"What happens when two absurd alter egos hijack a sports show and turn it into a buffet of chaos, comedy, and confessions?"In this laugh-out-loud episode of The Ben and Skin Show, hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and the ever-iconic Krystina Ray celebrate the 10-year anniversary of one of the most outrageous bits in show history: Mosquito and the Hulk. What started as a parody of a sports show turned into a full-blown fake radio experience—complete with food metaphors, Hulk roars, and a Rams blogger who had no idea what he was walking into.

Wow, they're celebrating their tent year anniversary, are they?

Speaker 3 (00:32):
And I have the very first edition of Mosquito and
the Hulk, the fake radio show that we've done on
the show for many years. Your guest, Ryan van Bibber.
Ryan van Bibber is a RAMS blogger. Sounds like a
very fun guy. But this is the first time we
broke out Mosquito and the Hulk from ten years ago.
And here's the beauty of this. We don't even really

(00:53):
need to set it up too much because this is
the debut anyway. So do they almost like you're listening
to it for the first time? Yeah, here we go.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
I've been grab a plate, need some sports, and hey,
everyone's very excited about the Dallas Cowboys being out there
at Oxtard, California, the whole. The great thing about it,
it's dual practice with the Saint Louis Rams. They're out
there joining us from the SB nation. He's a Rams writer.
It's Ryan van Bimber.

Speaker 4 (01:18):

Super excited to have you in the midday Sports Buffet.
And let's get it going right from the start. Grab
a plate, let's talk some sports hook. It's time for
the appetizer. Where do we want to take Ryan from
the jump?

Speaker 7 (01:34):
Dudes, I just want to know, like, how do the

Speaker 2 (01:50):
I heard you making some noise over there with Jeff
for dinner last night, big boy.

Speaker 7 (01:54):
Yeah night, got on the grill to some chicken breasts.
He was very delicious and some veggie. He's trying to
stay on this day.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Hey, you're doing good on that diet too. I'm starting
to remember what's happening now. So Mosquito and Hulk took
on a life of their own. But originally this was
about the Sports buff show in Austin. Yes, this was
about the stupidity of having a show based on sports
food and you're eating at lunch and everything we do
is somehow tied into food. So of course if it's

(02:22):
the Sports Buffet, there's a super huge fat guy on
the show.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Once, before this even happened, we were joking around at
the Sports Buffet in Austin and just.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
Okay, let's do our own sports buffet.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Hey, you're doing good on that diet too, got up there,
worked over that green egg.

Speaker 7 (02:36):
Right?

Speaker 4 (02:36):
Have you ever had anything on a greed egg?

Speaker 6 (02:38):
I have quite a bit.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
You're actually with your diet. You lose a little weight,
looks like you're down. How much waiting have you lost?
Bubba total?

Speaker 4 (02:47):
What are you down to?

Speaker 1 (02:48):
About? Six fifteen?

Speaker 4 (02:50):
Unbelievable? Shag it up his diet? Right? You got any
big boys in your posse?

Speaker 1 (02:55):
I do not.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
You need to get out the big boys, don't wait participate.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
That's right, that's what we say here at the midday
Sports Buffet, right, wy don't you grab yourself a plate
and step on.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
Up for the maid course?

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Are you guys in say Louis worried that you're gonna
lose your rabs to Los Angeles?

Speaker 6 (03:14):
Yeah, there's a lot of tension on that front right now.
And it certainly looks like the owner is, uh, the
owner is ready to go.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
All right, let's where you're back to food.

Speaker 7 (03:24):
You only have one food forever, or you're gonna have hamburgers.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
From where the water? And would you putting on him
be much surprising? Would you put more?

Speaker 4 (03:35):
He said?

Speaker 1 (03:35):
Home? Baby? He said you can't cook on the egg.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
You know you ain't cooking you And he said you
can't go on the egg. Oh he got in the trap.
Now right, what are you gonna do?

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Learn?

Speaker 6 (03:51):
I'll take a class before I go out there.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
That's stupid. They don't teach classes on deserted islands. What
do you think about you, bubba? What would be your
deserted island meal?

Speaker 7 (03:59):
For spend a lot of time thinking about this for real.
For me, it had to be pizza rolls, not pizzas,
but pizza.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
Rolls rolls like like right out of a bikewave.

Speaker 8 (04:09):
I know it's cooogar him in the microwave. You can't.
You can't you treat yourself. You're cheating yourself. You make
him a microwave. Get too savvy. You got to make
them in like a tota oven toasta other.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
Have you ever had pizza rolls ride? Oh yeah, definitely, Genos?
What's your favorite?

Speaker 3 (04:24):

Speaker 6 (04:25):
It's been a while since I've had the pizza roles.
To be honest with you, not.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
Like a poser to me.

Speaker 6 (04:29):
Come lot.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
Are you a pizza old guy or not?

Speaker 6 (04:31):
Rick, I'm not a pizza old guy anymore.

It's been a while, man, A lot of disappointment here
at the mid day sports buffet.

Speaker 7 (04:39):
Bah bah you scoring good on the sports and scoring
bad on the food.

Unfortunately the NFL takes all away all your NFL takes
so much time it's hard to get in some eating.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
But are you so busy doing you.

Speaker 6 (04:56):
Know, everything from the Rams moving to Los Angeles I'm
Brandy in court, everything in between.

Speaker 7 (05:02):
You write one story, they move it or they ain't.
And then you see Tom Brady with the weird picture
and you've done. You go eat some pizza broths. You
need your overthinging it.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Watch out, Rick, you're the vice grip of Bubba the Hope.
When you hear that, you know you're trapped to the
big days porch, Buffet, the Skido, bike, the Scato and
Bubba though Hope. I say we move on out of
some dessert. Let's get a delicious dessert to finish off

(05:31):
our sports conversation.

the Rams or what I.

Speaker 6 (05:36):

behind that line?

but you know, for me everybody, I mean, you play
ball and I was like, nah, but I looked like
I'd be an offensive lineman because I'm big and whatnot.
