Déjà vu + This Thing I Can't Describe

The following podcast is a Dear Media production. I'm Benito Skinner. I'm Mary Beth Brown. And this is Rhyme. Two macro bars down the old pipe. You know we're ready to let her rip. So it's the new year. 2026. But we're recording this in 2024, actually. They say time travel doesn't exist. Explain this. Then explain my wife. Time traveler's wife joke. Whoa. Ate it up. Ate it up. Eric Banner. So for me, oh, Eric Banner. She's a kid in some parts. That's what I can't get on board with. There's a lot of those movies. Can I raise you 17 again? Which is really good. There's always this conceit in all those things. It's Jamie Lee Curtis and what's his? Oh, in Chad Michael Murray. Chad Michael Murray. Of course. I haven't seen Freakier Friday yet. Me neither. I was guaranteed Plane, and I'm not seeing it on Missoni for Delta One. It's on Delta. Is it? Or maybe it was on Virgin when we just flew Virgin. Speaking of, I. I just hope everyone's doing good, by the way. Oh, I'm having a full meal right now. I have fruit leather. I have a Go Macro bar. Yeah, girl. And I have water, and I'm just going to be like. And two barrettes. I'm alive. No. I remembered what I wanted to say about having a face, by the way. So. I knew it wasn't me. It wasn't you, but it. Yeah. Just do your thing, and I'll do my thing. Well, I watched Jurassic World. I cried on a flight and watched Jurassic World. What have you fuckers done lately? I really loved Jurassic World. I had so much fun. Jonathan Bailey wore the glasses. The glasses that launched a thousand articles. And Scarlett Johansson was kind of just in it, like, not giving a fuck. I had a really nice time. I love her new vibe. She'll speak on anything, it seems. And I mean this as a total compliment. And we totally took it as such. She's like, yeah, I worked with Woody Allen. And then she said some other stuff that I don't remember. Yeah. But it was cool. She's just kind of like, that was. She's not dodging the question. Yeah. There was one interview, I think. I believe this is true, and I'm, you know, I kind of. I don't need to fact check because I kind of am, like, almost 100% confident that it is. Jennifer Lopez had an interview for a magazine, and she kind of, like, shaded Cameron Diaz in it. But this was during the 90s, and people would just kind of, like, let her rip. I would love to know what she said, just for the historical accuracy of it. But we'll never know. But what's fun is, like, you get to leave the pod with homework, in a way. You get to leave the pod with an idea, and there's nothing more powerful than an idea. And I learned that from the movie V for Vendetta. Oh, see, I learned that from Inception. Well. What you're seeing isn't real. Chief, in fact, it's mine. Mine. Oh, my God. Whoa, I have a neared right now. You guys, I'm not shaming just because I'm, like, literally so tired. But I just have to say it was crazy that Leo DiCaprio didn't tell anyone else on the mission that, like, his ex-wife was kind of haunting his dreams. He's kind of like, so y'all might meet someone, okay? See, I would have woken up and be like, you did not say your wife was a total stunner. Marion Cotillard. Okay, you didn't say shit about your wife being Marion Cotillard. Okay. Because it's an Oscar. Like, are you serious? The fuck? Have you seen the video of her? It's, like, a meme where it's, like, when my crush calls, and it's her, and she's just talking to someone, and then she picks up the phone, and she's, like, with a cigarette, and she, like, puts her hand to her face. She's French. I love her. It's awesome. She's got that what? That je ne sais quoi. Did you know I was going to say that? It's our French episode. I know. No one's ready for, well, they already know my writing. Well, they don't know mine, and neither do you. Having a face. But what did I say? There's got to be a French word for it. I'm writing for the. There's got to be this thing that I can't describe, but, like, succinctly, that's why I can't put in the title. Everyone will know what you mean, though. Well, you'll see. You'll see when I describe it. But having a face, I really want to commit to having one for my whole life and not putting something man-made on there. I want it to be, like, how it was designed, by capital H-I-M. I agree. I think maybe there's. But people aren't going to be used to it. No, I agree. I think there is going to be, like, a neck lift at some point, and I'll be happy. I don't have anything to tell you about it. I'm the same. No. Also, people keep talking about bleph. They do this bleph thing. Is the bleph the eyelid? Mm-hmm. See, I'm fine to let that droop. I think it's going to be smoldering. But for me, it's going to be neck. I just want to see where it goes without intervention. I do get Botox, but I'm just saying, like, I would like to keep most of my features. I do like them. I would like to keep my features. You know, Duddy's only had lip filler. Of course. That's it, though. Yeah. Yeah. She goes two full syringes. Well, you know my plan, which is we're going to write a sleep story. We're going to do one episode, maybe in season three, but it might have to wait, where we write a 40-minute sleep story about a day in the life of Duddy. Oh, my God. It's going to be, I'll turn in overcompensating. Eight scripts, done, and then this is my. Victory lap. Yeah. Stream of consciousness. I can't imagine all the things she'd get up to at a mall during Christmas, or just at a Christmas party, even. Oh, my God. A Christmas party. A fertile ground. Oh, my God. I mean, her going, I always knew I was a hot toddy. To every person she talks to. That reminds me of something important. What? Yeah, if you can drink that water, that's hot. I went to an event last night. Yep. I said