Speaker 3 (00:55):
Oh baby, here we go kayt to sting up and.

Speaker 5 (01:03):
Bull Yeah, gosh Shah. Hello and welcome everyone. It's the
world famous Ben and Skin Show. Today's show. Honest, we
continue to focus all of our efforts and energy on
the Kirk County Flood Relief Fund Community Foundation dot Net.
We'll be talking about the flood and the latest news

continually be trying to let you guys know about Community

(01:25):
Foundation dot net. That is a place where you can
go make a donation and we know that it'll make
a difference. All right, fun show planned today though, all
things consider, We're gonna try to take your mind off
whatever else is out there and stressing you out, and
make the workday fly on by always keeping our mind
on Kirk County along the way. Now things skin is
tracking coming up. We're gonna crank up the wayback machine.

(01:47):
We're gonna revisit fifteen years ago is when Lebron made
his decision. We're gonna get into some of that audio.
We got a Hollywood shuffle. We got great stuff coming
your way. I know, I was in the pre show
meeting Ben Rogers, Jeff's and Wade, Kevin k T Turner
and Christina Krie a little baby corn bread ray from
Oatvial Pizza.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
It's gonna be a great show.

Speaker 5 (02:06):
But I do want to say that today is the
first time I've come in to do the show and
as long as I can remember. And I did not
drive my car, and so look we we we endorse
prosper Forward and most of the cars in my family
were purchased from prosper Ford. We have four cars, three
of them were purchased from them. Okay, so but I

(02:29):
have one car that I kind of got, I you know,
I just kind of got stuck in a lease with
it talking about the roles that you've been driving around.
It's it's a foreign car. And so man, I do
look forward to the day that Edwin Rivera can switch
me into a nice forward. But for now, it is
a It is an exotic car. It is a foreign car.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
Right.

Speaker 5 (02:48):
Where is Rolls Royce from and how long have you
been driving? I'm not it's not a Rolls Royce. And
but one time I'll just tell you it's an audi.

Speaker 6 (02:55):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 5 (02:57):
So one time I is So one time I went
in to get an oil change brag. I was like,
I went to one of those five minute oil change places.
I'm like, okay, that sounds good, like the six minute
ab workout.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
I'm like, say you are oil changes.

Speaker 5 (03:17):
Let me go get the fastest oil change I can.
Because I don't have a lot of time for this.
I'm busy counting a bunch of money. And so I
go in to get this oil change and uh, you know,
I wait in line. I pull in, I'm They're like asking.
I could see them calling people over to the front
of my car. I'm still in the driver's seat and
they're calling people over and I'm like They're like, hey,
come look at this, and I'm like, wait, what, Like

(03:39):
had they never seen an Audi engine before? And so
they had to take all these things off, and none
of them knew how to change the oil in my car.
And I think Audi probably are Mercedes or whatever. BMW
probably make it very difficult for basic oil change places
they do.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
As I drove a terrible beat up BMW and no
even then it was yeah, highly cheap, and man, that
car gave me more problems than any car I've ever
had model. Yeah. Don't you guys think though, that's the
reason I only LEAs now. Obviously I don't want to
own a car again after that experience.

Speaker 5 (04:12):
Don't you think car places are doing what Apple does
where they make everything so proprietary to them you don't
go anywhere else Because car places do really well off
their service departments.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
That's where they really do well. It's it's different when
it's a foreign car.

Speaker 5 (04:28):
Yeah, I don't know. Like these guys are like, hey, man,
is this a spice ship? And I'm like they were chanting.
And when they finally put it all back together, the
oil chains was supposed to take five minutes took like
an hour and there were still pieces that they hadn't
put back in my car. And I'm like, all right,
so I'm only going to be able to go to
Audi to get this oil change. So I call it
and I'm like, you know, hey, how long does it

(04:48):
take to get an oil change. They're like, well, you're
gonnaed to drop it off for about two and a
half hours. I'm like, what, Yeah, what happened to the
five minutes? You're from America? So I had to go.
I had to go drop it off, and so I
got an uber ride over here. And lately danger has
been on my mind. Mm hmmm, is that unusual? You
said lately, Yeah, permanently, danger is on your mind. And

(05:10):
while I was getting right over here, sweet lady, get
me right in an uber, Yeah, And she's looking at
me through the rear view mirror. And while I'm in
the back seat and we're making eye contact through her
sunglasses in the rearview mirror, I realized there's a car
turning in front of her.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Like the dumb and dumber. You know, statistics say you
get hit on the way to the airport.

Speaker 5 (05:31):
She's looking She's not looking ahead of her, She's looking
in the rear view mirror at me. Did you got
did you lick your lips when y'all made icntact like government?

Speaker 3 (05:39):
Dude, take a bat, don't she?

Speaker 5 (05:41):
And I'm like, ah, that's a car turning. But then
you're like, do you ruin the rest of the variety
if you overreact to that?

Speaker 3 (05:49):
So I didn't.

Speaker 5 (05:49):
I didn't do anything. And you need to keep your
uber rating up too, dude, So yeah, and I do
need to. And I asked for the five stars. I'm like,
give me five stars. That's incredible thing. So but anyways,
so I get here and I'm like, you know, this
isn't the only danger that I've been witnessing. And yesterday
I accidentally got drawn off sides into a Facebook argument
in my neighborhood. Yes, and it was about people that

(06:11):
these kids are driving these electric motor scooters, these motorcycle things,
and they're it's fine, but some of them are just
zipping out into traffic without looking because they're tiny kids
having fun.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
But those things go fast.

Speaker 5 (06:22):
Yeah, video games teach you to hit reset when things
get wrong. And so a dear friend of mine, somebody
I loved, I had a post and I was like,
entire so I had something like entitled, kids aren't aren't born,
They're made.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
I'm like, these parents, you know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (06:41):
And then one of my favorite people in the world
was like, and they have a friend who has a scooter,
they have a son who has a scooter. Was like, hey,
this is all good points, but also not all kids.
I was like, you know what, You're right, So then
I had to make a long post going all kids
aren't in this bucket. It's probably just a few of
the kids that are the most. I'm just saying. I
hated saying that because like their child, I've seen him
out riding a scooter. He's safer than I am. Like,

(07:04):
he's a price, Like he's being as safe and courteous
as humanly possible. So anyways, I should give him an award.
I'm like, I don't know. So I saw, dude, I
saw a guy the other day. Try these teenagers trying
to cross the toll way in a golf cart.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
I don't know where you're going. I don't know where
it's gonna go.

Speaker 5 (10:16):
CD visors are rad rewound a cassette tape with a pencil.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
Oh yes, no doubt.

Speaker 5 (10:24):
Don't recommend, because you know sometimes the tape would pop
out of there and you're like, oh no, it's ruin.

in there, you're good. It's incredible.

It always needed a chord plugged into it?

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Then?

Speaker 5 (11:12):
Okay, you guys don't have double D batteries. Okay, watched
a movie on VHS and prayed it didn't jam? Ye, Christina, Yes,

Speaker 5 (12:48):
You're talking to us like we're twenty five. Sent a

that is a great place to make a donation and
your donation will matter. Kerr County Flood Relief Fund. That's

(14:46):
Community Foundation dot net. Community Foundation dot net. We got
the Hollywood Shuffle coming up, the newest highest grossing actor
of all time. We got a potential superstar coming to
Dallas to play sports.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
We could talk about that, but right now it's stop
for this. It's time to go into the good stridule worbug.
Fifteen years ago, today was a day that is now
known as the Decision. I've pulled a bunch of tiny
clips I'm gonna piece together more of a deep dive

(15:20):
on this. So today is July eighth, but this is
June one, twenty ten. This is Lebron James on Larry
King's show.

Speaker 9 (15:28):
You know, this city, these fans, I mean, has given
me a lot, you know for me is comfortable.

Speaker 10 (15:32):
And the Calves moved quickly to find a new coach
who'd helped convince him to stay. They offered a heap
of money to Michigan State's Tom Izzo, but he didn't
like that Lebron uncertainty and declined.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
They offered thirty million dollars a year in twenty ten
for tom Izzo to leave Michigan State and coach the Calves,
and he's like, I don't know if Lebron's gonna sign.
So Cavs fans are nervous, even though he just told
Larry King love Cleveland. It's been the world to me.

Speaker 5 (15:58):
So hold on a second, Yes, is say Bill Simmons
many not Bill Simmons. That's not not some other guy. Okay,
it's just some utait thing. Thirty million a year was
that That's what they offered. It's what they offered. Tom
is what is like the highest paid coach now is
like twelve?

Speaker 3 (16:12):
It was.

Speaker 5 (16:13):
I think the highest paid coach was Popovich, and I
believe he was making twelve or thirteen. Maybe it was
thirty million in total, but that I bet it was
three years and thirty million. It could be my guest,
but dude, I mean then that would have been the
highest paid coach. But keep in mind that the owner
is Dan Gilbert, who is a Michigan State guy and
has more money than you can shake stick at I
just said.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
Something my mom would say.

