HERITAGE COLLECTION: Meet Duddy + BEN DA

This episode from the Ride Heritage Collection celebrates pivotal, often absurd moments from the podcast’s past, blending personal storytelling with sharp satire. The hosts revisit iconic scenes like the "lesbian cop" at Ride Live and a surreal "Daddy" character who embarks on a fantastical day as a political assassin, complete with oysters, Disney rides, and dramatic fashion choices. Amid the humor, the conversation explores deeper themes of identity, relationships, and mental health—particularly relationship OCD—while emphasizing authenticity and ethical advertising. The hosts share personal experiences, from a dream day as a woman to a wild party in London with British gay friends, highlighting cultural observations and the joy of creative freedom. The episode also touches on brand deals, lifestyle choices, and the surreal humor of everyday life, all wrapped in the podcast’s signature irreverent tone. It serves as both a nostalgic tribute and a reflective look at how identity, humor, and connection shape the show’s evolution. Notably, the hosts acknowledge the satirical nature of their content while underscoring a commitment to thoughtful, inclusive storytelling. The episode concludes with a playful nod to future adventures and a reminder that humor, vulnerability, and community remain at the heart of the Ride experience.

The following podcast is a dear media production, the following podcast is a dear media production. I'm Benito Skinner. I'm Mary Beffarone. And this is Ride Ride. Hello and welcome to the Ride Heritage Collection. The Heritage Collection. This is something new we're trying where we are going to release iconic heritage episodes of the podcast in no particular order. And we're going to re-title them so you know exactly which iconic moment to expect. Moments that come to mind, the lesbian cop at Ride Live. Massive. We're talking about, I'm his sister. I was there. It was rare. And DA. And of course, how many chickens there are in the world? Oh, I just got a phone here. Oh my god, wait, Mary Betch's cutter finger in his bleeding. I guess we have to go. Enjoy this episode. We hope it's a tasty treat for you. We're going to have fun going through the archives and picking out these episodes for you. Think about what we're doing right now. We do exist in the world. Isn't that trippy to think about? Let's go on the journey for the Ride Heritage Collection. How do these things stay in the air? Beautiful, lie, hot and sexy. Beautiful. They were playing Zarlars in Joe and the Juice. Last time I went. 20 minutes ago. Yeah. We dropped your sandwiches for lunch. And dinner and dinner and just to walk in. And you're I think coming coming back from COVID. I'd say I came here and got the last play first of all. I love when people say they had COVID when they didn't take a COVID test. Have you ever known your body? Have you ever in your life known your body? Then they tell people I had COVID last week. So then everyone they interact with goes, well, I guess I have COVID. So now you're saying you have COVID. Sorry, I just flea bagged at the camera. Yeah, I you broke the fourth law. It's neck, but here's the thing. I just think like they haven't acknowledged us. They never will do the juice. Yeah, they're playing cat and mouse. No, because it's yeah, but just walking in it. Beautiful, fly, hot and sexy. What's this song pretty ugly that you put? Have you ever seen a pretty girl get ugly like this? Which is pretty much every time we're on camera for this podcast, I'd say. Well, it's okay. So just to talk a little bit about the current space we're inhabiting, and I mean space in the larger sense, like. Yes, sweetheart. When you attend events and things like that, you're getting glam a lot. So then when you don't have to have glam, it just feels better to not wear makeup and have just like bare skin. But that does definitely have its consequences, like looking terrible on this podcast. I've decided if you want to fuck us, you want to fuck us regardless. Well, you and you should, like, you can't just have us with our glam. Can you finish the shot? She's been drinking an immunity shot for about 10 minutes. Well, we are teaching the Brits how to drink a drink. You can drink slower time, my love. Yeah, no. Let it simmer. Nurse it. Everyone in this country is baffled by the fact that it takes me six hours to drink a nice coffee. It's all people have brought up to me. They're like, you're still with that coffee. I'm like, I