  But I need a student. I don't regret drinking this liquor. I really love. Her tact.

  Yep, that's what I was gonna say.

• 0:59Benito Skinner?

  The moment I wake up before I put on my makeup. Make a little prayer for you. So Rupert Everett in My Best Friend's Wedding, what that did to me as a kid via.

• 1:14Mary Beth Barone?

  What it did to families.

• 1:16Benito Skinner?

  What it did to families.

• 1:17Mary Beth Barone?

  It was just incredible.

• 1:18Benito Skinner?

  I mean, it was so.

• 1:19Mary Beth Barone?

  With the lobster hands.

• 1:19Benito Skinner?

  Oh, come on. Forever and ever, you say my heart. We're kind of the twins in matching clothes.

• 1:25Mary Beth Barone?

  He totally, no, we are. But he also totally improvised, like, he, in theory, his character improvised that at a lunch.

• 1:32Benito Skinner?

  Yeah. And he was also pretending to be straight. It is so you being like, you have to fly in.

• 1:39Mary Beth Barone?

  You have to fly in.

• 1:40Benito Skinner?

  I love the concept of it. And George, and then kiss me.

• 1:45Mary Beth Barone?

  He just came here to, uh, fuck me. We always fast forwarded that part in my, when I was a kid. That part.

• 1:50Benito Skinner?

  We would rewind. I loved that brunch thing. It was the first time I saw myself in media. I'm not kidding.

• 1:55Mary Beth Barone?

  No, I mean, that brunch is like, and it's the first time I ever heard that song.

• 2:00Benito Skinner?

  Oh, my God. It's so, he is so good. He's in this, um, this other film, Another Country. It's like a kind of a gay masterpiece. I highly recommend it to anyone. It's like a pre Call Me By Your Name vibe. They kind of can't show anything, though. No peaches, no, no Timmy, Timothee jacking off into a peach, baby.

• 2:17Mary Beth Barone?

  Damn.

• 2:18Benito Skinner?

  You know, I was talking to someone and they didn't know what that scene meant.

• 2:22Mary Beth Barone?

  That he had sex with it?

• 2:24Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 2:24Mary Beth Barone?

  What part of it did they not get? There's like come in it.

• 2:27Benito Skinner?

  I know, but I just don't, maybe girls don't know how nasty.

• 2:30Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, it was a girl?

• 2:31Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 2:32Mary Beth Barone?

  Honey, come talk to me.

• 2:34Benito Skinner?

  Look at you.

• 2:35Mary Beth Barone?

  Come talk to me. I'm, I just put too much bronzer on. I don't care.

• 2:37Benito Skinner?

  Next up, we blend it. We use the same brush we used for foundation and concealer because it has a little bit left in the brush.

• 2:43Mary Beth Barone?

  Exactly. So I haven't been using foundation lately. I've just been, um, using concealer. I saw it on TikTok and it's just better because I don't need, I don't want full coverage right now.

• 2:52Benito Skinner?

  Katie Jane Hughes has the most incredible tip that I've been using. I love her so much. Katie Jane, I know you're watching, girl. This, hey, this one's for you, okay? She has this tip where you put your bronzer and your blush on first so that you know how much to use for the concealer because all that's just layering on top and I want.

• 3:09Mary Beth Barone?

  Just layering.

• 3:10Benito Skinner?

  Less, but I don't wear a stitch.

• 3:12Mary Beth Barone?

  No. She did my makeup for the US Open last year and like completely changed how I do my makeup. So I would love to shout her out as well.

• 3:18Benito Skinner?

  Who are you with?

• 3:18Mary Beth Barone?

  I mean, I went with my guy.

• 3:20Benito Skinner?

  And whose speed did she also?

• 3:21Mary Beth Barone?

  Yours.

• 3:22Benito Skinner?

  I know. She's like touring the world with Dua Lipa. I love the work they did together. But hey, queen, this is us checking in. I love her products, too. Rum raisin is the blush I wear.

• 3:31Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, I just hit the mic again, sorry.

• 3:32Benito Skinner?

  Hey, if you wanna know, uh, you wanna get the Benny look.

• 3:35Mary Beth Barone?

  You wanna get the George Santos glam?

• 3:36Benito Skinner?

  You know what pisses me off is the concept of no makeup makeup. It's like, would that be so bad that I'm wearing makeup? You know what I mean?

• 3:42Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, I think it's, it's not meant to shame. It's just meant to be like, oh, you can't really tell.

• 3:46Benito Skinner?

  But I think there's a little shame in it.

• 3:48Mary Beth Barone?

  Okay.

• 3:48Benito Skinner?

  You know what I mean? Like, the clean girl makeup thing is kind of shaming full glam and it's like, maybe I like it all.

• 3:53Mary Beth Barone?

  Maybe let glam happen.

• 3:54Benito Skinner?

  Yeah. Let glam happen in any way it wants to. What is this Armani orange one?

• 3:59Mary Beth Barone?

  These are the new blushes.

• 4:00Benito Skinner?

  Oh, my God.

• 4:01Mary Beth Barone?

  That they let me say in the video I made that I took a bite out of one.

• 4:05Benito Skinner?

  Oh, should I?

• 4:06Mary Beth Barone?

  Maybe. Tasty. They're so candy.

• 4:08Benito Skinner?

  Wait, that's such a pretty.

• 4:10Mary Beth Barone?

  Looking like a snack.

• 4:11Benito Skinner?

  I love that orange. Orange.

• 4:13Mary Beth Barone?

  I guess we have to talk about the fact that we did record an episode on Monday that will be staying in the Disney Vault.

• 4:19Benito Skinner?

  It's in the Disney Vault.

• 4:20Mary Beth Barone?

  So.

• 4:20Benito Skinner?

  With Walt.

• 4:21Mary Beth Barone?

  It was with Walt.

• 4:22Benito Skinner?

  Walt, Disney did hear it.

• 4:24Mary Beth Barone?

  We are, we, it was raining, it was nighttime. We were not in good spirits. It was just way too fast after the weekend to be getting back into it.

• 4:32Benito Skinner?

  And we did a dye and it actually, I think.

• 4:34Mary Beth Barone?

  I think we got a lot off our chest, though.

• 4:36Benito Skinner?

  Sometimes you have to. It was like writing an email that you'll never send.

• 4:39Mary Beth Barone?

  Right. Emails I can't send by Sabrina Carpenter.

• 4:42Benito Skinner?

  By Sabrina Carpenter.

• 4:43Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, we, we said a lot and I think it was good to do it. But yeah, it's, so what we realized in doing that, and we are back in the studio and it's Wednesday.

• 4:52Benito Skinner?

  Yes.

• 4:52Mary Beth Barone?

  We need to take a break.

• 4:54Benito Skinner?

  Yes.

• 4:55Mary Beth Barone?

  And we think you guys, because you're the best listeners in the entire world, will, will understand that we just need a break. And so we're gonna take one.

• 5:03Benito Skinner?

  We need a summer vacation in Vape Cod.

• 5:05Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, we're gonna go to Vape Cod.

• 5:06Benito Skinner?

  I love, love y'all. I know you're thinking, wait, but you just started. But here's the thing, the first day we recorded season four, um, was two days after we wrapped overcompensating.

• 5:18Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 5:19Benito Skinner?

  So daddy, you can't imagine what the low back is like.

• 5:21Mary Beth Barone?

  We just wanna keep making really high quality stuff for you guys. And the best way to do that right now is to take two weeks off in September. So we will be taking off the week of Labor Day and the week after, and we'll be back September 16th, bright eyed and bushy tailed.

• 5:34Benito Skinner?

  For Fashion Week for New York Fashion Week.

• 5:36Mary Beth Barone?

  New York Fashion Week.

• 5:37Benito Skinner?

  We're taking off Labor Day and September 11th, but we will be right back.

• 5:42Benito Skinner?

  Right? I mean, come on.

• 5:43Mary Beth Barone?

  Yep. Um, so thanks for understanding, which we know you will.

• 5:47Benito Skinner?

  So pretty.

• 5:47Mary Beth Barone?

