Basic Manners + Puss in Boots

The following podcast is a "Dear Media Production" Hey, can you come pick me up? Yeah, what's wrong? Nothing. Pretty sure. Yeah, no, I just need a ride. Right. I want to have fun. Hi, I'm Benito Skinner. I'm Mary Beth Rohn. And this is. Ride. Let's draw it. So that is Elizabeth Hurley in "Gossip Girl" when she shows Chase Crawford, who's playing Nate Archibald, a room in her actual house. But it's a part of "Summer" kind of wonderful and this is our "Summer" kind of wonderful kickoff episode. 'Cause I was just wish to "Happy Summer" and I said, "It's Summer." Whoa. I have no idea. Well, seasons are a construct. It's freezing in New York. Maybe it's warm today. I'm not sure. I'm actually currently in Los Angeles. Yay, we're happy to have you here now. And you're with Pinkie. Back in our studio, we've been in twice, but I think we're going to be in a different one. Don't get too comfortable. Well, of course not. But you guys really hated that last one in New York. Was it Gotham? Gotham, I think. I loved it. I thought it was fun. Wait, how fun is it me sitting on my knees? No, me too. We're just gaving. We're having fun. I'm trying to warm up because it's cold in here. They finally made it cold in here, so it's not sweat dripping down my booty. Well, it's all about you, isn't it? Well, every now and then, I have an audition today. I'm Nervy. Pinkie and I woke up in your house. So these two chicks woke up in my house. I'm the luckiest by the way. Oh god. I don't know about my knees. I can just do this. So cool. Totally. You look stunning. Thanks. I have sort of-- You got Jackson thinking things. I have sort of like last night's glam a little bit. Like, you know, I left it around the eyes. You just make me laugh so much lately. You're really out of pocket kind of anything goes out of your mouth. I would say the titular Hollywood reporter was left stunned. Too stunned to speak. I would have sex with women. Well, first of all, when you ask someone how they're going to celebrate pride, there's only so many things you can do in 2025. I had this terrible thought, or I go, I've just been doing press. And I couldn't say that because I was like, that sounds insane. Well, to tell the press that you've been doing press. To tell the press. The associated press that I'm doing press. But I was just like, I think I celebrate pride every minute every day. Same with Jackson. You guys all thought maybe Jackson was straight, which wishful thinking. Well, they also thought Jackson was a Tyler Durden situation that you had made up the character of Jackson. Have we not talked about this? No, it's in the app. Can you please-- Can you bring this up? So someone commented that they thought for a while that I was doing an Australian accent pretending to be this guy, Jackson. And thank you so much that you think I would crash out in that way because I will. You have completely nailed it. I will be doing some shit like that. Probably pretty soon. You have the split. You just haven't introduced them on the pod as much. The NDA, of course, is here and thriving. And we're so happy to hold space for NDA. One thing on the Hollywood Reporter is they didn't post the question. So it's completely out of context. I think God, they did. I love how it is. Well, it's in the caption, but it's the third line in the captions. No one's seeing that. They're just like, what is she talking about? She just wanted to say it. And I did say it. And I'm really happy to say that on camera. Yeah, me too. Oh, so we did let's destroy it. Oh, yeah, that's it. She just goes, look at this room or something like that. And then she goes, let's destroy it. Which is me every time I enter any room, really. So it's a piggyback off that because she's dating Billy Ray Cyrus right now. Oh, yeah. I was at an event last week. God, you can tie anything. A Vanity Fair dinner co-hosted by Miley Cyrus. And I had the genuinely the time of my life. This event was so fabulous. It was just like such an amazing group of people. And it felt like good vibes in the room. It felt very New York to me. She's my hero after seeing her at that Tribeca panel where people thought, well, I don't know. They just didn't read the website of what I believe of what the screening was. It's kind of what I've seen because I saw TikTok where someone was like, this is what it said. And it said in conversation with. It didn't say concert. And when they're like screaming at her in the middle of a panel, what a professional. Miley. Miley. Miles to go. I love you. You're 24 hours. She's incredible. She is incredible and gets to it because I know what she had on. She gave an impromptu speech that was so funny and off the cuff. Yeah. I didn't introduce myself because I just was like, I don't want to bother her at this dinner. A lot of people were going up to her. So I said, I'm going to give her space. I'm going to chat. I don't want to piss her off. I didn't want to piss her off. So she's giving the speech. And I'm like, hands over my mouth because she's so iconic to me. And at the