  The following podcast is a Dear Media production.

• 0:04Benito Skinner?

  I'm Benito Skinner.

• 0:05Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm Mary Beth Brown.

• 0:06Benito Skinner?

  And this.

• 0:07Mary Beth Barone?

  Is.

• 0:08Benito Skinner?

  Ride.

• 0:12Mary Beth Barone?

  All right, shall we?

• 0:14Benito Skinner?

  The kids don't wanna dance. The kids don't wanna dance.

• 0:17Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm not familiar with this.

• 0:18Benito Skinner?

  So this is Miley Cyrus.

• 0:19Mary Beth Barone?

  Okay, I haven't heard it yet.

• 0:20Benito Skinner?

  And I mean this, this is only said with love. She has 55 albums.

• 0:24Mary Beth Barone?

  Right.

• 0:24Benito Skinner?

  I think she's come out with an album every six months, or I am like totally not.

• 0:29Mary Beth Barone?

  But some of them she doesn't even really do like a press tour for, and I respect that.

• 0:33Benito Skinner?

  She's like, I'm not touring it.

• 0:35Mary Beth Barone?

  She's just like, new album just dropped.

• 0:36Benito Skinner?

  It's what I told you to do for your next special, just kind of like the special came out. There wasn't even audience for it.

• 0:41Mary Beth Barone?

  No, well, I have a lot of ideas for that, too. Wait, Jake, you have to sit on the couch where I can see you. Jake Samis is in the building.

• 0:48Benito Skinner?

  Famous twink, as you said.

• 0:49Mary Beth Barone?

  Famous twink from the Rosalia concert. Wait, wait, come here, because I need to show them us two and imagine just try to get in the headspace of asking these two people if they're security.

• 0:58Benito Skinner?

  So this is, this is my security that I hired, by the way.

• 1:01Mary Beth Barone?

  A little lower, a little lower.

• 1:02Benito Skinner?

  You kind of are my security in a lot of ways.

• 1:04Speaker 03

  How do we look? We were like.

• 1:05Mary Beth Barone?

  You're stylists to the stars. We were like this.

• 1:09Benito Skinner?

  This is so when you start to become your stylist.

• 1:11Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, no, it's a mirror.

• 1:14Benito Skinner?

  Here I go, not being fucking relatable. I'm gonna kill myself this year.

• 1:18Mary Beth Barone?

  That's relatable.

• 1:21Benito Skinner?

  Cute top, by the way.

• 1:22Mary Beth Barone?

  Cavalli, vintage. I don't know if it's vintage, it's old.

• 1:25Benito Skinner?

  It's really cute.

• 1:26Mary Beth Barone?

  It's archive, we'll call it archive. What do you ride for?

• 1:29Speaker 03

  Um, okay, I'm into silk taffeta.

• 1:31Benito Skinner?

  Silk taffeta.

• 1:32Mary Beth Barone?

  I have a lot to say about silk taffeta. Also, every time I post you on my story, people are like, hard launch?

• 1:38Benito Skinner?

  Well, he was on a date, he went on a date and the guy said, so you and Benny broke up?

• 1:45Mary Beth Barone?

  Wait, people, the rumor mill is really working overtime.

• 1:48Benito Skinner?

  And yes, Jake has been in my butt, but it was only once.

• 1:51Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, that was for styling.

• 1:53Benito Skinner?

  That was literally, we were on a press tour, what do you expect?

• 1:57Speaker 03

  But I will say nostalgia is it. Nostalgia is what I ride for.

• 2:01Mary Beth Barone?

  Puerto Rico.

• 2:01Benito Skinner?

  Nostalgia.

• 2:02Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, that's fun. We're gonna do future nostalgia for a ride at some point.

• 2:06Benito Skinner?

  I agree, both the concept and the record.

• 2:08Mary Beth Barone?

  And the record, because it's really powerful. All right, well, thanks for joining us and just you can be over there, let us know if you need anything.

• 2:13Benito Skinner?

  We're gonna have Joe in the juice with him in 45 minutes.

• 2:15Mary Beth Barone?

  Cracker sandwiches for everyone, a round of cracker sandwiches.

• 2:18Benito Skinner?

  Me going, how many cracker sandwiches can I get for the people I love? The limit does not exist.

• 2:21Mary Beth Barone?

  Does not exist. I want to talk about tardiness and how it can, it both can and can't matter. Like, I think I'm a lot better at not carrying.

• 2:30Benito Skinner?

  Yes.

• 2:30Mary Beth Barone?

  But it's still, I'm like, I don't, we're gonna get it done, like, it doesn't matter.

• 2:34Benito Skinner?

  It's all gonna happen. I totally.

• 2:36Mary Beth Barone?

  It's really hard.

• 2:37Benito Skinner?

  Here's the thing, because I was supposed to be exactly on time today and I wasn't. And I'm annoyed because it's like, is there something I'm doing that's like making this happen? Because like, I allotted and I planned.

• 2:49Mary Beth Barone?

  I know.

• 2:49Benito Skinner?

  And I, like, I respect your time so much.

• 2:52Mary Beth Barone?

  I don't know, it's like, for some reason, sometimes taking cars in New York, it's just like, whatever you, whatever it tells you, it's gonna be 20 minutes more. But we have enough time to do it. It's just like, I don't know why my body has a response.

• 3:03Benito Skinner?

  Type A must be such a crazy experience. I want to spend one day as it, maybe even actually only an hour.

• 3:08Mary Beth Barone?

  You want to kill yourself sooner.

• 3:09Benito Skinner?

  Yes.

• 3:10Mary Beth Barone?

  You're thinking about that, essentially.

• 3:12Benito Skinner?

  Kinda gets into my ride today.

• 3:13Mary Beth Barone?

  It really does. We have a lot to get through.

• 3:16Benito Skinner?

  I wore a tight black tee to make you happy.

• 3:18Mary Beth Barone?

  And thank you so much.

• 3:19Benito Skinner?

  Thank you, thank you.

• 3:20Mary Beth Barone?

  I guess we need to address the Venice Film Festival.

• 3:23Benito Skinner?

  So I was gonna say, are we gonna talk about the Italian job?

• 3:26Mary Beth Barone?

  All my new friends.

• 3:27Benito Skinner?

  The 355, you mean?

• 3:28Mary Beth Barone?

  The 355 reboot.

• 3:30Benito Skinner?

  They're calling it the 355 reboot.

• 3:31Mary Beth Barone?

  We're making a spiritual sequel to the 355. I had the best time with these beautiful women.

• 3:36Benito Skinner?

  You taking your mom to Venice is so cute.

• 3:38Mary Beth Barone?

  And she was Miss Congeniality, she made friends with everyone. She was, I mean, she loves to party, so we had a couple of late nights.

• 3:46Benito Skinner?

  I'm picturing her with two pints covering her nipples. She's topless at a bar in Venice.

• 3:51Mary Beth Barone?

  She's topless on the docks at the hotel. But.

• 3:54Benito Skinner?

  She kept going, Brittany Snow, check out these.

• 3:57Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, we, look, I, I actually, I can't, there's things that like I can't even get into.

• 4:02Benito Skinner?

  Which is also, we're gonna talk about.

• 4:04Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, there's a sisterhood and a bond that was formed at the festival.

• 4:07Benito Skinner?

  I could feel it.

• 4:08Mary Beth Barone?

  It's the Venice Film Festival.

• 4:09Benito Skinner?

  I could feel it.

• 4:10Mary Beth Barone?

  Genuinely had the best time, but the way I describe it was like, all these actresses that look like princesses and I was their jester. So I was doing whatever it took to make them laugh. Spirits were high, we did physical comedy, we had bits, inside jokes, the whole deal.

• 4:24Benito Skinner?

  We went to dinner last night and you were saying some shit that I was howling at. What did you say at one point where I went, that's just insane?

• 4:30Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, well, um, we were, we were with someone that's a twin.

• 4:34Benito Skinner?

  Oh, yeah.

• 4:35Mary Beth Barone?

  And he said that he and his sister have different birthdays.

• 4:38Benito Skinner?

  What'd you say? It was so brain rotted.

• 4:41Mary Beth Barone?

  He said she was born 1155 and I was born at 1201 and I was like, well, you're so singular.

• 4:47Benito Skinner?

  It was so, and he, I think he was just like, no one else heard it, but I heard you say, you're so singular.

• 4:53Mary Beth Barone?

  I go, where are you from in Italy? And he's from Argentina.

• 4:57Benito Skinner?

  Well, yesterday we were fully in psychosis. So at one point, we were at this restaurant and we're at a coffee shop and I got like a seltzer espresso, by the way. Anything can be anything. It was something, I tasted it, it tasted like a bomb.

