  The following podcast is a Dear Media production.

• 0:04Benito Skinner?

  I'm Benito Skinner.

• 0:05Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm Mary Beth Brown.

• 0:06Benito Skinner?

  And this.

• 0:07Mary Beth Barone?

  Is.

• 0:08Benito Skinner?

  Ride.

• 0:13Mary Beth Barone?

  What is that?

• 0:15Benito Skinner?

  A thunder. The issue with me doing the lightning thunder bit is that now people say that to me. And every time they say it, I have to go listen to that song. But I have, I'm here with such good news. I met him, Mr. Imagine Dragons himself. The man felt like fucking granite. And you know what he said to me? He goes, handsome. And I said handsome.

• 0:41Mary Beth Barone?

  Was he aware?

• 0:41Benito Skinner?

  He is darling. He had no idea, like the lore.

• 0:44Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 0:45Benito Skinner?

  Well, maybe, I mean, maybe someone said.

• 0:47Mary Beth Barone?

  He's played really cool.

• 0:48Benito Skinner?

  I bet someone on a tour bus said, look at this gay guy.

• 0:50Mary Beth Barone?

  And he was like, I'm writing, I'm writing right now.

• 0:53Benito Skinner?

  They were all howling. They're like, he's such a fucking loser.

• 0:57Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, they use [BLEEP] type language.

• 0:59Benito Skinner?

  Exactly.

• 1:00Mary Beth Barone?

  You're really getting into character acting again, in a way that I'm really enjoying.

• 1:06Benito Skinner?

  I think I just want to be, yeah, I think because we've been so in the edit, I'm not releasing a lot of that like energy out. So I'm kind of doing a lot of bits for you, for the people around me. It's fun. It's fun to know I still have that muscle of like doing an impression.

• 1:21Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 1:21Benito Skinner?

  That's something that I've had recently. This is very conversational. See, Chrisa?

• 1:27Benito Skinner?

  Your favorite little [BLEEP].

• 1:28Mary Beth Barone?

  It's not so scary.

• 1:32Benito Skinner?

  Good. I love watching you eat chips, crisps.

• 1:34Mary Beth Barone?

  I've been getting some questions lately.

• 1:36Benito Skinner?

  Like what?

• 1:37Mary Beth Barone?

  Saying how thick my hair looks and it's been growing. It's grown a lot.

• 1:41Benito Skinner?

  You're taking prenatal gummies.

• 1:42Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm taking prenatal gummies.

• 1:44Benito Skinner?

  Flintstone prenatals.

• 1:45Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, it's for the baby.

• 1:48Mary Beth Barone?

  It's because I started eating food.

• 1:51Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 1:51Mary Beth Barone?

  It turns out when your body is not in a caloric deficit every day, it can do the sort of like main functions that it's supposed to, like regenerating cells and things like that.

• 1:59Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 1:59Mary Beth Barone?

  And so my hair has grown so much in the last like seven or eight months because I turned a corner with recovery. And now I have beautiful hair. So I just wanted to share that and the prenatal gummies.

• 2:12Benito Skinner?

  Hug alert. It's time for a hug.

• 2:14Mary Beth Barone?

  Get over here.

• 2:17Benito Skinner?

  Step back down. There's a straddle time.

• 2:19Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, God.

• 2:20Benito Skinner?

  This is so.

• 2:20Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, from the back.

• 2:21Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, of course.

• 2:22Mary Beth Barone?

  Ow, my hair.

• 2:23Benito Skinner?

  Oh, yeah, let's rip it out now that you've got it.

• 2:25Mary Beth Barone?

  You're, we're doing the ghost, we're throwing pots today.

• 2:28Benito Skinner?

  To me, this is how we should.

• 2:29Mary Beth Barone?

  We should do the pod like this.

• 2:31Benito Skinner?

  Should we record it like this?

• 2:32Mary Beth Barone?

  This will make editing so easy because we have one track.

• 2:37Benito Skinner?

  Like this.

• 2:39Mary Beth Barone?

  When are you gonna take me for a ride on your motorcycle, Berger?

• 2:44Benito Skinner?

  Don't mock the clothes.

• 2:45Mary Beth Barone?

  You were going way too fast.

• 2:47Benito Skinner?

  And the hat is fabulous. He, he's my least favorite type of straight guy.

• 2:56Mary Beth Barone?

  Berger is everyone. Berger is the everyman, unfortunately.

• 2:59Benito Skinner?

  I know. I know.

• 3:00Mary Beth Barone?

  We don't talk enough about how heinous he is as a person.

• 3:04Benito Skinner?

  You know, what they do so expertly in that is like a man being threatened by a successful woman. It is done in such, with such, just precision.

• 3:18Mary Beth Barone?

  And she has a bob that season, too.

• 3:20Benito Skinner?

  I know. Well, of course she goes, well, no, I'm thinking about when the next season with him, where he kind of returns. That's what I.

• 3:29Mary Beth Barone?

  And she has a bob.

• 3:30Benito Skinner?

  Does she have a bob? In my head, when she's wearing that Prada outfit, she has long hair. She has a ponytail.

• 3:35Mary Beth Barone?

  That's such a good point.

• 3:36Benito Skinner?

  So that's something that a gay guy all kind of just have.

• 3:39Mary Beth Barone?

  But I think when he leaves the poster, I think she has a bob, but we'll check the, we'll check the tapes.

• 3:43Benito Skinner?

  Oh, she might.

• 3:45Mary Beth Barone?

  We'll check the tapes. Her going like this with the helmet off.

• 3:48Benito Skinner?

  I know what you mean.

• 3:49Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm not in the mood to see it played tonight.

• 3:51Benito Skinner?

  To go to the play in Brooklyn?

• 3:52Mary Beth Barone?

  You made me ride on your fucking lame ass motorcycle in a new Prada dress with a fringe bag. And you're not even gonna come to the play.

• 3:58Benito Skinner?

  She bought him a Prada shirt, too. It's like be so grateful.

• 4:03Mary Beth Barone?

  It's so me. Oh, my God. I almost went to Up and Beyond with, for a straight guy like a couple of months ago.

• 4:08Benito Skinner?

  Oh, bummer.

• 4:08Mary Beth Barone?

  And I just decided not to, but I decided not to, which was good.

• 4:11Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, you don't have to do that.

• 4:12Mary Beth Barone?

  I knew where he was gonna be for something important and I almost like sent him flowers and then I was like, no.

• 4:18Benito Skinner?

  Why would you ever do that?

• 4:20Mary Beth Barone?

  I wouldn't do that.

• 4:20Benito Skinner?

  You get flowers.

• 4:23Mary Beth Barone?

  But I don't.

• 4:23Benito Skinner?

  Well, of course.

• 4:24Mary Beth Barone?

  I've got it for myself.

• 4:25Benito Skinner?

  You get edible arrangements.

• 4:26Mary Beth Barone?

  I can buy myself flowers.

• 4:28Benito Skinner?

  I can piss my own piss. I didn't know the words, so I just kind of had to go.

• 4:33Mary Beth Barone?

  I can make my own plans or something.

• 4:35Benito Skinner?

  Yeah. And that was like a.

• 4:36Mary Beth Barone?

  I can hold my own hand.

• 4:37Benito Skinner?

  She like, she, you're feminine is when, yeah, and a Bruno Mars bit, right?

• 4:45Benito Skinner?

  You, you just ate water, by the way.

• 4:50Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 4:51Mary Beth Barone?

  I don't have it. He's so wounding.

• 4:54Benito Skinner?

  Oh, sorry.

• 4:57Mary Beth Barone?

  There's an alien spaceship ending.

• 4:58Benito Skinner?

  My girl, Chrisa's, she's making a stew. She's making ramen. She's making bulldog.

• 5:03Mary Beth Barone?

  It's pho.

• 5:05Mary Beth Barone?

  It's pho. It's simply pho. At Beverage Revolution, there's gonna be a simply.

• 5:11Benito Skinner?

  The juice generation. We are the juice generation.

• 5:16Mary Beth Barone?

  There's gonna be, there's gonna be a menu item that's pho. It's the pho juice and it's called simply pho, but there's no noodles.

• 5:24Benito Skinner?

  There's no noodles, but it's simply pho.

• 5:25Mary Beth Barone?

  It's broth. It's the, this is, this is a beverage, Beverage Revolution.

• 5:29Benito Skinner?

  Oh, my God. This is so funny you're bringing this up. I just met with someone who does, who specializes in Chinese medicine. And she goes, in the morning, maybe you have like a little bone broth on your way to a workout. And I was like, holy fucking shit, if you think I'm doing that. Literally me taking a squat and like chicken broth coming out of my like pores.

• 5:51Mary Beth Barone?

  It's the type, it's cartoonish. It's like animated.

• 5:53Benito Skinner?

  Sorry.

• 5:56Mary Beth Barone?

  When the bad spell comes out and you can see it.

• 5:59Benito Skinner?

