This podcast episode blends personal storytelling, pop culture commentary, and light-hearted humor to explore themes of self-expression, mental well-being, and freedom. The hosts, Benito and Mary Beth, engage in candid discussions about their lives, including emotional vulnerabilities, creative inspirations, and personal desires—such as dancing and living freely. A standout element is their fascination with pop stars who speak directly in their songs, like Lady Gaga and Sabrina, highlighting a shared love for playful, breaking-the-fourth-wall moments. The conversation also includes humorous anecdotes, such as an owl syncing with the washing machine and a surreal dream of dancing at a “saw house” with friends. Product promotions for brands like Hill House Home, Julie Morning After Pill, No-CD therapy, and Squarespace are woven in, though framed with authenticity and self-awareness. Amidst the playful tone, there’s a deeper appreciation for authenticity, emotional honesty, and the joy of unscripted, human connection. The episode celebrates individuality, creativity, and the small, meaningful moments that define personal growth—balancing humor, vulnerability, and a clear voice of self-ownership.

"Did I see that hunter watch time?" "No, for sure. I think it's different when it's not into another microphone, and then it's like feeding that into my headphones." "Like live, it sounds different just so everyone knows." "At my house later, I whipped that out. You were not even expecting it. I'm tucked. I come into the room." "Oh yeah, and you sing Halsey." "And I sing Halsey when she revealed her pregnancy at Coachella." "Right." "Which didn't happen all of this." "Right, well just had a bit for a while." "Who's your favorite fictional character?" "Don't because now I'm thinking again, who's yours?" "When she said Han Solo, I think God." "What a relief." "I wonder when that video will come out. Isn't it so scary?" "You think you have the archive of everything that exists?" "It's everything everywhere all at once." "It exists of us on a press tour?" "Yeah." "I wanted to say eight months into Trump's presidency. We haven't hit the Tyka button once. So I think that's something we need to be mindful of." "Hit it." "Hit it." "Tyka button." "AI cannot figure out fingers." "And what's so interesting about that is that fingers are. " "No, hands are the hardest thing to draw paint all that stuff." "Oh, that's true." "So it's not surprising. I learned that. "Literally in elementary school art class." "Mr. Napoli, shout out to her." "I think that was her name." "She turned off after hearing the vocoder." "The beginning, yeah." "She didn't like that." So yes, that is traditionally known as the hands are the hardest thing to sort of master as an artist. So maybe AI and humans aren't so different after all. "Yeah, I guess maybe we can find a common ground of sorts." "Oh shit, I'm Sydney Sweeney." "Don't be Sydney. We actually can't do that." "I know. Wait. Someone said that like, I don't know. There was some comment that was like, as if we had done some like a huge endorsement of the American Eagle thing, that never happened. Just to be clear." "No, and it never will." "Yeah, that wasn't it." "That never will." "We said something existed, and I think that that's one thing I just want to make clear on the pod. If we say that something exists, that doesn't mean." "Not endorsement, yeah." "Okay, so there's all the discourse about AI taking jobs and stuff, which I'm sure is happening, but all I see of AI are like, I saw a video of all the Austin Powers characters as babies." "Well, thank God." "And so I'm like, was that someone's job before to do that by hand?" "It feels like AI is just creating a lot of stuff that we didn't have that we actually don't need." "You see, I'll explain this to you very straight male style." "Please." "Every movie before you make it, you have to see all that kind of stuff on storyboards." "You have to see the kids." "And then there are a couple of consequences." "Well, what would this like look like if it was like Gothic 80s horror?" "And it's like, well, I have a full storyboard." "Can you show you that?" "That person doesn't have a job." "And that pisses me off, dude." "No, I. " "A person now does not have a job. Do you get that?" "Do you fucking understand that?" "Hey, white bitch, do you get that?" "The answer is no." "Everyone's doing the internet." "No, I know." "Oh, you know what, I've been loving recently. I have a joke about Trump's kids and I posted it." "And so all these people comment, don't quit your day job," which then actually is being supportive because my day job is being a comedian, which they don't realize. So they're