0:19 Mary Beth Barone? Hey, can you come pick me up? Yeah, what's wrong? Nothing. Are you sure? Yeah, no, I just need a ride. Ride, ride. Oh, my God. So what? I just want to have fun. Start your engine. Take that.
0:30 Benito Skinner? I'm Benito Skinner.
0:31 Mary Beth Barone? I'm Mary Beth Brown.
0:33 Benito Skinner? And this
0:33 Mary Beth Barone? is
0:34 Benito Skinner? Ride.
0:38 Mary Beth Barone? Had a lot on our minds this morning.
0:39 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
0:41 Mary Beth Barone? Thank you.
0:42 Benito Skinner? Adore you.
0:47 Benito Skinner? Include all this.
0:49 Mary Beth Barone? We find ourselves in a new studio.
0:53 Mary Beth Barone? Where we are, we'll never tell.
0:54 Benito Skinner? Can they hear?
0:56 Mary Beth Barone? Who? Probably.
0:57 Benito Skinner? Sweetie, I love him. If you're listening, I love you. But here's the thing, I did say that there would be ferns.
1:03 Mary Beth Barone? You said ferns.
1:04 Benito Skinner? And succulents.
1:05 Mary Beth Barone? You said hanging plants and greenery. And you said the walls would be paneled, and you were not wrong.
1:10 Benito Skinner? I could see this being Jackson Pollock soon.
1:16 Benito Skinner? But the one thing they don't have is a purple light. I will
1:19 Mary Beth Barone? You did say purple light, which is not here.
1:21 Benito Skinner? I will make the perfect podcast studio one day. And this is actually, this is perfect. I will say, as someone who used to steal a lot of images from Shutterstock for the backgrounds of sketches, this would have been exactly what I would have used.
1:37 Mary Beth Barone? For a fake podcast.
1:37 Benito Skinner? For a fake podcast studio.
1:38 Mary Beth Barone? You used to steal images?
1:40 Benito Skinner? I don't know. This is kind of like, this might be industry speak. And I'm going to speak to camera as I say this. But there's like, a big Legal war with like Shutterstock and Getty Images and all of people like taking the images of themselves and posting them on the internet. It's like a whole thing and like makeup artists get in trouble. I don't know, but people keep warning me. They're like, don't post that photo unless, and I'm like, oh, okay. So I keep buying them.
2:09 Mary Beth Barone? You're buying them for like 400 bucks?
2:11 Benito Skinner? No, no, no, I've only bought like one or two, but that feels like I keep buying them.
2:15 Mary Beth Barone? I want to know who's setting the prices for those. They seem astronomical. I would buy a few, maybe if they were like $50, but I'm gonna buy none if they're 500.
2:23 Benito Skinner? Can I just say if I make it big, if I make it to the big time, there's a lot of ugly ones of me. I would love to just wipe.
2:29 Mary Beth Barone? Take down.
2:30 Benito Skinner? Oh my God, I'm not gonna lead anyone to, to the, the watering hole there, but holy shit. I got some zumpery doodles on there.
2:40 Mary Beth Barone? You're really dipping into the archives because the fairy image. This season is all about owning your history.
2:46 Benito Skinner? I know. You have to post a photo of you that's really unfuckable pretty soon here.
2:50 Mary Beth Barone? Me?
2:50 Benito Skinner? You haven't.
2:51 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, I don't, I have plenty. I don't want to post them. I think I can extend the time a little bit.
2:56 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
2:57 Mary Beth Barone? But I will. I just want to set the scene of where we're at today and then.
3:00 Benito Skinner? Sorry, I'm not over these big old Duncan Ice we got.
3:03 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
3:04 Benito Skinner? This is so Serena Carpenter of us.
3:06 Mary Beth Barone? It felt like a return to like the sacred texts.
3:09 Benito Skinner? That's that me espresso. Remember how simple time was when espresso was out?
3:14 Mary Beth Barone? So last year.
3:15 Benito Skinner? Whoa.
3:16 Mary Beth Barone? So you looked at me today and you said, this person started following me from the real of us. And I said, what's the real of us?
3:25 Benito Skinner? They knew, if you guys knew who we were talking about.
3:29 Mary Beth Barone? You guys, so I'm thinking the real of us starring truth creep coming to NBC this fall. It sounds like, it sounds like a show title that was just a little bit off because AI wrote it. So it's a show called The Real Of Us and it's just about family. It's about friends.
3:44 Benito Skinner? It's about when they stop being polite and they start getting real.
3:47 Mary Beth Barone? The real of us. So that's where my brain's at. I just wanted to say that. And now I'm going to read some journalism that you have been sending me and my sister Vicky has been. She really likes to send me stuff when she thinks of me.
3:58 Benito Skinner? Well, I just don't want too many, I don't want the library to get too full. There's so much, there's so much backlog.
4:03 Mary Beth Barone? I know, and I, I chose some really good ones.
4:05 Benito Skinner? Sorry.
4:06 Mary Beth Barone? Hulu's All Virgin's Dating Show is coming soon.
4:10 Benito Skinner? Okay.
4:11 Mary Beth Barone? So, yeah, that's. Uh, so.
4:14 Benito Skinner? So, that just happened. So Lana Del Rey's next album, Coated, the name of it.
4:20 Mary Beth Barone? What is it?
4:20 Benito Skinner? Say it again.
4:21 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, shit. Hulu's new all-virgin dating show is coming soon.
4:25 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
4:26 Mary Beth Barone? Harry Styles helps a fan parallel park in Rome. Spoiler, it doesn't go great. And helps is in quotes.
4:32 Benito Skinner? Me, Coated. There was another one I almost sent you where it was like, he came out with the sex toys for his brand pleasing. It's kind of goop speak. But they're like, yeah, so it looks like we got a vibrator before we got the record. Harry, you're on notice, but thanks. You know, some like thing like that.
4:48 Mary Beth Barone? That's millennial journalism. That's your character.
4:51 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
4:51 Mary Beth Barone? You won't believe how many.
4:55 Benito Skinner? Yes? How would you say that?
4:57 Mary Beth Barone? You won't believe how many people these celebs have had sex with.
5:01 Benito Skinner? It's you.
5:01 Mary Beth Barone? It's me. Body count through the roof. Oh, and this brings us to.
5:05 Benito Skinner? Remember when we had to do body counts with the cast? Someone made us do body counts with the cast.
5:09 Mary Beth Barone? I don't remember that. It wasn't me. I didn't make us do that.
5:13 Benito Skinner? You.
5:17 Mary Beth Barone? I don't remember that.
5:19 Benito Skinner? I'm clapping because it's revisionist history. History.
5:22 Mary Beth Barone? I always clap for revisionists.
5:24 Benito Skinner? You don't remember at Coachella, Miss Little Mushrooms? You were doing cartwheels, my love.
5:28 Mary Beth Barone? I didn't do mushrooms.
5:29 Benito Skinner? Well, someone did, and then someone, you literally sat down, Chris Gras applesauce, freshly dumped.
5:35 Mary Beth Barone? I was probably, I was probably joking. God.
5:39 Benito Skinner? And you go, should we say our body counts?
5:41 Mary Beth Barone? That was a joke.
5:42 Benito Skinner? But you can't say, straight guys, like, they love to be like, haha, you know, we were just at Just for Last.
5:47 Mary Beth Barone? She called my balls Jimmy and Timmy.
5:51 Mary Beth Barone? That's journalism that you sent me.
5:53 Benito Skinner? That's Jojo Siwa and her, and her guy. But yeah, then the whole cast sent their body counts to you.
5:57 Mary Beth Barone? I don't remember any of them.
5:58 Benito Skinner? You never said yours.
5:59 Mary Beth Barone? They couldn't have been scintillating because I don't remember any of them.
6:01 Benito Skinner? Oh, you, you blocked that whole time out of your life. You blocked Coachella out.
6:05 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah. I did just recently fuck a 26-year-old and it was really fucking amazing. That's a quote from Charlize Theron.
