0:47 Speaker 02 Hey, can you come pick me up? Yeah, what's wrong? Nothing. Are you sure? Yeah, no, I just need a ride.
0:55 Speaker 02 So why, I just want to have fun. Start your engines.
0:59 Benito Skinner? I'm Benito Skinner.
1:00 Mary Beth Barone? I'm Mary Beth Brown.
1:01 Benito Skinner? And this.
1:02 Mary Beth Barone? Is.
1:03 Benito Skinner? Ride.
1:06 Mary Beth Barone? I don't even know how to start today, honestly.
1:08 Benito Skinner? Well, we have to say.
1:10 Mary Beth Barone? Appearances.
1:10 Benito Skinner? Of course we have to, or else it'll consume us for the entire program. We have boldly chosen to look like absolute dog shit today. Shout out Sophie Pavitt, but I just got an Air Lays laser for my rosacea.
1:22 Mary Beth Barone? It looks very dewy, I will say.
1:23 Benito Skinner? Well, thanks, sweetie, but it's red and blotchy. I'm about 20 minutes post-lay, which I don't know if that was the smartest choice, but.
1:30 Mary Beth Barone? Look, we have to do stuff while we can. If it fits in the schedule, you just have to do it and deal with the repercussions later.
1:36 Benito Skinner? A hundred percent. I'm starting to schedule when I go to the bathroom, just based on the show.
1:41 Mary Beth Barone? And you have to. For me, right now, I've just had glam a few times. Glam privilege.
1:46 Benito Skinner? Glam, yeah, wait, can I just say, we had glam done yesterday and I like, didn't want to wash it off.
1:50 Mary Beth Barone? I know. I felt really good about the glam.
1:52 Benito Skinner? I looked in the mirror and I said, I like him.
1:54 Mary Beth Barone? We went out to dinner because the glam was so good. We had no intention of going out to dinner.
1:57 Benito Skinner? We would never not go to dinner if we've had glam done.
2:00 Mary Beth Barone? We would never not go to dinner if we've had glam done. So we did do that and I loved the glam and I loved what, you know, my hair was looking like and I'm just glad we got to experience that. But today we pay the price.
2:11 Benito Skinner? Of course we pay the price.
2:13 Mary Beth Barone? We're back into the pumpkin.
2:14 Benito Skinner? Well, this would happen to me all the time on, on this set if ever compensated. I gotta shut up about this stupid fucking show.
2:21 Mary Beth Barone? Getting a little weird.
2:22 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
2:23 Mary Beth Barone? A little weird.
2:23 Benito Skinner? I know people have said we wore makeup in the show.
2:26 Mary Beth Barone? And I'm not turning my head at all.
2:28 Benito Skinner? Us in the weekend.
2:29 Mary Beth Barone? Because of the blemish that I have.
2:30 Benito Skinner? I should be downturned the whole time.
2:32 Mary Beth Barone? This is me doing the pod today. I do it.
2:34 Benito Skinner? Literally, we go, oh, shits.
2:38 Mary Beth Barone? And I'm really sorry. I definitely, I feel like there are some people that only listen and they don't watch. And I don't want them to feel like they're not getting the full experience, but I am sorry. I guess that's just my big apology for the day and it won't be the last.
2:51 Benito Skinner? No, but we're trying our best to describe everything. So I would say Mary Beth, I don't think looks bad at all.
2:57 Mary Beth Barone? I'm wearing the actress uniform. I have a tube top on, sweatpants that say on the butt, "Make Yourself Hard to Kill" from Hollywood Gifts.
3:03 Benito Skinner? From?
3:03 Mary Beth Barone? Well, we're gonna get into that with my ride.
3:05 Benito Skinner? Can't wait.
3:05 Mary Beth Barone? And then I have my New York Rangers hat on. Let's go Rangers.
3:09 Benito Skinner? I don't know if I'm actor. I'm kind of like, I don't know what I am, but I'm blotchy and I'm so much cuter than this. I can't believe we're doing this in our current era of not having partners and we look like this.
3:17 Mary Beth Barone? I think it's important to.
3:18 Benito Skinner? We're unpartnered and ugly.
3:20 Mary Beth Barone? It's important to show that we are still real. As we become less and less relatable in our day to day lives to our listeners.
3:27 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
3:29 Mary Beth Barone? As they go on to have kids.
3:30 Benito Skinner? Stylist.
3:31 Mary Beth Barone? We're in a writer's room, babe. We gotta show them. You have off days too. There's days when there's no glam.
3:36 Benito Skinner? You are completely turned.
3:37 Mary Beth Barone? There's no glam.
3:40 Benito Skinner? She hasn't looked at me fucking once.
3:41 Mary Beth Barone? Well, and I'm loving this new vibe, especially because the wall, when you look at it, it's kind of dizzying.
3:46 Benito Skinner? Oh, the more you look at it, that's vertigo.
3:48 Mary Beth Barone? The more cross-eyed you'd become.
3:50 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
3:50 Mary Beth Barone? So.
3:50 Benito Skinner? Good luck.
3:51 Mary Beth Barone? I have some stuff to talk about.
3:53 Benito Skinner? Oh, well, the one thing I was gonna say about overcompensating was, yeah.
3:56 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, the one thing?
3:58 Benito Skinner? Whoa.
4:01 Benito Skinner? I just lost my mic.
4:02 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, awesome. I still hear you. You mean you lost your headphones?
4:06 Benito Skinner? I lost my headphone.
4:07 Mary Beth Barone? I'm not gonna let you get away with a mess up like that.
4:10 Benito Skinner? And you never would. But yeah, it would be like you're all glammed out all week and then on the weekends, I would see myself in the mirror after a week's worth of work.
4:19 Mary Beth Barone? Taking out behind the barn.
4:21 Benito Skinner? You gotta kill me.
4:22 Mary Beth Barone? Well, that's what would happen. You know, I had a lash extension era for like two years.
4:27 Benito Skinner? I was there.
4:28 Mary Beth Barone? I had no money. I had no money. Rare aesthetic, Mary Beth Barone's lash extension era. I had no money, but I would do the lash extensions. They tape your eyes shut. This was my time to just zen out because they tape your eyes shut.
4:42 Benito Skinner? That was me with my laser today. I'm, I see, I'm the opposite. I, I actually, no, that also sounds kind of painful. I like the heat of something on my, like, I like a little pain. I think it feels nice.
4:53 Mary Beth Barone? Well, but then when they all fall out, you're like, I guess I have to die. And then one time I had a cough when I was getting them, so I had to sit up with my eyes taped shut like.
5:04 Benito Skinner? Oh, God.
5:05 Mary Beth Barone? Well, they also have like 50 women in a room with their eyes taped shut. It's very that movie, oh my God, what's it called? With Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson where they're farming organs.
5:14 Benito Skinner? I was supposed to say, Don't Worry Darling.
5:16 Mary Beth Barone? Very that. What's that movie called? Where it's like surrogates.
5:19 Benito Skinner? Do you remember in Don't Worry Darling when they were like, okay, let's make Harry Styles ugly. He has facial hair.
5:24 Mary Beth Barone? And he's, well, there was a lot.
5:26 Benito Skinner? And they gave him acne or something too. I was thinking about that.
5:29 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, it's called The Island. Can I have a hot take here for one second?
5:33 Benito Skinner? I was completely enthralled with Don't Worry Darling and I think Florence Pugh, I could watch her in anything.
5:37 Mary Beth Barone? Me too.
5:38 Benito Skinner? So I had a great time.
5:39 Mary Beth Barone? And it was stylized. Can I just say stylizing a film and having interesting cinematography, it's gonna go a long way for me.
5:45 Benito Skinner? We're gonna talk about eternity.
5:46 Mary Beth Barone? The vision was there.
