About how he was from Garland.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
Yeah, oh man, I never stopped and now you're in Garland.
I was born at that feed store right there at
Fifth and Maine, right there in the parking lot.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
I popped right out.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
I was in the back of a chavette. What's a
good seventies car? Yeah, early seventies couvette. Yeah, what was
the kind that when you bumped, Oh, a pacer back
and it exploded. My mom was in a parking lot
right there behind that feed and seed store, in a
pacer and I popped right out and I said, Hey,
I'm from Garland.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
That's he you did.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
I was two years late.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
She carried me for two years and nine months. I
popped out speaking, and I had his lit cigar, a
breastfed for fifteen years. It's incredible. We are at Fortunate

Speaker 4 (02:23):
Yeah, this is great news.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Those are the future holds. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
Does the Dallas USL team know this? They don't know this,
but yeah, but they refuse to give him a talent
fee for being here. I agree, but he is here.
Evon's Nigas engineering at that mothership. The best thing about
our show.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
He brought a big crowd with him.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
I mean, the best thing about our show isn't even
here today. Christina's back at the studio.

Speaker 6 (02:46):
Hey, hey guys, Hi little baby corn bread.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
Hi.

Speaker 7 (02:50):
Have you all had pizza yet or no?

Speaker 4 (02:52):
Not yet.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
I'm pacing. I'm pacing myself. I'm gonna have pizza as
soon as we get off the air. I'm nibbling until
we get off. Yeah. Man, I cannot believe of how
cool this is. Thank Look, we're not for you, oh,
Skin and I are from Richardson, Texas, right, so we
grew up right down the street. Now there's this dividing
line between Richardson and Garland. It's called Jupiter Road, and
that is a huge cutoff, Like it is a massive

(03:15):
turf battle between those two entities. So it feels different
when you head east of Jupiter. Yeah, I mean it changes.
I just I feel like because of that rivalry, I
never gave the new and improved downtown Garland the love
it deserves because now being here today and seeing this,
this is a really cool area and it's it's not
Dallas up. It's like got Austin vibes. It's kind of

(03:37):
you know what I mean, it's kind of cool. It's
really cool, and we should just say, like Ben, you
can look right. So there's this outdoor stage, so there's
like a whole concert and a whole there's a whole
thing happening here. In regards to our friends with the
new USL Dallas team, we'll tell you more about that
in a second. But if you look on the other
side of the square, do you see Intrinsic Brewing right there?

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (03:57):
So that place is great, good beer, good food, nice people,
and they've been here in downtown Garland for a little while.
And uh and there's gonna be a big USL party
over there after we get off the air here at
Fortunate Son, which we'll spend lots of time talking about
Fortunate Son because this place is awesome. And then do
you see that little movie theater right there, Yeah, that's
where that movie that I won that Academy Award for

(04:18):
it air that they're premiered right there in that theater.
That's amazing. Yeah, you played a gay cannibal in that one.

Speaker 4 (04:24):
Yes, I was kind of a young Dahmer, okay, And
I was based on a young dog the hot Dogs.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Yeah man.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
And then look, you just ran out of State and
Maine right there. Unbelievable. That was Ellen from State Maine
who just ran outside. You've met Erica and Justin. Those
are the three owners you told me about State Maine yesterday.
It's right next door to Fortunate Son.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
And because this is an open carry situation, not with
Will for Beverage's, it's Texas, so it's always open carry.
So I walked in with two guns in the air.
So let's say you're gonna come down here and you're
gonna want to watch the big outdoor concert and because
it's going to stop raining around four, right, and so
this is going to be the place to be tonight
in Garland, Texas.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
But let's say you wanted to walk around the downtown square.
The first thing you need to do is go to
State and Maine right there. Get in there. They carry
one of our favorite breweries that we're invested in. They've
got four of our peers in there, which is awesome. Yeah,
but they got it's just you. You said it yesterday.
It's just a super eclectic, cool, chill vibe.

Speaker 4 (05:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
And man, I walked in there today and I immediately
fell in love with the store and everyone in it
because they didn't even know I was here to do
a radio show. I just walked in because you told
me about it, right, and they were so welcoming and nice,
and then I just that store is so unique and cool.
Highly recommend if you're coming to Garland, be sure to
stop by State Maine Merchant. It's like an upscale convenient store,

(05:42):
specialty grocery market. And same thing happened me and my
wife came to Fortunite Sun one time. We're just having
pizza here on a Saturday afternoon, drinking some big German
and started walking around downtown Garland. We stuck our head
in there and you know, met Eric and her husband
and they were listeners, so we just started chating. It's like,
I love this is the thing about old Texas towns.

(06:04):
When they have a downtown areas, you get cool little
and Kate t what about that arcade you were talking about.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
That's that's on this side of the street.

Speaker 4 (06:10):
Talking about Infinity Arcade. Yes, it's just right down there, right,
maybe my favorite arcade in town.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
Do you go down there and bow up some of
the teens and let them know you're the king of Gallagha.

Speaker 4 (06:19):
I haven't yet, but I think this is one of
those the night is young situations, very nice. So if
anyone wants to get their ass kicked in some fashioned arcade,
I'll meet you at the corner, Rick Carlisle, and we'll
go to Infinity Arcade later. He did go full ricking
about fortunately, and this is where I was. You know,
you remember places when things happen. You remember where you

(06:41):
were when things happened. Do you remember when dak tore
his hamstring off the bone? I was a fortunate sun
up there at the bar watching the gay man.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
That's it's a great story, is a wonderful.

Speaker 4 (06:53):
Oh yeah, that's the old story.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
Yeah. Would you hear me that cold beer right there?
I think that's mine? Yeah, Stephen, could you hand that to?
I know what's Steven touching it? Ste Now go ahead,
save for a radio joke there go Okay, three o'clock,
Elliott One, our program director is like, ooh, bad decisions
happening in the first segment, so uh so next door.

