  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.

• 0:12Benito Skinner?

  If you haven't girl problems, I feel bad for you, son. I got 99 problems, but a A1. Hit me.

• 0:20Mary Beth Barone?

  You haven't done it with the A1 for me yet.

• 0:23Benito Skinner?

  Hit me.

• 0:25Mary Beth Barone?

  Now, explain what that is.

• 0:27Benito Skinner?

  Last night I went to Mary Beth's late.

• 0:29Mary Beth Barone?

  You got there at 10.

• 0:31Benito Skinner?

  I got there at 10, 10:15, by the way.

• 0:37Benito Skinner?

  Got there at 10:15. Immediately, I was doing bits, and I had to show you the sixth episode of Overcompensating. Total knockout. I've got a TV show. A-lister.

• 0:50Mary Beth Barone?

  Okay, so I don't have to pretend I haven't seen it anymore?

• 0:52Benito Skinner?

  No, no, no. Like, I do this thing where it's like Mary Beth has to pretend she hasn't seen everything I've ever done, ever.

• 0:58Mary Beth Barone?

  Including Hole?

• 0:59Benito Skinner?

  If I send you my Hole, it's like at a certain point.

• 1:02Mary Beth Barone?

  So I've been being like, I can't wait to see it.

• 1:04Benito Skinner?

  No, I know, to like.

• 1:05Mary Beth Barone?

  It's called being an actor. And I don't like lying, you know, I hate liars, so.

• 1:09Benito Skinner?

  Totally. I think I lie so much less lately. I had that thought recently.

• 1:14Mary Beth Barone?

  I don't know where the lies start and where the truth begins, or I don't know where the lies end and the truth begins, but.

• 1:19Benito Skinner?

  Mary Beth carries baskets like this everywhere she goes, by the way. So much love to the Fringe Podcast team.

• 1:27Mary Beth Barone?

  And [BLEEP] on the ones and twos today.

• 1:30Benito Skinner?

  Just revealed to me. We'll bleep her name.

• 1:33Mary Beth Barone?

  No, don't say it. Don't say it.

• 1:35Benito Skinner?

  She didn't know a [BLEEP] man.

• 1:37Mary Beth Barone?

  No.

• 1:38Benito Skinner?

  And she would say [BLEEP].

• 1:39Mary Beth Barone?

  Are you comfortable with this?

• 1:40Benito Skinner?

  Willy-nilly.

• 1:41Mary Beth Barone?

  Her coworkers will know.

• 1:42Benito Skinner?

  She goes, "Hey [BLEEP]" to everyone in class, to her teachers.

• 1:45Mary Beth Barone?

  We're cutting this.

• 1:46Benito Skinner?

  The substitute.

• 1:46Mary Beth Barone?

  We do not have consent to share this.

• 1:48Benito Skinner?

  Do we have consent?

• 1:48Mary Beth Barone?

  She said she's never told anyone this.

• 1:50Benito Skinner?

  We'll bleep your name.

• 1:52Mary Beth Barone?

  I am so sorry for my sins.

• 1:55Mary Beth Barone?

  But you don't mind.

• 1:56Benito Skinner?

  We'll do a deep voice edit.

• 1:58Mary Beth Barone?

  But you don't mind if we say this?

• 1:59Benito Skinner?

  Why? I think this is incredible.

• 2:01Mary Beth Barone?

  Honestly, I've been wondering how to come out with that, so. And you wanted to do it on Ride the Pod.

• 2:06Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 2:06Mary Beth Barone?

  And I'm genuinely so sorry. It's okay. You were young, you didn't know. You were told in your small-town community, which we'll get into later.

• 2:13Benito Skinner?

  Pride is not a party.

• 2:15Mary Beth Barone?

  She was told that it was a term of endearment.

• 2:18Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 2:18Mary Beth Barone?

  And then she moved to the big city, New Jersey.

• 2:20Benito Skinner?

  And I said to her, I said, "No one died at Stonewall," and she goes, "Bummer." That's what she said.

• 2:25Mary Beth Barone?

  Did you just come up with that?

• 2:27Benito Skinner?

  I guess, yeah.

• 2:28Mary Beth Barone?

  That's incredible.

• 2:30Benito Skinner?

  I mean, baby.

• 2:32Mary Beth Barone?

  You're cooking. Let him cook.

• 2:33Benito Skinner?

  Let him cook. So I show up to, I love you [BLEEP] the way. Warmest energy ever.

• 2:38Mary Beth Barone?

  I know. We had this gift basket ready, and this is important for later, but she got Diet Cokes for you and a Coke Zero. Like, you're bringing these home.

• 2:45Benito Skinner?

  This has a football helmet on. Did you do custom? Just so you know.

• 2:49Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, excuse me, football helmets. Can we just talk quickly about the Sydney Sweeney ad? Really, really quickly, and then we'll get into if you have girl problems, I feel bad for you, son. If you, I got 99 problems at A1.

• 2:58Benito Skinner?

  I said that to my brother, because I go me rebounding for you. I used to love, I would do anything to spend time with my siblings. I was the youngest child, so they could trick me into doing chores and stuff.

• 3:10Mary Beth Barone?

  That's why I have this nag complex.

• 3:11Benito Skinner?

  I was an indentured servant to them.

• 3:12Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, they would say, "Can you go upstairs and get my thing? I'll time you."

• 3:15Benito Skinner?

  Oh, and I'd be like, "You got it, buddy."

• 3:16Mary Beth Barone?

  Off to the races, kid.

• 3:17Benito Skinner?

  "You got it, butto. You got it." What did they call me?

• 3:22Mary Beth Barone?

  Doodlebug. We're doing too many levels right now. We're gonna have to come climb back out the levels. Do you get that? We have to come back.

• 3:29Benito Skinner?

  Inception.

• 3:30Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, exactly.

• 3:31Benito Skinner?

  We have to go from the falling into the water, from the snowbanks.

• 3:34Mary Beth Barone?

  Into the elevators or whatever.

• 3:35Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 3:36Mary Beth Barone?

  So anyway, we'll talk about doodlebug in a bit, but let's talk about this. And you can't see this, but.

• 3:41Benito Skinner?

  Me rebounding for my brother.

• 3:43Mary Beth Barone?

  Hair on nipples.

• 3:44Benito Skinner?

  Me up on the hoop.

• 3:45Mary Beth Barone?

  Hair on nipples.

• 3:46Benito Skinner?

  My hog touching the rim.

• 3:49Benito Skinner?

  Spread eagle. Well, we're gonna carpool for advertising next week, and I think like,

• 3:57Benito Skinner?

  this is just, it's like there's so much and so little to say at the same time, but I think what's cool is that I've never, I'm always being kept guessing.

• 4:07Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, it's this thing of, have you ever seen something completely new?

• 4:12Benito Skinner?

  Totally. And that's so rare that you're gonna have that.

• 4:15Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah. So an AI-generated Sydney Sweeney gambling ad, at-home gambling ad, where she's spread eagle on a basketball hoop?

• 4:22Benito Skinner?

  Is it AI-generated?

• 4:23Mary Beth Barone?

  She signed off on it, but I don't think that she, I don't think she was involved physically. That's my big theory. Her body looks like it was made on a computer.

• 4:33Benito Skinner?

  Computer? Make me Sydney Sweeney. Yeah, I guess so. I didn't realize that.

• 4:39Mary Beth Barone?

  You know, I'm big into conspiracy theories. My one, big one, Jeffrey Epstein's not dead. Two, I think that Sydney Sweeney was not on set that day. I think they used her likeness, and she totally signed off on it because she wants to be a billionaire, but I don't think that she physically sat on the hoop. Do you think she physically sat on the hoop?

• 4:56Benito Skinner?