end of the speech, she just goes, I can't wait to change into my second look, which is archival, go T.A. And what did I do? I immediately texted you. I said, Miley Cyrus just said the word archival. Just said archival. And that's one of those things. In the room. To see that, that's like when you're at a zoop, I don't go to zoos anymore. Unless it's the Idaho one. Have I told you about this? Yeah. We'll talk about this in a minute. Yeah. So here's my thing. To see that, it's seeing like a humpback whale. Totally. You know what I mean? Like that is just, you're not going to see that every day. But to see Miley Cyrus in the flesh say archival. I only wish I had been filming it. Like I didn't think to take my phone out at that moment. It's those Hollywood nights, but also those Manhattan nights. It was a Manhattan night. And we had the best time. I told you I was by someone who said they're from Manhattan. Recently, right? And I just thought, that's so interesting. What an interesting way to say that. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And I'm glad you got that off your chest. Okay. Yeah. No, and cool. That's awesome. So Zeus, I had an organization when I was in high school that was for students experiencing homelessness. Okay. And so I was presenting to this board of people for donations. And they had me do it at the Boise Zoo. And so I'm like, oh yeah, I mean, that's okay. Sure. It was like, I think a place where they like some of the money had gone to that to like support the wildlife. Sure. So I go and it's in the Africa exhibit that they have in Boise, which for those who haven't been to the Africa exhibit at the Boise Zoo. Which I haven't just to be clear. Which is shocking. I have no context. Have you not been to Boise with me yet? No. Oh, this summer maybe. I'm going to take you to the Western Idaho State Fair. And I want to go to the strip club. Can I just say you're not going to be their queen? And I know sometimes that pisses you off. No, I get it. It's like, you can't be the queen at every event. God, I just, the steampung community in London. They're waiting. Any cobblestone street I went down. They popped out. Anything worth doing is worth waiting for or something. Exactly. So I'm, I think like 16 presenting to this board. Which is so me. Like, you know, I just like, I parted my hair and put on my lacoste polo. And I was like, I'm ready to go. I was a very passionate teen. And so I'm presenting and they have made this thing that's right by in this exhibit where the lions are. And there's a glass wall, obviously, of so you can see the lions behind me. Of course. And in this kind of, it's kind of a bizarre room. I think they probably have like student things there or like field trips. So I'm in this room presenting. And then all of them start laughing in the middle of my presentation. And I'm thinking like, oh my god. Like, they're laughing because I'm a f***. Yeah. Well, obviously. My brain just didn't really go-- You know, they mean one thing. They're laughing because I'm homosexual. Yeah. And they know. They know I jerked off to Dana Radcliffe and Equis last night. One of the lions called you an Epsilon. But you just couldn't hear it. You're not ready. So for the lion exhibit, they had one male lion, two female lions. I look behind me. And trust it's the Idaho Zoo. I say with love, it wasn't Mufase. It was given scar. Yeah. And he's literally going, he's a boner. One of the lionesses. Oh my god, fully having sex. Literally balls deep in suralbi. I turn. He's literally, they have like these. They show full teeth. And then it didn't look like either party was enjoying it. They showed full teeth. It's like seeing Miley Cyrus say archival. I think that's what made me think of it. So did you continue the presentation? Well, of course, I'm a total professional. I always have been. But I was a huge relief that they were laughing at me being gay. It was just a threesome. They would laugh at you being gay later on prime video. Yeah, of course. It's those experiences in life that make us who we are. And seeing Miley Cyrus say archival after being so witty and hilarious and charming, I was just like, I love my life. I love this little life. I think this little life. Do you remember when we were at a dinner and someone said something awful that it happened to a friend and you go, can we skip to the good part? Let me skip to the good part. And Terry got mad at us. Well, we laughed so hard. And he got mad because we were laughing too hard. Yeah, sorry. There's a new challenge. Yeah. So Tate McCray is dating the Kid of the Roy. It was the old challenge. It's the Kid of the Roy challenge. Do they sell Bjorncorn at Air One? Run into your room with your parents and film. Mom, do they sell Bjorncorn at Air One? Bjorncorn at Air One. My mom would be like, let me find out. Tate's on the key. My mom would be so cold like you right now. Yeah. Well, I and I'm free. So she'd have to get over that and then via. Do they, I ask? We don't know. They have to. Hey, if it's there, it's good for you. Agreed. I