"Is it possible to accidentally summon a celebrity’s death just by talking about them on-air?"In this laugh-packed, nostalgia-fueled episode of The Ben and Skin Show, hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray take listeners on a rollercoaster of pop culture, unexpected connections, and Emmy surprises. The segment kicks off with a hilarious tech mishap as KT blurts out, “I put it in the wrong hole,” prompting instant chaos and classic show banter.From there, the crew revisits Monday’s show where they randomly discussed the classic sitcom Alice—only to discover that Polly Holliday, the iconic “Flo” who coined the phrase “Kiss my grits,” passed away just days later. The coincidence is eerie, and the reactions are priceless. “She was in All the President’s Men?!” Skin exclaims, stunned by her underrated filmography, which also includes Gremlins, Mrs. Doubtfire, and The Heartbreak Kid.The Emmy buzz heats up as the gang tries to guess the most-watched Emmy-nominated show of 2025. Guesses fly—Severance, White Lotus, Abbott Elementary—but the answer stuns everyone: Survivor.