• 5:13Mary Beth Barone?

  Anything.

• 5:13Benito Skinner?

  I assume this is what a grenade tastes like.

• 5:15Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, it's Oppenheimer level science.

• 5:17Benito Skinner?

  You said that, you go, fuck, it's Oppenheimer.

• 5:19Mary Beth Barone?

  In coffee.

• 5:19Benito Skinner?

  The amount of sounds it took to make my drink, think about that.

• 5:22Mary Beth Barone?

  I don't want to think about that. Broke the sound barrier.

• 5:25Benito Skinner?

  I just learned how to use a credit card on my phone because I still use Safari. I'm kind of like a little boomer.

• 5:31Mary Beth Barone?

  Totally, we all have our boomer stuff that we do. I use a lot of emojis.

• 5:34Benito Skinner?

  Safari's so cool. And for when I was in the closet, the clearing history and clearing cache, like Chrome is a little too Big Brother. Safari, to me, you can clear house. You can go on your dad's MacBook and look up Johnny Castle naked.

• 5:49Mary Beth Barone?

  Johnny Castle naked.

• 5:50Benito Skinner?

  You know, and so I couldn't do that on Chrome.

• 5:53Mary Beth Barone?

  On Chrome.

• 5:54Benito Skinner?

  Anyways, I just got this credit card and I just, I'm trying to figure out how to use it on my phone, on that feature.

• 6:01Mary Beth Barone?

  Tap to pay.

• 6:01Benito Skinner?

  Which is cool, tap to pay. And I'm doing it, it's not really working, and Mary Beth just loudly goes, you're so fucking broke. And I thought, imagine, like, you saying this to a guy you're dating.

• 6:13Mary Beth Barone?

  A guy I'm dating. And I'm like, why do these guys always, like, why does it always go south? And then you overhear me going, you're so fucking broke.

• 6:20Benito Skinner?

  Like, you're so fucking broke, you told the guy from Argentina who was Italian and singular the other night. But here's my thing, I think I want all my girls to do this to the guy they're with, just to teach him a little bit of a lesson.

• 6:33Mary Beth Barone?

  You're so fucking broke.

• 6:34Benito Skinner?

  You're so fucking broke. Well, it gets into my new thing, too, which is dinners on you.

• 6:38Mary Beth Barone?

  Dinner's on you.

• 6:39Benito Skinner?

  We should be able to say that.

• 6:41Mary Beth Barone?

  I think so. I have nothing to add. I think you should be able to say, tonight, dinner's on you.

• 6:46Benito Skinner?

  Dinner's on you, right?

• 6:46Mary Beth Barone?

  Friend, with a friend, a coworker, someone you're dating.

• 6:49Benito Skinner?

  Oh, and when the bill comes, dinner's on you.

• 6:52Mary Beth Barone?

  Dinner's on you. Oh, sorry, dinner's on you.

• 6:54Benito Skinner?

  And you give him that 100 watt smile.

• 6:55Mary Beth Barone?

  I want to talk about Duddy in Venice, because we.

• 6:58Benito Skinner?

  Look at my guy over here with his fan. Paul's here and he has a little fan.

• 7:01Mary Beth Barone?

  He has a personal fan.

• 7:02Benito Skinner?

  Look at your, your hair is blowing in the wind in a gorgeous way.

• 7:05Mary Beth Barone?

  Technology is really hot. It's like heating up.

• 7:07Benito Skinner?

  Of course it is. This is a hot mic.

• 7:11Mary Beth Barone?

  Duddy on a jet ski in the Venice canals. I didn't see the dolphin while I was there, by the way, but I'm gonna go back.

• 7:17Benito Skinner?

  Devastating. It'll be back during the next pandemic.

• 7:20Mary Beth Barone?

  It was there, I just didn't see it.

• 7:22Benito Skinner?

  Exactly. I FaceTimed Mary Beth when she's in Venice. Mind you, we took like a little break. I got a huge coal sore and grew a mustache, so I feel totally rested and good. But I FaceTimed Mary Beth and you brought up Duddy being in Venice and immediately my brain went to her on a jet ski, bubby's bouncing because she's not wearing a life jacket, she's just wearing pool floaties.

• 7:45Mary Beth Barone?

  Floaties and heels.

• 7:46Benito Skinner?

  And heels, yeah.

• 7:47Mary Beth Barone?

  And the water spitting out of the back of it, like on tourists.

• 7:50Benito Skinner?

  Imagine how much arancini she's taking down while she's there, by the way.

• 7:53Mary Beth Barone?

  I can.

• 7:55Benito Skinner?

  Good.

• 7:55Mary Beth Barone?

  And langoustine, which is what they call shrimp, if I'm not mistaken.

• 7:58Benito Skinner?

  Oh, and by the way, she's doing one of those romance, like canoes. What are those called?

• 8:03Mary Beth Barone?

  Gondola.

• 8:05Benito Skinner?

  Romance canoes.

• 8:06Mary Beth Barone?

  A romance canoe and I knew exactly what you meant.

• 8:08Benito Skinner?

  Galaxy, oh, and you're the one with the galaxy brain.

• 8:10Mary Beth Barone?

  The galaxy brain is contagious. Duddy also eats her pasta with a spoon, so she can put a lot on the fork and then shovel it all in her mouth. So that's something that.

• 8:20Benito Skinner?

  Her favorite movie is Lady and the Tramp, by the way.

• 8:22Mary Beth Barone?

  Of, of course it is. New Duddy lore just dropped.

• 8:26Benito Skinner?

  Yes. So yeah, that's new Duddy lore. Add it, a lot of people have been messaging me about dressing up for her as Halloween. If you do that, like, I'll come. I'll know and I'll find you.

• 8:37Mary Beth Barone?

  They're gonna dress up for her, or as her, that's amazing.

• 8:39Benito Skinner?

  I wonder if there's anyone out there with an eye for Premiere Pro or even Final Cut, like, if you're totally disgusting.

• 8:46Mary Beth Barone?

  I use Premiere Pro.

• 8:47Benito Skinner?

  But I want to see every bit of the lore. I just want to, because I don't necessarily know everything I've said at this point.

• 8:53Mary Beth Barone?

  If anyone actually, though, okay, so we do have Reddit blocked on all devices between the two of us, but if you can go on there and start the Duddy lore, with just stuff that we've confirmed be true, including the tartan dress and stuff, we'll have our social media manager, Megan Petzel, take a look. Because I think you guys would know better than we would at this point.

• 9:10Benito Skinner?

  I can't see anything anymore. My heart is getting broken a lot and I am gonna talk about that today a little bit.

• 9:18Mary Beth Barone?

  Duddy speaks Italian fluently, I just wanted to add that. I think she speaks five languages.

• 9:23Benito Skinner?

  And she always says ciao grazie.

• 9:24Mary Beth Barone?

  And she speaks, she speaks Mandarin as well.

• 9:26Benito Skinner?

  Anytime I'm in Italy, I kind of do this thing that I will say shit like that and I'll like try my best, not in front of Italians, because I don't want them to like think that it's like, that I'm this bad at it, but I am this bad at it. But I always say ciao grazie, just because it sounds so good off my tongue. It's very just sweet de limons, but the Italian version. And I don't exactly know what I'm saying, but ciao grazie, isn't that heaven to say?

• 9:50Mary Beth Barone?

  I like how it sounds.

• 9:51Benito Skinner?

  Yes. Yeah, that's just some Duddy stuff.

• 9:54Mary Beth Barone?

  That's some Duddy stuff.

• 9:55Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 9:55Mary Beth Barone?

  Thank you, Charani Beauty, for sending me to Italy twice this year.

• 9:59Benito Skinner?

  Can, when we edit that, can we do a deep voice on you?

• 10:03Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, we'll do one take normal, one take deep voice.

• 10:06Benito Skinner?

  Of Armani Beauty, thank you to Armani Beauty.

• 10:07Mary Beth Barone?

  I love my Armani Beauty family.

• 10:09Benito Skinner?

  The 355.

• 10:10Mary Beth Barone?

  Someone at the dinner was like, you brought your mom as your plus one, walk me through that. And I was like, well, she's just the best person I've ever met, so why wouldn't I bring her to an event like this?

• 10:18Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 10:19Mary Beth Barone?

  Free trip to Venice. Also, do you know how many times she brought us?

• 10:22Benito Skinner?

  Bring, like, their agent?

• 10:23Mary Beth Barone?

  I'll tell you, they were a plus one. I'll have you know.

• 10:25Benito Skinner?

  Oh.