Speaker 11 (16:33):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (16:34):
But yeah, Dan Gilbert was crazy rich in a Michigan
state guy, So that doesn't sound that out.

Speaker 3 (16:39):
I'm a jerk. Five years, six million a year. I'm
a joke. I'm sorry about that. Okay, thirty million, okay.
But here's the here's the we can move on. The
point is June first, he's doing an interview Larry King
talking about how he loves Cleveland.

Speaker 4 (16:50):
Yeah, Cleveland fans are nervous.

Speaker 10 (16:52):
Lebron has made it clear that precisely six teams are
eligible for his services, not that others aren't trying. The
twenty ten free class is deeper. But once July first hit,
all six of those teams paused their other negotiations to.

Speaker 4 (17:06):
Fly to Cleveland and line up for meetings with Lebron.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
All right, so here are the six teams. So is
it ai Bill Simmons? My god, it's a guy. Don't
worry about it. A lot of people don't even know
who Bill Simmons is, you'll see. So you have six
teams that are actually in the mix, and here's their pitch.
All right.

Speaker 10 (17:26):
The New Jersey Nets had the first meeting on Thursday,
the first. They just finished a twelve win season, but
they have brand new draft pick Derek Favors. They got
flexibility to add another big star like Chris Bosh, a
new owner from Russia with ungodly wealth that he got doing.

Speaker 4 (17:43):
Not crimes.

Speaker 10 (17:44):
And they have Jay z one of Lebron's good friends,
as a part owner. He came to the meeting as well.
The Nets thought their meeting went great.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
Cool, all right, So the Nets with twelve wins and
Derek party favors, Yeah, let's go. We can get Lebron.

Speaker 5 (17:57):
And do remember that Russian owner he was like made
all his money off minerals and rocks and stuff.

Speaker 3 (18:02):
He wasn't around long.

Speaker 5 (18:04):
Really, Yeah, he was here for like four or five
years and then bounced.

Speaker 3 (18:09):
If you may all your money in minerals too, Like,
what do you need America for? Just go back to
where all the minerals are. Yeah, okay, this is where
it gets real good.

Speaker 10 (18:17):
Later on July first, the Knicks got an audience with Lebron.
They have room not just for Lebron, but for a
couple free agents. The Knicks made that clear in their
meeting and talked up the benefits of Mike d'antoni's fast
paced offense and the benefits of playing in a market
lake New York.

Speaker 4 (18:32):
But the Knicks mostly let others do the talking.

Speaker 10 (18:35):
They presented a video with testimonials from all sorts of
New York celebrity.

Speaker 3 (18:39):
Chris Rock, Spike Lee, and Mayor Rudolph Juliani.

Speaker 10 (18:45):
Awesome, And they even recruited James Gandalfini and Edie Falco
to get back in character and film a fake Sopranos
scene that they presented to Lebron because he's a Sopranos fan.

Speaker 4 (18:55):
I'm not joking.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
I'd like to hear the Sopranos. So Pablo Torri got
this somehow. I found it. And the idea is that
Tony Soprano is in witness protection now because the show's over.
Twenty ten, the show's over. Yeah, he's a witness protection

(19:19):
now with with Edie Falco, and he's reading the newspaper
on a couch. She's in the kitchen looking at places
for Lebron to live if he moves to New York.
And here's the scene. Tony, I'm so glad. Oh sorry,
you're gonna hear laughing. And that's just Pablo Torre's podcast
crew all laughing, Tony, I'm so glad we moved to
New York. Life is so much better now.

Speaker 4 (19:43):
Witness Protection Program.

Speaker 12 (19:45):
No, we just got to find a place for your
friend Lebron to live.

Speaker 4 (19:49):
What's he likes?

Speaker 3 (19:50):
A modern guy, He respects tradition.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
There's something classy on the East Side.

Speaker 3 (19:54):
Is you're big enough's gonna be entertaining a lot of people.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
In New York. It's very expensive. Oh, that's not gonna
be a problem. You gotta find something magnificent.

Speaker 3 (20:02):
Something.

Speaker 4 (20:02):
There's nothing in the world like in one of a.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
Kind like he is.

Speaker 4 (20:06):
He's a place, he says it.

Speaker 3 (20:08):
It's really loud. Take a look, allow me to read.
And then they look. The song plays and it says
it's winning time on the thing and they're smiling at
the camera. That's pretty damn good, dude, that's pretty good.

(20:30):
It's like, Okay, that's how we're gonna get Lebron. If
Lebron really liked the show, I didn't know. I mean,
Lebron's pretty young to be liking the Sopranos at that point.

Speaker 5 (20:39):
Pretty interesting that he had a meeting with the New
Jersey Nets and the Knicks just jacked the Sopranos from
New Jersey.

Speaker 3 (20:46):
We'll do one more before he keep this going here.

Speaker 10 (20:48):
Lebron's first meeting on July second was with the Miami Heat.
Key president pat Riley pulls strings his own way. When
the Cats came to Miami for a game in November
two thousand and nine, Riley arranged a meeting with between himself, Lebron,
and Michael Jordan. You know, just a couple of basketball
guys hanging out and not tampering at all. Soon after,
Lebron dramatically announced he would stop wearing number twenty three

(21:10):
as soon as possible out of deference to MJ's legacy.

Speaker 4 (21:14):
So Riley knows.

Speaker 10 (21:15):
He's got some influence, and he exerted every bit of
it in the free agent meeting. He showed Lebron his
numerous championship rings, invited Alonzo Morning to talk about Heat culture,
and made sure to mention that there's no state income
tax in Florida.

Speaker 3 (21:28):
So when we come back, I'll tell you what the
other three teams did, and then how Lebron and Jim.

Speaker 5 (21:35):
Gray made TV history. Okay, won the Eagle. We have
the Hollywood Shuffle coming up a little after four o'clock
with the new highest grossing actor and in history.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
Who is it? We'll tell you who that is.

Speaker 5 (21:48):
But we're picking back up with KT's exploration because it's
the fifteen year anniversary of Lebron's decision.

Speaker 3 (21:55):
Yeah, and where we left off, we gave you the nets,
the knicks, and the heat pitch to Lebron, including a
little backstory of pat Riley gathering Lebron with Michael Jordan
six or seven months before free agency even began. Here's
the fourth team on the list.

Speaker 10 (22:12):
Lebron's next suitor on July second was the Clippers. Clippers
GM Neil Olsha has known Lebron for a while and
he just wanted to talk about basketball. Forget glitz and glamours,
said Neil. The Clippers have talent. They have Baron Davis.
They have Blake Griffin who missed his whole rookie year
because of injury. But still they have Chris Cayman. It
was a short meeting, but you never know.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
Yeah, Okay, so they're like, you know what, this is
a basketball guy, true and true. This is our guy
right here, true and true, through and true. This is
our guy right here. They just thought basketball are the Clippers. Well,
chalk talk, look at our roster. Do you like what
you see? Little Chris Cayman. Chris Cayman action. So obviously
didn't go well with the Clippers.

Speaker 10 (22:56):
On Saturday, July third, Lebron had his last two meetings.
The first was with his current team, who'd enlisted fans
to hold up signs and rallies and wherever Lebron went
Throughout the weekend, Lebron met with new coach Byron Scott
and new GM Chris Grant. The Calves also played a
video depicting Lebron as part of a homemade family guy
style cartoon that referenced inside jokes only members of the

(23:19):
Cavaliers wouldn't.

Speaker 3 (23:20):
Get I looked for it and couldn't find it. No,
I couldn't find It's disappointing we wouldn't get it because
we weren't members of the Calves. Let me tell you something.
Bad strategy hate Everyone follow him around and make his
life hell for the weekend in Cleveland.

Speaker 5 (23:36):
Well it could, that's his hometown, and so they were
trying to guilt him into staying at home. Yeah, you're
going to crush the hopes and dreams of our entire community.

Speaker 3 (23:44):
That's your community. What was it? Good play?

Speaker 5 (23:47):
What they should have done is they should have busted
the entire city of Akron up to Cleveland.

Speaker 3 (23:52):
That would have been the power move.

Speaker 5 (23:54):
Every resident of Akron is hanging out in the city
of Cleveland right now.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
Um, and this is the last team, the Bulls.

Speaker 4 (24:01):
The Bulls pitch was simple.

Speaker 10 (24:02):
Lebron can pick up where mj left off and win
a bunch of rings in Chicago.

Speaker 4 (24:06):
His all star supporting cast is already in place.

Speaker 10 (24:09):
The Bulls have Derek Rose, they have joke Ing Noah,
and they'd have cap space even after signing Lebron.

Speaker 4 (24:15):
Oh, and it's what President Obama wants.

Speaker 5 (24:19):
That's powerful except for the man who wants to go
follow Michael Jordan, Like, but.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
Who would want to go follow Kobe and go to
the Lakers? Oh wait, Lebron. That's a good point. Like
Lebron is awesome, but he does a lot of this
stuff to himself, and he has done a lot of
this stuff to himself over the years, including this.

