0:18 Speaker 01 Hey, can you come pick me up? Yeah, what's wrong? Nothing. Pretty sure. Yeah, no, I just need a ride. Oh my god. So why, 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 Brown.
0:32 Benito Skinner? And this?
0:33 Mary Beth Barone? Is?
0:34 Benito Skinner? Ride.
0:40 Benito Skinner? Woo! She got some stank on there. Welcome back to another week of Encyclopedia. I'm sure I've gotten some DMs about how you didn't fuck with these episodes. But here's the thing. Sometimes mommy and daddy need a little break and I need to go see my nephews.
0:53 Mary Beth Barone? I'm sorry, can we just like be nice?
0:55 Benito Skinner? No, we have to be nice. You have to just be nice to us and like, we'll, we'll deliver.
1:01 Mary Beth Barone? We'll give you the world.
1:02 Benito Skinner? We'll deliveroo. What's it called?
1:03 Mary Beth Barone? Deliveroo. Oh, I meant to say something.
1:04 Benito Skinner? Yes!
1:05 Mary Beth Barone? In London, they call Christmas lights fairy lights. Doesn't that make a lot of sense?
1:10 Benito Skinner? What'd you just call me?
1:10 Mary Beth Barone? I just took my zip up off. I don't think we're gonna clip.
1:13 Benito Skinner? We cannot have these on camera. I can't have more of this.
1:17 Mary Beth Barone? My bobbies?
1:17 Benito Skinner? They're gonna see the difference between me.
1:19 Mary Beth Barone? What?
1:20 Benito Skinner? How I look right now and I'm sure I looked cuter for the Encyclopedia.
1:23 Mary Beth Barone? I don't know, we were pretty pale.
1:24 Benito Skinner? Cool.
1:25 Mary Beth Barone? So, yeah.
1:26 Benito Skinner? Jesus. I need the sun, I need to be held, I need...
1:29 Mary Beth Barone? We hope you're all having fun wherever the holidays have taken you. I'll say that much.
1:33 Benito Skinner? Yeah, I hope you're like also taking time for yourself. Like, I hope you're like in a closet right now, very like, is that Hanny or Hanny or Ally? Ally or Hanny? Annie or Hallie?
1:42 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, Annie or Hallie.
1:43 Benito Skinner? I literally just had a stroke.
1:44 Mary Beth Barone? I saw that, that was scary.
1:46 Benito Skinner? In the, in the closet when she's like taking calls? Cause her family was in Bora Bora.
1:50 Mary Beth Barone? Bora Bora. Her family's on vacation in a Bora Bora.
1:54 Benito Skinner? They clocked her time difference.
1:55 Mary Beth Barone? No, but she was, she was on the ball.
1:57 Benito Skinner? She was close.
1:58 Mary Beth Barone? Cause she's British, she was raised right.
1:59 Benito Skinner? That's right.
2:00 Mary Beth Barone? Who knows different time zones?
2:01 Benito Skinner? So, yeah, I hope you're doing that locked in a closet, listening to us. Take some like time for yourself. The holidays can be a lot and, yeah, they can weigh on you.
2:09 Mary Beth Barone? Let's reset after this crazy year.
2:11 Benito Skinner? God, how excited are we to not be in 2025 anymore? Can I just say?
2:15 Mary Beth Barone? The worst year on record for me and a lot of people.
2:17 Benito Skinner? I'm so sorry.
2:18 Mary Beth Barone? For a lot of people. And I, I don't wanna say...
2:20 Benito Skinner? It's not my favorite, but then some was amazing. I loved half so much, other half hated.
2:24 Mary Beth Barone? A lot of good things happened, but also some people have it worse than me. I'm gonna acknowledge that, like, I had a lot of stuff, but of course, there's people.
2:31 Benito Skinner? Two things can be true.
2:32 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, I saw someone, actually, I didn't even wanna say it. I'll tell you after, it just pissed me off.
2:36 Benito Skinner? Keep all this.
2:37 Mary Beth Barone? And we will. I thought of this the other day. The best thing to happen to a person with generational wealth is they start a small business and then they get ripped off by a big box retailer and then the internet will always be on their side.
2:49 Benito Skinner? Perfect.
2:49 Mary Beth Barone? It's extremely specific, but you know what I mean.
2:52 Benito Skinner? Of course.
2:53 Mary Beth Barone? Like, if you come from wealth and you start like a little clothing company and you have like one design that Zara steals or like, you know, H and M or... I mean, you're set for life.
3:03 Benito Skinner? Yeah, what a gift.
3:04 Mary Beth Barone? And can I just say, congrats?
3:05 Benito Skinner? Oh, God.
3:06 Mary Beth Barone? Cause you killed that.
