The podcast presents a nostalgic, humor-driven deep dive into its own internal language and cultural references through the "Encyclopedia of Ride." Hosts Benito Skinner and Mary Beth Barone recount the evolution of inside jokes, slang terms, and recurring phrases like "Taika," "Faita," "Love You Kid," and "Ribbit," which reflect both their personalities and the show’s unique community. The episode blends self-deprecating humor with serious observations on interpersonal dynamics, urging listeners to confront uncomfortable behavior with direct honesty. It features product endorsements for brands like Senorita, Bonza, and Jones Road, all framed as part of the show’s playful, irreverent culture. References to Harry Potter (“Turf Hogwarts”) and internet phenomena are included as part of a broader cultural lexicon. The hosts emphasize the importance of community, fan engagement, and shared experience, with a clear call to action for listeners to return to the content, especially after the release of a planned Part 2. The episode ultimately celebrates the show’s legacy and the collective identity formed through decades of shared humor, inside jokes, and unfiltered conversation.
The following podcast is a Dear Media production.
I'm Benito Skinner.
I'm Mary Beth Barone.
And this is Rhyme.
Come on, Cryptog!
We're not talking about that on here, but also just welcome to the encyclopedias.
Welcome to the encyclopedias.
We're recording.
So the bulk of this episode is going to be something we recorded a couple of years ago
when we wanted to just have a resource.
We're excited in a lot of ways.
It's just like what the things we say mean because it's so much brain rot.
So we did two episodes.
We thought it would fit in one, but it ended up being two episodes.
Encyclopedia of Ride Part 1 and Encyclopedia of Ride Part 2.
I'm sure our voices sound a little different.
We've matured.
We've had a coming of age since then.
And we recorded those in Texas, if I recall correctly, in Austin, Texas.
It's a rerun, but hopefully you'll enjoy the walk down memory lane
and things that maybe you've even forgot about and things we've even forgot about.
Yeah, and maybe things that we haven't brought up in a long time.
But if you're kind of starting from the beginning, I think it probably would be helpful.
Oh, a new era I want to announce just before the end of the year.
As we look into 2021.
And we're thinking about interactions with people.
What I'm going to do this year is I'm going to go,
if someone says something to me that's completely like out of pocket,
I'm going to go, why would you say that to me?
Oh my God, I have chills.
You know that I did that this week.
I know.
Sometimes you don't know that.
Before I fall asleep, I'm rerunning all of the things that we've said to each other.
Good.
That day, week, month, year.
Wait, me too.
And I thought about you saying that to someone.
And I thought, we need to be reacting like that more.
You know how not me that is too.
It was shocking.
But I just had this feeling.
People shouldn't.
You shouldn't be able to get away with anything.
You know why?
And everything.
I had walked 20 blocks and I felt incredible.
And I was blasting Sky Ferreira.
And I was just like, you've ruined that for me.
So I have to bring this up.
Like, this is insane behavior.
Yeah.
It was great.
I felt really powerful after.
Someone says something and you just go.
Also, there was an interaction I had this year where I just wish I had called out in
the moment what was happening instead of thinking about it and it weighing on my soul and spirit
for months to come.
Yeah.
And I just wish I said, like, you're being weird to me right now.
And I don't know why I'm going to leave.
But like, it's weird.
And you're making me feel weird.
And you're making me feel bad about myself.
Yeah.
I would go through a breakup and then have interactions with people after.
And you'll find that pretty consistently.
You want to go.
The fuck is going on right now?
I go, what's happening right now?
Hey, the fuck is going on?
So that's maybe something you're going to hear a little more.
Yes.
That's on its way.
Duddy is obviously not included in this.
Well, of course.
Or this chick woke up in my house.
Can I just say?
Thank you.
Duddy appreciates all the love, all the support.
She's going hog wild.
Inspire to inspire.
Next year.
Yeah.
But yeah, obviously, come on, come plunk isn't in this.
