“Why are people so bold behind a keyboard but timid in real life?”
That’s the question that kicks off this hilariously unfiltered episode of The Ben and Skin Show on 97.1 The Eagle — and it only gets wilder from there.Join Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray as they dive headfirst into a chaotic blend of pop culture, sports, and the absurdity of modern life. From alligators born without tails to Kyrie Irving’s rap debut, this episode is packed with unexpected twists and laugh-out-loud moments.The crew tiptoes around the explosive updates with a mix of shock, satire, and “can-we-even-say-this-on-air?” energy. KT nearly gets himself banned from radio just talking about it.Ben shares a jaw-dropping story about a social media troll who attacked a charity post — and the surprising truth behind their real-life persona.“You can’t whisper what Diddy’s doing, but you can grab their ass and go, ‘You following that Diddy?’” — a line that had the whole studio in stitches.

We got the Hollywood Shuffle coming up here momentarily. Updates
on the Diddy trial, And would you guys say that
just the way to characterize those updates is that they're shocking.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
I would say.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
That whatever is happening in the Diddy trial will get
KT banned from radio. Yeah, Like it's dangerous to even
talk about, right, You can't even think about it. The
thought police will shut you down. Like in a corporate setting,
even having small talk about it could result in you
never working.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
I think that's a whole other thing though, I think
because it's under this like statute of pop culture and
current events. So you can talk about disgusting stuff in
the office as long as it's under the guise of
you just can't. Yeah, it's under the disguise that I'm
just talking about the news in the break room.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
You just can't whisper it to a fellow employee of
the different sex without them looking while touching her butt.
No or his his right because nature of the case,
someone's making it. They they're big and they're not facing.
You can't walk up behind him and whisper some of
the stuff that Diddy was doing. You can, so you
can't due no, no, no, you can't whisper what Diddy's doing.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
But you can grab their ass and go you follow that.
I don't think you can do that. You can.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
It's the disguised news that these are the things you
can't do.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
We're in radio, we talk about current events in the news,
all right.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I want to talk about something before we get going
here right off the rip, and that is online gangsters.
People who bow up online for no reason. It's about wangsters,
show man. I find it so shocking, Like every once
in a while, idiot. We'll meet somebody who we've interacted
(03:43):
with online and in person they're so amazingly timid, like
they can't even make eye contact with you, and they're
staring at their feet and they're mumbling they have no confidence.
But online, boy, they are a hammer. And that's when
you grab their ass and tell them the details of
the Diddy trial. I just don't understand the online warrior.
And so my wife works for this charity and it's
(04:06):
a charity that helps people that are struggling with unexpected,
you know, financial chaos, and it kind of helps them
learn how to get their financial life back in order.
And you know, it's people who you know, have have
kiddos and there suddenly find themselves struggling and they can't
buy groceries or something like that, and they not only
(04:28):
help them in that moment, but then they help them
along their way and give them financial guidance and like
teach them how to catch fish as opposed to just
giving them a fish. Right.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Yeah, it's a really cool charity that she's involved in.
And they stumbled.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Across somebody who was a school teacher who's a current
school teacher here in the Metroplex, and the teacher had
just reached out to the charity and had said something like, Hey,
we're looking to.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
I need to get a new refrigerator. Our refrigerator broke.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Single mom, three kids, teacher and and she had been
since the refrigerator was broken. They were using a an
ice chest to just keep all their stuff.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
In and then it was hard to maintain.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
And she was just like, hey, if you guys could
just you know, because that's what the charity does. They're
there for people to reach out and see if they
can help in their times of crisis. And so my
wife had posted about it on social media and said, hey,
there's a teacher in our community.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
This is the hardship Da da.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
And we just want to see if anybody's interested in
donating to this. And we're gonna we're gonna go buy
a refrigerator and have it delivered and da da dah,
and some guy just started killing him on there, just
going well, how did the teacher get in that situation?
Like what I don't understand, Like, how do you get
in a situation where you don't have a working refrigerator
in can't do we know the track record of this teacher.
(05:46):
Do we know the history of this teacher? Does anybody
know of the teachers using drugs? Like it was all out.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Like in.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
My wife's like, I don't do I She responded a
couple of times like don't respond. Yeah, do not engage
with people like that. I've actually gone back to blocking people.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
It's so good.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Yeah, And the main reason I used to not block
people is because Twitter was different. Twitter you could actually
go back and forth, you know. Now it's just such,
it's gone through changes to make it worse. I'm like,
there's really no downside to blocking because there's no discourse anymore. Yeah,
it's also one sided. Just you know, I'll just I
(06:27):
just remove it from my feed. And I don't even
really use Twitter near as much as I used to,
So if I just see one little thing, I just
block and move on because it's the format has changed,
the process has changed. But I'm convinced that we're the
state of the world now and the evolution of social media,
that they're really unless you know that person and know
(06:50):
a little bit about them and have had some exchanges
with them before, there's no benefit in going back and
forth anymore on anything.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
No, there's no bene. Do you guys have a policy
for to mute? But I don't really do that anymore. Yeah,
so it's just it's different now. I just don't really. Yeah,
I'm just honored as much. Well yeah, God, that's a blessing.
That's a huge blessing. I think it.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
I think it's I understand that perspective, and I don't
disagree that, but I do think it's sad that what
Twitter used to be, which I liked, I even liked,
you know, disagreeing with people, that's gone.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Oh that world is so gone.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
It's like I don't know where it comes back, but
I do, and I miss some of that stuff that
used to be really fun.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
But yeah, now everyone has to find at least one
negative thing to say about. Like it could be anything
like just a puppy going down a slide. Someone will say, Oh,
I can't believe you, as a dog owner would let
your dog go down that, right, Like just.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Yeah, it's it's it's NonStop. Anyways.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Well, I hope I hope Cat is unfazed because she's
doing good work there. Yeah, she's working for a great
cause and they're they're helping people, and I think it's great.
And I told her just to absolutely ignore it. Yea, yeah,
we'll find out. We'll get to the bucket on the
show all right, coming up in just over three minutes,
where you're gonna take us in things. Skin is tracking,
all right. I saw a cool story today about something
(08:08):
that the Mavericks are dealing with, and it's gonna lead
to a bigger discussion about what is cool about the
DFW
Did you guys know that there is this thing that
happens to some alligators and they're born without a tail?
