“Can a dog really stop a fight just by walking into the room?”In this unforgettable episode of The Ben and Skin Show, the crew dives headfirst into one of the most bizarre and captivating viral sensations sweeping social media: a mysterious mutt named King Charles. But this isn’t your average internet dog—this is a Christ-like canine, a four-legged Aslan, whose mere presence brings chaos to calm and turns growls into grovels.Join Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray as they unravel the legend of King Charles, the alpha dog with an aura so powerful it’s been described as “borderline spiritual.” From Turks and Caicos restaurant tales to algorithm paranoia, this episode is packed with hilarious banter, unexpected wisdom, and some of the funniest commentary you’ll hear all week.🔑 Key Moments:
- Ben’s obsession with King Charles and the social media rabbit hole he fell into.
- Skin’s epic comparison of the dog to Aslan from Narnia: “He is a Christ-like figure that rules through compassion, but also conviction.”
- Krystina’s perfect analogy: “It’s like when your dad walks in and you immediately stop fighting.”

(01:22):
All hands on deck today, we're very excited about this show.
It's gonna be a good one. But I want to
get things going by talking about one of my favorite topics,
King Charles.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Now.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Just moments ago, I shared with my showmates here video
of King Charles, and I knew I could not send
it to them. And why couldn't I send you, guys
social media clips? I never watch anything you sent me.
Speaker 6 (01:43):
The last time you sent me a video for the
next month, all I got was the Jardians lady eating
a bunch of noodles.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
To be fair, band, I don't click on any videos
I get said.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Okay, right, that's fair.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Now don't click on the documentary trailers I sent you.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Sorry, So look are our timelines? Are our babies, like
like we nurture them, we make them the way we
want them. I get a lot of AI kind of
you know gilf ai ai gilf and bathing suits, and
I know you guys don't want that. Skin wants French
(02:18):
documentaries about noodles. Christina wants to just see stuff about dogs,
friendly dogs. KT wants, uh, I don't know what are
you looking for out there? I don't really know, honestly, So.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
He really you're up for grabs. You might like some
of the stuff he wants, something with limp energy.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
I did not send you guys this video because I
know I knew you guys didn't want me to taint
your algorithms. But while I was out of town, I
was in Turks and Kkos, I was having an incredible time.
Something kept appearing on my timeline, whether it was Facebook
or Instagram wherever. And it was a dog, a dog
named King Charles. And this I just showed you guys
(02:56):
the video of this. And I'm curious if any of
our listeners have stumbled across Key Charles. Because my family
made fun of me because we were at a restaurant.
We were having an incredibly overpriced dinner and I'm sitting
there regretting, like, you know, my kids won't even eat
this food, and there it's so expensive. And the waiter
was a pretty cool guy. He was from Turks, grown
(03:17):
up there, his whole life, thick accent. And somehow social
media came up and he goes, oh, what are you
looking at? And I go, I don't know if you've
seen this, but there's this dog named King Charles.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
And he goes, I've seen that dog.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Yes, he goes, my whole timeline is that dog king
Charles Wow, And so he knew all about it. Now,
my son, who is also a bartender for us and
Brewer invested, said that waiter's milking you, Dad. He's he's
just trying to get a bigger tip, okay. And I
was like, no, dude, he knew about the dog, like
he talked about it being an alpha, so he knew.
But anyways, I did not send this to you because
(03:53):
I knew you guys wouldn't click on it. But I
am captivated by this and I want to try to
describe it to our sweet eagle listener. But basically, there's
this kennel and it's like a dog shelter, right, yeah,
And there's like thirty dogs there or whatever, and there's
one dog that is the alpha. And it doesn't even
it kind of looks like a big, tall terrier. It
(04:15):
just it's kind of furry. It's kind of handsome, cute dog.
It doesn't look like a pitbull or anything. Yeah, but
it is the ferocious alpha. And there will be a
fight happening at this kennel and all these dogs are
like showing something their.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Teeth and Rah I'm gonna kill you dog.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Now, I'm gonna kill you dog.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
And then King Charles just saunters up, doesn't show his teeth,
doesn't get mad, and every dog cowers and rolls over.
And then he goes to the biggest aggressor and he
stands with his front paws on that dog's chest while
that dog cowers.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
It's really interesting because he's definitely got a mutt quality
to him, but he's a bigger mutt. But he does
look like a sweet cuddle dog. But as you were
you probably showed us five or six videos, and so
there's one where there's narration, which I guess that's what
your source material is. And then there's the other the
social media phenomenon where people with funny voices narrate what's
(05:07):
going on in videos. So yeah, so there's all these
offshoots of it. But as I was watching this trying
to figure out, because you didn't give us any contexts,
and so immediately I'm like, man, I don't want to
watch this. And then as we start watching it and
it's just more and more badass. I'm trying to figure out, Okay,
what am I watching? What is the origin of this?
How did this happen? And it struck me For those
(05:29):
you know, at least our age, I don't know if
you guys grew up reading The Lion, the Witch and
the Wardrobe.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
And the CS Lewis stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Yeah, the way that I would describe King Charles is
he's very much like Oslon in the Land of Narnia.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
He is a christ Like figure.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
That rules through compassion but also conviction. In what you showed,
I never saw King Charles destroy another dog. They just,
as one commentator called it, his aura was so strong
it was borderlines spiritual, and the other dog's like, oh
my god. I know I could have this sky up,
but this is a christ dog and I'm immediately rolling out.
(06:06):
So he was like Oslon and the Lion, the Witch
in the Wardrobe, it's insane.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
A christ dog. What do you make of it? Christina?
Speaker 4 (06:13):
I mean basically what he said Like that, one guy
mentioned that dog has an aura, and he was exactly right.
Every time King Charles showed up, those dogs wol immediately
stop fighting. It's kind of like when your dad shows
up too, and you're like fighting with your siblings, right,
You're like, oh crap, Dad's here. Yep, we're good, we
got this, and then if they wouldn't, he would just,
you know, kind of step on their neck. Picture like, hey,
(06:34):
you're stopping this right now, we're not doing this. So
he's kind of an aggressive peace maker.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Oh I like that, an aggressive piece maker like Omar
from the Wire kind of to tone it down when
Omar was coming right whistled right.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Oh that's great. So does this earn me some credibility
with you?
Speaker 6 (06:50):
Guys?
Speaker 5 (06:50):
If I send you something, will you go?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
No?
Speaker 6 (06:52):
No, he's got an animal on it. Maybe, yeah, you
know the liver king. Really that was a one.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
You're hot right now? Oh hot, you're hot. But man,
it's kind of like lou Dort getting hot, you know
what I'm saying, Like, all right, we're not gonna base
our offense around this. But yeah, he's knocking out some threes.
This is good. There you go, There you go. I
hit it out the park. And that's a little finals
preview for you.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
Okay, this is the dumbest show on Earth, all right?
Coming up next, Skin, we're gonna take us in things.
Skin is tracking well.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
I got a lot to juggle, but part of it
is I just love to take kt to task. And
I need you guys to go along with me on
this because y'all are all probably in his bunker to
some degree.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I'm gonna see if I can pull you out of it.
I'm gonna head down there. Yeah, have a goal then
yeah you just too know. Yeah yeah when after winter
I show you're gone.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Ruling it except with sip we pursuing it, tundled out
Shaw shank through the sewer. Kid, Now what chilling at day?
Speaker 3 (00:22):