If you don't know what that means, it doesn't mean anything.
It just was inspired by someone taking a shit.
And I said that.
In your presence.
It's kind of toxic positivity, I would say.
Radical honesty.
But you can say it about anything.
2026.
Yeah, we got this.
And maybe that means narrating your friend taking a shit in front of you.
Yeah.
So enjoy the encyclopedia of Ride.
And all I can say is, wait, where are we going?
Who cares?
Ride.
First, there was Galileo.
Then there was.
Then there was Plato.
Then there was Shakespeare.
And then there was Ride the Pod.
Oh, yeah.
Whoa.
So we've come to.
We've come to an interesting crossroads.
We know that there have been a lot of episodes of this fabulous show.
I mean, what a year, kid.
It's been an amazing year.
And so much of that is due to our incredible listeners, the Barones, who we love so much.
And we're so thankful for every day.
We are truly grateful.
Every single day.
Oh, every single.
It's the first thing.
It's what I pray to every night.
Every night.
And since we have this growing family, I mean, we have more kids than ever.
We decided that it might be good, per Marshall's suggestion, to have an episode where we go
through all the terminology and inside jokes that we have on this podcast, just in case
anybody does want to start in the middle, which we don't advise.
We think it's really, really dangerous.
Because we knew how this will end once we started.
Like, it's very, fuck you, JK.
But it's very.
It's very Harry Potter.
Oh, yeah.
We have the full arc sort of planned out already.
I think she lied about that, too.
She lied about a lot of stuff.
Oh, you saw the ends?
Yeah.
I see your end, sister.
You knew Order of the Phoenix was going to be that bad?
Yeah, Joe.
I'm giving you notes now.
I stopped in the middle of book three.
And that's how big of an ally I am to the trans community.
I stopped reading the middle of book three.
So, fuck you, JK is actually a good place to start.
Yeah.
And Turf Hogwarts.
Oh, my God.
Turf Hogwarts.
So, this is the Encyclopedia of Ride.
Welcome to the Encyclopedia of Ride.
We're assuming only straight guys are listening to this.
So, hey.
Welcome.
Water's warm.
Yeah, what's up, dude?
Fuck.
Yeah.
Wait.
Okay.
So, what this episode will be is just we're going to say as many.
And I know we're going to forget some stuff.
So, we can always do another one of these.
We'll do a part two.
But maybe some things it's good to just have for us.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
Just for the lifers.
So, Turf Hogwarts came out of a reference to JK.
Obviously, we don't support JK and her beliefs about anything, really.
I mean, I don't know what else she believes in.
But I know that I don't agree.
If this is her hot take on the trans community, then I'm good.
I'm good on the rest of it.
I'm checking out of Nocturne Alley, whatever the fuck it is.
So, now we call it Turf Hogwarts.
And you like to say not to bring up Turf Hogwarts, but.
So, that's how you can use it in a sentence.
And we'll give those.
We'll give those examples for each thing.
Yeah.
If I'm going to bring up Harry Potter, which obviously it's a huge part of culture.
There's no denying that.
It's just important to say not to bring up Turf Hogwarts.
But.
Because I'm not condoning Miss Jo.
I know you're listening, Jo.
And Jo is actually the opposite of our next term, which is Taika.
Taika.
Taika Watiti.
Taika is one of the originals.
Taika.
I guess we should maybe start with Faita.
And then it turned into Taika.
Taika.
So, Faita.
It started with us saying Faita the good Faita.
I am Faita the good Faita.
Faita came from actually, this is a lot of origin.
This is kind of Latin.
So, I don't know if anyone's taken Latin.
This is going to be our Latin episode.
It's etymology.
Yes.
I kept saying, I'm fighting the good Faita.
I will fight the good Faita.
And then for some reason, with how my mouth was moving, I just started saying, I will Faita the good Faita.
And it still hits today as if it did that day.
It hits today.
