  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.

  Exactly. No, buy high, sell low.

  That's my whole thing.

• 0:22Benito Skinner?

  Cowabunga. That's what I wanted to start today with. Cowabunga.

• 0:26Mary Beth Barone?

  That's it.

• 0:27Benito Skinner?

  Dylan Mulvaney at dinner the other night, she kept looking at me and I was kind of wearing like, I think I was wearing this shirt. And so now every time I put this shirt on, she literally, I think, her looking across from me going, cowabunga, dude.

• 0:38Mary Beth Barone?

  She is the best dinner date you could possibly think of.

• 0:41Benito Skinner?

  I have.

• 0:42Mary Beth Barone?

  Are we recording? Okay, great.

• 0:43Benito Skinner?

  I have so much respect for that woman in a way that like, I want to protect her, I want to hold her. She is a light. She is so funny and smart and talented. And the amount of hate this one person has got. It's like, I love that baby girl so much. I just, I like, want nothing but peace, happiness, love and prosperity.

• 1:04Mary Beth Barone?

  No, we're friends. We're now bound for life. And I did FaceTime her yesterday. She's on set of a movie right now. And she's fully in like Little Bo Peep garb. And like you do when I FaceTime her, she's like at home, lights are out and she's in bed.

• 1:17Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 1:17Mary Beth Barone?

  So then for her to answer in broad daylight with, with ringlets and a bonnet.

• 1:22Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 1:23Mary Beth Barone?

  It was, you just never, like, always keep them on their toes.

• 1:28Benito Skinner?

  Exactly.

• 1:28Mary Beth Barone?

  She kind of, she kind of originated that.

• 1:30Benito Skinner?

  She went to my Star Academy.

• 1:32Mary Beth Barone?

  I know she did. She graduated with.

• 1:34Benito Skinner?

  Summa cum laude. I think I'm Illuminati. You know how hard it is to try to like erase Nicki Minaj from my brain?

• 1:42Mary Beth Barone?

  For you, I can imagine pretty hard.

• 1:44Benito Skinner?

  Difficult. For you, maybe not.

• 1:45Mary Beth Barone?

  I just had to take Chun-Li and Megatron off some playlists.

• 1:48Benito Skinner?

  God, I just popped the living shit out of my back. It's crazy. I'm nothing. I have nothing to say. It's just the crack, what that does to me.

• 1:57Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 1:58Benito Skinner?

  And I can do this thing where I put two of my.

• 2:01Mary Beth Barone?

  Two of your what?

• 2:02Benito Skinner?

  Two of my little.

• 2:03Mary Beth Barone?

  Vertebrae?

• 2:03Benito Skinner?

  Paws together. And I put them in between my kneecaps and I squeeze and it pops my hips.

• 2:11Mary Beth Barone?

  The body's connected, like.

• 2:12Benito Skinner?

  Do you remember when I straddled you recently and my hip popped?

• 2:14Mary Beth Barone?

  No. Where were we?

• 2:16Benito Skinner?

  At yours.

• 2:17Mary Beth Barone?

  I don't remember that. You straddled me a lot, I guess.

• 2:19Benito Skinner?

  And I said Benjamin Button.

• 2:20Mary Beth Barone?

  It's all a blur.

• 2:21Benito Skinner?

  You laughed.

• 2:21Mary Beth Barone?

  I have no recollection of that. At my apartment?

• 2:24Benito Skinner?

  It wasn't you.

• 2:25Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, I hate that.

• 2:26Benito Skinner?

  Maybe it was another girl.

• 2:27Mary Beth Barone?

  I've barely seen you in the past few weeks, so I have no idea who the hell you're talking about.

• 2:30Benito Skinner?

  I swear to God, it was so funny.

• 2:34Mary Beth Barone?

  We went to the Calvin show to get. Here we fucking go.

• 2:38Benito Skinner?

  Come on, baby!

• 2:39Mary Beth Barone?

  With the unreliability.

• 2:41Benito Skinner?

  We're fucking A-listers, baby!

• 2:48Benito Skinner?

  What if we called each other A-listers?

• 2:50Mary Beth Barone?

  Do you want us to stay small forever?

• 2:52Benito Skinner?

  Literally.

• 2:52Mary Beth Barone?

  We can't.

• 2:53Benito Skinner?

  How do you think I could, how am I gonna send all my girls to college? The fuck? Um, but at, at one point, we were talking and you just go, what are you doing after this? And I was like, oh, what? I was like, um, I'm like going home. And you're like, do you want to like talk?

• 3:10Mary Beth Barone?

  Do you want to hang out?

• 3:10Benito Skinner?

  It was so cute. And I was like, yeah, I actually really do. But then you had to go to something else and so did I.

• 3:15Mary Beth Barone?

  And you also did. This wasn't just me.

• 3:17Benito Skinner?

  Sliding doors, mama.

• 3:18Mary Beth Barone?

  My big New York Fashion Week story, I was at the Nylon Dinner on Friday. Wonderful group of women. There was only one man present.

• 3:25Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 3:25Mary Beth Barone?

  And.

• 3:26Benito Skinner?

  Joe Rogan.

• 3:27Mary Beth Barone?

  It was Joe Rogan. He was head of the table.

• 3:29Benito Skinner?

  He was eating rotisserie chicken naked.

• 3:31Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, and we were at Tokyo Record Bar, so we all had sushi. He had a rotisserie chicken he brought. Podcaster's own.

• 3:37Benito Skinner?

  And two turkey legs.

• 3:38Mary Beth Barone?

  Price upon request.

• 3:42Benito Skinner?

  Sorry. That as a kid, reading Price Upon Request, I was like, it's $2 million.

• 3:48Mary Beth Barone?

  It might be. We don't know. We never got the request in. I didn't know who to call.

• 3:51Benito Skinner?

  I found something for you on the real, real. Christmas, it like might come during Thanksgiving this year.

• 3:56Mary Beth Barone?

  Maybe I could buy it myself. Or you want to buy it for me?

• 3:59Benito Skinner?

  I got it for you for Christmas.

• 4:00Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, great. Okay, done.

• 4:02Benito Skinner?

  I'm literally like, I'm in my, I'm the gifting suite.

• 4:05Mary Beth Barone?

  You're the gifting, you're the, you are the gifting.

• 4:07Benito Skinner?

  I'm the Super Bowl gifting suite lately.

• 4:09Mary Beth Barone?

  So I'm at this dinner, I'm with wonderful women, including but not limited to Tiffy and of course, SNL's Veronica S.

• 4:16Benito Skinner?

  She is both darling, my darling girls. I was with Tiffy at an event this week and we were chatting and I forgot that it was like being filmed. Like, I really, I got lost in the sauce with her. Lovely woman.

• 4:27Mary Beth Barone?

  Love her. We were next to each other.

• 4:29Benito Skinner?

  I love all of her takes as well.

• 4:31Mary Beth Barone?

  They're good takes.

• 4:32Benito Skinner?

  And I see the takes on TikTok, I'm like, yeah.

• 4:34Mary Beth Barone?

  You say doubles.

• 4:34Benito Skinner?

  The Shailene Woodley one, oh. So she's always been a legend to me.

• 4:39Mary Beth Barone?

  Me too.

• 4:39Benito Skinner?

  She's like, you're hungry, go eat. That, her, Aaron, thinking he dunked on her, with her being like, I need to go fuck this guy before we get married. I'm like, it's one of those things where someone will tell me something. I was getting told a story about a legendary actress and they said that she raps herself from set. And they were saying it in like a negative way.

• 4:59Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, that's so me.

• 5:00Benito Skinner?

  You're telling that, you're, you're saying this story to a gay guy and you think I'm leaving not loving her even more?

• 5:05Mary Beth Barone?

  Even more.

• 5:05Benito Skinner?

  That's incre, I'm like, she has earned that.

• 5:07Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, hey, try again.

• 5:08Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, I go, oh, no. And also, I'm like, I assume lots of actors have done that. But this like one actress, they were like, isn't that crazy? I'm like, nope, that feels totally logical. She has things to do.

• 5:18Mary Beth Barone?

  Needless to say, I didn't even need one more reason to love Shailene Woodley, but sometimes you get that gift.

• 5:24Benito Skinner?

  No, you get that gift. And I'm like, fuck, it's just reading the comments on TikTok under it, it was just incredible. I mean, the, I'm sure like, mother quake was trending that day.

• 5:35Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, national treasure, Shailene Woodley. It's all I have to say to that.

• 5:39Benito Skinner?

  Fuck. And if you want to even talk about Shailene Woodley to me, it's like, I'm immediately locked into the Descendants where she jumps in the water when she finds out that her mom is gonna die. Like, that, oh, I have chills. Did she get nominated for that?

• 5:53Mary Beth Barone?

  I'll have to check.

• 5:54Benito Skinner?

  She should have been.

• 5:54Mary Beth Barone?

  A lot of people don't even know that she has a show coming out with Lindsay Lohan. They're co-stars.

• 5:58Benito Skinner?

  Oh, my God, I did see, um, I saw BTS of that. I saw a little Just Jared. Of other A-listers, because we are A-listers!

• 6:08Mary Beth Barone?

  Nothing more humbling than a video getting posted, obviously, you know, whatever it is, but it says our name in the caption and then everyone's like, I've never heard of these people.

• 6:16Benito Skinner?

  Okay.

