0:19 Speaker 01 Hey, can you come pick me up? Yeah, what's wrong? Nothing. Are you sure? Yeah, no, I just need a ride. Oh, my God. So what? I just want to have fun. Start your engine. Tiger.
0:30 Benito Skinner? I'm Benito Skinner.
0:31 Mary Beth Barone? I'm Mary Beth Barone.
0:33 Benito Skinner? And this
0:33 Mary Beth Barone? is
0:34 Benito Skinner? Ride.
0:39 Mary Beth Barone? Welcome back to Ride the Podcast. I'm Mary Beth Barone.
0:42 Benito Skinner? And I'm Benito Skinner. I'm very nervous, so I'm just gonna
0:47 Mary Beth Barone? Cut the cameras.
0:48 Benito Skinner? So
0:48 Mary Beth Barone? Dead ass, cut the cameras.
0:49 Benito Skinner? Dead ass, cut the cameras. So we are actually going to cut cameras for this next part because I just would prefer to never see it on camera or see myself saying these things elsewhere. Hopefully someone just goes and animates it. I can only
1:06 Mary Beth Barone? AI.
1:07 Benito Skinner? Fingers crossed. Come on, I know you can do it.
1:10 Mary Beth Barone? We're all here for you.
1:11 Benito Skinner? Okay, thank you. Terry and I are no longer together. Why is my brain going? They're just people swerving off the road.
1:20 Mary Beth Barone? That's literally what I was just picturing. That's so crazy.
1:22 Benito Skinner? I'm sorry if you
1:23 Mary Beth Barone? I hope they all pulled over.
1:25 Benito Skinner? I hope, yeah, maybe pull over. So I will say that we both just love each other so much and have so much love and respect for each other. And we treated each other with love and respect until the end. So I just want to make that really clear. Over the years, I've seen comments that say, if you break up, I'll stop believing in love or I'll KMS. So I would just strongly urge to not do that.
1:51 Mary Beth Barone? Please.
1:51 Benito Skinner? I think that if us breaking up makes you stop believing in love, I think it should be the opposite because I was with someone so special to me for nine years in a committed relationship with my best friend. We loved and championed each other. We grew up together in so many ways. My whole twenties were with Terry and I feel so Unbelievably lucky to have met him and be a part of his family. I love his family. I love the cousins. So I hope that if anything, you should believe and love because I really had it. And I really feel so lucky to have met him and be around his genius. He is always a friend of this, of this pod. Grandpa Terry forever.
2:31 Mary Beth Barone? Grandpa Terry is eternal.
2:32 Benito Skinner? Grandpa Terry is eternal. This is about 10 seconds in, I guess, which is a little devastating. I will say that some of you clearly started to know something was going on. So if any of you have predictions for the end of the world or the next COVID, I definitely will be paying attention. And yes, I did make him promise that he will never date an actor younger than me. That was my one request and spit shook on it. So I would love a little bit of privacy and respect for both of us. I love Terry, as I said, and his family and everybody. So, yeah.
3:02 Mary Beth Barone? And it's amicable. So we're still riding for Terry.
3:05 Benito Skinner? Of course. And yeah, it's like there's just-
3:08 Mary Beth Barone? He's part of the ride universe forever and always.
3:09 Benito Skinner? Here I go. There's no foul play.
3:11 Mary Beth Barone? No foul play.
3:12 Benito Skinner? It's just literally-
3:13 Mary Beth Barone? No negativity.
3:14 Benito Skinner? Two people who want the best for each other. And I'm so excited to root him on. He sent me such a beautiful text recently and he said that he'll always be rooting for me and I'm always going to be rooting for him and Grandpa Terry forever. And now I'm probably gonna just take a second, maybe cry with my best friend. And then we come back, I guess I'll say, come on, kerplunk or-
3:33 Mary Beth Barone? Something like that.
3:34 Benito Skinner? Something like that.
3:35 Mary Beth Barone? Palette cleanser. Something like a palette cleanser.
3:37 Benito Skinner? Sorry to start this off like this, you guys. Just had to tell the kids.
3:40 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
3:41 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
3:41 Mary Beth Barone? We love you and I'm sorry you're going through it.
3:45 Benito Skinner? You told the wizard where I live.
3:47 Mary Beth Barone? I did. I said, I think it's time to move on.
3:51 Mary Beth Barone? It's time to move on for me.
3:52 Benito Skinner? To get over me. You gotta give-
3:54 Mary Beth Barone? I said Glenn.
3:56 Benito Skinner? Please.
3:57 Mary Beth Barone? Let it go.
3:58 Benito Skinner? God, go to this gay guy instead. Okay, we'll, we'll put the cameras back.
4:02 Mary Beth Barone? How do you feel?
4:04 Benito Skinner? I was very nervous to do that. I feel a little bit like I'm letting the kids down, but I think if if I've learned anything over the past year, it's like that this is a beautiful space for healing and love and friendship and I'm I do it with you by my side, so I'm okay. It's so hard to describe that there's just so much love there, like in every way.
4:24 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
4:24 Benito Skinner? I just, Terry is incredible and a genius and-
4:27 Mary Beth Barone? I mean, he shot the ride cover, all three.
4:29 Benito Skinner? Come on.
4:30 Mary Beth Barone? So.
4:31 Benito Skinner? And we'll probably make him do four.
4:33 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
4:33 Benito Skinner? Just because, yeah.
4:34 Mary Beth Barone? The journey we've taken the baronies on, this is what life is. You're listening to a podcast that is hosted by two people in their 30s. It's a huge time for change.
4:43 Benito Skinner? Yeah, it's kind of like, whoa.
4:45 Mary Beth Barone? Our lives have completely changed since we started this podcast.
4:47 Benito Skinner? Have you guys ever cried in every airport in the world, I ask? Oh, oh, so I also have to shout out something that happened and it kind of makes-
4:54 Mary Beth Barone? Also, I'm struggling with words for this. Like, I don't know what to say other than I love you both so dearly and thank you for parting ways on such good terms where it's like, you know, we can really just ride for both of you into the sunset. I just don't know what to say, so that's why I'm not saying more. I don't want the baronies to be like, why isn't she talking? I'm like, I don't know what to say.
5:16 Benito Skinner? You know what's so funny? I know exactly what your feeling was because it's how I felt when we came back after your dad passed away, because I was like, well, and this is super similar, that it's kind of the exact same grief.
5:25 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, no, it is.
5:26 Benito Skinner? And so my grief is even worse, I'd say, but no, where it's like, it feels like it's the first time, because it's like on camera and you're on mic and it's like, I've talked to you about this a lot.
5:34 Mary Beth Barone? But now it feels real.
5:36 Benito Skinner? It does feel real, which is like why I think I'm a little shaky and a little uncomfortable. But yeah, it's it's very surreal. I had this like really beautiful moment happen where I was in this airport and was like really going, "Dee."
5:50 Mary Beth Barone? We can still have fun.
5:51 Benito Skinner? "Dee, have fun." So, yeah, I was at the airport and I was crying in a corner and I like had full hoodie and like just trying so hard. And this girl came up and I was like, oh, God, like this is so, this is gonna be bad. I feel so bad that she's seen me like this. And she just grabbed my arm and said, "Love you, Benny," and then walked away. It literally makes me wanna cry.