think this coffee is as good as my day gets. I'm nursing it. I'm nursing it because I don't want it to end. This one's it's gone, honey. It's gone. You can't get it back. It's gone. And then you have your second one and it never hits the same as that first one. It doesn't hit the same. Well, the firm does tickle you quite a bit. You are understanding. We're in the Great British Library. We're in London. I guess we should say that too. London. I love it here. And London's so happy to have you back, baby girl. And I finally get to do a ride that I've been waiting to do for. Since I was six. It's really fun. Sex. And that case. And that case. Delaney Jane. She's like entered her new era. So there's AI and then there's Delaney Jane. She is like, she's adding her own special effects to her videos. The production value has increased 10 fold. She's killing it. She's absolutely eating down. I need to meet her. I need to give her a hug. I'm just trying to think where we could do that. The daughter. We have to go to Australia. I really want to go to Australia. I really do. She's so far. I have to jump. My sister lives there. I need to go. I need to visit her at some point. I think they love us down there. I think a movie will film down there. A movie will film that we're in at some point. Yeah, definitely. They love filming in Australia. We're going to get there. We're going to London. We'll stop by. We're about New York City. Well, I would love to film something in New York. Oh, should we talk about G. Humanity Party? Not more. I made you think of it. It's a party, yes to it. Should we read some of our jokes? So we're actually going to save those for, we have a very special guest next week. Oh, yeah, we have a guest. We have a guest next week. It is so not who you think it is. Can I just say? I think it's going to totally like completely. I couldn't, when you said it to me, I couldn't believe it. Yeah, well, we're turning to the sacred text in a way. I can't wait. It's on the TV. Or I could just latch you to right here. No, you were being so funny. I was the funniest I've ever been yesterday. I know. So for anyone who wasn't there, I'm sorry, but it was hardly anyone. So it was just two people. It was two people. For some reason, I could have toured it. It was like as good as. You were cracking me up. Do you want to talk about your dream day as a woman? You went, you rift last night. You were rifting solo. I didn't have to say anything. I was so tired. You just go, I want to be a woman for one. Why I'd COVID? Well, I have COVID. It's the black plague. They got all kinds of stuff over here. I'm not used to it. And are you laughing? I love our producer. Jimmy's here. We didn't have Jimmy last time because we booked two last minute. But so we were left for our own devices of clicking the record button. And I just said, I got too scared last time. We, you know, I didn't click that record. So I like, like, it's a, you know, I want to include you together. Mutant and proud. Wicked and good. We were rifting yesterday. We had fun. We were so hungover after the cheat sheet. I've never, it's the worst hangover I've had in years. It was so bad. I really was upset with myself. I was sad. I keep taking down cheeseburgers in a way that is, it's seeming clinical. It's clinical. But it's so mean, it's like a cheeseburger. Let's talk about daddy. If you think I forgot one thing you said last night. Her name is daddy. I think, okay, so I just was like so delirious. And I just thought, I want to have a day as a woman. And I want to see such a level of out of pocket that, like, so I said, I would start the day. Well, what I say, I said, I'd meet a guy and be like, take me to dinner. I don't shit. Like the second I read him, he feels so uncomfortable. He'd say, yes. I show up at the dinner. And of course, it would paste these on. Crashless panties. Yeah. And ugly boots to my thigh. No, but then I need to take you to dinner in the hole that you're saying, I want to have your babies. And then he tries to touch you and then you go. You have to take me to Disney first. You forgot what I ordered for dinner. Oh, talking to strawberry pendant is smoothie. Did I take two shots? And oysters. Then you go ride the rides at Magic Kingdom. And the whole time I'm going, like, and then you say, you're fall asleep. I grab his crotch at one point. I say, your boss was so good. And then I don't sleep with him. No, no. And then I kill him. Throw him in the river. Well, it's a political assassination. Of