0:18 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.
0:26 Mary Beth Barone? So fun. I just wanna have fun. Start your engine. Tight.
0:30 Benito Skinner? I'm Benito Skinner.
0:31 Mary Beth Barone? I'm Mary Beth Barone.
0:32 Benito Skinner? And this
0:33 Mary Beth Barone? is
0:34 Benito Skinner? Ride.
0:38 Benito Skinner? Come on, Kirkplug!
0:39 Mary Beth Barone? Aww.
0:40 Benito Skinner? We're not talking about that on here, but also just welcome to the encyclopedias.
0:43 Mary Beth Barone? Welcome to the encyclopedias. We're recording, so the bulk of this episode is going to be something we recorded a couple of years ago when we wanted to just have a resource. It works cited in a lot of ways of just like what the things we say mean, cuz it's so much brain rot. So we did two episodes. We thought it would fit in one, but it ended up being two episodes, Encyclopedia of Ride Part One and Encyclopedia of Ride Part Two. I'm sure our voices sound a little different. We've matured. We've had a coming of age since then, and we recorded those in Texas, if I recall correctly, in Austin, Texas.
1:13 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
1:14 Mary Beth Barone? It's a rerun, but hopefully you'll enjoy the walk down memory lane and things that like maybe you've even forgot about.
1:19 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
1:20 Mary Beth Barone? And things we've even forgot about.
1:21 Benito Skinner? Yeah, and maybe things that we haven't brought up in a long time, but if you're kind of starting from the beginning, I think it probably would be helpful.
1:26 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, a new era I wanna announce just before the end of the year. As we look into 2026 and we're thinking about interactions with people.
1:32 Benito Skinner? Of course.
1:33 Mary Beth Barone? What I'm gonna do this year is I'm gonna go, if someone says something to me that's completely like out of pocket, I'm gonna go, why would you say that to me?
1:41 Benito Skinner? No, oh my God, I have chills. You know that I did that this week.
1:44 Mary Beth Barone? I know. Sometimes you don't know that. Before I fall asleep, I'm rerunning all of the things that we've said to each other.
1:49 Benito Skinner? Good, me too.
1:50 Mary Beth Barone? That day, week, month, year.
1:51 Benito Skinner? Wait, me too.
1:52 Mary Beth Barone? And I thought about you saying that to someone, and I thought, we need to be reacting like that more.
1:57 Benito Skinner? You know how not me that is, too.
1:58 Mary Beth Barone? I know.
1:59 Benito Skinner? It was shocking, but I just had this moment.
2:00 Mary Beth Barone? People shouldn't be able to get away with anything and everything.
2:02 Benito Skinner? I had walked 20 blocks and I felt incredible, and I was blasting Sky Ferrera, and I was just like, you've ruined that for me, so I have to bring this up. Like, this is insane behavior.
2:12 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
2:12 Benito Skinner? It was great. I felt really powerful after.
2:14 Mary Beth Barone? Someone says something and you just go... Also, there was an interaction I had this year where I just wish I had called out in the moment what was happening instead of thinking about it and it weighing on my soul and spirit for months to come.
2:24 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
2:24 Mary Beth Barone? And I just wish I said like, "You're being weird to me right now." And I don't know why, I'm gonna leave, but like, it's weird and you're making me feel weird and you're making me feel bad about myself.
2:32 Benito Skinner? Yeah, I would go through a breakup and then have interactions with people after and you'll find that pretty consistently you want to go, "The fuck is going on right now?"
2:38 Mary Beth Barone? I go, "What's happening right now?"
2:40 Benito Skinner? Hey, "The fuck is going on?"
2:41 Mary Beth Barone? So that's maybe something you're gonna hear a little more.
2:43 Benito Skinner? Yes.
2:44 Mary Beth Barone? In Ride 26.
2:46 Benito Skinner? Duddy is obviously not included in this, but...
2:49 Mary Beth Barone? Well, of course. Or this chick woke up in my house.
2:50 Benito Skinner? Can I just say?
2:52 Mary Beth Barone? Thank you!
2:53 Benito Skinner? Duddy appreciates all the love, all the support. She's going hog wild.
2:59 Mary Beth Barone? Aspire to inspire.
3:00 Benito Skinner? Next year, yeah. But yeah, obviously, Kama Kama Plunk isn't in this. If you don't know what that means, it doesn't mean anything. It just was inspired by someone taking a shit and I said that.
3:08 Mary Beth Barone? In your presence.
3:09 Benito Skinner? Toxic positivity, I would say.
3:11 Mary Beth Barone? Radical honesty in 2026.
3:14 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
3:14 Mary Beth Barone? And maybe that means narrating your friend taking a shit in front of you.
3:17 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
3:18 Mary Beth Barone? So enjoy the encyclopedia of Ride and all I can say is, "Whish." Wait, where are we going?
3:23 Benito Skinner? Who cares? Ride! First, there was Galileo.
3:29 Mary Beth Barone? Then there was Plato.
3:31 Benito Skinner? Then, there was Shakespeare.