3:07 Benito Skinner? Zara, take any of the ride designs you want. Please. Urban Outfitters, take them all.
3:13 Mary Beth Barone? Take them.
3:14 Benito Skinner? They're yours. Shein? Love you, kid.
3:17 Mary Beth Barone? Well, I love you, kid!
3:19 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
3:19 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
3:20 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
3:20 Mary Beth Barone? We're all gonna drown. People think that we're gonna die because the sea level's rising. No, no, no, no, we're gonna drown in fast fashion. Fast fashion is gonna suffocate us. We're gonna be at Melrose Podcast and all of a sudden, fast fashion is gonna blow through the door and it's gonna fill the room!
3:35 Benito Skinner? I'm five-four, straight to the fucking go.
3:38 Mary Beth Barone? I can't breathe.
3:41 Benito Skinner? I'm scrambling and it's all those see-through nude high heels that they sell on Shein where everyone's feet just look like stuffed salamis and I can see the heat and the steam rising from toes.
3:52 Mary Beth Barone? The only people that will survive are people that are in flight at the time.
3:57 Benito Skinner? Wait, so it will be us. We will survive.
3:59 Mary Beth Barone? They're gonna land on a bunch of clothes and they're gonna get out and go, what the fuck happened?
4:03 Benito Skinner? They land on a bunch of skims.
4:07 Benito Skinner? Trying to get their... This is them trying to get tread over skims. Over a skims nipple bra, which I need. Who's that?
4:15 Mary Beth Barone? Just my friend. You'll meet her on Wednesday.
4:17 Benito Skinner? We're recording.
4:18 Mary Beth Barone? I know.
4:19 Benito Skinner? Well, we hope you enjoy part two. We love you, we miss you. Hopefully, you know, this is so helpful and you also think about gratitude, cause it's also cool to have a new episode. So, think about the next time we'll have one of those.
4:31 Mary Beth Barone? We're putting these out so you'll be more grateful when we record new stuff.
4:35 Benito Skinner? Yeah, cause we're tough. We're tough parents.
4:37 Mary Beth Barone? Sometimes you'll listen to a song more than once. I mean, it's not the craziest idea.
4:41 Benito Skinner? It's not the craziest idea. And also, you don't know the layers. Like, when we go back, how we edit, how we weave things in.
4:46 Mary Beth Barone? Thank you.
4:48 Benito Skinner? We love you. Mary Quasimoy.
4:49 Mary Beth Barone? Mary Quasimoy. Wait, where are we going?
4:52 Benito Skinner? Who cares? Ride! Welcome back to episode two of the most confusing encyclopedia of ride you've ever experienced, Me Love.
5:01 Mary Beth Barone? Crack open those books, kids. We're studying today.
5:04 Benito Skinner? We have to start with Me Love.
5:06 Mary Beth Barone? Do they understand the assignment?
5:08 Benito Skinner? No, sister. So, Me Love. Me Love is obviously a derivative of My Love. As I said in part one, this is all Latin. So, absolutely. So, Me Love is just you put My and Love together and it's Me Love. And it's just anyone who's Me Love.
5:26 Mary Beth Barone? But it's spelled M I L U V.
5:28 Benito Skinner? Yeah, some people don't get that. I really want to get the spelling right on this. Consistent and cohesive. Everything has to be cohesive for me because I have OCD and you should also know that if you're listening to Ride.
5:38 Mary Beth Barone? And you should know that we're all about love and positivity and positive vibes on this podcast, except for Zachary Levi.
5:44 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
5:44 Mary Beth Barone? So, we really like to perpetuate this idea of love and love being the most powerful thing in the universe as Christopher Nolan showed us in Interstellar.
5:53 Benito Skinner? Totally.
5:53 Mary Beth Barone? And also, so our listeners are the baronies. They have enlisted in the Army of Love.
5:58 Benito Skinner? The Army of Love. Hut, hut!
6:01 Mary Beth Barone? Hut, hut!
6:02 Benito Skinner? Army of Love.
6:02 Mary Beth Barone? And you have to salute to the Army of Love.
6:05 Benito Skinner? You have to salute to the Army of Love because we know that love conquers all evil.
6:11 Mary Beth Barone? And love and showing kindness, grace and gratitude is the only way that we're going to make the world a better place. And that's why we do this podcast.
6:19 Benito Skinner? Yeah, that's the Army of Love Manifesto.
6:22 Mary Beth Barone? It is the Army of Love Manifesto, which we, maybe we should actually write and post on Ride the Pod for the holidays.
6:27 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
6:27 Mary Beth Barone? Our intentions going into next year are all about just trying to lead with empathy, love and kindness and pass that on. And when you're frustrated, just take a breath and don't be mean to the people that love you and that you love just because it's easier than actually like confronting issues. I don't know. Army of Love to me is like so special and important and I think go to Berry's, go to SoulCycle, do your Peloton class. We are training for Battle Me Love.
