  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?

  Never underestimate the power of a good fuck. I have shown up at your apartment so many times and said that first thing and I realized I've never said that on the pod.

• 0:21Mary Beth Barone?

  And what's that from?

• 0:22Benito Skinner?

  Nothing. That's, sometimes you've got it.

• 0:25Mary Beth Barone?

  It sounds like Samantha Jones.

• 0:26Benito Skinner?

  Yes, but she's never said that. Like, of course, that's the inspiration.

• 0:30Mary Beth Barone?

  But Mandela effect is, she has.

• 0:33Benito Skinner?

  Probably.

• 0:34Mary Beth Barone?

  In the Fleet Week episode.

• 0:35Benito Skinner?

  Another lifesaver in my mouth. We're back at Hoff Studios, two weeks in a row.

• 0:39Mary Beth Barone?

  You asked me if gluten free bread is still carbs? And I said, yes, I don't know how, but I do know that they are. I don't know what makes a carb a carb.

• 0:49Benito Skinner?

  Remember when we walked by that vegan restaurant in Williamsburg and literally like, I could feel my body start to make a fart?

• 0:56Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 0:56Benito Skinner?

  Like, I could feel.

• 0:58Mary Beth Barone?

  That place is so good, but only if you wanna like not see anyone for the rest of the day.

• 1:03Benito Skinner?

  The witchcraft of vegan food.

• 1:05Mary Beth Barone?

  Vegan Mexican.

• 1:06Benito Skinner?

  I had vegan nachos once and oh my God, it was like, have you heard of the term guff? God, I can't even say it.

• 1:14Mary Beth Barone?

  No, but I'm scared.

• 1:15Benito Skinner?

  Guff is like, it's like a, it's, I think, I wouldn't say British slang, but it's like, the Brits will sometimes say guff.

• 1:23Mary Beth Barone?

  As a what?

• 1:23Benito Skinner?

  Have you not? As a fart. And I'm like, there's something about it that's, I, I find nothing tickles me more except a water company being called basically.

• 1:33Mary Beth Barone?

  Turn it more, turn it more.

• 1:34Benito Skinner?

  Basically.

• 1:36Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, it's basically water. Just like squirt is basically pee.

• 1:40Benito Skinner?

  I love the thought that this is basically, like, there might be something else in it. It's kind of what they're implying.

• 1:45Mary Beth Barone?

  It's basically water.

• 1:47Benito Skinner?

  Shop basically at GoPuff.

• 1:48Mary Beth Barone?

  Just like, this is basically a podcast.

• 1:50Benito Skinner?

  It's basically water.

• 1:51Mary Beth Barone?

  This is basically a podcast.

• 1:52Benito Skinner?

  No, totally. And overcompensating is basically a comedy, but I don't know. There's other things.

• 1:57Mary Beth Barone?

  Right.

• 1:57Benito Skinner?

  The natural kind.

• 1:58Mary Beth Barone?

  I wanted to just say and come clean about the fact that this top is my last item of clothing that I own from Brandy Melville. After I watched the Brandy Melville documentary, which I highly encourage everyone to go do, there's a lot of. There's a lot of inconvenient truths in there.

• 2:13Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 2:14Mary Beth Barone?

  Inconvenient truths. It's a spiritual sequel to Inconvenient Truths.

• 2:17Benito Skinner?

  Great title, by the way. Al Gore, I know you didn't vote for him.

• 2:21Mary Beth Barone?

  I know we, I know.

• 2:21Benito Skinner?

  When are we gonna burn this witch?

• 2:23Mary Beth Barone?

  Did he ever actually say that he invented the internet or was that just SNL? It's one of those things where I'm not sure.

• 2:28Benito Skinner?

  I agree. I don't know.

• 2:29Mary Beth Barone?

  But we should watch, everyone should watch the Brandy Melville documentary. It's not just about how the company is destroying the planet. It's also about how the people at the top of the company are neo Nazis.

• 2:38Benito Skinner?

  Okay, sorry. I went completely somewhere else during that and I agree with everything you say and all your takes.

• 2:43Mary Beth Barone?

  I know. I tell people that. I tell people that.

• 2:46Benito Skinner?

  I literally do.

• 2:47Mary Beth Barone?

  I say, I know that I talk about politics more, but what's great about Benny is that if I tell him something is a certain way, he believes me and he will tell other people.

• 2:54Benito Skinner?

  A hundred percent. I'm spreading the good news.

• 2:56Mary Beth Barone?

  And if I could find a straight guy like that.

• 2:58Benito Skinner?

  You might.

• 3:02Benito Skinner?

  With my mustache. Oh my God, that was.

• 3:05Mary Beth Barone?

  That was really scary. Also, every time I talk about dating guys, people are like, why don't you just date a girl? And it's like, I'm doing that too. Calm down.

• 3:11Benito Skinner?

  Easy.

• 3:12Mary Beth Barone?

  Please calm down.

• 3:13Benito Skinner?

  Easy Sally. Um, I.

• 3:15Mary Beth Barone?

  Let's not bring Sally into this.

• 3:18Benito Skinner?

  Cut it all. Wait.

• 3:19Mary Beth Barone?

  No, we're keeping it.

• 3:20Benito Skinner?

  Of course. Um, the Brandy Melville and you talking about the inconvenient truth made me think of, of course, Michael Moore.

• 3:27Mary Beth Barone?

  The Michael Moore, Fahrenheit nine 11.

• 3:29Benito Skinner?

  And in my head, I thought to myself, oh my God, that's who I want for your actors on actors. He's not an actor at all, but it's you and Michael Moore.

• 3:34Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, it's two of our great thinkers that we have.

• 3:38Benito Skinner?

  I literally am like.

• 3:39Mary Beth Barone?

  It's thinkers on thinkers.

• 3:39Benito Skinner?

  To people, you've done the same things for me in a lot of ways. And I think like, those are those combinations. I literally like, interview Mag, I want him to do the interview of you.

• 3:49Mary Beth Barone?

  I could, we could maybe overcompensating press. I want to do a roundtable. It's me, Michael Moore, Brady Corbeil.

• 3:55Benito Skinner?

  So good.

• 3:56Mary Beth Barone?

  And Don Cheadle. Oh, I was gonna say Don Cheadle, but Ashley Tisdale too.

• 4:00Benito Skinner?

  Well, it's always tip for tat with them.

• 4:03Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, if you don't get one, you try to get the other.

• 4:08Benito Skinner?

  I think that's us lately.

• 4:10Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 4:11Benito Skinner?

  Cause like, we be getting each other scraps, low key.

• 4:13Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, also people talk to me as if, they talk to me, they continue conversations they've had with you, with me. And I do know what they're talking about, but it's just like, it's a good thing we talk as much as we do.

• 4:25Benito Skinner?

  Right. Finish this mint.

• 4:26Mary Beth Barone?

  You don't have to, honey, honey, you don't have to apologize.

• 4:30Benito Skinner?

  I wonder how Chad from the Saunas date went.

• 4:34Mary Beth Barone?

  I don't know, but I hope, I hope we hear. Does he understand you can be contacted on social media?

• 4:40Benito Skinner?

  No, I think we both knew that that was it for us and it was perfect. And it was, and it was beautiful.

• 4:45Mary Beth Barone?

  Brutalist. And it was my favorite.

• 4:49Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm thinking about, I'm thinking about like spas and their relationship to brutalist architecture.

• 4:54Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 4:54Mary Beth Barone?

  And Millennial Cemetery, which we haven't talked about in a while.

• 4:57Benito Skinner?

  Oh my God, well.

• 4:58Mary Beth Barone?

  Which I still wanna do. It's very brutalist.

• 5:00Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 5:01Mary Beth Barone?

  Whoa, I didn't even realize that.

• 5:02Benito Skinner?

  Of course.

• 5:03Mary Beth Barone?

  So you guys know that our Millennial Cemetery, which also has froyo cremation or crematory?

• 5:07Benito Skinner?

  Crematory.

• 5:08Mary Beth Barone?

  Crematory. Um, and it's every, it's all white slabs and it's all flat.

• 5:12Benito Skinner?

  There's, um, so Go Greek opened in New York City and I mean, oh my God, like the pavement is hot.

• 5:18Mary Beth Barone?