3:34 Mary Beth Barone? And then there was Ride the Pod.
3:36 Benito Skinner? Yeah!
3:36 Mary Beth Barone? Whoa.
3:38 Benito Skinner? So, we've come to... We've come to an interesting crossroads. We know that there have been a lot of episodes of this fabulous show. I mean, what a year, kid.
3:49 Mary Beth Barone? It's been an amazing year and so much of that is due to our incredible listeners, the Baronies, who we love so much and we're so thankful for every day. We are truly grateful every single day.
4:00 Benito Skinner? Oh, every single... It's the first thing. It's what I pray to every night.
4:03 Mary Beth Barone? Every night. And since we have this growing family, I mean, we have more kids than ever. We decided that it might be good, per Marshall's suggestion, to have an episode where we go through all the terminology and inside jokes that we have on this podcast, just in case anybody does want to start in the middle, which we don't advise. We think it's really, really dangerous.
4:24 Benito Skinner? Because we knew how this will end once we started. Like, it's very fuck you, JK, but it's very Harry Potter.
4:30 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, yeah, we have the full arc sort of planned out already.
4:32 Benito Skinner? I think she lied about that, too.
4:34 Mary Beth Barone? She lied about a lot of stuff.
4:35 Benito Skinner? Oh, you saw the ends? Yeah.
4:38 Mary Beth Barone? I see your end, sister.
4:39 Benito Skinner? You knew Order of the Phoenix was gonna be that bad? Yeah, Joe, I'm giving you notes now.
4:45 Mary Beth Barone? I stopped in the middle of book three. And that's how big of an ally I am to the trans community.
4:50 Benito Skinner? Seriously.
4:51 Mary Beth Barone? I stopped reading the middle of book three. So fuck you, JK is actually a good place to start.
4:57 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
4:57 Mary Beth Barone? And Turf Hogwarts.
4:58 Benito Skinner? Oh, my god, Turf Hogwarts.
5:00 Mary Beth Barone? So this is the Encyclopedia of Ride.
5:02 Benito Skinner? Welcome to the Encyclopedia of Ride. We're assuming only straight guys are listening to this, so hey.
5:07 Mary Beth Barone? Welcome, waters warm.
5:08 Benito Skinner? Oh, yeah, what's up, dude?
5:12 Benito Skinner? Yeah. Wait, okay, so what this episode will be is just, we're gonna say as many, and I know we're gonna forget some stuff, so we can always do another one of these.
5:22 Mary Beth Barone? We'll do a part two.
5:23 Benito Skinner? But maybe some things it's good to just have for us, do you know what I mean?
5:27 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, just for the lifers. So Turf Hogwarts came out of a reference to JK. Obviously, we don't support JK and her beliefs about anything, really. I mean, I don't know what else she believes in, but I know that I don't agree.
5:41 Benito Skinner? If this is her hot take on the trans community, then I'm good.
5:45 Mary Beth Barone? I'm good on the rest of it, so.
5:47 Benito Skinner? I'm checking out of Nocturne Alley, whatever the fuck it is.
5:51 Mary Beth Barone? So now we call it Turf Hogwarts.
5:53 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
5:53 Mary Beth Barone? And you like to say not to bring up Turf Hogwarts, but, so that's how, you can use it in a sentence. And we'll give those examples for each thing.
6:00 Benito Skinner? Yeah, if I'm gonna bring up Harry Potter, which obviously it's a huge part of culture, there's no denying that, it's just important to say not to bring up Turf Hogwarts.
6:09 Mary Beth Barone? But.
6:10 Benito Skinner? Because I'm not condoning Miss Joe. I know you're listening, Joe.
6:14 Mary Beth Barone? And Joe is actually the opposite of our next term, which is taika.
6:18 Benito Skinner? Taika, taika watidhi.
6:21 Mary Beth Barone? Taika is one of the originals.
6:22 Benito Skinner? Taika, I guess we should maybe start with phaita and then it turned into taika.
6:27 Mary Beth Barone? Taika.
6:28 Benito Skinner? So phaita, it started with us saying phaita, the good phaita. I am phaita, the good phaita. Phaita came from, actually, this is a lot of origin. This is kind of Latin. So I don't know if anyone's taken Latin. This is gonna be our Latin episode.
6:44 Mary Beth Barone? It's etymology.
6:45 Benito Skinner? Yes. I kept saying, I'm fighting the good fight. I will fight the good fight. And then for some reason, with how my mouth was moving, I just started saying, I will phaita, the good phaita. And it, it was, still hits today as it did that day.
7:03 Mary Beth Barone? It took me a second to sort of like, understand. It grew on me.
7:07 Benito Skinner? No, I know.
7:08 Mary Beth Barone? At first I was skeptical, but then, then there was one time that I heard it where I go, oh, okay, that makes sense.
7:13 Benito Skinner? Yeah, you went, oh my god.
7:16 Mary Beth Barone? Oh my god.
7:16 Benito Skinner? What a mind.
