"Did Andy Griffith really end his career in a raunchy sex comedy?"That’s the question that launches this absolutely unhinged ride through nostalgia, absurdity, and unexpected revelations on The Ben and Skin Show. In this segment, Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray fire up the Wayback Machine and stumble into a rabbit hole of legendary TV icons, bizarre movie trivia, and hilarious real-life stories that will leave you laughing and slightly disturbed.From debating whether Matlock was a detective, lawyer, or both, to discovering Andy Griffith’s final film role in the 2007 PG-13 sex comedy Play the Game, the crew dives deep into the surreal plot where Grandpa Joe (Griffith) learns “how to win the game with women.”
