  Hey, can you come pick me up? Yeah, what's wrong? Nothing. Are you sure? Yeah, no, I just need a ride. Ride, ride. Oh, my God. So why, I just wanna have fun. Start your engines. I care.

• 0:30Benito Skinner?

  I'm Benito Skinner.

• 0:31Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm Mary Beth Brown.

• 0:33Benito Skinner?

  And this.

• 0:33Mary Beth Barone?

  Is.

• 0:34Benito Skinner?

  Ride.

• 0:39Benito Skinner?

  Amelia.

• 0:43Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm gonna start eating into the mic again.

• 0:45Benito Skinner?

  I just told Mary Beth to stop eating in the mic.

• 0:47Mary Beth Barone?

  Benny just flipped out. He just threw a table and a TV screen.

• 0:51Benito Skinner?

  That was not a flip out.

• 0:52Mary Beth Barone?

  No, he was just like.

• 0:52Benito Skinner?

  Don't do this to me.

• 0:54Mary Beth Barone?

  He was like, can you stop eating into the microphone?

• 0:55Benito Skinner?

  I'm sorry, I can't.

• 0:57Mary Beth Barone?

  But when you hear me eating into the mic, that's the same thing I hear when you sing that. Do you get that?

• 1:02Benito Skinner?

  And you know what? It's funny. I watched the video of that woman singing Amelia Perez. I have no idea what was going on.

• 1:07Mary Beth Barone?

  At the Oscars?

• 1:08Benito Skinner?

  Did they win for, what did they win for?

• 1:09Mary Beth Barone?

  I think they won best song.

• 1:11Benito Skinner?

  Oh, and then she had to hit him with it.

• 1:13Mary Beth Barone?

  They tried to start a sing-along. It's from what I understand.

• 1:15Benito Skinner?

  She had to show off the chords.

• 1:17Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 1:17Benito Skinner?

  The old chords, the old, the old VCs.

• 1:19Mary Beth Barone?

  I didn't see it, but I don't wanna hear it, certainly. And yet, you have been sort of doing it sort of nonstop. So I welcome the make me tudo era. Cause that's what, we just flipped into that when we were in the parking lot.

• 1:34Benito Skinner?

  I'mma let you make me tudo. That was just a quick little thing I did for Mary Beth this morning. No, I don't know why hearing you eat just now. Sometimes I love hearing people eat. Like, I watch ASMR videos of it, but I have to electively choose to hear it. I've just been in a lot of editing booths and like people quietly eating chips. And I'm just like.

• 1:55Mary Beth Barone?

  While you edit?

• 1:56Benito Skinner?

  Well, yeah, there's like snacks. I mean, we're kind of like in the editing bay all day. So I'm like, of course, I want you guys to have your snackies and stuff. Just like, don't fucking get that shit near me.

• 2:05Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 2:05Benito Skinner?

  In a way, is kind of how I'm feeling.

• 2:07Mary Beth Barone?

  And that's fair.

• 2:08Benito Skinner?

  It's almost like I, yeah.

• 2:09Mary Beth Barone?

  I triggered you in a lot of ways.

• 2:11Benito Skinner?

  Well, I feel it in my bones, if that makes sense.

• 2:13Mary Beth Barone?

  No, yeah. And I think while we're on the topic of eras, you had sort of an explosive introduction to an era last night, which was where you told me to say different Vogues, different editions of Vogue. And you did the pose that you would do for the Vogue.

• 2:27Benito Skinner?

  Well, I showed you, I've got that international smile.

• 2:29Mary Beth Barone?

  Right.

• 2:30Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 2:30Mary Beth Barone?

  And, and on that note, thanks for bringing that up. Okay, so I don't want to bring up the Reddit on every episode, but someone did post being like, I'm a barony butt, dot, dot, dot. Katy Perry frown face. And I'm like, okay. If we quote a song, or if we talk about a person, we're not condoning their politics. We're not saying we agree with everything they've ever done. We were singing a song that was very popular.

• 2:55Benito Skinner?

  Can't stress enough, there's kind of no one, except you, who I, and Terry sometime, Terry, like woman, and I don't really do that bit anymore.

• 3:03Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 3:03Benito Skinner?

  Whoa.

• 3:04Mary Beth Barone?

  It's gone the way of the clog.

• 3:05Benito Skinner?

  It's gone the way of the clog. Hey, I'll bring it back right now. Come on, old school. But yeah, it's like, even a candidate, like when I'm voting, I'm like, no, I don't agree with everything they believe in. Like, that would be insane, in fact.

• 3:16Mary Beth Barone?

  So we can't have a podcast if everything we say is going to be dissected in that way. There are times when we're wrong and we'll totally own up to that.

• 3:25Benito Skinner?

  Totally.

• 3:25Mary Beth Barone?

  And that's what's great about the pod is we can, like, address concerns all the time in real time.

• 3:30Benito Skinner?

  I know you're sitting at dinner with your grandparents, and I have yet to meet a grandparent who wasn't sketchy as hell. Come on, don't give me that. I know your dad's saying some weird shit at the dinner table. And you're still posing with him for the Christmas card. So, hey.

• 3:43Mary Beth Barone?

  Were your parents were imperfect.

• 3:44Benito Skinner?

  You don't judge me, I don't judge you.

• 3:46Mary Beth Barone?

  I don't judge you. And we have a lot to learn. But I don't want to be scared to bring up the song Colors of the Wind that you played me in the car yesterday, because people are going to say that Pocahontas, the movie from Disney, was insensitive, inaccurate, and ultimately, like, sent a bad message. I just want to be able to talk about certain things without having to do a disclaimer. Again, certain things go without saying. Give us the benefit of the doubt.

• 4:07Benito Skinner?

  You know, it's what you, Terry, for a while, was like, it sounds like legal jargon before you talk about something.

• 4:11Mary Beth Barone?

  We have no choice.

• 4:12Benito Skinner?

  We have no choice.

• 4:13Mary Beth Barone?

  We have no choice.

• 4:14Benito Skinner?

  Darling, but here's the thing, I do want to talk about Colors of the Wind, and then I'm going to get into Vogue Singapore. Hey, look at that range, Jackson.

• 4:23Mary Beth Barone?

  Fuck.

• 4:24Benito Skinner?

  So Disney Plus was like, do you want to watch Pocahontas? And this was like, one of my favorite movies as a kid. Of course, just, I can't even get into the levels of fuckery it is. But what I can say is that Colors of the Wind, play that shit in the car and have your kids sing it back to you. Oh, my God.

• 4:41Mary Beth Barone?

  Some really big messages.

• 4:43Benito Skinner?

  You think you own whatever land you land on?

• 4:45Mary Beth Barone?

  Mm hmm.

• 4:45Benito Skinner?

  Are you kidding me?

• 4:47Mary Beth Barone?

  My favorite line is, it is.

• 4:50Benito Skinner?

  The Bobcat Grins.

• 4:51Mary Beth Barone?

  You think the only people who are people are the people who look and think like you. But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger in their hokas, you'll learn things you never knew, you never knew.

• 5:02Benito Skinner?

  How high does a sycamore grow? If you cut it down.

• 5:06Mary Beth Barone?

  If you cut it down.

• 5:06Benito Skinner?

  You'll never know.

• 5:08Mary Beth Barone?

  Stop.

• 5:08Benito Skinner?

  The library is open.

• 5:10Mary Beth Barone?

  The library is open. Reading is fundamental, John Smith.

• 5:12Benito Skinner?

  John Smith, fucker.

• 5:15Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, so in.

• 5:16Benito Skinner?

  That's all I want to say. I just think that song is incredible.

• 5:18Mary Beth Barone?

  And that's a great example of, we love the song and the song has a lot of really great messages. We're not saying that the movie is a perfect film.

• 5:24Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, as a kid, I did think it opened my eyes to quite a few things. I mean, if that song is like ingrained in my brain, I feel good about that.

• 5:32Mary Beth Barone?

  And you, you ended up with a nature girl, a horse girl. So maybe it's because of that.

• 5:37Benito Skinner?

  And he's, oh, he showed me all the colors of the wind.

• 5:39Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, I love that.

• 5:41Benito Skinner?

  Wait, I'm just thinking of the Bobcat Grins. Also, there's like otters in it, too. It's like Pocahontas, there are easier ways.

• 5:47Mary Beth Barone?

  There are easier ways, Disney.

• 5:49Benito Skinner?

  She's a great heroine. Okay, so Vogue, Singapore. There was just this thing, I knew that I had hurt you by singing Amelia.