(07:17):
So so we're at uh Fortunate Son, which is the
pizza joint that Dave Portannoy came to and hiked it
up and they got a huge review, and that's a
big you know, Portnoy is one of those and he's
one of the barstool guys, but he reviews pizza joints
and you know he can make or break a business
with a good or a bad review because there's so
many people following it.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
So he came and gave them huge love.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
But they were already massively popular here locally before that. Yeah,
this is the same people you've alreadys talked about Good
Friend over in East Dallas, which is legendary East Dallas spot.
Same people they opened this in downtown Garland and their
pizza is what you call New Haven style, New Haven,
Connecticut style, thin crust and they do it better than anybody.

(07:58):
And you've never had that crust new Haven style better
than this, So they do it better than anybody. Magically delicious,
and they they're known and same with a Good Friend,
they're known for their incredible bar. They got a great
selection of craft beers and other brands. Me and ben
are always like hyping up Rollertown. But we have a
lot of good friends and owned breweries and some of

(08:19):
their beer is on the wall. My dad when he
came here, watched me drink a Rollertown and drink a
Guinness because he got the poor was amazing.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
So there you go.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
They got a great beer selection and of course awesome food.
So get here hang out with us and playing on
filling up your belly with drinking food.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yeah, man, it's gonna be a great time.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
We're super excited for our friends at USL Dallas. We'll
talk to one of them coming up here momentarily. But
you know you're gonna come down here. You're gonna get
to witness the outdoor concert all the fun. But when
you get down here to downtown Garland, stop by State
Maine and go get some beers to those and walk
out with him. Just walk all around the square with them.

(08:57):
That's what's cool about that. So it's kind of the
hub spot to go to for the whole square. But
so what what is New Haven style pizza? How do
you describe it? Super thin crust I think is the
best way to describe it, Like to put it in
a nutshell.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
They put the pizza in a nutshell.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
No, no, no, no nuts nuts nuts, but yeah, super nuts.
If you don't try it, if you don't try that's
their slogan. And that's what people say in New Haven, Connecticut.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
That's what they're known.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
That's what they're known for saying up there.

downtown Garland. Because we have big doings today. We are
currently at Fortunate Son, Badass Pizza Place right here on
the square corner of Fifth and Maine. And then we're

(12:15):
here because some friends invited us, some very special friends,
and one of those friends joins us. Now we used
to work with them in the world of radio, and
now he is in the world of professional soccer. It
is our buddy Sam Morton. Hello, Sam, how you doing?

Speaker 4 (12:28):
How you doing?

Speaker 3 (12:29):
Boys?

Speaker 9 (12:29):
Dude?

Speaker 3 (12:30):
This is amazing. So yes, we go way back with
Sam Morton. He'd sold our show and he was the
top sales guy, the manager, VP of sales, whatever it's called.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
It sounds like you're making up tithing.

Speaker 10 (12:41):
We're saying director of sales, all those things, okay at
one point another okay things.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
And when we were on the fan and then later
with us over on iHeart, and then all of a
sudden one day he left go work with his childhood
buddy who bought a soccer team. That's right, And so
it's kind of the been in skinting store. You left
to work with me when I'm out a soccer team.
It's not our story. It is a good story, though,
And so okay, so tell us about this friendship, how

(13:07):
far it goes back, and how you got involved with
owning a soccer team.

Speaker 10 (13:10):
Yeah, so, Matt Valentine, my partner and I met in
the seventh grade at a at a dusty field in Arlington,
Texas as part of a kind of a regional all
star team.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
I don't think it was all star talent.

Speaker 4 (13:25):
That was kind of like a humble brag a little bit.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
I was an elite blue chip athlete.

Speaker 10 (13:29):
Yeah, we were national plus national extra elite players anyway,
and met there for the first time, went to separate
middle schools, ended up going to the same high school,
played high school soccer together, and you know, much like
you guys, I don't think there's been a week since
we were in high school that we haven't had a

(13:50):
conversation about something. We've been really close all the way
through until today. So almost forty years.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
Well, explain to us what you guys are partnering on now,
because that's the reason that we're out here today. And
it's not just this show. This is going on into
the night and then it launches this amazing new thing.

Speaker 10 (14:05):
Yeah, we're excited to bring USL Championship side to Dallas.
For those who don't know, USL is its own kind
of ecosystem in professional soccer. Tonight it kind of the
culmination of our brand. Our colors, our crest, our name
will all come to life, and we're really excited to
share that in the city of Garland at this music

(14:26):
festival tonight and happy to have you guys out here
supporting us.

Speaker 3 (14:29):
So what do people need to know about they if
they stick around, they can be a part of history
if they come out to Garland tonight and they could
be like, hey, who was there when they announce the
name and the crest and all that. I was there,
So that's happening tonight. But what do people need to
know in general about what you guys are going to
try to accomplish with this new soccer team in Dallas Forth.

Speaker 10 (14:45):
Sure, we're we won't kick a soccer ball till twenty
twenty seven, so our first season here will be twenty seven.

Speaker 4 (14:53):
So we're.

Speaker 10 (14:55):
You know, I think soccer in America can be a
little stale at times, and you know, we want to
bring kind of an excitement more European or Lega Mech's
experience to our stadium. So think flags and chants and
TFO smoke and we really want people to leave and go.

Speaker 3 (15:14):
I don't even know what the score was, but that
was just a really great time.

Speaker 10 (15:17):
Yeah, and you know, we'll get the guys and girls
who really are into soccer, but it's the other seventy
percent of the people that just want to come out
and have a good time and have a cold beer
and be a part of something that that we're really
really shooting for.

Speaker 4 (15:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
Okay, so you said that you're going to announce the
cress and the colors and the name.

Speaker 4 (15:36):
What time is that happening.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
It'll happen at or about seven forty five tonight. Is
that because you guys are still making some last minute decisions,
like how can you couldn't just tell us right now?

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Well, I don't know if you noticed.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
Earlier today, I was over my laptop, I was in Adobe.

