great you know, financial plan, necessarily, sixty seven is decent.
Sixty seven is decent. That's what I used to say
to my dad in school when I got my grades.

Speaker 8 (46:41):
Yeah good enough, right, yeah, eighty seven percent for the critics. Though,
in nineteen eighty Texas. Where's it at in Texas?

Speaker 4 (46:49):
It's down like I think it's near maybe Houston, or
it's somewhere in between Houston and Austin area. Okay, and
it's you know, it's like remember the hazing scenes in
Days and Confused. They did a thing where they took
the freshman baseball players and they taped him up against
the wall and hit baseball's at him.

Speaker 1 (47:04):
You know, just stuff like that.

Speaker 4 (47:06):
Uh dude, dude tagging all of his you know, blow
hard jock friends to.

Speaker 1 (47:11):
A theater party.

Speaker 4 (47:12):
I mean, it's it's you know, it's just that thing.
But it seemed decent enough. But I was like, man,
this movie went away so fast it must really suck.
But now it's making its way back out on cable.
I think you of old people should give.

Speaker 1 (47:24):
It some burns. Okay, I will. I'll give it a shot.

Speaker 4 (47:25):
I do know that sometimes things circle back around and
for whatever reason, they catch on, whether it's music or whatever.

Speaker 6 (47:32):
It is.

Speaker 4 (47:32):
Like I'll stumble across shows on Netflix that I didn't
know they ever aired anywhere else.

Speaker 1 (47:36):
I'm like, oh, look this is a new show, and
I'll start watching, going this is really good.

Speaker 4 (47:40):
Yeah, you know, there's one that kids are talking about
a lot right now, and it's called The Mentalist, and
I'm taking air aired on CBS, yeah two.

Speaker 1 (47:48):
Thousand and nine.

Speaker 4 (47:49):
Yes, I mean, I've had my kids and multiple friends
of theirs have brought it up, and apparently it's blowing
up on TikTok. Why I don't know, but they're like, ooh,
I got it. Yeah, they were like, oh yeah, British guy.
My son was like, yeah, I gotta watch the Sopranos.
He goes and everyone's talking about The Mentalist.

Speaker 1 (48:05):
I was like, from CBS, Yeah, from Broadcast TV, and
he's like, yeah, it's blowing up right now. I'm like,
what this show started in two thousand and eight? Seriously? Yeah,
which it brings up the age old question.

Speaker 6 (48:16):
I know.

Speaker 4 (48:16):
We got to go with the agent. Why are kids
so dumb? God, it's the world famous Ben and Skin Show.
