"How do cameramen survive a 6-hour baseball game without peeing?"That’s just one of the many absurd, hilarious, and oddly profound questions raised in this wild ride of an episode of The Ben and Skin Show, featuring your favorite crew: Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina “K-Ray” Ray.This episode dives into the chaos of the Sports Equinox, where five major sports collided in one night—and the crown jewel was an 18-inning World Series marathon that ended at 2 a.m. The crew breaks down the madness, from Shohei Ohtani’s heroics to Freddie Freeman’s walk-off, and the existential crisis of watching a game that outlasts your will to stay awake.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Reach down and grab a couple of plumb tomatoes. It's
time for sports catch up.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Catch up on sports, Sports catchup two, catch up on sport.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
I did not plan this to be on the show,
but when things got crazy last night, I was like, okay,
there's a lot of stuff happening here. Last night was
the Sports Equinox?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Oh yeah, because four things were happening or something.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
And if you want to add MLS to that, five
oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
So but yeah, five sports all at once right there,
of the main four or five sports, if you want
to throw MLS in that.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
So the Sports Equinox brought us Game three of the
World Series, and the score is five to four, and
about the seventh inning and Shoeo Tani hits his second
home run of the night to tie the game at five. So,
as I kind of am crawling into bed, we're about
the tenth or eleventh inning, and I'm like, okay, let's
(00:59):
see how how long this will go. What time is
it we're getting We're getting around eleven, you know, and
I'm you know what, I'm about tuckered out by then.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
I had enough. I haven't made it home from the
mav game yet. Yeah, I've imagine that.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Yeah, right, So it's like little that I know there's
a whole other game to be played. So the game
is going on and on, and I'm just watching it
in bed, and I'm looking at my phone and scrolling Twitter,
and I'm just enjoying it because everyone is watching this
together on Twitter. We don't have moments like this anymore, right,
we don't ever see like you you don't know. Twitter's crazy.
The algorithm is crazy. And by the way, in six
(01:34):
weeks it's going to change again. It's going to change
to like where likes and retweets don't matter. It's all
about growk. So like Twitter's about to be way different.
So last night might have been the last time.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
It's all for one. Here we are and we're.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
All making jokes about this game that continues to go
and go and go and go. And it went eighteen
innings and the Dodgers won six to five on a
walk off home run by Freddy Freeman. But there's a
few things I'd like to say about it. But first
I'd like to play some audio. Here's Joe Davis and
John Smoltz. You know, uh, they have the organist at
(02:09):
the at the Dodgers Stadium famously had it for years
and never get rid of it.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
This is late in the game here.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
They do they have a backup organist? Or is this
poor god had to do the whole Peter. Peter doesn't
stop the whole game. His fingers just going forever. Yeah,
strong fingers, Hope.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Sir as Joe Davis, who's actually the play by play
announcer like regularly for the Dodgers, but he's also the
Fox number one announcer.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
So okay, it's kind of fun.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
We're having fun Fox going to break and coming back
there playing like songs that are about tomorrow or just
like songs that are like we're still going type theme songs.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
I don't have any at the top of my head.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
But the return cuts were all top and bumpers were
all good going outside.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
I do love that bit too, and I like when
they tie those into the community somehow as well.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
One of the funniest tweets I saw last night was
someone who said, this game is nearing an inning count
that will ultimately be too old for Leonardo DiCaprio.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
That's funny, that's great, that's really good.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
That's really pretty good.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Wow. I was really enjoying the pitchers too, because you know,
pitcher's gonna get hurt. The guy who threw a complete
game for the Dodgers in Game one two days ago
was having to warm up in the seventeenth inning because
they were out of pitchers, Like it was getting like
they were run out of guys. There's a guy who
(03:41):
pitched for like a reliever. He pitched like four or
five innings last night, and he kept it a tie
game for the Dodgers. And I think he had thrown
forty pitches of the most he'd ever thrown in a game,
and he had to throw.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Like eighty last night, to which I say, what a
bunch of peas.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
You guys can throw more than Like, I know, you
don't want to hurt anyone's it's the playoffs. Otani starts tonight,
but then out John Smoltz is not I you know,
we all everyone hated him here because everyone thought he
was being hard on the Rangers.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
I don't really have an opinion on John Smoltz, but
I just started to think about all these poor people,
including cameramen, who were cutting to weird stuff at times
because it was a six hour and forty minute game.
So you have these people who can't leave their post.
How are they gonna whiz? Do they have time to
get up and go or there some type of rotation
with all the cameramen to make this happen. So they
(04:31):
had a few, like bad cuts. I'm sure the director
in the truck was probably well. And then I was
like worried about John Smoltz saying something a little crazy,
like like he did twenty years ago when he compared
beast Reality to gay marriage.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
I was like, is he gonna do that again?
Speaker 3 (04:45):
You got to realize on those cameramen, they've so what
the game started at seven, They've been there since one.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Yeah, they live there.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
They don't just show up and walk behind a camera.
They're there all day. I think there's a pea bucket
kid that runs around.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Do you need to have you ever a night?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
What a horrible job kid, You're an eate break little
of the Dodgers have paid for that too.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
Yeah, dude, I can't get into this just because I
hate the Dodgers. I hate how out of balance baseball
is their payroll if you count the deferred money to
show heyo Tony first of all, who's the.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Best player in the history of baseball? Show?
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Heyo, Tony, He's gonna play for you for free. Just
defer his money into the future. It won't even impact
your cap.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Your cap?
Speaker 5 (05:25):
Who is the best player the prospect to come along
in a million years?
Speaker 4 (05:28):
This? What's his name? The picture you were just talking about? Sasaki?
Oh yeah, Yamamoto, Yamamoto.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Let's go get him. Let's who else is out there? Oh,
Freddy Freeman, an MVP candidate. Why don't you just come
to our spare first basement. It's an embarrassment of riches.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Who cares?
Speaker 1 (05:47):
It's more corrupt to me than any of the NBA
circumventing the cap conversation. Really, the NBA gambling stuff, I
really don't care about it too much, honestly, Like that's
more wrong.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
I mean, I'm with you. It looks like the a's
pay roll is eighty million dollars. How are they in
a league with a team with a four hundred and
twelve million dollars payroll?
Speaker 4 (06:05):
How does that make sense to anybody? Yeah, apparently they're
not capitalism.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
It was fun and the game ended at two am,
and I stayed up for it. Oh wow, you guys,
it was so good. That's what people want with their
World Series games, right, you want it to be close
and lasting that long and last note, the guy who
sang the national anthem was Skins guy Brad Paisley. Oh hey,
that's the third time he sang a national anthem for
a World Series game.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
And all of them went to extra innings and cold
maybe something to that.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Okay, coming up next to Christina, where are you gonna
take us in the cookie jar?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Something big is here in Dallas and I got a
chance to check it out over the weekend.
Reach down and grab a couple of plumb tomatoes. It's
time for sports catch up.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Catch up on sports, Sports catchup two, catch up on sport.
