0:19 Mary Beth Barone? Hey, can you come pick me up? Yeah, what's wrong? Nothing. Are you sure? Yeah, no, I just need a ride. Ride, ride. Oh, my God. So what? I just want to have fun. Start your engines. Take that.
0:30 Benito Skinner? I'm Benito Skinner.
0:31 Mary Beth Barone? I'm Mary Beth Brown.
0:33 Benito Skinner? And this?
0:33 Mary Beth Barone? Is?
0:34 Benito Skinner? Ride.
0:38 Mary Beth Barone? Those are the Epstein files. The conversation we just had is the Epstein files.
0:42 Benito Skinner? We literally just did.
0:46 Mary Beth Barone? Are we recording, Jackson? Okay, great.
0:48 Benito Skinner? Okay.
0:48 Mary Beth Barone? Do you want to start? I mean, we're going to keep what we just said, but you can start.
0:51 Benito Skinner? Well, my big set piece is here.
0:56 Speaker 00 After the ecstasy testing for pregnancy, praying in MP3. I'm scared to let you see into the whole machine. Leave it out on the field. Your metal detector metering, it's my precious transit to yourself.
1:14 Mary Beth Barone? I'm getting ready to listen.
1:15 Speaker 00 Nobody's daughter. Your baby, I'm free, I'm free. I'm free.
1:24 Speaker 00 But deep in my matter, you're changing my pattern. Jeff, he looks just right through me. Bars on my windows, you bust them wide open till clearness is all I see. I try letting the answer be part of the dance. I trip and stumble. Yeah, baby, I'm free, I'm free. I am free. I might have done the other one. Lips around your halo, you ask where I came from. I lied in it, I can't clean. Halo being a dick, do you understand?
1:56 Mary Beth Barone? Sure.
1:57 Speaker 00 When that hit me.
2:00 Speaker 00 That might have been it.
2:00 Mary Beth Barone? Okay.
2:01 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
2:02 Mary Beth Barone? Yay.
2:03 Speaker 00 I will do it till I cry.
2:07 Speaker 00 How's it feel? Being this alive?
2:11 Mary Beth Barone? And yeah, I don't care if my voice cracks.
2:14 Speaker 00 So, what'd you think? Did you love it?
2:16 Mary Beth Barone? I loved it.
2:18 Benito Skinner? Thank you, honey.
2:18 Mary Beth Barone? What's cool is that you had done this for me already backstage when we were recording. So I've seen it. I love it. I think we should start every episode with that.
2:27 Benito Skinner? Should I give you the other one that you like?
2:29 Mary Beth Barone? No. Oh, yeah, sure, sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just hate that, what happens now.
2:33 Benito Skinner? Ruining my relationships.
2:34 Mary Beth Barone? With me.
2:37 Mary Beth Barone? It's Mouse.
2:39 Benito Skinner? Is it Mouse?
2:39 Mary Beth Barone? It's Mouse, yeah.
2:40 Benito Skinner? Oh, 18th Diva, it's just you.
2:43 Speaker 00 Them bitches want my keys. The friend.
2:50 Benito Skinner? Wait, why's the echo on there?
2:52 Mary Beth Barone? Okay.
2:57 Mary Beth Barone? What did I say before? I said if this is a test of my mental fortitude, we're reaching edge.
3:02 Speaker 00 Grab a pole up the politician, please.
3:09 Speaker 00 I don't need to see you, you're so good.
3:12 Benito Skinner? Oh, shit. Do you see how I just didn't get the right toys as a kid?
3:17 Mary Beth Barone? Can I just say one thing?
3:18 Benito Skinner? Don't take it, because I know you won't give it back.
3:20 Mary Beth Barone? No, give it to me. I want to say one thing. You ordered this and it came with no charger.
3:24 Benito Skinner? No charger, nothing.
3:24 Mary Beth Barone? It came as seen on TV.
3:26 Benito Skinner? I just want to sing one more thing to you.
3:28 Mary Beth Barone? Jackson, we're gonna have to fix the levels because that's gonna hurt people's ears and feelings.
3:32 Benito Skinner? So I have a new toy. It's not an era, more just a toy.
3:35 Mary Beth Barone? Adults can have toys. Inner child, what do you always say on the podcast?
3:39 Benito Skinner? Let the inner child free. Wait, question. Did that make you laugh?
3:43 Mary Beth Barone? It did.
3:44 Benito Skinner? Did I see that Hunter Watt smile?
3:45 Mary Beth Barone? No, for sure. I think it's different when it's not into another microphone and then it's like feeding that into my headphones. Like live, it sounds different, just so everyone knows.
3:53 Benito Skinner? At my house later, I whipped that out. You were not even expecting it. I'm tucked.
3:57 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, yeah. And you sing Halsey.
3:58 Benito Skinner? And I sing Halsey when she revealed her pregnancy at Coachella.
4:02 Mary Beth Barone? Right.
4:02 Benito Skinner? Which didn't happen, all of this.
4:04 Mary Beth Barone? Right.
4:04 Benito Skinner? I just had a bit for a while.
4:05 Mary Beth Barone? Who's your favorite fictional character?
4:08 Benito Skinner? Don't, because now I'm thinking again, who's yours? When she said Han Solo, I went, thank God.
4:14 Mary Beth Barone? What a relief.
4:15 Benito Skinner? I wonder when that video will come out. Isn't it so scary thinking of the archive of everything that exists?
4:19 Mary Beth Barone? If ever, yeah.
4:20 Benito Skinner? Everything everywhere all at once that exists of us on a press tour?
4:22 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah. I wanted to say eight months into Trump's presidency, we haven't hit the Taika button once. So I think that's something we need to be mindful of and
4:30 Benito Skinner? Hit it.
4:31 Mary Beth Barone? Hit it.
4:31 Benito Skinner? Taika button. AI cannot figure out fingers.
4:35 Mary Beth Barone? And what's so interesting about that is that
4:38 Benito Skinner? You'd think it'd be easy.
4:39 Mary Beth Barone? are, no, hands are the hardest thing to draw, paint, all that stuff.
4:43 Benito Skinner? Oh, that's true.
4:44 Mary Beth Barone? So it's not surprising. I learned that literally in elementary school art class. Ms. Denapoli, shout out to her. I think that was her name.
4:50 Benito Skinner? She turned off after hearing the vocoder.
4:53 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah. She didn't like that. So yes, that is traditionally known as the hands are the hardest thing to sort of master as an artist. So maybe AI and humans aren't so different after all.
5:04 Benito Skinner? Yeah, I guess maybe we can find a common ground of sorts. Oh shit, I'm Sydney Sweeney.
5:09 Mary Beth Barone? Don't be Sydney. We actually can't do that.