5:47 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
5:48 Mary Beth Barone? Needless to say.
5:49 Benito Skinner? Needless to say.
5:50 Mary Beth Barone? So yeah, lash extensions. I have a new challenge along the lines of Kid Leroy is dating Tate McCray.
5:57 Benito Skinner? What is it?
5:58 Mary Beth Barone? Or should I say Tate McCray is dating a Kid Leroy? And then to follow that, it's Tate McCray and the Kid Leroy broke up. The yassification of Sadie Sink.
6:07 Mary Beth Barone? Do you get that?
6:07 Benito Skinner? Is that an article?
6:08 Mary Beth Barone? No, I just came up with that this morning.
6:11 Benito Skinner? Oh, oh, so we're like, we're in our creative flow.
6:13 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, honey.
6:15 Benito Skinner? We're in flow.
6:15 Mary Beth Barone? Doesn't it have such a nice, like, rhythm?
6:18 Benito Skinner? The yassification of Sadie Sink.
6:20 Mary Beth Barone? The yassification of Sadie Sink. I think if I was gonna write a children's anthology, a children's...
6:25 Benito Skinner? Wait, it just hit me, sorry. It just hit me. I'm like completely sitting with it. I think it might be the most genius thing I've ever heard in my life. I'm not kidding.
6:33 Mary Beth Barone? She looks amazing, can I just say?
6:35 Benito Skinner? Well, and I love her name.
6:36 Mary Beth Barone? The yassification of Sadie Sink.
6:39 Benito Skinner? Oh, you added more yass. It's yass.
6:40 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, you know in Donnie Darko when they're like, cellar door is the most like satisfying mix of letters? Cellar door?
6:47 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
6:47 Mary Beth Barone? For me, again, we're modernizing. The yassification of Sadie Sink.
6:53 Benito Skinner? Fuck, we're coming out with Burt and we don't have that on it? I think she'd be totally fine. Her team would be like, we're happy with this.
6:58 Mary Beth Barone? By the way, this is, I'm praising, I think she looks, it's really hard, I think, for child actors to make that transition into adulthood. I've said this every day. I say this every day to you. I text you every single day, I say, it's very hard.
7:09 Benito Skinner? It's very difficult.
7:09 Mary Beth Barone? Very, very difficult.
7:10 Benito Skinner? Well, Sabrina Carpenter.
7:11 Mary Beth Barone? Sabrina Carpenter. The yassification of Sadie Sink. I saw her on the Stranger Things red carpet and I just thought to myself, I just think she's doing really, really good work.
7:19 Benito Skinner? Stunned. So I'm very embarrassed to say that I've never seen Stranger Things, but yesterday I said that to the writers room and everyone was like, holy fuck, like you have to watch it. So I guess like it'll just be one of those things I watch so late.
7:29 Mary Beth Barone? I kept thinking it was gonna end and then I was like, I'll catch up at that point because I've watched two seasons.
7:33 Benito Skinner? Same.
7:34 Mary Beth Barone? But then it kept going. So I just need to wait for it all to be out and I can have some private time, maybe over Christmas break or something.
7:40 Benito Skinner? It's across 10 years.
7:41 Mary Beth Barone? Sure.
7:42 Benito Skinner? Whatever is like haunting these kids is like addicted to them.
7:45 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, no, it's not good.
7:47 Benito Skinner? But by the end they're going, okay Sadie.
7:49 Mary Beth Barone? Okay Sadie, we're gonna leave that one alone.
7:51 Benito Skinner? Just this girl.
7:53 Mary Beth Barone? She's doing amazing.
7:53 Benito Skinner? Good for her, I love that.
7:55 Mary Beth Barone? And good for her.
7:55 Benito Skinner? The yassification of Sadie Sink. I can only hope I think of something as brilliant as that soon.
7:59 Mary Beth Barone? Well, you're, you're in the writers room, you have a lot of, you're thinking of a lot right now and can I say? A lot of what I'm hearing, it's as good as that or better.
8:06 Benito Skinner? Thank you, sweetie.
8:07 Mary Beth Barone? Hey, can I just say?
8:08 Benito Skinner? Thank you.
8:10 Mary Beth Barone? Don't, we're bleeping that.
8:11 Benito Skinner? We're bleep that, but it is.
8:12 Mary Beth Barone? But that's my favorite line.
8:13 Benito Skinner? I think it's my favorite line too. You know what I'm having that's so fun?
8:17 Mary Beth Barone? I don't, tell me.
8:19 Benito Skinner? Writing, flirting, I should do a masterclass on it. I think it's the most fun thing in the world because essentially, this is my big, you know, this, hey, get your notepads out, kids.
8:30 Mary Beth Barone? But pull over if you're driving, then get the notepad out.
8:33 Benito Skinner? Well, of course, but flirting is the most fun to write because it's like, what's the hottest thing in the world someone could respond to this? And then you just do that.
8:43 Mary Beth Barone? I think about it all the time.
8:44 Benito Skinner? My toes curl, I start to sweat.
8:45 Mary Beth Barone? I know.
8:46 Benito Skinner? Cause I wrote something for a character to say to you and I was just like, oh my God. It's the Lady Gaga, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I've had a couple of drinks and, oh my God.
8:54 Mary Beth Barone? Oh my God, but the thing is, it's like, it's also vulnerable to have someone read that. You know what I mean? Like what you think is fortacious.
9:01 Benito Skinner? Yeah, but I mean, I'm killing.
9:03 Mary Beth Barone? Well, totally, but it's just like, this is what my twisted mind would say if I could say anything.
9:08 Benito Skinner? It's just like having like any kind of kindness and romanticism and then maybe like saying the person's name like once or twice.
9:15 Mary Beth Barone? Dangerous. Station. We are needless to say, hosting the GQ Man of the Year Awards.
9:21 Benito Skinner? Yes.
9:21 Mary Beth Barone? They saw the work we did with Bestie of the Year.
9:23 Benito Skinner? They saw that and they said, we have to capitalize on this.
9:25 Mary Beth Barone? Get them on the horn right now.
9:26 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
9:27 Mary Beth Barone? And so we're going to London, we're flying across the world to go give some awards out and dare I say, be honored ourselves.
9:35 Benito Skinner? Be honored ourselves.
9:36 Mary Beth Barone? You're looking at two men of the year.
9:37 Benito Skinner? Yeah. Let's hear it for the man of the year.
9:42 Mary Beth Barone? So that's really cool. So I guess there's a live stream, we're learning about it at the same time you are, so.
9:47 Benito Skinner? I mean, our teams know about all this stuff. We kind of, as I say to people, I just get in the car.
9:51 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
9:52 Benito Skinner? So people keep asking me, they go, where is that thing tonight? And I go, you think a little guy like me would know something like that?
9:57 Mary Beth Barone? I've never known less about where I'm going than, and it's surrender.
10:01 Benito Skinner? I just put my hands up and I get in the car and I guess this is kind of a warning to, to my friends and family, I'll get into any car and just, take me away.
10:11 Mary Beth Barone? Something crazy happened at LAX, which was that I had an Uber coming and there was a car that arrived, same exact type of car, same two, last two letters of the license plate. And so I was getting in it and this guy came up and he was like, that's not your car. And I was like, okay, we're gonna figure this out.
10:28 Benito Skinner? Imagine caring about shit like that.
10:29 Mary Beth Barone? Hey, hey.
10:30 Benito Skinner? You know what I think about? Well, now it'll be the yassification of city thing, but is the, could it matter any less?
10:37 Mary Beth Barone? We're, hey, hey, sir.
10:40 Benito Skinner? I see you.
10:41 Mary Beth Barone? I see you.
10:41 Benito Skinner? He'd get hard immediately. I see you. Just goes, "Bozenga."