Speaker 5 (24:38):
Okay, but by the time he got to LA he
had already won multiple championships.

Speaker 3 (24:43):
Yeah, true, true, true true. Let's go to the decision.
I did not realize. I guess I just didn't remember.
I haven't watched it, and I had no reason to
go watch this again. But it's Jim Gray. Man, Jim Gray.
He's amazing. I Ben was obsessed for Jim Gray for
a while back in the past.

Speaker 5 (25:04):
You gotta remember too, this is an hour of live television.
This is an hour long live television show that's based
around a thirty second statement. It's kids on a gym floor.
It's in it's the boys and girls club that Lebron built.
If I remember correct.

Speaker 3 (25:23):
Up in Connecticut or near his hometown, right, Well, he's
not from Connecticut. Well that it was in Connecticut, That's
what they said in this So yeah, well okay, but
here's a this is this great question from Jim Gray.

Speaker 4 (25:34):
He's still a nail fighter.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
I have a little bit not a late.

Speaker 13 (25:38):
We've had everybody else fighting their nails, so I guess
it's time for them to stop.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
Chill sight up for Chuck. You've got everyone else just
needs to stand up.

Speaker 11 (25:47):
You got to.

Speaker 5 (25:49):
That's that's after fifty five minutes of a penalty kill
like it is.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
I remember watching it just thinking this is excruciating. He
was talking. I mean, it is amazing.

Speaker 4 (26:00):
You still a nail fighter.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
I have a little bit.

Speaker 4 (26:03):
Out of late.

Speaker 13 (26:04):
Well, we've had everybody else biting their nails, so I
guess it's time for them to stop chewing. The answer
to the question everybody wants to know, Lebron, what's your decision?

Speaker 9 (26:14):
And this fall man's this is very tough and this fall,
I'm gonna take my town's to Salva Beach and join
the Miami Heat.

Speaker 4 (26:22):
Miami Heat.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
Okays, Miami Like four kids were Heat fans of the
hundred kids in there, it sounded like that awl hit
the windows. Yes, this is every sales meeting with the
mediocre pause.

Speaker 9 (26:39):
Take my town is to Salva Beach and joining Miami.

Speaker 4 (26:42):
Heat, Miami Heat. That's a conclusion that woke up this morning.

Speaker 3 (26:47):
And what a great follow up from GYM.

Speaker 4 (26:50):
Miami Heat, Miami Heat. That was a conclusion you woke
up with this morning.

Speaker 9 (26:55):
That was a.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
Conclusion I woke up with this morning.

Speaker 5 (27:00):
That's just so egotistical the way he said it too,
I'm going to take my talents to South Beach.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
It was a bad line he got.

Speaker 5 (27:07):
There was a lot, I mean, there was so much
bad pr over this, Like I said before.

Speaker 9 (27:15):
I feel like it's it's going to give me the
best opportunity to to win and to win for multiple years,
and not only just to win in the regular season
or just to win five games in a row or
three games in a row. I want to be able
to win championships and I feel like I can compete
down in.

Speaker 13 (27:32):
Was it always in your plan to go and play
with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh?

Speaker 3 (27:39):
Well, I mean this is really tough because he's got
to figure out his lie. Yeah, and he's the worst
guy for Lebron to have doing this because he will
ask hard questions. Yeah, it's the banana boat, guys, uh
ba boat to Chris.

Speaker 5 (27:54):
Paul was on the banana boat. But that in Carmelo's
part of that too. But keep in mind they planned
all this team us a dream team. Yeah, so it
was already wheels in motion. And so now he's got
to figure out his life. And by the way, do
you guys realize how old Lebron is in this twenty
oh forty he's twenty about twenty five, well twenty five

(28:15):
really about because he'd been in Cleveland for probably seven years.

Speaker 3 (28:21):
He went to Cleveland when he was eighteen eighty four. Yeah,
twenty six years old. Yeah, man, twenty five going on
twenty six. How about that?

Speaker 5 (28:29):
The Wayback Machine delivers once again the fifteen year anniversary
of Lebron's decision. All right, coming up next to the
Hollywood Shuffle, a new highest grossing actor of all time?

Speaker 3 (28:39):
Can you guess who it is that it's coming up next?

Speaker 13 (28:42):
Jersey News, Hot Gods, every stay on the top.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
In Chovel, we have a new number one highest grossing actor.
I think the way they do this though, is they
look at how their movie did and they just add
those up. Yeah, so we have a new number one.
Now I've got the whole list in front of me,
so your guesses can all can all be fine?

Speaker 5 (29:12):
But you're bringing this up now, which makes me think
that somebody just had a big movie come out and
it toppled them to the top of the list. So
you have to think, who would It's not going to
be Jack Black. It's your guy, dude, Tommy.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
Yeah. And the reason is number huh Jack Black? Number
twenty eight? I mean, is Steve Martin on there?

Speaker 13 (29:38):
Well?

Speaker 3 (29:38):
What is the most recent movie? Is Jurassic World park whatever?

Speaker 13 (29:43):
Right?

Speaker 3 (29:43):
But also World Placenta also star of that rebird.

Speaker 5 (29:49):
There's no star I mean not that would be in
the top grossing. Hold on, though, I want to make
sure we is this in America or worldwide?

Speaker 3 (29:56):
I don't know. Let's let's get the story audited. Worldwide.
Worldwide is different than America. Prestige worldwide.

Speaker 5 (30:04):
Okay, I bet it's I bet it's Ben's guy, And
I think that's why there's a change. Do you guys
remember who it used to be. No, it used to
be Samuel L. Jackson.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
Oh, okay, and it and.

Speaker 5 (30:16):
What it is is because of the number of movies
that he's in, and you it's gross, it's all revenue.
And so you add he ended up being in those
Star Wars movies, right, So it's not like he it
doesn't even have to be a leading man. No, he
could be a role player that's been on a million teams.

Speaker 3 (30:32):
Right, So who's your guests? You each get one official guess.

Speaker 5 (30:36):
Okay, I don't want to. If Ben wants to take Tom,
I won't take him. I'm gonna take my best friend
Tom Cruise, all.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
Right, as you should. I mean, I'm thinking of a guy,
but I don't think he's old enough, and he hasn't
had any recent movies.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
Geene Hackman, No.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
He's he's old, okay. Timothy Shallow May Timothy No, yeah,
he didn't say no to me though.

Speaker 3 (31:03):
Yeah. Tom Cruise is up there.

Speaker 5 (31:04):
Oh skin does it have to be a person? Could
I take Yoda?

Speaker 3 (31:08):
Nope?

Speaker 5 (31:10):
I will go with the man who has been in
so many amazing Jurassic Park movies, Jeff Goldbloom.

Speaker 3 (31:17):
Jeff Goldbloom, I would like some honorary mentioned votes. Oh,
I'd like to throw Vin Diesel up there. Oh that's good.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (31:25):
I'm going with the rock in the Rock.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
Vin Diesel was at the F one race over the weekend,
and yes he has been so Yeah.

Speaker 5 (31:32):
Those two guys are in everything and Vin Diesel, Yeah
there's been thirty seven of those movies. Okay, but Ben,
I think you know that he said the rock because
not only has vinds that rock been in a bunch
of those, but he's in those movies where he's a
paraplegic that jumps from building the building.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
It's great movie skyscraper, wouldn't he And uh, you know
Jamon G's and all that stuff.

Speaker 5 (31:53):
I bet it's the Rock or Kevin Hart Okay, let
me just tell you or Kevin Bacon, that Denzel.

Speaker 3 (31:59):
Washington is number seventy six on this list.

Speaker 5 (32:01):
Yeah, he's made too many good movies. No, no, man, he's
making a bunch of trash right now. Tell you that
he said he's like a seventy four year old geriatric
action guy.

Speaker 3 (32:10):
Jim Carrey is fifty first on this list. Oh dude,
where's Harrison Ford? Twenty first?

Speaker 2 (32:17):
Brad Pitt whoa.

Speaker 5 (32:21):
I bet bix. I was gonna say forty nine.

Speaker 3 (32:24):
So number ten is Chris Evans, okay, cat My Mayor, yep.
Number nine, Dwayne the Rock Johnson number eight, then the
diagram Diesel. What about Robert Downey Jr. Seven Chris Hemsworth.
That new Marvel must be nuts. All these are? Number six?
Tomas Cruz, Oh I know who it is?

Speaker 1 (32:44):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (32:44):
Is it actor?

Speaker 3 (32:45):
There's no actresses?

Speaker 5 (32:46):
I didn't say that, all right, Scarlett Johansson number five,
Christopher Pratt, number four, Zoe Saldana.

Speaker 3 (32:54):
Oh what who's that? Three Guardians of the Galaxy movies?
And a little bit Number three Robert Downey Jr. Let's go.
Let's just say that he came into the day number
two before he was overpat by Scarlett Johansson. Number two
Samuel L. Jackson. We're about to find out why this

(33:15):
is on Kat's radar, and number one.

