“What’s the official law of walking etiquette—and why does it feel like chaos out there?” That’s the question Ben, Skin, KT, and Krystina dive into on today’s world-famous Ben and Skin Show. From awkward hallway encounters to the audacity of pedestrians in parking lots, the crew hilariously debates the unwritten rules of “Walk Law.”You’ll hear Ben overthink a slow-walking coworker like it’s a hostage negotiation, while comparing himself to an elite NBA point guard navigating public spaces.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
You all.
Speaker 6 (01:07):
Happy hump day everybody. It's the world famous ben In's
Skin Show. It's a dry hump day outside, no rain.
I can tell yitation out there. Hopey's good yep Ben Rogers,
Jeff skin Wade, Kevin k. T. Turner and Christina Carey,
A little baby corn bread Ray. We got a great
show plan for you. We've got so much to get into. Uh,
just don't miss the five o'clock hour. At some point
(01:29):
the five o'clock hour, there will be a Ben and
Skin and Show investigation into a Fox four investigation.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
You know who fears this, right Eager? Steve Eager.
Speaker 6 (01:39):
I heard that he's caught wind downwind and it smelled
that we were doing this, and I heard he's covering
his tracks.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
You're talking about Steve Eager, who does Fox four from
nine to ten and then let's Corey's take over.
Speaker 6 (01:52):
Yep, brings in a closer. Yeah, you know. I was
was a Kentucky Fried movie. The movie where there's a
reporter and he's whispering, we are now at it. We're
covering a story, and the camera zooms out. He's like,
we're waiting for details. Now we're waiting and they zoom
out and he's in front of a news desk, crouched down,
and the news desk is behind him breaking the news.
That's breaking someone else's news. That sounds like a dude.
(02:15):
It's been so long since I've seen Kentucky Fried movie.
The only part I remember is when that guy puts
on a stunt helmet and yells the end word, right,
and that's the only gard.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
The worst part of the community yells. That's different time.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
Anyways, we've got a lot to get into in today's show.
Let you guys know about a situation that happened to
me when I arrived today at the iHeart offices. Okay,
I get off on our floor, as I'd love to
get off on this floor.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
That's hot, dude, and I.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
Get out to the iHeart windows, you know, the glass doors,
because that's the only place I can get in. I
don't really have the you know what, necessary stuff to
get in. And so I walk in and I notice
a guy walking by. Now it's a guy i've seen before.
I think he does engineering here.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
And I haven't seen me. I haven't seen him in
like a year.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
And he's walking by and I'm walking two glass doors,
and so we see each other.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
He looks over at me and I wave to him.
He waves, and I'm like, okay.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
I kind of slow down a little bit, so we're
not walking side by side. As soon as I come
in the door, I realize he's walking kind of slowly
and there's no limp or anything. He's just choosing to
go incredibly slow. And I'm like, ah, man, we got
stuff to do. I'm like, I don't really know what
to do here, so I just go forward. I go
through those doors, and then I immediately am walking right
behind him, and I'm realizing I could walk in a
(03:41):
way where my feet he steps on my feet, like
my feet could be landing believe his feet right for
every step. And so I'm like, I got to get
over on the other side of this guy because he's
going to create a traffic jam. And I'm walking like
I'm but I'm I'm not going way faster than him,
but he's definitely going slower than me. So you're stuck
at the conundrum then, because do you speed up, go
(04:04):
around him, and then get right in front of him,
and then go to normal speed and then really he's
right behind you. I know I want no part of
talking to him though right now that makes sense. This
is like this is where you're a very you know,
you think about a lot of things in these situations.
I would just walk around and real fast and move
on and not even think about the implication of him
going man, who is that rude son of a bit? Yeah,
(04:25):
And but he would then be logjam behind you because
you're not if you go down to your normal speed,
he's still going almost the same speed.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
It's like, I don't know, it's awkward deal.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
I would love to not overthink like you can do
skin Like I'm like you, Ben, I would overthink the
hell out of it. I'd probably go to the break
room be like, you know what, maybe I'll just get
a coffee and you know, just give him time to
get out of the way so I don't have to
be in that awkward situation.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Yeah, just avoid it completely. I don't really talk to anyone.