• 6:16Mary Beth Barone?

  You're not gonna hear of everyone, is the thing.

• 6:18Benito Skinner?

  Yo, this is so funny. Did I just say, yo, yo, check out the mic?

• 6:22Mary Beth Barone?

  Yo. And I still haven't told you what happened when Dixie D'Amelio arrived at the dinner, but we're gonna get to it.

• 6:26Benito Skinner?

  Oh, yeah.

• 6:27Mary Beth Barone?

  No, we're gonna get to it.

• 6:28Benito Skinner?

  Right after this, because I feel like Dixie gets this a lot. And we all do, where it's like, you get posted and then, yeah, the comments are like, who? And it's like, well, did you think like the same people would, like, other people are doing this too. Like, there are new people who enter in the entertainment industry.

• 6:43Mary Beth Barone?

  And now you know the name.

• 6:44Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, and you just saw it. So now you, you just found out. Come on.

• 6:48Mary Beth Barone?

  And you could click through if you want to.

• 6:50Benito Skinner?

  It's another A-lister.

• 6:51Mary Beth Barone?

  A-lister, old A-lister. I was at this dinner, Dixie D'Amelio rolls in an hour and 20 minutes late to the dinner.

• 6:58Benito Skinner?

  Okay, again, a mother quake.

• 6:59Mary Beth Barone?

  Mother quake. By the way, this story is nothing but amplifying praising and if anything, saying she's a role model for us all.

• 7:05Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 7:06Mary Beth Barone?

  We're all eating like katsu chicken and there's like a fish dish and stuff. It's a sushi, or it's a, yeah, it's a sushi place. And she orders, everyone's drinking like tequila soda, vodka soda, whatever, all these like girly drinks. She fully just comes in, orders a pint of beer.

• 7:19Benito Skinner?

  Fuck.

• 7:19Mary Beth Barone?

  She's sitting at the head of the table.

• 7:21Benito Skinner?

  She splits the G.

• 7:23Mary Beth Barone?

  On the Guinness Cup.

• 7:25Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 7:25Mary Beth Barone?

  She, she just, and she didn't think anything of it.

• 7:28Benito Skinner?

  Burps and then she goes, what did I miss?

• 7:29Mary Beth Barone?

  I go, I have, I'm sorry, I need to take a photo of you with that because this is beautiful. 25 years old. She comes through to a Fashion Week dinner and orders a beer.

• 7:39Benito Skinner?

  That is so Julia Roberts and my best friend's wedding.

• 7:42Mary Beth Barone?

  I've got moves you've never seen.

• 7:47Benito Skinner?

  Oh, God, today's a good one.

• 7:49Mary Beth Barone?

  Today, we're feeling really cool and good.

• 7:51Benito Skinner?

  I'm trying to sit in this chair once, like, let me scoot up.

• 7:53Mary Beth Barone?

  You need a pillow?

• 7:55Benito Skinner?

  Maybe.

• 7:56Mary Beth Barone?

  Whoever left their dog shit this morning on driggs between 11th and 12th, I will see you in court.

• 8:04Mary Beth Barone?

  I stepped in it. And.

• 8:06Benito Skinner?

  Judge Beauty.

• 8:07Mary Beth Barone?

  Judge Beauty residing, presiding over the case, Judge Beauty.

• 8:12Benito Skinner?

  By the way, I did an OFAD and.

• 8:14Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, honey, we know. It was, when I did send something on WeTransfer, the ad was there.

• 8:19Benito Skinner?

  Talking about Nicki Minaj, 2012, I'm at the Super Bowl.

• 8:22Mary Beth Barone?

  Pre-Matt Rife era.

• 8:23Benito Skinner?

  Wouldn't you, oh my God, yeah. But she, Mary Beth went to the airport and I was in the, the shoe thing. What are they called?

• 8:32Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, yeah, the TSA little.

• 8:34Benito Skinner?

  I was in the bin.

• 8:34Mary Beth Barone?

  In the tray.

• 8:35Benito Skinner?

  And you said, not Judge Beauty.

• 8:36Mary Beth Barone?

  I said, oh, Judge Beauty showed up at the airport? Hey! I love seeing my guy getting those sweet, sweet brand deals.

• 8:43Benito Skinner?

  Thanks, honey.

• 8:43Mary Beth Barone?

  I will talk about brand deals again this season, but not right now. I want to talk about two really quick things before we get into the chat update.

• 8:49Benito Skinner?

  Oh, my God.

• 8:50Mary Beth Barone?

  People are chomping at the bit.

• 8:51Benito Skinner?

  Me and this, like, there's an ecosystem happening in this hotel. Like, I have so much to report.

• 8:56Mary Beth Barone?

  It's like you have like a community there.

• 8:58Benito Skinner?

  Well, there's a statue of King Kong, um, covered in Swarovski crystals, I think. He's on top of the Eiffel Tower and he's wearing an American flag Yankee hat.

• 9:07Mary Beth Barone?

  That feels, you know where they bought that was?

• 9:09Benito Skinner?

  Adrian Brody.

• 9:11Mary Beth Barone?

  Someone was showing that at a, at a gallery in Yorkville, Toronto, Canada.

• 9:14Benito Skinner?

  That's so true. And they went, whoa.

• 9:16Mary Beth Barone?

  They said, I need that for my hotel.

• 9:19Benito Skinner?

  They said, whoa, whoa, whoa, let's put this right by the shitter.

• 9:21Mary Beth Barone?

  And then they saw it was done, composed by Adrian Brody.

• 9:24Benito Skinner?

  I'm gonna take a photo of it for you guys. It really is something that just, it's gonna stick with you for a while.

• 9:29Mary Beth Barone?

  So I haven't done a politics for hot people in a while. It's just hard to get the camera set up and everything. You know what I mean?

• 9:34Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, of course.

• 9:35Mary Beth Barone?

  It's just really hard. And to carve out that time.

• 9:37Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 9:37Mary Beth Barone?

  But I did want to tell everyone that the midterms are coming up. This is a reminder. And the Republican Party is gonna do everything they can to try to meddle with voting. They're shutting down polling stations. They want to make mail-in ballots like void. They're working with different, you know, state governments to try to like limit people's access to voting. So vote in person if you can. Make a voting plan, vote early.

• 9:58Benito Skinner?

  Go with friends.

• 9:58Mary Beth Barone?

  Go with friends. Go with your crush. See, and go in the booth with them and just make sure they voted for the right people. But I would say, check your voter registration and plan, if you can. I know it's privileged because some people can't get time off work or, um, you know, they need childcare and stuff.

• 10:13Benito Skinner?

  I can't believe there are not holidays. That's insane to me.

• 10:15Mary Beth Barone?

  I know. And in Australia, if you don't vote, you get fined. They really want people voting.

• 10:20Benito Skinner?

  Vote.

• 10:20Mary Beth Barone?

  Vote.

• 10:21Benito Skinner?

  Vote.

• 10:22Mary Beth Barone?

  Vote.

• 10:22Benito Skinner?

  How do I do, vote?

• 10:24Mary Beth Barone?

  Vote. And then it becomes something totally different. So it's just my reminder, if you can make a voting plan, vote in person, you should. There's a lot of competitive races.

• 10:33Benito Skinner?

  I can't, I can't look like this.

• 10:35Mary Beth Barone?

  I know you should have one in the bag. I guess you didn't watch Our Lips Are Sealed Enough.

• 10:40Benito Skinner?

  I got pretty close.

• 10:41Mary Beth Barone?

  When they're witness protection?

• 10:42Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, I mean, I definitely like.

• 10:43Mary Beth Barone?

  Mary-Kate Nash, she in witness protection?

• 10:44Benito Skinner?

  I've seen it probably three times, but.

• 10:46Mary Beth Barone?

  They saw, they saw some goons stealing the Neil Diamond.

• 10:49Benito Skinner?

  You know, I, people have come up to me since you kicked someone out of the wedding and they're like, I wish she was at my wedding.

• 10:55Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, God.

• 10:55Benito Skinner?

  People really are crashing weddings.

• 10:57Mary Beth Barone?

  I know.

• 10:57Benito Skinner?

  It's crazy.

• 11:00Mary Beth Barone?

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

• 11:06Mary 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, Anne 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, or even the Galaxy Brain Fan Event at Bath House on July 27th. I guess I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that my sheets and bedding are from Hill House Home.

• 11:51Mary 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.

• 14:03Benito Skinner?

  NoCD, 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.

• 14:47Benito 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 have been, 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,

• 15:28Benito 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. To learn more about starting OCD therapy with NoCD, go to nocd.com and book a free call with their team. That's nocd.com. Love you.

• 16:04Mary Beth Barone?

  So let's get into the date that I was privy to last night. So I went back to Little Ruby's, the scene of the crime.

• 16:11Benito Skinner?

  Oh, I love Little Ruby's.

• 16:12Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, they're the best. I brought Pinky. I was sitting outside on the booth side, obviously, just having a little solo dinner.

• 16:16Benito Skinner?

  Of course, hat on.

• 16:18Mary Beth Barone?

  Hat off. It was so hot.

• 16:20Benito Skinner?

  Backwards.

• 16:20Mary Beth Barone?

  It was backwards.

• 16:21Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 16:23Mary Beth Barone?

  So I'm sitting next to a guy and a girl, and the guy is like, he's pissed, he's pissy. He's in a pissy mood.