5:11 Benito Skinner? I know. Wait, someone said that like, I don't know, they, there was some comment that was like, as if we had done some like a huge endorsement of the American Eagle thing. That never happens.
5:19 Mary Beth Barone? No.
5:19 Benito Skinner? Just to be clear.
5:20 Mary Beth Barone? No, and it never will.
5:21 Benito Skinner? Yeah, that wasn't it.
5:23 Mary Beth Barone? That never will.
5:24 Benito Skinner? We said something existed. And I think that that's one thing I just want to make clear on the pod. If we say that something exists, that doesn't mean-
5:31 Mary Beth Barone? It's not an endorsement.
5:31 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
5:32 Mary Beth Barone? Okay, so there's all the discourse about AI taking jobs and stuff, which I'm sure is happening. But all I see of AI are, like, I saw a video of all the Austin Powers characters as babies.
5:44 Benito Skinner? Hmm, well, thank God.
5:45 Mary Beth Barone? And so I'm like, was that someone's job before to do that by hand? It feels like AI is just creating a lot of stuff that we didn't have, that we actually don't need.
5:53 Benito Skinner? See, I'll explain this to you, very straight male style.
5:56 Mary Beth Barone? Please.
5:57 Benito Skinner? Every movie before you make it, you have to see all that kind of stuff on storyboards. You have to see the kids.
6:02 Mary Beth Barone? And them in their couple costumes.
6:03 Benito Skinner? But what would this like, look like if it was like Gothic 80s horror? And it's like, well, I have a full storyboard.
6:08 Mary Beth Barone? We can show you that.
6:09 Benito Skinner? That person doesn't have a job. And that pisses me off, dude. No, I-
6:13 Mary Beth Barone? A person now does not have a job. Do you get that?
6:16 Benito Skinner? Do you fucking understand that? Hey, white bitch. Do you get that?
6:22 Mary Beth Barone? And the answer is no.
6:23 Benito Skinner? Everyone's you on the internet.
6:24 Mary Beth Barone? No, I know. Wait, you know, oh, you know what I've been loving recently? I have a joke about Trump's kids and I posted it. And so all these people comment, don't quit your day job, which then actually is being supportive because my day job is being a comedian, which they don't realize. So they're like, oh, don't quit your day job, you ugly bitch. And I'm like, okay, I won't. I'm gonna keep doing stand up.
6:44 Benito Skinner? You're right, I'm going to be an actor.
6:47 Mary Beth Barone? And I am.
6:48 Benito Skinner? What was the Nina thing you wanted me to read?
6:50 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, so, okay, there was a video of the New York Times talking about something really, really serious.
6:54 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
6:55 Mary Beth Barone? It was a podcast and underneath there were these two comments that I felt were really important.
7:00 Benito Skinner? Okay, let me get my, she would love that little thing just to play tricks. I'm curious why men always, oh.
7:10 Mary Beth Barone? You remember now?
7:11 Benito Skinner? Oh, fuck their bird. I'm curious why men always want to go to the bathroom to play with their bird. To play with their bird after watching my videos. Try it if you don't believe me.
7:24 Benito Skinner? I just wanted to ask, what was everyone doing in the bathroom after watching my movie? Me at the premiere of Overcompensating?
7:33 Mary Beth Barone? You at the premiere of Sugar Baby?
7:35 Benito Skinner? No.
7:37 Mary Beth Barone? So that just happened.
7:39 Benito Skinner? My bird.
7:40 Mary Beth Barone? Your bird. But I actually don't want, I'm just amplifying that.
7:44 Benito Skinner? So I assume cock got just a little AI, hands and cock are a little tricky for it.
7:50 Mary Beth Barone? Tough to master.
7:50 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
7:51 Mary Beth Barone? Our notes app says, the owl outside my window.
7:55 Benito Skinner? Oh, you're really gonna bring this bitch up. Speaking of bird, well, I have my first op of the year. I swear to God, I've.
8:03 Mary Beth Barone? This is your first op of the year?
8:04 Benito Skinner? I've been, I've had a really peaceful.
8:05 Mary Beth Barone? My list has grown.
8:06 Benito Skinner? No, my, I'm kidding, my list is huge. But there is this bird outside my window. Hedwig, turf Hogwarts, I can only imagine.
8:16 Mary Beth Barone? Fuck you, J K Rowling.
8:18 Benito Skinner? And fuck you, J K Rowling. You've seen the Jinx once in.
8:22 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, my God, that was so, I wonder how, I guess we need to post that in some way, shape or form.
8:27 Benito Skinner? We have to.
8:28 Mary Beth Barone? The teardown of J K Rowling.
8:29 Benito Skinner? So simple, so beautiful.
8:31 Mary Beth Barone? Eloquent, beautiful.
8:32 Benito Skinner? Reading is fundamental. So. One morning, and you know, I'm, I'm a pretty heavy sleeper, honestly. Like you snuck into my house last night. I didn't hear a thing.
8:41 Mary Beth Barone? You did not wake up. You didn't make a sound.
8:43 Benito Skinner? And I know you were going crazy, folding everything. So I'm sleeping one morning.
8:48 Mary Beth Barone? I did the Dyson.
8:50 Benito Skinner? Fully in your heels with the big headphones on.
8:53 Mary Beth Barone? These boots are made of a box.
8:55 Benito Skinner? So this one morning, the sun starts to come in and the bedroom and the boudoir. And I hear huh huh. And I'm like, okay, well, once is fine. So this owl is a rancid ass bitch. This owl, I would say is very Joker coded.
9:13 Mary Beth Barone? Just wants to watch world burn.
9:15 Benito Skinner? Very much, very Riddler, because he'll do something like, and it's a he, because I, I just think a she would have come inside.
9:21 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
9:22 Benito Skinner? She would be hanging out.
9:22 Mary Beth Barone? And had a spot of tea with you.
9:24 Benito Skinner? Of course, she'd be on my finger.
9:25 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, exactly.
9:26 Benito Skinner? And I'd pet her huh huh. And I'd, I'd huh back at her. This I couldn't, I didn't understand the frequency. I tried it in the mic and nothing worked. This owl, he keeps going huh huh. And then he will wait. So it'll be like this. Huh huh.
9:43 Benito Skinner? So I'm back asleep at this point.
9:46 Benito Skinner? Like, and then the next one will come at a different time.
9:48 Mary Beth Barone? It's maximum impact and it's not no rhythm.
9:51 Benito Skinner? And it works for my washing machine. I swear to God, they're on the same circadian rhythm.
9:54 Mary Beth Barone? Your washing machine is my horcrux or whatever. What does that mean?
9:59 Benito Skinner? I don't know.
10:00 Mary Beth Barone? Do you know what I mean?