• 10:26Mary Beth Barone?

  Um, and we'll get into that later. But he was really sweet. It was just like, it was seemed like a genuine question, but I was like, well, and how many times has my mom brought me to Europe? Like, so many.

• 10:35Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 10:35Mary Beth Barone?

  So it's about like, it's about, you know.

• 10:38Benito Skinner?

  I can't think of anything cuter than that and also like.

• 10:40Mary Beth Barone?

  Also, she was full glam as on the house. She got glam both days.

• 10:44Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, she should. Her hair is like red right now. She's full Jean Grey.

• 10:48Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, she, we're painting the town red.

• 10:49Benito Skinner?

  She is.

• 10:50Mary Beth Barone?

  We're painting the town red.

• 10:51Benito Skinner?

  She is. Oh my God, I love Beekeepers Naturals.

• 10:55Mary Beth Barone?

  Keep this in.

• 10:56Benito Skinner?

  Okay, so I spray the Propolis Immune Support Throat Spray. Oh my God, it provides daily immune defense and soothes scratchy throats with vitamins, minerals, and over 300 beneficial compounds. It has like a sweet honey taste and I sprayed it at the back on my little, what's that called?

• 11:11Mary Beth Barone?

  Uh, the thingy?

• 11:12Benito Skinner?

  I love spraying that. Your daily dose of immunity for proactive immune support. Okay, this, this spray could do it for you. They also have a nasal spray max.

• 11:21Mary Beth Barone?

  Ooh.

• 11:22Benito Skinner?

  It reduces histamine response.

• 11:23Mary Beth Barone?

  We're nasal spray maxing.

• 11:25Benito Skinner?

  Oh God, oh my God, I can't stop nasal spray maxing. It reduces histamine response and flushes congestion while providing an invigorating and clearing sensation, helping you breathe better. I have a whole thing about histamines lately, like most of us are not really rocking with them. We need to take care of ourselves.

• 11:41Mary Beth Barone?

  Mmm.

• 11:43Benito Skinner?

  So I'm glad I really got into the science of that. When germs start to increase during sick season, Propolis Immune Support Spray is a daily ritual that provides defense for the whole family. You can also just throw it in your purse or clutch or...

• 11:54Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, you can throw it in your clutch.

• 11:55Benito Skinner?

  Exactly, and you take that out and you spray it in your mouth and it's so delicious.

• 11:59Mary Beth Barone?

  A non-toxic nasal spray that cleanses and soothes nasal passages. Use daily as needed during sick season to flush out irritants and soothe sinus irritation. Propolis reduces the histamine response against irritants. Yep.

• 12:12Benito Skinner?

  Xylitol expands the nasal...

• 12:13Mary Beth Barone?

  That's what I was gonna say.

• 12:14Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, it expands the nasal passages to ease congestion and saline solution naturally clears and moisturizes.

• 12:19Mary Beth Barone?

  But that's not all.

• 12:20Benito Skinner?

  Well, there's also oregano oil, by the way, and it invigorates your sinuses for deep, refreshing breath. Today, Beekeepers Naturals is giving my listeners on my podcast an exclusive offer.

• 12:30Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, you just do it then. I don't care.

• 12:31Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, yeah, I'm good.

• 12:32Mary Beth Barone?

• 12:58Mary Beth Barone?

  I think we all know that us in the Ride Cinematic Universe, we are huge proponents of therapy. We talk a lot on this show about anxiety and family dynamics, wouldn't you say?

• 13:10Benito Skinner?

  Well, that's kind of like top two.

• 13:11Mary Beth Barone?

  And how to navigate both. But in order to make big, meaningful changes that stick, it often takes a lot of conversation and practice. As you know, we have recommended regular therapy to anyone who listens. And now we're recommending Grow Therapy. Everyone treats summer like it owes you happiness. Long days, pool parties, literally, your best life on a loop. So what does it mean when you feel worse? The summer blues are real. It's why summer is one of the busiest stretches of the year for people starting therapy.

• 13:37Benito Skinner?

  Therapy is too expensive, you used to end the conversation. It shouldn't. Oh my God, you're pissing me off. Grow Therapy works to help people find care they can afford, is insurance friendly, and easy to start and stay with. No subscriptions, no subscriptions. No subscriptions. God, I hate you, Benny.

• 16:31Benito Skinner?

  Ta moi.

• 16:32Mary Beth Barone?

  I want to talk about cantaloupe, cantaloupe, which you forced me to write down yesterday despite the fact that this was one of those bits you were doing where I actually wasn't responding.

• 16:40Benito Skinner?

  Yes, so...

• 16:41Mary Beth Barone?

  I didn't want it to continue.

• 16:43Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, yeah, so I was doing spoken word at one point because I was so, I was a little jet lagged and a little, like I hadn't seen you in a while and we had just kind of been tanning on your roof and I was just like, and I just started doing spoken word at you and then I got to you and I go, won't marry cantaloupe, cantaloupe, cantaloupe, cantaloupe. And I just kept thinking about cantaloupe, cantaloupe. Am I the first person who's put that together? Probably not, but I'm gonna say maybe.

• 17:11Mary Beth Barone?

  I think Shakespeare did it first, but he scrapped it.

• 17:13Benito Skinner?

  In Midsummer Night's Dream.

• 17:14Mary Beth Barone?

  In a Midsummer Night's Dream.

• 17:15Benito Skinner?

  Cantaloupe, cantaloupe.

• 17:19Benito Skinner?

  All she said was no smoking soap. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

• 17:24Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm not looking at you. I'm not looking at you.

• 17:26Benito Skinner?

  Understand that we understand that maybe this is meant to be.

• 17:32Mary Beth Barone?

  Okay, I watched the...

• 17:33Benito Skinner?

  Be seen and heard.

• 17:34Mary Beth Barone?

  I watched The Brutalist on a laptop.

• 17:35Benito Skinner?

  Heard is good and learned. I could do this literally forever to you, but see how she doesn't?

• 17:41Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm challenging you. I'm challenging you.

• 17:43Benito Skinner?

  Cantaloupe, cantaloupe. Jake, what do you think about cantaloupe, cantaloupe?

• 17:49Mary Beth Barone?

  Really? I think it's a good part of the fruit salad. I know people...

• 17:53Benito Skinner?

  I think cantaloupe is so... Oh, with salt? Okay, Barbados.

• 17:57Mary Beth Barone?

  Okay, sweet and savory.

• 17:58Benito Skinner?

  You're taking mango into the ocean, girl. That's my girl.

• 18:01Mary Beth Barone?

  I actually could totally see him doing that, taking mango into the ocean.

• 18:04Benito Skinner?

  Of course, he basically did that in Puerto Rico.

• 18:06Mary Beth Barone?

  That should be an idiom for something.

• 18:07Benito Skinner?

  I take my poke bowl into the ocean, by the way.

• 18:09Mary Beth Barone?

  He's taking mango into the ocean. That's an idiom, let's figure out what it means.

• 18:13Benito Skinner?

  But have you seen...

• 18:14Mary Beth Barone?

  We're gonna back into it.

• 18:15Benito Skinner?

  Have you seen Rihanna do that in Barbados? It's like a thing, you dip the mango into the ocean, it's like salty. Oh, I loved it. There were all these photos of her doing that, I know, I've consumed all of them.

• 18:23Mary Beth Barone?

  You're blowing my mind right now.

• 18:24Benito Skinner?

  Exactly, honey.

• 18:25Mary Beth Barone?

  So I watched The Brutalist on a laptop, finally.

• 18:27Benito Skinner?

  There was a building there.

• 18:28Mary Beth Barone?

  And it was brutalist.

• 18:29Benito Skinner?

  It was beautiful.

• 18:30Mary Beth Barone?

  It was my favorite.

• 18:31Benito Skinner?

  It was my favorite, and they fucking ruined it.

• 18:33Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, they ruined it.

• 18:34Benito Skinner?

  When I sing Brutalist by Kim Petras, I immediately go to, I have Britney Spears sing it for some reason. And I feel like that's saying something.

• 18:42Mary Beth Barone?

  I understand it, though. There is a Britney Spears painterly quality to the song.

• 18:46Benito Skinner?

  Don't you agree? There was a building there, it was brutalist.

• 18:48Mary Beth Barone?

  Brutalist, yeah.

• 18:49Benito Skinner?

  And it was beautiful. They fucking ruined it.

• 18:51Mary Beth Barone?

  It was my favorite, yeah.

• 18:52Benito Skinner?

  She, God, I love that woman, fuck. And I love Kim Petras, I love that album.

• 18:55Mary Beth Barone?

  Men's stories matter. That's the first thing I want to say about The Brutalist.