Speaker 4 (15:48):
I was I was trying to do it. I was
trying to change a few things.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
Since you're still deciding the name of KT, do you
want to throw just a couple.

Speaker 4 (15:56):
Of yeah, yeah, come on KT.

Speaker 3 (15:58):

Speaker 3 (17:43):
Though?

Speaker 2 (17:43):
Yeah, it is first time.

Speaker 10 (17:44):
I don't know I don't know how many much advertising
us old for you guys. Are you never once have
been invited on the show? There was a reason for
the year time, there was a reason for the huge reason.
There was a huge debate about whether we were going
to let this happen.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
Yeah, okay, so Sam Morton is joining us. There's all
sorts of excitement around usl Dallas. It's a big deal.
We talked about our history and like, how cool is
that that. Look, you're great and you've helped us throughout
our whole career and we love you. But how awesome
is it that you have a friend who has enough
money to buy a soccer team.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
That's pretty that's pretty cool too.

Speaker 4 (18:16):
It's pretty cool. It was pretty cool.

Speaker 10 (18:18):
Now we're just again, this is really excited. You know,
cliche to say what you've dreamed of, but I don't.
We never dreamed of it, so you know, it's just
we're both passionate about soccer.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
That's nuts, though, dude, that's like me and Skin growing
up together like we did, and but one of us
could buy a basketball team.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
Then we go work at a basketball you buy the Mavericks.

Speaker 4 (18:37):
Yeah, that's a dream coming. Maybe I'll just buy the Mavericks,
you know, No, they're doing great.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
What's amazing is that Ben and I probably would have
run the Mavericks into the ground. So what are you
a mad up to with the soccer team.

Speaker 10 (18:48):
Well, we're we've been around now, we've made it six months,
so I think you know we're run an upward trend. Yeah,
but again, really excited about the brand, the name and everything.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
So just to you know, double down on what Ben
was saying. I remember playing golf with you this about
I don't know, ten years ago, and you're, by the way,
Sam Morton's a really good golfer, and you were talking
about you were actually talking about Matt and soccer back then. Yeah,
because I think we're talking about kids and what our
kids play and all that stuff. But you know, you've
always been a big soccer guy. So this is really cool.

(19:18):
Now if people are just tuning in, I want to
recap what is the specialty or what is special about tonight,
like what exactly is happening and then what happens from here?
Yet seven o'clock we have a music act goes on
Best seven forty five. We will have a march to
the match, and we've got a big reveal video and

(19:39):
again our name color Crest all come to life, will
transition from USL Dallas to our official name, and off
we'll go. Okay, and by the way, Ben march to
the match. That is kind of along the history of
the pub crawl, Like that's what happens over at the
Euro of Soccer. They hit up every pub on the
way to the match.

Speaker 10 (19:57):
Right, So we've got about eight hundred people that have
RSVP to start a parade just adjacent here to Fortunate Son.
Let's go arch right up through the alleyway, let's go,
and then we'll take the stage and you know the
guys that Modest Works helped us with the brand and
the video reveal and again.

Speaker 4 (20:16):
Just really excited to show up everybody.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
So basically, if somebody's listening to this, it's free for
them to come out, absolutely ling.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
To be a part of history, what I'm saying. Free.

Speaker 4 (20:24):
And if you bump into Matt and I will buy
you a beer.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
Oh, will you buy him Roller Town absolutely, which is
a brewery that Ben and I are partners. Will you
buy him a smaller team in like a lesser league, Yeah,
like maybe a minor super minor leagues.

Speaker 4 (20:36):
Yeah, yeah, you know.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
Soccer is a lot like roofing. You and I could
start a soccer league and entry, yeah, and then go
pitch to Sam and Matt if they want a second
team or not. So so what all what all USL
announcements have been made in this area?

Speaker 2 (20:51):
Is it? Is there only?

Speaker 10 (20:52):
No, no, no, it's USL is a really big organization.
It's got teams in over two hundred cities across America.
Here in DFW, you've got Dallas Trinity, which is in
the USL ecosystem. You've got Texoma FC, which is again
part of the ecosystem. Didn't Diablos McKinney, choopercabras uh, and

(21:12):
then USL Dallas. So there's five USL properties right here
in the DFW.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
And there's always whispers right of other ones out.

Speaker 4 (21:18):
As always always whispers, always whispers.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
So my buddy, our buddy follow Wells, big soccer guy,
calls games for Apple and all that, and he was
saying the fun thing about USL, Zia.

Speaker 4 (21:28):
I hope I'm not mixing this message up, but he said,
there's a whole relegation thing like they have over in Europe.

Speaker 10 (21:33):
Yeah, we just USL the governors just voted on it
about a month ago to bring promotion relegation. To explain
what that is, Yeah, to our to our our pyramid,
promotion relegation is pretty simple. It's, you know, the the
worst two or three clubs go down a division. In
the best two or three clubs.

Speaker 4 (21:50):
Go up a division. So you know, it's a it's
it's an open system within the USL pyramid.

Speaker 10 (21:57):
And again, if you play really well, you can go
up with a division, and if you don't, then consequences.

Speaker 4 (22:01):
This is what should happen with fantasy sports. Think about
all the guys in your league that are just dragging
the thing down.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, you know I like being in the league. That's good.

Speaker 3 (22:09):
Oh because you because you could pick on him and
just keep Yeah.

Speaker 4 (22:12):
Okay, I've had to kick out Steve and our SNL
fantasy draft did last place.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
Yeah he's getting relegated. Wow, oh my god.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
He didn't take it seriously.

Speaker 4 (22:22):
Yeah, kind of like when I drafted Bob Seger to
host that one time.

Speaker 3 (22:25):
I actually think he tried actually back to Sam.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
But Sam, let's put a bow on this thing. Let's
do it.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
What do people need to know about tonight? About what
we're doing here in Garland. What's how do they schedule?
How to get here? Like?