  She's like, it'll warm up your insides. I was like, totally. I believe that all of this is good for me. I just don't think I can do it. Like.

• 6:05Mary Beth Barone?

  Wait, I'm looking at your shirt and I can't tell if it's an optical illusion, but move your, oh, it's shadow. I thought you had a huge stain from some pho on your shirt.

• 6:12Benito Skinner?

  No, but I did have a hoba oil blow up in one of my Patagonia bags. We have to actually, we have to send it to Rutgers Island. This bag will get oil on anything it looks at.

• 6:22Mary Beth Barone?

  No, send it to, um, send it to.

• 6:24Benito Skinner?

  Where?

• 6:25Mary Beth Barone?

  The trashberg or whatever.

• 6:26Benito Skinner?

  Where's that?

• 6:27Mary Beth Barone?

  I don't know. It's in the ocean somewhere. It's just a big block of trash.

• 6:30Benito Skinner?

  Oh, full of iPhone cases.

• 6:32Mary Beth Barone?

  And iPhones.

• 6:33Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, and iPhones.

• 6:35Mary Beth Barone?

  I just think the, I almost said the soldiers at Rikers. I think the prisoners at Rikers have been through enough.

• 6:40Benito Skinner?

  Oh, they don't want my bag with oil?

• 6:42Mary Beth Barone?

  And by the way, drink ticket, anyone?

• 6:45Benito Skinner?

  Hey, thanks for doing stand up tonight. You get two drinks. I always loved that.

• 6:50Mary Beth Barone?

  I give these to straight guys that come with their girlfriends because I'm like, that's cool that you did that.

• 6:53Benito Skinner?

  That's really sweet.

• 6:54Mary Beth Barone?

  I have some in there for next time.

• 6:56Benito Skinner?

  You want them to save money, though? For me.

• 6:58Mary Beth Barone?

  No, I want them to get wasted and buy their girlfriend's stuff on the internet.

• 7:01Benito Skinner?

  Come on. You're such a feminazi. Sorry.

• 7:06Mary Beth Barone?

  Don't bleep that. I'm fine with that.

• 7:07Benito Skinner?

  Do you remember that term?

• 7:09Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 7:09Benito Skinner?

  That was crazy.

• 7:10Mary Beth Barone?

  I am.

• 7:10Benito Skinner?

  I remember there was a German exchange student.

• 7:12Mary Beth Barone?

  Sorry, no affiliation with actual Nazis, feminazis, by the way.

• 7:16Benito Skinner?

  Of course. But I remember a German exchange student, she came to Boise, Idaho, like she was.

• 7:21Mary Beth Barone?

  Huge mistake.

• 7:22Benito Skinner?

  In high school, huge, like massive. And like she was not prepared for how much like.

• 7:30Mary Beth Barone?

  People didn't forget.

• 7:31Benito Skinner?

  And we're talking about it. This poor girl.

• 7:33Mary Beth Barone?

  One thing I will say, I don't know why that made me think of it, but at some point I want to ride for the lead actress in Worst Person in the World, Renata Ruffio in a space.

• 7:43Benito Skinner?

  We'll AI that to make it sound good.

• 7:45Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 7:47Benito Skinner?

  Are you coming over here, sweetie?

• 7:49Mary Beth Barone?

  She wanted to say, hey, she wanted to get in on the hug.

• 7:52Benito Skinner?

  Chrisa silently climbs over to choke me. She puts her hands over my neck.

• 7:56Mary Beth Barone?

  I do nothing, by the way.

• 7:57Benito Skinner?

  She, I still.

• 7:58Mary Beth Barone?

  I go, he had it coming.

• 7:59Benito Skinner?

  I don't even notice until she's here and I go, Chrisa?

• 8:02Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, she somehow comes out of that curtain.

• 8:05Benito Skinner?

  Chrisa, baby, my love.

• 8:07Mary Beth Barone?

  We're having fun today.

• 8:09Benito Skinner?

  Chrisa.

  Chrisa, hey, Chrisa explains it all. She gets a spinoff podcast called Chrisa Explains It All.

• 8:16Benito Skinner?

  It's, it plays right after this. It's like Drag Race.

• 8:18Mary Beth Barone?

  Exactly. It's like, it's like, um, what's it called? It was the, it was the, it's Untucked, but then it's the pit, Pit Stop?

• 8:24Benito Skinner?

  Untucked Pit Stop. Well, is Pit Stop, when does Pit Stop play? Pit Stop is the podcast, isn't it? Okay, sorry.

• 8:30Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, I forgot to say this on the last episode.

• 8:32Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, of course.

• 8:32Mary Beth Barone?

  Leila was like, I think you should do Dancing with the Stars only because I can picture you smiling and out of breath, like standing next to someone. And I said, well, it would have to be Benny.

• 8:41Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 8:41Mary Beth Barone?

  I think we should go on, but we're the, we're the couple.

• 8:43Benito Skinner?

  Do you understand that I could easily teach you the tango? Dancing the tango.

• 8:47Mary Beth Barone?

  Like this.

• 8:52Benito Skinner?

  I have like all of our themes, too.

• 8:55Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 8:57Benito Skinner?

  One of my favorite things to do as a kid is I'd, I'd do one dance move and then do like Britney at the end of a performance. It used to be, it was my favorite bit. I'd go.

• 9:10Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, after Save the Last Dance came out, I just like was for one day, I was like, well, I'll just be a ballerina, I guess.

• 9:14Benito Skinner?

  You were crumping?

• 9:15Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 9:16Benito Skinner?

  Yeah. Julia Stiles on Dancing with the Stars is like, that's joy to me.

• 9:20Mary Beth Barone?

  That's not happening.

• 9:20Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, it is. She's on Dancing with the Stars and her TikTok.

• 9:23Mary Beth Barone?

  Julia Stiles?

• 9:25Benito Skinner?

  Julia Stiles is on Dancing with the Stars. Yeah, I'm gonna start voting. Fibula and Julia Stiles, you have my, you have my vote. Like, let's do this thing.

• 9:33Mary Beth Barone?

  You have to watch, though.

• 9:34Benito Skinner?

  My, I think it was my aunt or someone, someone called my parents, so like Benny has to do it. And my thing was, I was just like, I, I think, I can't, I'm just too competitive for something like that.

• 9:47Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, I just wanna go on it and we are the pair and we get kicked off immediately because we're not good.

• 9:51Benito Skinner?

  Well, two weeks in, and who are you talking about? You think I'm gonna let you go out there and not be a 10?

• 9:56Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, I'm gonna break my foot quickly.

• 9:57Benito Skinner?

  You're gonna be a 10. I'm just throwing you around.

• 9:59Mary Beth Barone?

  No.

• 9:59Benito Skinner?

  I can, you're around my waist.

• 10:01Mary Beth Barone?

  You spin me around like a pizza.

• 10:02Benito Skinner?

  Each week, we tried to do the Dirty Dancing thing. That's kind of our only move we can do.

• 10:05Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, I watched One Night Only. I know this is all super recent. I watched One Night Only. My favorite plot point is that Callum Turner is a pizza chef.

• 10:13Benito Skinner?

  No way. He's kneading dough.

• 10:16Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, he's kneading dough.

• 10:18Benito Skinner?

  That's cool.

• 10:18Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 10:19Benito Skinner?

  Well, what's this called when you kind of like fist it?

• 10:21Mary Beth Barone?

  When you beat the pussy up.

• 10:23Benito Skinner?

  Yeah. What's this called? When I beat that pussy up?

• 10:28Benito Skinner?

  That's J-Lo in Enough.

• 10:29Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, this is one of our dance moves.

• 10:30Benito Skinner?

  I loved Enough as a kid. Keep going.

• 10:33Mary Beth Barone?

  That is one of our dance moves.

• 10:36Benito Skinner?

  We do Danny Zuko.

• 10:37Mary Beth Barone?

  You know what they say to me? They go, you, they say, 10 for you, but they dock us some points because I'm not smiling.

• 10:43Benito Skinner?

  They said, she has literally not a single happy bone in her body. And she's stiff as a board. And we go, that's the point. And they look, and the camera pans to us, we're Corpse Bride, we're the couple from Corpse Bride. And we're like, what do you mean? I thought we killed it.

• 10:58Benito Skinner?

  Dancing, the salsa.

• 10:59Mary Beth Barone?

  We do every single week as Tim Burton characters, Sally and Jack Skellington.

• 11:03Benito Skinner?

  Fully. I'm Sally, by the way. Remember when I sent you Chad Michael Murray and Hilary Duff at the Cinderella Story premiere? And I go, us, I'm Hilary.

• 11:10Mary Beth Barone?

  And I said, obviously.

• 11:11Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 11:12Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, Mac was really surprised you're letting me be a girl for Halloween this year.

• 11:15Benito Skinner?

  Just this once. But you know on Halloween Day what I'm making you be? You don't even know this. You, you've had this big thing where you're like, I'm not going out.

• 11:22Mary Beth Barone?