7:17 Mary Beth Barone? What a mind. This happens all the time. So from phaita, we then move into taika.
7:22 Benito Skinner? Taika. So I started saying, I will phaita, the good phaita. I will baper, the good baper. I will dake, the good dake. And then I said, I will take a watidhi. So taika.
7:34 Mary Beth Barone? It's an adjective.
7:35 Benito Skinner? Oh my god, it's an adjective.
7:36 Mary Beth Barone? Taika's an adjective. If you've been to Ride Live, we go through it in depth. But basically taika, it's, it's irreverent, it's playful, it's not always good.
7:45 Benito Skinner? No.
7:45 Mary Beth Barone? And it's subjective.
7:46 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
7:47 Mary Beth Barone? So taika just means, like, something's taika. I don't know. It's like, you just can tell when it is and when it isn't.
7:51 Benito Skinner? You can just tell, like, it's just like so obvious.
7:55 Mary Beth Barone? Things that are taika, the heptapods. Gender neutral bathrooms.
7:59 Benito Skinner? Yep.
8:00 Mary Beth Barone? The Soho House. Do you see, it's just...
8:03 Benito Skinner? No, it can be like, totally.
8:05 Mary Beth Barone? It's just a lot of things. It's everything, everywhere, all at once.
8:08 Benito Skinner? It's really hard to explain, but like, when you get it, you get it. So we're just not gonna say more than that. It's like, that's so taika.
8:14 Mary Beth Barone? That's so taika. So think about it.
8:17 Benito Skinner? And when we say, were you scared? I was really scared, is from America's Next Top Model.
8:22 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, that is a Tyra Banks quote.
8:23 Benito Skinner? Yeah, so that's also a part of the encyclopedia as well.
8:26 Mary Beth Barone? I think that's cheating is important to bring up. So this was a, a ride that you did.
8:31 Benito Skinner? Yes. So this was from The New Rules of Cheating, dated back a couple of months. I'm not sure which book this was from, but probably Genesis.
8:40 Mary Beth Barone? Probably. If I know you, it's Genesis.
8:42 Benito Skinner? Genesis. So I'm sure a lot of the straight men listening, this is probably the point where their ears are perking up because they've heard this a lot from their lovers. I described the new rules of cheating, which it's not exactly what you think it is. It's not just your classic sexual infidelity.
9:01 Mary Beth Barone? In fact, it's anything but.
9:02 Benito Skinner? It's everything except, I would say. That's just the tip of the iceberg for cheating. All the things below the waterline, that's what I'm talking about. So if you've ever had an ex that's cheating on your current partner, if you've had sex before, also cheating. If you're going to dinner with someone from your past that knew your ex is cheating. So, you know, you see, there are just so many ways to betray your partner. And I really wanted to alert the masses to this.
9:32 Mary Beth Barone? And let them know that you could be getting a lot more gifts out of your partner's actions.
9:35 Benito Skinner? A lot more gifts and you yourself might be a rampant cheater.
9:39 Mary Beth Barone? That's so true.
9:40 Benito Skinner? Cause he knows I'm unfaithful and it kills him inside. To know that I am happy when someone's gone. I can see him crying. So that's Unfaithful by Rihanna.
9:56 Mary Beth Barone? Audio Jungle.
9:57 Benito Skinner? See an Audio Jungle. That gets us into our next bit, which is Audio Jungle, which Mary Beth is the woman who says Audio Jungle on the royalty free music library website, audiojungle.net.
10:10 Mary Beth Barone? Audiojungle.net.
10:13 Benito Skinner? That's like, we're not gonna explain that.
10:14 Mary Beth Barone? No, it's just like, sometimes you're just talking and it's like, Audio Jungle.
10:19 Benito Skinner? Or if you're singing something, it's like, I don't know the rights and I don't want people to think we've licensed these songs.
10:24 Mary Beth Barone? We haven't.
10:24 Benito Skinner? We're not gonna take that on. So we have to say, Audio Jungle.
10:29 Mary Beth Barone? Audio Jungle.
10:32 Benito Skinner? Looks like it's daddy daughter time. I'm doing the ads alone this week.
10:37 Benito Skinner? Mary Beth somehow, some way got me to do these alone. Usually I make her do them alone because men get paid less on the dollar. Okay, so let's get to it. Bonza. Should I be so insane in these? Maybe I should. It's so early and I'm in a hotel. I love you all so much. So Bonza. Bonza is this thing. They've got this new brown rice pasta. It's better than any other gluten free pasta on the market. And I really believe that. I'm on a gluten free journey right now for my skin. Really no other reason. And it's kind of working. I hate to say it, but Bonza, it's not that gluten free pasta where it kind of like is like mush. You know what I mean? It's like the sponge. It's not that. So it's a gluten free pasta that tastes just like the real thing. Oh my God, it's so good. And no more mushy gluten free pasta.
11:22 Benito Skinner? It holds up beautifully as leftovers reheated. Or if you need to meal prep, I love when guys say that they're meal prepping. Like that's just, that's amazing. Like to think that far ahead. It's made in Italy. Okay. With just two ingredients, brown rice and chickpeas. You can find it at major retailers like Whole Foods, Target, Thrive Market and more.

