The podcast’s new Heritage Collection series highlights iconic, emotionally resonant moments from its history, such as the appearance of a lesbian cop and heartfelt discussions on queer identity. Through a blend of humor, vulnerability, and community storytelling, the hosts emphasize the transformative power of live events and audience connection. A key theme is the concept of "riding for girls" or "girlies"—a gender-neutral celebration of friendship, support, and shared joy among queer women and non-binary individuals. The hosts reflect on how these bonds foster resilience, emotional safety, and a sense of belonging, especially in the face of societal challenges. They celebrate moments of solidarity, such as listeners creating merchandise, traveling to shows, and forming tight-knit networks. The episode also touches on mental health, introducing relationship OCD as a real issue, and promotes resources like NOCD for treatment. The hosts share personal stories of loyalty, protection, and unwavering support for their community, calling out harmful behaviors and affirming the power of joy, laughter, and inclusivity. With a focus on the joy of being seen and celebrated, the podcast positions itself as a space of authentic connection, where community, friendship, and self-expression thrive. The celebration of "girlies" as a vibrant, joyful, and gender-fluid phenomenon underscores a broader cultural shift toward embracing individuality, fun, and collective empowerment. The episode concludes with a call to action: to support local communities, embrace authenticity, and ride for one’s true friends—into the sunset.
The Following Podcast is a Deer Media Production. Hey, can you come pick me up? Yeah, what's wrong? Nothing. Pretty sure. Yeah, no, I just need a ride. Why? I don't know, I don't know. Why, I just want to have fun. Start your engine. Tiger. 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 retitle 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 Ami Sista. 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 cut her finger and is 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. Shh! How do these things stay in the air? So, we're doing this thing, kid. Here we are. [LAUGHS] Deep breath. Everyone, guttural. I want it guttural. On the road, close your eyes. Be a deep breath. Take your hands off the wheel. Palms on your thighs. All the bronies are in Tesla's. It'll drive itself. Perfect. Except we support electric cars, we do not support Elon Musk. We've been talking a lot about the handles of a Tesla. First, here's my thing. Why reinvent the wheel? The wheel works. If it ain't broke, don't fix that. I've never had a problem with the car door handle, except when Tesla tried to reinvent the wheel. I've never once gotten it right on the first try. What I have to put in push and pull, why would you make it two things? No, you have to finger a Tesla, and then-- You have to hit the G spot, and then it pops out. And then you pull. You have to play with the Tesla's plate. Yeah. Something I've learned this trip is that sometimes the right thing isn't the easy thing. And by that, I mean renting an electric car. It's definitely not the easy thing. You love? No. It's hard. It's better for the planet, but I'm paying for it. No good deed goes unpunished, as they say. Where are the charging stations at? Well, that's what I would love to know. Because for me, I just-- Wait, Edward's here. We don't do. Edward's here in the Cuck chair. Edward's in the Cuck chair. He's watching us. He's not love saying anything, but he's here. Hey, quiet on set. Fucker. Oh, he's used to sit here and quiet on set. Total actor. Total actor. You're like a bucked action. I can't relate. I'm in two projects in here. OK, podcasting. Having an identity crisis, everybody, let's get it! I think this is all we do. This podcast-- It's all we do, but you know what? I love it. I love it. It makes me so happy, but I did have the thought of, like, I was fully having deja vu on the way to Paramount Lot, where we-- Paramount Lot, yeah. We should probably stop saying that, because that would be us crossing picket lines if we were-- Of course, we're not actually recording at the Paramount Lot. We just can't tell you where we are, because you'll kill us. Goes without saying that we're not at the Paramount Lot. Yeah. We've spent a lot of time with Barones these past few weeks, and it's been fabulous. Sorry, goes without saying actually doesn't even work anymore. I know. Because I got a message yesterday that made me so sad and mad in the C-tack airport in Seattle. It was really hot. There wasn't-- there, like, no AC. God, that's so tough. Oh, Edward just heard AC, and he immediately went, "AC's make you sick." God, it's like, come on. Literally, in Europe, I mean, traveling's a privilege. Traveling's a privilege. My biggest theory about British people is that they don't like to do things that make their lives easier, for example, air conditioning. Or get this, roads that fit two cars at one time. Oh, no. Sorry, oh, they were built for a horse and buggy. Guess what, babe? We don't have those anymore. We have cars. I'll never drive in England, because you have to constantly be pulling over parallel parking in the middle of your journey. Just let the other car go. It's a lot of stopping and starting. And on that note, Uber drivers need to chill the fuck out. I am not a rush, babe. Wait, see, we're coming in. Oh, no, but you know what? I leave time to get places, OK? So if I don't tell you I'm in a rush, you can just slow down, slow the hell down. I don't want to feel like I'm in Tokyo drift when I'm going for my parents' house to the city. Too fast. Too serious. It's a lot of drift. Oh, the brake pedal. Let's-- Lead foot alert. Lead foot alert. Let's be really gentle with that brake pedal. Because every time I jerk, I'm just like, I didn't think I used to have nausea in cars, and then I moved to New York, and then I now live in LA. And now it's just like, I see a car and I get nauseous. Yeah, also, I had a little bit of road rage this morning. Oh, I won't lie. We are coming in hot, because yeah, I was so late. It would actually make everyone dizzy. But I'm a total professional still, somehow, somehow. But not really today. Edward, that left us a little out, sis. Wait, why are we in bad moods? I actually woke up in a good mood. I think I'm still fuming from the message gesture that I'm about to tell everybody about us. Oh, whoa, that mic. Oh, that mic just went flaccid. (laughing) I fixed it, I fixed it. Shit, you got that mic so hard, so quick, baby. Wait, I feel like this might be just a catch-up episode. I think we have so much to talk about. We have so much to talk about. But with true baronies, it does go without saying. But so I got this DM. We've been having these like amazing shows. The summer tour is over. London, we can't wait to be on those streets very soon. I hate. We won't be driving, let's just say that. Oh, no, I'll be on the top of a double-decker bus. Yeah. I used to love those. I thought they were so fun. Seriously, I love them. No, the bus, the bus system in London is one of the best. It's incredible. Best in class. The night's bus. It's