HERITAGE COLLECTION: Quotes That Should Be Taught in Schools

This heritage episode of "Ride" captures Benito Skinner and Mary Beth Barone's signature blend of humor, personal stories, and cultural commentary. The conversation begins with Benito’s nostalgic recollection of his first pair of light-washed denim, sparking a discussion on tailoring, vintage shopping, and the value of supporting local artisans. They transition into playful comedic bits, including "that chick woke up in my house," a proud statement from a straight male persona, and "shice to McGuaggan," a nonsensical phrase they encourage listeners to use in intimate moments. The hosts also critique modern excess, from unnecessary startups launched by straight white men to celebrity makeup brands that lack genuine passion, advocating for creative integrity instead. They revisit classic films like "Hitch" and "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion," debating what ages well and the importance of context in comedy, especially given online backlash. A memorable anecdote involves a woman filming them over a parking spot in LA, which they handle with humor and confidence. They also share a theory about bisexual fashion, noting that those in LA dress like Jim Carey in "The Mask," while those in New York channel "Ace Ventura." Throughout, sponsor ads are woven in for products like GoFundMe, Thrive Cosmetics, and Tonal. The episode ends with a jazz rendition of Caroline Polachek’s "Welcome to My Island," showcasing their playful friendship and commitment to surprising each other.

Yeah, what's wrong? Nothing? Sure. Yeah, no, I just need a ride. Ride. Oh, over the place. I want to have fun. Star Heritage. Hi there. I'm Benito Skinner. I'm Mary Beffarone. And this is 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 um, 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 Beffarone just cut her 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? Mm-hmm. Let's go on the journey. For the Ride Heritage Collection. Shh. How do these things stay in the air? So I got my first pair of lightwashed denim when I was abroad in London. I still can see the pair now. I saved up, I saved up so much cash to buy them at APC. So that was the era of you had to have APC genes. You know, it was just like, it was thing. Well, I got this pair of lightwashed denim and I showed them to a friend at the time. And you know what he said to me? He's like, I thought they'd look gay or on you, but they don't. This is pre. This is pre-me coming out. And I was like, they just started to see how my butt looked in them. They went with everything. And also, they lightened everything up. You know, there wasn't anything that didn't look good with a pair of light denim. What was the cut of this pair? So this is tighter than I usually go. And I really don't think I will ever wear tight pants again. These were more of like a straight leg, like not, you know, it's like slim straight, I would say. Not too tight, they had a little stretch in them, which I don't love. And I learned a really good lesson during this time. I mean, this was my first pair of light denim, so you're not going to immediately get all the rules. It's not going to be your perfect pair. It's not going to be your first pair. Of course not. They were good though. And I was super into tailoring at that time, which is so funny that you brought it back into my life, because I haven't done it in a while. Here's why I like tailors. They're small businesses. I agree. Locally owned, usually. I'm waiting for like the tailor, like the apple of tailors. This way's your name tailor. That's just going to come in and just like shut everyone down. What's going to be called tailor T-A-Y-R. Yeah. Okay. Tailor. You're going to pronounce it, tailor. Yeah. And so, I like supporting small businesses. I like shopping local. I like when there's just like a guy there, and you have to like call and see if he's there, because it's a laundromat. And you're like, is the tailor in today? And they're like, he'll be in at 11. And they start touching your T-shirt too. And you're like, oh, I guess I'm scared that tailor'd. I'm like, add it to the list. But I love it. And also, I feel like, so sort of like with microwaves. I'm almost like, we need to meet in the middle, because like, there's so many microwaves. And yet, there's like five clothing sizes for every human being. I feel like maybe we could do some more like sizing. It's just crazy to think that like the clothing sizes that we offer should fit every single human body in the right way. And we can spend, you know, 20 bucks to get your jeans like a little bit like pinched, and then you're good. And they feel like a million bucks. You don't have to stress about sizing. Like, I am right now. This set off a chain reaction, as some things do. But what I learned quickly was I was like, okay, then I went to a vintage store, and I got a pair of old lightwashed Levi's. Oh, that will change your life. There's nothing better. I really don't think you can buy light denim that's been made light, like for when you buy it in the store. I think vintage denim that's been light over time. Fabulous. Emma, say it with the smart shell. Fabulous. Even Fabulous. Fabulous. Totally