• 16:30Benito Skinner?

  Of course.

• 16:31Mary Beth Barone?

  He calls the hostess over, and he's like, could you get someone to like, come take our drink orders? So immediately, I'm like, I don't fuck with this guy.

• 16:37Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 16:38Mary Beth Barone?

  And he says he has a headache. He's getting a headache, sorry. And you know the new lamp, lamp culture, the lamps that are skinny with like, they have only a tiny bit of light coming out of them. You tap to turn them off.

• 16:47Benito Skinner?

  You tap, and they're kind of also like, you're kind of a DJ all of a sudden?

• 16:50Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, and it's low light.

• 16:52Benito Skinner?

  Oh, it's low light.

• 16:53Mary Beth Barone?

  It's as little light as you could have from a lamp.

• 16:55Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, of course.

• 16:56Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, the girl goes, should I turn the lamp off? And then she turns it off, and he's like, yeah, I think that helps. Then I hear this noise. Hold on, ready? Hold on, I need it.

• 17:07Benito Skinner?

  That sounds nice.

• 17:09Mary Beth Barone?

  He has a deck of cards that he's shuffling under the table. And he goes, so do you know how to play poker? He brought this woman to a restaurant to teach her to play poker, and while he was getting a headache.

• 17:20Benito Skinner?

  He's like, let's play strip poker right now.

• 17:22Mary Beth Barone?

  I literally.

• 17:23Benito Skinner?

  He goes, take your panties off.

• 17:24Mary Beth Barone?

  I stood up, I went to, and I said, can I just pay really quick? I couldn't see anymore.

• 17:29Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 17:29Mary Beth Barone?

  This, this was a horror movie.

• 17:31Benito Skinner?

  You're like, hey, so I've been actually shot. Can I have help?

• 17:35Mary Beth Barone?

  And I almost did this to her, just to say, do you need Angela?

• 17:40Benito Skinner?

  I'm sorry, bringing activities to a dinner, like, that's not what it's for. Sit down.

• 17:44Mary Beth Barone?

  And how am I going to see the cards, since you made me turn the lamp off?

• 17:47Benito Skinner?

  Oh, my God. Recently, I was at dinner with someone, and this girl was there reading a book, and we were both looking at her going, that's so beautiful.

• 17:55Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, remember when we were in London, and we were at a pub on a Friday night, and there was someone reading sides, learning lines at the bar? I have photos of it.

• 18:03Benito Skinner?

  It was Charli D'Amelio.

• 18:04Mary Beth Barone?

  It was Charli D'Amelio. She had an IPA, and she was curled up at the bar.

• 18:10Benito Skinner?

  She had a lager, and she goes, fuck, I gotta get these lines down. My favorite part was that then five people came, so we kind of were like, that's so powerful. She's somewhere alone. She had a full group coming. She was just like.

• 18:19Mary Beth Barone?

  Killing time.

• 18:20Benito Skinner?

  She was staring at a book.

• 18:20Mary Beth Barone?

  It must have been a bunch of gay guys showing up late. Let's talk about Chad.

• 18:24Benito Skinner?

  There she goes, Andrew, and she still won't let me wipe her.

• 18:29Mary Beth Barone?

  This, letting me wipe hers is this new thing.

• 18:32Benito Skinner?

  It's like, how far could I push it?

• 18:34Mary Beth Barone?

  Also, I don't have my normal pen, and it's stressing me out. But Andrew was kind enough to let me, it's.

• 18:39Benito Skinner?

  That is so fucking chewable. Don't even show me near that.

• 18:42Mary Beth Barone?

  Don't even show me near that.

• 18:43Benito Skinner?

  I could.

• 18:44Mary Beth Barone?

  Don't even show me near that.

• 18:45Benito Skinner?

  Don't even, I think, honestly, it's a little hot in here.

• 18:48Mary Beth Barone?

  Chad update.

• 18:48Benito Skinner?

  I might need a day to see you guys, sorry.

• 18:50Mary Beth Barone?

  I had asked.

• 18:50Benito Skinner?

  I get a little, I get a little delirious.

• 18:52Mary Beth Barone?

  I understand.

• 18:53Benito Skinner?

  I start to say things like, let me show you here.

• 18:55Mary Beth Barone?

  Let me show you to there.

• 18:56Benito Skinner?

  Let me show you here.

• 18:57Mary Beth Barone?

  All right, here, I want to hear about Chad.

• 18:59Benito Skinner?

  Oh, my God, it just felt like, so I'm walking to the elevator, Chad's walking out, and he's with the girl he went on the first date with.

• 19:08Mary Beth Barone?

  It's morning time or nighttime?

• 19:10Benito Skinner?

  It's morning time.

• 19:11Mary Beth Barone?

  Whoa.

• 19:12Benito Skinner?

  And I said, how's the date? This is two days later. I said, how was the date? Because I didn't know, I was like, I assumed, and then, because at first, actually, it seemed like the girl he was with was a friend, so I thought it was safe. I throw up. Safe to ask, like, okay, you know, like, how'd it go, babe? Because that's my close friend.

• 19:30Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, that's your family.

• 19:31Benito Skinner?

  That's my family, that's my brother. And so I see him, and I'm like, oh, my God, like, how'd it go? And he goes, it's still going. And she goes, it's going really well. I couldn't, it's like, and I said, you kids have fun. And I shit myself on the elevator.

• 19:45Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, you dropped chow.

• 19:46Benito Skinner?

  So it was like, I just.

• 19:48Mary Beth Barone?

  That's really, this is really powerful.

• 19:50Benito Skinner?

  And, and I mean, that must have been so cool for her, like, to see a gay guy that's like approved of the guy. Like, I felt like I kind of gave her like, no, he's actually really sweet.

• 19:58Mary Beth Barone?

  And then he could then tell her about you and meeting you in the steam room, and that you're a huge A-lister, you're a celebrity.

• 20:05Benito Skinner?

  I'm an A-list bag, it, baby.

• 20:07Mary Beth Barone?

  And she goes, who? But what's fun is that if we were making a movie about your New York Fashion Week, that character would be like a little recurring runner.

• 20:14Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 20:15Mary Beth Barone?

  And then at the end, they're either engaged, or, yeah, they help us with the caper.

• 20:19Benito Skinner?

  Well, we'd officiate or something.

• 20:21Mary Beth Barone?

  We'd officiate.

• 20:21Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 20:21Mary Beth Barone?

  They get married at the hotel.

• 20:23Benito Skinner?

  Of course.

• 20:23Mary Beth Barone?

  In the, in the ballroom, I can only imagine.

• 20:26Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 20:26Mary Beth Barone?

  And in their wedding photos is a King Kong covered in Swarovski crystal.

• 20:30Benito Skinner?

  That's what we'll be officiating in front of. I love, the best of all of it, we're in New York City, Empire State Building, 30 blocks away, Eiffel Tower. Why?

• 20:41Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, I didn't even hear about this.

• 20:42Benito Skinner?

  King Kong's on the Eiffel Tower.

• 20:43Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, I totally, I was so distracted by the baseball cap.

• 20:46Benito Skinner?

  No, and that's what they want you, I think maybe that's what the artist is doing. It's like.

• 20:52Mary Beth Barone?

  You mean Adrian Brody?

• 20:54Benito Skinner?

  So, The Brutalist, it was beautiful. They fucking ruined it.

• 20:58Mary Beth Barone?

  It was my favorite.

• 20:59Benito Skinner?

  Favorite. Yeah, that was what he was playing with. He was like, it's about foreign affairs. It's about seeing is believing, believing is seeing.

• 21:08Mary Beth Barone?

  It's about what we ride for this week.

• 21:10Benito Skinner?

  Exactly.

• 21:10Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, let's get into it.

• 21:12Benito Skinner?

  I will be riding for Boba T.

• 21:13Mary Beth Barone?

  And I will be riding for wearable art.

• 21:17Benito Skinner?

  Very similar.

• 21:18Mary Beth Barone?

  Very, right. Did you see this? You see?

• 21:21Benito Skinner?

  Andrew?

• 21:22Mary Beth Barone?

  Andrew's seeing it.

• 21:23Benito Skinner?

  You watching porn, baby? So, I, oh, is it okay if I go first?

• 21:29Mary Beth Barone?

  I would love for you to go first. I want, I want mine to percolate a little bit.

• 21:32Benito Skinner?

  Okay, cool, think about it.

• 21:33Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm sitting on my hands this time, so I'm not, I'm not trying to hit the table.

• 21:38Benito Skinner?

  Below DC, mama.

• 21:39Mary Beth Barone?

  So.

• 21:40Benito Skinner?

  So, speaking of Diet Coke, the other day I was walking, and the song "Classic" came on by The Knox.

• 21:45Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, my God.

• 21:46Benito Skinner?

  Feels so classic. And it feels, yeah, it feels, yeah, it feels so classic. And I had a Diet Coke on ice, and I was like, somebody give me some Rollo Blades right now.

• 21:58Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, that's, that's Mandela. But you know, that's Mandela effect, right? Because the song is "Starry Eyes Surprise."

• 22:04Benito Skinner?

  Well, of course, but like.

• 22:05Mary Beth Barone?

  Okay, I'm just making sure.

• 22:06Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, oh, yeah.

• 22:06Mary Beth Barone?

  No, but that song is so that song.

• 22:08Benito Skinner?