6:11 Mary Beth Barone? That's so sweet. That's a beautiful moment. That's humanity. We need more of that.
6:15 Benito Skinner? I really needed it. It was really sweet. I'm very excited for both of us and for what lies ahead.
6:21 Mary Beth Barone? Great big world out there.
6:22 Benito Skinner? Scary world.
6:23 Mary Beth Barone? We're gonna do it all. So we're both single at the same time.
6:27 Benito Skinner? I'm telling you, you called up this wizard.
6:32 Mary Beth Barone? I didn't call him. He showed up at my house. He showed up at my house earlier this year.
6:37 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
6:38 Mary Beth Barone? My love.
6:38 Benito Skinner? Oh, yeah.
6:39 Mary Beth Barone? I had to get him away from me. For a bit. I said, I just need a fucking break.
6:43 Benito Skinner? You didn't know that he went woo. Came right up into my house.
6:46 Mary Beth Barone? I guess it is spooky season. It's weird, the timing of it all, because I announced my breakup with Edward last year on Halloween episode.
6:52 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
6:52 Mary Beth Barone? And that was around the same time.
6:54 Benito Skinner? When you see what we're being for Halloween, I think you'll know why I maybe did it this week.
6:57 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
6:58 Benito Skinner? It's so weird, too. It's like you have to tell people and the strangeness of that, because it's like, how many brunches can you go to where someone like puts their hands over their mouth? And I'm just like, oh, I can't, I don't know if I can do this anymore. So
7:10 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
7:10 Benito Skinner? Probably pretty soon here. I'm like, what are you even supposed to do at a certain point?
7:13 Mary Beth Barone? Well, you just had.
7:14 Benito Skinner? To a close friend's story?
7:15 Mary Beth Barone? You start a podcast three to four years earlier.
7:17 Benito Skinner? Why do you think we have this?
7:18 Mary Beth Barone? Build an audience.
7:19 Benito Skinner? Why do you think we have this?
7:20 Mary Beth Barone? And then you announce it there. It's the press release.
7:21 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
7:22 Mary Beth Barone? I think people are going to be really stunned. I think it's going to be sad. And any children of divorce that listen to the podcast, like, I'm sorry to re-traumatize you.
7:30 Benito Skinner? Oh, yeah. I mean, we've traumatized a few friends, so, so hope they'll be okay. I will say, yeah, it's funny. Also, people do this thing where they're like, hey, we're not picking sides. And I'm like, well, I didn't think you were, but now that you say that.
7:42 Mary Beth Barone? There's no sides, because it's like, it ended.
7:44 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
7:45 Mary Beth Barone? Like, in a kind way.
7:46 Benito Skinner? Exactly. I'm like, we're good.
7:47 Mary Beth Barone? You, me, and Terry are in a group chat. We're keeping each other abreast of the goings on.
7:52 Benito Skinner? Of course.
7:52 Mary Beth Barone? And so it's like, you know, I texted yesterday just saying, like, can we still talk about this?
7:56 Benito Skinner? Of course.
7:56 Mary Beth Barone? And we can, and that's really cool.
7:58 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
7:58 Mary Beth Barone? So I would say it's reminiscent, if I may, of a little breakup that I went through. Not the most recent one, the one before that.
8:06 Benito Skinner? I mean, yeah, like, me and Eddie Obama are still shooting the shit. He had, someone drew him recently, and I just thought, I need that. And he said, I can arrange. Yeah. Got him a J. Crew sweater. I don't know. It's like, that's just kind of my baby. And we're all.
8:19 Mary Beth Barone? We're just a little dysfunctional little family, and like, we're a little fucked up.
8:22 Benito Skinner? You know that really, that brutal part in Freaky Friday? I don't know why. It's like, this line read kind of just gives me tingles. I never saw Freaky Friday, but I need it on planes.
8:31 Mary Beth Barone? Soon. I sense that it'll be soon.
8:33 Benito Skinner? Missoni for Delta.
8:34 Mary Beth Barone? Delta one. Delta one.
8:36 Benito Skinner? Is Jamie Lee Curtis says, we just had this little unit. You know, when she gives the speech at the end, and it's Lindsay Lohan through her?
8:43 Mary Beth Barone? Sure.
8:43 Benito Skinner? And she, just this little unit. And I just, I think about it.
8:46 Mary Beth Barone? You know what line read I've been thinking about from Lindsay Lohan movie?
8:48 Benito Skinner? What origin?
8:49 Mary Beth Barone? Six pounds, seven ounces? This is how I look at her.
8:53 Benito Skinner? Chessy.
8:53 Mary Beth Barone? I've been dressing in Chessy Core a lot more lately.
8:55 Benito Skinner? You got that Chessy vibe.
8:56 Mary Beth Barone? I kinda love Chessy.
8:58 Benito Skinner? Yeah, cuz Chessy wore a lot of Miu Miu bralettes with an overshirt. You're right. I would say I'm, I love, I mean, Dennis Quaid is definitely a
9:06 Mary Beth Barone? preference.
9:06 Benito Skinner? North star for me, yeah.
9:08 Mary Beth Barone? Not politically.
9:08 Benito Skinner? It's like, what do you even talk about after you talk about a breakup in nine years?
9:11 Mary Beth Barone? I think we shouldn't do anything else for the intro.
9:14 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
9:14 Mary Beth Barone? I just don't think, cuz like, obviously, I have a bunch of amazing things to say.
9:19 Benito Skinner? Well, I think you should. I mean, I just think it's Yeah, I mean, no, I need it. I, I feel like I just did like a stadium tour, as I always do.
9:26 Mary Beth Barone? You just did a Shakespeare monologue to me. That's what that was like.
9:30 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
9:30 Mary Beth Barone? I am big pantomime.
9:32 Benito Skinner? Yeah. I will say one other thing, Carrie, four minutes in. We did think of, obviously out of respect for them and for our nine-year relationship, we're not doing this, but we were like, should we be Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban for Halloween?
9:46 Mary Beth Barone? I didn't even hear that. That's genius.
9:48 Benito Skinner? And we did, yeah, we're, we're not gonna do that out of respect to both of those, those beautiful and long relationships. You know he's Nicole. Come on. Yeah. I would have loved to do Keith's, you know, kinda sideswept bang moment.
10:01 Mary Beth Barone? With the highlights.
10:02 Benito Skinner? And just the height difference. Like, it's kinda perfect.
10:05 Mary Beth Barone? Your guys' Halloween suggestions were almost as unhinged as your merch ideas, by the way.
10:09 Benito Skinner? And what we're actually doing. I mean, they, they came pretty close.
10:12 Mary Beth Barone? Some people did guess it.
10:13 Benito Skinner? Oh, really?
10:14 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, I didn't post those, though.
10:15 Benito Skinner? God damn it.
10:16 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
10:16 Benito Skinner? Only like a couple, though, right? I like to be in it, but not totally in it.
10:19 Mary Beth Barone? Not like so on the nose that everyone. I guess we could talk about this dress that is not my usual silhouette. It's a little baggy.
10:26 Benito Skinner? I wanted to do that.