Fabulous. That's what I said, as what I was pretending to be straight. I put them on and I went Fabulous. Yes, I knew light denim would be in. Oh, yeah. Sometimes it comes to you, girl, ride. So in between someone on your birthday post, your birthday was recently. And the best ride comment on ride the pod, if you're not following your only getting half the story, the best comment of all time was when not caring about your birthday means are you going to post about it? Because I did post about your birthday at like 7 p.m. I was asleep already because I was in London, but I woke up to it. Yeah, the day after your birthday, it's like the final gift in a lot of ways. Right, it's the punctuation mark. So someone did that. The other comment was, I can only imagine how many eras there have been since you stopped recording. I know. And this was one almost like the second after we wrap. So this is like, but it has staying power. It does. So we were in Santa Barbara for first time female director. If you haven't seen it, get on your Roku right now. Go buy a Roku TV. Go take a one-way trip to Roku. Oh, honey. Around trip. You know, we were there for that. And we drove by this place and someone's like, that's where Ellen lives. And I did marry Beth. I just said, I think Ellen, every morning she wakes up, Porsche is sitting there having a matcha. She definitely gives me matcha energy. And Ellen looks out over all the Santa Barbara and goes, I can't even do it. They tried to cancel me. Sorry. I'll do one more time clean. Try to do a clean take. We're keeping both. Yeah, okay. That's the era. So that's the era. It's Ellen. Yeah. So sometimes there's eras where like, when I'm in a conversation with not you and I want to say it, but it doesn't make sense to that person. And then I would have to explain it to them. That's one that's come up a lot for me. It's like wanting to just say that. I'm wondering if this, but I doubted Chishtima Gwagin and what my kids have done with it. Like they've taken it to totally new places. And they spell it right every time. There's no wrong way to spell it. Oh, it's fun with language. It's fun with language. Pictureing you at like a pub in London about to say that you have with no context when they tried to cancel me. It's a bunch of British actors looking at you. All the babies at the pub are like what? You know that they bring kids to pubs there and stuff. Of course, it's a family place. It's totally family place. First Sunday roast. I just said it's totally family place vibes. We got this kid. We got this kid. Pub culture's so funny and I'm glad you brought that up because like British people love just like go to the pub and I'm like, okay, but they all look the same. It's like dark wood and I love dark wood. You've seen my apartment. I know you love dark wood. You know, I love dark wood. I'm like, but it's just like the pub, you know, I'm more of like a dive bar type of girl. Totally. You have that vibe. Just staying home. Hi, Odee Ugly. Oh, or can I just say not going anywhere? Not going out. Ride. Should we get into that girl look up in my house? Yeah, so there is this era that did occur before season three. You just continue to inspire me, dude. Duty. Duty. Do that. Remember, do that era. Yeah. - Yeah. - And remember, save the boobies? - Yeah. - Just those thick bracelets from Zoomies. - There was a crazy campaign. - Never wore those. - Remember lick cancer? That was like a thing. - We were doing like all kinds of crazy shit to cancer on T-shirts. - I know. - Cancer can stick it up my butt. It's like, actually I prefer it. - Can cancer come over here and kiss me? - That's like, nope, don't want that. No, absolutely not. - I'm good. - My grandma had breast cancer twice. And during football, there was that month. I think it's breast cancer awareness month. Is that October? - It could be. - It might be. I think it's either October or September, but everyone added pink to their uniforms. - I bet you love that. - I did. - I bet you went a little crazy with that. - Save the boobies, baby. I loved it. It was great. It was a great cause. And I loved the flair of it all. - And you know, I'm passionate about boobies. And I think we do need to save them. - Absolutely. - So. - So, it's chick woke up in my house. - Let's go, woke up in my house. (laughing) - So, Mary Beth and I one morning, she was staying with me, but I actually worked out earlier than you. - You were the hour session before me. - Which has never happened before you. - Never, it was like six. - Really weird. - Which, I don't know how you do that cause I have to have a coffee and it needs to be a little warmed up cause in my bad low back, which is firing crazy right now. - You've heard of mental illness, yes? - Yes. - So that's how I get there at six. - Of course. - Yes. - That's what Terry said. He's like, I can't believe you're still working out. I'm just like, oh, this is it now. - We have to. - Yeah. It does make me feel a little better. - Good. Hold on. I mean, that's as good as it gets these days. - I'm just thinking about how lucky I am cause this girl woke up in my house. So, Mary Beth enters the gym. At that point, I've been with J.R. I'm warmed up and with my guy, I'm loose. And you know, you walk in. It's