love that slogan. I go, interesting. Is that what the Air One slogan is? Yeah, if it's there, it's good for you. Isn't that the slogan, Jackson? That's in college. That's not a work. That's my new name for him. This season, we are going to do a, what is it? A car wreck. What did we call it? Car crash. Car crash episode where, or totals. Oh, totals. It was total. We're actually getting confused on all the different ways of labeling episodes. The school bus. We all know where we were when we saw the school bus episode. I'm going to do a total for weed. I think weed is destroying this country from it. inside out, we'll get into that more. - Sorry. ShareHorowitz says it best. It is one thing. What does she say to like to get high out of party or something? - It is one thing to like smoke it. It is quite another to be like. Can you actually get that? - To be lit up in the middle of the day. - ShareHorowitz 'cause I wanna say this perfectly. It is one thing to spock up a dooby and get laced at parties, but it's quite another to be fried all day. That Jackson. - Yeah. - So that's just, you don't get better than that. And I completely agree. - I'm not talking about people who have PTSD and use it from additional purposes or they are going through, like, I'm not talking about that. - Oh, and can I just say, of course you guys don't, hey, be keg you guys. Also, I just wanna make it known. I wasn't saying that I expected sugar and bronze to spray me. I just said that I came in and left the same color and that can be really jarring. It was just an experience I had. I'm not mad at anyone. - It was no one's fault. - The only person I'm mad at is myself and my time management. But I've been on time to everything this week 'cause you're staying in my house. - Yeah. - 'Cause this chick woke up in my house. She's got me on her clock. - Should we get into what we ride for? - Yes. So today, am I allowed to finally say it again? - You're allowed. - I said it to Mary Beth this morning that I was riding for this and then she goes, you can't say it again until that. I will be riding for puss and boots. (laughs) - I know you're riding for this because you and Puss both have-- - We make more sense together. - Spanish heritage. - Yeah, we both weren't the thigh high YSL boots, sis. - And there's a sisterhood in that. - Yeah. - I'm riding this week for basic manners. - See again, Jackson sees the tie. - Totally. - Guess who's doing the neutrophal ad?

Yeah. So put some boots. We all know where we were when we saw Shrek 2. We had no idea that they could do it with chair and flare again, but they did. Dare I say as good as the original. Some people say better and I'm like, I just think Shrek was so revolutionary, but it was an absolutely perfect sequel. And I think as close as a sequel gets, like Toy Story 2. Right. That's as close as a sequel gets to really being like better than the original. So post comes on screen and I go, that's me. Well, that's a star. Stop putting the camera on stars. Exactly. And I remember seeing this interview with Oprah during that time because I was obsessed with Shrek. Shrek was everything to me. My dad got me out of school to take me to Shrek. And which is funny, it's like, I guess Shrek really spoke to everyone. Gay kids. Well, it's not just for kids, yeah, it's for gay kids too. Yeah, exactly. I was about to say, I was like six or seven. So then Antonio Banderis is there. This vocal performance, I do think he should have been nominated. I assume he's won something for it. If he hasn't. Ms. Courage of Justice. That sums your on notice. So he is on Oprah and he comes out. And Oprah is just like, you stole this, you stole this film. And I just remember that happening. I don't miss Oprah. And I thought, oh, if I was the rest of the cast, I'd feel like shit. But other than that, I like, I really do agree. And he did post comes, he comes charging into this film with his little boots on, very me. And flare beyond. He's debonair. He's a Casanova. He is the Casanova. He's both feminine and masculine. He is everything, and I just, I was like, I am so obsessed with this little furry fucker. Fast forward to, I think my senior year in high school is when Post got his own film, his standalone, which I mean, talk about a breakout star. And it may have been the first, but it wasn't the last. Are you talking about the last wish? Because I'll be talking about that. If Zootopia is neon noir, let me just tell you what the last wish is. It is like gravity level, existential, it is about death. It is about, it is literally like, it's on some gravity type shit. I swear to God, that film is, it is so brilliant for kind of no reason. I know. It had no business being that good. I saw it with Terry and Jordan Firstwin. And we kept looking at each other like, how is this, like, oh my God. Like we were like clutching each other. Like this film is brilliant. In high school, Post and Boots comes out. He gets his own spin off, thank God. It's absolutely brilliant. Soma Hayek plays his loving feline. I, what's her name? Kitty Soft