like, oh, don't quit your day job. You ugly bitch. And I'm like, okay, I won't. I'm gonna keep doing stand-up. "You're right. I'm going to be an actor." "And I am." "What was the Nina thing you wanted me to read?" "Oh, so, okay, there was a video of the New York Times talking about something really, really serious." "Yeah." "It was a podcast and underneath there were these two comments that I felt were really important." "Okay, let me get my. " "She would love that little thing." "Just to play tricks." "I'm curious, my man." "Oh, fuck." "You remember now?" "Oh, fuck, they're bird." "I'm curious, my man always wants to go to the bathroom to play with their bird." "To play with their bird after watching my videos." "Try it if you don't believe me." "I just wanted to act." "What was everyone doing in the bathroom after watching my movie?" "Me, me at the premiere of "Over-Compatating." "You at the premiere of "Sugar Baby?" "No." "So that just happened." "My bird." "Your bird." "But I actually don't want it. I'm just amplifying that." "So I assume cock got just a little. " "Hey, I have hands and cock are a little tricky for it." "Tough to master." "Yeah." "Our notes app says the owl outside my window." "Oh, you're really going to bring this bitch up." "Speaking of a bird." "Well, I have my first op of the year." "I swear to God." "This is your first op of the year." "My list is wrong." "No, I'm kidding. My list is huge." "But there is this bird outside my window." "Headwig, turf hogwarts." "I can only imagine." "Fuck you, JK Rowling." "And fuck you, JK Rowling." "You've seen the jinx once in. " "Oh my God, that was so. " "I wonder how. " "I guess we need to post that in some way, shape or form." "We have to." "The tear down of JK Rowling." "So simple, so beautiful." "Elegant," "Elegant," "beautiful." "Reading is fundamental." So, one morning, and you know, I'm pretty heavy sleeper, honestly. Like, you snuck into my house last night. I didn't hear a thing. "You did not wake up, you didn't make a sound." "And I know you were going crazy." "Folding everything." So, I'm sleeping one morning. "I did the dyson." "Fully in your heels." "With big headphones on." "Please boots to make your walk." "So, this one morning, the sun starts to come in and the bedroom and the buddwar. And I hear, "Whoo, whoo." And I'm like, "Okay, well, once it's fine." So, this owl is a rancid-ass bitch. This owl, I would say, is very joker coated? "Just wants to watch the world burn." "Very much, very riddler because he'll do something like, and it's a he." "Because I just think, she would have come inside." "Yeah." "As she would be hanging out." "And had a spotty with you." "Of course, she'd be on my finger." "Exactly." "And I pet her." "And I'd, who back at her?" "This I couldn't, I didn't understand the frequency. I tried it in the mic and nothing worked." "It worked." "This owl, he keeps going, he will wait." "So it'll be like this." "So I'm back asleep at this point." "And then the next one will come at a different time." "It's maximum impact and it's kind of no rhythm." "And it works for my washing machine." "I swear to God, they're on the same circadian rhythm." "Your washing machine is my horcrux or whatever." What does that mean?
- I don't know. - But do you know what I mean? - Of course. - It's, or what's the thing that like, it's like, it haunts me and I hate it so much. - Well, someone asked me to describe it once. They're like, what's the, you know, what's the vibe when I said it's, I said, it's serious. - If, fuck you, believe a fucking wet load in there. (laughing) - Fuck, God damn it, she's complaining about the wet load in there again. No. - That your washing machine is a bitch. - No, it's just such a bit. It's literally like, the ghost of a 50's housewife who got wronged lives inside my ins. - Daddy Draper's ghost lives in your fucking washing machine. - The conjuring. - And she sent the owl, by the way. But here's the thing, if you leave it. So, okay, I understand you don't want me to leave what post in there. - Do you understand that's the frequency. He'd come, right then he would have gone. (laughing) - Right. - I don't want to leave what clothes in the wash, but I got to have a grace period of a little bit. And also if you beep 10 times, let it go. - Mama, I'm on Zoom. - Let it go. - No, I'm on Zoom. - No, I'm on Zoom. - We're doing something else. - At that point, Niko, you're pathetic. - You're just so neat. - You're so fucking scarred for attention. - No, fully, washing machine had the worst fucking childhood. But then once I'm there, it's like, (humming) it also shakes a lot. It's just so, it's overcompensating in a lot of ways. - Stuff. - Yeah. - But