6:11 Benito Skinner? Uncall her daddy.
6:13 Mary Beth Barone? Okay, that makes sense. Oscar winner, I believe.
6:16 Benito Skinner? Of course, for Monster.
6:17 Mary Beth Barone? Andrew Garfield comes face to face with woman who wanted him to smash a laptop on her tits.
6:24 Mary Beth Barone? And I just, I'm amplifying and I'm not adding to.
6:26 Benito Skinner? It's very you of Andrew Garfield's sort of smoldering.
6:30 Mary Beth Barone? Eye contact with red carpet interviewer. A butt plug shaped beer bottle has ignited the gay internet. I actually sent that one to you.
6:37 Benito Skinner? Oh, really? Cause I thought I, cause I screenshotted that.
6:40 Mary Beth Barone? Okay. Sometimes, sometimes if we haven't opened DMs from each other, well, you will see that we sent each other the same exact piece of journalism.
6:47 Benito Skinner? Yeah, and then I've been slightly pedestrian to you lately.
6:50 Mary Beth Barone? I like it though.
6:51 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
6:51 Mary Beth Barone? It's fun.
6:52 Benito Skinner? So pretty. Like I'll say shit like that, so pretty.
6:55 Mary Beth Barone? Hot, hot, hot, have fun tonight, baby. This one is important because we have to talk about her recent deals. In a world of dirty celebrities, Sydney Sweeney capitalizes on being clean.
7:05 Benito Skinner? Good girl. So imagine this, I'm going to an ATM to get cash out. I know you're seeing this vividly.
7:12 Mary Beth Barone? I know why and I'm not gonna say it.
7:14 Benito Skinner? Don't. Wait, why? Do you know why?
7:17 Mary Beth Barone? Housekeeper.
7:18 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
7:18 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah. And I went on a different podcast. I went on a podcast hosted by two straight men and I said, I think we need to remove the taboo of having a housekeeper and of being a housekeeper because it's a fabulous line of work. And I think it's just weird that we are like, everyone's so hush, hush about it. It's like, I love my housekeeper, she's fabulous.
7:37 Benito Skinner? No, and I, it's health privilege in a lot of ways.
7:40 Mary Beth Barone? It's health privilege.
7:41 Benito Skinner? It's clean privilege.
7:41 Mary Beth Barone? But here's the thing, people of all socioeconomic statuses have housekeepers.
7:45 Benito Skinner? I'm sorry, you guys, Benny Drama, she runs dirty.
7:48 Mary Beth Barone? I had to beg you to get one. Can we talk about it? I came to.
7:52 Benito Skinner? Because I just.
7:53 Mary Beth Barone? Tail between my legs and I said, we need to talk.
7:55 Benito Skinner? It's the Bushwick in me.
7:56 Mary Beth Barone? I said, you need to.
7:57 Benito Skinner? Bushwick boy in me where I'm like, I could never, how could I do that? Like.
8:00 Mary Beth Barone? It's just a lot of dust bunnies and clothes.
8:03 Benito Skinner? It's so, I will be the woman who lives in her shoe. Sorry, Jessica.
8:10 Mary Beth Barone? We cannot top quoting Sex and the City right now.
8:13 Benito Skinner? Once I tell the story of walking back from the ATM, we're gonna talk about the fact that I did. Are you a Charlotte?
8:19 Mary Beth Barone? And I want to also say that the scene in Blue Crush, when the football players are so fucking disgusting in their hotel room and the
8:29 Benito Skinner? I love that scene.
8:30 Mary Beth Barone? The surfer, girlie, she takes the dirty condom outside to the beach. She has a tissue, she puts it in a tissue and then puts it in a little trash can she brought with her to teach them a lesson. I think she gets fired after, but all that to say, of course, you have to leave your house in a certain sense of order. Otherwise, it's disrespectful to the housekeeper and that's just how I feel. And you do that and I do that, but I'm sure there's people out there who like, they're not being thoughtful.
8:55 Benito Skinner? Yeah, that reminds me just one more time. So if the trash bins are full outside a house, you can put the
9:05 Mary Beth Barone? Dog shit, yeah.
9:07 Benito Skinner? If they are empty, you are a bad person because someone has to take that back into their house. What is wrong with you? Stop making your critters other people's problems.
9:16 Mary Beth Barone? Totally.
9:17 Benito Skinner? That's my big thing.
9:17 Mary Beth Barone? And I call shit critters too.
9:23 Benito Skinner? I'm talking about the dogs, Ken. I gave you Pinky's overalls today.
9:28 Mary Beth Barone? I know. I can't wait to put them on her.
9:29 Benito Skinner? I will.
9:30 Mary Beth Barone? I miss her so much.
9:31 Benito Skinner? I will melt more than me, probably. I think you love Pinky more than me.
9:35 Mary Beth Barone? Well, you and I FaceTime. Pinky and I can't FaceTime when we're not together because she's a dog.
9:39 Benito Skinner? Okay.
9:40 Mary Beth Barone? She's at camp.
9:41 Benito Skinner? If you ever admit you love her more than me, I will put her down.
9:44 Mary Beth Barone? I believe that.
9:46 Benito Skinner? No, no, she's my baby girl. There are all these images of me taking images of her that you have that you sent me. Yeah, it's just cool to see yourself as a photographer.
9:54 Mary Beth Barone? She's a muse.
9:54 Benito Skinner? Yeah, I'm very like, okay.
9:56 Mary Beth Barone? We've now strayed so far from what we were talking about that I don't even remember how to get the dream within a dream inception. I don't even know where we were.
10:02 Benito Skinner? Are you ready?
10:03 Mary Beth Barone? I'm ready. Cause that's very unlike me to not remember.
10:06 Benito Skinner? I got you, girl.
10:07 Mary Beth Barone? Thanks, sweetie.
10:07 Benito Skinner? It's so hot in here. So I'm walking back from an ATM and I turn to the right because it's Baskin Robbins and I always like to, I'm always curious, the 31 flavors they've got in there. And I love, I love their mint chip.
10:21 Benito Skinner? I love it. Their mint chip is so good. Don't look at me as I say that.
10:25 Mary Beth Barone? I can't eat ice cream, so I don't know. I'm not up on the latest.
10:29 Benito Skinner? Guess who the fuck is looking back at me as I turn with her signature scoop?
10:35 Mary Beth Barone? Her signature scoop?
10:36 Benito Skinner? This is her signature scoop. Miss Sydney.
10:40 Mary Beth Barone? Sydney Mawfucking Sweeney.
10:41 Benito Skinner? Mawfucking Sweeney.
10:42 Mary Beth Barone? I'm looking up her middle name, just so we have it in the bank.
10:44 Benito Skinner? Oh yeah, can we please tell everyone her middle name?
10:46 Mary Beth Barone? I would love to know her middle name. She also just did a collab with American Eagle.
10:51 Benito Skinner? She is the American woman.
10:54 Mary Beth Barone? Totally.
10:54 Benito Skinner? You know what I mean?
10:56 Mary Beth Barone? Well, first of all, her middle name is Bernice, which I definitely didn't see coming.
10:59 Benito Skinner? It is not.
11:00 Mary Beth Barone? It is.
11:01 Benito Skinner? Sydney Bernice Sweeney. You know what I think of when I hear Bernice? Dodgeball. God damn it, Bernice!
11:08 Mary Beth Barone? I think of, there's another like blockbuster comedy that has a Bernice, but I can't think of it. That's just good for me to add, just so everyone can hear that, so that I couldn't think of it.
11:16 Benito Skinner? Every day I'm reminded, that's why we have a podcast and you don't.
11:22 Mary Beth Barone? The faux pas of the year so far, and I, we are gonna do a bestie of the year, we're gonna do a fumble of the year, which I think we all know who's gonna get that. And then faux pas of the year, the Coldplay couple. And we're not gonna say anymore.
11:34 Benito Skinner? Because I think, you know, my hot take on it, tragic.
11:38 Mary Beth Barone? You and Vicky are so on the same page with that.