• 18:59Benito Skinner?

  Thank you.

• 18:59Mary Beth Barone?

  I was obviously gobsmacked by the opening title sequence and then it would go straight to America.

• 19:04Benito Skinner?

  Could you believe that opening, when the Statue of Liberty is upside down in The Brutalist? It's literally like, it's full body chills all over and then...

• 19:15Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, so he escapes like Nazi occupied Europe, right?

• 19:18Benito Skinner?

  Yes.

• 19:19Mary Beth Barone?

  Immediately goes to get head, can't get hard. I mean, talk about relatable.

• 19:24Benito Skinner?

  Right here.

• 19:25Mary Beth Barone?

  I've never seen something more real in my life. First stop, whorehouse. Can't get hard.

• 19:31Benito Skinner?

  Check.

• 19:31Mary Beth Barone?

  And then I watched Obsession on the plane. And I love this idea of putting a spell on a woman, you put a curse on her and then you go to your friend, she's been acting so fucking weird randomly. Dude.

• 19:43Benito Skinner?

  It fully tracks to me. His performance as like useless straight guy is like, it's so, and obviously her performance is like unbelievable.

• 19:53Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, now she's an X-Men.

• 19:54Benito Skinner?

  And I'm so excited. Who is she in X-Men? Rogue?

• 19:57Mary Beth Barone?

  Maybe, yeah, I can't remember. They did a big announcement.

• 20:01Benito Skinner?

  Oh God, totally.

• 20:03Mary Beth Barone?

  I, I just loved seeing how real that was and that brings me to one anecdote I want to tell, which could apply to really any of my exes, which is that I just want to, I want to start the story at the end, we're gonna work backwards.

• 20:14Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 20:15Mary Beth Barone?

  This person went non-verbal for two hours. He stopped, dead in his tracks, started walking again.

• 20:22Benito Skinner?

  Do I know which one?

• 20:23Mary Beth Barone?

  I'll tell you after.

• 20:23Benito Skinner?

  Okay.

• 20:24Mary Beth Barone?

  And then went non-verbal for two hours. So he was telling me that Daniel Radcliffe used to wear the same outfit when Harry Potter first came out, Turf Hogwarts, so that the paparazzi wouldn't think that they got new photos of him. After he said that, I was like, oh yeah, Jennifer Aniston used to do that in the 90s. She would wear these like cargo pants with the tank tops so that they wouldn't get new photos. And then he goes, you always have to have a better story. And then didn't speak to me for two hours.

• 20:50Mary Beth Barone?

  So stay strong out there, girls. There's a bright future ahead of you.

• 20:54Benito Skinner?

  I love that he thought that that story was so much better than his. They're kind of just like, yeah, this is like a thing.

• 21:00Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, it was like, I guess, because she did it first or something. But then I found out that Madonna actually originated the language.

• 21:07Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 21:07Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, before either of them, so I don't know. It was just really strange. But it's those little moments that you have flashbacks to where you go, no one has talked to me like that in a really long time. Because I'm single.

• 21:18Benito Skinner?

  Do you miss it or no?

• 21:19Mary Beth Barone?

  So I don't.

• 21:20Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, okay.

• 21:21Mary Beth Barone?

  Just like, imagine if one of your friends that's a girl said that to you. Like, they just wouldn't. They would go, oh, my God, that's like, that's genius, you know?

• 21:29Benito Skinner?

  I definitely, there's something, so I recently got a therapist in the past year, and it's been so cool. First session, I think she just hadn't been around someone who hates themselves this much. And so I think I kind of rocked her world for a second.

• 21:40Mary Beth Barone?

  That's awesome.

• 21:41Benito Skinner?

  Because she was kind of like, wait, this is, you got some sauce on this.

• 21:44Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 21:44Benito Skinner?

  And, um, yeah, I think as you kind of go through that, you start to be like, wow, that is like the meanest thing anyone's ever said to me. And I had that issue where I would say things like that at like dinners or something, and I'm telling like what I think is a funny story.

• 21:57Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 21:57Benito Skinner?

  And the whole table goes silent. Is it, John Early has a joke in something, I think it's in Search Party, and I want to quote it right, but it's so weird. He says like that. I'm already laughing where he goes, um, that feeling when your hair falls out.

• 22:14Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I actually think that's the direct quote.

• 22:17Benito Skinner?

  It's like something like that.

• 22:18Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 22:19Benito Skinner?

  So.

• 22:19Mary Beth Barone?

  He fully has, he goes bald by the end, I think.

• 22:21Benito Skinner?

  I think so.

• 22:22Mary Beth Barone?

  His hair's falling out in clumps.

• 22:23Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, and he goes, that feeling when your hair falls out.

• 22:25Mary Beth Barone?

  That feeling when your hair falls out.

• 22:27Benito Skinner?

  It's on like TV or something. But I was thinking about that of like, saying that at the end, like, oh, shit. I thought I kind of.

• 22:33Mary Beth Barone?

  I should have added that to my story.

• 22:35Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 22:35Mary Beth Barone?

  Maybe he would have felt less threatened. But it's just funny to be thinking you're having a conversation when the other person sees it as competitive.

• 22:42Benito Skinner?

  Oh, totally.

• 22:43Mary Beth Barone?

  Chatting competitively.

• 22:44Benito Skinner?

  Well, that reminds me of, um, not to.

• 22:47Mary Beth Barone?

  You always had to have a better story.

• 22:49Benito Skinner?

  And I kind of do.

• 22:49Mary Beth Barone?

  Imagine not enjoying the better story and just being mad at it.

• 22:52Benito Skinner?

  Exactly, being like, wow, this woman just fucking embarrassed me.

• 22:55Mary Beth Barone?

  Embarrassed me in front of nobody, by the way.

• 22:57Benito Skinner?

  And she won't let me wipe her.

• 23:01Benito Skinner?

  What was I gonna say? Oh, that it's making me think of another time you got treated horribly by a man, which is when you played a board game better than him.

• 23:09Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, yeah. I mean, we've, we've gone into that in detail on the pod, and thank you for.

• 23:13Benito Skinner?

  You're begging for a new shooter to drop.

• 23:14Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, I know. I'm trying so hard, but I meet them too old. They're too, they're a little too lazy and unmotivated at that point.

• 23:21Benito Skinner?

  Oh, but I love, oh, wait, that's a joke in your special. I can't remember.

• 23:24Mary Beth Barone?

  What?

• 23:24Benito Skinner?

  The.

• 23:28Mary Beth Barone?

  We'll bleep it, but, um, and thank you to the pod for giving me a safe space to speak out about my, my checkered past with board games, because I really hadn't talked about it in like a decade when I brought that up, because it was traumatizing.

• 23:39Benito Skinner?

  I love the thought that like you hear dice slapping together like, and you think of Yahtzee.

• 23:43Mary Beth Barone?

  I have more flashbacks.

• 23:45Benito Skinner?

  And like sends you into like a full trauma response.

• 23:47Mary Beth Barone?

  Psychosis.

• 23:48Benito Skinner?

  What will you be writing for today, darling?

• 23:50Mary Beth Barone?

  Today, interestingly, I'm writing for friction.

• 23:53Benito Skinner?

  I fucking love that. It's this. And when I get to do this.

• 23:57Mary Beth Barone?

  You get that?

• 23:58Benito Skinner?

  Jake, you get this, right?

• 24:01Mary Beth Barone?

  And then what are you writing for?

• 24:02Benito Skinner?

  I will be writing for feeling feelings.

• 24:04Mary Beth Barone?

  Feeling feelings. I might go first.

• 24:05Benito Skinner?

  I think you should go first.

• 24:06Mary Beth Barone?

  Because I feel like mine's pretty simple. It's really to the point.

• 24:09Benito Skinner?

  It's a very Mary Beth ride.

• 24:10Mary Beth Barone?

  It's a very Mary Beth ride because it means a lot of things. Obviously, friction is like a thing in science, and it's really important. It's like part of our universe.

• 24:17Benito Skinner?

  Of course.

• 24:18Mary Beth Barone?

  Our beautiful universe that we have. I don't know the formal definition. I won't be reading it from Merriam-Webster. I don't have my phone, because I was reading out of my notebook. So if you want to look up the official definition of friction.

• 24:27Benito Skinner?

  Nancy Drew.

• 24:28Mary Beth Barone?

  Nancy Drew.

• 24:28Benito Skinner?

  I'm gonna do a reboot of Nancy Drew, because I want you to wear little 60s doo-wop outfits.

• 24:32Mary Beth Barone?

  Totally, yeah.

• 24:33Benito Skinner?