Paws? Kitty Soft Paws. That's so like James Bond coded. No, I mean. And as like a love interest. No, I know. And okay, so this film is fabulous. In the trailer, they used Americano by Lady Gaga. So obviously I'm tapped in. Ah, I love it. Puss. This was also an early impression of mine. I would do Puss and Boots for anyone that wanted to listen. I didn't know that. Yeah. Puss and Boots. Puss and Boots. SpongeBob. I hit some other ones. Mufasa. I'll just be honest. Mufasa was a big one. I think I've already done that this season. But Puss was my. Yeah. I just really good. Yeah. So thank you. I, I do want to be him for Halloween. Like they have to put it here. Yeah. It's like Heidi Klum level. Yeah, it would take. And I want, like I want it to be like you can come watch me get it done in the window of Pinkberry. At the grove. At the grove. Yeah. So we've made it all the way up to Puss and Boots the last wish. This film, the way it's animated, I think it leans, I'm forgetting what that kind of animation is called. But it is like, it has this, not stop motion, but it has like a spider verse. Yeah. It's very, it has like a painterly quality. Yeah. Everything just looks like a painting. It was so, it painterly quality to it where everything looks like a painting. - And so that's a sentence that can actually happen. - Isn't that crazy? - So those are sounds not weird. - That's my last wish. - I, yes, Benny, this is the last episode of "Bride." - Yes, well thank God. - I saw this movie in Hawaii with a lover. It was shown to me, I never seen it before. - Whoa. - Yeah, and the passion with which it was spoken about, I was like, "God, I need to really be like Keaton for this." And I was totally shocked. - Aren't you blown away? - Yeah. - I mean, it's literally about someone confronting death. - I know. - He had nine lives, he had one life left. Like, "Well, how do you live your life?" - No, I study. - No, I like, I get goose bumps, poos. - Poos? - And God, I love his little boots and I love when he does his sweet face. - How pinkie coated is that? - So pinkie but also fairy. - Benny. - Benny. - Benziiing. - You know, it's like if someone's mad at me, I just have to go, "Mine, nine." - And they're like, "Okay, okay, okay, it's fine." - I mean, it's fine. - Please, just buy the purse. - Whatever, we don't care. - But I love that he's a thief. I love that he steals from the rich and gives it to the poor. I think that's incredible. I love what he does for the community's at large. He is a family man. I love that he's sexy. I love that he's a Casanova. - Our students can be sexy as we've discussed on the podcast. - Yes, and cats can be male, I guess. - Right, well, in fiction, sure. - Yes. - Should we talk about what's your favorite character in fiction or do you not want to talk about that? - Stop. - Don't talk about the Peabody Awards carpet anymore. - After I was confronted about your love life, my goodness. I go, "I'm here to talk about the Peabody world." The last thing I want to talk about is sex life of the person of which I have a podcast and television series. - Yeah. - Well, so, and now I know my answer that I should have said, but I was really tired. And sometimes when I'm wearing a collar shirt or dressed like Mr. Rogers, don't tell that one guy who comments. Don't tell that one guy who comments I was wearing a tie to this event. He will kill people. - He's so mad. - He's so mad about me dressing like Mr. Rogers. So my neck was a little tight and I had just done like a press line. And this woman asked me, she's like, who's your favorite fictional character? And in my head, I still have left right. Like, you know what I mean? Like I have to do it. My brain just kind of will forever fuck this up. So I'm sure on camera you can watch me go, real or fake. And I just, I went with what I had to do, which was I go, who's yours? Just and then she said Han Solo and I went totally. Oh, so we're real people. - Yeah, yeah, okay. So Obama, I love the question of who is your favorite if they did ask this non-fictional character? So who's your favorite? - And I go, don't, hey, don't tap too much in or everyone will know I'm dumb. - No, but it's fun, it's cool, it's really fun. - It was just that thing you guys, it was, and I hope that in any way you see the humanity here, but in the end I guess it's SpongeBob and Lizzie McGuire, which I do think you know, make puss and boots. - Wow, yeah. - But I should have said puss and boots. - In boots. - But yeah, I just think he, if we're talking about a debonair little kitty cat. - He is so that girl. - You wanna lick the kitty? Like, yes, he's so that girl. He's always been the reference. I hope they make more. And I know that the next wreck is coming out and I really hope my pussy cat makes an appearance. - I actually, I read for a role in the last wish for the twins. I knew I wasn't gonna book it, but I did read for it. - Wow, I'm trying to think who plays it. Florence Pue is a voice in it. She's really incredible in it. I'm trying to think of anyone else that I remember. Some of my