I love you kids. I'll see you in the next ad. Who knows what I'm gonna say today? So, Her is the only dating app actually built for Suffix by Suffix. That is a collection of words I bet you never thought I'd say. Well, here we are. And it feels really fucking good. Her is perfect for winter restart season. Cold weather, loneliness, tuffing, coming out of hibernation, trying again, wiping the slate clean. Her isn't just swiping, it's a real queer community.
12:45 Benito Skinner? IRL dating and queer community events, vibes, red flags, green flags, profile prompts, personality forward. I love that this is what girl on girl is. Guy on guy apps are, I would say, completely different from this in every single way. So I love to see this. And just for anyone who doesn't know what sapphic means, sapphism is an umbrella term for women loving women, any woman attracted to women or in a relationship with another woman, regardless of their sexual orientations, and encompassing the romantic love between women. So I'm just gonna say, download Her if you're looking to kind of have a fresh start this next year. Meet a lady that maybe will rock your world, maybe you'll get married, maybe you'll date for a month and hate each other for the rest of your lives. Like, who's really to say?
13:29 Benito Skinner? But might as well put yourself out there and let's put ourselves out there in a safe and gorgeous way in the new year and really just say what we want, okay? I think we can do all of that on Her. I won't be on there. Mary Beth will be, but you'll all be in my hearts as you do it. So I love you so much. Try Her this winter. It's sapphic reset season, and I've always said that.

15:50 Benito Skinner? The same reaction of I got stabbed and this person wore this outfit on a red carpet. Exact same. There's actually no difference. Someone got a bad haircut and someone's been mutilated. Same experience.
16:04 Mary Beth Barone? Someone's house burned down.
16:05 Benito Skinner? Someone's literal, everything they own burnt to a crisp, burnt to crispy bacon. Same thing. Oh my god. And I'm like, what could possibly have happened? And then, oh my god, I just went viral. Just kind of came from that.
16:19 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
16:19 Benito Skinner? Because like virality is kind of, it's really hugely important to us.
16:22 Mary Beth Barone? It is. And when you go viral, you should celebrate it as if your house burned down.
16:26 Benito Skinner? As if someone got killed.
16:28 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
16:28 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
16:29 Mary Beth Barone? Oh my god.
16:31 Speaker 00 My fucking pussy.
16:33 Mary Beth Barone? Pussy is pretty straightforward. It's just another word for pussy.
16:37 Benito Skinner? Oh, straight guys driving right now in their, their Ford Broncos, they're so relieved. They're like, what? Okay, good. I just.
16:44 Mary Beth Barone? One I can wrap my mind around.
16:45 Benito Skinner? Yeah, they're like, I've been having a lot of interesting sex lately with my girls.
16:49 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
16:49 Speaker 00 Oh my god, you're fucking my fucking pussy.
16:54 Benito Skinner? I did that every morning. That's how I woke up. That's what Mary Beth and Edward awoke to.
17:00 Mary Beth Barone? In the hotel.
17:01 Benito Skinner? Seattle shows, for the Portland shows. Edward, one morning, it was silent in the room and he goes, Penny, can you do it?
17:09 Benito Skinner? Oh my God, you're begging my begging pussy.
17:12 Mary Beth Barone? He loves it.
17:13 Benito Skinner? Yeah, he does.
17:14 Mary Beth Barone? Fuck her.
17:15 Benito Skinner? And he loves my pussy. Fuck her.
17:17 Mary Beth Barone? Edward, you fucker.
17:19 Benito Skinner? Fuck her.
17:20 Mary Beth Barone? It's also cohesive. Like, I can just move through these so quickly.
17:23 Benito Skinner? No, and you are, but you are the queen of transitions.
17:25 Mary Beth Barone? I'm the queen of segues. It's not a big deal. And you're the king of Halloween.
17:30 Benito Skinner? Thank you, fucker.
17:31 Mary Beth Barone? You fucker.
17:32 Benito Skinner? Fucker is as easy to get as apple pie on a Sunday morning.
17:37 Mary Beth Barone? It's as easy to get as apple pie on a Sunday morning.
17:40 Benito Skinner? I mean, you could, so it's just, it's classic. It's so friendly and fun. Fucker.
17:45 Mary Beth Barone? Fucker.
17:46 Benito Skinner? You can say it to anyone. Like, if they're just kind of being like a little stinker.
17:49 Mary Beth Barone? It's coy, I would say. You fucker.
17:52 Benito Skinner? It's very fucker.
17:53 Mary Beth Barone? And it's celebratory. It's not actually like angry.
17:55 Benito Skinner? No, because that'd be like motherfucker.
17:57 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
17:58 Benito Skinner? Which is like if someone like cuts you off or something.
18:00 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, it's different. This is like, oh, you fucker.