Speaker 5 (33:21):
SNEL tie it is Scarlett Johanses who.

Speaker 3 (33:26):
Okay, thinking for as SNL, she's never been in the cast.

Speaker 5 (33:29):
Have you guys ever heard of a movie called Staten
Island Summer? No, never knew it existed until last night
at eleven o'clock when I'm looking at the cast and
it's Bobby moynihan, Cecily Strong, Kate McKinnon, and then suddenly

(33:49):
there's an appearance from Colin Jost and then suddenly Fred
Armison is in it.

Speaker 3 (33:54):
Hell yeah, it is like the.

Speaker 5 (33:56):
Most third rate, low grade mixture of meatballs and super
bad I've ever seen. And it was written and directed
by some SNL rider named Rise Thompson or something. You
know that Will fort that Will Forte is hilarious there
it is so bad except for except for two minutes

(34:18):
with Will Forte, in two minutes with Fred Armison. But man, yeah,
all those people could not save the garbage that it was.

Speaker 3 (34:25):
Okay, So she Scarlett Johansson.

Speaker 5 (34:27):
Once she's in Marvel, she's doing those mar she's doing
those movies, and those that list is mostly comprised of
all those people.

Speaker 3 (34:36):
She appeared in three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Speaker 5 (34:40):
Is that's movies? Is she black widow in those black widow?

Speaker 3 (34:44):
Yeah? Okay, just a small role in some of these.
In Jurassic Part Yeah. But look at Samuel Jackson, he's
number two. What I'm saying, Scarlett passed him in eighteen
films and he has fifty six films.

Speaker 2 (34:55):
Samuel Jackson was in Jurassic Park two.

Speaker 5 (34:57):
Yeah, and he in Me and Agent of Shield or
one of those things like Kidney A Gays.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
Captain Marvel and the Avengers, Avengers in Game. He's in
all those movies too.

Speaker 4 (35:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (35:08):
All right, congratulations.

Speaker 5 (35:09):
The new highest grossing actor of all time is Scarlett Johansson.

Speaker 3 (35:12):
All right.

Speaker 5 (35:13):
Coming up next, we'll go around the sports. We have
a new injury that is concerning us on the local
sports scene, and maybe a future star who might come
to Dallas. That's all coming your way next. I've been
and skin Show ninety seven point one, The Eagle. A
lot of people asking, and we've got the answer. If
you would like to donate to a reputable place that
is helping what's going on in Kerr County right now.

(35:35):
You can donate to the Kerr County flood Relief Fund
at Community Foundation dot net. That's Community Foundation dot net.
Ihard encourages you if you want to make a donation,
to donate there. It goes to all the right places.
We very much support what they are doing. The Today
game coming up here in half an hour. It's the

(35:56):
only segment we never under any circumstance podcast, so you
got to listen.

Speaker 3 (36:00):
But right now it's time for this.

Speaker 5 (36:05):
Around the sports, ktd Quin says all the sports.

Speaker 3 (36:11):
Yes, I'm breaking MAVs news this afternoon. As many are reporting,
Anthony Davis underwent a procedure to repair a detached retina
that he suffered during the season he played through multiple
hits to the face last year. He's expected to be
healthy for training camp. Yeah, so that's the good news.

Speaker 5 (36:34):
Uh yeah, it's concerning the minute. I looked it up
on the internet, it said recovery from retina surgery could
take several weeks two.

Speaker 3 (36:43):
Months and then you can look down it could it says.

Speaker 5 (36:46):
While some return to normal activities within a week or two,
it could take three to six months for vision to
fully recover. All right, let me throw this out there
while we panic. His season ended in mid April. They
probably determined, hey, man, you can go away, go do
whatever you want, get the surgery here and be fine. Yeah,

(37:06):
I'm sure it's fine. Otherwise he would have done it
back in May or whatever.

Speaker 3 (37:10):
Right, you hope it's that and not that. Okay. I
just realized this is not getting better on its own. Okay.

Speaker 5 (37:16):
I have worried about that with his abductor or whatever
it is. I just worry about him in general, because
he's made of porcelain, you know, fair Man.

Speaker 3 (37:24):
The track record.

Speaker 5 (37:25):
Does not support a guy being available a lot, but
when he's available, he is one of the best on
the planet.

Speaker 3 (37:31):
Same with Kyrie.

Speaker 5 (37:32):
I mean, Kyrie's got a track record that suggests he's
not going to be available as much as you want.
But to Ben's point, when he's on the floor, he's
the top borderline top ten guy in the league for sure,
top twenty. Both of those guys are definitive top twenty guys.
Maybe both are top ten guys. That's the caliber of player.

(37:52):
They just miss a lot of time, and you just
you know, there's just so much uncertainty around the average
right now because of the Lucas situation, and because of
all these situations, there's just a lot of uncertainty, and
so there's not confidence in anything.

Speaker 3 (38:06):
And so with what's going.

Speaker 5 (38:07):
On with the trainers and how that all has transpired,
and it's probably not fair to them because it's just
they've lost our trust. So I don't I don't know,
I don't look at it's probably exactly like you said,
they gave him some time off, They're not worried about it.
He's gonna be ready for camp, nothing to worry about.
But this is why I was worried they were going
to trade Cooper Flag Like at first, you know, I'm like,

(38:29):
oh my god, maybe they won't draft him because they've
destroyed our trust.

Speaker 3 (38:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (38:34):
And the other thing too is that you know, there's
a new ownership group and we don't know a lot
about him, but they're very successful, yes, And so I
would imagine that the what they experienced in the new
community that they're in and the backlaw back lash over
the Luca trade, regardless of how they feel about their

(38:57):
business or their arrogance level or any of these things
that we can debate on the outside, I would be
surprised if they didn't consider what the public had to
say and you can learn right. Yeah, Yeah, we've been
talking about this with we'll talk about it here in
a second with Bradley Beal. Like pretty much every new
ownership group that comes into the NBA, Boy do they
make a big splash and then two years later they're

(39:18):
walking every bit of it back, which is what the
Phoenix Suns are doing right now.

Speaker 1 (39:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (39:22):
Anyways, hopefully he's back for camp, ready to go. Okay,
So hopefully that other injury, the abduct, is that what
it is, doctor Mussell. They weren't gonna they weren't gonna
do surgery. It's just like, let's heal it over top.
I mean, I hope it's healed.

Speaker 4 (39:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (39:35):
So the other thing you just mentioned Bradley Beal, ye,
who could get bought out by the Suns. Damian Lillard
just got bought out. Still gonna need some people to
play guard. Obviously, Damian Lillard can't play guard next year
because he didn't play it all.

Speaker 5 (39:47):
Next year, he'll sit out a year, but a team
could conceivably give him a contract.

Speaker 3 (39:53):
Now front catch pain for the first year of him
not doing anything. Yeah, for what you're getting in here?

Speaker 14 (39:57):
Two?

Speaker 5 (39:58):
Yeah, could the Mavericks they don't have space, right, so
they can't. They don't have space. But so they signed
Dante exum, which means they have sixteen guaranteed contracts. So
someone's getting waived or traded, and so usually what happens
in those scenarios you can start looking at the end
of the bench and start looking at the usual suspects
and going, all, right, are they going to trade Dwight

(40:18):
Powell in a second round pick into someone's cap space
to clear out that. Well, once you start doing that stuff,
then you you know create You can move around and
get under what they call aprons and different things, and
then certain things are available to you. I think Damian Lillard,
I just want to remind everybody Damian Lillard is a

(40:38):
big Nico guy. Now, if Damian Lillard came here, though,
he wouldn't be a starter, and so he's gonna be
sitting out a year. He might want to go somewhere
and be a starter still at the age of even
though I think he's thirty six when he gets back,
I might be wrong on that.

Speaker 3 (40:54):
Can you look up Dame's age?

Speaker 5 (40:55):
Which is why I never questioned Nico, because these great relationships,
I'm not worried about it.

Speaker 3 (41:01):
We're getting Dame.

Speaker 5 (41:02):
That The thing is is that where is you know,
he's never won a championship.

Speaker 3 (41:06):
He's thirty five.

Speaker 5 (41:06):
A week from today, he's thirty five, so he'll be
essentially thirty six when he plays again. Oh and he's
never won a championship. And so what I would say
is he may be a you know, when you're that
age coming back from an Achilles, you may accept where
you are at that point in your career and offering
Dame twenty minutes a night off the bench on a
team competing for a championship maybe exactly what he wants,

(41:30):
or maybe he sees that in Miami, which is where
he originally wanted to go and wants to stay in
the East. But anyways, it's just something interesting to watch.
A lot of people think Bradley Beal will end up
with the Clippers. As you keep an eye on Lillard,
Austin has a lot of steam right now to you.
All right, Well, we're talking about players coming to town.
Coming up next, let's talk about a new burger coming

(41:51):
to town. It could be the new best burger in town.
Let's discuss coming up right after this.