10:45 Mary Beth Barone? Bozenga. Calm down. Why don't you go jerk off quickly and then come back? Let off some steam.
10:50 Benito Skinner? And I know it'll be quick, because you just saw me. That's what you say.
10:53 Mary Beth Barone? How come everyone touched their bird after they see Mary Beth Barone flat chest?
10:56 Benito Skinner? At LAX. Oh, my thing is, is like, let people cancel things. Oh, my God, could anything matter less? Like, who actually cares? I don't even care if you went through an effort to do it. Let people cancel. It's just not a big deal. Like, it's just never a big deal. It doesn't matter. I know it doesn't.
11:12 Mary Beth Barone? There's enough.
11:12 Benito Skinner? Come on, dude. I just like, I need people to get over it. I know you want to see me, but you can't.
11:19 Mary Beth Barone? Well, you will.
11:19 Benito Skinner? It's a movie.
11:20 Mary Beth Barone? Can I say one thing? You will.
11:21 Benito Skinner? You will when it matters.
11:22 Mary Beth Barone? It's just like, not in this case, for whatever, you're not available for.
11:25 Benito Skinner? No, I have to write teens. I have to write teens.
11:29 Mary Beth Barone? Either we're taking pics of teens.
11:31 Benito Skinner? Teens. Or we're not. Positively or willian. I miss the Gossip Girl reboot.
11:36 Mary Beth Barone? Me too. I watched the whole thing with my niece.
11:37 Benito Skinner? And me.
11:38 Mary Beth Barone? And you. So, I was sleeping.
11:41 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
11:41 Mary Beth Barone? One of my favorite things to do.
11:43 Benito Skinner? Oh, I'm, I, it's my, I would love to do it.
11:45 Mary Beth Barone? You're not an alien right now. Let's be honest, you're not an alien right now.
11:48 Benito Skinner? I'm a D student. As far as sleep, it's so bad. And I can, I can feel it. I can feel it in the workouts.
11:54 Mary Beth Barone? I had just come back from LA, so I was three hours behind. My body felt three hours behind.
12:00 Benito Skinner? My body.
12:00 Mary Beth Barone? My body.
12:01 Benito Skinner? You like my body?
12:02 Mary Beth Barone? So, I had to wake up really early. And my alarm went off, and I was sleeping so deeply that when my alarm went off, it genuinely felt like that moment in Interstellar when they do the first handshake. I was being poked by something from another dimension.
12:19 Benito Skinner? It's the Hans Zimmer.
12:20 Mary Beth Barone? Literally.
12:21 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
12:21 Mary Beth Barone? But it was like, something with my brain, and, and the way the alarm sounded, it literally felt like a creature from another dimension had broken through.
12:29 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
12:29 Mary Beth Barone? And was shaking me.
12:31 Benito Skinner? You feel that shit in your soul.
12:32 Mary Beth Barone? It was so crazy.
12:33 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
12:33 Mary Beth Barone? And I've never been able to put it into words before, but as you could see with the ossification of Sadie Sink, I'm on fire right now.
12:39 Benito Skinner? Yeah, of course.
12:39 Mary Beth Barone? So, that's what it really felt like. I felt a tingle, because I was like, there's more to all this.
12:44 Benito Skinner? Of course there is.
12:45 Mary Beth Barone? Have you ever been woken up by an alarm and you just think to yourself, there's more to all this?
12:48 Benito Skinner? Yeah, didn't Albert Einstein, who lived in the 1990s, say that?
12:51 Mary Beth Barone? He was around when Full House was on.
12:53 Benito Skinner? Oh, my God, he loved Full House. He was such Mary Kate.
12:56 Mary Beth Barone? No, totally. We'll just bring up the Olsen Twins as much as possible this season.
13:01 Benito Skinner? Good.
13:03 Mary Beth Barone? Hey you guys, Mary Beth here. We're back in the Titans submersible and I'm doing ads. We are actually, I'm in the middle of a fitting, if you can even believe that, for the GQ Man of the Year Awards. Everyone wanna say their names?

13:18 Mary Beth Barone? All the girls are here to help me look snatched tonight. And by the time you hear this ad, it will have already happened. So hopefully you've gone and liked all the photos on every account. But that's actually not even what I'm here to talk about. I'm here to talk about K18. The secret to keeping your hair looking like total perfection is the K18 Molecular Repair Hair Mask. I slept four hours last night, by the way.

No matter what I put it through, and yeah, Benny and I put my hair through a lot. Penny says that in the copy.

18:00 Benito Skinner? Seasons, seasons is what it's feeling like.
18:02 Mary Beth Barone? 525,600 minutes.
18:07 Benito Skinner? How took you measure? A season of a ride. How about love?
18:13 Mary Beth Barone? In copies, internet. I don't know all the words.
18:17 Benito Skinner? In breakups, in copies. It's hell. Tell me that's not it. In breakups, in Dunkin' ads? In?
18:27 Benito Skinner? I'm so.
18:28 Mary Beth Barone? We have more Dunkin' ads coming.
18:29 Benito Skinner? Yeah, and like.
18:30 Mary Beth Barone? I had to send some pretty fiery texts this morning. We're not gonna get into it.
18:34 Benito Skinner? She sent some hard truths. She said, I need to know when and I need to know how. And I need to know why. She's, when I.
18:43 Mary Beth Barone? Dunkin' partner, we love you.
18:44 Benito Skinner? No, we love you Dunkin', like totally. As I have a full.
18:49 Mary Beth Barone? Nothing. You have a full nothing, so.
18:52 Benito Skinner? There wasn't a Dunkin' nearby. We'll probably have to cut all that.
18:54 Mary Beth Barone? I'm not cutting that. And we're not cutting us talking about cutting. I've really been enjoying us keeping when we talk about cutting stuff. It's just like, we have some stuff to hide, but not much.
19:03 Benito Skinner? No, I mean, you've taken everything from us.
19:06 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, it's all, it's for the applause.
19:08 Benito Skinner? Our hearts on the floor.
19:09 Mary Beth Barone? It's for the applause.
19:10 Benito Skinner? Speaking of heart on the floor.
19:11 Mary Beth Barone? Oh.
19:12 Benito Skinner? What else did I hear? Lux, I, so I have to talk about albums as they happen now because anything could happen. Lux is the best thing I've ever heard in my life. I was so ill-prepared. And I get in an Uber and I'm driving across the Williamsburg Bridge, listening to the first two tracks.
19:28 Mary Beth Barone? At night.
19:28 Benito Skinner? You know what I thought? Going off my ride last week? Can I just say going into Museum, listening to Lux?
19:34 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
19:34 Benito Skinner? Yeah, okay, fine. I'mma stay through the album.
19:37 Mary Beth Barone? Sometimes I just think-
19:38 Benito Skinner? I'm shocked right now.
19:39 Mary Beth Barone? I just think like, there's some music boys shouldn't get to listen to.
19:43 Benito Skinner? I agree, except homosexuals.
19:44 Mary Beth Barone? Well, that's not-
19:46 Benito Skinner? I know, I know you didn't mean it.
19:47 Mary Beth Barone? That's not what I meant.
19:47 Benito Skinner? Yeah, I know. But people twist your fucking words.
19:50 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, they do.
19:51 Benito Skinner? But it's just like, in my head, it's like you're in a museum in Madrid and like, a guy's drawing you, I guess.
19:57 Mary Beth Barone? And can I say one thing? Listening to Rosalía, my apartment becomes the museum. I'm looking at my stuff in a totally different way.
20:04 Benito Skinner? Of course.
20:04 Mary Beth Barone? And I just have to think to myself, there's gotta be more to all this.
20:06 Benito Skinner? Look at my body, the contortions of my body in a different way.
20:09 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, it's making me wanna learn Spanish.