18:03 Benito Skinner? Fucker, and you point. And it's like, it's very like giving a guy shit because he hasn't proposed. So I'm sure a lot of you have heard this, who's the guys, the straight guys listening. Fucker, come on, put a rock on her finger, fucker.
18:16 Mary Beth Barone? Then Fucker Jones is sort of like, what do they call it? It's not a reboot. It's like a spinoff. It's a spinoff of Fucker.
18:23 Benito Skinner? It's a retelling.
18:24 Mary Beth Barone? It's a retelling. So we were in the green room at the Denver show.
18:27 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
18:28 Mary Beth Barone? And the person who was helping us communicate with the venue.
18:32 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
18:32 Mary Beth Barone? We were in there, we were in the green room alone and you said, we were, because the show is supposed to start soon, you said, what did you say?
18:38 Benito Skinner? I said, where's Fucker Jones? I will just set the scene for you guys. Mary Beth is always sitting and cold before the shows and she's quiet. And I like need to rev myself up for the show. So I'm like dancing around her. I am tucking ultimately.
18:53 Mary Beth Barone? Mm-hmm. You are.
18:55 Benito Skinner? A lot.
18:55 Mary Beth Barone? Fun. But you said, where's fucker Jones? As I was already walking over to the door. Cause I thought that maybe he was gonna come soon.
19:02 Benito Skinner? Cause you go, what time are we gonna go onstage?
19:04 Mary Beth Barone? And then you said, where's fucker Jones? And I laughed and I said, haha, where's fucker Jones? As I say that, I open the door, he's standing right there.
19:10 Benito Skinner? Miles.
19:11 Mary Beth Barone? Miles, we love you.
19:11 Benito Skinner? Miles in Denver, we love you.
19:13 Mary Beth Barone? So that's fucker Jones.
19:14 Benito Skinner? That's love you, kid.
19:15 Mary Beth Barone? Love you, kid. I mean, you have to get in a love you, kid.
19:18 Benito Skinner? Love you, kid. So, love you, kid is if you say something to your partner, like you're like, oh, hey, did you have a chance to do that? And they're kind of in a bad mood and they're like, no, I didn't fucking, you know, like, whatever. And you're like, love you, kid.
19:31 Mary Beth Barone? Love you, kid. You didn't book those flights yet? Love you, kid.
19:35 Benito Skinner? Hey, did you get a chance to like text your mom and ask her what time like she's coming? No.
19:39 Mary Beth Barone? No.
19:39 Benito Skinner? Love you, kid.
19:41 Mary Beth Barone? Love you, kid. And that kind of gets into its counterpart, love you sweat.
19:45 Benito Skinner? Love you sweat is, yeah, it's the same thing. If your partner or someone says like something shitty to you.
19:50 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, really?
19:50 Benito Skinner? Love you sweat.
19:51 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, I thought it was more earnest. I'm learning new things.
19:54 Benito Skinner? It's a little both, I would say. You could do it either way. And you could do that with love you kid too. Like if you love someone so much, you kind of really, you like kind of get rid of your jaw. And you go, love you, kid. And you kind of hold your face like this. It's very ribbit.
20:09 Mary Beth Barone? It's ribbit, which we can get into.
20:12 Benito Skinner? You have to take us through ribbit.
20:14 Mary Beth Barone? So, we were at my parents' house and we were brushing our teeth. We'd just gone to a chili cook off and we were talking about.
20:23 Benito Skinner? They're so confused by all this.
20:25 Mary Beth Barone? They were, we were talking.
20:26 Benito Skinner? Setting the scene in that way. Oh yeah, I get it. You're brushing your teeth after a chili cook off. I could see, I could see it now.
20:32 Mary Beth Barone? I could see it now. Which I can see it now is when you are describing something and you just want to make it a little bit more cinematic and you say, I can see it now.
20:41 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
20:41 Mary Beth Barone? So, we were brushing our teeth after the chili cook off. I can see it now. And we were just having a giggle and we talked about Ribbit Girl, who is this internet sensation who dresses as a frog. She cosplays as a frog and she says, cute? I'm not cute. I mean, my parents say I'm cute, but I never really heard it from anyone else. Thanks, I guess.
21:04 Benito Skinner? Thanks, I guess.
21:05 Mary Beth Barone? But she often will say, she'll start and end videos saying, ribbit. So then, the Wonka trailer had come out and you were doing some Timothy Chalamet impressions. And you said, oh my god.
21:16 Benito Skinner? Quiet up and listen down. Don't scratch that. Reverse.
21:20 Mary Beth Barone? And then we laughed at the level of internet literacy you would need to have to understand those references. And we decided that anyone who could understand that reference without it being explained to them should be in a mental institution.
21:34 Benito Skinner? Yeah, and should come to Ride Live.
21:35 Mary Beth Barone? You're too online, but come to Ride Live.
21:37 Benito Skinner? And if you're listening to this, you either are that person, or you're dating that person. Congratulations, you're a winner, baby.
21:43 Mary Beth Barone? Congratulations. Well, I guess on the topic of winners, we can get into the Fabu Awards. It's just, it's a concept, the Fabu and the Bestie of the Year Awards.