kids obviously reprise us her role as Kitty Soft Paws. - You know who I shipped in the 90s, early 2000s that I was so pissed off wasn't together. Catherine Zeta-Jones and Antonio Benderis. - Oh, like Zoro. - Yeah, they just made the perfect couple to me. And I was like, it doesn't make sense why they're not together. - Antonio's someone for me where I feel uncomfortable seeing any image of him, but this one, he's like in a movie that's like, I think gay. - Okay. - Like photos of a young Antonio Benderis could like, they make the world go round. - Yeah. - I love him. I think this vocal performance is like up there with the grates. I really do. It's unbelievable. - And if you haven't seen it, you can watch it with anyone. - And I say this with like Eddie Murphy and Mike Myers and Cameron Diaz who have given perfect, like flawless vocal performances in those films. So I'm so excited to see what's next. Push and Boots, you have my support. Whatever you do next, Benny Dramas seated. - We're here. We're gonna be at the local AMC. We're excited. - Yes. - Excited to see you here. - I would love to be a voice. I really wanna do voice acting me and push and Boots. I wanna be one of his, when push feels by to me, by the way. - See, I'm seeing you as push's American son. Push's son that like went to America. - Yeah, 'cause he's talking loads everywhere. - And, oh, he's, he's, he'd be fucking. - He's, he'd be fucking. - Yeah. - He's getting around. - He's fucking for sure. - He's having sex with cats, and I think he has a lot of offspring. I think you could totally pull it off. - Thank you, sweetie. - Yeah. - Article makes it effortless to create a stylish, long-lasting home and an unbeatable price.

This week, I'm riding for basic manners. And so this is not to make me sound like a Republican, or someone that is a s*** with etiquette, because I do think a lot of the quote unquote manners, high society stuff is bullshit, what fork to use or whatever. I don't care about that stuff. I'll just never know that stuff. I didn't grow up with the third floor in my house. And I know it, but I choose not to engage with it. So I just think we've really lost basic manners in our current society. And I really think we should bring them back. And it just starts with one person holding the door open, or waiting for the people to get off the elevator before you get on, and that applies to the subway as well, giving up your seat to someone who you can identify as would need a seat more than you. It's really the basic stuff. And I think part of it is putting the phones down. So having a dog has actually helped me because I can't really go for a walk and text at the same time. I like have to put my phone in my pocket. And if I am texting, I have to stop. I'm not moving through the world with my face and my phone. When I'm out with Pinkie. So I just think there are certain things that we could bring back that don't feel like patriarchical or whatever. I still ride for not saying bless you and people sneeze. I think sneezes should, we should just blow right by them. We should pretend they didn't happen. We should just collectively decide that that's the case. I just do feel that in everyday interactions, I'm noticing people really abandoning. I mean, basic manners have gone the way of the clog. and I just think. we need to bring it back. And just being courteous. I think like courtesy is so nice. And it's just not happening anymore. And I know people are pissed off. I think everyone is really feeling the way of what's happening in the world and what's happening in our country and in our interpersonal lives. But there's always time to smile at someone when you walk by them, make eye contact. And even yeah, it goes back to even little compliments. I just think like be a positive interaction in someone's day. To grab someone by the hips, move them and say excuse me. Exactly. You know, it can be as simple as that. It's a pull someone's hair. In this style of Sabrina Carpenter, which we did want to say on the pod, I think a woman's creative vision should be supported. I don't think she probably felt pressure to do that album cover. Yeah. I feel comfortable saying I like the image. I think it's striking. My heart goes out to people that feel triggered by that image because I think it's just a girl having fun. Yeah. I think it just feels like not my place to police. Someone's artistic and sexual expression in that way. Yeah. Especially a woman's. So that's what we say. I'm gonna say out of that one, I would say. Yeah. Hey, lower to death. And I'd lower to death and a new album. I mean, how lucky are we? Can I just be excited about the new album? This is gonna be me to it. Yeah. Squeezing my freaking titties together. I'm just vibing out. That album to me is so to run out. Like you know what I mean? Oh my god. I know. I know. To the point where I almost can't listen to it. Agreed. Sometimes. See, that's me with girl so confusing. Sometimes I feel like I'm about to be on set. It'll come back around for me, but a sharpest tool. I mean, it's still