  Can you wear the outfit she wears in that Diet Coke ad?

• 22:10Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 22:11Benito Skinner?

  Starry eyes, surprise.

• 22:13Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm only clarifying, because if I don't, someone else will.

• 22:16Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, exactly.

• 22:16Mary Beth Barone?

  You know what I mean?

• 22:17Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 22:18Mary Beth Barone?

  So.

• 22:18Benito Skinner?

  Oh, absolutely, I know what you mean.

• 22:20Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 22:21Benito Skinner?

  I swear to God, like, the messages, it's such a. A mustache can do so much. My messages have been just been crazy.

• 22:30Mary Beth Barone?

  Everyone messaging me about how good you look as well.

• 22:32Benito Skinner?

  Well, for Calvin, they were like, you took her eyebrows and put them above your lip.

• 22:34Mary Beth Barone?

  I know. I actually meant to make that joke in a video, but I, the content was, it all happened so fast. I don't think I nailed the content at that, like for, you know, but it's okay.

• 22:45Benito Skinner?

  You don't think?

• 22:46Mary Beth Barone?

  I don't think I did my best.

• 22:47Benito Skinner?

  I think you did.

• 22:48Mary Beth Barone?

  I think there were better takes, but it's not up to me.

• 22:52Benito Skinner?

  You know what's hard? It's like you'll be in those and then you, when you do like video, like when you do videos, I'm not even saying this. So Boba Tea.

• 23:00Mary Beth Barone?

  But we're keeping that.

• 23:01Benito Skinner?

  Of course. I'm like, I just don't even, oh God. You know, that happened to me recently. I was at a dinner. I was so tired and I was close to like the middle of a story and then I just, I was so zooted. We had been editing all day. I was like,

• 23:14Mary Beth Barone?

  You were crossfaded.

• 23:15Benito Skinner?

  Totally. And I just looked at her and I go, well, you weren't invested in that, right? I'm not, I can't finish.

• 23:19Mary Beth Barone?

  You can abandon a story. You have nothing to prove.

• 23:21Benito Skinner?

  I go, there's no way you want to hear the rest of that, right? And then she was like, that's so fine. If you think about it later and I said,

• 23:26Mary Beth Barone?

  You're going to too many dinners.

• 23:27Benito Skinner?

  I'm not kidding. You won't, I, I will never get that back. I have no idea what I was talking about.

• 23:32Mary Beth Barone?

  Benny, you're going to too many dinners. You can take the guy out of LA. You can't take LA out of the guy.

• 23:36Benito Skinner?

  God, it gotta stop! Andrew tonight, we're on, right? Ruby's? Ruby Tuesdays?

• 23:41Mary Beth Barone?

  He's gonna teach you poker at Ruby Tuesdays.

• 23:43Benito Skinner?

  I'm taking in the Red Robin in Times Square.

• 23:45Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, of course.

• 23:46Benito Skinner?

  Is there a Red Robin there?

• 23:47Mary Beth Barone?

  There's a Red Lobster.

• 23:51Benito Skinner?

  Okay. So that was one of those moments where it's important to watch the pod because we just said a thousand words. So Boba Tea. I, Boba Tea first came into my lexicon and my heart. Um, when my best friends, my, my two roommates in college, it was senior year and we had saved up and we got these really cheap airline tickets to Taiwan. That's where we went for spring break.

• 24:17Mary Beth Barone?

  From DC?

• 24:18Benito Skinner?

  From DC to Taiwan.

• 24:19Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh my, what?

• 24:21Benito Skinner?

  But it was so funny.

• 24:22Mary Beth Barone?

  I have never heard this. This is new lore.

• 24:24Benito Skinner?

  You don't know that I've been to Taiwan?

• 24:25Mary Beth Barone?

  No!

• 24:26Benito Skinner?

  Oh my God.

• 24:26Mary Beth Barone?

  I didn't know you've been to Asia without me.

• 24:28Benito Skinner?

  It was my first time being an A-lister. Everyone took a photo with me because I just, I was so tall. And it was just like, I don't know. I was just, I dressed up so much.

• 24:37Mary Beth Barone?

  Also, that's not, that's not problematic. It is true when tall people go to Asia, they get stopped for photos.

• 24:45Benito Skinner?

  The truth is, I got stopped for photos there. And I was like, oh shit, this is kind of for me.

• 24:52Mary Beth Barone?

  That's when you got the itch, you got the buzz.

• 24:54Benito Skinner?

  I got the look. So I go with my two best friends, Oliver and Lucas. Lucas, the greatest bachelor in New York City.

• 25:00Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, we're trying to, I, we have someone, we're working on it.

• 25:02Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, yeah. Lucas, watch this space. So, um, it's funny. I was with him last night and we were talking about it at a dinner. I remembered everything. I was good. I was fully charged, but no dinner, why I have a dinner tonight, not tomorrow.

• 25:16Benito Skinner?

  So, um, we go into, I'm forgetting the name of the exact market, but it was incredible. The, there's like these night markets in Taiwan and they, it was like the first time I had a Baobabun, changed my life.

• 25:29Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, Baobabuns are huge. A pork Baobabun. I can't eat them anymore, but I have had them before.

• 25:33Benito Skinner?

  Of course. I had like six a night. Also, this is college, like, I'm eating like a college boy, like, I'm like, we are fucking going.

• 25:38Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 25:38Benito Skinner?

  Oh, APC, Petite Sanders. I told you that I actually thought my body didn't make hair on my inner thighs.

• 25:45Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 25:45Benito Skinner?

  And then I started wearing loose pants and I thought, no, it does. I just was ripping all the hairs off for those years. But I'm wearing those. I'm wearing my Supreme hat and a green bomber. Let's fucking,

• 25:56Mary Beth Barone?

  Is it cold in Taiwan?

• 25:57Benito Skinner?

  Okay, well, let me think. I remember it being kind of warm, but not, it was, I just loved it. I loved every minute of it. I loved every place I went. We went to these like, it's really incredible, like tea garden that was like gorgeous and like had tea there and little like crumpets and stuff, but it was so funny. I really meant like the two greatest straight guys because it wasn't a trip of like us being like

• 26:19Mary Beth Barone?

  Going to like,

• 26:19Benito Skinner?

  nasty. We went to like one nightclub one and it was just funny. Like it was just hilarious that we were there because it was like, definitely like, you know, promoting for like younger people or something. So, but then we went and they were playing like American music that came out like four years ago.

• 26:33Mary Beth Barone?

  That's so fun.

• 26:34Benito Skinner?

  It was kind of incredible.

• 26:35Mary Beth Barone?

  That can be so fun.

• 26:36Benito Skinner?

  But I was, that's where I fell in love with Tequila Sunrises and Boba Tea. So Boba Tea originated in Taiwan and they do it in a way that it's almost made it hard having Boba Tea since, I won't lie.

• 26:49Mary Beth Barone?

  You're one of those.

• 26:50Benito Skinner?

  Unless it's Taiwanese owned.

• 26:51Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 26:51Benito Skinner?

  I'll just say it right now because they had, I had this like brown sugar. I'm trying to remember what this thing is. It's like, it almost looks like sawdust that was like put on top of it.

• 27:04Mary Beth Barone?

  Wow, Boba's so up your alley. It's crazy. Like you love, you love a drink with flavor.

• 27:08Benito Skinner?

  I love a drink with flavor and it has testicles in it.

• 27:10Mary Beth Barone?

  It has texture.

• 27:11Benito Skinner?

  It has texture. It's like these little tapioca balls. They, I just like, I'm also oral fixation. I love chewing on shit. I like gums.

• 27:20Mary Beth Barone?

  A fat straw.

• 27:21Benito Skinner?

  Like me and that pen, me, that in chemistry class, I could turn it into a flower.

• 27:27Mary Beth Barone?

  Did it ever explode in your mouth?

• 27:28Benito Skinner?

  No.

• 27:29Mary Beth Barone?

  Not yet.

• 27:30Benito Skinner?

  I know just the way to get it. Just, I, I, that's me playing with fire.

• 27:36Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, I know, I know.

• 27:37Benito Skinner?

  So I go and essentially I become fully addicted while we're on this trip, but my boys did too. We were having like four a day. I, and I've tried every flavor. I rarely pass one and don't get, like if I pass a Boba Tea place, I'm probably getting one. I've found a few. I have, oh my God. I mean, New York City, it's Bobaville.

• 27:57Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah. I mean, they, it's, it's really, it's almost like what Froyo in its prime was now Boba Tea has entered the chat. And as Kai Newman says often, that's dessert.

• 28:06Benito Skinner?

  It's totally dessert.

• 28:07Mary Beth Barone?

  It's like a cake. It's delicious.

• 28:09Benito Skinner?

  Well, it depends. I recently was having one with a man, can you believe? And he, I know. And his had a creme brulee cold foam top. And I was like, that's exactly what this is supposed to be. I, if you want to know my order now, because sometimes it's like, it can get a little too sweet, but I love that there's, you can pick at most Boba Tea places, a sweetness level and how much ice.

• 28:33Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, wow.

• 28:34Benito Skinner?

