This segment of The Ben & Skin Show is a whirlwind of comedy, sports culture, and pure riff‑heavy chaos as KT kicks things off with a jaw‑dropping moment from a college baseball game, followed by Ben and Skin diving into the world of high‑school heckling, revealing how today's students use social media to coordinate next‑level distraction tactics that feel like espionage-level scouting.Krystina cracks up the room by asking the question everyone was wondering about a group of Speedo‑wearing college fans who distract free‑throw shooters with ridiculous synchronized antics.

In this edition of Krystina's Cookie Jar, Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray unpack a wild mix of music news, mispronunciations, nostalgia, and unintentional comedy gold.

“Does sewage actually flow into our lakes… or is that just an urban legend supported by Oklahoma turds?”That's the thought‑provoking (and somehow horrifying) question that kicks off The Ben and Skin Show—featuring Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray at their absolute chaotic best.What starts as a simple news story about a local lake quickly spirals into:

Here's Thursday's show, featuring a local advertiser in hot water due to a Super Bowl ad, Ben reviews Marty Supreme, Krystina details her night out at an escape room, and KT wonders if they've found a cure for narcolepsy.

“If a team isn't trying to win… how in the world do you explain it to the league?”That's the question that launches this high‑energy, laugh‑out‑loud episode of The Ben and Skin Show, where Ben, Skin, KT, and Krystina rip into the wildest storylines from the NBA and the NFL—mixing sharp insight with the kind of unhinged humor only this crew delivers.The guys jump straight into the bizarre state of the Utah Jazz, who benched key players like Markkanen and Jaren Jackson Jr. in fourth quarters of competitive games—moves so blatant the whole league is side‑eyeing them.From there, the squad shifts to the Seahawks' shocking Super Bowl victory, unwrapping the improbable career arc of Sam Darnold—once viewed as a reckless turnover machine who suddenly produced zero playoff turnovers on his way to a championship.

Here's Friday's show, featuring loads of Super Bowl content to get you ready for the big game, Skin's got a new email buddy, Ben has been once again featured in a prominent local outlet, Krystina's band has their debut gig tonight, and KT is just KT.

Boston and Seattle…two iconic music towns, and the relative home of both teams participating in this weekend's Super Bowl.  KT names a music artist, Ben, Skin, and Krystina have to guess if they are from Seattle or Boston. It's loads of fun, and oddly highly competitive. Check it out!

A list of all the things going on this weekend in DFW, from Krystina's new band Orange Peel Sunshine making their debut at the Twilite Lounge, to a couple of our favorite comedians doing shows all over the metroplex, make sure to tune in to avoid having another boring weekend at the house.

Krystina has some of the latest news from April's upcoming Record Store Day!

“How long would you roll the dice on an expired meat stick… and would you actually eat it?”That's the question that launches this wildly entertaining episode of The Ben and Skin Show. Ben discovers a lone Jack Link's meat stick buried deep in his backpack — complete with a mystery expiration date that might be from 2025… or might not. KT immediately pressures him to “roll the dice,” Skin backs him up with the classic “preservatives will keep it alive forever,” and Krystina tries to determine whether processed beef even can expire.

“At what point does a documentary cross the line from tribute… to total misrepresentation?”That's the question Ben, Skin, KT, and Krystina dive into as they unravel the bizarre controversy behind Netflix's upcoming documentary The Rise of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The band says they were deceived — and the crew has thoughts.Then — complete whiplash — the crew shifts gears for a musical face‑plant of historic proportions. Rascal Flatts fans are furious, and the audio doesn't lie.When Krystina plays an absolutely brutal concert clip, KT's instinctive response becomes the moment of the episode:“Oh my God… he sounds like a dying cougar.”The laughter spirals as the team debates vocal decline, acapella expectations, and the ethics of performing when your vocal cords have fully filed for divorce.

“If the most famous groundhog in America is wrong 65% of the time… why are we still listening to him?”That's the question that kickstarts this wildly entertaining episode of The Ben and Skin Show, featuring Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray. And from the opening seconds, the crew wastes no time diving into one of the strangest annual American traditions — Groundhog Day. The segment launches inside KT's Cubbyhole, where the gang breaks down everything that went down at Gobbler's Knob at 6:20 a.m. — including the dramatic proclamation of “six more weeks of winter,” delivered by a man reading a scroll like he's starring in a low-budget medieval play. But the real comedy starts when KT unleashes his scorching take:“Punxsutawney Phil is one of the worst animals we've got in our entire life.”Why? Because America's favorite weather rodent sports a stunningly bad 35% accuracy rate — the kind of hit rate that would get any sports bettor, meteorologist, or carnival psychic fired instantly. Meanwhile, other lesser-known critters — like Concord Charlie and Gertie the Groundhog — are out here hitting 65–85% and getting none of the glory. But things get… darker.KT drops a bombshell: Staten Island Chuck is dead, Concord Charlie has mysteriously vanished, and the gang openly wonders if there's a groundhog conspiracy brewing across America. Is someone eliminating the competition? Are weather rodents meeting an untimely fate? “Are they coming up missing?” Krystina asks, only half joking.