course. It's a political. It's the whole day with governor. I want this for you so bad. Oh, I know. Come on, Jeannie. We're cats. It's all I want. And he gives you one mission. And don't you don't end homelessness. I'm during dinner. It's not real peace. What do you like best in my mouth? It's dead. It's steady. It's one day is dead. One day is steady. And she's so like, I don't know. I know exactly what she looks like for some reason. Oh, and I would have gotten filler earlier in the day in my lips. So I'd have bruised lips. And anytime someone brings it up, I go, it's ketchup. I love her. Fuck. It's all I want. Now this is a great idea for a short film. He asked me because the twist that she's a political assassin, I think we've really catch people. Of course. She has a gun. Right. A couple of guns. I thought I was going to be a woman for a day and wouldn't have a gun. Come on now. You'd have to. I have to make it through the day. You'd have to. Yeah. Your balls feel so good. Jimmy's side in the corner. His heart's about to stop. Well, no, Jimmy's thinking I need this. He said if only I could meet a woman like such as that. He goes dream date and he knows that. Yeah. Oh my god. Okay. So the world ain't ready. So girls that you're listening. Just a few little pointers. I think my pasties would be either X's or hearts. Well, you know, they make shamrocks and you know, they make shamrock pasties. So they're shamrocks and in the middle of dinner, they keep peeling off and I keep going, oh my goodness, I'm not wisdoms. And then I have to press them back into my nipples. I have huge areolas by the way. I know. I assume that. Yeah. They don't cover them. No. Yeah. And then in the middle of dinner, she goes, I have to put it in. Do you have an area, I'm sorry, because this might be out there, but one that's so big that a pastie couldn't even try and XL pasties, like still that outline of it, like it doesn't quite cover it. Well, it's in fact, it kind of just makes like a, like a, like a symbol in real thing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So that's where we're at creatively. So kind of like, I've never been more, I'm in creative flow. You're in flow state. I'm in flow state. Yeah. Wow. I mean, to see that live last night. And again, today, obviously, I mean, you could see I was like actually crying, but the idea of that. Yeah. Yeah. I almost just revealed who was listening. We can believe it. But he was as if they're not going to figure that out. Okay. The other person who was there was, of course, Edward Blumel. It was good to catch up with old friends when you're in town. Yes. And he missed being in hotel rooms with me doing bits for you. I see the two of you in a room and I'm like, I'm going to launch into, I'm it, the clown. Yeah. We love that. Dream role. I did extend my stay at the hotel one night, and they kind of honeydicked me because they told me how much it was going to be without VAT service charge, et cetera, et cetera. Oh. So when I went down this morning to tap that credit card, I was hit with a number that I was simply not expecting. And I just said, you know what? Say lovey. La Vita Bonita. La Vita Bonita. Carpe Diem. Of course. Well, that one too. Okay. Another modernization I want to do. Carpe Diem is Latin for season today. But I think Carpe Diem shoot your shot. You should be DMing more people. Sounds like someone's got to need T-shirt. T-shirt. I mean, putting that on a t-shirt. I want you to come out with a t-shirt brand. I sell three units of the Carpe Diem t-shirt. You think that's a three unit purchase? That's got. You think that has. That's seller potential. No numbers. Jimmy by one. Jimmy would bully would gift one, gratis. Need by three. I want Jimmy to wear whitey tighties with that on it. On the back. Carpe Diem. Some girl taking those off. He's married. Fully. His wife taking those off. The fuck? See, I can adapt. She goes, who have you been hanging out with? Oh, wait. This is Daddy in the middle of the day. So, what's your wife's name? She leans from southern to Nina drama to different accent per. Hoister. Different accent per. Per course. Yeah. We're having a smoothie after dinner and just a belching. And then for dessert. Take me to Disney. For dessert, it's Disney, but she also goes, I love tiramisu. And they don't have it on the menu, so they have to go somewhere else. Proved to me, you love me. See, if we lived in a world where women could behave that way, the world would be such a better place. No, that's