• 5:56Mary Beth Barone?

  You offered me an olive branch.

• 5:58Benito Skinner?

  It's just, it's, it's hard.

• 6:00Mary Beth Barone?

  I have, here, here's what I'll say on that, too.

• 6:02Benito Skinner?

  You get one bite every time I, every time I sing it, you get one bite into the mic.

• 6:06Mary Beth Barone?

  This is my coffee. And by the way, we're not saying we liked the movie. I didn't watch it.

• 6:11Benito Skinner?

  Hey, can I just say, of course, we're not saying we liked that movie.

• 6:14Mary Beth Barone?

  Can I say, out of respect for the trans community as an ally, I did not watch the film. And if anybody wants to tell me that watching it makes me a better ally, I absolutely will. What I gathered online from the discourse was to not watch it.

• 6:26Benito Skinner?

  Yes, so I knew I had to make it up to you before we watched, we need to talk about Kevin.

• 6:30Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, and we meant to start the episode with that.

• 6:32Benito Skinner?

  Oh, yeah, wait, we need to talk about Kevin.

• 6:35Mary Beth Barone?

  So Kevin.

• 6:37Benito Skinner?

  Hmm, that film is unbelievable. Tilda Swinton, you are such, oh, God, and can I just say, we don't agree with anything Ezra Miller does.

• 6:45Mary Beth Barone?

  Do you see what a fucking?

• 6:47Benito Skinner?

  How high does the sycamore grow? If you cut it down?

• 6:52Mary Beth Barone?

  You know the game Minesweeper? It's sort of, that's like having a podcast.

• 6:55Benito Skinner?

  No, it is.

• 6:56Mary Beth Barone?

  It's just you can't walk without stepping in shit. It's so hard.

• 6:59Benito Skinner?

  It's like playing lava at the mall and the tiles run out.

• 7:01Mary Beth Barone?

  Literally. So, yeah.

• 7:03Benito Skinner?

  Think about it.

• 7:04Mary Beth Barone?

  Tilda, Tilda, we love you. Oh, my God. That movie, I had never, I had never seen it. Which is so weird because I really like fucked up movies. And I, I think I just like heard so much about it that I, I don't know. I felt like I'll watch it one day. And then last night was the day that I watched it.

• 7:20Benito Skinner?

  I just think it's brilliant. I think any movie like that, that shows you a different side and a different story of the human condition. It really is, oof. The, the biggest trigger warning ever. I would definitely read what it's about before you watch, but holy shit. Yeah. So we were about to watch that and I just thought I gotta cheer my girl up. So I did this thing, kind of inspired by, is it Coco Rocha? The model?

• 7:42Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 7:42Benito Skinner?

  I, I can't, her flair was definitely there. Cause boy, does she do it with a chair.

• 7:47Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, my God.

• 7:48Benito Skinner?

  You've seen that video where she's-

• 7:49Mary Beth Barone?

  She doesn't give a damn what people think.

• 7:50Benito Skinner?

  Shapes, new shapes. So I just said Vogue Singapore. And then I just went boom. And I gave you this pose and you immediately knew it was exactly how I'd pose in the pages.

• 8:00Mary Beth Barone?

  You jumped up and you just, you kicked your legs out a little bit.

• 8:03Benito Skinner?

  Mm-hmm. And I turned to you, hands on hips.

• 8:05Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 8:06Benito Skinner?

  Boom. That's the shot. One, two, three, boom. Yeah.

• 8:10Mary Beth Barone?

  Then I hit you with Hong Kong.

• 8:12Benito Skinner?

  Mm-hmm.

• 8:13Mary Beth Barone?

  And then Australia.

• 8:14Benito Skinner?

  Australia was so good. It was covering the nuts and jumping up.

• 8:17Mary Beth Barone?

  And Canada.

• 8:18Benito Skinner?

  Oh, Canada was, um, I grabbed my arm and it's more sensitive. Give me another. I could do this forever.

• 8:23Mary Beth Barone?

  I can't even remember what I threw out last night. France, maybe?

• 8:26Benito Skinner?

  Uh, we never did France. I haven't shown you France. Korea was, I got up on the fireplace and turned back. So it would be kind of an action shot, very in motion. And you know that they would kind of do that thing where it's like almost a little blurry with my movement.

• 8:37Mary Beth Barone?

  Totally.

• 8:38Benito Skinner?

  Yeah. Oh, Spain, it had a flamenco-ness.

• 8:41Mary Beth Barone?

  Totally. I mean, every country I threw out, you totally nailed the pose. And I was just like, well, when do we get to see it? Cause I do need to see it.

• 8:47Benito Skinner?

  And you're gonna see it.

• 8:48Mary Beth Barone?

  I need to see it.

• 8:49Benito Skinner?

  Her hands kind of like sends me, I think that would just be portrait me down the barrel at you, the viewer. I'm serious.

• 8:55Mary Beth Barone?

  I look forward to flipping the pages of Vogue Singapore.

• 8:58Benito Skinner?

  Did like.

• 8:58Mary Beth Barone?

  That was Hong Kong.

• 8:59Benito Skinner?

  Oh, Hong Kong. Yeah. No, that was Singapore. Hong Kong actually was the kick up.

• 9:04Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, that's right. Singapore was you sort of doing like both your legs are bent.

• 9:09Benito Skinner?

  I just thought about Vogue China. I went full like.

• 9:12Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, yeah.

• 9:13Benito Skinner?

  Oh, my God. I went elbows forward, elbows leading with elbows and like down really scolding. And I probably have big eyebrows for it.

• 9:19Mary Beth Barone?

  And making your back into a C shape.

• 9:21Benito Skinner?

  Of course.

• 9:22Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 9:22Benito Skinner?

  Of course. Oof. Well.

• 9:24Mary Beth Barone?

  It was a powerful exercise.

• 9:26Benito Skinner?

  Oh, wait. And British Vogue. Full smile.

• 9:29Mary Beth Barone?

  British Vogue, full smile.

• 9:30Benito Skinner?

  Full smile turned. Hand on chest.

• 9:33Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 9:33Benito Skinner?

  Wow.

• 9:34Mary Beth Barone?

  Wow. I do have the video. I feel like you're not gonna let me post it, but.

• 9:37Benito Skinner?

  Well, I had a sulfur mask on and I have to say.

• 9:39Mary Beth Barone?

  But people want to see that.

• 9:40Benito Skinner?

  Well, I'm fine with that.

• 9:41Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 9:42Benito Skinner?

  So here's the thing. Sulfur, shout out Sophie Pavitt. She was like, I've been trying to get my skin back. I obviously had dermatitis for about 10 years.

• 9:50Mary Beth Barone?

  You want to tell them what what happened, though?

• 9:52Benito Skinner?

  What?

• 9:52Mary Beth Barone?

  That it wasn't dermatitis?

• 9:55Benito Skinner?

  So here's the thing, and I hate to say this because healthcare, I know it's a bitch. And you'll call a dermatologist's office and be like, hey, can you get me in? And they're like, yeah, we have an opening.

• 10:04Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, just kidding. We're totally fucked for the next 10 years. I guess you'll have good skin next decade.

• 10:11Benito Skinner?

  Nina Drama's running it.

• 10:13Mary Beth Barone?

  She's the receptionist.

• 10:14Benito Skinner?

  Hang up. Good luck.

• 10:15Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 10:15Benito Skinner?

  I did get in to see a dermatologist and I had, I believe it's called. Seborr-?

• 10:21Mary Beth Barone?

  Seborr-?

• 10:23Benito Skinner?

  Rosacea.

• 10:23Mary Beth Barone?

  Rosacea.

• 10:24Benito Skinner?

  And so that kind of, that shook me to my core. The library was open. He was like, boom, boom, this is what it is. Like, this is what you've been doing. This is wrong. But I will say, you guys, it's been doing less. It's been simplifying. And you can't tell by my bathroom, but I'm only using a couple of products.

• 10:38Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, that's why there's so many in there because they're not getting used.

• 10:42Benito Skinner?

  Mm hmm. Yeah, I'm gonna put them all in a box and.

• 10:44Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 10:44Benito Skinner?

  Give them to my loved ones. Hey, here's some used face products. I love you guys.

• 10:48Mary Beth Barone?

  And I didn't, they didn't work for me, but maybe they'll work for you.

• 10:51Benito Skinner?

  Sorry, I've been so distant. But here's the thing. I have been using this sulfur mask. It's De La Cruz sulfur mask. You can literally get it for like $8 and I use it 10 minutes a night. Are you seeing the results?