20:10 Benito Skinner? It's making me wanna go to Madrid. Let's go. Come on now. And San Sebastian.
20:15 Mary Beth Barone? San Sebastian.
20:16 Benito Skinner? The motherland, my grandma.
20:17 Mary Beth Barone? I love a shout out to the District of Colombia.
20:19 Benito Skinner? Yeah, DC.
20:20 Mary Beth Barone? DC.
20:21 Benito Skinner? They deserved it.
20:21 Mary Beth Barone? Things can happen there.
20:23 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
20:23 Mary Beth Barone? Nothing good recently, but we know Rosalía went there at least one time.
20:26 Benito Skinner? When I was in college and it was Obama, as I said, Obama, Pitch Perfect and Frozen, we used to have culture.
20:32 Mary Beth Barone? I wasn't, I wasn't a Democrat at that time. I couldn't even enjoy it.
20:36 Benito Skinner? I had a fling with a guy in college who was a Romney, Romney guy. I found that out late.
20:40 Mary Beth Barone? Romney, though, now looking back-
20:42 Benito Skinner? It kind of shook me to my core, actually.
20:44 Mary Beth Barone? I'd fuck with him at this point.
20:46 Benito Skinner? Oh, yeah.
20:47 Mary Beth Barone? What I would pay, what I would give.
20:49 Benito Skinner? Hundred percent. It used to be like, you know, ugh, I roll. Yeah.
20:55 Mary Beth Barone? I mean, definitely a lot of evil happening, but not at this level.
20:58 Benito Skinner? Nancy Reagan, like, how's the fiery pits of hell? Like, do you like the taste of the fiery flames of hell?
21:04 Mary Beth Barone? Don't tell me.
21:04 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
21:05 Mary Beth Barone? Ugh, ugh.
21:06 Benito Skinner? Is it hot down there?
21:08 Mary Beth Barone? Hmm.
21:08 Benito Skinner? No one touched their birds when they meet Nancy Reagan.
21:11 Mary Beth Barone? No.
21:12 Benito Skinner? I think I did write down one thing to say to you.
21:15 Mary Beth Barone? You wrote down, can we skip to the good part?
21:17 Benito Skinner? Oh, well, someone brought that up, and they're like, that was such an era, and like, it couldn't be more this season. Also, was Rosalía on the song, is it, I don't wanna butcher the pronunciation?
21:28 Mary Beth Barone? Don't you dare.
21:29 Benito Skinner? Reliquia?
21:30 Mary Beth Barone? Reliquia.
21:32 Benito Skinner? Reliquia.
21:33 Mary Beth Barone? I don't know, I'm sure that I'm saying it wrong.
21:34 Benito Skinner? Someone goes, travel privilege?
21:36 Mary Beth Barone? No, and I love that.
21:37 Benito Skinner? I was dying. I was like, that's incredible.
21:39 Mary Beth Barone? The last thing I'll say before we get into what we ride for. I forgot being single when you hook up with people, everyone's first question. Dick size.
21:47 Benito Skinner? Oh, yeah. What do I say?
21:49 Mary Beth Barone? You say, was the dick friendly? Did it make you feel safe? Better questions.
21:54 Benito Skinner? Is that not a perfect question?
21:55 Mary Beth Barone? If you ask me the size, I'm just never gonna tell you. You wanna know how big someone's dick is? Why don't you go hook up with them? I had to earn that information.
22:02 Benito Skinner? Exactly.
22:02 Mary Beth Barone? And that information is a privilege.
22:04 Benito Skinner? Yes.
22:04 Mary Beth Barone? I'm never gonna tell you.
22:05 Benito Skinner? I'm more interested in like, did you have the best time?
22:07 Mary Beth Barone? I know.
22:08 Benito Skinner? Was the dick nice to you? Was it friendly? Was it exciting? Did it create a safe space?
22:14 Mary Beth Barone? Because the other thing people do, which I hate, they say, how big was the dick? I say, I'm not gonna tell you. They go, oh, so it was small. Nothing I can say, nothing I can say back to that. Because if I say no, then I'm answering their question. So what I say is just like, I'm not telling you. I'm not telling you. And I say, you know what I say? I say, the dick was perfect.
22:31 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
22:32 Mary Beth Barone? Cause it's not about the size.
22:33 Benito Skinner? As many dicks are.
22:34 Mary Beth Barone? As many dicks are, and it's not about the size. It's about who it's attached to.
22:38 Benito Skinner? Completely agree. I think that's beautiful.
22:39 Mary Beth Barone? I think we need to change the conversation around penises.
22:41 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
22:42 Mary Beth Barone? Let's get into what we ride for.
22:43 Benito Skinner? And dear media, so if you don't clip that, it's starting to feel personal at this point. And while I've looked uglier than I ever have in my entire life. But yeah, I would ask your friends, is it friendly?
22:54 Mary Beth Barone? I just watched you do something that really.
22:57 Benito Skinner? God, I'm like itchy.
22:59 Mary Beth Barone? Face is red. Wanna feel old? This is the Puffs Plus Girl.
23:05 Benito Skinner? This is a Puffs Plus Girl.
23:06 Mary Beth Barone? And she's crass.
23:07 Benito Skinner? The yassification of Sadie's sake.
23:10 Mary Beth Barone? The Puffs Plus Girl.
23:11 Benito Skinner? Wait, you are the yassification of the Puffs Plus Girl. I will be writing for always checking a bag. This might be the first die from you. And I'm excited because it will actually make the format of this pod make any lick of sense.
23:22 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, well, I'm gonna ride for sharing clothes.
23:24 Benito Skinner? Any lick of sense, who cares?
23:26 Mary Beth Barone? No, a lick of sense is totally a phrase.
23:28 Benito Skinner? No, I know, but I just, no one's ever used it like I just did.
23:32 Mary Beth Barone? I, okay, and guess what?
23:33 Benito Skinner? Any lick of sense?
23:35 Mary Beth Barone? Do you, do you know that we're constantly revolutionizing the arm of this podcast?
23:38 Benito Skinner? Of course.
23:39 Mary Beth Barone? And that includes language.
23:40 Benito Skinner? Mm-hmm.
23:41 Mary Beth Barone? Sounds not words has been huge this year, so.
23:43 Benito Skinner? Well, it's been huge for, I mean, it's probably been like detrimental to the snitch community.
23:48 Mary Beth Barone? Well, and to just boyfriends everywhere.
23:50 Benito Skinner? Mrs. McCarson, I think you met. That could never be me. I don't give a fuck.
23:56 Mary Beth Barone? That was me sometimes. It was more my sister Pam, but. Wait, where are we going?
24:01 Benito Skinner? Who cares? Ride! You go first, sweetie.
24:05 Mary Beth Barone? So, here's what I want to say about today. I'm wearing pants given to me by Benny Drama. I'm wearing a jean jacket given to me by Benny Drama. I love sharing clothes. I think not only is it, it creates sisterhood. One of the best lines from "Overcompensating." They're your sisters, why don't you buy a pair of pants and send it around?
24:23 Benito Skinner? Send them around, yeah.
24:24 Mary Beth Barone? You're starting to piss me off, or whatever that-
24:26 Benito Skinner? You're pissing me off?
24:26 Mary Beth Barone? You're pissing me off! I just think the practice of sharing clothes can be so powerful. I have two older sisters, and I was constantly sneaking into their rooms and taking stuff. And in fact, today, at your birthday party, there's a collection of dresses I have kept from my sisters over the years. I actually had both of their prom dresses tailored, so I could wear them on red carpets or events in the future. And they're so classy. My sisters have amazing taste. Even though they didn't care about brands, they had amazing taste.
24:53 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
24:53 Mary Beth Barone? And I'm wearing a dress that was purchased from the Stanford mall at BB, tonight, for your birthday.
