6 minutes

What do you do when a Mexican Navy ship crashes into the Brooklyn Bridge—and it looks more like a floating fiesta than a military vessel?In this segment of The Ben and Skin Show, Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray—dive into one of the strangest news stories of the week: a Mexican Navy ship, complete with string lights and dangling cadets, loses power and collides with one of New York’s most iconic landmarks.With 277 people aboard, the ship lost power and drifted into the Brooklyn Bridge. Two lives were tragically lost, and the crew reflects on the chaos, confusion, and surprising lack of media coverage.“That Looked Like a Booze Cruise”: The team can’t get over how festive the ship looked—string lights, people dangling from the mast, and a vibe that screamed party more than patrol.This episode is a perfect blend of real-world news, razor-sharp wit, and the kind of off-the-rails banter that only Ben, Skin, KT, and K-Ray can deliver. If you’ve ever wondered what happens when a naval disaster meets a comedy show, this is your moment.