like, it's me and a bunch of straight guys and we're all talking about my butt. So it's like, it's just a cool hour for me. - Absolutely. - Like, you can't imagine. I mean, if it was all gay, guys, we wouldn't say a word about it. - Right. - But since it's all straight, guys, I am literally like-- - They feel free to say, Benny, you're kicked up. - You're kicked up. They're like, shit! And I show them the arch and they go, whoa! - Whoa! - Like, they go crazy. So Mary Beth walks in and it's just sometimes I see you and I have to fuck with you in a way that's animal. It's animalistic. And I just saw you and I thought, that chick woke up in my house. (laughing) - I think I was wearing your shirt too. - She's left in my fucking house last night, dude. - I loved this character of a straight guy that's just really proud to have had you sleep over instantly, you know? - And I think that straight guys could take a note. - I agree. - Be proud. Be proud when a girl woke up in your house. - It's so cool. - It doesn't happen every day. And I know it doesn't happen every day for me. So I was proud, but Jay, I really, he got a kick out of that one. He still says it to me sometimes. - I love that era. - Because did she wake up in your house? (laughing) - And honestly, most of the time, yeah. - And yeah, she did with me on your house. - Oh my god, the amount of time you've been in talk therapy and I've just like, I've opened the door and I'm about to like, either ultimately fart on you or jump your bones. - Or sing to me. - And I say jump your bones in a very specific way. - You walk in, you do your thing, then you walk out and I sit at my therapist, so that's Benny and she goes, oh, he seems really cool. - Oh, that's so sweet. She says that. - She loves you. - Well, she should. - Just heard all about it. - Hey, she should. - We should. - You know, because you have to bring the good and the bad to therapy. So there's this time that we spend talking about the good, which is Benny. And then we spend time talking about the bad, which I'm not gonna get into right now. - Yeah, we will later at some point. - We will, we will at some point. I do want to speak on something that's happening in my personal life, but I don't think it's going to be this episode. It's not anything to do with my relationship status though. - Okay, cool. - It's about family. - Yeah. - And it's about love. - I think this is yet another episode I'd like to bring up that I was asked at the Peabody Awards about your relationship status. - Yes, on that note. - Yes. - I did want to say, so I'm going to a lesbian wedding. - Yes, so good. - Into leaks. - And on that note, yeah. - I'm going to a lesbian wedding in two weeks. - These chicks woke up in my house. - Let's be real.

So I have always loved chairs and I feel like now that I have my own space, I can really fill it with different places to sit. So in my apartment right now, I have that desk chair that's like the posture ones to like hook in your room, you hook your legs like underneath for posture. - When I'm in that for some reason, I just like, it's key to me. Like I'm arching my back and I'm like, I'm busing down on it kind of. - Well, you can make any chair sexual. - Oh my God. - Oh my God. - I'm your wife and I'm sexual and I love you. (laughing) - I have the desk chair, I'm just gonna go like clockwise. I have this ottoman I got at a vintage store in Brooklyn. Oh my God. - In Greenpoint. And then obviously my bed functions as seating in some ways because it is a studio apartment. Then I have a couch that was my, so couches, I don't know if you've looked for a couch recently. Couches, we need to pull back. - Well, they're all on the harbor. - They can't get 'em. They take my chain. - They take my chain. - The supply chain, I swear to God. If you order a couch, it's like, Yeah, it's going to be there in 2030. Yeah, I couldn't deal with that I read a postard one for my parents house, and I felt good because that's like better for the planet Mm-hmm. It's not raw materials. Yeah, I love like oh like just fucking craftsman less Get ready with me more craftsman more cobblers more people with skills Please come on. Yeah, I can't do this anymore. I know I watched a straight guy recently Do one and it was like he put on chinos and a white shirt, and he did that thing where you put the chinos over your butt And you show that and I'm just like what? Well men's fashion influencers Don't wear my buck Mason t. Oh I had to do that. I've been playing that one. That's the book Mason Babe, that's the book Mason. That's the book Mason. Wait to get your boyfriend's attention All you have to say is hey babe. Can I just wear this buck Mason t to work? I just need something like to throw on Yeah, and watch what happened. No, that one babe The the tell your boyfriend. You're gonna wear his buck Mason t challenge. Come on I do want to shout out Jake Wolf is a really fabulous men's fashion influencer and Watching videos. Yeah, we're watching. I love the proportions. Hey, you've got our attention. You've got our attention head Sometimes they don't follow fashion influencers because I'm like oh like all day you get to put together outfits I know here. I am at my computer a total geek Yeah, the next chair also you