what I mean. Like, it's just this one day. It's Daddy Day. We have to hold that so much. I know. No, guys won't date us. Like, we can be the perfect woman and still. You were the perfect woman the other night at GQ, men of the year. And I, all about men, you made it all about women. Women's is my goodness. Oh, yes. I mean, it was fun. I wore the dress in my dreams. I decided I'm going to wear that dress again to something else because I want to rewear it. It's your Tiffany Haddish, Alex, Anna McQueen dress. Exactly. Thank you for saying that. Oh, my God. When you rub your nose. It's just like that. It's cratched. It's cratched. Well, you look like this, you know what? If you haven't seen it. Our friend said it was cutie. If you haven't seen the episode of Ride From Last Week, the way Benny, someone in the comments goes, the way Benny rubbed his nose like a toddler and it has the timestamp so you can just. Sorry. I just like, sometimes it just, it's so cool. You were doing things. You were doing hand puppets or whatever. Shadow puppet. Well, I have SARS-CoV-19. All right. Let's get into what we ride for. Oh, sometimes I think about you saying, thank you, my friend, about the bat at the hand market. Do you remember? I remember, but here's the problem where we're at because if COVID hadn't happened, your friend wouldn't have gotten cheated on. Oh, yeah. Of course. And she would have still gotten married to someone who cheated on you. That was my cousin. Your cousin? Yeah. Your cousin. That's La Familia. La Familia. La Familia. Family runs deep. What did I write? What did I write? What did I write? Scanlan family strong in a script for overcompetiting. Yeah. That would be dumb and then I'm going to get a text about something that I've added. Yeah. I have little wings from my girl. Today I will be writing for Notting Hill. Oh. I'll go first. Uh. Okay. Well, what about that, Jimmy? Is that the perfect woman? It's smiling. She, I wonder while she's single. Yeah. If you can't handle me, Berkeley. That was very dirty. Dutty would have done that after every oyster. And then she goes, these always manage to make me sick as a dog. Take me to Disney's stupid. She'd say stupid the whole time. You only want to ride rides on a full stomach. Oh no, no, no, no, no. You want a new splash mountain. She does splash mountain. She has a first soul there. She buys. She buys a mini costume as well. Well, of course, not to wear, just to buy. Just to have. Just to have. Just to have. I love this piece. Buy it for me. Buy it for me. I want to go to the biblity, boppity, boutique. That's what she says. And every time she meets a princess, she goes, I'm one, too. I love her. She is the one. God, she's me. It's all my dreams. It's all my dreams. You would make this character come to life, but I understand why you can't. Too tired. No. Too tired. Guys, relationships are intense. They make us care deeply, feel vulnerable. They even freak out a little sometimes. That's human. People have relationship concerns that go far beyond standard ones, like finding another person attractive and then immediately thinking, is this really mean I don't love my partner? We're asking yourself the same questions hundreds of times a day that I really love them. What if I'm wasting their time and searching for some feeling of certainty that never comes? Many people think these sorts of thoughts and anxieties are just overthinking or commitment issues, but they can actually be signs of relationship OCD. So many people think OCD is just about cleaning or organizing, but that stereotype couldn't be more wrong. Real OCD is a serious condition we're distressing, unwanted thoughts called intrusive thoughts get stuck on our feet, and you feel compelled to do certain things to try to make the anxiety stop. With relationship OCD, compulsions might look like constantly seeking reassurance or comparing your partner to others. OCD needs ERP therapy exposure and response prevention, which is proven to be the most effective treatment. Regular talk therapy isn't recommended and can actually make OCD worse. As many of you know, our very own Benny drama has used OCD to help combat his intrusive thoughts, like stabbing people and running his car off the road. OCD is the world's leading OCD treatment provider and all of their licensed therapists specialize in ERP. Therapy with OCD is 100% virtual, covered by insurance for over 138 million Americans and includes support between sessions soon never have to face OCD alone.

