“Is power washing the new Candy Crush—or is it more like karaoke for your soul?” That’s just one of the hilariously unexpected questions in this episode of The Ben and Skin Show, where Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray hold down the fort while Ben takes a well-earned vacation.From Krystina’s unapologetic declaration of a full-on “birthday month” to her obsession with the oddly soothing Power Washing Simulator (“It’s like a coloring book for adults!”), this episode is packed with laugh-out-loud moments. Meanwhile, KT dives into unforgettable night at the David Byrne concert, complete with choreographed orange outfits, Talking Heads classics, and a $30 parking gripe that every concertgoer can relate to.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
Friends, rocking on the radio.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
My modo on boys gins and talking on the radio.
It's time to to this sponsorin all in and we
gokat just seen up all up on the radio and
we are back. Hello everyone, It is the Ben and
(01:01):
Skin Show ninety some point one the Eagle. I am
Jeff skin Wade. He is Kevin k T. Turner, and
she is Christina Kray little baby corn Bread Ray. And
we are having a bendless show today. Ben is taking vacations.
It's the weird time of year for everyone because people start,
you know, they have some of the holiday time off,
(01:23):
and then Thanksgivings a whole thing, and then suddenly, all right,
have I use my vacation days? So over the course
of the next month, you're gonna have Jigsaw puzzle bin
and skin show. Like Christina, you're celebrating a birthday with
like a week off, right.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Basically, Yeah, this is my birthday month, and I've I've
never taken a birthday month before, and I figured why
not at thirty six, I'll start now. So yeah, I'm
only here for like two weeks.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Okay, so we have a two week December, Christina, what
do you do in this December? kJ Now, man's doing
my thing. You know, are you not gonna celebrate Christina's birthday.
I'm gonna come to work in her steed.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Steed like she's a horse of some kind.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
So Ben's off today. Uh you know where where I will.
We'll figure it all out. It's fine. It's just that
big of a deal, like we got to use them
or lose them. No, you quit panic. I get why
they do that, because you know how people will just
roll them over and have a retirement early. Oh time, God,
I would. I didn't use any of my vacation the
last decade. I'm off this year. We were just not
(02:25):
productive that one year. Uh So anyways, that's the thing.
But we did have a very I had a nice
long holiday last week. It was great. How about yours, Christina?
Speaker 3 (02:35):
I technically was still working, but it was really nice.
I powerwashed so hard? What powerwash man really so much?
Santa's Workshop, Little ice rink, she got that power washing game?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Yeah, like you washed theut the side of the house.
You don't remember this.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
So there's a video game called power washing.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I'm telling you.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
The you put on some music, you just sit there,
you powerwash. It's the greatest thing.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
What do you power I don't understand any power like
I just told these things.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Santa's Workshop. If you want to power wash a mansion,
you can do a mansion.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
So on your phone, no Xbox? Oh okay, so your
TV screen. It wouldn't be that satisfying on your phone.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
No, it wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
That'd be a little power washing. I'm like a coloring
but for adults. Yeah, I don't know. The last time
I played a game of any kind that was a
video or electronic game, I would argue, it's not a game. Okay.
I think what she's doing, not that I've done it
or even really seen it, but I think what it
is is it? You you get that feeling you did
something with your hands, So you accomplish something with your hands.
(03:39):
Isn't that what porn is? Okay, but porn's fell way off.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
So powerwashing is soothing. There's no one, you're not fighting anyone,
there's no time limit.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
You just clean. You just clean. Katie, you told me
that porn was soothing and cleaning for you. It's not
even Moore dude, Yeah, it really Yeah, but maybe it's
just I'm just too experience, you know, like the way
I feel like karaoke now experience. Yeah, like karaoke, Like
I've conquered it. I'm good. Yeah, on to the next thing.
Is powerwashing like candy crush? No, No, there's really no
(04:12):
strategy involved. You're just cleaning.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Man.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Man, I think I'm tired of talking about it. Well,
you finish it and then you move on to the
next one. I get what she's saying, though, it's that
feeling of it's just like you and your ninety test.