  Oh my God. It, it is literally, so I'll be like, I kind of go less sweet because it's, if you do too much, you kind of, it's a stomach ache. It's already very sweet. And I do like a little bit more than regular ice with the tapioca balls. I love, um, black milk tea. And at some places they'll do it with coconut milk, heaven. And then I love like a little brown sugar in there. It's just the brown sugar tapioca balls. You're not going to find anything better than that. But I've done a matcha. Oh my God. I had one with, um, with my sister Katie. I think we went to a place in K-Town that had Boba Tea and it was so, that was a really good one in LA. I'm trying to remember the name, but that was shocking. But I just, I, I love it. And then, so imagine you love a drink this much.

• 29:19Benito Skinner?

  And it means the world and it takes you back to a gorgeous time in college with your besties. Can't wait for the overcompensating episode in Taiwan.

• 29:25Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 29:25Benito Skinner?

  Benny and Grace.

• 29:26Mary Beth Barone?

  Benny and Grace go to Taiwan.

• 29:29Benito Skinner?

  I said it in Airbnb.

• 29:30Mary Beth Barone?

  I haven't figured quite why yet, but.

• 29:31Benito Skinner?

  No, it'll be easy. That'll take like two seconds. Rattus Room, me and you. Couple Diet Cokes, we got that.

• 29:37Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh yeah.

• 29:37Benito Skinner?

  Come on, come on. A-lister!

• 29:42Benito Skinner?

  So, uh, this TikTok comes across my For You page. It was, I, nothing has been sent to me more. This young gay man.

• 29:52Mary Beth Barone?

  This changed the course of history.

• 29:54Benito Skinner?

  He's sitting in his car and it's his first time getting a Boba Tea. Or he got one and then it didn't have the tapioca balls. So then he goes back and he gets another one because he's like, these are so good. He is so, he's pure joy in this video. This man, I will post it because this is like, I've yet to find a better video on the internet.

• 30:18Mary Beth Barone?

  This was a canon event.

• 30:18Benito Skinner?

  There's two videos that mean the world to me. This one and the one where the football coach is in the stands and he goes, what's better than this? Guys being dudes.

• 30:26Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh yeah, of course.

• 30:27Benito Skinner?

  And that one obviously is like, it's,

• 30:30Mary Beth Barone?

  That being a top two for you is really interesting.

• 30:32Benito Skinner?

  Do you get that though?

• 30:33Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, I do.

• 30:34Benito Skinner?

  Those are perfect videos.

• 30:35Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 30:35Benito Skinner?

  That, and then maybe Jeffrey Star saying, I fully believe that Diddy killed Tupac. That one, that is also like, I just can't believe it's real.

• 30:46Benito Skinner?

  So he takes a sip and one of the tapiocas goes straight in the back of his mouth.

• 30:51Mary Beth Barone?

  The gullet, yeah.

• 30:52Benito Skinner?

  He chokes and he lived.

• 30:54Mary Beth Barone?

  A projectile.

• 30:55Benito Skinner?

  Projectile all over the car. He had no idea that the balls would come up. I don't know what he was expecting, but,

• 31:01Mary Beth Barone?

  Maybe that they dissolve, but it's, what's really important is that he was rolling.

• 31:07Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 31:07Mary Beth Barone?

  The cameras were rolling.

• 31:08Benito Skinner?

  Cameras were on the,

• 31:08Mary Beth Barone?

  Imagine if that happened and he wasn't rolling. You can't,

• 31:11Benito Skinner?

  I urge everyone, go get a Boba Tea. It's so fun. I just love getting a beverage with, with besties.

• 31:17Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, what a great date spot, especially if you're looking for non-alcoholic alternatives.

• 31:21Benito Skinner?

  How's this feel, you guys?

• 31:22Mary Beth Barone?

  So good.

• 31:23Benito Skinner?

  Like that's so cool, shaky.

• 31:24Mary Beth Barone?

  It's hermetically sealed.

• 31:25Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, it's sealed. And then when you pop that straw in there.

• 31:28Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, it's awesome.

• 31:29Benito Skinner?

  I mean, there's nothing better. They're just so cute. They can also look so good with your outfit.

• 31:33Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, it's innovation. You know, I love innovating.

• 31:35Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 31:35Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm always innovating, which is why my TV is currently on the floor propped up against a chair.

• 31:39Benito Skinner?

  I did see that last time. When I was mounting you.

• 31:42Mary Beth Barone?

  Right. When you were, when you were straddling me, which I don't recall.

• 31:45Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 31:46Mary Beth Barone?

  So it's, and that's innovation. I'm not ready to mount it yet, but the TV is still functional.

• 31:50Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 31:50Mary Beth Barone?

  When they, when they, those, the innovators in Taiwan came up with this Boba Tea idea, it's like, how do we get something chewable in a drink? And it's like, they fucking nailed it.

• 32:00Benito Skinner?

  No, they said like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

• 32:05Mary Beth Barone?

  They went like this.

• 32:06Benito Skinner?

  They bit their finger and they go huh. And how to make tapioca balls is crazy. You have to like sizzle them on a skillet and stuff. At least that I've seen.

• 32:14Mary Beth Barone?

  I need a gluten free Boba place. I don't, I know tapioca is gluten free, but something about the balls isn't. So I haven't had Boba in a really long time.

• 32:22Benito Skinner?

  Well, you know, you could get the, um, I forget what they're called. They're almost like little burstable. They're not lychee. I'm trying to think, cause they have those like balls that are not the tapioca, but they're like, they kind of burst in your mouth.

• 32:32Mary Beth Barone?

  They're just similar sensation.

• 32:34Benito Skinner?

  I like those two, but I like to chew my testicles.

• 32:37Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, of course.

• 32:37Benito Skinner?

  Personally.

• 32:38Mary Beth Barone?

  Of course.

• 32:39Benito Skinner?

  But I just, I go get a Boba tea. I love them so much. I miss Taiwan. I want to come back.

• 32:45Mary Beth Barone?

  I think we're gonna go.

• 32:46Benito Skinner?

  I think we have to. It's a really incredible place because it both has like, it, it, it has two cultures that have come together to make this kind of like unbelievable place. It's both Chinese and Japanese and it's very like Taiwan's that girl.

• 32:59Mary Beth Barone?

  I love you taking a globe out of Law Roach's bag, spinning it as a senior in high school college. And you go, we're going to Taiwan. Ladies.

• 33:08Benito Skinner?

  Oliver also brought me to Moldova. I've been to Moldova. I watched Foxcatcher in the Moldova airport. Tell me I haven't, tell me I haven't seen the world. Tell me, uh, Nine Lives.

• 33:19Mary Beth Barone?

  I watched Shame at the Madrid airport.

• 33:22Benito Skinner?

  What a, oh my God, what a perfect combo. You know, Shame was the Jake, Jake Samus, your security guard and I, we were talking about what we wanted for the Calvin Klein look. Shame was kind of the vibe.

• 33:32Mary Beth Barone?

  Shame is huge and you totally fucking nailed it. I love that movie. It's really sad though.

• 33:36Benito Skinner?

  Carey Mulligan, if she's there, I'm seated.

• 33:38Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 33:38Benito Skinner?

  And Michael Fassbender. He's in 300.

• 33:43Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, that did not, when I was in my Michael Fassbender like stan era, I did not know that.

• 33:47Benito Skinner?

  He's like one of the leads in 300. His, yeah, and his body is just like, it's, it's actually the craziest thing I've ever seen.

• 33:54Mary Beth Barone?

  All right. I guess I gotta watch 300 finally.

• 33:56Benito Skinner?

  Like he'd love Boba tea.

• 33:57Mary Beth Barone?

  They said I could, they said I'd never watch 300. Well, they were wrong.

• 34:01Benito Skinner?

  They were fucking wrong.

• 34:02Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm gonna do it finally.

• 34:03Benito Skinner?

  I think, I mean, please wait for me to watch it.

• 34:05Mary Beth Barone?

  I will.

• 34:06Benito Skinner?

  There's such.

• 34:07Mary Beth Barone?

  Watch it on my floor with the TV.

• 34:08Benito Skinner?

  My God, it's like every part of it is like. It was just such a perfect, who did I just talk about this with? It was just such a perfect cross section of like.

• 34:18Mary Beth Barone?

  I think it was on the pod.

• 34:19Benito Skinner?

  Nevermind. Yeah, it was. Next. K18 is a biotech engineered hair care brand on a mission to unlock your fullest expression without hair damage. I am obsessed with the leave in conditioner stuff. Like I put that in after just like a big week on set because I'm an actor.

• 34:36Mary Beth Barone?

  Right.

• 34:37Benito Skinner?

  Understanding the biology of hair, by the way, is that what you were gonna say?

• 34:40Mary Beth Barone?

  I was gonna say that.

• 34:41Benito Skinner?

  Keep going.

• 34:42Mary Beth Barone?

  They use biotech instead of cosmetic chemistry to engineer real and lasting solutions for your hair concerns.

• 34:48Benito Skinner?

  K18's air wash dry shampoo is bestselling non aerosol dry shampoo for all hair types. I'm obsessed with the K18. They have a great, um, kind of like detox shampoo.

• 34:58Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, the woman that cuts my hair is obsessed with it.

• 35:00Benito Skinner?

  My concern is just like buildup and I think also like using too many products because when you do that every day, you get a lot of scalp buildup and then it can be really dry because you do have to wash.

• 35:09Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, also it's like, does your hair get greasy, oily or limp between wash days? Do you work out and have to put off sweating, hot yoga lifting because of the extra work your hair will need after? Do you hate the gritty, starchy buildup that most dry shampoos leave behind? Like all these things, like you can solve it with K18.

