*What happens when your voice sounds like Barry White meets John Coffey from *The Green Mile… and you’re too sick to defend your own political hot takes?In this hilariously unhinged episode of The Ben and Skin Show, Ben Rogers returns from a gnarly bout of mystery illness that had him coughing so hard his ribs hurt—and sounding like a cross between a late-night soul singer and a haunted audiobook narrator. Joined by Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina “Little Baby Cornbread” Ray, the crew dives into a chaotic mix of sick-day audio diaries, bizarre celebrity stories, and one of the most awkward public loogie incidents ever broadcast.🔑 Key Moments & Themes:
- 🎧 Ben’s Sick-Day Audio: A surreal, slowed-down voice memo from Ben’s house featuring a howling dog, a shoutout to “Dubai Health,” and a voice so deep it sparked a Michael Clarke Duncan tribute gone hilariously wrong.
- 🤧 The Illness Chronicles: From allergies to “the ick,” Ben recounts his descent into mucus-free misery and the night coughs that nearly broke his ribs.
- 🐻 Bear Meat & Beached Whales: The gang unpacks a jaw-dropping tale of a celebrity who stored bear meat in his fridge and chainsawed a whale on a family vacation. Yes, really.

I can't.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
So on Friday Friday, I came into work and I
was like, damn, my allergies are acting crazy today. In hindsight,
you did sound different, but I didn't think it was
that big a deal. And then, uh, Friday night, yeah, man,
I was not doing great. I did not feel very good.
(01:56):
And then uh, Saturday morning I woke up and it
was death. I just felt terrible. Sunday woke up, felt
even worse. And then Monday woke up, did not feel
good again, but was trending in the right direction. So
today is the first day. I woke up and I
was like, okay, I was coughing so much that my
ribs hurt.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Have you ever had that?
Speaker 4 (02:14):
I coughed on on like Saturday night or Sunday I coughed.
I was like, oh, like wait, I've coughed that much.
And I think I was coughing the most at night
when I was sleeping, Like for whatever reason, that's when
I was those up all night coughing.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
This is drainage and stuff. I guess I get. I
think I was sick. I don't.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
I don't know exactly what it was. I never went
and got I never had a fever, any mucus, and
so that's the thing. And so it started like as allergies.
Then it became like sneezing, and then it was like
a bad headache the whole time. Just felt you feel
the ick, you know, and and but uh, and then
my nose was running and stuff and and no real
(02:54):
mucus running until the trying to get through the woods. Now,
if I start coughing and have a cough attack, it
could produce something terrible, right, some bloody flem.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
So I want.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
So I want to go back to that audio for yesterday.
What were you thinking when I say you there? And
by the way, should we reset and play it?
Speaker 6 (03:15):

sounded yesterday.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
Greetings fellow, been in skin show, hoes and listeners on
ninety seven to one the Eagle.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Hear my dogs.
Speaker 6 (03:37):
This is Ben Rogers reporting live, well not actually live
from my house. There's a tiny dog howling in the background.
I'm not sure if you can hear that. I probably
heard that one. I am under the weather, so I
will not be doing the show today on this Monday.
My voice right now sounds like John Coffee in the
(04:00):
Big Green Mile, shout out to Michael.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Yes, dude, this was a problem that was probably it's
the green mile in the big Green egg, combine the
big Green.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Mine and to bring him up and not do an
r I P.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Come on, man, he died for our sense and you're
not even acknowledging that accident. Ben started singing some Verry
White lyrics in honor of Michael Clark.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Duncan the Big Green Mile, all right?
Speaker 4 (04:33):
He was a guy that did brisket on the weekends
until he committed a crime.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Bit a prison made him brisket for Tomas. This might
be my new me.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
I'm like that Kennedy health. Dude, don't eat that. You
should not eat that.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Do you know what typical bend to do a politics
drive by, a hit and run, just dumple this political
talk on our show and then not be there to
defend his action. There's like some high school or college
kid that keeps showing up on my timeline impersonating them,
and he's going ahead and.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Going, why are you eating cheetos? Go eat cheetos? You
don't know what that cheese was name. Put that down immediately.