10:01 Benito Skinner? Of course.
10:01 Mary Beth Barone? It's or what's the thing that like?
10:03 Benito Skinner? It's.
10:04 Mary Beth Barone? It's like, it haunts me and I hate it so much.
10:06 Benito Skinner? Well, someone asked me to describe it once. They're like, what's the, you know, what's the vibe? And I said, I said, insidious.
10:12 Mary Beth Barone? If fuck, if you leave a fucking wet load in there.
10:17 Benito Skinner? Fuck. God damn it. She's complaining about the wet load in there again. No.
10:21 Mary Beth Barone? That your washing machine is a bitch.
10:23 Benito Skinner? No, she is such a bitch. It's literally like the ghost of a 50s housewife who got wronged lives inside my insidious.
10:30 Mary Beth Barone? Betty Draper's ghost lives in your fucking washing machine.
10:32 Benito Skinner? The conjuring.
10:33 Mary Beth Barone? And she sent the owl, by the way. But here's the thing, if you leave it. So, okay, I understand you don't want me to leave wet clothes in there, right?
10:39 Benito Skinner? That's the frequency. He'd come, right then he would have gone huh huh.
10:42 Mary Beth Barone? Right.
10:43 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
10:43 Mary Beth Barone? I don't want to leave wet clothes in the wash, but I gotta have a grace period of a little bit. And also if you beep 10 times, let it go.
10:50 Benito Skinner? Mama, I'm on zoom.
10:51 Mary Beth Barone? Let it go. We've moved on. We're doing something else.
10:55 Benito Skinner? At that point they go, you're pathetic. You're just so needy.
10:59 Mary Beth Barone? You're so fucking scar for attention.
11:00 Benito Skinner? No, fully. My washing machine had the worst fucking childhood. But then, once I'm there, it's like it also shakes a lot. It's just so, it's overcompensating in a lot of ways.
11:11 Mary Beth Barone? Tough.
11:12 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
11:12 Mary Beth Barone? But I love waking up in your house.
11:13 Benito Skinner? So that's my washing machine.
11:15 Mary Beth Barone? And, and the owl. So I guess it's at this point, before we get into what we ride for, that we need to talk about in a French ass restaurant.
11:24 Benito Skinner? Hurry up with my damn croissants! So.
11:27 Mary Beth Barone? So we're not endorsing.
11:29 Benito Skinner? God, no, we would.
11:30 Mary Beth Barone? We are just saying that this exists.
11:32 Benito Skinner? I can't stress enough. And if you actually think we are endorsing, you're not a part of the work.
11:37 Mary Beth Barone? Listen to the entire podcast from the beginning and then come talk to me.
11:40 Benito Skinner? And decide if we are supporting this at all. We don't even need to say who it is. I don't know why it came to my head. I just thought, I can't believe this lyric exists. I need to shout it out at Mary Beth right now in Montreal in this hotel. That had an interesting smell.
11:57 Benito Skinner? It smelled like come, no?
12:00 Benito Skinner? Well, don't say that. They'll come for you.
12:02 Mary Beth Barone? Yes.
12:03 Benito Skinner? Good. So.
12:04 Mary Beth Barone? We're gonna bleep that. Not so. We're never revealing it. Also, the video podcast, I wonder if people are noticing how fidgety I am. I am adjusting in my chair about every five seconds.
12:16 Benito Skinner? Also, I think there's just like a glow filter that we put on all of it just to make it consistent, but sometimes.
12:21 Mary Beth Barone? For you guys.
12:21 Benito Skinner? Hey, it's for you.
12:22 Mary Beth Barone? It's not for us.
12:23 Benito Skinner? It has nothing to do with us. I don't care how I look.
12:25 Mary Beth Barone? No, we never do.
12:26 Benito Skinner? No, I've never, I've never cared about some shit like that.
12:29 Mary Beth Barone? How many doctors have you been to in the last two weeks?
12:30 Benito Skinner? Thirty. I went to a holistic healer this morning and she told me I had rage in my liver. So I would say we're really getting closer and closer to an answer. But I think I might have.
12:40 Mary Beth Barone? I'm not, I have nothing to say on that.
12:41 Benito Skinner? I might have leaky gut.
12:43 Mary Beth Barone? Totally.
12:43 Benito Skinner? And all I said to her was, come on, leaky gut.
12:46 Mary Beth Barone? You did not say that.
12:47 Benito Skinner? I didn't.
12:48 Mary Beth Barone? Okay, good.
12:48 Benito Skinner? I just wanted to make you laugh. So in a French ass restaurant, hurry up with my damn croissants. It's just like, I just, yeah. So I did sing that at Mary Beth and I just thought of like Peter, season two, like saying that and thinking it was so sick. In a French ass restaurant, hurry up with my damn croissant.
13:09 Mary Beth Barone? And that joke costing $50,000.
13:11 Benito Skinner? A hundred.
13:12 Mary Beth Barone? So.
13:13 Benito Skinner? That would be a hundred. Sleep it.
13:17 Mary Beth Barone? I, look, I like that people, there's levels to the work. There's levels to the meaning. That one is face value. It's face value. There's nothing deeper there. He's in a French ass restaurant. And can you picture him in a French restaurant yelling, hurry up with my damn croissants?
13:37 Benito Skinner? And also, very clearly, it's not Paris.
13:40 Mary Beth Barone? Right.
13:40 Benito Skinner? That's what I love. Like, I'm just in this French ass restaurant.
13:42 Mary Beth Barone? In Paris, a French restaurant, it's just a restaurant.
13:45 Benito Skinner? It's just a restaurant. So this is a French ass restaurant.
13:48 Mary Beth Barone? Guess who's going to jail tonight? I just love saying that, but privately and on the podcast.
13:55 Benito Skinner? And here on camera. No, this is something, it's, when you said face value, it makes me think of.
14:00 Mary Beth Barone? What does it make you think of?
14:02 Benito Skinner? I love having a podcast and just talking to the fucking most annoying girl in fucking comedy right now. You're so up your ass after your Big Seth moment.
14:10 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, it's me. I've been riding that way for a while, girl.
14:15 Benito Skinner? So.
14:16 Mary Beth Barone? I shouldn't even be here right now.
14:17 Benito Skinner? I shouldn't have to fucking do this. That's what you say when you come in. We're so weird on here.
14:22 Mary Beth Barone? I knock a chair over and I say, get me the fuck out of here. And hurry up with my damn croissants.
14:30 Benito Skinner? In a French ass restaurant.
14:35 Benito Skinner? And then the whole stadium is silent. And they all sing it with me. Hurry up with my damn croissants.
14:41 Mary Beth Barone? Let me hear you.