6:51 Benito Skinner? We are training in your Alita Battle Angel.
6:53 Mary Beth Barone? Alita.
6:55 Benito Skinner? I don't have to explain that to straight guys. Alita's straight culture.
6:58 Mary Beth Barone? Don't call me Angel.
7:00 Benito Skinner? Please don't call me. Whatever you do, can you please not call me Angel?
7:04 Mary Beth Barone? Dude, can you not call me Angel?
7:06 Benito Skinner? Come on.
7:06 Mary Beth Barone? Come on.
7:07 Benito Skinner? Don't call me Angel.
7:08 Mary Beth Barone? Please, anything but that.
7:10 Benito Skinner? Don't call me Angel. We've never talked about on the pod until the encyclopedia.
7:14 Mary Beth Barone? We can list new things. That's our podcast.
7:16 Benito Skinner? It's our podcast. And sometimes it's good to know things that are coming.
7:19 Mary Beth Barone? They're Easter eggs.
7:20 Benito Skinner? I do think I'll ride for the song "Don't Call Me Angel" because I think there's nothing more iconic than having a movie about three women who are crime fighting badasses in The Army of Love, and they are specifically called Angels. And then the-
7:36 Mary Beth Barone? The soundtrack features a song.
7:38 Benito Skinner? By Ariana Grande, Lana Del Rey, and Miley Cyrus that says "Don't Call Me Angel."
7:42 Mary Beth Barone? Don't call me Angel.
7:44 Benito Skinner? Say whatever the fuck you want about me.
7:47 Mary Beth Barone? But don't call me Angel. And on that note, I guess we can move on to Manjo B.
7:53 Benito Skinner? Manjo B. Manjo business bitch. So, Manjo business bitch. Oh, and bunching it so in pain and rude.
8:05 Mary Beth Barone? We're introducing that too, which is that you think Britney Spears should have been cast as Ursula.
8:09 Benito Skinner? I think she should have been Ursula. It would have been fucking incredible. Or she's, you know, I would have at least liked to have her on the list. We've all seen her Notebook audition. The girl's got chops.
8:18 Mary Beth Barone? She's got chops.
8:19 Benito Skinner? The woman in me has got chops.
8:21 Mary Beth Barone? Has chops. And she says Manjo B.
8:23 Benito Skinner? Manjo B. So Britney came back with this incredible song with Will I Am? And it's just, it's an earworm and I couldn't stop saying it. So we were doing a show in Chicago. Ride on the road tour, which just, I mean.
8:37 Mary Beth Barone? It was pretty explosive.
8:38 Benito Skinner? Fun was that tour?
8:39 Mary Beth Barone? It was really fun.
8:40 Benito Skinner? That tour was a really good time.
8:42 Mary Beth Barone? Really fun.
8:42 Benito Skinner? We'll do more in the future, I'm sure. But I kept walking into rooms going, Manjo B. Cause it's just, ah, Britney, the earworms that woman can create.
8:52 Mary Beth Barone? It's best if you put your fingers through your belt loops and tilt your head to the side as well.
8:55 Benito Skinner? Manjo business bitch. Where she at? Where she at?
8:58 Mary Beth Barone? Where she at? Where she at?
9:00 Benito Skinner? And where she at? Where's Serena Vanderwoodson? Can you help me with that?
9:03 Mary Beth Barone? Serena has got to go.
9:05 Benito Skinner? So Serena Vanderwoodson on Gossip Girl. She likes to end every single scene on camera.
9:13 Benito Skinner? By saying, "Look, I gotta go."
9:16 Mary Beth Barone? Dan, I gotta go. Dan, I wish I could talk, but I gotta go.
9:20 Benito Skinner? I would say if you're gonna listen to Ride, you should watch every single episode of the original Gossip Girl. It would help.
9:27 Mary Beth Barone? In a short amount of time, if possible as well. Just inject it into your veins.
9:31 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
9:32 Mary Beth Barone? Because then you're gonna notice and pick up on another iconic quote that we have really, really spread across the globe. It went worldwide totally unexpected. Basically, there's this scene in Gossip Girl, season one, where Jenny and Dan and Rufus are in their humongous Brooklyn loft, but they're poor, which is kind of interesting. And Dan's cut himself shaving, and then Jenny kind of razzes him a little bit. Then he looks at her and she goes, "I'm your sister. It's what I do. It's what I do." Famous line reads in history should be immortalized. It's really important, and we have to teach them to our kids because history isn't done.
10:08 Benito Skinner? History isn't done. We don't have to teach the straight guys that. History isn't done. It's so obvious.
