In this segment of the Ben and Skin show, the crew dives headfirst into the bizarrely mild Texas weather and spirals into a whirlwind of speculation, sarcasm, and snack-related revelations. Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray bring their signature blend of wit and randomness to a segment that starts with climate confusion and ends with a $2 Slim Jim deal at 7-Eleven.From Ben’s suggestion that Tom Cruise might be behind the unseasonably pleasant temperatures to KT’s philosophical musings on global warming and the Farmer’s Almanac, this episode is packed with quotable moments and laugh-out-loud tangents, while Krystina keeps the crew grounded as they riff on everything from El Niño to Labor Day snack planning.

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Track another edition of things.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
So I'm weirded out by unseasonably nice weather. Yeah, like
it's it kind of scares me.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Like we only had like a week of kind of
intense heat and it wasn't.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
What we're used to, right, Yeah, good summer. We okay,
got it. Don't don't jump there. Tom Cruise made it happen,
is okay?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Now I'm okay with that.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
I'm I'm I'm not okay with whatever Kat said, but
I'm okay with the idea that Tom Cruise made it happen.
I looked ahead because you know, the last couple of days,
it's it hadn't been outrageously hot hot yesterday, budd it did,
it did, and today that the high is ninety five
with a real fill of one o four in the afternoon, okay,
(00:50):
like five o'clock a little bit later.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
I would like you.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
To develop a character named real Phil. But I'm interested
in looking ahead because we have a holiday weekend and
today the high is ninety five. After that, the highs
are eighty nine, eighty five, eighty four, eighty seven, eighty eight,
eighty six, seventy eight, seventy nine, eighty two.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I'm jumping a whole week and a half ahead. Are
we done with the summer? I don't know, Okay, don't don't.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Is this a walking up to a guy and a
no hitter and going, hey, I don't think you've given
up a hit?
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Hey, let me rub your shoulder. But I but no,
but Ben, you bring it up.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
And so I'm I'm confused because when we had that
precipitous temperature drop, I was like, Okay, in three days,
it's going to.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Pop back up to one hundred.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
We didn't have that many hundred degree days this year, right, But.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
It's also not an El Nino year.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
So it has been miserable though it sucks so bad,
but I expect it to be miserable for three months
now and I'm not.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
We've had a great sum We've had a great one
of the more mild summers of our time of ours.
Now a real, a real sword to my global warming
okay stance?
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Why just because.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
People don't look at the big picture, they look at
they'll take one season in a small sample size.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
I know your captain climate, but is are you Are
you saying that it's a less harsh summer because of
the all the emissions into the atmosphere.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
No, No, I don't really have anything to do with
eathing is more like an El Nino situation. Elmer brings
more heat. Yeah, you know they're calling for a colder,
wetter winter. So I did they is the Farmer's Almanac?
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I did hear people say, does this mean we're gonna
have a twenty twenty one February? Like that's that's being
bandied about, right, I love saying bandied.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
And the same segment which I said, precipitous, it's.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Kind of like rifling. Yeah, rifled, hey, rifle through your stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
So then I started going, all right, we're gonna have
a three day weekend.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
We're not.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I'm a spoiler alert. The Bend and Skin Show will
not be doing a live show on Labor Day, but
tune in to listen because we need the ratings. Yes,
we're gonna trick them.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
I think tricking them with the best of is confusing.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
It's clearly segments from twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, during February, So it's all gonna be segmenting segments
from February of twenty twenty one. So I started looking ahead,
going okay, now there is gonna be some a smattering
of rain, but that's okay, not on Labor Day. So
then I start thinking, all right, man, maybe i'll actually,
you know, enjoy myself on Labor Day.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Not like that.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
I'm not going to announce that on the radio. I
announced that on Instagram. So I was like, all right, well,
I'm gonna start searching around see what's happening on Labor Day?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Man?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
And I saw this little news story and it was
sixteen places that are going to be open on Labor
Day and I have weird number, and I clicked on
it and let me just read you the first one,

deal going through September fourth. Certain snacks and beverages like
body armor and slim gem sticks are selling for two
dollars a pop.

I mean, gas stations are expected to be open twenty
four to seven, right, Are we that dumb? Now?
Speaker 1 (04:26):
I'm baby.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Does this tie into the unseasonably solid weather? Is everybody
freaking out? And they're like, okay, well what am I
gonna do on Labor Day?
Speaker 1 (04:36):
I don't know. See what's happening in seven eleven? What
is going on?
Speaker 3 (04:40):

get a convenient store? Do like people eat their out
of necessity, like they've been driving all night and it's
the only thing that's open or whatever.

I gotta drive out there to go get a discount
slim gym.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