“If celebrity deaths really come in threes… who's the third, and how did the Dallas Cowboys end up involved?”That's the thought-provoking, slightly chaotic question that launches this wildly entertaining episode of The Ben and Skin Show, featuring your favorite quartet: Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray.The conversation kicks off with the passing of the legendary Catherine O'Hara, beloved for Home Alone, Schitt's Creek, and more. The gang reflects on her iconic scream — “KEVIN!” — which KT admits shaped his entire life as a kid.  As the hosts unpack her surprising medical history — including the rare condition in which the organs develop on the opposite side of the body — KT, Krystina, Ben, and Skin explore what it means for her legacy, why the news shocked the entertainment world, and how she'll be written out of her current show. But that's not all, there were two other celebrity deaths over the weekend that KT was tracking and you might be surprised how much one of them hit close to home for Big Ben.

“What would happen if one of the biggest pop stars on Earth secretly recorded a grunge album the world wasn't allowed to hear?”That's the question that launches this unforgettable episode of The Ben and Skin Show, starring Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray — and it sends the crew down one of their funniest, most musically nerdy rabbit holes yet.The segment opens inside Krystina's Stainless Cookie Jar, where she drops a jaw‑dropping revelation: in 1995, at the peak of her pop dominance, Mariah Carey recorded a full‑blown grunge album under the alias “Chick”, titled Someone's Ugly Daughter. The label hated it, buried it, and scrubbed it from streaming… but copies still exist, and Mariah insists her original vocals are hiding somewhere in her archives.

In this segment, the crew dives straight into comedy gold—from Skin's mysterious disappearance (“He had to get a discrete bleaching,” Ben jokes) to the debate over whether Skin is actually a micro‑condom model on the side. KT, meanwhile, finds himself trapped in an unwanted astrology seminar (“Aquarius and Gemini don't get along!”), prompting one of the funniest exchanges of the episode as the entire room tries to figure out why Larry hates him.Krystina brings the rock‑and‑roll energy, sharing updates on her new band Orange Peel Sunshine and teasing original songs the group has been grinding on for weeks. Ben tries (and fails) to get her to revive the legendary Back Door Party track, but Krystina holds firm—“You'll have to show up to find out.”

“At what point does a TV show cross the line from ridiculous… to must‑watch?”That's the very real question Ben, Skin, KT, and Krystina open the show with — and yes, it all starts with a deep dive into the week's most important cultural topic: prosthetic dongs.Fresh out of Dallas' winter freeze and back in the studio in their signature white vans, the crew plunges into the accidental theme of the day — a theme KT declares is “the top story in town this week.” From prestige dramas to guilty‑pleasure chaos TV, the gang breaks down the growing trend of “theatrical monster dongs,” the surprisingly realistic ones, and the most unnecessary ones ever filmed.One of the funniest moments hits early when Ben confidently asks Krystina if she remembers the prosthetic in Landman, only for her to respond, “I do not… no.” Moments later she remembers exactly which scene it is — leading to cackling, chaos, and a full reenactment from the room.

Krystina opens the Cookie Jar with a bombshell, this Sunday's Grammys will feature Post Malone, Slash, Duff McKagan, Chad Smith, and producer Andrew Watt teaming up for a supercharged Ozzy homage. Naturally, Skin immediately points out that Chad Smith appears at every tribute like a drumming version of the Avengers — and yes, he still looks exactly like Will Ferrell.

Here's Tuesday's show, as Ben, Skin, Krystina, and KT broadcast live from home to avoid the slick roads.  All the chaotic stories from being trapped indoors all weekend, plus the latest news and stories from around DFW as the metroplex tires to tame Winter Storm Fern. 

Krystina reports on A Foo Fighters Bombshell that dropped in Tasmania. During the band's first show in Australia in over a decade, Dave Grohl casually told the crowd the Foo Fighters “might have a whole new record of songs that we just finished the other day.”Even better? He hinted a full tour is coming before his next birthday.KT and the gang dive into the long‑running mystery: why do the Foo Fighters skip Dallas so often?

“Why does a broken floor lamp throw an entire house — and maybe an entire radio show — into chaos?”That's the surprisingly deep question that launches one of the most delightfully unhinged episodes of The Ben and Skin Show, with Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray broadcasting from home as Dallas thaws out from another icy blast. In honor of the lamp being patented in 1880, Skin professes his genuine, emotional love for floor lamps — not as a bit, but earnestly. Ben thinks he's doing the Anchorman “I love lamp” routine, but no Skin really does love lamps.KT reveals his floor lamp once died for three weeks and nearly destroyed the balance of his household.Krystina quietly joins “Team Desk Lamp.”This lamp talk becomes shockingly philosophical — and extremely funny.