10:15 Mary Beth Barone? Hey, you guys, it's Mary Beth here. I hope you're enjoying the encyclopedia of Ride. This episode is brought to you by NoCD. So picture this: Benny Dramas going about his day when suddenly a horrifying thought flashes through his mind. Maybe it's a fear of something happening to a loved one, a disturbing or sexual image that keeps replaying in your mind, or an urge to do something that you really don't want to do. You think, "Why did I think that? Am I a bad person? Or why did Benny think that? Is Benny a bad person?" It starts to consume him, and you feel like you have to do something, anything, to make them go away. If that sounds familiar, guess what? These disturbing unwanted thoughts are more common than you think. But for people with OCD, they actually cause a lot of stress and feel hard to stop thinking about.
11:00 Mary Beth Barone? So here's the thing: Benny found OCD. And NoCD is a virtual therapy provider for OCD that's here to help anyone struggling with OCD and taboo or shameful thoughts.

11:50 Benito Skinner? So, welcome to our next Señorita ad.
11:52 Mary Beth Barone? So, this is Señorita ad.
11:53 Benito Skinner? You're Camila, I'm Sean.
11:55 Mary Beth Barone? In a world where we're identifying as Camila or Sean. I'm Camila.
11:58 Benito Skinner? Well, yeah, so Señorita, though, was written by Charlie XCX. Isn't that crazy?
12:02 Mary Beth Barone? The Justin Timberlake song?
12:03 Benito Skinner? No, no, no, no, the Sean song.
12:05 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, interesting.
12:05 Benito Skinner? With Camila. So, here's the thing.
12:07 Mary Beth Barone? We love Señorita. I have to say that when these cases arrived at my apartment, I thought to myself, okay, it's a THC drink. I've kind of been off the weed stuff.
12:16 Benito Skinner? Oh, good, another drink on the market. Is what we kind of said back and forth.
12:19 Mary Beth Barone? We rolled our eyes and I have to say, we're on glue.
12:22 Benito Skinner? We were on glue. We had these Señoritas and then we watched Mary Beth's hookup from "Overcompensating", Robbie GK. We had a little buzz going.
12:33 Mary Beth Barone? Don't say Mary Beth's hookup, it was Grace's hookup.
12:35 Benito Skinner? Oh, my God, you, I forgot your method. Oh, my God, I like forgot.
12:39 Mary Beth Barone? No.
12:40 Benito Skinner? But it was so, it was just so fun. These are like, it's just, it's perfect for...
12:43 Mary Beth Barone? It's low calories, it's real ingredients.
12:45 Benito Skinner? For a party, for a movie night, for just hanging out, for like taking a load off after work. And you get No Hangover. Can I talk about the flavor notes? Would you mind?
12:52 Mary Beth Barone? Please, if you wouldn't mind.
12:53 Benito Skinner? It's very much a sommelier of Señorita.
12:55 Mary Beth Barone? Yes.
12:55 Benito Skinner? There's lime jalapeno margarita. It has like a bold, kind of balanced taste, just the right amount of heat, just like me. Mango margarita is more like tropical. Grapefruit paloma is like bright, it's balanced, it's sexual. Ranch water, come on now. It's like dry, bright, and it's like endlessly crushable.

13:42 Benito Skinner? I want to ring the bell.
13:44 Mary Beth Barone? Yes.
13:47 Mary Beth Barone? Hey. Oh, my God, you guys. Guess what's back? It's a Bonza Bonanza. Bonza Bonanza. Bonza's new brown rice pasta is better than any gluten-free pasta on the market. Finally, a gluten-free pasta that tastes just like the real thing. Oh, my God, it's so good. Oh, my God. No more mushy gluten-free pasta. No, not with Bonza, because it holds up beautifully as leftovers, reheated, or if you need to meal prep. And what's so cool, what's so stinking cool is that it is made in many ways in my home country of Italy, with just two ingredients, brown rice and chickpeas.

15:20 Benito Skinner? What's his name?
15:22 Mary Beth Barone? Rupert Everett?
15:23 Benito Skinner? Rupert Everett?
15:24 Mary Beth Barone? George.
15:25 Benito Skinner? George, my first understanding of like how a gay guy could go to a dinner table and take it over.
15:33 Benito Skinner? History isn't done.
15:35 Mary Beth Barone? History is not done.
15:36 Benito Skinner? Maybe we should do a whole My Best Friend's Wedding episode.
15:39 Mary Beth Barone? I think we could. There's a lot of interesting takeaways watching it in the modern day.
15:43 Benito Skinner? But before I put on my makeup, I say a little prayer for you. It's what I do.
15:51 Mary Beth Barone? It's what I do. Something we don't do is fact check. So we joke about this. Obviously, we have looked things up on the pod.
15:59 Benito Skinner? We know some stuff.