it. You went to two events this week. I went to two events this week. And then you took me out to dinner like a pimp. Yeah. Well, I had full glam. What was I going to do? Not take you to dinner? I showed up. I would never not take you to dinner. Have you ever written your friend a sex scene in your show, showed up at dinner, and she pays for the dinner? I was hanging out with Anthony, so I had to make it right. Oh, I know. Total doll. I went to this event last night, which was really fun. The past apps were Steak Tartare, Tuna, and Deviled Eggs. Delicious. Wow. Risky business. Ooh. In a loud event, when you have to talk really close to people. I just felt like, what's going on? I think it's them playing with us. But it was really delicious, so I kept eating it. But yeah, then I was like, I'm spewing odors. I don't even know if I can say it, because I just, I like, oh my God. But the smell of it. I love someone at one of those things when they've eaten, like, truffle fries. I know. I'm sorry. I'd rather be on a cruise ship for two years. No, people's odors lately, it's not even, you know, it's bad breath, and it's stinkiness. It's that stank. And you know what? And my God, the perfume. At least three people last night had the perfume on. I almost, I almost worked up the courage to say, what is that that you're wearing? But I just couldn't do it. I couldn't get the word out. Sometimes you really, it's such a, it's a crapshoot if it's, wait, where did crapshoot originate from? It's crapshoot. Crapshoot? Yeah. But crapshoot. Crapshoot's cool too. No, fuck you. I love teaching you. Crapshoot? Why'd you say crapshoot? Isn't craps where you're like, red. Put 20 on red. Oh. I don't know. I don't know. I said this so confidently. I was like, I don't know. And we have no way of knowing. A crapshoot, I think, is kind of cool. Well, that's my name restaurant. Well, that's crab at a photo shoot. Oh, yeah. That was what came to me. Good. There's a French word for that too. I don't even know what I was going to say. It's a total crapshoot. Oh, if when you're complimenting someone's perfume, if it really is like that you like it or it's just like, I simply have to comment on it because it's consumed me. Right. It's in me at this point. Well, it's in my biome. One person was like, I asked them because I was like, what's that scent? Because I just genuinely was like, the fuck do you have on? Like, this I got to know. And they were like, I make it myself. In my bones, I just thought, I know. No, I know. So I don't know if that's your, if you should leave it to the professionals. Yeah. Leave it to the men in the lab. Totes, please. Leave it to the lab. My love. We're going to do less referencing audience feedback next season, next year, 2026. I guess this year. I think we're too self-referential. What do you mean by that? We need to let it rip. I'm like, I feel the need to respond to things people say on the pod. We don't have to. I see. We can only if we want to. I don't think I see any of it. Well, I do. And I'm bringing it up. So maybe this is more a note for myself. I think it might be. I don't know if I'm seeing anything. Not really noting me, sis. Wait, what are they saying about my, my. Sister. No, it's just like, oh, I don't like when they do this or like, I see a comment that says this and I'm like, I want to like speak to that. Oh, well, tell me. Now let's like, let's see what. But I can't even think of any right now. I just feel like we talk about it a lot. Like, oh, I saw this on the Reddit, which we are reading. We didn't stop. We're back. We didn't stop. We stopped for. Don't stop posting. It's just like, I don't know if we always need to talk about everything that's said, but I bring the energy. I bring that up. Of course. And I'm bringing it up right now. Well, and I'm glad you are. Let it out. It's a new year. Let's start it fresh. Fresh, clean slate. Come to it fresh. There was something you were saying and I forgot, but whatever. Was it about deviled eggs by any chance? My index finger has, it's long, as long as a nail is gone. Look where I'm seeing white. That's progress for me. It's a little tip. So just as a reminder in the new year, this is why I am here and Missy and you the fuck aren't. And you don't have a podcast. Duddy has one nail. It's Coke nail. Of course. But it's not the pinky. It's her pointer. Middle. Even better. Middle. And then she always sucks the whole thing. Puts it all the way back. And she goes, it's not for Coke. It's for cats up. And she sleeps ketchup next to her bed. Of course. And honey mustard. She's a honey mustard girl, by the way. Honey Dijon. I realize if we don't have kids, then that's less cousins in the world. Is that so bad? I don't know. I mean, who knows? In my family, yeah. You know what's crazy? I think some of the people who don't want kids. Should have them. They actually would be good parents. Because they'd be like, you know, thoughtful and stuff. Those sometimes when people are just like, I want kids. They'll say that so boldly. And I think, well, I hope I don't come back in a second life. Right. I don't. want to be your kid. Or I don't want to meet them. Yeah. Well, that too. I don't. Yeah. Of course that too. But yeah, sometimes I feel like the, the people that I'm like, Oh God, you'd be such a good mom. They're like, Oh, absolutely not stressful. And I'm like, well, cause you're being so thoughtful. I don't know. Yeah. Who knows? I haven't written something off, but I haven't written it on. That's like how I think if you want to be president, you shouldn't be allowed to run and we should elect presidents by popular demand. And who am I writing in? Jon Stewart. Perfect. I mean, imagine if we did, he totally didn't want to do it. I was realizing it's so funny. You bring