“Would you read a book called ‘Pregnant by My Gay Stepdaddy’… on a plane… out loud?”In one of the most side-splitting and unexpected episodes of The Ben and Skin Show, the crew dives headfirst into the wild literary world of viral author Quan Mills—a man whose book titles alone could make your grandma faint and your book club implode.Join Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina “Lil Baby Cornbread” Ray as they explore:
- The outrageous, real-life titles of Quan Mills’ books, including:
- This Ho Got Roaches in Her Crib
- A Tax Season Thot
- Crack Ho Dreams
- I Got Both My Homeboys Pregnant
- Skin’s bold promise to read one of these books cover-to-cover and deliver a full book report—possibly aloud on a flight.
- A hilarious detour into Norm Macdonald’s Super Dave impression and a perfectly timed OJ Simpson joke.
- A thoughtful nod to the film American Fiction, and how it eerily mirrors Quan Mills’ rise to viral fame.

Man, you were just telling that Rosie o'donald story a
second ago.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Kat Roseanne.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
Oh yeah, Roseanne. I can't remember if this punchline is
Roseanne or Rosie o'donald. But I get all these Norm
McDonald clips on my phone, and there was one where
he was imitating super Dave Osborne and he had his
voice down exactly and he was talking about super Dave Osborne,
you know, going to him and saying, all right, fourth
and one, no time left. You have to get a touchdown.
(00:25):
Do you give it to Jim Brown? Do you give
it to O? J. Simpson? So it's Norm talking right
See they go, okay, here's an O. J. Simpson joke.
Or do you give it to Emit Smith? Because me,
I give it to Rosi o' donald. And right now
it's time for this.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Coby jim I News jim I News controls.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Never know what.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
Kobe Thunder was rolling last night. More on that in
the next hour. So look, uh, I've been I'm a
big reader. Now I'm an avid reader. Right you start
the Andrew Luck book Club, but.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
I have not.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
It was weird to see these books. I don't know
about to mention in the Andrew Luck Book Club. Okay,
he seemed like a guy I went to Stanford, kind
of smart guy that he wouldn't uh go down this path.
But there there's an author by the name of Kwan Mills.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Kwan Mills has a Z.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
On the end of his name, and he has been
getting a little traction onlinels social media following. Now authors
have to use social media to promote their other stuff too.
I guess this is all everyone's in fit for the
Selves mode right here, right, and you just hope that
the algorithm shines on you. Man. Kwan Mills has got
some really good premises for his books. I haven't dove
(01:57):
in yet, but I've been on good Reads considering adding
these to my cart loads. The one that got my
attention the most of I mean, he's got a ton
is the book This Hoe Got Roaches in Her Crib,
which I can only imagine is uh, I'm assuming I
(02:22):
would read that Austin Watkins thirty five, a single father
finds himself in a precarious situation and ends up going
home and finds out that this hoe got roaches in
her crib.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
So that's pretty good, right, Okay, please explain this to me.
These are actual books that were published. Oh and these
are not like little short books. These are long books, audiobooks,
you know. I'm sure there are now yeah, maybe, yeah,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Okay, yeah, This hoe Got Roaches in Her Crib is
thirteen seventy eight on Amazon paperback.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Yeah, three ninety nine on Goodreads. So that's it's pretty solid,
you know. But now, uh, this one's good tax season thoughts?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Uh huh you know which is that hoe over there? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:08):
It's a tax season, tax season, My bad Spanish bitch.
This is one I was just actually I was spoiler,
isn't it? This will be what I'm getting you all
for Christmas?
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Pregnant by my gay stepdaddy.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Oh god, my god, please tell me more about the
origin of all of this.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
The guy's an author, he's writing stories. What do you
mean the origin? What else do you need to know?
Speaker 4 (03:37):
He wants shocking headline titles to his books, and I'm.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Assuming the narrative is filled with language like this too.
Did you guys see the movie American Fiction that was
nominated for Academy Awards a couple of years ago never
got to Jeffrey Wright though, Yes, Jeffrey Right and he's
an overly educated African American man, and they no longer
won his books. And once he starts put like crazy
(04:01):
slanying in it, then suddenly he's the most celebrated author,
and all these white people are talking about his real language.
It's it's genius.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah, I've not seen it. It looks good.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
It's really funny.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah, crack hoe dreams.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Okay, these are the kind of books that are in
American fiction. I'm telling you this one.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Pastors eat this too.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Oh God, that does not sound like a religious manuscript.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Um, this is a tough one. But in honor of
Pride Month, Christina.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Don't put her in the title of this.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
This is described as a dangerous Chicago love story.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I got both my homeboys pregnant. Have you bought any
of these?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Not yet? Dude, pick one, get it. I'll read it
and do a book report.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Yeah, you're not gonna read it. It's like three hundred pages.
No I do.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
I can pound three hundred pages. I'm going on a flight,
all right. I'm going on a flight in July. Give
me a month and a half.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Yeah. Reading that on a plane is worse than ben
watching Naylan Palin on the plane.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Well, you don't have to read it out loud.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
No, that's part of the bit.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
I have to read this book aloud on a flight.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
In this cover of that book, two of the Homeboys
do have baby bumps.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
It's very strange. Oh my god, very strange.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
So Kwan Mills is the next author that you need
to keep your eyes a good job.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Kevin kat is an avid reader. He's bringing books back,