• 11:03Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm seeing it's, I mean, I've never seen your skin like this, truth be told.

• 11:07Benito Skinner?

  It's been a while.

• 11:08Mary Beth Barone?

  It's fabulous.

• 11:09Benito Skinner?

  I would have loved this a while ago, but you know what? Sometimes you find it and it's working. So I'm gonna go with this for a while. If I change anything, I'll let you know.

• 11:15Mary Beth Barone?

  Keep us posted.

• 11:17Benito Skinner?

  Oh, and I had something to say that was really, it just, it's one of those things that I heard and I, I thought to myself, I can't believe I haven't said this on Ride or started an episode with this. I don't got a single problem with provocative. Gracie Abrams said that.

• 11:32Mary Beth Barone?

  Mm hmm.

• 11:32Benito Skinner?

  And maybe that's Ride season two.

• 11:35Mary Beth Barone?

  I think it's, it's definitely Ride season two.

• 11:37Benito Skinner?

  Very scotch, child. I don't got a single problem with provocative.

• 11:42Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, I don't either.

• 11:43Benito Skinner?

  What I would do.

• 11:45Mary Beth Barone?

  See, come see my stand up.

• 11:46Benito Skinner?

  Do a media clip that.

• 11:47Mary Beth Barone?

  Come see my stand up.

• 11:48Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 11:48Mary Beth Barone?

  You know what I mean?

• 11:49Benito Skinner?

  Speaking of songstresses. Amelia.

• 11:52Mary Beth Barone?

  No.

• 11:53Benito Skinner?

  Sorry.

• 11:53Mary Beth Barone?

  One thing I want to say, so before we get into the hitchhike, so this is the hitchhike episode. Welcome to the finale of Ride Heritage Month. We didn't have a guest. We just said, you know what? We're gonna keep it pared down. We're gonna keep it mom and dad.

• 12:06Benito Skinner?

  It's family.

• 12:06Mary Beth Barone?

  It's family.

• 12:07Benito Skinner?

  We have some really fun guests coming next season. That's what we're thinking, maybe more of like a kickoff. Heritage feels like for us, hey, this one's for us.

• 12:15Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 12:15Benito Skinner?

  First take was for you, second take, this for us.

• 12:17Mary Beth Barone?

  We didn't want to just get a guest that felt random because we, we honestly, the, the big feedback that we got was don't get guests that feel random. So we're not gonna do that.

• 12:26Benito Skinner?

  Or just, don't you fucking dare get guests in that room. But we, we're like, okay, it just might be fun to have like a couple.

• 12:31Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 12:32Benito Skinner?

  But yeah, we've never, it's never been a guest based pod. Imagine, I have so much respect for people who do a guest every week. The research.

• 12:39Mary Beth Barone?

  And then just like thinking like, what if they're a bad guest? And then the people who listen are gonna hate them forever.

• 12:44Benito Skinner?

  How do you stand that many people? It's like what I was saying about, um, I got asked on the red carpet at Vanity Fair, who I was, who I was excited to meet inside. First thing that came into my mind, estheticians. I'm like, I wonder if there are any estheticians in there. And who'd you say? Peter Thomas Roth?

• 12:58Mary Beth Barone?

  I said, is Peter Thomas Roth in there?

• 13:00Benito Skinner?

  Was Dr. Dennis, Dennis Gross in there?

• 13:01Mary Beth Barone?

  Is Dr. Jart here? Ola Henriksen? Cause I'd love to just shake their hand.

• 13:06Benito Skinner?

  Cause whoa, I'm getting sweaty thinking about that. Meeting, meeting my heroes.

• 13:09Mary Beth Barone?

  Your heroes. So right now, as we record this, we have not finished Ride Core Values, but we will post on the day that this comes out.

• 13:17Benito Skinner?

  Yes.

• 13:17Mary Beth Barone?

  Just to give you a hint of what we're thinking. So number one, do what you love as long as it's not hurting anyone. Obviously.

• 13:24Benito Skinner?

  That's so good.

• 13:25Mary Beth Barone?

  Then love is the most powerful thing in the universe. Then we believe in science.

• 13:30Benito Skinner?

  Vaccines.

• 13:31Mary Beth Barone?

  And then shortly thereafter, we believe in ghosts. So that's just a little bit what we're working on.

• 13:36Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, but it's so funny. Women and queer people on carpets just absolutely kills me. Straight men get asked, hey handsome, hey stud, you got any farts for us? And then for us, they're like, what do you think of the political landscape right now? And I'm like, just to be clear, I'm at a lip gloss event. But hey, let's get into it.

• 13:54Mary Beth Barone?

  For straight guys, it's like they'll go viral for making eye contact with the interviewer. Like Andrew Garfield serves up smoldering eye contact with red carpet interviewer. And then it's like Benny Drama, Benny Drama has misstep discussing the repeal of Oberfell. On the red carpet? What? That's not what it's for. It's for fun. We're having fun.

• 14:14Benito Skinner?

  I'm like, time and place, you're hitting me. I just got, I got asked this question that was so deep and I was like, I can't stress enough that the collar of my shirt is choking me.

• 14:22Mary Beth Barone?

  It's getting tighter.

• 14:23Benito Skinner?

  And yeah, and I'm like, I, the, the lights are making me physically sick. And I really want some like beef jerky right now, or just a diet coke. So I don't know if I can answer this in, in the way that I'd like to, because I would like to, if this is my statement on that, I'd love to have that and have it be the right one.

• 14:42Mary Beth Barone?

  You get one shot.

• 14:43Benito Skinner?

  Literally, they're like, what's it like to have a vest on? Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? They're like, hey handsome, did you brush your hair? I, I do want to say something to the baronies though. It's really scary to be posted on places where, you know, it's not your hometown.

• 14:59Mary Beth Barone?

  It's an away game.

• 14:59Benito Skinner?

  It's an away game. And I see the comments sometimes and I try not to, because obviously as I read last week, they can sometimes be really scary. Sometimes Terry points them out to me and they're like, Taika, and it's all of you guys. And it really does mean a lot. I don't know. I really appreciate it. It makes me feel less like absolutely terrified.

• 15:16Mary Beth Barone?

  We're so grateful for you. We can't wait to show you overcompensating. I think it's going to be so fun and you're going to feel like there's some stuff that, you know, little Easter eggs and stuff.

I not only have one of those chairs in my parents' house in my room, I also have one in my apartment. They're so goddamn beautiful, so comfortable, and I would say they're a mix between like bohemian and like mid-century modern Scandi coastal. I mean, how would you describe it?

• 19:15Benito Skinner?

  I was just at an office recently. It was so Scandi. I was like, oh, I want to build a Lego set in here. Do you know what I mean?

• 20:34Benito Skinner?

  I do think I have to talk about meeting capital H E R. Is this too long of an intro? I mean, why not? We're in the car. We're in the car. Hey, they're in the backseat. We just picked them up. They get to hear us talk for a while.

• 20:48Mary Beth Barone?

  We're gonna get through the hitchhikes. I mean, they're short voice notes. So basically, how the hitchhike will work, we got emails and they were very explicit instructions on how to submit your hitchhikes and many of you didn't follow them.

• 21:00Benito Skinner?

  To me, I'm like, those are my kids.

• 21:02Mary Beth Barone?

  Those are my kids and you know what? Play with form.

• 21:04Benito Skinner?

  Those are the ones who got the, my sperm.

• 21:06Mary Beth Barone?

  Right.

• 21:06Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 21:06Mary Beth Barone?

  So we have a bunch of voice notes. We're gonna play the voice note. We're gonna respond and say if we ride or not for each individual thing. And then at the end, we'll pick which one we like the most, which one we ride for the hardest, and we would add to the ride sort of lore of it all.

• 21:20Benito Skinner?

  Yeah. So here's the deal. I get this call and it's from my manager who we share.

• 21:29Mary Beth Barone?

  Our manager in many ways.

• 21:30Benito Skinner?

  I keep it all in the family. Literally, I go to my gym and who do I see? You. So I get this call and they're like, Lady Gaga is doing a press conference for her fans in New York. Would you want to be the moderator? They want you to moderate it. And I was like, so here's the deal. If Stephanie Germanotta called me to do anything, I'm gonna be there. Like, you just don't even, like, of course, that's, that's Mother Monster and she means the absolute world to me. This is my number one. Like, I already was nervous, but I was like, I have to be there. So I went to New York for the day and I got to be with my, my girly pop. And I got to meet Gaga at this, this mayhem press event, also the album.