  Thanks. I didn't blend in the brow enough.

• 5:49Benito Skinner?

  They get it. Also, it's like, it's a really good time back to school. Maybe, you know, you watch overcompensating, watch Galaxy Brain, like such great stuff on TV.

• 5:58Mary Beth Barone?

  Your favorite episode that you love. And we are sorry, but I just think we wanna continue to like celebrate the pod and.

• 6:05Benito Skinner?

  This is a celebration of love and queer and being queer.

• 6:08Mary Beth Barone?

  I mean queer and queer history.

• 6:10Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, queer and proud.

• 6:11Mary Beth Barone?

  And, and speaking of that, I was at a wedding in the Bahamas this weekend, a heterosexual wedding. My friend Carrie, such a fabulous wedding, like refilled my cup in such a way. And I was really looking forward to this wedding for the last 18 months and it was on the calendar. And my big goal was to have a date to bring to the wedding and I didn't end up having one. And I just had such a good time without a date.

• 6:33Benito Skinner?

  Dermot Mulroney.

• 6:34Mary Beth Barone?

  Dermot Mulroney. I should have, I tried to call him my gay friend. You were, your sister was in town, so you couldn't, you couldn't make it to the wedding.

• 6:40Benito Skinner?

  I know, I was about to be George at that wedding. And, oh, and I would have rocked it at the brunch.

• 6:45Mary Beth Barone?

  You would have started singing Dionne Warwick at the brunch.

• 6:48Benito Skinner?

  Of course. Dionne or what else? Hmm, I'm trying to think of what mine would be. Well, it gets into my thing today.

• 6:53Mary Beth Barone?

  Jazz standard.

• 6:53Benito Skinner?

  It's the midnight sun kiss, get out of the red skyline, oh, you're dressed like this, eh?

• 6:59Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 7:00Benito Skinner?

  You know what I mean? The eh was to the father of the bride.

• 7:02Mary Beth Barone?

  Totally. So.

• 7:04Benito Skinner?

  Bahama mama.

• 7:05Mary Beth Barone?

  In the Bahamas.

• 7:06Benito Skinner?

  Jackson's new shirt.

• 7:07Mary Beth Barone?

  Ma, Bahama.

• 7:08Benito Skinner?

  Bahama Maha Mama.

• 7:10Mary Beth Barone?

  Maha Bahama Mama, I think is the, is the better one.

• 7:13Benito Skinner?

  Fuck.

• 7:13Mary Beth Barone?

  Mahama Bahama Mama.

• 7:14Benito Skinner?

  Tommy Bahama Mama Mama.

• 7:16Mary Beth Barone?

  Mm-hmm.

• 7:16Benito Skinner?

  Maha Mama.

• 7:17Mary Beth Barone?

  So I had such a fabulous time at this wedding. And in the, in the house that I was in was my friend Andrew and his wife, Gian. And we just had, like, I, it's, there isn't an English word to describe how much fun I had with these two. We had so much sex together. And it just felt good.

• 7:34Benito Skinner?

  It's called sex.

• 7:35Mary Beth Barone?

  It was sex and it was right. It just felt good and it felt right. They just took such good care of me. And we, we were in that golf cart together and we made memories and it just like, even though I came back really tired because it was like multiple days of like events and socializing and partying, I also want to mention that like, not a lot of people know that weddings are where I really shine.

• 7:57Benito Skinner?

  Oh, yeah.

• 7:57Mary Beth Barone?

  My sparkling personality comes through, which I don't always have a sparkling personality, but at a wedding, like, I'm there to have fun.

• 8:03Benito Skinner?

  You notice I'm quiet?

• 8:04Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, yeah.

• 8:06Benito Skinner?

  I, I don't personally relate, but of course, to continue, this is your experience. What is this lip liner? Holy shit. Is that Wherever Walnut?

• 8:13Mary Beth Barone?

  It's Anywhere Caffeine. Nice try.

• 8:16Benito Skinner?

  Hey, even better.

• 8:16Mary Beth Barone?

  I have Wherever Walnut and I'm about to layer it.

• 8:18Benito Skinner?

  But don't even get me started on Endless Kakao.

• 8:20Mary Beth Barone?

  Right. But I will say one other thing, which is that I did confront some party crashers at the wedding. So.

• 8:31Benito Skinner?

  Nice try, hooligans.

• 8:35Mary Beth Barone?

  There were multiple wedding crashers at the wedding.

• 8:38Benito Skinner?

  I didn't know this was a thing, but yeah, I guess it is.

• 8:40Mary Beth Barone?

  And they were all different ages.

• 8:43Benito Skinner?

  You did it with a.

• 8:44Mary Beth Barone?

  Some of them were teens, some of them were adults.

• 8:47Benito Skinner?

  A little mirror putting on your leg.

• 8:48Mary Beth Barone?

  I did, I went up to them and I said, how do you know, how do you know Carrie and Ivan? They were speechless.

• 8:53Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 8:54Mary Beth Barone?

  And so I said, um, you know, I did my little spiel, like you guys should probably leave.

• 8:58Benito Skinner?

  Of course.

• 8:58Mary Beth Barone?

  And well, one group of like adult men came in.

• 9:01Benito Skinner?

  You boys should probably leave, right?

• 9:04Mary Beth Barone?

  One group of adult men came in and one of them had a popsicle. This wedding had a lot of stuff at it. Popsicle wasn't, wasn't one of them. So they, I mean, they had no choice but to admit that they weren't invited. And so in that moment, I realized like Iowa security and a lip combo.

• 9:19Benito Skinner?

  Do you know what daddy would have done?

• 9:20Mary Beth Barone?

  I can't even imagine.

• 9:22Benito Skinner?

  She would have taken the popsicle from the guy, put it down like a strap on and said, finish it if you want popsicles so bad. You can say at the wedding.

• 9:32Mary Beth Barone?

  You took one for the road, dude. You're, you're 37.

• 9:34Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, God.

• 9:35Mary Beth Barone?

  And you took a popsicle for the road.

• 9:36Benito Skinner?

  A grown man having a popsicle, they used to go to war, by the way.

• 9:39Mary Beth Barone?

  I know.

• 9:39Benito Skinner?

  My grandpa was like flying planes.

• 9:41Mary Beth Barone?

  But before you think I'm insane for doing that, like it's a safety issue. You don't want random guys at the wedding.

• 9:47Benito Skinner?

  Not at all. No, no, no. Here's the thing. Yeah. If people want to.

• 9:50Mary Beth Barone?

  At any event.

• 9:50Benito Skinner?

  Hey, don't Karen my best friend. She was just trying to keep everybody safe. But seriously though, especially in the Bahamas.

• 9:57Mary Beth Barone?

  For kicking out wedding crashers.

• 9:58Benito Skinner?

  Bahama, Maha Mama. Hey, girl, you never know.

• 10:02Mary Beth Barone?

  I mean, some of them were teens in literal golf clothes.

• 10:04Benito Skinner?

  We can kill women for anything. So just watch us skewer you on the internet.

• 10:08Mary Beth Barone?

  For, for that.

• 10:09Benito Skinner?

  I skewer you.

• 10:10Mary Beth Barone?

  You know what? I had a great, I just had the best time and I feel, I feel like my faith, just in like what we're doing here on this, on this planet we call Earth. I feel good about it.

• 10:21Benito Skinner?

  Good.

• 10:22Mary Beth Barone?

  And now I have full glam.

• 10:23Benito Skinner?

  I had the best night. I got to watch, I watched the first three episodes of Overcompensating and you are so of season two. You're so good in it. Every time you're on screen, I'm like, that's my girl. Oh yes, of course. Blend the neck.

• 10:37Mary Beth Barone?

  Sorry, I just wanted to do that.

• 10:40Mary Beth Barone?

  I can't wait to see it.

• 10:41Benito Skinner?

  Well, ta-da. Look at this. My daddy over there with his fan. Shit, but.

• 10:48Mary Beth Barone?

  Also, if you are going to a wedding alone, I highly recommend identifying an emotional support couple to be by your side for the entire weekend, or sometimes the emotional support couple chooses you. And in this case, Andrew and I have been friends for almost 10 years and his wife is just like, first of all, body tea. Holy shit.