• 35:24Benito Skinner?

  K18 is just one of those things you see in Sephora and you're like, whoa, science is here and thank God because yeah, I'm purchasing. And it really is all so unbelievably worth it. And when I see someone's got K18 in their bathroom, like you and me, I'm like, oh. And I steal it. I, I pack, I fill my pockets.

• 35:40Mary Beth Barone?

  So I think the science of fresh hair is like so important and they're finally using science to help women. It's like about damn time. You can instantly eliminate odor and reduce oil and sweat even in the summer heat.

• 35:50Benito Skinner?

  Fresh hair and scalp for up to three days.

• 35:53Mary Beth Barone?

  The first biotech powered dry shampoo, no white cast, starchy buildup or heavy fragrance says. And now K18 has their future IQ, which starts reversing hair age in three months. For 19,000 more hairs, 70% show fewer grays, plus improved scalp barrier. Shop at Sephora. My God, go ahead.

• 36:12Benito Skinner?

  We always tell people that. Are you kidding? Or get 10% off your first purchase at k18hair.com with code RIDE. That's code RIDE at k18hair.com.

• 36:39Mary Beth Barone?

  Let's talk about wearable art.

• 36:40Benito Skinner?

  Oh my God.

• 36:41Mary Beth Barone?

  Obviously I have a lot to say on this, but it's also a very simple concept and I love clothes. I don't think that's a secret at this point.

• 36:48Benito Skinner?

  Elia at the US Open.

• 36:49Mary Beth Barone?

  Elia with a hood at the US Open.

• 36:51Benito Skinner?

  That was like, have you posted that yet?

• 36:53Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm posting it. I will have posted by the time this comes out.

• 36:55Benito Skinner?

  Read the messages I sent to you.

• 36:57Mary Beth Barone?

  You said you're entering, you're fully entering fashion icon status.

• 37:01Benito Skinner?

  And then I sat with after messaging it because sometimes you'll have these things where it's just like, I am just simply a gay boy, standing in front of a girl, a bi one. Asking her to make art with him and trouble.

• 37:13Mary Beth Barone?

  And I'm, and she's saying yes.

• 37:14Benito Skinner?

  And she's saying yes, but I am just a fan at the end of the day. It's what I always say to Charlie. I'm like, I'm fan first. It's nothing I can, I'm a fan of you first and friends second. And both are big, like I'm a big fan and a big friend, but at the same time, it's just like, I'm gonna fan you first.

• 37:27Mary Beth Barone?

  But then you said pedestrian ass message. That will be in the dump by the way.

• 37:31Benito Skinner?

  Good. Cause it was just, I, I read it back and I went, that seems like someone who's never met her.

• 37:36Mary Beth Barone?

  You never saw the hood, Elia with a hood at the, at the open.

• 37:39Benito Skinner?

  I just didn't think you were gonna do that and not tell me beforehand. So that's what's exciting. I love when we surprise each other.

• 37:45Mary Beth Barone?

  We can still surprise each other. Like you going, me hearing that you went to Taiwan.

• 37:49Benito Skinner?

  Exactly. Or when I, there was one look I did, it was like an Armani look with spiky hair and glasses. And after you were like, whoa, whoa, you didn't tell me about this.

• 37:59Mary Beth Barone?

  Tell me that. You were doing that.

• 38:00Benito Skinner?

  What'd you do? Who you, who are you with?

• 38:03Mary Beth Barone?

  What do you do? Who do you know? Where you been? What do you, what do you, her being so mad.

• 38:09Mary Beth Barone?

  We have to talk about that. We still haven't talked, because there's no, can I tell you, there's no way for me to write that down.

• 38:14Benito Skinner?

  I had, you made me perform this in front of Scott King, one of the directors in the show, when I were overcompensating. Mary Beth made me do this because I, I was doing it to her and he goes, what are you guys doing? And she's like, Benny, do it.

• 38:26Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, I said, explain it first.

• 38:27Benito Skinner?

  And I was like, you know, when Carrie, Aiden's being like lazy and sitting on the seat, Aiden's being like classic lazy top.

• 38:34Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 38:34Benito Skinner?

  And she's going, come on, let's go out. Cause he wants to eat like fried chicken after playing basketball, which I've never understood that combo. But she goes.

• 38:47Benito Skinner?

  And it's kind of like, she's all of us.

• 38:50Mary Beth Barone?

  Sorry, no one's doing it like her. Speaking of wearable art, by the way.

• 38:54Benito Skinner?

  Oh. Voila, la french fry.

• 38:57Mary Beth Barone?

  Don't do that. Don't mock the clothes.

• 38:59Benito Skinner?

  Laugh. It's a joke.

• 39:01Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, laugh. It's a joke.

• 39:04Mary Beth Barone?

  So Carrie Bradshaw inspired, I think a generation of women and of course many, many women that came before and after her to, to embrace the idea of wearable art. Because to me, so much of fashion is wearable art. It's like somebody sketched that out, designed it, they produced it. A lot of love went into it. A lot of thought went into it and it is a piece of wearable art. So I feel very lucky that I have so many pieces that I consider wearable art. The Vivian corset.

• 39:33Benito Skinner?

  Oh my God, I love that corset. So beautiful.

• 39:36Mary Beth Barone?

  I would say, of course, the Elia with the hood. I would, there's a Cavalli dress I haven't even worn yet. That's wearable art.

• 39:43Benito Skinner?

  Andrew can't wait to see it. We're all waiting.

• 39:45Mary Beth Barone?

  Asking for photos I'm not sending.

• 39:47Benito Skinner?

  Yes.

• 39:47Mary Beth Barone?

  Then of course, you know, you have a Merakami speedy bag, which I brought with me today. It's like, it's wearable art and it doesn't have to be designer. There's also wearable art that can be vintage or it has meaning for you because of your family or you wore it to a specific event. That makes it wearable art to you, but I just think it's so fun. And sometimes I'll just go on first dibs or the real real and just look. I'll, I'll go on first dibs and type in like Tom Ford Gucci and just see what's on there. So much wearable art.

• 40:12Benito Skinner?

  Such a cool alert to have on there.

• 40:14Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, it's amazing. And so I just think like fashion, I have so much appreciation for it. That's why I love pulling from archives. And trying to wear pieces that are very old or have a lot of history, the Disney vault, the Marissa Cooper dress, for example. I'm working on getting the Chanel prom dress.

• 40:30Benito Skinner?

  So much more to come. Just like watch this space, please.

• 40:33Mary Beth Barone?

  But I really feel like a connection to femininity and also like, I really just appreciate it so much. And it's not just about like designers and labels. I don't want it to come off as that at all. It's like, I, there, I think my blankie is wearable art in a lot of ways.

• 40:47Benito Skinner?

  Totally.

• 40:48Mary Beth Barone?

  I don't wear her out anymore because she's crumbling, but.

• 40:50Benito Skinner?

  The recreation of your galaxy brain by my lovely. Okay, Adrienne, I'm so sorry. I think I'm butchering your last name to everyone I've ever met, but it's Arnery, Arnery?

• 41:02Mary Beth Barone?

  Something like that.

• 41:03Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, I will, I, yeah, you know, I love you. I just, I don't know anyone's last name anymore.

• 41:07Mary Beth Barone?

  Last names are tricky and sometimes even first names are. So I don't really like to say them anymore.

• 41:11Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, I know, but Adrienne, I love you so much, baby. But that to me, it's like, it is wearable art. It's, I mean, you're preaching to the choir here. There's nothing I love more.

• 41:19Mary Beth Barone?

  I went to the Wiederhoff show. My God, so much wearable art.

• 41:23Benito Skinner?

  Oh my God. You know what? I saw, I went to, where was it at?

• 41:29Benito Skinner?

  What's the museum in London that starts with a B? The Barbicon? But they're like the Babacan.

• 41:34Mary Beth Barone?

  Sure.

• 41:34Benito Skinner?

  They say it in like a, it sounds better when they say it and I say it and it sounds like Burger King.

• 41:38Mary Beth Barone?

  Churchill war rooms.

• 41:39Benito Skinner?

  I'm like, the burger. Like I sound insane. Also isn't my, isn't this so Pink Panther? The burger. So I went there and they had one of the McQueen dresses from the Highland rape. It was kind of the most incredible thing I've ever seen. And when I went to at the V and A, same time, around the same time I went to Taiwan. I was studying abroad in London and my parents were visiting me and me in the closet. I said, can we go to the V and A McQueen show?

• 42:09Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 42:09Benito Skinner?

  That was like, I had never, I think I had always loved fashion and I was a streetwear and I was like Virgil and Supreme and like, I was more.

• 42:20Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, those are more like straight male brands.

• 42:21Benito Skinner?

  Exactly. But then I went to that and I was like, oh my God, these are like sculptures. This is like beyond anything that like to just, if you've ever like disrespected fashion, it's like, don't mock the clothes.

• 42:33Mary Beth Barone?

  Don't mock the clothes.

• 42:33Benito Skinner?

  That was one of the most unbelievable, like the Philip Tracy hats, the like.

• 42:36Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, Scaparelli, I was thinking, I'm just thinking of now who's like carrying the torch. And I think Scaparelli is doing some amazing things with wearable art. And then there's this Versace dress that Princess Diana wore, Shein. There's a Versace dress that Princess Diana wore that I think is like in the Smithsonian or something, but it's just like.