14:44 Benito Skinner? Okay, so here's the thing. I was at dinner last night. I was at dinner last night with Amber Bain of The Japanese House. And she was saying that she and her lovely bride, Alyssa, got in, not a squabble. I think it's just a really intense fight.
14:59 Mary Beth Barone? You asked their biggest fight?
15:00 Benito Skinner? Well, of course, I said, well, with my arms crossed, I said, what's your biggest fight?
15:03 Mary Beth Barone? What's your biggest fight?
15:04 Benito Skinner? She said, Alyssa and I were confused as to if Pork Nights has any sexual innuendo. Cause she was like, I just think it's like you just saying Pork Nights, you just like eating pork. And I'm like, no, it's just that. It hasn't.
15:14 Mary Beth Barone? For now.
15:15 Benito Skinner? Well, for now.
15:16 Mary Beth Barone? We'll see how it evolves.
15:17 Benito Skinner? It could evolve any, yeah, any which way. But yeah, I'm like, no, that's, I think that's the beauty of this.
15:21 Mary Beth Barone? Sometimes it's just literal and it's just like, yeah.
15:24 Benito Skinner? When you go to dinner, when you go to dinner and you eat pork. So
15:27 Mary Beth Barone? Be that simple.
15:28 Benito Skinner? Today I'll be writing for
15:29 Mary Beth Barone? We should have a podcast.
15:30 Benito Skinner? So, and I'm so glad we do. And this is why we have one.

17:25 Benito Skinner? NoCD. This episode is brought to you by NoCD. Picture this: You're going about your day when suddenly a horrifying thought flashes through your mind. "I'm gonna kill Benny Drama." Maybe it's a fear of something happening to a loved one, a disturbing or sexual image that keeps you playing in your mind. "I'm gonna kill Betty Drama, but he'll be naked." Or an urge to do something you don't want to do. Kill Benny Drama. Your heart races, your palms sweat, and anxiety washes over you. You're mortified, and you feel fully convinced that it's true, even though you know that that isn't who you are. You don't want to kill Benny Drama. But still, the question of, "Why did I think that? Am I a bad person?" Start to consume you, and you feel like you have to do something, anything, to make them go away. "I feel this so hard. I experience this all the time."
18:06 Benito Skinner? I also experience it at times when I really, like, don't want to, so I've been on vacation, yeah, vacation privilege, for a week. And lately, I find that I kind of get them more during those times. So if any of this sounds familiar, here's the thing about those disturbing, unwanted thoughts. They're more common than you think. In fact, almost everyone has them. But for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder, or OCD, they usually cause a lot of distress and feel hard to stop thinking about. Unlike general therapy providers, every NoCD therapist specializes in OCD, so they deeply understand intrusive thoughts. That means no matter how disturbing, like killing Benny Drama, taboo, or shameful you think something is, your therapy sessions are a safe space to be open about it. Using Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy, or ERP,
18:51 Benito Skinner? the most proven OCD treatment, your NoCD therapist can help you take the power away from OCD and distressing thoughts in live, face-to-face video therapy sessions. NoCD also accepts many major insurance plans and offers always-on support between sessions. To learn more about therapy with NoCD, go to nocd.com and schedule a free 15-minute call with their team.

19:19 Mary Beth Barone? Okay, as a card-carrying girl's girl, I have something to tell you. This summer is not only about being sexy, it's about having a better morning after. You heard that right. You might be waking up in your own bed or someone else's, and I know what you're thinking right now. This girl woke up in my house. And the house that you woke up in may or may not have navy blue sheets. That's none of my business. But it doesn't matter because Julie has you covered. The Julie Morning After Pill uses the same trusted gyno-recommended ingredient as Plan B to delay ovulation and prevent pregnancy when taken up to three days after unprotected sex. Julie literally just sent one to my house. Can you believe that? I got a Julie pill in my house. If there's no egg, there's no fertilization. And if there's no fertilization, there's no pregnancy. It's called science, women in STEM, hello. The earlier you use it, the better it works. And when you need it,
20:04 Mary Beth Barone? Julie should be your Plan A because it's more affordable than a leading competitor. Think of all the savings as another drink on Julie. And the best part is, it's so easy to use. All it takes is one pill, and you're ready to get on with your life. The Morning After Pill cannot end an existing pregnancy and won't affect future fertility whatsoever. Girls, girls everywhere can find Julie at CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Target, Amazon, and GoPuff across all 50 states. No age restrictions and no ID required. I know, times are tough. Everything's about to get more expensive. So I just want to remind you that Julie is more affordable than a leading competitor. And just to reiterate, girls, girls everywhere can find Julie at CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Target, Amazon, and GoPuff across all 50 states.
20:49 Mary Beth Barone? No age restrictions and no ID required. We love you, Julie. Thanks for protecting our girls.
20:57 Mary Beth Barone? Wait, where are we going?
20:58 Benito Skinner? Who cares? Ride! I don't feel like that. Well, you know, Mika. All right, go. Sorry about that.
21:11 Mary Beth Barone? Don't. Let me start.
21:15 Mary Beth Barone? So I don't have that much to say.
21:18 Benito Skinner? Oh, really? Well, you just let the moves do the talking.
21:20 Mary Beth Barone? Exactly. Body language. As Ursula once said.
21:24 Benito Skinner? Body language.
21:29 Mary Beth Barone? So the gas leak era has been extended three times, just so everyone knows.
21:35 Speaker 00 The gas leak has landed at the Pacific Design Center. This place about to blow.
21:42 Mary Beth Barone? Speaking of dancing.
21:44 Speaker 00 When Dear Media blows up, it's gonna be me and you walking away in Nurse costume painted as the Joker.
21:55 Speaker 00 Each color of the Pacific Design Center blowing up.
21:59 Mary Beth Barone? The poor other businesses in the building who did nothing wrong.
22:02 Speaker 00 You turn to me and go, "Blue." "Red." We would have gotten everyone out, by the way.
22:09 Mary Beth Barone? Well, yeah, it's just a demolition. They want to put up a new Pacific Design Center and we're helping them out.
22:15 Speaker 00 Of course.
22:16 Mary Beth Barone? So, okay.
22:19 Mary Beth Barone? After reading Mark Ronson's book, which I just can't shut up about.
22:22 Speaker 00 Good.
22:23 Mary Beth Barone? I really found myself feeling nostalgic for those nights when I was in my twenties that you had no plan. You do a pregame at the apartment. You do a little Molly and you just see where the night takes you. And usually it took you somewhere to dance until four in the morning because the bars in New York are open until four. And you would, honestly, it was like a workout, like you were breaking a sweat. Maybe you made out with someone, an MO on the D flow, as we used to call it, make out on the dance floor. You would connect with people, you would lose your phone briefly and then find it.