• 11:07Benito Skinner?

  Goes without saying.

• 11:08Mary Beth Barone?

  And you know what? Like I gave her a blowout one of the days. She let me use her bag. I gave her, I went, I went down on her.

• 11:15Benito Skinner?

  You went down on.

• 11:16Mary Beth Barone?

  I went down on a guy.

• 11:17Benito Skinner?

  Down on her husband.

• 11:19Mary Beth Barone?

  She let me borrow her evening bag because I hadn't brought one. It was just like girlhood and it was beautiful. And so I just can't thank them enough for making the wedding so special. I mean, the wedding was already gonna be a special glorious event, but like I just didn't feel the absence of anyone. Like I didn't feel that.

• 11:35Benito Skinner?

  You're full.

• 11:36Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm in a transitional phase of life where I just think like, yeah, maybe I don't need a straight guy at a dinner who's embarrassing me. I could just like have fun with friends.

• 11:45Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, it's so.

• 11:46Mary Beth Barone?

  Have you ever had fun with friends?

• 11:48Benito Skinner?

  You know, it can happen and it'll, it'll hit you like it's on the brakes.

• 11:51Mary Beth Barone?

  Cause you've been at so many dinners where the person I brought has said something and I know people are like, you need to date a woman. I'm like, great. Let's have some incoming calls.

• 11:58Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 11:59Mary Beth Barone?

  Also, we have to turn the AC on.

• 12:01Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 12:01Mary Beth Barone?

  We have to. And this is another thing where within the world of taking two weeks off, we have to have the AC on. And if that, if that takes away from your experience of listening.

• 12:10Benito Skinner?

  I'm sorry, you guys.

• 12:10Mary Beth Barone?

  It's just a hum. It's gonna be okay.

• 12:12Benito Skinner?

  No, it's like, yeah.

• 12:13Mary Beth Barone?

  I can't watch you sweat and come here.

• 12:15Benito Skinner?

  Crazy. Like this, I'm like, you see me kind of fading?

• 12:19Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, I did. I watched the light in your eyes dim, so I just don't want that to happen.

• 12:23Benito Skinner?

  The heat, I just.

• 12:24Mary Beth Barone?

  I feel like there's a couple of other things we wanted to talk about upfront.

• 12:29Benito Skinner?

  So that is the hum of the AC because um, I just felt a trickle of sweat go all the way down my crack to my perfect pink butthole. Oh my God, I love Beekeepers Naturals.

• 12:40Mary Beth Barone?

  Keep this in.

• 12:41Benito Skinner?

  Okay, so I spray the, um, is it Propolis? Propolit, Propolis?

• 12:46Mary Beth Barone?

  Propol.

• 12:46Benito Skinner?

  Propolis?

• 12:47Mary Beth Barone?

  Something like that.

• 12:47Benito Skinner?

  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. I sprayed it at the back of my little, what's that called?

• 12:59Mary Beth Barone?

  Uh, the thingy.

• 13:00Benito Skinner?

  I love spraying that. Your daily dose of immunity for proactive immune support during back to school sick season. Okay? This, this spray could do it for you. They also have a nasal spray max. It reduces histamine response.

• 13:13Mary Beth Barone?

  We're nasal spray maxing.

• 13:15Benito 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. 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.

• 13:44Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, you can throw it in your clutch.

• 13:46Benito Skinner?

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

• 13:49Mary 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.

• 14:02Benito Skinner?

  Xylitol expands the nasal.

• 14:04Mary Beth Barone?

  That's what I was gonna say.

• 14:04Benito Skinner?

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

• 14:10Mary Beth Barone?

  But that's not all.

• 14:11Benito Skinner?

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

• 15:04Mary Beth Barone?

  You got hit, you got struck with inspo.

• 15:06Benito Skinner?

  I went and it hit me and I went, oh my God, I have our costume. I sent it to Mary Beth. We have it done.

• 15:11Mary Beth Barone?

  I found it immediately.

• 15:13Benito Skinner?

  No prosthetics, because that's my little gift to you, of course.

• 15:15Mary Beth Barone?

  I really appreciate that.

• 15:16Benito Skinner?

  Congratulations on Galaxy Brain. I got you the best. Can I tell you what present I got you for it?

• 15:20Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, for what? For?

• 15:21Benito Skinner?

  For Galaxy Brain.

• 15:22Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, yeah.

• 15:23Benito Skinner?

  I like wanna ruin a present right now. It just hit me like a ton of bricks. Because I saw it.

• 15:28Mary Beth Barone?

  My present was you dressing up as me. And by that, I mean you doing drag as me.

• 15:31Benito Skinner?

  Of course. Well, like, was that even drag? Like, it like transcended something.

• 15:36Mary Beth Barone?

  A lot of people just said they didn't see you at the party.

• 15:38Benito Skinner?

  You know what? I got nice feedback from the blonde, probably not on Twitter. I don't go on there, but I got really nice feedback on that. But a lot of girls being like, it made me think about things. And I go, isn't that why I was put on Earth?

• 15:51Mary Beth Barone?

  You still keep thinking. Well, one of the comments on the post was, this is what would happen if God made Adam from Eve's rib, which

• 16:02Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm like, damn, y'all are funny.

• 16:04Benito Skinner?

  No, they pop off. They, no, seriously, when I sprint to the comments on TikTok, way funnier than anything else.

• 16:11Mary Beth Barone?

  No, they're, they're having fun.

• 16:13Benito Skinner?

  Like, oh.

• 16:14Mary Beth Barone?

  That really, really made me smile.

• 16:16Benito Skinner?

  I, lately though, I've seen a few people where they, a lot of brides are doing the, baby, where the hell is my husband? And um, a lot of the creators have turned off comments because it's, you know, I can't even imagine. Sometimes I'm like, hey, let's not bully, but then occasionally I'm like, well, maybe some, maybe some feedback couldn't be that bad.

• 16:37Mary Beth Barone?

  Giving people a platform and they create a cinematic universe and a conversation and a discourse in the comments.

• 16:42Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 16:43Mary Beth Barone?

  And you can always turn it off. And that's what's beautiful about it. So where'd you buy me?

• 16:45Benito Skinner?

  I'm kidding to tell you.

• 16:47Mary Beth Barone?

  Where'd you get me?

• 16:47Benito Skinner?

  You could never in a million years guess what it was.

• 16:49Mary Beth Barone?

  I can't.

• 16:50Benito Skinner?

  So I am, I'm on TikTok. Please tell me, and I'm sure my kids will. I'm in the best barony chat with a bunch of gay guys. It's like heaven. Every now and then I check in on my boys. And it's called Tiny Little Tops and it's just, it's heaven on earth. But um. I think because you go to school and have so much shame for the things you like. It's so fun when you come out to be like, oh, my God, yeah, I loved dolls. So whenever they're like doll collectors on TikTok, I just watch them. I'm like, that's so fun. Like, and they'll, they, one of them went through all of the dolls they made for like Hercules and Pocahontas and Milan. And I had like all of them, like my mom bought me. I was just like, this is, this is what we're doing.

• 17:30Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 17:30Benito Skinner?

  And Esmeralda, oh, my God, I had a good doll for her. Very sexy.

• 17:34Mary Beth Barone?

  I had a really good one for Megra and for Pocahontas.

• 17:36Benito Skinner?

  I distinctly remember making Hercules and Megra fuck.

• 17:39Mary Beth Barone?

  Megra's had a, had an apparatus on the dress that could make it go from mini to maxi.

• 17:44Benito Skinner?

  Oh, and her, um, she has a Grecian goddess one that's like blue with like a white cape. So I'm on the one of these and this doll, this collector brings up that there's a limited edition Little Mermaid coming out of the water doll. I bought it. I found it. It's so good.

• 18:01Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, my God.

• 18:02Benito Skinner?

  It's so fucking good.

• 18:03Mary Beth Barone?

  Like.

• 18:03Benito Skinner?