• 22:11Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, my God.

• 22:11Benito Skinner?

  It'll be already out, but it's just like, it's dance, pop, electro funk. I just went absolutely feral to it. It's fucking fabulous, but I did get to meet her and she's perfect. Can I just say, she is so goddamn tiny. And I held her in my arms and we connected and she met my wife, which was good. I'm really glad the girls could talk.

• 22:33Mary Beth Barone?

  Got to meet and chat.

• 22:34Benito Skinner?

  But I just kind of got to like, sit down and shoot the shit with, with Miss Gaga. And my God, do I love this woman even more than I did before, which I didn't think was possible.

• 22:43Mary Beth Barone?

  Me too. You completely tore, you blew the roof off the place as the moderator.

• 22:47Benito Skinner?

  Thank you, sweetie.

• 22:47Mary Beth Barone?

  And I was so like moved and touched by Lady Gaga's fans who were there. Her, her top Spotify listeners were there. And they were asking questions and they were such thoughtful questions and her answers were so.

• 23:00Benito Skinner?

  She's brilliant.

• 23:01Mary Beth Barone?

  Thought through, like, she was funny, she was witty, she was so fucking charming.

• 23:06Benito Skinner?

  She looked iconic.

• 23:06Mary Beth Barone?

  She looked incredible. And I just thought, you know what? I really feel that if we put Baronis in a room and they were asking us questions like that, it would have been the same sort of energy, room full of love. And we, we met some Baronis.

• 23:19Benito Skinner?

  We met some Baronis and I knew that because I was like, there's got the Venn diagram. It's almost a perfect circle.

• 23:24Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 23:25Benito Skinner?

  I just had so much fun. My, my fear with those things is I never want to get in the way of fans because I know if I was in the crowd, I'd be like, you're getting in the way. So I tried to be a little bit more. Demure.

• 23:34Mary Beth Barone?

  You were so demure and mindful.

• 23:36Benito Skinner?

  I wanted to be mindful, but I had my little glasses on and she just made me feel so amazing. Like that is, she's a true star, but also just like such a lovely person.

• 23:45Mary Beth Barone?

  She said something and when you were, when you guys were chatting and you were like, God, like I'm such a fan. It is so amazing to meet you. And she's like, it's amazing for me to meet you. Like my fans are why I do all of it. And I just like, I'm getting chills thinking about it. But like her saying that was just like, oh my God, like, I don't know, the community she's created and what she's given to queer people and women is just like,

• 24:08Benito Skinner?

  It's unbelievable.

• 24:09Mary Beth Barone?

  It's unmatched.

• 24:09Benito Skinner?

  And she was like, I'm nervous to play the album for my fans. Like this is a little scary for me, but it's also like, I'm so excited. Like I'm buzzing and I could see how passionate she was about it. Also she went out and listened to the album, the entire album with the fans. She could have just said hi and then, but.

• 24:24Mary Beth Barone?

  And you know what? She has never turned her back on the queer community and she was writing for the LGBTQ plus. Before it was like a chic thing to do.

• 24:32Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 24:32Mary Beth Barone?

  And I just feel like she's such an artist. I walked away from that event thinking that's a true artist. I always thought that about her, but like, sometimes it's just so apparent to you. And I just was like totally blown away by it.

• 24:43Benito Skinner?

  Absolutely. I think one of my favorite things is that she recognized a lot of fans that were there. Cause it was, I think it was like Spotify did top listeners and I thought that was so cute. She was like, I know who you are.

• 24:52Mary Beth Barone?

  She's like, we met before.

• 24:53Benito Skinner?

  Yeah. She was like you, I see you all the time. And she knew their names and like, I just, yeah, I, I really, oh, there was this one moment where she turned and she's like, I want you to pick of like the people in that moment. I was like, I'm attracted to women. Do you know what I mean?

• 25:05Mary Beth Barone?

  Totally.

• 25:06Benito Skinner?

  But in a totally respectful way.

• 25:07Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 25:07Benito Skinner?

  But I was just like, I love this woman more than anyone on earth. And then I turned a little bit to the left and I saw you front row.

• 25:13Mary Beth Barone?

  Hey, I was just there smiling, watching two icons interact.

• 25:16Benito Skinner?

  It made me so happy and just like.

• 25:17Mary Beth Barone?

  So fun.

• 25:18Benito Skinner?

  She's such a part of the lore of this pod and I don't speak German, but I can if you like.

• 25:22Mary Beth Barone?

  And pause up.

• 25:23Benito Skinner?

  And pause up. Hey, hey, pause up, pause up. I got to say pause up to all her fans and I got to do pause up with her.

• 25:30Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 25:31Benito Skinner?

  Oh my God. I've like, I've lived a thousand lives.

• 25:35Mary Beth Barone?

  It's been a good year, kid.

• 25:36Benito Skinner?

  It's just like, I feel like through this, like the misery of what's going on, we're going to find communities and that room felt like a community of people. It did feel like ride live in a way.

• 25:45Mary Beth Barone?

  It's local politics in a lot of ways.

• 25:47Benito Skinner?

  It's, it's just like gathering around art with your besties. I think is what we have right now and going to protest.

• 25:53Mary Beth Barone?

  Think globally, act locally.

• 25:54Benito Skinner?

  Exactly.

• 25:56Mary Beth Barone?

  All right.

• 25:57Benito Skinner?

  Let's pick up our kids.

• 25:58Mary Beth Barone?

  Jackson, hit it. Wait, where are we going?

• 26:01Benito Skinner?

  Who cares? Ride.

• 26:03Speaker 04

  My name is Morgan and I'll be riding through beating a dead horse. Because there is just something so nostalgic about just getting together with your girlfriends. And we have a situation that potentially happened five years ago.

• 26:17Benito Skinner?

  Oh, oh. How much do we do this?

• 26:20Speaker 04

  You're in it. You're back. It's live. It's happening in front of you. I'm feeling all these feelings from years ago. And I want to talk about the outcome. What could have happened and what didn't happen.

• 26:32Benito Skinner?

  And totally.

• 26:33Speaker 04

  Yeah, I'm gonna go around in circles about it until I feel like I've gotten it off my chest.

• 26:37Benito Skinner?

  In this moment, we are Delilah.

• 26:39Mary Beth Barone?

  We are.

• 26:40Speaker 04

  If you're in a situation with some drama, some tea that happened like years ago, I am the girl to bring it to. I will beat that horse with you.

• 26:49Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, but it's so funny that you say this. And hey, I'm not calling you out, but I think this is okay for me to say, I'll text. But she had to do a presentation and it was for PETA and she learned that all these things, all these slang things that we say are actually so offensive. And just like we're not supposed to say, two birds with one stone beating a dead horse. Like, why are we always beating the shit out of animals?

• 27:09Mary Beth Barone?

  Animals are taking L's.

• 27:11Benito Skinner?

  What the fucking shit? But here's the thing. Absolutely. Terry and I and this girl across from me, we will start from the top.

• 27:21Mary Beth Barone?

  Pages and pages of texts about things that happened. So, because you know what?

• 27:26Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 27:26Mary Beth Barone?

  We never forget. We were subtweeted after a show at the Bell House in 2019. And I will never forget the person that did it. I'll never forget the tweet verbatim. And I will always bring it up when I feel so inclined.

• 27:40Benito Skinner?

  Absolutely. If I even get a tickle of it. If the wind blows a certain way, I go, whoa, I just remembered that that person did that.

• 27:47Mary Beth Barone?

  So I don't forget.

• 27:48Benito Skinner?

  This one person acted insane at a Thanksgiving dinner. And sometimes if I'm literally just sitting across from Terry at a dinner. When you've been with someone for like almost nine years, you are just kind of like, all right, let's, let's take it back to the books.

• 27:59Mary Beth Barone?

  Of course.

• 27:59Benito Skinner?

  Let's see what we have in the journals.

• 28:00Mary Beth Barone?

  Friends from high school, like when you and my girls get together from high school. I mean, we're talking about, we play this game called the West Hill game where you, everyone has to say someone that we went to high school with. And you start to run out of people. Cause there's 10 of us and we just, you start with the ones that are really top of mind and then you start going to deep cuts.

• 28:16Benito Skinner?

  Terry, one time to someone's face goes, oh, can we talk about your flop era? And we had the funniest conversation was like getting to rehash it when someone was acting fucking so out of pocket for a while. We were like, oh, God, it's so good. And some of the weird things that have happened at weddings. I could talk about it forever.