22:54 Speaker 00 I'm like gyrating in my seat right now, like I'm literally like.
22:56 Mary Beth Barone? You would tell your friends how much you love them. One time I took a shot of whiskey and there was a piece of glass in the liquid, which I put to the top of my roof of my mouth with my tongue. I swallowed the whiskey and I took the glass out and I showed it to the bartender, tiny little piece of glass.
23:09 Speaker 00 And you slit their throat with it?
23:10 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, I did. Then I burned the place to the ground.
23:13 Speaker 00 I'm with Catwoman today at Dear Media.
23:16 Mary Beth Barone? Yes.
23:16 Speaker 00 My lamest joke to date. Hit me.
23:19 Mary Beth Barone? I do have nine lives. I'm running low, though, by the way. We're nearing the end here.
23:24 Benito Skinner? Definitely.
23:25 Mary Beth Barone? So I just have a lot of, I, I wanna dance again.
23:29 Benito Skinner? Can, I'm just so happy to hear you say this. There was a gay night recently that I went to.
23:33 Mary Beth Barone? Gay guy night?
23:34 Benito Skinner? It was gay guy night, literally. And I, like, barely moved my hips, but just even that little gyration, because, you know, my body does do a lot of talking. And I can just, kinda just, it's all hips.
23:45 Mary Beth Barone? I don't think of LA as a big dancing culture.
23:47 Benito Skinner? Well, I wish there was, but there isn't. So I went to this, this gay night downtown with Jordan Firstman, Owen Thiel, Jared Elner, and Terry. The night was structured in a way where it was like, the dancing was just one beat that was playing. And I was like, oh, I kind of sometimes like, for me to really dance, I need like lyrics a little bit.
24:04 Mary Beth Barone? I wanna sing. I wanna dance to Top 40. So this is my big critique of New York right now. So there's a really great dancing spot called Chow Chow in Williamsburg, but every night I've gone there, they play disco, which like, I wanna hear Top 40, I wanna dance to me.
24:19 Benito Skinner? Me, me, me. I wanna dance to Charlie's Angels. I would do Boiler Room Set. If you just play Boiler Room Set.
24:24 Mary Beth Barone? Totally.
24:25 Benito Skinner? I, I'm not asking you to change the club vibe.
24:27 Mary Beth Barone? No.
24:27 Benito Skinner? That's what I want. Just every now and then, I want it to be like,
24:32 Benito Skinner? and I'm like, are they doing Carly Rae? And then they don't play it, but it's just a little bit.
24:35 Mary Beth Barone? Right. I need a little, like, a crumb of it. So I actually got a DM the other night that I didn't see until the next morning. It was Parker, the SoulCycle instructor I'm obsessed with, who is also a DJ. And he had messaged me, do you wanna go out dancing tonight in Williamsburg? I could, I-
24:49 Benito Skinner? That's so Carrie of you.
24:50 Mary Beth Barone? Was so mad. I was so mad in the morning.
24:52 Benito Skinner? Let's go dancing. When she calls all the girls, four-way call.
24:55 Mary Beth Barone? Dayglow underwear and a sheer dress.
24:57 Benito Skinner? I, you took me dancing.
24:59 Mary Beth Barone? What, the $3 bill night?
25:01 Benito Skinner? Yeah, when you did meth.
25:02 Mary Beth Barone? Infamous night when I did meth accidentally. This has been coming up a lot recently.
25:04 Benito Skinner? I, I also think I did meth, in a way.
25:07 Mary Beth Barone? In a way. It was contact high.
25:09 Benito Skinner? It was a contact high. I smoked so many cigs that night. I just felt like a dancing boy.
25:14 Mary Beth Barone? Such a fun night. It went from the best night ever to the worst day ever the next day, because we didn't sleep till 8:00 PM the next day.
25:19 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
25:19 Mary Beth Barone? Anyone who had done the Molly, it was laced with meth. We did not sleep. I had to cancel opening for George Caveras because I was like way too
25:25 Benito Skinner? Oh, yeah.
25:26 Mary Beth Barone? and upset.
25:27 Benito Skinner? You got me so fucked up that night that the next day I cried at the Ralph Lauren documentary on a flight home. So.
25:33 Mary Beth Barone? Do without what you will.
25:34 Benito Skinner? Just think about that, you guys. But here's the thing. I'm so, oh, yeah. So at this gay night, it was tiered. So it was like the dancing was only to one beat. Then there was a darkroom if, you know, you wanted to get into that.
25:43 Mary Beth Barone? Right.
25:44 Benito Skinner? And then there was a massage area. So a woman was giving chair massages. So that's where I was.
25:48 Mary Beth Barone? So that's very LA to me.
25:51 Benito Skinner? Yeah, but it was great. And like she, it was so funny. She gave me her card at the end of it and was like, you're so tense. And I'm like, well, yeah, like I'm out right now.
25:58 Mary Beth Barone? Right. You're you're socializing in LA.
26:00 Benito Skinner? It's weird to be like, kind of drunk as fuck and get a massage. It kind of doesn't feel good. But I, it was like, you know, I don't know. Just that night I was promised dancing and I didn't necessarily get it. But I'm dying to feel the sweat.
26:15 Mary Beth Barone? Let's go dancing in New York, maybe, when you're there. If anyone knows good dancing spots, please let us know. Either start a Reddit thread or you could just reach out directly. But I want to dance and I just want it to be songs that I know and maybe some like 90s songs, maybe some totally like, you know, current stuff. But I do want to reiterate, I wasn't going to clubs like Marquee and One Oak. Obviously, I went to those a few times, but not regularly. These were clubs in the East Village where there was like a basement. There was one called Ella that shut down. And it was just such a good vibe in there. It was sort of like 50s diner vibes, but without the booths.
26:46 Benito Skinner? Do you remember Elvis Guest House?
26:48 Mary Beth Barone? No.
26:49 Benito Skinner? Is it? I think it was Elvis Guest House. They had that like one backroom that was so Instagram because it was like a wall of flowers, like fake flowers.
26:55 Mary Beth Barone? I don't remember that.
26:56 Benito Skinner? And everyone would like, kind of, that would, that'd be where they'd launch their relationships with like a photo of them.
27:00 Mary Beth Barone? Whoa.
27:00 Benito Skinner? Yeah, it was crazy. First, like, gay romance photo I posted was at Elvis Guest House. But yeah, that, oh, my God, I remember going there and it was like the best music and you're just sweating so much.
27:10 Mary Beth Barone? I know. I just want to let loose.
27:11 Benito Skinner? You know that middle part where the sweat looks good? I love that part.
27:14 Mary Beth Barone? If you take photos at the end of the night, at one of those nights,
27:17 Benito Skinner? A ghoul.