  I can't. I have others, I have.

• 11:24Benito Skinner?

  It's not the woman who made me come back to New York. You made me do all this stuff. You're the woman who makes all my decisions.

• 11:30Mary Beth Barone?

  This is me looking at Benny. Puppet master. Move, puppet, dance monkey.

• 11:35Benito Skinner?

  Carissa? Carissa?

  This is me. This is me. This is our friendship. Oh, this is our friendship.

• 11:41Benito Skinner?

  No, Carissa's like this.

• 11:42Mary Beth Barone?

  Benny is the puppet and I'm the puppet master.

• 11:45Benito Skinner?

  This is me like, Carissa? Um, so, I wanna go out as the, um.

  Moi moi.

• 15:32Mary Beth Barone?

  With Tinder group hangouts.

• 15:34Benito Skinner?

  Oh, come on. Don't choke on your words. It's Tinder.

• 15:37Mary Beth Barone?

  It's Tinder. The group chat can actually go somewhere, because you know how the group chat goes. Someone throws out, what's the move tonight? And it turns into 40 messages, three polls, a bunch of reactions, maybe even, what's that, a doodle?

• 15:49Benito Skinner?

  Oh, a doodle.

• 15:50Mary Beth Barone?

  And then zero decisions.

• 15:52Benito Skinner?

  So with group hangouts, you and your friends pick an activity. It can be drinks, mini golf, karaoke, motherfucker, whatever sounds like the fun move for you and your friends. Then you can find another group who are looking for the same vibe. No blind dates, no forced pairing, just your people doing something you were already gonna do, except now there's a possibility for new connections and maybe romance.

• 16:13Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm learning about this feature for the first time as well.

• 16:15Benito Skinner?

  I know, I've known about it for a while.

• 16:16Mary Beth Barone?

  You've been using it quite frequently.

• 16:18Benito Skinner?

  Of course.

• 16:18Mary Beth Barone?

  With a group chat, there's no pressure on any one person to carry the conversation. You're just planning a night out that happens to include some new faces. Tinder makes that easy to do. Here's what I love about this. Tinder said, in the words of Catherine Hudson, I'm not just one thing.

• 16:30Benito Skinner?

  Exactly. Tinder has always been where connections, wait, should I do that?

• 16:33Mary Beth Barone?

  You missed part of it. Hey, hey, hang on, hang on, hang on.

• 16:36Benito Skinner?

  Easy, Sally. Maybe you all become friends. Maybe two people hit it off. Maybe three people hit it off.

• 16:42Mary Beth Barone?

  Ooh.

• 16:43Benito Skinner?

  Either way, I, I wanna tell people to do that more during sex and dates going, ooh.

• 16:48Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm not sure I could do that, even if I wanted to.

• 16:50Benito Skinner?

  Either way, you had a good night with your friends, which was never in question.

• 16:54Mary Beth Barone?

  Tinder has always been where connections start. Now it's where you bring your friends along for the ride. Oh, yeah.

• 16:59Benito Skinner?

• 17:05Benito Skinner?

  Of course.

• 17:07Benito Skinner?

  I mean, hey, what could go wrong?

• 17:08Mary Beth Barone?

  I mean, it's not the craziest idea. We have to go to the Knicks soon and reclaim the space. A lot of LA people were coming in for the championship. I said, what are y'all doing here? Shouldn't you be at the Lakers? Oh, wait, and they're not playing anymore.

• 17:19Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, it is interesting. That was a, that was definitely a thing.

• 17:23Mary Beth Barone?

  I don't like it. I don't like it.

• 17:25Benito Skinner?

  To celebrate New York City is beautiful, but.

• 17:28Mary Beth Barone?

  Do you live here?

• 17:31Mary Beth Barone?

  Do you pay taxes here?

• 17:32Benito Skinner?

  Write about it in your magazine.

• 17:34Mary Beth Barone?

  Fruit, Fruit the Mag.

• 17:35Benito Skinner?

  Fruit.

• 17:36Mary Beth Barone?

  I feel like.

• 17:38Benito Skinner?

  Yes, honey?

• 17:39Mary Beth Barone?

  I don't want you to leave. One.

• 17:42Benito Skinner?

  Sweetie. I, my apartment's not done. I've been renovating. It's actually been so fun. I like.

• 17:47Mary Beth Barone?

  No, it hasn't.

• 17:48Benito Skinner?

  I love my hotel stays. I'm loving this era. Um, I'm having the time of my life.

• 17:54Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm just sitting back. I made the renovations take longer.

• 17:58Benito Skinner?

  I still have to. No, if you're, if you're puppeteering right now, girl, chill. I say, easy. From N'Sync, what's that, what's that video where they do that? Is that Bye Bye Bye? Where they're on the, they're the dolls, the puppet dolls?

• 18:10Mary Beth Barone?

  I was thinking of the tweet that's like, whoever has my voodoo doll.

• 18:14Benito Skinner?

  Starbit?

• 18:15Mary Beth Barone?

  No, fuck it.

• 18:16Benito Skinner?

  Hmm. I've seen both. Seen both of those. Um, so for me, I've been really into the interior space. It's like something I hadn't really delved into, because it's funny, they really tell you from the second you're born, you're either a clothes guy or an interior design guy. You can't be both. And everyone told me that. My mom, my teachers, my principal.

• 18:38Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm gonna do this bit that's just like friend that won't affirm you. I've never heard that.

• 18:42Benito Skinner?

  That is like, actually, immediately, like, so much Scorpio hate rises up in my body when people do that. It's like.

• 18:51Mary Beth Barone?

  And I go, okay.

• 18:53Benito Skinner?

  Oh, I don't feel that way.

• 18:56Mary Beth Barone?

  No, not that.

• 18:56Benito Skinner?

  I don't think I've ever had that.

• 18:57Mary Beth Barone?

  So not that.

• 18:58Benito Skinner?

  No, I don't, I don't agree.

• 19:02Mary Beth Barone?

  So anyway, what's up?

• 19:04Benito Skinner?

  I got to during, during fashion week at one point, I was at an event and I realized that I had gotten to the point where I asked, um, what offices this person's fiance worked at? No, no, no, this was like a banker, I think. But I was like, so we've actually gotten to this point in the conversation where like legally and clinically, you have to say anything. I don't even need a question. Just kind of like say something and then I'll kind of dive back in. But I am like, I kind of am having this thing where I'm like, how'd you get this far?

• 19:39Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, I was giving them the benefit of the doubt, thinking that maybe their fiance worked somewhere that would.

• 19:44Benito Skinner?

  That burp made its way over here.

• 19:45Mary Beth Barone?

  Whatever.

• 19:46Benito Skinner?

  Thank you, Carissa.

• 19:47Mary Beth Barone?

  I thought maybe.

• 19:47Benito Skinner?

  Oh, fuck, Carissa's passed out.

• 19:50Mary Beth Barone?

  I thought maybe the fiance would have worked somewhere that was relevant to you, for example, Spotify. But because you asking what office they work out in the, in the banking world, like that couldn't mean less to you.

• 20:00Benito Skinner?

  Well, and I, I try to lately, I'm doing this, like, I, I think I've always, even when I was a kid, I, I do try to ask questions that like are, I'm genuine, genuinely curious about, and I am curious with people and I'm, because I'm like, I don't want to be disengaged during this conversation, or I will dissociate and start like ruminating and worrying about things. So I am kind of like trying to get there, but if I just really don't know someone, I can't ask like, where were you when you lost your virginity?

• 20:26Mary Beth Barone?

  What's your biggest fight with your person?

• 20:27Benito Skinner?

  What's your biggest fight with your person? What's something in your closet you want to wear but can't? Like, I love asking questions like that. And at tables lately, I was at a dinner recently, I go, where were you guys on nine 11? Tell me the story.

• 20:38Mary Beth Barone?

  Let's hear it.

• 20:38Benito Skinner?

  It was amazing.

• 20:39Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, I dated a guy who said I wasn't curious enough. He said he wasn't sure I was curious enough.

• 20:44Benito Skinner?

  Who's this?

• 20:44Mary Beth Barone?

  Because I didn't look out the window when we were in Ubers.

• 20:49Benito Skinner?

  Well, maybe you're getting dizzy. Have you ever been nauseous in the back?

• 20:53Mary Beth Barone?

  Have you ever learned stuff from your phone? Hello?

• 20:55Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, come on. You turn to him and go, curiosity killed the cat. And then he starts choking on his drink.

• 21:00Mary Beth Barone?

  And I go like this.

• 21:01Benito Skinner?

  Today's about somebody killing us, something.

• 21:03Mary Beth Barone?

  Master?

• 21:04Benito Skinner?

  Spooky.

• 21:05Mary Beth Barone?

  You're a marionette.

• 21:05Benito Skinner?

  Spooky season.

• 21:06Mary Beth Barone?

  You're just my little marionette.

• 21:07Benito Skinner?

  You know, here's the thing, I'm very happy for Scorpio season to be upon us because.