11:41 Benito Skinner? You know, she's my favorite person. Have we talked about this? So Mary Beth has this, so there's this sister. She, Vicky, I know you're listening. The love I have for this woman, it swells within me in such a way. She was on set and I like, didn't want her to leave. And then literally like, oh, she was at the premiere and she looks so beautiful. Alexander French did her makeup. She's beautiful, far beautiful after. Yeah, literally. Oh my God. My bits lately.
12:11 Mary Beth Barone? They're high concept.
12:13 Benito Skinner? Thank you.
12:14 Mary Beth Barone? That's what I would say.
12:15 Benito Skinner? Thank you.
12:16 Mary Beth Barone? So Alexander French is our makeup artist and Benny has this whole bit with her that all of her Instagram captions should reference being French.
12:24 Benito Skinner? So you know what? Sometimes when you're, you're on a press tour and you've just been, you've been sitting in a makeup chair for so long, for so many months, trying to get people to watch this crazy little gay show on Prime Video.
12:38 Benito Skinner? I, in my head, thought about what if Alexandra French was crashing out on her Instagram? And everything she posted, she, it had to be some like French reference. So it'd be like painted like one of her French girls.
12:54 Mary Beth Barone? Hashtag, I never said I was Alexandra French.
12:58 Benito Skinner? I call this the French Riviera, motherfuckers. And it's like, you know, kind of a bronzy glowy look.
13:03 Mary Beth Barone? Parle mouvre français.
13:05 Benito Skinner? Yeah, vive la France. And it's a red lip.
13:08 Mary Beth Barone? Totally.
13:08 Benito Skinner? Like, it's just everything. But I don't know, I think that was kind of me telling her to build a brand.
13:14 Mary Beth Barone? I don't think she's not taking it seriously.
13:17 Benito Skinner? I agree.
13:17 Mary Beth Barone? I think she's kind of open to her mind and heart to it. Cause it's like, you have to stand out.
13:22 Benito Skinner? Where she's like in the middle of doing your makeup and I'm like running into rooms saying like, "The French Revolution." And she's like.
13:28 Mary Beth Barone? And she's like, okay, I'm doing a winged liner right now. Please stop.
13:31 Benito Skinner? Yeah. Are you recording?
13:34 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
13:34 Benito Skinner? Okay, one, two, three.
13:38 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, I just scared Pinky. Keep this in the ad. By paying rent through Bilt.
13:43 Benito Skinner? The woman wondered who she was.
13:45 Mary Beth Barone? Yes.
13:46 Benito Skinner? The woman wondered what she had gotten herself into.

18:40 Benito Skinner? No, we can't.

18:46 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
18:46 Mary Beth Barone? Because it involves Edward. And so, you started, okay, the cups song, but let's just go way, way back. So, "Up in the Air," starring George Clooney and Anna Kendrick. Don't mix those up. Don't mix those up.
18:57 Benito Skinner? Oh, yeah.
18:58 Mary Beth Barone? One's dairy, one's not. Don't, don't. Anyway, Anna Kendrick is in the movie Pitch Perfect. She does "When I'm Gone" with the cups. The cups.
19:07 Benito Skinner? I gotta take a four on my way around. Two bottles of whiskey. Didn't Halsey sing it?
19:14 Mary Beth Barone? I don't know. I don't know. Probably. But basically, I think Edward was on tour with us and then we had been saying, the three of us shared a hotel room on the road. That's what a lot of people don't realize.
19:26 Benito Skinner? Edward and I showered together, just to be clear, and that's my Lady Jane.
19:29 Mary Beth Barone? That is your Lady Jane. And I think you said, I think you said at one point, like, you guys are gonna miss me when I'm gone.
19:36 Benito Skinner? Well, yeah.
19:37 Mary Beth Barone? And then that started when I'm gone.
19:38 Benito Skinner? Yeah, I think there's some kind of like trauma within me where anytime I'm with someone, I'm like, do you miss me?
19:44 Mary Beth Barone? And we say, yes.
19:45 Benito Skinner? Yeah, but you, you do have a thing about missing me.
19:48 Mary Beth Barone? I do.
19:49 Benito Skinner? You have a whole bit that you tell people.
19:50 Mary Beth Barone? It's called withdrawal, kid.
19:52 Benito Skinner? It's any withdrawal. So you know what? And apparently it affects the masses.
19:55 Mary Beth Barone? It does. It transcends. It's like, it doesn't matter who you are. It can happen to you.
20:01 Benito Skinner? It can hit like a ton of bricks. You think, God, this little fucker.
20:04 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah. So when I'm gone was born and I guess you're gonna have to say.
20:08 Benito Skinner? So we would wake up and the second they would open their eyes, I would go, when I'm gone. When I'm gone. That's it.
20:18 Mary Beth Barone? No, it's not. We need the one I'm gone. Welcome to my island.
20:22 Benito Skinner? It just got in my head and I couldn't stop going, when I'm gone. When I'm gone.
20:28 Mary Beth Barone? What's so funny is that when I haven't, when I haven't heard it.
20:31 Benito Skinner? Why is my brain like this?
20:33 Mary Beth Barone? When I haven't heard it for a while, when I haven't heard it for a while, you go, when I'm gone.
20:42 Benito Skinner? Here's the thing. I just want to audition for American Idol with that.
20:46 Mary Beth Barone? I think you could.
20:47 Benito Skinner? Under the moniker.
20:48 Mary Beth Barone? Wait, remember the one time?
20:49 Benito Skinner? Any drama.
20:50 Mary Beth Barone? We were gonna maybe like do something with American Idol?
20:52 Benito Skinner? Yeah, we were gonna do a fake audition in Santa Barbara, but we were out of town.
20:56 Mary Beth Barone? It fell through.
20:57 Benito Skinner? Yeah, we were on the ride tour. I don't know why these things get stuck in my head. I wish I knew. I'd tell them to stop. But yeah, I guess we're in the when I'm gone era. But yeah, I would love to maybe be in the corner, street cowboy hat on.
21:12 Mary Beth Barone? The naked cowboy in Times Square.
21:14 Benito Skinner? No, in a jockstrap and I go. I got a ticket for the long way around. Two bottles of whiskey and brunch. You're gonna miss me over there. You're gonna miss me in your hair. You're gonna miss me in your chair.
21:28 Mary Beth Barone? Mm hmm.
21:29 Benito Skinner? You're gonna miss me, you're gonna miss me when I'm gone.
21:31 Mary Beth Barone? When I'm gone.
21:32 Benito Skinner? Gone.
21:33 Mary Beth Barone? Okay.
21:33 Benito Skinner? All right, so Guan era has officially kicked off.
21:37 Mary Beth Barone? Kicked off. We're so happy.
21:38 Benito Skinner? I have to break the fourth wall for that.
21:42 Benito Skinner? So today.
21:44 Mary Beth Barone? Allow me to clear my throat.
21:45 Benito Skinner? I'm gonna be writing for something that means the world to me. And this is, of course, unpaid and God, I wish it was paid, you guys.
21:56 Mary Beth Barone? We have to sort of say.
21:57 Benito Skinner? Privilege.
21:58 Mary Beth Barone? Disclaimer, health privilege.
21:59 Benito Skinner? The essence sale.
22:01 Mary Beth Barone? The essence sale. And so I will be writing for panty lines, which there's duality because I also, or did you ride for Going Commando last year, last season? I don't remember if that was me or you, but I am writing for the inverse, which is having panty lines, and I think there's merit to both. There's room for both.
22:19 Benito Skinner? You just gave me a new ride that I'm gonna read.
22:24 Benito Skinner? It's just a voice of a truth. You just give me a truth. Yeah, I wanna do baby voice more.
22:28 Mary Beth Barone? You sound like when in Spy Kids, when they kidnap the spies and they all speak backwards. And what they're saying is, these madmen help us, save us. I watched that recently.
