Why are the most-watched shows in America either wildly depressing or completely unrecognizable—and why are women apparently watching all of them while the guys mow the lawn?In this laugh-packed episode of The Ben and Skin Show, hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina “Little Baby Cornbread” Ray dive into the latest TV viewership rankings—and the results are as baffling as they are hilarious. From Squid Game dominating the charts to a show literally called Adolescence that no one remembers watching, the crew tries (and mostly fails) to guess what America is actually tuning into.🔑 Key Moments & Themes:
- 📺 TV Rankings Chaos: KT reveals the top shows of the 2024–2025 season, including Squid Game (17.4M viewers), Adolescence, and Monsters: The Menendez Brothers—and the gang reacts with confusion, sarcasm, and a lot of laughter.
- 🛋️ “Shows for Hoes”: Skin coins a new genre while describing a Kristen Bell comedy, prompting Krystina to defend its binge-worthiness and ease of consumption.
- 🏡 Lawn Mowing Debate: A spontaneous gender debate erupts over who should mow the lawn, with Skin asking, “Why don’t you let her do it and show that she’s strong enough?”
- 🏌️ KT’s Golf Story That Goes Nowhere: KT shares a riveting tale of playing golf with Jeff Stewart from Reliant Air Conditioning… and it’s somehow both pointless and perfect.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Submend and Skin Show ninety seven point one The Eagle.
Uh man, we got lots of stuff to get to
coming up to the top of the hour. Uh, the
classic tale of a couple of cows getting married. But
a second ago KT was regaling us with the most
watch shows on television, and I think what we learned
is that we're not good at guessing television shows. Now,
(00:22):
how many of the top ten have we gotten? Right?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
So he has got one Reacher on Amazon Prime. We
also got the White Lotus right? Oh yeah, number five? Yeah,
we got that one.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Did weird?
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Did he tell us?
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Didn't he give up and just tell us? Lay up?
How many? How many viewers does it have? Uh?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
This would have been six point five million. The way
they do this now is they take a thirty five
day viewing window. Oh do you get to it within
about a month, then you get credit for it.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
That is incredible fragmentation. Yeah, that a top five show
only has six point five million viewers per the thirty
five day window. Yeah, you know that's it. Then that
also goes to like I will watch White Lotus at
some point. I'm only three years behind. But the point being,
as people watch things on different well, time schedules now
(01:09):
and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
They've been getting such a big boost from people going
back and watching season one and season two.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I bet it helps. I bet if you go back
and look, I bet season one average like one point eight.
Oh yeahs it just got when I got bigger and
bigger and bigger. I know, I know one the second
season of Squid Game.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yes, that is number one. Wow, seventeen point four million.
It is by far.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I don't hear anybody talking about it anymore. Yeah, it's
been a while. Season three is coming soon too.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
It is doubled up number two by the way, like
it is far and away the most watched show.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I mean that's a ton of people. So number two
is like what eight million or seven? Nine weird show?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah, nine million, number two. Again, this is adult take
team to forty nine, and this is going from September
of twenty four to May of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Is it you porn?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
It's not you porn. It's something that aired on Netflix
or is on Netflix. You could still see it technically,
what's a hit about it? I'll say very dark. I
didn't see it, so I avoided it.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
H oh oh oh we've talked about it that way
teen suicide or something. Oh, it's called it's one word.
It's called like indulgence, impudence, adolescence, adolescents.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yes, adolescents. People say it's good wise everyone to be sad? Though?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Does everyone to be sad? Number three Monsters, The Allowing
Eric Menindez nine.
Speaker 2 (02:46):

this time a little more light. Watched one episode and
decided I didn't need any more of it. But a
lot of people loved it. A lot of people loved it.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
A lot of people said it was a famous actress.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
And then a guy who was famous twenty years ago

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Yeah, nobody, nobody loves you again, nobody's nobody wants this.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Nobody wants this. So I think, if I remember correctly,
I laid in bed one night and my wife watched
the entire season, and I was dozing off and waking
up dozing off, and so I'd wake up like three
episodes later and go, Okay, wait what just happened. She'd
be like, no, shut up, but she just cranked through
it all in one like it she I think, So.
Speaker 3 (03:51):

are like thirty minutes anyway, So yeah, good watch, easy
watch funny.

strong enough to do it? What I want to hear

four Christina standing by to take your call.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I used to love mowing the law when I was
a kid because my dad had one of those like
driving riding, so that was like the only way I
could kind of quote unquote drive a car zero fun.