on the list. Of course. And then I love, don't swear on your mom. That's the first that you've had like a month. It's so hard for me because you know, sometimes I have to try to make these songs work within my life because then you can really enjoy it. So it's hard. I'm like, I'm just, I'm making up things about to you. We have to become an empath in that moment where you say, so this didn't happen to me in that moment. In that moment. Yeah. Is that the only time I'm an empath maybe? Maybe empathy is really what it comes down to. I think it's human empathy because and are you still going to write your manor's book? I'm thinking about it. Is Urban Outfitters wants at least a couple of copies. Urban Outfitters has been in touch about the manor's book. Are they still selling books and stuff? Yeah. And candles and records and chachkis and Mario Badescu face spray and Mario Badescu face spray. Yeah. It's pretty cool. Manor's mean the world. They meant the world to my mom. My mom is very intense. Obviously, my dad too, but my mom is like very intense on them. I just think of please and thank you are just really fabulous. But can I say one thing that I think is like the greatest thing of all? And if you do this, I just know that I could follow you home and enjoy whatever house I go to. What? When you let someone in to the lane and they give a little. Oh my God. And they give a little princess of Genovia. That means the freaking world because I know that in that moment, I go, that's my diva, that's my sister. You know what I'm doing in those moments? I'm rolling the window down, no matter how cold it is. And I'm giving a little wave to make sure they see it because if you do it on the right side and it's just like in front of the mirror, they might not see it because what if like it's a weird glare or something. Of course. So I'm rolling the window down and I'm just waving and I go, if any tech and then I crash, when I park today, when I park today, I did put the car in reverse and it started moving and then I hit park and you were in there and you said, I'm just glad it's hard for other people. It felt so human. I make the same mistakes that even a girl like Mary Beth Barone does. I mean, that feels good. I'm going to have sex with women. I'm going to have sex with women, that Benny, the whole first semester. Yep. So that's Danny's handling. Yep. I'm not gay. Yep. I'm not gay. Yeah. I'm not gay. I would love to know from the Barones, maybe on the Reddit, like what's your favorite little basic manners thing that you do? I think just like making eye contact and saying hello. Unless you have blue eyes, then I feel uncomfortable looking in your eyes sometimes. It just feels a bit intense. You know what I mean, Jackson? I have blue eyes. Well, sweetie, that's why I kind of have to, I give you a little bit and then I have to look away. It's just a lot at once. It's too much. It's just a lot for me to like, it's like, no, I don't need to know the future, I just want to talk to you. Right. I'm just trying to have a conversation. Is that okay? Sorry, I don't need to enter the portal to Atlanta. I just want to talk. You and your thing with blue eyes, it's this is a big theme of the season. I swear to God, Scott King, our fabulous showrunner, he has the blueest eyes and sometimes I'm like, Scott, I can't, they're too blue right now. Like I can't look right now. I need to take a step back. It's aquamarine right now. I think if you have blue eyes, just keep in mind your interactions with Benny drama. That's basic manners now. I would say just blink a little bit more than you think because it's just going to help me. Don't hold your gaze. Here's my thing. It's like manners. They say like, look people on eye, but it's like then one time somebody goes, just look in one eye and then I'm like, but I can feel when someone does that. But I do think at a party, if I've had one drink and it's hitting in more of an anxious way, than a fun way, I'm like, I can't, I have got nothing for you. Well, I think even making eye contact while someone's talking to you is something we don't really do anymore. Well, sorry. Let's relax on the strong grip thing. Can you not break my hands? Ow. Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm like, yeah, I could do that too. I mean, you know, I got grip. Yeah. Hey, you know, I got that gorilla grip, but can you actually chill the fuck out? Someone literally, I just met someone last night and they hit me with like presidential level. I was like, Oh, sorry. Do you want to break my fucking hands? No, I have very fragile bones as you know, you can, I want to feel it and you can give me a little pulse. It shouldn't hurt though. What it should be is you do it and you pulse five times. Yeah. And then you do thumb war. Yeah. But I don't want to go like this on your thumb and then just do it and then we make a heartbeat. You jerk off the thumb. Yeah. I literally saw when you do the pussy and the romper thing. I saw that at the Boise Zoo. It really hurts my neck to do, but I did it live for the first time at a show. You have you have, yeah, sorry. I love you. We're keeping that in. I did it live at a show last week. It really hurts my neck, but I think the bit is worth it. It's kind of just like as good as doing it. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to keep doing it. Jackson, what's your favorite manner? Manage by fashion pit. Honestly, one of the manners in Australia, like what's the vibe? People have slept a lot. And that's one thing that really shocks me about driving here. So I agree with the waving when you merge. You could like let 10 people in and they'll still tell you to go f yourself. Yeah. That's crazy to me. Yeah. So like maybe on the window, the roads are scary. We're feeling it. They're feeling a lot right now. We really are early in their feelings. And they leave it out on the road, which I don't think is appropriate. Don't take it out. But also I think British people are too polite where sometimes I feel like I can't really get to like the, you know, you just can't go deep with them because they're so polite. I'm so happy you brought up British people because someone commented on the YouTube, but that you showed me and I can't stop laughing. They're like, Benny is so girl who went abroad this episode for one week for one week. I was literally there for four days and you couldn't be more right. It's so true. It just feels good to be in a totally foreign place. Literally. Like it's you would have loved London. You would have loved London. It's feral grace. Wow. I love that. I love overcompensating. Yeah. Yeah. I kind of ride for it in a way. Me too. Someone asked me my favorite queer show and I go, I, you know, not to be a bitch, but it's gonna have to be overcompensated. It's gonna have to be my baby girl. You know what, you are, Benny? Hmm. I f*** it. Your words not mine. Babe, you're my rider, die. Ride or die. Should we get into ride or die? I mean, imagine me, imagine me a sweet corn-fed Idaho boy dying for manners. Not gonna happen. No, no, I know. I mean, that would be good. But I'm still this season hoping that you bring something that I can die for. You never know. I thought maybe put some boots you could die for. I don't know. No, I, okay, so I'll start. I really love, I love animated movies. Okay, no, I love media that is and we will. I love media that is geared toward people of all ages. It's something that like you can enjoy with the whole family. Like the Incredibles. I think the Incredibles one and two is like, it's so, the, the ideas are so big, but it's so fun to watch. And it's like, it's for kids. It's for adults. It's for everyone. So to me, and also to be shown the last wish, of course, I didn't know what to expect going into it. And there was just such a deep message there. And I feel like that's what kids really need. Like obviously there's room for the more, you know, surface level stuff. But I feel like children's programming. Yeah, because we're not teaching kids in schools about much of anything anymore. I think like literacy is down. No one can do addition and subtraction anymore. So we're really relying on movies, especially animated ones that kids can latch on to. So I'm always going to ride for powerhouse performance where the actor gets lost in the role. And I just feel like Puss and Boots is like such a departure. And it's fun. People didn't seem for a year after he did this. He didn't, no, they didn't. So I ride for manners. I think it's, it's what we were talking about. It's like, I think we all have to take care of each other. The good ones hold each other. Say please and thank you. And would you like to have sex with me? And if you don't, that's so fine. I just wanted to find out there. I wanted to, it is so obviously if you don't want to, if you don't want to, but I have to ask, but I got, I'd be crazy not to ask, baby. I'd be crazy not to ask. But yeah, I wish actually more people would just say it. Yeah. Maybe this week is, it's your time to shoot your shot with your crush. I think so too. Wait, I love that. Yeah. For us too. Yeah, for us. I think it could be fun. Let's do it. Let's go for it. Yeah. Having a crush. Wow. I could never ride for something like that because I think it destroys people. Yeah. Well, of course. Well, I wrote a whole TV show about it. But also, it's really interesting. The Hollywood Reporter didn't ask anything about your crush status. Yeah. I would have loved to answer that. I would have loved to. I mean, there were other questions they asked me that they did not post with no context. Yeah. But just to say like, I love that that's out there. It's immediately the first thing I was saying. Terry said it was what he woke up to that morning. Yeah. Which can be really cool. That's amazing. Happy Pride. I mean, happy Pride. Thank you of all things. And a happy Pride from Adam DeMarco. I could not say no. Let's say it. And he was just like, why do you keep saying that? And I'm like, you know, you know, it's just, it's just fun. Let's try it. Oh, my accent. Anything. Eyes on the road. - There you go! - There you go!