16:00 Mary Beth Barone? Or something. Some of it's just knowledge that we have. I mean, press is.
16:04 Benito Skinner? Press, what do you want me to say?
16:05 Mary Beth Barone? But we just like, sometimes it's like, if we don't pronounce something right, or we don't have like an exact date, you don't need to tell us. Like, we're just having fun. It's a conversation. You don't always have to stop a conversation in the middle to look something up. Except if it's showing me a picture of someone that you're telling me a story about.
16:22 Benito Skinner? Oh, and if you don't do that, how am I supposed to even hear the fucking story?
16:26 Mary Beth Barone? Please use your sense.
16:28 Benito Skinner? Come on.
16:29 Mary Beth Barone? Come on.
16:31 Mary Beth Barone? So maybe you could talk a little bit about if I'm so fucking crazy, then leave.
16:35 Benito Skinner? So if I'm so fucking crazy, this is one of my favorite eras.
16:40 Mary Beth Barone? If you want the full story, go back and listen to the pranking episode.
16:44 Benito Skinner? Yeah, which I think is our pilot.
16:45 Mary Beth Barone? I think it was our pilot.
16:46 Benito Skinner? It's the big pilot. They're calling it the big pilot.
16:49 Mary Beth Barone? Pilot.
16:51 Benito Skinner? The big pilot episode. So I started walking into rooms, two middle fingers up, but really small. Try to make your middle finger as small as possible. Make your toes go inward and say, if I'm so fucking crazy, then leave. And it's so powerful.
17:09 Mary Beth Barone? I know the straight guys listening have heard that a time or two.
17:11 Benito Skinner? Oh, they're going, that's where she got that from.
17:14 Mary Beth Barone? That's where she got it.
17:15 Benito Skinner? I'm gonna kill this dude. I'm gonna kill this guy.
17:19 Mary Beth Barone? Carrie!
17:20 Benito Skinner? Carrie, you broke my heart! Aiden, and all the straight guys know, Aiden.
17:26 Mary Beth Barone? Aiden.
17:27 Benito Skinner? Coming just like that. Carrie, you broke my heart, Carrie. You broke my heart!
17:36 Mary Beth Barone? It's one of my new favorites, I have to say.
17:38 Benito Skinner? He just screamed at her in the middle of a New York street.
17:43 Mary Beth Barone? Oh my God, I know when you watch that. Sorry, I'm trying not, what?
17:48 Benito Skinner? Carrie looked at him and said, "Love you, Ken."
17:50 Mary Beth Barone? I love you, Ken. Get up here, I love you, Ken. Daisy.
17:55 Benito Skinner? Daisy, Daisy Mae Buchanan. So coyotes are overrunning LA. Mary Beth's been visiting quite a bit, she's living in my house. And she said, "Jesus Christ, there are so many coyotes." And I said, "Well, did you meet my coyote? Because I have one and her name's Daisy."
18:11 Mary Beth Barone? Her name is Daisy.
18:12 Benito Skinner? I love the thought of a wild coyote just coming into my house, living with me. She's not really mine because she belongs to the world.
18:19 Mary Beth Barone? Mother Earth.
18:20 Benito Skinner? Mother Earth. And just watching Gossip Girl with her on the couch and her being a little cutie pie. They are ultimately really cute, but don't go up to them.
18:28 Mary Beth Barone? No.
18:28 Benito Skinner? I think that's, you know.
18:29 Mary Beth Barone? Did you know that all the swans, all the swans in the UK are technically owned by the Queen? So Edward says that that's the same with me, but about Carmex.
18:39 Benito Skinner? Oh, and that's the same with me, but coyote.
18:41 Mary Beth Barone? But coyotes, all the Carmexes in the US technically belong to me.
18:45 Benito Skinner? And I know that other people say coyote, but I'm from Idaho. So for some reason, I just, I see that word and I think coyote. So my coyote, Daisy.
18:53 Mary Beth Barone? And then we are animal lovers and we believe in children's rights on this podcast. But on the note of animals, I am pretty enamored with the idea that there are anywhere between 27 billion and 33 billion chickens alive at any given time. So I rode for chickens one week and the chicken, you'll see now that the merch has come out, we're making chickens fashion, kid.
19:16 Benito Skinner? Chickens are sexy.
19:18 Mary Beth Barone? Chicken can be fashion.
19:19 Benito Skinner? Oh shit, that chicken's so sexy, baby. Chickens are, they've been the doll, they are the doll, deal with it.
19:27 Mary Beth Barone? We're kind of relying on them and I love that for us.
19:30 Benito Skinner? Can I say something to you?
19:31 Mary Beth Barone? Please.
19:31 Benito Skinner? Asian chicken salad.