him up. I realized I had a huge crush on him as a kid from big daddy. He had such a sexiness in that. Oh my God. Yeah. He popped in every now and then in the end he adopts, he adopts the kid, right? His own kid. Yeah. It's his kid. Oh, it's his. Yeah. I remember when he's engaged to Leslie Mann and he's like this one night in Buffalo or whatever. I loved the friction between Adam Sandler and Leslie Mann. And then I remember that being like a really great dynamic. Yeah. And then, Oh, that, his cutie, his cutie girlfriends with the voice. Yeah. She had that sweet voice. I think he called her tits McGee in that. That might've been the first time I heard of tits McGee because Leslie Mann, when we first heard tits McGee. Yeah. What an amazing apartment. What I would give. Mine has that kind of. It does. Ooh, it really does. If someone said, okay, a cab's going to run over your foot, but you're going to be kind of set for like a few years. Would you do it? I probably would. He seemed fine. When did you think of that? When I watched Big Daddy. Oh. Because he sues the cab. So he works at a toll booth. How recently did you see this? You really. I've seen this. I had on VHS. I've watched it so many times. Okay. Cause we did too, but I'm like, for some reason we were a Happy Gilmore family, golfers, of course. We did a little rotation, Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, Big Daddy. Ben Stiller as the nursing home doctor is, it's one of those performances that is stuck in my bones. I could recite every line. Yeah. It goes, Oh, your finger church. No, your back's going to hurt. Cause you just pulled landscaping duty. It's sort of, it's adjacent to heavyweights. Do you see heavyweights? His performance in that. It's about like a fat camp and he plays like the psycho trainer that gets brought in. That's where lunch has been canceled due to lack of hustle. Oh, a hundred percent. Well, of course, dodgeball was also. It's very similar. Yeah. But there's one line reading in heavyweights, pasta primavera. It's really funny. I love that you can laugh with yourself. And I do want to, you know what, if we're going to get self-referential, let's do it. What did someone say? I laughed at my joke of she's trying to get into your knickers. Yeah. Yeah. Well, someone said the way he cracks up laughing at his own joke. I only crack up at knowing Edward's about to crack up. Yeah. I know that that's an energy thing. You're not in the room with us. I can't stress enough writing these scripts. I literally, I'm just completely dead in the face. Although sometimes I'll, I'll read your guys' pitches and then I'll giggle to myself. You have a little chuckle. I was going to say, maybe we should set intentions for the year. I look dead. You don't. And that's another thing we're not going to do. No, don't let me. But it's not, it's not necessary. Let them. Quince, quince, the magical fruit. The more you eat, the more you do. Remember when people do that at school? I hated that. I hated that. And yet here we are. And yet it's still, it's ringing in my ears. And yet you just done it on the record. What are we doing tonight? I don't know yet. Do you have plans? I kind of do, but we'll talk. Why do you have plans? Because I got a text from someone who's visiting. Girl, you told me to come to New York City. I thought you were going to show me a good time. Wait, I want to do that. I want to visit people in cities and go, I thought you were going to show me a good time. It's like a Wednesday. Starting the year with a wardrobe refresh. Oh, I wish. I'm fucking stuck in hotels.

Well, I want to make another season of honest, beautiful, sexy television. No, I want to be really present when we're shooting everything. I think last time I was at times, but then I would also just be like, oh my God, I'm so worried and stressed. And I think I just really want to enjoy it. So being more present this year. Yeah. And yeah. And you know, more gratitude. Yeah. And more fruit leather. And I was going to say more fruit leather. Give me some. I'll chew the other end. I don't care about that. Just now there's less. I do. I would like to see Rosalia live. Oh, we could do like, oh, I could have said like purses. Yeah. Okay. You could have said purses. And if that's what you want on the record. I would say purses. You know, that's like how I'll end my life, right? Like I'll be saying shit like that on my way out. Purses. Purses. I hope. Wait. Please. I know a Baroni will be in the hospital when I pass on. You have to remind me. She'll be a nurse in figs. I know. My last words. Purses. Are we even funny anymore? You are. I don't know. I'm over it. No, I don't think I've been funny for a few weeks on this. We'll ask. I'm sure they'll let us know. They will. But we won't bring it up. I don't think you thought I was funny. Are you? Don't. Don't do that. Don't do that. That's crazy. Welcome to the new year. You guys. I also would like to be really proud of my performance when I shoot Galaxy Brain. Of course. My Netflix special. Yeah. And then I would like to follow the joy this year. Just have a lot of moments of joy and continue prioritizing having fun. Oh, chase me. Yay. The joy's right here. The joy can't, what is it? Oh. You can't lose the joy because the joy's you. The joy ain't going anywhere. They can't take the joy with them when you are the joy. No, I think the magic is straight guys giving me attention. So they can take it away. It's not me. They could easily strip you of that. I'm not the magic. Can I just say? I'm not the magic. 