  I mean, it's basically like, it's like the Whitney, like there's a line.

• 5:21Benito Skinner?

  Of course there's a line. You know what, some, I think people get so mad about line culture and I'm like, I think it's cool that people are excited about something.

• 5:28Mary Beth Barone?

  Good things come to those who wait.

• 5:29Benito Skinner?

  Exactly. It's very that.

• 5:30Mary Beth Barone?

  It's friction.

• 5:30Benito Skinner?

  And it's very this for some reason.

• 5:32Mary Beth Barone?

  It's friction. It's.

• 5:36Mary Beth Barone?

  It's, it's flirting like this.

• 5:39Benito Skinner?

  Has it been working? Have you used the things I've taught you?

• 5:41Mary Beth Barone?

  It hasn't worked, but I've, I've been trying. And it's, we're gonna get into, when I talk about overthinking, I have a really good story to share.

• 5:49Benito Skinner?

  I can't believe that like some people have been like, oh God, the way some people have been mutilated.

• 5:55Mary Beth Barone?

  Like what?

• 5:56Benito Skinner?

  Their tongues have been cut out.

• 5:57Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, like who? Is there a war and stuff?

• 6:00Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, like prisoners of war.

• 6:00Mary Beth Barone?

  But it's like, if you want me to tell the secrets, like, I have to keep it.

• 6:04Benito Skinner?

  Totally. And also it's like, you can cut out my tongue, but I'll probably still find a way to say it.

• 6:08Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, yeah. I know how you'd say it. Oh, and Theo, when we were in Venice was talking about how you wear blush.

• 6:14Benito Skinner?

  Wait, tell me everything.

• 6:16Mary Beth Barone?

  It literally went by too fast.

• 6:17Benito Skinner?

  How I wear blush?

• 6:18Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, we were talking about like beauty, uh, inspirations and he said you as one of them. And he's like, I've never seen someone wear blush like that. And I wanted to say it, but I didn't because Paige DeSorba was there. I was gonna say, well, he puts it on his hole.

• 6:31Mary Beth Barone?

  And I've never seen that either, but I just, I made, I implied it.

• 6:34Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, you go.

• 6:35Mary Beth Barone?

  I insinuated.

• 6:37Benito Skinner?

  And then you go, you head out the door. You put toasted teddy on your, on your own toasted teddy. You know what I mean? So if anyone wants to know how I'll do blush, I don't, am I wearing some today? I don't even know. It's just, it's also dizzy.

• 6:48Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, you're blonde, so how could you ever know something like that?

• 6:50Benito Skinner?

  I don't have a stitch on.

• 6:51Mary Beth Barone?

  I mean, basically.

• 6:52Benito Skinner?

  You do like a little, and I, um, who taught me this? I think this is from Rami.

• 7:01Mary Beth Barone?

  Rami Nager?

• 7:02Benito Skinner?

  The most hunky, delicious, perfect makeup artist in the world. He was like, go really high, cause it's like, it looks sporty, like you're sweating. So I go really high, do a little nose. And then recently, a friend of mine was like, you do this bone, cause this on men kind of protrudes. So then he's like, this would get a little crispy too.

• 7:21Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 7:21Benito Skinner?

  I'm gonna be the woman who lives in her shoe. I'm Carrie.

• 7:27Mary Beth Barone?

  You are Carrie, but I think I'm Carrie too in a way.

• 7:30Benito Skinner?

  I think we can all be Carrie if we want.

• 7:32Mary Beth Barone?

  And even if we don't want, sometimes you're Carrie.

• 7:35Benito Skinner?

  I'm, I've never been Miranda once. And I'm not saying that because I think, of course you have, sweetie.

• 7:42Mary Beth Barone?

  Cause I had a child out of wedlock with a bartender.

• 7:44Benito Skinner?

  Do you think I, I just don't see Miranda for me? I mean, I know I'd love her.

• 7:48Mary Beth Barone?

  I am dating Armie Hammer.

• 7:49Benito Skinner?

  I, she is with Armie Hammer. I loved, okay, I, the TikTok comments are so, I think like, it is where people come alive as, it's, it's.

• 7:58Mary Beth Barone?

  Community.

• 7:59Benito Skinner?

  It's community and it's like zingers. It is true comedians. Armie Hammer was on some podcast.

• 8:06Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, yeah.

• 8:07Benito Skinner?

  He was like, it's just crazy that I can't like, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm changed and I'll always be known for this one thing. And one girl was like, um, cannibalism? She's like, uh, is there anything worse than like when you're a cannibal once and then everyone gets mad? It's like, wait babe, no, this isn't like, you're not a victim here. You're a fucking crazy person.

• 8:29Mary Beth Barone?

  Cannibal.

• 8:30Benito Skinner?

  You're, you're a cannibal.

• 8:32Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah. There's, there is no coming back from cannibalism, I guess is what we're learning.

• 8:36Benito Skinner?

  I guess I'm like, I think I'll have empathy for you that, that's like what you desire. I don't, that's like, I'm sorry.

• 8:41Mary Beth Barone?

  Also that you did it with someone that maybe didn't wanna do it. So then it was like not on.

• 8:45Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 8:45Mary Beth Barone?

  And then she came and spoke out.

• 8:47Benito Skinner?

  Yeah. I'm like, yeah babe, I don't, this isn't really like a, hey, you missed my birthday parties kind of situation.

• 8:52Mary Beth Barone?

  No, it's like, hey, you're like, yeah.

• 8:54Benito Skinner?

  So you're cannibal.

• 8:55Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah. Oh, so yeah, yeah.

• 8:56Benito Skinner?

  So you're Hannibal, cannibal, the cannibal.

• 8:58Mary Beth Barone?

  You're a cannibal.

• 8:59Benito Skinner?

  But I am excited for you guys. I haven't followed him yet, but I might.

• 9:02Mary Beth Barone?

  You will. You will. I can't wait for our first pap walk. You and Armie. Arm and Arm and Armie.

• 9:10Benito Skinner?

  Arm and Hammer. That's your, wait, that's your first, you, you have your arm around him and you said, that's your caption?

• 9:15Mary Beth Barone?

  That's our hard launch, Arm and Hammer.

• 9:17Benito Skinner?

  And you're looking at the camera and he's looking forward.

• 9:19Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 9:20Benito Skinner?

  Mm-hmm. That's gonna be great.

• 9:22Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, I can't wait.

• 9:23Benito Skinner?

  I love that. I wonder where he is. Wasn't he selling real estate in like, the Bahamas? Is that what I heard?

• 9:30Mary Beth Barone?

  I think he was selling timeshares.

• 9:32Benito Skinner?

  But yet he still thinks he's smarter than us. But didn't he play the, the Vinkovas?

• 9:36Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, he played both.

• 9:38Benito Skinner?

  He played the Vinkovas.

• 9:39Mary Beth Barone?

  He played Vinkovik.

• 9:40Benito Skinner?

  He played the Vinkovai, of course. To me, I'm just like, why not just?

• 9:43Mary Beth Barone?

  But they're Republican.

• 9:44Benito Skinner?

  So I, if I could ask David Fincher anything, I'd ask, why not just cast twins? That's so difficult. And same with Parent Trap.

• 9:51Mary Beth Barone?

  You know what sucks?

• 9:52Benito Skinner?

  Do they have to do double, like, obviously Lindsay Lohan was perfect, but my God.

• 9:56Mary Beth Barone?

  But did you know that in, um, in The Social Network, another actor played the twin and then they CGI'd his face over the other actor? That's a tough blow.

• 10:06Benito Skinner?

  It's like when I got cut from Bros.

• 10:08Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, it's like when you got, it's like when you got cut.

• 10:10Benito Skinner?

  Have I told this story?

• 10:11Mary Beth Barone?

  I don't know.

• 10:11Benito Skinner?

  It's like my favorite thing ever.

• 10:13Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, and how, when we found out?

• 10:14Benito Skinner?

  Oh, yeah.

• 10:15Mary Beth Barone?

  Remember when we found out after the wedding show, which was our worst show we've ever done?

• 10:17Benito Skinner?

  Worst show we've ever done. We like just did not. It was crazy.

• 10:20Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, it was, many, many things went wrong. It was Murphy's Law that night.

• 10:24Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 10:24Mary Beth Barone?