19:32 Mary Beth Barone? Asian chicken salad. And thank you for saying that. Can I say something else to you? How are we feeling today? I guess there's only two options, so amigo or no amigo.
19:43 Benito Skinner? I'm feeling so amigo. So, oh God, it's like, so amigo, it's a song by Metro Station. What's that song called? Shake It? Which is just, I mean, God, it's a hit. God, it's a banger.
19:58 Mary Beth Barone? Talk about an Earworm.
19:59 Benito Skinner? I will say on that note of greatest songs of all time, Clarity by Zedd.
20:05 Mary Beth Barone? Oh.
20:06 Benito Skinner? We can't even say anything else about it. Just Clarity by Zedd.
20:08 Mary Beth Barone? It speaks for itself.
20:09 Benito Skinner? But we were on, a lot of these came from tour because we're just like going absolutely insane in hotel rooms and in green rooms. So we were singing it and all of a sudden I just, instead of knowing the words, I just said, I'm feeling so amigo. And then it went into, I'm feeling no amigo. And then I'm feeling, I'm feeling broke amigo.
20:29 Mary Beth Barone? It really stuck.
20:31 Benito Skinner? Yeah, it's, it's.
20:32 Mary Beth Barone? I'm thrilled with it, to be honest.
20:33 Benito Skinner? I've seen it on handmade merch, custom merch.
20:36 Mary Beth Barone? A lot of handmade merch, which I love.
20:38 Benito Skinner? Yeah, it's exciting to know that the good word is spread.
20:40 Mary Beth Barone? It's spread. I think we could talk about quickly fabulous and stinky.
20:46 Benito Skinner? So fabulous. Fabulous wasn't enough.
20:50 Mary Beth Barone? We had to add a little something extra. This came about in the light denim episode. You had been trying on light jeans while you were closeted.
20:59 Benito Skinner? And I said, yeah, that's what I said is when I put on the jeans and they fit perfectly.
21:03 Mary Beth Barone? Fabulous.
21:03 Benito Skinner? These are fabulous. These are fabulous. I'll take them. Me at APC, I need the petite standards. These are fabulous. I'll take them.
21:14 Mary Beth Barone? I'll take them. Thanks. Could you bring that up for me? And then stinky is more of just like, it's a term of endearment.
21:21 Benito Skinner? Stinky. I like making people say stinky and seeing how much they can keep it in the back of their throat as they say it.
21:28 Mary Beth Barone? Enunciate the words.
21:30 Benito Skinner? But not in this case.
21:31 Mary Beth Barone? Not in this case.
21:32 Benito Skinner? This is the one time we don't want you to enunciate the words.
21:38 Mary Beth Barone? We have four more terms to go through and I want to say these are four of our most explosive. I think you need to talk about where Sebastian was born, where he came from and what he likes to do.
21:50 Benito Skinner? Or as you call him, Seb.
21:52 Mary Beth Barone? Seb.
21:53 Benito Skinner? So I was doing our friend Emily's makeup one day and for some reason I just looked at her and I said, I want to show you something, something unbelievable. And.
22:06 Mary Beth Barone? You FaceTimed. Right away.
22:07 Benito Skinner? I couldn't believe what I had said as I said it. I went, oh my God, I want to show you something. Something unbelievable. It's just a guy you meet in a European city who you shouldn't trust.
22:21 Mary Beth Barone? You should not trust.
22:22 Benito Skinner? And he's wearing Armani Exchange. It just, it hits you like a ton of bricks. The second I said it, I was like, this is for the kids. This is for my kids, the baronies. So new era alert, the era's tour. It's interesting that this pod happened during the era's tour because it's like, era's is such, it's so this.
22:41 Mary Beth Barone? If we did an era's tour, once this podcast is like our victory lap, when it's over, whenever that may be, in 2060, we would call it the era's tour and it would be 17 hours, just like Ken Burns's Vietnam War documentaries.
22:53 Benito Skinner? Exactly. Just saying all this shit. So yeah, something unbelievable. It's as simple as that, but we think about what it would be that Sebastian wants to show whoever he's talking to.
23:05 Mary Beth Barone? His next victim.
23:06 Benito Skinner? His next victim. Something unbelievable.
23:10 Mary Beth Barone? I would say that the London heckler wanted to show us something unbelievable. I don't know that she knew what that was.
23:17 Benito Skinner? And she didn't show us something unbelievable. She gave us folklore, though, for sure. See?
23:21 Mary Beth Barone? She gave us evermore.
23:22 Benito Skinner? For anyone who listened to part one, Taylor Swift, you've got to know her discography, cats.
23:30 Mary Beth Barone? Oh yeah, was co-opted from us. That was an era and still is, but it's now a bit triggering to us and others.
