Would you still go inside and buy donuts for your coworkers… after getting carjacked at gunpoint?In this wildly entertaining episode of The Ben and Skin Show, hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray unpack a bizarre and hilarious local news story that could only happen in Texas: a Grapevine man’s morning donut run turns into a full-blown armed robbery—in broad daylight.What starts as a serious crime report quickly spirals into a comedic masterclass as the crew debates, like whether the victim should’ve bought the donuts, or the logistics of robbins someone while only being 5’6”

just horrible.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
Grave Vine. Please see the man had just left the
Dunket Donuts and Glade rode in one twenty one when
the robber came up and asked for the keys to
his car and then took off with his wheels.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Okay, gunpoint asked for the keys, and the gay said, yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Did he take the donuts too?
Speaker 5 (01:51):
One of you had gone in to get the donuts
yet he was getting out to go in or yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Also the donuts didn't get stolen? Yeah, but did he
still buy the donuts?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
The staff?
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Great question.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
It's all I could think about.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Is that what y'all would have done.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
I would have given it.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
I would have still hold on, hold on, hold on.
I want to make sure understand what you're asking.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
It was.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
It was a fresh selection right, like it was early
to where like all the donuts are there, you know,
because if you go later, it's picked apart and some
of my tastes.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Man, yeah, thank you Christina talking about up at like
six ams the same time after six am.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Okay, so pretty terrifying.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
You know, some guy comes up to you with a
ski mask on it, points a gun directly at you.
You're just like, take the car, man, I'm not dying
over this. I own it. I'm trying to read the guy. No,
I know, but I can look beyond the mask. If
it's a certain type of guy. I'm like, look, I'm
happy to give you this car. But the problem is
that I am tapped into a massive surveillance network and
(02:52):
you will be arrested immediately.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Too much. If you wasted his time, you annoyed him, Boom,
you're done. I don't think so well. The story continues.
Speaker 6 (03:01):
YEP investigators say the twenty twenty three blue Dodge Challenger
was seen about a mile away from the crime scene,
leading them to believe the suspect lives or works in
the Uless Mid Cities area. Pelice say the robber is
about five sex.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
That's wrong with that?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Is that? How tell you your five to seven?
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Christina? Five eight eight? That's tof anyone? So how do
you find a mask? That smart? Okay, look, you don't
just give the keys to the little guy, right If
he's got a gun? Yes, the gun makes up for
the lack of hide.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Was it a small gun?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (03:40):
Pelice say the robber is about five sex with a
muscular build.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Oh does that change though it's a muscular build.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Huh for me?
Speaker 4 (03:47):
It does so?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Tiny but in great shade ery and ripped? Yeah, you
know what it sounds like ben a UFC fighter? Yeah,
I would. I would give my car to a masked
UFC fighter. Is that Tom Cruise is listed as being
taller than five to six? Right?
Speaker 4 (04:03):
I think he's five to five? I think so.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
I saw it ripped.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I watched a conspiracy video on Eyes Wide Shut in
Stanley Kubrick this morning, and the entire video Nicole Keedman
is an entire head taller than him.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
He's five to seven listed, but whatever, Yeah, okay, he.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
Wore a sche mask in dark clothing when he stole
the car. The victim till police. The man had a
great and black gun.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I mean, the victim in this case did the right thing.
He gave away his keys. His life is much more
important than the car.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
The police now in pursuit of returning these wheels to
their rightful owner in Gray Bye, Shannon Miller, NBC five.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
So you're looking for a small guy that can withstand
a lot of heat, because if he was wearing that
in the summer, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Why don't you have to say what color of the
gun was?
Speaker 4 (04:47):
What are these two toned guns. Let's see a lot
of those.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
And are you insinuating that because this guy was only
five six, that it's the guy should feel like a
pe for just giving the keys over and not like
handling up. No, some dude, some featherweight boxers would tone
you up, and they're about five five five six, he
may be a featherweight. I just think it's risky to
be that small and do crime because it immediately eliminates
a big part of the population. They can zero in, yeah,
(05:13):
on little people.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
That's where the mask comes into play though.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
Yeah, okay, I just thought they're kind of treating it
like it's common knowledge that you give your keys to
the little guy, And I don't know that.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
I think you do that guy in the moment. Yeah,
in the moment, you know, you don't worry about that
because the gun. If the guy is six' eight two seventy,
five five six and, thirty it's still the same.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Bullet. Okay do you do this?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Though do you toss him the keys but kind of
toss him in an angle to where they'll go at his?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Feet? NO i think what you do is you're, like,
yeah here's my.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
KEYS i will go ahead and scoop the seed up for,
you and you boost it as much as you, can
and You i'm going to lower the steering wheel for
you and boost the set up so you can see over.
Homie i'll give you these, keys but there's no way
you're reaching those. Pedals do you want me to drive you?
Somewhere and then do you want me to put it
on Radio? Disney and do you have like a toddler
(06:07):
chair THAT i can buckle you into If i'm driving you, somewhere.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