• 28:34Mary Beth Barone?

  When someone makes a fool of themselves at a wedding, it's fodder for the whole family for decades to come.

• 28:39Benito Skinner?

  Of course.

• 28:39Mary Beth Barone?

  Decades to come. So we beat a dead horse as a family quite, quite frequently, I would say, and as friends. And I ride for beating a dead horse. Whenever they come up with a new word for it, I'll certainly work that into the lexicon.

• 28:50Benito Skinner?

  I don't know.

• 28:51Mary Beth Barone?

  Is it that we're normalizing violence against horses? Cause I'm not, I'm not doing that when I say that.

• 28:56Benito Skinner?

  I think so. I think they're just kind of like, can't we think of anything else? And also pointing out, why are all these things about us beating animals? And I, I have to agree. I assume this all came from the pilgrims.

• 29:07Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, same.

• 29:07Benito Skinner?

  Freaks.

• 29:08Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 29:09Benito Skinner?

  Hey, I saw the witch. Morgan, you're amazing. We're still driving. Get out of the car. Okay, who's next? Hop on in.

• 29:16Speaker 05

  Hi.

• 29:17Benito Skinner?

  Hi, sweetie.

• 29:17Speaker 05

  Stephanie. I am a longtime listener, first time caller.

• 29:21Benito Skinner?

  I love her voice.

• 29:21Speaker 05

  And I will be writing for songs that break your heart. And that doesn't necessarily mean a bad thing because there can be songs that are just so good that make you cry, like songs that no matter what you hear, or when you hear it, they make you cry. It could be a sobbing, it could just be teary, just songs that make you emotional. For instance, mine is Kashmir Pulaski Day by Sufjan Stevens. No matter.

• 29:48Mary Beth Barone?

  Sufjan did a lot for the songs that break your heart.

• 29:51Benito Skinner?

  She's bringing up Sufjan in the backseat right now.

• 29:53Speaker 05

  It's just absolutely beautiful song. And it makes me cry every time I hear it. And it's just, yeah, thank you so much. Love you.

• 30:00Benito Skinner?

  Thank you. Hey, thank you for being in the car. Can I just say, wow. And oh my God, do I love this. Because sometimes you just need to have that nasty cry. You need to get it out.

• 30:11Mary Beth Barone?

  Dion by The Japanese House.

• 30:12Benito Skinner?

  Don't bring up Dion.

• 30:13Mary Beth Barone?

  Fade Into You by Mazzy Star.

• 30:16Benito Skinner?

  Keep going.

• 30:16Mary Beth Barone?

  And then there's a song called I'm God by Clams Casino, which samples Image and Heap. I mean,

• 30:24Benito Skinner?

  What's there to say?

• 30:25Mary Beth Barone?

  Songs that break your heart.

• 30:26Benito Skinner?

  Hey, don't say it. Cry.

• 30:27Mary Beth Barone?

  I ride for this till the end of time. Cause I saw it's self harm that I've been doing since high school.

• 30:31Benito Skinner?

  Exactly.

• 30:32Mary Beth Barone?

  Listening to songs that make me cry.

• 30:33Benito Skinner?

  Skeletons. Yeah, yeah, yes. Kills me, absolutely wrecks me. Everything by the Japanese house, I would say.

• 30:40Mary Beth Barone?

  I know.

• 30:41Benito Skinner?

  Still gets me in a way that I'm like.

• 30:43Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 30:43Benito Skinner?

  And oh my God, there's this one remix of Charlie's. I need your love. It's a Japanese breakfast remix of I need your love. They slow it down. Oh my God, it literally, my whole body chills. And can I just say some of the scores of overcompensating?

• 30:58Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 30:58Benito Skinner?

  The over, I don't know if I've said this, but overcompensating the scores by Alex Summers, who's he's a genius. He did Nickel Boys. He's like so, he's incredible. But it was also produced by George Daniel of the 1975. Amber Bane, Japanese House and Charli XCX. And my God, girl, we got some hits.

• 31:15Mary Beth Barone?

  So you have the Japanese house, you have Japanese breakfast, and then you have Vogue Japan. And those are all things we've talked about today.

• 31:19Benito Skinner?

  Do you understand that? He's got that international smile.

• 31:23Mary Beth Barone?

  Shall we move on?

• 31:24Benito Skinner?

  It's all a circle. Oh wait, I think there are more songs though. Oh, oh, Fix You.

• 31:28Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh my God. So.

• 31:32Benito Skinner?

  Well, how could you not be?

• 31:33Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm in a huge Coldplay era.

• 31:34Benito Skinner?

  And when did it stop?

• 31:35Mary Beth Barone?

  When, it never did. But when things are really bad, like nationally on a federal level, I just really get back into Coldplay. The Scientist by Coldplay.

• 31:42Benito Skinner?

  Yellow. And it was all yellow.

• 31:45Mary Beth Barone?

  Linger. And, and the Royal Otis linger cover, for that matter.

• 31:50Benito Skinner?

  Jesus Christ. There are so many others, all like Frank Ocean songs really get me in a crazy way. Oh God, you didn't. Uh, Ivy.

• 32:01Mary Beth Barone?

  Ivy's huge.

• 32:02Benito Skinner?

  I thought that I was dreaming.

• 32:03Mary Beth Barone?

  Dreaming when you said you love me. No, stop, because I will just start.

• 32:06Benito Skinner?

  Stop from nothing. I had no chance to Amelia. Okay, that kind of.

• 32:11Mary Beth Barone?

  That was a miscarriage of justice.

• 32:14Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 32:14Mary Beth Barone?

  Don't do that again.

• 32:15Benito Skinner?

  Yeah. Stephanie, you really tore that. And at the end, we're going to choose one that's like a really standout. You really, you came to play with that one.

• 32:22Mary Beth Barone?

  You're, you're, you've both set the bar pretty high up to now.

• 32:25Benito Skinner?

  Yeah. Okay, let's do this.

• 32:28Speaker 06

  My name is Julia and I ride for tiny little tops. Oh, this is a gender.

• 32:34Mary Beth Barone?

  We can stop it there.

• 32:35Benito Skinner?

  Let's stop it there. You said, well, all you need to say, and you ate that. Okay, Julia, tiny little tops.

• 32:40Mary Beth Barone?

  Could you be speaking to a more, to a warmer realm about tiny little tops?

• 32:45Benito Skinner?

  Honey, it's hot in here.

• 32:46Mary Beth Barone?

  The room is warm.

• 32:47Benito Skinner?

  It's a sauna. I, a tiny little top, I just got one at a vintage store. I thought, is this too tight? And then I laughed to myself. I chuckled.

• 32:55Mary Beth Barone?

  Do you know how many shirts I can bring on a trip with me? Cause they're so small.

• 32:58Benito Skinner?

  Fifty.

• 32:59Mary Beth Barone?

  Fifty plus. I fold them up into little squares.

• 33:02Benito Skinner?

  Sometimes I see them and I go, damn.

• 33:04Mary Beth Barone?

  You say, that's a shirt?

• 33:06Benito Skinner?

  Well, no, I don't. I say, perfect. She's got her handkerchiefs for the fucking week. Anything can be a top for you, and I think the tinier, the better. I love you and your little ride. Croppy to do dot today.

• 33:17Mary Beth Barone?

  You know what's heritage, what's girly heritage? Is going in your mom's closet and getting a designer scarf? And you fold it into a triangle and you make it a tube top.

• 33:26Benito Skinner?

  As I said, you can make anything a top.

• 33:27Mary Beth Barone?

  Anything can be a shirt.

• 33:29Benito Skinner?

  I've seen you do this.

• 33:30Mary Beth Barone?

  It's hard to know what to pair it with, I would say.

• 33:33Benito Skinner?

  Well, of course, but that's the challenge. That's the style challenge.

• 33:35Mary Beth Barone?

  Exactly. That's the challenge. Category is make a scarf into a top. Do you know what you say when you say it's something is gay?

• 33:41Benito Skinner?

  What?

• 33:42Mary Beth Barone?

  It's so wearing a skirt as a top.

• 33:43Benito Skinner?

  It's so wearing a skirt as a top. The library was so fucking open.

• 33:47Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, she ended home of FUBIA.

• 33:49Benito Skinner?

  She really fucking, like, I.

• 33:51Mary Beth Barone?

  Talk about someone who was on the side of the LGBTQ plus community before it was chic.

