It's a lot of fun. I'm excited too.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
A guy who's had trouble getting excited over the last
several years, is chronicled by several failed endorsements with you know,
products that help with.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
That, Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
The pride and joy of only Texas Kevin tear down,
set list turn.

I would imagine nothing a little blue cho can't fix.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Good morning, bless It's.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
All You're a morning blue Chow, The Bit and skin Show,
And finally, the only really good thing about our show,
the wickedly talented Christina Carey little baby corn bread rag
bag about that Zeppelin right before we went on air,
Right are you yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:37):
No, I don't know. That wasn't me.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Well, we are off and running. You know, I got
up this morning and do you saw it on social media?
I saw you commented on it. How many alarms I
set on my phone?
Speaker 4 (01:50):
I mean you had one going off every minute for
the entire scret the entire iPhone screen. This, you know,
this is the We've been doing radio since right around
two thousand and one, full time since two thousand and eight,
and we've never done morning drive. And we've always first
of all, we've never been asked to do morning drive,
and then once we kind of established ourselves in the business,
(02:10):
we've made sure that it was in our contract where
you couldn't make us do morning drive. We felt like
it would be bad for the Metroplex if we were
doing morning drive.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Well, you know, we all have late night lifestyle, so
to speak. Skin works on the MAVs TV broadcast. Kevin
kt Turner is narcoleptic and has a slew of sleepish,
you don't actually mind mornings.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
This is great for me.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Okay, you've actually done mornings before. We'll get to this
later with Christina. Christina has done mornings too, So this
is this is not new to them. It's new to us.
But Christina is in a Nirvana cover band. They do
a lot a lot of band two bands, and they
do have a lot of shows. So yeah, and I
do some important late night gaming and important work. Listen,
(02:52):
Brave Warriors have.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
To fly in and you know, you guys don't know
what's happening on that wall, but you need me on
that wall.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
So yeah, I went to sleep last night at two thirty.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Oh my god, man, So you're.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Gonna be full of energy here in the seven o'clock out.
I'm gonna have a lot of problems today. Where does
the crash happen? That's you know what, And if you
want to get involved with the show, make your predictions.
When does the beIN crash happen? I've got it at
seven oh five thirty.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yeah, what time did you actually wake up today?
Speaker 1 (03:20):
You know, I was watching The House of the Dragon
finale and I was watching it like through eyes that
were closing, falling asleep, waking up, falling asleep, waking up.
You know, it's hard to give something a good review
when you watch it that way.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
What you should do man on Sunday nights to get
yourself ready fall asleep during John Oliver.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
John Oliver will put you to sleep.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Now.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
I know he's got cocaine energy, but man's just you're
I'm he's talking too much.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
I'm I'm passing out. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Well, uh so I set a lot of different alarms.
I'm very excited to be here, though. It was you know,
it's hard to go to sleep because I was so excited.
And man, I'm just you know, just to you know,
we're gonna have a lot of people that are with
us this morning that have been with us for the years.
You know, we've Skin and I met in nineteen eighty two.
We've been friends the whole way. We got in radio
(04:06):
right around two thousand and one. We've been at the
Ticket Live one oh five three, which turned into one
oh five to three The Fan, escaped to one O
three three. Yes, Ben went back to one oh five
to three the Fan.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
In twenty twenty February of twenty twenty, we came to
ninety seven, won the Eagle, and we worked with the
Russ Martin Show for a little bit and uh, and
then we had the Freak for a while and then
you know, we've just kind of been holding it down
ever since. But we've been at ninety seven one The
Eagle for six and a half years, and uh, you know,
we've always obviously known about Lone Star ninety two five.
(04:37):
It's one of the most important radio stations in Dallas
Fort Worth, and we've known about the legend of Bow
and Jim and Jeff k is a longtime friend of ours,
and so we had the opportunity to make the leap
from The Eagle to Lone Star, and man, we jumped
at it.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
We jumped at it, and it's you know, I feel
like this is a really good fit for the Ben
and Skin show. And so those of you that over
with us from the ego, you already know what the
show is. There's a whole bunch of you listening right
now that have no idea who KT is. That's fine,
you'll get to know KT now. You don't know anything
about our show. And what we're gonna do is every morning,
(05:14):
I mean, you heard how subtle the intro was. Every
morning we are going to blast you right out of bed.