  I just, oh my God, it's like sometimes I see stuff like that, and I'm like, you know what they, what they don't tell you in the biz is like your Hole has to go somewhere, and it's touching something. So just thinking of having to sit on that and having your.

• 5:08Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm walking on air tonight.

• 5:10Benito Skinner?

  Tonight.

• 5:16Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm walking on air. She performed that on SNL. A lot of people don't know that.

• 5:20Benito Skinner?

  That's me on, she's me at recess. The guys are trying to play bump. I'm up there with my bobbies out going, "No."

• 5:26Mary Beth Barone?

  You're patting, you're swatting all the shots away.

• 5:28Benito Skinner?

  It's so Duddy. That's so Duddy. Wait, wait, this is Duddy's dream date. Finally, Duddy falls in love with a guy. She goes, "Meet me at Madison Square Garden at this time." He walks in, it's empty. Then all the lights touch the center court.

• 5:44Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, center court.

• 5:45Benito Skinner?

  But she's on the hoop, so she's actually kind of shrouded in darkness. She's up there, spread eagle, and she goes, "Do you want to play a game?"

• 5:56Benito Skinner?

  And he plays bump, and she doesn't let it.

• 5:58Mary Beth Barone?

  Have you ever seen Duddy and Sydney in the same room? What if she's a sleeper agent? We don't know.

• 6:03Benito Skinner?

  That should've been me up there on that hoop.

• 6:05Mary Beth Barone?

  Okay, so I got 99 problems.

• 6:08Benito Skinner?

  Oh, so I show up to Mary Beth's apartment, and initially, I was taking a shower to get there at 10. And I was in the shower, and it just came to me, and I said, "If you haven't girl problems, I feel bad for you, son. I got 99 problems, but a A1. Hit me."

• 6:23Mary Beth Barone?

  But you were in the shower?

• 6:24Benito Skinner?

  So I was in, you.

• 6:26Mary Beth Barone?

  She was in the shower.

• 6:29Benito Skinner?

  I'm getting to my point, I promise. I brought sustenance.

• 6:34Benito Skinner?

  This basket from Fringe. I brought sustenance. So I immediately think, oh my God.

• 6:41Mary Beth Barone?

  You were in the shower thinking of that.

• 6:43Benito Skinner?

  It's so me.

• 6:43Mary Beth Barone?

  You have taint out, by the way.

• 6:45Benito Skinner?

  Of course, I'm washing it. You guys should, hey, I had taint out and I was washing it. You guys should try it. Jesus Christ. So I'm in there, and I just think to myself, holy fuck, that's me if I stayed in the closet, married a woman, and had to perform at like religious assemblies. If you haven't, this is how I start the day. It's quiet, the light hits me. Sydney Sweeney, me and Sydney Sweeney onstage.

• 7:09Mary Beth Barone?

  Center court.

• 7:09Benito Skinner?

  If you haven't girl problems, I feel bad for you, son. I got 99 problems, but a A1. Hit me. And then it starts today, and it's talking about virginity. I talk about virginity.

• 7:22Mary Beth Barone?

  Right.

• 7:23Benito Skinner?

  I did that the second I walked in her apartment, and then I did the second bit for you.

• 7:27Mary Beth Barone?

  One, I auditioned a new bit as well.

• 7:29Benito Skinner?

  I loved your bit.

• 7:30Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, I auditioned two bits too.

• 7:32Benito Skinner?

  Both rocked. Don't waste. Don't waste either. They're so good for a special.

• 7:35Mary Beth Barone?

  That I don't know who Ed Sheeran is?

• 7:37Benito Skinner?

  Oh, that you don't know who he is?

• 7:38Mary Beth Barone?

  I just go, no, who is that?

• 7:41Benito Skinner?

  You know what's funny? I couldn't tell you.

• 7:43Mary Beth Barone?

  Who is he? Does anyone know? How is he playing stadiums?

• 7:47Benito Skinner?

  I've got a couple of those.

• 7:48Mary Beth Barone?

  I've never heard of him.

• 7:49Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, I've got a couple of those right now.

• 7:51Mary Beth Barone?

  Explain it.

• 7:52Benito Skinner?

  I know, sweetie.

• 7:53Mary Beth Barone?

  And as I told you before the podcast.

• 7:55Benito Skinner?

  Where's my Sally? Do you know what I mean?

• 8:00Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm not responding to that. I will not be opening for Ed Sheeran on tour for a few reasons, but the biggest one being that I don't like the music. So I formally withdrawn. I never was asked, but I've withdrawn. That's my public statement on that.

• 8:14Benito Skinner?

  And we are excited to hear you say that here on Fringe today. Thank you.

• 8:18Mary Beth Barone?

  At Fringe Podcast.

• 8:19Benito Skinner?

  Thank you. Game of Thrones is Ed Sheeran. Wasn't he in that? That's the only thing I know.

• 8:24Mary Beth Barone?

  Someone told me that. Hold on, I posted on my story, and I just want to, I want to quote this Baroni. I can only imagine she listens to the podcast. I said, "Okay, I'll bite. Who is Ed Sheeran?" And she goes, "Nothing for you to stress about. Don't worry, Angel. He's already taken care of and dealt with."

• 8:41Benito Skinner?

  I love these kids so much. I ran into a barony the other day on the corner and she goes, I'm going to a solid core class. Do you want to come? And I was like, actually, like, I probably would any other time. I did just work out.

• 8:52Mary Beth Barone?

  Have fun at that.

• 8:53Benito Skinner?

  But she was so warm and lovely. And it was that thing where if they ask me any questions in person, I just answer.

• 8:59Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, my God. So thank you for bringing this up.

• 9:02Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 9:02Mary Beth Barone?

  I went to the US Open with the, Elia with the hood.

• 9:05Benito Skinner?

  Come on, I mean, like, that's sports attendant privilege.

• 9:09Mary Beth Barone?

  It's sports attendant privilege. I went, and by the way, oh.

• 9:12Benito Skinner?

  Sydney Sweeney went, she had a racket up her butt.

• 9:14Mary Beth Barone?

  She had a racket.

• 9:15Benito Skinner?

  She's leaving it like a tail.

• 9:17Mary Beth Barone?

  On the carpet, watch this.

• 9:18Benito Skinner?

  It was a peacock's tail. She said, hey, guys, watch this.

• 9:22Mary Beth Barone?

  She was in the Trump, uh, Trump Tower box.

• 9:25Benito Skinner?

  The Trump Tower box, sponsored by Raising Canes.

• 9:30Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, MGK.

• 9:31Benito Skinner?

  There's a place called Raising Canes, by the way.

• 9:32Mary Beth Barone?

  MGK was in the Raising Canes group. I'll have you know, they had a paddle for all the Raising Canes people and he went with the group.

• 9:37Benito Skinner?

  Do you know I went on a date to Raising Canes?

• 9:40Mary Beth Barone?

  With a girl or a guy?

• 9:41Benito Skinner?

  Guy.

• 9:42Mary Beth Barone?

  Okay, well, at least there's that. So I met this thing which people commenting, oh, wow, they're socialist, but they're rich. I went for free. Thank you, Moi, by the way. I paid $0 for that.

• 9:52Benito Skinner?

  Thank you, Moi Shammin, by the way.

• 9:54Mary Beth Barone?

  So as we were leaving, there was sort of this gridlock situation. So I'm standing next to George Bush's daughter. Obviously, I'm starstruck. I don't approach because I'm just like, I'm fan, I'm a fan first.

• 10:02Benito Skinner?

  Which one, by the way?

• 10:03Mary Beth Barone?

  Jenna Bush Hager.

• 10:04Benito Skinner?

  Totally.

• 10:05Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, as I was leaving the US Open, privilege, women's final.

• 10:09Benito Skinner?