  Charlie Puth was there. And then we went to dinner after to try to salvage the night and you got an email in that moment saying you'd been cut from Bros.

• 10:30Benito Skinner?

  It was really beautiful. Billy emailed me personally and was like, this seems like, we, we just had to cut a few of these scenes in this whole sequence. And it was like really lovely. It was so nice. It's kind of like both beautiful and just so like mortifying. The movie came out and I was like, I think it's important to go to theaters for all gay things. I will always buy a ticket for gay things. That's why I was at The Odyssey twice.

• 10:56Mary Beth Barone?

  Your narrative.

• 10:56Benito Skinner?

  Of course. So I, I, I told my sister, I'm like, will you come with me to Bros at the Century City Mall, which, I mean, it's like, as far as malls go, you and I recently went there when we were in LA. And I mean, could you believe it?

• 11:10Mary Beth Barone?

  Universal City Walk?

• 11:11Benito Skinner?

  No, no, no babe. The, um, that mall we were at where we had Zinke.

• 11:15Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh.

• 11:15Benito Skinner?

  We had, we had Le Bohr, which is very, je suis de la mort.

• 11:19Mary Beth Barone?

  De la mort. I'll have.

• 11:21Benito Skinner?

  Level.

• 11:22Mary Beth Barone?

  Level.

• 11:23Benito Skinner?

  Yes. With cauliflower rice.

• 11:27Benito Skinner?

  So. I just tickled you. So I have my sister take me and so we go and it's opening night and um, cause it's like butts and seats.

• 11:37Mary Beth Barone?

  Right.

• 11:38Benito Skinner?

  And so I'm there and Billy shows up.

• 11:41Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh.

• 11:41Benito Skinner?

  And to do.

• 11:43Mary Beth Barone?

  An intro?

• 11:44Benito Skinner?

  An intro, kind of like popping by.

• 11:46Mary Beth Barone?

  Surprise.

• 11:46Benito Skinner?

  I don't know if he saw me because I was just like, oh my God, if he saw me, it would just, he'd probably feel so bad. But he's, he was lovely and lovely about the whole thing. I think the clip exists on like a deleted scene somewhere because I saw it on TikTok.

• 11:57Mary Beth Barone?

  I want to see it.

• 11:58Benito Skinner?

  But it was really fun.

• 11:59Mary Beth Barone?

  I watched all your work. I watched.

• 12:00Benito Skinner?

  Things, babe. I was fully like um, like in witch drag.

• 12:04Mary Beth Barone?

  Right.

• 12:05Benito Skinner?

  I was like a makeup.

• 12:06Mary Beth Barone?

  And Jay Jordan was there, if I'm not mistaken.

• 12:07Benito Skinner?

  He was. Oh, my God. Yeah.

• 12:08Mary Beth Barone?

  I would love to see that.

• 12:09Benito Skinner?

  And Vinny.

• 12:11Mary Beth Barone?

  Vinny.

• 12:11Benito Skinner?

  Vinny Thomas.

• 12:11Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, my God.

• 12:12Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, it was, we were the three witches.

• 12:14Mary Beth Barone?

  All right, I gotta see that.

• 12:15Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, it's a good, we had really, we, I had so much fun doing that. I've never been more nervous. It was the first time in my life I haven't slept before something.

• 12:22Mary Beth Barone?

  Cause you were nervous.

• 12:22Benito Skinner?

  Cause I was so nervous. It was the first time I had done like a movie.

• 12:24Mary Beth Barone?

  This was like also like af- like pandemic vibes, like things were reopening, sort of.

• 12:29Benito Skinner?

  I think so. Yeah, it was. It was like twenty.

• 12:31Mary Beth Barone?

  Pressure was on.

• 12:32Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, maybe twenty twenty one, twenty twenty? I don't know.

• 12:36Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, speaking of movies, should we get into what we ride for?

• 12:38Benito Skinner?

  God, I'd really love that.

• 12:39Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm gonna ride for not overthinking.

• 12:41Benito Skinner?

  I'm gonna ride for movies on planes.

  Okay, so something about me is if you're gonna boink me, it's gonna be on a Brooklyn bedding mattress. Okay, just deal with that. So I've started thinking about my mattress as a part of my recovery routine. So since switching to my mattress from Brooklyn Bedding, my spine feels supported, my body fully relaxes when I sleep. And I'm not fighting to get comfortable at night. I fall asleep faster and I wake up feeling genuinely restored. This shift has made a real difference in how I feel every day. And sometimes I wake up and don't want to bitch slap the first person I talk to. Brooklyn Bedding designs and assembles every mattress in their Arizona factory. Zona girls, rise. No middlemen, no gimmicks, just top tier quality, honest pricing and real American craftsmanship for a better night's sleep.

• 15:08Benito Skinner?

  Brooklyn Bedding is an all-American success story, just like Mary Beth Barone. A guy named John started it all in Arizona. He learned the trade and, trade? And built his business from the ground up without a college degree, just like MB. Fast forward to today and it's still family run right here in the USA. Brooklyn Bedding knows sleep isn't one size fits all. That's why they offer mattresses for everybody, every seat style, even in hard to find sizes. Sleep hot, Brooklyn Bedding uses Glacio Tex, which is what I have. These are covers and they're copper infused foams and temperature regulating materials to help keep you cool and comfortable all night long. So daddy sweats and he wakes up in a pool of sweat and sometimes he thinks it's pee, but it's not, it's sweat. So Glacio Tex really helps me.

• 15:49Benito Skinner?

  Now, you know, it's time for me to talk about Hill House Home.

• 16:19Mary Beth Barone?

  Hill House's summer collection just dropped, new prints, new styles, and it might be their best yet. If you don't know Hill House, they're the brand behind the viral nap dress. One with the signature smocking that somehow makes everyone look good and feel amazing. It's been spotted on Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo and Hathaway. The list goes on. That's right, Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo. It has bridged that gap, much like Gracie Abrams. What makes Hill House different is how wearable everything is. Same dress for a coffee run, dinner out, a wedding, the beach, you never have to overthink it. And it's not just the dresses, the swim styles and tunics are perfect for your next vacation or a day at the pool. I guess I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that my sheets and bedding are from Hill House Home.

• 17:00Mary Beth Barone?

  So you can go to hillhoushome.com and see new arrivals or you can buy the literal same sheets that I have that I share with my dog Pinky. And every time I post, people are like, wait, where are those sheets from?

• 17:39Mary Beth Barone?

  Okay, visit hillhoushome.com and use code RIDE at checkout for twenty percent off your first purchase of a hundred and fifty dollars or more. You should, I think you should go first.

• 17:50Benito Skinner?

  Rose is a great one.

• 17:50Mary Beth Barone?

  Rose is a great movie to watch on a plane. I believe I rented it when it was out on demand and I watched it at home.

• 17:57Benito Skinner?

  Hey. Ally. Come on. That B means a lot in LGBT.

• 18:06Benito Skinner?

  So um, I've been loving movies on planes. I, I think it's something different. And the choices made, I don't think align sometimes with what your regular choice for a movie would be in a way.

• 18:19Mary Beth Barone?

  Mm hmm.

• 18:19Benito Skinner?

  So recently I did, I was on a plane and I watched Cars and Three Hundred.

• 18:24Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 18:24Benito Skinner?

  And as I told you, it's the Costco, the double pack, the jism pack.

• 18:28Mary Beth Barone?

  The jism pack. Do you want to talk more about that?

• 18:31Benito Skinner?

  Something for all the boys.

• 18:32Mary Beth Barone?

  Right.

• 18:33Benito Skinner?

  But I, I couldn't believe how long Cars was. That was a takeaway. It's really beautiful film, but I'm like, wow. I see why it kind of didn't appeal to me as a kid, kind of nothing about it is, are things I like. And that's no hate to Rascal Flatts, that's just not.

• 18:47Mary Beth Barone?

  We would, and we would never throw hate at Rascal Flatts. Life is a highway.

• 18:51Benito Skinner?

  Not once in my life and, and I'm gonna ride it.

• 18:53Mary Beth Barone?

  And I'm gonna ride it.

• 18:54Benito Skinner?

  Fucking long.

• 18:55Mary Beth Barone?