Speaker 4 (42:02):
It's time, all right.

Speaker 3 (42:07):
We've talked a lot about burgers in the last month.
I mean, it's just a summertime thing. Obviously, we talked
about Twisted Root a little bit. I've been raving about
Burger Schmurger for months now. I think you guys are
I been Have you had it yet? We got to
get you a burger? Have not had it? I don't
even know exactly where it is.

Speaker 5 (42:23):
I'm taking Ben to Burger Schmerger A s A p Okay.
Did you guys just see that they're open seven days
a week and they expanded their lunch options and all that.

Speaker 3 (42:30):
I don't know anything about it other than I hear
it's hot. It is East Dallas over there off of
is that Buckner? What is that off twelve and Ber Yeah,
like that.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
I don't know, kind of the same thing.

Speaker 3 (42:43):
Yeah, a far. It ain't far off the beaten path. Yeah,
you know, it is good. But there's something that's happening here.
There's something happened. This is going to open on McKinney
Avenue in Dallas in August. McDonald's we're a month away.
It's an Austin based burger joint, and it was founded

(43:04):
on According to this article from the Dallas Morning News
and the Great Senior Food reporter Sarah Blaskovic a girl,
it was an Austin based burger joint founded on handshake
deals and unused kitchens. And they're opening a two story
permanent restaurant in the former Playground Bar in Uptown Dallas. Now,
I don't hang out in uptown much, so I don't

(43:26):
really know where the Playground Bar was. Christina gets shippy
on the phone.

Speaker 2 (43:30):
Yeah, no, I don't remember that either.

Speaker 3 (43:31):
The place is called Stealthy na d C Burger Inn
a d.

Speaker 5 (43:36):
C in ad National Association of Diet Champions.

Speaker 3 (43:42):
I don't think it's a diet champion type of thing.
NADC stands for not a damn Chance. Okay, oh my god.
Have you heard of this?

Speaker 5 (43:50):
Somebody was just telling me about this this weekend. Is
it where it's like a Michelin chef?

Speaker 3 (43:56):
Yeah, so this chef, my understanding is the chef is uh,
his name is Lee. His first name, that's first name, yeah,
Philip Lee, Philip Lee. And he co owns it with
a skateboarder named nine Williams. Yes, I just heard about
this on Saturday, Williams. I, so, is it in Austin

(44:18):
where their other locations Austin? Yeah, so I know somebody
they're they're really they're they they're doing well, but they
travel to Austin just to go eat these burgers.

Speaker 5 (44:28):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (44:29):
They have.

Speaker 5 (44:31):
Not too but one menu item and they don't they
make it. And they're not like, hey, tell us how
you want it. They're just like here, here it is.

Speaker 13 (44:40):
Right.

Speaker 3 (44:40):
It's like soup Nazi wag. You smash burger with American cheese,
secret sauce, onions, pickles and slightly tamed, have apinos, and
the burger is gooey and messi and they also they
just say you can customize it a little bit, but
you shouldn't. And then they have fries. The guys they
some cheese fries too, if you want to do the

(45:01):
cheese fries thing.

Speaker 5 (45:02):
Don't you assume every secret sauce is some sort of
Thousand Island thing, yes, yeah, or Russian sauce. But I
don't have to think about it too much. You know
it's good. But dude, it's a Micheline chef, right. It's
like this guy who's like one of the greatest chefs.
On Earth but just decided, Yeah, I'm just gonna start
making burgers.

Speaker 3 (45:17):
Can't tell you with full authority if this guy Philip
chef old Michelin Old, Philip Franklin Lee. That's his name,
Philip Franklin Lee, that's the chef. Yeah, yeah, guy. But
who was talking to you about this? Someone from Austin
or someone who's someone who goes to Austin for this.

Speaker 5 (45:35):
It's a guy that came out and saw us at
the brewery. It's a guy who it's a guy that
lives in Frisco. We did a story on what this
guy's development is. I think it's called the Bays. It's
the big resort hotel that's going into Frisco where every
single room has a driving range on it.

Speaker 3 (45:51):
You told me about this guy.

Speaker 5 (45:52):
Yeah, every room has a place to tee off and
so like you're right next it's not top golf, but
you're next to this thing where you just out of
your room.

Speaker 6 (46:01):
That's dope.

Speaker 3 (46:01):
Get this this guy actually, as I read more, he
is the guy who started Sushi by scratch as well. Okay,
I got no joke that was tucked in that hotel
room in the Adulphice. I want to hug this man.
So this opens up in August. We should go try it, right? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (46:22):
So no, dessert really is just burger and fries. That's it.

Speaker 3 (46:25):
Yeah, that's what they say. Who's they, Sarah Bons? Well,
maybe they have it unveiled the full menu. Maybe they
add a little more, but that's their bit.

Speaker 5 (46:36):
Also in Flat New, you have a question you needed
two stories for this to do a burger?

Speaker 3 (46:41):
Did you say it was a two story building? Millions
of people are going to flock here for me. Think
about it. This guy's driving to Austin to go eat
the burger and coming back home.

Speaker 2 (46:49):
I mean, we have a challenger now. In and out
was packed for how many months when the game?

Speaker 5 (46:55):
So yeah, I'm saying, I can't believe you're doing a
story on this. I just talked to a guy about this.

Speaker 3 (47:00):
I really want.

Speaker 5 (47:00):
I feel like we should stop the show right now
and take Ben to Burger Schmurder.

Speaker 3 (47:04):
We should. We're gonna love it, Doug.

Speaker 4 (47:07):
We need to do.

Speaker 5 (47:08):
We need to go back and like figure out who
really does have the best burger in town. I mean
I just told you, no, it's the place by me.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
There's called an oak Cliff Herby's.

Speaker 3 (47:19):
Herby Herby's solid number two for me, gross number one.

Speaker 5 (47:25):
Produce a hard stool. I should go back to Herbie's
and see again in a DC's coming in here. Also
in food news, the guy who made.

Speaker 3 (47:34):
Slim fast is dead at the age of one hundred.
All right, thank you, Kevin.

Speaker 5 (47:37):
Coming up next, Uh, it's the Today Game, followed by
the Wildlife News.

Speaker 3 (47:41):
That's all coming your way next.

Speaker 5 (47:43):
Earlier today, I had to take my car in and
I just happen to be over there in Plano near
Andrews American Pizza Kitchen. I've thought about it anytime you
get close to There's only one location in town of
Andrews American Pizza Kitchen. It's at Preston and Plano Parkway.
It was voted best pizzeria and all of DFW by
readers of the Dallas mon News. They got an awesome
craft beer selection, TVs in there as far as I

(48:03):
can see, a great place to watch sports, they got
pasta they I mean, it's just a phenomenal restaurant, and
what an honor for them. Best pizzai in DFW, according
to readers of the Dallas Morie News. So if you're
a true foodie. Get over there, man, get over there
and try Andrew's American Pizza Kitchen.

Speaker 3 (48:19):
But right now it's time for this.

Speaker 4 (48:22):
Well.

Speaker 3 (48:26):
The wildlife, so much wildlife, tons of stories. I would
like to start with this one. Guys, there was a
fellow driving out in California. He's fifty nine years old
and he's just driving down Route two ninety nine YEP

(48:47):
on Sunday, and then he slammed into a So he's
devastated by it. So he's devastating this. But he sees
that the black bear is kind of off to the
side and trying to climb the guardrail but also not
moving well. So he's like, Okay, I'm gonna try to

(49:10):
go help him get over the guardrail and then run
off into the country. Now, I think when we're talking California,
this isn't like the La portion of California. This is
more of the country side of California here. So if
this bear can get over this guardrail, it can run
off and it can live the rest of its you know,
remaining minutes out in the out in the woods. The

(49:31):
hell what rib idea gets out mortally wounded? The bear
was struggling to climb over a guardrail in the highway
and get back to the wild habitat of the other side.
The motors tried to assist by helping the bear over
the guardrail God, and was bitten multiple times in the process.

Speaker 5 (49:52):
Hey, I mean, it's like these two gang members are
to fight and one of them's gun is jamming.

Speaker 3 (49:59):
Let me go help it.

Speaker 5 (50:00):
Man help his gun, Like, dude, I've seen people like
trying to rescue a tiger shark that's up too shallow water.

Speaker 3 (50:06):
If it can, it will eat you.

Speaker 5 (50:08):
I've seen people try to like give a cobra water,
Like why if it.

Speaker 3 (50:13):
Can, if it can bite you, it's going to bite you.

Speaker 6 (50:16):
What are you doing?

Speaker 3 (50:17):
Mother nature has no emulsion. God, So there was a
Now by the way, the guy a bit. According to
the San Francisco Gate, several witnesses looked on as the
fifty nine year old man approached the bear and was
bitten multiple times in his left forearm. Now, there was
an off duty EMT who witnessed the incident, and he responded,

(50:39):
immediately applied a tournique and then you know, called for
the ambulance to.

