“Can a deck of cards and a kitchen island turn a party into the most fun you’ve had in years?”In this laugh-out-loud episode of The Ben and Skin Show, the crew dives into Kevin “KT” Turner’s unexpectedly epic Saturday night adventure—where a simple house party in Watauga turned into a nostalgic, chaotic, and oddly wholesome night of gaming and memory lapses.🎙️ Hosted by Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, KT Turner, and Krystina Ray, this episode is packed with hilarious storytelling, relatable moments, and the kind of off-the-cuff banter that makes this show a DFW favorite.Here’s what you’ll hear:
- 🎮 Mario Kart Mayhem: KT gets his hands on the new Nintendo Switch 2 and is blown away by the graphics—until he gets bored 10 minutes in.
- 🃏 The Match Game Revival: In a moment of party genius, KT lays out a deck of cards and sparks a full-blown match game tournament. “It sounds boring… but it was unbelievably fun.”

Speaker 1 (00:54):
I hosted a fantasy football event out there one time.
For this. Jerry Elliott incredible as the MC. Just everyone

it's probably an open tab. Uh. So uh my wife,
Uh one of our high school friends had a birthday party,
and you know, this comes up and what are we
doing on this day? And yep, usually it's just a
(01:16):
check and it's like, okay, so we got to go
over to the other side of town. What's all ish?
Oh yeah, that's funky town, right, that's the end. Yeah,
over in that area, and it's a set this guy's house,
in his wife's house. And I was like, how many
people can do there? You know, it's not like twenty people,
but it's all like high school friends or a lot
of friends that you know, they all knew. What percentage
(01:38):
of the people were good looking? Oh, one hundred, let's
go really, come on, man, I don't hang out with ugs.
So what percentage of the people did I know? Twenty
five percent? And that was the part that you said
was the best looking. No, that's the tough part, is
that twenty five percent on or know these people? Well,
what are we going to do here? Okay, so we're
hanging out, But it's also it's good. It's all in
a house. There's nothing crazy going on here. There's some
(02:01):
Mario Kart happening, very gaming type people too, so I'm
I can like, oh, I can get in that world
right now. Board games are put out on the bar,
so six people playing some game cards against Humanity are happening.
Board game Turner Exploding Kittens. Exploding Kittens was not there,
but I was like, we should have brought it. I
don't know it. Exploding kittens is fun? What is it? Man,
(02:24):
We'll just get together and have to do it to
describe on it. It's a card game. Yeah, it's funny.
That's all you had to say. But they had Mario
Kart the new Nintendo Switch, to which he claims he
got the last one at the Walmart or what everybody says. Stuff.
But everyone says things like that, right, yeah, but someone
who never really played the switch before and did step
(02:46):
in and play around with Mario Kart unbelievable, Like the
graphics are unbelievable these days. What have they done to
that game? Incredible? But fun bels After ten minutes, I
was pretty tired of it. You're gotta sitting around. There's
an island in the kitchen, and I noticed you get
six or seven gamers going on you got like three
people outside playing beer pong, and I find a deck
of cards. Okay, we start shuffling the deck of cards.
(03:09):
I'm like, okay, let's see what we start doing. Okay,
so once you learn a magic drink, I was just
gonna say, a magic show turner. Here we go. You
wish it was a magic trick. This is way cooler,
but not all right, first thing I do if I'm
a buddy, will let us start playing black jack? So
we're like, let's go to eleven. I'll be the dealer.
I'll play with the dealer's rules. Let's find out what
the true probability is of winning a hand of black jacket. Well,
that got boring real quick. You know my card sharks
(03:31):
type games like high or lower. Yeah, got that. You
got a little race going, you know, the losers. You
gotta drink that type of thing, race draft. But finally
we didn't have a race draft. And then finally I said,
I'm gonna try something here. And I don't really have
anyone's attention. Everyone's kind of talking to each other. I'm
kind of in my own world. Uh huh. But fifty
two playing cards an island in the kitchen and I
(03:52):
just put them all down, face down. And I'll be
damned if the hit of the night was the match game,
really old cool match game. It sounds boring and I
thought it was going to be terrible. It was unbelievable
fun because no one can pay attention to anything for
more than five seconds anymore, so no one knows where
any of the cars, like you just saw one and
(04:14):
could No one pays attention and so you probably made
them drink if they got it wrong, right, So that's
just well no, because that that was less of a
drinking game that turns into just a free fall who
can get the most and like you get the match
and you get to keep going. I mean, such a
childish game that you play as a kid, right, But
to break that out out of nowhere was the weirdest
(04:35):
amount of fun have had in a long time.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
But also, like when you're a kid, you're you're you
have more of a sponge memory.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Now you're talking.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Yeah, and there was a kid over there and there drinking.
I guarantee you man, any of us would go going
head to head with a ten year old and something
like that, the ten year old would mop.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
The floor with us. Yeah, there's no doubt I am.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I mean there's things that I used to be so
sharp on, so much stuff, and now I just go,
oh yeah, my brain is dull.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I can't do any of that anymore. I can't hang.
I was one of the better match game players the night,
but it was still frustrating to me that I couldn't
remember where The Nine of Hearts was over again. You
think it's oh, the Jack of Hearts again. Oh, you
son of a bitch. I've gotta find like it was
crazy fun. So I'm just saying if things are getting stale,
he's just saying this, pop in a boner pill and
(05:21):
play the match game. I mean, we do have a
lot of storms coming up, right, so card game.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
I tell you what if I had one of those,
I don't know if is it purple the little Crown
Royal bag.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Is that purple or navy blue? Purple?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
If I had a purple Crown Royal bag full of
pesos for every time I heard KT say I was
one of the better match game players of the night,
I would be a wealthy, wealthy man. It's the Ben