10:27 Mary Beth Barone? So I just wanna address that it isn't, it's not my usual silhouette. I know what you're thinking.
10:31 Benito Skinner? Daddy, daddy, daddy got it for you.
10:33 Mary Beth Barone? You did. You, you, you took me acne and you said, anything you want.
10:37 Benito Skinner? I don't know. I was just feeling good. I need someone to spoil.
10:40 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, I was in a K-hole last week.
10:42 Benito Skinner? Oh, good. Yeah, yeah. Let's go from that. Yeah, yeah, right into it.
10:45 Mary Beth Barone? Just briefly, yeah, I did that happened. It was scary.
10:48 Benito Skinner? You know, I was in a K-hole once and I was around a bunch of friends and I, I did this bit where I was doing brand deals for each of them. It really killed, actually.
10:55 Mary Beth Barone? I was, I was not in a K-hole, but I was on K at a wedding, obviously.
10:59 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
10:59 Mary Beth Barone? And I was doing this whole dunce bit.
11:01 Benito Skinner? Refitiating.
11:02 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, I was officiating.
11:03 Benito Skinner? Oh, dunce?
11:03 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, and it was also my stomach's growling. I'm so hungry.
11:06 Benito Skinner? Me too.
11:06 Mary Beth Barone? It killed. It totally destroyed. I mean, I was just the clown for these people. Big moment last night when I asked internal monologue, do you see me as a clown or do you see me as a sexual being? And unfortunately, it was the former. Now that we're both single, I posed this question to you. Would you rather date someone who smokes or someone who is a runner?
11:25 Benito Skinner? Smokes, 100%.
11:27 Mary Beth Barone? I just think running is so obnoxious.
11:29 Benito Skinner? You know what? I hate the smell of someone returning from a run.
11:31 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, my God, me too.
11:32 Benito Skinner? Can I say that?
11:33 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
11:34 Benito Skinner? I just think that's a stench that I don't want to be. I don't want to be enraptured in that.
11:40 Mary Beth Barone? No.
11:40 Benito Skinner? But cigs, I'm kind of like, fuck, yeah.
11:41 Mary Beth Barone? Well, also, I think you could convince someone to stop smoking. I don't think you could convince a runner to stop running.
11:46 Benito Skinner? It's in their blood.
11:47 Mary Beth Barone? It's in their blood.
11:48 Benito Skinner? Fully cigarettes are an addiction. But here's the thing. Yeah, I don't, yeah, I don't care. I think it's just like, let her rip, you know? I guess a lot of my choices in TV and song kind of makes sense now.
12:01 Mary Beth Barone? A lot of the shit you've been posting, you know, A Beautiful Mind?
12:06 Benito Skinner? Should we just have sex?
12:08 Mary Beth Barone? Probably. But we have to do it here on camera.
12:12 Benito Skinner? At the bar last night, looking at each other like.
12:14 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah. I will say, no, I won't say.
12:18 Benito Skinner? Please say.
12:19 Mary Beth Barone? I can't, I won't.
12:20 Benito Skinner? Haven't I been through enough?
12:21 Mary Beth Barone? I'm not saying anything. No, I don't want to. I don't want to. But like, welcome to hell.
12:29 Benito Skinner? I do, you know what? Lana Del Rey has this line, it's Kintsugi, obviously.
12:33 Mary Beth Barone? Don't bring her up to me.
12:35 Benito Skinner? I am. Lana Del Rey has this line where she says, I don't trust myself with my heart. And I really, and then she goes, but I have to let it break a little more.
12:44 Mary Beth Barone? What are you writing for this week?
12:46 Benito Skinner? Going nonverbal.
12:48 Mary Beth Barone? Wow, I'm writing for getting bangs in your 30s. Should we get into it? I'm gonna go first.
12:52 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
12:54 Mary Beth Barone? Hey, you guys, I am quite literally in bed right now. It's me, Mary Beth, co-host of Ride the Podcast, Mary Beth Barone. So, yes, I'm in bed and the ads are due and we gotta do them. So, here we go. You've probably seen a million ads for hair growth products and thought, sure, like, that actually works. I did too, until I found out that Nutriful isn't like the rest of them. Nutriful is physician-formulated, clinically-tested, and dermatologists recommend it. It is my favorite hair growth product to talk about when all the lights in my apartment are out and Pinky is at my feet, sleeping. If you're dealing with hair issues like thinning or shedding, but totally feel stuck on what to try next. Ooh, sorry, it just got cozy. I get it. There are so many products out there and it's hard to know which ones are actually gonna do anything.
13:39 Mary Beth Barone? That's why we're telling you to give Nutrafol a closer look. It's not just hype. It's physician formulated, clinically tested, and even recommended by dermatologists.

It seems like everything is connected to your gut microbiome, doesn't it? The fact is, we're learning so much about how the gut microbiome is key to our mental health, immunity, and of course digestion. If you're looking for digestive support, Ritual's got your back, or rather, your biome, with Symbiotic Plus, a three-in-one powerhouse of clinically studied pre, pro, and postbiotics to support a balanced gut microbiome with daily use. Doesn't it feel like you're in bed with me?
15:08 Mary Beth Barone? Isn't that cool? Isn't that tantalizing? So I take probiotics because as you know, I'm a gluten-free and dairy-free girly, and I just think my microbiome is like a little bit finicky, you know? She's fragile. So it's just important to take Ritual every day to help with digestion. And of course, it's of the utmost importance to me that Ritual products contain high-quality, clean ingredients, and that all of Ritual's products are vegan, GMO-free, and tested for heavy metals and common allergens.

16:10 Mary Beth Barone? Guess what I did before I got in my cozy little bed? I took a shower, didn't wash my hair. That's right, I had it up and I had a little headband on to not get my bangs wet. And I used my Osea scrub. The secret to glowing skin starts in the sea. Andaria seaweed is the not-so-secret ingredient in Osea's best-selling Andaria Algae Body Oil. I have the body oil, I use the body wash. I use the body oil occasionally, only when I don't have anything to do later. So it's actually really good for a nighttime shower. Seaweed is a nutrient-dense superfood packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that help replenish the skin's moisture barrier and keep the skin looking healthy. Osea's number one best-selling product makes my skin look and feel silky smooth and soft.
16:54 Mary Beth Barone? Not that anyone's touching it, just me and maybe Benny sometimes. He does often compliment on how smooth my skin is, especially on the buttocks, which is where I use the body scrub. The TikTok-famous Andaria Algae Body Oil is not your typical body oil. It's rich, it's never greasy, and clinically shown to instantly improve skin elasticity. Fast-absorbing with a V, transforms skin to silky soft and unbelievably glowing. Seaweed is packed with vitamins A, C, and E, minerals like iodine, magnesium, and calcium, and free radical fighting antioxidants. It's so interesting. I mean, some people who listen to this podcast probably think I'm annoying and they don't like me, and now they have to hear these ads with just me.

18:02 Mary Beth Barone? Wait, where are we going?
18:03 Benito Skinner? Who cares? Ride!
18:05 Mary Beth Barone? So, obviously, I had bangs in high school. My senior portrait, I have full, full bangs.
18:10 Benito Skinner? So what kind of bangs? Are we like Anne Hathaway, Devil Wears Prada?
