"Who the hell is Jim Miller—and why does he have a street named after him?"That’s the hilarious question that kicks off this wildly entertaining episode of The Ben and Skin Show on 97.1 The Eagle, featuring Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray.The crew dives into the Mavericks’ historic preseason game in Fort Worth—their first since 1994—and the star-studded front row featuring none other than Leon Bridges, who’s now getting his own street named after him. But what starts as a tribute to Fort Worth’s music scene quickly spirals into a laugh-out-loud exploration of street name mysteries, AI-powered holograms, and dogs hosting podcasts.

(00:23):
Pop culture Halloween segment coming up. What are the costumes
that everyone will be wearing this Halloween. We'll get into
that at the bottom of the hour, but right now
it's time for this Skinny Is Traffic, another edition of
things skin Is Traffic. All right, So last night the
Mams did their preseason game in Fort Worth. They hadn't
(00:43):
played in Fort Worth since nineteen ninety four and today
one of the guys who was sitting on the front
row is Leon Bridges. Yeah, he was there looking like
a rock star. You know, there's certain people that no
matter where they go or whatever they wear, they'll look
like they're of a rock star. Lenny Kravitz. Lenny Kravitz
for sure, and Leon Bridges has that thing. And today
(01:07):
over there in the near south Side area, they are
turning Calhoun Street into Leon Bridges Street over there for
his contributions to Fort Worth cool Arts community and all
that sucks for Calhoun. Yeah, he's it was a band.
It was a Dallas band in the nineties and now
they're getting their their street. In the two thousands into
(01:28):
the twenty tens, Danny Bales used to play with them.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Do you guys ever ponder where street names come from? Yes,
quite a bit.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
So my dad was a real estate developer and at
one point in his life and so he developed communities, neighborhoods,
and then you know, sell the lots to homebuilders and
in those situations my mom named the streets that's badass.
And so like residential wise, I think it's pretty much
up to whoever. I'm sure they have some saying some
range of what could be allowed and what couldn't be allowed.
(02:04):
But you see, like ceremonial street names changed, like Novitzky
Way and Martin Luther King things like that.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Yep, And there's so in neighborhoods it's always a lot
of like oak Berry Boulevard, and like they're just kind
of looking around at wildlife or forest things. They just
smash those things together. But when you do have a
name change, a street name change, and you give it
to a famous person, that's always really interesting to me.
(02:31):
You know, there's famous people like Ben mentioned Davitsky, and
then there's Tom Landry on thirty who's got to stretch
a highway. There's the George Bush Freeway LBJ for his
Big Balls LBJ for his big balls. But then there's
always other street names that are people, and if you
don't really know the history of your city, you probably
don't know why they're there. Yeah, for sure, Like have
(02:53):
you ever have you ever seen a street name and
you don't know who the person is and you're, hell,
is Jim Miller? Thank you? Who is Jim Miller?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
I think that's why I think AI is great in
situations like this. But I need it to be I
need to be voice activated. What do you mean? I
want to be able to say, like, have it set
up at all times in my car and say, hey,
why is this called Jim Miller Boulevard? And I wanted
to just tell me.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Okay, Now you can do that and you can say hey,
Siri and then you'll give you an answer that has
nothing to do with the question you asked. Siri sucks. Hey, hey, Siri,
how old is Tom Cruise? Thirty six centimators.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I think that's the best thing about owning a tesla
is that you can just do that in your tesla.
I don't know if it's available anyway, because it's rocked.
I think the guy just pops up like a hologram next.
I mean, it would be great.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Oh, there's Jim Miller.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
If you could, it'd be.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Great if you could.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
I've thought about this, like when you're getting you're talking
to Siri, why couldn't you change it to Snoop Dogg
and have it be Snoop Dogg's voice and in same
with AI, Hey, AI, will Snoop Dogg tell me why
this is called Jim Miller Boulevard? And that would be
great if a hologram up been popped up and he
explained it. I bet we'll have that by March.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
We get that with the like maps, right, like GPS,
because maps or something, they you could change it to
someone's voice. Yeah, yeah, you're right, it's only a matter
of time.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
There's a I don't know what the program's called it
starts with an S or something. But my kids were
showing me the new open AI. I think it's called Sephora.
I don't know. I know it's a makeup place. What
isn't Did you guys see this new launch over the weekend.
It's like, starts with an S. I don't use technology anymore. Yeah,
(04:37):
And they were showing me these movies that people were
making with it, and I was like, this is and
it's it's open, it's not like you have to go
pay for the app. And I'm watching like an entire
two minute science fiction film on their phone someone just
threw together. And I'm like, what in the hell is happening? Like,
(05:00):
we're not that far removed from just you know, talking
into your phone and it gives you a paragraph, and
now I'm watching whole sci fi movies. My daughter was
showing me a video of an old lady on her
porch with a grizzly bear and she was feeding the
grizzly bear and it was the realest thing I've ever
seen and it was something that a user made. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
I've been getting sucked into dogs doing podcasts.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Katie's been showing me those and they're actually really funny. Also,
is it called Sora srs?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Yes? Yes, so Sora version two Open Ai came out
over the weekend, and it looks like Spielberg Studios. This
golden retriever is a great podcast host, and the husky goes,
why should I have to be the one that poops outside?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Have you ever smelled the bathroom after she gets done
in there?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
And that golden retriever puts his paws in the desk.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I hope Ted Cruz puts this on his podcast.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
All right, sorrychecked that, but no, it's open bait ai
and street names.