our fireworks. So this woman messages me and she was like, I was so pissed about your show last night. And I was like, what am I reading? Because you really don't ever want to see these comments because you get the sweet ones and you're trying to interact with those as much as you can. Before you read the message, I just want to say some of the things that happened at the Seattle show. A girl came out as bisexual to her mom. Yeah. One. Two, someone made a statement about being liberal in Idaho and how powerful that can be. We had a lot of gay stories, a lot of women's stories. We touch on topics like-- A woman who left the Mormon church, because she was bisexual. We touch on how it's difficult to be aging in Hollywood. We talk about how when I was a teenager, I had headshots and it was sexualizing teenagers. We talk about a lot of actually big topics. We talk about Chris Pratt. So don't tell me that we don't talk about the tough stuff in this live show. So taking all of that, I get this message that's like, I thought you guys were going to do stand up. I guess I should have read the show description. And it's like, well, yeah. Before you buy tickets to something usually, read what the show is. But obviously, when it's called ride on the road, it will be probably about the podcast. And we're not saying that we're doing an hour of stand up. And she's like, I didn't know you do so much crowd interaction. And I'm like, don't talk about how I spend time with my kids. Yeah, first of all, you have no right to judge me as a parent. You have no right to judge me as a parent right now. I was eating teriyaki beef jerky when I was reading this. I was fuming. The person said, the show was so, so superficial. So, so superficial. And then she said, I don't know. Maybe it was satiron. I'm not getting it. And I'm like, read that second part again, because it sounds like you already found your answer. Think about these words together. Comedy show. Yeah. Comedy show. This is, I was thinking about this all my time. It's supposed to be funny. It's, I liked it. It was really good. It was really good. I really liked it. That's what every other review has been. So, this is just to say, if you're thinking that you're going to come to the show and it's just, I guess, me doing an hour of stand up. And then I pass it like that. And me and my son in my ass does another hour of stand up. Ultimately, that's not the show. It is the right experience. We want to talk to you guys. We, of course, we ride for things, we play games. Here's my hands. Here's my hands. I was thinking about this yesterday, after he sent me the screenshot, because I'm like, it's actually not a tour. It's actually a celebration of the Barones. It's a celebration of our listeners. Yeah. And if you don't want to be a part of that, then don't come. Seriously. Zero other people have said this. But so, my brain loves to do this thing. If I get one mean message, I go, I'm going to think about this for the next 24 hours. Let me see if it can totally consume me. And it almost did, but it just disappointed me. This was what I was thinking this morning on the topic of the it being superficial. Why is it that every time a queer person gets on stage, we need to like have some huge political statement or everything we say needs to be about social justice. We do so much social justice in the show, too, by the way. We do a fuck you JK Rowling on three. Show me one male stand up comedian that's doing a fuck you JK Rowling on three. We did a fuck you Elon Musk on three. Oh my god. I think it's just so much of that is put on queer people that they like every time they need to be on a stage, it needs to be like. It needs to be Nanette. We never said it was Nanette. Nanette is fabulous. It's fabulous. It changed the game. I'm not saying that a lot of the comedy we do doesn't have. Shades of Nanette. Shades of Nanette. We're not saying right on the road calling Nanette 'cause it's not that. The person said, oh, it just bummed me out because it wasn't clever and I, in parentheses, and I know your clever. Oh, it was so clever. [BLANK_AUDIO]
So clever, maybe too clever, we love. - She had two shit suits and I went, "Oh, Daisy makes meal tonight." (laughing) - Snacks for Daisy. - It was funny. So I sent a nice message back because I'm always like, I'm gonna come to this with love because I am just like, I'm sorry that you didn't read the show description. It sounds like you also know you didn't. So-- - 'Cause he said you didn't. I obviously wish her the best. You know what I would say to her? Listen to Ride, it might help you. - Yeah, start from the top. - Episode one, season one, episode one. - Start from the top. - What I think is also important to note is that we met so many Barones on the road who are the most gorgeous souls inside and out. - This tour is a dream on Earth. - They're making merch, they're making bracelets, they're telling us their journeys with the pod. They're also sharing things in the show. We have a lot of sharing in the show. One person, damning, does not drown out the thousands who had a great time. - The Barones on the road, it's actually an hour of pure joy. It's like, have you ever seen Mamma Mia? That's what I say to you. - That's what it is. It's so much an hour of pure joy that it's actually an hour and a half. Think about that. - Yeah, I know. - And to that, I say, you do the math. - Yeah. - So. - Like, we are on our feet for an hour and a half. - My back aching, but we're having the best time. Relationships are intense. They make us care deeply, feel vulnerable. Maybe even freak out a little sometimes. That's human. But some people have relationship concerns that go far beyond standard ones. Like finding another person attractive and then immediately thinking, oh my God, this really mean I don't love my partner or needing constant reassurance that your relationship is right or that you're not making the wrong choice because you never feel sure enough. We're asking yourself the same questions hundreds of times a day. Can I really love them? What if I'm wasting their time and searching for some feeling of certainty that never comes? Introducing the idea. I'm introducing the idea of relationship OCD. 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, replaying memories to see if you feel spark or comparing your partner to others. Relationship OCD is exhausting and it can make it feel like making real connections with others is impossible. But what's given all of us as a community of believers so much hope is learning that OCD is one of the most treatable mental health conditions when you get the right kind of specialized therapy. 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. That's why we wanted to tell you about no CD. No CD is the world's leading OCD treatment provider and all of their licensed therapist specializing ERP. To learn more about starting OCD therapy of no CD, go to nocd.com and book a free call with their team. That's nocd.com. Come out of your winter slump and reset for the season ahead. Prioritizing your health doesn't have to be complicated and can make a meaningful difference in how you feel. As we all know, we love AG1 on this podcast.