100%. It's straight guys giving me attention. That's a good point. Yeah. I love that. And thank you for sharing. So today I will be writing for Deja Vu. As I like my fingers, which I do. And some people don't do that. I do. I think this, you've been kind of chomping. I think this is going to be really fun for them. I'm sorry if you don't like that. No, no, no. I think they're going to enjoy it regardless. Even if they hate it. I think it's cool. It's different. If you love it, you're welcome. If you hate it, that's exposure therapy. And again, all I can say is you're welcome. Of course. This week I will be writing for something I can't describe. And if you want, I can go first and I can just finally describe it to you. Sorry. Chomping at the bits. Wait, where are we going? Who cares? Ride. So, you know, I'm observant and perceptive. Of course, both. I love being a witness to other people. Something that I really enjoy doing when I'm in either an Uber or this actually happened when I was being driven to overcompensating from where we were living to the set. I like looking at the console and I like seeing what the Uber drivers or what the drivers have saved their significant other as in their phone. So, I get chills thinking about it. It is so stinking cute. One of the drivers went overcompensating. He had his wife saved as my one and only with the heart emoji. That's what I have you saved as. I know. And that means the world. And then I was in an Uber the other day and it was just. It was my baby with the heart emoji and a picture of her came up and he did decline the call. And I want to be like, you don't have to do that for me. Like, you should follow the joy and answer maybe or I don't know. Maybe you're in a fight. This is drug dealer. Yeah. And that could be the case too. Yeah. But I've seen all kinds of like my better half, one true love. Like, it's just so, it's so like intimate to see something like that. This is so not what I thought we were going to get from you. No. What an incredible way to start the year. I just think it's really sweet. And it's like, it's an eye and it's a peek into their, not only like who they are at their rawest, but like, just like what a beautiful thing to like have that partner and be like, I'm going to save them as something special. Well, this must be crazy for you because I, I feel like you're very formal. What I found is that I, I entered phones with whimsy and I feel like I was not met with the whimsy back. Like my sister, we call her like kitty sometimes. So she had like kitty with kitten emojis. And then my other sister, I used to call Lorelai because her name is Laura Elizabeth. Gilmore. Gilmore. I love that. Wait, I need that. That's such, that was insane. That's like the funniest thing you've ever done, I think. I have to sit with that. Sorry. Laura Elizabeth Gilmore. God, no wonder I'm totally obsessed with you. And don't bleep it for once. I never, I never thought that would go over so well. No, sometimes it's those ones that stick out to me. Yep. So I just created this nickname of Lorelai and just like, she kind of hated it, but that's what I called her. Right. But I had those in my phone with like a bunch of, I was playing with it. And then I put the worst photo I could have the person up like, and then everyone kind of matched me with update contact. And it, things got really business like. Yeah, it got really, really formal. I'm like, wow, you guys really sterilized this. I would love to put like, it should just say wife. The wife. Right. When you call with Darth Vader. Er. You know. Yeah. I would love that. Oh my God. We should change Mac and our phones to money. So it's like, oh, money calls. Money's calling. That's so money. Oh, money's calling. Mac is so money. Well, I remember. I remember when you first saved my number in your phone, you had Mary Beth as one word and you didn't have any emojis. So I remember specifically seeing, I think we were drunk or maybe at that Halloween party we've gone to a couple of times where I remember we were discussing it and I was like, how come everyone else has a million emojis at the end of their name? And then we went in and we added a bunch, but you're right. I do a more formal type thing. And I want someone, I can only dream of one day saving someone in my phone as something a little different. I want to do baby love. Baby love. The wife is so classic. I think the wife is so amazing. It just sucks because I can never, like my dream would be to do a photo dump of like all the ones that I've seen. I can, I'm not quick enough on the draw with that when the phone call comes in. So then I'm like, I could just have my camera out the entire time I'm in an Uber just in case, but I'm, I think I can't probably commit to that. I'll have it out just as all the time. And then just, you know, always on the table, it's face up. And I'm like, oh my God, look who's calling. I'm like, I'm having this thing. I'm not my mom's screensaver right now. Like grandkids are tricky and it's awesome. I'm happy they're here. But like, I'm kind of no one's wallpaper. So if I am your wallpaper, please reach out. You're in the rotation with Pinky right now. Oh, really? You, Brandon and Thomas at Charlie's wedding. Oh, I was your, oh my God, I was your wallpaper first. I change it every few days. To be a lock screen. Like, it's so cool. It's just, and I, I can't wait to meet a guy who puts you as his lock screen. That's just. Your boyfriend. Whoever you date next. Yeah, it's me. No, I'm just like, that will be so. I know. His phone. If I see that. When I knew that my last boyfriend was going to dump me, I asked him like, what's your phone background? Cause I was just getting weird vibes. I was like, did you change it? Cause it was me and Pinky. And he was like, no, why would you ask that? And I was like, cause you're being fucking weird. He hadn't changed it, but I know he probably had thought about it. He's of course. It's very, it's, it's an, it's an indicator of something. Not that I know