What happens when a heartfelt school visit turns into a full-blown parody nonprofit pitch involving lasagna, poop jokes, and a mission to fatten up skinny kids?Welcome to another wildly unpredictable episode of The Ben and Skin Show, where sincerity meets satire in the most unforgettable way. Join Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray as they reflect on their inspiring visit to the Texans Can Academies—and then completely derail into one of the funniest bits of the year.🎯 Key Moments & Themes:
It’s absurd. It’s hilarious. It’s Skin Wade at his finest.🤣 Funniest Quote of the Episode:“It’s a true 501(c)(3)PO… so you’ll get the write-off.”From genuine admiration for educators to a full-blown spoof on charitable giving, this episode is a masterclass in how The Ben and Skin Show blends heart, humor, and total chaos.
- A Real Moment of Impact: The crew visits the Oak Cliff campus of Texans Can Academies, witnessing firsthand how second chances are changing lives. Ben is blown away by the students’ focus and maturity, saying, “Y’all are way more mature than I was.”
- Skin’s “Nonprofit” Revelation: Moved by the experience (and maybe a little jealous), Skin unveils his new initiative: The Texan Slim Academy – Carbs for Kids. Yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like.

I've been in skin Show ninety seven point one the
(00:02):
Eagle all right, coming up at the bottom of the hour,
controversy over a famous musician in his new movie. What
are the critics saying? What are the fans saying? We'll
give you all the details about that, but right now
it's time for this.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Skin track.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Another edition of things is tracking all right.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Earlier today me Ben and KT went to our friends
down at the Texans Can Academies right off the car.
Not the kids you hear us talk about it all
the time on the show. They've been in those matchropucks
for a really long time. And so what they do
is they help kids that have had to drop out
of school for whatever reason go back and get their
education and then get acclimated. Now, I had never been
(00:47):
out to the Oakcliffe campus before.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Had you been been?
Speaker 3 (00:49):
No?
Speaker 4 (00:49):
I hadn't been. It was very impressive, very impressive. You've
been before, right, KT?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
And so you know, not only did we talk to,
you know, the people that run it and what they're doing.
Our buddy Raoul, you know, we've met him many times
and he was out there, but then as well, we
met some kids that have gone through the program. And
then we kind of toured the school and saw what
the kids were doing, and UH got to say, in
(01:14):
some ways, I was kind of jealous of what was happening.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Well.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
But before I get too far into that, what was
your main takeaways from going to take you first? Been?
Speaker 4 (01:24):
So I'm a career class clown, and you know, I
was a lot to deal with in regular school. And
because these are kids that are getting a second chance,
I assumed things had the wheels had spun off in
some way, and so I thought they'd be more disruptive
even than I was. Yeah, dude, they were about their work,
they were dialed in learning. The staff was awesome. The
teachers were great. Like, I was incredibly impressed. I was like, man,
(01:47):
y'all are way more mature than I was. Yeahage, I
think that's I think that's rock solid.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
What about you?
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Just much because a part of the tours they let
you go into the classrooms and you see what's going on.
There's projects going on, or they're just doing lessons. And
then it kind of took me back to that place
because I haven't been to a school in twenty years,
you know or whatever.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Right, So that was kind of cool. The thing about
this though.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
It's always really fun to go out there because you
see all the teachers too, and how much they care
about this as well. Yeah, and that's a part of
why this works. When you donate your car, your truck,
your boat, your RV, whatever, it goes to auction, that
money is used to help pay for that school, yeah
as well, and you know, get these teachers some money
as well.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
And I'm glad you said that part because I didn't
want to make an assumption that everybody knows. You know,
they take anything with the wheels basically that you can
donate and then you get the ride off and then
they auction it off and then they take that money
and they put it into the school there. And so
I'm sitting there and I'm watching everybody talk and talking,
you know, thinking about their process and everything, and I'm like, man,
(02:45):
I'm just I'm jealous that I.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Don't have anything like this for myself. And so I'm
gonna do something about that.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
I mean, you're gonna go take a course, No, you're
gonna go teach kids. No, You're going to start a
nonprofit bingo and I'm going to help kids hit the music. Christina, Hi, everyone,
I'm radio personality and community community advocate skin Wed. A
(03:16):
lot of people call me a leader, but I have
no time for such accolades. Earlier today, me, Ben and
KT went to the Texans can Academies where kids get
a second chance. And you've heard the slogan right off
the car not the kid. Well, it was an inspiring
experience and me and Ben and KT got to tour
(03:37):
the campus and I paid very close attention to what
was going on there. KT and Ben spent a lot
of time on their phones playing Candy Crush and swiping
left on Tender, but not me. I was inspired and
I said, you know what, if they can do it,
I can do it. And I too want to start
my very own five oh one C three PO And
(03:58):
so it's time for me to let the world know
about skin Wades Texans Slim Academy aka Carbs for Kids.
What we do is we take your unwanted carbs.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
If you have a lasagna laying around, or a giant
loaf of bread, maybe crackers, chips, maybe an enormous bags
of chips, a hoy, we take them and we feed
those carbs to skinny kids like I was when I
grew up and then we try to prevent them from
going to the bathroom and hopes that they can put
on a lot of weight retain that weight.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
God, see, Ben, I might let him be a part
of what I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
And so then once we kind of get their weight
up and fatten these little weezer kids up, what we
found is they're eighteen percent less likely to get picked
on by a big lineman kid.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
And I like those odds.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
So won't you join me in my new organization, the
skin Waves Texans Slim Academy, and right off the car
not the kid.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Unbelievable, Well done.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
What do you think I mean? I think you got
a shot here and you have so much free time.
This makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
I think.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I was taking appointments during her tour.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Anyways, Uh, go online it is Uh it is a
true five oh one C three po So you'll get

new movie. And speaking of poop, we'll talk about that

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