Have you seen the meme that's like, straight guys have started doing more gay things? So now, gay guys are dressing like construction workers and athletes. Well, I haven't seen that meme, but I was present when Emily said, so astutely, Terry dresses like Eminem. (laughing) Gay guys just like Eminem all of a sudden. What about me? Who am I dressing like? You're a singular voice. You don't dress like anyone. One time someone asked me, and you know when people are like, what's your style? And you never have the answer, but then one time it came to me and I was like, rich 80s teen. Totally. You dress like the best friend and fair spieler. Wait, literally. Yeah. Oh, Cameron. Cameron, Cameron. Cameron. He's the pink print. He's a huge style icon for me. So I would say college student in the 80s whose dad is rich. Who clearly has an interest in men. Totally. I think it's funny to wear like fraternity shirts. Yeah. Or like sports shirts because of my football background. I mean, I have a history with this. I mean, you play football from a young age. I mean, come on, what are you going to do? It's just totally fabulous. So I was wearing this shirt that I apparently was the San Diego Chargers. And I was on a plane yesterday flying back from Seattle. It's a fabulous show. I just read the woman's message. And I sat in my seat and this guy taps me on the shoulder, which I was like, he's about to show me something. I have a pit in my stomach. This man taps my shoulder and he goes chargers. And I was like, what? Phone charger. You said there's outlets between the seats. No, then he said chargers. Like chargers. And I was like, do you need a charger? I was like, yeah, I definitely have a charger, but I might have to use it because I want to watch the heat on my phone. I want to watch the heat with Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy on my phone. So I need my charger. And then he's like San Diego Chargers. And I was like, what could he possibly be talking about? Like, and then he goes, your shirt, like football, like the team. And I was like, oh, it's just like vintage. That's what I said too. And he goes, his face, he was so, he was devastated. He thought he was about to get into an electric conversation. And instead I went, it's vintage. He goes, he goes, San Diego Chargers and you go, what? Okay. Okay. And then I turned back to watching the heat with Sandra Bullock and Melissa. I love how many sittings it's taking you to watch the heat. Because he told me about it four days ago. I started watching with my parents. We watched a little bit more. I finally got it done. Great movie. It's just a fun buddy comedy. It's also happened at an airport where I was wearing a fraternity shirt. And this guy goes, "Siggett, brother." And I was like, I'm not your brother. But I turned, I was like, what? And then he's like, "Siggett." And I was, I just was, I was so confused for a minute. Well, my shirt is not an invitation. Something people love to do is they're like, what does your shirt say? I'm like, if you want to know what my shirt says, read it and move on, buddy. Yeah. It's on my shirt, so I don't have to say it. Yeah. So get away from me. Not, it's not an invitation. Leave me alone. I'm not your brother. Let's be clear. I'm wearing the shirt because I like how my nipples look in it. Yeah. It has nothing to do with anything else. No. Just so you know, I kind of like the color and I like how my titties are sitting in it. Right. So other than that, I don't want to hear that. And it's called fashion, honey. I'm just having fun. I think that's the thing. I'm always having fun with fashion. But yeah, I mean, it's like, if straight guys are going to paint their nails, we have to like, we have to find something even more irreverent. Totally. It's all about being irreverent. I know. But I think it's cool that like femininity, like, because I do think of painting nails as like a feminine thing. And I think I do think that if straight guys do it, it doesn't take away from anybody else doing it. But I don't want anyone to think I'm straight. So now I'm not painting my nails. Right. Now I'm wearing hockey jerseys. My favorite thing is when a guy has panel nails out.
