“Would you trust a CEO named Mortimer?”In this laugh-packed segment of The Ben and Skin Show, hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray take listeners on a hilarious ride through the world of powerful names, nostalgic references, and unexpected wildlife advice.The crew kicks things off with a reminder to stay locked in for your chance to win Pantera tickets—but quickly veer into a side-splitting debate over the Top 10 Most Powerful Male Names among Fortune 500 CEOs. From Robert and Michael to the tragically overlooked Mortimer, the gang guesses, roasts, and spirals into a rabbit hole of name-based comedy.