• 33:55Benito Skinner?

  She knew.

• 33:56Mary Beth Barone?

  People said gay all the time in the early 2000s and she said, you know what? I'm gonna do a PSA about this.

• 34:01Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 34:02Mary Beth Barone?

  Brave, especially as a Disney kid. They were very non-controversial.

• 34:05Benito Skinner?

  You know, my one thing with that is, I don't know if I saw a lot of women saying things were gay. I love that we targeted like two rancid bitches at Kitson.

• 34:17Mary Beth Barone?

  At the store.

• 34:17Benito Skinner?

  I'm like, really? I, I don't know if that was, if, yeah, it's just totally gay. When she says totally gay, I'm like, I just, that seems so. Girl wearing a skirt as a top.

• 34:28Mary Beth Barone?

  That's really, that's a really good point.

• 34:30Benito Skinner?

  Do you know what I mean? I'm like, I, but I guess Hillary, like, what, she pops into the locker room?

• 34:34Mary Beth Barone?

  The dressing room.

• 34:36Benito Skinner?

  You know, when you say so gay, it's kind of like, but I love.

• 34:38Mary Beth Barone?

  It's kind of like saying something's bad.

• 34:39Benito Skinner?

  You know what's amazing about that? It's very what's happening right now, which now liberals are being mean. It's the Regina George-ification of liberals. And she kind of did that.

• 34:47Mary Beth Barone?

  I ride.

• 34:48Benito Skinner?

  This was fresh off of being at Bush's inauguration. She said, wait, I fucked up.

• 34:51Mary Beth Barone?

  She said, hang on, hang on, hang on.

• 34:54Benito Skinner?

  You're so funny to me today. I wonder if our kids are laughing in the back.

• 34:58Mary Beth Barone?

  I hope they are.

• 34:59Benito Skinner?

  We loves that cute little tops forever. Home Chef alert, that's what I call Terry. Meal kits often market themselves as an easy meal prep solution, but often disappoint with complicated, overlong recipes that aren't worth the effort. Fortunately, don't laugh.

  Oh, chef, that tastes delicious. Zocdocalina, it's Zocdoc time. So here's the thing. When was the last time you needed to go to a doctor, but you pushed it off? Made the excuse, "I'm too busy, it'll heal on its own. It doesn't smell that bad." I think we've all been there. Booking a doctor appointment can just feel so daunting. But thanks to Zocdoc, there's no reason to delay. They make it so easy to find and book a doctor who's right for you. And I truly use this all the time.

• 37:03Mary Beth Barone?

  I, as I said last week in the ad, I had a cavity one time and I was in LA and I didn't have my dentist. My dentist lives in Connecticut, so.

• 37:11Benito Skinner?

  I remember this.

• 37:11Mary Beth Barone?

  I had to go to a dentist in Hollywood and you know what? They didn't try to upsell me. They didn't try to like tell me more work needed to be done than actually needed to be done. And they got my cavity filled and it was so easy and I found them on Zocdoc and thank God I had that option.

• 38:07Mary Beth Barone?

  Next.

• 38:09Speaker 07

  Hi, my name is Haley and I am writing for leaving. Simply just leaving.

• 38:16Benito Skinner?

  Leaving.

• 38:17Mary Beth Barone?

  What we're about to do.

• 38:18Speaker 07

  So many situations that are negative could be avoided if we simply just left.

• 38:23Benito Skinner?

  Like. You mean the world.

• 38:25Speaker 07

  You go to someone's house and it smells super weird. Leave.

• 38:29Benito Skinner?

  That's so you at the Margiela store.

• 38:31Speaker 07

  And someone's making you uncomfortable.

• 38:33Benito Skinner?

  You just left. I don't like the smell in here.

• 38:35Speaker 07

  You go to a restaurant and it's just like gross.

• 38:38Benito Skinner?

  You did that.

• 38:39Speaker 07

  Leave.

• 38:40Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 38:41Mary Beth Barone?

  And I just got up. I said I met the wrong place.

• 38:43Benito Skinner?

  My skin's dry.

• 38:46Speaker 07

  Like, I just feel like we waste so much of our time.

• 38:52Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 38:52Mary Beth Barone?

  Not leaving.

• 38:53Speaker 07

  Staying places because we feel like it's polite and we have to be polite when really it's like, just leave. Who cares? Leave.

• 39:00Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 39:01Speaker 07

  Bye. I have to go. I'm leaving here.

• 39:04Benito Skinner?

  This is so good.

• 39:05Mary Beth Barone?

  What a powerful message to send to the girls. If you are able to extricate yourself from a situation you don't want to be in. You should leave.

• 39:12Benito Skinner?

  I, I, unfortunately, I don't know where Irish Exit came from, and God knows it's probably not good. I already have chills. I'm thinking, oh, God.

• 39:21Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, there it goes. There goes the podcast.

• 39:23Benito Skinner?

  Oh, damn it. We're done.

• 39:25Mary Beth Barone?

  Saying vaccines cause autism, fine. Using the phrase Irish Exit, not fine.

• 39:30Benito Skinner?

  Not fine. Good luck.

• 39:31Mary Beth Barone?

  You're done. Bye.

• 39:33Benito Skinner?

  Give me the microphone.

• 39:34Mary Beth Barone?

  The contract has been terminated.

• 39:36Benito Skinner?

  Yeah. So I do this at every party, especially if I'm there without Terry. I just don't think you need to say goodbye to 50 people. And it's like, go home and go to bed.

• 39:45Mary Beth Barone?

  Nurish your soul. Go to bed.

• 39:47Benito Skinner?

  Get your eight hours.

• 39:48Mary Beth Barone?

  I do realize sometimes how probably difficult it is to be friends with me in certain situations, because I will just like leave, like I'll just be like, I have to leave. Like, I just can't be here. I can't be in the store.

• 39:59Benito Skinner?

  You're a creature of comfort. I do think I push you, though.

• 40:02Mary Beth Barone?

  You do. But I did leave your birthday party because someone's perfume was too strong. But I also had a parasite.

• 40:07Benito Skinner?

  And you told me.

• 40:08Mary Beth Barone?

  It was, I did.

• 40:09Benito Skinner?

  But you looked like a Bond girl at it, and we already got our photo, and we had a whole dinner together.

• 40:12Mary Beth Barone?

  We had a dinner at Sunset Tower.

• 40:14Benito Skinner?

  You're forgetting that you fully had a full night.

• 40:15Mary Beth Barone?

  I had a dinner. I ate steak with a parasite because I go, I can't sit at this dinner table with Benny's La Familia and not eat anything. So I did, I did do that. But I had to leave because I don't want to have a headache.

• 40:25Benito Skinner?

  Well, of course.

• 40:26Mary Beth Barone?

  I just can't. Like, if I, I am a huge proponent of leaving and

• 40:30Benito Skinner?

  You taught me how to leave.

• 40:31Mary Beth Barone?

  and honestly, not even going. I'm a huge proponent of just not even going in the first place.

• 40:34Benito Skinner?

  Yeah. Can we say this? Don't go.

• 40:36Mary Beth Barone?

  Don't go.

• 40:37Benito Skinner?

  Stay home. I'm learning how to do this. So thank you for inspiring me. I'm learning how to just leave. I can't do it. What I've found is that sometimes if my, like, if my body's sore, like my low back sore, and I like haven't had my coffee bean, like, sometimes I just need to leave and like, take a sec.

• 40:52Mary Beth Barone?

  You don't have to always be available.

• 40:54Benito Skinner?

  And I want to be for people, but sometimes it's about leaving. And also, if somebody makes you feel really terrible, you don't have to be there. Get out.

• 41:01Mary Beth Barone?

  I want to shout someone out in season three who I don't think should be famous. That's all I'm gonna say.

• 41:06Benito Skinner?

  I can't wait for that.

• 41:07Mary Beth Barone?

  I cannot fucking wait. We're gonna open season three with it. I go, I don't know why this person's famous. They've never said one funny thing. They're kind of disgusting. And I think we need to move on from them.

• 41:18Benito Skinner?

  Cool.

• 41:19Mary Beth Barone?

  No. Shockingly, not, not the one I was thinking of.

• 41:22Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, okay. I can't wait.

• 41:25Mary Beth Barone?

  All right, let's go to the next one.

• 41:27Speaker 07

  Hi, Ride. It's Emily and I'm riding for pit stains because somebody needs to. Thanks.

• 41:39Benito Skinner?

  Okay, she has got, wait.