We're gonna get you fired up, and you're gonna have
a good time with us as you get ready for
your day. Because listen. One of the reasons, I mean,
there's a lot of reasons. One of the reasons we
left the world of sports talker radio is sometimes it's fun,
(05:35):
but a lot of times it's not fun. And all
Ben and I really want to do with our show
is have fun every day for three hours. When we're
wrong with you, we want to have fun. We want
you to have fun with us. And that's like the
whole ethos of the show. We make each other laugh,
you know, it's fun. Me and you been have been
together for a long time now. We've had this incarnation
(05:56):
of our show with kat and Christina. We're going on
six and a half years. That's a long time. So
we got like a great rap, we got a great chemistry.
We enjoyed doing the show together. And we feel like
if you nice folks waking up every morning, if you
make the decision to turn it on and hang out
with us, you're gonna have your favorite music playing, but
also a little dose of us. If you guys, can
hear us smiling through the microphone, hopefully you'll be smiling
(06:19):
right there with us. And I already see the look
on Katie's eye. What thing are you about to say, no,
I just looked up and saw what song we're playing next?
Speaker 3 (06:26):
What is that?
Speaker 4 (06:27):
I got me going, No, no, no, don't tell them, Oh no, damn,
don't tell tell them.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
They can't find out. Okay, yeah, they'll find out by listening.
You'll find out.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
But you know, I think the chronological order of these
things is important. And not very long ago, we just
you know, we were negotiating with iHeart this is an
iHeart station, the Eagles and iHeart station, and we thought
that we'd be staying for another several years on the Eagle.
But very recently it was brought to our attension that
if we wanted to, you know, we could be in
(06:54):
afternoons on the Eagle.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Or we could be on mornings on Lone Star.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
And because of the incredible rich history of you know,
of having a phenomenal talk show in the morning and
having what Bow and Jim built, the house that they
built like that is a beauty. That's a very appealing thing.
The culture and the standard and just the excellence of
what they did here on these airwaves for so long
(07:19):
made this incredibly appealing. And so people are like, I
see Facebook comments, people are like, man, you'll never replace
Bow and Jim, We're like, no.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
No, nobody knows that better than us.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah, those are the goats, Like, we have so much
love and respect for those guys, And so you got
to look at the chronological order of this. You know,
us being here has nothing to do with them not
being here, but us being here has everything to do
with how much love and respect we have for them
and how much admiration we have for the incredible run
that they went on here on lone Star ninety two
to five. They're one of the reasons that lone Star
(07:52):
is a great station, I mean a huge reason why.
You know, for anything like this, the number one reason
is always the listeners, the people that are dedicated to
the station. But you know, I mean, you tune in
for a reason, and Bow and Jim gave you a
reason to tune in every single morning. And again, I
mean those of you that have been listening, you know,
(08:13):
you know, Jim hadn't been on the air in three
or four years. Bo left back in October, So it's
not like they were on last week and we're replacing them,
but their legacy loomed so large.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
It's still a.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Familiar place for everyone. And so Ben and I were
lucky enough. When we were at the Ticket we worked
with people like The Hardline and people like Donovan Miller.
Dunna Miller is still on the air. When we were
at ESPN, we worked with Randy Galloway, I mean, you
talk about an f and legend. When we came to
The Eagle, we worked with Russ Martin. There's no replacing
any of these people. You just hope that you can
(08:47):
add to the legacy that they built. And that's why
we're excited about this opportunity. You know, you're here for
a reason because of that legacy. That legacy got you
up every morning and got you willing to be here,
and all were looking forward to do is to continue
that legacy. And we're not going to try to be
anything like them. All that we can do is be
(09:07):
the Bin and Skin Show. And we feel like if
you want to hang and have a good time and
start your day right every morning.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
This is absolutely the place for you. Man. Hell yeah, man.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
We are often running first segment ever in morning Drive
for the Ben and Skin Show right here on lone Star.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Ninety two five. Hope you'll keep it locked in with us.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
We love interacting with you so if it's on social media,
if you send us talkbacks, we're working on getting that operation.
All right, Oh y'all, Okay, so we're already getting some feedback.
We'll play some of your feedback. That's another thing that's
massively important to us. We want to connect with you.
We are one of the most successible radio shows and
all the land. We love, love, love that connection because
we started as listeners right here in Dallas Fort Worth
(09:47):
before we ever even dreamed of being on the radio.
All right, speaking of being on the radio at six
twelve am, have we made a terrible mistake.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
We'll discuss next
Wake up the bedstay on the radio.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
