June 06, 2025The Team With All The Juice
“How does a team with 19 first-half turnovers still manage to win a playoff game on the road?”That’s the question that kicks off this electric episode of The Ben and Skin Show on 97.1 The Eagle, where Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive headfirst into one of the most improbable NBA Finals comebacks in recent memory—and somehow still find time to track a rogue zebra on the loose in Tennessee.From Tyrese Haliburton’s cold-blooded game-winner to Rick Carlisle’s evolution from control freak to free-flowing genius, the crew breaks down every twist and turn of Indiana’s wild win over Oklahoma City. Skin passionately declares, “This team does not give up,” while KT confesses he missed the shot because he “was convinced it wasn’t going to be close.” Oops.Meanwhile, Ben shares how the airport “erupted” after the buzzer-beater, and the gang debates whether this Pacers run is a one-time miracle or the start of something bigger. There’s even a hilarious detour into why Lou Dort is just too physical and SGA might be a free throw hunter—and yes, Skin is officially on the Pacers bandwagon.And just when you think it’s all basketball, the show pivots to the mystery of the Murfreesboro zebra, with KT calling city hall to get answers. Because of course he did.Memorable Moments:
“Don’t you sleep on the Indiana Pacers… they’ve got the juice.”
“Rick Carlisle used to call every play. Now he’s just like, ‘Go do it, Tyrese.’”

June 06, 2025An Update On The Tennessee Zebra On The Loose
“Did we just rename a zebra mid-chase… and why does it sound like a QR code running down the highway?”In this wildly entertaining episode of The Ben and Skin Show on 97.1 The Eagle, your favorite crew—Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray—dives headfirst into the most bizarre breaking news story of the week: a zebra named Zeke (or is it Ed?) on the run in Tennessee.KT kicks things off with a prank call to Murfreesboro City Hall, posing as “Frank” and asking the all-important question: “Did you ever find that zebra that’s on the loose?” The response? Pure gold. From describing the zebra as “a dead gum QR code running around” to pondering the Lingus family’s involvement, this segment is packed with laugh-out-loud moments and razor-sharp improv.But the absurdity doesn’t stop there. The team reacts to the latest news: the zebra—now officially renamed “Ed” by public consensus—is being tracked by drone, and the owners have issued a heartfelt (and slightly over-the-top) statement calling Ed “a symbol of joy, laughter, and unity.” Skin’s response? “Less time crafting statements, more time getting your barn figured out.”Funniest Moments:
“I’ve been looking into doing some budgeting.”
“There’s no gray area here—just black and white.”
“Zebras don’t come to their name. They’re not dogs.”
“They have a better paint job than horses.”
“This is one of the better zebra segments we’ve done.”
Themes & Highlights:
The absurdity of viral animal stories
Public fascination with naming runaway wildlife
A hilarious critique of zebra PR strategy
A surprisingly deep dive into the horse/zebra societal divide