• 21:12Mary Beth Barone?

  Spook.

• 21:13Benito Skinner?

  Spooky. Mary Beth's not drunk, by the way, not on drugs. She's just kind of vibing out.

• 21:18Mary Beth Barone?

  You give me a salt and vinegar chip at the beginning of an episode and there's no telling where we'll go.

• 21:23Benito Skinner?

  Lucy goosey mama.

• 21:24Mary Beth Barone?

  We're on the magic carpet.

• 21:25Benito Skinner?

  So, oh God, I just thought about us on Dancing With The Stars again.

• 21:28Mary Beth Barone?

  Wait, ready?

• 21:29Benito Skinner?

  Magic carpet, Aladdin and you're Aladdin and I'm Jasmine.

• 21:33Benito Skinner?

  I'm Rajah. I'm Rajah, full prosthetic.

• 21:36Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm the dad, I do it all my days.

• 21:38Benito Skinner?

  You're the dad and I'm Rajah.

• 21:40Mary Beth Barone?

  Cancelled. Not kicked off the show.

• 21:44Benito Skinner?

  I always think of Tim Robinson and I think we should, we did too much.

• 21:48Mary Beth Barone?

  We did too much. I don't know how to move the body.

• 21:50Benito Skinner?

  I can't raise.

• 21:52Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, that one, that one, yeah.

• 21:54Benito Skinner?

  So me.

• 21:55Mary Beth Barone?

  Get the shut off of me.

• 21:56Benito Skinner?

  Me dressed as a Starbucks mermaid, getting fucking roasted.

• 22:01Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, yeah.

• 22:02Benito Skinner?

  But yeah, I'm happy it's Scorpio season. It's like, I think there's a lot to take from it. You know, I'm here to kind of challenge the norms about Scorpios. I think people think there's like these big things of revenge and like you're really aggressive. And I think instead there's a sensitivity. Of course, there's a stinger.

• 22:20Mary Beth Barone?

  Truth creep. Your truth creep just jumped out.

• 22:23Benito Skinner?

  Oh my God, truth creep from It Ends With You.

• 22:25Mary Beth Barone?

  It ends with all of us.

• 22:26Benito Skinner?

  It ends with us. Of course. Did we talk about when we watched that? Oh, yeah, yeah.

• 22:29Mary Beth Barone?

  Of course. I mean, that was a huge atlas.

• 22:31Benito Skinner?

  I can't stop thinking about Blake Lively walking to that party with the curliest hair in the world, full vibe, smokey eye.

• 22:39Mary Beth Barone?

  Mesh, mesh, knee-high boot, stiletto boot.

• 22:44Mary Beth Barone?

  She says, yeah, I've been through stuff.

• 22:45Benito Skinner?

  There's some Duddy stuff in there.

• 22:47Mary Beth Barone?

  Totally. Oh, my God.

• 22:48Benito Skinner?

  It's a movie that Duddy definitely wants to talk about.

• 22:51Mary Beth Barone?

  And she read the book first, but she actually likes the movie more.

• 22:53Benito Skinner?

  Of course.

• 22:57Benito Skinner?

  A hundred percent. That and Hoot.

• 22:59Mary Beth Barone?

  And she used to, Hoot. She used to listen to Justin Baldoni's podcast, but she doesn't anymore.

• 23:04Benito Skinner?

  Not as much anymore. She's just busy. There's no like, there's no bad blood or anything.

• 23:09Mary Beth Barone?

  Right. Because she said she's Switzerland in that whole thing.

• 23:12Benito Skinner?

  Of course. No, she goes, me?

• 23:14Mary Beth Barone?

  Don't make me choose.

• 23:15Benito Skinner?

  Come on.

• 23:16Mary Beth Barone?

  Please.

• 23:16Benito Skinner?

  Poor Switzerland on that one, but I guess they did it to themselves.

• 23:19Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, they should have taken a side, is my thing.

• 23:21Benito Skinner?

  Of course.

• 23:22Mary Beth Barone?

  And tell that to your German exchange student.

• 23:24Benito Skinner?

  Goes without saying.

• 23:25Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah. Should we get into what we ride for?

• 23:29Benito Skinner?

  Wait, is there something else we were gonna do in the intro?

• 23:31Mary Beth Barone?

  I feel like we covered a lot of ground. You want to talk about?

• 23:33Benito Skinner?

  You don't want to talk about I renounce my wish anymore?

• 23:36Mary Beth Barone?

  I couldn't genuinely, I couldn't remember if we've already talked about this is why I wasn't sure.

• 23:40Benito Skinner?

  Well, we talked about, there was a, a renounce.

• 23:44Mary Beth Barone?

  Okay, sorry.

• 23:45Benito Skinner?

  I, so how far have you gotten with this burp thing in your life? Like, I'm actually curious. This is something, now I'm curious.

• 23:51Mary Beth Barone?

  Medically?

• 23:51Benito Skinner?

  Well, when did you start burping like this?

• 23:53Mary Beth Barone?

  Childhood. Since birth. In the words of Law Roach.

• 23:56Benito Skinner?

  But tell me, because it doesn't sound like anyone else. Have you ever heard anyone's burps like sound like this?

• 24:01Mary Beth Barone?

  What is it? Well, I just think there's a demon in my chest.

• 24:05Benito Skinner?

  My roommate, she would do this thing and it was so.

• 24:08Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, I think there's something in here and sometimes it needs to speak.

• 24:12Benito Skinner?

  But I love being with someone new when they haven't encountered it because me, I can keep going. It's like when I do a bit for you, you can really just like, you just plow on through. But you're, it's so, I think it's just, it's kind of unbelievable. Of course, a body that creates this kind of comedy and this kind of iconography, I mean, you're such a freaking slave diva.

• 24:31Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, there's a lot of chemical processes.

• 24:33Benito Skinner?

  Dagging them.

• 24:34Mary Beth Barone?

  Happening in here.

• 24:35Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 24:35Mary Beth Barone?

  And so some of them, I'm like, I don't know, do I need to see a doctor? If anyone listening knows what this could be, I have, my mom's a nurse, my dad was a doctor. I just feel like if there was something diagnosable, we would know by now. But the problem is I can't go to the doctor and burp for them like that because it doesn't happen like, just because I want it to.

• 24:51Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, he goes, you going into a doctor's office and he goes, burp for me.

• 24:55Mary Beth Barone?

  Burp for me and bend over.

• 24:56Benito Skinner?

  I love burping you.

• 24:57Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 24:58Benito Skinner?

  Can I see your pussy? That's what the doctor says.

• 25:02Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm like, what does that have to do with it?

• 25:03Benito Skinner?

  So even saying that out loud was crazy.

• 25:07Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, you love it.

• 25:08Benito Skinner?

  Oh, yeah, baby, I love that.

• 25:10Mary Beth Barone?

  So I renounce my wish was something we connected over. We watched Wonder Woman separately. This was.

• 25:15Benito Skinner?

  Wonder Woman.

• 25:16Mary Beth Barone?

  One, nineteen eighty-four.

• 25:17Benito Skinner?

  It's called Wonder Woman Soup, back at it again, the fuck?

• 25:20Mary Beth Barone?

  The fuck? This was before the depths of Gal Gadot, of what we know now about Gal Gadot.

• 25:28Benito Skinner?

  What did I say about her in Snow White? What was her line?

• 25:32Benito Skinner?

  I didn't smell yourself.

• 25:33Mary Beth Barone?

  Opinionated.

• 25:34Benito Skinner?

  Opinionated.

• 25:36Mary Beth Barone?

  We didn't know the level, the depths of her floppage that we know now. And so we did, I watched it on a plane, obviously. And I remember you had seen it and I just went like, we hadn't seen it together and we just said, remember the climax when it's just everyone saying out loud, I renounce my wish?

• 25:50Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, which, you know, just to be clear, like, there's definitely a few people, like, if I'm looking, if I'm trying to find plot holes in Wonder Woman nineteen eighty-four, which of course I'm trying to do.

• 26:00Mary Beth Barone?

  Which we are.

• 26:00Benito Skinner?

  I'm looking, I'm kind of like, I feel like some people probably really liked what they got and weren't that sad about monkey's paw, which I think is like a real thing now. It's not. Unless maybe it is. Is that taken from something else, but like where you get a gift, but then it's paw behind it is, has like, it comes at a cost?

• 26:18Mary Beth Barone?

  A better gift?

• 26:19Benito Skinner?

  No, it comes at a cost.

• 26:20Mary Beth Barone?

  What if it had a better gift?

• 26:21Benito Skinner?

  Well, that's me. That's when I go, check this out. And then I go.

• 26:25Benito Skinner?

  I got both.

• 26:27Mary Beth Barone?

  Then you have two presents.

• 26:28Benito Skinner?

  I said to you, not only do you get a gay friend, I have a script for you.

• 26:32Mary Beth Barone?

  Whoa.

• 26:33Benito Skinner?