  God, when are we gonna fucking kill you?

• 10:12Mary Beth Barone?

  Soon, I think.

• 10:13Benito Skinner?

  And when do I get to wipe you? That's the guy at the religious camp.

• 10:18Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, well, in, in private. So I'm, I'm leaving, there's gridlock in the garage with all these SUVs. And so I decide I'm gonna take matters into my own hands. It was a situation where my car was blocked by two other cars that were diagonal and both those drivers got out of their cars to go talk to the people directing traffic. So I said, I have one precious life. I'm gonna walk with, with the people, the proletariat. And I walked to the Uber pickup, couldn't get a car. I then start, I run into a barony. She's like, oh, my God, I love you so much. Can I take a picture with you? We did a photo and then I was like, where, how are you getting home? And she was like, I'm probably just gonna like, I was like, should we walk to the subway? It's only like 20 more minutes. I'm in full stilettos, by the way. So she's like, why don't we just do it together? We'll go to the subway. So we ended up seeing a yellow cab on the way. We got in, asked it to turn around.

• 11:02Mary Beth Barone?

  It asked the driver to turn around. And she was going to Upper East. I was going to Brooklyn, but we decided to just do two stops. And we bonded so much in the car. She's a mom, of course. She's not totally sold on the Upper East side, but she's like getting used to it.

• 11:15Benito Skinner?

  It's different. It's kind of Delaware up there. It's really quiet.

• 11:18Mary Beth Barone?

  It's a lot like Delaware.

• 11:19Benito Skinner?

  She held a gun to you the whole ride.

• 11:20Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, well, I told her a lot of state secrets. And then, uh, she told me about her sister-in-law in Michigan who loves the pod. So I'd say there was a lot of really cool stuff happening.

• 11:28Benito Skinner?

  What do you think about this?

• 11:30Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 11:32Mary Beth Barone?

  And then when she was like, I'm just gonna charge it to my company. Don't worry about it.

• 11:36Benito Skinner?

  Oh, my God, you went on a general.

• 11:38Mary Beth Barone?

  I pretty much went on a general.

• 11:39Benito Skinner?

  Oh, that's so cute.

• 11:40Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, she works for a law company, law tech.

• 11:43Benito Skinner?

  At General, for anyone listening who's done in the entertainment industry, it's where, um, an agent sets you up to meet with somebody and nothing comes.

• 11:50Mary Beth Barone?

  That you never see again in your life.

• 11:52Benito Skinner?

  Nothing happens from the meeting. They essentially just talk to you for 30 minutes.

• 11:55Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm seeing this as a new dating trend. If you go on a first date with someone and you never want to see them again, that's a general meeting.

• 12:01Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, it's just a general.

• 12:02Mary Beth Barone?

  It's a general.

• 12:02Benito Skinner?

  Easy, they got to know you. And hey.

• 12:04Mary Beth Barone?

  And they're excited to see what you come up with next.

• 12:06Benito Skinner?

  They'll think of you in the future. Send me any scraps. I love that, too. Come on. Or they tell you about new projects, they go, we're excited. We're really excited. We have, um, we have Paul Mescal in that one. He's playing a trans woman. And who else, what else do we have this year? And I'm like, God, fucking A. I'm sitting across from them thinking, fuck.

• 12:28Mary Beth Barone?

  By the way, we're huge fans.

• 12:29Benito Skinner?

  Couldn't love Paul more. And that's not real because I know he wouldn't do that.

• 12:32Mary Beth Barone?

  We're gonna have Gracie and Paul on the pod at some point.

• 12:33Benito Skinner?

  Oh, my God, yeah. And you're gonna ask them their biggest fight.

• 12:36Mary Beth Barone?

  I literally can't wait.

• 12:37Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, I know.

• 12:39Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm gonna do that.

• 12:39Benito Skinner?

  I want to see them scrap at this table. Come on.

• 12:43Mary Beth Barone?

  Let's open those wounds.

• 12:45Benito Skinner?

  No, C, D, let's fucking go. So, okay, relationships are intense. They make us care deeply, feel vulnerable, maybe even freak out a little sometimes. That's human. But some people have relationship concerns that go far beyond standard ones, like finding another person attractive, then immediately thinking, oh, my God, does this mean I don't really love my partner? Or needing constant reassurance that your relationship is right or that you're not making the wrong choice because you never feel sure enough? Or asking yourself the same question hundreds of times a day. Do I really love them? What if I'm wasting their time? And searching for some feeling of certainty that never comes. Many people think these sorts of thoughts and anxieties are just overthinking or commitment issues, but they can actually be signs of relationship OCD.

• 13:28Benito Skinner?

  So many people think OCD is just about cleaning or organizing or making your books the kind of like rainbow pattern, but that stereotype couldn't be more wrong. Real OCD is a serious condition. I haven't, hey. Where distressing unwanted thoughts, called intrusive thoughts, get stuck on repeat and you feel compelled to do certain things. Mental or physical behaviors called compulsions to try to make the anxiety stop. With relationship OCD, compulsions might look like constantly seeking reassurance, replaying memories to see if you feel a spark or comparing your partner to others. But what's given me so much hope is learning that OCD is one of the most treatable mental health conditions when you get the right kind of specialized therapy. OCD needs ERP therapy, exposure and response prevention,

• 14:10Benito Skinner?

  which is proven to be the most effective treatment and it did help me so much. NoCD is the world's leading OCD treatment provider and all of their licensed therapists specialize in ERP. Therapy with NoCD is 100% virtual, covered by insurance for over 138 million Americans and includes support between sessions. So you never have to face OCD alone. Well, you never are anyway because you're right here with me in my arms around you if you consent to that. I love you, stinky.

• 14:48Benito Skinner?

  Oh, my God, I love Beekeepers Naturals.

• 14:51Mary Beth Barone?

  Keep this in.

• 14:51Benito Skinner?

  Okay, so I spray the Propolis Immune Support Throat Spray. Oh, my God, it provides daily immune defense and soothes scratchy throats with vitamins, minerals, and over 300 beneficial compounds. It has like a sweet honey taste. I, I spray it at the back on my little, what's that called?

• 15:06Mary Beth Barone?

  Uh, the thingy.

• 15:07Benito Skinner?

  I love spraying that. Your daily dose of immunity for proactive immune support. Okay, this, this spray could do it for you. They also have a nasal spray max.

• 15:16Mary Beth Barone?

  Ooh.

• 15:17Benito Skinner?

  It reduces histamine response.

• 15:18Mary Beth Barone?

  We're nasal spray maxing.

• 15:20Benito Skinner?

  Oh, God, oh, my God, I can't stop nasal spray maxing. It reduces histamine response and flushes congestion while providing an invigorating and clearing sensation, helping you breathe better. I have a whole thing about histamines lately, like most of us are not really rocking with them. We need to take care of ourselves.

• 15:37Mary Beth Barone?

  Mmm.

• 15:38Benito Skinner?

  So I'm glad I really got into the science of that. When germs start to increase during sick season, Propolis Immune Support Spray is a daily ritual that provides defense for the whole family. You can also just throw it in your purse or clutch or.

• 15:49Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, you can throw it in your clutch.

• 15:51Benito Skinner?

  Exactly. And you take that out and you spray it in your mouth and it's so delicious.

• 16:50Mary Beth Barone?

  We have to ride for stuff today. I just want to chat.

• 16:53Benito Skinner?

  Like, oh, my God, twist my nipples, dude. Um, well, it's gonna be quick rides. Cause I have other things.

• 16:58Mary Beth Barone?

  I really don't want to rush this opening.

• 17:00Benito Skinner?

  Totally. And well, let me, let me tell you.

• 17:02Mary Beth Barone?

  The best song wasn't the single, kid.