18:13 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, Anne Hathaway, Devil Wears Prada. And I might go back to that at some point, but I'm not ready to do that right now.
18:19 Benito Skinner? And the show won't allow it?
18:21 Mary Beth Barone? And the show, I'm under contract.
18:22 Benito Skinner? Very strict.
18:23 Mary Beth Barone? So, I have had bangs as a young person. And I will say, as you could probably guess, doing my hair as a teenager, there was nothing more serious or important in the world than doing my hair. I was the type of person who, if there was a bump in the ponytail, I'm telling my mom, we're redoing it.
18:40 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
18:40 Mary Beth Barone? She gave me blowouts. I've talked about this before, from when I was eight years old, maybe even younger. There's videos of me with full blowouts, just like as a child, a very small person. And I used to straighten my hair every single day in high school.
18:53 Benito Skinner? I was small, I was really tiny.
18:54 Mary Beth Barone? I was tiny. I used to straighten while I was a kid. I would straighten my hair every single night, and then, you know, go over it once in the morning, too. So having bangs, when you have my personality type, it can become a full-time job, it's an obsession.
19:08 Benito Skinner? I can only imagine.
19:09 Mary Beth Barone? It's a fixation in a lot of ways.
19:10 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
19:10 Mary Beth Barone? So what's been really cool about getting bangs in my 30s is like, they don't have to look perfect. Like, I've embraced having bangs in my 30s in this beautiful way, or it's like, sometimes they don't look that good. And I'm like, I just don't care. Like, I don't care, this is me.
19:25 Benito Skinner? Are the bangs in the room with us, by the way?
19:28 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, I don't know.
19:30 Benito Skinner? It's funny, they're like face framing, they kind of give them... They're curtain bangs, which I love, I mean, it's so cool.
19:35 Mary Beth Barone? Which I had curtain bangs in high school for a lot, a lot of my years, and, but I had a side part at the time, so it was like a little different.
19:41 Benito Skinner? Yeah, I chimed in with the, haven't you people ever heard of?
19:44 Mary Beth Barone? Of closing the goddamn door. But my friend texted me the other day, and I just, I want to read the response. Basically, they were like, how's having bangs? And I was like, I'm embracing it as only a person in their 30s could. And like, I've made this choice to make my life a little more complicated. And I, I love it, I'm embracing it, and it's like, it's fun. It's fun to have a little, you know, flair.
20:03 Benito Skinner? They're so cute, can I just say? Can I just, off the bat, say, cutie makes you cute? I love, yeah, I love them on you. I think, for some reason, it really unlocked a latent meester-ness for me. I don't know if Blair ever had that, or if she has them now?
20:18 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
20:19 Benito Skinner? I don't know, it's like, I just think they're so...
20:20 Mary Beth Barone? And that means the world.
20:21 Benito Skinner? They're so cutesy, and there's something about a haircut. Can I just say, had to cut my hair. It was important because it's like, I don't know. It's like Alaska. You know what I mean? It's just like, cut your hair. Fuck her.
20:31 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
20:31 Benito Skinner? So, yeah, I think there's something very freeing also of being, of finding the beauty in the imperfections.
20:39 Mary Beth Barone? Exactly.
20:40 Benito Skinner? But I don't think, I mean, I think they always look really fucking good. Yeah.
20:44 Mary Beth Barone? I mean, sometimes they look a little messy or like, you know, they're like.
20:47 Benito Skinner? Oh, were you just quoting Eternal Sunshine? Because that is a dangerous album of legislation.
20:52 Mary Beth Barone? Speaking of which.
20:53 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
20:54 Mary Beth Barone? I'm in my video vixen era. I was asked by a 22 year old Australian artist who's six foot five to play his love interest in a movie, in a music video, and I had to say yes. I had no choice.
21:05 Benito Skinner? It's a movie.
21:07 Mary Beth Barone? He is a total doll and I actually asked him to send me a voice note of what he writes for. And I said, you have to say Audio Jungle at the end. I haven't heard this. I don't know how long it's gonna be.
21:14 Benito Skinner? It's gonna be Australian accent.
21:15 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, you ready?
21:16 Benito Skinner? I'm just preparing.
21:17 Speaker 04 Hello, Ride listeners and hosts. This is Rul speaking. Hello, Mary Beth and Benny. Thank you so much for featuring me on this episode. I'm very honored. Think of this as almost like an audition to become a real guest one day. I'm gonna give you my little micro ride of the day, which is bad posture. I love bad posture. I think it is way more comfy than good posture. I think we were told to have good posture as if, you know, it's like this terrible thing that our back's gonna break and we're all that. And I might be coming from a place of privilege in terms of youth. And not saying you guys wouldn't feel that too. I know you guys are like super young as well, like hell yeah. But yeah, I just feel like I'm not gonna feel the effects of it.
21:58 Speaker 04 I only feel uncomfortable when I am giving good posture and walking around with good posture. I love slouching. I love having my neck at like a 90 degree angle at my phone when I'm walking around.
22:11 Benito Skinner? Yeah, of course.
22:13 Speaker 04 Where it wants to be. I think humans have to adapt and this is now what we're adapting to. It's like a notion of like, you know, the.
22:20 Benito Skinner? Imagine this is 20 minutes.
22:21 Mary Beth Barone? He said I could cut some, but I don't know how long it is.
22:23 Speaker 04 I think that's.
22:24 Mary Beth Barone? I have no idea when it's coming.
22:24 Benito Skinner? I'm loving it.
22:25 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
22:26 Speaker 04 I also think people who have good posture are walking around. I don't like the look of them. I think they're looking a little bit too, you know. Big for their boots, a little like, "Look at me, all goody-two-shoes, my good tosh posture." I think that is unattractive, personally.
22:42 Benito Skinner? Shots got right at me.
22:43 Speaker 04 So yeah, that's what I think about good posture.
22:46 Benito Skinner? Posture.
22:47 Speaker 04 Bad posture. I ride for bad posture. Thank you, guys, for having me. I love both of you. Bye, Benny and Beth. Goodbye, ride listeners.
22:55 Speaker 04 I guess, I'm gonna use podcast.
22:57 Benito Skinner? Yeah, good. Of course.
22:59 Mary Beth Barone? He was supposed to say, "Send me audio jungle." I said, "You have to say audio jungle at the end."
23:04 Benito Skinner? Scream at him.
23:05 Mary Beth Barone? So, that is a perfect ride.
23:07 Benito Skinner? I think that's as good as they get, because you know what? It's not something I would have ever thought of, but I so get that.
23:13 Mary Beth Barone? Totally.
23:13 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
23:14 Mary Beth Barone? I obviously have amazing posture. It's sort of one of my defining features.
23:18 Benito Skinner? I agree.
23:18 Mary Beth Barone? But I have back, I have shoulder problems and neck problems.
23:21 Benito Skinner? You, when you whip out the strap.
23:22 Mary Beth Barone? The strap, the posture strap that is.
23:24 Benito Skinner? I don't care if it's a strap. I said, "Nut in me."
23:26 Mary Beth Barone? I said, "Nut in me." So, that's the type of memes Benny's been sending me since he became single. It is a tweet that someone tweeted, "I don't care if it's a strap, nut in me." And I get that. I wake up to that, because, you know, time difference, and I'm thinking.
