0:41 Benito Skinner? I'm here to say that we're not.
0:43 Mary Beth Barone? Are we rolling, Jimmy?
0:44 Benito Skinner? Are we rolling? Welcome to Couples Therapy. I'm Benito Skinner.
0:48 Mary Beth Barone? This is Orna.
0:49 Benito Skinner? This is Orna.
0:50 Mary Beth Barone? Orna's the couples therapist on Couples Therapy.
0:52 Benito Skinner? I'm Orna. I wonder which camera's focused on me, Jimmy?
0:54 Mary Beth Barone? They're all focused on you. It's weird, because there's three of us here, but all the cameras are pointing at Benny.
0:59 Benito Skinner? As they should be.
1:00 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
1:01 Benito Skinner? Jimmy knows me. Well, Jimmy loves to see me from every side.
1:04 Mary Beth Barone? He sees you.
1:05 Benito Skinner? What did Jimmy say just now that broke my heart two million pieces?
1:08 Mary Beth Barone? I don't know.
1:09 Benito Skinner? I said a British man, [BLEEP].
1:10 Mary Beth Barone? And he said another one?
1:12 Benito Skinner? Jimmy.
1:13 Mary Beth Barone? Broke my heart two million pieces. That sort of insinuated it was something negative. It was actually something really nice.
1:18 Benito Skinner? Having a broken heart can be gorgeous. Do you understand? Speaking of which, we have a very special guest today. I'm shaking. I cannot believe it.
1:28 Mary Beth Barone? You should be.
1:30 Benito Skinner? What if you didn't say a word this whole time? Completely silent.
1:33 Mary Beth Barone? Like the Holmes episode?
1:35 Benito Skinner? No, literally, I carried that on my back, girl.
1:37 Mary Beth Barone? Okay, no, and I do wanna clear the air on this. I could not get a word in edgewise. Everything I said on that episode, I had to say twice, because these two motor mouths were yapping, and I was just like, I'm gonna let them handle it.
1:47 Benito Skinner? Can I have some time off? It was double Dutch. It was double Dutch. I'm just gonna sit. I'm gonna sit here and just let you guys go. You have fun. I'm happy to be here. You know how much I love you.
1:58 Speaker 02 I love you too.
1:59 Benito Skinner? Eddie Obama.
2:00 Mary Beth Barone? Why do you guys date then? Well?
2:01 Speaker 02 Well, we didn't have a chance because someone was taking up all my time.
2:04 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, you had plenty of time.
2:05 Benito Skinner? We've kind of done everything, though. Like, we've showered together, we've slept in the same bed. We've, like, gone on tour together.
2:11 Mary Beth Barone? Farted in each other's direction.
2:12 Benito Skinner? I have farted on Edward.
2:13 Speaker 02 Multiple times.
2:14 Benito Skinner? Let's be real.
2:15 Speaker 02 From a few angles.
2:16 Mary Beth Barone? We did tour with you, Ride Live, you were there.
2:18 Speaker 02 I was there.
2:18 Benito Skinner? Ride Live was a time, can I just say?
2:21 Speaker 02 It was fabulous. I was there for Eye Candy.
2:23 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
2:23 Speaker 02 I am now. We bonded a lot.
2:26 Mary Beth Barone? You took some good pictures of us.
2:27 Speaker 02 And what was great is you got to use a lot of eras that maybe Mary Beth was completely sick of. And I'm one of your best, best audience. I love everything. I love everything you do.
2:37 Benito Skinner? It's so, Edward is my favorite. I just got really warm because it's like Eddie's here and he just makes me.
2:42 Speaker 02 Being locked in a hotel room with you while you're just trying out new eras.
2:47 Benito Skinner? And clothes, like, I love dressing Edward. I love shopping with Jedward, is what I call him. I think Jedward's the name of someone on TikTok. Eddie Obama, do I have shit on my face?
2:56 Speaker 02 No, no, no, no, this is for me.
2:57 Mary Beth Barone? Do your Skyfall bits so we can?
2:59 Speaker 02 Do the Skyfall bits so I can get the jacket on.
3:00 Benito Skinner? You had this jacket and then you were carrying, like, a tote bag. It's to my left. I can't wait to rummage through it. And I said, whoa, Daniel Craig arriving at, now the joke is Saltburn, because he was at that final party.
3:10 Speaker 02 Daniel Craig arriving at Saltburn.
3:13 Mary Beth Barone? Daniel Craig's team.
3:14 Benito Skinner? Tell me he didn't pull up to Saltburn and say, who the fuck is that new guy?
3:20 Speaker 02 He was there. He just didn't make the car.
3:23 Mary Beth Barone? No, he said, I do the clay. There's been a murder.
3:27 Benito Skinner? There's been a murder. Do you understand that we've got a new one coming and I cannot wait? Benoit is back.
3:33 Mary Beth Barone? Well, you know, they say, what, his name is Benoit Blanc?
3:36 Benito Skinner? Sweetie, that's my full name. Yeah, Benoit.
3:39 Speaker 02 You know what his name is?
3:40 Mary Beth Barone? Benito Blanc, but it's, Benoit is an anagram for Benito. That's what they figured out on the Reddit.
3:46 Benito Skinner? It's like Tom Riddle, Turf Hogwarts.
3:48 Mary Beth Barone? It's Tom Riddle.
3:49 Benito Skinner? I am, oh my god, all that. It's so crazy. I know all the, like, Hogwarts. Someone the other night was like, what's that, what's the newspaper in Harry Potter called? And I said, The Quibbler. And I'm like, oh, Virgin.
4:00 Mary Beth Barone? Never had sex the day in his life.
4:01 Benito Skinner? Never had sex the day in his life.
4:02 Mary Beth Barone? I would love to see Benoit Blanc arriving at Saltburn and it's just an hour, it's a two-hander, ninety minutes of Barry Keoghan's character and Benoit just trying to solve who did it. But like Benoit knows the whole time that Barry Keoghan killed all those fucking people.
4:16 Benito Skinner? Well, of course, it's very Frosty Nixon. Do you know what I mean?
4:20 Mary Beth Barone? I have not seen that.
4:21 Benito Skinner? Oh, but it's that, a marriage story and it's very much Benoit Blanc and Barry Keoghan.
4:27 Mary Beth Barone? It's his toughest case yet. There's only one suspect and he did it.
4:30 Benito Skinner? This Ben is here a couple of murders. But, okay, so you're so, you're so Bond showing up because that jacket is so sexy on you.
4:38 Speaker 02 And it's done up to the top and I've insisted on doing it up to the top.
4:41 Benito Skinner? Of course, I want you to shoot a musket at us.
4:42 Mary Beth Barone? I'm drinking electrolytes.
4:43 Speaker 02 I could do that.
4:44 Mary Beth Barone? Because the city ravages me from inside out.
4:46 Benito Skinner? Sweetie, you know this city gave me Covid.
4:50 Mary Beth Barone? Benny's Covid narrative, I'm actually not responding to it anymore because it's a bunch of crap. It's a bunch of heat.
4:55 Benito Skinner? I know exactly how I feel when I have Covid.
4:57 Speaker 02 Well, yesterday, yesterday you told me you had Covid for one calendar day.
5:00 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, so, yeah.
5:02 Speaker 02 And you were like, it was one calendar day.
5:05 Benito Skinner? See, Brits love calling bullshit, huh?
5:08 Mary Beth Barone? Well, when we got to the, this was a great line that we, we had a meeting with GQ, Adam at GQ and Eamon, who we absolutely ride for.
5:14 Benito Skinner? British GQ like ride to Valhalla.
5:17 Mary Beth Barone? And they were like, you know, your opening speech, they said it's both meaner than we thought and funnier than we ever thought it could be. And they said, we love how much,
5:26 Mary Beth Barone? I shouldn't say it actually.
5:27 Speaker 02 It's kind of back, do you find that backhanded?
5:29 Mary Beth Barone? No.
5:30 Speaker 02 And maybe not funnier than we, than we would have.
5:32 Mary Beth Barone? No, because it was just like beyond anyone's wildest dreams.
5:34 Speaker 02 Okay, perfect, okay.
5:35 Benito Skinner? An award show.
5:35 Speaker 02 You guys, Americans always see the positives and I think that's.
5:38 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, of course.
5:38 Benito Skinner? Yeah, no, I, I wasn't offended at all. Sometimes the, the only thing that offends me sometimes like is when someone's like, I watched your show and it like, it was good.
5:46 Mary Beth Barone? But that's, that's, we should be used to that by now.
5:48 Speaker 02 It was actually good.
5:49 Benito Skinner? Of course I'm used to it by now. I take it and say, I go, thank you.
5:52 Speaker 02 Well, I did watch your show and it was good.
5:54 Mary Beth Barone? Thanks.
5:55 Benito Skinner? What'd you think during it? Were you like, that's so crazy that like I've seen Hole on both of them?
6:00 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah, that was all I was thinking.
6:02 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, all eight episodes, you're just thinking about Hole?
6:04 Speaker 02 I watched some of it get filmed. We were like, we were minutes away from breaking up and I did a set visit and just like.
6:11 Mary Beth Barone? Our last, our last hurrah.