It's the same as it's a.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
Very similar thing, like I don't know what walk law
is like there is it's really uh, there's no no
definitive walk law or the way things should happen. I'll
give you an example, like pedestrians feel like they have so.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Much right of way in like a retailed parking lot.
Speaker 6 (05:08):
Like you go to HB or something and you're like,
somebody will just slowly walk right out in front of
an oncoming car, knowing that that car is gonna stop.
But you're like, who really, if it's close, the pedestrian
has the right of way right because you always you
can't clip somebody right, you can and just put you
in a really bad spot. But I sometimes I'm like
driving a crowded parking lot like that, I'm like, man,
I can't believe the audacity some people are aggressively taking
(05:32):
advantage of the right of way. Being a pedestrian, you
weren't close enough to take the right away. I was
closer to zipping by you. But now I have to stop,
and I get pissed about it, and then immediately I
park and do the same thing to cars.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yeah, you know what, you know what you're talking about?
Walk law?
Speaker 6 (05:47):
What upsets me in a parking lot more than anything,
the least considerate thing now, And I say consider it's
because they're not thinking about the ramifications of their actions.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
They're not doing it intentionally.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
When someone takes and elongated angle and a parking lot
to get to their car, you see what I'm saying. Yes,
then you should get out of the roadway do a
ninety degree angle, you dumb bitch, so I can part.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Good God, why are.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
You walking at a forty five degree angle slowly looking
at your phone? You ail taking advantage of walk law right,
because it's really just frowned upon. But there's no definitive
rules about how you're supposed to do. But like, if
you just casually wade out there in front of other cars,
you have that right as a pedestrian. But it's rude, dude,
and you're so right. And so I've been thinking about
(06:34):
this too, Like, so I am what the world would
recognize as an elite athlete. And when I'm out in
the world, I'm really interacting with people in spacing like
an elite point guard at an NBA level.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I know where everyone is and I'm factoring that in.
Speaker 6 (06:49):
I'm looking a few steps ahead, I'm like, Okay, this
person's come my way, I'm gonna ease over to the left.
D da da. My wife has zero awareness, and so
she does not operate in the world as an elite
point guard.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I's to the floor.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
Walking is complicated too, Yeah, do you walk on the
right side or do you walk on the left side.
We're in America, so do you walk on the right
side like cars? If you're in Europe, do people walk
on the left like my wife? And when you're coupled up,
you're a roadblock, so you have to factor that in.
And so like, if we're a couple walking and I
see people up ahead of us walking towards us. In there,
couple walking, My wife will just walk through them. Yeah,
(07:22):
that's like not screwed over to the right and like
like let's acknowledge the spacing of everything going on. I
tell you what, though, if there's a family of four
walking like as a you know, a horizontal line basically slowly,
I will say that's cool that you don't have anywhere
to be, and then just say red.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Rover and walk through them, right through. You have to
actually usually take one of the kids and start running. Hey,
I think.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
You okay, do you know what time that Ben was
walking slowly behind that guy all confused? Yeah, it happened
at five, And here's how I know. At eleven forty one,
he finally got to the studio and said, are you
taking a dump at the Korean embassy?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Why would you go up there?
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Now?
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Tell them my response? He said, I'm taking a dump
on the mezzanine. Yes, any dude, it's so nice.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
First I just go there to hang out. Yeah, I
didn't have anywhere to go. The other the other weekend,
it was like, let's go drinking. Let's just come up
to the mezzanine and hang out in the conference rooms. Great,
it's beautiful. They have shuffle board up there.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Well.
Speaker 6 (08:18):
If anybody has any advice on walk law and how
it's supposed to work, let us know. Text the general
two one four seven eight seven, one oh five three.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
All right.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
Coming up at three thirty, we got the Hollywood Shuffle.
The LA Times just released their top TV shows the year.
How does it impact our show? Coming up next in
just three minutes.