Speaker 4 (22:37):
What?

Speaker 2 (22:38):
Just sum it all up for us.

Speaker 10 (22:39):
We're in downtown Garland again. We'll do our brand reveal
seven free, a lot of great restaurants and partners here
on the squares. You guys have ourney spoken to Fortunate
Son and Trinsic Barbecue, so come out, have a good time,

Speaker 3 (22:58):

Hey he's to this too. Thank you boys.

Speaker 3 (23:03):
We working with you for a long time. This is
the happiest I've ever seen you man. You know radio

years you'd never be happy, but I was wrong. Congratulations, Sam.
We loving me, Sam Martin, You guys get on out
here to Fortunate Sun because we're having a party here
with our show until six o'clock and then things head

(23:24):
on out to the Square and Intrinsic. This is a
really fun day. And Ben, the rain is gone and
it is not coming back. You see that sunshine. The
sun is out and it's gonna be a good time
in downtown Garland, right on the square.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
Come join us.

Speaker 3 (23:36):
It's just your normal Friday on the Ben and Skin
Show ninety seven point one The Eagle. I look down
at what's happening on the show. We have in the
five o'clock hour the History of Garland, and the four
o'clock hour Dino News and Solina and right now it's
time for this.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
It's down for science Metro tru Wow, who made that?

Speaker 3 (24:02):
It's a little half assuh.

Speaker 4 (24:07):
Okay. So there's a fifty year old Soviet piece of
space trash that's up there. It's called a probe stuff
sounds weird.

Speaker 3 (24:17):
What does that remind you of? I thought he was
talking about like a cosmonaut that he didn't like. Oh yeah, trash.
I was thanking Vlad.

Speaker 4 (24:25):
I was thinking about one of the greatest escapes and
the history of movies.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
Empire strikes back. Oh yeah, the Empire let go of
the trash. Millennium Falcon disconnects from the side of the
and just floats off with the trash Man space trash
hitting the trash space trash.

Speaker 4 (24:42):
So this space projectile was launched by Russia in nineteen
seventy two and it was intended to go to Venus,
but it's malfunctioned and it's been in Earth's orbit ever since,
and it.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
Is coming back to Earth sometime around May ninth.

Speaker 4 (24:59):
Or May tenth. We got a week here. Wait, it's
coming from Venus.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
No, it's been an Okay, so the Russians put a
bunch of trash in space. Now it's coming back and
it's gonna fall like on Cleveland.

Speaker 4 (25:12):
Yes, this is what's frustrating about these types of articles
signed to say the chance it hits a person is
about one in ten thousand. Oh, that's not a big deal.
But how many people are on Earth? You know, one billion,
one in ten thousand. I like my odds seven billion.

Speaker 3 (25:30):
Well it's about you, it's about someone.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
I like.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
Everybody's odds at one in ten thousand weird.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
And not if you're one of the ten the one
that gets hit.

Speaker 3 (25:38):
Yeah, we're eight billion people right now. No, you don't
take eight billion and divided by ten thousand. They're saying
they've already calculated the odds. You have a one in
ten thousand chance of anyone getting hit by a space trash. Yeah,
but how do you get those odds when there's eight billion? No,
one person is guaranteed to be it, but only one
out of every ten thousand people. No, see, if it

(25:58):
was that way, we're saying, have every ten thousand people
at least one gets hit, right, Which that's different.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
That's all we're saying.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
So you guys were saying eight billion, how many eight
billion people?

Speaker 4 (26:09):
Eight billion?

Speaker 3 (26:10):
Divide that by ten thousand, and then that many people
get hit by space tracks. These are scientists, not mathematicians.
They're saying one out of every ten thousand people will
get hit by a space track.

Speaker 4 (26:19):
So eight billion divided by ten thousand is eight hundred thousand.
Eight hundred thousand people are gonna get hit by space track.
What they're saying that seems like nonsensical, And that's why
we have to start war with Russia.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
Oh that's fair. Why don't we just blow it up?

Speaker 3 (26:32):
Why don't we just take our the best oil drillers
there are, set them up there and let the oil
drillers drill into the trash, break it up into particles
that disintegrate when it comes in.

Speaker 4 (26:41):
Oh, I like this. I feel like I've seen this before.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
No, it's never been thought of.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
Whatever happened to that gal that looked exactly like Steven Tyler.
Lift Tyler does not look like Steven Tyler. I no, no,
but she was not in that concept I came up
with originally. Just now, Oh she wasn't No which one
was she in? Way you were in a different movie.

Speaker 7 (26:58):
Nope.

Speaker 3 (26:58):
I thought she had sex with affleck on an ASTROI
was Armageddon.

Speaker 4 (27:01):
That's where they sent the oil drillers up to blow
it up.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
Yeah, yeah, exact same thing.

Speaker 4 (27:05):
I said. He was wonderful.

Speaker 9 (27:07):
All right.

Speaker 3 (27:07):
Here's the interesting thing about Venus. It represents the female,
but it rhymes with peanis it sounds very crazy?

Speaker 4 (27:15):
Yeah? Why was that such a big trend in like
nineteen ninety four? What's that men are from Mars and
women are from Venus? Was that a book or something?
It was a book and like a whole stand up routine.

Speaker 3 (27:25):
Why you know this because we're like different aliens, Like
we don't know how to communicate, We don't think about
the same things. Well, you know that, you've seen the
thing where it's like the woman's laying in bed and
she's like, I wonder what he's thinking about, and he's
like thinking about chicken nuggets or something. She's like he's
thinking of something really deep. I wonder if he's pondering
our relationship and if he's thinking about the last ten

(27:46):
inside things I've said to him, just the plant of seed,
and he's just sitting there.

Speaker 4 (27:50):
Thinking about No, maybe he should go take a dumber
on it.

Speaker 3 (27:53):
And that was that was really well represented in This
Is forty when she thought he was cheating on her
and he was just trying to breakaway and get to
his fantasy league.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
You just wanted some alone time.