22:36 Benito Skinner? Madmen help us, save us. I was about to say, how the hell do you know that? Well, people ask what my dream roles are, and I go, there's two. Floop and Ripley. So those are the two.
22:47 Mary Beth Barone? Alan Cumming.
22:48 Benito Skinner? Alan Cumming is Floop.
22:56 Benito Skinner? Oh, my God. I'm gonna break this paper studio.
23:00 Mary Beth Barone? Alan Cumming is Floop.
23:01 Benito Skinner? The whole thing comes down.
23:04 Benito Skinner? They reveals we're on a huge soundstage.
23:06 Mary Beth Barone? You know, I'm gonna actually.
23:11 Mary Beth Barone? You know those pranks where someone goes into porta potty and then they build an office? Round it.
23:18 Mary Beth Barone? It's not, but it's a podcast studio.
23:20 Benito Skinner? Feel like this.
23:24 Mary Beth Barone? No, we have to, we have to do a viral stunt where someone goes to take a shit and import a potty. They build a podcast studio around them.
23:34 Benito Skinner? Yeah, 100%.
23:36 Mary Beth Barone? We're, we're recording and we go.
23:37 Benito Skinner? Those are the stunts.
23:38 Mary Beth Barone? We're recording.
23:39 Benito Skinner? Imagine what I'm gonna do when I'm 40. Someone said that to me recently and I went, whoa.
23:43 Mary Beth Barone? They said it about you. Imagine what you're gonna do when you're 40.
23:46 Benito Skinner? Yeah. I was like, I don't even know. Like, what will make me laugh at that point?
23:51 Mary Beth Barone? So wait, what was the thing?
23:52 Benito Skinner? Like, I'll be on a unicycle.
23:53 Mary Beth Barone? What was the thing?
23:55 Benito Skinner? Do you know what I mean?
23:56 Mary Beth Barone? What was the thing?
23:59 Benito Skinner? Oh my God, what was it? Oh, oh, sleeping naked. That's what I wanna ride for at some point.
24:06 Mary Beth Barone? Okay.
24:06 Benito Skinner? Rolling around in the sheets, letting it all hang out.
24:09 Mary Beth Barone? Totally.
24:09 Benito Skinner? I think I've talked about that, cause Dr. Oz, a total crock pot.
24:14 Mary Beth Barone? Crock pot.
24:15 Benito Skinner? Oh, I, what did I just call him?
24:17 Mary Beth Barone? Crock pot.
24:17 Benito Skinner? Yeah, it's hot as fuck in here.
24:19 Mary Beth Barone? I think that's why I'm laughing so hard.
24:21 Benito Skinner? I know.
24:22 Mary Beth Barone? But it's cool. What did he say about sleeping naked?
24:24 Benito Skinner? Well, he said it's good for you. Let it all air out. I don't know if it's good for you in hotels, though.
24:30 Mary Beth Barone? He also tried to sell magic beans. Did you remember that?
24:34 Benito Skinner? Yeah, I've got some in my bag.
24:36 Mary Beth Barone? I'm sure you do.
24:36 Benito Skinner? Oh, the magic beans?
24:37 Mary Beth Barone? You'll try anything for that dermatitis.
24:39 Benito Skinner? Oh, wait, next episode, we're gonna talk about.
24:42 Mary Beth Barone? Hailey Bieber?
24:44 Benito Skinner? No.
24:45 Mary Beth Barone? Okay, she did that whole thing about her dermatitis.
24:47 Benito Skinner? Yeah. And, and I appreciate it, and I appreciate her bringing it to the forefront. The, the things she does for it, don't, they don't work for me, sadly.
24:55 Mary Beth Barone? Sorry.
24:56 Benito Skinner? Have you ever tried everything?
24:58 Mary Beth Barone? That's the one thing I haven't tried. Wait, where are we going?
25:01 Benito Skinner? Who cares? Ride. Let's get into this and sail.
25:06 Mary Beth Barone? You wanna go first?
25:07 Benito Skinner? I think I have to.
25:08 Mary Beth Barone? I'm gonna be clearing my throat. I'm losing my voice right now.
25:12 Benito Skinner? Take it, hey, can I just say? Take a break.
25:15 Mary Beth Barone? From right now? Take a break right now?
25:17 Benito Skinner? Take a little break.
25:18 Mary Beth Barone? Okay.
25:19 Benito Skinner? So, there's this website. And I do, recently, Mary Beth, it was so sweet. She's like, I know you joke about having a shopping addiction, but if you ever actually want to talk about it, we can. And I thought, hmm.
25:33 Mary Beth Barone? It's just because you brought it up a few times, and I didn't know if it was one of those things where you want me to ask about it. So I just was checking in.
25:40 Benito Skinner? Totally, and I'm glad you did. So, I, I do love shopping.
25:44 Mary Beth Barone? And, and by the way, it's no judgment. I, I love shopping too. I celebrate your wins, which are being able to buy stuff. And I think it's fabulous. It's just, you know, you gotta check in on a friend.
25:53 Benito Skinner? It's no bigger win than that. It's like, oh, he can, he can keep buying clothes.
25:57 Mary Beth Barone? Totally. Yay.
25:59 Benito Skinner? Look at my new baby girl. So I go, I don't have a shopping addiction. Look at my new baby girl.
26:03 Mary Beth Barone? There's bags inside that, too.
26:05 Benito Skinner? Well, yeah, there's bags in the bags.
26:06 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
26:07 Benito Skinner? I needed a tote for work.
26:08 Mary Beth Barone? Totally.
26:09 Benito Skinner? So, okay, here's the thing. There's this site, Essence. S-S-E-N-S-E.
26:15 Mary Beth Barone? Many people will be hearing it said out loud for the first time right now, by the way. I didn't know how it was pronounced for a while.
26:21 Benito Skinner? Oh, is it? Yeah, to me, it's Essence, but...
26:24 Mary Beth Barone? It is. This is proper, this is correct.
26:25 Benito Skinner? Okay, this is the, of course, the colloquial...
26:28 Mary Beth Barone? Colloquial, yeah.
26:29 Benito Skinner? This is the colloquial?
26:30 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, colloquial.
26:31 Benito Skinner? The colloquial understanding of Essence. So, okay, so the Essence is this website that has fabulous brands on under menswear. And I do go on it, I would say, every day, just to see...
26:43 Mary Beth Barone? It's social media to you.
26:44 Benito Skinner? It's social media to me, and it's, I, I kind of have these, like, three sites that I go to every day that are kind of like, they're ingrained in me for some reason. It's not even that I like...
26:53 Mary Beth Barone? It's involuntary.
26:54 Benito Skinner? Yeah, so I go to Heist Nabiety, and I still go on Hybeast.
26:57 Mary Beth Barone? Okay.
26:58 Benito Skinner? And then I go to Essence, and I'm just like, I wonder what's new. But, one thing about Essence, I, I keep typing in SS. So I have looked up VSS probably 150 times at this point. So I am on a list.
27:11 Mary Beth Barone? Right.
27:11 Benito Skinner? And every time I look up VSS, I do read about it. I'm kind of like, alright, well, there's the Wikipedia again. It is history.
27:19 Mary Beth Barone? We have to sort of read up on that stuff because it's coming back in a huge way.
27:23 Benito Skinner? Mm-hmm.
27:23 Mary Beth Barone? So...
27:24 Benito Skinner? Well, that's what I'm saying. That's why I'm on the list.
27:25 Mary Beth Barone? Know thine enemy, or something.
27:28 Benito Skinner? Yeah, absolutely. The enemy of my friend is my enemy. What is it?
27:32 Mary Beth Barone? I think so.
27:33 Benito Skinner? That. So, okay, so there's all these fabulous brands. They range from, like, you can get, like, a, a classic, like Nike there, to Ferragamo.
27:42 Mary Beth Barone? Totally.
27:43 Benito Skinner? To.
27:44 Mary Beth Barone? Sandy Liang.
27:44 Benito Skinner? Comme des Garçons.
27:45 Mary Beth Barone? To Vivienne Westwood.
