“If a soccer ball fell from 6,000 feet, would it kill you?” That’s the wild question that kicks off today’s episode of The Ben and Skin Show, and trust us—you won’t believe where this conversation goes. Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive headfirst into the absurdity of setting altitude records for soccer fields suspended by hot air balloons. From physics debates to helmet fashion statements, this segment is packed with hilarious hypotheticals and jaw-dropping logic leaps.

Than giving. It's a bit you.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Know when Evan with I'll show you're gone ruling it
be except for simple we pursuing it toddled out Shaw,
shame through the sewer, dude chilling that day, Eagle.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Yeah, we're doing it. Three your clocking on the dot.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Got a habit for my house. A go stat is
how we're starting to kick ratic. Show that up multiply
like a rabbit. Doun in so out, crank it up,
beat the habit.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
I won't hang out with my friend clocking on the radio,
my hole knowing boy skin in his skin talking on
the radio. It's time to do it.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Sponsor in.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
All there we go, Katie Stein up and all.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Up on our radio. Ah yes ho Lord, welcome everybody.
It's a Thursday.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
It's a game day edition of the world famous Ben
and Skin Show. Cowboys in Detroit to play the Lions tonight.
We'll get you ready for that game and have all
sorts of fun today. All hands on deck, Ben Rogers,
Jeff skin Wade, Kevin kt Turner and Christina, a little
baby corn bread Ray.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
All hands on deck.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
Well, at some point today I'm sure we'll talk a
little Dallas Mavericks basketball as well.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Last night was a lot of fun.
Speaker 5 (01:24):
And I got to ask you, Skin, I wasn't sure
if you came up with this nickname, but for Ryan Nimhardt,
did you come up with Nimby?
Speaker 6 (01:31):
I didn't come up with it, but I've heard that
for a while now. I guess the first person I
heard say it was but I don't think she came.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Up with it. Who came up with that? It's genius.
Speaker 6 (01:41):
Yeah, it's great because Nimby versus Wimby for the next
fifteen years. Yeah, I know, that's the matchup everyone's been
talking about. One is seven eight, the other's five to seven.
It's perfect. Hers all is Wimby.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
That's all is Nimby five eleven. He's five eleven. Yes,
Onnie's getting shorter though on a good day he is
getting shorter. Yeah, all right.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
I sent you guys a picture that I'd like for
you to look up now. It's a picture of you
can't send that man a small soccer field that is
floating up in the sky. It's six thousand feet up
in the sky roughly, and it's attached to a bunch
of I guess hot air balloons or something. And there's
a little miniature soccer field, there's a goal, there's a
bunch of soccer balls out, and it appears that one
(02:23):
or two guys are playing soccer on a field that's
floating almost six thousand feet.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
In the sky.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
And the whole point of this was some guy went
to set a record, all right, He went to go
set a record to see how fat or how high
he could be up in the air to play soccer.
So they float a soccer field up that high, classic record,
And I'm like, why does that record need to be set?
(02:48):
And here, you know, and all the guys who are
playing soccer are wearing parachutes, so in case they fall
over the side of the little.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Tiny field, guy sitting on the corner of it, it's like,
what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Is there a video of this? Yes? Okay, And so
here's the thing.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
If the soccer ball flies off of that little soccer
field and falls six thousand feet, how fast do you
think the soccer ball is going?
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Oh, I'm gonna go pretty fast, right. This is like
in grade school when you drop the egg. Yeah, gravity
it goes faster.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
I don't know how many miles per hour because it's
different with the soccer ball because it's inflated, right.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Yeah, soccer kick.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
If we were on the ground, if one of us
went to kick hit, we would get up to ten
to fifteen miles per hour on a kick and probably
whip it up to about thirty miles per hour, So
we elevate that by.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Six thousand feet.
Speaker 6 (03:43):
Now he's saying, if it's if the ball rolls off
the edge of the field, right, yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
I'm saying, like that's how fast. I'm just to give
you a view of what it's like on the ground.