I'm not cutting this. We don't have to say we're not wearing makeup. They could figure it out. Yeah. I think all the clues are there. Do I have berries in my teeth? No. I was maybe going to write for smoothies, but it's our holiday sleigh ride. It's the sleigh ride. Clap. I love your nail color. Lincoln Park after dark. So this is gel, so I don't know what the even- Oh, could I do headphones? Do you want to or no? I don't ever want to because I make our heads look huge. Oh, God. I love it. So burn dysmorphia can happen in pod. Yeah. That's all I want to say. And also- We have an eight pod and out of pod. Sex is the greatest effort easy. Someone tell us. Have I already said this? There's no way of knowing except if we listen to ourselves on the podcast, which we're simply not going to do. But if anyone's listened to that episode recently, did we say that sex does like our favorite after these yakis X just to be clear. When Duddy's sleeping down three oysters at once mind you, she looks at the guy mouthful of oysters and goes, I don't care. Wait, you know what I was thinking? I think Duddy has a Christmas album. Oh, 100%. Well, she has a good voice. Can I say something? She has a good voice. She dated a producer for a while and he was like, we should just get in the studio and do something. Oh, my God. She totally was- she dated the guy that was in the studio was Aralarsan. He liked it. Sessions was Aralarsan and she's married to him. Yeah, but she dates outside the marriage as well. Well, yeah, she has to get her kills. Should we talk about her tartan holiday date? Like- I wish you would. Your cousin was wearing a fabulous tartan shirt. And it just- It's crazy because for me as an artist, I'll see something and it just will like, it'll just click for me. By the way, I have no zingers today. I have not added to- I have an even more of that. No, I have no zingers. You were so funny last night. Obviously, we watched "He Did Rivalry" because our king, Robbie G.K., Riley from over-confensating, fucking bottom day. Yay for pay. So, Robbie, we're so proud of you, sweetie. Grace had no idea- I didn't know that that's what Robbie was doing. Speaking of smoothies- After his little nursing shifts at the old folks home. You said the funniest thing to me last night. You go- the smoothie place is called Strawberry. It took me a bit- In New York, in the heart of New York City. It took me a bit. I obviously we had a tentilating time watching. We have one note, and this isn't like, we're not critics really, but just like, take a shot or smoke a sig every time it tells you six months later. Yeah, or anytime jump, even one day. They did it one day time jump. Oh, my favorite was- They had said two weeks, three times, and then they said two weeks. But I know for a fact that's like some kind of weird note that someone was like, "When's all this happening?" Yeah. Because it's books. It's a book series, right? You say so. You don't even care about getting- I've never heard of it before. It's not come across my desk, but I'm glad it has now. I know. I don't- I don't read the kind of like sexy sweet books, but maybe I- if you will. I'll take a minute. We're going on vacation, so maybe I'll read them on the beach. Oh, on the beach. The books we read on vacation. So, you saw my- I almost said mayonnaise, but no, it was my cousin first cousin. Yeah, and she had this long tartan skirt on, and I thought- so she was twirling in it, and it really like kind of flew up, and I thought, well, daddy'd wear that panty-less. But as a dress, a tube dress. A tube dress, of course. So be a tube dress that's belted at the top. She do spins, and she would be at a pub, and she would do the knife off the top of the Guinness in front of everyone, and go, "Look at this," and then do that, and then she'd lick the knife. I contact with the one person in the crowd. She'd lick the knife right down. Yeah, of course. But she knows exactly how much pressure to put on it. Yes, and just a little blood comes out from the tip of her tongue. She tastes it and goes, pennies, and then looks someone in the eye, and they're completely locked in. I mean, mesmerized. Yeah, she eats a shepherd's pie that night, too. I was gonna say, too. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, she orders one, and she goes, "Please, ma'am, another." I'm still hungry. She does what no one's ever done in the history of man, which is order more food in the middle. When people say that, we can always order more food. I'm like, no, we can't- We're not gonna do that. No, we just put it in the order. We just wait it, and we sat. So, wait, we're gonna restart this whole process. It's nice when the waiter lets you have that little fantasy because sometimes the waiter goes- Isn't it just that? Sometimes the waiter goes, "Well, we need to put it all in at once for chef." And I go, "Can we just have this moment where I say maybe we'll get more, where I ask you, did we get enough food?" And you say, "I think so." And then I say, "Well, we'll always order more if we're hungry." Let's just accept that that's never gonna happen. Of course. Let's not fight it. No, come on. This holiday season promise not to do that, you guys. Promise. Also, I'm wearing a Gen Z head scarf. So, my nanny, not my nanny, Pinkie's nanny, Sasha, she wears this head scarf like this. And then I had a backup dog sitter because Sasha wasn't available. And she was also wearing one like this. And I go, "I guess this is what the kids are doing these days." So, now don't you think I look like I work in a kitchen? Well, like I'm frying up. I can't tell. I mean, like, "Yeah, I guess, but I can't really. " This is my rib tank top. Well, I think everything about you aside from that is saying not a woman cooking in