23:38 Benito Skinner? I just, if I see something that's fucking insane, I have to send it to you, because it's like, "How am I supposed to see this alone?"
23:45 Mary Beth Barone? No, I know. So, bad posture, I think it's really powerful, and it sort of goes into the whole idea of ride, which is like, "Live life out loud, have fun, do what you want to do."
23:53 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
23:53 Mary Beth Barone? Rule is a total doll, but we were gonna start Fake Beef. I was like, "Oh, we should start Fake Beef before the video comes out." And he goes, "Yeah, what should it be about? Like, physical characteristics?" And I was like, "No."
24:04 Benito Skinner? I'd never said that.
24:05 Mary Beth Barone? No, not that. Why did your mind go there?
24:07 Benito Skinner? The actress who said, "I like the lines on your face."
24:09 Mary Beth Barone? I like them. Keep them.
24:11 Benito Skinner? Me too.
24:11 Mary Beth Barone? So, he, "Stream Wild Guess." It is a song about a breakup. It's actually, and one of the reasons I said yes is, it's a very catchy song that I could listen to a thousand times. Boy singers.
24:21 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
24:21 Mary Beth Barone? There is some music I don't think boys should be allowed to listen to. I wanted to say that. And also, there are some boy singers that have rights. Rule being one of them. R U E L, Voice of an Angel. He's the only one for right now.
24:33 Benito Skinner? I want him to pick me up.
24:34 Mary Beth Barone? He's gonna be in New York next week.
24:36 Benito Skinner? Oh, I can't wait.
24:36 Mary Beth Barone? For some events, for the launch.
24:38 Benito Skinner? His next video, I'm seeing a gay cat.
24:41 Mary Beth Barone? It's a gay narrative.
24:42 Benito Skinner? How come everyone?
24:43 Mary Beth Barone? "You are beautiful."
24:44 Benito Skinner? How come, how come everyone touched their bird after they watched New Rule video? Is my big question.
24:51 Mary Beth Barone? And your media.
24:52 Benito Skinner? You better fucking flip that.
24:54 Mary Beth Barone? The video is really fun. We play exes who are in a Western together.
24:57 Benito Skinner? Well, you sent me photos. I loved it. And I, can I just say, Rul, thank you so much. You brought my girl back to LA. I got her for a couple of days. She stayed with daddy.
25:04 Mary Beth Barone? I had a mental breakdown, but yeah.
25:06 Benito Skinner? Oh, and I didn't? Girl.
25:08 Mary Beth Barone? We went to horses.
25:09 Benito Skinner? Let's just say season two, I think it's gonna hit you in the balls. I'm very excited. I will say it's been, it's been really. We're going for the jugular. I'm really going for it in every way in the show. I'm so excited about season two. We're in the writers room right now.
25:21 Mary Beth Barone? But it, and, and, and I'm pitching every day in the room, Grace has a nipple piercing. Because I don't want to take it out again. Although this time, I think I could just take it out for this, whatever scene it is, if we show my tits. If I have any sex scenes, if I even have a romantic love interest. If I'm even in it. I mean, if I'm even in it, I'm still re-auditioning. So I just think, yeah, she should have one.
25:41 Benito Skinner? Me and Scott King, the showrunner, we were talking about this joke. If we like somehow found a way to tell you that they did need to see you tape again or something. And I did finally say, she's been through enough and we laughed together.
25:51 Mary Beth Barone? That's fun.
25:52 Benito Skinner? I'm glad we laughed after it.
25:53 Mary Beth Barone? And I wasn't there.
25:55 Benito Skinner? So you were nowhere to be found. It was just the two of us.
25:57 Mary Beth Barone? But it's just good. I think I'm in my music video, like, I would love to be in more. Actually, I don't even want to say that.
26:03 Benito Skinner? No, definitely. This is a platform.
26:04 Mary Beth Barone? No, I don't want to say that.
26:05 Benito Skinner? I announce my breakup, you do that. I mean, it's, well, that's why we have this.
26:08 Mary Beth Barone? To be a video vixen at 34, I think it's really cool.
26:11 Benito Skinner? It's groundbreaking.
26:12 Mary Beth Barone? It's subversive.
26:13 Benito Skinner? It's very subversive.
26:13 Mary Beth Barone? And it's just an honor to be thought of.
26:15 Benito Skinner? If we're shooting shots, I want to be killed by Sabrina, maybe, in a video. I would love to be, what else?
26:22 Mary Beth Barone? Well, you really wanted to be Sally, right?
26:25 Benito Skinner? Roll?
26:27 Mary Beth Barone? Roll?
26:27 Benito Skinner? The role model. I want to come out as Sally dressed as Benson Boone. Don't you think?
26:33 Mary Beth Barone? I, I, I.
26:34 Benito Skinner? With two guns. Sorry, you guys, it's gonna be a little dark for a while. Two guns, I'm just firing them in the air.
26:41 Mary Beth Barone? You in a blue sequined jumpsuit.
26:44 Benito Skinner? Tucked.
26:45 Mary Beth Barone? You have to be tucked.
26:46 Benito Skinner? Well, of course.
26:47 Mary Beth Barone? Well, of course.
26:48 Benito Skinner? Goes without saying.
26:49 Mary Beth Barone? You do a backflip.
26:50 Benito Skinner? Did I ever tell you when I tugged for Halloween one time and I didn't know that you put a sock over your dick before? So then it was just tape on my pubes and I just essentially had to wax at the end of the night.
27:01 Mary Beth Barone? On my pubes. What?
27:03 Benito Skinner? Is that Lord? Is that Virgin?
27:06 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah. Love you.
27:08 Benito Skinner? I love you too. Will anyone love us?
27:10 Mary Beth Barone? I'm not sure.
27:12 Mary Beth Barone? But now that you're single, what you're gonna do is you're gonna do a bunch of stuff that you've wanted to do. Like, for me, it's getting bangs, it's getting my nipple re-pierced, I just got my nails done. It's like, you're gonna just try a bunch of stuff, and some of it is gonna be really fucking painful.
27:24 Benito Skinner? Try everything, try everything.
27:28 Mary Beth Barone? Some of it's gonna be painful.
27:30 Benito Skinner? You have to compliment everything I do today.
27:34 Mary Beth Barone? It was really good.
27:38 Benito Skinner? Try everything. Remember when Shakira, I forgot, this one, Out of Pocket, Shakira was like, "Fuck the Barbie movie, that's just raising pussies." Like, that was kind of their vibe.
27:47 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, cause she was like, "Men should be men."
27:48 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
27:49 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, that's out of pocket, for sure.
27:51 Benito Skinner? Yeah. What do I wanna try?
27:54 Mary Beth Barone? You don't have to know right now.
27:56 Benito Skinner? I found out a lot of things I don't want last night.
27:59 Mary Beth Barone? Last night was a huge learning. It's a lot of lessons and a lot of, like, character building.
28:04 Benito Skinner? I really, I don't think we've ever looked cuter, though. It just felt crazy to me.