21:53 Benito Skinner? It's just like an award show that we made up, but it's like some people are bestie of the year, like Mary Beth is my bestie of the year. She beat Stassi Baby, who's Kylie Jenner's best friend. Shout out Stassi, we love you doll, but we had to take the crown. Mary Beth had to do it on him, so she did.
22:08 Mary Beth Barone? I had to, and you know what? Stassi was so nice about it.
22:11 Benito Skinner? Yeah, she's a total doll.
22:13 Mary Beth Barone? Around awards season is when it's the Oscars, the Globes, Bestie of the Year, and then the Fabu Awards, which is just another award show that we made up for fabulous people. But they don't have the Fabu Awards in England.
22:22 Benito Skinner? Oh, of course not. It's just the Brits.
22:24 Mary Beth Barone? The Brits, yeah. It's just the Brits.
22:26 Benito Skinner? The BAFTAs, I would say, but also there is the worstie awards. So anyone who's being a worstie, you know, they're probably nominated.
22:34 Mary Beth Barone? They are.
22:35 Benito Skinner? You know, they might take the crown.
22:36 Mary Beth Barone? We know Republic Records got nominated for a worstie. The year that Hailee Steinfeld's single came out, they commented on her Instagram about it, and she said, are you gonna post about it?
22:46 Benito Skinner? And we think about that every single day of our lives.
22:48 Mary Beth Barone? Every day of our lives.
22:49 Benito Skinner? Because what that taught us is that you can call people out.
22:52 Mary Beth Barone? You can, and you should.
22:53 Benito Skinner? You can take on Big Pharma.
22:55 Mary Beth Barone? You can call them out, you can take on Big Pharma.
22:58 Benito Skinner? You can, you can take on Big Pharma.
23:00 Mary Beth Barone? And you know what? You can also, I'm trying to think of a good segue.
23:04 Benito Skinner? Your segues are insane today.
23:06 Mary Beth Barone? We're having fun.
23:07 Benito Skinner? They're incredible.
23:10 Benito Skinner? Nutrafol, baby, you got that forehead hair, it looks so good, yeah. That's free Nutrafol, you can have that. Well, I guess you paid for the ad. So here's the thing. Oh, I just made myself laugh. Love thyself.
23:24 Benito Skinner? Here's my thing. The holidays can get busy and overwhelming quickly. And thoughtful gifts that encourage slowing down and prioritizing self-care always stand out. With Nutriful, give the gift of stronger and faster growing hair. Should I do this to my dad and just completely like, just obliterate him? I think I should. I think he'd be down. So this holiday season, Nutriful is the perfect gift for anyone on your list. Nutriful is the number one dermatologist recommended hair growth supplement brand, trusted by over one and a half million people. And can I just say, this weekend, Mary Beth and I were at a cocktail bar and Sebastian Stan walked in. Let me tell you about that fucking full head of hair he had. Thick, strong, and it was fast growing. I could tell. With less shedding in just three to six months, that's the Nutriful promise that I always
24:09 Benito Skinner? keep talking about, especially at parties with people I've just met. Give the gift of confidence this holiday season with Nutriful and teach your family or friends a lesson. Whether you're treating yourself or someone on your list, visibly healthier, thicker hair is the gift that keeps on fucking giving. Right now, Nutriful is offering our listeners, my listeners, because I built this from the ground up by myself, I'll just say it, $10 off your first month subscription, plus free shipping when you go to nutrafol.com and use promo code RIDE. That's nutrafol.com promo code RIDE for $10 off. God, my hair's fucking thick. It's dawning on me that my voice might be nasally today, but maybe it's cutie. I don't know. So here's the thing, I'm going to talk about Joan's Road from Miss Bobby Brown.
24:54 Benito Skinner? She's so goaded. But I use the Miracle Balm. It's kind of this like delicious, kind of like bronzy blush hybrid, I would say. I put a little bit of that on my cheeky since the girls go wild. I look sun-kissed, I look like boy next door, I look a little flushed, like maybe I just got up to something crazy. It's really cute and it's kind of like all I've been doing lately, just put a little bit on my cheeks. Here's the thing, holiday events and parties are about to be in full swing and I think you're probably already experiencing a lot of that right now. And getting ready always feels like such a hassle. Too much makeup, too many steps and never enough time. It doesn't look natural, feels like a mask, feels heavy. You're unsure of the best way to do makeup and it never looks good.
25:35 Benito Skinner? Jones Road is a minimalist makeup brand founded by makeup artist Bobby Brown goaded that creates versatile and easy to use products that simplify your routine. Every formula is packed with clean, skin-loving ingredients. And starting November 6th, Jones Road is launching their most giftable and exclusive holiday collection yet. All five limited edition kits in the collection are trios that include new holiday shades, products, and packaging. Their best seller is Miracle Balm, which Benny Drama uses. In this holiday season, simplify your routine with makeup that's clean, strategic, and multifunctional. And don't miss out on their limited edition holiday sets. They won't be here for long, okay? And once they're gone, they're gone. Also, as a treat for my listeners, you'll get a free Cool Gloss on your first purchase when you use code RIDE at checkout.