6:12 Speaker 02 Our last hurrah.
6:13 Benito Skinner? Oh, I remember when I almost ladybirded out of the car on the way back from Muskoka.
6:16 Speaker 02 Oh, yeah.
6:17 Benito Skinner? I remember it like it was yesterday.
6:19 Speaker 02 We had to formally announce you, we formally announced that like, I think, I think it's up. I think it's done.
6:25 Benito Skinner? You said that to me on the way back from a cabin trip while we were listening to Sabrina Carpenter.
6:29 Speaker 02 Yeah.
6:29 Benito Skinner? So every time I hear that album, I think divorce, babes.
6:32 Speaker 02 Well, the album had just dropped, of course. It was a huge, it was a huge time for that album.
6:36 Benito Skinner? It was short and sweet era.
6:37 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, that was tough. That was a tough weekend trip.
6:40 Benito Skinner? I had so many good photos of me and Edward too, that I couldn't really post because I knew what was coming.
6:44 Speaker 02 Really good ones of us on that pier.
6:46 Benito Skinner? You got one of me that kind of has like, it's like Bush is almost there, but in like a very like.
6:50 Speaker 02 Your body's in great. I've got tons of pictures of your body on my phone.
6:53 Benito Skinner? Thank you, sweetie. And same.
6:55 Speaker 02 Yeah.
6:55 Benito Skinner? Same. I have nudes of you, I think.
6:58 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, I'm sure you do.
6:59 Benito Skinner? Of my Lady Jane's Edward, Edward Bluemel. Is it Bluemel or Bluemel?
7:03 Speaker 02 You can say however you want.
7:04 Benito Skinner? I say Bluemel, but.
7:05 Speaker 02 Yeah, and I'm happy with that. I say Blue Mel.
7:08 Benito Skinner? Blue Mel.
7:09 Speaker 02 Well, yeah, but it doesn't matter, does it?
7:10 Benito Skinner? Are you actors? Always gotta add some flourish, huh?
7:15 Benito Skinner? So I had this bit last night when they were talking in the room, eating dinner and I just, it was like the most fun I've ever had in my life because I, I kept ordering so much room service.
7:25 Mary Beth Barone? Benny, keep in mind.
7:26 Speaker 02 I've got a photo of you with, with, with like truly like six drinks in front of me.
7:30 Benito Skinner? I was lonely.
7:31 Mary Beth Barone? Benny, okay, Benny's been mad at me since I got upgraded to a suite at our hotel and the way he's enacting that his revenge is by putting thousands of dollars of room service on my room. So he ordered 12 drinks yesterday for breakfast.
7:44 Speaker 02 One of which, by the way, was a carrot juice. I'm sorry. I didn't know carrot juice was a thing.
7:48 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, well, it is for gay guys.
7:50 Speaker 02 You can't like milk a carrot.
7:51 Mary Beth Barone? No, it is for gay guys.
7:52 Benito Skinner? You can milk a carrot, baby, let me tell you.
7:57 Benito Skinner? You can't milk a carrot? What have I been doing all week? Here's the thing, you can milk a fucking carrot. And the best part about carrot juice, sorry, the Lem sip is hitting, so I'm feeling incredible, is it makes you tanner.
8:11 Speaker 02 Carrot juice?
8:12 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
8:13 Speaker 02 And that's what's been doing this?
8:14 Benito Skinner? My dad on his Atkins shit was juicing carrots like every day, he was so into juicing. He was having so many carrots, it would be like the middle of December and I'm like, you're kind of giving like beach.
8:24 Mary Beth Barone? You're giving Jude Law on the holiday.
8:25 Benito Skinner? Jude Law on the holiday.
8:26 Mary Beth Barone? In the interior scenes.
8:27 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
8:27 Speaker 02 Oh yeah, when he kisses her on the eyelids.
8:30 Mary Beth Barone? Don't talk about stuff like that.
8:31 Benito Skinner? Would you have laughed at Mr. Napkinhead as a kid? Cause I would.
8:35 Speaker 02 I don't know.
8:36 Mary Beth Barone? We were debating if that bit would go down really that well.
8:39 Benito Skinner? I would have looked him up and gone, mm-mm.
8:42 Speaker 02 Yeah.
8:43 Mary Beth Barone? I go, is that all you got?
8:44 Benito Skinner? Cameron Diaz goes, that's not funny.
8:46 Mary Beth Barone? So I didn't like that.
8:48 Benito Skinner? And I'm not gonna be a mother to y'all.
8:49 Mary Beth Barone? Y'all heard of the egg?
8:51 Speaker 02 Yeah, I think I was more of a punchline kid. I wanted a punchline.
8:54 Mary Beth Barone? Of course, yeah. Yeah, that makes sense.
8:56 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
8:57 Mary Beth Barone? Less, yeah, I totally agree. Less physical bits.
8:59 Speaker 02 Mr. Napkinhead not for me.
9:01 Benito Skinner? Love this sweater too.
9:02 Speaker 02 Oh, thank you.
9:03 Mary Beth Barone? It's women's, right?
9:05 Benito Skinner? I feel like I was really there when you came into your style.
9:07 Speaker 02 Yeah.
9:08 Mary Beth Barone? Shopping is actually what broke us up. I just want to say that on the record.
9:12 Speaker 02 Okay, hold on.
9:12 Mary Beth Barone? I guess let's talk about the leather jacket thing.
9:14 Benito Skinner? When I showed him Grailed.
9:16 Mary Beth Barone? Don't talk about it.
9:16 Speaker 02 When you showed me Grailed, you opened the door that.
9:19 Mary Beth Barone? Edward, Edward.
9:20 Speaker 02 Honey, I've never been able to close it.
9:21 Benito Skinner? Welcome to Narnia.
9:22 Mary Beth Barone? Cause you blame me, you blame me for being into clothes and then.
9:26 Speaker 02 You introduced me to Amy Leon Door.
9:28 Mary Beth Barone? I don't think I did.
9:29 Speaker 02 Which is a hate crime to introduce a boy to that shop.
9:31 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
9:32 Benito Skinner? Oh, you give a straight guy that store. Oh, you guys love that they parked a Porsche in there.
9:36 Mary Beth Barone? How'd they get it in?
9:36 Speaker 02 But how did they get the Porsche in?
9:38 Benito Skinner? How did they get the Porsche in?
9:40 Mary Beth Barone? I gotta see the Porsche at the Amy Leon Door store.
9:43 Benito Skinner? The gym I go to in New York is right by it. And the smoothie place I go to after the gym. So again, these are these stories and it's a reason I have a podcast.
9:51 Mary Beth Barone? Can't get enough of.
9:52 Benito Skinner? It's why I'm a writer.
9:53 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
9:54 Benito Skinner? The line is like at nine AM is insane of people just taking photos and they're like taking photos through the window of the Porsche.
10:00 Speaker 02 Was this when the Porsche was in there?
10:02 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
10:03 Mary Beth Barone? Well, now they have a boat.
10:04 Speaker 02 It's a crazy.
10:04 Mary Beth Barone? But your shopping definitely came between us. It was sort of the third person in our relationship.
10:08 Speaker 02 I don't think it was really me, but it wasn't me specific. That makes it sound like I was like a shopper, a buyer.
10:13 Mary Beth Barone? No, it wasn't actually buying. It was shopping, window shopping.
10:17 Benito Skinner? See, that's the thing you guys.
10:18 Speaker 02 Because you guys are results based. You always have been. It's like you want something, you buy it.
10:21 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah. How much? But how long were you looking for a leather jacket?
10:24 Speaker 02 The leather jacket was like, it's great to be able to be able to like formally apologize publicly for that. But the leather jacket was really traumatizing.
10:30 Benito Skinner? And have we worn it that much?
10:32 Speaker 02 It looks dog shit.
10:35 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
10:35 Speaker 02 It looks bad. I wore it to an event. I got photographed and I looked, I looked like, like a pervert.
10:41 Mary Beth Barone? All that time?
10:42 Speaker 02 Like all that time. And I showed up and I, I saw the pictures and I went, it's over babe.
10:47 Mary Beth Barone? The man hours of finding that jacket and then you finally ordered it and you didn't like it.
10:51 Speaker 02 And it was too small, but I was too proud to send it back because I.
10:54 Benito Skinner? Always too small.
10:55 Speaker 02 I dragged Mary Beth.
10:56 Mary Beth Barone? Cause I went to war for that fucking jacket.
10:59 Benito Skinner? God, you know what's so sad? The one that I found that I really liked, I had to send it back because it was, well, I wore it when I went to, so Edward, I've done a lot since I've last seen you. I was at Harvard Business School, speaking to the students there. And Polo sent me this jacket and I had to give it back. It was, it was on loan and it was the one leather jacket that I was kind of like, I think I'm kind of eaten down in this.
11:19 Mary Beth Barone? You can always buy it, right?
11:21 Benito Skinner? Yeah, it's true. Hey, thank you.
11:22 Speaker 02 And, and you know what's great is that if Benny liked it, he would just buy it.
11:25 Mary Beth Barone? Exactly.
11:25 Benito Skinner? I would, and it wouldn't take so long.