If we kicked it, it would go about ten to
fifteen miles per hour, so it would be way more
than that, like, way more than that.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
Yeah, But isn't it impacted by the fact that it's inflated.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Yeah, we need to know how much it weighs, right.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yeah, to do the math.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Look, and I was now, we do know, according to
some testimonies in the government that we have seen a
TikTok shaped tic Tac shaped module go thirty two thousand
miles per hour, right and go straight up in the
air vertically.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
But that's because it was the technology to have a
bubble around it and increase its own atmospheric pressure.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
But we know we don't have the wherewithal to make
the things go thirty two thousand miles proper. So what
I'm telling you is the answer to this question that
been asked is between ten miles per hour and thirty
two thousand miles per hour.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I think I've narrowed it down. You guys can take
it from here.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
So I asked AI to figure this out, and they said,
in a vacuum, it would be going roughly four hundred
and twenty miles per hour by the time it fell
six thousand feet.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I'd kill someone.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
However, they said, in the real world roughly seven twenty
miles an hour by the time it gets near the ground.
So someondy and four hundred and twenty miles per hour.
And let's just say that a soccer ball falls directly
on top of your head at seventy miles per hour,
does it kill you?
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Not me, yeah, by some others.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
No, No, no, because you could get hit by a
car at seventy miles per hour and still survive it.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Not likely. No, that's right. I did have a friend
that that happened to. I think it's just a really
jacked up header. Yeah, Yeah, I know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
If it lands directly coming down on you from six
thousand feet, it might like compact your spinal cord too. Yeah,
And so isn't it irresponsible to try to set this record?
How can you be certain there's not somebody out wandering
around camping beneath you. You can't see everything on the
ground six thousand feet below you. Isn't it reckless to
(05:52):
take a soccer ball and drop it from six thousand
feet like I've always wondered, Like you see people doing
irresponsible things on top of buildings, dropping things off the side.
Those things can kill somebody if they land on them.
And even though soccer ball has air in it, I'm
pretty sure that would do a lot of damage if
it landed on top of somebody's head from six thousand
feet at seventy miles per hour.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Go ahead, Well, this is why we should always be
wearing helmets, like Ben has mentioned before, always be wearing.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
If we weren't vain.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
That's the whole reason, because the reality is this, if
we really took our safety seriously, no one would ever
drive a car without wearing a helmet.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
But why did God give us hair. You know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
If you wanted to make sure that there was less
head injuries, everyone in a car would be wearing a
protective helmet. NASCAR racers do it, right, F one racers
do it. Anybody who's driving a car professionally in a
race is wearing a helmet. But we don't do it
because we don't want to mess up our hair. What
was the previous record for playing soccer in the air?
Speaker 1 (06:56):
I have feet?
Speaker 6 (07:00):
What about the guy whose entire industry is building soccer
fields that float in the air.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
He's got a real limited base. It's going to be
a pickleball up.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
Keep reaching out to the guys who are getting beat Okay,
he just beat your record.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I was there. Would you like to rent this field
again and get it up there.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
Higher and defensive of the guys that are always breaking
the soccer altitude record. If you look at the surface
area of the earth and how many people are actually
on it, the percentage that the soccer ball will hit
a person in the head is incredibly low. In the
city or are you in the country, Well, he's they
look got like the middle of a desert or something.
(07:37):
But there could be somebody camping, but he's camp hit
like an innocent girl scout in the head and killer.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
What would you rather be hit by the soccer ball
off the field, a bullet that was just coming down,
someone shot a gun in the air, or the chair
that Morgan Wallin threw off the third floor.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Of that building.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
I'll tell you this, I know definitively, if I'm out
camping in the desert, I'd rather be hitting the head
with a sockercker bald and have some girls scout walk
up and try to get me to buy your damn cookies.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
In the middle, I.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Would rather have gotten hit by the Morgan Walling chair.
And then you could if you see a guy setting
a record for soccer at six ouths, he probably didn't
have a bunch of.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
No you can see the manufacturer of the floating soccer field.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
All right, there you have it. We're off and running.
We got movie news coming up. We'll have a little sports,
little music news. We'll cuss the cowboys. We got an
audio bubble bath. But coming up next we're going to
take us in things. Skin is tracking the death of
a legend, and you've all heard his work
Than giving. It's a bit you.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Know when Evan with I'll show you're gone ruling it
be except for simple we pursuing it toddled out Shaw,
shame through the sewer, dude chilling that day, Eagle.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Yeah, we're doing it. Three your clocking on the dot.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Got a habit for my house. A go stat is
how we're starting to kick ratic. Show that up multiply
like a rabbit. Doun in so out, crank it up,
beat the habit.

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.
