WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.399
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to the Ben and Skin Show. I've just

2
00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:05.320
<v Speaker 1>returned from a summer vacation with my family. We went

3
00:00:05.360 --> 00:00:08.599
<v Speaker 1>to Turks and Caicos, and I'm recapping things. And my

4
00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:10.759
<v Speaker 1>wife is very frugal. She likes to save money, and

5
00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:13.279
<v Speaker 1>God bless her for that. And so she has me

6
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:17.879
<v Speaker 1>in the biggest backpack you've ever seen. And I am

7
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:21.359
<v Speaker 1>a giant torsoed person, Like I think I'm six three

8
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:25.079
<v Speaker 1>and but my legs are normal length. Okay, So I

9
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:27.559
<v Speaker 1>think I have a long back if you've ever noticed

10
00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:29.079
<v Speaker 1>this long back Rodgers and so.

11
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:31.719
<v Speaker 2>And I'm a huge mountain pear shaped man.

12
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:35.240
<v Speaker 1>And so when I wear a tiny backpack, my wife

13
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:36.799
<v Speaker 1>likes to make fun of me, like the one that

14
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:38.399
<v Speaker 1>has on the camera equipment and it's like a little

15
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:42.079
<v Speaker 1>Nike bag strip that looks ridiculous on you tiny. And

16
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:47.600
<v Speaker 1>so this thing was a giant suitcase with backpack straps

17
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:50.679
<v Speaker 1>on a giant back okay. And so I'm like, all right,

18
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:52.479
<v Speaker 1>and I end up packing that thing to the hill.

19
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:55.920
<v Speaker 1>I probably overpacked. I overpack when I go places, and

20
00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:00.679
<v Speaker 1>so I really I didn't realize how big it was

21
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:05.840
<v Speaker 1>because I'm very large until it's when I first started

22
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:07.879
<v Speaker 1>carrying it into the airport, my back was hurting.

23
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:11.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, god, this this is heavy.

24
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:13.959
<v Speaker 1>It's like a normal it's like an above average sized

25
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:18.760
<v Speaker 1>suitcase with backpack straps. And so we walk in and

26
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:21.359
<v Speaker 1>I was like, well, wait, why are why are you

27
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:22.640
<v Speaker 1>bringing rolling bags?

28
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:24.959
<v Speaker 2>She goes, well, Grace and I are checking our bags.

29
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:29.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, what, you only do carry on only if

30
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:33.599
<v Speaker 1>everyone is carry on only. If everyone is checking bags,

31
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:36.680
<v Speaker 1>then everyone checks. If anyone checks bags, everyone checks bags,

32
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:38.319
<v Speaker 1>because you defeat the purpose.

33
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:41.200
<v Speaker 2>You're waiting. No matter what, my carry on bag has

34
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:45.640
<v Speaker 2>rollers on it. Okay, so you could have checked it.

35
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:47.359
<v Speaker 2>But no, they had big suitcases.

36
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:51.879
<v Speaker 1>Oh no female size, Like we're taking like it's not

37
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:52.599
<v Speaker 1>good teamwork.

38
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:54.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, food you're going to be and Ben, you got

39
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:56.760
<v Speaker 2>to prepare. That's exactly my body.

40
00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:58.640
<v Speaker 3>Take a picture of you at the giant backpack.

41
00:01:59.680 --> 00:01:59.840
<v Speaker 2>No.

42
00:01:59.879 --> 00:02:01.719
<v Speaker 3>I don't think this is the first time Max has

43
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:02.640
<v Speaker 3>ever disappointed me.

44
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:05.920
<v Speaker 1>So so I'm like, hey, look why I tried to

45
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:08.800
<v Speaker 1>explain it to her, like, look, if anyone checks the bag,

46
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:10.800
<v Speaker 1>we all check bags, and none of us do, Like

47
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:13.560
<v Speaker 1>that's the way to do it. Otherwise, why am I

48
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:16.960
<v Speaker 1>carrying a suitcase? On my back right now. This is uncomfortable.

49
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:18.479
<v Speaker 3>What was her explanation?

50
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:21.240
<v Speaker 1>She was already she already tried to save money by

51
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:23.080
<v Speaker 1>having us go park at the airport, And I'm like,

52
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:25.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't we don't even know what gate we're gonna

53
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:27.840
<v Speaker 1>get dropped off at, Like we'll just get a service

54
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.479
<v Speaker 1>out there, like yeah, we're trying to save nineteen dollars

55
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:35.360
<v Speaker 1>and so so anyways, we're waiting to board our flight,

56
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:37.879
<v Speaker 1>and I'm super nervous because my wife also doesn't care

57
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:40.159
<v Speaker 1>about like what group boarding group you're in?

58
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:41.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh, dude, so we're in.

59
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:43.919
<v Speaker 3>My wife is the last person on any plane she's

60
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:44.479
<v Speaker 3>ever been on.

61
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:45.879
<v Speaker 2>So it's like, I don't understand.

62
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:47.840
<v Speaker 1>You got us in group six and eight out of

63
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:49.479
<v Speaker 1>eight groups, and first of all, our kids are in

64
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:50.240
<v Speaker 1>eight and we're in six.

65
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:52.719
<v Speaker 2>We're not even in the same group somehow. And I

66
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:53.319
<v Speaker 2>have a.