  Isn't that cool?

• 26:34Mary Beth Barone?

  Better gift, better gift alert.

• 26:35Benito Skinner?

  And they go, and one more thing.

• 26:39Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, that would just for fun.

• 26:40Benito Skinner?

  Monkey's paw, the fuck?

• 26:41Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, so it comes at a cost, yeah.

• 26:43Benito Skinner?

  Yes, it comes at a cost. That's why everyone, it's like.

• 26:45Mary Beth Barone?

  It's the scales of justice.

• 26:46Benito Skinner?

  That's Pedro Pascal without a mustache in there, by the way.

• 26:49Mary Beth Barone?

  I know, I know. It was really early on in what we knew about what we know.

• 26:53Benito Skinner?

  Oh, my God, I love that.

• 26:54Mary Beth Barone?

  And so.

• 26:56Benito Skinner?

  Wait, fucking clip that. Holy shit.

• 26:58Mary Beth Barone?

  So anyway, this movie, it's a, it's a superhero movie and the ending is people saying out loud and it's just a supercut. I renounce my wish. And then everything is, is.

• 27:09Benito Skinner?

  Me in the middle of shooting overcompensating season two. I renounce my wish.

• 27:14Mary Beth Barone?

  But it doesn't go away. What's done is done and what's mine is mine.

• 27:19Benito Skinner?

  I, I'm kidding. It was, it was all a joy. Um, I think it's really, that film to me is Kristen Wiig with like kind of a, almost like.

• 27:29Mary Beth Barone?

  An undercut?

• 27:30Benito Skinner?

  Very twenty sixteen, semi undercut with a smokey eye on.

• 27:34Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, cool.

• 27:34Benito Skinner?

  I love that woman more than like anyone. She's, she's right above you, very, it's not much, but just a sliver above you.

• 27:42Mary Beth Barone?

  She has done more work over more years, so.

• 27:45Benito Skinner?

  Exactly. Hey, there's time to catch up. You've got this. Fall is about getting back into routine and that, oh, wait, Mary Beth is currently picking up all her makeup and Merit Beauty off the floor. See you, sweetie. Fall is all about getting back into routine and that includes finding a beauty routine that actually works for life. Merit Beauty's thoughtfully edited lineup is designed to help me get a natural polished look in just a few minutes, so I can spend less time getting ready. I love their products. I love the little foundation stick, the little perfect thing. It's like one little thing you can throw in your bag, touch up. It's also easy if you have like a little spot, just a little pinpoint. Delicious. I love you so much. Because when the calendar fills up again, five minutes is all you need to put yourself first.

• 28:28Benito Skinner?

  Their products blend and layer together seamlessly, no pilling or caking. Oh, God, they have such good blushes too. Holy shit. So you start with the Great Skin Serum for a visible, healthy look and glow. Instantly, this is delicious under makeup. Then the Minimalist. Oh, my God. Okay, the Minimalist. This stick, I use it, I use it under my eyes, on a few little areas, a few little problem areas to get my full lights. No makeup, delicious little boy beats. It works double duty as both a foundation and concealer, so you can get a quick, buildable coverage. These two together are literally going to be your best skin in just two steps.

• 29:02Benito Skinner?

  And you add a little flush balm for a natural flush from within cheek color that stays all day. I love these flush bombs. I put them, so a little tip, I put them on the top, the top, top, top, top part of my cheekbone, across my nose. And then I also put a little bit on my forehead because the sun would hit you too there. Okay, ladies? I love you so much. Do you know that? Do you understand that? And swipe on their newly launched Clean Volume Mascara. So I haven't used this, but my sister did, and she said that is literally fantastic. And she's very picky about mascaras, so take her word for it. And you're gonna get a polished look in five minutes. Make this back to school season your back to me season and take a few minutes to put yourself first with Merit. Right now, Merit Beauty is offering our listeners their signature makeup bag, which if you've seen it, it's not just a makeup bag, but it's like an accessory. You could take that to the fucking Met Gala, girls.

• 29:59Benito Skinner?

  Fuck it. Who cares? Condoms off, boys.

• 30:02Mary Beth Barone?

  Play with form, raw dog in the table today.

• 30:04Benito Skinner?

  Who cares?

• 30:07Benito Skinner?

  That's very you in the last episode.

• 30:09Mary Beth Barone?

  My impact.

• 30:10Benito Skinner?

  That's right, girl. Gag 'em. So, we both have mental illnesses.

• 30:16Mary Beth Barone?

  Different ones.

• 30:17Benito Skinner?

  Different ones. But my personal one, and don't take this from me, Miss Bisexual,

• 30:23Benito Skinner?

  is OCD. And so today, we're talking about NoCD, which has been a partner of this podcast for a very long time and has helped me. I used it, I think, in total for like 14 months and it was fantastic. And I used a lot of the things I learned there. And it truly did like fully change my life. So today, we're going to talk about it. It's an ad on camera. You don't always see these from us.

• 30:44Mary Beth Barone?

  Do you know that, I don't know if you know this, because

• 30:46Benito Skinner?

  Yes.

• 30:46Mary Beth Barone?

  But one of the hardest things about OCD is how misunderstood it is.

• 30:49Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, so I have my phone out for the talking points because I don't want to miss anything. It's misunderstood because these things you're thinking when you have OCD are ego dystonic, meaning that you don't actually want to do them. That's why they cause you so much strife. That's why you feel so sick when it happens. Like, I don't actually want to stab the people I love. Like, nothing sounds worse to me.

• 31:08Mary Beth Barone?

  Maybe sometimes you do.

• 31:09Benito Skinner?

  Nope, never.

• 31:11Benito Skinner?

  Nice try, sister. The cameras are on.

• 31:12Mary Beth Barone?

  That was a test. And you passed.

• 31:15Benito Skinner?

  You know, when he gets interviewed in Gone Girl and does like a really good job?

• 31:17Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 31:17Benito Skinner?

  That's what just happened.

• 31:18Mary Beth Barone?

  NoCD works because you know that it's not real.

• 31:21Benito Skinner?

  Exactly. Real OCD is persistent, unwanted, intrusive, and distressing thoughts that often get stuck in your mind. They tend to latch on to the things you care about most. So it's like if I had this thought, like stab Mary Beth right now, it's like, I couldn't imagine anything I'd want to do less. You know what I also get a lot is when I'm on the stairs with somebody, push, push them down the stairs.

• 31:42Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 31:42Benito Skinner?

  I don't want to do that. That sounds awful. I don't want to hurt my friends and family. There's a few people I would push down the stairs, but that's not when I'd be getting those thoughts.

• 31:49Mary Beth Barone?

  It's not your inner circle.

• 31:50Benito Skinner?

  No, that would just be a thought that goes right through me.

• 31:52Mary Beth Barone?

  Outer circle.

• 31:53Benito Skinner?

  So, a lot of people with OCD actually suffer in silence because these thoughts can be really triggering and disturbing. And also, you kind of feel like, oh my God, am I crazy? Like, am I insane? I can't tell my partner that I just thought about stabbing them. And it's also why, like, kind of usual talk therapy doesn't work when it's not specialized for OCD, because a lot of times, it'll just confirm the rumination loop when you're with a therapist who doesn't specialize in OCD. And, you know, when you're with a licensed OCD therapist, like you would be with NoCD and you'd be paired with one and you see what fits. And you can also like message them consistently. It's amazing. They know that they don't need to like alert the authorities

• 32:34Benito Skinner?

  if you have like harmful thoughts of like self harm, abuse, any of those things. They're aware that it's within the OCD bucket. Yes. So

• 32:42Mary Beth Barone?

  You don't have to suffer in silence. I just wanted to say that.

• 32:44Benito Skinner?

  Hey, thank you. And you don't either.

• 32:47Mary Beth Barone?

  I do, because my thing is different.

• 32:49Benito Skinner?

  Exactly.

• 32:49Mary Beth Barone?

  Continue.

• 32:50Benito Skinner?

  You actually do.

• 32:51Mary Beth Barone?

  There are no therapists for what I have.

• 32:53Benito Skinner?

  No. We'll keep looking, though. Good luck, right?

• 32:58Benito Skinner?

  NoCD, you'll see if they've got anything for you. Probably not.

• 33:04Benito Skinner?

  So, here's the thing. The therapy is called ERP. That's what I did.

• 33:08Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 33:09Benito Skinner?

  It's Exposure and Response Prevention. It's the most proven treatment for OCD. So for me, this meant sitting with the thoughts, living with them, exposing myself to just having them, not being afraid when like knives would get on the table, because I used to have like a stabbing fear.

• 33:26Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 33:27Benito Skinner?

  So, I just let them be there. You feel it. You let it pass. It's like what I said, feel your feelings. Just know that you're not alone in these thoughts. Also, if you want to drive off the road or having those things, but you don't actually want to, but if you're having those intrusive thoughts. But also, it can come in many forms. And I feel like, go to nocd.com, research this, talk to a doctor.