It took me a second to sort of like understand.
It grew on me.
No, I know.
Because at first I was skeptical.
But then there was one time that I heard it where I go, oh, okay, that makes sense.
Yeah.
You went, oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
What a mind.
What a mind.
This happens all the time.
So from Faita, we then move into Taika.
Taika.
So I started saying, I will Faita the good Faita.
I will Baita the good Baita.
I will Daitka the good Daitka.
And then I said, I will Taika Wetidi.
So Taika.
It's an adjective.
Oh, my God.
It's an adjective.
Taika is an adjective.
If you've been to Ride Live, we go through it in depth.
But basically, Taika, it's irreverent.
It's playful.
It's not always good.
No.
And it's sublime.
It's subjective.
Yeah.
So Taika just means like something's Taika.
I don't know.
It's like you just can tell when it is and when it isn't.
You can just tell.
Like, it's just like so obvious.
Things that are Taika, the heptapods, gender neutral bathrooms.
Yep.
The Soho house.
Do you see?
It's just.
No, it can be like totally.
It's just a lot of things.
It's everything everywhere all at once.
It's really hard to explain.
But like when you get it, you get it.
So we're just not going to say more than that.
It's like that's so Taika.
That's so Taika.
Yeah.
So think about it.
And when we say, were you scared?
I was really scared is from America's Next Top Model.
Yeah.
That is a Tyra Banks quote.
Yeah.
So that's also a part of the encyclopedia as well.
I think that's cheating is important to bring up.
So this was a ride that you did.
Yes.
So this was from The New Rules of Cheating dated back a couple months.
I'm not sure which book this was from, but probably Genesis.
Probably.
If I know you, it's Genesis.
Genesis.
So I'm sure a lot of this.
Straight men listening, this is probably the point where their ears are perking up
because they've heard this a lot from their lovers.
I described The New Rules of Cheating, which it's not exactly what you think it is.
It's not just your classic sexual infidelity.
In fact, it's anything but.
It's everything except, I would say.
That's just the tip of the iceberg for cheating.
All the things below the waterline, that's what I'm talking about.
So if you've ever had an ex that's cheating on your current,
if you've had sex before, also cheating,
if you're going to dinner with someone from your past that knew your ex is cheating.
So, you know, you see there are just so many ways to betray your partner.
And I really wanted to alert the masses to this.
And let them know that you could be getting a lot more gifts out of your partner's actions.
A lot more gifts and you yourself might be a rampant cheater.
That's so true.
Because he knows I'm unfaithful and it kills him.
It's sad to know that I am happy with some of the guys.
I can see him crying.
So that's Unfaithful by Rihanna.
Audio jungle.
See, an audio jungle.
That gets us into our next segment.
next bit, which is AudioJungle, which Mary Beth is the woman who says AudioJungle on the royalty
free music library website, AudioJungle.net. AudioJungle.net.
That's like, we're not going to explain that. No, it's just like, sometimes you're just talking
and it's like, AudioJungle. Or if you're singing something, it's like, I don't know the rights.
And I don't want people to think we've licensed these songs. We haven't. We're not going to take
that on. So we have to say AudioJungle. AudioJungle. Looks like it's daddy-daughter time.
I'm doing the ads alone this week. Mary Beth somehow, some way got me to do these alone.
Usually I make her do them alone because men get paid less on the dollar. Okay. So let's get to it.
Bonza. Should I be so insane in these? Maybe I should. It's so early and I'm in a hotel.
I love you all so much. So Bonza,
Bonza is this thing. They've got this new brown rice pasta. It's better than any other gluten-free
pasta on the market. And I really believe that. I'm on a gluten-free journey right now for my skin,
really no other reason. And it's kind of working. I hate to say it, but Bonza, it's not that
gluten-free pasta where it kind of like is like mush. You know what I mean? It's like the sponge.