28:08 Mary Beth Barone? Can I just say, can I just say to all the people listening to this, I'm done with character building experiences for the year. If you were brought into my life to help, I don't wanna learn any lessons, I'm good. I'm so good, I'm so fine. I'm so resilient, and I'm really in my power, and like, I've learned so much this year.
28:23 Benito Skinner? We have bangs.
28:24 Mary Beth Barone? I need a break. I really just need a break. So the way that Tonal has positioned this ad for us is talking about the chaos of new mom life.

I'm your mom, and I'm sexual, and I love you. Between juggling the chaos of new mom life, pretending to have it together, and remembering to drink water, the idea of finding time for a workout is hilarious.

31:43 Benito Skinner? Speaking of nonverbal. So this is something that I didn't know existed until, I would say recently, going nonverbal. So I, as a kid, I was like the one where if my mom was like going to the store or something, I'd be like, I'm in the car and I'm just like chatty, you know, I'm chatty Cathy as they call me, you know, all the time. So I love yapping. I love it. I love it when I love it.
32:07 Mary Beth Barone? I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it.
32:10 Benito Skinner? I love it. Oh, my God.
32:13 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, my God. Pop stars sing.
32:15 Benito Skinner? Whoa.
32:16 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, my God, in songs.
32:17 Benito Skinner? Rule, you can clip that, okay?
32:19 Mary Beth Barone? I wonder if he's in Audio Jungle yet.
32:21 Speaker 04 Audio Jungle.
32:23 Mary Beth Barone? I mean.
32:23 Speaker 04 Brought to you by Audio Jungle.
32:26 Benito Skinner? Oh, he did.
32:26 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, he just takes.
32:27 Speaker 04 Just asked me to say Audio Jungle at the end. Audio Jungle.
32:30 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
32:30 Benito Skinner? I will say, he loves, I mean, he stays on the voice note.
32:33 Mary Beth Barone? I mean, he's a star.
32:34 Benito Skinner? Yeah, he's a star. That's awesome.
32:36 Mary Beth Barone? He's a star.
32:37 Benito Skinner? I.
32:38 Mary Beth Barone? You're in the car, you're chatty.
32:40 Benito Skinner? In the car, chatty, telling stories of old, stories of new. I love giving compliments. Love me. Choose me.
32:48 Mary Beth Barone? Pick me.
32:48 Benito Skinner? Pick me. I think if there's not talking, I'm like, this person's sad. I have to help. Or like, I need to fill the space.
32:56 Mary Beth Barone? Fill the space, yeah.
32:56 Benito Skinner? And I do, I have felt that. It's very, you know, overcompensating. I made a whole TV show about it. It's on Prime. If you haven't watched yet, I think at a certain point, there's a hatred of me. So for.
33:05 Mary Beth Barone? It's personal.
33:06 Benito Skinner? It's personal. You've reached the personal point of the program. So here's the thing. No, I'm serious. I'm freaking dead ass hanging out. Watch the goddamn show. But I, I think through it, almost like during the show, I learned the power and the gift of going nonverbal. And I think everyone deserves to give themselves this gift.
33:25 Mary Beth Barone? You can invoke it at any time.
33:27 Benito Skinner? And I think it's why I started to love being at airports or on planes, because it is such a quiet time if you're traveling alone. I'd be like, I'm just blasting Lord. Hammer, obviously.
33:40 Benito Skinner? I'm blasting, I'm blasting Virgin. I'm ripping through airports. I'm eating Shake Shack, laughing. I love laughing after every bite, sobbing and then getting touched. Thank God. But yeah, I started to, I think, see how much it could fill me. And I love being around people too. I love a concert. I love, well, I guess concert is kind of also nonverbal in a way. But you can, and you can do that. But I really learned it on set because Wally, our darling, our darling doll, or my darling baby girl, she is so good at it. She can just be like, I need a sec and I'm just gonna go over here and like be silent for a bit. I started the shoot and I was going to every single lunch with everyone. And I just, we were doing a lot of scenes, hours were long and I was doing like rewrites and I was just kinda like.
34:24 Mary Beth Barone? I mean, you had 10 different jobs.
34:26 Benito Skinner? Yeah, I was like, whoa, fighting with you about your costumes. Just kidding, you were lovely, but I, I, I would say about.
34:33 Mary Beth Barone? Here's the thing on that.
34:35 Benito Skinner? I would say.
34:35 Mary Beth Barone? If I may.
34:37 Benito Skinner? You might not.
34:38 Mary Beth Barone? I'm.
34:39 Benito Skinner? Wait, I wanna remember this. I wanna be a straight boyfriend because it'd be so easy to like treat a woman well.
34:46 Mary Beth Barone? Oh my God, it's the easiest thing in the world.
34:48 Benito Skinner? Would I just tell you I love you?
34:49 Mary Beth Barone? Let me take care of you.
34:50 Benito Skinner? No, I'm like literally like.
34:51 Mary Beth Barone? Will someone let me take care of them?
34:53 Benito Skinner? You wanna be held?
34:53 Mary Beth Barone? No, I'm so fucking done. Cut the cameras again, I'm done.
34:57 Benito Skinner? It's actually not that complicated. I think everyone's complicating all these things too much. It really is as simple as like, I'm just totally gagged for you.
35:04 Mary Beth Barone? Well, you know my new thing. You know my new thing. If a guy, if you're talking to a guy and you go, I just can't tell if you're gagged for me. And just see what they say. Cause if you're not gagged for me, then I really don't wanna have sex with you. Cause what's the point?
35:16 Benito Skinner? Yeah, are you melting?
35:18 Mary Beth Barone? Are you waiting for me to text you?
35:20 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
35:20 Mary Beth Barone? If not, then like, let's just cut the shit. Let's just walk away.
35:23 Benito Skinner? Totally. You want sex with me?
35:27 Mary Beth Barone? Talk to me.
35:27 Benito Skinner? Come talk to me. So, actually don't.
35:31 Mary Beth Barone? But actually don't.
35:32 Benito Skinner? Don't come fucking near me. I texted you, what did I say? I said.
35:36 Benito Skinner? I can't believe God gave me this delicate heart and this huge butt. He laughs.
35:44 Mary Beth Barone? God's a perv.
35:45 Benito Skinner? And it's a he.
35:46 Mary Beth Barone? You know what?
35:47 Benito Skinner? Would you say, what she said, no, you said God is a woman because
35:51 Mary Beth Barone? Oh.
35:51 Benito Skinner? A man would have given you huge tits.
35:52 Mary Beth Barone? Given me huge tits. Well, I think God's a perv. Why do teenagers have big boobs, weirdo? That's so weird.
35:59 Benito Skinner? Dear media, this one has, it's like she, she wants to take every clip for herself.
36:06 Benito Skinner? It's so obvious.
36:06 Mary Beth Barone? Continue.
36:07 Benito Skinner? What was I saying about nonverbal? Oh, okay. So I would eat with everyone. It was just like it at a certain point, it just was like, holy fuck. And then the end of the day would happen and I was like, I can't even really function. And Wally was like, sweetie, go take a nap at lunch. You don't have to eat with everyone. It's okay. No one's gonna be mad at you. I would love if everyone said that to me five times a day. No one's gonna be mad at you.
36:28 Mary Beth Barone? New era alert.