• 33:50Mary Beth Barone?

  Can I say a few things?

• 33:51Benito Skinner?

  I would really love you to.

• 33:52Mary Beth Barone?

  First, I just wanted to mention that NoCD is the world's leadest.

• 33:56Benito Skinner?

  So, they're the world's leadest.

• 33:58Mary Beth Barone?

  NoCD is the world's

• 34:00Benito Skinner?

  Hi, I'm the world's leadest.

• 34:02Mary Beth Barone?

  Leading provider of OCD treatment. And all of their licensed therapists specialize in ERP therapy. So that's one. I have three things.

• 34:08Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 34:09Mary Beth Barone?

  Two, OCD is often improperly treated. But NoCD therapists go through extensive training led by leadest, leading experts in OCD. So they know exactly what to look for and how to help. Third thing, final, before we get to the call to action.

• 34:23Benito Skinner?

  Of course.

• 34:23Mary Beth Barone?

  Therapy with NoCD is 100% virtual and covered by insurance for over 138 million Americans. It also includes support between sessions, so you're never facing OCD alone. I don't know how many people live in this country. I don't even know how many people live in this city.

• 34:37Benito Skinner?

  Has to be 138 million.

• 34:38Mary Beth Barone?

  But it has to be around 138 million.

• 34:40Benito Skinner?

  I'd say so.

• 34:40Mary Beth Barone?

  So to learn more about starting OCD therapy with NoCD, visit nocd.com and book a free 15 minute call with their team. That's N-O-C-D dot com.

  A lot will win with NoCD. NoCD, thank you. Thank you for the work you did with me. And also, thank you for supporting on the pod. I love getting your messages about those of you who have started using it and are finding that it's really helpful. Keep sending those to me. I love reading them. I love you. I love NoCD. Come on. Should we get into what we write for?

• 35:08Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, I think we should. We're writing, it's a carpool for advertising. But I wanted to say it's traditional advertising. It's not like targeted ads on like Meta.

• 35:17Benito Skinner?

  Nothing could be worse than those.

• 35:19Mary Beth Barone?

  Nothing with like unboxings and things like that. I want to talk about the ads that we grew up on and ones that like are still in our bones today.

• 35:26Benito Skinner?

  Speaking of the ads, of that come up on the algorithm, oh my God, I

• 35:30Mary Beth Barone?

  Penis enlargement?

• 35:35Benito Skinner?

  How did you know? Who told you? Okay, penis enlargement's crazy to me because it's like, I guess you'd be getting filler in the shaft. What's the head looking like?

• 35:46Mary Beth Barone?

  Can someone tell us what the head's looking like?

• 35:49Benito Skinner?

  I'm picturing it and it's, I'm just a little, that's not, how do we, how do we blend that, I would say? I'm a little scared for that. Also, I just, anything injecting into your body, I think we should probably be like a little weary of. I saw a video where someone was talking about, a doctor was talking about giving a woman a facelift and they were squeezing out filler that they thought had already dissolved. Like, it was coming out of them.

• 36:15Mary Beth Barone?

  Ew.

• 36:16Benito Skinner?

  I like was gagging for it. It was a total gag. Said mama, I keep carrying COVID. But I

• 36:27Mary Beth Barone?

  What ads are you getting?

• 36:29Benito Skinner?

  So, Sophie Pavitt, our friend, esthetician, legend, she, I was getting such bad allergies and she's like, I got you, I got the, I got the people for this. So there's this company called Wizard Wellness, which is like allergy. And they sent me a box. It was, it's unbelievable. They have an amazing nose spray. I think it's at CVS and Target, but they have like, it's non, there's no drugs in it.

• 36:54Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh.

• 36:55Benito Skinner?

  But it's like all

• 36:56Mary Beth Barone?

  It's natropathy?

• 36:57Benito Skinner?

  It's, it's natropathy. And they have, but they have this system where it's like not only, like clearing out your nostrils, but it's like helping the like microbiome of your nose. So it's like, it's not getting dry up here.

• 37:10Mary Beth Barone?

  It's the flora, my love.

• 37:11Benito Skinner?

  But it's really, it's my flora. It's my gut flora. But it's been really helpful because those drugs are, if you take them every day, some bad things can happen.

• 37:19Mary Beth Barone?

  Okay.

• 37:20Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 37:20Mary Beth Barone?

  But so it's just a little temporary?

• 37:22Benito Skinner?

  Yes. But obviously, I like looked them up because I, when she told me. And so, they came up a bit and I would say they're advertising, they're not being crazy. The amount of allergy things I'm getting are, it's, it is astronomical.

• 37:35Mary Beth Barone?

  It's an onslaught.

• 37:35Benito Skinner?

  I like Googled Salem, Massachusetts, and all I get are hotels. And I'm like, I know you're booked. I checked.

• 37:40Mary Beth Barone?

  We checked.

• 37:41Benito Skinner?

  Leave me the fuck, who goes to Salem in November?

• 37:46Mary Beth Barone?

  It's off season.

• 37:47Benito Skinner?

  Who goes to Salem in November, bro?

• 37:48Mary Beth Barone?

  With your collars bent in.

• 37:50Benito Skinner?

  Oh, sorry. That was a stylistic choice.

• 37:52Mary Beth Barone?

  I miss the days when you could turn on the tube. It was musty TV. You couldn't watch it again later if you wanted to. If you miss it, you miss it. And what's funny?

• 38:02Benito Skinner?

  You said that and I just think us looking at the panel on Dancing with the Stars and going, which one of us has the astigmatism? Acuvie. Because we'd be doing ads on TV.

• 38:12Mary Beth Barone?

  Acuvie Advanced.

• 38:13Benito Skinner?

  We'd be making money while we're on TV, by the way.

• 38:15Mary Beth Barone?

  Which one of us has an astigmatism? Well, it would be like the F1 suits.

• 38:18Benito Skinner?

  You obviously have the astigmatism. Oh yeah, we'd wear like F1 suits, totally.

• 38:22Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah. Well, they'd have branding all over them.

• 38:24Benito Skinner?

  Who's the tire guy? Michelin?

• 38:26Mary Beth Barone?

  Uh, yeah, Goodyear.

• 38:28Benito Skinner?

  Goodyear? Is he that kind of like almost Ghostbuster looking guy?

• 38:31Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 38:32Benito Skinner?

  I'd love to work with them.

• 38:33Mary Beth Barone?

  Totally. Yeah, we totally should advertise tires when we're on Dancing with the Stars.

• 38:37Benito Skinner?

  Well, to me, it's like we have a podcast called Ride. I can think of a lot of integrations.

• 38:41Mary Beth Barone?

  There's a lot of alignment and integrations. I miss the days when you could turn on the TV and you were watching ads that were extremely thoughtful. Maybe they had a voiceover from an A-list celebrity who you recognize. It's, it's advertising a product maybe you already know and love. Maybe you've never heard of before. Maybe there's jingle.

• 38:57Benito Skinner?

  Yeah. Well, they're bringing a world into it. I think, I think it's beautiful in the art of it. This is just going to be one of those things that's like, you're just going to have to believe that, man, this girl, we're good. We love you. We're neutral good. But that we're not saying like any advertising that's like making people do terrible things or all diet stuff, go to hell.

• 39:16Mary Beth Barone?

  Diet, weight loss.

• 39:18Benito Skinner?

  Go to hell.

• 39:19Mary Beth Barone?

  Diet, gambling, yeah, propaganda stuff. No, that's not what I mean.

• 39:24Benito Skinner?

  That's going to be a chop for us.

• 39:25Mary Beth Barone?

  I mean, like the Foxwoods commercial.

• 39:27Benito Skinner?

  Yo' play whips? The fuck? Oh my God. Wait, what did they say? They're like, whip's so good. You know, there's like the back and forth when they're like, this yo' play is stanky good. Like, what's that thing? Do you know what I'm talking about?

• 39:38Mary Beth Barone?

  I kind of remember.

• 39:39Benito Skinner?

  Do you know what I mean? And I used to love, there was like an orange creamsicle whips. I can taste it on my tongue right now. Oh my God.

• 39:47Mary Beth Barone?

  There was a commercial for toothpaste where it was a teacher with like her kindergarten class and she was like, what color is the grass? And they were like, green. And they're like, what color is the sky? And they were like, blue. And she's like, what color are my teeth? And they were like, off white, cream, egg? And it's like, you need better toothpaste, bitch.

• 40:04Benito Skinner?

  That's an amazing ad.

• 40:05Mary Beth Barone?

  It's such a good ad.

• 40:06Benito Skinner?

  Almost as good as Emerald for Crest toothpaste.

• 40:08Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh my

• 40:08Benito Skinner?

  Bam!

• 40:09Mary Beth Barone?

  Bam!

• 40:09Benito Skinner?

  I made my mom get me the orange flavor one. Clearly, there's an orange theme here. I love the taste. But I fucking loved Emerald. I had this thing where I was [BLEEP] with him and The Price is Right.