27:47 Benito Skinner? Vivienne, they have a great Vivienne. To Jacqui Mee, to The Row, even if you're feeling absolutely filthy, fucking dirt nasty. Martine Rose, if you want to get a little wink wink.
27:59 Mary Beth Barone? If you want to be a mean gay guy at a party.
28:01 Benito Skinner? Yeah, and sometimes I do, I guess. So I'll venture down there. But something that comes but twice a year, it's the advent calendar, if you will, is the Essence Sale. Everyone knows it, okay? It's the name on everyone's lips.
28:15 Mary Beth Barone? It's the sale heard around the world.
28:17 Benito Skinner? It really is. And it's just incredible. All these fabulous designers are 30, 40, maybe sometimes even 50, and I think it gets up to 70% off by the end, but it comes twice a year. We're in the middle of an Essence Sale right now.
28:31 Mary Beth Barone? Whoa.
28:32 Benito Skinner? So sometimes when people talk to me with attitude, I go, in the middle of an Essence Sale and you're still acting like this?
28:36 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, that's not okay.
28:37 Benito Skinner? I think it does reflect the economy because sometimes like based on how long the sale is, it reflects like that maybe times are tough. And they definitely are right now, and it's scary. But so the sale's been kind of going on almost all year, I would say.
28:49 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah. I have to say one criticism.
28:51 Benito Skinner? Yeah, okay.
28:53 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah. Right, you want me to go right now?
28:54 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
28:55 Mary Beth Barone? They put things on sale, I believe on Essence, different sizes cost different things based on how high demand the size is.
29:03 Benito Skinner? Oh, I didn't know this.
29:04 Mary Beth Barone? So sometimes you'll go on there and like, if it's a popular size, it can be up to like 300.
29:10 Benito Skinner? Sorry, sounds like a woman's problem to me.
29:12 Mary Beth Barone? Literally.
29:13 Benito Skinner? Yeah, I think that's just different. I haven't seen that at all.
29:16 Mary Beth Barone? It's, it's not just on Essence either, it's on other sites too. But I do love the sale. I love the site. One time, I didn't, I wasn't like a member yet or whatever. Emily let me buy something through her account because this was in COVID, because she had access to the even bigger sale. When you're a member, you have an account or whatever.
29:33 Benito Skinner? The private sale. Once you really start to lose yourself to the sale.
29:36 Mary Beth Barone? Sale!
29:43 Benito Skinner? Hey, police. Once I get off hold, my friend's crashing out. I'm losing her.
29:52 Benito Skinner? So.
29:54 Mary Beth Barone? Anyway. Marketing for the essence sale.
29:58 Benito Skinner? That is so.
30:00 Mary Beth Barone? That song is in Fleabag, by the way.
30:02 Benito Skinner? Oh, it really is. I love that she has like metal music when Fleabag comes on. I wonder the reason. I was talking about with JR the other day. Trainer JR.
30:12 Mary Beth Barone? Forty-five minutes in.
30:14 Benito Skinner? Forty-five minutes in JR. So I was like, we were talking about Equinox's branding.
30:20 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, my God. Get stung by a bunch of bees in here, fucker.
30:23 Benito Skinner? No, it's literally like, come on his chest gasoline. New year, new you, cunt. It's like, what? And the photo's like, like, uh, like a gay guy buffing a girl's butt. Like, it's very Tom Ford Gucci. It's like, it's like pubes and then like, why don't you eat it?
30:43 Mary Beth Barone? You fucking stupid fucking piece of shit.
30:45 Benito Skinner? For all those who have the excuse to kill a bee.
30:49 Mary Beth Barone? There was one, there was one advertisement that it was someone covered in bees. And it was like.
30:54 Benito Skinner? Well, that's why bees are hitting us.
30:56 Mary Beth Barone? Get stung.
30:57 Benito Skinner? No, and I'm just picturing the marketing meeting. That's all they're doing. They're going.
31:01 Mary Beth Barone? Well, they're definitely on Coke for sure. That's Coke brain. So it's like bees.
31:09 Benito Skinner? And she's corseted, holding a big weight. And her hair's frizzy and she's overly spray tanned.
31:16 Mary Beth Barone? I love it.
31:17 Benito Skinner? And we zero all fucking clit. All right. So that's the Equinox branding that I wanted to talk about. Essence is different. Essence is more like a dirty closet and an old woman with red lipstick and a fur. The selection is divine. You can have a wish list, which is so cool. It feels like Santa. It's childhood wonder and I love putting things on my wish list. And they have like great returns. You can just really lose yourself to it. And I think sometimes I have to get myself out of it. But I really, essence sale. Some of like everyone's favorite pieces on me have come from them. And I think if you can right now, treat yourself. Cause I know all my girlies deserve something cute.
31:56 Mary Beth Barone? If you can.
31:57 Benito Skinner? It's a great place to get gifts too. I've gotten a lot of your gifts there.
32:00 Mary Beth Barone? Yes.
32:00 Benito Skinner? Phone case. Yeah.
32:02 Mary Beth Barone? If you can, you should treat yourself. If you can't, you can still go on there and window shop, which is just adding things to your wishlist and admiring them. And maybe one day you'd go back and you check if, you know, the sale's on and you can get it for a discounted price. I'm sure there's some type of tie to the economy with the sales stuff, like you said. And I do feel like right now, like, things are so bad and scary and I don't know what to do.
32:25 Benito Skinner? So I don't know what to do but shop. And I said that to you when you brought it up. I was like, well.
32:30 Mary Beth Barone? But shop.
32:36 Benito Skinner? Hey, my friend's being a little off today. Is everyone okay?
32:39 Mary Beth Barone? It's hot. It's stuff being here.
32:40 Benito Skinner? If you're hot, imagine what my low back's doing right now.
32:45 Benito Skinner? So here's the thing. It seems like everything is connected to your gut microbiome. The way that's me at a party in the kitchen.
32:52 Mary Beth Barone? This is what you talk about in LA.
32:54 Benito Skinner? In Carrie's tiny kitchen.
32:56 Mary Beth Barone? It's a kitchenette.
32:57 Benito Skinner? The woman wondered what she had gotten herself into.
33:00 Mary Beth Barone? Fact is, we're learning so much.
33:02 Benito Skinner? So much about, say it with me, about how.
33:05 Mary Beth Barone? How the gut microbiome is key to our mental health. Immunity and of course digestion.
33:13 Benito Skinner? Of course digestion. If you're looking for digestive support, Ritual has got your back, or rather, your biome with Symbiotic Plus, a three-in-one powerhouse, you, critically studied pre-pro and post-biotics to support a balanced gut microbiome with daily use. And I've been taking it. I like, I really have because everyone tells me it's like, it must be a gut thing. Cause I told you I did that allergy test and I'm not allergic to anything.
33:39 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah. And as you know, I take my gut biome really seriously. That's why I'm gluten free and dairy free, except butter. And that's why taking probiotics, which I have been doing since Ritual showed up at my house, has made me feel better. You know what I mean?
33:53 Benito Skinner? Ritual Symbiotic Plus is designed with a delayed-release capsule to help reach the colon, not the stomach, an ideal place for probiotics to survive and grow.
34:03 Mary Beth Barone? One daily pop.
34:05 Benito Skinner? Pop of mint scented for bloat, gut, and regularity support.
34:10 Mary Beth Barone? It's also vegan friendly and formulated without GMO's major allergens, animal products, shady fillers, and artificial colors. Shady fillers.
34:21 Benito Skinner? So get your gut going. Support a balanced gut microbiome with Ritual Symbiotic Plus. Get 25% off your first month at ritual.com/ride. That's ritual.com/ride for 25% off your first month.