  But she has a gun in this one.

• 24:34Mary Beth Barone?

  With a cap? Well, yeah, set in the present day.

• 24:37Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, yeah, she's a cop.

• 24:38Mary Beth Barone?

  She's a police officer. But she's trying to change the force from the inside.

• 24:42Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, of course. It's like Zootopia, which three was announced. Obviously, I'm excited.

• 24:46Mary Beth Barone?

  Okay, I still haven't finished two yet.

• 24:48Benito Skinner?

  I can't wait until we pop pills and we Shanghai and we go to Zootopia in Shanghai.

• 24:53Mary Beth Barone?

  I, we have to talk about.

• 24:55Benito Skinner?

  Armani Beauty.

• 24:56Mary Beth Barone?

  We have, Armani Beauty.

• 24:57Benito Skinner?

  Next trip.

• 24:59Mary Beth Barone?

  Uh, we have to talk about Asia when we're offline, just about like, will we ever go? What's the plan?

• 25:05Benito Skinner?

  I'm dying to.

• 25:05Mary Beth Barone?

  I want to go to Vietnam.

• 25:07Benito Skinner?

  Oh, my God, I would love that so much. I want to go there. I want to go to, oh, God. You know, I also haven't been to Australia, and I'm like dying to go like Sierra. That's crazy. Didn't you say that you'd go down there to shoot something? And she's like, glad to know that's when you'll come.

• 25:21Mary Beth Barone?

  I said, I'm sure I'll film something there at some point. She's only lived there 10 years. I mean, give me some time.

• 25:27Benito Skinner?

  Come on, girl, I'm still cooking.

• 25:28Mary Beth Barone?

  Come on now.

• 25:29Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 25:29Mary Beth Barone?

  So friction is different than inertia, and you can look up the difference. Inertia is not something I ride for, but friction. So someone told me, someone told me about an article. It wasn't even a headline that I saw.

• 25:40Benito Skinner?

  Okay.

• 25:40Mary Beth Barone?

  Somebody told me about an article that really stuck with me, about how people are seeking more friction in their lives. They're moving away from this frictionless lifestyle, where you can sit at your house and you can have everything delivered to you at the push of a button. People want to go pick things up more. They want to have that face to face with their dry cleaner or their barista or whatever it is, just being out in the world and having more experiences and more interactions, which, of course, you know, sometimes we go through phases where we don't want to be perceived, no matter what you do for work. That's just something that we, we do. I think having a dog has made my life have more friction, because she needs to be walked, she needs to go outside, she needs to be fed. She needs to have a nanny when I'm not home. And I'm meeting a lot of people because I have a dog out in the world.

• 26:22Benito Skinner?

  Speaking of friction, actually, after that, um, Seltzer Oppenheimer drink I had, I almost shit my pants on my dry cleaners.

• 26:28Mary Beth Barone?

  Wait, that's awesome.

• 26:29Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, that's friction.

• 26:30Mary Beth Barone?

  We did reach this point, this peak of like, everything should be so convenient. And, I mean, I just think we're like, I'm, I'm craving just like more human experiences and more interactions. So as much as like, you know, planning, and this is something I think in New York, we're really good at navigating friction, because we're out in the world all the time. We're taking the subway. We do five to 10 things in a day. Where in LA, they're always in the car. And it's like, you do one thing in a day, and then your day's kind of over.

• 26:55Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 26:55Mary Beth Barone?

  Do the thing, even if it's gonna, and I rode for doing the thing, but even if it creates a little bit more friction, I think it, it just maybe will enhance your life. And you could like, I don't know, fall in love along the way. It's really about the journey.

• 27:08Benito Skinner?

  Totally. I would say the only thing that's keeping me from friction is that I go into any CVS or Walgreens and everything is behind glass.

• 27:15Mary Beth Barone?

  That's not even, that's, that's like beyond friction.

• 27:18Benito Skinner?

  It's like, it's, it couldn't even come near it.

• 27:20Mary Beth Barone?

  That's oppression.

• 27:20Benito Skinner?

  It's exactly, every time I see it, I think about The Quiet Place and how good it would actually feel if aliens came to go in there and just break those down.

• 27:28Mary Beth Barone?

  Just break it down.

• 27:28Benito Skinner?

  Recently, I really needed, um, allergy pills, like so desperately. I couldn't open my eyes. There were little pussy willows. And little pussy willows.

• 27:36Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, that's very evocative.

• 27:37Benito Skinner?

  Just got my sparkle back randomly, happened like out of nowhere. Um, and I go and this woman was like, so I just like, don't have a key to that one. And I'm like, totally. And that's, I guess I just like have to go.

• 27:48Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, I mean, so that's kind of that on that.

• 27:50Benito Skinner?

  We actually like laughed together, because it was, she was just like, I mean, I'm sorry, this is like, this sucks.

• 27:54Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, sometimes friction sort of incites camaraderie in this really beautiful way.

• 27:59Benito Skinner?

  Exactly. So that's the kind of friction that's beautiful. But I, I think you're right, because I, before the pandemic, wasn't scared to be on the phone to make reservations. But I'm kind of, I get nervous right before, because I'm like, God, what, what if I say something crazy? Who knows what they're gonna do?

• 28:13Mary Beth Barone?

  How are they gonna treat me?

• 28:15Benito Skinner?

  Jones Road, down the Jones Road, driving my car down the Jones Road. Okay, so it's always fun to do an ad read without Mary Beth, because I get to listen to her ads after she listens to mine. It's a lot like, um, we've recorded something and they're playing it at the bachelorette party. So I have used the Jones Road Beauty Miracle Balm for, I think honestly, years at this point, but it's absolutely fabulous. You can use your fingers, you can dab, dab, dab it on those cheekalinas. You can also put it on your forehead. It's kind of like a bronze blush hybrid. It's not that like cakey makeup look. It feels very fresh, very sexy in the summer. It's like, oh, my God, I was just out in the sun all day.

• 28:58Benito Skinner?

  It smells delicious, and it doesn't irritate my skin. And you know, I'm a little rosacea doll, so that can mean the fricking world to a guy like me. You can use it as a highlighter, a blush, a lip tint. Oh, God, multipurpose. It's the ultimate no fuss multitasker. So you can get that effortless glowy look in under 60 seconds, just like queer as folk and overcompensating as Benny Drama. The best part of Jones Road Beauty, all of their products are actually good for your skin. Every formula is packed with skin-loving ingredients. It nourishes your skin instead of clogging or caking. It looks and feels natural, like you're not wearing makeup at all. And all Jones Road formulas are clean and high performing. New product alert, foundation stick. Okay, so Jones Road actually just launched their foundation stick

• 29:42Benito Skinner?

  that fits perfectly into that still kind of like, no makeup makeup look. But if you want like a little bit more coverage, maybe just on a few delicate spots, it's the foundation stick that you need. It's available in 30 shades to match a wide variety of skin tones. Modern day makeup that's clean, strategic, and multifunctional for effortless routines.

K18 is a biotech engineered haircare brand on a mission to unlock your fullest expression

• 30:27Benito Skinner?

  without hair damage. I am obsessed with the leave-in conditioner stuff. Like, I put that in after just like a big week on set because I'm an actor.

• 30:35Mary Beth Barone?

  Right.

• 30:36Benito Skinner?

  Understanding the biology of hair, by the way. Is that what you were gonna say?

• 30:40Mary Beth Barone?

  I was gonna say that.

• 30:40Benito Skinner?

  Keep going.

• 30:41Mary Beth Barone?

  They use biotech instead of cosmetic chemistry to engineer real and lasting solutions for your hair concerns.

• 30:47Benito Skinner?

  K18's air wash dry shampoo is bestselling non-aerosol dry shampoo for all hair types. I'm obsessed with the K18. They have a great, um, kind of like detox shampoo.

• 30:57Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, the woman that cuts my hair is obsessed with it.

• 30:59Benito Skinner?

  My concern is just like buildup and I think also like using too many products because when you do that every day, you get a lot of scalp buildup and it can be really dry because you do have to wash.

• 31:08Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, also, it's like, does your hair get greasy, oily, or limp between wash days? Do you work out and have to put off sweating, hot yoga lifting because of the extra work your hair will need after? Do you hate the gritty, starchy buildup that most dry shampoos leave behind? Like, all these things, like, you can solve it with K18.

• 31:24Benito Skinner?

  K18 is just one of those things you see in Sephora and you're like, whoa, science is here and thank God because, yeah, I'm purchasing. And it really is all so unbelievably worth it. And when I see someone's got K18 in their bathroom, like you and me, I'm like, oh, and I steal it. I, I fill my pockets.