the kitchen at a restaurant. But I've seen my hair out of the food. I would be so curious what I would look like in it. I'm gonna try it later. Yeah, I don't know. I know I'm cooking up Duddy Shepard's pie. Well, I guess we can't talk about Jeremy O'Harris being in a Japanese prison, but let's just Google it. Let's just Google it and Jeremy. Let us know what we can do to help. Like, we will come get you, sweetie. Wait, that's oh my god. New years. Yeah. New years. We go get him. We go get him. Hey. We get off the plane first. We run in the front of the plane. Go get your girl. Okay, your girl. And it's us getting Jeremy O'Harris out of prison. I just got chills. All jokes aside, we're so worried about him. I know. I'm like, are they taking okay care of him? Like what's happening? Like take care of our girl. I need someone who knows everything about 9/11, everything about the recent stuff in Saudi Arabia. And I only say stuff because I know it's really bad. I don't know every specific. I know they killed a journalist, maybe more, probably more. But there's people going to the Saudi Arabia film festival. And I'm just like, is that chill? Because with the comedy festival, it felt like it was very not chill. And I was very much on that side of it not being chill. And now I'm just like, well, what they're doing a film festival. I would say everything is confusing and everything is embarrassing. So you just kind of have to find that. And so you find that duality. But yeah, oh my god, it's like my greatest fear every time they go through my bag. I'm like, when they do that bomb thing, the like, you know, test, I'm like, what if someone just rubbed bomb powder on what? When they do a little thing on your hands. Don't I don't look like someone who they would go. No, they would do like this. Right before I. Yeah, that's what scares me in those snitch ass dogs. I looked at one of the dogs much. I did one time accidentally cart, throw, throw us from the UK to America. Luckily, it didn't, it didn't get, I'm lucky to say this on pop. I wonder if you can say this. It happened. It could be lying. The world is exactly comedy. What are they going to do? All you need to do is look at the camera. And I go parody law that I've been latching. Oh my god, parody law got me through a lot of years of my career. I've been latched, latched locking my door recently because I used to just let it, you know, it locks on its own, but I've been latching it because I thought if the government somehow finds my stand up, which is widely available, they might just bust the door down. And my biggest concern if I got, yeah, especially if they have big machine guns and stuff. But my big concern if I got detained was like pinkies in the crate. So, or she's maybe not in the crate. I'll go get her. She's in the bed. Yeah, I don't think they would either. Well, they just, if they were going to, they would have after the White House video. Oh, absolutely. Oh, Biden's trusted messengers. I forgot to tell you a wedding. I was at and a woman showed me texts back and forth. Here's my thing. Like, every now and then I'll look in my DMs and people will be like, come to my wedding. And I can't stress enough. Like, I'll come if someone promises I'll have a good time at a wedding. But it remains to be seen. I was at this wedding and this woman showed me texts and she thought it was so funny. She was like, I sent this vid to a friend of mine who was like a Republican. And this is what they sent back. And they're like, I can't believe they let that animal in the White House. And she was like laughing. And I was like, this is so not funny. I was just like, this is insane. I think people don't ever think about what they do. That is the big message of right. There's a lot of themes and that's the big message. Well, I wanted to quickly talk about brand deals. I just feel like we're doing some housekeeping right now. Brand deals are really necessary for us to be able to maintain our lifestyles. And I just wanted to say, so I can't imagine a better clip for the holiday. - I love you, we might have to go off air really soon. - We see people supporting them. It's like, I know it's a bummer to see it. - I know it can't make your day. Sometimes though, I will say that I love seeing my friends brand posts. I'm like, that's my girl, 'cause I think about them on the shoot. I think about them reading whatever the original creative was, because there was something else that they then had to tweak. - Exactly. - And so, if this is what I'm seeing now, I can't even imagine what it was before. - And I'm trying to be, and as we go through, as we've always tried to be really thoughtful about the products we're advertising for on the podcast, I will say, I definitely had to say, notice some bigger brand deals this year for ethical reasons. - Definitely. - It is really hard sometimes, but we're trying to be thoughtful always, and of course, if we misstep. And this isn't even in reference to anything. I'm just for seeing like, you know, we have to sell our bodies in this business. - Of course, it's a part of-- - Well, of course, it's a part of-- - Constitution in a lot of ways. - So, yeah, just thanks for liking the posts, and even commenting sometimes if you feel so compelled. - We should make a dirty account so we could do like, she-in target. - Oh my goodness. - She-in target A.I. - Yeah, A.I. - What else? - If they knew some of the brand deals, I'd say no to this year. I really want to-- - It can I say something? - Season six. God, it's like, can't we just let a woman own property, but we can't. - We can't. - The first thing I noticed about my new mattress on Brooklyn Bedding was how stable and solid it felt, as if it was built to last decades, not just a few years.