It's not that. So it's a gluten-free pasta that tastes just like the real thing. Oh my God,
it's so good. And no more mushy gluten-free pasta. It holds up beautifully as leftovers,
reheated. Or if you need to eat it, you can eat it right now. So it's a gluten-free pasta.
I love when guys say that they're meal prepping. Like that's just, that's amazing. Like to think
that far ahead. It's made in Italy. Okay. With just two ingredients, brown rice and chickpeas.
You can find it at major retailers like Whole Foods, Target, Thrive Market, and more. Visit
eatbonza.com and use code ride at checkout for 50% off your first order of pasta or mac and cheese.
E-A-T-B-A-N-Z-A.com.
And use code ride for 50% off your first order of pasta or mac and cheese. That's eatbonza.com
and use code ride at checkout for 50% off your first order of pasta or mac and cheese. I wonder
who came up with the name Bonza. I'm about to Bonza on you. I love you kids. I'll see you in
the next ad. Who knows what I'm going to say today. So her is the only dating app actually
built for sapphics by sapphics.
That is a collection of words I bet you never thought I'd say. Well, here we are. And it feels
really fucking good. Her is perfect for winter restart season, cold weather, loneliness,
huffing, coming out of hibernation, trying again, and wiping the slate clean. Her isn't just swiping.
It's a real queer community. IRL dating and queer community events, vibes, red flags, green flags,
profile prompts, personality forward. I love that this is what girl on girl is. Guy on guy app
are, I would say, completely different from this in every single way. So I love to see this. And
just for anyone who doesn't know what sapphic means, sapphism is an umbrella term for women
loving women. Any women attracted to women or in a relationship with another woman, regardless of
their sexual orientations and encompassing the romantic love between women. So I'm just going
to say download her if you're looking to kind of have a fresh start this next year. Meet a lady
that maybe you'll rock your world. Maybe you'll get married. Maybe you'll date for a month and
hate each other. Maybe you'll date for a month
and hate each other for the rest of your lives. Like, who's really to say? But might as well put
yourself out there and let's put ourselves out there in a safe and gorgeous way in the new year
and really just say what we want, okay? I think we can do all of that on her. I won't be on there.
Mary Beth will be, but you'll all be in my hearts as you do it. So I love you so much.
Try her this winter. It's sapphic reset season. And I've always said that.

ground, they're like, oh my God. And you're like, oh my God, what happened? And they're like,
I just got like some crumbs on the floor. The same reaction of I got stabbed and this person wore this
outfit on the road. I just got like some crumbs on the floor. I just got like some crumbs on the
carpet. Exact same. There's actually no difference. Someone got a bad haircut and someone's been
mutilated. Same experience. Someone's house burned down. Someone's the literal, everything they own
burnt to a crisp, burnt to crispy bacon. Same thing. Oh my God. And I'm like, what could possibly
have happened? And then, oh my God, I just went viral. Just kind of came from that. Yeah. Because
like virality is kind of, it's really hugely important to us. It is. And when you go viral,
you should celebrate it as if.
Your house burned down.
As if someone got killed.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
My fucking pussy.
Pussy is pretty straightforward. It's just another word for pussy.
Oh, straight guys driving right now and they're, they're Ford Broncos. They're so relieved. They're
like, what? Okay, good. I just.
One I can wrap my mind around.
Yeah. They're like, I've been having a lot of interesting sex lately with my girls.
Yeah.
Oh my God. You're fucking my fucking pussy.
I did that.
Every morning. That's how I woke up. That's what Mary Beth and Edward awoke to.
In the hotel.
Seattle shows for the Portland shows.
Edward one morning, it was silent in the room and he goes, Benny, can you do it?
Oh my God. You're faking my fucking pussy.
He loves it.
Yeah, he does.
Fucker.
And he loves my pussy.
Edward.
That fucker.

I'm the queen of segways.
I love you, gorgeous girl.
And you're the king of Halloween.
Thank you, fucker.