- My kid did it, my kid painted them. So everyone's gonna think you're a father. - I'm like, I know you bought that OPI at Target Sis. We have to talk about the strip club and it will easily get into our rides today, which are like, so this is so, this is a passionate ride. - Yeah. - I think it's still positive. Someone said it's like the show is all positive and it's just, I think sometimes it's good to let people know that you can make something positive while also getting negativity thrown your way sometimes. - I have one thing negative to say and this is the only time I'll do it, but the guy that plays Shazam, I don't like him. I think he needs to step out of the spotlight. We've made stars, we've made stars out of some people that we need to run it back, changing your mind. He's done, stop speaking. Don't say anything to the press, don't say anything publicly, take some time, just stop. I don't care about you. I don't like your face, I don't like what you represent. I think he's transphobic, Trump's porter. He heard about they're doing a live action tangled and he's like, what about me? I'm like nothing about you. - No. - We wish we never did what we did with you. Stop. (laughing) We learned so much from this process. - Just to get that apartheid. - When I see his face in the press, it makes me shudder. It's good, it makes me put my phone down. - He's on my, he's on, he's on my throat chop list. - Oh my God. - Joe Rogan, Zachary Levi. (whooshing) Quick, just and they're so taken aback. They didn't think it, yeah. - They didn't think so. - I have a much longer list than that. (laughing) - Oh, baby, he's so do I. - I need to add him to my list of enemies, which is into my notes app. (laughing) - That's so funny. Yeah, I did see the tingle thing 'cause I love the thought that like Florence Pew is in something and you're like, oh well, I think my head should be in the ring. It's like, stop. - Seriously. - Stop. - Seriously, don't come for a Keanu Reeves' movie. Seriously. - Did he? - Oh yeah, he's like, why are people seeing John Wick when Shazam twos in theaters? Maybe because Keanu Reeves is likeable, I don't know. I can honestly think of like 50 good reasons off the top of my head, honestly. No, like truly. - And my heart goes out to everyone involved in the movie because it takes a village, but you picked the wrong guy. - Miss Zachariah, fuck. - So we go to Portland. - Oh yeah, okay, we'll thank God. - I've worked with us on tour. Edward's with us on tour. - Can I just say something about your guy? - I know what you're thinking. Oh, so now they got two rooms because Mary Beth and Edward should be in their own room. No, that's not what happened. (laughing) - Well, never be what's happened. Edward opened his eyes and he didn't see his girlfriend first. Let's just say that. He saw me. - He saw his girlfriend's husband. - And he did see my new era. - Which is? - The pushy era. - Yeah. - So pushy has entered B-Ring. She came in like a bat out of hell. Essentially, it's just, oh my God, my fucking pushy. And I don't know why, but I just remember it's kind of, I think inspired by, I had this friend in college, I remember he would say he was like having sex with his girlfriend and all the time. She'd be like, my fucking pussy. And I just thought it was so, like, I just loved her for that. - Talk about a reverent. - No, exactly. It was a Jesuit school. Make man, Papa don't preach. And I just remember being like, oh my God. That's like, I like wish I was her. You know what I mean? I was like, I love her energy and spirit. So yeah, I just kept going my fucking pushy. Oh my, a pushy. And I feel like, you know, people are so scared of the word pussy. And you can say. - Auto correct changes it to pussay, p-u-s-e-y. - And it also changes the acutane to accurate. - Yeah. - When would I ever wanna say accurate? - Never. 'Cause this is not a fact space, I'll guess. - Not here. I love all the scientists in our comments. - Oh my God, are the cure for the common cold clip. Someone commented, I hate this brand of science illiteracy is used for humor. Fuck off. - Hallelujah. - You know what, I have a great movie you'd love. - Shazam too. - Why don't you go watch and shut your mouth. - Shazam too, Fury of the Gods. - Oh yeah. - Isn't that what it's called? - Shocking of the Gods, make a choice. - Shocking of the Gods. Wait, where is the, okay. I know that Mattel wants to like make blockbusters. What about like, Nestle? - We have a Beanie Babies movie. So why not the Forever Show movie? - Is there a Beanie Babies on the way? - Oh yeah. Oh yeah. - Yeah. - The 90s are back. - Amen. (laughing) Next time you're around your boyfriend, your girlfriend, your lover. Feel free to say, oh my fucking peshy. Oh my peshy. - It didn't get old this weekend, I will say. - Edward actually texted me this morning. Do you want me to read what he said? (laughing) Edward, do I have permission? - I know this is gonna be beautiful prose. - My family's obsessed with Edward, by the way. - Okay, good. - They are so gagged for him. - Well, I need the skinner stamp of approval. - I mean, the British are coming. He said, missing you so much, actually. - Oh. - I said, no, I can't even talk about it. That's my response. Like, that's my guy. - And he's using I message for you, which is so rare. - I know. - But it's 'cause he misses you. So we tasked him 'cause he's our Group B slash tour manager. - Yeah. - I said, find us a strip club in Portland. Little did we know, it's the strip club capital of the country. - Totally, stripers are us. - I mean, it was stripers are, it was like, it was take your pick. - How many injunctions do you think Toys R.S. had