What happens when a Major League Baseball broadcast turns into a crash course on Blink-182, Oasis, and chicken wings—all in the middle of a 3-2 game?In this delightfully offbeat and laugh-packed episode of The Ben and Skin Show, hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray serve up a sizzling mix of sports, music, and absurdity that only they can deliver.The show kicks off with a giveaway for Rangers tickets—but the real prize is the hilarity that follows. The crew dives into a series of unforgettable moments from Baltimore Orioles play-by-play announcer Kevin Brown, whose in-game conversations with rotating color commentators veer wildly off course in the best way possible.If you’ve ever argued over the best Oasis song, wondered why someone would avoid chicken wings, or just love when sports and pop culture collide, this episode is for you.