Speaker 3 (28:04):
I just want to go talk to baseball with these guys.

Speaker 4 (28:06):
You know, There's something I was thinking about when it
comes to if there are men, I think this happens
in football season if they get.

Speaker 3 (28:12):
The you watch too much sports.

Speaker 4 (28:14):
But I was like, you know what, the most popular
woman on earth is dating like a popular football player.
So has that gone away? Okay, hold on the guy
that watches too much sports complaint?

Speaker 3 (28:24):
Has that died off now? But Taylor, it has not.
And do you want to know? This is And my
wife agreed with me, this is the worst news story
of the last four hundred years.

Speaker 4 (28:35):
Travis Kelcey unfollowed Ryan Reid or whatever his name is.
Ryan Reynolds on reee social media because Taytay's mad it Blake.

Speaker 3 (28:47):
Blake is so dumb, man, that is so junior high.
What is happening?

Speaker 2 (28:52):
Yeah, it's bad.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
It's bad.

Speaker 4 (28:54):
It's bad for everyone. It's bad for them, it's bad
for teenagers. It's just bad every bit.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
What's bad.

Speaker 3 (28:59):
And you know when she when they started dating. He's
on the best team in football and he's still their
second most important player started to fade a little bit.
It's still gonna be like, hey, I'm here to support
the backup tight end.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
Is that cool? Still?

Speaker 4 (29:13):
I kind of feel like if they won the Super
Bowl he would have retired.

Speaker 3 (29:16):
Dude, He's not even the most athletic Kelsey anymore. I
mean I saw the way that other one was walking
through that crowd drinking that beer.

Speaker 4 (29:23):
He looks great smatching people's so yeah, man, that guy's
kicking ass. And then Tom Cruise News he just did
a big interview with People magazine. So he's got a
new mission Impossible coming out.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
It's going to be the same.

Speaker 4 (29:35):
Weekend as BFD May twenty fifth. Get your tickets.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
It's called The Final Reckoning, yep.

Speaker 4 (29:41):
And there's a scene where he hangs on a plane
that's going like one hundred and twenty.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
Miles per hour does his own stunts?

Speaker 4 (29:46):
Dude, Wait, the plane is going one hundred and twenty
miles an hour. I don't know, man, I think just
to do this, to do the stunt, is he riding
a motorcycle on the wing?

Speaker 2 (29:53):
Maybe he would.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
Yeah, And he's as, how do you do it?

Speaker 4 (29:56):
And he's like, well, I just eat twelve eggs before
I go do these stunts because I had burned.

Speaker 3 (30:03):
Off so much energy. Man, that is that is so
out of touch to do that during this sag shortage. Well,
you know what, I'm rich. He can afford the finest
eggs than dude. He is like I saw him being
a big advocate for Centers. I don't know if he
is involved in the film oh wow, but he was
promoting it like, yeah, go see it in the theater.
I did see that too. I don't think he's involved.
I think he's trying to save movies, like he wants

(30:25):
to save the movie theater. And what's crazy is how
egotistical is that is? He?

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Is he crazy?

Speaker 3 (30:31):
He'd think that because Costner thought he could do that
with his nine piece western thing.

Speaker 4 (30:35):
Yeah, but Costner's thing wasn't fun, right, I mean, like
Mission Impossible, and the live action remake of Lelo and
Stitch is going to break the Barbenheimer's record apparently from
a couple of years ago.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
I think Missionary Impossible it is fun too. Are you
guys starting to come around on tom Cruise? You seem
like you're both fans now hat. I do have an
update though, on something that you were hyping up, and
I experienced it last night and I do want to
talk about it later in the show. So that's a
tease to something that may or may not have happened
in the next two hours. It's the Ben and Skin Show.
We're at Fortunate Son in downtown Garland at the corner
of Fifth and Maine, and coming up next, it's time

(31:07):
to go around the sports and we got lots of stuff.
We got rangers, we got stars, we got soccer team names.
Don't go nowhere anywhere anywhere here on the Eagle.

Speaker 8 (31:17):
Back to the Ben and Skin Show on ninety seven
to one the ego.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
That's right, ninety seven point one The Eagle coming to
you live from Garland, Texas today. We are broadcasting live
from Fortunate Son one of the best pizza joints in
the universe. Man, everybody in Dallas Fort Worth knows that
fortunate son slaps. The pizza here is phenomenal and it's
called New Haven Style, right, Yes, it's a thin crest
style New Haven Style.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
Dave Portnoy from Barstool came all the way over here
to try it. Anytime that happens, you just you crane.
You're like, oh my god, I hope he didn't ruin
someone's business. And it was quite the contrary. He like
absolutely loved it. All he did was echo what everyone
else has been saying that this is one of the
best pizza joints in town. And we know good pizza obviously.
We know Andrews American Pizza Kitchen. Hell, so we know

(32:04):
good pizza, good pizza, recognized good pizza. Now we're out
here for USL Dallas, the new soccer franchise that's here
in Dallas for Worth. They're making a big announcement tonight.
You're gonna get to know their team name. They're gonna
make that announcement, their crest, reveal their colors, their logo.
All that stuff's gonna happen tonight. So there's lots of
excitement and you can come be a part of it.
Just come to the square in downtown Garland. There's gonna
be a little parade, there's gonna be a concert. There's

(32:27):
lots of great places for you to go when you're
down here. I recommend stopping by State and Main. Merchant
Skin told me about it yesterday. Go in there and
get beer to go and then walk around the square.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
With it, because you can do that here.

Speaker 3 (32:38):
I like, you know, we talk about this all the time,
how cool little downtown areas are and the kind of
funky shops that pop up. And the people that started
that they moved out today. They're not far from here.
They moved out here from Arlington. They saw this downtown
area that's like, let's open up a little shop. And
it's kind of like a high end convenience store slash
specialty grocery. That's the best way to describe it. They

(33:01):
have all kinds of cool products. Me and my wife
went in there, just doubled in there one day and
we ended up leaving with a bunch of stuff. There's
so many cool little things. It's man, and I can't
believe I'm saying this. Because we're longtime rivals of Garland
since we're from Richardson. Yeah, I still hate them, I mean,
but dude.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
This is cool.