23:37 Benito Skinner? At live shows, in person, hearing, yeah, it's the London heckler. We were heckled at a London show and this Irish woman who was inebriated would not stop saying, oh, yeah. Can you do it? I love when you do it.
23:51 Mary Beth Barone? Talk about enunciate the words.
23:54 Benito Skinner? I will say, I loved, oh yeah, before this happened because oh yeah, it's supposed to be kind of the same as love you sweat and.
24:00 Mary Beth Barone? Love you, cat.
24:01 Benito Skinner? Love you, cat. It's like when something shitty happens, it's just like kind of a way to be self-deprecating and be like, oh, this terrible thing happened to me and they go, oh, yeah. Like, got a car wreck today. Insurance won't cover it. Like, that's kind of the vibe of, oh yeah. So it was never meant to be used against us.
24:20 Mary Beth Barone? And we'll return to form on that. We just need, it's, it's a little too soon.
24:23 Benito Skinner? We need time.
24:24 Mary Beth Barone? We need time. Time heals all. Traditional family values is a very heady concept that was also introduced in the pilot. We're redefining it. And we're having so much fun. Making custom merch is traditional family values. All of you have been participating in that. Beaded bracelets.
24:39 Benito Skinner? Beaded bracelets, are you kidding?
24:41 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, just so nice.
24:42 Benito Skinner? That's what all these terms are. It's traditional family values, community. How much is community building traditional family values? Parasocial relationships, traditional family values. But it's in the new sense.
24:54 Mary Beth Barone? It is, because we're redefining it.
24:55 Benito Skinner? No room for TERFs.
24:56 Mary Beth Barone? No.
24:57 Benito Skinner? TERF Hogwarts, uh-uh, you're getting no new students this year.
25:01 Mary Beth Barone? Nope.
25:01 Benito Skinner? You can send as many letters as you want. Fuck her.
25:03 Mary Beth Barone? You fucker. We love traditional family values and we love when you tell us what traditional family values means to you.
25:10 Benito Skinner? I will say about 90% of the time, you're right.
25:13 Mary Beth Barone? Spot on.
25:13 Benito Skinner? Spot on, kid. Sometimes I'm like, wait, what? Which I love.
25:17 Mary Beth Barone? But that's okay.
25:18 Benito Skinner? But maybe that's your own traditional family values. And I think having your own traditional family values is traditional family values.
25:25 Mary Beth Barone? I want to make art and I want to make trouble.
25:28 Benito Skinner? Is that what we're ending with?
25:29 Mary Beth Barone? No, I have such a huge one that we're gonna end with it, you're gonna freak.
25:34 Benito Skinner? I'm getting chills. So I would say if you're listening to the pod, I would really highly recommend Cruella, the origin story of one of the most iconic villains of all time.
25:43 Mary Beth Barone? All time.
25:44 Benito Skinner? Cruella de Vil, Miss de Vil, played by Emma Stone with a British accent. I just think this movie is canon and you need to watch it. And there's a scene where Cruella goes, "I want to make art and I want to make trouble." And I think about it every single day because it is us and it is what we're doing here on Ride.
26:04 Mary Beth Barone? It is, and rewrite the rules. That's what I have to say, rewrite the rules.
26:09 Benito Skinner? Rewrite the rules. Make an impact.
26:12 Mary Beth Barone? Press is press, take control of the narrative. In ending this episode Encyclopedia of Ride Part Two, obviously we have to talk about the era that kind of started it all as far as like how far we could push our listeners to see the world as we see it, or at least to like, you know, put on the Ride colored lenses.
26:36 Mary Beth Barone? I have four words for you. Dear Media Love Corn.
26:43 Benito Skinner? This, you want to talk about Ride Heritage? Did we fully explain Ride Heritage?
26:48 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, so for those of you, I mean, it would be insane to start an Encyclopedia of Ride Part Two, but if you didn't listen to the first one, and we'll just say again, Ride Heritage is this concept that actually Edward came up with, which is where certain episodes and certain concepts are so embedded within the DNA of Ride that they become Ride Heritage. And it's like, we can't even believe there was a time before Dear Media Love Corn, or before the Chicken and Fellowship episode, or before French Manicures and Gambling episode. You know, it's like, all these things, we're just like so happy that they exist, and they are part of now the DNA.
27:23 Benito Skinner? Buckass Bob's, and what was that one?
27:25 Mary Beth Barone? Buckass Bob's, and are you gonna post about it?
27:28 Benito Skinner? Are you gonna post about it? God, that's so Heritage.
27:31 Mary Beth Barone? We have a lot of great ads.
27:32 Benito Skinner? Worms. We didn't ride for worms, but just worms in general are now Ride Heritage.
27:36 Mary Beth Barone? Galaxy Brain.