34:34 Mary Beth Barone? As a card carrying girl's girl, I have something to tell you. The summer is not only about being sexy, it's about having a better morning after. You heard that right. You might be waking up in your own bed or someone else's. They may or may not have navy blue sheets, lol, that's none of my business. But it doesn't matter because Julie has you covered. The Julie Morning After Pill uses the same trusted gyno recommended ingredient as Plan B to delay ovulation and prevent pregnancy when taken up to three days after unprotected sex. Here's the thing, if there's no egg, there's no fertilization. And a lot of you, and maybe most likely definitely your boyfriends, probably don't even know that. And if there's no fertilization, there's no pregnancy. It's literally science. The earlier you use it, the better it works.
35:18 Mary Beth Barone? And when you need it, Julie should be your Plan A because it's more affordable than the leading competitor. Think of the savings as another drink on Julie. And the best part is that it's so easy to use. All it takes is one pill and you're ready to get on with your life. The Morning After Pill cannot end an existing pregnancy and it won't affect future fertility whatsoever. I say this as I'm alone in my apartment with my Invisalign in. Girls, girls everywhere can find Julie at CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Target, Amazon, all my favorite stores, and GoPuff across all 50 states. No age restrictions and no ID required ever. I love this company. I love the product. I think we need to get this into more people's hands. And you know what? It's good to just have it, just in case.
35:59 Mary Beth Barone? And if you have a roommate, like maybe you don't have sex that could create a child, but maybe your roommate does. And hey, it's nice to be thought of. I am hot and guess what I have right now?
36:10 Benito Skinner? What?
36:10 Mary Beth Barone? Panty lines.
36:12 Benito Skinner? Let's get into it. I love, can I just say I love when I see your panties?
36:16 Mary Beth Barone? So, something interesting about being blonde was that I was compelled-
36:20 Benito Skinner? I love when you just ignore me.
36:21 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, I have to sometimes. I learned that from Terry. Because you used to do your looping at me and you wouldn't stop until I repeated it back to you. And then Terry would say, "Stop doing that, you're encouraging him."
36:31 Benito Skinner? No, you go, "You just have to do it," and then-
36:32 Mary Beth Barone? I, that's my approach. We have a different good cop, bad cop approach.
36:36 Benito Skinner? But, sorry, here's the thing, you just have to do it and then I'll stop.
36:39 Mary Beth Barone? ACAB, obviously, we're not allowed to say good cop, bad cop anymore.
36:42 Benito Skinner? Oh, really?
36:43 Mary Beth Barone? No, I'm just kidding.
36:43 Benito Skinner? Because they're all bad?
36:44 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, I guess.
36:45 Benito Skinner? Except the lesbian who came to-
36:47 Mary Beth Barone? Ride live.
36:48 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
36:48 Mary Beth Barone? So, when I was blonde, I felt compelled to wear thongs more. I don't know why, it was just-
36:54 Benito Skinner? I do.
36:55 Mary Beth Barone? Okay.
36:55 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
36:56 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, I guess it's psychological or whatever, but-
36:59 Benito Skinner? You on set every day?
37:00 Mary Beth Barone? See?
37:01 Benito Skinner? No panty line.
37:02 Mary Beth Barone? I would snap it.
37:03 Benito Skinner? We're like, "Okay."
37:04 Mary Beth Barone? Okay.
37:04 Benito Skinner? Crafty's like, "All right, do you, do you want on the butter?"
37:07 Mary Beth Barone? Do you want a sandwich?
37:08 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
37:09 Mary Beth Barone? I really just think panty lines can be so scintillating, they can be so sexual to just see in the pant or the skirt or the dress. And, by the way, in the Maryland dress that I wore at going to the Yorkville Whole Foods-
37:21 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
37:22 Mary Beth Barone? I used to be like, "It's kind of satin-y material," so I was like, "I don't want panty lines." But now I actually like a full panty line. I'm wearing a full Everlane brief with them, like the, or the bikini brief thing.
37:31 Benito Skinner? Well, yeah, especially after you showed-
37:33 Mary Beth Barone? Especially after I showed the kitties. So, I just think like, it can be really sexy to like, play up the panty lines. I think there's a huge, obviously, trend right now of sheer dresses, which you can get, I'm sure, in the Essence sale.
37:45 Benito Skinner? Oh, you type in sheer?
37:46 Mary Beth Barone? Sheer.
37:47 Benito Skinner? You're gonna be scrolling for a while, sister.
37:48 Mary Beth Barone? A lot, 12 pages. And so, I just like that you can make the underwear part of the outfit and it's an accessory and it adds dimension, adds texture and adds shape.
37:56 Benito Skinner? I think so too. I, you know, recently, I saw our friend Imogene. And she, Imogene, if you're listening, hi darling, this is her first, this is her debut, I would say, on the pod. But she was wearing these little black shorts and she had a full knee on, like, can I say, hanky panky?
38:13 Mary Beth Barone? Yes, and you can.
38:14 Benito Skinner? Would that be so okay if I said-
38:15 Mary Beth Barone? Respect indicator, hanky panky have never been more expensive.
38:18 Benito Skinner? Oh, really?
38:19 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah. They were, they're, the prices are skyrocketing.
38:21 Benito Skinner? I have to say, there's, you want to talk about texture, they're very lace, like, I would love to, do they make men's?
38:26 Mary Beth Barone? Uh, we'll find out.
38:27 Benito Skinner? You guys make men's?
38:29 Mary Beth Barone? We'll see.
38:29 Benito Skinner? Me and the hanky panky department?
38:31 Mary Beth Barone? Department.
38:31 Benito Skinner? Get out of here, pervert.
38:32 Mary Beth Barone? In their office.
38:33 Benito Skinner? Get out of here. I also love a panty line lately. I've been showing off my panty line.
38:37 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
38:38 Benito Skinner? The other day, though, I had this outfit planned and accidentally I was wearing Pride underwear. And I say accidentally because it's like, do I want my panty line to say this is love? Not necessarily.
38:48 Mary Beth Barone? Not every day. I'm sure some days you do.
38:50 Benito Skinner? And some days it is love, period.
38:52 Mary Beth Barone? It can be something you see because of how the clothes like rest on the body. Or it can be something that you pull out and you make it like a whole feature of the outfit.
38:59 Benito Skinner? That to me, I'm just like, oh. And when I saw Imogene wearing these neon panties, I was like, that must be so hot.
39:05 Mary Beth Barone? It's so cool.
39:06 Benito Skinner? To straight guys, but maybe it's not. Like, I had this thought because someone I was talking, when I was on Are You a Charlotte? Which, oh my God, Kristin Davis. I am so.
39:18 Mary Beth Barone? Queen ship.
39:19 Benito Skinner? I am so obsessed with this woman.
39:20 Mary Beth Barone? We may not have her on.
39:21 Benito Skinner? We have to. I think it should just be her randomly. She just pops up one day.
39:24 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
39:25 Benito Skinner? I, I literally, I want her, if we get to do season two, she has to be it. But we were talking a lot about in Sex and the City, like, the concept of what we think is sexy to people? And what we think is like us being sexy is like usually never what the person who's having sex with us thinks is sexy. Like, I.
39:44 Mary Beth Barone? Especially if it's straight guys.
39:45 Benito Skinner? Like, if someone says I'm hot, I'm like, oh, well, that's, I feel fucking disgusting right now.
39:50 Mary Beth Barone? Well, everyone's obsessed with you as stubble. And I feel like that's not something that you would have.
39:54 Benito Skinner? You were gonna talk about this.
39:55 Mary Beth Barone? Of course, dude.
39:56 Benito Skinner? I, do I have a little today?
39:57 Mary Beth Barone? You do, and the girls are gonna go crazy.
39:59 Benito Skinner? Ah, it's honestly, it has nothing more to do than I just think shaving's irritating the fuck out of my face. But maybe I'm, I have this thought that maybe I'm gonna do mustache. But will that be gross?
40:09 Mary Beth Barone? No, I mean, let's just try it. Let's just see.
40:12 Benito Skinner? What if you become attracted to your best friend and we go into this whole thing? It's very uncomfortable.
40:16 Mary Beth Barone? crazier things have happened.
40:18 Benito Skinner? Where you start to get giddy before you see me. You start to get nervous in here.
