Pretty Darn Serious: The Absurdity of Weather Jargon

6 minutes

“Wait… what the heck is a PDS?!” That’s the question that kicks off a hilariously relatable and wildly entertaining episode of The Ben and Skin Show on 97.1 The Eagle.Join Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray as they dive headfirst into the chaotic world of Texas weather coverage, where new meteorological terms seem to pop up faster than a summer thunderstorm. From the mysterious rise of “tornadic activity” to the baffling overuse of “PDS” (that’s “Particularly Dangerous Situation” — or as Skin’s wife hilariously guessed, “Pretty Darn Serious”), the crew breaks down the absurdity of weather lingo with their signature wit and charm.Key Moments You Can’t Miss:

🎧 Skin’s epic rant on how “tornadic activity” suddenly became a thing.
🌩️ The “PDS” confusion that sparks a laugh-out-loud debate about whether weather terms should just be more honest (and funnier).
🛻 Pete Delkus’ storm coverage gets lovingly roasted — especially when he drops “PDS” 25 times without explaining it.

This episode is a perfect blend of local flavor, observational comedy, and the kind of chemistry only Ben, Skin, KT, and Krystina can deliver. Whether you're a weather nerd or just love a good laugh, this one’s for you.
