Speaker 1 (00:00):
Nothing finer than Bond Scott at six fifteen in the morning.
Welcome to your morning Molotov cocktail. It's the Ben and
Skin Show on lone Star ninety two to five, and
we are so happy to be here now. One of
the things that we've been doing on the Ben and
Skin Show for years that will continue on is the
Today Game, a celebration of this date in history, and
we're gonna do it here in about twenty minutes.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
But as we.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Settle into the new digs, I want to see what
you guys thought as you got in the car this morning,
because when you pull out of your driveway and it
is pitch dark outside, do you get the feeling that
you're about to go commit a crime? Exact exactly? Okay,
See this is revealing for you. Yeah, it's a roar
(00:42):
shack situation. It's like whatever you see is really what's
deeply embedded within your psyche. Right, I always think a
crime is going to be committed against me, Okay, but
you are thinking, Hey.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Am I about to do a crime here?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
And maybe that reveals that I've always wanted to commit
a crime against you. Hey, did you hear what that's it?
I'm about to do a crime? Are you guys doing
marijuana in there?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:07):
So it's it's just such a weird sensation when you
know it's pitch dark, nobody is up, and taco bell
is not open, Like those are the main things. You go, Okay,
this is an alternate universe here. I'm not sure how
to make my way through this. And then I don't
know about you guys, but as I get onto like
the main thoroughfares or whatever, and there you come up
to the highways, I'm looking around, going, why are you up? Yeah? Right,
(01:30):
what are you doing? What crime are you coming? I
drove from the prosperous line of border and got here
to the iHeart building, which is six thirty five in
the toll way, and I got here in like eleven minutes.
That's incredible. I think it was like a rocket ship.
And I'm just wondering who you know? We're at iHeart.
There's several radio stations here. So the kid, we got
the kit Cratit Show, we got Billy the Kid, right, yeah,
so we immediately need to start pranking them, right, Oh,
(01:53):
I think so you go, you start a radio war
right off the rip, right, that's what you have to
do surprise Pooh hasn't pranked us already. Oh wait, I
guess there's still a couple hours left in the show,
and the more the better. Right, you want a prank
to be really painful to someone? Oh you don't. Oh,
you just know you don't want it to alter their
life for the worst. Hoever, No, you don't. Okay, Man,
(02:14):
I guess I read the wrong manual. But I did
have that feeling driving in this morning. It's like, I mean,
right now, I'm running off of adrenaline. Ben's right, there's
no way I'm not a morning person, so there's no
way around it. There's no way around it. Right, I'm
gonna have to probably just stay awake and then sleep
(02:35):
after the show. I'm gonna be like the firefighter who's
doing the night shift. Yeah, and it's the The show
is the last thing I do before I go to bed. Okay,
you're pandering to Christina because her dad was a firefighter.
He was a retired lieutenant.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
But yeah, you're not gonna get the forty eight hours off. Ben.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
That's the bad d downtown right right when she said
the immediately thought of Harvey can tell bad lieutenant? Is
that a bad thing to pent On her dad, that's interesting.
I don't know that one. Oh no, it's it's a
shocking movie.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Uh okay.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
To KT, this is this is kind of something you
did for a long time though, or a reasonably long
time you did the morning shift.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I woke up just jacked. You know. Normally every day
I rush outside right when the sun is coming up
and blast my peraneum because it helps you with the
the Yeah. So I've never been happier.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
This is my d You look more awake than you
typically look.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Oh yeah, okay, yeah, two pm for me's bad in morning,
this is great.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Okay, So what time were you getting up when we
were doing an afternoon show.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
It's hard to tell, man, we mean getting up. I
mean I wake up every two hours. Yeah, explain to
people what narcolepsy is. I have narcolepsy. It's a very
rare disease, which means you can fall asleep in the
middle of nowhere. So yeah, it's hard to explain, but
that's what it is, when you could just fall asleep.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
When Ben and I first started working with KT, we
were at one O five to three the Fan and
he was at our show, and so you know, when
you work at sports Stock Radio, end up doing a
lot of road trips because of camp and spring training
and all this stuff. In inevitably, every single time we
landed at the airport, we would get our rent car,
we would throw our bags in the back, Ben would
(04:14):
start the car, and we'd look in the back seat
and kt You'd be asleep. Like every single time, the
second he got in the rent car and put his head,
he would fall asleep. And so it's just like that's
you get used to that going. Okay, that dude's going
to sleep in some really weird situations, but getting.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Up in the morning is no big suck. Yeah, dude,
this is the most energy I'll have all day.
Speaker 1 (04:36):

Ben and Skin Show is like. On our first day.