11:27 Speaker 02 Talk about it for a thousand years.
11:28 Benito Skinner? Did I go, I went shopping with you, Court and Adam and Rich? Or is that wrong?
11:33 Speaker 02 So, yeah, there was like one nice shop in Toronto that had a few, it had, you know, some pretty nice stuff.
11:38 Benito Skinner? It was great. It is amazing though, when I'm in there and I tell someone to buy something, they will. I'm kind of like.
11:44 Speaker 02 If you told me to buy it, yeah.
11:46 Benito Skinner? Weapons in that way.
11:47 Speaker 02 Yeah.
11:48 Benito Skinner? I'm kind of like, I break the twig.
11:49 Mary Beth Barone? He doesn't watch horror.
11:49 Benito Skinner? I break the twig and, and the guys buy the shirt.
11:52 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
11:52 Speaker 02 Yeah, I will. I've read the blog.
11:54 Benito Skinner? I appreciate the thoughtfulness, but it's shocking to me. I'm like, there's just so much more to do today. Like I haven't had a boba tea.
11:59 Mary Beth Barone? No, I know. Also, it's like we could be gunned down at any moment. So buy the dress.
12:04 Benito Skinner? Maybe not in Toronto, but.
12:05 Mary Beth Barone? Not in Toronto, but.
12:06 Benito Skinner? Yeah, but buy, buy the dress.
12:07 Mary Beth Barone? Please.
12:08 Benito Skinner? Also, I'm just like, come on. Dude.
12:11 Speaker 02 Just, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
12:13 Benito Skinner? No, you're actually not that bad.
12:14 Speaker 02 I've bought some things, but it did, it came between us.
12:17 Benito Skinner? That's what today's about.
12:18 Speaker 02 That's what it's all about.
12:18 Benito Skinner? The door's locked, by the way.
12:19 Speaker 02 And today, we're gonna sort it out.
12:20 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, we're gonna, we're gonna talk, we're gonna leave it all.
12:23 Speaker 02 We're not gonna leave this room until we're back together.
12:25 Benito Skinner? Exactly. Don't tease me like that.
12:27 Speaker 02 Don't, sorry, it's a joke, just a funny.
12:29 Benito Skinner? I'm a kid who's been traumatized after going to Muskoka. It's Muskoka, right?
12:32 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
12:33 Benito Skinner? That's crazy that today it's landing, because I've forgotten the name of it.
12:36 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
12:36 Benito Skinner? Every other day in my life.
12:37 Speaker 02 I, I thought, I thought, when we were in that cabin, I just thought Mary Beth was just like a bit sad about like, just like, life in general, and it took so long for the penny to drop that she was just.
12:46 Mary Beth Barone? That is not true.
12:47 Speaker 02 Desperate to break up with me.
12:48 Mary Beth Barone? No, that's not true. We had been having very difficult conversations.
12:52 Benito Skinner? Meanwhile, I'm on a.
12:53 Speaker 02 I was like, do you not like the cabin?
12:54 Mary Beth Barone? No, I didn't, I didn't.
12:56 Benito Skinner? I'm on the trampoline with Wally, eating like smores ice cream. Like, I am completely a kid who has no idea this is happening.
13:01 Speaker 02 Marriage story inside. We were, we were like, we were sorting it, we were going through it.
13:05 Mary Beth Barone? That was not a cabin, it was a mansion. I'm so sick of the revisionist history. Because Wally said we went camping.
13:11 Benito Skinner? Do you know that two things can be true?
13:12 Mary Beth Barone? Wally said we went camping.
13:13 Speaker 02 It was the biggest house I've ever been in.
13:14 Mary Beth Barone? And then now you're calling it a cabin. It was a mansion. It had 12 bedrooms.
13:18 Benito Skinner? A cabin can't be a mansion?
13:19 Mary Beth Barone? I don't think a cabin can be a mansion. Barone's fact-checking me on that.
13:22 Benito Skinner? What about, it, it was like a Lincoln log mansion.
13:25 Mary Beth Barone? A Lincoln log mansion, thank you.
13:26 Benito Skinner? And to come at me like this.
13:28 Mary Beth Barone? No, I was coming at him.
13:29 Speaker 02 People love, and that's okay.
13:31 Mary Beth Barone? You weren't coming at him, you were coming at me. No, I wasn't. Sometimes that's happened in the past year. No.
13:36 Speaker 02 It looked like when people make like, my Instagram algorithm always hits me with like, chill houses that are made from AI.
13:42 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
13:42 Speaker 02 And it looked like one of them.
13:43 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
13:44 Speaker 02 Like a huge cabin that was like, imagine living here, and it's like clearly AI, but that was the real one.
13:49 Benito Skinner? Sweetie, it was impressive.
13:50 Mary Beth Barone? I loved the outside.
13:51 Speaker 02 A huge house made of wood.
13:53 Mary Beth Barone? But also, it wasn't fenced in, so like, I was on Pinky Watch the whole weekend, which was very stressful. And then, of course, yeah, we, but we ended up extending your trip. It wasn't like all doom and gloom. But we knew that when you left, we were gonna be broken up.
14:04 Speaker 02 That's why we extended the trip. We said, what's three more days, baby?
14:07 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, and the grand scheme.
14:08 Speaker 02 What's three more days?
14:09 Mary Beth Barone? What's three more days in the grand scheme?
14:10 Benito Skinner? Imagine how that felt for me. I still have to lead a production. I lose a daddy, I lose a brother. But actually didn't, because today is also, I'm secretly writing for the importance of being earnest. And what I want to say, not the play.
14:24 Speaker 02 No, no, not the.
14:25 Mary Beth Barone? It's a book, isn't it?
14:26 Benito Skinner? It's, it's everything.
14:27 Mary Beth Barone? It's everything.
14:28 Benito Skinner? Eddie, I never stopped loving you.
14:30 Speaker 02 Never stopped loving you.
14:31 Benito Skinner? That's my boy.
14:32 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, fine. Fine, it's a play.
14:34 Benito Skinner? It's been really sweet. I always knew when it was appropriate. Yeah, sometimes we would just, I would just be like, as a treat, I think I can message him about this one. Yeah, and during the show, and, oh. That's very sweet. He calls me on my birthday.
14:45 Mary Beth Barone? Really?
14:46 Benito Skinner? Yeah. For two hours.
14:47 Mary Beth Barone? No, this year?
14:48 Benito Skinner? I got texts, yeah. We just chat, and we just, and we just chatted out. Right after you broke up, I remember, yeah, on my birthday, I got a text.
14:54 Mary Beth Barone? My stomach's making noise. If the mic's picking that up, I'm sorry.
14:57 Benito Skinner? Put the mic to the stomach.
14:58 Mary Beth Barone? I'm drinking electrolytes.
14:59 Benito Skinner? A little ultrasound. Yeah.
15:01 Mary Beth Barone? We have something big to announce. I felt it, Ken. I felt it, Ken. Oh, God.
15:06 Benito Skinner? A little blooming.
15:08 Mary Beth Barone? If I have kids, I have to do it alone, because I'll be such a nasty bitch to my partner. I'll just like, no, we don't do it like that. You're not doing it right. Just, just let me do it. Like, can't you just picture me saying that?
15:20 Benito Skinner? So you're missing this, or what, man?
15:22 Mary Beth Barone? I certainly can.
15:24 Mary Beth Barone? Whatever. I taught you a lot.
15:26 Benito Skinner? I do love how much girls boss around their boyfriends. It's not that I don't think the boyfriends deserve it, but I love watching it.
15:31 Mary Beth Barone? But we're paying a hefty cost for that.
15:32 Benito Skinner? It's unbelievable, because in a gay relationship, it'd be like, I'm not doing that.
15:35 Mary Beth Barone? Right. I just think that I like being bossy. I think straight men don't like it. So then it's like, you're fighting about being bossy, but like, I'm still gonna tell you what to do and how to do it.
15:43 Benito Skinner? Yeah. I've watched women be like, go get me a bacon, egg, and cheese right now. And the guy's like, hell, yeah. If he's good.
15:50 Mary Beth Barone? This was a huge problem in our relationship.
15:53 Benito Skinner? It was, actually.
15:53 Mary Beth Barone? Which we talked about a lot.
15:54 Benito Skinner? We did talk about it.
15:55 Mary Beth Barone? His friends picked up on-
15:56 Benito Skinner? What else could I bring up to start a fight, Jimmy?
15:58 Mary Beth Barone? His friends picked up on the fact that I would be like, can you get me a water? And they're like, she's too controlling. One of them was a girl, too, who said that. Because one time-
16:08 Benito Skinner? I'd watch out for that girl. She wants into those knickers.
16:18 Mary Beth Barone? Watch the mic.
16:21 Mary Beth Barone? Well, Pinky's getting a little feisty because she knew that it was time for the third love ad, and she just wanted to chime-
16:26 Benito Skinner? What does your bra not fit, Pinky?
16:28 Mary Beth Barone? She wanted to chime in. Well, you know, she's brawny, chesty.

21:12 Benito Skinner? I love you, Mary Beth.
