“If I don’t drink today… will my kidneys revolt?”
That’s the question that kicks off a hilariously raw and relatable episode of The Ben and Skin Show on 97.1 The Eagle. With Ben Rogers out on vacation, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray take the reins—and the conversation spirals into a laugh-out-loud exploration of dogs, drinking habits, and the delicate art of pretending to be healthy.From Skin’s stomach sounding like a trash compactor to Krystina’s theory that wine doesn’t count as drinking, the crew dives deep into the chaos of post-holiday recovery. Krystina shares adorable stories about her dog’s attention-seeking antics, while Skin wonders if his organs are staging a protest after years of abuse by coffee and whiskey.The gang also reflects on the epic BFD festival, praising the incredible vibes, killer bands, and the behind-the-scenes heroes who made it all happen. Whether you’re a longtime listener or new to the show, this episode is packed with the kind of unfiltered, off-the-cuff brilliance that makes The Ben and Skin Show a DFW radio staple.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
With effing with I show you're gonna ruling it be
except for similar to me pursuing it. I hold out
shaw shame through the sewer. Kid, Now what chilling at
the Eagle? Yeah we're doing it. Be your clocking on
the doc. Got a habit for my house or go
stat is how we're starting to kick Cratit shows that
enough multiply like a rabbit to then so out creak
(00:31):
it up.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Beat the habit I won.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I hang out with a friend Rocket on the radio,
my ho boy, Skin and Skin.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Talking on the radio. It's time to to this spons again.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
All we go, Kat just steaming up its all on
our radio.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
Ah, yes, it is a Ben and Skin show. Ninety
seven point one the Eagle. Thank you for hanging out
with us on a Tuday. I hope you had a
nice three day weekend if that was indeed in the
cards for you. Now to get this thing going. Ben's
on vacation, we'll talk about all that. And really, Kati,
you lived with our buddy kavan Off for a while
(01:19):
and so he had dogs. But I kind of am
steering this more towards Christina at the moment.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Dog talk. Let's go, So you know that.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
Whole deal where you'll get home and you're kind of
ignoring your dog a little bit, and your dog's like, oh,
what's going on to your dog? Will maybe go get
a ball or a toy and just come set its
head like right on your leg, like, hey.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
The cutest.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
First off, I never ignore them because they immediately greep
me to the door, so.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
I have to pet them first thing.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
But yes, Simon will always go grab a bone, a
toy or something and trot back to me with it.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
Yeah, Like, if you're not just so dialed in, like
I have two dogs, a big dog, Luca runs in
front of me and puts its paws on the counter
and arches its back. Yeah, scratch my back right now,
like I'm holding crap. Yeah, I haven't even made it in.
So the whole idea is that if you're not paying
attention to the dog, it'll go and say, hey, well
hold on, what about me, And I'll go grab something
(02:12):
and just put it in your face so that you're
forcing you to pay attention to it. And I was
thinking about that driving in because I wondered if I
did not drink today, will my kidneys go stick a
bottle in my hand and go, hey, man, you're ignoring
us today.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I mean, every.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Single day you pour all this alcohol in your body
and you're not doing it today.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I don't understand. Man. What if your.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Dog Luca actually brought you a bottle of whiskey when
you walked in and.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
The dog would finally be useful. Yeah, it's dog getting useful.
But I'm I don't feel great today physically, and so
I was like, well, maybe I shouldn't.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Drink for once. You drink too much, thank you, Kevin.
I mean you drink a lot.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
I don't know what you did yesterday, but bfd chalkedaw
you were drinking as well, Like that's a lot of drinking.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
You know what I did yesterday? Guys, I drink. See,
drinking didn't even sound good to me yesterday.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
I thought of it didn't even sound good after drinking Friday,
Saturday and Sunday.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
It didn't sound good until about eight o'clock and I
was like, yeah, you know what, some wine.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Would be totally fine right now. I don't even think
wine's drinking. I think that's just right at home. Yeah, yeah,
it's like not that bad.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
Oh, my Italian doctors telling me it's great. Uh huh,
but uh yeah. So I drank and I was there.
I was like, man, I don't even know the last
day I didn't drink it.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
It's not new though, You've been saying that for five years.
Well no, I know, but I'm I'm you just used
to write it off to covid. You claim it on covid.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
I'm focused on not drinking today, and I'm curious what
my body's going to do.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Is it going to revolt?