  I know. I saw it and I went, oh, my God, the galaxy rain dress. And it's, as a kid, it just brought me so much joy buying it. And I was like, oh, my God, this doll would have fucking rocked my world.

• 18:15Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 18:15Benito Skinner?

  And I, I saw it and they're like, this is, I think it's for, what, Little Mermaid came in the, in the eighties. So I guess 40th anniversary or some kind of like, I don't know. But anniversary for it and they did her coming out of the water and I thought, oh, my God, and has her red hair with the purple. I was like, this is the doll of galaxy. It, the joy it brought me, gifts off season.

• 18:36Mary Beth Barone?

  Gifts off season and wow, I can't believe you told me you never do that.

• 18:41Benito Skinner?

  The issue, though, would be it comes this week and then we're going to LA and then.

• 18:45Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, it would be weeks and weeks.

• 18:47Benito Skinner?

  I'm going abroad.

• 18:48Mary Beth Barone?

  You're going abroad. You're going to stay abroad.

• 18:50Benito Skinner?

  This feels like your summer, me at this Bahamas wedding.

• 18:55Mary Beth Barone?

  You at the, at the Maha Bahama.

• 18:57Benito Skinner?

  So I was like, it'll just, it will take forever to get you this present. And I actually cannot wait anymore.

• 19:02Mary Beth Barone?

  I hope you got a ship somewhere where it can be brought inside because I know your apartment is. Okay, good.

• 19:07Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, my FedEx guy, he's got the codes.

• 19:09Mary Beth Barone?

  That I cannot wait to have it. And you know that my apartment is.

• 19:11Benito Skinner?

  I immediately feel better. AC.

• 19:13Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, this is important. My apartment is filled with things that bring a childlike wonder back to me.

• 19:18Benito Skinner?

  That's what I thought.

• 19:19Mary Beth Barone?

  Mary-Kate Nash's headshots.

• 19:20Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 19:21Mary Beth Barone?

  I have a lot of I love Lucy memorabilia.

• 19:24Benito Skinner?

  And you have my permission to take her out of the box.

• 19:26Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm not going to.

• 19:26Benito Skinner?

  Okay.

• 19:27Mary Beth Barone?

  It's staying in the box and it's gonna go right next to my candelabras.

• 19:30Benito Skinner?

  I understand that.

• 19:30Mary Beth Barone?

  That I bought.

• 19:31Benito Skinner?

  She's gonna be perfect next to those Russian candelabras.

• 19:35Mary Beth Barone?

  They're beautiful. They're so fragile, though.

• 19:37Benito Skinner?

  My favorite, it was me taking those candelabras and walking across the Williamsburg Bridge with them. I am Lumiere in certain ways. I mean, I just, like.

• 19:47Mary Beth Barone?

  What are the odds that would come out this year?

• 19:49Benito Skinner?

  You've got to be fucking kidding me.

• 19:50Mary Beth Barone?

  Whoa.

• 19:51Benito Skinner?

  Like she is, and it's fully the purple of your dress.

• 19:55Mary Beth Barone?

  And she's like serving body tea.

• 19:57Benito Skinner?

  That's freaking Ariel.

• 19:58Mary Beth Barone?

  Water. She has like a water crown.

• 20:00Benito Skinner?

  Coming up.

• 20:01Mary Beth Barone?

  And this actually is, is sort of ma- making me think of also the Cindy Crawford Rolling Stone cover that I have framed of her on the beach.

• 20:11Benito Skinner?

  No one does gifts like me. Sorry. I just, I have yet to meet, actually, my sister Laura is pretty fucking good at gifts, but like, all right, wait. Just, just so we can, which camera? This one? We'll put it on the screen, but like, are you kidding me?

• 20:25Mary Beth Barone?

  And that's my husband.

• 20:26Benito Skinner?

  Look at this.

• 20:28Benito Skinner?

  God, she's so pretty and she has purple eyeshadow on. I just saw it and I was like, it's literally your dress.

• 20:34Mary Beth Barone?

  No, it's, it is actually.

• 20:36Benito Skinner?

  She's like Ariel's wearing Viterhoff.

• 20:37Mary Beth Barone?

  Jackson Viterhoff.

• 20:38Benito Skinner?

  Okay, and then the box? Come on.

• 20:41Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, it's stunning. I mean, that's just that. It's gonna live. It's gonna live. It's gonna have a life.

• 20:46Benito Skinner?

  So, I'm so happy you like it.

• 20:48Mary Beth Barone?

  I love it. And, uh, you're making me think of other stuff that I need to buy. I did want to say while we're on the topic of comments, we were on the topic, three, three topics ago.

• 20:57Benito Skinner?

  Well, I read the meanest thing about me on Twitter the other day and I'm.

• 20:59Mary Beth Barone?

  I thought you'd go on there.

• 21:01Benito Skinner?

  I just accidentally went, someone sent me something because they're like, have you seen this? And I went and it was so evil.

• 21:07Mary Beth Barone?

  Just next time you want to do that, please just send me a text.

• 21:10Benito Skinner?

  I just don't, yeah, I don't need to. My therapist said that everyone else's narrative is theirs. It's none of your business.

• 21:15Mary Beth Barone?

  It's not when what's mine's is mine's.

• 21:17Benito Skinner?

  What's mine's is mine and what's yours is yours.

• 21:19Mary Beth Barone?

  So.

• 21:20Benito Skinner?

  Yes.

• 21:20Mary Beth Barone?

  When I did the Tonight Show.

• 21:22Benito Skinner?

  With Jay Leno?

• 21:23Mary Beth Barone?

  With, with Jay Leno. When I did the Tonight Show last year. Or two years ago, 2024, I think.

• 21:29Benito Skinner?

  Yes, mama.

• 21:30Mary Beth Barone?

  Someone commented on a clip on TikTok and said she needs a stylist.

• 21:34Benito Skinner?

  Yes.

• 21:34Mary Beth Barone?

  And then someone else replied to that comment and said, you need Ozempic.

• 21:38Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 21:39Mary Beth Barone?

  And the original commenter said, I'm a recovering anorexic. Thank you. And then the, the person who said you need Ozempic goes, babe, you've recovered. And I know that that might be seen as like a problematic exchange, but what I love about it.

• 21:57Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 21:57Mary Beth Barone?

  Is I think babe, you've recovered could be one of the greatest comebacks of all time.

• 22:03Benito Skinner?

  It has a Joan Rivers quality to it. Might I add.

• 22:06Mary Beth Barone?

  It has a painterly quality.

• 22:08Benito Skinner?

  It has a painterly quality.

• 22:09Mary Beth Barone?

  Keep my wife's name out of your fucking mouth.

• 22:11Benito Skinner?

  It's very that. It's very like. Y'all ever been in Marquee when it shut down? Like, there's kind of just nothing you can, it's just. It's a little bit like, I, I think I've said this before, but gay guys always had like the best comeback ready, just in case someone said we were gay. And it's, it's got, I mean.

• 22:30Mary Beth Barone?

  Babe, you've recovered.

• 22:32Benito Skinner?

  That's a mic, that's a mic drop.

• 22:34Mary Beth Barone?

  So I encourage you to work, babe, you've recovered into your lexicon.

• 22:37Benito Skinner?

  You've recovered.

• 22:38Mary Beth Barone?

  Babe, you've recovered.

• 22:42Benito Skinner?

  It, it's just, and obviously there was no response after that.

• 22:46Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, what could, what could you say?

• 22:47Benito Skinner?

  I think there's, at that point, there's deleting comments.

• 22:50Mary Beth Barone?

  Delete and maybe when you're.

• 22:53Benito Skinner?

  Maybe let's start from scratch. Of course you have the screenshot. But also, sorry, I just think like, if you're gonna spew hate out there, like, you're gonna get, you're gonna get got. Like, I'm not really like slinging things out there because I don't want people to come for me.

• 23:08Mary Beth Barone?

  I have something fun to tell you after we record.

• 23:10Benito Skinner?

  No fucking way.

• 23:11Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 23:12Benito Skinner?

  How fun. Levels?

• 23:13Mary Beth Barone?

  It's, it's.

• 23:14Benito Skinner?

