I heard it. SpinQuest, Ethan with I show you don't ruin it. The except for a similar sweet pursuant head. I'm old out, shawks shank through the sewer kid. Now what you're doing at the eagle, yeah we doing it 3 o'clock on the dock gotta have it for my house, a ghost status, how we're starting to get credit Shows that nut multiply like a rabbit, two nons on out crank it up, beat the habit I wanna hang out with my friends, rockin' on the radio My home, home, home boys get this shit, talkin' on the radio It's time to do this once again. Oh, baby, here we go. They take Christina. Yeah. Oh, the on the radio. Ah, yes. Hello, and welcome, everybody. It's the world famous Bennett

skin show. Happy hump day. Glad to have you on board with us today. I'm Ben Rogers, joined by Jeff Skin, Wade, the Wichita Falls wild card Kevin K T Turner and Christina Lil Baby Cornbread Ray. Lil Baby Cornbread. It's going to be a great show. I know I was in the pre show meeting. I heard just about everything we got going on. We've got the international wedding cancellation story that we get to get to that ties into the Cowboys. Dak Prescott saying we'll do that today at about 415. But the idea of of planning a wedding and everybody's going to Italy and then it falls apart right at the last minute. I would assume that even though, Dak makes $60 million a year, people are probably flying there on their own dime, right? Yep. Unless it's like family members or maybe he's got someone or she's got someone super close in their circle that can't afford. It's like, oh, yeah, we'll pay for them. But like, like, if if Dak invited Jake Ferguson, I don't think he's buying his trip to Italy.

Right. And so if you already have a trip to Italy planned, because this wedding was going to take place when next month, April 10th, you can't wait before the draft. You can't back out of that, right? No. Like you, you wouldn't ask me about travel insurance. We don't ever do that. Yeah. But would this be it? If you wanted to, could you call the airline or the hotel's they at this wedding? I was going to got canceled. Can I just get my money back? They'd be like, did you get travel insurance? Oh, you did. Yeah. Okay. You're fine. But I don't think you did. Let me look at your records, sir. Travel insurance. I've never messed with. But as a guy who's going to Europe in the summer, that is going to be a high consideration, considering that we are currently in a conflict. Yes. Or a war. Yes. Like, you know, we're in an entanglement. We're in an entanglement with Iran. Congress just perked up. What'd you say, Kevin? Did, uh, where are y'all going? I'm not telling you. Okay. Like that angle. We're going to Europe. Okay. But there's many places where you going, yeah, we're skipping around. Where you're going to

go to a beach in Israel. I was wanting to go see. I heard they have lovely. What are they done with Gaza over the last couple of years? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I saw some AI renderings. But if you, if somebody like had an international wedding, you're all the, or do those people just go ahead and go now and say, Hey, you just go. There's going to be a bunch of people that know each other and have a great time. There's just not a wedding because they're going to talk crap about them. Yeah. And they're probably all staying in the same villa or resort. Like, uh, not that I know a lot about European weddings, but I do believe usually if you have a, if you're taking a whole thing over there, you get a giant block of rooms and people can all hang out together and that whole deal. What was the joint bachelor and bachelor at party that started all this? Well, I'm sure there were other things that started this, but were they all staying in the same place? Probably not. I feel like what's the point of having a joint bachelor and bachelor at party? Everyone's there in the same vicinity. You would just stay in the same place. Yeah.

Do you know what we're dealing with in our household right now? My, so when Ben and I were younger, I didn't, I never had this, but apparently now they have senior trips. Yes. You got to take your kid on a senior trip, right? I'd never heard of that. So we took our daughter to, I guess, was two years ago, three years ago. We took our daughter to Turks and Kekos. So my son is 18. Well, what do you want to do? All he cares about is he wants to go somewhere where it's legal for him to drink at 18. That's all he wants. Answered answer. And I'm like, well, most like Mexico, you know, so I'm like, okay, so where's the cheapest play? Because if I'm just spending this money, so my son can sit at a bar and think that he's an adult, well, do I have to spend a lot of money on it? Do it in the backyard. My son, his senior trip was that a bunch of dudes. They just went to Mexico and some of the moms went and looked after him a little bit. Yeah. This is a deal where it's like, that's what I thought a senior trip was. The kids go. Because we were, I can't believe we did the things we did. I would never let my kids do the

things that we did. I don't even want you to be thinking about those things. Okay. So, but then my wife was like, no, no, no, it's the family goes on this trip. And I'm like, what did this start? I've never heard of that. I like that angle. And it, but, but, and that's the other thing too, is I was like trying to shoot all this down. Good desk. Just wants to drink. Let's take him to Vycon Village. But this is our family trip, though. And I'm like, oh, okay. That's so woke. Yeah. That's a whole other thing. I don't know about that. But I, here's what I want to ask you, guys, with it's that time of year, it's happening to me again. I'm following for the banana and the tailpipe. Do you know what it is? Mosquitoes on your nuts? Nope. Daxing the best shape. Yes. Yes. You're along those lines. I find myself and I get fooled by this every GD year. Jerry's changed. And yeah, it nothing has changed. But I'm sitting here going, well, maybe new defensive coordinator. I got the great offense. Look at these, like,

made a free agent move. Like I'm starting to buy in that this year could be different. I feel like I'm setting myself up for a huge letdown. Oh, cowboy. That was me. That was been let. I don't think that you're that far off because I also don't think that their defense is as far off as we think it is. They've got a lot of work to do. But they only have to be middle of the pack to be super competitive. And if you look at who was in the Super Bowl last year, now Seattle earned it. And they played great on both sides of the ball and blah, blah, blah. But every team is a lot closer than they think, except for the truly horrible. There's only three or four truly horrible teams. And everybody else is a lot closer than you think. Here's the one thing I was thinking about though with Jerry. You know how now we're sitting here talking about, well, Christian parkers here and they seem to be like listening to him. That's fine and good. We don't know if Christian parkers actually good or not. We're just excited by the idea that it's happening. But you know what else it shows another another asset or aspect of their franchise. It doesn't have direction because

now they're allowing this to happen. They're all over the damn place. And it just blows like the wind. Yeah. That's the overall problem is there's not a unified. You can be flexible, but they don't have core beliefs or values on how you build a football team and so every year. It's just a fire hose that no one's holding into spray all over the damn place because the realistic realistically you could have Christian Parker make his decisions here. I want this guy. I want this guy for my scheme and then he's gone in one year or two years to go be head coach somewhere else and now you got a new guy with a different scheme and may not believe the same things. Yes. And that's why I'm in Ranger mode. All right. We got off and running on a hump day skin. We're going to take us next and things skin is tracking. All right. How old is two old? We'll explore it next. Let's talk about sports predict. That's the new app. Sports predict is the app. I want you to download or you can go online at sports predict.com slash Eagle. What is it?