how to do the button that gets you to the changing the wallpapers, but every now and then it does it. And the one that it slides to is you with Katy Perry for me or Charlie. And then there's a Lana one. I've had interesting ones. And then I have like a dog that died so long ago. And Apple is just like. Yeah, Tank. They will not stop showing me Tank. I'm not laughing. It's just, I like that your dog's name was Tank. He was so, he was such a bozo. I miss him so much. He was so studly and stupid. He was incredible. He was also like a total glutton for food, which I just thought was funny. You know, we shared like a love of snacks. Yeah. But Apple's just kind of like, remember? This fucking dog that died of cancer and broke your heart. Like they refuse to let me. You can hide the dog. Sometimes you have to hide people, which I've done. Of course they do that. Yeah. You can hide them. They haven't come up with a way to unhide them. So I was trying to post a photo dump when we had Edward on the podcast and I went to people and I was like, well, how do I unhide? Cause obviously you're going through a breakup. You're going to hide the person. Yeah, of course. There's no, no, even on the Mac forums, I couldn't figure it out and you know, I checked, so I forgot my password on my laptop and just in case anyone has ever. Had this happen, it's kind of the one thing that Apple's like, uh, our hands are tied. You have to reset the thing. So I had to go to world trade. Can I just say love to everyone there? I had the best time at the Apple store. Everyone was the total doll or they genuinely want to help you. I didn't mind the reset. Yeah. Gave me a new wallpaper. I had to redownload final draft and all this, oh, this business stuff. We'll talk about it offline. So tough, babe. So tough. It sucked. So tough. But yeah, I guess it, I mean, we were in, we were in high school in the time of like. Ringtones and ringback tones and things like that. You could really personalize. There was more flair. I love this because also, you know what it is? I think the romantic is coming back in you and I've waited for it to return that romantic whimsy. Yeah. Like up the romance. If you have a, if you have a lover, a significant other, even if it's only been, I mean, what would daddy do? Daddy would save that guy in her phone. The minute they meet. He's he'd look over and it says boy, number 36, I'm number 29. I didn't understand that line. And I still don't do this day. There's been 29 other people that they've brought, that they're saying that there's like, or their dad. He's dated 20, he's dated 29 other people, 28 other people. Yeah, they're getting in her head. I love that they're like, oh my God, you know how we'll fuck up this woman. Like talk about dad's body count. Like give her dad's body count. That's the one line where I'm like. Adults write kids. It's so elevated. It's elevated beyond even me at 34. I couldn't figure it out. So all I would say is that next time you're in the car with a driver and if you maybe don't want to be scrolling on your phone, you just keep an eye on that little console, that little screen. And you just see it. If something cute. I don't know. It feels so like warm and fuzzy to me to be like, wow, that person, I don't know the relationship dynamic, but this is a straight man who has saved his partner and his phone as something totally adorable. Let me say something. Yeah. It's like, just, it's really beautiful thinking of like the wife seeing that. I know. It probably means so well to her. I know. That's great. I know. And you're right. There isn't, we don't have an English word for it. Maybe there's a French word for, for, I don't even know. Sweet background. I still don't totally know. I don't know how to describe it. You described it as. How drivers save or even just people. It's like how people save their significant others. But the way I've witnessed it so much is, is by being in cars with people. I wonder if women would feel comfortable doing that with the guy. Cause it's like, you never know if he's going to cheat or like ruin your life. I would love to see what people have their significant others saved as. I think it's really sweet and it's very vulnerable. And if you feel comfortable sharing, feel free to post a screenshot and tag ride the pod. Also, baby, sorry, we're recording at midnight, AKA 630, but what I'm thinking. Is also maybe go on your phone and change it. Yeah. Have a little whimsy special. I think at this point it would be annoying for me. Cause I'm just like, so I call you so much that like my brain just couldn't, it would take a while. Well, that's why I still have the photo of you as you, you as Courtney on Halloween, because I can change it now. I love that photo. That's me at my like perfect form. That's like true. Like I'm, I really saw I'm in a flow state. Yeah. Oh, I it's something so, oh, sometimes I get a wig on or some nails. There he is. ♪ Shine on me ♪ Me in the dark. Tell me I look beautiful underneath the stars. Head on your chest. That's my favorite part. Her. Me or her. Me or her. Me or her. Girl, it's 10 a.m. on January the 5th. So Her is the only dating app actually built for sapphics by sapphics. Yeah. And it's perfect for winter restart season. I mean, think about the cold weather, the loneliness. Cuffing. Coming out of hibernation. Trying again and wiping the slate clean. You know what you should do? You look at someone in a bar and you say, hold me. It's not illegal. And then three months in you go, you're losing me. Well, of course, maybe two. Okay. So here's the thing. Winter dating, it can be like really tough. I mean, Lord knows like I'm taking a huge fucking break because I have to. But I think. I would say January is like a sapphic reactivation peak though. Yeah. You've