21:14 Mary Beth Barone? I love you too. So, one time on New Year's Day, we were all extremely hungover.
21:19 Speaker 02 Yes.
21:20 Mary Beth Barone? Yes, we had had a crazy night the night before. We had a party there at the house. And I was anxious. We were all anxious. We were on a come down. And Edward was literally, would not put his phone down, to the point where I was like, I would sometimes grab it and put it face down.
21:32 Speaker 02 You were anxious and I was on a come down.
21:34 Mary Beth Barone? You should have been looking at me.
21:35 Speaker 02 Yeah, we are, yeah.
21:36 Mary Beth Barone? Stop scrolling and look at your girlfriend. And then a girl the next day was like, I think she's like, I think she's like too controlling.
21:43 Speaker 02 I need to find out who this woman is. She sounds like an actress.
21:46 Benito Skinner? We can, we can.
21:47 Mary Beth Barone? Not an actress. I'll tell you later.
21:48 Speaker 02 Tell me after. Well, I'll find out about it.
21:50 Mary Beth Barone? But what people don't know is that me and Edward, we tell each other everything, still to this day.
21:55 Speaker 02 Still to this day.
21:55 Mary Beth Barone? So I heard that feedback.
21:57 Benito Skinner? Me the other night to Edward at GQ Man of the Year, I go, polo one. I still, polo one is his set.
22:03 Mary Beth Barone? Do you think I was controlling in our relationship?
22:05 Speaker 02 No.
22:06 Mary Beth Barone? Looking back now.
22:07 Speaker 02 Yeah.
22:08 Benito Skinner? I've been tricked into something so crazy.
22:10 Mary Beth Barone? You've been tricked? No, this is fun.
22:13 Speaker 02 I've been tricked.
22:14 Mary Beth Barone? This is fun. This is like dinner theater.
22:15 Speaker 02 No.
22:16 Mary Beth Barone? What were you saying yesterday? I said the DVR.
22:19 Benito Skinner? I never got to say my bit.
22:20 Speaker 02 Yeah.
22:21 Benito Skinner? It was me with all the room service. I had a huge hash brown on a fork with ketchup, because I found it next to your bedside, because that's my girl. I knew that she, I literally knew she'd have ketchup on her bedside table. It was the most insane thing I've ever experienced.
22:34 Speaker 02 You went there to look for it with no hesitation, no weirdness. You were just like, I need ketchup with this and went to the bedside table.
22:40 Benito Skinner? I go, there's no ketchup. Give me two seconds. And then I walked into the bedroom. It was next to her bed by her phone. And I went, I know this woman in a way that's clinical. It's disgusting. So I dipped the hash brown in the ketchup and I said, I don't need what's ever gonna be on the telly. I got the BBC right here. And it was you guys talking.
22:59 Speaker 02 We were arguing about something, maybe.
23:02 Benito Skinner? No, no, no, it was like.
23:03 Mary Beth Barone? We were just having fun. We were ribbing each other lately.
23:06 Speaker 02 Oh, that's nice.
23:07 Benito Skinner? You guys don't, your arguments are very chill and relaxed.
23:09 Mary Beth Barone? Well, now, well, we acknowledged that we were the worst couple in the world.
23:12 Speaker 02 We wanted to come on the pod and say, like, come out as the worst couple of all time.
23:17 Benito Skinner? I don't think that's true because I don't, we, we never got a front row seat to Epstein and Ghislaine's vibe. They had to have been worse.
23:23 Mary Beth Barone? That's true, okay.
23:25 Benito Skinner? Do I think she rode for him?
23:26 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, I think they got along well, though. They just did a lot of damage.
23:30 Benito Skinner? I do not.
23:30 Mary Beth Barone? They were twin flames. I mean, they, they were, and I, they were lucky to find each other. They were lucky to find each other.
23:36 Benito Skinner? It's so funny you say that because sometimes when people say like, match your freak, I think of them.
23:40 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
23:41 Benito Skinner? Cause I think there was a meme a long time ago of them of like, nah, I don't know if it's always good. Genuinely in their bag.
23:47 Speaker 02 In their bag.
23:48 Mary Beth Barone? Being each other's biggest flex.
23:49 Benito Skinner? Oh my god, it's sick.
23:52 Mary Beth Barone? But, no, I'm saying the rest of the world was unlucky because they met, but the two of them together, I mean, pitching that to someone and then just going, what? No, they found each other.
24:02 Benito Skinner? Okay, so I guess we've come to the conclusion that you guys are a worse couple.
24:06 Mary Beth Barone? We're a worse couple than Epstein and Ghislaine.
24:07 Speaker 02 Well, we are the number one worst couple of all time.
24:10 Benito Skinner? I don't agree with that. I've seen much worse, but if you guys want to believe it for your own.
24:13 Speaker 02 You know, it's my personal sort of like, where it is a badge and I think someone's gonna do it and we'll take that.
24:17 Mary Beth Barone? It was behind closed doors. It was where bad stuff was happening.
24:19 Speaker 02 We sucked ass.
24:21 Mary Beth Barone? We fought so much.
24:22 Benito Skinner? We had so much fun with you on tour.
24:24 Mary Beth Barone? When it was good, it was good. And when it was bad, it was so bad.
24:26 Benito Skinner? Yeah, it was crazy. Going to diners with you, going to movies.
24:28 Mary Beth Barone? Permanent damage to my nervous system.
24:30 Speaker 02 Are we gonna keep that in?
24:32 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
24:32 Speaker 02 That I gave you permanent damage to your nervous system?
24:34 Mary Beth Barone? No, you didn't. You didn't. Our relationship did. Our relationship did permanent damage to my nervous system.
24:39 Speaker 02 And that was both of us.
24:40 Benito Skinner? And you were, I mean, I will say.
24:41 Speaker 02 It was fifty fifty.
24:42 Mary Beth Barone? It was the alchemy of the date, us dating.
24:44 Benito Skinner? I can't imagine how much you guys were on your phones.
24:47 Mary Beth Barone? Yes, you can. You were there and it was so bad. I was constantly texting, FaceTiming. I wouldn't go out with friends because I would just want to FaceTime and text, you know?
24:56 Speaker 02 When someone FaceTimes me now, I go into fight or flight.
24:59 Mary Beth Barone? It's definitely.
25:00 Speaker 02 The hairs on the back of my neck.
25:02 Mary Beth Barone? But I did long distance after us. That's what people don't realize.
25:05 Benito Skinner? Jimmy and I both have to shit so badly.
25:07 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, you can't. Go in the corner by the guitar.
25:10 Benito Skinner? I'll go in the studio with the guitar.
25:12 Mary Beth Barone? I did back to back long distance. Nearly killed me.
25:15 Speaker 02 Yeah, that was wild for me to go from.
25:18 Mary Beth Barone? But I told the person I won't do long distance again. And so then, well, he was like, okay, I'll move to New York.
25:22 Speaker 02 Something I never even.
25:23 Mary Beth Barone? Something he never uttered the words of. But then it was like, oh, well, so that hasn't end, the long distance hasn't ended because we're gonna move in together July 1st. And then that didn't happen, obviously.
25:33 Speaker 02 And how did that turn out?
25:34 Mary Beth Barone? And that didn't work out so well.
25:36 Benito Skinner? So that was kind of not the one.
25:37 Mary Beth Barone? So I know who Teddy's gonna get next.
25:41 Benito Skinner? Teddy's got her eye on someone.
25:44 Speaker 02 It's crazy now that we're sort of XXs, which I think does change something somehow.
25:49 Mary Beth Barone? Thank you for saying that.
25:50 Speaker 02 And XX is like a whole different thing.
25:52 Mary Beth Barone? If I'm talking about Edward, I'll say Edward. If I'm talking about the guy I did after Edward, I say my ex because we never revealed his identity.
25:58 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
25:58 Mary Beth Barone? But I will always say if it's Edward. So there's no conspiracy theories. And the person that dumped me that I announced on Seth Meyers was not Edward.
26:06 Speaker 02 Oh, yeah, I did get some DMs about that.
26:08 Benito Skinner? I know.
26:08 Speaker 02 But you know what?
26:09 Benito Skinner? We brought you in here to.
26:10 Speaker 02 It's just how we didn't know I'm in the conversation.
26:11 Benito Skinner? Of course. You know what? We brought you here to clear your name in a lot of ways.
26:15 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
26:16 Benito Skinner? And I get that sometimes when people are like, when you were at the overcompensating party, I remember someone was like, oh, Edward's here. And I was like, yeah, so that's my brother.
26:25 Mary Beth Barone? That's my guy.
26:26 Speaker 02 And also, like, you think I would rock up to that without?
26:29 Mary Beth Barone? If you guys were not on good terms.
26:30 Speaker 02 If we were on good terms, I'm like, I'm coming. You go, oh.
26:33 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
26:34 Speaker 02 Congrats on the show.
26:35 Benito Skinner? Yeah, it would be kind of funny.
26:36 Speaker 02 Shame if someone made a scene tonight.
26:38 Mary Beth Barone? It's actually good.
26:40 Benito Skinner? Those were my girls.
26:41 Mary Beth Barone? You won Fumble of the Year 2024.