You fucker.
Fucker is as easy to get as apple pie on a Sunday morning.
It's as easy to get as apple pie on a Sunday morning.
I mean, are you kidding? So it's just, it's classic. It's so friendly and fun. Fucker.
Fucker.
You can say it to anyone. Like if they're just kind of being like a little stinker.
It's coy, I would say. You fucker.
It's very fucker.
And it's celebratory. It's not actually like angry.
No, because that'd be like motherfucker.
Yeah.
Which is like if someone like cuts you off or something.
Yeah, it's different. This is like, oh, you fucker.
You fucker. And you point. And it's like, it's very like giving a guy shit because he hasn't proposed.
So I'm sure a lot of you have heard this. Who's the guys, the straight guys listening?
Fucker. Come on, put a rock on her finger. Fucker.
Then fucker Jones is sort of like, what do they call it? It's not a reboot. It's like a spinoff.
It's a spinoff of fucker.
It's a retelling.
It's a retelling.
So we were in the green room at the Denver show.
Yeah.
And the person who was helping us communicate with the venue.
Yeah.
We were in there. We were in the green room alone. And you said we were because the show is supposed to start soon.
You said, what did you say?
I said, where's fucker Jones? I will just set the scene for you guys.
Mary Beth is always sitting and cold before the shows and she's quiet.
And I like need to rev myself up for the show.
So I'm like dancing around her. I am tucking ultimately.
You are.
But you said where's fucker Jones as I was already walking over to the door because I thought that maybe he was going to come soon because you go what time are we going to go on stage and then you said where's fucker Jones and I laughed and I said ha ha where's fucker Jones as I say that I opened the door he's standing right there miles miles we love you miles in Denver we love that fucker Jones that's love you kid love you kid love you kid so love you kid is if you say something to your partner like you're like oh hey did you have a chance to say something to your partner.
And they're kind of in a bad mood and they're like no I didn't fucking you know like whatever and you're like love you kid love you kid you didn't book those flights yet love your kid hey did you get a chance to like text your mom and ask her what time like she's coming no no love you kid love you kid and that kind of gets into its counterpart love you sweat love you sweat is yeah it's the same thing if your partner or someone says like something shitty to you you go love you sweat oh I thought it was more earnest I'm learning new things.
Both I would say you could do it either way and you could do that with love you kid to like if you love someone.
so much you kind of really you like kind of get rid of your jaw and you go like a cat and you
kind of hold your face like this it's very ribbit it's ribbit which we can get into you have to take
us through ribbit so we were at my parents house and we were brushing our teeth we'd just gone to
a chili cook-off and we were talking about they're so confused by all this girl they were we were
setting the scene in that way oh yeah I get it you're brushing your teeth after a chili cook-off
I can see I can see it now which I can see it now is when you are describing something and you just
want to make it a little bit more cinematic and you say I can see it now yeah so we were brushing
our teeth after the chili cook-off I can see it now and we were just having a giggle and we talked
about ribbit girl who's this internet sensation who dresses as a frog she cosplays as a frog
and she says cute
I
am not cute I mean my parents say I'm cute but I never really heard it from anyone else
thanks I guess thanks I guess but she often will say she'll start an end video saying
so then the Wonka trailer had come out and you were doing some Timothee Chalamet impressions
and you said oh my god quiet up and listen down don't scratch that reverse
and then we left at the level of internet literacy you would need to have
to understand those references and we decided that anyone who could understand that reference
without it being explained to them should be in a mental institution yeah and should come to ride
live you're too online but come to ride live and if you're listening to this you either are that
person or you're dating that person congratulations you're a winner baby congratulations well I guess
on the topic of winners we can get into the fabu awards it's just it's a concept the fabu and the
bestie of the year awards it's just like an award show that we made up but it's like some people are
bestie of the year like Mary Beth is my bestie of the year she beat Stassi baby who's Kylie Jenner's
best friend shout out Stassi we love you doll but we had to take the crown Mary Beth had to do it on
