“Is Korn the only band named after a vegetable?”That’s the kind of question only The Ben and Skin Show can ask with a straight face—and then spend five hilarious minutes debating. In this off-the-rails, laugh-packed edition of the Gig Guide, hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray take you on a chaotic tour of the weekend’s best shows, weirdest music trivia, and most unexpected comedy moments.From Kyle Mooney’s bizarrely brilliant music tour to a proposed Bird Band Bracket featuring everyone from The Eagles to Sheryl Crow, this episode is a full-blown celebration of music, comedy, and absurdity.

Corn Corn. I didn't see a ton but it's some
of those things.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
You look at the thing, you go, man, I'm old
because they used to know every band on the bill,
And then you're like, oh my god.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Is Corn the only band that's just named after a vegetable?
I mean, is there a band called tomato?
Speaker 5 (00:48):
The closest probably is the German band Can because of
canned vegetables.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Yeah, that's not even that close. It's like, I mean
carrot meat loaf, ah, because it's got tomatoes. Is that
a band or a guy? Point a guy?
Speaker 6 (01:04):
And I think Cream used to have corn after their name,
but Eric Clapton was like, na, man, yeah what if
cream and corn played together?
Speaker 3 (01:12):
So good, so delicious.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
There was that one guy Brock only, but he was
a guy Brock and his music sucked.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
And the gig guide is off to a great start, amazing.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Tonight at Club dot It's Kyle Mooney and I'm gonna
play you one of his hit songs off his last album.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
You guys, ready for this?
Speaker 7 (01:31):
God and the gadget is Nature? Put down your phone? Yeah,
turn off the TV. Everyone's lost and technology, computer screens. See,
let's power down digital society.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Okay, I can't control your life any.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Kyle Mooney's gonna I'm pretty sure that'll get it for you, guys.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
I think I had a friend go see him Tuesday,
Monday night. Is this his first night here at Club Dotta?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Now he's been doing it, he's been on a tour,
but yeah, I know he's tonight. Okay, you played in
Austin or maybe they saw him somewhere else?
Speaker 6 (02:15):
Maybe maybe I don't know, I'll ask.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
I like that.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
You're are you confused that whether or not they're your
friend or whether or not they saw him?
Speaker 6 (02:21):
Well, no, they definitely saw him, because I remember her
telling me how weird it is that Kyle Mooney is
doing a music tour and playing at Club Dotta.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
I thought that was insane. So I must have gotten
the dates wrong. Is he doing like stand up also
or so mainly songs because you made a whole album.
Would you have to hear his other hit song, blue
Car than anything in the world. Who Yeah, sounds good.
Speaker 7 (02:48):
He's got a nice set of tires and the windows
roll up. My blue car, My blue car, go as
many miles an hour. Cup holder holds a cup My
blue car. My blue car has a door that opens
with automatic locks. My blue car, My blue car. And
the parking break for when I park up the block,
(03:11):
My blue car.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
There we go, My blue.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Car, blue car, Blue car.
Speaker 7 (03:17):
Blue Dad sure loves you.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
This is like Dead Milkman or Camper von Beethoven or
one of those kind of eighties.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
That whole album is spectacular, and it's about twenty minutes.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
People walking down Deep Elm are going to be highly
confused when they hear him.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
I just love how raw it is, no polish to
it whatsoever.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
Our buddy TC is going.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
To this apparently super nice and he'll come hang out
after the show to TC or Mooney both.

Mouney TC picture tonight so I can put it on
a T shirt.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Are you going I'm not gonna see the naked Gun,
I choose, you choose your battles in this world.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
Yeah, because the Naked Gun will only be playing every
night after Yeah, but the danger of going to deep
Oh right, yo, hold on though, If you are going
to deep Ell them and something breaks out, Kyle Mooney
is jacked, make sure everybody is taken care of.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Tomorrow night, we got the Class Clowns at the Kessler.
It's a big comedy show, six stand up comedians, gonna
be some sketches and bits. Doors at seven, showtime at eight.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
I've never I've never seen comedy at the Kessler, but
I've thought it would be an incredible venue for that.
I know Ralphie Barbosa's played it before.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
Yeah, I was there for that that Netflix special. Yeah,
Mike and I are on the front row.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
That's incredible.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
Yeah, his friend who.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Hooked it up very well. Has that aired yet?

Yes, you can actually see.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Let's go.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
We didn't.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
We almost have him on the show, and then it
didn't work out. He had to cancel and then he
blew up. After that, we couldn't get him or some
do you remember this?
Speaker 5 (04:51):
We did know We had some friends that used to
gig with him, and then he got real big.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Oh he got a huge.
Speaker 2 (04:56):

Cows and Seth Coles sorry spelled Cows Wow.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Tomorrow night at Chalktaw it's Jesse Murph. How about that.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
She's also playing south Side Ballroom Saturday night. Let me
just say, the Grand Theater at chalk Taw much better
place to see a show than Southside Ballroom. Not trapping
on south Side Ballroom, but the Grand Theater at Chalktaw
maybe the best damn place to see a show in DFW.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
Yeah, you're definitely not taking a shot at another venue
if you say the Grand Theater is better.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yeah, they're going out.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Yeah, and again we always say that about chalk Taw.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
We call it DFW because it's just right up.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
The road, right up the damn road. We'll be there tomorrow, yep.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
So one of one of Dirk's favorite bands, the Counting Crows. Also,
we don't have time for this, but maybe in the
in the coming week. I was thinking about a bird
band bracket. There's a lot of bands that have birds
in their names, like Goose Geese, Counting Crows, the Eagles, Birds, Nighthawks. Okay,
let me back, kid, get me to sixteen because we
could play this thing out.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
