Speaker 1: It is The Ben and Skin Show ninety seven point
Speaker 1: one The Eagle. I'm very excited for the last half
Speaker 1: hour of the show today. We got some good stuff,
Speaker 1: including Christina's very excited about something that's coming to Netflix
Speaker 1: and she'll tell you all about it coming up here
Speaker 1: in about twenty minutes or so. But right now it's
Speaker 1: time for this.
Speaker 2: And now it's time for Ben.
Speaker 1: Since week Day Up Day, featuring veteran news anchor ktth
Speaker 1: on tweets, here are the important stories he's currently tracking
Speaker 1: from around the world. For a couple of stories, I
Speaker 1: want to get to. A wild story finally came to
Speaker 1: its conclusion this morning. Trevor McEwan was a murder suspect
Speaker 1: and he was supposed to appear in court for his
Speaker 1: trial back in early May. So the morning of his
Speaker 1: trial he was not being you know, he was out
Speaker 1: though he was out on bell but you know, ankle
Speaker 1: monitor and all that stuff. So morning that he's supposed
Speaker 1: to go and try it's supposed to begin, he snaps
Speaker 1: off his ankle monitor and disappears. And they've been looking
Speaker 1: for him for about a month now. I've been back
Speaker 1: when this happened. It was one of those stories like Okay,
Speaker 1: we'll do this on the show, and she didn't have
Speaker 1: time to get to it. There's a fugitive. We had
Speaker 1: to do a fart story. Yeah, it broke off is
Speaker 1: you know, it's like as not the most fun thing.
Speaker 2: But by the.
Speaker 1: Way, have you ever seen one of those ankle monitors?
Speaker 1: Like how hard is it to snap that FROs? Like
Speaker 1: it's hard to do? But I don't I don't know.
Speaker 1: He had, you know, a free man, I guess sort of,
Speaker 1: you know he had. Here's what he was charged with
Speaker 1: killing and killing his neighbor over in forty It was
Speaker 1: not forty k though. It was a man by the
Speaker 1: name of Aaron Martinez. They say he was shot more
Speaker 1: than fifteen times. What the hell that's Yeah, So rather
Speaker 1: than go to his trial like he's supposed to, he
Speaker 1: takes the ankle monitor off and he's gone away and
Speaker 1: then he's now a top ten you know fugitive in
Speaker 1: Texas and rank him for some reason. Always weird.
Speaker 2: They usually do it by height.
Speaker 1: Used to put them on these little newspapers too. They
Speaker 1: used to see this at the gas station when I
Speaker 1: was a kid going with my grandpa and they'd have
Speaker 1: the America's most Wanted list on these little papers at
Speaker 1: the station. How much the small town stuff. But maybe
Speaker 1: in the big town they do it at the post office. Okay, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Like anytime you would walk into a post office they
Speaker 1: would have the most one.
Speaker 2: Crazy. But this morning he was found at a residence
Speaker 2: in van Zant County. Is that right?
Speaker 1: You know? Van Zant's west of Tyler, Eastern taryrel directly
Speaker 1: east of out He was still close.
Speaker 2: He didn't get very far.
Speaker 1: Brother, if you're gonna take the time to snap off
Speaker 1: your ankle monitor get out of the state, well, go ahead.
Speaker 2: My parents live in van Zant County.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of land out there, so he was
Speaker 1: probably trying to hide out in some barn or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'm not horrible staying in a barn. Do yeah?
Speaker 2: Van Zant County have anything to do with towns van Zant?
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, Come on, dude.
Speaker 1: Uh okay, So he had been gone for a month.
Speaker 1: He snapped off his ankle monitor and made it about
Speaker 1: forty five minutes away.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Honestly, though, if you make it out of the side
Speaker 1: of that five day window, you're not thinking to look
Speaker 1: at you though, they're not really thinking to look here,
Speaker 1: They're they're spreading out.
Speaker 2: Don't you go to Mexico? Maybe he was confused, Maybe
Speaker 2: he doesn't know direction like we do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well all you gotta do is look where the
Speaker 1: sun sets. Man, what's this guy doing instead of South?