them so she did I had to and you know what Stassi was so nice about it yeah she's a total doll
around award season is when it's the Oscars the Globes bestie of the year and then the fabu awards
which is just another award show that we made up for fabulous people but they don't have the fabu
awards in England oh of course not it's just the Brits the Brits yeah it's just the Brits the
BAFTAs I would say but also there is the worstie awards so anyone who's being a worstie you know
they're probably nominated they are you know they might take the crown we know Republic Records got
nominated for a worstie the year that Hailee Steinfeld's single came out they commented on
her Instagram about it and she said are you going to post about it and we think about that every
single day of our lives every day of our lives because what that taught us is that you can call
people out you can and you should you can take on Big Pharma you can call them out you can take
on Big Pharma you can you can take on Big Pharma and you know what you can also I'm trying to think
of a good segue your segues are insane today we're having fun they're incredible
Nutrafol baby you got that forehead hair looks so good yeah that's free Nutrafol you can have
that well I guess you paid for the ad so here's the thing um oh I just made myself laugh

coded or ride heritage which is sort of the most important thing to do and that's why I'm here today
because I'm here today because I want to be part of another thing that we can get into but it's
basically like sometimes like okay let's say like CVS has a Ferrero Rocher display it's like there's
easier ways to tell me you listen to ride exactly it's almost like starting to be too much at this
point I know we did an episode on Bob's fuck-ass Bob's so it's like anyone who has a Bob it's like
well there are easier ways to tell me you listen to ride there's easier ways and my mom sent me
some screenshots she was watching the Beanie Baby documentary and this woman is being interviewed
and she says it's all about family and it's all about family and it's all about family and it's all
about family and then her kids go
because they're playing with the frog Beanie Baby and my mom goes there's easier ways to tell us you
listen to ride if you're gonna do the ultimate ribbit challenge I mean come on I mean come on
it's written all over your lips and then of course we get into ride heritage so ride heritage is when
we have an episode that's just like encapsulates everything that ride is about and it comes from
this quote by a soccer and or football coach depending where you live about soccer heritage
and or football heritage so we've made an episode about soccer and or football heritage and we've
our own with Ride Heritage. And some episodes just are Ride Heritage and we don't know before
going into it, but they just become Ride Heritage. They become Ride Heritage. I will say the Baroneys,
which is the name of people who listen. And for anyone who doesn't understand that of why it's
Baroney, because that's just Mary Beth Barone. They're like, how am I in that? Because you're
family. Yeah, because I'm family. And if we got married, I would obviously take Mary Beth's last
name. So our kids would be the Baroneys. The Baroneys. 100%. It's pretty obvious. I don't
think it's that heady. I don't think I should have had to explain that. Thank you very much.
Edward's going to take my name too. Which gets me into Nina Drama. So I had a sex bot video sketch
where I essentially took a bunch of these sex bot comments and brought them to life via a
character. I wanted to humanize these bot comments. And it turned into this, I would say,
fabulous character, Nina Drama. One of my favorites, really.
She. She definitely pops up. I will say she is the voice in my head a lot of the time. If I want
to say something, I'm right. Sometimes Nina, she takes over.
She speaks.
Yeah.
And it's nice to have an alter ego you can tap into.
Of course. We all deserve that.
One of your other alter egos, I would say, is you doing a jazz standard of
Welcome to My Island, Charlie's verse.
Yes. There's a song called Welcome to My Island by Caroline Polachek.
Charlie XCX remixed it with George Daniel.
I love her.
Fuck her.
Fuck her.
And so I started to do kind of a jazz standard version of her remix.
So there's a lot of layers there as well.
There's a lot of layers. And that gets into, you have to know Taylor Swift and Katy Perry lyrics
because sometimes you'll say something or I'll say something where it just either quotes partially
a Taylor Swift lyric accidentally, and then we'll just get into the song. So it's like,
you kind of just have to know those things. You have to know both of their discographies
because sometimes we'll just. Sometimes we'll just say like swish, swish, bish.