Speaker 2 (50:44):
The guy or the bear.

Speaker 3 (50:47):
A tourniquet on the bear going man, I gotta help
this bear.

Speaker 5 (50:50):
And what is the bear supposed to think a human
is grabbing on him right now?

Speaker 6 (50:54):
It's like, why are you.

Speaker 3 (50:55):
Trying to stop me from getting over the fit? But
also the bear is like, that's the guy who just
tried to kill me.

Speaker 6 (51:00):
Yeah, just try to run me over. What is he doing?
This guy won't stop until he finishes me off.

Speaker 3 (51:08):
Yeah, the ver didn't think for a second that the
guy was trying to help. He thought he was getting
in the thing. Warning noll bears as humans after us.

Speaker 5 (51:17):
What would you do if somebody ran you over in
a car and as you were trying to get away,
they chased after you and tried to grab you.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
Can they try to push you over the ram?

Speaker 3 (51:24):
Yeah? Eighty one year old woman was killed in a
bear attack. You making joke?

Speaker 5 (51:33):
Come on, dude, eighty one year old woman got mauled
in her living room by a bear.

Speaker 3 (51:38):
What this is.

Speaker 5 (51:39):
Worse than the slim fast guy getting eaten by a
pack of wolves at the age of one hundred.

Speaker 3 (51:45):
It's a pack of wolves. He he had like two
point three billion dollars, So hold on straight. Whole day crime.
He was eaten by a pack of wolves. Huh Seiko
takahash She was found lying in a pool of blood
in the center of her living room around seven forty am.
She's just watching the Today Show and here comes to

(52:07):
the bear.

Speaker 5 (52:07):
And you were doing earlier when you were doing this,
you're doing that thick accent you saw when you saw
the bear.

Speaker 3 (52:12):
Well, no, I actually just had something back in my throat. Okay,
got it, I got it out. I've never heard your
bear accent. It did say in this article, which makes
me uncomfortable, that bears have been reported eating rice stored
in homes and shedsay man, as well as entering garages

(52:34):
and greenhouses. That is what the story said from the
Asahi Shimbun. That's the website that I found this song.

Speaker 5 (52:40):
You know what is terrifying is when you see a
big bear walking to a neighborhood with a jar of
soy sauce, you know exactly what it's about to go do.
Or when you see him walking with a newspaper take
it off to go poo poo. Doctors found a live

(53:01):
eel swimming in a man's abdomen.

Speaker 3 (53:03):
Ben, How did it get in there? Thirty three year
old man?

Speaker 6 (53:11):
Thirty three?

Speaker 2 (53:12):
Yeah, he should know better.

Speaker 3 (53:14):
Showed up. He's from China, showed up at the first
affiliated hospital and doubled over with stomach pain and a
rock hard abdomen. Oh nice. So they run a CT
scan and they're like, oh my god, the eel had
punched through his colon and was now swimming around his abs.

Speaker 2 (53:30):
Oh my god, how.

Speaker 5 (53:33):
Big a heel is? How big a guy is this?
Because eels are big? Right, it was kind of big.
It was under a foot long.

Speaker 3 (53:39):
But still, I mean, imagine a subway sandwich, you know. Okay,
they had that at the ballpark foot long eel night.
So then they have emergency surgery on the guy and
the fish is wriggling in there and they get the
clamp and pull it out.

Speaker 5 (53:55):
Did they return it to its natural habitat? And if
they did, what it scarred forever?

Speaker 6 (54:01):
Hurry get that to salt water.

Speaker 3 (54:02):
Guys, you aren't gonna believe where I've been. That guy
tried to smuggle it in the country, right, I don't know, it,
says the staff skipped, explaining how the creature got inside.

Speaker 5 (54:13):
I'm telling you, I have a friend I mentioned this
who went to work in an emergency room. He said,
the biggest surprise is how often people come in there
with stuff stuck up in there. Yeah, it's amazing, it's awful.

Speaker 2 (54:25):
It must be what he did.

Speaker 3 (54:26):
Right Wait, is this the Love Shack? Yeah? No, that's
coming up though.

Speaker 5 (54:31):
Yes, okay, all right, so watch out for bears in
your living room. It is the Ben and Skin Show
ninety seven point one. The Eagle coming up at the
bottom of the hour. We've got something really outrageous happening
in the Love Shack.

Speaker 3 (54:42):
You do not want to miss that.

Speaker 5 (54:44):
Now, everyone's thoughts have very much been on what's happening
in Central Texas and Kirk County. We're about to do
the weekday update and we have some more information on
that we're going to give you. But a lot of
people are inspired to want to give, and so iHeart
very much courages you to go to Community Foundation dot net.
That is Community Foundation dot net That is right there,

(55:08):
a charity that has been vetted by iHeart. We know
exactly where the money is going to go. It helps
rescue efforts, shelter, food, everything that you can imagine that
those folks down there would need. Right now and again,
we're trying to raise money for the Kerr County flood
Relief Fund and you can be a part of it,
so go to Community Foundation dot net. But right now

(55:31):
it's time for this.

Speaker 7 (55:32):
And now it's time for Basins week Day Up Day
featuring veteran news anchor kt funtweets. Here are the important
stories he's currently tracking from around the world.

Speaker 3 (55:45):
Yeah, the latest we have is eighty seven found dead
in Kerr County, more than one hundred across Texas and
the search is continuing. This morning, we saw a story
about popular country music singer Pat Green and then his
brother John and his wife Julia remained missing. So Pat

(56:07):
Green's brother, wife and their two kids remain missing. Not good.
And you know, at this point, if they're missing, you're
just not There's not a lot of optimism.

Speaker 5 (56:17):
You know, every minute that passes it feels more and
more daunting.

Speaker 3 (56:22):
The other thing I saw that to Robert roll Keene,
another Texas country dude is from Kerrville, and he was
talking about plans for doing something to help out. There's
probably gonna be a big bash at some point. And
you haven't raised a lot of money because and all
all the pro teams have been donating and you know,
we've been seeing all that stuff and we have told

(56:42):
you again community foundation dot net where you can donate
as well. But yes, there's nothing, nothing's good coming out
of the story. You know, so Pat Pat Green's brother,
that's brutal. All of it's terrible, especially the children. What
was his brother's involvement there? Do you know? Is he
I don't know, and I don't even know if he
was at the camp or if he, like, you know,

(57:04):
just lived there. I mean, there's a lot of people
who just lived there, had houses along the river. But
he says, in fact, his brother has been confirmed at
at this point he lived in it, says of Liberty, Texas.
It's down in that area, thirty nine years old.

Speaker 5 (57:19):
Man, I don't the first time, I didn't really understand
what flash floods were. I know, you guys are going
to think this is crazy. But Bear Grills on one
of his shows, he was in there. He was like
in the desert and it was totally dry, and he
was sitting there talking about flash floods and how quickly
they get there. And I'm like, bro, you're in the desert,
Like what are you talking about? And I that's the

(57:40):
first time, to your point, skin you were talking about
how the ground gets so dry and cracked that it's
just it's like concrete. It's like concrete, so the water
just flies through there. Man, it's just tragic. There's just
when that something like that happens, there's just no way
to get people out quickly enough.

Speaker 3 (57:56):
No, No, it's it's brutal.

Speaker 5 (57:58):
One thing that I think is probably going to start happening.
And I was thinking about you know, you were talking
about Robert Earl Keane. You know, people start wanting to
help and thinking about things that they can do. And
one of the things that you know performers do is
they'll do shows and the money will go to where
it needs to go. And I was thinking about Pat Green,

(58:19):
and you know, he has the power to raise money
because he's a highly regarded, revered Texas artist. I can't
imagine playing a benefit in which your brother was one
of the casualties in what you're raising money for. That
is very intense and very emotional. I mean, obviously he'll

(58:40):
have a lot of his friends involved in some of
those kinds of things, and I haven't seen a story
that he's playing a benefit. I'm just thinking, you know,
when someone has a tie to the community, you know,
they they tend to want to be involved in that stuff,
but it's just I can't imagine having to perform under
those circumstances.

Speaker 3 (59:00):
Yeah, So, I mean, this is a story we'll probably
be you know, following along throughout the week. We're gonna
keep hammering home to Community Foundation dot net. It's a
great place where you can go donate and help out.

Speaker 5 (59:10):
And you may have said this, KT, but there are
still a lot of people missing. Do we have numbers
on the number of people missing and the number of dead?
Have you guys seen an update on any of that?

Speaker 3 (59:20):
So the again, the latest eighty seven found dead in
Kirk County, but there's more than one hundred across Texas
officially dead, right Okay, and then you have you know
that number is trickling down, the number of missing right now.
But yeah, I mean, I'll even have an update on
the number of missing right now.

Speaker 5 (59:38):
All right, Again, you go to Community Foundation dot net.
That is the Kirk County Flood Relief Fund that's backing
Community Foundation dot net.