67
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:56.879
<v Speaker 1>Giant suitcase on my back, like they're gonna say, hey,

68
00:02:56.919 --> 00:02:59.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, you got to check that. Like the plane

69
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:01.400
<v Speaker 1>is full, I'm gonna have to go fighting for space

70
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:05.199
<v Speaker 1>and overhead, and so our plane is boarding right next

71
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:09.080
<v Speaker 1>to another plane that's boarding, and I can barely understand

72
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:12.159
<v Speaker 1>what they're saying. And so I think they call group

73
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:15.319
<v Speaker 1>six for our flight. And so you know what the

74
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:17.159
<v Speaker 1>worst thing is is when people are standing in the

75
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:19.719
<v Speaker 1>line blocking the group from getting into the plane. I

76
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:24.479
<v Speaker 1>loudly start questioning all of their behavior too. I never

77
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:28.000
<v Speaker 1>understand why someone who's not turn it is stands and

78
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:29.159
<v Speaker 1>blocks the walkway.

79
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:30.439
<v Speaker 2>I don't get.

80
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:32.960
<v Speaker 1>It right, Like it's group three boarding, but the group

81
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:35.599
<v Speaker 1>eight people are blocking the way from everyone. And so

82
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.199
<v Speaker 1>I am pissed off about that, and so I tell

83
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:40.639
<v Speaker 1>my family follow me. I just heard our group called,

84
00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:43.719
<v Speaker 1>and we're paying a king stress and I'm walking with

85
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:47.800
<v Speaker 1>the biggest suitcase and I turn around to make sure

86
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:48.479
<v Speaker 1>they're behind me.

87
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:50.759
<v Speaker 2>And what happens when you turn around with the giant

88
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:52.520
<v Speaker 2>backpack or you knock somebody over.

89
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:57.280
<v Speaker 1>I like hip checked somebody with my backpack.

90
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:00.159
<v Speaker 2>I didn't even know I felt something, but I just

91
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:02.960
<v Speaker 2>kept going. And is it a small Asian lady?

92
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:06.599
<v Speaker 1>Max goes, I apologize for you, like you smash somebody

93
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:09.120
<v Speaker 1>with your backpack? And I was like, and they go,

94
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:11.360
<v Speaker 1>where are you going? I go, I'm getting on the plane.

95
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:13.319
<v Speaker 1>They just called our group. He's like, what group are

96
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:16.360
<v Speaker 1>you in? I was like, I'm in Group six. He

97
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:19.879
<v Speaker 1>goes they just called group three and it was the

98
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:22.519
<v Speaker 1>wrong one. It was the wrong one. I was going

99
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:27.519
<v Speaker 1>to the wrong one. So I almost knock somebody over,

100
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:31.680
<v Speaker 1>and I'm carrying this giant suitcase on my back, which

101
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:33.920
<v Speaker 1>is way too big, like ice, I am going to

102
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.639
<v Speaker 1>need to go to see a chiropractor, Like my back

103
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:38.360
<v Speaker 1>is jacked now because of this thing.

104
00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:40.360
<v Speaker 3>Then they finally got to group six. Did they make

105
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:41.000
<v Speaker 3>you check it in?

106
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:43.959
<v Speaker 1>So we go to group six and we're like, all right,

107
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.600
<v Speaker 1>kids get behind us. So we'll go check in as

108
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:48.759
<v Speaker 1>group six, and then we'll kind of get on the

109
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.560
<v Speaker 1>other side of the velvet rope. And then when our

110
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:53.759
<v Speaker 1>kids break out that they're in group eight, they're not

111
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:56.040
<v Speaker 1>going to separate the kids from the parents, right, so

112
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:57.680
<v Speaker 1>they'll just let them get on. And so that's how

113
00:04:57.680 --> 00:04:59.720
<v Speaker 1>it worked. But you didn't have to check your bag.

114
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.800
<v Speaker 1>I did not have to check it, all right, I

115
00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:03.040
<v Speaker 1>did not have to check it. I thought they were

116
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:05.439
<v Speaker 1>gonna say, yo, this is too big. Home cat Rogers vindicated.

117
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:07.519
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they ever really got a change. So

118
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:08.480
<v Speaker 1>I was blocking it.

119
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:11.800
<v Speaker 2>That's the thing about me being so big, you couldn't.

120
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:14.920
<v Speaker 1>See you already looked smaller, right, Yeah, Like like, sir,

121
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:18.000
<v Speaker 1>you need to check yourself in. If it was my

122
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:20.480
<v Speaker 1>son wearing the backpack I was wearing, it would have

123
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:21.319
<v Speaker 1>looked like someone.

124
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:21.920
<v Speaker 2>Carrying a boulder.

125
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:24.399
<v Speaker 1>They would be like, you can't bring that on a flight,

126
00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:26.879
<v Speaker 1>Like we're gonna have to regauge the how much weight

127
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:29.920
<v Speaker 1>is on board? Uh? Anyways, that is the first of

128
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:33.319
<v Speaker 1>several different stories that I'll tell about this great adventure

129
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:36.160
<v Speaker 1>to Turks and kkos. Sorry, coming up next, KT, We're

130
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:37.399

00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:37.560
<v Speaker 2>Well.
