"Does wearing a Nirvana shirt mean you actually know Nirvana—or are you just a poser?" That’s the question that kicks off a hilarious and thought-provoking episode of The Ben and Skin Show, featuring Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray. In this segment, the gang dives deep into the cultural meaning behind band shirts, music fandom, and the generational shift in how we express identity through fashion and art. From KT’s preacher condemning his Nine Inch Nails shirt to Krystina refusing to wear a Ramones tee without doing a proper deep dive, the conversation is packed with laughs, nostalgia, and sharp insights.

Look at her, Christina, little baby cornbread, k red, little
bake corn Bread.
Speaker 6 (01:26):
I don't like how you said hard right but yeah, Hi.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
It's a ninety degree. It's like a bam, It's like right, huh.
She's the aag, the all American girl. Yeah, the patriot
we need in times like these. Okay, Oh, she thought
I was talking about politics when I said hard right, Yes,
what is she down in the middle? If you know her,
I think she's very moderate, except when it comes to
hot music opinions. And that's why coming up today at
(01:52):
four point thirty, don't miss it Christina's cookie jar. As
we get into some rock and Roll Hall of Fame announcement,
Who's playing, who's presenting?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
We have all the deats later in the show.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
Now, another thing that's happening is we are giving away
nine inch Nails tickets speaking of rock and Roll Hall
of Fame.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Huge they went into the rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Was that like three years ago? Two years ago?
Speaker 6 (02:16):
I don't know, but I can't say. The talkback lights
up every time we give.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Those tickets, is that right? People want those tickets. I
want those tickets.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
Gotta be listening some point today during the show, we're
gonna give them away. There's gonna be you have to
use it with your iHeart app Christina just mentioned the
talkback feature on your iHeart app. There's a microphone, you
click it and you can leave us talkback messages. Well,
we use that to also give away badass tickets. So
if you don't have the iHeart app, download it now.
It's free, and then it's gonna reference something in the
(02:44):
show and the first person that jumps in has the
right answer gives us the goods. You are going to
win those tickets. I have not seen nine inch nails
have either of y'all, no, no them in high school.
That's a great story, man, if we could save that
story time.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Later, tool too or just not tool.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Okay, I want to get into that story of you
having that shirt at some point today.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
That topic Preacher thought I was going to hell.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
I really liked Christina's point yesterday about not being willing
to wear a ramone shirt even though it's a cool shirt,
because she hasn't done the deep dive. I very much
remember Kevin Durant after an NBA playoff game. I believe
he was wearing a Clash shirt and I was like, man,
that mf or has no idea who's in the Clash,
(03:34):
what any of their songs are you are posing so hard.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
I saw a video over the weekend.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
Go ahead, no, no, no, I was going to congratulate you
on not being a poser.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
Yeah, well, I don't think it really matters anymore. And
I feel like we've brought this up before, but there
is a girl who posted a video and she's filming
herself and she's crying.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
She's wearing a Nirvana shirt.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
She goes, guys, it finally happened. This guy ran out
of the cornfields, ran up to me and said, name
three Nirvana songs right now. And she's again, she's doing
great job, like faking acting crying right. She's like, I
couldn't remember. I said smells like teen spirit, which I
screwed up because everyone's gonna say that that's so wame.
And then and then she said I wish you were dumb,
(04:12):
and then anyway, and so she's like, I just I
finally had the moment and I totally screwed it up.
And she just keeps crying, and it's just so funny
that we do have that weird mentality of like, yeah,
I don't want to be a poser. I want to
make sure I know at least three I don't know
why three is the number at least three songs of
whatever band shirt I'm wearing.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Three is the magic number and gets you in it
is there is something too though, I mean you can whatever.
The young generation just wears whatever. Yeah, Like my son
was wearing a Reservoir Dog shirt. He had no idea
what it was, no clue, and when he got the shirt,
I was like, you know your homeboy. He's got a
friend that's an aspiring filmmaker that loves Tarantino. I go,
(04:52):
you know your homeboy, Coop. He knows all the Tarantino movies.
In fact, I've had a conversation with him before about
Reservoir Dog and he's just looking at me like, cool story, Bro,
Can I leave now? Like, I don't want to hear
your crap. I just want to go about on my business.
But I've had this conversation with my wife before when
it comes to even just decorating, like whatever you hang
(05:15):
on your wall, whatever you wear, whatever shirt you decide
to wear. I guess my opinion is that I never
want to do that frivolously, and so unless it's some
super badass design that just blows my mind, like I
would never wear, Like if it was the dopest Garth
(05:36):
Brooks design ever, then I might consider wearing it.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Oh, the G logo is that it? I don't know,
you could be a real G.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Yeah, okay, well but you get my point. It's kind
of like when people first get out get a home
or a big apartment or whatever and they go to back.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I don't even know it does. Peer one exists anymore?
Peer one imports.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
I mean, I've heard of it.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
It used to be like, think of it the same
way you would be container store. Yes, but you would
go and it would have prints, not not the artists.
It would have Yeah, canvas is framed print sure, and
it's like, oh, here's the same matist tree that everyone
buys and puts in their dining room the very first
time they have space to hang something. And so my
(06:19):
thought was always I don't really want to hang something
unless it means something to one or both of us,
Like I don't want to just put something on the
wall just because I wanted to have some kind of meaning,
And that's the whole point of art in the first place.
It was like I did this, This has meaning to me.
I connect to it, and I'm representing it. And that's
(06:40):
the way I feel like when people wear band shirts.
You used to wear a band shirt because you wanted
people to know this is my band. And if you
see someone, you guys make the eye contact like, oh
you're one of my people.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Tell yeah, right, and that happens strangers that were the
same band t shirts of a band.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I like I think of it. I think the Internet
killed meaning well that's.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Say, yeah, year all of the pre internet erow. Yeah,
sounds weird to say because Christina and I are are young.
Let's face it, Christina and I are still very young,
are you? But you know Christina and I are old
enough to have touched the little grass out there. Oh
go outside and play in the backyard, you know. Uh wow,
Christina and I were probably lighting in the backyard. Huh
(07:20):
nine or ten when you would get oh, we have
a home. We have got a family computer now that
we're see if the connection will work, and then everyone
just gets mad at each other because someone's got to
be on the phone.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
The hard thing for the family computer is people don't
realize your parents can check your search history, and that
always caused a really uncomfortable thing for the family. Not
even well, yeah, oh my god, my kid's doing what?
Speaker 6 (07:44):
Uh do you remember Zinga kat? This was like a
blog and he's not a Zenga person, but I remember
it okay. And I was a teenage girl writing my
blog on the internet about how much I hated my dad,
and my dad definitely found it very.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Upset with me. Oh you can read that.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
Sorry, didn't know.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
I kind of liked the drop of her. I was
a teenage girl, you know what she just said that. See,
it feels like a really good, out of context drop
that we can play with.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Christina thou Vincent, what year were you?
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
All right, we got stuff to do. Let's quit farting around.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Action Pack show, nine inch Nails, tickets to be given away,
lots of stuff to make happen. But coming up next,