Speaker 2: Yeah? What a moron? Tough deal there? What if they
Speaker 2: cut him?
Speaker 1: He was doing some good charity work though, he was
Speaker 1: doing like a good deed. Theyll time served. Other story though.
Speaker 1: Last night some storms kind of popped up over in
Speaker 1: fort Worth, little South Fortworth.
Speaker 2: In Benbrook even.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and these are stories I just think of as
Speaker 1: you know, a kid when we went to the lake
Speaker 1: a lot. I don't go to lake anymore. Have been
Speaker 1: the lake in a long time, claiming to be a
Speaker 1: lake kid? No, no, no, yeah, growing up, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: all the time, Monster trucks and lakes.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well yeah, jealous, Christina was what was?
Speaker 1: I had to like use my friend's pools all the
Speaker 1: time because that's all we had. But your friends had pools, yes,
Speaker 1: I know, I know you guys in your country life.
Speaker 2: We had to go to the city pool where there's
Speaker 2: a urine everywhere.
Speaker 1: Uh So there's some storms that came in and there
Speaker 1: was a lightning near Benbrook at this place called Mustang Park, Okay,
Speaker 1: in fourteen people were injured. Now the story goes they
Speaker 1: were trying to hold down or something. Some groups of
Speaker 1: people were trying to hold down a canopy, Okay, and
Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, yeah, those are made out of iron metal,
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah. But I was also thinking this is
Speaker 1: a thing, and I don't I did a little research
Speaker 1: on this before the show, but I don't think it's clear.
Speaker 1: You know, the boats all come in when there's lightning
Speaker 1: or storm's coming. You got to get off the water
Speaker 1: because if lightning strikes the water. We were told as
Speaker 1: kids that you would be struck if you were in
Speaker 1: the lake when the water when the lightning struck the water,
Speaker 1: and then you know, the currents would electrocute you and
Speaker 1: you die right then and there. But and I just
Speaker 1: don't know if that's true or not. I think that Okay,
Speaker 1: now it's time for people to act like they know
Speaker 1: something that they don't know. Wouldn't the body the bigger
Speaker 1: the body of water is the less likelihood it could
Speaker 1: carry all, like I get it, like a swimming pool
Speaker 1: or something, or you know, if like if you were
Speaker 1: like in one of those houses that didn't have roofs
Speaker 1: and you're in the bathtub and the lightning came into
Speaker 1: the bathtub. But I don't know, like a lake really,
Speaker 1: like if I'm on the other side of the lake
Speaker 1: and lightning strikes it, Like, wouldn't that kill every fish
Speaker 1: in the lake.
Speaker 2: If that exactly what I was gonna say, it would
Speaker 2: kill everything in it. Well, let me tell you about
Speaker 2: a quick story Lake Texomach. I'll take thirty seconds. Definitely
Speaker 2: under the age of eight.
Speaker 1: Papaull, Buddy, Uncle Jim, cousin Jimmy, we're going out fishing.
Speaker 1: We got a little too far away from the camp site,
Speaker 1: maybe went to the other way, other side of the lake. Now,
Speaker 1: I contend it was a situation where everyone was just
Speaker 1: trying to get away from their wife.
Speaker 2: But I could be wrong.
Speaker 1: I'm too young to know, right, I get back Nana,
Speaker 1: my mom. There's like panic because a big storm had
Speaker 1: hit and we'd gone through the storm back and they're
Speaker 1: like hugging me like they like I died and they.
Speaker 2: Were never gonna see you again.
Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you, Papaul, Buddy and Uncle Jim
Speaker 1: got an ash chewing the size of Texas.
Speaker 2: Is that right? It scarred in my brain forever.
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 2: Is papau Buddy one or two people? One? Okay, Papa Buddy.
Speaker 2: That is a badass name. It is, I guess Buddy Knocks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because if you said Pa Pauw Buddy, get this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's Buddy Knox. Uncle Jim is Jim Reeves. Buddy Knocks
Speaker 1: and Jim Reeves were country music singers in the sixties. Okay,
Speaker 1: And what if you merge them together and they became
Speaker 1: Jim Knox. It's the Bin and Skin Show ninety seven