24:58 Benito Skinner? And I'm wearing Abercrombie.
25:00 Mary Beth Barone? In the early aughts.
25:01 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
25:01 Mary Beth Barone? And I'm so excited. And so, my friends and I in high school, I mean, I've been sharing clothes forever, but my friends and I in high school, we were obsessed with designer jeans. Citizens of Humanity, Seven Frill Man.
25:11 Benito Skinner? Can I say something? Rockin' Republic!
25:13 Mary Beth Barone? Rockin' Republic!
25:14 Benito Skinner? I got them!
25:15 Mary Beth Barone? True religion, honey.
25:16 Benito Skinner? True religion.
25:17 Mary Beth Barone? We, and so-
25:18 Benito Skinner? Seven Jeans.
25:19 Mary Beth Barone? What you can do when you have a group of 10 girls, who all have a lust for designer jeans, the amount of designer jeans you have access to increases tenfold. We would bring the jeans in, we would plan our outfits. We'd go, "I want to wear the eight pockets on Thursday." Seven Jeans had these different types of pockets.
25:33 Benito Skinner? Of course.
25:34 Mary Beth Barone? Status symbol. So, I would be like, "Okay, Lauren, can I borrow your eight pockets on Thursday? I'm gonna wear it with this top." And then she would bring it in a little shopping bag. I would carry it around with me for the day. And it's like, boom, I have a whole new pair of jeans. And obviously, there are certain items, I think it's really important when you're sharing clothes to ask first.
25:51 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
25:52 Mary Beth Barone? You shouldn't just take because it's a privilege, not a right. I just love seeing my clothes like shine on someone else. What's unfortunate is that you can't really borrow my clothes, but I have had a long, long life of borrowing yours.
26:05 Benito Skinner? My archive, I mean, come on down. I actually, there's nothing I love more than someone going in and wearing my-
26:10 Mary Beth Barone? That wraps them in pink shirt.
26:10 Benito Skinner? Oh, it's so cute. Wait, I, I was supposed to give that to you. I brought it. It's coming to New York. It's in a box. I recently just went through all my clothes, said hi to all my friends, my girls, my guys, like I just love them, my non-binaries.
26:23 Mary Beth Barone? They, they, they, them.
26:25 Benito Skinner? Everybody, like you can just feel it. There's nothing more I love than when someone goes and puts on my clothes. I'm like, hell yeah. It's very in her shoes. I'm like, give these the life they deserve.
26:34 Mary Beth Barone? Yes.
26:34 Benito Skinner? I'm like, I can't wear all this all the time. There's a few things that I agree with that are a little tricky. Like if it's something I wear like very consistently, I am like, that might smell and or like, I don't know if you necessarily want to put that on. And then there's one tiny rule where it's like, if it's a really good piece, I feel like you can't wear it first.
26:52 Mary Beth Barone? I was literally just gonna say that.
26:53 Benito Skinner? That's my only rule.
26:54 Mary Beth Barone? Two sides of the same coin.
26:55 Benito Skinner? And you know what my thing is? If it looks really good on them, keep it.
26:58 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah. And that's just because you're a very generous person.
27:01 Benito Skinner? No, but I'm just like, I don't just, it's so fun to, to see the clothes on my, on my muses. Yeah.
27:07 Mary Beth Barone? I bought this orange Vivienne Westwood dress for a lesbian wedding that I went to this summer, Kira and Ilana.
27:13 Benito Skinner? Love that dress.
27:14 Mary Beth Barone? And the dress is just so explosive. So my friend Rachel had to go to a wedding and she was like, can I wear that? And I said, of course, but prepare to get more compliments than you've ever gotten in your entire life. She texted me in the middle of this wedding and she goes, 10 people have stopped me, including people that weren't even at the wedding. Like they were walking to the reception, stopped her and said, that dress is amazing. Tell me everything.
27:32 Benito Skinner? Says the Vivian.
27:33 Mary Beth Barone? And what could bring me more joy than like my, cause I can't wear them all at once. God knows I can't wear them all at once.
27:38 Benito Skinner? Do you remember how brutal it was though, in like middle school where you would loan something to a friend and then they got compliments the entire night? Some shit like that would have sent me into psychosis, but now I'm like, that's all right.
27:49 Mary Beth Barone? Now it's okay.
27:49 Benito Skinner? And I go, I know where you got that fucking shit. Yeah, for those of us with a shopping addiction, it's so fun to to watch it. Start to feel like it's doing some good.
27:59 Mary Beth Barone? Absolutely. And I mean, I've been selling a lot through the real real lately, and that's just the ultimate way to give your clothes new life. Because it's like, if I'm not wearing it anymore, then I want it to, I want it to be seen, be seen, you know?
28:10 Benito Skinner? I wonder if you feel this. I can always tell when I see something at the real real, if it was bought by someone who's a nepo baby. I can like feel it.
28:17 Mary Beth Barone? I love that.
28:18 Benito Skinner? Do you know what I mean? Like, I just kind of know if it's like, if the piece was bought by someone who earned all of the money.
28:24 Mary Beth Barone? Right.
28:24 Benito Skinner? Or came into great wealth. It was something very.
28:28 Mary Beth Barone? That's beautiful.
28:29 Benito Skinner? Isn't that really beautiful?
28:30 Mary Beth Barone? That's your third eye.
28:30 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
28:31 Mary Beth Barone? Unfortunately, my third eye is I am a little bit psychic. Yours is that you can tell if clothes on the real real were bought.
28:37 Benito Skinner? Do you think I'm a little bit psychic? I see everything. I saw your entire future when I saw your set the first night we met. I'm not.
28:43 Mary Beth Barone? I know. I agree with that.
28:45 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
28:45 Mary Beth Barone? I agree with that.
28:46 Benito Skinner? What's, okay, so what's your favorite piece?
28:48 Mary Beth Barone? Of yours?
28:49 Benito Skinner? Yes.
28:50 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, my God.
28:50 Benito Skinner? That I put on you.
28:51 Mary Beth Barone? Well, it's hard to say.
28:53 Benito Skinner? I really love you in that Letterman's jacket. I think it's so.
28:55 Mary Beth Barone? I wore that this morning to get my coffee.
28:57 Benito Skinner? You didn't.
28:57 Mary Beth Barone? The Valentino.
28:58 Benito Skinner? You didn't?
28:59 Mary Beth Barone? I did.
28:59 Benito Skinner? I love that jacket.
29:00 Mary Beth Barone? I loved this dress I wore, or it's a shirt, actually. So what's cool is when you date someone.
29:15 Benito Skinner? Oh, so you're trying to go public? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. So these habits.
29:23 Mary Beth Barone? When you.
29:23 Benito Skinner? You're not friend zoning me.
29:25 Mary Beth Barone? When you're best friends with someone.
29:27 Benito Skinner? No, no, no, no, no, no.
29:28 Mary Beth Barone? With the body of a linebacker.
29:30 Benito Skinner? Don't let this go. Baby, Freudian slip, honey. Neutralized attraction. Oh, my God. Now, when someone goes, are you dating someone, I go.
29:41 Mary Beth Barone? Yes.
29:41 Benito Skinner? Well, yes.
29:43 Mary Beth Barone? When you're best friends with someone with the body of a linebacker, his shirts thus become dresses.
29:49 Benito Skinner? Yeah, of course.
29:50 Mary Beth Barone? So I wore this dress to a Margiela store opening. Do you remember the Carrie?
29:55 Benito Skinner? The JW Anderson Carrie collection.
29:56 Mary Beth Barone? It was so good.
29:57 Benito Skinner? No, I literally have to go.
29:58 Mary Beth Barone? With Miu Miu platforms.
29:59 Benito Skinner? Do you see, I just saw my entire closet coming out of JW Anderson Carrie collection.
