“Is it possible to walk so fast that your thoughts develop a Portuguese accent?”That’s just one of the many absurd, hilarious, and oddly profound questions raised in this jam-packed episode of The Ben and Skin Show, with Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray.From cold showers and Japanese power walks to AI-generated influencers and Tex-Mex hot takes, this episode is a rollercoaster of laughs, local flavor, and genuine curiosity. Krystina kicks things off with a surprisingly passionate ode to cold showers, prompting a deep dive into fast-walking philosophies and whether your internal monologue can have an accent.Then, the crew tackles the legend of Joe T. Garcia’s—is it truly the crown jewel of Fort Worth dining, or just a glorified patio with decent enchiladas? Skin drops the mic with, “I could name 20 other spots just as good… because we’re in Texas, where Tex-Mex rules.”

Speaker 4 (01:40):
I voluntarily took a cold shower this morning and it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Oh cold dip okay.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, because I went for a walk. You know, wait
a minute kind of walk. I didn't.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
I thought of you, but I didn't do it. I
did just do fast paced like the whole time fall
on Japanese fast paced. Yes, that's important to know. A
mile and a half got back. I'm so sweaty, it's
so hot, I'm miserable. So I took a cold shower
and it was awesome.
Speaker 6 (02:05):
Okay, this is very important. I need to know lots
of things. Is the Japanese fast walk for you? Faster
or slower than you just going to your car after
your shift?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Faster? Right?
Speaker 5 (02:17):
And your thoughts have an accent on them, you said
you while you're walking you have to think with an accent.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
But strangely it's U Portuguese. Okay, second, yes, what time
did this happen?
Speaker 4 (02:29):
This was at ten o'clock.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
Oh my god, it was hot at teneah. That's why
you had to take that cold shower out there, guys
out there.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
But it'd be great, we could say at the end
of the show, and I'll never forget the time Christina
looked someone dead in the eye and said, I took a.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Cold shower and it was wonderful. Yes.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
Well, so we are off and running. It's going to
be a phenomenal presentation. We've got local news, we've got
wildlife news. We've got a terrifying warning for Texans involving spiders,
so don't miss that. We've got we'll be very locals.
We talk about Joe T. Garcia's in Fort Worth, and
we talk about which celebrities have been there and which haven't.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
We've all been there, right, I've never been. I absolutely
have been.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Definitely been outside of it and seen a lot of
people waiting in the line, but yeah, never been.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
I've actually been on a Sunday, which is like, you
know when they do the whole brunch thing. So I've
done the I've done normal just weeknight Joe Ta's, and
then I've done Sunday brunch Jo T's.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
It's a metroplexan institution obviously one of the most famous
restaurants we have here in DFW. Is it does it
live up to the hype? So does it deliver to
the hype?
Speaker 6 (03:40):
I think that because of the nature of the style
of food that it is, that it's over hyped. Not
be in it anywhere, because dude, you're in Texas and
it's Text Mex.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
I think it's good.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
And if I was in Fort Worth and someone said
I want to go to Joe T's, I'd be like, dude,
I'm totally down. But I don't think it's better than like,
I mean, I could probably name twenty other spots I
think that are just as good because we're in Texas,
where tex Mex rules.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Okay, food wise, yes, but because it's so iconic and
so well known and recognizable, it's kind of cool to
be there because you feel like you're in the place
to be and.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
It's got that badass giant atrium patio in the middle
of it. Like, dude, I'm not dising Joe T. Garcia's,
but I think it's overhyped just because it's got such
that reputation Ben's talking about. Yeah, but I'd go there.
I'd go there anytime anybody wants to go. At four
point thirty, We've got a list is on your lips.
Jen Alpha's top ten career aspirations. Now, these are people
(04:38):
who are one years old to fifteen years old right now.
So my daughter falls in that. My middle son is
just beyond that. And dude, I will spend a lot
of time worrying about that. I mean, I think people
who can code, they can do some stuff. But outside
of that, like, I'm like, my kids should be solely
focused on learning how to work with AI. Here's something
about AI that I'm confused about. So Ever, I've seen
(05:01):
what's his name, Bill Gates say. You know, he lists
three jobs that are unfazed by AI, and one of them,
he says, is coding, kind of because he's a big
follower of Kevin. And I'm like, I don't understand how
come the machine can't teach itself to code?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Right?
Speaker 6 (05:17):
Like someone needs to explain that. I mean, I'm not smart.
Admittedly I'm not smart enough to understand this.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Oh dude, I know what happened. You were listening to
a Bill Gates impersonator. Oh that AI created? Dude?
Speaker 6 (05:29):
Okay, I want to send you guys something super quick.
My wife sent me this yesterday. It's just, you know,
I don't know if you guys deal with this KT
you might. I don't know if you do or not, Ben,
but my wife will just send me stuff constantly from TikTok,
and it's usually stuff related to my health, like hey,
you need to do this, or hey you need to
(05:49):
do this. I saw this person doing this, and there
is one person that she sent me and I'm watching it.
Ah crap, I think it's in my Instagram now, and
I was watching it. It looked like it's a realer.
But their movements looked like AI.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Right. Have you seen that?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
No?
Speaker 5 (06:05):
I haven't seen that in particular, but I am able
to look into the matrix and read the code and
see what's AI. I think most of the time I
can see the way something's written or the way something's moving,
and I'm like, yeah, that's not real.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yeah, And this was very lifelike. And she was like, no,
that's the guy I go. I know.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
But what I'm saying, honey, is he just used an
AI video to create him doing this because the AI's
recognizing him. He look at the ticks and his movement.
That's not real.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I've quit looking at my phone.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Okay, Now, I'm glad you brought that up because I
wanted to mention this. I saw this on Dallas Texas TV.
There's a deck shuffle. Dallas Texas TV had a story
that says Texas residents reportedly lead the country in silencing
emergency alerts. We are the worst in the entire country
when it comes to alerts about kids who have been kidnapped,
(06:56):
senior citizens who are missing any sort of warnings about weather,
or Texans lead the country in silencing those alerts.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Y'all know why?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Right?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
No?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
No?
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Because oh I why go ahead?
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Because it's just so far everything is so far away.
I'm like, why am I getting something from San Angelo, Texas?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (07:15):
I cannot help the person that has an emergency seven
hours away from me. Yeah, but there's nothing I can
do at three point forty in the morning, it's gonna
help that person. So I don't need that emergency blast
at this moment.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
It's just did they get in a concord and fly
to my neighborhood? What did you think happened? That's the
that's the reason people are put out by. I don't
even know where the city is.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
To be able to regionalize the alerts, right, but I
guess we got all other stuff we gotta do.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
So, Like, dude, if you lived in Maine, you can
get anywhere in Maine in like two hours.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I get it.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
Not here, man, I can't get to the Panhandle in
right hours.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
So it is Rhode Island the best at it?
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Like, yeah, nobody, all right, we're off and running, coming
up at three point thirty or any of us smarter
than Matt Damon. But coming up next things, skin weight
is tracking. Where are you gonna take us?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Ben?
Speaker 6 (08:11):
I got several things we need to get caught up on,
including my latest obsession,
It's inappropriate. Get him out of you whoever it is.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I heard when with epic with I'll show you're gone
rubing it be except we're supposed to be pursuing it.
Told out shawshank through the sewer. Did now what chilling
at think eagle? Yeah, we're doing it here your clocking
on the dot. Got a habit for my house? Or
goat stat is how we're starting to getting. Craddic shows