• 40:20Mary Beth Barone?

  Mm-hmm. So, are there any commercials? We should talk about Pepsi. We should talk about Starry Eyes Surprise.

• 40:26Benito Skinner?

  I came, I came with a few ready to go.

• 40:28Mary Beth Barone?

  I want to hear them. I want to hear them.

• 40:30Benito Skinner?

  There's a few ads that stand out to me. Okay? Verb It's What You Do is unbelievable.

• 40:35Mary Beth Barone?

  This is your brain on drugs. And this is your family! Rachel Lee Cook.

• 40:39Benito Skinner?

  Whoa, I don't even remember that.

• 40:40Mary Beth Barone?

  She's smashing an egg with a pan.

• 40:42Benito Skinner?

  I was pretty young at that time. I don't even know if I was born yet when that came out. So for me, Britney for Pepsi is as good as anything could ever be. Britney,

• 40:54Benito Skinner?

  kind of advertising anything is huge for me, but Her dancing and also doing the like through the ages Pepsi thing like where she's in the 50s and like 60, that that's just like, I get chills.

• 41:07Mary Beth Barone?

  She also did Got Milk and I think Got Milk.

• 41:10Benito Skinner?

  Got Milk was.

• 41:11Mary Beth Barone?

  I have, I have a lot of love for it.

• 41:15Benito Skinner?

  Got, of course, that's like amazing. You get that like Nickelodeon magazine. It was so cool. I love Got Milk. Mia Hamm for Got Milk. Like, how cool is that? But the thing that kind of sticks with me maybe the most is Charlize Theron saying Diamonds Are Dead. J'adore Dior.

• 41:32Mary Beth Barone?

  J'adore Dior.

• 41:32Benito Skinner?

  She doesn't want to wear anything except Dior, except J'adore Dior. That is hard for me to, I say it all the time. I think about Diamonds Are Dead where she rips it off. They're fucking dead.

• 41:45Mary Beth Barone?

  They're dead.

• 41:46Benito Skinner?

  That I think is a fabulous ad. Oh, it's like, those are, so those are maybe some of my like top, top tier. I think Flo from Progressive is like, well, that's an actor.

• 41:55Mary Beth Barone?

  Jake from State Farm?

• 41:56Benito Skinner?

  Jake from State Farm. Yeah, yeah. But I love the, um, the Verizon guy and he's kind of like, he's kind of a bitch. He's been throwing around, he's a bit of a slut.

• 42:04Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, then he left Verizon to go to a competitor.

• 42:06Benito Skinner?

  Yeah. And if you're on T-Mobile, they can't hear you now.

• 42:10Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, they can't hear you now.

• 42:12Benito Skinner?

  Period.

• 42:12Mary Beth Barone?

  So your, your service has been cut off.

• 42:15Benito Skinner?

  Every time a call drops when I'm talking to my dad, I go.

• 42:18Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 42:19Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 42:19Mary Beth Barone?

  And that's your little private joy that you have. There used to be cinematic universes. There used to be recurring characters. I mean, it's so easy. A caveman could do it. Those got a little annoying to me.

• 42:29Benito Skinner?

  Oh, I love that little Geico, the Gecko.

• 42:31Mary Beth Barone?

  The Gecko is really cute.

• 42:32Benito Skinner?

  Oh, he's so cute. He has like, he reminds me of a lot of people. He just say.

• 42:37Mary Beth Barone?

  He reminds me of a lot of people.

• 42:39Benito Skinner?

  He reminds me of a lot of people.

• 42:40Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 42:41Benito Skinner?

  Let's use that clip.

• 42:42Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 42:42Benito Skinner?

  But I love him. He's so sweet. I want to have him in my little pocket. Oh, Affleck.

• 42:47Mary Beth Barone?

  Even if you think, here's, that's a great example. Even if you think the advertising is diabolical or it's an earworm, it's still effective. And I just think like they, there used to be more thoughtful like premises behind these ads. And so there was a casino, I think, I've talked about it for sure on this podcast before, but Foxwoods Casino, which I don't gamble. But they had an amazing jingle. It was a whole song and it was a guy on piano. Take a chance, make it happen. Pop the cork, finger snap in, spin the wheel, round and round we go. I think I've sang this before.

• 43:20Benito Skinner?

  You said, don't do.

• 43:21Mary Beth Barone?

  Life is good, life is sweet. Grab yourself a front row seat. They also have a Native American museum. Let's meet and have a ball. Yeah, let's live for the wonder of it all. Meet me at Foxwoods.

• 43:32Benito Skinner?

  Period.

• 43:32Mary Beth Barone?

  Foxwoods.

• 43:34Benito Skinner?

  That's awesome.

• 43:34Mary Beth Barone?

  Like, that's like cool. They made a whole song just for a commercial and it's fucking catchy.

• 43:38Benito Skinner?

  There was a, um, there was an auto dealership in Boise that.

• 43:42Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 43:42Benito Skinner?

  There was one that was really, really fun where she was like, this guy, I think his daughter was a cheerleader. So she was in these ads that would run locally and I just remember like just being obsessed with her. She was so legendary to me because she'd be like, save, save money. It was like, oh wait, it was like, save money. And she had her like little pom poms. It was so.

• 44:05Mary Beth Barone?

  She's a performer.

• 44:06Benito Skinner?

  Of course, well, she's.

• 44:08Mary Beth Barone?

  Bob's Discount Furniture. Did you guys have that?

• 44:10Benito Skinner?

  We had more furniture for less.

• 44:13Mary Beth Barone?

  Remember also sometimes local commercials would go viral once we entered the digital age. And it was Montgomery, do you, do you see the ad for Montgomery Flea Market? Okay, it's really good. I'll play it for you later.

• 44:24Benito Skinner?

  Send it to me.

• 44:25Mary Beth Barone?

  Hey, I can't wait to show you.

• 44:26Benito Skinner?

  God, it's so hard to like now be struck with these. I guess I also want to talk about some campaigns that have really stuck with me as far as just visual ones, less commercials.

• 44:35Mary Beth Barone?

  That was the eighties, but I learned about it from I Love the Eighties. Go on.

• 44:38Benito Skinner?

  I mean, Mark Wahlberg and Kate Moss for Calvin. Then I also want to talk about the Gossip Girl ads where they were like doing, we, we use them for Ride. The mind-blowingly inappropriate and all the like bad reviews.

• 44:50Mary Beth Barone?

  Every parent's worst nightmare, nightmare.

• 44:52Benito Skinner?

  That's just like unbelievable. That's advertising. That's like being creative. That's finding something different. That's like, I think what's fun is that it is supposed to cause conversation and.

• 45:03Mary Beth Barone?

  Watercooler talk.

• 45:04Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 45:05Mary Beth Barone?

  But also this is when like trailers for things, I think just had more artistry. They were to entice you to see the movie, not to show you the whole thing.

• 45:13Benito Skinner?

  I agree.

• 45:14Mary Beth Barone?

  And TV show.

• 45:15Benito Skinner?

  There was star power. There's just something about it. It was just like, oh.

• 45:19Mary Beth Barone?

  Big block letters. You know what I mean?

• 45:21Benito Skinner?

  Of course.

• 45:22Mary Beth Barone?

  Like, like sound design. So that's all I want to say about that.

• 45:26Benito Skinner?

  Thank you, honey. I agree.

• 45:27Mary Beth Barone?

  Other print ads that really stuck with me, gosh, it's just so hard because we're bombarded with so many of them every day.

• 45:32Benito Skinner?

  I know. It's like, I've seen so many, but like, I know that after this, I'll think of some and maybe we'll just do like a slideshow in a couple of years.

• 45:38Mary Beth Barone?

  In a couple of years, two to three.

• 45:40Benito Skinner?

  Ride the pod.

• 45:40Mary Beth Barone?

  Once your, hey, once your apartment's done being renovated.

• 45:43Benito Skinner?

  Jennifer Aniston for Smart Water.

• 45:44Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, wow.

• 45:45Benito Skinner?

  I fucking love Jennifer Aniston for Smart Water. I think it's in Dea now. And I loved Rihanna for, um, Vita Coco, Vita Coco.

• 45:52Mary Beth Barone?

  I love when I hear Jon Hamm do a voiceover for a car. You know what I mean?

• 45:56Benito Skinner?

  See, I'm a Viola Davis for Delta kind of girl.

• 45:58Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, that's huge.

• 45:59Benito Skinner?

  They go skip the ad and I go, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I want to hear this all the way through.

• 46:04Mary Beth Barone?

  If I never saw Tom Brady's face again, I'd be okay.

• 46:08Benito Skinner?

  Oh my God. You know, it's so funny. I got to tell Faye about him kissing his son twice.

• 46:12Mary Beth Barone?

  That's awesome.

• 46:13Benito Skinner?

  He's so me.

• 46:14Mary Beth Barone?

  It's awesome to be able to share that.