27:17 Mary Beth Barone? it can be really scary.
27:18 Benito Skinner? Oh, my God. So I did go dancing with the boys in Paris a little bit. Rich sent me a photo of
27:23 Mary Beth Barone? You went dancing with Adam and Rich.
27:25 Benito Skinner? Well, Adam went home early and then Rich and I were kind of like there for a little bit, but then.
27:29 Mary Beth Barone? I cannot, I just picture this.
27:31 Benito Skinner? Oh, well, yeah, it's just Rich and I kind of.
27:33 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
27:33 Benito Skinner? Well, you've seen it in the show. That's kind of that. We're just like, it's a little shoulder movement. It's like, it's fun. And this one photo of me, I was like, who else has access to this? Was like, um, you know, when you see a photo of yourself, you just immediately are like, hi. It was like. The sun had never seen me and I-
27:53 Mary Beth Barone? Sickly. I think sickly.
27:54 Benito Skinner? Disgusting.
27:54 Mary Beth Barone? I'm gonna post a dump on Ride the Pod of the Meth Night. So you could see us at our high highs.
27:59 Benito Skinner? God, I-
28:00 Mary Beth Barone? We had so much fun.
28:01 Benito Skinner? In my head, like, it was cute.
28:03 Mary Beth Barone? It was cute. I had a cute outfit. We looked really cute.
28:05 Benito Skinner? I remember a really tight shirt.
28:07 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
28:07 Benito Skinner? I was like, you know what? Fuck it, we're dancing. Fuck it, we ball. Did I tell you I wanna say that more?
28:12 Mary Beth Barone? No.
28:12 Benito Skinner? Fuck it, we ball.
28:13 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, cool. I'm so on board with that, by the way.
28:15 Benito Skinner? It has the best sentiment to it. Like, fuck it. Like, fuck it all, we ball.
28:18 Mary Beth Barone? Mm-hmm.
28:18 Benito Skinner? You know?
28:19 Mary Beth Barone? I danced a lot when I went to Glastonbury, which I don't know if I could ever go back to, cuz I almost died. And I will tell the story of doing stand-up comedy in the VIP tent on a Saturday on a come down, but not right now.
28:30 Benito Skinner? And who was in the tent? Give them a taste, cuz that's-
28:33 Mary Beth Barone? Tilda Swinton.
28:34 Benito Skinner? Yeah, that's- see, you don't know the story until you know that.
28:36 Mary Beth Barone? But there were a lot of other people there, too.
28:38 Benito Skinner? Oh, I thought she was laughing.
28:40 Mary Beth Barone? One day I'll get into it on the pod here. But I just miss dancing. I would love to go dance with you. And I just wanna like, yeah, just let loose on the dance floor and have fun. I don't know.
28:49 Benito Skinner? Harmony Tivedad is the best DJ in Los Angeles.
28:53 Mary Beth Barone? I would go anywhere she is.
28:55 Benito Skinner? It's literally Alex Chapman, Harmony Tivedad. If they're on, and oh my god, you need to go to a gag night. Alex Chapman.
29:02 Mary Beth Barone? In New York?
29:03 Benito Skinner? Yeah. Alex and Zoe, they put on- I was on the mic for like two seconds before they played Abracadabra, like, kind of exactly when I should be on mic.
29:10 Mary Beth Barone? Right, right.
29:11 Benito Skinner? And it was just fab- that hits. You need the gays and the girlies to decide the music.
29:16 Mary Beth Barone? And once they're on the dance floor, it's like everyone else has permission to get out there. But I also wanna say no shade to disco. I just can't, I don't have the type of rhythm.
29:23 Benito Skinner? And dear media, clip that. Hey, no shade to disco.
29:26 Mary Beth Barone? No shade to disco. I don't have the rhythm to really dance that. I need it to be sort of like-
29:30 Benito Skinner? I know.
29:31 Mary Beth Barone? Where I could put my hands up in the air.
29:33 Benito Skinner? Clear blue. It's just like, I just need a- I need a couple lyrics to like find my footing.
29:37 Mary Beth Barone? Oh my god, Dream Baby. Did you ever go to Dream Baby in the East Village?
29:40 Benito Skinner? I think I might have, actually.
29:41 Mary Beth Barone? I got kicked out of there multiple times for dancing on furniture.
29:44 Benito Skinner? Give me right now. That'd be me in the back of it.
29:46 Mary Beth Barone? Me dancing on Thomas Google at the premiere.
29:48 Benito Skinner? Oh, my god.
29:49 Mary Beth Barone? If we get renewed for season two, we will post that video. I have a crush on a gay man.
29:56 Mary Beth Barone? He is married to a man.
29:57 Benito Skinner? So Mary Beth has a crush on a gay man and his boyfriend texts me the morning after the premiere, nothing, just the video of Mary Beth going, I think it's a party for you. And it's literally Mary Beth doing a full body roll, which you've never done on me.
30:15 Mary Beth Barone? I used to give lap dances like to buy you a drink to Jake all the time at parties. Cause it was just like a safe space, but like I can do some shit like that.
30:22 Benito Skinner? I love when you get drunk, when you and I are drunk together, it's like, come on, the world is like totally ours.
30:27 Mary Beth Barone? It hasn't happened that many times.
30:29 Benito Skinner? No.
30:30 Mary Beth Barone? We need to fix that. It's just because I feel like when we are together, we just stay home.
30:34 Benito Skinner? Yeah, like tonight, it's goop kitchen. It's my signature goop. Dancing is everything to me. I've been really wanting to take a class and I think I found this instructor. I'll tell you guys about it. Once I do it to do, I'm a slave for you choreo. I just want to be like, I want a bunch of people at the playground kind of going woo. And then I come out and I'm like, I'm, you know, I've got.
30:52 Mary Beth Barone? Step up to the streets.
30:53 Benito Skinner? Jeans on, boom.
30:54 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah. Sorry, I can't clear my throat. It's just the type of day we're having.
30:58 Benito Skinner? Oh my God, wait, I kind of danced, I kind of danced throughout the college tour. There were some like, you know, some of the bars and stuff, they were playing music. I don't know. I'm just thinking of when I've like been dancing.
31:07 Mary Beth Barone? Don't lie.
31:08 Benito Skinner? It's like, there's so much restriction. I just want to like let loose. I want to show everyone that I am honey. Hey, it's Benny.

34:56 Mary Beth Barone? Let's talk about pop stars talking in songs. How did you put it so eloquently?
35:00 Benito Skinner? Okay, so-
35:01 Mary Beth Barone? What's the title of this one gonna be?
35:03 Benito Skinner? Pop Stars Talking in Songs.
35:05 Mary Beth Barone? Cool.
