💭 “What do the OJ Bronco chase, the World Cup, and Arnold Palmer’s tearful farewell have in common?”
They all happened on the same jaw-dropping day: June 17, 1994. In this time-traveling edition of The Ben and Skin Show, Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray fire up the Wayback Machine and take you on a hilarious, nostalgic, and surprisingly emotional ride through one of the most surreal days in sports and pop culture history.From the Knicks vs. Rockets NBA Finals to the Stanley Cup parade with Gretzky, and the kickoff of the first-ever U.S.-hosted World Cup—this day had it all. Arnold Palmer’s emotional US Open farewell gets hilariously overshadowed by Skin’s impersonation: “He’s just standing there drinking a tea and lemonade…”The gang reflects on how the OJ chase changed media forever, with Skin recalling: “I remember being pissed when SNL got interrupted because Princess Diana died.”Ben and Skin even reminisce about performing a rap show in Deep Ellum the night of the chase—while Counting Crows played the Bomb Factory. (Yes, really.)