I love waking up in your house. - So that's my washing machine. - And the owl. So, I guess it's at this point, before we even know what we're right for, that we need to talk about in a French-ass restaurant. (laughing) - Hurry up with my damn croissants. - So. - So, we're not endorsing. - God, no, we would not-- - We are just saying this exists. - I can't stress enough. And if you actually think we are endorsing, you're not a part of the work. - Listen to the entire podcast from the beginning and then come talk to it. - And decide if we are supporting this at all. We don't even need to say who it is. I don't know why it came to my head. I just thought, I can't believe this lyric exists. I need to shout it out at Mary Beth right now in Montreal in this hotel. That had an interesting smell. It smelled like cum, no. (beep) Well, don't say that. They'll come for you. - Yes. - Good. So. - We're gonna bleep that. I did not, you were never really in. - 100,000. - Also, the video podcast, I wonder if people are noticing how fidgety I am. I am adjusting in my chair about every five seconds. - Also, I think there's just like a glow filter that we put on all of it just to make it consistent, but sometimes-- - And that's for you guys. - Hey, it's for you. It's for the people. - It's not for us. - It has nothing to do with us. I don't care how I look. - No, I never do. - No, I've never do. I've never cared about some shit like that. - How many doctors have you been to in the last two weeks? - 30. I went to a holistic healer this morning and she told me I had rage in my liver. So, I would say we're really getting closer and closer to an answer. But I think I might have-- - I'm not, I have nothing to say. - I might have leaky gut. - Totally. - And all I said there was, come on, leaky gut. - You did not. I did not. - No, I didn't. - Okay, good. - I just wanted to make you laugh. So, in a French-ass restaurant, hurry up with my damn croissants. It's just like, I just, yeah. So, I did sing that at Mary Beth and I just thought of, like, Peter season two, like saying that and thinking it was so sick in a French-ass restaurant. Hurry up with my damn croissants. (laughing) - And that joke costing $50,000. - A hundred. - So-- - That would be a hundred. (beep) - Weep it. - I look, I like that people, there's levels to the work. There's levels to the meaning. That one is face value. It's face value. There's nothing deeper there. He's in a French-ass restaurant. And can you picture him in a French restaurant yelling, hurry up with my damn croissants. And also, very clearly, it's not Paris. That's what I love. Like, I'm just in this French-ass restaurant. - Well, because in Paris, a French restaurant, it's just a restaurant. - It's just a restaurant. So, this is a French-ass restaurant. - Yes, he's going to Jam and I. - I just love saying that, but privately. - Yeah. - On the podcast. - And here, on camera. No, this is something, when you said face value, it makes me think of-- - What does it make you think of? - I love having the podcast. And just talking to the fucking most annoying girl and fucking comedy right now. - You're so up your ass after your big Seth moment. (laughs) - Yeah, I've been riding that way for a while, girl. - So-- - I shouldn't even be here right now. - No, I shouldn't have to fucking do this. That's what you say when you come in. We're just so weird. - I knock a chair over and I say, get me the fuck out of here. And hurry up with my damn croissants. (laughs) - In a French-ass restaurant. (laughs) - And then the whole stadium is silent. And they all sing it with me. - Hurry up with my damn croissants. - No, you. (laughs) - Okay, so here's the thing. I was at dinner last night. I was at dinner last night with Amber Bane of the Japanese house. And she was saying that she and her lovely bride, Alyssa got in, not a squabble. I think it's just a really intense fight. - You asked their biggest fight. - Well, with my arms crossed I said, what's your biggest fight? - What's your biggest fight? - She said, Alyssa and I were confused as to if porknights has any sexual and you end up. 'Cause she was like, I just think it's like you just saying porknights, you just like eating pork. And I'm like, no, it's just that. It has no-- - For now. - Well, for now. - We'll see how it evolves. - It could evolve any, yeah, any which way. But yeah, I'm like, no, that's, - Sometimes it's just literal and it's just like, yeah. - When you go to dinner, when you go to dinner, when you go to dinner, you go to dinner, you go to dinner, you go to dinner, you go to dinner, you go to dinner, you go to dinner, you go to dinner, you go or maybe you do. - Oh, you probably do.