to file once like everyone took a good format? - Sorry to R.S. - The same. - They really were talking about the pink prints. - It's the same number as like Watergate, you know what I mean? (laughing) - If I hear one more fucking controversy as Blankgate, come up with something else. Or have it, if it rhymes with water, totally get that. - You know what this episode is? This episode is our, come on, episode. Every pot has it. - Come on, it's our sign felled episode. - Really is. - This is a sign felled bounding. - This is us being all those dads that are like, I'm just like Larry David. And I'm like, no, you're being a dick. Larry can get away with it. - No, you just embarrassed me at the restaurant. - Larry's charming, you're hell. Strippers are us, sorry. - So Edward found this place called Mary's, which is one of the oldest strip clubs in the country. - I don't know, Mary, keep the home burden. - Don't even start on this. - I gotta see that plushie, Squirton. We were on one, you guys. We were, we had a lot of-- - No, because there was a gas leak in the hotel. (laughing) We were behaving as though there was a gas leak in the hotel. - This is, this is right heritage. - Oh, we should choose right heritage. - So Edward has this video he's shown me before, where this soccer coach football, if you're British, or anywhere else besides America, this football coach is talking about this era in football slash soccer, where it was all these amazing iconic players playing at the same time. And so he says it's football heritage. So then Edward was like, when there's an episode of ride, that's just irreverent, playful, doesn't take itself too seriously. When it's a totally tight episode, it's ride heritage. So the chicken's episodes ride heritage at slash Lord of the Rings. I would say light denim, carmex, it's ride heritage. - He said Ferraro, Shay's secret of mom's ride heritage. - Secret of mom's ride heritage. But I do think this will be ultimately ride heritage. - I think this is ride heritage. I mean, this is our reputation ride heritage. - Totally. - And the, come on! - This ain't for the best. - No, this is not for the best. - No, so Edward did a great job finding us the perfect strip club. And it happened to be walking distance from our hotel. And so we stopped by after the show. - And oh my God, I had the best time. - I can't even begin to. - My first time at a strip club. - No, I can't even begin to it. I, okay, so outside gorgeous neon sign, Mary's. Mary's, they had merch that was vintage jackets that they bought that they printed with it. - We purchased. - So it's like, they passed down through generations. I'm gonna have this Mary's jacket for the rest of my life. - It has a drawing of a woman with exposed breasts, fabulous teaching kids about sex education. - Of course, only merch can. - Merch, Super Bowl, and the Grammy's red carpet. - What's on my shirt, you ask? - My boss. - Oh, women's body, deal with it. - What was so incredible? We had this incredible stripper. We want to shout out Queenie. - Queenie. - We just absolutely loved you, me love. It was just like, everyone there was so kind. The owners were these like incredible sisters, I believe. - If not sisters, then they could be sisters. - Yeah. - They're just like, 40-something women running the place so classy, so like, they just had a smile on. They took pride in their work. 'Cause they were just like, yeah, we'll give you ones. - We were all lucky at Marys that night. All the strippers were just fabulous. I can't, some of them focused on the artistry. Some of them did a lot of pull work. They did a lot of acrobatics. Some of them just wanted to dance and use the pull as sort of like a supporting character and not a co-lead, you know, and I loved that. - I loved also, each one chose music that I think. I didn't know this, but you're really not supposed to dance, Edward taught us that. Which makes me think, how many strip clubs have you been to? - As a patron, as a patron. - You want to talk about cheating? They all have their own songs and their songs I've never heard before. I looked up a few. - You shazam to few? - There was that one that was like, "Impress to unjess." "Impress to unjess." And I was like, this is sick. - I need, we need that on the pre-show playlist. - This is on Renaissance. - One thing I really appreciated too was a lot of different representation as far as boob sizes. Which made me feel it was very inclusive. - Yeah. - It was inclusive. - Totally. Of course, at every strip club you're gonna see one guy who you think, I think the government should look into him a little bit. - Yeah. - But other than that, it was like, totally lovely. Do you know what I mean? I know the government could find something really quickly. - Yeah. - It would take five minutes on Reddit. - Everyone seemed lovely and it was just good vibes all around. So support your local strip club. I can't wait to go back. - I want everyone to know well, one that Mary's is incredible and it was lovely. Two, they serve food there. So I had tortilla chips. All the strippers were dancing. It was incredible. And also, I'm the first man in history to put on some of Friday's lit bomb butter at a strip club. I believe. - It's called her street. - Eat it up Neil Armstrong. (laughing) - On the way from Portland to Seattle we passed by the car museum. - Yes. - And we thought maybe we should stop there so that I could be the first woman to ever put on summer Fridays lit bomb at the car museum. - Yeah. Should we get into what we ride for? - I think we should. - This week I'm gonna be riding for my girls. - And this week I'm gonna be riding for girlies. Not the same.