In a segment, made specifically for Krystina, we learn the details of a dinosaur named Ozzy, featuring pirate radio, Led Zeppelin anecdotes, and much more. 

The crew tackles the ever‑growing Best Picture category, debating whether ten nominees is too much. Skin wonders if awards shows are simply “an outdated concept we cling to,” while Ben argues the expansion is necessary to pump life back into moviegoing. KT wants compromise (“How about eight? Meet me in the middle”), and Krystina brings the grounded perspective of someone who's actually seen more than one of the movies.

“What happens when Green Day opens the Super Bowl and Poison's tour implodes over a paycheck meltdown?”Ben, Skin, KT, and Krystina dive headfirst into the music‑news madness, starting with the NFL's bombshell announcement that Green Day will officially kick off Super Bowl 60. The crew debates how a band known for political edge fits into the NFL's “apolitical” brand

IBM has invaded the building. VIP spots are disappearing. Sticker‑based vigilante justice is being served.And Skin has once again arrived to find a mystery car sitting smugly in his spot.Ben paints the picture: warm towels, infused water, valet vibes, and finger sandwiches in the VIP area—while KT and Krystina fight for survival in the dimly lit “probation‑adjacent” dungeon that passes for non‑VIP parking.

Krystina has an observation about a current musician who seems to be everywhere, whether it be naked on a yacht hangin' dong, or making cameo appearances with Aerosmith at an Ozzy Osbourne concert.  Who is this guy, and why is he everywhere?

“If Kiefer Sutherland threatens to ‘kill you' in the back of your rideshare… do you even take him seriously?”That's the question that sends today's episode of The Ben & Skin Show spiraling into perfect madness — the kind only Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray can deliver.From the jump, the crew dives into the bizarre news surrounding tiny tough guy Kiefer Sutherland, with Skin immediately pointing out that actors who play “unhinged action stars” often fit in your glove compartment. Ben recalls Sutherland's long list of on‑screen greatness, KT reminds everyone that Jack Bauer always has 24 hours a day, and Krystina just tries to keep the boys from spiraling into a debate about Tom Cruise's height.

Skin reveals a jaw‑dropping, real‑life Back to the Future moment: a random fan encounter at a Mavs game unexpectedly leads him back through decades of his own family history. One photo from his mom, a security guard blocking a stranger, a chance last name… and suddenly Skin discovers he's related to a 26‑year‑old listener whose family literally made his existence possible.And of course, the crew never misses a chance to roast each other—especially when Skin admits, with complete sincerity, that if he had inherited the family fortune,“I would've died of a drug overdose at 17.”Between world‑class ticket rants, time‑travel family revelations, and Krystina instigating the chaos at all the right moments… this episode is peak Ben and Skin Show energy: unpredictable, fast, funny, and oddly touching.

Krystina dives into the newest Hunger Games installment, Sunrise on the Reaping—a gripping prequel that reveals Haymitch's dark backstory. The crew debates why this dystopian world still hooks us, and even teases the upcoming movie adaptation dropping later this year. From there, the conversation shifts to Vegas' mind-bending Sphere, where rumors have turned into reality: Metallica is 90% locked in for a 2027 residency! The gang imagines what a Metallica show without pyro would look like and shares hilarious personal stories about getting dizzy (and even throwing up!) inside the Sphere's immersive visuals. And just when you think it can't get any wilder, Lenny Kravitz joins the James Bond universe—as a charismatic pirate king named Bama in the upcoming 007: First Light video game. The hosts geek out over how gaming is becoming as cinematic as Hollywood blockbusters.

In this laugh-out-loud segment of The Ben and Skin Show, Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive headfirst into the wild world of music news—and things get hilariously off the rails. From Bush announcing their “Land of Milk and Honey” spring tour to Candlebox coming out of retirement (again), the crew debates band names, websites, and why some groups just can't stay gone.Krystina drops the big news about Bush hitting Irving with Mammoth WVH and James and the Cold Gun, sparking a side-splitting conversation about whether having a website is the ultimate ticket to fame. KT's deadpan delivery on “I'll email their management” and the gang's obsession with booking “James” (or maybe just the Cold Gun) will have you in stitches.

“Would you ever get a tattoo inspired by your favorite band—and what if fate threw in a spooky coincidence?” That's the question that sparks this unforgettable episode of The Ben and Skin Show, featuring Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray.Krystina takes center stage with a hilarious and heartfelt story about her first tattoo—a tribute to Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page—and the wild twist that made the moment unforgettable.