Picture this, you're going about your day when suddenly a horrifying thought flashes through your mind. I'm going to kill Benny drama. Maybe it's a fear of something happening to a loved one, a disturbing or sexual image that keeps your playing in your mind. I'm going to kill Benny drama, but it'll be naked. We're in urge to do something you don't want to do. Kill Benny drama. Your heart races, your palm sweat and anxiety washes over you. You're mortified and you feel fully convinced that it's true. Even though you know that that isn't who you are, you don't want to kill Benny drama. But still, the question of, why did I think that? Am I that person? Start to consume you and you feel like you have to do something, anything to make them go away. I feel this so hard. I experience this all the time. I also experience it at times when I really don't want to. So I've been on vacation. Yeah, vacation privilege for a week. And lately I find that I get them more during those times. So if any of this sounds familiar, here's the thing about those disturbing unwanted thoughts. They're more common than you think. In fact, almost everyone has them. But for people with obsessive compulsive disorder or OCD, they usually cause a lot of distress and feel hard to stop thinking about. Unlike general therapy providers, every no-CD therapist specializes in OCD. So they deeply understand intrusive thoughts. That means no matter how disturbing like killing Benny drama, taboo or shameful you think something is, your therapy sessions are a safe space to be open about it. Using exposure and response prevention therapy, or ERP, the most proven OCD treatment, your OCD therapist can help you take the power away from OCD and distressing thoughts and live face to face video therapy sessions. No-CD also accepts many major insurance plans and offers always on support between sessions. To learn more about therapy with no-CD, go to nocd.com and schedule a free 15 minute call with their team.

This summer is not only about being sexy, it's about having a better morning after. I've never heard that right. You might be waking up your own bed or someone else's and I know what you're thinking right now. This girl woke up in my house. And the house that you woke up in may or may not have navy blue sheets, that's none of my business. It doesn't matter 'cause Julie has you covered. 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. Julie literally just sent one to my house. Can you believe that? I got a Julie pill in my house. If there's no egg, there's no fertilization. And if there's no fertilization, there's no pregnancy. It's called. science, women and STEM, hello. The earlier you use it, the better it works. And when you need it, Julie should be your plan A, because it's more affordable than a leading competitor. Think of all the savings as another drink on Julie. And the best part is, 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 poll cannot end an existing pregnancy and won't affect future fertility whatsoever. Girls, girls, everywhere can find Julie at CVS Walgreens, Walmart, Target, Amazon, and GoPuff across all 50 states. No age restrictions and no ID required. I know times are tough. Everything's about to get more expensive. So I just want to remind you that Julie is more affordable than a leading competitor. And just to reiterate, girls, girls, everywhere can find Julie at CVS Walgreens, Walmart, Target, Amazon, and GoPuff across all 50 states. We love you, Julie. Thanks for protecting our girls. Wait, where are we going? Who cares? Ride. I don't feel like family. You know, Mika, all right, go. Sorry about that. [MUSIC PLAYING] Don't. Let me start. So I don't have that much to say on this. Well, you just let the moves do the talking. Exactly. Body language. As or so at once. Body language. [LAUGHTER] So the iris. Gasly Gara has been extended three times, just swept from her nose. The gas leak has landed at the Pacific Design Center. This place is about to blow. About to blow. About to blow. Uh, uh, uh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Where did the media blow up? It's going to be me and you walking away and there's constant pain. It has to choke her. Each color of the Pacific Design Center, blowing up. Before other businesses in the building, she did nothing wrong. It turned to me and go, blue. Oh, red. Oh, we would have gotten everyone out, by the way. Well, yeah. It's just a demolition. They want to put up a new Pacific Design Center. We're helping them out. Of course. So, OK. After reading Mark Ronson's book, which I just can't shut up about. Good. I really found myself feeling nostalgic for those nights when I was in my 20s that you had no plan. You do a pregame at the apartment. You do a little Molly. And you just see where the night takes you. And usually it took you somewhere to dance until four in the morning, because the bars in New York are open till four. And you would, honestly, it was like a workout. Like you were breaking a sweat. Maybe you made out with someone, an MO on the D flow, as we call it, make out on the dance floor. You would connect with people. You would lose your phone briefly and then find it. I'm like gyrating in my sea right now. Like, I'm literally a friend to you. You would tell your friends how much you love them. One time I took a shot of whiskey, and there was a piece of glass in the liquid, which I put to the top of my roof of my mouth with my tongue. I swallowed