36:29 Benito Skinner? New era alert. I'm, I'm trying to find where I don't need it because I, I've now done the things and I'm like, oh yeah, they aren't mad. Actually, this is me taking care of myself.
36:36 Mary Beth Barone? Didn't give it a second thought.
36:38 Benito Skinner? No. In fact, they don't even fucking miss me in the lunchroom. I come back at the end.
36:42 Mary Beth Barone? Lunchroom.
36:43 Benito Skinner? I'm back, baby. It is silent. Y'all fucking miss me. But wow, I'm really killing for you today.
36:51 Mary Beth Barone? I'm just, I'm letting you have the floor, darling.
36:53 Benito Skinner? I don't want it.
36:54 Mary Beth Barone? I keep interrupting you.
36:55 Benito Skinner? I don't want it. I'm like, oh, I hate taking all this, like you do announcements on here. I don't do that.
36:59 Mary Beth Barone? Someone DM'd me and they go, how do you feel about talking about the state of the world? And Benny's across from me wearing a Prada polo top. And I said, how fucking dare you? I was wearing a Sandy Li dress. You're not even a comment on that.
37:13 Benito Skinner? Was I wearing Prada?
37:14 Mary Beth Barone? So expensive.
37:15 Benito Skinner? Wait, it was vintage.
37:16 Mary Beth Barone? And here's what I want to say on the record, and I'm quoting myself here.
37:19 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
37:20 Mary Beth Barone? I love clothes and I love stuff. I love people more.
37:23 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
37:24 Mary Beth Barone? If you told me I had to give all my designer clothes away and that would like, solve the housing crisis, I would.
37:30 Benito Skinner? Yeah, I would. And then I'd be like.
37:31 Mary Beth Barone? Not an option right now.
37:32 Benito Skinner? But then I'd bargain a little bit because it's like, you don't mean all of it.
37:34 Mary Beth Barone? Well, a couple of things I would mean.
37:35 Benito Skinner? Yeah, come on.
37:36 Mary Beth Barone? I can be a socialist with a Dior bag.
37:39 Benito Skinner? Here it is again, another clip.
37:40 Mary Beth Barone? No, go on.
37:41 Benito Skinner? I'm like, I'm just, I'm like, fuck. But yeah, I, I learned the power of being nonverbal. I felt that it gave me more juice.
37:48 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, you have to refuel sometimes.
37:50 Benito Skinner? You have to refuel, give yourself that time. Sometimes I even say after a long day of work, I'll be like, it's a nonverbal night for me. I'm just gonna watch something.
37:57 Mary Beth Barone? Call Mary Beth.
37:58 Benito Skinner? I'm gonna call Mary Beth.
37:59 Mary Beth Barone? Talk for an hour.
38:00 Benito Skinner? That counts as nonverbal. Do you understand?
38:02 Mary Beth Barone? Yes. I've never understood something more.
38:05 Benito Skinner? Finally, we're on the same page today. You're so jealous that I had my big announcement. These are usually your announcements.
38:10 Mary Beth Barone? I know, I wish I had some, another tragedy to announce on Ride.
38:14 Benito Skinner? Hey, give it time.
38:15 Mary Beth Barone? I'll give it a week or two. Hey, I give it a week.
38:18 Benito Skinner? What's that from?
38:19 Mary Beth Barone? It's a movie or something.
38:20 Benito Skinner? It's a movie.
38:21 Mary Beth Barone? It's pretend.
38:22 Benito Skinner? We kind of always say that now, this podcast. Should we cancel it? You guys tell us.
38:28 Mary Beth Barone? Do you guys even care anymore?
38:30 Benito Skinner? Do you like this?
38:30 Mary Beth Barone? Seriously, do you care? Do we just have to start naming celebrities we have beef with? Is that what the podcast will become? Like, I will, but I don't, I don't want to, but I will.
38:39 Benito Skinner? Yeah, maybe we still have to start having guests.
38:42 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, oh my god, my idea.
38:44 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
38:45 Mary Beth Barone? Which is to have guests, but it's just people I want to hook up with. It's just people I have crushes on.
38:48 Benito Skinner? And that, wait, and then the guests, the guests never know.
38:51 Mary Beth Barone? Abuse of power, abuse of power.
38:52 Benito Skinner? Abuse of power, finally, finally a woman.
38:54 Mary Beth Barone? Come to the studio.
38:55 Benito Skinner? But the, the joy is that all the listeners know, but the guys who are booked never know.
38:59 Mary Beth Barone? Cause they've never heard the podcast.
39:00 Benito Skinner? Yeah, they've never listened.
39:01 Mary Beth Barone? Who should be our first guest?
39:02 Benito Skinner? Hmm.
39:03 Mary Beth Barone? Our first guest, we've had guests.
39:04 Benito Skinner? First guest. God, I don't know.
39:06 Mary Beth Barone? We'll bleep it.
39:06 Benito Skinner? Who do you want on the bench?
39:08 Mary Beth Barone? I'll think about it. I'll check my list of crushes. We'll get my top choice on here.
39:12 Benito Skinner? Okay.
39:14 Mary Beth Barone? People are begging to be, people are begging to be guests on here. I'm like, is that what I have to do to get you to see me as a sexual being? Have you on my podcast?
39:21 Benito Skinner? Isn't that the opposite?
39:22 Mary Beth Barone? That's what you'd think. But yeah, we should start having guests.
39:27 Benito Skinner? But all to say, nonverbal, and this could mean getting in the bath, watching your favorite show, listening to Ride Honestly, let us yap at ya. I think there is so much power in it. Allow yourself, and can I just say to the people pleasers of the world? People pleasers united.
39:43 Mary Beth Barone? Not a real thing.
39:44 Benito Skinner? PPU.
39:45 Mary Beth Barone? People pleasers aren't real.
39:47 Benito Skinner? I think you have an ugly heart. And I think you're jealous.
39:52 Mary Beth Barone? It's just funny, some people that-
39:53 Benito Skinner? You wish you were a gay man, but you're not.
39:55 Mary Beth Barone? Some people who identify as people pleasers are just so not people pleasers that it undermines the entire premise.
40:03 Benito Skinner? I agree, you're not one of us.
40:05 Mary Beth Barone? You're not, so stop pretending.
40:06 Benito Skinner? It's like when Kevin Spacey wanted to be gay. Can I finally say that he smiled at me at an airport?
40:10 Mary Beth Barone? Finally, yeah.
40:10 Benito Skinner? So imagine going through a breakup and Kevin Spacey smiles at you at an airport. Do you have anything to say? Please say it.
40:18 Mary Beth Barone? He's speechless, he's going nonverbal.
40:19 Benito Skinner? I mean, yeah, go nonverbal on this one. I was nonverbal, I just thought-
40:23 Mary Beth Barone? He shouldn't be allowed to fly, he should be on a no-fly list. Do you know how many potential
40:29 Mary Beth Barone? victims are on that flight?
40:35 Benito Skinner? This is our last episode. I really think it might be.
40:39 Mary Beth Barone? We're not kidding.
40:41 Benito Skinner? Yeah, literally.
40:43 Benito Skinner? You wore a mini dress for my breakup.
40:50 Benito Skinner? So that's, and that happened, I texted Mary Beth, they go, so that just happened.