35:05 Benito Skinner? And here's the thing, I think this is actually one that's like, oh, well, of course, you love this, but I think some of mine are different than other people's.
35:13 Mary Beth Barone? And some people really don't like this.
35:15 Benito Skinner? Yeah, some people hate this. I find that every time it's there, it tickles my brain. So I wrote a bunch of examples. So this just means kind of any pop diva in the middle of a song, they hit you with a, "I can't believe I'm telling you this, but I've had a couple of drinks and, oh my god," which is my favorite of all time, and that's Lady Gaga in Sex Dreams. That came out when I was in the closet. And to hear that little riff the first time-
35:39 Mary Beth Barone? That hurts.
35:40 Benito Skinner? "I can't believe I'm telling you this, but I've had a couple of drinks and, oh my god." It's just like, it's as good as anything could ever be. So that's one of my favorites. Sabrina in kind of every song she's made is the note I made here. She's kind of always like, [BLEEP], you know, in a funny way, but it's like-
35:54 Mary Beth Barone? Well, and to me, it's always like, "So you're Brad Pitt."
35:57 Benito Skinner? It's so, "So you're Brad Pitt."
35:58 Mary Beth Barone? But all of Sabrina's are like that, and that's complimentary.
36:01 Benito Skinner? Of course, and I love it so much. Does she do one in Man Child? She does. It's like, Okay, how does it start or something? Like, I love when it's at the start. I think that's so fun. Beyonce has really theatrical ones.
36:13 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, I mean, yeah.
36:14 Benito Skinner? Because they always. Oh, how I've missed you, my love. That one, to me, I get goosebumps.
36:20 Mary Beth Barone? That almost gave me goosebumps.
36:21 Benito Skinner? I know. I also love when she says, you know, all these songs sound good. That one kills me. I would love to hear any Renaissance in the club. I would literally just like. But, you know, all these songs sound good. I love that.
36:39 Mary Beth Barone? The one that always jumps out to me is the old Taylor. You can't come to the phone right now.
36:42 Benito Skinner? I was.
36:43 Mary Beth Barone? She's dead.
36:43 Benito Skinner? On my list, of course.
36:44 Mary Beth Barone? Sorry, I didn't want to jump the gun, but.
36:46 Benito Skinner? There's a few Taylor ones, like, I think she does one, and I forgot that you existed. I mean, I cannot wait. I just hope this opens the floodgates for all of you to just tell us all the ones you love, because there's just so many. Charlie has a few that are unexpected. She has this one that's on How I'm Feeling Now. She's like, you know, it's like, yeah, you know, it's just like, it's a, you know, do you have, do you know what I'm talking about? Where she's like, it just feels like a really thing to go through alone. I think it's on.
37:13 Mary Beth Barone? On the deluxe?
37:14 Benito Skinner? No, it's on How I'm Feeling Now, and it's like a voicemail, which is kind of its own category, but I call it talking in songs.
37:21 Mary Beth Barone? Comes into the mix, and she's using voice notes from, I believe, her mother or grandmother.
37:25 Benito Skinner? And Frank is his mom for the Facebook one, so, yeah, but, yeah, where she goes, it's like, huh, it's like. Well, I'm kind of giving Kate Moss.
37:32 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, I love it.
37:33 Benito Skinner? Have you ever heard my Kate Moss?
37:34 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, I think, I mean.
37:35 Benito Skinner? It's not bad.
37:36 Mary Beth Barone? No, I love that it's in your arsenal.
37:39 Benito Skinner? Yeah, Kate's always there. I'm waiting to drop that on a big, on a big show.
37:43 Mary Beth Barone? Totally.
37:44 Benito Skinner? But, yeah, I'm trying to think of, I think it's on How I'm Feeling Now. I'm just like, I think, oh, it's on Enemy, where she's like.
37:49 Mary Beth Barone? Wait, sorry, I was thinking of Crash. I was thinking of Crash.
37:52 Benito Skinner? She's like, like, it hurts, like, yeah.
37:54 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
37:54 Benito Skinner? It's like, yeah. And then it's, maybe you're my enemy. I'm a. Give me the.
38:00 Mary Beth Barone? No.
38:01 Benito Skinner? God. So I love Charlie doing that. Can I just say three things to you? Charlie, Caroline, Chris. I wish that that was in the intro for.
38:10 Mary Beth Barone? Charlie, Caroline, Chris.
38:11 Benito Skinner? Can I say something to you right now? Charlie, Caroline, Chris. So, all this to say that all the icons and legends have done this.
38:21 Benito Skinner? A new darling of talking in pop songs has landed. She has emerged. Miss Addison Rae. Now just drop the Rae. It's cleaner.
38:32 Mary Beth Barone? It's cleaner. I thought you were gonna say chapel.
38:35 Benito Skinner? Chapel does.
38:35 Mary Beth Barone? Come on, girls.
38:36 Benito Skinner? Oh, wait, wait chapel, but still chapel feels less. I guess she does have some talking. And then there's this.
38:42 Speaker 00 You know what they say? Never waste a Friday night on the first date.
38:46 Benito Skinner? Period.
38:47 Speaker 00 There I was, in my heels with my hair straight.
38:50 Benito Skinner? Seriously.
38:52 Benito Skinner? Yeah. What the hell? Oh, my God.
38:59 Benito Skinner? Oh, my God.
39:00 Mary Beth Barone? I just got chills because you know what? This just reminded me of.
39:02 Benito Skinner? What?
39:05 Mary Beth Barone? I'm at the Soho House.
39:07 Benito Skinner? Oh, us.
39:08 Mary Beth Barone? We do it.
39:09 Benito Skinner? Wait, we are the reference in our, in our hot debut track, which we toured. Do you, I mean, we had an international tour of that song.
39:16 Mary Beth Barone? We did.
39:16 Benito Skinner? Soho House.
39:17 Mary Beth Barone? Just the one song.
39:18 Benito Skinner? We need to release it just it's, you know.
39:19 Mary Beth Barone? I want to.
39:20 Benito Skinner? Yeah. Actually, maybe we'll just put it at the end of this episode for people who haven't heard it.
39:24 Mary Beth Barone? Because it's at the end of an episode from season one, but we don't know which one, which is cool.
39:28 Benito Skinner? We could never know.
39:28 Mary Beth Barone? So we'll put it at this one, too.
39:29 Benito Skinner? I just broke the fourth wall.
39:30 Mary Beth Barone? I've been doing it a couple of times.
39:31 Benito Skinner? Shit. OK, so Addison. And dear media, clip that. She has electrified me. The way she talks in a pop song. My mom always told me, never trust me. I have to play it for you. It's just too.
39:50 Mary Beth Barone? I know, I may be young, but I got feelings, too.