• 46:15Benito Skinner?

  Kiss me once and he goes, kiss me again. So me.

• 46:19Mary Beth Barone?

  He has like a web series on Delta, like about like trying stuff.

• 46:24Benito Skinner?

  We got to get right on Delta. Carissa, come on.

• 46:27Mary Beth Barone?

  It's like, it's like Tom Brady tries stuff, you know, and so.

• 46:32Benito Skinner?

  Anything Megan Thee Stallion's in, I'll buy. Duncan has been having a lot of fun lately.

• 46:36Mary Beth Barone?

  Duncan's been playing with.

• 46:37Benito Skinner?

  From Sabrina to, I believe Megan Thee Stallion did Duncan, right?

• 46:40Mary Beth Barone?

  And I think Ciara did Duncan.

• 46:43Benito Skinner?

  Duncan is like, and then, and Ben Affleck doing Duncan is really funny to me.

• 46:47Mary Beth Barone?

  They're smart for that. I like when the brands are in on it a little bit.

• 46:50Benito Skinner?

  I think so too. That's fun. I want to think of some big fashion campaigns that I remember seeing and being like, wow.

• 46:54Mary Beth Barone?

  Steve Madden with the tiny, like the.

• 46:56Benito Skinner?

  Oh my God, yeah.

• 46:58Mary Beth Barone?

  Curvaceous.

• 46:59Benito Skinner?

  The Bratz dolls of it all. That was fabulous. Drew Barrymore for Miu Miu.

• 47:04Mary Beth Barone?

  Barbie, I enjoy being a girl.

• 47:06Benito Skinner?

  Oh, I haven't seen that.

• 47:08Mary Beth Barone?

  It's like a huge, like, it's like, it's a movement. Well, it was from when we were children.

• 47:12Benito Skinner?

  It's a revolution.

• 47:13Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 47:14Benito Skinner?

  Totally.

• 47:14Mary Beth Barone?

  Also, um, Muzzy that would teach you French, juste, juste oui, la joie de vie. It was like tapes you could get as a kid and you could learn French.

• 47:22Benito Skinner?

  I do remember that. Hooked on Phonics was a big thing and my sisters would always say, Benny, Hooked on Phonics, like making fun of me.

• 47:28Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, that was also when, so Disney only, no comment. Disney only did ads for Disney stuff on Disney, but then Nickelodeon, you had probably like the CM10 ads for like Nerf guns and Star, Star, Starlight.

• 47:39Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 47:40Mary Beth Barone?

  Starlight, what was it called? Bright, Bright Light or something?

• 47:42Benito Skinner?

  Oh, yeah, yeah, I know what you're talking about.

• 47:44Mary Beth Barone?

  Thingies in and you make designs.

• 47:45Benito Skinner?

  Oh, I loved, oh my God, so true. Or the like tracing thing, or there was something where you could like, almost like make a Jackson Pollock.

• 47:51Mary Beth Barone?

  Or you could go.

• 47:53Benito Skinner?

  And they were huge. Did any of that shit work?

• 47:56Mary Beth Barone?

  Big bubbles.

• 47:56Benito Skinner?

  Did anyone have those?

• 47:57Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, I don't know because that's not the type of thing my mom would ever let me do.

• 48:01Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, same. That wasn't something we ordered. We, you know, my mom was like strictly dolls and these, and they better look like fucking horrors, by the way.

• 48:10Mary Beth Barone?

  And they do, and they do.

• 48:11Benito Skinner?

  And they did. Check.

• 48:13Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, obviously this ties into my with Mad Men, which I find to be such an impressive program because not only were they creating these incredibly rich backstories for all the characters, but then they were taking brands and making really good ad campaigns for these real brands that weren't ever actual campaigns. So it's just like, he came up with this tagline for Jaguar. It's really powerful prose. There's like a whole Heinz Beans storyline. There's Hershey's, there's.

• 48:39Benito Skinner?

  Can I say something to you really quick?

• 48:41Mary Beth Barone?

  What?

• 48:41Benito Skinner?

  Frost, frost yourself. Just frost yourself. Diamonds are for everyone. And when she's at the table and goes, diamonds are for everyone.

• 48:57Benito Skinner?

  So anyone can have a dime. That's taking away its special teeth. You know what I'm talking about?

• 49:03Mary Beth Barone?

  Totally.

• 49:04Benito Skinner?

  And Shalom Harlow's looking at Matthew like, you are so fucking dumb. Good luck getting this case.

• 49:09Mary Beth Barone?

  Good luck booking, landing this client.

• 49:10Benito Skinner?

  I love, um, that being like, just that's one of the jobs someone does in New York. They do advertising for a magazine and it's probably like GQ or something. That's like in so many movies.

• 49:20Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, you have to move units and I will.

• 49:23Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 49:24Mary Beth Barone?

  I, I also think it's probably frustrating for people that come from a legitimate ad, advertising background to watch, maybe sort of like how it's become for like, anyone can do an ad now. But it's like, anyone can do an ad, but not anyone can do a great ad.

• 49:40Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, you can do an ad, but you can't do Benny drama for Sally Hansen Pride Collection.

• 49:45Mary Beth Barone?

  You couldn't do Judge Beauty.

• 49:47Benito Skinner?

  Fucking luck.

• 49:48Mary Beth Barone?

  You couldn't do J'adore.

• 49:50Benito Skinner?

  J'adore. Diamonds are fucking dead. What does that even mean? I love it. It's like, I don't even want to wear diamonds. I just want to be in the, oh, you know, it was such a cute one. Monsieur Cherie with Natalie Portman.

• 50:02Mary Beth Barone?

  I love that one. I love that one.

• 50:05Benito Skinner?

  That's such a good one. Uh, and then Dua Lipa, libre, you know?

• 50:10Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 50:11Benito Skinner?

  I mean, fragrance is so fun.

• 50:12Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, because they're little movies.

• 50:14Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 50:15Mary Beth Barone?

  Thank you to all the people that came up with these beautiful ads. Your legacy is very much alive and well.

• 50:20Benito Skinner?

  There's art in all of them. I think there's something beautiful. I mean, the absolute hunk. I don't think that was, was that a real, I mean, it was definitely.

• 50:27Mary Beth Barone?

  Absolute had great ads.

• 50:29Benito Skinner?

  Absolute was obviously, they paid for that. I love their new one with Madonna. Absolute. That's like, that's just, it was like absolute icon. Also, you know, there's great ones, MAC, Viva Glam with RuPaul. That's like, oh, I'm so glad I remembered that one. That is like what I'm fucking talking about. And I remember Viva Glam, it would be like Fergie or Christina Aguilera in the mall. And I'd be like, those are my people, by the way.

• 50:50Mary Beth Barone?

  Two all beef patties, special sauce lettuce cheese and something, something on a sesame seed bun. Do you get that? And it's ba da ba ba ba. I'm loving it.

• 51:00Benito Skinner?

  I'm loving it. Isn't, um, I'm loving it made by Pharrell. He came up with that and it's just in Timberlake's voice, I think.

• 51:06Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 51:06Benito Skinner?

  This is going to ruin the world tour. I think about so consistently.

• 51:09Mary Beth Barone?

  And then he goes, what tour?

• 51:11Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 51:12Mary Beth Barone?

  And I think we should end there.

• 51:14Benito Skinner?

  I agree.

• 51:15Mary Beth Barone?

  We don't do ride or die when we do a carpool, but we're just happy to have you.

• 51:18Benito Skinner?

  This woman and for advertising.

• 51:20Mary Beth Barone?

  Next week, Halloween.

• 51:21Benito Skinner?

  Spooky. I'd say, so we said we weren't going to do it, but I found the, I found my way in the middle.

• 51:28Mary Beth Barone?

  Found the perfect thing.

• 51:29Benito Skinner?

  Never had you say yes so fast to something in my life.

• 51:32Mary Beth Barone?

  It was if not just yes, it was a fuck yes.

• 51:33Benito Skinner?

  Said it with your whole body.

• 51:35Mary Beth Barone?

  Said it with verb. I can't wait.

• 51:37Benito Skinner?

  This year I'm going to be a woman. Wait, because I wasn't last year. I was a fox. I was a male fox.

• 51:43Mary Beth Barone?

  In full prosthetics.

• 51:45Benito Skinner?

  That, I can't believe we managed to do that. I'm not in prosthetics this year.

• 51:50Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, we don't know that yet. We're not sure.

• 51:53Benito Skinner?

  Where's my Sally? Me as Jack Skellington in Dancing With The Stars. Where's my Sally? Dancing the Waltz.

• 52:04Mary Beth Barone?

  We love you fringe podcasts. Have a good day, everyone. Have a good week.

• 52:08Benito Skinner?

  And as Carissa said, love you.

• 52:18Benito Skinner?

  Oh, my exit.

• 52:19Mary Beth Barone?

  Benny babe, eyes on the road. Benny, go.

• 52:26Mary Beth Barone?

  Ride, ride.
