"What happens when you're trying to honor a loved one with Frank Sinatra… and a fiber supplement ad crashes the moment?"In this unforgettable and side-splitting episode of The Ben and Skin Show, hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive into one of the most bizarre and hilarious stories you’ll hear all week: a solemn ash-spreading ceremony on a lake in Seattle, set to the emotional strains of Sinatra—until a Spotify ad for colon cleansing hijacks the moment.From there, the crew spirals into a laugh-out-loud discussion about the dangers of free Spotify, Uber rides scored by Sinatra, and the timeless genius of Spinal Tap. KT’s joke about wanting his ashes thrown into Jeff Bridges’ beard might just be the funniest thing you’ll hear today.

The best one is the big Lebowski where they go
to throw the dude's ashes out of a coffee can
and the wind blows it all back on that.

A ash spreading ceremony happening in Seattle. His family and
I guess the guy who passed. One of his favorite
artists mated in Frank Sinatra. They were playing The Impossible
Dream and they had Spotify. They had loud speakers there.
I guess they're going out of the lake. The problem
is they had not fully upgraded to the you know,
(01:35):
premium to where no ads happened in between songs, and
so you're gonna hear Sinatra and then it's gonna cut
to a commercial as they're all probably sad and having
this big moment as a family.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
Oh, this is the quickest way to clear out stuck,
keep regular way some type of commercial or something sounding
like they needed that little comedicy.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Laugh about it.

Yeah, very fombastic Frank Sinatra.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
That's like goli That is uh, really unfortunate.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
You know, it's like it's such a heavy moment and
you know the culmination of their entire existence comes to
an end, and you're contemplating the whole journey, looking at
your own mortality just in that moment, in such a
serious moment, probably crying.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
And then there's a giant fart.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Oh, this is the quickest way to clear out stuff.

There's the one guy who's like, oh, I got this,
I'll bring the speaker, set it up, we'll connect to
my bluetooth. He's a guy likes the DJ just have them.
He's in control of the music. I know that because
I am that guy, but I would, uh I go
premium on Spotify for that reason. Man, you just can't
(03:29):
have the ad happening if you got If you're in
charge of good vibes music, that's just the essence and
in the background, you can't have that even be an option.
Speaker 3 (03:38):

version of Spotify. I think I've been paying the subscription
for so long I didn't realize there was that.

that guy. Fake Sinatra fan. Cdatra always reminds me of
one time I was in an Uber and I forgot
where I was going, but it was kind of I
(04:06):
think I was going kind of across town Dallas, Fort
Worth or whatever. But I remember I had an Uber
driver who was a really good driver, but he was
swerving in and out of lanes and he was just
playing Sinatra, and honestly, I didn't mind. I never felt
in danger. I felt like very comforted by it, even
though he was driving fast and kind of crazy, but
(04:29):
also there were any bad decisions being made. He was
That's how I think of Sinatra. Now, that's the song
that's on because the slow build up and he's just wow, wow.