30:03 Mary Beth Barone? I loved that. And I thought it was unexpected.
30:05 Benito Skinner? Sissy Spacek, I love you in that.
30:07 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, I love so much of your stuff.
30:09 Benito Skinner? I hadn't worn it yet.
30:10 Mary Beth Barone? But it was your idea for me to wear it.
30:12 Benito Skinner? Of course. No, no, no.
30:13 Mary Beth Barone? I would never ever do that.
30:14 Benito Skinner? I know, but it was, actually, you know, like, I'm breaking every rule for you.
30:20 Mary Beth Barone? I can't hit those notes.
30:24 Mary Beth Barone? Whoa.
30:26 Benito Skinner? Whoa, the producer just left because he was like, I gotta.
30:29 Mary Beth Barone? He said, I need to take a lap real quick.
30:30 Benito Skinner? He said, whoa.
30:32 Mary Beth Barone? Oh.
30:32 Benito Skinner? He's like, you're not signed.
30:33 Mary Beth Barone? That just hit me.
30:34 Benito Skinner? You're not signed, right?
30:35 Mary Beth Barone? You're not signed. So I think sharing clothes can be really beautiful. Obviously, you have those friends that don't take care of the clothes. They decimate the clothes and you have to set a boundary.
30:44 Benito Skinner? You almost cleaned them too much. I'm like, oh, I don't like the starchiness.
30:47 Mary Beth Barone? No, I know, but I have to take care of them.
30:49 Benito Skinner? I know. Oh, you know what's tricky? The hardest thing I think to share is shoes just because of smell and wear. And I don't know, that one's a little tricky for me. Also, it's funny, it's like in being in gay relationships. Everyone was always like, do you share clothes so much? Oddly, no, I don't know why, but I'm, you know, open to it, but.
31:09 Mary Beth Barone? But you guys have different style.
31:11 Benito Skinner? Yeah, that can be, yeah. That's, that can be a thing.
31:14 Mary Beth Barone? Nothing better than shopping Benny Drama's closet.
31:16 Benito Skinner? But you know what's so fun is that sometimes, though, you kind of know when it's not like, you know, if I get something and it's actually not quite me, I'm like, oh, I got this. This is for someone else.
31:25 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, and sometimes that someone else is me.
31:28 Benito Skinner? It's Mary Beth Barrow and I got this for Mary Beth. Sometimes when there's a rumbling, is that a subway?
31:33 Mary Beth Barone? I don't know. I think it's Bane. He's down there. He's setting some shit up.
31:38 Benito Skinner? Awesome.
31:38 Mary Beth Barone? There's gonna be a sinkhole here later.
31:40 Benito Skinner? Yeah, there's gonna be a reckoning. I do think a reckoning is coming, by the way.
31:43 Mary Beth Barone? For sure. Oh, it's happening right now.
31:45 Benito Skinner? You and your friends better batten down the hatches.
31:47 Mary Beth Barone? Exactly.
31:48 Benito Skinner? When Anne said that to him and she's like, when she leans in and does that whisper, well, it's Anne. Yeah.
31:53 Mary Beth Barone? No one's ever called her Anne.
31:54 Benito Skinner? Well, it's Annie. She leans, she leans in and goes, you and your friends better batten down the hatches and wonder why you feel so good and the breasts and the lips sell out for the rest of us.
32:04 Mary Beth Barone? You know, she credits Christopher Nolan for saving her career.
32:07 Benito Skinner? I know, and.
32:08 Mary Beth Barone? His Interstellar.
32:08 Benito Skinner? And I just think she's brilliant and her performance in Interstellar and as Catwoman, when she backflips out of that window.
32:15 Mary Beth Barone? Incredible.
32:15 Benito Skinner? Nothing more I'd like to do.
32:17 Mary Beth Barone? My friend Carrie, who I stayed with in LA, she's kind of a legend. Amazing closet to shop, wow. And I always ask first because it's polite.
32:25 Benito Skinner? Well, you should always ask.
32:27 Mary Beth Barone? I think some roommate situations they're not asking and that's a huge problem for me.
32:30 Benito Skinner? I agree. The one thing that drives me crazy sometimes, though, is if someone just goes in and then puts on like a really good sweatshirt or something, or like a really good piece for like just chilling or like farting around. And it's like, okay, well, you kind of picked the best thing we got here.
32:45 Mary Beth Barone? That's insane.
32:45 Benito Skinner? You gotta chill.
32:46 Mary Beth Barone? That's just not okay.
32:47 Benito Skinner? It's just so not. Actually, I act like I've cared about anything like that. I really haven't. You could like destroy something and there's only a few pieces that I'd be like, oh, that makes me sad for a couple of minutes.
32:58 Mary Beth Barone? One time I let my friend borrow a J. Crew sweater and I was like, just don't put it in the dryer. It was wool. I shopped a lot of J. Crew in high school. I loved it. And unfortunately, her mom washed it, put it in the dryer. It did shrink and became unwearable. And it was a really good lesson for me to just go, that's okay. It's a sweater. It's okay. It's not going to affect our friendship.
33:16 Benito Skinner? Yeah, but you don't talk to her anymore.
33:17 Mary Beth Barone? Well, no, yeah. We haven't spoken in years, but.
33:20 Benito Skinner? Since she ruined your fucking sweater.
33:22 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, yeah, because that's unforgivable. It's good for my control issues. It's exposure therapy. Just be like, this person's going to wear this thing and it's going to be okay.
33:30 Benito Skinner? I wonder if mine is actually just tied to me being like, take everything, love me.
33:33 Mary Beth Barone? Probably.
33:34 Benito Skinner? That.

When I saw that I was doing ads alone today, I said, "I hope to God we're doing Bilt this week." Because you know I just can't shut up about Bilt. It's almost 2026, and you're still paying rent without Bilt? We can't have that. Bilt is a loyalty program for renters that rewards you for your biggest monthly expense: rent. And I don't like paying rent. I think land ownership is theft, but I don't know, Bilt makes it feel a little better. Bilt is the loyalty program for renters that rewards you monthly with points and exclusive benefits in your neighborhood. Let me explain. With Bilt, every rent payment, you, every rent payment, and don't cut that, Jackson,
35:44 Mary Beth Barone? this is real and raw, it's 550 in my mind. With Bilt, every rent payment earns you points that can be used toward flights, hotels, Lyft rides, Amazon.com purchases, and so much more. When you pay rent through Bilt, you unlock exclusive benefits from a network of more than 45,000 merchants. Yeah. Just link your credit cards, spend at your favorite local spots, earn Bilt points on top of your regular credit card rewards, and get one step closer to that trip you wanted to take. Personally, I am going to redeem my points for my New Year's trip with Benny Drama 7. That's right. We're taking our romance international. Built Points have been ranked the most valuable point currency by the Points Guy. And they just announced Built Cash, a way to unlock even more from Built's partners. Should I slide into the Points Guy's DMs?
36:29 Mary Beth Barone? It's simple, paying rent is better with Built. Earn rewards and finally get something back for being a renter. Join the loyalty program for renters at joinbilt.com/ride. That's J-O-I-N-B-I-L-T.com/ride. And make sure to use our URL so they know we sent you. Oh my gosh, you guys, as the air turns crisp and the holidays draw near, comfort becomes the best gift of all.

Honestly, Quince Italian wool coats are at the top of my list. If someone won't buy me one of those this year, I quit.

By working directly with ethical, top-tier factories, Quince skips the middlemen and offers prices 50% less than similar brands. So needless to say, I have an Italian wool coat on the way.

38:21 Benito Skinner? Should I get into what I ride for?
38:22 Mary Beth Barone? I would love if you did.
38:23 Benito Skinner? I'm gonna ride for always checking a bag.