Speaker 3 (59:48):
We vetted it.

Speaker 5 (59:49):
We know that all proceeds are going to go to
the right place, Community Foundation dot net. All right, As
we wrap things up here, on the ben Skin Show
on your way home. We're going to try to keep
you laughing. So coming up next. I don't know that
this is a laughing matter, but KT was doing some
research on the internet and he found a story about
why choking during love sex is bad.

Speaker 6 (01:00:11):
Yeap, love sex.

Speaker 3 (01:00:12):
It's coming up next. Welcome to the love Shack.

Speaker 10 (01:00:16):
Maybe Bennet's getting ladies talking love life and the white Mercedes.

Speaker 3 (01:00:21):
Maybe let us be.

Speaker 4 (01:00:22):
Nice to you, oh advice and you welcome to.

Speaker 3 (01:00:26):
The love Shack.

Speaker 5 (01:00:27):
Lady Life, you gets crazy, you need to Sexpert's roadhouse, says.

Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
Let me handle the bad problems for you.

Speaker 3 (01:00:38):
Yes, an interesting read is something that I had. There's
an article and it's about the growing concern around the
normalization of choking or strangulation if you'd like to call
it that during passionate love making, and that it's led

(01:00:58):
to the recent announcement over in Europe that porno's depicting
that will be criminalized. Where's that in Europe? Interesting? So
where are you gonna find it? Because you also like
the accents, this would be a problem.

Speaker 5 (01:01:11):
You just gotta you gotta stream it to a Canadian
server VPN.

Speaker 3 (01:01:16):
You like me to choke a okay, No, it's not good.
I don't want to see Canadians. It has become so
standard among young people that one recent council funded sex
education presentation included safe choking advice such as, quote, it's
never okay to start choking someone without asking him first.

Speaker 5 (01:01:40):
See Ben, when the request is made, you're in the clear.
That's what you taught me. I want you to choke me. Yeah,
I declined that what you said. I declined that it
just felt like set up.

Speaker 3 (01:01:55):
Dude.

Speaker 5 (01:01:55):
And she's had some people killed before, right. Also, you
don't You just don't know your own strength, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:02:00):
Yeah. Also, and you're in your prime. Also in that
sex education presentation, it's in quote consent should also happen
every time sexual choking is an option, not just the
first time, because like, if you like, if you're all
about it the first time, that doesn't just mean I
threw out all the rules for the rest of the game.
It was just the power play for a minute. It

(01:02:20):
also doesn't seem that loving Canada.

Speaker 5 (01:02:23):
I mean, yeah, I mean in the moment, but I
mean later, she's going to make lunches for your kids
and stuff, and you're going to be sitting there is
knocking at the back doors to strangle her.

Speaker 2 (01:02:40):
Most most of those acts aren't loving, for being honest,
holding cans.

Speaker 5 (01:02:47):
While doing it right missionary. I just don't know, man,
I just don't know about that. Okay, what about when
when there's a lot of loud grunting.

Speaker 3 (01:03:04):
You guys paid you guys got to see mac Groover.
It's the best love scene I've ever seen. I turned
it on, watched fifteen minutes of it this weekend, and
turn it off. It's not funny. You're on Will Forte.

Speaker 5 (01:03:18):
You need to see Will Fortes combined four minutes since
Staten Island Summer. He plays He plays a paraplegic that
had a motorcycle accident but would do it all over again.
You might be too young. He is making fun of
the eighties quite a bit.

Speaker 3 (01:03:32):
Yeah, I mean, did you see the first fifteen minutes.

Speaker 5 (01:03:38):
You saw assemble his super team. There's not a laugh
in there. Oh my god, all I did was laughter.
I think you need to see Staaten Island Summer.

Speaker 4 (01:03:46):
Now.

Speaker 5 (01:03:46):
There's a scene where Will Forte does a cannonball off
the side of the.

Speaker 3 (01:03:49):
Before promoting that movie. I don't like that.

Speaker 5 (01:03:53):
I think about a guy in wheelchair doing a cannonball
inside of a pool.

Speaker 3 (01:03:56):
Were you paid to promote this movie?

Speaker 5 (01:03:59):
The entire movie is making fun of mcgroober and the
eighties and the idea that it's Rambo, the war veteran
who's out that we got to pull him back in
because the world's in jeopardy, but he doesn't want to
come back.

Speaker 3 (01:04:15):
His life is in this village. Now, you didn't like
any of that, I really didn't. I'm starting to think
you're not funny. And then you know my other guy Kent,
who hosts the mat about Movies podcast, Big Movie Guy.
He also says, you did. It's the greatest movie ever
mcgiver McGrew. The guys, well, we're getting we're getting disrobed

(01:04:36):
over here, I mean derailed over here. So there's a
woman in this article. Her name is Mackenzie. She formed
a group in twenty eighteen called we Can't Consent to
this her thing she's got an issue with. There's a
growing number of women who are killed or injured in
violence that its claimed to be consensual. Oh god. A
list of men who have gotten off or their charges
have been less because they've committed murder and they've committed murder,

(01:05:01):
but they're using the It was just consensual. So they
did some research in this article, it is wild. I
did not know.

Speaker 4 (01:05:11):
I did not know.

Speaker 3 (01:05:12):
This evidence suggests that strangulation is now the second most
common cause of stroke in women under the age of forty.
Oh my god. According to one piece of research, it's
more dangerous than waterboarding.

Speaker 5 (01:05:28):
Really, how many women under forty are going through waterboarding.

Speaker 3 (01:05:32):
Is an interesting thing in that research. How do we
have Who are these people? Are they just soldiers at
Guantanamo Bay? I want you to waterboard me.

Speaker 5 (01:05:43):
I want you to do a chant this water torture
on my forehead.

Speaker 3 (01:05:48):
You didn't seem that loving.

Speaker 5 (01:05:50):
I can see it for a night, but maybe not
for a marriage week.

Speaker 3 (01:05:54):
Six or seven other guys in the room with honey
for our honeymoon. I brought some friends.

Speaker 5 (01:06:04):
Hey, can you help me lug this ozarka bottle up
into the hotel?

Speaker 3 (01:06:09):
Why? Oh, don't worry about it. I would leave your
fatigues on the Why are all the forest cats here
all right? Coming up? Next? Oh man?

Speaker 5 (01:06:18):

Speaker 5 (01:07:21):
Like, I'm like, wow, those are industrial like small town
size fireworks going off like in I'm wondering if they're
like the permit.

Speaker 3 (01:07:30):
I doubt it. We need to find out. I heard
a story. I'm not going to say where it is.

Speaker 5 (01:07:34):
But I heard a story from some friends that were
like in their community, they have it down to a
science to where they fire them off everything in three minutes,
come in with a cleaning crew and get it cleaned
up before any officers show up.

Speaker 3 (01:07:48):
Oh okay, I have stories of not me, but I'll
say friends of mine who pulled off the elaborate prank
front of the police station, lighting off a bunch of
black cats while the police were responding to the artillery
shell fireworks that were happening on the other side of town.

(01:08:08):
I keep in mind the other side of town, that's
about three minutes. Yeah, they got caught and had to,
you know, clean it all up and do a little
community service. You see, Mike bow and Luke I figure,
thank you. Kind of grew up as a little country outlaw.

Speaker 5 (01:08:23):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:08:23):
It wasn't so much me, but I saw a lot
of other people misbehaving and I just ran into.

Speaker 5 (01:08:27):
The house to pick on my mountain. But you never
meant no harm. No, But he'd been in trouble with
the law since the day was born.

Speaker 3 (01:08:34):
Let's go to Let's go to Massachusetts first. And I
hate to say this when we have these fireworks stories,
not all of these have a happy ending, but maybe
don't do the illegal firework show. Let's go to Massachusetts.

Speaker 4 (01:08:47):
A seventy year.

Speaker 15 (01:08:48):
Old man has died in what authorities were calling a
fireworks accident at a beach and Whareham or Mary Marcos
has more. Everybody down here has been lighting off fireworks
themselves for over twenty.

Speaker 16 (01:08:59):
Years, Neighbors say Robert Stagnulo has been setting off fireworks
in Wareham as part of an unofficial neighborhood competition for years.

Speaker 4 (01:09:08):
They're legal in this state for a reason.

Speaker 9 (01:09:10):
They are inherently dangerous, and so that's that's the reason
they don't let everybody have them.

Speaker 15 (01:09:15):
We do know that they're illegal, but it's it's it's
okay ish on on the fourth of July or a
couple of days before.

Speaker 3 (01:09:24):
Otherwise, Okay, we have some.

Speaker 2 (01:09:25):
It's okay ish.

Speaker 3 (01:09:27):
They're illegal for a reason, it's okay.

Speaker 5 (01:09:28):
It's only partially illegal during this time, this unofficial competition.

Speaker 3 (01:09:32):
Though, in what we're gonna do, we don't have this
competition we have to find.