the whiskey, and I took the glass out. And I showed it to the bartender. I need a little piece of glass. And you slept or throw it with it? Yeah. Then I burned the place at the ground. I'm with Catwoman today at your media. My name is joke today. Hit me. I do have nine lives. I'm running low, though, by the way. We're nearing the end here. Definitely. So I just have a lot of-- I want to dance again. I'm just so happy to hear you say this. There was a gay night recently that I went to-- A gay night. It was gay guy night, literally. And I barely moved my hips, but just even that little gyration, because my body does do a lot of talking. And I can just-- Well, people, I don't think of LA as a big dancing culture. Well, I wish there was, but there isn't. So I went to this gay night downtown with Jordan Firstman, Owen Thiel, Jared Elner, and Terry. The night was structured in a way where it was like, the dancing was just one beat that was playing. And I was like, kind of sometimes like, for me to really dance, I need like lyrics a little bit. I want to sing. I want to dance the top 40. So this is my big critique of New York right now. So there's a really great dancing spot called Chao Chao in Williamsburg, but every night I've gone there, they play disco, which I want to hear top 40. I want to dance to meet. Me, me, me. I want to dance to Chao these angels. I would do boiler room set. To play boiler room set, I'm not asking you to change the club vibe. No. That's what I want, just every now and then I want it to be like, I'm like, are they doing Carly Ray? And then they don't play it, but it's just a little bit. Right, I need a little like a crumb of it. So I actually got a DM the other night that I didn't see until the next morning. It was Parker, the sole cycle instructor I'm obsessed with, who is also a DJ. And he had a message me, do you want to go dancing tonight in Williamsburg? I could have. That's so caring of you. That's so mad. It's so caring. I would call Matt in the morning. Let's go dancing. When she calls all the girls for a week call. Take low underwear and a sheer dress. Yes. You took me dancing. What the $3 bill night? Yeah, when you did math. But in the middle of the night when I did math accidentally, this is coming up a lot recently. I also think I did math in a way. In a way, it was contact high. It was a contact high. I smoked so many sigs that night. I just felt like a dancing boy. Well, that was such a fun night. It went from the best night ever to the worst day ever. The next day because we didn't sleep till 8 p.m. On the next day. Anyone who had done the Molly, it was least with meth. We did not sleep. To cancel opening for George Severus because I was way too fucked up and upset. You got me so fucked up that night that the next day I cried at the Ralph Lauren documentary on a flight home. Do it that way, you will. Just think about that. You guys. But here's the thing. Oh, yeah. So at this gain night, it was tiered. So it was like the dancing was only to one beat. Then there was a dark room if you wanted to get into that. And then there was a massage area. So a woman was giving chair massages. So that's where I was. So that's very LA to me. Yeah, but it was great. It was so funny. She gave me her card at the end of it and was like, you're so tense. And I'm like, well, yeah. I'm out right now. Right. You're socializing in LA. It's weird to be kind of drunk as fuck and get a massage. It kind of doesn't feel good. But it was like, you know, I don't know. Just that night I was promised dancing and I didn't necessarily get it. But I'm dying to feel the sweat. Let's go dancing in New York, maybe, when you're there. If anyone knows good dancing spots, please let us know. Either start or read it thread or you could just reach out directly. But I want to dance and I just wanted to be songs that I know and maybe some like 90 songs, maybe some totally like, you know, current stuff. But I do want to reiterate, I wasn't going to clubs like Marquis and Wano obviously. I went to those a few times, but not regularly. These were clubs in the East Village where there was like a basement. There was one called Ella that shut down and it was just such a good vibe in there. It was sort of like 50s diner vibes, but without the booth. Do you remember Elvis Guest House? No. Is it, I think it was Elvis Guest House. They had that like one back room that was so Instagram because it was like a wall of flowers, like fake flowers. I don't remember. And everyone would like kind of, that would, that'd be where they'd launch their relationships with like a photo of them. Wow. Yeah, it was crazy. First like gay romance. How do I post it? Was that a Elvis Guest House? But yeah, that, oh my God. I remember going there and it was like the best music and you're just sweating so much. I know. I follow that loose. You know that middle part where the sweat looks good. I love that part. If you take photos at the end of the night at one of those nights, it can be really scary. Oh my God. So I did go dancing with the boys and Paris a little bit. Rich sent me a photo of you. You went dancing with Adam and Rich. Well Adam went home early and then Rich and I were kind of like there for a little bit. But then. I cannot. I just picture this. Oh well yeah, it's just Rich and I kind of. Yeah. Well you've seen it in the show. Yeah. That's just kind of that. We're just like, it's a little shoulder movement. It's like, it's fun.

