“Did they really just call him ‘The Girthquake’… to his face?”In this unforgettable episode of The Ben and Skin Show, the crew—Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray—dives headfirst into the uncomfortable chat between the G-Bag Nation and Rowdy Tellez. KT brings the heat with a brilliantly edited AI reenactment of the now-infamous interview, complete with awkward pauses, fat jokes gone wrong, and the birth of a nickname no one asked for: The Girthquake. From brisket sandwiches to “belly bandits,” the segment walks the tightrope between comedy and catastrophe—and the fallout is just as juicy.

Irish beef stew. Are you kidding me, Ristine freaking million?
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I'm might ask you a ton of dumb for a
second because I said I was getting.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Angry, But now you're getting a little heated beef brisk it,
get off a roast beef.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Now I go home and still watch more, you know
after hours?
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Yes, I know.
Speaker 4 (00:16):
You don't tell me what I do and what I
don't don't tell me.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
I watched the damn gaye mongol beef. Why are you
arguing with me on about this cod? You make it
a freaking parable pop about this stuff? Do you see
where I'm going with this beef? What's for me?
Speaker 4 (00:31):
So about three weeks ago, our friends of ours over
at another station the fan took on the g Bag Nation.
They were having an interview with Rowdy tells he is
the Rangers first baseman who is huge. He's like six
four two seventy five or something. Uh, and they're having
him on and uh. The interview didn't go well. In fact,
I found some clips of it online and then I
(00:51):
was like, you know what, I could probably see what
they said and find a way to transcribe it, and
I did so Rowdy will be the country guy that
you you here here and the AI voice. It's just
the cast of the g bag nation asking him questions.
And here's how that interview went two or three weeks ago.
Six Oh no, yeah, I plug it was the one. Yeah,
well I'm ready.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
Now here we go.
Speaker 6 (01:13):
We're two hundred and seventy pounds of rowdy tellers joining
us now here on your home of the Rangers. And
a good afternoon, sir, Welcome to Texas. How the hell
are you?
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I'm doing good? Thanks for having me.
Speaker 6 (01:24):
Well, yeah, it is great to have you. And they
say everything is bigger in Texas, So I guess you're
fitting right in? Is that the story?
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I guess?
Speaker 6 (01:32):
So?
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I mean, I'm built more like an offensive lineman than
a first basement, but I guess it works.
Speaker 6 (01:37):
No, seriously, though, how many brisket sandwiches are you in
right now? Had yourself a brisket sando?
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Yet?
Speaker 6 (01:43):
Rowdy?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
No, I live here.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I've lived here for a while, so I've dabbled my
fair share of them.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Right on?
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Can you stop it? See this This is how the
interview starts. Yeah, just like this man, Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
So they're immediately instead of ask him about baseball, they're
just ask him about what it's like to be a
fat guy.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yeah, pretty much. Let's talk food.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Let's not food food news.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
So the second question is how many brisket sandos have
you had?
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Are you in right now?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Are you in? Meaning? Are you eating one right now?
Speaker 4 (02:16):
It's hard to know that. Rowdy's tone changed pretty quickly
in this interview.
Speaker 6 (02:19):
See, I thought I noticed some Texan in your voice.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I should, Hell, it's I don't think it sounds any
different right on.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
I've seen the other nicknames float around. I don't know
if you've heard it. The girthquake.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah, I haven't heard that one, so that's new to me.
But that's kind of funny.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
That's pretty badass, is it because you're from California and
girthie as hell?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yeah? I don't know. I don't know if I like
that one.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
All right, okay, all right? What would be a Rowdy
concession item? Oh, if you got to design it, I
think anything probably with brisket.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I love brisket, so like a good brisket sandwich. Maybe
some some like onion strings on it, like a sweet,
sweet barbecue sauce.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
Okay, Speaking of big guys, kal Rawly is just a sensation.
You've been on the Mariners. What do you make of
this dude.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
He's a really hard worker, good teammate, but he's on
the other team now. So we're gonna we're gonna come
after him, and we're gonna do what we can neutralize
it and just get him out.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
If your job was not hitting absolute bombs about once
a week or so, what do you think you'd be into.
Would you be a minister or something like that?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Probably not that either.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I thought you were gonna go something like along the
fat joke, lying like how you asked me about food.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Oh my bad, hold on air, So I made some
bad it's here. He's actually starts talking over him a
little bit. Okay, I put this in. I had to
BULTI tracked this thing.
Speaker 6 (03:40):
Oh my bad.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Maybe I could taste tester, but I think probably a
hunting guy.
Speaker 6 (03:43):
And Buddy, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make a
fat joke. I just thought you're a.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Oh I'm self deprecating say that I beat you to
dot nick quote. It's all good, Brosky.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
Well you're the man, dude. It's been great catching up
with you, learn more about your story. Best of luck
and Let's do it again next year in surprise Arizona
for spring training.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Oh yeah, for sure, I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
Salute Rosky.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
God.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
I didn't know though this happens. And then about a
week later he goes on the MLB network and he's
doing a show that they have four guys over zoom
terrible quality, and he lets everyone know how he feels
about it.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Why do you let Jock Peterson call you fat? Like
what are we doing? Like you're bigger than him, squash him.
It's a little inside joke.
Speaker 7 (04:28):
You're a big guy too, so you get it. But
you know, we have bigger stomachs and some you know,
the bash Bros or something, I don't know, the belly
bandits whatever you want to call it somebody else. So
if somebody else called me something. I did a radio
show when I first got here and they told me,
basically told me I was fat. And they were like, hey,
you know, if you could eat anything here, what would
it be? And I was like, oh, I don't know whatever.
(04:49):
And they're like, yeah, have you ever had food here?
And I was like, yeah, I believe it or not,
I have I live here And they were like, oh,
you've eat and I was like, yeah, then they called
me the girthquake or something stupid, and.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Did you, Grady, did you feel like they took it
too far there?
Speaker 7 (05:02):
They tried to be funny and they're not.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
They're just not funny.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Oh.
Speaker 7 (05:05):
I just I went full just a motionless person and
was like, hey, guys, this isuff's pretty stupid. So we'll
just full leave that.

series where you go back and do AI audio do
