- 🎤 Ben’s sick day voicemail — a surreal, raspy monologue featuring unicorns, tomatoes, and a howling dog that proves he’s not using a voice filter.
- 🥵 Krystina’s hangover saga and the no-AC “Save the Cicada” show in Fort Worth.
- 🚗 Skin’s near-death tollway tale involving a tire explosion, a four-lane scramble, and a 911 call that somehow made him a hero.

I have to give a big shout out real quick
(01:39):
to our very loyal listeners. You guys know them, Daniel, Mikey,
p roth Iel, even Tommy. They all showed up even
though there was severe weather on the way, you know.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Incredible.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
And then when we got to the Cicada wasn't aware
of this, there was no ac Oh. I don't know
if you guys know how hot it was yesterday. It was.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
It was hot.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
We need to save this.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
I don't even want to be around anymore, dude, it was.
It was miserable. And those guys stayed before our set,
after our set, and it's just it's really really cool
of them to do that.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
So I love to hear that. Yeah, she did do
these Save the Cicada's air Conditioning System show yesterday. It's
over in a fun part of town, though. Man, I
am so down with the near south side area of
Fort Worth. Yeah, love that area. Tizzle Ben's not here today. Yeah,
did you know that? Coming into today?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I knew that.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
How did you know? I have an email account. Oh
just hear what Ben sounds like.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Yes, greetings fellow Been and Skin show hosts and listeners
on ninety seven to one The Eagle, this is Ben
Rogers reporting live, well not actually live from my house.
There's a tiny dog howling in the background. I'm not
sure you can hear that. Probably heard that one. I
(02:59):
am under the weather, so I will not be doing
the show today on this Monday. My voice right now
sounds like John Coffee in the Big Green Mile. Shout
out to Michael Clark Duncan that this might be my
new me. I'm like that Kennedy Health, Dude, don't eat that.
(03:19):
You should not eat that. Do you know where those
tomatoes were grown? That's me now. So I'm probably going
to go shoot and eat a unicorn then leave its
corpse in a small forest. I can't remember the details anyways,
just wanted to wish you all the very best. Thanks
for listening. Godspeed to my boy said to buy how wow?
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Okay, Ben, you're gonna send that to Christina because there's
so many things in there she's gonna want forever. Sounds
like a bond villain man that has so been to
not be on the air and just do a political
joke and then run and hide from it. Make sure
to tune in today at three forty four.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
By the way, probably heard that one.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Well, the little dog is proof that he didn't put
any effect on it, you know, because it kind of
sounds like there's an effect, But the dog is proof
that there's no.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Proves that it's real. There's a really, there's a lot
of I just realized there's really there's a lot of
good jokes here, a lot of good jobs. Hold on,
hold on, there's gonna be a lot of good drops.
Hold on, hold on everyone.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Wait ready, yep.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Probably heard that one.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
That was fast work, impressive.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I'm gonna need you next time to have the fart
then the dog howl then though, you probably heard that one.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Oh sorry next time.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
So anyways, but Ben was fighting, you know, he sounded
kind of funky on Friday. Yeah he did, but you know,
he seemed to be upbeat and chipper, so I didn't
think anything about it. And then I talked to him
Saturday and he was like, man, I'm a little on
to the weather, but I should be fine. And then
I talked to him yesterday and it was pretty clear
he was getting worse. Well, we thought we might see
(05:07):
him today. Yeah, and now evidence exhibit a no Ben.
So there you go. I think this text message he
said it sounded like Larry King swallowed a buick. Yeah,
it's very strange. But anyways, we do have lots of
fun stuff to get to today. I did have the
terrifying thing happen. This is more of a Ben kind
of thing, but it happened to me driving in. I
(05:28):
was actually talking to Ben and the dude in the
I was on the far right lane of the toll
way headed southbound, had just passed you know whatever that
is Keller Area, and a guy in the far left lane,
I just saw this like explosion, mini explosion. And I
don't know if he was on his phone and just
(05:50):
swerved into the rails. Yeah, and then that caused his
tire to explode, or if his tire exploded. First it
looked to me like he hit the first and then
it exploded, but I don't know. Then he has to
get all the way over four lanes, so I see it.
So I'm slowing down, but man, I'm looking at cars
behind me coming in at eighty and I'm like, man,
(06:12):
they're gonna crash into my ass because he's got to
get all the way over to the right, and most
of good chunks of the toll way there's no there's
no room. He found one little small space of service road.
He got so lucky, damn so lucky. Yeah, you guys
remember the time that my I ran out of gas. Yes,
(06:35):
and on the toll way, and you just it's very
unsafe because there it's undulating in terms of the height.
So you know, you go right over a little mini
hill and there could be a car stop and you
have no idea. Everyone's tall and ass. There is no
side service road. It's wild, dude. That's that's probably the
most fear I've ever felt, in terms of immediate fear,
(06:57):
like I'm about to die.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
So you stopped and help them change tire? Right?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I called nine one one. Okay, do you guys ever
do that I'm supposed to that there's a whole number
on your driver's license. Well, I don't have time to.
If I got my driver's license out and looked at it,
I would cause a wreck. So I called nine to
one one and they immediately patched me through to the
tollway authority. Really yeah, just hold on one second. We'll
get you to the toll way. And it just took
a second.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Okay, all right, thanks for you, so I'm a hero.
We got lots to get to today, including on the
Hollywood shuffle combination of Sydney Sweeney and Black Sabbath, but
coming up next things that I'm tracking. Yesterday was the
first day I learned about this very important weather development,
and we'll discuss it next