• 31:40Mary Beth Barone?

  So I think the science of fresh hair is like so important and they're finally using science to help women. It's like about damn time. You can instantly eliminate odor and reduce oil and sweat even in the summer heat.

• 31:50Benito Skinner?

  Fresh hair and scalp for up to three days.

• 31:52Mary Beth Barone?

  The first biotech powered dry shampoo. No white cast, starchy buildup, or heavy fragrance days. And now K18 has their future IQ, which starts reversing hair age in three months. For 19,000 more hairs, 70% show fewer grays, plus improved scalp barrier. Shop at Sephora. My God.

• 32:11Benito Skinner?

  We always tell people that. Are you kidding? Or get 10% off your first purchase at k18hair.com with code RIDE. That's code RIDE at k18hair.com. I saw a TikTok yesterday that made me howl. This girl called a bar before and she goes, "My friends and I are coming to this bar. Can you actually look around? Are there any you guys?" And then you hear the girl on the other line go, "Um, okay, what's your type?" And she completely locked in.

• 32:40Mary Beth Barone?

  See how that's camaraderie?

• 32:41Benito Skinner?

  It was like, and that was, you know, you could have just gotten Postmates. So...

• 32:45Mary Beth Barone?

  You could have just gotten Postmates or drank at home.

• 32:47Benito Skinner?

  I do love a Postmates night, of course. I so hear that friction, that duality, this.

• 32:53Mary Beth Barone?

  Even when we went out for fro yo the other night, or Greek, the Greek fro yo thing.

• 32:56Benito Skinner?

  We met, um, we met barones and one of them, he brushed his shoulders off.

• 33:00Mary Beth Barone?

  Brushed your off your shoulder.

• 33:00Benito Skinner?

  And that's direct friction, by the way.

• 33:02Mary Beth Barone?

  I had a really, I had a moment that I'm not proud of on a Delta flight recently. The friction came about because the plane was downgraded. So even though I had a lay flat seat when I got there.

• 33:12Benito Skinner?

  And you had paid for it.

• 33:13Mary Beth Barone?

  And this was, I paid for it and it was a red eye. So I showed up and the plane had been downgraded. It was the second time that's happened to me in the last month on Delta. So I said to the flight attendants, I was like, "I do think you guys really like have to tell us this before we like show up to board the plane."

• 33:28Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 33:28Mary Beth Barone?

  Because it's just not, like, I would have gotten on a different flight. And then the flight attendant was like, "Yeah, we don't have your food either." And I was like, "Okay." Well, I, I was like, it's just like now, I'm like, I was expecting you to sleep for six hours and now I'm not. I don't mind the food of it all, but like, I was very upset.

• 33:44Benito Skinner?

  I'm confused by this.

• 33:46Mary Beth Barone?

  And then I looked at them before I sat down. I said, "I know it's not you guys. I'm just saying, like, if you expect a lay flat seat," and this is very La Roche.

• 33:53Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, why don't they?

• 33:53Mary Beth Barone?

  This was not friction. This was like, just actually being like, like, sort of scammed.

• 33:58Benito Skinner?

  Uh huh.

• 33:59Mary Beth Barone?

  And so I, I feel bad about it. I, to the flight attendants, I'm sorry for my attitude, but I was, honestly, I was devastated. I almost started crying and I know it sounds so dramatic, but like, we'd had a really, really busy week in LA and I needed to sleep. And it threw off my whole week last week of like, going to sleepless night. One sleepless night can throw off your whole week when you're 35. So...

• 34:18Benito Skinner?

  Easily.

• 34:19Mary Beth Barone?

  I know I probably sound privileged, but if you pay, it's really, it's Delta, it's not the person. It's like, I feel like if you pay for something, you should get it. But that's just me. And I'm not cutting this because like, I will, this is a hill I'm willing to die on.

• 34:31Benito Skinner?

  And I think that's so fine. I mean, honestly, anyone, if we're really all looking in our hearts, if you paid the money to have lay flat and like a little hot sexy meal coming out of some foil, I'm expecting it. Also, for me, I, it's so crazy to me that people can skip meals. If I do, my whole body shuts down. I'm nauseous. I'm sick to my stomach. Like, so if I am expecting that I'm gonna eat and I don't have a little snackies?

• 34:56Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, because I didn't know to plan ahead.

• 34:57Benito Skinner?

  I don't have a Jersey Mike's and beef jerky in here. Like, what am I supposed to do?

• 35:01Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, there was a barone behind me who we bonded over it. She DM'd me. I saw it as we were leaving the flight.

• 35:06Benito Skinner?

  She said, "How was your night's sleep?"

• 35:07Mary Beth Barone?

  She goes, "How was your night's sleep, you fucking bitch?" And it was just like, it really just threw off my whole shit. So I was bummed.

• 35:14Benito Skinner?

  Oh, I'm sorry.

• 35:14Mary Beth Barone?

  But I, then, there was camaraderie, I guess, that came, was born out of it, was born.

• 35:18Benito Skinner?

  So that's kind of like, we don't want that friction. So friction can be bad. We're talking about like...

• 35:22Mary Beth Barone?

  Friction can be bad.

• 35:22Benito Skinner?

  Go and talk to the guy at your bodega. Have some fun. Go out there, interact with people. I would also say go to brick and mortar stores. There's no inventory, but like, go check it out.

• 35:33Mary Beth Barone?

  But you could order online in the store.

• 35:35Benito Skinner?

  Exactly. I love when they say that. They go, "We can ship it in." And I'm like, "Fuck it, let's do it."

• 35:39Mary Beth Barone?

  Absolutely. Why not? So I think generally, I'm, I'm loving friction this year.

• 35:43Benito Skinner?

  I'm loving friction on my thighs lately. I remember how much friction I had when I wore APC petite standards in college. I didn't know, people would ask me about APC jeans and I'd be like, "Well, yeah, the, the crotch always blows out." And they're like, "No, it doesn't." And I'm like, "Okay, maybe it doesn't." But I, I love that friction. I love the friction of my booty pressing up on you and pressing up on pants and giving somebody a boner.

• 36:07Mary Beth Barone?

  Giving somebody a chub.

• 36:09Benito Skinner?

  Is that so crazy for girls in middle school? Like, the fact that that's what dancing was to us?

• 36:15Mary Beth Barone?

  I think it's the first time you feel powerful.

• 36:17Benito Skinner?

  Really? Catching bees? Because I do feel like that.

• 36:19Mary Beth Barone?

  Catching print?

• 36:23Benito Skinner?

  Not catching print.

• 36:24Mary Beth Barone?

  Catching print.

• 36:25Benito Skinner?

  The whole room just went, Jake just walked out.

• 36:27Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 36:27Benito Skinner?

  Catching print, it's kind of like, to me, it's like, I just cooked something. Betty Crocker.

• 36:33Mary Beth Barone?

  Because, well, because The Brutalist could never.

• 36:35Benito Skinner?

  No.

• 36:37Mary Beth Barone?

  Loved the movie, by the way.

• 36:38Benito Skinner?

  Isn't it so good?

• 36:39Mary Beth Barone?

  What a fabulous piece of media.

• 36:42Benito Skinner?

  It gives me like full chills.

• 36:42Mary Beth Barone?

  I have so many questions how they made it. I just, like, did they build that building?

• 36:46Benito Skinner?

  Also, the concept of, I don't know, like, how an architect would feel about it, but like, the building itself, I wonder who designed it. It is like unbelievable.

• 36:55Mary Beth Barone?

  The production designer. Well, you know...

• 36:56Benito Skinner?

  And when you find out later, sorry, when you find out later that he designed the building, sorry, if you haven't seen The Brutalist this week.

• 37:03Mary Beth Barone?

  You need to watch it. Just do 15 seconds ahead.

• 37:05Benito Skinner?

  Like, in secret and it being about him and his wife in camp. Oh my God, it's so good.

• 37:10Mary Beth Barone?

  I obviously watched a talkback with the production designer and a bunch of the other people involved because I got home drunk, uh, last week and I put it on at one in the morning. And I learned a lot. The production designer, like, designed the building.

• 37:21Benito Skinner?

  See, that's unbelievable.

• 37:23Mary Beth Barone?

  Incredible.

• 37:23Benito Skinner?

  What a like, that must have been such a gift, but also a curse because it's like, it's one of those things that I think only Cruella has really nailed, where there's one big dress that's supposed to shock you. I think that dress in Cruella that turns out to be Beatles is like as good of a movie dress as we've gotten, where it's like, so much is put on this one dress.

• 37:41Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, it's hard to nail.

• 37:42Benito Skinner?

