Speaker 1: You're listening to the Ben and Skin Show. I've just
Speaker 1: returned from a summer vacation with my family. We went
Speaker 1: to Turks and Caicos, and I'm recapping things. And my
Speaker 1: wife is very frugal. She likes to save money, and
Speaker 1: God bless her for that. And so she has me
Speaker 1: in the biggest backpack you've ever seen. And I am
Speaker 1: a giant torsoed person, Like I think I'm six three
Speaker 1: and but my legs are normal length. Okay, So I
Speaker 1: think I have a long back if you've ever noticed
Speaker 1: this long back Rodgers and so.
Speaker 2: And I'm a huge mountain pear shaped man.
Speaker 1: And so when I wear a tiny backpack, my wife
Speaker 1: likes to make fun of me, like the one that
Speaker 1: has on the camera equipment and it's like a little
Speaker 1: Nike bag strip that looks ridiculous on you tiny. And
Speaker 1: so this thing was a giant suitcase with backpack straps
Speaker 1: on a giant back okay. And so I'm like, all right,
Speaker 1: and I end up packing that thing to the hill.
Speaker 1: I probably overpacked. I overpack when I go places, and
Speaker 1: so I really I didn't realize how big it was
Speaker 1: because I'm very large until it's when I first started
Speaker 1: carrying it into the airport, my back was hurting.
Speaker 2: I'm like, god, this this is heavy.
Speaker 1: It's like a normal it's like an above average sized
Speaker 1: suitcase with backpack straps. And so we walk in and
Speaker 1: I was like, well, wait, why are why are you
Speaker 1: bringing rolling bags?
Speaker 2: She goes, well, Grace and I are checking our bags.
Speaker 1: I'm like, what, you only do carry on only if
Speaker 1: everyone is carry on only. If everyone is checking bags,
Speaker 1: then everyone checks. If anyone checks bags, everyone checks bags,
Speaker 1: because you defeat the purpose.
Speaker 2: You're waiting. No matter what, my carry on bag has
Speaker 2: rollers on it. Okay, so you could have checked it.
Speaker 2: But no, they had big suitcases.
Speaker 1: Oh no female size, Like we're taking like it's not
Speaker 1: good teamwork.
Speaker 2: Yeah, food you're going to be and Ben, you got
Speaker 2: to prepare. That's exactly my body.
Speaker 3: Take a picture of you at the giant backpack.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 3: I don't think this is the first time Max has
Speaker 3: ever disappointed me.
Speaker 1: So so I'm like, hey, look why I tried to
Speaker 1: explain it to her, like, look, if anyone checks the bag,
Speaker 1: we all check bags, and none of us do, Like
Speaker 1: that's the way to do it. Otherwise, why am I
Speaker 1: carrying a suitcase? On my back right now. This is uncomfortable.
Speaker 3: What was her explanation?
Speaker 1: She was already she already tried to save money by
Speaker 1: having us go park at the airport, And I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't we don't even know what gate we're gonna
Speaker 1: get dropped off at, Like we'll just get a service
Speaker 1: out there, like yeah, we're trying to save nineteen dollars
Speaker 1: and so so anyways, we're waiting to board our flight,
Speaker 1: and I'm super nervous because my wife also doesn't care
Speaker 1: about like what group boarding group you're in?
Speaker 2: Oh, dude, so we're in.
Speaker 3: My wife is the last person on any plane she's
Speaker 3: ever been on.
Speaker 2: So it's like, I don't understand.
Speaker 1: You got us in group six and eight out of
Speaker 1: eight groups, and first of all, our kids are in
Speaker 1: eight and we're in six.
Speaker 2: We're not even in the same group somehow. And I
Speaker 2: have a.
Speaker 1: Giant suitcase on my back, like they're gonna say, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you got to check that. Like the plane
Speaker 1: is full, I'm gonna have to go fighting for space
Speaker 1: and overhead, and so our plane is boarding right next
Speaker 1: to another plane that's boarding, and I can barely understand
Speaker 1: what they're saying. And so I think they call group
Speaker 1: six for our flight. And so you know what the
Speaker 1: worst thing is is when people are standing in the
Speaker 1: line blocking the group from getting into the plane. I
Speaker 1: loudly start questioning all of their behavior too. I never
Speaker 1: understand why someone who's not turn it is stands and
Speaker 1: blocks the walkway.
Speaker 2: I don't get.
Speaker 1: It right, Like it's group three boarding, but the group
Speaker 1: eight people are blocking the way from everyone. And so
Speaker 1: I am pissed off about that, and so I tell
Speaker 1: my family follow me. I just heard our group called,
Speaker 1: and we're paying a king stress and I'm walking with
Speaker 1: the biggest suitcase and I turn around to make sure
Speaker 1: they're behind me.
Speaker 2: And what happens when you turn around with the giant
Speaker 2: backpack or you knock somebody over.
Speaker 1: I like hip checked somebody with my backpack.
Speaker 2: I didn't even know I felt something, but I just
Speaker 2: kept going. And is it a small Asian lady?
Speaker 1: Max goes, I apologize for you, like you smash somebody
Speaker 1: with your backpack? And I was like, and they go,
Speaker 1: where are you going? I go, I'm getting on the plane.
Speaker 1: They just called our group. He's like, what group are
Speaker 1: you in? I was like, I'm in Group six. He
Speaker 1: goes they just called group three and it was the
Speaker 1: wrong one. It was the wrong one. I was going
Speaker 1: to the wrong one. So I almost knock somebody over,
Speaker 1: and I'm carrying this giant suitcase on my back, which
Speaker 1: is way too big, like ice, I am going to
Speaker 1: need to go to see a chiropractor, Like my back
Speaker 1: is jacked now because of this thing.
Speaker 3: Then they finally got to group six. Did they make
Speaker 3: you check it in?
Speaker 1: So we go to group six and we're like, all right,
Speaker 1: kids get behind us. So we'll go check in as
Speaker 1: group six, and then we'll kind of get on the
Speaker 1: other side of the velvet rope. And then when our
Speaker 1: kids break out that they're in group eight, they're not
Speaker 1: going to separate the kids from the parents, right, so
Speaker 1: they'll just let them get on. And so that's how
Speaker 1: it worked. But you didn't have to check your bag.
Speaker 1: I did not have to check it, all right, I
Speaker 1: did not have to check it. I thought they were
Speaker 1: gonna say, yo, this is too big. Home cat Rogers vindicated.
Speaker 1: I don't think they ever really got a change. So
Speaker 1: I was blocking it.
Speaker 2: That's the thing about me being so big, you couldn't.
Speaker 1: See you already looked smaller, right, Yeah, Like like, sir,
Speaker 1: you need to check yourself in. If it was my
Speaker 1: son wearing the backpack I was wearing, it would have
Speaker 1: looked like someone.
Speaker 2: Carrying a boulder.
Speaker 1: They would be like, you can't bring that on a flight,
Speaker 1: Like we're gonna have to regauge the how much weight
Speaker 1: is on board? Uh? Anyways, that is the first of
Speaker 1: several different stories that I'll tell about this great adventure
Speaker 1: to Turks and kkos. Sorry, coming up next, KT, We're
Speaker 1: going to take some in the Hollywood Shuffle.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: You also returned from vacation claiming to have had a
Speaker 1: new top five favorite TV show of all time?
Speaker 2: What is it next?