39:53 Benito Skinner? Wait.
39:53 Mary Beth Barone? What I need to do, just do it.
39:56 Benito Skinner? How did I?
39:56 Mary Beth Barone? All your people look at me.
39:57 Benito Skinner? How did I skip Britney? Am I OK? This is a story about a girl named Lucky. I mean, it's the first time anyone has ever talked in a pop song. Period. Obviously, Britney and now Addison. Addison has this song that's called Money is Everything. Us in our Dyson debate.
40:15 Mary Beth Barone? And Addison's sale.
40:17 Benito Skinner? Who cares? Come on, let's have some fun.
40:19 Mary Beth Barone? We're having fun.
40:20 Benito Skinner? This, I don't even want to mimic it because I just, I want you to hear it for yourself because this is exactly what I'm talking about. And if you don't love this, that's crazy to me.
40:34 Mary Beth Barone? It's this.
40:36 Benito Skinner? It's an ice cube down your neck.
40:48 Mary Beth Barone? Tea spilled, though.
40:49 Benito Skinner? No, I know. Come with me to heaven. No, I have a lot of it. So, can a girl just have fun? Can a girl have fun? And then at the very end, are you ready? Because it goes from there into how me is this? Me at the premiere of Overcompensating?
41:10 Benito Skinner? Mama Jean, see you, baby, don't laugh.
41:15 Mary Beth Barone? Whoa, this goes kinda hard.
41:18 Benito Skinner? Oh, I'm the richest girl in the world. Money loves me, I'm the richest girl in the world. And then, I love a
41:25 Mary Beth Barone? Right.
41:26 Benito Skinner? So, I love it. It's just delicious. It's like, it's something, I don't know, it feels like personal.
41:32 Mary Beth Barone? It's playing with form.
41:33 Benito Skinner? Well, of course, it's playing with form and its duality, but there's something about just like, it's a little wink and a smile. It's breaking the fourth wall in a lot of ways.
41:39 Mary Beth Barone? It is, and it's speaking directly to the reader.
41:41 Benito Skinner? Well, it's speaking directly to
41:42 Mary Beth Barone? You, dear reader.
41:43 Benito Skinner? It's to homosexuals.
41:44 Mary Beth Barone? Exactly.
41:45 Benito Skinner? I know that it's being like, we have to wink at these fuckers, or else they're gonna freak out. You know what you are, Mary Beth?
41:51 Mary Beth Barone? Bisexual?
41:52 Benito Skinner? Well, yeah. But you're also my ride or die. Ride or die.
41:57 Mary Beth Barone? I ride for pop stars talking in songs.
42:02 Benito Skinner? Oh, you're already going there? Oh, you're going in?
42:03 Mary Beth Barone? Well, we have to, kinda.
42:05 Benito Skinner? I don't speak German, but I can if you like. I think that's the last one. And then, I'll just keep
42:08 Mary Beth Barone? No, you know what reminds me of you? When Lady Gaga goes, "Can you go a little faster?"
42:14 Benito Skinner? How?
42:15 Mary Beth Barone? That one is so you to me.
42:18 Benito Skinner? John Wayne?
42:19 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
42:19 Benito Skinner? It's like, you know me better than I know myself.
42:22 Mary Beth Barone? We're getting there.
42:22 Benito Skinner? It's just like, I just wanna be on the back of a "Can you go a little faster?"
42:28 Mary Beth Barone? So I ride for playing with form.
42:31 Benito Skinner? Oh, I, by the way, I had a B12 shot today, so I feel like I did.
42:34 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, that's why. Okay, that's why this is all making a lot more sense.
42:37 Benito Skinner? Yeah, I forgot to tell you.
42:38 Mary Beth Barone? I like when people are told, hey, you have to do this thing one way, and then they say, well, I'm gonna flip the script. So it's a song, it's for singing, but actually, here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna talk. And you're gonna fucking deal with it.
42:48 Benito Skinner? Hey, is the mic still on? Did you get that last part?
42:50 Mary Beth Barone? Did you get that?
42:51 Benito Skinner? Cause I think you're gonna want it. Oh, I love this one.
42:53 Mary Beth Barone? Put the fucking mic on.
42:54 Benito Skinner? You know what's a good one is Lana in A and W. She goes, oh my god. I love that sound. Okay, keep going.
43:00 Mary Beth Barone? I just think it's cool to creatively express yourself, just like we do on this podcast.
43:04 Benito Skinner? I agree.
43:05 Mary Beth Barone? And sometimes, like, just doing it through one medium is not enough, so you need to add a little spoken word. And so I love pop, you know, I love girl singers. I was actually thinking, guys singers could take a few years off. I think we've heard enough. And I would just love to make more room for girl singers. And it just all sort of ties back to that, except Bon Iver, of course, because he is somewhat girls.
43:25 Benito Skinner? Justin Vernon is somewhat girls. He doesn't count. I'm not even gonna say I ride for dancing, because that would be just too, it would minimize something that means the world to me. I've been dancing since I was a little kid. I think there's only one way to end this.
43:37 Mary Beth Barone? In a gay way, too.
43:38 Benito Skinner? And I just want, how about you and your guy just dance to a song together right now?
43:43 Mary Beth Barone? Let's do it.
43:43 Benito Skinner? In our chairs.
43:47 Benito Skinner? Come on!
43:49 Mary Beth Barone? And you'll see, I don't have rhythm. I'm better when I'm a little bit buzzed.
43:55 Benito Skinner? Everybody, listen to Romy Mars right now. We'll probably get flagged for this. We demonetized.
44:02 Mary Beth Barone? He's sober.
44:03 Benito Skinner? We're just gonna get through the first chorus.
44:07 Benito Skinner? Oh my god.
44:08 Mary Beth Barone? You can dance while sitting down, that's what they don't tell you.
44:12 Benito Skinner? All American. Mom and dad, us.
44:17 Mary Beth Barone? This song came out three days ago.
44:21 Benito Skinner? Us. In the meantime. I know all the words.
44:27 Benito Skinner? No, maybe I don't. Oh, yeah, I don't. Ready? So close your eyes, if this is my body's ego, we can go all night long, if it's not about me. Though if you wanna meet up in a night, you are to my waist.
44:44 Speaker 03 Look in my face. My body's a mood. My tongue.
44:50 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, and I have so.
44:51 Speaker 03 I go up and down like you.
44:54 Mary Beth Barone? The dancing should reflect the lyrics.
44:56 Speaker 03 Of course. Well, of course, always. I take my clothes off.
45:01 Mary Beth Barone? Thank you, guys. We love you. Hey, dance. What did we do in the hotel room in Montreal? We put on Hannah Montana and we danced.
45:12 Speaker 03 Dance.