should know that my couch is green velvet. They know they know the next chair I have is our cup chair, which is from article. Mm-hmm. Obviously. Yeah, I got two of them One is in my place and one is at my parents house because I don't have a big enough apartment yet for that many chairs Although I do have two more chairs. I think this year might be the year babe. I have three more chairs actually So I have a chair. I got it at mother of junk and then I have two other ones that I got repulsed for my parents house So I'm really all about repurposing chairs because like chairs never die like we should be keeping them alive We should be passing them on from generation to generation chair It's so confusing sometimes Are you gonna sit on it? I've had enough This is my chair What's great about chairs is you can you can sit on them or you can put stuff on them Think about that. Oh my god. I just thought of this gorgeous chair. That's in our living room. I don't I don't know that chair And you did that my birthday I didn't have my birthday. Oh my god Imagine the level so understanding this joke We will end this podcast with two listeners and it'll be us Sorry Down for you So we were just riffing on putting chair in places where it doesn't belong the word chair I've never left this hurt as a show. I'm like. I'm saw I'm fully sobbing So we were riffing on We can do one more time and he did it with chair We're saying this as she's eating at rice to riches. Oh, rice to riches was literally Bullying me. Yes, yeah, I was reading a few of the science and it was like why don't you kill yourself? It was Jimmy John's So Jimmy John's got it So just to break that joke down for you, we were just riffing on putting chair in songs And where it's not chair Just to go back to pull back the curtain. No, of course And then there's this line read which we wrote for we wrote for line reads There's a line read from Hitch where Ava Mendes's character is talking about the state that went horribly horribly well the butcher and he did it with flare Yeah, he bombed but he did it with flare So then we just said he did it with chair and like a little joke. Yeah, it's like it's our thing. Don't worry about it Ride we're living in a time where we have so much media from past generations and we can reflect on things We have a lot more awareness now. We have a lot more tact on this note Sometimes the speed at which we have grown I think we should take a moment and feel good about that I think take point oh one seconds and think about that, but it's kind of alarming You'll watch something from like 2012 and be like holy shit Yeah, and I could have just as easily written for things that don't age well because it's good to know where you've come from Mm-hmm, and I think this is a line from Hitch like how do you know where you're going if you don't know where you've been please say Hitch age Well, Hitch age I say it like a fine line. Oh girl now. I would here's the other thing like a Zim Fendell Like a seven deadly Zim Fendell. Here's the other thing if things aren't Egregious in their not aging well. Let's just say that it aged well. Mm-hmm. So Hitch for example I think some people are like oh, it's creepy. He helps guys manipulate women into falling in law for them But actually if you watch to the end it turns out that nothing he did like the men had it there all along Well, that's the message. That's the best part of the script everything he told him to do So actually he's not that good at his job. Right. He just creates opportunities. I think but like he will have to be won over by people to see diamonds in the rough Exactly and also for people we talked about this a little bit of like maybe you don't need to have everything in common with someone Maybe there are exactly what you thought would be right for you. Maybe there's more than meets. Yeah, it's the iceberg and in that moment You fall. You fall. He falls in the middle when it's if you when I grow up They said in love. Continue. Hitch is a great example of a movie that aged well Mm-hmm. I've been revisiting the classics lately. It's not even to see if they age well I'm just like I want to watch comfort movies. So devil's product legally blonde miscongeniality fever pitch as I've said There's so many movies that just They stand the test of time Made man hadn't the only thing that didn't age well and that is her wearing a dull chain up on a coat That didn't age well also. It's so funny and made man hadn't that he's a Republican But early 2000s Republicans were so different. Oh totally like they were not what we but we now know as Republican and I have chills let me just not cold in here. Yeah, but they're coming for us in Miami I think also if there's like one aspect of a movie or like one line that doesn't age well to me that's still age as well Austin Powers for example the first one I rewatched it and I was Trepidacious to to say the least I was a little nervous. There's one part that is bad There's one part. I won't say what it is But in the movie Austin powers if you recall when Miss Kensington is drunk and she wants to sleep with Austin He says no, no you're drunk like there are those little moments that you didn't even acknowledge back then because you didn't know that