27:37 Benito Skinner? So Dear Media Love Corn was from the Ferrero Rocher Moms Keeping Secrets episode, which I think in my, in my bones, that's Heritage.
27:48 Mary Beth Barone? That's her, of course.
27:49 Benito Skinner? That's the Heritage episode.
27:51 Mary Beth Barone? When we say Ride Heritage, that's amazing.
27:53 Benito Skinner? I tell people, if they haven't heard the pod, I go start with Ferrero Rocher Secretive Moms, and Pilot.
27:58 Mary Beth Barone? The Pilot. The Pilot was huge.
28:00 Benito Skinner? That was Pilot!
28:01 Mary Beth Barone? Me too.
28:02 Benito Skinner? God, pranking and traditional family values. God, we started with a bang, and we hooked you fuckers. So Dear Media Love Corn, picture this. Mary Beth and I, pre-launch of the podcast, we're, we're in limbo. We don't know what to do. We're doing a show at Just for Laughs in Vancouver. There is a Prada store right next to our hotel, so the trip was great.
28:23 Mary Beth Barone? Me at the glass.
28:24 Benito Skinner? On the way there, Mary Beth is eating one of her favorite snacks, which is Love Corn, Love, comma, Corn. And I look at her, and as she's Crunchalina, I say, Love Corn. Love, Simon.
28:39 Mary Beth Barone? Love, Victor.
28:41 Benito Skinner? So obviously there is the epic gay love story, Love Simon, and the spinoff series on Hulu for, I think it's now canceled, but it was like three seasons, Love Victor.
28:53 Mary Beth Barone? We had fun with it. We made it our own. We added Love Corn to that body of work as if they were all brought to you by the same minds.
29:00 Benito Skinner? Greg Brillante.
29:01 Mary Beth Barone? Greg Brillante. And so Love Corn is a fabulous snack and they heard the pod and they've been so great to work with. They send us Love Corn to give out at the end of every show. We have these amazing foam Love Corn hats that we wear when we perform Soho House. So we were talking about Love Corn on the pod and then I looked at our mics because they have these little like mic covers on them and it says Dear Media and I just thought, what a beautiful way to write a letter. You start with Dear Media, you're writing a letter to media, you write what you have to write and then you sign it with Love Corn.
29:33 Benito Skinner? That's what Abigail Adams, she signed her letters played by Laura Lenny. She started her letters. Dear Dear Media. Loveth. Loveth.
29:43 Mary Beth Barone? Loveth Corn. Yours always.
29:46 Benito Skinner? Yours always.
29:47 Mary Beth Barone? Corn.
29:47 Benito Skinner? Abigail Corn.
29:49 Mary Beth Barone? So grab some Love Corn if you see it. They have a few different flavors.
29:53 Benito Skinner? I'm sure there's a holiday flavor. Is there a peppermint?
29:56 Mary Beth Barone? There's a chocolate. I'm dining at my hands on some of those.
29:58 Benito Skinner? The chocolate is so fucking good.
30:01 Mary Beth Barone? You would never think of those things together as being like something so delectable.
30:05 Benito Skinner? Hey, sweet and salty. I'll take it.
30:09 Mary Beth Barone? Give me two, Ken.
30:10 Benito Skinner? Oh, God.
30:11 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, God. I would have here it's been on Ride. To think that all of that has happened in the first year, I don't even know what we're going to come up with in 2024.
30:20 Benito Skinner? This might be an absolutely impossible podcast to listen to by season two and that's what we want. It's for our, sorry, it's for our bronies. Put in the work, commit to something. Enunciate the fucking words.
30:32 Mary Beth Barone? If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything. We're gonna hear.
30:37 Benito Skinner? Mirror.
30:41 Mary Beth Barone? Stop it all. Oh, you're right.
30:44 Benito Skinner? Souls. In pain. Indeed. This one don't mean to be there. This one longs to get the gun. Do I help them? Yes, indeed.
30:55 Mary Beth Barone? We're gonna call up DJ Earworm and have him do a mashup of all of Ride's top songs of the year. It's gonna be a lot of Zed, it's gonna be a lot of Taylor, a lot of Katie.
31:04 Benito Skinner? For torture tactics.
31:07 Mary Beth Barone? To use against our enemies.
31:09 Benito Skinner? Exactly.
31:10 Mary Beth Barone? For worst day of the year.
31:11 Benito Skinner? For worst day of the year. Put these headphones on.
31:14 Mary Beth Barone? Think you're gonna like it.
31:15 Benito Skinner? And party on. Turn it up.
31:19 Mary Beth Barone? It's your favorite song.
31:20 Benito Skinner? Dance, dance, dance to the disco.
31:24 Mary Beth Barone? So that's the Encyclopedia Ride. That's the full thing. If you have any follow up questions, you can email us.