  It's really hard to do that. And like, to have, I love that I'm, see, I can Cruella Brutalist, like, that's the friction I can make.

• 37:50Mary Beth Barone?

  And the, well, there's, and it's, there is like, I see the connection.

• 37:54Benito Skinner?

  You get it.

• 37:54Mary Beth Barone?

  Totally.

• 37:55Benito Skinner?

  But to me, that, oh my God, and the cross and, oh...

• 37:59Mary Beth Barone?

  But also the library. Everything was just incredible.

• 38:02Benito Skinner?

  Every performance in that film is unbelievable. And seeing Adrian Brody's art after, I'm gonna buy some.

• 38:08Mary Beth Barone?

  You should.

• 38:09Benito Skinner?

  Have you seen his art?

• 38:09Mary Beth Barone?

  No.

• 38:10Benito Skinner?

  It's my favorite thing in the world.

• 38:11Mary Beth Barone?

  Okay, we're gonna look it up after.

• 38:13Benito Skinner?

  You're not ready. It's like Monopoly Man.

• 38:14Mary Beth Barone?

  Great. That's awesome. It's pop art.

• 38:17Benito Skinner?

  It's art.

• 38:17Mary Beth Barone?

  It's art pop or pop art.

• 38:18Benito Skinner?

  Art pop even. Yeah.

• 38:19Mary Beth Barone?

  All right, let's talk about Feeling Feelings.

• 38:21Benito Skinner?

  So I am writing for Feeling Feelings, which it's, I'm, I'm going more of the emotional route today. I just wanted to talk about it. I got a therapist in the past year and I think I've had some great breakthroughs of things that we've talked about. And I feel like I am in the privileged spot of being able to afford a therapist every week and getting these things. So I'm like, I'm gonna share this with the group and hopefully it will make anyone feel better or seen or heard, or if you get any tips along the way, take them and I hope you can apply them to your life. But my girl, her name's Britt, and, um, we just have this camaraderie. We have this friction. She challenges me. And

• 39:04Benito Skinner?

  something she said early on was, I kept like trying to solve all these things. And she's like, you know, you really can just like feel a feeling, like, and it probably will pass in time, but trying to solve it, trying to run, trying to always appease like something, they'll just get worse. And, and it kind of is like beautiful to feel them. And I think in the work that we do and like writing scripts and acting and stuff, I have found it as such a useful resource. It does make some of those things more like painful and, and like...

• 39:36Mary Beth Barone?

  And like visceral.

• 39:37Benito Skinner?

  And I can see that. And like, and now I've seen five episodes of season two, your performance, like, literally breaks my heart. It's so good. But I can kind of see it in the work and I'm really proud of myself for Feeling Feelings and allowing them to be there. The one thing that I am finding tricky sometimes on this podcast is like, because, uh, you know, because I run a show and the, I like sometimes don't feel comfortable sharing all these things because I'm like, there are people who work with me and who I like are employed on a show that I'm like the head of. So at times I do feel like I can't necessarily say those things because they make me seem like I'm mentally unwell or like weaker.

• 40:19Mary Beth Barone?

  Of course, of course.

• 40:20Benito Skinner?

  You know, and that would like put their jobs in jeopardy. And so I feel like giving us some grace on the podcast to at times like have to, I think, edit down things and maybe not tell the whole thing of a story.

• 40:32Mary Beth Barone?

  And that's beyond your job. Like, that's even with like, there's stuff going on in my family that I would love to talk about. But it's like, we have to protect the people we're close to. And while I'm comfortable putting myself on blast clearly in any way, shape, or form, because I am, I am an open book.

• 40:45Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, and a whore.

• 40:47Mary Beth Barone?

  And a whore, and a slut, and a bitch.

• 40:49Benito Skinner?

  We have to again, cancel the switch.

• 40:51Mary Beth Barone?

  Bitch, mother, child, and lover, I think.

• 40:54Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, yeah, I was about to say.

• 40:55Mary Beth Barone?

  But I just think, yeah, we're, we're, I hope, you know, we're, we're still having fun and we're, we're sharing a lot and...

• 41:01Benito Skinner?

  Yeah. I'm trying to...

• 41:04Mary Beth Barone?

  It's complicated.

• 41:05Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, and something that has been really helpful. And I feel like this would be probably really helpful for a lot of women who are experiencing guys in the car who are mad at them for having a better story than them. Is we talked a lot about like your narrative and knowing like your narrative and returning to it and being like, people can think anything and they can project anything onto you, but you know, just like return to who you are and allow that to like settle there. And it's really been so helpful, I think.

• 41:34Mary Beth Barone?

  Know your narrative.

• 41:35Benito Skinner?

  The core.

• 41:36Mary Beth Barone?

  Know your narrative, feel your feelings and go where you're liked. And I feel like then you're gonna just like kind of be cruising.

• 41:42Benito Skinner?

  Oh, my girls, it's a big year for my girls.

• 41:45Mary Beth Barone?

• 43:29Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, absolutely.

• 43:30Mary Beth Barone?

  He's already.

• 43:31Benito Skinner?

  By the way, Johnny Depp, before he was Scrooge. He was Ebenezer. Yeah, continue.

• 43:38Mary Beth Barone?

  So he's already my first call when I match with someone.

• 43:40Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 43:41Mary Beth Barone?

  He's planning my outfit with me and we always end up with a full post hang debrief after a date. I mean, you literally wanted to come with me on a first date.

• 43:47Benito Skinner?

  I know, and I wish I had, because I would have told you to wear leggings.

• 43:50Mary Beth Barone?

  Hmm.

• 43:51Benito Skinner?

  A corset trainer.

• 43:53Mary Beth Barone?

  Mm hmm.

• 43:54Benito Skinner?

  Two pasties in the shape of stars.

• 43:56Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 43:57Benito Skinner?

  A necklace with an electric guitar on it. And I would say spike your hair up, two big spikes.

• 44:07Mary Beth Barone?

  It'd be so long.

• 44:09Benito Skinner?

  Do a smokey eye and a red lip. Those are all things that seduce a straight man.

• 44:13Mary Beth Barone?

  But now at Tinder's double date, he won't just hear about it. He'll actually be along for the ride.

But I've just, yeah, I've like, I talked therapy with something that I did not since I was in London abroad and that woman told me, you're gay. But getting back into it has been really amazing. So I guess I'm also writing for that. But something about feeling the feelings and it's been something like, the other day I was like missing someone and then yesterday I was feeling like anxious with you. So we just like talked about a bunch. It's just allowing all those things to be there and not running from it all the time and not trying to compensate.

• 45:28Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 45:29Benito Skinner?

  God.

• 45:30Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, we kind of hold a mirror up for our jobs, but then I feel like our therapists are holding the mirror up to us.

• 45:35Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, to be like, you know that she said something where I was like, oh my God, she watched me kind of go in a spiral. So I had a cold sore and I said it to her before anything.

• 45:44Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 45:45Benito Skinner?

  And she's like, it's crazy. You think I care? Like, why can we get into that?

• 45:49Mary Beth Barone?

  She goes, you're so fucking broke.

• 45:51Benito Skinner?

  She said, okay, herpes, let me hear you out, the fuck. Yeah, and then she called me broke. But something about that moment, and she was like, let's talk about your feeling there. You needed that. And I was like, I felt like I needed to be perfect for even this like therapy session or else you'd like judge me or like think less of me or something. I don't know, there's so many things we get caught up in and I don't know if any of this makes any sense, but I hope like a tiny lick of it will resonate with someone. But I've been feeling feelings lately and it's also allowed for really big, beautiful feelings as well, which is.

• 46:22Mary Beth Barone?

  I mean, it's what separates us from the primates, right?

• 46:25Benito Skinner?

  Exactly.

• 46:25Mary Beth Barone?

  Like, isn't that the whole thing?

• 46:26Benito Skinner?

  We were doing something fun in LA, which people will know about soon enough. And I had so much gratitude for this and meeting you, also allowing for those feelings of like excitement to feel even bigger and not feeling like you have to get right back into work. I'm trying to sit in things more.

• 46:46Mary Beth Barone?

  And I think even I've had a lot of moments of gratitude and I think Venice Film Festival, there were so many pinch me moments of just like, I'm so grateful to be here with my mom, like how special.

• 46:56Benito Skinner?

  In archival.

• 46:56Mary Beth Barone?

  In archival. Armani.

• 46:59Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 46:59Mary Beth Barone?

  Like, it was really.

• 47:01Benito Skinner?

  That dress.

• 47:01Mary Beth Barone?

  I can't even pick which one was my favorite. Like, I just felt.

• 47:05Benito Skinner?