26:20 Benito Skinner? Just head to jonesroad.com and use code RIDE at checkout. After you purchase, they will ask you where you heard about them. I think you know where. From Benny Drama, not Mary Beth. Please support our show and tell them our show sent you.
26:34 Mary Beth Barone? So from are you gonna post about it? I think it's only natural to get into. There are easier ways to tell me you listen to Ride. Because sometimes people will do and post things, or they'll say things, they'll be quoted as saying something that is just so Ride.
26:48 Benito Skinner? It's so Ride-coded.
26:50 Mary Beth Barone? Or Ride heritage, which is sort of another thing that we can get into. But it's basically like, sometimes like, okay, let's say like CVS has a Ferrero Rocher display. It's like, there's easier ways to tell me you listen to Ride.
27:02 Benito Skinner? Exactly. It's almost like starting to be too much at this point.
27:05 Mary Beth Barone? I know.
27:06 Benito Skinner? But we did an episode on bobs, fuck-ass bobs. So it's like, anyone who has a bob, it's like, well, there are easier ways to tell me you listen to Ride.
27:13 Mary Beth Barone? There's easier ways. And my mom sent me some screenshots. She was watching the Beanie Baby documentary. And this woman is being interviewed and she says, it's all about family. And then her kids go, Ribbit, Ribbit, Ribbit, because they're playing with the frog Beanie Baby. And my mom goes, there's easier ways to tell us you listen to Ride.
27:30 Benito Skinner? If you're gonna do the ultimate Ribbit challenge, I mean, come on.
27:33 Mary Beth Barone? I mean, come on.
27:34 Benito Skinner? It's written all over your lips.
27:35 Mary Beth Barone? And then, of course, we get into Ride Heritage. So Ride Heritage is when we have an episode that's just like, encapsulates everything that Ride is about. And it comes from this quote by a soccer and/or football coach, depending where you live. About soccer heritage and or football heritage. So we've made it our own with Ride Heritage.
27:53 Benito Skinner? Mm hmm.
27:53 Mary Beth Barone? And some episodes just are Ride Heritage and we don't know before going into it, but they just become Ride Heritage.
27:58 Benito Skinner? They become Ride Heritage. I will say the Baronies, which is the name of people who listen. And for anyone who doesn't understand that of why it's Baroni, because that's just Mary Beth Barone. They're like, how am I in that?
28:09 Mary Beth Barone? Because you're family.
28:10 Benito Skinner? Yeah, because I'm family. And if we got married, I would obviously take Mary Beth's last name. So our kids would be the Baronies.
28:17 Mary Beth Barone? The Baronies, 100%.
28:18 Benito Skinner? Pretty obvious. I don't think it's that heady. I don't think I should have had to explain that. Thank you very much.
28:24 Mary Beth Barone? Edward's gonna take my name too.
28:25 Benito Skinner? Which gets me into Nina Drama. So I had a sexbot video sketch where I essentially took a bunch of these sexbot comments and brought them to life via a character. I wanted to humanize these bot comments. And it turned into this, I would say, fabulous character, Nina Drama.
28:47 Mary Beth Barone? One of my favorites, really.
28:49 Benito Skinner? She definitely pops up. I will say she is the voice in my head a lot of the time. If I want to say something on Ride, sometimes Nina, she takes over.
28:57 Mary Beth Barone? She speaks.
28:58 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
28:59 Mary Beth Barone? And it's nice to have an alter ego you can tap into.
29:02 Benito Skinner? Of course. We all deserve that.
29:04 Mary Beth Barone? One of your other alter egos, I would say, is you doing a jazz standard of Welcome to My Island, Charlie's verse.
29:11 Benito Skinner? Yes, there's a song called Welcome to My Island by Caroline Polachek. Charli XCX remixed it with George Daniel, her lover. Fuck her.
29:22 Mary Beth Barone? Fuck her.
29:24 Benito Skinner? And so I started to do kind of a jazz standard version of her remix. So there's a lot of layers there as well.
29:30 Mary Beth Barone? There's a lot of layers and that gets into, you have to know Taylor Swift and Katy Perry lyrics because sometimes you'll say something or I'll say something where it just either quotes partially a Taylor Swift lyric accidentally and then we'll just get into the song. So it's like, you kind of just have to know those things. You have to know both of their discographies because sometimes we'll just say like
29:50 Benito Skinner? Swish, swish, bish.
29:52 Mary Beth Barone? Actually, sometimes we'll just say Another One in the Casket.
29:54 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
29:54 Mary Beth Barone? If you don't know that song by Katy Perry, swish, swish.
29:57 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
29:57 Mary Beth Barone? You're gonna be totally lost.
29:58 Benito Skinner? Will you be my witness? Katy Perry.
30:00 Mary Beth Barone? Katy Perry.
30:01 Benito Skinner? Best believe I'm still bejeweled. Baby love, I think I've been a little too kind. I would say bejeweled. Start with bejeweled if you're gonna.
