What does it mean to be famous in a world where everyone has a platform—but no one has the spotlight?In this thought-provoking and wildly entertaining episode of The Ben and Skin Show, hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive headfirst into the evolving nature of fame in the digital age. From AI-generated influencers to cultural preservationists, the crew explores a viral Threads post that breaks down the last 50 years of fame—and predicts what’s coming next.💡 Key Themes & Moments:

The rise of “expert-led fame” and why trust in influencers and legacy media is fading.
The unexpected power of cultural translators and local legends like Robert Wilonsky.
The chilling (and hilarious) reality of AI-generated OnlyFans stars and digital personalities.

The concept of micro fame and how the show’s loyal listeners are part of a deeply connected subculture.
A hilarious exchange:
KT: “I have micro fame.”
Skin: “Micropeen fame is what I have.”
KT: “I have a tiny penis.”
Skin: “You can’t steal my thunder!”

🎙️ This episode is equal parts insightful and absurd, blending cultural commentary with the kind of off-the-rails humor only this crew can deliver. Whether you’re fascinated by the future of fame or just here for the laughs, this one’s a must-listen.