My girls is pretty genderless, I will say, but right now I'm talking about like my daughters of Eve. It's like you and Emily, hey, my love. I know like I have my daughters, my daughters. And here's the thing about my girls. I'm not new to this. I'm true to this when it comes to my girls. I have always had my positive up for my girls. I will defend them till the last my last dying breath. I hope I'm surrounded by my girls. When you have your last dying breath, when the nurse wearing figs comes in, your girls will see you. And it's a group of women. Literally, I cannot wait to accept to their chins. Yeah. Ready to say goodbye, daddy? No, they're all going to say, love you, me love. They'll come in. Here's the thing with my girls. They've always protected me. They protect and they attack. And in elementary school, when people would be like, Ben's gay and they'd be like, no, he's fucking not. Like gunpoint, guns blazing. And it lasted in high school when they go to dances with me. The only thing about my girls that I'm just like still trying to wrap my head. It's just like it was hurtful to not be at the sleepovers. I know I could have contributed a lot. This was the 90s/early 2000s. And we weren't ready to break down gender norms yet. No, you're right. But I think now things are so different. I think it's why I have sleepovers now. Why I love adult sleepovers. Making up for last time. I'm making up for last time. Showing you guys what you missed out on. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, so I've just had this thing lately where I just all defend my girls to the death. And also when you're on a podcast with a woman, I feel like I now have a little bit more insight into the comments that women get every day. You're walking a mile in my hookas. I'm walking a mile in your Air Force ones. And the water's not warm. No. I would say really. It's actually kind of scolding hot. It's not comfortable. It's really, really uncomfortable. When it comes to my girls, there's like a different side of me that comes out. It's a Sasha fierce, if you will. I have an alter ego. I don't know what his name is. I read comments on your standup on YouTube and I'll like respond. I think I get so mad because like if someone brings up one of my girls, that's when like a different side of me, you know, like total otter, like hard to go. Like I'm, I don't really like confrontation unless you bring up my girls. Yeah. And this gets me to a really interesting point. If one of my girls dates you and you break up, we reach the end. That's the end of the road for us. And it's been a great journey. And I wish you well, but the curtains closing. I'm always going with my girls. Yeah. And the last thing my girls are going to see is me canoodling with an X. That's just not going to happen. No. No, it's over for us, champ. Sorry, bro. I'm going with my girl. That's my lady. That's me looking at my girls. That's my lady. I don't care, dude. We're done. It's important for errors to end, you know. I think so too. It's good. And it's not that I'm going to be. I'm not going to be rude to you. I'm just never going to speak to you again. And I think that's fine. I think if I see you at something, I'll say hi, but I would never reach out again. And my girls will never see me going to like a lunch or even a coffee with you. I don't even want to be in the same room. That's disgusting. No, I totally agree. And I've gotten shit for it in the past. This is what I'm saying. And this is why I just want everyone to know I ride for my girls. Of course. And seeing the crowd of baronies in front of me, those are all my girls. By the way, those are all my my memories. Remember the fuck you, JJ, at the show. Yeah. Someone got dumped that day that they came to the ride show. So selfish. JJ, if you're listening, my blood's boiling. I know you're shaking. If I'm so fucking crazy, then leave. Then leave. And I hope that's what all my girls say. I completely get what you mean. And I I've subscribed to this for a really long time. Obviously, I'm like fiercely loyal to my friends. Obviously, if you break up with someone, we're done. Don't say hi to me. Ever. People know this because my friend got broken up with at one of our friend's weddings. Which I'm like, that's unacceptable. Yeah. And I saw this guy in Brooklyn a few months later. He didn't say hi to me. I was so I looked him in the eye. And we didn't say anything. Oh, good. Because he fucking knew. Yeah. So when you reach top tier ride for your girls, don't come up to me. When people know that you ride for your girls, when they won't even look like they look you in the eye and they know, don't fuck say word. Don't say word. It's such an interesting dynamic because we see what people say and how they behave on the internet. So if you tell me that someone has liked a mean tweet about you or left a comment or you've overheard someone saying something, I will never address them publicly. I will never support the work. You might as well not exist because I don't give a fuck about people. Don't come for my people. That's my blood. That's my family. No, seriously. If they're going to be mean about my co-host, who by the way is hard of gold and super talented. So yeah, I'm just like, you go, you can go deal with that. I don't want anything to do with it. And if you're coming from my co-host because she won't fuck you, that's not that's not clearly you haven't tried hard enough. Yeah, exactly. So try a little harder. A little elbow grease. It's called putting on the ritz. I ride for my girls into the dead. It's like it started with my mom. I remember this one time she was she was a PE teacher and I was like drawing in a Barbie coloring book and I was like five. One of her students said something to me and my mom was like, really? And he was in the principal's office faster than I could color skipper's hair. In that moment, I was like, wow, just like my girls. And I will ride. Oh my god. My mom was at ride ride live in Seattle. And we asked her what she wrote for to end the show. Oh my god. She said, peace. How could I not ride for my girls? I know. When all they've got on their minds is peace. I know. Well, that's all anyone. That's all any of the baronies want is peace. And that's why we're mobilizing the army of love. And your mom actually made me think of Carrie Bradshaw because she of course looks like Sarah Jessica Parker in so many ways. And Sarah Jessica Parker, stop hanging out with Che. Oh my god. Don't invite them to your dinner. I don't like that. It's like, you know what? These are fictional characters, but we have to treat them as real. It's art. Like my thing is even if you think that the person doesn't care that you're hanging out with an ex or with maybe a friend that kind of they've had a falling out with, they care. We all care. That's why you got to ride for your girls. When they're your girls, I don't care. Blinders on whatever my girls say goes, sorry, think about your girls feelings because they probably don't want to see you with their ex. Even if they are like, no, it's fine. I don't care. They care. Everyone cares. People are thoughtless and they're selfish. Come on. Come on. You got to ride for your girls. And I will ride for my girls into the fricking sunset. I love you all so much. I know you're listening. Love you, bitches. My sisters like don't even get me started. My girls. It is like you want to talk about.