Speaker 5 (03:51):
The other thing I did is you guys are around me,
and so you'll be, you know, ten feet away from me,
and you'll be like, man, what's that sound? And my
stomach's was like a trash compactor. Your voice, Oh no,
that's horrible. So it's like it sounds like there's a
you know, acid being poured in beakers inside my stomach.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
You know, it's all these crazy kidneys trying to figure
out what.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Yeah, So it's just it just doesn't sound healthy. And
so what I figured out is the main problem I
think is not the drinking that I do later in
the day. It's starting my day with about five giant
cups of coffee.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Oh yeah, good.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
And so I was like Okay, well, maybe I could
just have one cup of coffee, one big cup of coffee.
Today I had one big cup of coffee and then
I did not proceed to have three, four, five more.
And the main reason is because I slept so late,
because I drank so much yesterday, I only had time
to drink one cup of coffee before getting three or four.
(04:51):
It might have, it might have, But as I again,
as I was driving in, I was saying, okay, great,
so this could be a healthy day, one cup of
coffee and the possibility of not drinking alcohol later.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Look, and I have some green tea in here too.
That's that's healthy and it could help you out if.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
You need it. I need some green tea. Yeah, we'll
do that during a song break.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Are you not hungover often for as much as you drink,
because that's stopped me over the past five to ten years.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Really, man, you're a real quitter. I know, I really am.
Your body gets used to like I don't want to
feel that way anymore, No, you know, you get used
to it exactly.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Okay, Alcoholics on the show, Yeah, telling us.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Just have some aspirin like within arm's reach at all times.
You're totally fine.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can just pop adviled. It
doesn't do anything. I wonder why my stomach makes noises
all the time as I have my eighth advila.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Of That's what I do anytime I do drink hard
is take that and it works.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
It's terrible for you, but it works.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
The other thing that's great is if you guys are
feeling it, but you go you want to get more sleep,
put a cold rag on your head and just sleep
with a cold rag on your head. That just takes
perfect care of it. I mean, you just snap right back.
It's amazing. So there'll be some night where my wife
will look over at me and go, oh, you're gonna
sleep with a cold rag on your head tonight, aren't you, honey.
(06:14):
It's great that you know me. That's sweet baby. Did
you not do any drinking this weekend?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I did every day except yesterday. Okay, what'd you do yesterday?
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Hang out?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Because the rain just ruined doing anything outside whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
So it's lazy. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
Rollertown Beer Works is a brewery that Ben and I
are invested in, and I went out there and drank.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
No, you were sending a boil day telling me you'd
buy my uber up there if I came out to
roller Town, and and I was like, I don't want
to feel like you.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
I don't remember saying that, but it does sound like, no, Dad,
I'm going to I told you. I said, I don't
want to feel like you.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Do.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Well, let me say something. We're gonna talk about it later.
But man, BFD was a hell of a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
It was, And in your defense, it was your birthday. Yeah,
it really was.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
So.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Our program director, Elliott, he bounces back and forth from
Dallas and to Houston. He's one of these guys that
runs like four different stations. But the times he's been
in town here with us, Elliott's a fun dude.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yeah he is. He's great.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
I like Elliott. I like we had, you know, people
from all over iHeart there. The whole Woody Show was
in Teresa. I mean, it was just an awesome day
and the whole group of people, anyone that was there,
whether it was promo programming, on air, anybody.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Man wasn't everybody just great to work with. Everyone's in
a really good mood.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Yeah, And that was a long day and it went
by quick, and I think it's because everyone was such
a like in a positive mood.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
I think you're right. I mean, because we all had
to get there at like two o'clock. KT got there
at four thirty, but we all had to get there
and and I don't know how late I was there,
but anyways, you're right. It did go by fast, and
I thought everyone kicked ass that was involved in putting
it on. The bands were amazing, and man, go to
our social media account and see these videos that been
(08:08):
put together, pictures with listeners and stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Just everyone there incredible.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
We'll probably talk a little more BFD later in the show,
but shout out to everyone who kicked so much ass.
All right, coming up next in things that I'm tracking,
I'm going to try to convince my younger friends here
to do something tonight or tomorrow. We'll see if I'm successful.
That's right here on ninety seven point one. The Eagle