  And that is a song in Cheaper by the Dozen as well.

• 18:58Benito Skinner?

  Come on, it's always when they're kind of like getting their life together. So I watched that and then I watched Gerard Butler in Three Hundred. I have a crazy take on this and I, I wonder, I would love to do an essay on it.

• 19:08Mary Beth Barone?

  Hmm.

• 19:09Benito Skinner?

  I feel like it could really shake up the industry. So um.

• 19:14Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, I know what you're gonna say.

• 19:15Benito Skinner?

  In Three Hundred, I remember when Three Hundred came out, I was like, these are the biggest guys I've ever seen in my life. But in roid culture and maybe the Marvelification of masculinity and peptides. They're obviously ripped and look incredible, but like, I wouldn't say they're, I've seen bigger guys in Marvel things, of course.

• 19:33Mary Beth Barone?

  I, you've probably seen bigger guys in Fire Island.

• 19:36Benito Skinner?

  Mama!

• 19:36Mary Beth Barone?

  It's crazy.

• 19:38Benito Skinner?

  Living in your apartment.

• 19:39Mary Beth Barone?

  We have, literally.

• 19:40Benito Skinner?

  No, I've seen, I have seen.

• 19:41Mary Beth Barone?

  This.

• 19:42Benito Skinner?

  I've seen much bigger guys in, in WeHo. And WeHo had a Shake Shack.

• 19:46Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, it's Shake Shack. They're not even eating healthy.

• 19:48Benito Skinner?

  No.

• 19:53Benito Skinner?

  That is so you telling someone at dinner they're singular. You're so singular.

• 19:58Mary Beth Barone?

  You're so fucking singular.

• 20:00Benito Skinner?

  You're so singular.

• 20:00Mary Beth Barone?

  Born a different day than your twin.

• 20:02Benito Skinner?

  Telling someone that with their birthday, they're singular.

• 20:04Mary Beth Barone?

  That's fucking cool. How many twins are born on different days?

• 20:07Benito Skinner?

  No, it's like so singular. But I, I just was watching and I was like, whoa, this is so interesting because at the time I was like, these guys are yoked, was the term.

• 20:15Mary Beth Barone?

  I think this a lot, watching like Entourage, America's Next Top Model, like these programs that. I have a different idea of how people actually looked. Obviously, the bodies, the, the beauty standards were still insane and unrealistic, but.

• 20:27Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 20:27Mary Beth Barone?

  I, my brain was even worse back then.

• 20:30Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, I do remember Gerard Butler just doing things to my brain that I couldn't even, it was just like the crush I had on him.

• 20:36Mary Beth Barone?

  Sweet De La Monde.

• 20:36Benito Skinner?

  It was just Sweet De La Monde. It was, it was all encompassing. And, but it was so cool because they'd made that movie and um, uh, who made it? I don't know. Oh, Zack Snyder.

• 20:46Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 20:47Benito Skinner?

  Zack, they, Zack Snyder made that movie and I know that in the back of his mind, he thought. Everyone's gonna come to this. He made something for the whole family because it's like, as a gay guy, I could talk about that movie in the locker room and it wasn't really like that sus that I loved it.

• 21:01Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 21:02Benito Skinner?

  Cause they'd be like, yeah, I mean, tonight we dine in hell.

• 21:04Mary Beth Barone?

  He made the movie for closeted gay guys.

• 21:06Benito Skinner?

  When I want to go to. When I want to go to Sugarfish with you in Williamsburg, I just text you, tonight we dine in hell. God, I love it there.

• 21:15Mary Beth Barone?

  Me too.

• 21:15Benito Skinner?

  Do you remember the best thing that ever happened to us? Do we already talk about it on the pod?

• 21:18Mary Beth Barone?

  I don't remember. If we're repeating stories at this point, like I guess just enjoy the second way we tell it.

• 21:24Benito Skinner?

  Cause also like.

• 21:25Mary Beth Barone?

  We have no way of checking. We don't know.

• 21:27Benito Skinner?

  Check our memories too. Like I, I wonder like how much I'm retaining in some of it, but we were at um.

• 21:33Mary Beth Barone?

  Sugarfish Williamsburg.

• 21:34Benito Skinner?

  Sugarfish in Williamsburg and you were trying to show me something.

• 21:37Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, someone, it's a beautiful patron.

• 21:40Benito Skinner?

  Yes.

• 21:40Mary Beth Barone?

  And with someone dining in, had come up to us, a barony and said she loved the podcast.

• 21:44Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 21:44Mary Beth Barone?

  So then I was trying to show you someone's Instagram and my first thought was, well, I'll go ask the barony for her phone quickly. And I did, she gave it to me. We looked at what we needed to look at and it was done deal.

• 21:53Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 21:54Mary Beth Barone?

  And it was a beautiful moment of sisterhood and community.

• 21:56Benito Skinner?

  She was like, of course, yeah, take my phone.

• 21:57Mary Beth Barone?

  Like, didn't even second guess it. And it wasn't even like, oh, don't look at my search history. It's just like, I'll see that.

• 22:02Benito Skinner?

  No, you saw the, but we laughed at who she had looked up right before.

• 22:06Mary Beth Barone?

  Remember.

• 22:07Benito Skinner?

  Aziz Ansari.

• 22:08Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, yeah.

• 22:10Mary Beth Barone?

  Wow, this is the Legends episode.

• 22:11Benito Skinner?

  Whoa, okay, so I did remember.

• 22:13Mary Beth Barone?

  That's insane that you remember that.

• 22:14Benito Skinner?

  I just remember her going, fuck, I looked up Aziz.

• 22:16Mary Beth Barone?

  And we don't know why, and it's none of our business.

• 22:18Benito Skinner?

  No, it's not.

• 22:19Mary Beth Barone?

  And it's probably whatever. She had a good reason for it, whatever.

• 22:21Benito Skinner?

  Of course, you wanted to look him up. I'm like totally.

• 22:23Mary Beth Barone?

  She's just seeing what type of projects.

• 22:24Benito Skinner?

  I don't even know what mine would be like. Mine are just bizarre.

• 22:27Mary Beth Barone?

  Mine would be like fashion archive accounts, and then probably you, and then like.

• 22:31Benito Skinner?

  I do look you up a lot.

• 22:32Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, just to see what's happening.

• 22:34Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, you're muted, so I have to look you up.

• 22:35Mary Beth Barone?

  You have to go and cover your tracks.

• 22:37Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, of course.

• 22:38Mary Beth Barone?

  You know, I just want to share a movie that I watched on a plane.

• 22:40Benito Skinner?

  Please do. Tell me some of your favorites. Some of my shout out, some that are kind of on planes right now.

• 22:45Mary Beth Barone?

  And they're on the circuit.

• 22:46Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 22:46Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, recently I watched Obsession on a Plane.

• 22:49Benito Skinner?

  Such a, yeah, I don't think they made it for that.

• 22:51Mary Beth Barone?

  They didn't. I watched How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days on a Plane recently. I've watched that on planes many times. Devil Wears Prada.

• 22:56Benito Skinner?

  You know, I have so much. I have a hot take on How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days.

• 22:59Mary Beth Barone?

  But that we should save for another episode.

• 23:01Benito Skinner?

  Can't have something you never had. Well, you just lost him.

• 23:09Mary Beth Barone?

  Babe, that's incredible.

• 23:11Benito Skinner?

  My favorite part where he goes, well, you just lost him.

• 23:15Mary Beth Barone?

  It's incredible.

• 23:16Benito Skinner?

  My thing with those two fuckers.

• 23:17Mary Beth Barone?

  Mm hmm. I think we should save this for another episode, but we'll just say it again.

• 23:21Benito Skinner?

  I'm gonna say it now. We'll say it again later.

• 23:23Mary Beth Barone?

  Say it again.

• 23:23Benito Skinner?

  It's just funny to me. I think the one, the one thing with that film, and it's a perfect film in every way, except it does make me sick to my stomach. Cause I'm like, fuck, this is just, it's, it's.

• 23:35Mary Beth Barone?

  Cause it's just really good.

• 23:36Benito Skinner?

  The game of it, yeah, it's just, she's unbelievable in it, and he is.

• 23:39Mary Beth Barone?

  Composure.

• 23:42Benito Skinner?

  Composure magazine.

