“What happens when a DFW radio legend refuses to leave the field—and the laws of gravity have other plans?”In this laugh-out-loud trip through time, Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray fire up the Wayback Machine to revisit one of the most iconic—and unintentionally hilarious—moments in Dirk Nowitzki's Heroes Celebrity Baseball Game history.The spotlight? None other than Jody Dean, the beloved DFW radio icon who made it his mission to play every inning—even if it meant falling flat on his face. Literally.From refusing to rotate out for actual athletes like Ezekiel Elliott to taking a tumble on a slow roller from Yogi Ferrell, Jody's commitment to staying in the game becomes the stuff of legend. KT gleefully narrates the fall he's waited years to call live, while Ben interviews Hall of Famer Tim Brown, who tries (and fails) to politely assess Jody's athleticism:“He looks like a guy who's taking care of himself… in what way?”The episode crescendos with a mock-serious postgame interview where Jody claims his “pancreas fell out” and boasts a record-breaking streak of nine consecutive injuries. The crew can't stop laughing—and neither will you.

“What do you do when a sports legend breaks down in tears—live, in front of thousands?”In this unforgettable episode of The Ben and Skin Show, Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina “K-Ray” Ray take you behind the scenes of one of the most ambitious and emotionally charged nights in DFW sports history. Broadcasting live from the American Airlines Center, the crew reflects on the Mavericks' draft night extravaganza—an event that wasn't just televised and streamed, but performed live for a roaring crowd.From the electric moment Cooper Flagg was drafted #1 overall to the heart-wrenching return of Mavs legend Mark Aguirre—who openly wept on stage—this episode captures the raw emotion, nostalgia, and redemption that defined the night. Hear how Skin supported Aguirre through a deeply vulnerable moment, and how the show's heartfelt coverage may have even inspired Dirk Nowitzki to send a powerful video message to the Mavs' newest star.This episode is a masterclass in balancing humor, heart, and high-stakes sports storytelling. Whether you're a die-hard Mavs fan or just love great radio, this one's not to be missed.

im 83. Plattenplausch sprühen Erik und Lennart vor Frühlingsenergie - und doch wird es schnell ernst: Mit Kilian Ort haben die beiden einen Ex-Nationalspieler in der Sendung, der vor kurzem seine Karriere verletzungsbedingt beenden musste. Der sympathische Franke gibt extrem aufgeräumt Einblicke in sein Innenleben während der zweijährigen Leidenszeit und berichtet, wann er wusste, dass es nicht mehr weitergehen würde. Ganz offen spricht der ‚Dirk Nowitzki aus Königshofen‘ über finanzielle Absicherungen und seine Ideen für die Zukunft. Dabei beweist er durchaus Plauscherqualitäten: Als erster Gast notiert er head-to-head-Statistiken, verteilt das Prädikat ‚Korrekter Aufschlag‘ und gibt Anekdoten über knallende Sektkorken und kirchlichen Beistand im Aufschlagprozedere ins Mikro. Nach einem solch präsenten Gast klären die Plauscher noch in bekannter Manier, ob der Trend hin zu Schokoladenbrezeln geht und warum man beim Kühlschrank nicht den Stecker ziehen sollte – und ratzfatz ist eine gute Stunde TT-Unterhaltung im Kasten.

On McKay's 50th podcast episode, he talks about the importance of staying in your lane, and opens this week by introducing the story of Sarah Blakely, the creator of SPANX. He talks about her unhappiness as a fax machine saleswoman and her perseverance in the industry. Only after dedicating herself to her position did she serendipitously find success in the hosiery business. McKay notes that, although dedicating yourself to your craft in the face of unhappiness is no easy feat, giving yourself fully or staying in your lane is the most surefire method to achieve success. He goes on to recall the story of Dirk Nowitzki, the starting center for the Dallas Mavericks. McKay remembers the moment when Dirk turned down high offers at other teams and chose to stay with Dallas - a prime example of staying in your lane. He didn't forego his path for the sake of money, but stayed true to his goal. McKay concludes this episode by reminding us all that there is huge value in being loyal to others, to your calling, to your values, and that you will find you can travel faster, make more progress and feel better about who you are when you stay in your lane with confidence.The Finer Details of This Episode: Sarah Blakely's journey to create SPANXFinding serendipitous successThe importance of giving yourself fullyDirk Nowitzki's loyalty to the Dallas MavericksWhy imitation never worksWhy one should avoid worrying about othersFocusing on yourself Quotes: “You see too often in life, we don't stay in our lane. We think things are better doing what someone else is doing or want to shift strategy, because things are temporarily hard or something else seems a little more inviting.”“You develop skills and meet people that can likely change the course of your life. And on it goes.”“Give your full commitment to your relationship even though things aren't perfect.”“There is depth in anything you give yourself to fully.”“Staying in your lane is more than being focused, committed, or loyal. It also means you give yourself to what you were called to do.”“Stick to your lane until the time is right to add a boat or camper, and until then, smile.”“Now I've known people who are very good at staying in their lane in life. They just have this way about them. They're not worried about other people. They're not obsessed with what other people do wrong. They're just confident and observant and patient and comfortable with who they are.”“Next time you're tempted to be nosy or out of your lane, or critical of someone else or wanting to direct their life, say to yourself, ‘I've resigned from that job.'”“Every second you spend driving someone else's car is not spent driving yours.”Links: Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