26:43 Speaker 02 I won Fumble of the Year 2024.
26:44 Mary Beth Barone? What's it called? Your successor, who we have never named, won Fumble of the Year for this year. Early on, too, April.
26:51 Benito Skinner? Yeah, there were a few people who won in.
26:53 Speaker 02 He put in a huge 25.
26:54 Mary Beth Barone? I didn't want to put anyone else on.
26:55 Speaker 02 He put in a huge ship, yeah.
26:57 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, he, he kind of said.
26:58 Speaker 02 It was a big early statement from him.
26:59 Mary Beth Barone? I'm going for Fumble of the Decade.
27:01 Speaker 02 Currently on your Instagram, I don't know if it's the same person who comments it, but someone comments every time. Imagine fumbling Mary Beth Barone.
27:08 Mary Beth Barone? Because that was a tweet.
27:09 Speaker 02 And I want to like it every time.
27:10 Mary Beth Barone? That was a tweet.
27:10 Speaker 02 I go, I don't have to imagine.
27:12 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, you did it. You did that.
27:13 Speaker 02 I live it every fucking day. This is my life.
27:17 Benito Skinner? But you fumbled it with flair.
27:19 Mary Beth Barone? You fumbled it with flair.
27:20 Speaker 02 You fumbled it with flair. Look, if you're gonna fumble it, yeah, you know.
27:24 Benito Skinner? What do you miss most about me?
27:27 Speaker 02 I do miss being on tour with you. You once created an era that I feel like, don't break my heart, but I feel like was just for me.
27:33 Benito Skinner? It was just for you. They all are.
27:36 Speaker 02 There was an era that you hate and still hate.
27:38 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, God, are you gonna do it right now?
27:40 Benito Skinner? Big wheels keep on turning. I gotta keep that pussy squared. And we rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling on the river. Cause we were in the car, so I needed to come up with a car ditty and it needed to appeal to a straight man. So I assumed a squirt joke would do it.
27:57 Speaker 02 You hit every button, bang on. It's, it's lived, you know, it's gone through my head a lot of times since.
28:03 Benito Skinner? This has tickled me every part of. You guys gotta figure that out.
28:06 Speaker 02 I miss, I miss the sort of bespoke eras. I miss going around sort of towns in America that I would never go to otherwise.
28:12 Mary Beth Barone? Buying blazers at thrift shops.
28:14 Speaker 02 With the two of you, me, of course, buying things, me talking about clothes a lot.
28:18 Benito Skinner? I love going to thrift stores.
28:20 Speaker 02 You would send, you would sort of send me into the wilderness on the day, cause you, I mean, you had jobs.
28:24 Mary Beth Barone? Right, we were working, we were fully, heavily working.
28:27 Speaker 02 You were fully, heavily working and I.
28:28 Benito Skinner? You were a struggling actor.
28:29 Mary Beth Barone? We were building an empire.
28:31 Benito Skinner? You were a struggling actor. You had to turn to the stage, things were going so bad.
28:40 Speaker 02 I lost my hat, I've got hot hair.
28:41 Mary Beth Barone? Shit, shit. Wait, what do you miss least about dating me?
28:44 Speaker 02 What do I miss least?
28:45 Benito Skinner? He was just getting through the list of me.
28:47 Speaker 02 Whoa. What do I miss least about dating you? The distance. That's a nice, that's a nice thing to say, isn't it?
28:55 Benito Skinner? No, that's a great answer.
28:55 Speaker 02 I'm not gonna be mean to, I'm, I'm not gonna like.
28:57 Benito Skinner? Can you let my boy speak for once? Jesus fucking Christ. Take it out on me later.
29:03 Mary Beth Barone? I will.
29:03 Benito Skinner? I know.
29:05 Speaker 02 No, that is what I miss the least out of it, is going out with someone. It's crazy when the person that you love is on the other side of the world for three months. And you're like, what's the point in any of this?
29:14 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, it's really hard.
29:15 Benito Skinner? Isn't it crazy missing us? Missing us, like, I've heard it's a jog on like any other that you, once you don't have it, it's.
29:20 Speaker 02 And I just put, I just put in a 12 month shift.
29:23 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, yeah, cuz we haven't really seen each other.
29:26 Benito Skinner? Yeah, I've seen you more than her.
29:27 Speaker 02 Yeah, I've seen you. Yeah.
29:28 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, that's true.
29:29 Speaker 02 She has you. The overcompensating party.
29:31 Benito Skinner? Who'd you love?
29:32 Speaker 02 At.
29:33 Benito Skinner? Stormzy's house party.
29:34 Speaker 02 Party.
29:35 Benito Skinner? Baby love. Funny, I keep asking people, I'm like, yeah, that probably was crazy watching us. And they're like, not at all.
29:41 Mary Beth Barone? No, it's fine. My mom goes, I can separate the art from the artist.
29:44 Benito Skinner? You know what?
29:45 Speaker 02 Mary.
29:45 Benito Skinner? Did too. My, I told you my mom's thing. She was like, you with a woman was weirder to me than you with guys. And I'm like, that kills me.
29:52 Mary Beth Barone? My mom said, well, they weren't your boobs. They were the character's boobs. I keep telling people.
29:56 Speaker 02 See, that's.
29:56 Benito Skinner? Oh, my God.
29:57 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
29:58 Benito Skinner? She goes, Benny Drama made her do it.
30:00 Mary Beth Barone? She said, that fucking perverted freak.
30:02 Benito Skinner? You know what? Yeah, we're all adults.
30:04 Speaker 02 But in season two, are you gonna push the boundaries? Are you gonna shock me?
30:09 Benito Skinner? If you're asking if I'm showing Bush, Edward will see. Yeah, I love it. College is naked. It should be. College is sexy and naked and awkward and sad. And it's all in there. Yeah. It is like, I've never tried to force it into scenes, but if it felt like it would be like someone was honestly naked. And that was something with Mary Beth that I really loved, like in our conversations about it. Because these were conversations. I didn't just make her get naked, but that she would be naked in bed with her boyfriend here. She would not have like a bra on, like.
30:37 Speaker 02 Yeah, you're like, so if you respect the character, you'll get your tits out.
30:41 Mary Beth Barone? Exactly.
30:41 Speaker 02 You'll do it.
30:42 Mary Beth Barone? And I said, I'm sorry, I don't need your nudity, writer.
30:45 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah.
30:46 Benito Skinner? I don't care.
30:47 Speaker 02 You said, there are so many actresses who'll do this.
30:49 Mary Beth Barone? Who would kill for this job.
30:50 Speaker 02 There's so many.
30:51 Benito Skinner? Anybody. I could do myself.
30:54 Speaker 02 They'll do it.
30:54 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
30:55 Speaker 02 They'll do it for free.
30:56 Mary Beth Barone? Daddy would.
30:56 Benito Skinner? Daddy would love.
30:57 Mary Beth Barone? Daddy's our intimacy coordinator for season two.
31:00 Benito Skinner? Daddy is the intimacy coordinator. Yeah.
31:04 Mary Beth Barone? I can't wait to have her on set.
31:06 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
31:07 Mary Beth Barone? That night at the overcompensating party, that was my birthday. And all my best guys were not with me.
31:13 Speaker 02 I was very sad that you weren't there.
31:15 Benito Skinner? That was actually fucked up.
31:16 Speaker 02 I just looked at the posters around the room. It was like she's with us in, in sort of in spirit, I guess. I was wearing my slut slayer baby tee.
31:24 Benito Skinner? I know you look so cute, a grown woman in a little baby tee. And then, I don't know if you remember my look, Edward.
31:30 Speaker 02 Yeah, you were in like a sort of like, like Vivienne Westwood, torn up shirt and tie combo.
31:35 Benito Skinner? Thank you. It was a nod to British culture, but also, you know, what's interesting? The shirt was confusing to people because they thought I spilled the wine on it. But I just want to make it known here, it was 2013.
31:44 Mary Beth Barone? You said, check the runway image.
31:46 Benito Skinner? Check the runway image.
31:47 Speaker 02 And the, and the wine was there or it was, it was worn by someone else who spilled wine on it.
31:51 Mary Beth Barone? No, that was the designer.
31:52 Benito Skinner? That was the designer.
31:52 Speaker 02 That was the design.
31:53 Benito Skinner? That was from Vivienne.
31:54 Speaker 02 Clothes, and I've always said this, shh, don't, you know, I'm talking about clothes, but clothes tell a story.
31:59 Mary Beth Barone? And I have my ears.
32:00 Benito Skinner? And sweetie, I've been storytelling since I was a kid.
32:02 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
32:03 Benito Skinner? Okay, now come on. It was cute and I wore shorts and, which was like, you know.
32:07 Mary Beth Barone? That's different for you.
32:08 Benito Skinner? It was, it was crazy to wear shorts, but they were cute. They were really.
32:10 Speaker 02 They were, they were, they were really cute. We walked in and dare I say, the crowd went wild.
32:16 Benito Skinner? Don't even start.
32:17 Mary Beth Barone? Justin Bieber.
32:18 Benito Skinner? It's these Brits. I don't know what I do, but.