30:09 Mary Beth Barone? Start with bejeweled.
30:10 Benito Skinner? Bejeweled and masterminded.
30:12 Mary Beth Barone? And then, of course, enunciate the words.
30:15 Benito Skinner? Oh my god.
30:15 Mary Beth Barone? This is a quote from Katy on Idol.
30:17 Benito Skinner? Katy Perry is a judge on American Idol. And there was this singer who she walked in like a bat out of hell. And she said,
30:35 Benito Skinner? and Katy was there. She had full cow print outfit on. She looked fabulous. And she said, slow down. Enunciate the words.
30:44 Mary Beth Barone? Enunciate the words.
30:47 Benito Skinner? And the girl made it to Hollywood, thanks to Katy Perry's notes. So.
30:51 Mary Beth Barone? I just love that.
30:52 Benito Skinner? Quiet down and listen up.
30:54 Mary Beth Barone? Listen up. It's a Tiffany check. Tiffany check is when I wear my Tiffany bracelet. And it makes the most soothing sound in the world, other than when your makeup and your makeup bag is clacking together. This is number one, the makeup bag is two.
31:05 Benito Skinner? Ooh, chills down my little spine.
31:09 Benito Skinner? That feels good. That feels like a toe curling orgasm.
31:13 Mary Beth Barone? Get into it.
31:14 Benito Skinner? Toe curling orgasm. It's pretty simple. This podcast studio is about to blow up. We're giving it so much info.
31:21 Mary Beth Barone? I know. I almost think we need to do a part two.
31:23 Benito Skinner? I can't tell if the segues make it more confusing or.
31:26 Mary Beth Barone? I don't care.
31:27 Benito Skinner? Literally, it's kind of an insane. It's actually so hard to understand, I think.
31:32 Mary Beth Barone? It's circular. As we said, it's a circle.
31:34 Benito Skinner? It's so hard. Toe curling orgasm. Mary Beth, she's living in my house. Fuck, this is so hard to do. So Mary Beth.
31:43 Mary Beth Barone? You can do living in my house right now.
31:44 Benito Skinner? To start toe curling orgasm, I want to tell you about I'm Living in Your House, which is this video. And I will say, if some of these things you're not understanding, you need to follow at Red.
31:57 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, my god. Hundred percent.
31:59 Benito Skinner? Because if you're not following Red.
32:00 Mary Beth Barone? It's gonna fill in the blanks.
32:01 Benito Skinner? You're only getting half.
32:02 Mary Beth Barone? You're only getting half the story.
32:04 Benito Skinner? So there's this video of Lea Michele, Miss Girl, at the Met Gala. And she's talking to Lala Anthony, who's just absolutely incredible. She was just like, she's a star.
32:15 Mary Beth Barone? She's shutting it down.
32:16 Benito Skinner? She's shutting it down. And before they start the interview, Lala says, Lee, I know there was something you wanted to tell me. And Leanne Michelle goes, well, yeah, I'm, I'm living in your house.
32:26 Mary Beth Barone? La La Space?
32:27 Benito Skinner? She's like, what? It's just, it's so.
32:31 Mary Beth Barone? It's kind of perfect television.
32:33 Benito Skinner? It's perfect.
32:33 Mary Beth Barone? And it plays on this other joke that we have that you'll learn more about when we do the Jennifer Lawrence carpool. But basically in the movie Mother, I won't give any spoilers, but at one point someone's painting your house. And she goes, why are you painting my house? So it's actually like a double whammy, that one.
32:48 Benito Skinner? Mm hmm.
32:49 Mary Beth Barone? So when I stay at your house, now I say, I'm living at your house and.
32:54 Benito Skinner? I'm living in your house. And when Mary Beth is living in my house, I like to knock on the door, the guest room in the morning. And she says, how'd you sleep? And I said, I had the most toe curling orgasm last night. And it's just as simple as that.
33:13 Mary Beth Barone? It's crass.
33:13 Benito Skinner? It's crass.
33:14 Mary Beth Barone? It's really crass, but we love it.
33:17 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
33:18 Mary Beth Barone? Okay. So what we're finding right now is that we actually have a lot more to do. So we're gonna do a part two of this that will come out next week. So we hope that you listened to this and had it a toe curling orgasm.
33:33 Benito Skinner? But I will say, listen back to this from the top, just so that you, you get it.
33:37 Mary Beth Barone? When you try to listen to part two, when you listen to part two, you're saying, just listen to this one again.
33:42 Benito Skinner? Do it again. Just, we have this, you can always come back to it.
33:45 Mary Beth Barone? Cite your sources, bibliography, we're excited. This is what we're doing. Thanks, guys.
33:51 Benito Skinner? Thank you so much.
33:52 Mary Beth Barone? For part two of the Encyclopedia of Ride.
33:55 Benito Skinner? I can see it now.
34:00 Speaker 00 Oh, my exit.
34:01 Mary Beth Barone? Benny babe, eyes on the road.