Have these Brussels sprouts.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
This kind of what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Did you just fire every doctor yesterday? Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
We're not going to find a cure to cancer ever, doctors.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
That's me now, So I'm probably going to go shoot
and eat a unicorn then leave its corpse in a
small forest.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I can't remember.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
To eat a whale or he ate a bear and
killed the West two instances. One is yes, he did
kill he ran over a bear.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yeah, and then he.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Got off the he first of all, hold on, hold on, dude,
there's there's a biking involved. There's a big story about
bike lanes and stuff. So what he did in Central Park,
So he drugged the corpse of the bear and left
it there, thought it would be funny. And then he
then took the meat out of the bear though, and
stored it in a fridge. Then also the whale thing.
(06:09):
The whale was beached, and then he on a family
vacation with his kids in the back seat when started
hacking it up with the chainsaw and then put some
of the remains on top of the van.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Yeah, he tied it to the top of his windows down,
so the.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Blood was getting in the car and he ate some
of it later interview his daughter did a few years ago,
and I think it's like, oh that we excuse this
behavior because his father was murdered in a very you know,
public way on.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
You know TV. I don't think we excuse that behavior.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
I think it is I think it's widely accepted. It
feels slard for this guy because of that.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
If we are going to feel sorry for him, it
was all made up.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
The fact that he's got a smoking hot wife, the
lady from Curb Your Enthusiasm?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Right.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Are they still together?
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Noah, they're still together. She was at tea.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
There was a funny clip going around because she was
at the inauguration and Trump gave her the heisman.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah, he went. She went to shake his hand and
he just moved on basket. You don't shake women's hands.
Cheryl Hines And yeah, are you guys not a fan
of her work? I love her. She's great.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Was she funny in the show, Yes, Oh that's right.
You didn't see the show a few episodes. I just
always thought she was smoking hot, she's lovely.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
I do I do think I should get back and
watch that thing. There's also a video of her getting scared.
They have owned a bunch of em us and stuff,
and one of the m us started chasing her through
the house. Oh right, and she was like mad at
him and saying she was gonna kill his falcons or something.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
It's the weirdest guy.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
It's not that different than the liver king running the
health depart he said.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
He also said, like two weeks ago in a courtroom,
I don't know, I wouldn't take medical advice from me.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
And it's like, that's like your whole job now. It's
very strange.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
We're deconstructing government. It's a new time.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
He was saying in his kitchen.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
That's right. I don't know what what happened to his voice.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Uh, he had something and he was a kid. It
is actual health.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
It's a health yeah, but I thought it happened later
in life. Was later, yeah, because for a while, Like
you can find clips of him in the dude.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
He used to be a huge dim uh you.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Know, ecological guy. That's how he like kind of built
his thing back up in the eighties. Uh, there's clips
him in the eighties where he has a more normal
sounding voice.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
So don't eat that. You should not eat that. So
is that the end of it?
Speaker 6 (08:28):
Anyways, just wanted to wish you all the very best,
thanks for listening. God speed to my boy said to
buy hell.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Wow, see you later. Okay, what is that reference? That's
not what voice could do?
Speaker 3 (08:44):
That crazy?
Speaker 4 (08:45):
What's the last thing you said? Did you say peace
to my boys that do buy health? I was like, wait,
what is that?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I don't understand.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
It's an organic voice.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Disorder speed to my boys? Wow wow.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Not shout out to my boys at Dubai Health. It's
to my bi health. Yeah okay uh. And so anyways,
I've noticed today we skin and I had an appointment.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
KT was there. We were and Christina stood us up.
She can't go, kid, She didn't go.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
And so I was walking out of our appointment and
it was in an area where there's all this construction
and most of the businesses there are closed. But I
was walking right in front of another business and I
didn't even think about it, and I coughed, and so unfortunately.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
I needed to spit. I needed to spit like it
was bad on their business.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
And so I went to spit and it kind of
surprised me, and it didn't like, didn't all come out,
so i'd like double spit.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
It was real awkward and like a just huge gross thing.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
And at the time that I finished, I realized I
was doing it right in front of the window of
an office.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Okay, at you, I just did it full on.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
It looks like a homeless guy spit a loogie right
on that office. That is a really good out of
context drop too. If you start with by the time
that I finished, you're gonna want that all.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Right coming up next where you're gonna take some of
the wayback machine.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Well we're gonna do We're getting a little what skin
is tracking instead and uh and we're gonna finally catch
up with the business owner that watch you spit all
over his business and we'll do that next, all right,
before we get to that sorry things skin is tracking.
I'm still still ramping back on here.
