“What are your expectations after 1AM?” That deceptively simple question launches a late-night odyssey of queso, chaos, and existential comedy in this unforgettable episode of The Ben and Skin Show on 97.1 The Eagle.Join hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray as they serve up a sizzling mix of pop culture, personal misadventures, and philosophical musings—starting with a hilariously disastrous post-midnight diner run that ends in stale chips, lukewarm soup, and a waiter who asks, “Was it my service?” (Spoiler: yes.)But the laughs don’t stop there. The crew dives deep into the brilliance of FX’s The Bear, with Skin passionately breaking down the show’s emotional gut punches and its new “shot clock” narrative device.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Skin Is Track, another edition of things Skinner's Tracking.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
All right.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I know later in the show, we're gonna talk about
what the critics think are the best TV shows of
the year so far. I am four episodes into the Bear.
Anybody watching season four?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Yet? I'm three in?
Speaker 4 (01:07):
No, I have to watch season three?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Really? Yeah, what, Mike, you won't watch it? No?
Speaker 4 (01:13):
I kept waiting for him, and finally he's like, just
do it?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
So does he not under Is it just because he
sleeps till five pm? Every day? Man?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Three, I realized that I had not finished season three.
Oh how far back A I'm like four or five
episodes in, so I'm like, man, I got some kitchen
up to do.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Uh so we're in that situation, KT, I think you're
being measured on this and trying to ration it out.
We watched two more episodes last night, and my wife
is putting.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
On the full court press. Let's go, let's go, cause
it's it's our favorite show for sure.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I mean, I don't even know that I got a
second place, and I don't watch as much TV as
you guys do, but that show gives me everything I
won out of a time investment. Every So I'll be
interested later in the show to see what the critics
feel about it. But man, part of it too is
the acting's great. The characters are great. They've created in
season four, you know, there's all sorts of like narrative
(02:12):
tools to make something engaging. They got a shot clock
on this one. Everything, and they've been building up towards
this throughout the series. And I don't want to give
too much away for you finishing season three, but there's
a little bit of a theme and the way it
ends with the idea of how you spend your time
in life and the idea of every second counts and
(02:33):
every aspect of your life. So they, you know, to
show that through their editing, they create all this tension,
and they have added the element of a shot.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Clock, like a sixty minutes thing going no, but you'll see,
you'll see.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
And it's kind of like the what the great radio
pundit Greg the Hammer Williams once said, a relay race
builds excitement.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Okay, so there's that.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Also, Christina had one of the greatest things I'd never
thought about ever. I was trying to get you guys
to watch a segment from sixty Minutes, and she said,
as soon as I heard the theme, I was out.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
And then I had this moment where I was like,
wait a minute. Their theme is a sound effect and
it's iconic. It is iconic. That is so amazing. I
had never once thought about this. Sixty minutes music is
the sound of a stopwatch. Yeah, and it's the most
effective thing ever. Has anyone ever once considered this?
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Not really, but you're right. As soon as anyone hears that,
they're like, oh yeah, sixty minutes.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
It also has that feel of it's Sunday evening and
the work week is a bond. Yes, that's why the
mash theme always broke. Yeah, so sad. It made me
know I had to go to bed. I want to
do the greatest theme songs of old time. That that's
their theme song. Think about that. Wow, that is fricking amazing. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
And when I was a kid, it did mean you know,
NFL was over, Yeah, and you had to go to
school the next day and whatever was about to be on,
My dad was going to watch and it was going
to be as boring as could possibly be. And as
I was watching it the other day, I was like, lamenting, man,
this is iconic, and pretty much every story they roll
out I'm riveted by because now I'm the old man
(04:18):
and they do incredible investigative journalism, which is not there anymore.
My god, it's a unicorn. Now it's it's a unicorn
and it's so good. Uh so, And then I have
one more little nugget. On Saturday night, Ben, you mentioned
that we had all been out together and we were
in Oak Cliff and KT was without his bride, so
(04:38):
he had ubered there and needed a ride. So I
was going to give him a ride back to Richardson
because it's on the way for us.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
We live in Allen.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
And as we're driving, we're like, yo, let's get some
meat late night because this is probably after two, right,
one five somewhere in there.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yeah, so I'm open at that time. There's a few
places it was in the It was before two am.
I know, because the idea of places being open was still.
We were looking. It was still like, you know, if
it was two, I think it's like, no, we can't
do anything. But it was pretty close. Now. The place
we stumbled upon, which we're not going to say it
was open twenty four hours. Oh is it a house
that makes toasted things? No? Hope.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
But so Katie actually called his wife and so she
met us there. Oh cool, we got there. We'd been
there eight minutes before we were greeted. Is that so accurate?
After we were seated, probably a staff of three, but
it's not like they're crowded.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
It took eight minutes for someone to get over to you. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Okay, So now my wife goes, let's get out of here, right.
I'm like, honey, we don't have options.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I do that same thing. If it's going poorly, let's
just go ahead and hit the eject button. It's not
going to just get better.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Yeah, it's never gonna get better, especially once the waiter
walks by your table seven times.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
He's also talking to some friends. Yeah, that's very strange.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
So we finally I was like, look, we finally got
an order of water and chips and ksoa tell you
real quick.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I did not give a crap. I was hammered.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
I did not care, and so I was like, let's
at least we're not just gonna leave. Chips and caeso
were coming at some point, so my impatient wife has
given me hell. So a few minutes later, they set
down the water and they set down the chips and queso,
and let me just say, it was like stale chips
and cold broad cheddar broccoli soup.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
It was.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
It was, it was, it was. It was looke cool.
And to Katie's point, I was fine with it. The
ladies were not. The ladies were not happy, and so
they were like, I'm out here. We gotta go, we
gotta go. So I flagged down the waiter, and he
finally walked up after having a seven minute conversation with
the table next to us.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
He's like, you guys right to order. I go, man,
we are going to bounce. He goes, oh no, was it?
My service said? How do you answer that? The guy looked.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Exactly like one of our old rapper friends, Rob loves. Okay, okay,
So what did you say? Well?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I said, no, no, we have man, it is so late.
We've just what are you doing? Usually you take the
opportunity to train a waiter. No, you live for those opportunities.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I do. But you know, you've got to have a
willing pupil. If you're going to in part wisdom, you're
never going to have a willing pupil. Uh. And so
he gave us the bill for nine dollars and fifty
cents for the what tasted like it tastes like broccoli.
So I'm telling you what y'all do. Y'all go somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
No other options, No other options. That's enough out there.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Oh that is an l metro. Dina would have been
the good choice, but that.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Would have been we live up north to buzz Bruise
or something.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah, Buzzberus would have been great. God all right, but again,
what are your expectations that late? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Not high? All right.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
We are off and running on a Monday. Coming up next,
don't go anywhere. It's the Hollywood Shuffle. Did Brad Pitt