• 17:08Benito Skinner?

  Oh, my God, that's so me with like every record.

• 17:11Mary Beth Barone?

  Totally.

• 17:13Benito Skinner?

  Oh, my God.

• 17:13Mary Beth Barone?

  The single.

• 17:14Benito Skinner?

  Like, it's crazy that Lucky is on Oops, I Did It Again. To me personally, I don't know.

• 17:19Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, that's actually kind of mind-boggling.

• 17:21Benito Skinner?

  Isn't that like, just sit with that?

• 17:23Mary Beth Barone?

  They probably didn't think a ballad should be, a ballad should be first.

• 17:26Benito Skinner?

  In the Zone, though, is the best song on In the Zone because what could be better than that song? Cause if you really want a battle, let me get your rhythm, try to hit it, check it out.

• 17:35Mary Beth Barone?

  What was the other bit you did? I can't even remember. I'm sure it was really good, though.

• 17:38Benito Skinner?

  I was doing guy who. Cool shirt, lesbian. The hell? Come on, dress up, we're on the podcast. The fuck? So.

• 17:48Mary Beth Barone?

  Don't leave.

• 17:49Benito Skinner?

  That's actually triggering me because I, I can't. Girl, I got to. I'm going to London.

• 17:54Mary Beth Barone?

  Let me guess, Delta One.

• 17:56Benito Skinner?

  No, um, I'm in American Airlines. I don't know what their lay flat situation's called, but I'm sure gonna fucking find out.

• 18:03Mary Beth Barone?

  It's called first class. What do you want to know about this T-shirt?

• 18:06Benito Skinner?

  Well, first I want to say.

• 18:08Mary Beth Barone?

  My favorite shirt.

• 18:09Benito Skinner?

  I, I'm a [BLEEP] shirt. And I have a gift for you in line with that. But what the bit I was doing at your apartment, look at me, really focused, right? Type A, that's classic me.

• 18:19Mary Beth Barone?

  I know, it's because you just had a cracker sandwich.

• 18:21Benito Skinner?

  And a little shaken espresso rato. So I'm, I did this bit of straight guy who's kind of nervous to bring a girl back to his apartment, but also trying to show off. So I was like off the table, I was like, yep, I just got the place. And then I was doing like, like jumping pushups.

• 18:38Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 18:38Benito Skinner?

  And I had you and our girl, Fay.

• 18:41Mary Beth Barone?

  We were rolling on the floor.

• 18:42Benito Skinner?

  It was really fun. When I have two women who have had a long day and I walk into, I walk into their space, I'm thinking, well, it might as well be a bullseye.

• 18:50Mary Beth Barone?

  Right.

• 18:50Benito Skinner?

  This is gonna be.

• 18:51Mary Beth Barone?

  And we were cracking up.

• 18:52Benito Skinner?

  This is where a gay man comes to life. This is where we show our worst.

• 18:55Mary Beth Barone?

  Dear I, dear I say.

• 18:57Benito Skinner?

  Dear I say.

• 19:02Mary Beth Barone?

  Dare I say, it was as good as you walking across the Williamsburg Bridge with two ceramic candelabras vintage.

• 19:09Benito Skinner?

  After blowing up the chat, blowing up the group chat. Going, oops, it slipped.

• 19:18Benito Skinner?

  I'm laughing with my bottom teeth.

• 19:21Benito Skinner?

  Um, sir. On the note of your shirt.

• 19:27Mary Beth Barone?

  Please, get into it.

• 19:28Benito Skinner?

  So nine eleven, of course, the 25th anniversary happened. My algorithm wouldn't let me stop. I actually had to like finally stop opening TikTok. I couldn't stop watching stories. My thing is that I wanted to be reminded, as I said, I think in a previous episode, I don't want to be like desensitized to things.

• 19:44Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 19:44Benito Skinner?

  So I'm trying to make sure like I can still like get in there. But oh my God, I like know way too much about like steel beams.

• 19:51Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, you know, my next big project.

• 19:52Benito Skinner?

  What is it, hun?

• 19:53Mary Beth Barone?

  We're gonna bleep this.

• 19:57Benito Skinner?

  Whoa.

• 19:57Mary Beth Barone?

  It's, and it's gonna be pretty fucking intense. It's hard.

• 20:01Benito Skinner?

  We had to, we actually.

• 20:03Mary Beth Barone?

  Now, but she said. Get the paddles.

• 20:05Benito Skinner?

  Just now she said bozinga.

• 20:07Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 20:07Benito Skinner?

  As loud as she could.

• 20:09Mary Beth Barone?

  She said Epsom again because of what I just said.

• 20:11Benito Skinner?

  She's totally naked right now too, with two basketballs over her chest.

• 20:16Mary Beth Barone?

  We've lost her, unfortunately. We're gonna have to mix this ourselves, I guess.

• 20:21Benito Skinner?

  She's going totally fucking AWOL.

• 20:22Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, she just lost her life savings on call she.com.

• 20:25Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 20:26Mary Beth Barone?

  Timothy Chalamet would like you to bet on call she.com.

• 20:29Benito Skinner?

  Excuse me? Is this a thing?

• 20:31Mary Beth Barone?

  He did sports betting ads, yeah. Why does everyone want you to go bankrupt?

• 20:36Benito Skinner?

  Literally, I'm like.

• 20:37Mary Beth Barone?

  I want you guys to have money so you can pay for your doctor's appointments.

• 20:40Benito Skinner?

  Literally.

• 20:40Mary Beth Barone?

  Your dogs and so that you can buy our merch.

• 20:44Benito Skinner?

  And so you could buy ride stuff and like anytime we go like to live or you pay for a Prime Video subscription, literally like, dude, it's not that big of a deal. Come on, don't gamble this stuff away. You only live once.

• 20:54Mary Beth Barone?

  You literally work so hard for your money, you're just gonna give it to richer people? Like, that makes no sense.

• 20:58Benito Skinner?

  Gambling is like really scary because that's like, that really can like totally ruin lives in such a deep way. I did ride for it at one point, but I take it all back, I guess.

• 21:07Mary Beth Barone?

  When?

• 21:07Benito Skinner?

  I take it all back.

• 21:10Mary Beth Barone?

  You're the CEO of the Sydney Sweeney's sports betting app.

• 21:13Benito Skinner?

  Exactly. I go, guys, I've got the ad. You know, the sexiest woman in Hollywood. Yeah.

• 21:21Mary Beth Barone?

  The tits that launched a thousand ships.

• 21:26Benito Skinner?

  Exactly. It was either her or Lupita for Helena of Troy and Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.

• 21:35Mary Beth Barone?

  And you said, I don't know which I want them to be focusing on.

• 21:38Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, guys, gamble all your fucking money. Gamble your money. Remember when I did my Sydney Sweeney in front of an ex of yours and he said it wasn't good?

• 21:48Mary Beth Barone?

  He said, is that it?

• 21:48Benito Skinner?

  It's not perfect.

• 21:49Mary Beth Barone?

  It's just for fun. It's just, it's a tape on her.

• 21:52Benito Skinner?

  Also, it's like, I don't want him to perfect it. Like, I'm out here grinding.

• 21:56Mary Beth Barone?

  Sebastian Stan.

• 21:57Benito Skinner?

  He just keeps me saying, I'm out here grinding.

• 21:59Mary Beth Barone?

  Cause I, I heard that. I am amplifying it. Sebastian Stan has shaved his head. He's gone bald. He's gone from our, our number one proponent of Nutriful.

• 22:09Benito Skinner?

  Smells like a tripped turkey to me.

• 22:12Mary Beth Barone?

  Ooh. You smell that?

• 22:15Benito Skinner?

  I just smelled a tripped turkey. No, I'm kidding, sorry. I all love to him and I don't know if that's true.