40:54 Mary Beth Barone? I was, I want to do a grid post, it's just a carousel of texts I've gotten from gay guys. I anonymize it.
41:00 Benito Skinner? Except the one for me, you can let her rip.
41:02 Mary Beth Barone? I have to read this text I got from a gay guy the other day, it's gonna rock you. This was really, cracked me up. I said, are you seeing anyone? He goes, I am of course in a toxic situationship with a real estate agent who comes from obscene family wealth. He's partnered, open on some level, but it's a secret. Have feelings, ended it, but started it again. Been going on for a year and a half, are you?
41:24 Benito Skinner? He had that in his notes app.
41:25 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
41:25 Benito Skinner? You know, it's just like.
41:26 Mary Beth Barone? He copied and pasted. He put a keyboard shortcut in.
41:31 Mary Beth Barone? It's been a year and a half.
41:32 Benito Skinner? Okay, did I ever tell you about the prank I did of keyboard shortcuts in college?
41:36 Mary Beth Barone? Tell me right now.
41:37 Benito Skinner? It was my.
41:37 Mary Beth Barone? How have you not told me this?
41:38 Benito Skinner? This is, I'm so excited, this is, this was my best prank of all time. I, in this girl's phone. I just made everything like, thanks, or hi, or goodbye, or night. I made all of it like, just fucking insane shit, like such like.
41:56 Mary Beth Barone? This is genius.
41:57 Benito Skinner? We would do like, this was a friend, so it's, you know, it's not misogynist. Well, she's long gone. We miss her dearly. But we did like, you know, I'm horny, like I, like, I see dead people every time she's like, bye. I just, it was so, and then also every time she said hello, it'd be, have you seen? There was a gayness to everything I did.
42:20 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, of course.
42:21 Benito Skinner? Of course, cuz.
42:22 Mary Beth Barone? Queer coded.
42:22 Benito Skinner? I am. Remember when I accidentally set you up with a 20 year old bisexual?
42:28 Mary Beth Barone? How many times do I have to tell you? We're not talking about-
42:31 Benito Skinner? I'll be single soon. Right out of context for this, actually, can I request we don't do it?
42:37 Mary Beth Barone? Have to. I need it more than I've ever needed anything. Let's get into ride or die.
42:43 Benito Skinner? Oh, wait, you're good on that prank? It was so funny.
42:46 Mary Beth Barone? I love the prank. Don't ever do some shit like that to me, but I think it's fabulous.
42:51 Benito Skinner? Thanks, sweetie.
42:52 Mary Beth Barone? It's just annoying. It's not gonna cause any harm, so I love that.
42:55 Benito Skinner? But it is one of those things where like, it could make you text less. It's like, use your phone less.
42:59 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, you're addicted.
43:00 Benito Skinner? Be in the present.
43:00 Mary Beth Barone? Hey, you have a problem.
43:01 Benito Skinner? Hey, be in the present.
43:02 Mary Beth Barone? It's part of your treatment program.
43:03 Benito Skinner? Yeah. You know what you are, Mary Beth?
43:05 Mary Beth Barone? Bisexual?
43:06 Benito Skinner? Well, yeah. But you're also my ride or die. Ride or die.
43:11 Mary Beth Barone? So I think going nonverbal is so powerful and I do it. I think comfortable silence, as we've talked about in previous episodes. It's like, sometimes you can go nonverbal even around people and that can be really powerful.
43:21 Benito Skinner? Yeah, dissociate at the table.
43:22 Mary Beth Barone? Like when we're in the car, we're listening to music, we're just nonverbal. We're just like enjoying, like, existing for a little bit. Not thinking about the state of the world and how scary it is right now.
43:30 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
43:31 Mary Beth Barone? Maybe you're just like, you're just thinking about happy thoughts.
43:34 Benito Skinner? Thank you, sweetie. I think you've taught me as well. You know, we can just lay and have Pinky lick the inside of my mouth and that's the only sound.
43:41 Mary Beth Barone? And being quiet. So much power. And in fact, your silence is defining. It's defining. Speaks volumes.
43:49 Benito Skinner? You might be complicit. So for me, getting bangs in your 30s, I think it's the total energy right now. Next time I wanna cut them for you. I think I could cut a good bang.
44:01 Mary Beth Barone? Totally.
44:01 Benito Skinner? I could bang you up.
44:02 Mary Beth Barone? Hide the scissors.
44:03 Benito Skinner? You know, I love those ones that Courtney Cox has in Scream 3. They're like up to her temple.
44:08 Mary Beth Barone? So I could never do some shit like that, but I think it's cool that people can. And they do.
44:12 Benito Skinner? I think you'd kill. I think you'd be really good with the Dakota Johnson.
44:15 Mary Beth Barone? I know, I'm thinking about it.
44:16 Benito Skinner? Is it annoying though? Like, do your eyes feel like tickled all day?
44:19 Mary Beth Barone? No.
44:20 Benito Skinner? They don't feel tickled?
44:21 Mary Beth Barone? No, if anything, it's nice to be touched.
44:24 Benito Skinner? Yeah. That's, yeah. That's what I said to the baron who came up and touched my arm. It's just nice to be touched. I'm sobbing. She's like, fucking freak.
44:32 Mary Beth Barone? She goes, okay.
44:35 Benito Skinner? So I ride for it. How could I not? I'm so proud of you for doing it. When you sent me the first photo, I gasped. It really like woke me up.
44:44 Mary Beth Barone? I had a Burberry event that night.
44:45 Benito Skinner? I know you, yeah. Well, of course, I could tell you what you were wearing. Like, I know everything that you do and say and have lived and think. Yeah. So, but yeah, what a great example for the, the baronies. Like, go out there. Also, I think, can I just say, yours don't feel like a huge commitment and change? Maybe it's a tiptoe. Let's see how they look before we commit to the whole look.
45:05 Mary Beth Barone? Totally.
45:05 Benito Skinner? Although I think like, fuck it, let it rip. Hair grows.
45:08 Mary Beth Barone? Either or, either or.
45:09 Benito Skinner? I say that, but it's also like a bad haircut could send me into psychosis. So I don't know, you know?
45:16 Mary Beth Barone? Maybe you're full of shit.
45:18 Benito Skinner? So this is the last episode.
45:20 Mary Beth Barone? The penultimate.
45:20 Benito Skinner? I want to thank all of you for, um, just being sweet.
45:24 Mary Beth Barone? Being along for the ride.
45:25 Benito Skinner? And I want to thank my friends.
45:27 Mary Beth Barone? Love you.
45:27 Benito Skinner? Cause I love my friends. I'm, I'm sorry to, to do this.
45:31 Mary Beth Barone? My heart breaks when things end, but I think you're both incredible people.
45:36 Benito Skinner? Thank you, honey.
45:36 Mary Beth Barone? And I just look forward to watching what you guys do next, both in and out of sucking and fucking. Work-wise, too.
45:46 Benito Skinner? Should we say, um, Grandpa Terry forever?
45:49 Mary Beth Barone? Grandpa Terry forever.
45:54 Benito Skinner? Oh, my exit.
45:55 Mary Beth Barone? Benny, babe, eyes on the road. Benny, go!