Venmo came out and they said, we have an easier way for you to collect money, to send money, to ease the burden, ease the tension when friends owe each other money. - There was this visceral tension in the audience. - Early 20s? I remember life before Venmo. - Oh, I agree. - It was a cash, it was cash. It was paying for a drink later. It was this. - I don't remember that. - Yeah. - I'm too freaking young. I don't remember a world of Venmo. - Your first phone, Venmo. - And I wouldn't want to. I wouldn't want to actually live in a world of Venmo. Here's my thing, just like being like, I don't want to deal with splitting it. I literally just want the waiter to like go about their day and like finish the night out. - Oh my God, not having a split between seven credit cards. That changed the game for a lot of people. But it's not just about that anymore. Venmo, Venmo said we are- - And it never has been. - They said we disrupted the pain your friend's backspace. Let's disrupt debit cards. - With the Venmo debit card, instantly access and spend your Venmo balance online or in store and no monthly fee or minimum balance, fabulous. Use your card to earn always on cashback with Venmo's rewards program, Venmo stash, where the more you do, the more cashback you can get.

Plus, Venmo helps keep your account in card safe with 24/7 fraud monitoring and card lock. - They're like, "Clock." - "Clock!" (laughing) - That's he was a superhero. - "Clock!" (laughing) - The Venmo master card is issued by the bank court bank and a pursuant to license by master card. And you're nationally incorporated. IT verification required. My stomach hurts for laughing. I'm like getting my abs, like it's like core. - Venmo stash, clocked. - Venmo stash bundle terms and exclusions apply. See terms at Venmo.me/stashterms. Back to honor dollar cashback per month. - You've been. (laughing) - Clawed. (laughing) - Wait, where are we going? - Who cares? - Ride. - We're hopping around today, which I love. - Do you want to go to Bendy A first or where do you want to go? - Aw, fuck with me. - Let's do it, let's do Bendy A. So right now we're sort of reminiscing on some things that happened before we had started recording the podcast and we wrote them down. We said we have to talk about that. - We remember, we had to do this with season two because Ellen, they tried to cancel me, was the day after we stopped recording season one. So we were like, - We know we're always thinking about you guys. - Of course, I know what I have to reveal here. - So if I could set the scene quickly. - Of course. - So you were auditioning. - If we're talking about scene, welcome to yet another, like you are gonna see us in every place on earth. We want every single video episode this year. - To be in a different place. We will show you every podcast studio across America and maybe abroad. I'm serious. We will stop at nothing and then you, at the end of the season, you guys can pick, which one you fuck with the most and we'll go there. - Yeah. - I'm serious. - I will not stop until we've seen every interior. (laughing) - I'm crying. - Me too. This is such a confusing start, but in a good way. - We just, there's so much to say. - So this is Ben D.A. - Okay. (laughing) - So there's this Ben D.A. - Okay, so. - Gasly girl. (laughing) - Can't even say it. Okay, so. - So. - So okay, Ben, you had to do a self-tape. - I read for you for you. Which famously you have to sign NDAs before you audition for you for you. - Yeah. - The thing with signing an NDA before an audition that's so funny to me is that you have to read it with someone else. They have to read the other line. So it's like at the bare minimum, I'm at least showing one other person. - Yeah. - Due to the job description of what we do as actors. - And maybe that's in the fine print, but it is funny. It's like, you will not share this with a fucking soul. 10 seconds later, I'm like, marry best for me. - You'll hand me the phone with the lines on it. - Like, I text it to you. - So I think I said something like, I'm telling