  As fun as getting your grown woman adult friend a doll?

• 23:17Mary Beth Barone?

  It might be.

• 23:18Benito Skinner?

  Holy shit.

• 23:19Mary Beth Barone?

  Because I have screenshots of something that's gonna make you happy. I think one thing I did.

• 23:24Benito Skinner?

  This is me glitching.

• 23:25Mary Beth Barone?

  Me being like, trying to talk about something serious.

• 23:28Benito Skinner?

  I break through this.

• 23:29Mary Beth Barone?

  You break through the floor.

• 23:30Benito Skinner?

  I want to break through a floor so bad. Never mind.

• 23:34Mary Beth Barone?

  I feel like this season has been tricky for me to talk about life.

• 23:38Benito Skinner?

  We want to name names, but we can't.

• 23:40Mary Beth Barone?

  Difficult to talk about life without going into too much detail and wanting to protect people's peace. So I just think like, we're doing our absolute best to, to continue to bring you what is going on in our lives without putting anyone in our lives in a situation.

• 23:55Benito Skinner?

  Yes, and I would say for us, the people in our lives, the people we bring into our lives. Give them grace and love and acceptance and you know us. I really do think you do know us.

• 24:12Mary Beth Barone?

  It's been, but we're having fun. I do want to say we're having fun.

• 24:14Benito Skinner?

  I.

• 24:15Mary Beth Barone?

  This season feels more free.

• 24:16Benito Skinner?

  This season, oh, my God, literally.

• 24:18Mary Beth Barone?

  Also, I gave a speech.

• 24:19Benito Skinner?

  It's not okay. I don't fuck with it, Madonna.

• 24:22Mary Beth Barone?

  I gave a speech at the wedding about trying to get out of the Dear Media contract.

• 24:29Mary Beth Barone?

  Clink, clink, clink. Hey, everyone.

• 24:34Mary Beth Barone?

  Let's raise a glass.

• 24:38Mary Beth Barone?

  Okay, let's get into what we write for.

• 24:40Benito Skinner?

  So today I will finally be, and you know, maybe some people will be like, it's, you're, this took so long.

• 24:47Mary Beth Barone?

  Who cares?

• 24:47Benito Skinner?

  No, but I kind of just want to preface like, preface.

• 24:51Mary Beth Barone?

  I was gonna let that one go, by the way.

• 24:53Benito Skinner?

  I just want to preface. I'm so.

• 24:55Mary Beth Barone?

  I was gonna let that go. We have, we have preface, we have half, haphazardly, and we have.

• 25:02Benito Skinner?

  Cun.

• 25:02Mary Beth Barone?

  Tinselating and cun and tinselating.

• 25:04Benito Skinner?

  I wish that I still thought it was called cun.

• 25:07Mary Beth Barone?

  We should have let that one go.

• 25:08Benito Skinner?

  You're gonna cun for me?

• 25:11Mary Beth Barone?

  Where do you want to cun?

• 25:12Benito Skinner?

  So today I will be writing for Zara Larsson's Midnight Sun.

• 25:16Mary Beth Barone?

  And I will be writing for flirting. I feel like this is a long, this one's a long time coming as well.

• 25:21Benito Skinner?

  These are very intertwined to me. Cause it's the midnight sun, kiss, get out of the rest, I lay it on your chest like this. So Midnight Sun, and for those of you who haven't had Zara Larsson come across your desk, you have been missing out on that lush life. Zara Larsson is a Swedish pop star who has taken the world by storm, but she has been working doggedly for years. She was on, I believe Sweden's Got Talent when she was like a kid. Sorry, if you can't.

• 25:50Benito Skinner?

  If you can't love Zara Larsson at her ruin my life, I don't think you get Midnight Sun. You're welcome, but.

• 25:59Mary Beth Barone?

  But you should go back and.

• 26:00Benito Skinner?

  Revisit the classics.

• 26:01Mary Beth Barone?

  Secret texts, yeah.

• 26:02Benito Skinner?

  So Midnight Sun is this ferocious album by Zara Larsson. It is truly, it's transporting you to the beach. It's Maui babe. It's, um, seashell anklets. It's, um, Swarovski crystals across your eyes, a dolphin jumping in the water, Lisa Frank, but without the problematic vibes.

• 26:23Mary Beth Barone?

  What was that?

• 26:24Benito Skinner?

  Lisa Frank has some interesting business practices, allegedly.

• 26:28Mary Beth Barone?

  Okay, I don't want to know.

• 26:29Benito Skinner?

  I hate that we have to say allegedly. It's like, no.

• 26:32Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, if it's proven, it's only alleged if it's like, um, they were accused of something and.

• 26:36Benito Skinner?

  Like a guy who actively like was dating a 16 year old and I couldn't say on this pod that he's a fucking pedophile.

• 26:43Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, because you would have to say alleged.

• 26:46Benito Skinner?

  It's like, can't you call someone a pedophile anymore?

• 26:49Mary Beth Barone?

  Americans are very litigious.

• 26:50Benito Skinner?

  People love to bring it up to gay guys.

• 26:52Mary Beth Barone?

  I know.

• 26:52Benito Skinner?

  Have I talked about like, I just think it's so funny that Republicans always talk about it because like, it has to be top of mind.

• 26:58Mary Beth Barone?

  Right, no.

• 27:01Benito Skinner?

  Like, I'm not thinking about that word a lot.

• 27:03Mary Beth Barone?

  No, except if I meet a Republican.

• 27:05Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, exactly. I think, hmm. Duddy's killed 15 pedophiles to date.

• 27:10Mary Beth Barone?

  I honestly, and I think she has a lot to look forward to.

• 27:14Benito Skinner?

  That's the shit. She's dumping them in the river.

• 27:16Mary Beth Barone?

  She dumps them in with two hands. It's easy for her.

• 27:19Benito Skinner?

  Of course it's easy for her.

• 27:21Mary Beth Barone?

  Overhead.

• 27:22Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 27:22Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 27:23Benito Skinner?

  She dusts off thigh-high boots. So, Zara Larsson has this album, but why I'm writing for Midnight Sun.

• 27:30Mary Beth Barone?

  The song?

• 27:31Benito Skinner?

  I'm actually writing for the whole era.

• 27:34Mary Beth Barone?

  Okay.

• 27:34Benito Skinner?

  Because it's, it is this, it's someone who has worked so hard. It's very Charlie Bratt. Where someone who has worked so long and so hard finally gets their flowers.

• 27:46Mary Beth Barone?

  Their flowers.

• 27:47Benito Skinner?

  And it's because they just are fully true to themselves and they, she created an entire world. It is like, I am immersed. It's girlhood. And she made this whole remix album called Girls Trip, which is only with female artists.

• 28:01Mary Beth Barone?

  It's glittery, it's bright, it's poppy, it's shiny.

• 28:04Benito Skinner?

  She brought back glam.

• 28:05Mary Beth Barone?

  She brought back glam.

• 28:06Benito Skinner?

  Glam was in a coffin somewhere.

• 28:07Mary Beth Barone?

  Glam was dead in a ditch.

• 28:08Benito Skinner?

  We were just glazing our faces. We were just glazed donuts, but we weren't putting on eyeshadow. She, oh my god, her, I think her name is Sophie Sinot. It's S-I-N-O-T. Oh my god, it's incredible. The beats that she's, that Zara is doing on this tour. The dances, the body is crazy tea, the costumes are heaven sent.

• 28:31Mary Beth Barone?

  The energy, the celebratory nature.

• 28:33Benito Skinner?

  She is also, her politics, her personality, her TikToks.

• 28:37Mary Beth Barone?

  Her interviews.

• 28:38Benito Skinner?

  She is heaven sent. When they're like, what do you like not listen to? She's like, well, you're never gonna find me listening to Chris Brown. Like, woman abusers.

• 28:46Mary Beth Barone?

  She's just naming names.

• 28:46Benito Skinner?

  Allegedly.

• 28:47Mary Beth Barone?

  Allegedly.

• 28:48Benito Skinner?

  Jesus.

• 28:49Mary Beth Barone?