  So I have a favorite.

• 47:06Mary Beth Barone?

  I know.

• 47:07Benito Skinner?

  It's hard to like that first one you wore that Charlize Theron wore. It's like, that truly is the Italian job to me.

• 47:12Mary Beth Barone?

  My cousin texting me going, I just wanted you to know Charlize is spelled wrong in your caption. I don't know if that matters. My straight cousin.

• 47:19Benito Skinner?

  And that's so nice to have family that like will do that.

• 47:21Mary Beth Barone?

  He just was checking, he was just like looking out for me.

• 47:23Benito Skinner?

  That's awesome.

• 47:24Mary Beth Barone?

  And then I think also even being at dinner last night, because it's the first day of Fashion Week and I was at dinner with Dill Mulvaney and three of the most handsome gay guys I've ever seen in my life. I was wearing a sheer dough and skirt and we were at Lucienne and I just was like, God, I love my life right now.

• 47:39Benito Skinner?

  And I had a Coke Zero, so me too.

• 47:41Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, you had two Coke Zeros.

• 47:42Benito Skinner?

  Oh my God, don't tell them I'm off the wagon.

• 47:44Mary Beth Barone?

  You're off the wagon.

• 47:45Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 47:46Mary Beth Barone?

  I just like was looking around like, wow, this is so fun to be here. And I think I've felt a lightness just from not having anyone romantically involved with me right now. And I think like, how free I feel is actually scary. Like, how much better I feel is a little bit like, I don't know what it indicates for the future, but I had to feel those feelings and I had to, I had to sort of hit rock bottom again for some reason.

• 48:10Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 48:10Mary Beth Barone?

  But I, I feel like I bounced back a lot quicker and I'm feeling feelings of just being like, I feel really lucky that we get to be storytellers and artists and hopefully bring people joy and but we can't always be on all the time.

• 48:22Benito Skinner?

  No, have you ever had your darkest time be shot right in front of this background? Because I, every now and then a TikTok comes up on one of those like AI. I think that some of those are run by like AI bots.

• 48:35Mary Beth Barone?

  I think so too, but I think one of them's run by a person.

• 48:37Benito Skinner?

  Yes, who I love.

• 48:38Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 48:38Benito Skinner?

  But the, and I've talked to them, but one is like fully bots where they like just keep having like read, like the repeats of our.

• 48:44Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about.

• 48:46Benito Skinner?

  But one was me and the Dead of Winter writing season two and like, I've never been sadder in my life. So that was, it was such a jump scare. And I'm like, whoa, I've just, you and therapy. It's funny what we do because I do think both of us are also private people. So it's funny doing this job. I think at times, because I'm like, I just naturally, like if I'm going through something, like I'm hunkering down in a hotel room calling you and I'm like writing a show and no one's seeing me probably for a while. And I would never share it with people. Like, I just, I don't feel comfortable doing that.

• 49:23Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, it's duality.

• 49:25Benito Skinner?

  Duality.

• 49:26Mary Beth Barone?

  I ride for feeling feelings.

• 49:28Benito Skinner?

  Sweetie, they're happy to have you.

• 49:29Mary Beth Barone?

  How could you ever think I wouldn't?

• 49:30Benito Skinner?

  You could rule them if you wanted to.

• 49:32Mary Beth Barone?

  I know, I'm working on it.

• 49:33Benito Skinner?

  Steampunk's still waiting, by the way. I was just in London and a few steampunkers came up and they're waiting for you.

• 49:39Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm not ready yet.

• 49:40Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, wait, is there doing the juice here?

• 49:41Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 49:42Benito Skinner?

  Oh, fuck.

• 49:42Mary Beth Barone?

  So we have cracker sandwiches that I've been looking at for 25 minutes.

• 49:47Mary Beth Barone?

  So thank you for bringing us to the pod.

• 49:49Benito Skinner?

  I literally just did that to make him laugh.

• 49:52Mary Beth Barone?

  Paul is cracking up in the corner.

• 49:54Benito Skinner?

  Paul hasn't laughed this whole time.

• 49:57Mary Beth Barone?

  He's too overheated, but it was worth it for that.

• 49:59Benito Skinner?

  He's so pissed about your Jennifer Aniston story. It was Paul that you were talking about.

• 50:02Mary Beth Barone?

  I know, that's my ex. It's crazy to be on set with him. You know, any revelations in therapy that you want to bring, we're happy to have them.

• 50:09Benito Skinner?

  Well, yeah, and it's the same as like when I talked about intrusive thoughts on here.

• 50:13Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 50:13Benito Skinner?

  Those, it's really helped me also feeling them. That's a part of it too. It's like allowing those to happen and being like, I don't have to solve all this.

• 50:20Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, us chatting the other night and I'm like, do we think this might be intrusive thoughts?

• 50:24Benito Skinner?

  And I thought.

• 50:25Mary Beth Barone?

  You said, uh, no.

• 50:27Benito Skinner?

  Shut the fuck up.

• 50:28Mary Beth Barone?

  You said, I don't think so.

• 50:29Benito Skinner?

  No, I, oh my God, I'm trying to like find a way to put that into something or read into a script. I think Lena just did it so perfectly in Girls where it was like counting and that episode about her OCD, but it is so funny. On TikTok, this, these like McDonald's toys came up and I was like, oh, me collecting those was like actually a form of that. Like, I felt sick to my stomach until I saw all of them aligned on my desk. And if there was a missing one, I was like, my mom will die.

• 50:56Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, isn't it fun to sort of be able to name those things?

• 50:58Benito Skinner?

  It's been amazing.

• 51:00Mary Beth Barone?

  It's been beautiful.

• 51:00Benito Skinner?

  And also, by the way, by feeling feelings, you can name them and be like, I'm experiencing this right now. I'm experiencing deep gratitude and love for my bestie and for iconic twink over there, Jake Samus.

• 51:11Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, do you ride for friction?

• 51:12Benito Skinner?

  Friction is so major. I love what it does with fire. I love what it does on my booty cheeks.

• 51:17Mary Beth Barone?

  It's so powerful.

• 51:18Benito Skinner?

  Friction's amazing and I think like we need friction. Friction also is beautiful in relationships, I think, and we.

• 51:24Mary Beth Barone?

  It's gross.

• 51:25Benito Skinner?

  It's funny, someone to me was like, you and Mary Beth never fight, right? And I was like, we never fight. We talk about everything.

• 51:32Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 51:33Benito Skinner?

  Like, nothing is, I've never felt something and didn't say it to you.

• 51:36Mary Beth Barone?

  We can talk about it and also because we are so different, it's like, obviously we're gonna have things we don't like meet at the same place.

• 51:43Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 51:44Mary Beth Barone?

  You have to talk about stuff.

• 51:45Benito Skinner?

  You do. It's, it has to all be on the floor and it's all, it's, to me, it's friction. And I, I think in living in New York, like you were saying about LA, it's just harder to have friction when you're kind of just in, in a car and driving everywhere, that it's been so amazing to have friction back. I've loved like being in a neighborhood that I'm living in and like bopping around and finding a coffee shop. And I think that friction, it's, friction is a good word.

• 52:08Mary Beth Barone?

  Yep, it's not, it's not a four letter word.

• 52:11Benito Skinner?

  Yes.

• 52:11Mary Beth Barone?

  You just reminded me of something for the next episode.

• 52:12Benito Skinner?

  Today, I feel very at peace.

• 52:14Mary Beth Barone?

  Me too. And let's eat our crackers.

• 52:16Benito Skinner?

  It's a nice, let's have cracker sandwiches, let's break bread. This is what they ate at the Last Supper.

• 52:21Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, I know.

• 52:22Benito Skinner?

  Judas, Judas got the tuna cotto, by the way.

• 52:24Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, that's, and I got the, I just switched it up today, I got the Joe's.

• 52:27Benito Skinner?

  I know, I know.

• 52:28Mary Beth Barone?

  She totally didn't fucking see that coming.

• 52:29Benito Skinner?

  Someone, someone made a TikTok about, they were saying how the Last Supper is like, it's so crazy. They're like, if you ever think you're petty, like Jesus brought all his friends to one dinner, one of them he knew was backstabbing, backstabbing him. He called them all out at the table of very Mary Beth Barone.

• 52:45Mary Beth Barone?

  Yep.

• 52:46Benito Skinner?

  I love you, kid.

• 52:47Mary Beth Barone?

  Love you, kid.

• 52:48Benito Skinner?

  Cantaloupe, cantaloupe.

• 52:55Benito Skinner?

  Oh, my exit.

• 52:57Mary Beth Barone?

  Benny, babe, eyes on the road. Benny, go!
