How Many Spots Are Your Spot?

“How many spots in your home truly feel like yours?” That’s the question Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray tackle in this laugh-out-loud episode of The Ben and Skin Show. A new survey says the average American has two personal spots at home—but the crew quickly realizes this is a much deeper (and funnier) conversation than expected.From the sacred bed spot that sparks marital turf wars to KT’s legendary lawn chair era (yes, a lawn chair in the living room), the gang shares their quirks, confessions, and hilarious stories about claiming space.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Been in Skin Show ninety seven point one. The Eagle
coming up here in thirty minutes. We'll do five things
that shape DFW sports history. We also have nine inch
Nails tickets to give away at some point today. You'll

to the AAC in March, but right now it's time
for this.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Give me that moves quickie. Yeah, get some research. There's
a new survey out and basically it was asking people
how many places at your home, like would you consider
like your spot? And the average American has two spots

(00:39):
at their homestead that they call theirs. Okay, so I
was wondering how many spots do you guys have at home?
Because I think I have three?

Speaker 3 (00:49):
You have three?

Speaker 4 (00:50):
Do you count toilet the toilet? Does your toilet or
your bed count?

Speaker 2 (00:56):
I'm yeah, I'm counting bed right not? Okay? There every
night if I if you if you sleep in the
same spot, and if you rotate or switch.

Speaker 4 (01:04):
I can't imagine that. That seems like insanity to me
to do what people rotating the spot? Yeah, no, you
can't do like you have your spot they have their spot.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
If sometimes my wife will lay just for a n apple,
lay on my side of the bed, and if I
walk in, I just fall apart. Why are you there?
Like that's where I lay down. You know, I just
can't handle it.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
And the sleep number setting is probably different, right, you
got to fix that. You have to, Yes, count the bed,
bathroom is a tough one. Shower that to me that
those are pretty basic. Well so sleeping, I guess.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
No, no, no, sleeping is different. I think sleeping is
different because someone else might use the same shower and toilet.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
Yeah, you know, yeah, do y'all Do y'all have.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
A kitchen table at your house?

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Sort of?

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Not really?

Speaker 4 (01:50):
Not really, we don't really either.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yeah, okay, we have a kitchen table, and I sit
at the same spot at the kitchen table every time
I sit at the kitchen table. So technically that's my spot.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
I have that too because it's a you know, because
I have a better angle at the TV.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
Right, that's my number one spot. I would say, it's
not a kitchen table necessarily, just in this big room,
there's like a dining room table, but it's not a
dining room. But that spot is where I watched TV
from as well.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
That counts.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Yeah, do you have a do you guys have a chair?

Speaker 3 (02:18):
Yes, that's it.

Speaker 4 (02:19):
I got here, I got it.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
I got my own chair.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
It's my number one spot. And I mentioned like Vida.
When Vida stayed with us, I would come home and
she'd be sitting in my chair and I would just
be like, oh, that's a deep breath, take a deep breath.
It is not important. I am not that petty, but
it was ruined my day for at least five minutes.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
I am. I'll walk in and go. You don't belong there. No, No,
I have paperwork. Wake her up from her nap to
tell her, hey, hey, hey wake up. No, you don't
even have to wake her up. You can just grab
her by the feet and drag her out of the chair. No,
you sleep there. I would never Yeah, I got I
got a spot at a kitchen table. I got a
chair that's mine. I got my bedspot. And then I

(03:00):
I also have like my own office.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
Does that count Yeah? No, absolutely, I've got an office
and that's yeah. Absolutely, I have an office chair. But
I don't have the living room chair. That's something I covet.
I just had the spot on the couch that I'm
always in, which is my spot. Okay, but I need
to I would like to have a chair.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
You need your chair for it.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
Dude, you need a chair, then get him a chair.
For years he had a lawn chair in the living,
his own lawn chair.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Man was getting by man.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
My wife never got beyond this. Wait, so there's a
lawn chair and he's sitting. It's his lawnchair. Honey, It's
really all he had. But he was a young man
that was growing.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yeah, that will lay underneath the Weirdly, I had a
coffee table though. That's how the coffee table. Sometimes I
was depressed to find a way though we're good.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
I used to sell tickets for people to go watch
KT sitting in his lawn chair.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
They just sit on his balcony.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Pay a little extra scratch.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Dude, do you y'all have an outside space?

Speaker 2 (04:03):
I do.

Speaker 4 (04:05):
There's the one spot I would prefer to be if
I'm sitting outside.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
For sure, I have the same spot I always go
to when I sit outside.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
I don't really sit up. I mean, we have a
hammock that I've got to fix. But I do love
sitting outside on a hammock. If that counts.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
I think Hammicks are badass till you reach a certain
age and it's very difficult for you to get up
out of anything.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Like I used to love hammocks, but now I look
at it. Go, I could never make my way out
of that.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
I don't know, of course.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
Dream Wait, why why are you telling me that your boyfriend,
Mike's Roy is not going to go out there and
fix that hammock?

Speaker 3 (04:35):
Well, he no, he's offered to. We're like missing a
screw or something, so he's telling me, tell me where
it's at, I'll take it to home depot. And I
haven't told him.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
It's really it's really hard for him since we had
daylight saving time, because he's never awake before the sun
goes down.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
Dude, the sun sets at three o'clock. Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
For me, the reason I bring that up is because
my wife is like you, She would just go fix it.
She would not even go to me to do it.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
I'm about to just do it, right, My wife would
want me to fix it, and so in order to
give me to fix it, you go, I'm going to
call a handy man.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
I'd be like, cool, good, good luck, yeah, let me know.
I go.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yeah. Yeah, if you find a good handyman, let me know.
I'd like to be able to refer him to other people.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
I'd like to put him on the payroll.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
Man.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
I like this.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
I think I think this is true. I think people
are just they're creatures of habit and comfort, and you
merge those two things together and you get your spot.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
Well, you mentioned your wife sleeping in your spot. I
do kind of want to try that. Maybe listeners should too.
Just sleep in the opposite side and see what your significant.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Others says or tape on it.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah, get to bed early and just take a spot.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
What what are you doing, dude?

Speaker 1 (05:42):
No, pretend like you're asleep, even if you're not. See
that it's willing to wake you up for it. Yeah,
put put your phone on record and lay down. Act
like you're asleep when they walk in. Let's see we
can get audio. That'd be so great.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
What is it.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
It's about three forty five right now or so. I
mean basically he'll be waking up in a couple hours,
so he will not have heard this.

Speaker 4 (05:59):
So this is it's great.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
What a plan? All right?

Speaker 4 (06:01):
There you have it. How many spots do you have
at your spot all right? Coming up next, where are
you gonna take us in the cookie jar?

Speaker 3 (06:08):
I was shocked to see who's doing an ACE freely tribute,
and I think you guys will be too,
