Published 4 months, 1 week ago
Description
"Can ordering 18,000 water cups at Taco Bell save humanity from AI?"In this laugh-out-loud, thought-provoking episode of The Ben and Skin Show, hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray tackle the bizarre intersection of fast food, artificial intelligence, and southern restaurant drama.First up: AI at the Taco Bell drive-thru, where a customer hilariously broke the system by ordering 18,000 water cups. The gang dives into the implications of AI in everyday life, from glitchy McDonald’s bots to the existential question: Do delivery robots deserve empathy? Skin’s sci-fi musings and Krystina’s emotional reaction to a robot getting hit by a car spark a surprisingly deep conversation about the soul of machines.Then, the show shifts gears to a spicy southern scandal: Cracker Barrel’s rebrand backlash. A 93-year-old former CEO goes off on the new logo, calling it “pitiful” and accusing the new leadership—who came from Taco Bell—of throwing \$700 million “out in the street.” The team breaks down the culture clash, the logo drama, and the hilarious comparison of the new CEO to Garth from Wayne’s World.