40:22 Mary Beth Barone? Remember the table read? When I showed up to the table read where we're compensating? I literally, I was like this. I had my, I was giggling, I couldn't, I could not keep a straight face. It was so crazy.
40:32 Benito Skinner? It was crazy.
40:33 Mary Beth Barone? It was crazy.
40:33 Benito Skinner? It's like the first time we had met all these people.
40:35 Mary Beth Barone? I know, I was so giddy.
40:37 Benito Skinner? I can't believe I had to like come out again in front of executives.
40:41 Mary Beth Barone? And then the world, later the world.
40:43 Benito Skinner? No.
40:43 Mary Beth Barone? I think neon panty lines are sexy.
40:45 Benito Skinner? The world I can take.
40:46 Mary Beth Barone? I think neon panty lines, wait, when they all went to the gay rave night, Carrie goes to the gay rave night and she's wearing a like dayglow pink bra.
40:54 Benito Skinner? We didn't even talk about the way that she plays with panty.
40:56 Mary Beth Barone? Underwear.
40:57 Benito Skinner? The way that she plays with panty and underwear and Samantha and, oh my god. Oh, well, we have to talk about Alexa Demi and the I am Gia or Gia?
41:06 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah, I don't know.
41:07 Benito Skinner? What is it, Gia? I am Gia, the outfit she wears to the carnival, that kind of like revolutionized everything.
41:12 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, yeah, that I then wore to Drag Is Ass.
41:14 Benito Skinner? Yeah, her look at the premiere of Euphoria with the thong in the back kind of like launched a thousand ships.
41:19 Mary Beth Barone? That's called whale tail. So two things I want to touch on. One is that if your thong is sticking out the back of your pants, it's called whale tail because it makes the shape of a whale tail.
41:26 Benito Skinner? Cool of them to kind of make that deeply unsexual, kind of a Moby Dick reference.
41:30 Mary Beth Barone? But in the 2000s, like you could, you could not have a panty line or you would get arrested, you would get detained. So we were just taught that the shape of a woman's body should have no interruptions. It's like you just need that juicy butt and no, no panty lines, which was a huge pivot from the 80s and 90s with mom jeans and those big panty lines. So I just think it's nice that in the 2020s, we can express ourselves however we want. Some days we wake up and we want to have like a piece of fabric like rubbing against our butthole the whole day and some days we don't.
41:58 Benito Skinner? You can see she's a map of the world.
42:00 Mary Beth Barone? She's a map of the world.
42:02 Benito Skinner? I was thinking about, I, I was on a plane recently.
42:06 Mary Beth Barone? Travel privilege, Mike.
42:07 Benito Skinner? Come on, travel privilege. Come on, travel privilege. Me full brain rot.
42:12 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, I'm crashing out. Hey, so I'm kind of worried. Benny just looked at me and he said, travel privilege. And then started cackling.
42:20 Benito Skinner? He said, come on, travel privilege. I love you so much. There's that hundred watt swile that means the world to me.
42:27 Mary Beth Barone? This has been a really fun recording.
42:29 Benito Skinner? You just needed your bestie. Maybe sometimes all you need is your best, you guys, and a big goblet.
42:35 Mary Beth Barone? Love is all you need.
42:36 Benito Skinner? Okay, so here's the thing. What was I saying?
42:42 Mary Beth Barone? Travel privilege, you're on a plane.
42:43 Benito Skinner? Oh, yeah. And I looked to the left and this woman is watching Devil Wears Prada, which is getting so much buzz, obviously.
42:49 Mary Beth Barone? I watch it almost every time I'm on a plane.
42:50 Benito Skinner? I need to watch it again soon. It's been like, kind of a while, but I watched it every day as a kid. So I really could just give you the full.
42:57 Mary Beth Barone? There, there was an article in the New York Times when the movie came out. And it is, they have scrubbed it from the internet. I remember this headline verbatim. Does Devil Wears Prada Fall Short of Fashion Chic? It is not traceable. They wrote an article saying that the clothes in the movie weren't that good.
43:14 Benito Skinner? Patricia Field, they're so.
43:15 Mary Beth Barone? So good. And actually have gotten even better with time.
43:19 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
43:19 Mary Beth Barone? I have looked everywhere for this article. It doesn't exist. But I know that somebody at New York Times Style wrote that. And like, reveal yourself, because I would love to have a chat.
43:28 Benito Skinner? You know what's so funny? Recently, I was trying to find something to, you know, I, I, I don't think that when someone's going through loss, I don't think that getting them something really nice is off the table. Like, I think people lean flowers, but I was just like, I kind of want my bestie to have shoes. I mean, the floor is yours, if you want.
43:48 Mary Beth Barone? So I sent.
43:49 Benito Skinner? But the background is that before you had sent me that, I was trying to find the jacket that Anne Hathaway wears when she walks in and they go, are you wearing the Chanel boots? The like iconic scene. But she's kind of in this like, long Chanel jacket that has like a crest on it.
44:03 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
44:03 Benito Skinner? And I was like, oh, it feels kind of overcompensating and it's black, so it's appropriate.
44:07 Mary Beth Barone? Totally. So I, I was grieving at my house and I was looking at the RealReal. So the way that you shop Essence, I shop the RealReal. There's so much stuff on there.
44:17 Benito Skinner? You've got me on there.
44:18 Mary Beth Barone? My obsessions tab is always full and I like to keep an eye on stuff.
44:21 Benito Skinner? Do they call it obsessions?
44:22 Mary Beth Barone? They call it obsessions. A little bit. So I had found these Chanel platform sandals and I sent them to you and I go, should I buy these? And then you literally texted me, speaking of giving gifts off-season, and oh my God, it's so my dad-coded. You just go, they'll be there in three days.
44:37 Benito Skinner? Yeah, well, duh. If your bestie sends you a link. Sometimes when people do that, I'm like, I know that you're not doing, you're truly just trying to get what my opinion and I'm like, well, duh. You had to wear Chanel to your dad's memorial service.
44:48 Mary Beth Barone? And I wore Chanel and a light pink Vivienne Westwood dress and it was perfect.
44:52 Benito Skinner? The hat is fabulous.
44:55 Mary Beth Barone? Nice hat.
44:56 Benito Skinner? Nice hat.
44:57 Mary Beth Barone? The hat is fabulous. You're just trying to hurt me.
45:01 Benito Skinner? I got to talk to, I literally got to talk to Kristin Davis about the Prada lipstick skirt, which I was also trying to find for you. Okay, so Devil Wears Prada. I looked to the left and when it's the, you know, the montage at the beginning where it's like, this disgusting hideous woman Anne Hathaway is like brushing her fucking teeth. Ugly frumpy bitch.
45:19 Mary Beth Barone? In an ugly way.
45:20 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
45:21 Mary Beth Barone? I'm listening. I need to pull up something from Reddit.
45:22 Benito Skinner? The models next to her are wearing like full Blair Waldorf, like Asian provocateur. Like full garters and stuff, which I, I thought was so powerful.
45:31 Mary Beth Barone? No, I love that sequence because Anne Hathaway is one of the most beautiful people that's ever lived.
45:39 Benito Skinner? No, like a shocking beauty.
45:41 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
45:42 Benito Skinner? Hollywood's the best.
45:43 Mary Beth Barone? I love Hollywood.
45:44 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
45:45 Mary Beth Barone? Oh, this is so important. Okay. This is on the Reddit and I loved it and it's so apt for this episode. Hi, I'm a new listener and at first I was like, holy crap, whoever's editing this needs to be fired. The way they just keep cutting to the next conversation is insane. And then I heard them on Jake Shane's podcast and that's just how they talk. They literally bounce from topic to topic like that and it's not weird cuts from editing. Oh, I'm obsessed with them. That is my family.
46:09 Benito Skinner? That's so sweet. And yeah, I don't know. This is just what it is. It's like how, I can't believe anyone's brain stays on one thing. That's so, that must be so peaceful. What a great day on earth, but unfortunately.