  I want to point out, so, something fun, a connection that I have to Midnight Sun is that it was featured in the Sonic commercial I did. And let's sip to that. Let's sip to that.

• 28:58Benito Skinner?

  Can we just sip to that? You know, Sonic and I have a huge relationship. Because there was a Sonic right by my high school and I would go and get tater tots there and then an ocean breeze slush. Or there was a cream slush they had for a while where you would get orange or lemon.

• 29:11Mary Beth Barone?

  That sounds very Midnight Sun, actually.

• 29:13Benito Skinner?

  Oh my god, it is so, actually, you know what? Sonic really knew what they were doing there because it's very Midnight Sun. Their drink menu is just like, you're not gonna find.

• 29:21Mary Beth Barone?

  Midnight Sun refreshers.

• 29:21Benito Skinner?

  And then every now and then you have a chili cheese dog there and you shit, your fucking brains out.

• 29:25Mary Beth Barone?

  Allegedly.

• 29:26Benito Skinner?

  Allegedly, dude. But I really found this album during the, like, the fall, like, last fall. And then it was kind of during the winter. I was like, it was all I would work out to. And this song, like, that's the thing with the ambition. It's called Ambition. That one's amazing. Crush is like explosive. The Eli remix of Crush.

• 29:47Mary Beth Barone?

  I was gonna say the Eli remix.

• 29:48Benito Skinner?

  The Tyler remix of Hot and Sexy. And then also the Pink Panthers of it all. And Zara Larsson obviously had a huge moment with Pink Panthers because of the stateside remix.

• 29:57Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 29:58Benito Skinner?

  That our Miss Girls skated to.

• 30:00Mary Beth Barone?

  Remember when we were in London listening to that in the hotel room we shared?

• 30:06Mary Beth Barone?

  That was a really special time.

• 30:08Benito Skinner?

  That was a really good trip.

• 30:08Mary Beth Barone?

  We were there for a photo shoot. And I was trying to get someone to respond to my Instagram story and they did.

• 30:14Benito Skinner?

  And like, what could be better than that? We cheered.

• 30:16Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, we had a big, big celebration.

• 30:18Benito Skinner?

  We had chicken tenders there. We went to a gag night.

• 30:23Benito Skinner?

  Big fucking trip, dude. Oh, god.

• 30:28Mary Beth Barone?

  The never-ending Midnight Sun.

• 30:29Benito Skinner?

  But then Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico happened. And sorry, but Midnight Sun, it's all we played. And obviously Jake Sam is famous twink.

• 30:37Mary Beth Barone?

  Famous twink and fellow member of the security team.

• 30:39Benito Skinner?

  Is such a Zara head. So it was like, oh my god, we were in the water, we went like this.

• 30:45Mary Beth Barone?

  And then we found out it wasn't safe to swim there.

• 30:47Benito Skinner?

  Well, you know, the Riptide, very.

• 30:50Mary Beth Barone?

  The Riptide of it all.

• 30:51Benito Skinner?

  Very Midnight Sun. But I just urge everyone to dive into all that is Zara Larsson and dive into this Midnight Sun. Put a little flower in your hair, put a sparkle on your eye, wear a crop top.

• 31:02Mary Beth Barone?

  Wear a shadow.

• 31:03Benito Skinner?

  Wear, literally, like, I want it, and fuck it, make it orange. Like, I don't care. But I just, she, I think if I was gonna be a pop star, that she looks like the one I would pick because I would have so much fun.

• 31:15Mary Beth Barone?

  Totally.

• 31:15Benito Skinner?

  There's such an essence to all of it. There is a playfulness. And the music, her voice is gorgeous. Like, she is so fucking talented. The dancing, I just, I just think it's like joy and it feels like Barbenheimer.

• 31:29Mary Beth Barone?

  Totally.

• 31:29Benito Skinner?

  It's got, it's got Barbenheimer energy and it's like letting people be playful and it's also inclusive. And also like still fiery and sex posy, sex posy. And I just, holy fuck. Have you ever seen a pretty girl get ugly like this? That was you before you put your makeup on, dude. Not true, you're beautiful all the time. But I would love to do a little frickin' Midnight Sun look on you, girl. And it's like spray painted shirts where you go to like a fair and you like put on a.

• 32:01Mary Beth Barone?

  You go to the fair.

• 32:02Benito Skinner?

  She loves putting on a hat like this. Oh my god, it's like so, I just, I love her. I love her.

• 32:07Mary Beth Barone?

  It makes me feel alive.

• 32:09Benito Skinner?

  Agreed. And it makes me feel like, oh my god, I have a Playboy bunny, like, tan line.

• 32:13Mary Beth Barone?

  Tan line, ah.

• 32:14Benito Skinner?

  On my bosom, above my bosom.

• 32:16Mary Beth Barone?

  Back there.

• 32:17Benito Skinner?

  And being blonde and like listening to Midnight Sun, like, that can feel like a mini box. Blue moon. Shine on me, kiss me in the dark.

• 32:28Benito Skinner?

  Tell me I look beautiful.

• 32:29Mary Beth Barone?

  Underneath the stars.

• 32:31Benito Skinner?

  In Swedish, I believe puss puss is kind of like, it's a fun greeting.

• 32:36Mary Beth Barone?

  Okay.

• 32:37Benito Skinner?

  It's aloha of sorts.

• 32:38Mary Beth Barone?

  I haven't even saying that to me.

• 32:40Benito Skinner?

  Well, today's the day. And that whole concept, I can't. Puss puss.

• 32:44Mary Beth Barone?

  Puss puss.

• 32:44Benito Skinner?

  Puss puss, on the night, puss puss, on the place, puss puss, on the place. Yeah, I just, I would love to get her on the pod, actually. Zara, this is an invitation.

• 32:57Mary Beth Barone?

  Let's do that. We'll work on that.

• 32:58Benito Skinner?

  I would die for that.

• 32:59Mary Beth Barone?

  We'll get our best guys on this.

• 33:00Benito Skinner?

  You'll see me be a little.

• 33:02Mary Beth Barone?

  I would be shy. I mean, I would just like let her go, let her freaking go.

• 33:05Benito Skinner?

  I'm bad. It's like, I'm shy at first and then I'm like, let me, let me hold you.

• 33:10Mary Beth Barone?

  I want to thank her for all she's given us and for the years of tireless hard work. And you know what? We're happy to have you.

• 33:15Benito Skinner?

  How great is that? A woman who's just worked her ass off. And she had this interview where they kind of like asked her about flopping.

• 33:21Mary Beth Barone?

  I know, that was crazy. That felt like, it was like the start of this, like, I mean, the, she's doing amazing things on the internet. And it felt like that interview, which was like a serious interview, like on the news.

• 33:33Benito Skinner?

  I know.

• 33:33Mary Beth Barone?

  And they asked her about flopping.

• 33:34Benito Skinner?

  The, I, I find issue with the Kia asylum of it all. I don't think it's funny. It's like my one thing I'm serious about because I'm like, well, so, obviously Bad Bunny excluded. What do we call the place where all these male singers go? Because all of them have one song that's just on the radio and then they, I'm like, what's, what's their version? Do we really need to find a prison to put women who are putting themselves out there? Don't, can we not do that?

• 34:01Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm totally against it. You know, I'm totally against it.

• 34:04Benito Skinner?

  It's just like not funny to me.

• 34:05Mary Beth Barone?

  No, it's not funny.

• 34:06Benito Skinner?

  I was watching this, oh my god, it came up on my feed. I was watching Britney Spears, a tour doc about her. Um, when she was in the Dream Within a Dream tour. It's just like how much she's putting herself out there in the work. I can't even think about it.

• 34:20Mary Beth Barone?

  I know. Well, if we keep disrespecting our stars, we're gonna lose our stars.

• 34:24Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, so can we just like, let them.

• 34:27Mary Beth Barone?

  Just chill.

• 34:27Benito Skinner?

  Have music that maybe, it doesn't, does it all need to hit so hard? But she kind of very much gave it a, babe, you've recovered. She was like, you know, this flop happened and it's the Midnight Sun.

