Do The Headlines Freak You Out?
What’s more terrifying—an 11-foot alligator in your canoe or a brain-eating amoeba in your tap water?In this gripping and gut-busting episode of The Ben and Skin Show, the crew dives into the bizarre and unsettling headlines that make you question whether it’s even safe to leave the house. From a tragic alligator attack in Florida to the chilling case of a brain-eating amoeba in Texas, the team explores how we process fear, media sensationalism, and the absurdity of modern life.Ben Rogers brings his signature existential flair, admitting, “If I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die,” while Jeff “Skin” Wade tries to make sense of the odds: “What percentage of canoers get eaten by alligators? It’s a very small percentage.” Kevin “KT” Turner drops a chipmunk-voiced gem—“Yeah, that was tough”—that sends Krystina Ray into a wheeze-laugh spiral that’s pure radio gold.Key Themes & Moments:
- 🧠 Brain-eating amoebas and the media’s role in fear-mongering
- 🐊 The Florida canoe tragedy and the debate over “avoidable danger”
- 🛶 Personal stories of canoeing, camping, and questionable decisions
- 😂 KT’s chipmunk moment and Christina’s uncontrollable laughter
- 🧂 “Marinate the chicken” – euphemism or outdoor cooking tip?