38:26 Mary Beth Barone? I'm white knuckling this whole ride.
38:28 Benito Skinner? I know.
38:29 Mary Beth Barone? Let's get into it.
38:30 Benito Skinner? I can't wait for you to die for this. What did I die for? Text threads?
38:33 Mary Beth Barone? Text threads and group. No, it was group chats and something else. You've died for two things. I don't remember what the second one was.
38:39 Benito Skinner? Well, we had a hater one, right? Didn't we die for?
38:41 Mary Beth Barone? It wasn't that. You died.
38:42 Benito Skinner? I died for Teslas.
38:43 Mary Beth Barone? You died for something else.
38:44 Benito Skinner? Oh, and oh, your big stickers that say, I hate the CEO are really doing a lot of work, you guys. Hey, love the car, hate CEO. It's like.
38:53 Mary Beth Barone? He's on his way to being the first trillionaire for what it's worth.
38:57 Benito Skinner? Jesus, I loved Billie Eilish saying.
38:59 Mary Beth Barone? That was so cool.
39:00 Benito Skinner? Why?
39:00 Mary Beth Barone? That you just gave me a little.
39:02 Benito Skinner? Isn't that incredible? Did she say why?
39:03 Mary Beth Barone? She said, you guys need to give away your money.
39:05 Benito Skinner? Yeah, it's incredible. I ride for always checking a bag. So here we go. So this is gonna ruffle so many feathers, but I just kind of always deal. So there's nothing.
39:17 Mary Beth Barone? I'm sitting back.
39:18 Benito Skinner? I hate more. After I just talked about, hey, after I just talked about the archive that you left, get your sticky fucking fingers in. I love to be on a trip and have options. I like to have options of tops, pantalones, shoes. I like multiple workout things. I can't just bring one. There's not a washer dryer and I'm not trying to smell like shit. Like if someone thinks I smell, I have to.
39:41 Mary Beth Barone? Kill yourself.
39:43 Benito Skinner? So here's my thing. I know that this is inconvenient and I know sometimes it's it's not cost effective. It's always been worth it to me. There is nothing that I hate more than taking a skincare routine and putting it into some bullshit little bottle that it doesn't belong in. It just and it knows it doesn't belong in there and it's disappointed. It wastes so much of the product. I just, I hate it and I hate putting it in those little bags. Also, I'm saying if it's a weekend, I'm probably not, but I I probably am checking in a big way. I just have these big old Patagonia bags and I'm just like, throw it in. And I find that if people shop on the trip, they come to me and they go, after giving me so much shit for checking the bag and apparently adding so much time to the trip, they go, can I use some of the bag space?
40:28 Benito Skinner? And every time I come to them with the warmest love, heart open.
40:31 Mary Beth Barone? And you say, there is no bag space.
40:33 Benito Skinner? And I say, it's fucking full, bitch. Yeah, no, I have done that, but I am like, yeah, isn't it nice to have a little room? Have a little leeway to shop the streets, shop local, think global? And, oh my God, I just, and you can bring a red light mask if you want. You can bring all your like supplements.
40:52 Mary Beth Barone? Your AG1, your Nutri-Fold.
40:54 Benito Skinner? Your Nutri-Fold.
40:55 Mary Beth Barone? My thing is, so as I've said before on this podcast, I'm always on the move. And for me.
41:00 Benito Skinner? You've said that so many times.
41:01 Mary Beth Barone? I have.
41:02 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
41:02 Mary Beth Barone? For me, stopping at baggage claim, waiting at the carousel, it has been a good opportunity for me to connect with Barone's because I love to meet them there.
41:10 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
41:11 Mary Beth Barone? There is no time in my day, week, month, year, when I am more antsy than when I'm waiting at that baggage claim. Now, having become someone that has to attend events by choice, shoe privilege. So you have to pack the shoes that go with the outfit. I can't just wear sambas every day because I have outfits that have been curated and put together. So the biggest thing for me lately is just accepting, surrendering to this idea that I'm going to check a bag because I want all the shoes that I need at my disposal. It's actually, it's a need, it's not a want. And to say that, yes, it's much easier to pack my lotions and things like that. It makes me sick. I think it's taken years off my life waiting at baggage claim.
41:56 Mary Beth Barone? So for me, I understand the benefits of always checking a bag. I'm trying so hard to just shove stuff in there in this carry on. And also, I have to just say that traveling with Pinky, my carry on has become a space for my laptop, the dog food, treats, things like that, a book.
42:12 Benito Skinner? Picturing my girl in the middle of the aisle, 15 guys behind her, all who want to hit her. And she has to lug it up and put it up in that thing and it doesn't fucking fit. And they go, ma'am, you have to check that.
42:23 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, I mean, gate checking.
42:27 Mary Beth Barone? Gate checking.
42:28 Benito Skinner? No.
42:28 Mary Beth Barone? Here's the thing, gate checking when they're going to bring the bag right to the plane and they they put it in that little hallway area. That's one thing. That's that's got one of God's greatest gifts. Gate checking when they're going to bring it to the carousel. Well, now you've pissed me off.
42:42 Benito Skinner? Well, you've been punished.
42:43 Mary Beth Barone? What did I do?
42:44 Benito Skinner? Yeah, it's like, oh, I could have just. I could have brought the biggest bag possible.
42:48 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
42:48 Benito Skinner? And now it's like, it's just, it's that to me is you could have just been with Benny Drama.
42:52 Mary Beth Barone? I know.
42:53 Benito Skinner? Your bags up. And oh, God, okay, I had literally like, I felt the endorphins in my body. When you pack for a summer trip, you can fit so many more clothes.
43:03 Mary Beth Barone? So many garments.
43:04 Benito Skinner? Have to put sweaters and coats.
43:05 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, my God.
43:06 Benito Skinner? Oh, my God. And the shoes, I like a kind of thicker, chunkier shoe in the winter, of course. So, oh, my God, I had to pack for a couple of weeks in New York before I move into my place. And I don't have that many clothes and it was hard, but I did two huge bags. But, oh, my God, packing in the summer, everything, everything goes. Fifty tank tops.
43:25 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
43:25 Benito Skinner? You can fit a hundred.
43:26 Mary Beth Barone? The amount of crop tops I'm bringing is just astounding.
43:29 Benito Skinner? Yeah, a thousand. It was really annoying to my friends when we were traveling abroad when I was in college, but, um, you know, but they loved.
43:37 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, so this has been a lifelong practice.
43:38 Benito Skinner? But they, of course, sweetie, I am who I am. My family even knows, like, always add 20 minutes for Benny.
43:43 Mary Beth Barone? Benny get his bag. My mom is a carry-on warrior, so I was just always taught that, like,
43:48 Benito Skinner? And I knew that.
43:48 Mary Beth Barone? Keep it moving and, and just try to really pare down your stuff. Unfortunately, now with the lifestyle that I'm living, it's really not possible anymore.
43:56 Benito Skinner? It's not possible, sweetie. You need options. And I also, you know, I have to bring options for the people around me.
44:01 Mary Beth Barone? Of course.
44:02 Benito Skinner? You know?
44:03 Mary Beth Barone? Because you're sharing clothes quite often.
44:05 Benito Skinner? Of course.
44:05 Mary Beth Barone? I guess the thing is, like, with age, I've come to accept it, but I would never always do it.
44:10 Benito Skinner? I know. And I don't know, it's just one of those things that I'm like, fuck, yeah, who cares? And it's actually been good for me as far as patience. Like, I am just like, no, it's worth it to me and I'm fine to wait like an extra 20 minutes. Sometimes it's really annoying.
44:21 Mary Beth Barone? Sometimes the waiting is hell.
44:23 Benito Skinner? I travel enough that usually I have like a priority tag, so it does come out pretty early.
44:27 Mary Beth Barone? Sometimes that tag means nothing.
