“What’s the best band named after a state—and does Kansas really deserve the crown?” That’s just one of the hilarious debates Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray tackle in this jam-packed episode of The Ben and Skin Show.The crew kicks things off with KT running through the hottest events in DFW—from Leonard Skynyrd at Choctaw to Fleetwood X rocking Rollertown Beer Works. Along the way, you’ll hear the gang riff on everything from the meaning behind “That Smell” (weed or perfume?) to why Bill Murray’s line in Kingpin still kills.

She's a full back man that our song is like
you see, it's very yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Everywhere Australian right all. She does have a bit of
accent by Yeah, it's annoy what is what do you
mean she's a full back? She's like a short yardage back. No,
she's fully back. She'd taken some time off for a
middle Okay, but she's back. Okay. I thought you meant
it like on third and one or fourth and short.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Tonight Rollers Down Beer Works in Frisco, Texas. Fleetwood X.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
That's a Fleetwood Mac tribute. Let's go that's a brewer
invest in. We are a music venue. Our new facility
in Frisco and on Friday and Saturday nights we have
complimentary valley parking and all that. But uh, there's a
lot of cover bands that come through, like I can't
wait to have oatmeal pizza out there, and we'd love
to have you guys, And there's a lot of cool
cover bands that come through. And so the way it
(03:42):
works is you reserve a table. You can reserve a
table for four or six people and it's super cheap,
but you get you get the table to yourself. And
so it's a lot like Legacy Hall the way they
do out there. So go to Rollertown beer Works dot
Com to look into tickets.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yes, absolutely, and they I believe Fleetwood X they do
make time for Lindsay Buckingham. They don't just leave him
still the very end tomorrow night at the Grand Theater
at chalk Taw, Kansas. Which I would say, is that
the best band that's named after a state?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
What are the other ones? Well, Chicago's not a state,
or Boston's not a state, So city or state that'd
be a good bracket is terrible. I mean, what are
there any other bands named after states? I'm sure there are,
but we don't know about them. There should be a
Texas band there should.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I'm Texas, but that someone's been taking it and they
sucked and they ruined it. Yeah, like, there're's no doubt
Montana is a band that happened somewhere probably and they
were just not good enough.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Kansas is like, we're good enough, okay, But in the
bracket you could put Joe Montana in. Oh okay. So the
thing about the state that's the best, if anything, the
thing about the state using the name of the state,
what is the best to think about for next March? Yeah,
California and they're movie California, or maybe you song California. Yeah, hey,
the song might be the best thing about California. So
(05:07):
whatever the thing is that has just the name of
the stage. Yeah, let's do a bracket.
Speaker 2 (05:13):

misled and thinks that he is all right. Coming up next,
