"If it’s 91 degrees in mid-October… why are people still wearing beanies?"That’s just one of the many questions tackled in this laugh-out-loud episode of The Ben and Skin Show, featuring Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina “Ray.Fresh off the Rollertown Open charity golf tournament in Frisco, the gang dives into:
- The Beanie Guy Debate: Why do some people insist on wearing winter gear in 90-degree weather? The crew breaks down seasonal denial and climate confusion.
- The Rise of “Slim”: Former NFL player Johnny Harris mistakenly (or brilliantly?) nicknames Skin “Slim,” and it sticks. From “Snap into a Slim Jeff” to “Bim and Slim,” the show spirals into nickname chaos.

Another edition of Things Shin is traffic.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Ben.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
How hot were you yesterday? Uh? Being out there at
that golf tournament? Yep, it was a little hot.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
I mean I'm sitting here thinking it's October fourteenth and
it was about ninety degrees, right, it was ninety degrees,
got to ninety one, I think. By the way, I
saw a guy wearing a beanie yesterday. Uh huh, come on, man, oh,
here we go. I mean, that's just somebody who loves
wearing beanies and just wants to look like a hipster.
And they're like, all right, bye October, mid October, I'm
(00:56):
rocking my beanie.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I don't care what the weather is.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
It's ninety degrees and it's nine degrees and we've talked
about this. The calendar is about two months off from
what it used to be, and it's every year now,
and so you just got to readjust that stuff I
used to be able to, you know, wear you know,
not sweatshirts, but just plannel, flannel, whatever in October.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Man, I can't imagine.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Mid May to mid to late October is summer. Yeah,
it sucks, That's what it is. It's what it is now,
and so I can remember. And it's so weird the
way weather patterns work. The one time we went to
Colorado to go to Red Rocks when to go see
this band we did called the National We've planned it
for late October. It was the earliest snowstorm in Denver
(01:38):
in decades, and so we had snow in late October. Sure,
just the world is so weird now, man, you can't
plan anything like that.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I have friends in Denver that are complaining about how
freezing it is right now. Are they really Their mountains
are top of mountains are covered in snow.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Oh I got there. I got so sunburned yesterday.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
When I got home, my wife said I looked like
a crawfish.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
That's the meanest thing.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
You ever said to me, Mike from drowning pool immediately
wanted to throw you in some boiling water.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
He's so Cajun.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
So yesterday we you know, if you're listening to the show,
we had a bunch of bestub segments and we had
pre record some stuff because we were out at the
Rollertown Open in Frisco PGA Frisco benefiting the National Breast
Cancer Foundation. That's a brewery that Been and I are
partners in. We advertise on the station. We had our
very first golf tournam at the Rollertown Open grand opening
next Friday. Yes, yes, yes, finally, can't wait for that.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Here's what happens when people playing golf scrambles. They pay
money and the money goes to charity. And for that money,
they're going to get as part of their group, some
sort of celebrity to be a part of their group,
and usually hopefully that celebrity is good at golf. And
so I've played golf. Yesterday was the third time I'd
(02:49):
played golf in about three years. And also I'm not
a real celebrity, so I was very stressed out for.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
The group that I was put in.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I was like, man they're going to look over in
the group next to him has Nick van Exel, and
the group next to them as Tory Hunter and Skin
comes walking up and he's gonna slice every time he hits.
So I was very stressed for those people. I was like,
they're not gonna have a good time. And I got
to my cart, and as it turns out, they put
a former NFL player, Johnny Harris in our group, and
(03:20):
so I was happy for those people that they got
a real celebrity. And he was really good, I mean
really good. I think we ended up getting third place,
and it was all his shots. I think he's like
a three handicap or something. But there is this whole
thing where you get to the TA box and they go,
(03:40):
all right, you know, we want quick play. Everybody's gotta,
you know, get going. And the group behind me has
four people and there's six people in my group, and
so I'm like, man, I'm not gonna I'll just hit
shots every now and then I'll putt I'll drive the cart,
i'll fart, you know, just do anything to keep bit
moving or whatever. And the best part of it was
(04:03):
I was in the cart with Johnny Harris had never
met him, We're getting to know each other, and he
just got stuck in his head that my nickname was Slim.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yes, Jeff Slim. I like that.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
He called me Slim all day, and so as the
day evolved, I was sitting there wondering. You're like, isn't
that a better nickname than skin?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Slip into a slim Jim.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
It's also kind of a term of endearment, especially here
in Texas, like all right, Slim, Yeah, so maybe he
didn't think that was your name.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
He was just calling yourself.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
The dudes in the group, you know, had listened to
the show before and stuff where We're roller Town, so
they they knew who I was, and they were real confused.
And then when it was pointed out to him, he
was like, nah, I kind of like Slim better.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
It's right.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
So, like you know, there's one there was one hole
where everybody had bad shots. He goes, come on, Slim,
we need you, like all right, got you, Johnny, and
it running out there.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Yeah, Skin's kind of got a Hannibal Lecter vibe to it,
and Slim you're kind of giving like old nineteen twenties cowboy.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yeah, Like I'm writing the Atomic Bomb and Doctor Strangelove.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yeah, people don't know what skin is. Every time they're like,
what does that mean? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Why is he named that? So Slim does make more sense. Yeah,
and it's got you know what.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
It ties back to earlier when you were talking about
Roy in an era where people were named Roy, they
had a friend named Slim.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Okay, but yeah, you're right, Roy and Slim and them.
But that would mean my name would have to change
to Bim.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Going. I love when people go up to yalling and
call you by the opposite name.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yeah, yeah, that's all the time. Oh, it's incredible. Anyways,
I thought you guys would enjoy that. Uh, weather in
October is hot. I contributed nothing as normal, and now
my nickname is Slim.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
All right, Coming up next, I'm gonna tell you something
that happened at that golf tournament that I don't think
anybody knows or not that many people know, and it
was shocking. And then we'll talk about the latest famous deaths.
All that's on your way next. But