32:20 Speaker 02 It was like you were held back from the party. We were all there. We were having fun. We're having a good time. And then a hush descended. He's coming. He's arrived.
32:29 Benito Skinner? And you go, I've seen all of him.
32:32 Speaker 02 Yeah. And I, and I was getting very stressed out because I was like, I, I needed everybody to know that like, we had something special.
32:38 Benito Skinner? Well, and.
32:38 Speaker 02 So I was telling all of the influencers that were invited.
32:41 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
32:42 Speaker 02 I'm not one of you.
32:43 Benito Skinner? You saw my post. I mean, he was like.
32:44 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
32:45 Benito Skinner? You were like third slide, easy, maybe two.
32:47 Speaker 02 Yeah, I was third slide. And that was good because I think one thing that you, you two have always been nice to is you have told the Baronees that, you know.
32:53 Mary Beth Barone? Well, because our breakup was very respectful.
32:56 Speaker 02 Our breakup was very respectful.
32:57 Benito Skinner? I still see us at GQ, I remember I was talking, God, I love just talking about just GQ in general. But I was talking to you and I did see a few people stare at us as if there was, there was some like conversation happening. And instead, little did they know, I was talking to you and I was like, hello, one.
33:10 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
33:11 Mary Beth Barone? Well, you were getting interviewed by Denise Welch and I was so drunk and I just beelined for that. And I, I don't know why they gave me a microphone. I have no idea what I said.
33:19 Benito Skinner? Because how could they not?
33:20 Mary Beth Barone? That better not see the light of day ever.
33:21 Speaker 02 You were tottering around.
33:23 Mary Beth Barone? Edward was taking photos of us there and he said he got clocked by a few people.
33:27 Speaker 02 Some people just looked across the party and saw me sort of suspiciously taking photos of my ex-girlfriend from like quite a distance.
33:34 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah. Well, it's, it's your ex and her new guy.
33:37 Speaker 02 Yeah.
33:38 Benito Skinner? And Denise Wells.
33:39 Mary Beth Barone? And Denise Wells.
33:40 Benito Skinner? I love her so much. I knew you were gonna show up. She goes, where's Mary Beth? But it was so cold outside. I was like, well, we'll lose her.
33:46 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, I blew off the roof.
33:48 Benito Skinner? And we did.
33:49 Mary Beth Barone? I had to hold on to the thing and then they pulled me back on.
33:51 Benito Skinner? You were Wendy. You flew towards Big Ben.
33:55 Mary Beth Barone? But then you guys caught me. Peter!
34:00 Benito Skinner? Fuck, I should've showed up as Peter Pan. I did a bit the other day in my room.
34:05 Mary Beth Barone? Alone?
34:05 Benito Skinner? And it was so funny. I went, and Peter Pan with the thing, and the thing flew.
34:09 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, I love that.
34:10 Benito Skinner? Crowd went wild.
34:10 Mary Beth Barone? One time you did that. Were you talking about the curtains?
34:12 Benito Skinner? Mm-hmm.
34:13 Mary Beth Barone? One time you did that in Seattle and the thing that opened the blind just fully fell off.
34:17 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
34:18 Mary Beth Barone? I remember it.

38:19 Mary Beth Barone? You haven't been on TV in a while.
38:21 Benito Skinner? Not famous enough, never booked, had to return to the theater.
38:23 Mary Beth Barone? Sure.
38:23 Benito Skinner? Should we do our Paddington one?
38:25 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, yeah, that's fun.
38:26 Benito Skinner? Okay. Give me the greatest hits.
38:28 Mary Beth Barone? Okay, so I said, "In all seriousness, this is a room full of incredibly talented individuals. Benny, if you could give a man of the year to anyone, alive or dead, who would it be?"
38:39 Benito Skinner? Paddington.
38:40 Mary Beth Barone? Leave my ex out of this.
38:42 Benito Skinner? You fucked him too?
38:44 Mary Beth Barone? We were in love.
38:45 Benito Skinner? That grizzly bear. Did he take you on the London Eye? I stuffed him on that.
38:51 Mary Beth Barone? You, a top? Now I've seen everything.
38:56 Benito Skinner? I like that one.
38:56 Mary Beth Barone? That was a pretty good one.
38:57 Benito Skinner? That's a really good one. Do your Stellan Skarsgård one.
39:01 Mary Beth Barone? Stellan Skarsgård, "Thank you for all of your sons that you've had."
39:04 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
39:05 Mary Beth Barone? "The A-list acting talent that has come out of you is more than Rada and Lambda combined."
39:10 Benito Skinner? Fabulous, that's good. That's really good.
39:12 Mary Beth Barone? I don't know if he laughed, but that's okay.
39:14 Benito Skinner? Jack O'Connell is here, the one white person in Sinners. Yeah, fabulous, perfect.
39:19 Mary Beth Barone? Dance for me.
39:19 Benito Skinner? Dance for me.
39:21 Mary Beth Barone? Let's do Summer I Turned Pretty.
39:22 Benito Skinner? Yeah, these are, oh my god.
39:24 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, and one of the boys from the Summer I Turned Pretty is here.
39:27 Benito Skinner? Christopher couldn't make it, which sucks because Mary Beth really wanted to sexually harass them together.
39:34 Benito Skinner? She kept saying she loves Paris this time of year. Eiffel Tower. No, they know. Do the Lily Allen one.
39:41 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, my God, yeah.
39:42 Benito Skinner? This one's like, oh, my God.
39:43 Mary Beth Barone? This one's pretty good. You guys, I really wanted to bring my puppy tonight. She loves events, but unfortunately, dogs from America aren't allowed in the UK, which is also the reason David Harbour couldn't make it.
39:53 Speaker 02 Yeah, perfect. That's a perfect joke.
39:55 Mary Beth Barone? And then I say, and then it says here, Benny, to add something about a butt plug.
39:59 Benito Skinner? Yeah, I should have left it in.
40:00 Speaker 02 Yeah, but what was it?
40:02 Benito Skinner? That's what I say.
40:02 Speaker 02 Oh, that was a butt plug. That's really good.
40:04 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
40:05 Benito Skinner? Obviously, this has been a difficult year. America slipped further into fascism. Marginalized groups continue to be targeted by the government, and Kevin Spacey smiled at me at Heathrow. That's why it's so important to be here focusing on what really matters, honoring some of the richest people in the world.
40:22 Mary Beth Barone? You are the real heroes who have made a difference this year.
40:25 Benito Skinner? Oh, this is my favorite.
40:25 Mary Beth Barone? Actors, musicians, athletes.
40:28 Benito Skinner? Yeah, where are the athletes?
40:30 Mary Beth Barone? Thank you.
40:32 Benito Skinner? Thank you.
40:34 Mary Beth Barone? But unfortunately, the athletes that were there were the lionesses, so they actually like do a lot of good, but.
40:39 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
40:39 Speaker 02 Well, we love the lionesses.
40:40 Mary Beth Barone? We thought it was gonna be race car drivers.
40:42 Benito Skinner? Yeah, I thought it was gonna be like an F1 guy, and I'd be like, just thanks, man. You fucking killed it this year.
40:48 Mary Beth Barone? You rocked it out.
40:49 Benito Skinner? Is that it?
40:50 Mary Beth Barone? Those were the good ones.
40:51 Benito Skinner? I think those are the good ones.
40:53 Mary Beth Barone? We had a good time.
40:53 Speaker 02 The David Harbour one for me is testament to you and Benny as well, but really, I love that you're still doing jokes when you do stand up.
41:02 Mary Beth Barone? I have to.
41:03 Speaker 02 We've talked about for years.
41:05 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, it's jokes are a dead art form.
41:07 Speaker 02 You've got, you've got punchlines.
41:09 Benito Skinner? There's one more that you have to, because it's a perfect joke.
41:11 Mary Beth Barone? What?
41:12 Benito Skinner? We're told this is actually the social event of the season, the hardest ticket to get in town, a real huzu. Apparently Prince Andrew was even vying for a seat at this dinner.
41:21 Mary Beth Barone? But then he found out there was no kids table.
41:23 Speaker 02 Perfect. Another perfect joke.
41:25 Benito Skinner? And then she said, GQ also said they have a no dickhead rule at the event, but looking around the room, it looks like a few of you got it.
41:32 Mary Beth Barone? Well, I thought that it was gonna be there and we'll bleep that, but he wasn't, so.
41:39 Speaker 02 He could have been, though.
41:40 Mary Beth Barone? Exactly.
41:40 Speaker 02 He's a hard man to pin down at the best of times.
41:42 Mary Beth Barone? I know, so. Alright, should we get into what you ride for?
41:45 Speaker 02 Yeah.
41:46 Mary Beth Barone? Wait, where are we going?
41:47 Benito Skinner? Who cares? Ride!
41:50 Speaker 02 It really gives me chills to have my own ride.
41:53 Mary Beth Barone? Well, let's hear it. No pressure.
41:54 Speaker 02 Speaking of the importance of being earnest, is I am gonna lower the tone by being a bit earnest.
41:58 Mary Beth Barone? Be honest, go for it.
42:00 Speaker 02 I'm riding for you two getting the clout that you deserve.