And I. Just sickly. Just sickly. I think sickly. I'm going to post a dump on ride the part of the meth night so you could see us at our high highs. God. We had so much fun. In my head. It was. It was cute. I look cute. We looked really cute. I remember a really tight shirt. Yeah. I was like, you know what, fuck it. We're dancing. Fuck it. We ball. Did I tell you I want to say that more? I'm so unfortunate. I think it has the best sentiment to it. Like fuck it. Like fuck it all. We ball. You know, I danced a lot when I went to Glastonberry, which I don't know if I could ever go back to you because I almost died. And I will tell the story of doing stand-up comedy in the VIP 10 on the Saturday on a come down. But not right now. And who was in the 10s? Give them a taste. Cause that's until just went in. Yeah. That's, see, you don't know the story until you know that, but there were a lot of other people there too. Oh, I think she was laughing. One day I'll get into it on the pod here. But I just missed dancing. I would love to go dance with you. And I just want to like, yeah, just let loose on the dance floor and have fun. I don't know. Harmony Tividad is the best DJ in Los Angeles. Alex Chapman. I would go anywhere. It's literally Alex Chapman, Harmony Tividad, if they're on, and oh my God, you need to go to a gag night. Alex Chapman. In New York. Yeah. Alex and Zoe. They put on I was on the mic for like two seconds before they played Abracadabra. Like kind of exactly what I should be on my right. Right. It's just that hits. You need the gaze and the girl leads to decide the music. And once they're on the dance floor, it's like everyone else has permission to get out there. But I also want to say no shade to disco. I just can't. I don't have the type of rhythm. And dare media. Clip that. Hey, no shade to disco. No shade to disco. I don't have the rhythm to really dance that. I need it to be sort of like. I know. I can put my hands up in the air. It's a clear blue. It's just like, I just need to, I need a couple lyrics to like find my footing. Oh my God. Dream maybe. Did you ever go to dream baby in these village? I think I might have. It takes out of their multiple times for dancing on furniture. Come here right now. That'd be me in the back of me dancing on Thomas people at the premier one day.

his boyfriend texts me the morning after the premiere, nothing just the video of Mary Beth going, I think it's a party for you. And it's literally Mary Beth doing a full body roll at which you've never done on me. - I used to give lap dances like to buy you a drink to Jake all the time at parties 'cause he was just like a safe space. But like I can do some shit like that. - I love when you get drunk. When you and I are drunk together, it's like come on. The world is totally ours. - It hasn't happened that many times. - No. - We need to fix that. It's just because I feel like when we are together, we just stay home. - Yeah, like tonight it's group kitchen. - Totally. - It's my signature group dancing is everything to me.

And then I come out and I'm like, I'm, you know, I've got. - Step up to the street. - Big jeans on, boom, boom, boom, boom. - Sorry I can clear my throat. It's just the type of day we're having. - Oh my God, wait, I kind of danced. I kind of danced throughout the college tour. There were some like, you know, some of the bars and stuff they were playing music, I don't know.