• 22:20Mary Beth Barone?

  He's transitioned into a bald legend. Straight from, straight from Nutriful, Sebastian Stan, you see how quick, you see how quick a true artist can do that? He's now become a bald legend.

• 22:35Mary Beth Barone?

  You can't see this, but.

• 22:36Benito Skinner?

  Moulon. Do you remember that?

• 22:38Mary Beth Barone?

  What? You keep bringing, is that?

• 22:44Benito Skinner?

  I used to scream that at my family.

• 22:47Mary Beth Barone?

  And they go, we know you're gay.

• 22:50Benito Skinner?

  Easy, Chris should go.

• 22:55Mary Beth Barone?

  But here's the thing, if we.

• 22:56Benito Skinner?

  Chris should go.

• 22:58Mary Beth Barone?

  If we didn't have, I was explaining this to earlier. If we didn't have so much oppression, we could have that as a term of endearment. But unfortunately, we've only regressed. We haven't progressed.

• 23:06Benito Skinner?

  I agree. No, and I agree. Amplify.

• 23:09Mary Beth Barone?

  Doodlebug.

• 23:10Benito Skinner?

  I'm the doodlebug. Quit infantilizing me.

• 23:12Mary Beth Barone?

  No.

• 23:13Benito Skinner?

  Quit infantilizing me.

• 23:14Mary Beth Barone?

  Honey, says the guy who writes himself as an 18 year old.

• 23:18Benito Skinner?

  Hi, you guys falling for it yet? I'm 48.

• 23:22Mary Beth Barone?

  So I.

• 23:23Benito Skinner?

  I love watching edits being like.

• 23:26Mary Beth Barone?

  I came up with a new concept because I think it's like funny when straight couples have pet names for each other. I think that's fine, but to say them in public is like interesting. I'm not judging or saying it's wrong. It's like, whatever works for you. But I was thinking for us, since we're just best friends.

• 23:41Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 23:42Mary Beth Barone?

  If I publicly started calling you doodlebug, like at events and stuff.

• 23:44Benito Skinner?

  You seen doodlebug?

• 23:46Mary Beth Barone?

  Where's doodlebug? Or I go, come here doodlebug. We're doing the carpet. We gotta do the press line doodlebug.

• 23:49Benito Skinner?

  Doodlebug.

• 23:50Mary Beth Barone?

  I call you in an interview.

• 23:52Benito Skinner?

  I love that.

• 23:53Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, so that's something I'm working on.

• 23:54Benito Skinner?

  Well, when doodlebug sent me the pilot.

• 23:56Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, Benny, that, oh, you mean, sorry, doodlebug? Yeah, yeah.

• 23:59Benito Skinner?

  Oh, go my God, yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry. I like, forget that's his name.

• 24:01Mary Beth Barone?

  Sorry, I'm just like, he's doodlebug to me. We're, we have like a really, like, we have like a personal relationship too.

• 24:07Benito Skinner?

  Sorry. That's DB, doodlebug.

• 24:14Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, my God. I don't want to.

• 24:17Benito Skinner?

  We have to.

• 24:18Mary Beth Barone?

  I do and I don't. Do you get that? Oh, wait, my last thing I'll say is.

• 24:22Benito Skinner?

  Should this just be the carpal with advertising? We could do it so quickly.

• 24:25Mary Beth Barone?

  Hmm, no, because I think we want space to breathe for that.

• 24:30Benito Skinner?

  Jones Road, down the Jones Road, driving my car down the Jones Road. Okay, so it's always fun to do an ad read without Mary Beth because I get to listen to her ads after she listens to mine. It's a lot like, um, we've recorded something and they're playing it at the bachelorette party. So I have used the Jones Road Beauty Miracle Balm for, I think honestly, years at this point, but it's absolutely fabulous. You can use your fingers, you can dab, dab, dab it on those cheekalinas. You can also put it on your forehead. It's kind of like a bronze blush hybrid. It's not that like cakey makeup look. It feels very fresh, very sexy in the summer. It's like, oh my God, I was just out in the sun all day. It smells delicious and it doesn't irritate my skin.

• 25:15Benito Skinner?

It's the ultimate no fuss multitasker. So you can get that effortless glowy look in under 60 seconds, just like queer as folk and overcompensating's Benny drama.

• 26:35Mary Beth Barone?

  With Tinder group hangouts.

• 26:37Benito Skinner?

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

• 26:40Mary 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?

• 26:52Benito Skinner?

  Oh, a doodle.

• 26:53Mary Beth Barone?

  And then zero decisions.

• 26:55Benito 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 date, 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.

• 27:16Mary Beth Barone?

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

• 27:18Benito Skinner?

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

• 27:19Mary Beth Barone?

  You've been using it quite frequently.

• 27:21Benito Skinner?

  Of course.

• 27:21Mary 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.

• 27:33Benito Skinner?

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

• 27:36Mary Beth Barone?

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

• 27:39Benito Skinner?

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

• 27:45Mary Beth Barone?

  Ooh.

• 27:46Benito Skinner?

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

• 27:51Mary Beth Barone?

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

• 27:53Benito Skinner?

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

• 27:57Mary Beth Barone?

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

• 28:02Benito Skinner?

  Come on!

• 28:03Mary Beth Barone?

  Try Tinder Group Hangouts, bring your friends, pick a plan, meet new people. Download Tinder today.

• 28:08Benito Skinner?

  Of course. I mean, hey, what could go wrong?

• 28:11Mary Beth Barone?

  I mean, it's not the craziest idea.

• 28:19Benito Skinner?

  You can't win if you don't play. Get your bag.

• 28:29Mary Beth Barone?

  Let's get into what we ride for.

• 28:30Benito Skinner?

  So today you will be riding for.

• 28:33Mary Beth Barone?

  Cow print moo.

• 28:36Benito Skinner?

  Whoa.

• 28:38Benito Skinner?

  Come on, Sally. Oh, wait, that was Shadow from Homeward Bound. That's not a cow impression.

• 28:46Benito Skinner?

  Recently, actually, I ran into someone with a golden retriever and they said his name was Shadow. And I go after Homeward Bound and the guy just looked at me and said, no. And I went, well, there's a famous golden retriever in a very iconic film named Shadow, so.

• 29:00Benito Skinner?

  We got a problem, man?

• 29:03Benito Skinner?

  Cause I got ninety nine.

• 29:05Mary Beth Barone?

  Problems with eight one.

• 29:07Benito Skinner?

  Ran in front of a car. I will be riding for taters.

• 29:11Mary Beth Barone?

  Potatoes.

• 29:12Benito Skinner?

  Taters, potato taters.

• 29:14Mary Beth Barone?

  It's insane that we haven't ridden for this road for this yet.

• 29:17Benito Skinner?

  Well, for a while I was gonna ride for Japanese sweet potatoes and I guess I'll start there.

• 29:20Mary Beth Barone?

  We're broadening, we're zooming out.

• 29:22Benito Skinner?

  Yes. So of course, I'm an Idahoan, a Boisean if you will.

• 29:28Benito Skinner?

  And potatoes are famous from Idaho. A russet is my favorite, if you wanted to know. And I have loved potatoes every day of my life since the day I was born. As long as I can remember, I've loved a tater. There's no, there's never been a french fry I didn't love. There's never been a sweet potato I didn't have to get to know. And a Japanese sweet potato has been fun to learn about in my twenties.

• 29:53Mary Beth Barone?

  Totally.

• 29:54Benito Skinner?

  When I, when all of a sudden California backyard cuisine said, here's a Japanese sweet potato and it's always on the menu. Something happened. There was such a shift. All time in LA, I probably have had up to fifteen hundred Japanese sweet potatoes by them.

• 30:12Mary Beth Barone?

