"Can you recognize your favorite rock anthem when it's played on a xylophone like a baby's bedtime tune?"In this wildly entertaining episode of The Ben and Skin Show, the crew dives into one of the most delightfully absurd segments yet — Christina's Cookie Jar, featuring lullaby renditions of iconic rock songs. Hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray go head-to-head in a hilarious guessing game, trying to identify classic tracks transformed into soothing baby melodies by Rockabye Baby.

Here's the full show for Thursday, featuring our good friend Mike Piellucci of D Magazine popping on for a couple segments on his awesome new article on Dirk Nowitzki entering his Ron Bergundy era.  Plus, Krystina shines with a fun new music gameshow, we dive into the injuries that have ravaged our local teams, and our reaction to Chili's new bold move! 

“If a driverless car breaks the law… who gets the ticket?”That's the question that launches this hilariously unhinged episode of The Ben and Skin Show, where Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive into the bizarre world of autonomous vehicles, internet rabbit holes, and the strange things people do when no one's watching—except maybe AI.The crew reacts to a jaw-dropping story out of Atlanta, where a Waymo driverless car illegally passed a stopped school bus, sparking a heated (and hilarious) debate about the future of self-driving tech. Krystina floats a conspiracy theory that Elon Musk might be sabotaging competitors, while Skin wonders if we're all just beta testers in a glitchy simulation.Krystina, the only one brave enough to have actually ridden in a Waymo, defends the tech—until the conversation takes a sharp left turn into people allegedly getting frisky in autonomous vehicles. (“It's all on camera… but it's AI watching!”) From there, it's a full-speed descent into absurdity, including:

“Wait… did Lionel Richie really say Michael Jackson smelled bad?”In this segment of The Ben and Skin Show, Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray—dives headfirst into a whirlwind of celebrity oddities, pop culture nostalgia, and international comedy controversy.The show kicks off with a jaw-dropping revelation from Lionel Richie's new memoir: that the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, was affectionately (and maybe not-so-affectionately) nicknamed “Smelly” by Richie and Quincy Jones. Why? Because apparently, MJ wasn't too concerned with changing his clothes. The crew reacts in real-time, with Krystina's disgusted “Gross!” setting the tone for a segment that's equal parts hilarious and head-scratching.

"Is it possible to walk away from a tie and still feel like you won?"That's the question Ben, Skin, KT, and Krystina tackle in this wild, hilarious, and surprisingly heartfelt episode of The Ben and Skin Show. It's Cowboy Monday, and the crew is breaking down the bizarre 40-40 tie between the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers — a game that felt like it should've been a blowout but somehow turned into one of the most entertaining matchups of the season.Kevin “KT” Turner, our resident Packers apologist, showed up in full cheesehead mode, only to be emotionally whiplashed by a game that defied all logic. Ben Rogers shares his firsthand experience from inside the stadium — from elite parking and killer seats to a surreal encounter with a harmonizing family of screamers that might just be aliens. Yes, really.

Skin recalls the unforgettable “Polo Boys” nickname from a neighbor who may or may not have been the son of a prominent judge, while KT and Krystina try to make sense of the chaos.Then, Ben shares his epic misadventure in online appliance shopping, revealing how he accidentally bought a refrigerator so massive it nearly required demolition to install—and a microwave that could double as a small car. “It looks like a giant SUV parked in a mini garage,” Skin jokes, as the team roasts Ben's top-shelf taste and his quest for kitchen dominance.

Here's Thursday's show, featuring KT and Krystina's review of the new Jurassic Park movie, a primer for Cooper Flagg and Mavs summer league, and a discussion about the greatest cereals of all-time. 

The crew unpacks the bizarre and headline-grabbing arrest of Cowboys wide receiver Kevontae Turpin, who was clocked going 97 in a 70, with weed and an unholstered firearm in plain view. From hilarious speculation about Texas gun laws (“You can carry at the fair, right?”) to KT's deadpan delivery of “He couldn't pull off the holy triumvirate—he went with weed and weapons, no women this time,” this episode is packed with laugh-out-loud moments and razor-sharp commentary.This episode is a perfect blend of sports insight, off-the-cuff comedy, and the kind of chemistry only Ben, Skin, KT, and Krystina can deliver. Whether you're a die-hard Cowboys fan or just here for the chaos, this one's a ride from start to finish.

Back in 2021, both episode 49 and minisode #3 featured the story of 20-month-old Quortney Kley. On February 25, 1997, Quortney was sexually abused and murdered by her mom's boyfriend, Cayce Williams. It took nine years for the legal case to end with Williams accepting a plea agreement in 2006, and he was released in 2021 after spending only 24 years behind bars for the violent sexual assault and murder of a toddler. In this episode, you'll hear my recent conversation with Quortney's mom, Gretta Morgan, who has some disturbing updates for us about Quortney's killer and some shocking revelations about Illinois' sex offender registry. Quortney's case is already overwhelming in its injustice, but today's episode will boggle your mind. #DemandChangeILLinks related to this episode:• Episode 49: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-49-quortney-kley--44665620 • Minisode 3: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/minisode-3-quortney-kley-update--44665601• CBS2 news piece: https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/54-sex-offenders-living-in-one-englewood-building/#• Cayce Williams on the ISP sex offender registry: https://isp.illinois.gov/Sor/Details/X06B1162 • Gretta's recent interview with freelance journalist Sarah Boyles: https://www.facebook.com/SuicidePainter/photos/tw-quortney-kley-was-a-happy-funny-and-smart-20-month-old-baby-when-cayce-willia/1509718230371103/?_rdr Photos related to today's episode can be viewed on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpod You can also follow the podcast on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@STLCpodMy Linktree is available here: https://linktr.ee/stlcpod Visit the podcast's web page at https://www.sufferthelittlechildrenpod.com. By supporting me on Patreon, you'll also access rewards, including a shout-out by name on the podcast and exclusive rewards.