How did you put it so eloquently? - Okay. - So what's the title of this one gonna be? - Pop stars talking in songs. - Cool. - And here's the thing. I think this is actually one that's like, oh well, of course you love this. But I think some of mine are different than other people. - And some people really don't like this. - Yeah, some people hate this. I find that every time it's there, it tickles my brain. So I wrote a bunch of examples. So this just means kind of any pop diva in the middle of a song they hit you with it. - I can't believe I'm telling you this. What I've had a couple of drinks in, oh my God. - Which is my favorite of all time. And that's Lady Gaga in sex dreams. That came out when I was in the closet. And to hear that little-- - That hurts. - The first time? - That hurts. - No, I've had a couple of drinks like, oh my God. - It's just like, it's as good as anything could ever be. So that's one of my favorites. Sabrina in kind of every song she's made is the note I made here. She's kind of always like, f*** it, you know, in a funny way. - Well, to me, it's always like, so your Brad Pitt. - It's so, so your Brad Pitt. - But all of Sabrina's are like that and that's complimentary. - Of course, and I love it so much. Does she do one in "Man Child," she does. It's like, okay, how does it start or something? Like I love when it's at the start. I think that's so fun. Beyonce has really theatrical ones. - Oh, I mean, yeah, because they always-- - Oh, how I've missed you, my love. That one to me, I get goosebumps. - I almost gave me goosebumps. - I know. I also love when she says, you know, all these songs sound good. That one kills me. I would love to hear any Renaissance in the club. I would literally just, but, you know, all these songs sound good. I love that. - The one that always jumps out to me as the old tailor can't come with phone right now. - I was. - She's dead. - On my list, of course. - Sorry, I didn't want to jump the gun. - There's a few tailor ones. Like, I think she does one and I forgot that you existed. I mean, I cannot wait. I just hope this opens the floodgates for all of you to just tell us all the ones you love because there's just so many. Charlie has a few that are unexpected. She has this one that's on how I'm feeling now. She's like, you know, it's like, yeah, you know, it's just a lot. You know, do you know what I'm talking about? Where she's like, she feels like a really thing to do. - Which song? - I think it's on. - On The Deluxe. - No, it's on how I'm feeling now. And it's like a voicemail. Which is kind of its own category, but I call it talking. - Right, it says it comes into the mix and she's using voice notes from. I believe her mother or grandmother. - And Frank is his mom for the Facebook one. So, yeah, but yeah, where she goes, it's like her. It's like, well, I'm kind of giving Kate Moss. - Yeah, I love it. - Have you ever heard of my Kate Moss? - Yeah, I think it, I mean. - It's not bad. - No, I love that it's in your arsenal. - Yeah, Kate's always there. I'm waiting to drop that on a big show. - Totally. - But yeah, I'm trying to think of, I think it's on how I'm feeling now. I'm just like, oh, it's on enemy. Where she's like, you know what I'm saying? - Wait, sorry, I was thinking of crash. - I was thinking of crash. - She's like, that's like, yeah. - Yeah. - That's like, yeah. - And then it's like. - Hey, babe, you're my enemy. - Give me the. - No. - God. So I love Charlie doing that. Can I just say three things to you? Charlie, Caroline, Chris. I wish that that was in the-- - Charlie, Caroline, Chris. - Can I say something to you right now? - So all this to say that all the icons and legends have done this. A new darling of talking in pop songs has landed. She has emerged. Miss Addison, Ray. Now just drop the ray. It's cleaner. - It's cleaner. I thought you were gonna say chapel. - Chapel does. - Come on. - Wait, wait, chapel, but still, chapel feels less. I guess she does have some talking. And then there's this. - You know what they say? Never waste a Friday night on the first day. - Period. - And I was in my heels with my hair straight. - Seriously. - I took him to this farm. - Yeah. - What the hell? - That's a single question. - Oh my God. - It was where he is. - What are we actually doing? - Oh my God. - I just got chills because you know what this just reminded me of. - What? - I'm at the sew house. - Oh. - Us. - We do it. - We are friends in our hot debut track, which we toured, I mean, we had an international tour of that song. - We did. - So how's the one song? - We need to release it just it's, you know. - I want to. - Yeah. - Actually, maybe we'll just put it at the end of this episode for people haven't heard it. - 'Cause it's at the end of an episode from season one, but we don't know which one, which is cool. - No, we could never know. - So we'll put it at this one too. - I just broke the fourth wall. - I've been doing it a couple of times. - You said, okay, so. - Addison. - And your media? - Clamp in that. - Clamp in that. - She has electrified me. The way she talks in a pop song. - My mama always told me, never just me, little girl. I have to play with you. It's just too. - I know I may be young, but I got feelings too. - Wait. - What I need to do. Just do it. - How do you like it? - All your people now get me. - How did I skip Britney? Am I okay?