been saying that. You said that the entire time we were in Puerto Rico. Well, it's messy hope season. And pink. It's when everyone decides to try again, including you. I think you should put yourself out there. I'm serious. Look at me. I'm serious. I'm not doing it. So. I guess what we're saying all in all really is her gets it right. Here's my favorite thing. I love when queer people make things for queer people and straight people don't make it for us. Trying to guess what we want. That's why her is different than other dating apps. And it's not just swiping. It's real queer community. And it's IRL dating and queer community events. It's like, oh, I'm so excited to go on a date with my best friend. It's like, I'm so excited to go on a date with my best friend. There's even red flags and green flags. So I guess what I'm saying is download her and see if it speaks to you. See if it makes you excited to get back into dating. Who knows? Maybe when I'm ready to start dating again, you'll see me on there. Exactly. Try her this winter. It's sapphic restart season. And her.

I don't know. We'll see if the Baronees can find that out. Yeah. I couldn't possibly know. No one could, but I love that part. When that plays. But I love partition. This sex. Chivity. It's Nina. I would play it if it wouldn't get fucked up on YouTube. We have to sing everything now. We can't play the songs because if we play a song in an episode, they won't let us monetize it. They love the singing. No one's saying a thing about it. That's one piece of feedback we haven't gotten. They're loving the singing. Yeah. Well, they haven't said they don't like it. Exactly. So I can only assume they're loving it. Sometimes they're like, what is that song? And it's like, that's just from the dome. Right. I need a fidget spinner because these clips being here, I'm like, everyone watching is just seeing that I have this problem. I think they're going to feel good by it. Okay. Speaking of Beyonce, Deja Vu. So Deja Vu, there's kind of a way to describe it. And fortunately, there's this perfect little combo of words. Or maybe it's one word. Is it one word? I think it's two. I think it's Deja. It's Deja Vu. Yeah. Okay. So Deja Vu. I assume everyone knows what this is. Like, is it weird if I describe it? I think you should describe it as you think of it. Okay. So to me, Deja Vu is on some the fuck. I'm good as fuck. It's very interstellar, kind of. It's so interstellar. It's so like, I've been here before. So I can't remember the first time I experienced it, but I remember specifically this one time. I was in fourth grade, and I was looking at the board. And school, I remember having Deja Vu, because the days really do just come on. Yeah, on loop. The days keep coming, and they don't stop coming. But I remember being like, holy fuck, that's crazy. And then learning about it later of like, oh, this is like a phenomenon. Right. This is a sensation. This is a phenomenon. Yeah. So Deja Vu is this feeling of like, oh my God, this exact thing has happened before, and I feel like I'm back at that place. It is the time traveler's wife, which is funny. It's funny that you brought that up. Right. Because it does feel like that. All of a sudden, you're like, the fuck? Yeah. And it's so- It's disorienting. It gives me goosebumps, the fact that it's like as close as we get to magic, I swear to God. It is so, like when you really feel it too, I get such a rush from it. I'm like- I like it. And there's not one time it's happened to me that I didn't need to tell every single fucking person in the vicinity. Oh, you have to say it. I just got Deja Vu. I can be alone in a room, and I say it out loud. I got it today. No. Leaving my apartment. And then I shot a sketch yesterday with Kai. On camera? I get it all the time. I don't know why. Well, our cameraman, Michael, who is totally fabulous, in the middle of us shooting. I mean, we were not in a take, because that would have been funny if he had said it in the middle of a take. He just goes, well, I just got Deja Vu. So I've heard a theory about what it is, which is that our brain files memories in order, but sometimes it files them out of order. So it's actually your brain filing the memory you're making right in that moment, like as something that's happened in the past. That's what I've heard, but I don't know if that's based on anything. Oh, because to me, it's like you're back on, like, you've tread this path before. Before, no, I think it's sort of inexplicable. And obviously, to me, I love this because it's sort of, it really just casts a light on the limits of science. We can't explain what it is. It's a universal experience, I think. Actually, I'd be curious if other cultures get it, like ones that, you know, are totally unrelated to Western culture, which I learned that's what we're talking about. That's what we are, right? I am so glad. And I'm even not totally sure as I'm saying that. No, yeah, but. I think we are the Western world. Of course. But I, it's just like, you know, it's like how do planes fly? We don't know. No. What is Deja Vu and what causes it? We don't know. I'm sure there's been huge studies, I'm sure, released and more to release this year, of course. Well, yeah, I'm going to do one. Yeah, but I, I can't stress enough. Try to get it today. It'll just make you feel a little goosies. And you know what I love about it? There's no, you could never. You could never predict when it's going to hit. But it does all the time on set. Like, that's so funny you got it on set because with cameras and stuff, during overcompensating, I will say I got it all the time. I got it a couple of times during overcompensating, for sure. Yeah, because also like all the times I was in the dorm room thing, I would just be