44:29 Benito Skinner? Sometimes that tag means everything.
44:31 Mary Beth Barone? Right.
44:31 Benito Skinner? And when it comes down, it's a little bit like what I assume it's like when you get home to Pinky.
44:36 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, oh, and it's the first bag.
44:38 Benito Skinner? When my red Patagonia falls, I'm like, well, there's my princess.
44:42 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah. No, it feels really good.
44:44 Benito Skinner? It's just so cool that she made the trip with me. And I'm like, how was your flight?
44:48 Mary Beth Barone? So scared under the plane.
44:49 Benito Skinner? No, I bet it was cold under there. But yeah, it was, oh, God. And I think about. Just all the, all the things I've been able to bring, all the looks and stuff. It's just, um, it's been a total travel privilege in every way. So anyone who's doing it, what I'm also telling you is get rid of the shame. I, I know what it's like to have people.
45:08 Mary Beth Barone? Get rid of the stigma even.
45:09 Benito Skinner? Throw so much hate. There's so much.
45:11 Mary Beth Barone? You're checking a bag?
45:12 Benito Skinner? There's so much gay hate at it.
45:13 Mary Beth Barone? Picture this.
45:14 Benito Skinner? Everyone, and they go, oh, he's got to check the bag. It's like, we're here a week. What are you guys going to be wearing on day five? This I gotta know.
45:21 Mary Beth Barone? For me, it's like, I'm bringing a hundred pairs of underwear.
45:23 Benito Skinner? Yeah, of course.
45:24 Mary Beth Barone? That's taking up space.
45:25 Benito Skinner? Every single pair of underwear I own, they're coming. They gotta see, they gotta see this.
45:30 Mary Beth Barone? They gotta see this.
45:31 Benito Skinner? They gotta see Austin.
45:32 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, a piece, a piece that I've kept from a sharing clothes experience. I do have a pair of Calvin Klein boxer briefs that just are perfect. And I wear them. Sometimes they stick up out of the pants. Sometimes they're a bedtime thing. But that's just a, it's a piece that I, and, and you know what? I think sometimes with sharing clothes, if you don't know the person that well, you do need to give it back. And I'm sorry to go back to my ride here, but.
45:55 Benito Skinner? Hundred percent.
45:56 Mary Beth Barone? Some of that stuff, like, I need back.
45:58 Benito Skinner? Yeah. You don't know me like that.
46:00 Mary Beth Barone? Yet. I hope to get there one day.
46:01 Benito Skinner? And hey, I'm not, I'm not writing it off, but come on. Hey, come on now. Should we get into ride or die?
46:07 Mary Beth Barone? Let's get into ride or die.
46:08 Benito Skinner? You know what you are, Mary Beth?
46:10 Mary Beth Barone? Bisexual?
46:11 Benito Skinner? Well, yeah, but you're also my ride or die. Ride or die. Did I get a die? Probably.
46:18 Mary Beth Barone? It's so hard because like, obviously, obviously I understand it and I feel like I.
46:23 Benito Skinner? And you benefit from it.
46:23 Mary Beth Barone? I've communicated that and I benefit from it. For me, I have to die for always checking a bag because I do think there are some instances where it's not worth it. Now, as I grow, as my wardrobe expands, as the shoe options need to be more and more specific, because people are taking pictures of me at an event and putting their little face over it and commenting on what I'm wearing. I mean, the shoe game has to be on.
46:45 Benito Skinner? Yeah, of course.
46:46 Mary Beth Barone? Like, okay, okay.
46:47 Benito Skinner? Okay.
46:48 Mary Beth Barone? Here's a story. You took me to the Boaz Afraid premiere.
46:52 Benito Skinner? Yes.
46:52 Mary Beth Barone? And I was able to go to Wasteland and get a Molly Goddard gingham dress that was sheer, which was fabulous. Now, all I had for shoes on that trip to wear out were white cowboy boots. Was it the shoe I wanted to wear? Absolutely not. Was it the shoe I had to wear or I couldn't go to the event?
47:05 Benito Skinner? Yes.
47:06 Mary Beth Barone? So I knew it was a miss. And then it ended up on one of those accounts that was like at what they're wearing or whatever. I don't, I don't remember what the account was called. And someone just goes, I don't get the white cowboy boot thing. And I was just like, can I be honest? Neither do I.
47:17 Benito Skinner? No, I don't either.
47:18 Mary Beth Barone? I wouldn't have chosen it.
47:19 Benito Skinner? No.
47:19 Mary Beth Barone? And so, actually too, what I'm finding is that I'm just responding. So Nikki Bell did talk about our CFDA looks and he said, you're not doing yourself any favors when you're wearing satin. I commented, I said, I started every interview apologizing for the fabric.
47:32 Benito Skinner? You said, Nikki, hear me out.
47:33 Mary Beth Barone? Nikki, hear me out.
47:34 Benito Skinner? Hear me out, sweetie.
47:35 Mary Beth Barone? And I don't mind it. I don't mind the critique. I think keep up with it.
47:38 Benito Skinner? I think he said my jacket needs two inches, two inches up.
47:41 Mary Beth Barone? I thought that was the pants, but that wouldn't have made sense.
47:44 Benito Skinner? No, the pants, the pants were perfect.
47:45 Mary Beth Barone? I have suffered at the hands of not checking a bag.
47:47 Benito Skinner? Yes.
47:48 Mary Beth Barone? And it's my own fault. It's self, it's self something. I don't know. But I will die for it because I think for me, once I land off that flight, I just, I gotta get out of the airport. I have to.
47:59 Benito Skinner? No worries. But hey, fuck you.
48:02 Mary Beth Barone? Can we still be friends?
48:03 Benito Skinner? No worries, of course. Oh, sweetie, we're dating. You said it.
48:07 Mary Beth Barone? That was crazy that that happened.
48:08 Benito Skinner? We have it on camera. That's the least crazy thing that's happened.
48:11 Mary Beth Barone? Okay.
48:11 Benito Skinner? I, I ride for sharing clothes, although I could potentially die for it because I never, I ride for being the one who.
48:19 Mary Beth Barone? You never get to benefit from it.
48:20 Benito Skinner? I'm never.
48:21 Mary Beth Barone? Hey, maybe one day. And, and I do want to shout out my mom. I've been stealing clothes from her since I was born.
48:27 Benito Skinner? Yeah. I steal a lot of like lately, I've been stealing ties from my dad and looking at some of his stuff. Maybe it's like the youngest child in me, but I'm like, yeah, take whatever you want. Like, I just don't care. Do you love me?
48:37 Mary Beth Barone? Do you love me or not?
48:39 Benito Skinner? Yeah, nothing could matter less.
48:40 Mary Beth Barone? It's intimate.
48:41 Benito Skinner? It is intimate, you see, in a hundred percent, in every way. It's like, just take it.
48:46 Mary Beth Barone? Just take it. I can't wear it. I'm wearing something else.
48:49 Benito Skinner? I've completely picked a different outfit today. And.
48:53 Benito Skinner? Yeah, I'll let you borrow some of my clothes on a trip. I love letting people pull from my mini little archive on a trip. Because I have all kinds of categories and all kinds of stories that I could tell through fashion.
49:04 Mary Beth Barone? What's really cool about your clothes is when they're in a pile on the floor, you know exactly what's in there and you know where it is.
49:09 Benito Skinner? Of course, I know everything.
49:11 Mary Beth Barone? You know the location of every piece.
49:12 Benito Skinner? It's organized chaos and you gotta just surrender to it.
49:17 Mary Beth Barone? Live and let die. The yassification of Sadie Sink.
49:22 Benito Skinner? Oh, my exit.
49:24 Mary Beth Barone? Benny babe, eyes on the road. Benny, go!