• 34:39Mary Beth Barone?

  And I'm sitting here with you, aren't I?

• 34:41Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 34:42Mary Beth Barone?

  Baby, you've recovered.

• 34:43Benito Skinner?

  You've recovered.

• 34:45Benito Skinner?

  K18 is a biotech engineered hair care brand on a mission to unlock your fullest expression without hair damage. I am a [BLEEP] with the leave-in conditioner stuff. Like, I put that in after just like a big week on set because I'm an actor.

• 34:59Mary Beth Barone?

  Right.

• 35:00Benito Skinner?

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

• 35:04Mary Beth Barone?

  I was gonna say that.

• 35:05Benito Skinner?

  Keep going.

• 35:05Mary Beth Barone?

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

• 35:11Benito Skinner?

  K18's Air Wash Dry Shampoo is best-selling non-aerosol dry shampoo for all hair types. I'm a [BLEEP] with the K18. They have a great, um, kind of like detox shampoo.

• 35:21Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, the woman that cuts my hair is [BLEEP].

• 35:23Benito 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.

• 35:33Mary 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.

• 35:48Benito 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.

• 36:04Mary 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.

• 36:14Benito Skinner?

  Fresh hair and scalp for up to three days.

• 36:16Mary Beth Barone?

  The first biotech-powered dry shampoo, no white cast, starchy buildup, or heavy fragrance. So, shop at Sephora. My god, go ahead.

• 36:24Benito 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.

• 36:36Mary Beth Barone?

  Let's talk about flirting.

• 36:37Benito Skinner?

  Flirting? Oh shit. Ha. No, you could give a class on this, baby girl.

• 36:42Mary Beth Barone?

  I don't think people know how much this is like a skill of mine that I possess and I can really tap into it or I can step back from it. And I just think flirting is one of life's great joys. It's actually, I had to look in, on Ride on Spotify to make sure I hadn't already ridden for this or rode for this.

• 36:59Benito Skinner?

  You listen to every episode.

• 37:00Mary Beth Barone?

  I listen to every single episode and I had not. So, I love flirting. I love flirting on text. I love flirting on DM. I love flirting, quick interaction out in public, on the dance floor, at a wedding. I mean, the sky's the limit. How do you flirt? Finger and mouth all the way?

• 37:18Benito Skinner?

  I find that it's really helpful when you're talking to a guy. I have a few tips if you want me to share them.

• 37:23Mary Beth Barone?

  I do.

• 37:24Benito Skinner?

  Just to anyone in the middle of them talking, you just go, you just have your tongue out. And they'll go, what? What?

• 37:31Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, you know how it's gay waiter.

• 37:32Benito Skinner?

  Call guys stupid. Stupid.

• 37:35Mary Beth Barone?

  Gay waiter who knows something you don't is high, but flirting is high. It's different.

• 37:43Benito Skinner?

  Oh my god.

• 37:43Mary Beth Barone?

  I also want to talk about nagging, which is a style of flirting that was invented by that guy, the pickup artist or whatever, where you just like insult people as a way to.

• 37:51Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, that's never.

• 37:52Mary Beth Barone?

  That is so fucking illegal. If you do that to me, I will leave the event.

• 37:55Benito Skinner?

  You will never get in my knickers that way, by the way.

• 37:57Mary Beth Barone?

  I left an event recently because I was being nagged by a child star, former child star. He wasn't a kid anymore.

• 38:02Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, of course.

• 38:03Mary Beth Barone?

  But he was being so rude to me and I was just like, I'm leaving.

• 38:06Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, what are we in kindergarten?

• 38:07Mary Beth Barone?

  This isn't fun. This is fun for you because it's not fun for me.

• 38:10Benito Skinner?

  No.

• 38:11Mary Beth Barone?

  Flirting doesn't always need, it's not about the destination, it's about the journey.

• 38:14Benito Skinner?

  I agree.

• 38:14Mary Beth Barone?

  Flirting is the journey. You're not trying to hook up with everyone you flirt with. Sometimes it's just for fun.

• 38:19Benito Skinner?

  Of course. As a little Scorpio, sometimes I am just like, oh my god, it's not that deep. And then, and then I hit him with.

• 38:25Mary Beth Barone?

  And when you're funny, I would say like flirting can just be like sort of an exercise.

• 38:29Benito Skinner?

  Well, we're storytellers.

• 38:30Mary Beth Barone?

  And we're storytellers.

• 38:31Benito Skinner?

  We're storytellers. I, oh god, I mean, oh my god, thinking about flirty texts or a flirty fucking message, what it could do to the heart's fire.

• 38:40Mary Beth Barone?

  Instagram story.

• 38:41Benito Skinner?

  Midnight Sun is very flirtatious.

• 38:44Mary Beth Barone?

  And if you hear that song on the dance floor, I think it, it can be electrifying. And then all of a sudden you're flirting with your body language.

• 38:51Benito Skinner?

  Do you know what I love doing? I love doing this.

• 38:54Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, that's really good. Wow, it says little tiny muscles.

• 38:59Benito Skinner?

  It's these muscles I've got up here and you just can be like, whatever.

• 39:02Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, at the wedding, I was told by a male guest after, when we were at the after after party, he was like, you're a really good dancer. And it just felt like good.

• 39:12Benito Skinner?

  Didn't he tell, he told you this in a hot tub?

• 39:13Mary Beth Barone?

  He told me in the hot tub.

• 39:14Benito Skinner?

  Because I can picture it. And then you lifted up your knee-high leather boot you were wearing in the hot tub.

• 39:19Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 39:19Benito Skinner?

  You let the water drain out of it and you said, I said, I guess I got it from my mother.

• 39:24Mary Beth Barone?

  I said, say it again.

• 39:25Benito Skinner?

  My mother was a dancer as well.

• 39:27Mary Beth Barone?

  And then I did the BB Rexha pose where her head was out of the water and her butt, but no other part of her body.

• 39:31Benito Skinner?

  Mm-mm. Fuck, I'm.

• 39:34Mary Beth Barone?

  You're thinking about it now.

• 39:35Benito Skinner?

  Well, I am. And then I'm also thinking of, he wanna lick my bum, clap my raps, ta ta ta. Got him going crazy for that poon, na na na na.

• 39:43Mary Beth Barone?

  So people make this stuff, people make and post things like that, not knowing it's gonna come across Benny Drama's desk. And then it's my problem all of a sudden.

• 39:51Benito Skinner?

  I'm sorry. And then it, so the day I learned about this Diddy, this melody on TikTok, I saw Raccoon Puppet performing it. And I just thought, well, shit, they nailed this.

• 40:00Mary Beth Barone?

  It's made for me.

• 40:01Benito Skinner?

  This was made for me. Happy birthday to me.

• 40:03Mary Beth Barone?

  And can I just say that unless you're in a relationship with someone, and maybe even after you are.

• 40:09Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, wait.

• 40:10Mary Beth Barone?

  I don't think that sending memes is flirting unless it's a screenshot of a meme that you're texting me and it applies to me specifically. Trading videos back and forth isn't flirting. It has to be specific and it has to be thought through and it has to make sense for me.

• 40:22Benito Skinner?

  That's not hot.

• 40:23Mary Beth Barone?

  It's not hot because sometimes you're way off. Can I just tell you?

• 40:25Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, flirting is like, you know, it's like you're making a little, you're doing little bits.

• 40:29Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah.

• 40:30Benito Skinner?

  And I'm kind of like.

• 40:31Mary Beth Barone?

  Should we flirt right now?

• 40:32Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, but I have to, do you want to see my Circe impression now or later?

• 40:36Mary Beth Barone?

  What is from Game of Thrones?

• 40:38Benito Skinner?

  The day I found, no, um, the witch from The Odyssey.

• 40:42Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh, okay.

• 40:43Benito Skinner?

  These men, you leave me with these men, these pigs. You know what they do to me? Samantha Morton in The Odyssey, Oscar campaign.

• 40:52Mary Beth Barone?

  It starts here.

• 40:53Benito Skinner?

  I can't, it starts right here, baby. And also, well, come on the pod, we have her and Zara, same episode.