  There is a new California backyard restaurant opened by Australians in Greenpoint, or no, it's not Greenpoint. In Williamsburg, the same owners of Glory Days have, they've, they had, they birthed a restaurant. Japanese sweet potatoes on the menu. Also like kennel and hazelnut type shit. You know what I'm saying?

• 30:30Benito Skinner?

  Period.

• 30:30Mary Beth Barone?

  So I went there, I actually went there on Saturday and it was so good. So it's called Gloria. Check it out. I'm gonna take you there for a date night in the sky.

• 30:38Benito Skinner?

  I cannot wait.

• 30:40Mary Beth Barone?

  Japanese sweet potatoes.

• 30:41Benito Skinner?

  Oh my God, I just, they're never bad. Like, that's what's so fabulous about a potato. And that's why, I mean, it's interesting. Idaho has such a crazy history with them. I'll get into it a little bit. There's this kind of like legendary billionaire, I believe billionaire from Idaho and his name was Simplot. And he worked with Roy Kroc at McDonald's and Idaho supplied the potatoes for the McDonald's french fry. And so I think that's mostly a part of the fame of potatoes. But also like we produce a lot of potatoes. And the Five Guys fries are, I think predominantly, if not always, Idaho potatoes.

• 31:15Mary Beth Barone?

  The highest calorie count for a fry you can get.

• 31:18Benito Skinner?

  That's right.

• 31:19Mary Beth Barone?

  For an order.

• 31:20Benito Skinner?

  That's right.

• 31:21Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 31:21Benito Skinner?

  That, oh shit. But I'm homegrown and I have homegrown values. And so my entire life, potatoes, they're always on, they're, they're gonna be on my dish. And if they're on the menu, I'm getting them. I have to try them in every. And by the way, when you fucking add rosemary to a potato, you're my best friend. I love you.

• 31:40Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 31:40Benito Skinner?

  You're the best. I just think like, I've never met one I didn't love. They're hearty. It's a great starch. It's a great carb.

• 31:48Mary Beth Barone?

  You haven't even talked about baked potatoes.

• 31:49Benito Skinner?

  They can be good for you. They can be bad for you.

• 31:51Mary Beth Barone?

  They can be really bad for you.

• 31:52Benito Skinner?

  So cool about them too. That's range.

• 31:54Mary Beth Barone?

  And it's, it's duality.

• 31:56Benito Skinner?

  So you wanna talk about baked potato? Have you ever had a little baked potato with the, you squeeze it open, you go.

• 32:02Benito Skinner?

  And then you put butter in it and then you melt cheddar cheese on top.

• 32:05Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 32:05Benito Skinner?

  You maybe do a little bit of salt and pepper. That's one of my favorite baked potato little things. I don't like to, when people start doing all the sour cream and all that, I'm like, okay, definitely like do your thing. That's not my personal preference.

• 32:17Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm not gonna tell you what the British are doing to jacket potatoes, is what they call them.

• 32:21Benito Skinner?

  They're, they're putting beans on those.

• 32:23Mary Beth Barone?

  They're putting tuna on them.

• 32:25Benito Skinner?

  They're putting tuna and beans and actually.

• 32:27Mary Beth Barone?

  Kinda good.

• 32:28Benito Skinner?

  Fucking major.

• 32:29Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, I haven't had one in a while, but.

• 32:30Benito Skinner?

  That's like, to me, across the board, I love all those things. Feel free to put them in a potato. I love everything I've had in potato. I like sour cream to me. I'm just like, I never have it. So, but if you, if you put it in front of me, I'm gonna eat it. When someone takes out a ladle, someone, it could be anyone, takes out a ladle and puts chili on a potato. How cool is that?

• 32:51Mary Beth Barone?

  That's really cool.

• 32:52Benito Skinner?

  I mean, come on.

• 32:53Mary Beth Barone?

  I mean, cow.

• 32:53Benito Skinner?

  That's what I'd make for you if you came over to my place.

• 32:56Mary Beth Barone?

  If you were trying to wine and dine.

• 32:57Benito Skinner?

  Oh, hey, what's up? I've been making chili. That's what I'm gonna say to you one day. And you, you actually will know in that moment, an alien has come.

• 33:03Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 33:03Benito Skinner?

  And taken me. It's not, you're not talking to me.

• 33:05Mary Beth Barone?

  No, it's body snatchers.

• 33:06Benito Skinner?

  Talking to your doodlebug anymore. That's an alien.

• 33:08Mary Beth Barone?

  That's not doodlebug.

• 33:09Benito Skinner?

  You're not doodlebug.

• 33:10Mary Beth Barone?

  Say something only doodlebug can know.

• 33:17Mary Beth Barone?

  So get, get in here. So I, I mean, I could, hello, potato right here.

• 33:24Benito Skinner?

  Oh, I didn't even talk about potato chips or crisps. My favorite, by the way, is kettle. They have them in London. They're kettle balsamic.

• 33:31Mary Beth Barone?

  Balsamic vinegar jazz. Yeah. They're so good.

• 33:36Benito Skinner?

  I just like.

• 33:40Mary Beth Barone?

  There's just too, there's honestly too much to say.

• 33:42Benito Skinner?

  There's too much to say.

• 33:43Mary Beth Barone?

  Imagine living through a potato famine and how, how hard that would be. Cause the Irish lived it.

• 33:47Benito Skinner?

  I know. That's what's like, I can't imagine. And I'm like, I of course would never say that I could.

• 33:52Mary Beth Barone?

  And they've been through a lot of other bad stuff too.

• 33:54Benito Skinner?

  I agree.

• 33:54Mary Beth Barone?

  And you know who I think should get a famine right now? Ed Sheeran. The Irish don't claim you. As someone that's forty percent Irish, we don't claim you. We don't.

• 34:03Benito Skinner?

  I'm twenty five percent Irish. Nah, he's not mine.

• 34:05Mary Beth Barone?

  I don't even know if he's Irish. He could be British for all I know.

• 34:08Benito Skinner?

  He might as well, well, be one of them weasleys.

• 34:12Mary Beth Barone?

  Potatoes are family to me. My mom loves to cook different, potatoes in so many different types of ways. So my mom got a mandolin. At a certain point in my childhood where you can like, you can slice the potatoes so fine that you can actually make chips. So she was just doing some shit like that. And my drag name would be Amanda Lynn.

• 34:33Benito Skinner?

  Oh, totally.

• 34:33Mary Beth Barone?

  Amanda, first name Amanda, last name Lynn. Also Amanda Lynn, the guitar.

• 34:37Benito Skinner?

  Exactly.

• 34:37Mary Beth Barone?

  And then the one that you shred.

• 34:38Benito Skinner?

  You came home and you're all like, check the oven.

• 34:43Benito Skinner?

  And you went, what? And you pulled it down and you saw fresh crisps.

• 34:47Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, it was.

• 34:48Benito Skinner?

  She goes, you like that smell sweetheart? I love you.

• 34:52Benito Skinner?

  So it's just hard to even talk about potatoes when, I guess, the last thing I wanna say on potatoes for now, cause I'll never put a period at the end. Is Marilyn Monroe in the potato sack is one of my favorite images of all time. I'm trying to find the right one to put in my apartment. But I just love it because the concept of like she could wear a potato sack and look fabulous. And of course she did. But there's just something about, I feel a sense of pride because I'll say I'm from Idaho and people are always like, yeah, potatoes. And I'm like, yeah. And what's your little hometown producing other than a little judgmental twat?

• 35:28Mary Beth Barone?

  Fracking probably.

• 35:29Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, I'm like, other than coming for Benny drama.

• 35:32Mary Beth Barone?

  Fracking, cool.

• 35:32Benito Skinner?

  Coming for doodlebug.