Rob and Rob are back for the Friday bonus show, with starts with everyone dumping on MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred for proposing the “Golden At-Bat” rule at the Winter Meetings, because we just don’t like it. That spins into the rule about having a runner at second base at the start of every inning in extra innings. Rob also fields a listener question about why the Spurs-Mavericks Game 7 in the 2006 Western Conference Semifinals made the Prime show about “Best Game 7’s” and Rob says he HATES that game because it’s the game that cost him a ring after Manu Ginobili fouled Dirk Nowitzki.   We also dive into the story about Steve Spagnuolo’s wife giving the one player on the Chiefs defense with the best hit a full Italian dinner, and what incentives Rob received in his day. And while he didn’t have a lot of incentives in the way of food, he did have some cash incentives with coaches and players that made him a few bucks in the day. And Bobby wants to know if NBA teams got together for post-game meals after the Christmas games, to which Rob answers that it only happened when they were on the road. That spins us off into a conversation about what Rob likes to cook, and how he graduated up to cook the Thanksgiving turkey this year.   White Chocolate also said this week that NBA Christmas is better than NFL Thanksgiving, and Rob jokes that he used to love NFL on Thanksgiving until they forced us to watch the terrible Cowboys this year! And a debate breaks out after we decide to CUT one player between Devin Booker, Donvan Mitchell, Anthony Edwards and Jaylen Brown.   This week’s episode is presented by our amazing friends at Uncommon Goods!

Satou Sabally ist die beste Basketballerin Deutschlands. Mit gerade mal 26 Jahren ist sie eine der Führungsspielerinnen der Nationalmannschaft, die sich in diesem Jahr zum ersten Mal für die Olympischen Spiele qualifiziert hatte. Auch in den USA ist sie ein Superstar und gilt als eine der besten Spielerinnen der WNBA, der amerikanischen Basketballliga. Dort tritt sie mit den Dallas Wings an – trainiert also in der gleichen Stadt wie einst Dirk Nowitzki, nur für ein anderes Team. Nichtsdestotrotz kommt der immer wieder zu ihren Spielen und sagt - Zitat - „Sie arbeitet so hart und es macht einfach enorm viel Spaß, ihr zuzuschauen.“ Ich hoffe, euch macht es gleich genauso viel Spaß, ihr zuzuhören. Satou war mir aus dem ARD-Studio in New York City zugeschaltet. Von dort hat sie erzählt, wie es damals für sie war, mit nicht mal 18 ihre Eltern und sechs Geschwister zu verlassen, um am anderen Ende des Landes in der ersten Liga zu spielen. Bis heute ist ihr Erfolg auch mit Entbehrungen verbunden. Was vermisst sie in ihrem streng durchgetakteten Alltag am meisten? Wir haben auch über Geld gesprochen. Denn Satou hat sich vorgenommen, aus ihrer Karriere nicht nur sportlich, sondern auch finanziell das Maximum rauszuholen. Womit verdient man als Basketballerin am meisten? Natürlich ging es auch um die anstehenden US-Wahlen – wie nimmt sie die Stimmung wahr, einerseits im progressiven New York, und dann im konservativen Texas? Ich hab in diesem Interview einen tiefen Einblick in Satous Sportlerinnen-Mindset bekommen – und das war was, wovon ich auch für mich selbst echt was mitnehmen konnte. Also, hier kommt ‘ne gute Stunde mit Satou Sabally. ►►► Deutschland3000 Instagram: @deutschland3000 https://www.instagram.com/deutschland3000 Satou Sabally Instagram: @satou_sabally https://www.instagram.com/satou_sabally/ Eva Schulz Instagram: @evaschulz https://www.instagram.com/evaschulz/ ►►► Die Deutschland3000-Folgen mit Kristina Vogel und den Wolter-Twins findet ihr hier: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/deutschland3000-ne-gute-stunde-mit-eva-schulz/erst-rad-dann-rollstuhl-kristina-vogel-wie-ist-dein-leben-ohne-leistungssport/n-joy/12596549/ https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/deutschland3000-ne-gute-stunde-mit-eva-schulz/takeover-mit-dennis-und-benni-wolter-how-to-kick-it-like-kramer/n-joy/13299879/ Den Wochenrückblick „Pony & Bart“ mit Martina und Greg findet ihr hier: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/sendung/pony-und-bart/13044997/ Den Podcast „Amerika, wir müssen reden“ mit Ingo Zamperoni und seiner US-amerikanischen Ehefrau Jiffer Bourgguinon findet ihr hier: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/sendung/amerika-wir-muessen-reden/82222746/ ►►► Redaktion: Merle Hömberg und Ruby-Ann Schwiethal Gäste-Management: Axel Schöning Produktion: Merle Hömberg und Axel Schöning Social Media: Kim Vanessa Schang und das Sounddesign kommt von Soundquadrat "Deutschland3000 – ‘ne gute Stunde mit Eva Schulz" ist ein Podcast von N-JOY vom NDR.