they could have done at the opposite change the brains of every young Man-watching. Yeah, Clueless also age as well. Romy Michelle's high school reunion is ages perfectly. Yeah, by the way Yeah, I just perfectly Romy Michelle's high school reunion ages so so well. It is about Bimbo's It's about female friendship Bimbo writes mutants and proud Mira Sorvino basically was blacklisted in Hollywood because she went to sleep with Harvey Weinstein She had been nominated for an Academy Award the year before Romy Michelle's high school reunion Also in the table read and I just got chills. She just did the funny voice. I can't remember where I read this But she just decided to like talk like this like Rumi She died cooks please you have like a business woman special god sorry. It's so yeah, it's fabulous Obviously when I look at a movie that has Miramax in the beginning as one of the production companies. I'm thinking okay Inherently it's hard for the stage well because Harvey Weinstein was involved. Yeah, but like sometimes you do have to separate that You just can enjoy the film and appreciate all the probably women queer people people of color that went into making the movie And made it what is so amazing about it because it's hard sometimes when you see something It's a little tainted when I see Miramax. That doesn't mean it didn't age well. I think Lisa Kudrow She was just in it because they had done like a play of it It was like a sketch thing. I actually will post the real fact of this when this episode comes out But I believe yeah, and this was pre-friends. She had just done the play Lisa Kudrow was just always in the show and then they yeah so good and on IMDB trivia Alan coming says that if it was About two guys there would have been like six sequels by now, but because Hollywood's so misogynistic also Alan coming was in spice world He was in Josie in the pussy cats and he was in Romeo and Michelle's high school reunion He has been in like every great movie that like raised me I showed Edward Josie in the pussy cats as well, which definitely aged 12 Yeah, and it's just I don't know cinema then you don't see that anymore Girl power girl power and I do think now like characters are written to like correct for a lot of what we've gotten wrong In the past in the way that if a character says something that's true to their character But it would be like it not woke or whatever they almost like correct themselves in the moment as the character And obviously I don't think we should be like writing characters that are bigots But I do think sometimes for the sake of the joke if someone says something off color. Yeah, it's okay The growth of the character and yeah, I get that Charlie's angels ages really well except for a few costumes. I won't lie about that But everything else is pretty fabulous. I watched it recently and holy ish That my wagon it's also I just launched shy steam a wagon. Oh, oh my god You want to get into that a little bit? I just I never thought I would say this on the pod I really actually can't believe I just did that. That was and that was like that just came out this was season two I Came up with something a few years back Terry pre he said promise you'll never give them this. It's the one thing. - Should we not then? - I think we have to. - I think it's time. - Terry's like, I have nothing left just for me. Like I do feel bad, but that monetize the friendship. - There will be one thing. I know that there will be something new. Do you know what I mean? My muse is present. She's ever absent. I, one day I was asked like any tips for guys. Like it was, I think it was, I don't know if it was empty. - He was interviewing you? - GQ is interviewing. - Do you have any tips for guys like, and how to like bag, like, check? - Do you have any tips? It was Men's Health Mag. And they asked if I had any tips for guys. - Yes, you're work out routine. - What's up in my PT? - Sorry, I love the thought of going to an airport and buying men's health and looking at something with Glen Powell naked in it as just a team, watching, like, looking at six packages. - It's not gay because I'm, I'm jotting down the workout routine. - Literally, the amount of magazines I bought at airports that were just like gay porn for me. Like GQ and Men's Health, it was fabulous. - Yeah, it was like, you know, shrouded in mystery, it was, of a gentleman. - It was shrouded in supplements. - Sorry, I'm, I'm, it's-- - The vitamin shop. We love. - Shice to McGuaggan. I don't know exactly where it came from, but I just remember giving advice to my girls. It's like, when you're hooking up with a guy, right, before he's about to blow his love. - Right before the big show. You look him in the eye and you say, "Shice, I can't even do it." - This is soda rain. - This is soda rain. - Shice to McGuaggan, Abraham, what do you think? - Imagine doing that. - I don't know if I'd be turned on to the balls you have, or at the same time, I'd just be, look at you like, "Okay, yeah, that's fine." - No, it's, it's, it's fearless Taylor's version. It's fearless. It really is. - It's fearless. - It really is. - Fearless. - Show him who you are. - No, it's a Shice to McGuaggan and you look him and you kind of show all your teeth. It's the