Actually, sometimes we'll just say another one in the casket.
Yeah.
If you don't know that song by Katy Perry, swish, swish, you're going to be totally lost.
Will you be my witness?
Yes.
Katy Perry.
Katy Perry.
Best believe I'm still bejeweled.
Baby love, I think I've been a little too kind.
I would say bejeweled.
Start with bejeweled if you're going to.
Start with bejeweled.
Bejeweled and mastermind.
And then, of course, enunciate the words.
Oh, my God.
This is a quote from Katy on Idol.
Katy Perry is a judge on American Idol.
And there was this singer who she walked in like a bat out of hell.
And she said, and Katy was there.
She had full cow print outfit on.
She looked fabulous.
And she said, slow down.
Enunciate the words.
Enunciate the words.
And the girl made it to Hollywood thanks to Katy Perry's notes.
So I just love that.
Quiet down and listen up.
Listen up.
It's a Tiffany check.
Tiffany check is when I wear my Tiffany bracelet.
And it makes the most soothing sound in the world.
Other than when your makeup and your makeup bag is clacking together.
This is number one.
The makeup bag is two.
Oh, chills down my little spine.
That feels good.
That feels like a toe curling orgasm.
Get into it.
Toe curling orgasm.
It's pretty simple.
This podcast is about to blow up.
We're giving it so much info.
I know.
I almost think we need to do a part two.
I can't tell if the segues make it more.
Confusing or.
I don't care.
Literally, it's kind of an insane.
It's actually so hard to understand.
I think.
It's circular.
As we said, it's a circle.
It really is so hard.
Toe curling orgasm.
Mary Beth, she's living in my house.
Fuck, this is so hard to do.
So Mary Beth.
You can do living in my house right now.
So to start toe curling orgasm, I want to tell you about I'm living in your house,
which is this video.
And I will say, if some of these things you're not understanding,
you need to follow at red.
Oh, my God.
100%.
Because if you're not following, it's going to fill in the blanks.
You're only getting half.
You're only getting half the story.
So there's this video of Lea Michele, Miss Girl at the Met Gala.
And she's talking to Lala Anthony, who's just absolutely incredible.
She was just like, she's a star.
She's shutting it down.
And before they start the interview, Lala says,
Lea, I know there was something you wanted to tell me.
And Lea Michele goes, well, yeah, I'm living.
I'm living in your house.
And Lala's face, she's like, what?
It's just, it's so.
It's kind of perfect television.
It's perfect.
And it plays on this other joke that we have that you'll learn more about when we do the
Jennifer Lawrence carpool.
But basically in the movie Mother, I won't give any spoilers.
But at one point, someone's painting your house.
And she goes, why are you painting my house?
So it's actually like a double whammy, that one.
So when I stay at your house, now I say I'm living at your house.
And I'm living in your house.
And when Mary Beth is living in my house, I like to knock on the door, the guest room
in the morning.
And she says, how'd you sleep?
And I said, I had the most toe curling orgasm last night.
And it's just as simple as that.
It's crass.
It's crass.
It's really crass.
But we love it.
Okay.
So what we're finding right now is that we actually have a lot more to do.
So we're going to do a part two of this that will come out next week.
So we hope that you listened to this and had it a toe curling orgasm.
But I will say, listen back to this from the top just so that you get it.
I would listen to this a couple.
When you listen to part two, you're saying just listen to this one again.
Do it again.
Just we have this.
You can always come back to it.
Cite your sources.
Bibliography.
We're excited.
This is what we're doing.
Thanks, guys.
We'll see you next week for part two of the Encyclopedia of Rye.
I can see it now.
Oh, my accent.
Benny, babe.
Eyes on the road.
Benny, look out!
Rye.