42:03 Mary Beth Barone? Wow.
42:03 Benito Skinner? He came in here with an agenda and I appreciate it.
42:06 Speaker 02 Yeah, cuz I'm trying to get my best back, so I was like, let's just be, let's just be super nice. I stood by you both for five long years.
42:16 Benito Skinner? I know, honey.
42:16 Speaker 02 And watched how hard you work.
42:18 Benito Skinner? You watched Queer as Folk.
42:19 Speaker 02 I watched Queer as Folk.
42:20 Benito Skinner? You sat in a car with us and took us to Jimmy John's.
42:24 Speaker 02 I watched you do one of the craziest live shows ever where you got married.
42:28 Benito Skinner? That's the worst show we've ever done.
42:29 Speaker 02 The worst show you've ever done and I said-
42:30 Benito Skinner? Horrific.
42:31 Mary Beth Barone? But you didn't get the ick.
42:32 Speaker 02 It was a show where there had been no rehearsal from anyone involved.
42:35 Mary Beth Barone? And the venue started the show without telling us.
42:37 Speaker 02 And I knew it. And guess who was in the audience?
42:40 Benito Skinner? You, sweetie.
42:41 Mary Beth Barone? Charlie Puth was there.
42:42 Speaker 02 Charlie Puth was in the audience.
42:43 Benito Skinner? But above all else, the venue smelled like cum.
42:46 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah.
42:47 Mary Beth Barone? The Avalon, LA. Thank you, Avalon.
42:49 Speaker 02 Thank you.
42:49 Mary Beth Barone? Someone came backstage and goes-
42:50 Benito Skinner? Mickey Avalon here.
42:51 Mary Beth Barone? With the attitude.
42:53 Benito Skinner? Leading limbs to water.
42:54 Mary Beth Barone? But they came back and they said, we started the show. I go, oh, oh, okay.
42:57 Benito Skinner? Yeah, definitely let us know, but, oh, cool.
43:00 Speaker 02 Anyway, that was another thing that I sat through and so many things that it's so nice to see, since we broke up, actually, which I find it hard to not correlate in a weird way, the explosion.
43:12 Benito Skinner? It's glow up.
43:13 Speaker 02 Yeah.
43:13 Benito Skinner? It's hard to miss.
43:14 Speaker 02 I know. And of course, overcompensating everyone loving it was the best thing ever. But I also was there for so long while you were pitching it.
43:22 Benito Skinner? I know.
43:22 Speaker 02 How long it went, I remember we were in Boston, I was with you guys, you were doing a show when like, maybe you found out that it was getting made.
43:28 Benito Skinner? That day.
43:29 Mary Beth Barone? You were there?
43:30 Speaker 02 I was there.
43:30 Benito Skinner? He was at Boston.
43:31 Mary Beth Barone? For fuck's sake.
43:32 Speaker 02 I would, no, it's okay, I was at the dive bar.
43:34 Mary Beth Barone? You were at the dive bar.
43:34 Benito Skinner? Oh, wait, were you in Boston or I thought maybe you were in New York right after?
43:38 Speaker 02 No, I was in Boston.
43:39 Mary Beth Barone? I was watching Eat, Pray, Love.
43:40 Speaker 02 I was in Boston, but I might as well have not been there cuz I-
43:42 Mary Beth Barone? I was watching Eat, Pray, Love.
43:43 Speaker 02 Yeah.
43:44 Mary Beth Barone? For the first time. Speaking of Julia Roberts.
43:46 Speaker 02 Oh, yeah, no, totally. Seeing you guys achieve what you always wanted, which was, I think, and there's more to come, but you guys set out to make everyone happy and you do.
43:55 Benito Skinner? That's very sweet.
43:56 Speaker 02 You do, the Barone's so happy and they're so kind.
43:59 Mary Beth Barone? Brits mostly.
44:00 Benito Skinner? Yeah, they get us here. I don't know. There's something about it. It's cool.
44:04 Speaker 02 We've always loved you, my friends.
44:06 Benito Skinner? We appreciate it.
44:07 Mary Beth Barone? And I miss, I've missed them. I haven't seen them.
44:08 Speaker 02 Thought you were controlling.
44:09 Mary Beth Barone? Right. Most of them.
44:11 Benito Skinner? Give me names.
44:12 Mary Beth Barone? We'll tell you after.
44:13 Speaker 02 We'll do names afterwards.
44:14 Mary Beth Barone? There were concerns, I mean, there were concerns, there were concerns of my, me being bossy and whatever.
44:19 Speaker 02 You can be controlling with a lowercase c.
44:21 Mary Beth Barone? I remember this horrible fight we had once about a phone charger. I don't remember exactly, but we were gonna go to Norma for dinner.
44:27 Benito Skinner? Yeah, totally.
44:28 Mary Beth Barone? And then we got in a huge fight in front of Tim and Anya. So that sucked.
44:32 Speaker 02 That sucks. When the fight breaks into, in front of the friends, that's really scary stuff.
44:35 Mary Beth Barone? Well, it was hard because you lived with five actors.
44:38 Speaker 02 Yeah.
44:39 Mary Beth Barone? So.
44:39 Benito Skinner? That's crazy. You know, that could only happen with straight guys, because straight actors root for each other.
44:44 Speaker 02 Mm-hmm. We do like each other.
44:45 Benito Skinner? Yeah. Well, there's more roles for you guys.
44:47 Speaker 02 Yeah.
44:48 Benito Skinner? Well, you have our roles too.
44:49 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah. It's not the limit.
44:51 Speaker 02 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
44:51 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
44:52 Speaker 02 We got him.
44:53 Benito Skinner? I love it.
44:53 Mary Beth Barone? But yeah, that was a shame.
44:54 Speaker 02 You're the only person ever to make me storm out of a room. Can you remember the one when we got an argument because I was desperate for piss? And I went to the toilet and just before I started pissing, you pushed me out the way and sat on the toilet and pissed?
45:06 Mary Beth Barone? I feel like you should let girls go first.
45:08 Speaker 02 Yeah.
45:09 Mary Beth Barone? So. You could have peed through my legs. I couldn't have peed through yours.
45:13 Benito Skinner? Just say, it all sounds good.
45:14 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
45:15 Speaker 02 What I'm saying is worst couple of all time.
45:17 Mary Beth Barone? But I think a lot of those fights were also a result of just like, we weren't together all the time. And then it was like, that was sort of the basis for like all the bad stuff.
45:25 Speaker 02 And the pressure, the pressure was very high when we were together to be like perfect and nice to each other.
45:29 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
45:30 Benito Skinner? Well, that's always hard with couples when you haven't seen each other for a while and then you get back together and it's like, there is like a clunkiness because you've started to live independently.
45:38 Speaker 02 Yeah.
45:39 Benito Skinner? It's hard to not take the independence as like a slap in the face. It's like, wait, you haven't seen me, but now you want to go get coffee alone?
45:45 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, totally.
45:46 Benito Skinner? But which is so fair. It's like, well, that's what you've been doing.
45:48 Mary Beth Barone? Or just like, don't put your suitcase there.
45:50 Benito Skinner? And sometimes it's like, I just literally want to listen to this new song. It's not really that deep.
45:53 Speaker 02 It was crazy.
45:54 Benito Skinner? Look at me, look at me there.
45:54 Speaker 02 I was just gonna say, important to be earnest.
45:57 Mary Beth Barone? But I appreciate that you have always celebrated us and our accomplishments, even post-war.
46:02 Speaker 02 I posted about overcompensating.
46:04 Benito Skinner? You did, and it was very cute. You sent me the nicest message when it came out, and that was really lovely.
46:08 Speaker 02 Well, it's a great show.
46:09 Benito Skinner? And you were at that party. It was very sweet. What do you want me to fucking say? I'm saying. But here's my thing. I'm like, I, I'm the best. Sorry.
46:18 Speaker 02 You are, you are kind of the best.
46:19 Benito Skinner? I know. It's so random.
46:21 Mary Beth Barone? And we've always said, when you lose one of us, you lose both of us.
46:24 Benito Skinner? I know.
46:25 Mary Beth Barone? Seriously.
46:25 Benito Skinner? You're as close to
46:26 Speaker 02 You know how scared I was?
46:27 Benito Skinner? Anyone has ever been.
46:29 Mary Beth Barone? I feel like because we're still good friends, it's fine.
46:31 Speaker 02 It wasn't easy. We had to not speak. You sent me a text that was like,
46:34 Mary Beth Barone? I need space.
46:35 Speaker 02 Shut the fuck up for, because I kept.
46:37 Mary Beth Barone? I just need space.
46:38 Speaker 02 I was like, my friend Mary Beth. I was kind of living in a dream world for a bit.
46:41 Mary Beth Barone? But then, I mean, that didn't last that long.
46:43 Benito Skinner? It's sweet, though. I mean, it's hard to, you think that you can do those things. And also, everyone has like different rules. And also, they'll, they'll be like, everyone loves to just bombard you with the.
46:52 Speaker 02 You gotta, you gotta take your time.
46:54 Mary Beth Barone? You have to heal.
