Is The NBA Draft Lottery Rigged? The Neverending Question

  • “Tell me how it’s fixed. We’re not continuing this conversation until you explain exactly how.”That’s the challenge Skin throws down in this wildly entertaining episode of The Ben and Skin Show, where conspiracy theories, celebrity run-ins, and hilarious weekend recaps collide in a perfect storm of chaos and comedy.Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray are back on 97.1 The Eagle, and they’re bringing the heat—and the laughs. From Skin’s yacht rock weekend and KT’s electric night with Saul Goodman’s secretary (yes, really), to Krystina’s storm-shortened but stellar performance at the Wildflower Festival, the crew dives into their weekends. But the real fireworks start when Ben recounts a birthday party conversation gone off the rails: two friends, a few drinks, and a full-blown belief that the NBA Draft is rigged. What follows is a masterclass in comedic frustration, as Ben and Skin try to reason with the unreasonable. The result? One of the funniest and most relatable sports rants you’ll hear all year.Memorable Moments:🎸 KT casually hanging out with Electric Six and a Breaking Bad alum.