from a young age, and I think that's important. - It must be crazy for some of these boyfriends to see how quickly I will unfollow. That's gotta be crazy. - My favorite is never following in the first place. (laughing) It's called telling at the middleman. (laughing) - Works smarter, not harder. - Honey, my lovey, she's all about efficiency and structure. Okay, if there's no ring on it, honey, you get in the follow. - I guess this is my love letter to my girls. That's all I wanna say, and I'll write for you 'til the death. - Literally, one of my girls could kill someone, and I'd help them figure it out. I mean, what do you want me to say? - I would help them reach out to the authorities. - I'd say, damn, she probably had a good reason. - And let's get this, let's do it all above board. - Oh, and my girls are always right. Okay, now you can go. - This week I ride for girlies, which is a very simple concept. It's similar to your girls, but girlies to me, and it's a gender-neutral term. It's like the term fuck boy, we don't need a fuck girl. We don't need to call anyone a fuck girl ever. That does not sound good to me. That hurts my ears. Fuck boys gender neutral, girlies is also gender neutral. - Yeah, of course. - The phenomenon of girlies is when you see a group of people out in the world, and they're walking as a wolf pack, there's maybe, I think it has to be three or more to be considered girlies. Any gender, any combination, they're having fun together. They're laughing. They live to laugh, and they have a lust for life. I know they'd love ride if they've never heard it. - Totally. - But I just love seeing groups of friends who are walking together. And there's just this electric magnetism between them. There's a chemistry, and I see it a lot. I don't see it as much in LA, honestly, because people take cars, they take ubers, et cetera. But when you're in New York and London, that's where I've seen it so much. I just see a group of girls, and they're just laughing and having fun, and I know they're sending memes to each other, they're in group chats together, and they are just living their best lives. And it's at moments, you catch them at moments when I can tell that the way to the world is not on their shoulders, because they're with their friends. And I know that if one of them got cheated on or broken up with, the rest of them, you're dead to them. - Oh. - It's like-- - I can't even imagine. - It's a total, like, it's like an ecosystem of friendship, and I just, I really love seeing it. I ride so hard for them, it's the best. - Me too, it's, you know what? I think that's also why the tour has been so fun. It's because obviously you do this, but a podcast we can't actually like see people, and watch, you know, we can't watch them. Although I would love, you know, if you're ever listening to ride, go live. Like, we'd love to, you know-- - We'd love to see it. - We'd love to sit there and watch. It's just so fun to see, like, the community aspect of it. I think it's so beautiful. Like, seeing four girls wear shirts that say, "Save a horse, ride a cousin, all together." I mean, it gives me chills. - That was some of the merch at Ride. - Save a horse. - I can't even think about the levels to this, and the shirt was available online. They did not make this shirt-- - This makes my eyes roll into the back of my head. - Save a horse, ride a cousin. - Ride a cousin. - And that can mean whatever you want it to mean. - And I think there's a lot of beauty in that. - Amazon, there are easier ways to tell us you listen to ride. Jeff-- - Jeff, we know what you're doing. - Come on, you think you're so slick, but you're right. And I would lay down and die for any of these. My girls are in the girlies. - Something so interesting-- - We want me to do. - Phenomenon happening right now. Girlies are simulating the economy. And I wanna repeat, this is gender-neutral. So you can see a gaggle of guys. They could be straight. They could be gay. You can see a mix of girls, boys, non-binary people, all of them together. It just has to be a group of them. And they're having fun together. And there's no tension because they're just enjoying each other. - And it's love. - It's love. They're simulating the economy. My gorgeous sister-in-law is a reporter at the Wall Street Journal and she just didn't interview about how women are upholding the economy right now. Between Beyonce, Taylor Swift, the Barbie movie, The Ride Tour. It's explosive. - Come on, it's huge. - Because not only are they buying tickets to see the show, sometimes they're traveling to see the show. We had people from New Mexico, Alaska. I'll show you Spain at Ride Live. And they're buying outfits to wear to the shows. They're making bracelets to bring us the shows. So if we can just mobilize the girlies, which is something that I've always kind of strived, if strived is the past tense of strive to do, which I won't look it up, stripping maybe. Who knows? Don't never tell me. I just think it's such a powerful force. And I think the girlies are gonna turn out in the next like voting cycle. And I'm so excited to see what they accomplish. - When we flip the Senate. - Oh my god, I'm so excited. - I have to say this to you. This just popped into my head and I don't exactly know why, but I need to get it out. I just pictured like a woman owning a bead store and all of a sudden she has all this money and she's like buying Coke. - Oh yeah. - She's like, she can finally pay for the group dinner. - She's a total kingpin. - Oh yeah. - She's like, what the fuck is going on? And because of Taylor Swift in the red tour, she's like, why am I selling all these beads? Like, what the fuck is going on? - Female entrepreneurship. - Yeah, and now she's doing blow at the store. (laughing) - She's like a total, she's like completely changed. She is Scarface. - Power corrupts people and money corrupts people. - Power is corrupting up the bead store owners. - We're keeping it in check. And you know, it's people dressing up in cowboy hats with fringe and sequins go see Beyonce. - So cute. - It's so beautiful. And I just think that like, if girlies could run the world, I think if you're a man who can sustain really close male friendships, you guys should be the ones running for office. You guys should be the ones who date our friends and make them the happiest women. - I think they shall be British. - Of course. - I think I've had, I think I'm good with American men. - First time I saw a group of girlies that were boys was in England. 