The Game You Didn't Know You Needed

Can you name a movie just by hearing a few seconds of audio—no visuals, no context, just vibes?In this laugh-out-loud episode of The Ben and Skin Show on 97.1 The Eagle, the crew dives into a hilariously relatable late-night game Skin’s wife invented on the fly: “Guess That Movie by Sound Alone.” What started as a casual scroll through the cable guide turned into a full-blown cinematic guessing challenge that had Skin shouting, “Is that The Player?!” and nailing it.Ben Rogers and Jeff “Skin” Wade wax nostalgic about the joys of old-school cable TV and the underrated thrill of channel surfing.Kevin “KT” Turner and Krystina Ray defend the modern streaming life, sparking a hilarious generational debate about guides, apps, and whether Hulu Live counts as “real TV.”Skin’s uncanny ability to identify Ghostbusters II just from Bill Murray and Sigourney Weaver’s voices is both impressive and absurd.The team riffs on the absurdity of pay-per-view listings, including a few… very adult titles that sneak into the conversation.

one point one the Eagle.

Speaker 3 (00:35):

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Another edition of things Skin is traffic.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
All right, So we've talked about this before. Me and
Ben have cable television. I mean, Ben's got satellite, but
it's the same thing. You know, one comes underground, the
other ones in the satellite. All right, you do not right?
KT YouTube TV guy?

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Okay, what do you have, Christina? We have Hulu TV.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Hulu TV, So y'all don't have U Verse or nothing
like that. Nope, all right, what is the main reason
Ben that you think that we continue to have that
old school style of television and not cut the cord.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
Uh, just because we're old and we kind of are
stuck in our ways.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
Yes, and that specifically leads to scrolling through the menu. Yeah,
laying in bed and scrolling through the menu. There is
a guide and you can stop on a movie and
watch the movie. You can go channel channel, you can
pull up the guide and start scrolling through it.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
I love that experience.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Last night, me and my wife realized we were all
caught up on your friends and neighbors. We thought we
had another episode to watch.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
We do not.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
So she started scrolling through the guide and I immediately
put my head on the pillow and closed my eyes.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
She's like, oh, you're going to bed. Huh. It's like yep.
She goes, okay, and then she waited a second.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
She goes, oh, see if you can guess what movie
this is by just listening to it.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Oh, that's awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
It is the best game I've ever played in my
entire life.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
That's great. We play that on the show. It is
so much fun.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
And so she would, you know, turn it on there
and then and the other thing too, is you start
to realize, man, here's a lot of movies don't have
a lot of dialogue going on. I'm listening to a
guy just rooting around through stuff with music playing for
about a minute and a half. So then we started
doing clues. First clue what year did it come out?

(02:25):
And then I actually got a movie because she told
me what year it came out. It's like, wait a minute,
is that the player?

Speaker 2 (02:32):
And it was nice?

Speaker 1 (02:34):
But it is so much fun and you can't do
this if you cut the cord right, you know.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
How because we have a guy. YouTube TV has a
guide does oh it does?

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yeah, it depends how many channels you want to buy,
like which package you get everything you need. So if
you guys buy HBO, you just get Max, right, you
don't get like all the Agbo chan you get the app,
which is now each box.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
They changed it back from Max to HBO, so you.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Can scroll through multiple hbos things that are but they're streaming.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
You'd have to pull it separate app.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Yeah, okay, so you would have to pull up a
movie and then get back out of the movie.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
But again, you when you're scrolling through, I mean there's
the you know, all the channels, you know, Comedy Central
and all those that just have movies going on at
night amc is.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
I was probably I bet I was hitting at about
a forty percent rate.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Wow. I felt pretty good about it. And it's just
going through all the movie channels.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Yeah, and if she didn't, she kind of made a
couple of decisions like, I don't think you know what
this is, so I'm not going to fire it up.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Uh, we didn't do pay per view, but I think
they have all the Sarah Palin movies still, don't they that?

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (03:42):
But I sat there and I thought to myself, oh, look,
look right there, Katie's got. We probably don't have any
movie channels here at Direct TV though, right, yeah?

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Of course do we have HBO up here at Heart
during daytime though? Good Burger is on? Yeah, you got
I think you gotta do it with movies.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
I don't think you do it with Okay, here's House Hunters,
Maad Santa too. Oh incredible, though. Do you know what
the first one I got though? And I was really
proud of myself that the one that made her decide
to do it Ghostbusters too. Oh wow, that was probably
I didn't get it. I didn't ask her the year
because I got it I.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
Just stumbled across that the other night and watched about
thirty minutes of it.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
It was not good. It was the sequel, not the first.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Here's how I knew, because I know the I know
the original inside out, and I immediately recognized Bill Murray's voice.
Then I immediately recognized Sigourney Weaver's voice, but I did
not recognize the dialogue.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
I go is like Ghostbusters two. Yeah, because yeah, you
got it.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
There it is.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
I love your family. It's incredible that one. Let's play
it on the show. Mom tries anal with yep, yep.
All right.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
Those are dirty movies, all right? Coming up next in
the Hollywood Shuffle. Speaking of moody movies, Nick Kge just
playing John Madden in one.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Seriously. We'll discuss that once again next
