"When’s the last time you sharpened a pencil… and did you have to unplug a toaster to do it?"That’s how this wild ride of an episode kicks off on The Ben and Skin Show, where Skin Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray hold down the fort while Ben Rogers battles a brutal virus. From hilarious debates about mechanical vs. classic pencils to the mystery of a stolen Panasonic sharpener, this episode is packed with the kind of absurd, off-the-wall banter that makes the show a DFW staple.

You should go back and listen to the podcast of
the Big Finish from yesterday.

this time yesterday. I'm skin Wade, He's Kevin K. T. Turner. Hello,
she is Christina, little baby corn bread ray ray let
bake corn Reddin And usually Ben talks first because it's
in our contract. But man, he has a butt virus
that is just taking it out of him.

No, yeah, there he is speeding off the nicety online
already shot.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Hopefully we'll have him Oh there's the little sign off.
Hopefully we'll have him back tomorrow. But send your well
wishes to him. There was a neurovirus that was on
a Royal Caribbean cruise and one hundred people were stuck
there on the boat because they all had the nor virus.
Christina and Ben and I got the neuro virus last year.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
I don't know how you avoided that, Skin, but that's
the worst thing to have on a cruise, the.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Worst, well, the worst I've ever felt. Do you know
what they did with those people that were on that boat.
They sent him to Las Vegas and that's where Ben
was all weekend.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I hope he doesn't have that again.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah, because there's a lot of butt stuff that happens
in Sin City.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
He did say something about crabs. No crabs.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
He played a lot of crabs. Oh yeah, and he
hit a hard eight, if you know what I mean.
So anyways, hopefully Ben will be back tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Now.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
When we were sitting down, the three of us kind
of playing the show out, I was like, I said
what everyone's says before a meeting starts, and that's hold on, everybody.
I gotta go sharpen my pencils. Yeah, when's the last
time you guys sharpened a pencil?
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Middle school?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I mean by then, I was a mechanical pencil guy,
maybe second grade. Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I love pencils, but I hate mechanical pencils. I don't
like regular pencils.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Really, mechanical pencils break constantly.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
They unless I guess we're writing too hard, because mine
would always break off.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I'm like, this is just annoying and a waste of time.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
I love.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
So what I'm holding in my hand is I have three,
you know, old number two style yellow pencils, and I
love these. And every time I have to sharpen it,
I have to go to the other end of the
station and there's a pencil sharpener that's underneath a microwave
and a cabinet, So I have to take it out,
unplug the toaster, plug the pencil sharpener in, sharpen it,
(03:49):
and then put it back.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
And then have the two people down there just stare
at you.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
But then I was like, surely I'm the only person
in this entire building that's using this pencil sharpener. So
I stole it and it is now on that cabinet
like five feet away from me. And my goal is
to see if we get a company wide email, hey
who stole the pencil sharpener that nobody uses?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
So we'll see what happens. It is a Panasonic, pretty
good brand. Hey looks awesome.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
How long do you think?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
If at all ever, it'll never ever, ever, no one
will ever say a word.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I'm the only one. And I love these pencils. See
the pencil The sensation is similar to the to the
nails on a chalkboard. To me writing the writing of
a pencil on paper here, it makes I feel it
my teeth. That's bad. Oh really, now pens. I love pens.
I have ten pens. What kind of that's funny? What
(04:44):
are weird? You can sound like a special needs. Guy,
I got a pen. Yeah, give me a pen. Hold
your penny. Let me see what you got I stole?
Oh okay, I saw a lot of Ben's ten pens. Yeah,
what is this, Doctor Seuss? Ben had ten pens. I
love just the old Bick style pin. The picks are
(05:05):
so dope.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
These are science fiction pins that Ben has. They're fine,
but I just like the old bic a uniball pin.
Uh yeah yeah yeah. The spokesperson was Lance Armstrong.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Is that right? It was inky, but it could explode
in your pocket.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Oh yeah, that's the worst man, when you're wearing a
short sleeved business shirt and the pen explodes in the pocket.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Okay, kat, what am I holding right here? Oh my god?
You got it? Okay. So in his hands is from
the new Fall collection at Athletico Dallas, which is a
soccer team coming soon DFW. Or maybe you prefer football
with you, but you have the jersey, you have the
new blue jersey. Okay, I'm color blind, but I thought
(05:48):
this was Teal. It's a light blue. Okay, not really green.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
I would think Teal is a little green, but okay,
it's a really pretty light blue.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
It's badass.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
This thing is dope and our friends at Athletico Dallas
sent goods for Christina, Me, Kati and Ben because the
guys that started the team, one of them is a
guy named Sam Morton. And if you'll remember, if you're
an avid listener of the show, we went out to
downtown Garland and went to Fortunate Son and did a
show from Fortunate Son when Athletic O Dallas made their
(06:18):
grand entrance into downtown Garland and they had a marching
band and there's a bunch of people and it was
an absolute blast. But Sam Morton is a longtime friend
of mine and Ben's and he left the radio world
to go work in soccer, and so he sent us
to text like, Hey, we want to hook you guys up.
Y'all have been big supporters. So there was a text
chain that was still.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
And basically just I here's the menu, place your order
and then we'll come get it. And I went and
got this stuff this morning. Our good friend Andy from
great bands like Transmit Now and young optimist.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Andy Brooks, who we also worked with at the old station.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Let's go out tonight, Chris. So Ben starts it because
they sent a link to us and Ben starts with Sam,
I want a black hat. Whichever one of the those
hats is the best one from my head. Yeah, look
at Ben his black hat. All right, that's good black hat. Ben.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
Christina I with that T shirt small, Yeah, because it
has the crest on it, and the crest is just
so cool.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
You love the crest. They're branding is super dope.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Is It's like it's almost like already a lifestyle brand, like.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
A twenty dollars T shirt.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah. I was like, I'll take the shirt. That'd be good.
This one shirt, Skin goes. How about the launch edition
Jersey Texas Topaz large? Christina Goes. Skin straight up ordered
the Lobster.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
Because I'm all like, Okay, they're trying to do a
nice thing and give us some free gear, and so
I'm not gonna go, hey, let me give me the
number one highest priced thing that you guys have.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Okay, let me.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
You're so sweet and naive, my friend, Christina, do you
know what they're doing.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
They're like, they're gonna talk about us on the radio.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Woo.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Now it's easy for us to do because they've bought
advertising on the station already, so we're not doing anything
out of pocket. But Sam Morton knew damn well what
he was doing by giving us gear. We would put
it on and wear it on social media and all
of those things. So come on, man, you go. You
don't go to Bob's Steak and Chopago. I'm only going
to get a side of mushrooms. Well, no, you wouldn't
(08:20):
do that anywhere you went those no where.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Look. I looked at the thing.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
I was like, yeah, I'll take the dopest thing you got.
You want me to wear it, I'll take the dopest thing.
And I think we all agree this is a heater.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
It is, and.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
Sam was nice enough to give me one as well.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
He wanted to teach you how to eat lobster. Christina cool.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Go to shop dot Athletico Dallas dot com. That's Athletico
with no age. Yeah, uh logo on it. Yeah, it's dope. Man.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
Dust to Champion sounds.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Yeah, okay, coming up later, I'll go look online and
see what the real thing is.