'Cause you don't see it as much here. Because they're not having fun. They just look like they're all flexing as they walk. - Edward and the pussy cats. - They're all walking with their muscles flexed and they just wanna like look like their tallest and with the biggest footprint. - You remember me at the pool in Seattle. I was doing this bit where this is one of those things where like it was so visceral of like being on a school trip where like everyone's like staying in a hotel or some kind of like sports thing. And there's always that guy in the pool who's flexing the entire time and is like, what's up you guys? And he can't breathe. - And he won't get in the pool if I'm sitting on the side. - And he's walking around and even when he's like, puts a towel on his stuff, just cannot stop. So funny to me. I don't know why. - That's what most groups of straight guys and they're walking in silence. - Yeah. - A little fun. - Come on. Part of the way you read. - As far as the Gurleys and stimulating the economy. Also the like bringing back like themed things. It's like going to Barbie and wearing costumes or Oppenheimer, which you know, just like all the Gurleys dressing. It's like all the like making your own shirts for all these tours. And so I just think it's all like, it's all just so joyous. And it is getting back to like a childlike sensibility of just like love and having fun and being yourself. And Gurleys allow you to do that. And my girls allowed me to do that. See you. - These ties. - Oh, it's a circle. - Time is a circle. - I also think that like millennials are maybe the first generation that have really been allowed to just like celebrate childhood. Our fashions from the early 2000s came back so quickly because now we have spending power and we wanna buy those clothes again. - You get to dress like Lizzie McGuire. - I get to buy a Dunian Burke bag on Poshmark. Dunian Burke Heart's collection. I wanted to say about Oppenheimer 'cause obviously we can't promote any studio films right now. - Oh yeah, yeah. But I wanted to say that Christopher Nolan Fabulous, one of my favorites of all time. I read an interview with him where he said he's allergic to wigs and movies and I thought, if that ate me. (laughing) That is so mean. - Seeing yourself reflected in culture. - In pop culture. - I thought about Oppenheimer a lot. And so I think that inception is about how an idea is the most powerful thing in the universe. You all know that my theory about interstellar is that it's a movie about how love is the most powerful thing in the universe. - Love. - Oppenheimer is a movie about how the atom bomb is the most powerful thing in the universe. So he completed it. Well done. - He's Trilogy. - Exactly. - He did the dark night Trilogy? - He did the dark night Trilogy, it's not. - That's not the Trilogy. This is his human Trilogy. - Genius. - I love it. - Ryderdy is gonna be very easy today. - You know what you are, Mary Beth? - Bisexual. - Well, yeah. But you're also my Ryderdy. - Ryderdy. - My girls, I just, I love you. And thank you for protecting all these queer people for so long. Like literally my girls, they just, they come out and droves. And they support, they've supported us forever. What's funny is there was only one girl who went against us and it was Nancy Reagan and she's in hell. - Yeah. - So, you know, I just, I needed to say that. But other than that, my girls, I'm gonna be with you, tell my last frickin' dying breath. - It made me so happy to see pregnant baronies at Ryderdy. Obviously, and I just wanna say, 'cause it goes without saying, but maybe it doesn't. If you don't want kids, I think that's fabulous. If you want kids, I think that's fabulous, and I hope you have an amazing pregnancy journey and all that stuff is fabulous. - I'm a coyote dad, it doesn't, you know. - And I'm a blinky girl, and we all have our different things. - We all have kids. - We all have kids in our own way, but seeing pregnant baronies, I was like, that's just gonna be a household full of love. It's more foot soldiers in our army. And I wanna make merch that says, it has boy crossed out, girl crossed out, and it's just this baroney. Little onesies for babies. Gender is kind of irrelevant. - I wanna know if they're a baroney or not. - Yeah, I don't care. - Have a baroney reveal party. - Yeah, we'll be there. - We will. - We'll be there to baptize them. - We'll set off the bazooka that explodes. - Full of love corn. - Oh my God. - The girlies. To say I ride is such an understatement. In fact, I ride and die for my girlies. I think it's joy. I love my girlies. I love being a girly. - I love seeing other people's girlies. - Joy, I mean, that's what this tour is called. - We're proudly that you're a member of a community. - It's besties. I think there's been a little bit of a return to love this summer. - Oh my God, last night I was at Skybar. For reasons, I'll tell you later. - Yeah, I'm really, really scared. I'm scared. - Female bartender. I have this new joke about how I think the military should only be gay guys and female bartenders. Come see me live if you want the full thing. because they're.
hard core. There are no one's doing it like they're doing it. Yeah. Oh, the gaze at the gaze at ride on the road. They're not playing games. They're ready to serve. Yeah. This female bartender is wearing Lululem and short shorts, Lululem and sports bra, elbow pads and knee pads. Edward goes, what's she training for? I said, you know what? She's a soldier in the army of love. Yeah. And she had a contour on full beat. I was like, this is fabulous. And I just think it's amazing and you know what? We keep spreading love. Sheeros. Sheeros and her street. And this episode definitely is probably the most negative we've ever gone. But sometimes you have to go through it. Like, you can't go over under. You have to just go through it. Some of the negativity today is almost like me getting defensive of like the community of love bubble. Totally. And I'm like, don't come near it. It's not, it's not for you. It's not for everyone sadly. Maybe they'll get on board at some point, but I ride for my girls. I ride for girlies. This is such a fun episode. This might be our longest episode. I can't think of what we were going to cut from this. But if it's the longest, then this is our love letter to you guys. Right heritage. Right heritage. Thank you guys. We love you sweats. We love. I read for you. Wait, you know what? We're going to talk about my girls. I read for my girl right there. I love you. Edward. That'd be good. Fucker. I love you. Oh, my exit. Please note that this episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