Speaker 3 (33:17):
This is what you want your small town downtown to be,
like a cool square with a nice brewery and you know,
cool places to go and a culture. It's eclectic, it's
it's a whole vibe. I'm here on into the evening. Man,
We're not leaving when the show's over. We're gonna stick around.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
See what's what? Yeah, dude, so you.

Speaker 4 (33:34):
Guys, something pops off?

Speaker 2 (33:35):
Yeah, wait for something to pop right?

Speaker 4 (33:37):
You know who might be here?

Speaker 3 (33:38):
Is chance the rapper just waiting for something to pop off?

Speaker 4 (33:41):
Right?

Speaker 9 (33:41):
All right?

Speaker 3 (33:42):
We got so much coming to ways. We continue to
broadcast from Garland. We got a weekly weekday update coming up,
big news for Christina and her favorite dinosaur, and we
got the Today Game, a couple of mystery segments, the
history of Garland. And then we're going to run out
the clock as we continue to look forward to the
hour drink live during a radio show from Fortunate Sun.

Speaker 4 (34:00):
It right now, it's time for this.

Speaker 3 (34:01):
Now that's cool around the sports KG tweets as all
the sports.

Speaker 4 (34:10):
All right, which one do you want to do. We
got a lot of stuff. What kind of sports do
you guys want to just guide us?

Speaker 6 (34:15):
Bro?

Speaker 4 (34:16):
I mean, I got so many much sports on dude.

Speaker 3 (34:18):
Dale Hanson never did that he didn't like And now
let's go to Dale Hanson for the sports.

Speaker 4 (34:22):
And he's like, I don't know, what do the viewers want?
What should I do?

Speaker 2 (34:25):
I don't know, turns to Cynthia.

Speaker 3 (34:26):
He'sa Gara Cynthia. I mean, there's a lot of games happened,
and what do you think?

Speaker 4 (34:30):
To be fair, it was Dale's show, though.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
Okay, I'm glad he admitted that he had a very
small role in the show, even though he plans the
entire show and without him wouldn't be on the They've.

Speaker 4 (34:42):
Had a lot of people complaining about the content lately.
That right, skin weight at me not God, it did great.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
With Vinnon's getting complained about the content.

Speaker 3 (34:54):
Well, you were over here.

Speaker 4 (34:55):
You were over here about to spew about the Jalen
Brudson thing.

Speaker 3 (34:59):
Okay, do you want me to go off on that, yeah, get.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
Out of the way.

Speaker 4 (35:01):
I'll do it quickly.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
So I've been very interested in that series because we
love Jalen Brunson and also, I mean, I'll just say
it personal friends with Casey Smith. I love Casey and
he's in New York now and I want him to
do well. And so when they were matched up with Detroit,
I have a big affinity for Detroit.

Speaker 4 (35:23):
Number one. I love their story.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
They were one of the worst teams in the history
of basketball in the first half of last year. Now
they're the sixth seed, and they're the sixth seed because
of Cade Cunningham out of Mansfield, and he is the
next big thing, if he's not already, he has a
complete badass. They split the first two games in New York.
Game three, Tim Hardaway Junior, they're down one, shoots at

(35:47):
three in the corner. Josh Hart just slides into him.
No foul called. Five minutes later, the NBA admits we
missed a call. Wow in a playoff series, so they
would have had a chance to go up to one,
didn't do it. New York gets to win. So last
night Game six in Detroit, they've already gotten one game

(36:08):
taken away from him. They come back into fourth quarter
Detroit does they're kicking ass.

Speaker 4 (36:14):
They go up big, not big, it's like eight points,
like seven or eight, and then Jalen Brunson, who ended
the game with forty. They go on an eleven to
one run to end it, including you saw that final
three he hit in which he just destroyed all of
Thompson's limbs.

Speaker 3 (36:32):
Yeah, it was like, you know, Jordan's big push off
shot to win against Cleveland. Where is it elo or
he pushes somebody with his off hand. Yeah, I couldn't
tell if there was a push and they didn't even
touch him. The defender went flying with two broken ankles
on roller skates. It just gave him a wide open
shot and Brunson so they had the chance to take
the final shot. Brunson broke those dudes on ankles so bad.

(36:55):
He just pulled up with four seconds to go because
it was a wide open three. Why wouldn't you take it?
So anyways, they win the series. I'm happy for them.
I kind of hurt for Detroit, but it was a
great series. I wanted it to go seven. But mark
my words, that dude Thompson that was covering Jalen Brunson,
him and his twin brother who plays for the Rockets,
were both lottery picks three years ago.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
And amen, oh.

Speaker 3 (37:18):
Dude, yeah, they are both going to be first team
All NBA Old defense for decades like them, they're amazing.
And Brunson shook that dude so bad. Yeah, he just
the Amen brothers. He just slid out. It was incredible.
Uh okay, So in hindsight, because I saw this last night,
is this hyperbole? Actually was today? It was who's the

(37:42):
NBA player who's on like get up one of those shows?

Speaker 1 (37:45):
Now?

Speaker 3 (37:46):
Who is here? Pretty wrecka motorcycle? He's a little guard Williams? Yeah, yeah,
who said he he thinks Jalen Brunson is the best
nick of all time. That's that's horrible. Think about the
hyperbole of that.

Speaker 4 (37:58):
It's doing that on purpose. That is horrible. They do
what they do.