like, whoa, sorry, guys. The days are blending. Ooh, it's bringing me back. Anyone else just dizzy right now? But yeah, the Deja Vu of it all. I just think it's so delicious. And unlike saying God bless you, I think announcing when you have Deja Vu, is fun. It's fun for everyone in the room. Well, it's cool because it reminds everybody that like, that could be me. Like, and it probably will be again, but I could never know when. And that's what Deja Vu is so cool about. It just hits you. And thank God the French sat down and they came up with a fucking term for this. Deja Vu. Deja Vu. Because there's a lot of things, I guess they don't add to the French language. Like, it's sort of locked in. Whoa, okay. So they don't add any other words? That's what I think my roommate in college told me. Okay, whatever this first summit was, they really just kind of got it. As many as possible. They were like, fuck it. They were writing on a chalkboard. They're like, you know that feeling? Yeah, that feeling when? And you kind of go like that. And you're like, this must have happened before. And you feel it in your boobs. Yeah, that's how that conversation went. Well, the whole thing was in English because then they, yeah. And then they translated it all to French. But yeah, they don't add words. So it's just cool that this was covered in that first sort of round. That first brushstroke. This was after four. Including Deja Vu. They said spoon, fork. Spoon, knife. Spoon, knife, fork. And then they're like, you know, that's really good. This is, you have sex. We have sex. It's Deja Vu. Oh my God. I'm thinking about the fucking French fuck that left a fucking line on top of her book. Here's my thing. She couldn't call the restaurant. I know you've said it before. Call them and say you're going to be late. I know. I wanted to ride for Crashing Out today. And I wanted to do an episode where we tear down this whole studio. But the second you saw your friend. You said not to. The second you saw your friend. You weren't Crashing Out anymore because all it takes is conversation. That's not true. Oh my God. You know what? I've gotten Deja Vu in your apartment. I think I'm going to get it a lot now that I've moved to New York. Yeah. All the nights are boring. and together. Oh yeah. We're going out tomorrow. We are. And I hope I look fucking cute. Okay. So for any of the dermatitis girlies out there, I'm sending love. And I hope by the time this comes out, I will have been on doxycycline for a month. And I hope I'm a totally different person. Yes. I'm going the antibiotic route. I've got nowhere else to go. I've got no one else to turn to. So here I go. Shout out to Mary Beth for linking me with her derm, her MD. Who is pure of heart. My favorite thing is the derm was like, you're on this other medication. If you took this with it, you would have brain bleeding. I'm telling you right now, I swear to God, I'm true because I know you're friends with Mary Beth and you're really intense. Please do not take these two drugs together. And I was like, yes, ma'am. Okay. I was like, fine, but for clear skin. Oh my God. But someone commented because they were like, why are you so red? Did you go like, did you do a chemical peel or go skiing? Someone commented on the, on one of the ride episodes. I was like, no, they DM'd me. I didn't see that. They DM'd me. Yeah. I would have seen that. Well, I saw that and I just went, you know what? Maybe it's just some dermatitis. I'm getting used to winters again. Okay. And also why don't you just fucking kiss me? You fucking idiot. That took a turn I wasn't expecting. Yeah. Whoa. No kidding. I was going to pretend to have deja vu. Maybe you can will it. A little bit. Try to will it everyone. I think there's a movie called Deja Vu with Denzel Washington. If there's not, I'm pitching it. But yeah, that's my big. Pitch it right now. That's my huge spiel. Oh, a man, a man who's lost his entire family. I knew you were going to say that. You knew that? I knew it. Go on. To COVID. Didn't see that coming. No. A man who's lost his It was him. Who died? Whoa. Interesting. Okay. It's got a Shutter Island lens. Totally. Whoa. Oh my God. Remember when I, there was a group of people over at my house and I put on Shutter Island and then I went and took a nap. You can do whatever you want in this life. Free will is remarkable. That was my infamous shower where I screamed. Oh my God. And I, I literally, I pictured in that moment, like a fire, a fire hydrant blasting you. I was like, oh God, it got her. She got hit. Yeah. The water hit her. No, I was just scared by a picture. I think 2026 is going to be fabulous. Everyone. Have you ever been scared by a picture? Yeah, of course. That was what I heard. And I went, oh, we lost her. The concept of that. That's so powerful. Well, it was, the photo was hung up in a way that it was just like exactly. It was at a person's height. Yeah. But it was a shaved head. So it wasn't someone that you would. Yeah. Frosted. But yeah, we kind of, so after you've locked the door, we kind of invite people to go into that bathroom and people are showering in it. That's like us as hosts. Well, it's gay guys with buzz cuts. That is a thing. Gay guys with buzz cuts have all access to your guys' bathroom. Right now, do you think I could pull off a buzz cut? A hundred percent. I think you could pull off anything. That's really nice, actually. Like, thank you. That's so sweet. People don't see this side of you. You should show it more. Okay. Let's get into ride or die. I don't want to. I don't want them to see it. You know what you are, Benny? Hmm. I f*** it. Your words, not mine. Babe, you're my ride or die. Ride or die. I ride for that thing you can't describe because boy, I'm glad you did it. Thank you. I know it's