• 35:35Mary Beth Barone?

  What, you're like Mormon there or something?

• 35:38Benito Skinner?

  Literally.

• 35:38Mary Beth Barone?

  Utah.

• 35:39Benito Skinner?

  Exactly. Well, there's a lot of Mormons in Idaho too, but I'm probably making potatoes, but still. But yeah, all I gotta say is crack open a good potato today and enjoy it on us.

• 35:49Mary Beth Barone?

  Hey, crack on.

• 35:50Benito Skinner?

  Oh God, you know what's incredible? There's one thing in Idaho that I love. West Side Drive-In. It's like, it's fabulous. It's the best place ever in Boise. They have a ice cream potato and it's a, like a shaped in the. That real delicious log of potato. Shaped in a tater. It's vanilla ice cream with cocoa powder over it. So it looks like a potato. With cream on top, so it looks like sour cream. And then black, black, black, black sprinkles to look like pepper.

• 36:19Mary Beth Barone?

  You know what that makes me think of? Disney's The Kid, which introduced an entire generation to dipping your french fries in a, in a milkshake. Which is so fucking powerful. I never heard of it before.

• 36:28Benito Skinner?

  So you give Wendy's to me.

• 36:30Mary Beth Barone?

  Thanks, hon. But remember in, in Disney's The Kid when he wipes his eyes too hard and then he has like an eye twitch for the rest of his life?

• 36:36Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 36:36Mary Beth Barone?

  Has that like really stuck with anyone else? And you're just like way more careful when you rub your eyes. Cause to me, that was like, that's one of those things that like, I just like, it never left me.

• 36:46Benito Skinner?

  Quicksand's never left me. So, but yeah, I know what you mean.

• 36:49Mary Beth Barone?

  That was really mainstream though. I guess you're not a, you weren't a cinephile from a young age.

• 36:52Benito Skinner?

  No, I was definitely more out and playing in the fields and just enjoying my life. I wasn't really glued to the, the tube. Kidding. I watched like Hunchback of Notre Dame twelve times.

• 37:04Mary Beth Barone?

  A day.

• 37:04Benito Skinner?

  And I learned what sexuality was. And like the problems with

• 37:08Mary Beth Barone?

  And acceptance, I would say.

• 37:10Benito Skinner?

  Maybe acceptance, but in the end, she's kind of like, no, I'm like, definitely gonna fuck like the hot soldier guy.

• 37:15Mary Beth Barone?

  I don't remember the ending.

• 37:16Benito Skinner?

  But have fun quasi.

• 37:17Mary Beth Barone?

  I don't remember the ending.

• 37:18Benito Skinner?

  She's kind of like, oh, the fuck, you thought I loved you? Don't be crazy.

• 37:22Mary Beth Barone?

  That's like atonement where I just, I stop it where I think it should end.

• 37:25Benito Skinner?

  Just the library scene and then before they get caught?

• 37:29Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, yeah.

• 37:30Benito Skinner?

  Yeah. So you're about like 15 minutes in.

• 37:32Mary Beth Barone?

  That's fine. It's a short film.

• 37:33Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, of course. Well, it's a short.

• 37:35Mary Beth Barone?

  I want to talk about cow print.

• 37:36Benito Skinner?

  Hey, and I mean, what a, this is our big Western episode, by the way.

• 37:40Mary Beth Barone?

  Boy Story Five Woody, by the way, on the water bottle.

• 37:43Benito Skinner?

  My first cow print.

• 37:45Mary Beth Barone?

  Everyone remembers their first cow print.

• 37:47Benito Skinner?

  Knew who he was at a young age. My first cow print full, those, I knew that I loved putting on stirrups in that moment as a kid. I went, well, this feels like it's for me.

• 37:57Mary Beth Barone?

  I remember my first cow print, which was from Gap. They had velvet cow print leggings for kids. And those were my prized possession. My best friend at the time and I had matching, matching pairs. I don't know what it is about cows that women are so endeared by. Maybe it's because the cows are like mothers or something, but like, even though cow is like, I guess, an insult or whatever, like to me, like cow print just transcends any negative associations. And I have a cow print new me bag right now that kind of looks like a pencil case and I just love swinging that thing around.

• 38:30Benito Skinner?

  I know.

• 38:31Mary Beth Barone?

  And I, we have cow print Uggs on the way.

• 38:34Benito Skinner?

  Oh my God. Thank you, Ugg Australia. Straight to camera. Thank you, Ugg Australia. I can't fucking wait. Hey, Ugg Australia, thanks for reaching out. Getting an email from our manager. She just, Mac, we love you so much. She, all I see in my email, new email, cow print?

• 38:49Mary Beth Barone?

  Cow print, question mark.

• 38:50Benito Skinner?

  And I went, oh, well, might as well be a bullseye. Yes.

• 38:53Mary Beth Barone?

  There's something so familiar and comforting and I think if you put, yeah, if you put cow print on something like I'm just in, you know? So I think it, to me, I don't know. It's sort of like women's relationship with the song Vienna by Billy Joel. Like it's celebratory, it's womanhood, but it's also hard and like cows work so hard. I don't know. They provide so much for us.

• 39:16Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, I know. I get everything you're saying. I get that. It's like, it feels like a very like a feminine, there's a femininity to a cow print.

• 39:24Mary Beth Barone?

  The thing that I love about cow print is that actually it doesn't make sense. Based on the associations we have as a culture to cows.

• 39:31Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 39:32Mary Beth Barone?

  Like the fact that women want to wear it, it doesn't really make sense and I love that.

• 39:35Benito Skinner?

  Well, to me, I'm like, it feels like, yeah, mother's milk and producing something beautiful and nurturing and delicious. And also like just aesthetically, a gorgeous print.

• 39:45Mary Beth Barone?

  Gorgeous.

• 39:46Benito Skinner?

  Like if I'm looking at that print, that's one of the top ones. It's like, it's, it keeps you guessing. It's not always the same.

• 39:52Mary Beth Barone?

  It's not, and it's, it's sometimes it's black and sometimes it's brown.

• 39:55Benito Skinner?

  That's what's so cool about it. Yeah. I, I mean, I, I kind of want to get into it more. I think I'd love it. You know what I'd love? I love like a little, I open the coat and you see it.

• 40:03Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, it's like that belt you have, the cheetah print belts.

• 40:06Benito Skinner?

  Oh, isn't that cool? I forgot about that belt. I'd love if that was in cowhide. Not actual cow, by the way.

• 40:12Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, imitation cowhide.

• 40:14Benito Skinner?

  Imitation cowhide. Cause they don't, I don't, I mean, not that I've seen.

• 40:18Mary Beth Barone?

  Wear cow print with like, with the animal stuff?

• 40:20Benito Skinner?

  Well, you're not wearing, as long as it's not real.

• 40:23Mary Beth Barone?

  Right.

• 40:23Benito Skinner?

  Like it's a, if it's a reproduction.

• 40:25Mary Beth Barone?

  It's just like a print.

• 40:26Benito Skinner?

  This is a tricky thing to me because I'm like, is that glorifying that? Or is it just like celebrating how beautiful that is?

• 40:32Mary Beth Barone?

  The animal.

• 40:32Benito Skinner?

  That's wearable art to me. As long as you're not killing that cow, I think celebrating how beautiful it is feels, to me personally, I, I'm not. It was like when Scaparelli did the lion head dress.

• 40:44Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 40:44Benito Skinner?

  And then it was like, there was a lot of pushback on that. And I'm, I, I understand where that's coming from, but I'm also like, isn't that incredible that you could make that? You don't have to slaughter an innocent animal who's beautiful to put it on. Instead, it feels like, but then is it like you're wearing the animal still? So it's.

• 41:01Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm sure someone knows.

