Another concert that Christina and I went to this year, twenty twenty four. K's the Elephant. I saw a lot of shows good twenty twenty four. We're gonna wrap up some twenty twenty four stuff because we are the Ben and Skin Show. Ben and Skin are out today. You might hear from one of them or both later, but today's show's gonna be fun. Last segment, I'm gonna do my twenty twenty four celebrity death song, So gear up for that.
Please explain that to people who don't know what that is, because it is the best thing ever.
And if you don't know, I'm Kevin Turner, you know I'm at KT fun tweets. You know some people call me KT. You never know. That's Christina six to ten tonight.
Are you gonna explain your death song?
So?
Yeah, So I've done it on the radio for many a year.
Yeah.
Sometimes it's produced, sometimes it's acoustic. Sometimes I go and I get a producer and do a full musical score to it. But I collect some of the celebrity deaths or local debts and I work it into a song. And you know, songs work a lot of times with rhyming, and yeah, so we just kind of remember those who have passed.
That's the best way. I like it when you perfom it live, honestly.
Yeah. I like doing it live too. Yeah. So we'll do it live at five fifty ish today, Okay, don't miss that. It'll be fun and a lot of other stuff, a lot of stuff. It's a It's one of those things where this the show might sound a little off to you if you're listening, because Ben and Skin aren't here and it is the Ben and Skin show. But I hope we Christina and I have kind of kept it feeling the same, uh, and I have decided it feels the same. I'm starting the show off with business news, Christina.
Oh, okay.
Three stories from the world of business are going to start the day, and we will start with a local one here. Washington Post is going after one of our Texas treasures. Yes, those libs up there in Washington. Here is what the story says from a Washington Post. The Post. The article is tied what happened to Waterburger?
What happen?
What is the deal? The writer is of this articles a a guy the name of Omar Galaga loves arcade games.
Yep, beat me to it and smashing watermelons.
And he is a Texas based guy. Mm hmm, you're Gallagher. Joke snuck in there, the Texas based guy. And so in this article he takes one TikTok post and it's a guy in Hazlet. I just love the Washington Post is somehow got their hands in hazl It. Yeah, that makes me happy. And the guy in Hazlett posted a video after a bad experience that he had at a Fort Worth Waterburger. He said he had the wrong order and twenty five minutes of waiting, to which I say, hey, man, don't be a caring about it.
Well, I mean, that does happen. You don't have to tell the Washington Post that that's true. It's like, just be a normal person. It happens to everyone. Some people have bad days.
Well, he made the video on TikTok Okay.
Wait, did he get the chicken fingers? Because that's usually what takes twenty five minutes? Uh?
Yeah, thing, did you order something that's not easy to put together there?
Do you want your food fresh or no?
His name is Jim Fitz and he says in that TikTok video, don't go to Warburger anymore. Ever since they got bought out, it's been trash.
Okay.
So then he spoke with the Washington Post and he said it's just been a string of bad experiences and Waterburger despite like anyone, do you think they've been very successful? I think twenty twenty three was their most profitable year ever. I mean, like they're doing great.
Would anyone doubt that they weren't doing great?
I wouldn't. I remember having concerns when they were bought out years ago, just as we all did just Chexas based. Yeah, you know, I don't need Chicago coming in here buying my Texas.
It's not changing anything, it's not. It's okay.
So another person, and that was interviewing this article says, when when friends or family come from out of state, it's not Waterburger they want to go to anymore, it's BUCkies. Oh well, which, as someone who's got North Carolina family, yep, absolutely, everyone.
Loves okay real quick. When we drove to Houston, there are two BUCkies on the way to Houston, both packed completely. Both times we left Saturday midday packed, came back Sunday night, late night packed.
And that trip to Houston is it's normally not a bad drive.
The way back suck.
Yeah, the way back does suck, but going down there you still have your you know, I don't know, you're still excited about what you're going to do. Yeah, the way back always sucks, right, But I agree with you on those two BUCkies specifically, it's insane even if you like, I need to get gas.
Too, Exactly, I can't and we had to and I had to fill up my tires too. I just don't understand it, but that he is correct on that people do say BUCkies now over Waterburger is a.
Guy who gets to stand when I go number one. BUCkies are nice in that regard for you, right, Oh, yes, yeah, that's another thing that I think we look over if anyone has anything bad to say about BUCkies. I was like, I don't want to hear anything bad from women about BUCkies. Oh, because you get to sit on a nice, clean toilet.
You're not gonna let us talk.
No, no, and men who have to poop too. But I just don't, you.
Know, pristine bathrooms. Yeah, I don't think I've heard any No, I think i've heard anyone complain about BUCkies besides it being packed. Like I just said other World.
