"Can a robot really replace a teenager with a tray—and should it?"In this laugh-out-loud segment of The Ben and Skin Show, the gang dives into Skin’s bizarre and hilarious experience at a suburban taqueria where the food isn’t just hot—the service is robotic. Joined by Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, and Krystina Ray he crew unpacks the surreal moment when a Rosie-the-Robot-style food delivery bot rolled out from behind the counter, politely asked patrons to move, and casually dropped this bombshell: “Don’t forget free margaritas on Tuesday.”

Skinny Track.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Another edition of things is tracking all right, Hey America.
I like to do this from time to time. I
like to have visual aids for this segment. Now I
am sending you guys three videos I took last night.
I went to a we'll just call it a takoia
(00:24):
in the Northern Urbs. It was a place that the
wife saw online. We had never been, so we went
there for dinner and we were very excited to be there.
We got there and it's counter service, all right, and
then they it's kind of like it looked like it
was an old converted like country burger, you know what
(00:46):
I'm saying. It was like a freestanding building that had
that style of roof that was popular in the sixties
and seventies, and they went in there and remodeled it.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
So there's a pretty good line for.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
A Monday night, and so I'm trying to position myself
to get in line a line that goes to a
counter and then from behind the counter, I hear this,
please make room for me as a Rosie, the robot
food delivery mechanism came out from behind the counter to
(01:18):
deliver food to the tables out there in the restaurant.
Have you guys been in a restaurant yet with robots
delivering food? Yes, the Nook and Light Farms has one
of those bad boys looks just like that again.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah, so I don't know. Christine and Kat, have you
been able to see the video yet.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
I'm watching it right now, and I have never seen
anything like this.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
It's basically it's like it's almost looks like something that'd
be next to a hospital bed.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Yeah, yeah, it's amazing. But you said Rosie and that's
spot on.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yeah, it kind of looks like emerging of that a
cart and Rosie the robot, and then is it it's
a real congested area where the counter is, where it's
coming from, and where the line is and how so
it comes out and then starts having a conversation with
people to get out of the way. Everyone's looking at it,
they're confused. It goes, it delivers the food, and then
(02:11):
it says, don't forget free Margarita's on Tuesday marketing. Dang,
you should have gone time well or go back. Yeah,
I'm not trying to blow up somebody's spot, but are
you allowed to give away alcohol?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I'm sure there's a catch.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
But shouldn't the robot? I mean, like, why wouldn't everyone
just come get free Margarita's.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Right, they got a bit. There's some type of bit there,
for sure. What is the bit?
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I'm sure you have to buy a meal. With the
meal purchase, you get a free margarita.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
That's not what Rosie said, or I guess I should
say Rosa because I think you know, since it's a Talkerreea,
I'm assuming this is a Hispanic robot, so this thing
they should put an accent on it, right, wouldn't that
be great? Wouldn't that be great? But also sometimes it's
so busy there's another person that comes from behind the
counter and.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Delivers food too.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Yeah, to me, yep, it seems unnecessary now, that's what
I Especially that small of a restaurant like the Nook
is bigger than that the place that I've seen it.
And I guess, you know, you limit one employee by
just having that robot.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
You don't have to have some teenager run food out there.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I guess I don't know, right, it seems unnecessary. It
seems unnecessary to me, And I'm sitting there going how
much was that robot? Because I feel like you could
have paid a person a pretty decent way just to
go and deliver food. And by the way, I don't
think that robot can pick up a mop for example.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Yeah, and it looks like a pain, like she's putting
the food on there. Yes, and she has to program
where it's going, right or.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Is it just going?
Speaker 2 (03:51):
They tell you what table to go to, yeah, they go, yeah,
they go, we need you to go to table nine.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
General. I was curious.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I looked this up price ranges for food delivery robots,
and it looks like it's between twenty five hundred and
five grand person. Wow, that's nothing, I mean yeah for
a robot. Yeah, and then you can add a little
more for special qualities.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
There are some.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Really nice ones that go all the way to sixteen grand.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Well okay, oh.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Wow, here's the Oh okay, okay, so this is the model.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Yeah, this is the exact model you had. I think,
how about sixteen grand?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Okay, so that, I guess will replace a person for
nine months.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Okay, how great to have that in your own house.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Right, it's a remote over there.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Well, it doesn't have hands you have.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
You would have to be she can just run into
the table until it falls it would.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Have to be you and the person you're living with
or on opposite ends, and someone has to place whatever
you're delivering to the other person on the robot because
it's just like a tray. Yeah, and then the tray
goes in and stands. It just stands there holding the tray.
I thought you're gonna have to have one of those
gun robots that has dog legs.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah, and I don't see where you have sex.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
With this all that.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
I think that's what it's meant for all robots sex robots. Yes,
Oh no, wait, what do you mean? It depends how Yeah,
it's up to you. I guarantee you.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Art Old Schwartzenegger thinks it's a second. There's no doubt,
is my Yeah, bend over. Hey, they do free coffee
every day eight am to noon.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
What kind of plan? Wait? Hold on, I didn't say
the name of this place. Did you figure it out? Yeah?
How'd you find it?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I'm still little searching crit long eight am to noon,
free coffee every day? And then that, Yeah, the free
margarita Tuesday night thing is happening.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
How was the food? I thought it was solid. We
would go back, but we're not going to race back.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Okay, but it was old. Wait so there's no qualifications.
We can all just the metroplates can go get a margarita.
And I mean I'm not seeing the catch, so yeah, okay, interesting.
I'll see you guys this place that we haven't said
the name, right, go find it. Have enough margarita is
Take a run at that robot, right, Christina, No, don't know.
I don't understand what she doesn't understand about robots. You
(06:14):
can put an attachment on it too, and make it
a second robot for everybody.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Run at her. All Right, There you have it.