• 41:02Benito Skinner?

  For Cruella.

• 41:03Mary Beth Barone?

  For Cruella. I'm sure someone knows. Next thing I need, I think for my wardrobe is a cow print cowboy boot. I would love that, but I'll start with the Ugg boot.

• 41:13Benito Skinner?

  You got it, princess.

• 41:15Mary Beth Barone?

  That's really all I wanted to say.

• 41:16Benito Skinner?

  To a woman.

• 41:17Mary Beth Barone?

  I know.

• 41:18Benito Skinner?

  I could treat you so good. Brush your hair.

• 41:22Mary Beth Barone?

  Tuck me in.

• 41:23Benito Skinner?

  Watch Looney Tunes with you. All the shit girls love.

• 41:25Mary Beth Barone?

  All the shit girls love.

• 41:27Benito Skinner?

  All that shit girls love. I love rubbing feet lately.

• 41:30Mary Beth Barone?

  Okay, this is news to me.

• 41:32Benito Skinner?

  Hey, dear media, clip that.

• 41:34Mary Beth Barone?

  That's good to know as you're about to leave for a month.

• 41:38Benito Skinner?

  Sorry. Give me them toesies. It's not a foot fetish. Like I'm not, those aren't going anywhere near my mouth, but it is. I just, lately I'm like, if I love you, give me those, give me those toesies. Yeah. Cause I can't scratch, but I want to provide a nurturing comfort.

• 41:52Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, yeah, I haven't been, I haven't been nurtured like that in a while. Anyway.

• 41:57Benito Skinner?

  What do you think I'm here for?

• 41:58Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, I don't see a couch in here.

• 42:00Benito Skinner?

  Not yet.

• 42:01Mary Beth Barone?

  We can get one. Let's get in a ride or die.

• 42:03Benito Skinner?

  I'd love a cowhide couch. Again, when I say cowhide, cow print, maybe I'm gonna say cow print. I keep saying cowhide. Sorry, it's the Idaho in me. But I feel like, yeah, that's what I want.

• 42:13Mary Beth Barone?

  Cow print.

• 42:13Benito Skinner?

  Cow print.

• 42:14Mary Beth Barone?

  Ride or die. Let's go.

• 42:15Benito Skinner?

  Cow print. A cow print tie. I think Boteiga did that.

• 42:19Mary Beth Barone?

  A cow print little hat situation.

• 42:22Benito Skinner?

  Okay, cool.

• 42:23Mary Beth Barone?

  I want a cow print cowboy hat that has a New York Yankees logo on it.

• 42:27Benito Skinner?

  I know that I could find that in five minutes, less, actually.

• 42:31Mary Beth Barone?

  And I want it to cost $300.

• 42:32Benito Skinner?

  Wait, easier, yeah, done. Easier.

• 42:35Mary Beth Barone?

  Okay.

• 42:35Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 42:35Mary Beth Barone?

  Cool.

• 42:36Benito Skinner?

  I ride for cow print. I love cows. There used to be this kind of weird arcade in Boise. I forget what it was called, but they had like a milk, like an udders thing. And so, so if you want to watch me do that again.

• 42:52Mary Beth Barone?

  And I do.

• 42:53Benito Skinner?

  Yeah. So it'd be at the arcade and it's like, how much can you milk this cow? And so I have a lot of beautiful nostalgia for, for cows. I also just love cows. I love petting cows. Have you ever milked a cow?

• 43:03Mary Beth Barone?

  No, I, I think actually I have maybe in Vermont once.

• 43:06Benito Skinner?

  Oh, I want you to do it in Elia with your hood on.

• 43:09Mary Beth Barone?

  Done.

• 43:10Benito Skinner?

  With that dress with the hood on it.

• 43:11Mary Beth Barone?

  And, and a cow print cowboy boot.

• 43:13Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 43:13Mary Beth Barone?

  Done.

• 43:14Benito Skinner?

  And you introduce yourself as maiden to everyone.

• 43:16Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm maiden. And this is my husband's doodlebug.

• 43:19Benito Skinner?

  Should I call you maiden?

• 43:20Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 43:20Benito Skinner?

  Oh, that's maiden.

• 43:21Mary Beth Barone?

  Maiden.

• 43:23Benito Skinner?

  Wait, that's your pop star name.

• 43:25Mary Beth Barone?

  And my, my pop star name is maiden and my drag name is the mandolin. Go on.

• 43:29Benito Skinner?

  I also watched Mother Mary with a Mother and we were both trying to kind of find our way around it.

• 43:35Mary Beth Barone?

  The movie.

• 43:36Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 43:36Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 43:37Benito Skinner?

  That's all I'm gonna say. It was just interesting. I just think, as I said before, I just take things in. I don't need to be a critic of everything. Like I'm enjoying art and it's cool to see all your guys' takes on it. I'm having a good time.

• 43:49Mary Beth Barone?

  Me too.

• 43:50Benito Skinner?

  But to me, cow print feels like Idaho. It feels like something my mom would love on like a J Crew loafer, which is really cute.

• 44:00Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, I love that it can be highbrow and it can be lowbrow. It's like you can be, you can dress as a cow for Halloween and the like, you know, one piece from Party City. Or you can buy like, yeah, like a Gucci loafer.

• 44:11Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 44:12Mary Beth Barone?

  Or something.

• 44:12Benito Skinner?

  Full of cow.

• 44:13Mary Beth Barone?

  Full of cow.

• 44:14Benito Skinner?

  But fake cow.

• 44:14Mary Beth Barone?

  Imitation cow.

• 44:15Benito Skinner?

  Imitation cow.

• 44:16Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 44:16Benito Skinner?

  It's just gorgeous. And I think nature provides so many beautiful prints for us to look at. Thank you, animals. You're the best.

• 44:23Mary Beth Barone?

  And I, on that note, as far as nature providing, I love that potatoes are casual, casualty free and cruelty free.

• 44:30Benito Skinner?

  Exactly.

• 44:30Mary Beth Barone?

  We don't have to worry about how they're raised or if they're kept in battery, whatever, what are they called?

• 44:36Benito Skinner?

  The KFC chickens.

• 44:37Mary Beth Barone?

  The KFC and the battery hens.

• 44:38Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 44:39Mary Beth Barone?

  They can just grow from the earth. I hope, hey, never stop. Never stop growing. Never stop evolving. We love you. We love you, potatoes.

• 44:45Benito Skinner?

  They didn't even have potatoes in Interstellar. That's when I knew like, things were dire on earth.

• 44:49Mary Beth Barone?

  It's the last Okra, honey.

• 44:51Benito Skinner?

  I promise if there's not potatoes on earth, I'm not here anymore. I'm going elsewhere. I'll find them somewhere else.

• 44:58Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm going whoosh.

• 44:59Benito Skinner?

  I'm to the fricking moon, dude.

• 45:02Mary Beth Barone?

  Would you grow potatoes with me on the moon?

• 45:05Benito Skinner?

  Of course. I love the thought of my daughter. I'm never gonna have one, but she's Murph. She's 140, waiting for me to get back. And she goes, I know your wife's on that, that planet waiting for you to come home. You know, her final monologue? I sob every time.

• 45:21Mary Beth Barone?

  It's really good.

• 45:22Benito Skinner?

  All right. Little potato, yeah. Well, you just lost him.

• 45:30Mary Beth Barone?

  Thank you.

• 45:31Benito Skinner?

  If you having girl problems, I feel bad for your son.

• 45:34Mary Beth Barone?

  That's good. That's good outro.

• 45:35Benito Skinner?

  Not in our problems, but a eight one. Say it with me. Hit me.

• 45:46Benito Skinner?

  Oh, my exit.

• 45:48Mary Beth Barone?

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

• 45:55Speaker 03

  Ride.