Speaker 3 (38:02):
Okay, but hold on, let me say this, say he
has a chance. Okay, okay, but from here said like,
look at the narratives and national media today it's it's
I'm not saying this is real. I'm just saying, is
Jalen Brunson the best nick ever? Which is foolish to
even say that, But that was a topic on a
national sports show. And what the hell are the Lakers

(38:24):
going to do about Luca? He won't listen to anyone,
He'll never get in shape. He's had all these great
coaches like those. Those are the two narratives right now.
And if you were in hindsight, if you look at that,
should the MAVs have just kept Brunson built around Brunson
now that I know this, yes, absolutely well, you had
a time machine, you know what I mean? Because think

(38:44):
about what you could have gotten for Luca. You know
what I'm saying. If you just said I'm gonna build
around Jalen Brunson, oh my god. If you don't, I
don't like trade him immediately for Anthony Davis. Think about
what you could have gotten for him, right. It hurts
to think about the past. That's hurt to think about that,
you know. Hey, And then of course Popovich is transitioning

(39:08):
to team president. You have a relationship with pop You've
always admired him. He's a phenomenal dude, so well respected.

Speaker 4 (39:14):
You make of that. He's a legend.

Speaker 3 (39:16):
And I kind of had heard rumblings that that was
going to happen, not that he was going to become
team president, but that he was going to step down.
But he is such a legend. I would say he
is no offense to Phil Jackson or pat Riley. I
think he's the greatest NBA coach of all time to
do what he did in that market. And man, it

(39:37):
is going to be so painful as people watch Giannis
as a Spur.

Speaker 4 (39:41):
Oh my god, you think it's happening yesterday. I think
it's I would if I were to bet, if if
I had to place a bet right now, I would
bet Jannis as a Spur.

Speaker 3 (39:50):
Next, what would Oklahoma City get involved even if they
didn't want to, just to keep it from going to
the Spur.

Speaker 4 (39:54):
So here's the interesting.

Speaker 3 (39:55):
Thing about that, Like, if you're Milwaukee, it's just a
bidding war san Antonio has. That's how it should be
when you have a legendary superstar. You should let everyone
bed dude that's thirty or twenty five either way. Okay,
uh so, yeah, dude, Milwaukee's gonna get a ransom, and
san Antonio's drafted some good players that they can make

(40:16):
it work salary wise and give them multiple lottery picks. Okay,
but since everyone knows they're going to trade him on
his agent get involved, they'll have to get less and
force him somewhere.

Speaker 4 (40:25):
I mean, it's a little different when the guy wants
to leave. Yeah, right, Like that's the difference in the
Lucas situation. He may yeah, he may yeah, missrue and
Giannis already has all his money. This is gonna hurt
so much when you see what they get for Giannis.
Let's keep the sports going.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
Okay, let's keep this going. We'll carried over, we'll be back.
We'll get into this in just over three minutes. So
don't go anywhere. We're just three minutes away from picking
up this conversation on the other side life from Fortunate Son.
It is the Ben and Skin Show ninety some point
one the Eagle where at Fortunate Son, Downtown Garland, corner
of fifth and Maine. Get out here. It's going to
be an incredible Friday. But here with more sports is tizzl.

Speaker 4 (41:00):
Hey, thank you. Uh so here's the situation. Uh, the
Stars lost last night. So Game seven tomorrow night is
at seven o'clock. Did you watch it? I yeah, I did.

Speaker 3 (41:10):
They gave me two.

Speaker 4 (41:11):
Goals and like the final six or seven minutes, like dude,
they pulled they pulled the goal.

Speaker 3 (41:16):
No, no, before no, no, I know. But when they
were the Stars were up five four and then they
gave up two goals back to back.

Speaker 4 (41:22):
They were up four three four three. Yeah, and then
they but it had been right at the end. Dude,
that second period is wild. So tomorrow night period seven,
it's not it's not a late one or anything. And
that'll happen at seven five point fifty seven. Tomorrow is
the Kentucky Derby, and journalism is going to get the win.
Called it is that the name of it's the name
of the horse. There's also a horse named Testastic, but

(41:44):
at the z of the team may be different, very strange.

Speaker 3 (41:47):
Is there one called uh horse dung Rogers. There's not
one named horse dung.

Speaker 4 (41:53):
Rodgers this year?

Speaker 3 (41:54):
Oh okay, horse dong rod The coach just told me
it was horse dumb.

Speaker 4 (41:59):
The Rangers have situation. They made a big trade in
the off season forgot him Jake Berger. Yeah. Then they
decided after yesterday's loss so they didn't score again, to
send Jake Berger to Triple A to get right.

Speaker 3 (42:11):
Yeah, because he's a he's a young player that really
needs a lot of help.

Speaker 4 (42:15):
He's pretty established now, you guess have some personal life stuff. Man,
He's got a daughter, he's got some a bad disease
and things like that, wait to make me feel bad. Well,
it's just that, you know, you just following the team
a little bit.

Speaker 3 (42:25):
But dude, it's it's uh. They're on the story at
the beginning of the year, they're not hitting. Chris Young
is showing that I'm not going to tolerate that. I
can't just sit around here and wait for this to
work itself out. I'm not just gonna hope that it
turns around. But it is interesting that Jake Berger is
the one who gets sent down because like in the
last few weeks, he's one of the four to six

(42:45):
guys who's kind of turned it around a little bit.
There are other guys who just aren't seeing a lot
of pitches or swinging at everything, and they aren't getting hits.
But when we acquired him, Sandler told me burger better, Burger.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
Better, burger better.

Speaker 4 (42:57):
Hello, Right, the whole thing.

Speaker 3 (42:59):
I think otis his time is running out too, and
I think they gotta make some moves. I think they're
gonna have to make some moves just because it's just
not working out. I would move leotis just the left.

Speaker 4 (43:10):
Come on, man, it's twenty ninth and runs per game.
Twenty ninth and all pretty much all the offensive stats.
There's a lot of people talking about will just fire
the hitting coach or one of the hitting instructors. The
history of Bruce Bochie as he has never fired any
of his coaches in the.