• 41:41Mary Beth Barone?

  She has star quality. Sorry.

• 41:44Benito Skinner?

  Sometimes a star hits you in a way that you just, it takes your breath away. She just ate that.

• 41:50Mary Beth Barone?

  I mean, pit stains, talk about a human experience.

• 41:54Benito Skinner?

  You know what I should have died for? I don't know if I die as much for this as I do for Teslas, but sweat shaming. I am so sick of people being like, oh, is it really hot in here? It's like, yes, it isn't. And thank God.

• 42:05Mary Beth Barone?

  And I think you know that.

• 42:06Benito Skinner?

  And thank God my body is regulating me because I know yours isn't regulating you. You should be wondering why you're not sweating.

• 42:12Mary Beth Barone?

  I agree.

• 42:12Benito Skinner?

  I'm burning bright and I'm burning hot. And you know what? Yeah, I got pit stains. And I have this thing where sometimes like if Terry, I smells BO, I'm like, that's fucking hot.

• 42:20Mary Beth Barone?

  I agree.

• 42:21Benito Skinner?

  Fuck, yeah, man.

• 42:22Mary Beth Barone?

  I think some people's BO, what did I say to you in the gym yesterday? I said, my BO has crossed over where it smells like food almost. Like it smells like food. And I think if your BO can be contained, like if I can only smell your BO when my face is in your armpit, great.

• 42:36Benito Skinner?

  There's something very like, my brain almost said prehistoric, but isn't it very prehistoric?

• 42:42Mary Beth Barone?

  It's pheromones, it's chemical, it's like biological.

• 42:44Benito Skinner?

  But all my white tees, I love when they have a pit stain and like, I don't try to wash it out too much. I'm like, I earned these.

• 42:50Mary Beth Barone?

  It's like, hi, I'm out here living.

• 42:51Benito Skinner?

  Also showing them to people, oh shit, I guess I have the right to bear.

• 42:55Mary Beth Barone?

  Bear armpits. I don't get pit stains because as you know, I don't sweat, but I have never once shamed someone for them.

• 43:00Benito Skinner?

  Well, you shouldn't.

• 43:01Mary Beth Barone?

  And I think it's a total human experience.

• 43:03Benito Skinner?

  You're probably jealous.

• 43:04Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm a little jealous.

• 43:05Benito Skinner?

  Cause it's sometimes just cute. Like you have like a little cutie patch of it.

• 43:10Mary Beth Barone?

  As you puke all over the Dear Media studio.

• 43:11Benito Skinner?

  I will and I don't give a fuck. Next.

• 43:14Mary Beth Barone?

  Next.

• 43:15Benito Skinner?

  Hi, my name is Tiggy and I ride for dinner drunk. And now dinner drunk is the concept of, I mean, in the name, getting drunk at dinner. But here's why it's amazing. Like, yes, a dance and a night out like in the club or at a bar and dancing, dancing.

• 43:33Speaker 01

  Always, that might be my favorite thing. But on the contrary, and potentially in compliment to dinner drunk. When you go somewhere, a nice restaurant or a bar where there's food or somewhere with the intention to sit down for a meal and drink. Or sit down for a snack and drink, mostly a meal, and you get drunk. And you're with a group of people and everyone's having a good time and everyone starts getting drunk and everyone's got food and there's that. That is the pinnacle. That is a pinnacle of a social eating out with girls, with the guys or with your guy. Dinner drunk is everything. Dancing always and forever, but dinner drunk first.

• 44:15Benito Skinner?

  Dancing always and forever.

• 44:16Mary Beth Barone?

  But dinner drunk.

• 44:17Speaker 01

  Of course. That is all she wrote.

• 44:18Benito Skinner?

  But first dinner drunk.

• 44:20Mary Beth Barone?

  So that whole thing.

• 44:21Speaker 01

  I ride for dinner drunk.

• 44:22Mary Beth Barone?

  Could be on a T-shirt. I just want to say that right now and put that on a T-shirt.

• 44:25Benito Skinner?

  Can we get that Tiggy? Can we have you?

• 44:27Mary Beth Barone?

  Tiggy, can we just?

• 44:28Benito Skinner?

  Quick, quick little signature and, and that's.

• 44:31Mary Beth Barone?

  Release the material.

• 44:32Benito Skinner?

  Straight to store.

• 44:33Mary Beth Barone?

  So wow, I mean, I'm gonna let you go first on this one.

• 44:37Benito Skinner?

  I mean, of course, and I haven't done this in a while and you've just inspired me Tiggy. I guess that's where we're driving right now. Because to me, there's something I'm hearing also in this. It feels like a long meal, which I love a long dinner. It's like, let's sit in. No bullshit little thing we're going to after. I want to be here for four fucking hours, dude.

• 44:55Mary Beth Barone?

  And you know what we're gonna do at this dinner? We're gonna beat a dead horse on a couple of topics.

• 44:59Benito Skinner?

  Couple of topics. Oh my God, I'm gonna get an insanely named cocktail.

• 45:03Mary Beth Barone?

  Yep.

• 45:03Benito Skinner?

  I'm gonna get the pig in the slut.

• 45:04Mary Beth Barone?

  Mm-hmm.

• 45:05Benito Skinner?

  Drink her down, sip, sip, sip and go another. And then actually, there was another mezcal one on there I wanted to try. I'm gonna get that too. And then I'm gonna get an espresso martini and duh, duh, duh, duh.

• 45:15Mary Beth Barone?

  And then you go home and you just crawl into bed. Cause you're fucked up.

• 45:19Benito Skinner?

  Well, yeah, cause you're fucked up.

• 45:21Mary Beth Barone?

  You stand up from the table and the being drunk hits you. Well, here's what happens. Here's how the night progresses. Here's how the night progresses. You sit down, you get one drink. The food hasn't arrived yet. You get another drink. So then you're feeling pretty buzzed because you haven't eaten yet.

• 45:33Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 45:33Mary Beth Barone?

  And then it's up to everyone at the table to decide how many drinks you're gonna have because you can't leave the other person hanging. So. You're, you're getting another? Four, five drinks.

• 45:43Benito Skinner?

  Getting dinner with an agent, honey.

• 45:46Mary Beth Barone?

  Last a lifetime.

• 45:47Benito Skinner?

  Lunch. Ever heard of lunch drunk? Oh, my God.

• 45:49Mary Beth Barone?

  You you start saying stuff that's a little naughty.

• 45:52Benito Skinner?

  Of course.

• 45:53Mary Beth Barone?

  You start releasing your hottest takes. And then when you stand up from this dinner, which costs way more than you thought it was going to when you sat down.

• 46:00Benito Skinner?

  Well, the cocktails are $17.

• 46:01Mary Beth Barone?

  Cause the cocktails are $17 each. You stand up and you're drunk. You don't realize how drunk you are till you stand up.

• 46:07Benito Skinner?

  You're drunkard.

• 46:07Mary Beth Barone?

  And then you stumble outside, you get in your Uber, you maybe fall asleep a little bit.

• 46:10Benito Skinner?

  And the fresh air feels kind of good and you're like.

• 46:12Mary Beth Barone?

  Go to bed, you don't even take your makeup off.

• 46:14Benito Skinner?

  No, but you do.

• 46:15Mary Beth Barone?

  But you don't. But hey, sometimes you don't.

• 46:17Benito Skinner?

  But you too.

• 46:18Mary Beth Barone?

  I do.

• 46:18Benito Skinner?

  Promise me one thing.

• 46:20Mary Beth Barone?

  Of course I do.

• 46:20Benito Skinner?

  Of course, I I I told you the night I found out that, you know, that big question of if something terrible happened to you, would you do your skincare?

• 46:28Mary Beth Barone?

  Which was posed by a Brooklyn comedian and many people have co-opted the message. But Stephen, we see you and we we acknowledge the work.

• 46:36Benito Skinner?

  We acknowledge the work and I think about it all the time and I I have my answer. Yes.

• 46:40Mary Beth Barone?

  Yes.

• 46:41Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 46:41Mary Beth Barone?

  When Terry bolted.

• 46:42Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, speaking of Irish exit, Terry just, it's like once every couple of years, somebody gives him some liquor and he completely is a runaway.

• 46:51Mary Beth Barone?

  He goes from dinner drunk to being possessed by an alien being. Like it's he's not recognizable.

• 46:57Benito Skinner?

  No, he gets get embodied. It's crazy. And I just kind of say bye. And and he found his way back home, but I was kind of like, he's missing.