• 42:52Benito Skinner?

  As it should be. Where's the revenge dress?

• 42:55Mary Beth Barone?

  Not sure.

• 42:55Benito Skinner?

  That was Versace.

• 42:57Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah. I think like it's, it says so much about the woman wearing the clothes, like what she puts on.

• 43:02Benito Skinner?

  And the gay guy.

• 43:03Mary Beth Barone?

  And not everyone has to understand it. What's been really interesting, I think, is looking back, and maybe I've talked about this before, but looking back at red carpet moments that were considered flops at the time. Like the Bjork swan dress or when Gwyneth went goth at the Golden Globes or Oscars, I believe. Or that Courtney Love Golden Globes dress that was kind of shredded. Like people that just got like roasted for what they were wearing. And then now we look back on that and we were like, God, that was such like a moment.

• 43:27Benito Skinner?

  Singular.

• 43:28Mary Beth Barone?

  Singular. And I think it's just, yeah, it's about how it makes you feel and if you feel powerful and like you can take up space in the clothes. And I just think like, I feel so much privilege that we live in a time where fashion is really celebrated.

• 43:42Benito Skinner?

  Let me tell you a story. Do you mind? Gaga was touched, she was gonna touchdown in Greece during her art pop era. You want to talk about wearable art? You want to talk about wearable art? She touches down all that they have in a bag because she doesn't know that all the paparazzi are gonna be there. They kind of weren't aware that it was gonna be such a thing, that a huge, huge crowds were waiting. She had two seashells, some fishnets and a wig. She came out and it is, I get chills. It, it's like wearable art. She stuck those seashells right over her bubbas and she stepped out and turned it. And I'm, and I think it's kind of got like a sarong or something like they just, it's so like, it's just, and to me, wearable art.

• 44:27Mary Beth Barone?

  Wearable art.

• 44:27Benito Skinner?

  But that whole campaign, she is full wearable art.

• 44:30Mary Beth Barone?

  It's wearable art.

• 44:30Benito Skinner?

  But I'm thinking about Rihanna and the, is it Guaipe, Guaipe? The, I'm gonna, I'm definitely pronouncing that wrong. I mean, I'm sorry for that, but the yellow coat, I mean, is the most unbelievable thing in history.

• 44:43Mary Beth Barone?

  She also wore the YSL heart shaped.

• 44:46Benito Skinner?

  Oh, come on. That's like, that changed millennial culture.

• 44:50Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, incredible.

• 44:50Benito Skinner?

  Urban outfitters saw that and they were all beating off.

• 44:52Mary Beth Barone?

  And the sheer dress. I think she won a, she was winning a fashion award and she wore that sparkly sheer with the fur, with the fur. You know what I'm talking about?

• 45:02Benito Skinner?

  God, when she won the CFDA.

• 45:03Mary Beth Barone?

  The CFDA.

• 45:04Benito Skinner?

  Icon award.

• 45:05Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 45:05Benito Skinner?

  That was Adam Selman.

• 45:07Mary Beth Barone?

  The dress?

• 45:08Benito Skinner?

  He did that and then Mel Ottenberg styled it.

• 45:10Mary Beth Barone?

  I didn't even know that.

• 45:10Benito Skinner?

  I'm like pretty positive.

• 45:11Mary Beth Barone?

  We'll triple check.

• 45:12Benito Skinner?

  That is, but I, I'm so glad you said this because recently I came across the impossible true love Prada shirt that I had loved so much. That Virgil had worn and Virgil was like, I mean, he is everything to me. And it was like so this shirt and I had always wanted it and like, I just, I kept looking. I can never really find it or it wasn't the right size. And then I finally found it on the real, real and someone DM'd me and they're like, Benny, here's the shirt. It was like such a fair price. I was like, here, so I have it and I, I have my wearable art.

• 45:39Mary Beth Barone?

  See where you're gonna wear it to.

• 45:40Benito Skinner?

  I know. It's like, I kind of might just wear it to like fucking brunch in a boba tea with my bestie. Like I kind of, my thing, I'm like, wear it.

• 45:47Mary Beth Barone?

  You can just do that.

• 45:48Benito Skinner?

  My thing also lately is just like, wear the thing. I have been.

• 45:51Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm wearing a Miu Miu apron skirt right now.

• 45:53Benito Skinner?

  I've been immersed in TikTok stories of nine 11 and they just, they won't stop showing me. And I also, I'm like, I want to see these things because I want to like.

• 46:02Mary Beth Barone?

  You want to learn.

• 46:03Benito Skinner?

  I want to learn. I don't want to be desensitized to horror, like horrible things.

• 46:08Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 46:08Benito Skinner?

  So I was watching and it's like, it's just have gratitude, go out. It's, you know, I'm not relating that. You know, I'm not relating nine 11 to fashion, but I am saying like.

• 46:19Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, why the hell not?

• 46:20Benito Skinner?

  There is something to go out and wear clothes and enjoy your life.

• 46:23Mary Beth Barone?

  Enjoy your life, live.

• 46:24Benito Skinner?

  Get it fucked up.

• 46:25Mary Beth Barone?

  Have experiences.

• 46:26Benito Skinner?

  These things should be worn unless they should be in museums and then let's keep them in museums.

• 46:29Mary Beth Barone?

  Museums. Oh, totally. And I know exactly what you mean by that.

• 46:32Benito Skinner?

  Let's just kind of like keep things in museums.

• 46:33Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 46:34Benito Skinner?

  I think like, that's probably where they should be.

• 46:36Mary Beth Barone?

  If they're in there, that's, yeah, let's keep them there.

• 46:38Benito Skinner?

  I get a little scared. Anytime I see someone wearing like a true archival McQueen piece that's not Lady Gaga, I'm like, oof.

• 46:45Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, is it being taken care of?

• 46:46Benito Skinner?

  Very nervous. Just be very careful, my love.

• 46:49Mary Beth Barone?

  I consider both Armani looks that I wore in Venice to be wearable art. I mean, the beads, the mesh, the.

• 46:56Benito Skinner?

  Can I tell you some of my favorites of yours?

• 46:57Mary Beth Barone?

  Please. Well, I just want to say really quick. I think Zendaya and La Roche are doing amazing job.

• 47:01Benito Skinner?

  Yes.

• 47:02Mary Beth Barone?

  Doing an amazing job of bringing wearable art to the red carpet. And in some cases, the designer is holding a dress or a piece for two years.

• 47:11Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 47:11Mary Beth Barone?

  Knowing that that wearable art is gonna be worn by.

• 47:14Benito Skinner?

  With the fecal matter that she wore to the Odyssey with the wings is like.

• 47:18Mary Beth Barone?

  Fecal matter?

• 47:19Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, that's the name of the brand.

• 47:20Mary Beth Barone?

  Okay.

• 47:22Benito Skinner?

  Isn't it? It's like.

• 47:24Mary Beth Barone?

  And I wanted to say Cher as well.

• 47:25Benito Skinner?

  Correct. Yeah.

• 47:26Mary Beth Barone?

  Cher, Cher is.

• 47:27Benito Skinner?

  Or it's Materia fecal. Yeah.

• 47:29Mary Beth Barone?

  We'll see.

• 47:30Benito Skinner?

  Girl.

• 47:32Mary Beth Barone?

  You can name some ones that you love.

• 47:34Benito Skinner?

  Of yours. You want me to tell you things I love you own?

• 47:37Mary Beth Barone?

  And watch.

• 47:37Benito Skinner?

  Marissa Cooper dress obviously is wearable art because it tells such a story. I love things like that, that have so much history attached to them.

• 47:46Benito Skinner?

  Oh my God, wait, I just, as I was thinking about yours, I thought about my JFK coat that E R L made for me.

• 47:52Mary Beth Barone?

  And that's wearable art.

• 47:53Benito Skinner?

  That was wearable art and that literally was, it was like fully like painted and screen printed on the back.

• 47:57Mary Beth Barone?

  You told me to watch the Bob Mackie documentary, which was available on Delta for a while. It was so good.

• 48:03Benito Skinner?

  He, I'm so sorry to tell you this. He passed away this morning. That is so crazy you're bringing this up to me. I just saw it. I was devastated. Legend forever. If you haven't, go watch this documentary, honor him. He is.

• 48:15Mary Beth Barone?

  So good.

• 48:16Benito Skinner?

  I mean, the friendship with Cher.

• 48:18Mary Beth Barone?

  His creative relationship with Cher, I think should be studied and I'm so glad that they dive into it in the documentary.

• 48:23Benito Skinner?

  You have to watch it.

• 48:24Mary Beth Barone?

  Six to 10 more hours about that.

• 48:26Benito Skinner?

  Bob Mackie, Naked Illusion, which obviously is referencing Cher at the Met. That dress.

• 48:31Mary Beth Barone?

  So many moments.

• 48:33Benito Skinner?

  I mean, that's all wearable art. You know who's doing just incredible wearable art? Jared Elner.

• 48:38Mary Beth Barone?

  Jared Elner.

• 48:39Benito Skinner?

  That's a genius stylist who's making so many moments of wearable art. Huge shout out to him.

• 48:44Mary Beth Barone?

  And I have to shout out your stylist, Jake Samus.

• 48:47Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 48:47Mary Beth Barone?

  Who supports our endeavors with wearable art.