Speaker 3 (43:26):
Middle of the year. But it's not You're bringing a
different coach and goes hey, swing less, and all of
a sudden, they're swinging less.

Speaker 4 (43:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (43:32):
It.

Speaker 3 (43:32):
Guys are who they are, and if they're aggressive, they're
overly aggressive of swinging early early in the count and
it's worked for him.

Speaker 4 (43:38):
They're not going to change all of a sudden, and
I'm not worried about it. The history of Bochie is
that they're gonna win the World Series this year. That
is the history. And I think they're fine. That's the
thing is, They're not like buried or anything's so good,
like right around five hundred whatever. Saddle Town. Now, I
think there was a concert that was scheduled that had
to be postponed, but I'm not sure. I was looking
for clarity on that. Is that a support story? Wellou
do you remember when the Bad Bunny had to postpone

(44:00):
his concert because the Mavericks played last year? Last year too,
don't I think I know that story.

Speaker 3 (44:08):
Actually big concert, sold out concert, American arend Center. That
people are driving in the playoffs and the playoffs yeah yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (44:15):
Because you know, their schedule is very just made for
TV and they move things around and a lot of
people had to you know, that's why they canceled their
flights and know all that's why the Mavericks new arena
is going to be a basketball facility. Is that all
the sports? That's all I got? Because here's what I'll
show you this again.

Speaker 9 (44:30):
That was good.

Speaker 2 (44:31):
Look who I played Call of Duty with last night?

Speaker 4 (44:34):

Speaker 7 (48:07):
I was feeding things down?

Speaker 2 (48:10):
Yep, Christie.

Speaker 4 (48:11):
There's a guy named Steve Schlesing. He's a sixty one
year old man from Flower Mountain.

Speaker 3 (48:15):
Here's the story. He's a mechanical engineer, but five years.

Speaker 4 (48:18):
Ago he took up fossil hunting and he'd heard from
one of his science buddies that up in Ben's neighborhood,
right around a Rollertown beer works in Solina, you can
find some fossils of some animals from the Crestaceous period.

Speaker 5 (48:33):
Dude, and now I'll need to do a promotion for
roller Town. Have a beer and do some fossil digging.
Let me tell you, that is a nerd thing to
say it.

Speaker 4 (48:41):
I thought of a beer name for him because he
found some shark teeth, sharp teeth, some shark teeth, oh shark.
And then he was like, oh, this is awesome. I'm
gonna come back. He's a big fossil hunter guy, big
nerd guy. So he comes back out a couple months
later and he sees a big bone popping out of
the ground, dives in a little bit more. Ernie Hollers
at the Proro Museum says, y'all got to check this out.

Speaker 8 (49:03):
What is it?

Speaker 4 (49:04):
They get their excavator out there, they start digging, and
they found out that they found some fossils of Christina's
favorite dinosaur, the Policeosaurus, oh.

Speaker 3 (49:14):
In Solina.

Speaker 4 (49:16):
And that's why y'all have to have a beer called
the Policio Sour.

Speaker 3 (49:19):
Oh that's good man.

Speaker 2 (49:23):
Yeah, I really don't like it that much anymore.

Speaker 4 (49:26):
I like better than his booty called joke.

Speaker 3 (49:28):
I liked it at first, but now three seconds of hindsight,
I'm got his into it. Right now, Alexis, Texas is
someone that has a lot of hindsight, you know what
I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (49:37):
Right as I was going to the bathroom here at
Fortunate Sun. I'm sorry, Christina. Hold on, Christina, the policeosaurus,
would you like to explain them?

Speaker 3 (49:45):
This is your big moment here.

Speaker 7 (49:47):
You basically pooped all over the idea of a policio.

Speaker 5 (49:49):
Sourme. Guys, look at the dinosaur. You could definitely sell
that he was.

Speaker 3 (49:54):
Going to go to you to get your thoughts, and
then he just immediately went to telling a story about
going to the bathroom instead.

Speaker 4 (49:58):
Well, no, I had a good Internet with the listeners.

Speaker 3 (50:01):
I did it some good customer service with the with
the listener.

Speaker 4 (50:04):
Uh So, Christina, the Flicio story better your favorite dinosaurs.

Speaker 7 (50:08):
It was a swimmer, Yeah, it was a swimmer.

Speaker 5 (50:11):
It's kind of like it's a long neck basically, because
I would call it a sauropod, but I'm not going
to do that to you, guys.

Speaker 7 (50:16):
It's a long neck.

Speaker 5 (50:18):
Just did that's actually a carnivore and it's in the water.
It's like the best of all of them, and it's
all together and it's awesome. And the pokemon was a
lapris back in the day.

Speaker 4 (50:25):
So there you go.

Speaker 7 (50:26):
Christina, just nerd it out hard for you.

Speaker 4 (50:28):
When Texas was covered in the sea, its fossils ended
up in Salina.

Speaker 3 (50:33):
You get dinosaurs in your backyard, dude, that means it
was it was a sea creature or like going lakes

to be there.

public cation's credit Mike Judge, the creator of Ters.

Speaker 2 (01:09:03):
Yeah it was.

Speaker 3 (01:09:04):
Some give him Plano and some give him Richardson. I
don't know that he was born in any of those places,
but he lived in all of them and obviously if
you've ever seen King of the Hill, you dropped the
g and they're from Arlon.

Speaker 2 (01:09:19):
Yeah, which is great.

Speaker 4 (01:09:21):

Speaker 4 (01:10:08):
I had no idea, no wonder Troy was. I had
so many shares.

Speaker 3 (01:10:11):
I don't know much about it because for me, it's
an inferior wing product than what I'm accustomer. I'm a
Pluckers guy. But for some they enjoy it. I think
also that Salad Place was founded.

Speaker 4 (01:10:21):
That's my problem with wing stuff right now is just
that Troy used to do so many commercials for it,
and now he's doing billboards on salad and go. I
bring it up once a week because people need to know.

the people who are.

Speaker 3 (01:12:11):