• 47:05Mary Beth Barone?

  He found his way back home in the morning, to be fair.

• 47:07Benito Skinner?

  Well, of course. Yeah.

• 47:09Mary Beth Barone?

  He was a missing person.

• 47:10Benito Skinner?

  And at this point, I'm kind of like, I I Terry, I'm not even gonna ask if it's okay to say, it's just like, it is him and it's it's a part of him. I love all of him. And he hasn't done it since. This was like three years ago, four years ago.

• 47:20Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, but I did get a call middle of the night.

• 47:22Benito Skinner?

  You got a call.

• 47:23Mary Beth Barone?

  I just Ubered from your place. And I get a call and Terry's gone. Terry bolted, he made a run for it.

• 47:29Benito Skinner?

  Can't find Terry, but I am washing my face right now.

• 47:32Mary Beth Barone?

  You go, I have a paid ad to record tomorrow.

• 47:35Benito Skinner?

  I was like, targets here in the morning.

• 47:37Mary Beth Barone?

  Coming over to make jean jackets.

• 47:39Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, and I was like, oh, God.

• 47:40Mary Beth Barone?

  But you showed up.

• 47:41Benito Skinner?

  I'm putting my toner on. He showed up.

• 47:42Mary Beth Barone?

  I think you had a present out of it, too, if I'm not mistaken.

• 47:45Benito Skinner?

  No, that was the day he took the microphone for a photo shoot and we were trying to record a [BLEEP]. And the kids are in the car, I can tell them stories. About their pop up.

• 47:54Mary Beth Barone?

  He needed it as a prop, but he just didn't know we were recording that day.

• 47:57Benito Skinner?

  No.

• 47:57Mary Beth Barone?

  And I didn't care.

• 47:58Benito Skinner?

  And everyone was furious at us.

• 48:01Mary Beth Barone?

  But when we were doing a we would literally take any reasons not record the podcast.

• 48:04Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 48:05Mary Beth Barone?

  I would be like, oh, I have a hangnail. So yeah, she can't. I'm so sorry.

• 48:08Benito Skinner?

  Sorry, I was something caught in my molars. This just not gonna work.

• 48:11Mary Beth Barone?

  We had a free day. We had a free day because he did that.

• 48:14Benito Skinner?

  I know. And then I was like, you have to get me a present. You embarrassed me in front of 50 people as a joke.

• 48:17Mary Beth Barone?

  In front of Parcast.

• 48:19Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, literally. I said, do you know how I just looked in front of Parcast, young man?

• 48:25Benito Skinner?

  Literally, immediately, he did get me a top that I still love. And you know what? It's a tiny little top.

• 48:30Mary Beth Barone?

  I have a picture of you in it.

• 48:32Benito Skinner?

  Thank you. It says, it says, eat me.

• 48:33Mary Beth Barone?

  From rehearsals of overcompensating. So we do have to wrap up the episode here. And you know what I was just thinking? Because we have so many more that I pulled. We should just do a part two next week. Another hitchhike. What do you say?

• 48:44Benito Skinner?

  That sounds fabulous. I don't think that.

• 48:46Mary Beth Barone?

  I just really think we have more of our, of our kids to hear from. And I think like, that could be so fun.

• 48:51Benito Skinner?

  I agree. I mean, I'm having the time of my life and also like, it's kind of giving me new inspirations of rides. Because I, as we've said so many times, it is so hard to ride for this many things.

• 48:59Mary Beth Barone?

  It is. And, and not get yourself in hot water. Which we've already done, count it five to six times on this episode alone.

• 49:05Benito Skinner?

  I literally was so, I was like, damn, I, I almost wrote down Terry's recently because I was like, I don't know what to ride for anymore. Jackson laughed.

• 49:12Mary Beth Barone?

  You haven't ridden for sex yet? And maybe that's a season three sort of situation, but I'm ready to hear it.

• 49:17Benito Skinner?

  I know. I, I love sex.

• 49:20Mary Beth Barone?

  I know. And I think people are gonna watch overcompensating and it's really gonna come.

• 49:25Benito Skinner?

  You love sex too.

• 49:26Mary Beth Barone?

  Me too.

• 49:27Benito Skinner?

  Sometimes women love sex.

• 49:28Mary Beth Barone?

  No, not much. Not much. I'm kidding. So here's something that I ride for always and forever. And it's going to be leaving. And I think that that's not gonna surprise anyone.

• 49:36Benito Skinner?

  I could have literally.

• 49:39Mary Beth Barone?

  It's a, might as well be a bullseye.

• 49:40Benito Skinner?

  Might as well. The second she said, leaving.

• 49:43Mary Beth Barone?

  Leaving.

• 49:43Benito Skinner?

  I went, oh, come on. I mean, done.

• 49:45Mary Beth Barone?

  I mean, I could have written it myself.

• 49:48Benito Skinner?

  Mine, um, I'm, I'm gonna have to ride for sad songs.

• 49:51Mary Beth Barone?

  Songs that break your heart.

• 49:52Benito Skinner?

  Songs that break your heart. Oh, yeah, exactly. Which, don't let Sabrina Carpenter hear that title. I see a new album.

• 49:58Mary Beth Barone?

  I'mma let you make me doo-dah.

• 50:01Benito Skinner?

  I'mma let you make me doo-dah, doo-dah, doo-dah, doo-dah.

• 50:07Mary Beth Barone?

  That's something where I go, God, we are giving girls permission to be fucking weird.

• 50:12Benito Skinner?

  And God, aren't we? And like, can we just do this? We're in the car and no one can hear us.

• 50:17Mary Beth Barone?

  Remember when you used to just make weird sounds with your friends? Like, we should be allowed to do that in our 30s or however old we are.

• 50:23Benito Skinner?

  I could hear that in the work, like they, but it sounded like everyone recorded it in a closet in their house. So can we ask, can you guys record our ads for us?

• 50:32Mary Beth Barone?

  Cause we're doing it from a submersible.

• 50:34Benito Skinner?

  I, I just think this is amazing. It's how it got me through college, being in love with a straight man, sad songs. Sometimes you just need a good cry at, and you know what I will say, I also use them during overcompensating when I was doing sad scenes. It really, it's just, it's really evocative. It's like a scent in a way.

• 50:51Mary Beth Barone?

  Music is so transportative, evocative, and you have those songs where you go, if, if that comes on anywhere, I am immediately transported.

• 50:59Benito Skinner?

  I'm a wreck.

• 51:00Mary Beth Barone?

  Can I tell you something really cool about a breakup?

• 51:02Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 51:02Mary Beth Barone?

  Any song that they loved that you hated, you never have to hear again. Isn't that so cool?

• 51:07Benito Skinner?

  That's amazing.

• 51:07Mary Beth Barone?

  It's about looking on the bright side.

• 51:08Benito Skinner?

  That must be cool too, to be like, oh, I didn't like that one friend. I never have to see them again.

• 51:12Mary Beth Barone?

  It's so freeing and you can unfollow them in a lot of ways and even block them. So cool.

• 51:18Benito Skinner?

  My new thing is, oh, all my, all my girlfriends always want me to follow their boyfriends, but I think they have to be husbands for me to do that because I have had to unfollow people. And I'm just kind of like, I'm sorry, you're not with them anymore. I can't see this. I'm not saying that about Edward. I will follow him for the rest of my life. I love that man.

• 51:31Mary Beth Barone?

  And, and as well.

• 51:32Benito Skinner?

  You gave me permission. If you ever told me not to, hey, Edward knows this. I've said this to him. If mama wants me gone, I'm gone. Trust.

• 51:39Mary Beth Barone?

  And I would tell you.

• 51:40Benito Skinner?

  Yes.

• 51:41Mary Beth Barone?

  So thank you so much for all the hitchhikes. We have so many more to get through.

• 51:44Benito Skinner?

  It's so fun. You guys, you just killed it and you get us.

• 51:47Mary Beth Barone?

  You get right.

• 51:47Benito Skinner?

  And hey, and we get you.

• 51:49Mary Beth Barone?

  Thank you so much.

• 51:50Benito Skinner?

  Thanks so much for hopping in the car. I'mma let you make me doo-dah. Plug your ears. I'ma make you.

• 51:58Mary Beth Barone?

  I took the headphones off.

• 52:02Benito Skinner?

  Oh, my exit.

• 52:03Mary Beth Barone?

  Benny babe, eyes on the road.

• 52:06Mary Beth Barone?

  Benny, go.