• 23:44Mary Beth Barone?

  It's not composure. Why aren't women's magazines talking about how to solve the Israel Palestine conflict? Cause if Andy Anderson was on the case, she'd have written about it by now, and it would be in Cosmo.

• 23:56Benito Skinner?

  And then she goes, that moment where she goes, I meant like shoes or bags. Like, you know, that being such a, but she really did say you can write anything. So that's kind of like on her. It's like, watch your words.

• 24:06Mary Beth Barone?

  Right, right, right, right.

• 24:07Benito Skinner?

  Do I think that article was right for composure? No. So I think like, ultimately the editor is like in the right.

• 24:13Mary Beth Barone?

  It's chicken or the egg.

• 24:15Benito Skinner?

  Totally.

• 24:16Mary Beth Barone?

  Are we gonna put, are we gonna start attracting different readers by having those articles in?

• 24:20Benito Skinner?

  Exactly.

• 24:20Mary Beth Barone?

  Or do we have to attract different readers first, and then we can have those articles? You know what I mean?

• 24:25Benito Skinner?

  I think they're making a sequel. That could be huge.

• 24:27Mary Beth Barone?

  That could be what it's about. It's about Andy's career trajectory.

• 24:29Benito Skinner?

  Them both finding out that they had both been playing games. I'm like, if that happened with me and someone, I'd be like, that's my husband.

• 24:36Mary Beth Barone?

  Right, like we're meant for each other.

• 24:37Benito Skinner?

  I'm like, that's so hot that we were both doing like some little game.

• 24:40Mary Beth Barone?

  And for careers, no less.

• 24:42Benito Skinner?

  Yes, but what I love about Andy Anderson is that when she pulls up to his house, she's like, I'm not playing games here. I'm gonna make this family love me. She's like, that's actually too far.

• 24:50Mary Beth Barone?

  That's the turn. That's the turn. Playing bullshit.

• 24:55Benito Skinner?

  Bullshit, mama.

• 24:56Mary Beth Barone?

  Bullshit.

• 24:57Benito Skinner?

  Bullshit.

• 25:00Benito Skinner?

  Oh, I love it. I love it. And I love, um, I love his Duke shirt. And then when they take a shower, it's very us after a long day.

• 25:06Mary Beth Barone?

  We shower together. Say water, shower with your bestie.

• 25:09Benito Skinner?

  And she's kind of like, I'll say it, not as a misogynistic gay guy, but she's kind of doing a lot for my, my smaller boob committees.

• 25:15Mary Beth Barone?

  Community. You know what else I watched on a plane recently?

• 25:18Benito Skinner?

  My smaller boob communities.

• 25:19Mary Beth Barone?

  Smaller boob communities. I watched Sing Song Blue, another Kate Hudson vehicle.

• 25:22Benito Skinner?

  I haven't seen that.

• 25:23Mary Beth Barone?

  Kate Hudson, Hugh Jackman. It's fabulously done.

• 25:25Benito Skinner?

  My parents are obsessed in.

• 25:27Mary Beth Barone?

  My mom loved it too.

• 25:27Benito Skinner?

  Not four times, has my dad said, she has a great voice.

• 25:30Mary Beth Barone?

  Great voice, singing, dancing, acting. I mean, it's just fabulous. I have to.

• 25:33Benito Skinner?

  It's like nine.

• 25:34Mary Beth Barone?

  Can't recommend it highly enough. I mean, there's not as much dancing, but she can dance. We know that.

• 25:39Benito Skinner?

  That's really fun.

• 25:40Mary Beth Barone?

  Where she's danced.

• 25:40Benito Skinner?

  It's funny you just watched that, cause I just watched that, How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days.

• 25:43Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, it's on the planes right now. Another thing that I watched on planes, well, so I watched Tar on a plane. Cause I needed three hours.

• 25:51Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, of course.

• 25:52Mary Beth Barone?

  Three uninterrupted hours.

• 25:53Benito Skinner?

  That's why I've seen Dune Two on a plane like multiple times.

• 25:56Mary Beth Barone?

  It didn't detract anything from me.

• 25:58Benito Skinner?

  Three straight guys just.

• 25:59Mary Beth Barone?

  Killed, they just killed themselves.

• 26:00Benito Skinner?

  They just killed somebody.

• 26:02Mary Beth Barone?

  It could have been themselves or other person.

• 26:04Benito Skinner?

  When have they ever done that?

• 26:05Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, I have a lot to say on that.

• 26:07Benito Skinner?

  Okay.

• 26:08Mary Beth Barone?

  In my new hour. That's 15 minutes right now.

• 26:10Benito Skinner?

  Yes.

• 26:10Mary Beth Barone?

  So.

• 26:11Benito Skinner?

  It's a tight 15.

• 26:12Mary Beth Barone?

  It'll be an hour at some point.

• 26:13Benito Skinner?

  Of course, of course.

• 26:14Mary Beth Barone?

  It's a grower, not a shower.

• 26:17Benito Skinner?

  I'll say something that I think is fine to say. Everyone has so much shame about sometimes not seeing movies. It's like, yeah, of course, sometimes just things didn't land on your desk. I just watched Practical Magic for the first time. I'd never seen it. What a gift.

• 26:30Mary Beth Barone?

  I only saw it a couple of years ago.

• 26:31Benito Skinner?

  For the first time. I watched it on a plane.

• 26:32Mary Beth Barone?

  Incredible.

• 26:33Benito Skinner?

  I, I now want to watch it again. I'm gonna go see the sequel.

• 26:35Mary Beth Barone?

  We want to study it.

• 26:36Benito Skinner?

  I was addicted. I don't know why this just didn't like, it didn't find its way to me because we were such a Sandra Bullock house.

• 26:45Mary Beth Barone?

  It's just a blind spot, you know?

• 26:46Benito Skinner?

  Like, while you were sleeping, my goodness gracious.

• 26:50Mary Beth Barone?

  While you were sleeping is a crazy flick.

• 26:52Benito Skinner?

  I'm fucking obsessed with that Peter Gallagher. Oh my God. I mean, Miss Congeniality. Michael Caine as a gay man, it's like the only time I really love like straight, plain, gay.

• 27:01Mary Beth Barone?

  Of course I'm talking to you. I'm looking at you. I'm looking at you.

• 27:04Benito Skinner?

  That's, that's New Jersey, right?

• 27:06Mary Beth Barone?

  Gay representation on screen.

• 27:07Benito Skinner?

  Oh, yes, totally. Lesbian.

• 27:09Mary Beth Barone?

  So good. Gracie the Furbush.

• 27:10Benito Skinner?

  That's Harsher punishment for parole violators, Stan. It's the only time, you know, we don't.

• 27:15Mary Beth Barone?

  We're pro police.

• 27:15Benito Skinner?

  Yes.

• 27:16Mary Beth Barone?

  In that moment alone.

• 27:17Benito Skinner?

  Anzootopia a little, but that's kind of it. Um, oh my God, I did another combo recently. That was crazy.

• 27:22Mary Beth Barone?

  I've been doing combos too, cause I've been on long flights, but I, I can't, sometimes I watch them and I instantly forget what I watched. But I, I remember, like, I remember the experience of it down the road.

• 27:31Benito Skinner?

  Randomly, I personally like watching animated more, cause it's like, I want to think less.

• 27:35Mary Beth Barone?

  Mm hmm. I want to think more.

• 27:37Benito Skinner?

  But then I said that, and then I was like, exactly. But I watched Elemental, which is a rom com from Pixar.

• 27:42Mary Beth Barone?

  Watch this.

• 27:42Benito Skinner?

  I literally like was sobbing on the plane. So I did that. I, I had only seen Shakespeare in Love once as a kid, and I rewatched it recently.

• 27:51Mary Beth Barone?

  I think I watched that on a plane too.

• 27:53Benito Skinner?

  Oh, God.

• 27:53Mary Beth Barone?

  It was really good.

• 27:54Benito Skinner?

  I would have loved to be with you, dating the sky.

• 27:56Mary Beth Barone?

  We started at the same time.

• 27:57Benito Skinner?

  Dating the sky.

• 27:58Mary Beth Barone?

  I know, we were supposed to have one coming back from London recently, but you couldn't, you couldn't get on my flight.