Speaker 2 (01:09:35):
Out sounds like a horrible idea.

Speaker 15 (01:09:37):
Yeah, it gets shut down pretty quick.

Speaker 16 (01:09:41):
The Plymouth County District Attorney says the seventy year old
was hit in the face with a fireworks actually after
nine o'clock Friday night.

Speaker 15 (01:09:48):
We shouldn't hold it against anybody. It was an accident,
and accidents happened. It's a tragedy collapse.

Speaker 3 (01:09:53):
That's what the commissioner of the Unofficial Firework Competition would say.
We shouldn't really hold this against any ones. Is just
what happens in the competition.

Speaker 2 (01:10:00):
No, it's illegal. You shouldn't be doing it right.

Speaker 16 (01:10:04):
As you can see, fireworks continue to go off in
the neighborhood. Meanwhile, the Chief Medical Sandmark is still looking
into the official cause of death and the incident is
still under investigation. Reboarding and Wareham Mary Marcos, NBC ten Boston.

Speaker 3 (01:10:17):
We love fireworks as a nation. Because the guy dies,
we know it's illegal, and she's reporting and there's a
butt of.

Speaker 6 (01:10:23):
Fireworks going on.

Speaker 3 (01:10:25):
It's insane.

Speaker 5 (01:10:25):
And I don't know what the how much the drone
shows cost, but we should make the transition. Yeah, drones
are they're far superior.

Speaker 3 (01:10:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:10:34):
I saw one with like a dragon going over some
town and it was incredible.

Speaker 3 (01:10:38):
To get enough of them to make the dragon look cool.
You have to buy a bunch of drones, and one
drone is like a good what five hundred bucks? But
we're talking about we're talking about for the clothes and
artillery shells.

Speaker 5 (01:10:51):
And for these kind of drones, it's I gotta be able,
computer programmed and have certain kind of lights and all
that sort of stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:10:56):
Well, fireworks starting fires, killing people, and they only do
the same thing every time.

Speaker 5 (01:11:02):
Right, interesting sidebar. Fireworks kind of play part of the
narrative arc of Staten Island Summer. I've had enough? Okay,
A drone show. A drone show can vary wildly on
how much it costs widely, but generally ranges from twenty
grand to two hundred grand or more. I ain't got

(01:11:22):
that money. I got firework money. How much does the
firework show cost? Twenty grand to two hundred gets the same?

Speaker 3 (01:11:29):
Are we doing it officially or are we doing an
unofficial competition in a area because I can get that done.

Speaker 5 (01:11:35):
Yeah, it's not going to do anything for the small
people that are going rogue. Okay they're called little people.
But doing like I say, fireworks show could run anywhere
from five grand two hundred grand. Have you guys ever
been to a dwarf firework show? I mean, I bet
gotown and Addison was two hundred and fifty grand. Oh,
two hundred and fifty million.

Speaker 3 (01:11:54):
Dude, Yeah, it's more.

Speaker 5 (01:11:56):
So you could put on a drone show for roughly
the same price, and I think it would be far superior.

Speaker 3 (01:12:00):
But again, all these accidents are never hardly any of
these happened at the big events. These all happened just yeah,
you know, right, and you know what.

Speaker 5 (01:12:07):
None of these places properly licensed the Bruce Springsteen, Lee Greenwood,
John Tuobermellen Camp songs. And do you see every year
you see people blow their fingers off? What about in
this case, let's go to North Carolina.

Speaker 12 (01:12:20):
As fireworks illuminated the night sky for the Fourth of
July holiday, there was something else keeping people up at night.

Speaker 14 (01:12:27):
There was a lot of gun fire going on outside,
but fireworks as well. As soon as it became dark outside.

Speaker 12 (01:12:33):
Lession Allons tells me on the eve of the holiday,
things got pretty rowdy near her home on Plumb Street.

Speaker 14 (01:12:39):
I didn't think anything of it until the next morning
when I woke up. On the fourth my son, my
four year old, came into my room and said, Mommy,
what is this?

Speaker 4 (01:12:47):
And in his hand was a bullet.

Speaker 12 (01:12:49):
A bullet from gunfire aimed in the air, pierced the
roof of her son's bedroom as he slept a few
feet away.

Speaker 14 (01:12:55):
He said, Mommy, they were doing fireworks in my room.
He thought it was fireworks and was an actual bullet
that came through his ceiling.

Speaker 5 (01:13:02):
The bullets do land, Yeah, that happens. People fought just
shooting guns in the air. The bullets come down. They
don't go into the atmosphere and didn't just fly off
into the sun.

Speaker 3 (01:13:12):
They do come down. Let's get some West Coast a
little bit of love. Here's go to California now at
eleven homeowners sharing their shock tonight over an illegal fireworks
explosion in Percoima.

Speaker 4 (01:13:22):
As we get a new look at the danger that night.

Speaker 13 (01:13:25):
Tonight, one family tells us their home was completely destroyed
the devastating fireworks explosion, taking the life of one man
and destroying multiple homes.

Speaker 12 (01:13:33):
Thursday night, abnusu's reporter ten Pulliam joins us line from Pakoma,
where he met with one of those families.

Speaker 11 (01:13:38):
Ten Yeah, this neighborhood in Pacoroma is traumatized after illegal
fireworks set it on fire, and tonight we are getting
a first look inside of one of the homes that
was completely destroyed. Brian Garcia taking us inside what used
to be his home, including his mother's patio, garden and
sanctuary for her thirteen birds. Every inch of the family's

(01:13:59):
home was ravaged. When they say their neighbors illegal fireworks
went off next door.

Speaker 3 (01:14:03):
You get the point. Two houses destroyed by fireworks. We
also have a huge fire in California, right, I know
more about her thirteen birds. Yeah, there was not more
a big bird follow up, but I can tell you
it doesn't sound like the birds made it out of
the house explode. I mean, two people lost their home
because a guy just had five hundred dollars worth of
fireworks in his closet in a box and they somehow

(01:14:24):
caught fire. There's a big fire in Laguna Beach right now, though,
and there's like, yeah, well fireworks, cause this are you serious?

Speaker 13 (01:14:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:14:32):
Is this about the time It was last year that
those fires were going crazy? No, that was that was wintertime.
It just feels like a year round in California. Man,
firework explosion on a boat in New York killed one
and injured another. Oh oh, okay, a tent a fireworks
tent in Michigan caught fire. There was also a story

(01:14:55):
though in Cedar Rapids, where the people are pissed that
the Cedar Rapids Freedom Fest fireworks display was disappointing. It
just wasn't good enough. What are they mean?

Speaker 2 (01:15:06):
It wasn't good enough.

Speaker 6 (01:15:08):
I want my America back.

Speaker 3 (01:15:11):
The Freedom Festival said they were promised the fireworks show
would be impressive. However, there were delays and a pause
during the show. I paid for this. I need a
good show. You can't even count on a good fireworks
show anymore. Where do you pay for firework?

Speaker 14 (01:15:25):
Like?

Speaker 5 (01:15:26):
There are companies that go do like I know, but
I'm just saying, like your average person sitting around didn't
pay to look up?

Speaker 3 (01:15:34):
Right? Yeah, have you guys ever been to a firework
show that you paid for?

Speaker 11 (01:15:37):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:15:38):
No, you like put on?

Speaker 5 (01:15:40):
Yeah, you go to a you know, a soccer stadium
and look up or what you know? It's like, yeah,
no one ever really came to my firework shows.

Speaker 3 (01:15:47):
They always noticed that people would leave and go to
the other one on the other side of the lake,
and like, maybe I had too much interpretive dance.

Speaker 6 (01:15:57):
Look up, it's back down, look at her.

Speaker 5 (01:16:07):
I'm moved to the East Side before my son went
and you know, hung out with friends. On July fourth,
my wife's sent a video she saw on TikTok where
a guy was kind of in his early twenties was saying, hey,
don't fire these things off yourself. And he's got a
lobster claw for a hand now because he shot his
hand off. You don't want to look like this.

Speaker 6 (01:16:24):
Well, oh man, Well that's a pretty good show. Yeah,
pretty good.

Speaker 3 (01:16:29):
It's pretty good show. That was good. That's good. Drop.

Speaker 5 (01:16:32):
We do want to remind everyone and we will continue
to do so all week long. If you would like
to donate to the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund, go
to Community Foundation dot net again, that's Community Foundation dot net.
All right, tomorrow is gonna be big. It's hump Day.
We always do something special on hump Day. I'll never
forget the time kt Look the guy that had a
lobster hand dead in his eye and on the fourth

(01:16:54):
of July he said to him, I.

Speaker 3 (01:16:56):
Think I would say never change, you know, but also change. Well,
that guy was stuck with his situation.

Speaker 5 (01:17:02):
Christina is going to stick around and play some tunes
right here on the Eagle there you going.

Speaker 3 (01:17:06):
Well, I'm gonna get my sack back.

Speaker 4 (01:17:09):
Dude, a great summer, that's your hand show