• 40:58Mary Beth Barone?

  Ooh, four mics.

• 41:00Benito Skinner?

  That's the thing with the ambition. Everything's a competition, ladies. They're like, what?

• 41:06Mary Beth Barone?

  They're like, the fuck?

• 41:09Benito Skinner?

  I think I would flirt with both of them, but her performance in The Odyssey, I think about it once a day. I want to re-watch the scene a hundred times. It is so unbelievable. She's in it for like less than five minutes.

• 41:18Mary Beth Barone?

  I haven't seen it yet.

• 41:19Benito Skinner?

  Just when it's gonna, it's gonna happen. It's a little life. It's gonna happen.

• 41:22Mary Beth Barone?

  It's gonna be the right time for me.

• 41:23Benito Skinner?

  But her performance, I, but I can't stop doing it. It's like I have, ra ta ta ta ta, got him going crazy for that poon, na na na na, into, these pigs, these men.

• 41:34Mary Beth Barone?

  You need to make an edit.

• 41:36Benito Skinner?

  They do feel, yeah, I'm, can someone make that edit for me? I would love that.

• 41:39Mary Beth Barone?

  I think they probably could and I'm excited.

• 41:41Benito Skinner?

  I'm sure, I'm sure your ex would have plenty of notes for my little impression.

• 41:44Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm sure he would.

• 41:45Benito Skinner?

  This is just me. I haven't even, I don't even have the source material to re-watch and make it perfect, but you know.

• 41:50Mary Beth Barone?

  It's just, it's, you're working on it.

• 41:52Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 41:53Mary Beth Barone?

  I also want to mention Galaxy Brain, the digital album comes out on August 19th. Stream it, make a playlist with it.

• 42:00Benito Skinner?

  Have sex to it.

• 42:00Mary Beth Barone?

  Do whatever, have sex to it. I don't, whatever you want, however you wanna like.

• 42:04Benito Skinner?

  Wait, a picture riding a guy and you're, the big punchline's about to come?

• 42:08Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah. Yeah.

• 42:10Benito Skinner?

  You know what I mean?

• 42:10Mary Beth Barone?

  And then see how hard you can make him bust.

• 42:12Benito Skinner?

  Yeah. This feels like Euro summer.

• 42:17Mary Beth Barone?

  Should we flirt?

• 42:18Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 42:20Mary Beth Barone?

  Hi.

• 42:21Benito Skinner?

  Hi.

• 42:21Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm Mary Beth.

• 42:22Benito Skinner?

  Benny. Ooh.

• 42:24Mary Beth Barone?

  Oh.

• 42:24Benito Skinner?

  Sorry. I'm like, I get little.

• 42:28Mary Beth Barone?

  I actually can't. Sorry.

• 42:30Benito Skinner?

  I got a boner.

• 42:32Mary Beth Barone?

  I really like your hair. I love your hair.

• 42:35Benito Skinner?

  Really?

• 42:37Benito Skinner?

  Things, it was, yeah, I'm not a natural blonde, so I just want to say that off the bat.

• 42:41Mary Beth Barone?

  I couldn't tell.

• 42:44Benito Skinner?

  What are your bobbies like?

• 42:47Mary Beth Barone?

  They're small. They're small.

• 42:49Benito Skinner?

  I don't, I never really cared about that. And then do this a lot if you're a guy.

• 42:53Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah. Guys need to work on it. Be more charming.

• 43:00Benito Skinner?

  That's perfect.

• 43:01Mary Beth Barone?

  Yeah, it's really good.

• 43:02Benito Skinner?

  I think that's great.

• 43:04Mary Beth Barone?

  I ride for Midnight Sun. I'm so happy that I have so many gamen around me.

• 43:08Benito Skinner?

  Look how red you got me. Oh my god. It's like you know when I'm getting feisty.

• 43:12Mary Beth Barone?

  It's, what can I say?

• 43:14Benito Skinner?

  This polo might be a little tight.

• 43:16Mary Beth Barone?

  No, I think it's good. It's the right size.

• 43:17Benito Skinner?

  Thanks, mama.

• 43:18Mary Beth Barone?

  I love Midnight Sun. I could, I, I think we listen to it at least once a day.

• 43:23Benito Skinner?

  We do. I just, I can't not. And like the remix, it's like, right when I, maybe it was out of my rotation every single day, then she comes out with Girl's Trip and it's like.

• 43:31Mary Beth Barone?

  It's back.

• 43:32Benito Skinner?

  Now I get to hear Tyler saying, piping hot, I make him sweat without a sauna.

• 43:40Benito Skinner?

  If sexy is a crime, I'm guilty of honor.

• 43:45Benito Skinner?

  This ain't even my prime, I've been a prima donna.

• 43:50Benito Skinner?

  We're so lucky to have women. Can we just treat women well?

• 43:53Mary Beth Barone?

  Can we just say?

• 43:54Benito Skinner?

  Thank you. Tyler, Zara, thank you. Oh my god, pink and I love pink pantheries and I just love it all. It's just like, fuck. And I'm so impressed with women that can break through in music and I think it's because when they're true to themselves and they build, to build a world like that is so difficult and I, thank you. It's just, so thanks for writing for it because I know girls can be really hard on each other sometimes.

• 44:17Mary Beth Barone?

  Well, yeah, girls don't like each other. And I'm a guy's girl, so.

• 44:21Benito Skinner?

  Of course, yeah, of course, a little dudette.

• 44:23Mary Beth Barone?

  Really tough.

• 44:23Benito Skinner?

  Because you, you're kind of like, that's your bio, dudette.

• 44:25Mary Beth Barone?

  Dudette. And I go, eh, clink, clink, clink, and I do have a speech about being a guy's girl. So, do you ride for flirting or what?

• 44:33Benito Skinner?

  I, um, well, of course I ride for it. I wrote the book on it.

• 44:37Mary Beth Barone?

  Romanticize your life, flirt with whoever.

• 44:39Benito Skinner?

  Romanticize your life, go to Paris or don't.

• 44:42Mary Beth Barone?

  Never go to Paris.

• 44:43Benito Skinner?

  Yeah.

• 44:44Mary Beth Barone?

  Please.

• 44:44Benito Skinner?

  You are the girl who didn't go to Paris and shouldn't have gone.

• 44:47Mary Beth Barone?

  I'm the girl who went and, and can I just say a testament to the fact that you shouldn't go?

• 44:51Benito Skinner?

  If you ever meet Elsie, you have to tell her.

• 44:53Mary Beth Barone?

  I go, I went, it was bad.

• 44:54Benito Skinner?

  Hey, so I hope you don't feel bad because I went and holy fuck.

• 44:57Mary Beth Barone?

  Hey, so I've been twice and the guys I was dating both times, like, kind of tried to kill me, so.

• 45:02Benito Skinner?

  Yeah, that part.

• 45:04Mary Beth Barone?

  Very sweet.

• 45:05Benito Skinner?

  It's the midnight sun, keep getting out of your eyes. Yeah, I love flirting. Flirting is delicious. Um, I think it's just so fun. I love flirting with women too.

• 45:15Mary Beth Barone?

  It's the spice of life. You do do that a lot.

• 45:17Benito Skinner?

  Shit.

• 45:21Benito Skinner?

  What? But yeah, and I love watching other people do it. I think it's sweet. I love seeing a friend do it. It's a little bit like something you shouldn't see, but it's cute.

• 45:28Mary Beth Barone?

  It's a side of them you don't see a lot.

• 45:29Benito Skinner?

  I know. I'm like, oh my god, look at you go.

• 45:31Mary Beth Barone?

  When they're spinning game.

• 45:32Benito Skinner?

  But I don't, I don't exactly know what I'm doing when I'm doing it. I'm an eye contact person and I'm definitely not a giving you shit.

• 45:38Mary Beth Barone?

  A little touch.

• 45:39Benito Skinner?

  Oh, of course I'm a touch. I'm, if I'm, if I'm doing that.

• 45:44Mary Beth Barone?

  It's on.

• 45:45Benito Skinner?