• 28:02Benito Skinner?

  Couldn't get on your flight. It was the hot ticket in town.

• 28:04Mary Beth Barone?

  It was the 11:20 out of Heathrow.

• 28:07Benito Skinner?

  There's just no room, unless you want to sit in the bathroom.

• 28:10Mary Beth Barone?

  You want to sit in the bathroom?

• 28:11Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 28:12Mary Beth Barone?

  I think we all know that us in the Ride Cinematic Universe, we are huge proponents of therapy. We talk a lot on this show about anxiety and family dynamics, wouldn't you say?

• 28:23Benito Skinner?

  Well, that's kind of like top two.

• 28:25Mary Beth Barone?

  And how to navigate both. But in order to make big, meaningful changes that stick, it often takes a lot of conversation and practice. As you know, we have recommended regular therapy to anyone who listens. And now we're recommending Grow Therapy. Everyone treats summer like it owes you happiness. Long days, pool parties, literally, your best life on a loop. So what does it mean when you feel worse? The summer blues are real. It's why summer is one of the busiest stretches of the year for people starting therapy.

• 28:50Benito Skinner?

  Therapy is too expensive, used to end the conversation. It shouldn't. Oh my God, you're pissing me off. Grow Therapy works to help people find care they can afford, is insurance friendly, and easy to start and stay with. No subscriptions, no subscriptions, no subscriptions. God, I hate you, Benny. Just support that fits your life and your budget.

• 29:11Mary Beth Barone?

• 30:16Benito Skinner?

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

• 30:19Mary Beth Barone?

  It's Tinder. The group chat can actually go somewhere, cause 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?

• 30:31Benito Skinner?

  Oh, a doodle.

• 30:32Mary Beth Barone?

  And then zero decisions.

• 30:34Benito 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.

• 30:55Mary Beth Barone?

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

• 30:57Benito Skinner?

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

• 31:00Benito Skinner?

  Of course.

• 31:00Mary 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.

• 31:12Benito Skinner?

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

• 31:15Mary Beth Barone?

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

• 31:18Benito Skinner?

  Easy, Sally. Maybe you all become friends. Maybe two people hit it off. Maybe three people hit it off. Either way, I want to tell people to do that more during sex and dates going.

• 31:30Mary Beth Barone?

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

• 31:32Benito Skinner?

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

• 31:36Mary Beth Barone?

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

• 31:50Mary Beth Barone?

  I mean, it's not the craziest idea.

• 31:52Benito Skinner?

  Oh, God, you know what? I was, I recently had dinner with someone that, um, he had such, he had, he had butt breath, and I love, I, I really. We weren't close enough where I could have told him, and I, I was watching Dune Part One on a plane recently. And you know where Oscar Isaac has that thing that he cracks his back tooth and lets the gas out? I was like, that's me.

• 32:12Mary Beth Barone?

  Wow.

• 32:13Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, I was, I was the archonins.

• 32:15Mary Beth Barone?

  You don't know that Dune Two is gonna have real world application.

• 32:18Benito Skinner?

  This is actually Dune One.

• 32:19Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, even, even better.

• 32:20Benito Skinner?

  Dune Part One, Oscar Isaac.

• 32:21Mary Beth Barone?

  It really sticks with you.

• 32:22Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, of course it does.

• 32:24Mary Beth Barone?

  Oscar Isaac, perfect man.

• 32:25Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, it's gonna be tough for me. I couldn't even ride for him. It's like, where to, where to begin?

• 32:29Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, you could begin at annihilation.

• 32:32Benito Skinner?

  I wouldn't begin there. I begin at ex machina.

• 32:36Mary Beth Barone?

  Actually, and for that matter, we're gonna probably actually start with

• 32:39Benito Skinner?

  Lern Davis. That's Lern Davis.

• 32:41Mary Beth Barone?

  Lern Davis.

• 32:42Benito Skinner?

  You know, it's really sad. I have like such an affinity for him because it was it was a time when me and my godmother, who I never got to come out to, and we named Carmen in the show after her. I say we, fully.

• 32:53Mary Beth Barone?

  We.

• 32:54Benito Skinner?

  We. I talked to you about it, I guess.

• 32:55Mary Beth Barone?

  You and your creator.

• 32:57Benito Skinner?

  And my id. But

• 33:00Benito Skinner?

  we saw that movie and it was the last movie I saw with her. And it was a moment where we both agreed he was really handsome. So I like almost kinda came out to her. Cause she was like, he's really handsome. And I was like, he's really handsome.

• 33:12Mary Beth Barone?

  Maybe she knew in that moment.

• 33:13Benito Skinner?

  Yeah. And she just went.

• 33:16Mary Beth Barone?

  She went like this quietly, but down here, cause she didn't want to draw attention to it.

• 33:19Benito Skinner?

  Oh yeah. You wanna fuck him with your bubba butt, you little fucking homo.

• 33:22Mary Beth Barone?

  Luen Davis. Thank you. Uh, Luen Davis.

• 33:26Benito Skinner?

  Just to amplify or just at least acknowledge.

• 33:28Mary Beth Barone?

  Thank you. I said, thank you.

• 33:30Benito Skinner?

  Say thank you.

• 33:32Mary Beth Barone?

  Luen Davis, Tar, Brutalist, to me, all fall in this category of faux biopics. Because to me, I did definitely look up after like, is this a real guy? Was that a real song?

• 33:42Benito Skinner?

  Was there anything for Brutalist where like there was an inspiration of ones of an architect or a person?

• 33:48Mary Beth Barone?

  I don't think so. Not from the interviews I've been listening to, which has been a lot.

• 33:52Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, of course.

• 33:53Mary Beth Barone?

  It's, the movie is so good, but yeah, I think it was like, it was more about, well, I don't wanna, I'll ride for it. I'll ride for it in seven seasons from now.

• 34:02Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 34:02Mary Beth Barone?

  But now I'm just gonna talk about it as much as possible.

• 34:04Benito Skinner?

  Someone recently brought up that we said we were gonna talk about Saltburn in this season. So I wonder when we, and that's a great plane one, too.

• 34:11Mary Beth Barone?

  Great plane one, but it's one of the ones where they go, make sure there's no kids around you, cause there's gonna be some nasty stuff in here, you pervert.

• 34:17Benito Skinner?

  It's crazy, some of the things I've seen.

• 34:19Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, on a plane?

• 34:19Benito Skinner?

  Yeah. Well, you know, I, I looked so butt ugly on a plane recently that they, a guy was next to me watching overcompensating and he did not even, yeah. The whole time I'm sitting there going.

• 34:30Mary Beth Barone?

  You're incognito. You're gonna do this. I love that part.

• 34:32Benito Skinner?

  I'm like, who?

• 34:33Mary Beth Barone?

  He's like.

• 34:34Benito Skinner?

  We actually shot that twice.

• 34:35Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 34:36Benito Skinner?

  Up on a plane is always like really magical, but yeah, I, what I love about the ones you're listing, I had the pleasure, the distinct pleasure of seeing Anatomy of a Fall for the first time on a plane.

• 34:46Mary Beth Barone?

  Me too.

• 34:47Benito Skinner?

  And I think about it all the time. And I was eating like a little, just a chicken cutlet, watching that. And it was just one of those plane rides that sticks with you.

• 34:56Mary Beth Barone?

  That film blew my mind. I wish I could watch it again for the first time.

• 34:59Benito Skinner?

  I know.

• 35:00Mary Beth Barone?

  It's so good.

• 35:00Benito Skinner?

  And to get to do that on a plane. I also saw the menu on a plane one time, on the Taylor Joy. And I was like, fuck yeah.

• 35:06Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 35:06Benito Skinner?

  And she goes, I want a cheeseburger.

• 35:07Mary Beth Barone?

  Ray Fiennes.

• 35:08Benito Skinner?

  Me.

• 35:09Mary Beth Barone?

  But her playing a prostitute.

• 35:10Benito Skinner?

  I want a cheeseburger. Yeah. Anything can be anything in Hollywood.

• 35:14Mary Beth Barone?

  Anything can be anything in Hollywood.

• 35:16Benito Skinner?

  Exactly.

• 35:17Mary Beth Barone?

  Let's talk about not overthinking.