46:20 Mary Beth Barone? Remember my name is Catherine Hudson and I'm not just one thing from Witness era. I'm a mother.
46:25 Benito Skinner? Can I get a witness?
46:26 Mary Beth Barone? I'm a, and I'm funny and I'm cute.
46:29 Benito Skinner? Will you be my witness?
46:31 Mary Beth Barone? I liked that album for what it's worth.
46:33 Benito Skinner? Me too.
46:34 Mary Beth Barone? Should we get into Ride or Die? You know what you are, Benny?
46:37 Benito Skinner? Hmm, I [BLEEP].
46:38 Mary Beth Barone? Your words, not mine. Babe, you're my ride or die.
46:42 Benito Skinner? Ride or die. What is what? But that's a little of the Easter egg of what's coming in a couple of weeks with my stunt. I have a stunt coming for Mary Beth. Yeah.
46:52 Mary Beth Barone? The song Never Really Over is a dangerous piece of legislation.
46:56 Benito Skinner? Oh, and dear media, clip that.
47:01 Benito Skinner? I ride for panty lines because I want to see them. I want to see.
47:04 Mary Beth Barone? I want to see the butt.
47:05 Benito Skinner? I gotta see what you fucking got under there.
47:08 Mary Beth Barone? Remember in middle school and all the boys were like obsessed with what, what in the butt? I don't even, I think that's from South Park or something. You could never.
47:14 Benito Skinner? I'm gonna ride for South Park at some point, by the way. It's like, it's my little vice. I just think they're incredible.
47:20 Mary Beth Barone? They are, they're fearless.
47:21 Benito Skinner? They're fearless, the latest Trump episode. Like, I have to watch it. I was seeing clips from it. They, they made a season and I'm, I think this is correct, when there were so many school shootings happening, where there was a school shooting in every episode. Like, they are.
47:36 Mary Beth Barone? No one's doing it like them.
47:37 Benito Skinner? The pen is hot.
47:37 Mary Beth Barone? I know.
47:38 Benito Skinner? They're incredible and it just, yeah.
47:41 Mary Beth Barone? That'll be our episode for the Baroni Boyfriends.
47:43 Benito Skinner? Like Lord, the Lord of it all, like that's just, South Park, you kind of don't get better than that. Oh yeah, the Baroni Boyfriends episode, we'll do what, it'll be called what, what in the butt?
47:52 Mary Beth Barone? And I'll ride for, yeah, I'll ride for Fight Club or something.
47:55 Benito Skinner? And we'll bring in just a random straight guy we meet on the street and see what he thinks of us.
47:59 Mary Beth Barone? Totally, I love that.
48:00 Benito Skinner? You know what he's gonna say about you?
48:02 Mary Beth Barone? Why won't she piss on me?
48:04 Benito Skinner? So I, yeah, but I really ride so hard for panty lines. I love showing mine. I love seeing them on my girls.
48:09 Mary Beth Barone? Make it part of the outfit.
48:10 Benito Skinner? And I love seeing them on my boys. Come on, get them out. Just something about seeing like a little boxer peeking out, it's like, that's so crazy. Fuck you.
48:19 Mary Beth Barone? For men's underwear, I love boxers, I love boxer briefs, and I love briefs. And here's what I'll say.
48:24 Benito Skinner? Do you like whitey tidies?
48:25 Mary Beth Barone? Of course.
48:26 Benito Skinner? Yeah, I saw this old Calvin Klein pair that had like, almost, I should look them up on Essence, but they almost like came up into like more of a like eighties.
48:36 Mary Beth Barone? Like high cut.
48:37 Benito Skinner? Yeah, and I was like, fuck, I might fuck those up.
48:40 Mary Beth Barone? If you're a guy and you're wearing like a suit pant, that's a little bit on the more fitted side, don't be afraid to buy a brief for the event. Like, because maybe you want, you, you can have this, so the panty line, but it's not around the thigh.
48:51 Benito Skinner? I will say, straight guys wearing chinos to work or work pants, yeah, that's the sizing that they're rocking. Because every now and then I'm walking around like Fidai and I'm thinking to myself, badonk, my love.
49:05 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
49:05 Benito Skinner? That just, that can't be comfortable.
49:07 Mary Beth Barone? No, so just, yeah, play with form, play with function.
49:10 Benito Skinner? I know when I put on a chino.
49:11 Mary Beth Barone? Forget it.
49:12 Benito Skinner? Curtains.
49:13 Mary Beth Barone? Yeah.
49:14 Benito Skinner? What's your thought on the Essence sale, sweetheart?
49:15 Mary Beth Barone? So I love the Essence sale.
49:17 Benito Skinner? It loves you.
49:17 Mary Beth Barone? This idea of, well, I love.
49:21 Mary Beth Barone? Sales are so interesting because you know how-
49:23 Benito Skinner? We're frugalistas. You know what it is? When you get something on sale, it's you fucked the system. Write up what, what in the butt?
49:29 Mary Beth Barone? Capitalism. What, what in the butt?
49:31 Benito Skinner? It's finger up the booty ass bitch.
49:33 Mary Beth Barone? Here's what I'll say. It's finger in the booty ass bitch and-
49:36 Benito Skinner? And tier media?
49:37 Mary Beth Barone? Clip that. I think it's really immoral that some brands will never have sales and anything they don't sell, they burn it.
49:46 Benito Skinner? Oh, this I can't even-
49:46 Mary Beth Barone? In like a furnace.
49:47 Benito Skinner? It's disgusting, yeah.
49:48 Mary Beth Barone? And something that I will also say, which I may have said before, is that the stuff that you see at outlet malls is not like unsold inventory. They make stuff specifically for outlets. So if you think like, oh, like, you know, this brand has an outlet, so they're not getting rid of stuff that doesn't sell, they are still probably burning it, which is so bad for the environment. It's like so messed up. And I just think like, I understand that from like a public facing perspective, the brands don't want to have the perception that they need to put stuff on sale. But I think the essence sale really disproves that because it's like, if it's, if it's stuff you're not selling, like, why not make a buck or two?
50:20 Benito Skinner? Also, it's just like-
50:21 Mary Beth Barone? You're still making more.
50:22 Benito Skinner? Yeah. Also, you know, it's not free.
50:25 Mary Beth Barone? No, it's not free. And so I love the essence sale.
50:29 Benito Skinner? Mama.
50:29 Mary Beth Barone? I like, I like having three websites you go to every day. And not all of them have to be like for work. Some of them can just be for leisure, for pleasure.
50:37 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
50:37 Mary Beth Barone? I love that Essence has two S's. I think that's really cool and it's playing with form.
50:41 Benito Skinner? Yeah. Unless, you know, you accidentally look up something.
50:45 Mary Beth Barone? The SS.
50:46 Benito Skinner? Yeah.
50:46 Mary Beth Barone? This episode is all about just like personal style and feeling good. It's about feeling good.
50:52 Benito Skinner? It's our big personal style episode.
50:54 Mary Beth Barone? I think it is because make the panty line part of the outfit in whatever way you want and don't worry about how it's being perceived by the people you're attracted to. Just feel good about like yourself.
51:04 Benito Skinner? And can I just say like vintage tea, vintage pants, shoes from Essence?
51:10 Mary Beth Barone? Totally.
51:11 Benito Skinner? Find your truth, find your passion and find the in-between. It's about duality and, and don't, yeah, don't go in there and buy your whole closet. Just find some pieces that mean the world to you.
51:21 Mary Beth Barone? Some special pieces, some staple pieces that you'll have forever.
51:23 Benito Skinner? Send a link to your bestie and maybe your gay bestie will get it for you.
51:27 Mary Beth Barone? If it's between showing your kitty to everyone in Yorkville and having a panty line, I'm choosing a panty line every time.
51:35 Benito Skinner? And that's kind of just what I would say is the formula for Sydney Sweeney's signature scoop.
51:45 Speaker 00 Oh, my exit. Benny babe, eyes on the road. Benny, go!