Sam Levinson, you broke your NDA. And you were getting ready. You were putting your little makeup on your blush and you can see her. And you just go. - Well, I didn't have a stitch on for this. - You just go. - My name is Ben D.A. (laughing) - It's one of those things that you say, and I know that you guys aren't gonna get it on the first time. And maybe not even a second, but you'll start to think. - It's very turf Hogwarts. Not Ron, not Hermione. - Joe. - And D.A. - And I was abroad recently. I was in London and very much was giving Ben D.A. - But basically, we started laughing so hard. And we were like, let's explain it to Terry and just see if we're totally off the mark here. And we explained it to Terry and he was crying too. So we just figured that there was a gas leak somewhere in the house. - Well, he had three drinks recently. So I mean, he was toasted. He was toasted. - To the fun. - To the fun. - One of my favorite lines from over compensating. - Thank you so much. - To the fun. - My favorite lately of yours is after Peter and you were writing awful things about a bunch of students. You go, this is fun and give him a kiss. That felt like so real. You've done that. - Yeah. - So, oh, not me getting asked about your relationship status on the Peabody Awards carpet. We'll talk about that. Maybe next episode. - We're actually not gonna talk about that. - Yeah. - My name. - That's what I said back to her. (laughing) - A journalist from people. - Baby Penny drama's crashing out. I guess this all got to him. (laughing) - My name is Ben D.A. - So, I'm sorry you guys, you'll lock in and it'll be Ben D.A. era. But we call it Gasly Gera. 'Cause it's not funny, but yeah, we're laughing. - Well, in the note stock, it says, it says Ben D.A. in parentheses, Gasly Gera. - Yeah, it's like. - We'd actually know it says Gasly Gera in parentheses, Ben D.A. - Yeah, it's sorry. That's the era. It's we've completely lost our fucking minds and have no jokes left. - No. - So it's just Ben D.I. - So, my nine, sorry, I'll stop, it's Ben D.I. - But Terry was drunk recently, he had three drinks and I didn't know what he was gonna say. It's very murph at the end of interstellar. (laughing) When Matthew McConaughey walks in and he was like, my nine, it's Ben D.I. And I'm like, that better be your last words to me. (laughing) - Before he dies in the media to watch Lost and Glee. - Exactly, I thought he was gonna say you're losing me, but. - No, he said my name is Ben D.A. [BLANK_AUDIO] you have messaged me that you have done that to people that you're with. And I, apparently, it is not landing at all. And that couldn't make me happier. They're like, I'm you're what? You know, a Britishism that I once heard is it went down like a lead balloon. So think about that. 99. That balloons. Very bendier. I'm sorry. So British gay guys. British gay guys, I have this like huge take. This is my big subway take. I just, I'm obsessed with British gays. So I just had this party for overcompensating. Well, we had this party. I did truly nothing. I just showed up at this place called House Party in London. And I just had the best night. It's just like a bunch of British gays and, and girlies. And it was like pure joy. British gays just have, they have that genus they qua. They have love. And there's something about them very bright. I don't know. I just, I had the time of my life with these crazy UK lads and shout out all the UK lads out there in the girlies I met. But it was really fun to go to the UK. And let me tell you, they speak well on you over there girl. They freaking better. They got bendier. They wanted MDA. I'm sure they did want MDA. Yeah. Oh, and I think they were on MDA. I'm speaking of British lads. I just want to call it my shirt. Of course. Because we live in a beautiful world. It's a cold play. And speaking of American women, I'm in the row. Thank you, Mary K. Meshley. Oh, my accent. Any babe eyes in the road. There you go. Right, right, right. Please note that this episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