• 35:18Benito Skinner?

  Oh, good luck with, uh, uh, this is gonna be tricky for me.

• 35:21Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, you know what? It's like, obviously I, I overthink things too, to a degree, right? I do feel that it's maybe holding us back as a culture and socially, is this overthinking now? That's not to say I don't put my foot in my mouth. That's not to say I don't say things that are offensive accidentally, that I then think of later and I, and like, that's gonna haunt me for the rest of my life.

• 35:40Benito Skinner?

  And you grab your nipples and twist.

• 35:42Mary Beth Barone?

  I twist them and that's just part of my process. This does not mean we shouldn't be thoughtful and mindful all the time.

• 35:47Benito Skinner?

  I think that everybody overthinks so much because we're, we're just processing so much information all the time. So it's hard not, cause we've almost like seen too much, read too much, heard too much, and it just, we're getting stimulated. Everyone's talking about cortisol.

• 36:01Mary Beth Barone?

  And we're struggling to survive.

• 36:03Benito Skinner?

  And I'm like, easy.

• 36:04Mary Beth Barone?

  What is that?

• 36:04Benito Skinner?

  Easy Sally.

• 36:05Mary Beth Barone?

  What does that mean?

• 36:06Benito Skinner?

  It means, I don't know, apparently if your cortisol spikes from stress, like your face gets puffy, you like, your bones hurt. And I'm like, yeah, check, check. I'm feeling all this. But it also could be allergies. So we'll figure it out. It could be a histamine intolerance. I don't know. I will get to the bottom of it. But to me, I, I sent you a TikTok that I really thought was amazing where this girl was talking about overthinking and rumination. Cause I am like king of that shit. It's so you potentially with steampunk.

• 36:32Mary Beth Barone?

  Totally.

• 36:33Benito Skinner?

  The way I rule rumination.

• 36:34Mary Beth Barone?

  Ruminating, yeah.

• 36:36Benito Skinner?

  There was this TikTok where this girl was like, I've been playing this new game and it's really working where I think if I just spent 20 minutes thinking about all the worst possible scenarios, I'll have my mind think of, okay, what if this went like the, in the most perfect, best possible way? Like that was the outcome that happened. And I did it and oh my God, it was incredible.

• 36:56Mary Beth Barone?

  Really? Were you high?

• 36:57Benito Skinner?

  No, I wasn't high at all.

• 36:59Mary Beth Barone?

  No, I mean, you felt high.

• 37:00Benito Skinner?

  Well, of course. Yes, of course, my love. Um, yeah, it totally rocked my world. I was like, oh my God, wait, yeah, that's such a sweet feeling. And like, to be able, you can also overthink in a positive way.

• 37:11Mary Beth Barone?

  Totally.

• 37:11Benito Skinner?

  So like, I think there's something.

• 37:13Mary Beth Barone?

  You're harnessing it.

• 37:14Benito Skinner?

  You can harness it. But yeah, of not, um, I think of going with your gut. My, the thing I keep thinking, if I was asked a subway take, if I was sitting there on this, on the L train and got a subway take asked me.

• 37:28Mary Beth Barone?

  This is my, this is the mini mic. What's your take?

• 37:30Benito Skinner?

  Yeah. So I would say,

• 37:34Benito Skinner?

  I would say, um, I think nobody believes in anything anymore and they need like too much information to make decisions.

• 37:41Mary Beth Barone?

  Yes.

• 37:41Benito Skinner?

  And it's hurting art. It's hurting relationships. But again, it's hurting art. Because everyone needs like a full CV and all, and 50 other people to co-sign someone. And it's like, or just like believe in somebody. I was saying this the other day to a friend where they were like, oh, you know, like the cast of overcompensating and like talking about it. And I was like, the joy would be that if, like, if somebody's manager called me and they listed all the things they had done, I would just be like, I just genuinely like this is, it, this is going.

• 38:10Mary Beth Barone?

  In one ear, out the other.

• 38:11Benito Skinner?

  Out the other, because I, are you still holding this?

• 38:15Mary Beth Barone?

  You have to, cause and I would say a hundred percent agree.

• 38:17Benito Skinner?

  And so agree. But I, I was like, I actually just really don't care. I wanna see, um, a chem read with them. I wanna like meet them. None of that really should matter. And I think all of it matters too much to people. And I think it's limiting really great art being made. Cause I do see a lot of things where I'm like, ooh, that's so poorly casted. Like you just thought like this and this, of course, but you never had them meet each other. You never took a risk on somebody new who could have been even better. I just think everybody is overthinking everything and things have to be so undeniable. But in that, we've lost like so much practical magic too.

• 38:54Mary Beth Barone?

  Practical magic too. It's a full circle.

• 38:56Benito Skinner?

  I went on a full tangent, but sorry. I just think it's ruining things.

• 39:00Mary Beth Barone?

  No, I agree. And I, I think it, like what you said, we're getting bombarded with so much information and we're struggling to survive. The government's like threatening us at every turn. And then there's like a lot of, you know, literal wars happening. So I understand that it makes, it puts people in their heads more. I just think every once in a while, you should allow yourself to let your freak flag fly. Have fun in safe spaces with friends and people you know and trust. And maybe just like let loose a little bit. I don't think we're letting loose enough. And this is not giving people permission to do things that hurt other people or like put anyone in unsafe situations. I'm not like, oh, don't overthink it. Like drive drunk. That's not what I'm talking about.

• 39:37Benito Skinner?

  Well, that's kind of how I'm.

• 39:38Mary Beth Barone?

  I know that's how you do, but you, and you do that all the time.

• 39:41Benito Skinner?

  Of course, baby.

• 39:41Mary Beth Barone?

  Like since the early days.

• 39:43Benito Skinner?

  Driving on the dirt road.

• 39:45Mary Beth Barone?

  Whole life is a highway.

• 39:48Mary Beth Barone?

  And I'm gonna ride it all night long.

• 39:49Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 39:49Mary Beth Barone?

  We could like, just have maybe a little more fun with it. Like we only get one shot at this, YOLO. Let's have a little more fun.

• 39:55Benito Skinner?

  Let's have a little bit more fun. And like, there's so much calculation and everything too. And I think that's also like the dawn of the internet and just everything being so like curated and stuff too. I'm like, oh God, maybe you just wanna do that cause it's fun and you wanna do it. And that's kind of it. Sometimes you just wanna go and drag as your bestie, took your balls into your taint and hit it and bushwick. And maybe it's just like not that deep. You just wanted to do it and it's fun.

• 40:19Mary Beth Barone?

  And we didn't, I will say Galaxy Brain Ball is a great example. We didn't overthink it. I said, I wanna have a huge party in Brooklyn.

• 40:26Benito Skinner?

  Just do it.

• 40:26Mary Beth Barone?

  And I wanna dance.

• 40:27Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 40:27Mary Beth Barone?

  And we, we, we did that. We did that. And I wasn't thinking about like, how, how is it gonna be perceived? Who's gonna come? Who's not gonna come? All this stuff. I was just like, I want to have fun.

• 40:36Benito Skinner?

  Just do it. It's gonna be fun.

• 40:37Mary Beth Barone?

  I wanna have fun. And in the winter, I think it's harder to motivate to do those fun things. It's so cold. And we're nearing, we're approaching, winter's approaching. And so I just hope we're all making space to have fun and not overthink everything. And even goes back to when I did the show recently and this, that girl said she didn't know what text to send this guy that she always thought was cute. And it's like, obviously it's a risk. You're putting yourself out there, being vulnerable is not always gonna pay off, but it's good to practice it. And so I think just like sending that text that you're nervous about and being like, whatever happens, I have people that love me. I have friends. Everything's gonna be okay.

• 41:10Benito Skinner?

  It's, it's literally gonna be so fine. Everything's gonna work out. Bloomware Planet, Bloomware Planet.

• 41:16Mary Beth Barone?

  Planet.

• 41:16Benito Skinner?

  This honestly, it's like, girl mustache, who cares? I can literally shave it off tomorrow. I'm not gonna overthink it. I just, I think also I'm, I'm finding that with season two. I think season one felt so precious to me. But with season two, I'm like, fuck it, let it rip. This is so fun. Like, let's try it. I think you just, I think you can find more beautiful things, I think, in not have, trying to have control over everything. It can be hard, but not overthinking it. Wow. You always bring some bullshit like that to this fucking podcast. I respect you down so hard. This is true.

