“Tell me how it’s fixed. We’re not continuing this conversation until you explain exactly how.”That’s the challenge Skin throws down in this wildly entertaining episode of The Ben and Skin Show, where conspiracy theories, celebrity run-ins, and hilarious weekend recaps collide in a perfect storm of chaos and comedy.Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray are back on 97.1 The Eagle, and they’re bringing the heat—and the laughs. From Skin’s yacht rock weekend and KT’s electric night with Saul Goodman’s secretary (yes, really), to Krystina’s storm-shortened but stellar performance at the Wildflower Festival, the crew dives into their weekends. But the real fireworks start when Ben recounts a birthday party conversation gone off the rails: two friends, a few drinks, and a full-blown belief that the NBA Draft is rigged. What follows is a masterclass in comedic frustration, as Ben and Skin try to reason with the unreasonable. The result? One of the funniest and most relatable sports rants you’ll hear all year.Memorable Moments:
- 🎸 KT casually hanging out with Electric Six and a Breaking Bad alum.
- 🎤 Krystina’s band Oatmeal Pizza rocking the Wildflower Festival before the skies opened up.
- 🏀 Ben’s futile attempt to explain NBA Draft logic to two very confident conspiracy theorists.
- 🧠 KT’s deadpan: “Friends are replaceable, bud.”
- 🚀 A sudden pivot to Tom Cruise, Scientology, and the possibility of becoming best friends with Maverick himself.
- The absurdity of sports conspiracies
- The beauty of low-stakes weekends
- Celebrity encounters in the most unexpected places
- The power of walking away from dumb conversations (with a drink in hand)
- Argued with someone who just won’t listen
- Wondered what it’s like to party with Electric Six
- Thought about becoming a Scientologist just to hang with Tom Cruise

Speaker 4 (02:33):
Also joining us the Pride and Joy of Well, I
would say a voatmeal pizza, but there's every band member

too much favoritism. She's from Crandle texts all she's a
Pride Joy Voatmeal pizza. And they had a show on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Yeah, how to go?
Speaker 6 (02:49):
Oh it went so great. That stage is awesome. Wildflower
Festival is just it's always great every single year. I
felt bad they had to cut it a little short
yesterday because of the severe storms in the area. But
it was still fun and a lot of people came out.
Amber and her dad stopped by. I was great to
see them. Janito was there anyway. I'm not going to
list off everyone, but a lot of people came out
(03:10):
really sweet and it was a really fun show.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Hell, yes, that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Than you.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
So I went to a birthday party.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
I have a good friend of mine turned forty and
so her partner through a big birthday shindig for her
hang out forty year olds. Yeah that's insane and it's
so young, right, Yeah, it's like I don't even know
anybody under fifty besides KT and Christina. So they had
this big birthday extravaganza and I went to it, and
(03:38):
you know, it was some of my closest friends, and
then a bunch of other friends that I'm friends with
but not quite as close, and then just people that
live in the neighborhood.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
All these different people who are the neighborhood people. He said,
you don't like what were their names?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
No, No, I like them all.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
And so I had something happen to me that I
can only imagine is happening to you about every seventeen minutes, skin, and.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
That is I'm having a good time.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
This is going got a drink in my hand, and
I'm suddenly talking to two friends of mine that I
know pretty well that are good dudes, and they go, man, how.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
About that draft? It is so fixed? And I was like, oh,
yeah right.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
And then so I started trying to talk about there
because because it's fixed, because there's no way they traded,
they got the number one pick, so the league said, yeah,
you can have the number one.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
And it was I was like, oh, y'all are doing
a bit right.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
You're doing a combo bit on me, And they were
like very serious, and I was like, well, some here,
let me.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I'll give you a little backstory here. Here's kind of
how we got here here, this is why the trade happened,
YadA YadA.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
And they're like, ahha, but it's fixed though, And I
couldn't say anything. Yeah, there was nothing I could say.
And I keep running into people that are like, they
don't want to hear anything else about it. They are
one hund convinced that the NBA lottery is fixed, and
that's why the Mavericks sent Luca to La.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
Here's how I have been dealing with that. Sitting at
the bar town the brewery you and I are partners
in on Friday night, a guy that I liked very
much sat up next to me and went into it's fixed.
I said, tell me how, We're not going to continue
with this conversation until you can explain to me how
it worked.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Now it's fixed.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Every time I start going down that road because I
bring up what we brought up on the show, the
Athletic had magicians and all different sorts of people look
at it, and I don't know how they could possibly
fix it.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
They go, because remember when the envelope was frozen. Yep,
totally different.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Explain to me how it's fixed, all right, Yeah, and
then they can't just go man, just you spend all
your time figuring out how it's fixed, and then get
back to me and you can convince me.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Then the logic on why it would happen mm hmm,
like that makes more sense than the specifics of how
it would happen.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
Absolutely, yeah, Skin mentioning Kyrie getting hurt is the big
one for me. It's like, yeah, obviously Kyrie wouldn't get
that hurt for us to get in that position.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
For us, I seriously think you should come back with
Marjorie Taylor. Green told the Jewish Nation to shoot their
space laser into Kyrie's knee to ensure that he would
have the a yel.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
To go ahead and finish the deal. Could it have
been hacked? I mean it's yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
And as soon as you start throwing down that road,
but it was like, these are friends of mine that
I like, you know, and I'm like, but I couldn't.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I just couldn't stop it.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
It was like two freight trains that were out of
control that could not be stopped. I couldn't reel it back.
We couldn't have a real conversation.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
You just got to commit to being willing to not
be liked, you know, because you just got to go.
I don't believe anything you're saying right now, and I'm
unwilling to have this conversation and I don't care what
it does to the rest of the evening.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
And they're like, what a sure?
Speaker 5 (06:37):
Yeah, And You're like, man, I love to drink, So
I'm gonna walk over here and drink and have a
better conversation right.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Out with Tom Cruise.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Do you think I need to By the way, I
think I'll be hanging out with Tom Cruise on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Let's go. I don't know for sure, bring him here,
they've reached. I wouldn't get off on floor three and
see all that red. I don't know if he's going
to get in my car or anything. What's this?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Man?
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Why does your car smell like that? Tom Cruise? So
I don't but there is a chance that Tom Cruise
and I have very soon become best friends. And I
don't know how it's going to change my life, but
I'm excited to see. I'm willing to be a scientologist now,
so I'm going I'm willing to do some research on that.
All right, we're off and running. It is a Monday.
We've got a great show planned for you. We've got sports,

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