It's just like you blowling through your emails. Yeah, oh my,
you have so many, so many emails.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Especially with Cyber Monday, Black Friday. I get fifty every
time I opened.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yes, it's insane, I thought I was like, didn't this
all go to my junk? I don't understand. It's crazy. Uh,
you went to a concert this weekend? And then I
went to David Byrne. How was that? He is of
the Talking Heads. Yes, it was at the at the
fair Park Music Home i'll call it park. Yeah, and
it was so good and I wasn't gonna go. It
was kind of like a how's it going to work
(04:51):
with Thanksgiving? Because he was playing Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving? Okay,
so we always go to her families on Thanksgiving Thursday,
and then well my family was a little different when
we just kind of make it work and you don't
have as many people because you have to travel to
Old Yeah, just go about two hours west. Yeah. So
we ended up doing that Saturday. So Friday we were good,
(05:12):
and Friday night we went and Uh. The only bad
part about the fair Park Music Hall, and I think
I could have been it was thirty dollars parking. Yeah
you know, but you don't love that. But I was
not great. If I was if I wanted to dig around,
I think I probably could have parked for cheaper. But
thirty dollars is fine. Walk in that place is awesome. Yeah,
because it's huge first of all, but you know it's
(05:34):
like the Majestic times five. Yeah, so like you get
the theater aspect of the show. Now. I had very
limited knowledge of what to expect here. I know that
he played a lot of talking Head songs. I'd seen
enough set list to justify me wanting to go, had
got pretty last minute tickets for about fifty bucks. But
we were up in the top. Well, there's not a
(05:55):
bad sub there's not. Yeah, they're really credible. Have you
ever seen a concert at fair Park?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Yeah? Yeah, so I saw the Lion King Musical there
not too long ago, and we were I'm always up
in the balcony, but you're right, it's always good.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
It was so good. And he does a great job
of distributing talking Head songs versus solo songs that he
might want to promote because he's got an album, right,
And I've heard a few songs off of him. Yeah,
I've heard a couple, but it's not like for me,
it's seventy three years old, like I'm you know, yeah,
David Burns solo stuff is I'm way more into the
talking Heads David solo, But you know, he can go
(06:26):
solo solo Talking Head song that everyone knows. And so
the stage is incredible, and uh, I know that on
the night I went Friday night, they were all wearing
all orange. It's an eleven piece band, okay, and it
never stops moving. It's it's choreographed, right, Yeah, So everything
they do it's like it's like marching band style. Yeah,
(06:48):
and the stage is every song is a bit I mean,
it's like going to see if Flaming Lips or Wheezer
or someone like that who every song has some bit
attached to it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, with the background of
the stage and everything that he's doing. So that was
kind of cool, Like fluorescent orange shoes and they're all
wearing orange, I think. I think Saturday night, I think
they all wore blue. Did you ever see what he
did on HBO a few years back? Yeah, the American
(07:09):
Utopia thing. Was it similar to that? Very similar to that. Okay.
In fact, I would say, yeah, have y'all ever seen
Stop Making Sense? The Talking Heads concert film? Yes, it's incredible. Yes,
it's very good.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
And that's why I'm jealous that I didn't even know
he was in town, and I.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Totally would have went. I would lay two nights. I
would have gone again, and I it was pretty much
like maybe one or two switches in the setlist. Yeah,
I would have gone again. It was so fun. I
would have gone if I can could have talked my
wife into it, yeah, because you know, whenever I do
have some days off, she's like, you're actually taking off, right,
and so, and then I had a couple of mav
(07:44):
games mixed in, and so she was all like, I
don't want to leave the house, and I sure as
hell don't want to go to fair Park. I was like,
all right, honey, because I was really strongly considering going,
and now I have what's not buyering remorse. I have regret.
But there's a term I'm looking for fall most that's it.
Like my wife wanted to go more than I did,
(08:04):
and then I started going. Yeah, he is seventy three now,
he does not act like it.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
No.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I told some funny stories about going to BUCkies for
the first time and almost actually way more outgoing than
he used to be, like as he's gotten older. Yeah,
And it was a really that's exactly how I expected
David Burn to be. It was really weird and strange.
He's like, oh, okay, but I've seen him on talk
shows lately and he's been more outgoing and because he
realizes anyone who's a Talking Heads fan knows that he
(08:30):
was a giant pee to everyone in the band, like
difficult to work with, would go in there and replay
Tina's basslines when she left, I mean just then, and
then suddenly Brian Eno worked with some of the guys
in the band when he was there's like, oh, I
thought I was hugging Brian Eno to myself. I think
as he got older, he looked back and went, man,
I wanted things to be a specific way. I'm sorry.
(08:52):
I was a big jerk and hard to work with,
but I had a vision and y'all weren't fulfilling my
bit whatever. Blah blah blah. Anyways, that sounds like fun.
I wish I had done that. Tomorrow we'll get an
update on what Ben did, because I don't know if
y'all saw his social media post. Awesome, man, he got
to live the Hollywood rock star lifestyle. Speaking of Hollywood
rock Star, coming up next, I'm going to get Kat

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
