“If Kevin Durant joins the Spurs, are we looking at the next unstoppable dynasty—or just another NBA fever dream?”In this sizzling episode of The Ben and Skin Show, hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray serve up a full plate of sports, satire, and sizzling hot takes—starting with a mouthwatering shoutout to Twisted Root Burger Company and ending with a deep dive into the NBA’s most tantalizing trade rumors.The crew kicks things off with a hilarious, chef-style breakdown of burger customization (“Put me an onion on that hoe. Yes, chef!”), before pivoting to a controversial headline: the Texas Rangers remain the only MLB team without a Pride Night. KT’s reaction? Priceless. “Why did y’all make me the gay one?” he jokes, pointing out the awkwardness of using a player’s photo in the coverage.From there, it’s all about hoops. Bill Simmons’ spicy take that Kevin Durant might already be headed to San Antonio sparks a passionate debate. Could KD and Wemby form the league’s most terrifying duo? Would the Spurs really keep the No. 2 pick and still land Durant? And how does this all compare to the Mavericks’ infamous Luka trade?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
And Skin Show ninety seven point one The Eagle. This
(00:02):
segment is brought to you by a twisted root Berger.
Come man, so good, Ben. You know they got those
build your Own Burgers and they've gone in there. They've
revamped their mini. They spent spent six months working on
this and everything is better. But it was already kick ass.
And now they've got the whole build your own Burgers.
You can go in there and do your own damn thing.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Right.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
You just say, I want bacon on mine, yes, Chef,
I want mayonnaise on mine, Yes, Chef.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Make sure you butter them buns.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Yes, Chef, me an onion on that whole, yes, chef,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Just make it what you want. That's the way I
like it, Ben, yep Chef. There's locations all over the Metroplex,
like Bedford, Arlington, Carrollton, cop Hell, Deep Bet and they're
all over the damn place. It is delicious. See for yourself.
It is the twisted and I mean twisted root Burger Company.
But right now it's time for this.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Now it's cool around the sports KTD twins.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Ass ah the sports.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Yes, thank you real quick Rangers News, I just sent
you guys a picture on your phone. It's also the
fourth Star Telegram and that little newsletter and it says
Texas Rangers Pride Night. Texas Rangers are again only MLB
team not to participate. Why the other twenty nine MLB
teams suppus the Stars, Wings, and Mavericks all hold special
Pride nights for fans. But above it is a picture
(01:25):
of Alejandro Osuna, and I'm like, he's gotta be going,
why did y'all make me the gay one? I just
put the owner, a picture of the owners on there,
or put a picture of the ballpark or the Rangers logo.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Don't put a player who's probably straight on top of that.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
No, aren't they saying that because he's straight, he's on
board with them not having pride.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
No, are they gonna have an extra hetero night?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
They should? It is don't just have another dog night?
And the dog's crap everywhere.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
It is the weird thing that heteros don't have to
have that their whole identity, and for some reason, homosexual
people have to. That just has to be such a
big part of their identity that they have to talk about.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
All the damn time.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
It's like that I'm just some other things besides my
sex life, you know, like the theater.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Or whatever else I might be into.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Well. Speaking of sex life and theater, Bill Simmons, yep,
I didn't pull audio. I don't like his voice. He
said this on his podcast, that quote. I wouldn't be
surprised if Kevin Durant to the Spurs is done already
and they just haven't announced it, Like they've agreed on
the specifics and they'll just announce it the week of
(02:42):
the draft. It's like something to just kind of fly
over the fly under the radar there.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Okay, I do want to ask you this again. If
you're KD and he's thirty six, he's about to be
thirty seven when the season seven turn at this point,
you probably you got to look. You got to see
which team can actually absorb my massive contract and still
be good mm hm.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
And so you got to find that.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Team that can absorb your huge, massive contract and still
go be a contender, because you really just want to
try to contend before you're out right.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Yeah, So is that the best bet?
Speaker 1 (03:17):
I think so for him, Like if he were to
go there, I think they're instantly contenders.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
I go back to that moment.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
It was Wimby's rookie year, and it was when you
know KD and Booker and.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Homie I'm blanket on Homie's name of the.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Guard Bradley Bloll got together and there was all those
hope for him. And it was early in the season
and San Antonio went and beat Phoenix in Phoenix and
Phoenix was down by one possession and KD had the
ball and Wimby was just on the strong side of
the floor and he just couldn't get a good shot off,
and it was just it was amazing to watch. I
was like, this guy's changing the game that much already,
(03:58):
He's going to no one's ever been this big and
that mobile.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
It's just bonkers how much ground he can cover.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
And so for a guy like KD, and he doesn't
want to do heavy lifting, right, he wants to be
like what Lebron is with Luca, Like I can take
over a game, but you don't need me every game.
And so if you look at what they have, and
also they have the assets to where they can do
a deal with Phoenix, get Kevin Durant and also keep
the number two pick.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
That's what his point was, that it'd be cheaper to
get Katie than Joannis, and I agree because there's a
seven Yeah, there's a seven year age difference.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Now, if I think they'd be unbeatable, I think Giannis
and Wenby together is just flat out unbeatable. You have
to give the number two pick, probably because he's he's
a current MVP.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Which rather way can anyone name the name of the
number two pick.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
It's just so hard to have these discussions about getting
mad about the Mavericks all over again for how little
they got for Luca.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Yeah, but look at it this way. God, I think
it's such a little return.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
They can even it out when we give him Gafford.
What we could give them Gafford and they could even
back out and they could just have a lopside of
trade back our way.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Oh are you saying, give me perfect gaff in a
perfect world. I'm not sure I understand what you.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
For Austin Reeves or something like that, to where they
pay you.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Yeah, I mean, I mean sure, bend over Rob Polenka,
That's what I would do.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Here's what uh wait, here's the thing is again we're
doing alternate universe stuff. But the simple fact of the
matter is if the trade wasn't made, they wouldn't have
Cooper flag. Now again, you can say that everyone gets
so upset, and it's like, I'm not saying this to
give Nico credit or take credit away or whatever. That
doesn't matter. That's a totally different conversation. However, you could
(05:45):
say unequivocally, if they didn't make that trade, they wouldn't
have Anthony Davis, Max Christy Cooper flag in a first
round pick, for sure. And and I would think most
basketball people would probably make that swap.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
No one's ready to hear that until they see Cooper
Flag do good things.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
That's ready for that. That's not giving anybody, got it.
That's just the byproduct all what happened.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
All these things can exist simultaneously.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
It's the worst trade in the history of sports to
get that little of her return.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
And then you hear these other rumors.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Oh well, Katie's forty three, but they're still gonna get this,
this and this for you know, We're like, oh my god,
it's frustrating, frustratate.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Anyways, we've moved on. But we moved on. It's all.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
We've moved on, I think, and maybe we'll get to
Dion later, we tease that, but maybe we'll get to
Deon later. But but yeah, I would. I think that
seems like it makes a lot of sense that Kevin
Durant will be a Spur and man, they're going to
be good.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
All right, very nice. Yep, Go Rangers, Go Rangers.