• 41:44Mary Beth Barone?

  It's like, I'm, it's cerebral.

• 41:46Benito Skinner?

  Totally. I ride, I ride for not overthinking. I, I want to do it more. And so I'm gonna ride for it and I'm gonna put it out in the universe that I need to. Because I do think it's how great art is made. I think it's how great relationships are built. And it can just be so fun. You know what? Jake Sam has said to me, famous twink, the other day.

• 42:05Mary Beth Barone?

  Security at Rosalia.

• 42:06Benito Skinner?

  Of course. We were going by Chelsea Perez and someone was doing trapeze. And he goes, you know what? We should just book it on a day. It's like, it doesn't have to be a birthday or anything. Just do it. And I'm like, God, that's so fun. It's so true. Like, I don't know if, when that will happen, but I was like, we're going to an event. Like we actually early booked tonight.

• 42:21Mary Beth Barone?

  But we know it's always an option.

• 42:23Benito Skinner?

  Of course. And just, God, don't overthink it. Just do it. Who cares? Like honestly, let it rip.

• 42:28Mary Beth Barone?

  The thing, ask the question, make the plans.

• 42:31Benito Skinner?

  Cause you can't lose something you never had. And then also Kate Hudson has this thing where she leaves his apartment the first night, I think, and is in a taxi cab. And she goes, see you later.

• 42:42Mary Beth Barone?

  See you later.

• 42:43Benito Skinner?

  See you later.

• 42:43Mary Beth Barone?

  I ride for watching movies on planes.

• 42:45Benito Skinner?

  Oh God, thank you.

• 42:46Mary Beth Barone?

  Flying a lot recently.

• 42:47Benito Skinner?

  I'd love to do it with you. You start at the exact same time as bestie.

• 42:50Mary Beth Barone?

  I, it's a viewing party.

• 42:51Benito Skinner?

  Trolls world tour. Three, two.

• 42:53Mary Beth Barone?

  Do one press. I, uh, yeah, it's one of the great joys that we have up in the sky.

• 42:59Benito Skinner?

  Well, it's that and then listening to Viola Davis say the Delta ad.

• 43:03Mary Beth Barone?

  The Delta ad. And lately I've been reading on planes, which is kind of a different thing. And it's a little more challenging when the cabin's dark. You just sort of find your own way with it.

• 43:11Benito Skinner?

  Well, it feels like that's your own plane at that point, when you put the little night light on.

• 43:14Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh yeah.

• 43:15Benito Skinner?

  You read, hoot.

• 43:17Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm reading hoot.

• 43:18Benito Skinner?

  Why did hoot come in my head?

• 43:20Mary Beth Barone?

  I don't know.

• 43:22Benito Skinner?

  Who wrote hoot? Do you remember?

• 43:24Mary Beth Barone?

  I don't remember who. I literally don't. What is that?

• 43:27Benito Skinner?

  Do you remember hoot?

• 43:28Mary Beth Barone?

  Hoot.

• 43:29Benito Skinner?

  Oh my God, I remember loving the cover of it.

• 43:31Mary Beth Barone?

  Hoot book.

• 43:32Benito Skinner?

  Hoot. There was a movie of it.

• 43:34Mary Beth Barone?

  It's a novel by, oh, Carl Hayson.

• 43:38Benito Skinner?

  I'm telling you, is that not so the cover of hoot?

• 43:41Mary Beth Barone?

  And this is what I read on planes.

• 43:42Benito Skinner?

  Hoot.

• 43:45Benito Skinner?

  God.

• 43:46Mary Beth Barone?

  They can't judge me up there.

• 43:47Benito Skinner?

  Just tell us what movies you're up there watching. Actually, Idioca's on planes. Someone told me that it was. They watched on a plane, so watch that, so cute.

• 43:54Mary Beth Barone?

  Interstellar's on planes a lot and it's really good. It's under the movies for a long flight.

• 43:58Benito Skinner?

  That might be too much. I was almost gonna do Lord of the Rings. The Two Towers or the Twin Towers? Two Towers.

• 44:04Mary Beth Barone?

  Two Towers, yeah.

• 44:05Benito Skinner?

  Okay, did they have to adjust that for 9/11?

• 44:08Mary Beth Barone?

  I don't think so. We'll look it up. I'm sure it's on IMDb trivia.

• 44:12Benito Skinner?

  I'm not overthinking it, I'm just vibing out.

• 44:13Mary Beth Barone?

  Let's just vibe out.

• 44:14Benito Skinner?

  These are just my thoughts, I'm just going for it.

• 44:16Mary Beth Barone?

  And if you don't like it, you can leave. Here's the thing, if you don't like it, you can leave.

• 44:20Benito Skinner?

  You know what this actually comes full circle with?

• 44:23Mary Beth Barone?

  What?

• 44:24Benito Skinner?

  Never underestimate the power of a good fuck. I said that to Owen before three takes and overcompensating.

• 44:30Mary Beth Barone?

  I want to tell a quick story. My friend has a child. She's a mom. She actually has two kids. And her daughter doesn't like her curly hair, so she asked me to send her pictures of me with curly hair so she could show her. And it's really sweet.

• 44:43Benito Skinner?

  You send all these ones of you with perfectly straight hair.

• 44:45Mary Beth Barone?

  I sent straight ones, yeah. I said, "You should get it, you should do keratin."

• 44:48Benito Skinner?

  Get it straightened.

• 44:48Mary Beth Barone?

  You should do a keratin treatment.

• 44:50Benito Skinner?

  Oh, that is so sweet.

• 44:51Mary Beth Barone?

  Isn't it so sweet? I love this family. They just left New York, which is really sad, but I'm gonna visit them.

  Oh, I love them. I love their golden retriever.

• 44:57Mary Beth Barone?

  I know. They're the sweetest and it's just...

• 44:59Benito Skinner?

  Really beautiful people.

• 45:00Mary Beth Barone?

  It warms my heart, so I sent her a few more pics of me with curly hair. And then she just texted me this, she said...

• 45:05Benito Skinner?

  I love the thought that you just do all these glam ones.

• 45:07Mary Beth Barone?

  I sent her this and I said, "Explain what drag is," to her. I think she's three. And she said, "I showed these pictures."

• 45:14Benito Skinner?

  Started me off.

• 45:15Mary Beth Barone?

  And she said that Benny's dress is a little too small.

• 45:19Benito Skinner?

  Whoa, she kind of fucking spilled. But you know what? I just donated it and I don't know when this will come out, but there's gonna be a, it's for a project I did. I donated it and the money will go to the Trevor project.

• 45:30Mary Beth Barone?

  Trevor project.

• 45:31Benito Skinner?

  But I left the body makeup on it. It was very Jackie Kennedy leaving the blood on the pink suit.

• 45:35Mary Beth Barone?

  It's exactly the same.

• 45:36Benito Skinner?

  History.

• 45:36Mary Beth Barone?

  And you know what that just made me think of?

• 45:38Benito Skinner?

  Not erasing that.

• 45:38Mary Beth Barone?

  Miss Amanda Lemon? Didn't I tell you not to play ball in that dress?

• 45:43Benito Skinner?

  Oh, is this from It Takes Two?

• 45:44Mary Beth Barone?

  It Takes Two.

• 45:45Benito Skinner?

  Oh, God, I need to re-watch that with you.

• 45:46Mary Beth Barone?

  Come on, Diane, I ain't gonna hurt it.

• 45:48Benito Skinner?

  That'd be great on a pla... I wish Planes had a little bit more nostalgia.

• 45:50Mary Beth Barone?

  Whimsy nostalgia.

• 45:52Benito Skinner?

  That's what the top would say, whimsy and nostalgia.

• 45:57Benito Skinner?

  Motherfucker.

• 45:59Benito Skinner?

  Say it with me, all of us in the room, can we? Never underestimate the power of a good fuck. Let's say it, one, two, three.

• 46:05Mary Beth Barone?

  Never underestimate the power of a good fuck.

• 46:15Benito Skinner?

  Oh, my exit.

• 46:16Mary Beth Barone?

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