• 48:49Benito Skinner?

  Of course.

• 48:49Mary Beth Barone?

  And then of course, Kat De Palos, who's my stylist, who I feel like even when I want to do like Joker glam at the Gotham's, she's like, okay, let's figure out how to make it work. That's wearable art to me.

• 48:59Benito Skinner?

  Well, of course, and that all counts. It's all a part of it. It's, and I think that too of like having, um, it's respecting the clothes. Don't mock the clothes.

• 49:08Mary Beth Barone?

  Don't mock the clothes.

• 49:09Benito Skinner?

  I think there's something, you know, when people kind of do the eye roll of fashion, I'm like, this is like really, it can be, it's so beautiful. I think it's like, it's new shapes, it's architectural, it's passionate, it's like referencing, like it's historical. I don't know.

• 49:22Mary Beth Barone?

  And you don't have to get it to appreciate it. Like you don't have to get it.

• 49:25Benito Skinner?

  It doesn't mean I want to wear all of it. It just means there are some things where I'm like this, and I think there's something beautiful about that speaking to you and you wanting to like make it yours. And I get very inspired when I see people wear things that I'm like, oh, that is so coming from you. Like seeing you in the Marissa Cooper dress, I'm like, there's so much history already there that it just feels like that's heaven. And I can't wait for you guys to see me drinking a fricking fatty boba tea in my little Prada.

• 49:52Mary Beth Barone?

  I can't wait for that too.

• 49:54Benito Skinner?

  God, oh my God, what else do I love that you've worn? The Elia meant the fucking world to me. I loved your cavali at the overcompensating premiere, the leopard. Cause you didn't tell me you were wearing that yet. I didn't know that was your dress.

• 50:05Mary Beth Barone?

  That was a surprise.

• 50:05Benito Skinner?

  And then I got sent a photo before I arrived and I was like, well, that just is beautiful.

• 50:09Mary Beth Barone?

  Also the Elia GQ man of the year, UK. That was so fun. That felt like wearable art.

• 50:14Benito Skinner?

  Dylan Mulvaney has that dress now.

• 50:16Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, she just recently returned it to me.

• 50:18Benito Skinner?

  Okay.

• 50:18Mary Beth Barone?

  She wore it. Of course, I think if you, if you trust people with the clothes, you should, you should share.

• 50:23Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 50:23Mary Beth Barone?

  To me, that feels good.

• 50:24Benito Skinner?

  Also shout out Stacey.

• 50:26Mary Beth Barone?

  Shout out Stacey.

• 50:27Benito Skinner?

  You know?

• 50:28Mary Beth Barone?

  Should we get into ride or die?

• 50:29Benito Skinner?

  Yeah. I obviously ride for wearable art. I mean, my God, look at me. Andrew, close your eyes. But yeah, I, I think, um, there is such beauty in it. And I think, I really always love going to the Met exhibits and seeing, and seeing the clothes. I think the last one I fully went to though, cause I hadn't been to New York when they were showing it, was the camp one. And that obviously you want to talk about wearable art.

• 50:55Mary Beth Barone?

  At Met Gala.

• 50:56Benito Skinner?

  No, like Jeremy Scott's like, you're a hot dog.

• 50:59Mary Beth Barone?

  So you're a hot dog.

• 51:00Benito Skinner?

  Amen.

• 51:01Mary Beth Barone?

  You're a cheeto.

• 51:02Benito Skinner?

  There's this cheeto dress that like we have to find for you because I've got something planned.

• 51:05Mary Beth Barone?

  No, I think it's in a museum though, for real.

• 51:07Benito Skinner?

  Is it really? I know it was at the Met Gala, but maybe, maybe one night only. And this is the one time I'm fine with it being taken out of a museum.

• 51:14Mary Beth Barone?

  You know, who, you know, who I love to follow for wearable art is also Tab Vintage.

• 51:18Benito Skinner?

  Oh, Tab.

• 51:18Mary Beth Barone?

  From Alexis Novak. I mean, there's just so much.

• 51:21Benito Skinner?

  The amount of times I'm sending that, yeah, I know. It's like, they're just, it's so fun. It's like, it's our armor for real.

• 51:28Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 51:28Benito Skinner?

  But, um, of course I love it. Alita Battle Angel in a lot of ways. And I was gonna say that. Talk about boba tea. Do you ride?

• 51:35Mary Beth Barone?

  I of course ride for boba tea. I love to see the joy that it brings. It's not something, again, it's something I can appreciate, but I can't participate.

• 51:42Benito Skinner?

  Any of your outfits, by the way.

• 51:43Mary Beth Barone?

  With any outfit, you could just carry it as a prop if you can't actually like partake in drinking it. But when, on the times that I did have it, I enjoyed it so much because I love, there are certain mixes of textures that I don't like. Like if you're biting into a salad and you feel a crunch that you weren't expecting, obviously that's really scary. That can put me off food for a couple of days.

• 52:00Benito Skinner?

  I had lemons, I had bitten to a lemon seed.

• 52:02Mary Beth Barone?

  I don't like that.

• 52:03Benito Skinner?

  Oh my God.

• 52:03Mary Beth Barone?

  I don't like that. But when it's a beverage with a chewable, like, but there's, it's substance to it. I like, there's no English word for it. I'm sure the French have a word for that texture, but.

• 52:13Benito Skinner?

  Just we de la monte.

• 52:14Mary Beth Barone?

  Just we de la monte. But I love also, what I really love is when a new, another culture brings something to America for all to enjoy. Obviously I think Americans should also leave the country more and experience different cultures, but we are so grateful that you brought boba tea here alone. You opened up a franchise, a franchise.

• 52:32Benito Skinner?

  I packed four in my bag. They exploded everywhere, but I brought them back from Taiwan and I said.

• 52:35Mary Beth Barone?

  And you reformulated them in the lab.

• 52:37Benito Skinner?

  Of course, I had to, I had to figure out.

• 52:39Mary Beth Barone?

  Oppenheimer drink the other day, the coffee spritz.

• 52:41Benito Skinner?

  Oh my God.

• 52:41Mary Beth Barone?

  Americans need to go experience other cultures. I'm not saying everything should be brought to our doorstep.

• 52:45Benito Skinner?

  Don't be an asshole when you go there though.

• 52:46Mary Beth Barone?

  But, oh, please respect the culture and don't litter.

• 52:49Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 52:50Mary Beth Barone?

  But I think it's really cool that we can have a custom from another culture that comes here and just like, is, I mean, it's flying off the shelves. It's like hotcakes.

• 52:58Benito Skinner?

  I know.

• 52:59Mary Beth Barone?

  It's really cool.

• 53:00Benito Skinner?

  It's like a revolution.

• 53:01Mary Beth Barone?

  It's a total revolution. It's a beverage revolution.

• 53:04Benito Skinner?

  You know, there used to play a place called Juice Generation in Williamsburg.

• 53:07Mary Beth Barone?

  There's still a place called that. Yeah.

• 53:09Benito Skinner?

  I had a joke that I would say to people all the time and no one ever laughed at it and it made me laugh in a way that I still, I would go.

• 53:20Benito Skinner?

  Oh my god. I really am just alone in my mind. I would go, "We are the Juice Generation."

• 53:25Mary Beth Barone?

  No, of course.

• 53:28Mary Beth Barone?

  That is objectively funny.

• 53:30Benito Skinner?

  Thank you.

• 53:30Mary Beth Barone?

  Juice Generation.

• 53:31Benito Skinner?

  We are the Juice Generation.

• 53:33Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, I want to open a boba place called The Beverage Revolution.

• 53:37Benito Skinner?

  Wait, that's so good.

• 53:38Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 53:38Benito Skinner?

  Bo Benny.

• 53:39Mary Beth Barone?

  But of course, it's like, we have Taiwanese people like own it, run it, and make all the money from it. We don't profit.

• 53:45Benito Skinner?

  Little boba peep. I'm thinking of all my versions.

• 53:49Mary Beth Barone?

  Whoa.

• 53:49Benito Skinner?

  I went to a place yesterday called Soft Swerve.

• 53:51Mary Beth Barone?

  That should be on the menu, little boba peep.

• 53:53Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, little boba peep. Little boba peep. It's strawberry and cream.

• 53:56Mary Beth Barone?

  Beverage Revolution.

• 53:58Benito Skinner?

  I would love to make beverages.

• 54:00Mary Beth Barone?

  Maybe in our, in our final act, after you do your Benny Drama Star Academy, we go on to open Beverage Revolution, and of course, every crematory cremation.

• 54:10Benito Skinner?

  Frozen yogurt and boba tea.

• 54:12Mary Beth Barone?

  We'll have a boba tea stand.

• 54:13Benito Skinner?

  Well, how are you gonna slurp down your froyo? You gotta have a drink, right?

• 54:17Mary Beth Barone?

  It's double dessert.

• 54:18Benito Skinner?

  It's a two for one.

• 54:19Mary Beth Barone?

  It's double dessert.

• 54:20Benito Skinner?

  It's a two for one, and then you get to see my tombstone.

• 54:22Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, because it's sad that you've lost someone, but then you could have some froyo.

• 54:25Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 54:28Benito Skinner?

  Calabunga.

• 54:30Mary Beth Barone?

  Thank you.

• 54:37Benito Skinner?

  Oh, my exit.

• 54:38Mary Beth Barone?

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