0:00Hey, it's Cole Swindle, and when I spend 200 days a year rolling down the highway, the bus can start to feel smaller than a guitar case. Everyone wonders how I stay chill while the hours crawl by. Truth is, one good luck spent on Chamba, and suddenly the trip does a whole lot shorter. Found in your space, even when there isn't much to spare. Need some chill? Let's Chamba! No purchase necessary, VGW Group Boyd were prohibited by law, 21 plus TNC Supply, sponsored by Chamba Casino. If you love a good station, if you just want to vibe to everything going on in your life and around you, it'll be with you for a lifetime. It is, it is, the music is in you! Let's go! Let's fit the music in you! Oh, what can you do? Quick, quick, quick!

1:14Tood in, zone out, crank it up, beat the habit! I want to hang out with my friends, rockin' on the radio, my home, the homeboy's been skinned. Talkin' on the radio, it's time to do this once again. Oh baby, here we go, KT Christina is skinned, all up on the radio. Ah yes, happy Thursday everybody! Good Friday, welcome to the Ben & Skin Show, Ben Rogers, Jeff Skin Wade, the Wichita Falls Wildcard Kevin KT Turner, and Christina K-Ray, little baby cornbread ray. All hands on deck today for what's gonna be an incredible show, and yes, we'd like to put our show in you, so thank you for allowing us to do that. Skin, you weren't there the day that lady jumped on the mic and did that at the Choctaw Casino Resort in Durant, but you can feel the magical energy from it nonetheless. I was really excited to be involved in some high-level eye-heart meetings where they're doing a whole imaging campaign based around that new slogan.

2:2097.1, the eagle, we're gonna put that music in, you! Oh, it's so good, it's so good. Today's show will be cut a little bit short, we'll be out here by 5.30, we'll give way to the Mavs pre-game show. The Mavs square out tonight with Orlando, that game starts at 6, we got lots to get to. Last night somebody crapped in their pants on television. And we'll talk about it at 4.30. Who was it? Kristina was watching it when it happened. I saw it, I saw it live. You saw it. Yep. Oh, it was live TV. Yeah, it was live TV. You saw it happen. So it happened. And it was, could you tell? Yeah, yeah, I'll give you more details when we cover that later. Okay, that was fantastic. I've been saying Delcus needs a diaper for a long time. Yeah, that's fair. Let's see, we got a, we got a news quickie. KT was giving us the tease on this. He said, you don't want to get a prostate exam from this guy. That's it 4 o'clock and I was wondering if he was pointing it himself with both thumbs. Yep, I was actually.

3:21I know who it is. Okay. A former NBA first pick, Greg Oden, who had gigantic hands. Right. Oh, no, yeah. He did some story when he got drafted about, only ever wanted to be was a dentist, but his hands would never fit in a patient's mouth. Oh, my God. Are there any doctors in my network with small digits? Well, these are just some of the things that we're going to be doing. Also, the end of one of the best things on television, that's at 330. But before we get started, I want to just let you inside the mind of me. These are some of the things I was thinking about this morning. Two of these things I saw on social media, social media. One of them, and this is a fear that I have on my long list of fears. You guys want to rattle off any of the fears I have? I know you guys are familiar with some of them. Dangling sharks, prison. Those are the big three. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's on a one tier below, but I think other arachnids, spiders are in the mids, scorpions. But they're below sharks for some reason, even though it's way more likely you would encounter snakes and spiders and things like that.

4:23Also have the irrational fear that my kids when they were toddlers would be stranded in the median of a highway. Yeah. I have a fear of that now that my kids are 2018. But this is a fear that I haven't talked about a lot. Actually, it's twofold. I'm scared of escalators and elevators. Do you guys have any, do you align with me on that at all? Let me say I'm not afraid of escalators, but I do have anxiety seeing little kids get on escalators because their shoes are never tied. Yes. I'm not saying I'm afraid I won't ride an escalator. I'm just saying I have a healthier spec for escalators. Okay. Hey, man, you need to show that escalator somewhere. And I'm like, this escalator could kill you if you do. It's not likely. Yeah. You're more likely to be killed by a toaster. But I bet if you Google it, there's people that die on escalators every year. You have a fear of someone being ground in gears. That's what it sounds like. Yeah. Okay. So this is what I saw. This is my elevator fear. And I saw this on social media today. It's a guy riding on an elevator and the elevator camera is filming him.

5:27First of all, I hope there's no sound on that because sometimes I fart in empty elevators. What? Oh, yeah, we need to get the security footage of this. And that's always problematic if somebody you know gets on the elevator as you're getting off. Uh-huh. So that's not good. But this guy is riding on an elevator with no sound. And as he gets to the floor that he needs, he starts casually stepping off the elevator and getting off onto that floor as anybody would. And the elevator starts going up while the door is open. Oh. And so it almost cuts his body in half. Wow. And he's just barely able to escape. I retweeted this. But if you guys have ever seen any footage like that, sometimes it ends incredibly poorly. Yeah. Uh, it's terrifying if you think about it. I actually saw this exact same video. I think I saw it last night. And it doesn't just slowly go up. It like quickly goes up. Yes. So how he was able to make it out of their unscathed. So there was a Italian golfer. Um, this happened last week. Italian golfer. Uh, and he was in South Africa for a tournament. And he walked into the elevator shaft.

6:29And he walked into the elevator. The car's not there. Fell three floors. Ooh. And he died. He just got on. He survived. He actually went to college and texted him. Oh. He survived. But he's injured and can't play for a long time. How's the swing? His swing was looking good. Yeah. After the fall tour. As curious. Now it's not good. Yeah. And he's lucky. It was only three floors. And the car was not further down. How many Italians go to Texas? And that's the real. You're barely. If you know the answer, text the general 21478705053. The other thing that's on my radar today is, first of all, I can't say Shay Gillis Alexander without saying Shane Gillis Alexander. It's funny to me every single time. You said that earlier and I double taked. I see you. I love it so much. And people go Photoshop. Shane Gillis's head on Shay's body. Perfect. Which is even funnier. But last night, Shay Gillis Alexander was doing post game interview. I'm thinking this was last night. They were in New York. He was cold New York. And he did a post game interview in the largest fur coat I've ever seen.

7:33And it was not real animal fur. It almost looked like Muppet fur or Aussie the bear. Yeah. It looked like a giant teddy bear. And it was so massively oversized. And it had the biggest turtle neck on it to where it looked like he was getting choked out by a giant teddy bear or slowly slipping into a quick sand couch. And the only thing that was showing was his face, not even his neck. Yeah. He definitely looked like he was moments away from putting the head back on and then going and interacting with kids out on the middle. Like it's a costume. It's not even right? Yes. And I'm like, I'm sitting there making fun of it. And I'm like, but dude, I have the worst style ever. I was thinking I dressed like Gary Busy. So I can't really, I don't really have a. What are Gary Busy? And that's fair. I think current day. Oh wow. Oh wow. He had some style in the 80s. What? What? What is that? Fashion icon. Yeah. Yeah. And these are just some of the things I'm tracking. Skin, what are you tracking?

8:34Okay. Coming up next, we just missed the anniversary. The 30 year anniversary of something really special. I think to all of us, at least half of us will talk about it next. It is Ryan C.
