"Can turbulence really explain what two kids saw on that JetBlue flight… or were these passengers trying to join the Mile High Club mid-air?"In this wild and hilarious episode of The Ben and Skin Show, hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive into one of the most bizarre news stories of the week: a Connecticut couple allegedly caught performing sexual acts on a JetBlue flight to Sarasota—with kids as eyewitnesses.The gang breaks down the absurdity of the situation with razor-sharp wit and side-splitting commentary debating everything from seating arrangements to airline reputations, with hilarious tangents about Frontier Airlines, $39 flights, and whether you’re sitting in the “fighting or non-fighting section.”

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Give me that news quickie, all right.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Sarasota, Florida, Christina. I love Sarasota. A couple from Connecticut
traveling on a Jet Blue flight from New York to
Sarasota have been arrested.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Jet Blue is one of the real cheap ones, right, Like,
you can get a flight super cheap, but you get
you're in the back with a livestock.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
You see it on the East Coast more I know.
I remember they got famous because they left all those
people on the tarmac for a long time. But that
could happen on any airline. No, I'm here to tell you.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
They're saying, they're like AJ They're used to being from
the East Coast.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I mean, I have no offense to American, but I've
sat on a tarmac for two hours on an American plane,
yea before a fourteen hour flight early. The forty three
year old is Trista Riley. The forty two year old
is a guy by the name of Chris Arnold. Oh no,
that's right, all right. Trista Riley forty three, Christopher Arnold,
(00:59):
forty two. And they've been arrested because two juveniles allegedly
witnessed them performing magic sexual acts mid flight?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Which acts?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
That is the thing. That's where it gets really interesting
to me, because that's not clear. But the allegations did
say the two miners did directly observe these sex acts.
One said that they witnessed Trista Riley making up and
down movements with her head while she was faced down
(01:36):
on mister Arnold's lap.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Respect fly the friendly sky where the kids turned around
like they did they turn around to watch this, like what,
I don't know, amazing for guys. You know, it's you
can see things on a plane. It's you know, what
do you mean you can see things on a plane.
I mean, it's not hard to look around and go, oh,
well they're doing it.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Yeah, only kids seeing this? And can you trust kids?
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Then? How are these kids? Kids are sketchy, But I'm
sure others saw it. But the reason it's extra illegal
is because kids saw it.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
It feels very like junior high age kids saw.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
It, Okay, because if they are junior high I think
of like me and my junior high years. If she
had laid down and took a nap, I would say.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Oh my god, look what she's doing all right? Looking
she may not have been doing it. Yeah, yeah, dad,
these people.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Could be being done wrong here.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Yes, she could have been having seizures in her sleep.
Well maybe she was just leaning over to go to
sleep with their head bobbing up and down.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Oh, it's a bunch of yourbul It's not like you
like you know, you know, a plane, you're.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Not always I've never flown a plane.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
When you're flying in a plane, you're not always keeping
your head still.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Just kids, a kids saw it. I didn't know how
they were what they saw. Why did anyone.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Else see it? Do they even know what they saw?
And they said they saw him doing that too, not
a she. So that was the only one I thought.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah, okay, Yeah, Trista was had her head in the
lap of Chris Arnold.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
And that went on for how long? That went on
for how long? I mean, at some point somebody's walking
down the aisle with a drink cart and that's interrupted,
like right, uh.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
It depends on what part of the flight it is,
because a lot of times, you know, you've got to
get up in the air and get established before they
start walking around offering up those drinks, or depending on
how long the cabin is and they're at the front
once the cart goes past him.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Man, Yeah, was it those two people sitting on in
a three row you know, three seats in a row
and then a child in the other seat.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Were they across the aisle?
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Like?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
What?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
What was That's crazy? Jet Blue might be one of
those at two that has two seater ale. Yeah, did
you guys? Have you guys done in Frontier? I will
be in I believe first week of September. Hey, not bad, really.

Okay, there's a couple of things that might make you
question some stuff. Awesome, overall, we're okay.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
No, I'm a little worried just because of how cheap
it was. Nah, I'd be fine if you just sit
in the fighting or non fighting section. I guess we'll
find out. I didn't get a choice yet. If you
don't need to take.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
If you're like like a weekend trip, if you can
cram your stuff in a backpack, for instance, if you
can do that, thirty nine bucks, fly across the country
thirty nine bucks. Hell yeah, mofo, that's just a slingshot.
No in flight entertainment or snacks.

Speaker 2 (04:50):

and they'd probably have charge.

is thirty nine dollars. Yeah, I don't trust it. Okay,