long-winded. I'll talk to my French constituents. It's long-winded. And see if they can hit you with a new, the first word in a thousand years. Ever since people at Rave Lucia. No, they invented the words Lady Marmalade. Oh my God. And then they stopped. They said, we've done it all. Did you know I saw Moulin Rouge on Broadway? I did. They opened with it. That's why it's been on my mind. It was so hard not to. I wanted to just do little twist snaps in my seat. You know what would be interesting is if twins get deja vu for stuff each other's done or something. I would be curious. You know I wrote for Twin Telepathy. Exactly. So I wonder if this calls into it. And I told that story of my mom. My mom, it's crazy. Like, it's these like little, it's like feelings. That's what I love. I love like a little. Well, I love science, but science has limits. It hasn't explained Twin Telepathy. How do you explain the magic of what this is? It's not something you can buy. It's called neutralized attraction. Neutralized attraction. It's being attracted, but it's neutral. That AI robot or script or code that made that video didn't know how many Instagram comments they were generating. It probably did. Can I say something? It probably did. Can an AI get deja vu? Then it ain't human, honey. It ain't human. Unfortunately, AI kind of got me recently. I saw this like, if this one movie had been made dark fantasy and I was like, oh, that's kind of cool. But that's what it kind of should be made for. Or that's what it should be used for. I think. But then it's using fossil fuels, right? It's using a lot of water. We're going to run out of water soon. Oh, AI's using water? Oh, yeah. Oh, okay. Because they have to cool down the like servers and stuff. No one had told me that. Oh, babe. Let's knock it off. It's so bad. It's so, so bad. God, why do we keep doing that? I don't know. Oh, my God. Yeah, I. I was so thirsty before I took a shower yesterday. Oh, I was going to write for showering, but sitting down on the ground during. But I just thought people would think I was like really not doing well. Hey, next week, babe. That's such a good point. I write for the whimsy, the whimsy of you, because I think there's the whimsy returning. The romantic girl that I once knew. Only two more months and you'll maybe let someone talk to you. We'll see. I write for Deja Vu. I think it's such a powerful feeling. And it's, I don't know, like, yeah. It's more than just a feeling. Seeing is believing. Believing is saying. Sydney Sweeney. That's Sydney Sweeney in the Santa Claus. The Santa Claus. I'm tired, but excited. Just generally for the new year. I just like, yeah, I think it's cool. We have a word for it. I love the sensation of it. It's never really freaked me out, I guess. I don't think I've had it for like really deeply negative experiences. It's just like, it's just like so mundane. Well, I'm glad because. If anything, it lets us appreciate the mundane. I agree. It lets you realize. Also, it could wake you up of like, if you're getting it too much, maybe you need to change your whole shit up. But here's my thing. It's never, it's not scary. I think that's just trauma. That's PTSD, which feels very different. And I know the French thought of something. So you're not writing for PTSD? Of course not. I'm writing for just like, whoa, I've been in this kitchen before, but I haven't. The hell? So thanks, everyone. Sounds like in 2026, we're even smarter than we were in 2025. I would love to continue to get dumber. We have so many surprises for 2026. See, this is something I would do. And I'm going to do it one last time. But I posted because there's this ad on the subway that says IQ is 50% genetic. And it's an ad for pickyourbaby.com. So I posted that I was going to go in and shoot. I'm going to introduce a gay baby with a medium to low IQ so that we'd enjoy each other's company. And people go, is this shade to Benny? And I go, no, I'm the one with the low IQ. That's why I would enjoy the person. Oh, so I'm catching strays in this last little thing you needed to hit us with? It's just like, why would you assume that? I'm Simicum loudly. I'm serious. Georgetown, check the freaking files, dude. I'm a good student. I would love to, like, go try to get your trans. Do we find out that there was no Benito Skinner at Georgetown? But there was it. I'm looking right into the camera. But there was a Duddy. There was a Duddy. Duddy Skinner. Duddy Gilmore. Duddy Gilmore. Don't Gilmore me. I couldn't. It was so crazy to, like, the layers of that joke. Is it a Gilmore Girls joke? Is it a happy Gilmore joke? Whoa. Do you know what I mean? Whoa. Yeah. Totally. We're going to hit you with more zingers like that. We only have. We only have four more episodes this season. Whoa. So savor the flavor. Ever heard of that? Savor the start. This from the top. That's crazy. And then we have to go shoot this freaking second season. I don't. Can I say that? Whatever. I mean, they know we're going to film it at some point. It's not Marvel. No one's like. We're going to film it at some point. We have to make it. We're not saying when. Yeah. Oh, I'm so excited. We love you guys. Thanks for sticking with us. We hope you had a fabulous New Year and holiday season. We hope you're ready to take on the year. There's only 51 weeks left. 51 and a half weeks left. Come on. Come on. We've got this. Hey, sister. So sister. So sister. So sister. They came up with a word for threesomes. That was on. That was important to the French. That's. Oh, or. It's crazy feeling when you've been somewhere and you've you've felt it before. And it's all through your bones and your threesomes. And then at the end, they went. Je ne sais quoi. Love you. Oh, my accent. Benny B. Bye-bye from the road. Then you go!