This is a story about a girl named Lucky. I mean, it's the first time anyone has ever talked in a pop song, period. Obviously, Brittany, and now Addison, Addison has this song that's called "Money is Everything." Us and our Dyson debate. And. And that's in sale. Who cares? Come on. Just have some fun. I'm having fun. I don't even want to mimic it because I just, I want you to hear it for yourself because this is exactly what I'm talking about and if you don't love this, that's crazy to me. It's this. It's an iced-cheap down your neck. I want you to say my money, so I never had to rely on a man to take care of me. Walk. He's spelled, though. No, I know. He comes with me to heaven. No. I have a lot of it, so can a girl just have fun? Can a girl have fun? And then at the very end, are you ready? Because it goes from there into. How me is this? Me at the premiere of "Overcompetating." (Laughs) (Music) (Music) (Music) (Music) (Music) Whoa. This goes kinda hard. (Music) Oh. I'm the richest girl in the world. (Music) Honey loves me. And then, I love a. (Laughs) Right. So, I love it. It's just delicious. It's like, it's something. I don't know. It feels like personal. What's playing with form? Well, of course it's playing with form and it's duality, but there's something about just like, it's a little wink and a smile. It's breaking the fourth wall in a lot of ways. It is. And I just. Speaking directly to the reader. Well, speaking directly to your readers. It's two homosexuals. Exactly. Some of girls. I know that it's being like, we have to wink at these fuckers. Or else they're gonna freak out. You know what you are, Marybeth? Bisexual? Well, yeah. But you're also? My ride or die. My ride or die. I ride for pop stars, talking in songs. Well, you're already going in. Are you going in? Well, we have to kind of. I don't speak German, but I can't. I think that's the last one. And then I'll just keep. No, you know what reminds me of you when Lady Gaga goes, "Can you go a little faster?" How? That one is so you to me. John Wayne? Yeah. It's like, you know me better than I know myself. We're getting there. It's just like, I just want to be on the back of us. I'm gonna try to go a little faster! Okay. So I ride for playing with form. Oh, by the way, I had a B12 shot today. So I feel like I did a low quiet. Oh, that's why. Okay, that's why this is all making a lot more sense. Yeah, I forgot to tell you. I like when people are told, "Hey, you have to do this thing one way." And then they say, "Well, I'm gonna flip the script." So it's a song, and it's for singing. But actually, here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna talk. And you're gonna fucking deal with it. Hey, is the mic still on? Did you get that last part? Because you get that? Because I think you're gonna want it. Oh, I love this one. I love this one. You know what's a good one? It's Lana and Ann W. She goes, "Oh, my God. I love that sound." Okay, keep going. I just think it's cool to creatively express yourself, just like we do on this podcast. I agree. And sometimes, like, just doing it through one medium is not enough. So you need to add a little spoken word. And so I love pop. You know, I love girl singers. I was actually thinking, "Guys singers could take a few years off." I think we've heard enough. And I would just love to make more room for girl singers. And it just all sort of ties back to that, except Bonnie Bear, of course, because he is somewhat girls. Justin Vernon is somewhat girls. He doesn't count. Different. I'm not even gonna say I read for dancing, because that would be just two. It would minimize something that means the world to me. I've been dancing since I was a little kid. I think there's only one way. Get in a gay way too. And I just want, how about you and your guy just dance to a song together? Really? Let's do it. In our chairs. Come on. And you'll see, I don't have rhythm. I'm better when I'm a little bit of. Everybody listen to Romi Mars right now. We'll probably get flagged for this. Please don't monetize. It's just over. We're just gonna get through the first chorus. Oh my god. You can dance while sitting down. That's what they don't tell you. Like me. All American. Mom and dad. Mom and dad. This song can actually be the cover. It covers us. Us. In the meantime. I know all the words. She's down. No, I'm the dad. Oh yeah, I don't know. Ready? Yeah. Close your eyes. Close your eyes. This is my body. It's the ego. We can go up. Night. Mom, it's not about me. Though, if you want me, I'll feel nice. You are till my waist. You can hear my face. My body moves. I go up and down like you. The dancing should reflect on your neck. Of course. Of course, always. I take my clothes off. Thank you guys. We love you. Hey, dance. What did we do in the hotel room in Montreal? We put on Hannah Montana and we danced. Dance. She queen. I'm at the saw house. Are you serious? Yeah. I've been dying to get into that place. Oh my god. It's easy. Wait. Seriously? Could you like? Don't know. Bring me a reservation. Yeah, baby. You're the best, best, best, best. Saw house. They all want in. Camera phones. RSN. Let the famous live in peace. Your connections will increase. You never know who you will see. But first you have to pay the fee. Oh yeah, there's an application. You've got to come with a recommendation. Saw house is the place to be. Think of all the names you'll see. Saw house is the place for me. Nephites, I'm here. Actually works. You're gonna love all the perks. Hit the pool deck with your friends. Here, the fun never ends. Rows of all of our Saudi money. What do they have in common? So much money.