46:55 Benito Skinner? We gotta make sure that people are healing. And I think you guys are probably heroes to a lot of people watching that this is so amicable and lovely. And I've just loved healing this. And I'm so glad you're back together.
47:08 Mary Beth Barone? Well, we, we figured out last night.
47:09 Speaker 02 And we are back together.
47:11 Mary Beth Barone? No, we figured out last night, when I'm 40 and he's 38, we'll probably get back together. But he'll have a kid with someone else.
47:17 Benito Skinner? Lord, save me, my drug is my baby. I officiate.
47:21 Speaker 02 I'll have a kid with someone else.
47:22 Benito Skinner? Do a good job, but I'm officiating.
47:23 Speaker 02 And the kid's gonna be charming.
47:24 Benito Skinner? And I'm wearing McLean and it's a kill.
47:26 Mary Beth Barone? I don't think we'll get married.
47:27 Benito Skinner? McLean and it's a kill.
47:28 Speaker 02 Yeah, McLean kill. You got the McLean kill.
47:30 Mary Beth Barone? Ceremony, but we wouldn't do the paperwork.
47:32 Speaker 02 Sure, sure, sure.
47:33 Mary Beth Barone? So that's, that's only, that's six years from now.
47:36 Benito Skinner? Sad the other day. Oh, I almost figured this.
47:38 Speaker 02 You can do that.
47:39 Benito Skinner? Thanks. I saw this photo the other day and it broke my heart because it was David Beckham and Miss Posh at their wedding in the purple custom outfits.
47:47 Mary Beth Barone? That's what I really wanted to do.
47:48 Benito Skinner? And that's what you guys wanted to do for a party.
47:50 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
47:50 Speaker 02 And I, I thought of it and it made me really sad.
47:52 Mary Beth Barone? It would confuse people if we did it now.
47:54 Speaker 02 We probably should, we should stay away from it until you're 40 and I'm 38. But until then, you know, we can do other costumes, I guess.
48:00 Mary Beth Barone? You have six years to do whatever you want. Sow those wild oats.
48:03 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
48:04 Speaker 02 Thank you.
48:04 Mary Beth Barone? And then.
48:05 Benito Skinner? Let the sky fall. Let the salt burn.
48:11 Mary Beth Barone? What's been the worst part of us not being together?
48:14 Speaker 02 The worst part of not being together, I loved being Mary Beth's boyfriend. That's like a title. It was really fun. In the ride world, it was just like, that took the pressure off me. When I was on tour with you guys, it was like, it was just eye candy.
48:28 Benito Skinner? You were just hot. It was just like you in the bathroom getting like.
48:31 Speaker 02 I was just like at the back and like, some people would be like, oh my God, it's Mary Beth's boyfriend. Someone took a selfie with me for being Mary Beth's boyfriend.
48:37 Benito Skinner? Someone, that happened like every night.
48:39 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
48:40 Benito Skinner? You don't have to be humble in the library, C. Come on, we're kind of on your turf here. You let her rip.
48:44 Speaker 02 Yeah, wait, we're in, we're in England.
48:46 Mary Beth Barone? We're in England.
48:47 Speaker 02 I did a play recently, you know, back on the stage.
48:50 Mary Beth Barone? Cause you're in the theatre.
48:50 Speaker 02 Cause I'm back on the stage.
48:51 Benito Skinner? I, I'm so sad I missed that.
48:53 Speaker 02 I know, it's a shame.
48:54 Benito Skinner? I heard you were so brilliant and you looked so fantastic. And I saw some of the fan art, which I needed.
48:58 Mary Beth Barone? The fan art was everything.
49:00 Speaker 02 We can get you some.
49:01 Benito Skinner? Good.
49:01 Speaker 02 We can get you some. Somebody came to stage door and they talked to me about Mary Beth. And then they sent me a DM saying if she is a barony and is listening to this and this makes the cut, then great. She sent me a really sweet DM being like, I'm so sorry for bringing up your ex, just in case that was like triggering or something. I was like.
49:17 Mary Beth Barone? No, not triggering.
49:19 Speaker 02 It's good.
49:20 Benito Skinner? No, if anything, you gave the performance of your life that night, I'm sure.
49:23 Speaker 02 Yeah.
49:23 Benito Skinner? You left it all on the fricking stage, kid.
49:25 Speaker 02 Yeah.
49:26 Benito Skinner? We developed a kid with you.
49:27 Speaker 02 Queen. Clean.
49:29 Mary Beth Barone? Clean.
49:31 Speaker 02 I licked the plate clean. Yeah, kid came out. No, it was nothing to do with me, though. I just arrived in LA one time and it was.
49:38 Mary Beth Barone? But we leaned into it more.
49:39 Speaker 02 It was fully formed.
49:40 Mary Beth Barone? Cause it had a good audience, warm, receptive audience.
49:42 Speaker 02 Well, because I'll laugh at anything Benny says. And I'll laugh at most of the things that you say.
49:46 Mary Beth Barone? I know.
49:47 Benito Skinner? I know. It's hard not to perform for Edward. I'll say it.
49:51 Mary Beth Barone? It's hard not to perform for Benny. I'll say it.
49:54 Speaker 02 And I'm just happy to be here.
49:56 Benito Skinner? You know what you are, Mary Beth?
49:58 Mary Beth Barone? Bisexual?
49:59 Benito Skinner? Well, yeah, but you're also my ride or die.
50:02 Speaker 02 Ride or die.
50:04 Benito Skinner? How could we not write for our come up? I mean, come on.
50:06 Speaker 02 Yeah, I was gonna say, I put you in a, I've, I've put you in a position here where it's like, so do you write?
50:11 Mary Beth Barone? No, I can't.
50:12 Speaker 02 You deserve.
50:12 Benito Skinner? You know what? I write for Edward. I write for Eddie Obama.
50:15 Speaker 02 You've already written for me, though.
50:17 Benito Skinner? Baby, I've written it. I don't give.
50:21 Benito Skinner? Yeah, I've been on the tube. I love you.
50:23 Speaker 02 Yeah, how was the tube? What line are you on?
50:25 Benito Skinner? I haven't actually been on yet.
50:27 Mary Beth Barone? We've been doing a lot of walking places.
50:29 Benito Skinner? Only double deckers.
50:30 Speaker 02 Well, of course, you're staying at a five star hotel in central London. You don't need to take the tube anywhere. You can walk anywhere you want.
50:34 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, but I'm still like salt to the earth, like corn fat.
50:37 Speaker 02 Yeah.
50:37 Mary Beth Barone? Who's the person you've hooked up with that would upset me the most? I'm just kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
50:42 Speaker 02 I can do it.
50:43 Benito Skinner? Yeah, we'll.
50:43 Mary Beth Barone? Well, no, I mean, sure.
50:45 Speaker 02 No, I think you know.
50:46 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
50:46 Speaker 02 Yeah. We did a good breakdown of people that I've hooked up with over the last.
50:49 Mary Beth Barone? And I haven't hooked up with that many, so.
50:51 Speaker 02 She held a gun to my head and I just had to go through them.
50:54 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
50:55 Speaker 02 When you announced it on the pod, and I actually think this is quite, to use one of your phrases, army of love. But like when you announced on the pod, like a barony slid in my DMs and was like, I'm so sorry about you and Mary Beth. Are you free this week?
51:06 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
51:06 Speaker 02 And in like the same.
51:07 Benito Skinner? So I don't know if that's family, but I do know.
51:09 Speaker 02 I kind of think it is. It is strangely family because if she feels comfortable to do that, then you've you've created a real safe space.
51:17 Benito Skinner? Maybe I would say too safe at that point. Some would say too safe, I would say.
51:22 Mary Beth Barone? But you didn't have to respond.
51:23 Speaker 02 I didn't respond.
51:24 Mary Beth Barone? Oh.
51:25 Speaker 02 No, no, no, no. No, she's outside waiting. I left that. I, I, I, yeah, I say, I say, give it a year.
51:31 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
51:31 Speaker 02 Give it a year. Let's wait for the dust to settle.
51:33 Mary Beth Barone? Give it a year.
51:34 Benito Skinner? And then one year later, he said, how about that pint?
51:39 Benito Skinner? Me, me at Sherlock Holmes, right by the Corinthia Hotel.
51:43 Mary Beth Barone? We walked by Sherlock Holmes yesterday.
51:44 Benito Skinner? We walked by a Sherlock Holmes pub. I go, me, me at Sherlock Holmes.
51:47 Speaker 02 At the Sherlock Holmes.
51:48 Mary Beth Barone? They have the Christmas lights outside.
51:50 Speaker 02 It's Christmas.
51:50 Mary Beth Barone? I love the, I love the.
51:52 Benito Skinner? I can't stop saying happy Christmas. I love that you guys don't say merry. It's just happy Christmas.
51:56 Speaker 02 Because we want it to be happy. Merry's a bit.
51:58 Benito Skinner? Shouldn't it be happy?
51:59 Speaker 02 It should be happy, don't marry.
52:01 Benito Skinner? Let the salt burn. When it.
52:04 Mary Beth Barone? Thank you, Edward, for being here.
52:06 Benito Skinner? Edward Bluemel, everybody.