ultimate test if he still wants to, to do the deed and also, this is only if he's made you come. - Right. - Are you allowed to say this? - This will happen two times. - In the history of mankind. - Yeah, you only do it twice. - You do it twice. - But in those moments, will he stay? I don't know if we can keep this in the pod. Are the girls ready for Shice to McGuaggan? - There's only one way to find out. We didn't think they were ready for firewug. I certainly didn't. - Firewug. - And that caught on like wild firewug. So. - Yeah. I guess it's time for Shice to McGuaggan. - Same kind of thing where I just liked the way it sounded in my, like say it right now. - Shice to McGuaggan and look at your guy, Shice to McGuaggan. I don't know, I really have no idea what it means, but it's just, it's just something I like said one day. Shice to McGuaggan. - I think it's cool and fun and goofy. So in the spirit of ride giving girls permission to be goofy, I think they should try this. Or just like joke with your friends about it. That's also fine. - Look yourself in the mirror and say, "Shice to McGuaggan." - If you don't know what to say, don't be quiet, just say, "Shice to McGuaggan." - If you have nothing nice to say, say, "Shice to McGuaggan" to come on. - Ride. - And then before we talk about Kirk Plunk, I also did want to say, sorry, this chick woke up in my house. - I just wanted to say that on the issue of disclaimers because it was mentioned on the Reddit. Here's what I'll say about disclaimers. - Someone did send me that. - We hold a mirror up to society. If you don't like what you see, change it. - Exactly. - We're reflecting it back at you. And if you want to know why you put disclaimers on everything, if you want to know and we're not cutting that, I just fumbled and I'm human. If you want an issue. - An issue. - An issue. - I know. I'll talk about the origin of unusual later. But if you want to know why we do disclaimers on everything, look at the last few posts on the Reddit. One was about the length of the episodes and one was about an ad-free version. People are attacking each other in the comments where it's just like, can you just assume that these questions are coming from a good place and everybody wants us to succeed and thrive. And if you can't do that and if you look at these comments, you will see why we put a disclaimer. Because the last thing we want to do is like alienate our audience. - I will say, I'm seeing this in the news right now of Sarah Jessica Parker. Have you seen this where there's kind of like this fake news going around of fake news. This is many drama. - You hit the fake news. - Hit the fake news button. - Oh god, I love that button. And they're trying to like make it into Sarah Jessica Parker, like feverishly trying to pitch and just like that to all these other networks because she hates HBO so much. And I'm just like, I don't know how to tell you this. There is no fucking way that's true. Like I'm just like, this is insane. And I just think at a certain point, it's like, I think we do this because I think there is a natural tendency. And I do think that because of the world we live in, it's like everyone must have the worst intentions, be an absolute psycho and an ordinary mayor and, you know, and be uneducated and ignorant and hateful. It's like, I get it. But that's why we do them because honestly, not everyone listening to the podcast has heard everything else and it comes to things with history or context. It would happen with my videos all the time. It's literally why I think it's really hard for me to ever think about getting excited about making sketches anymore because yeah, there was a time where people thought I worked at the White House. So it's just at a certain point, it's like, should I start everything by being like, this is a joke. And that's why overcompensating felt so good. I just think that there are some media that people are coming to with either history or a knowledge of like, this is creation. When I heard it, and just like that was ending, the first thing I thought was, come on, come back. Come on, come back. So, I was in a bathroom with a friend and it was a male friend. I just want to be here. It was a male friend. It was not Mary Beth. She would never do something like this, but I was in a bathroom with a friend and I was looking in the mirror and they were in a stall and they shit, and there was a sound and I couldn't help it. I just like had this moment and I just said, I'm giving it my best. Come on. Come on, come on, come on, come on, it's, it's like, we talked about it last night. It's like toxic positive and he brainwrot to such a degree. No, it's honestly really scary. Come on, come on, come on, yes, come on, I couldn't, we laughed so hard. I heard him laughing in the stall. I'll never tell you who this is. He would kill me. We were laughing so hard. He was just like, if someone did that to me, who was it you? I would never speak to them again, but it was like, come on, come on, the word, I can't even say what it is. You know what I mean? There's no word in English. When I texted him later, all caps, it in the invisible thing and it said come on, come on, K-E-R-P-L-U-N-K, obviously, I just want to make sure you have it just in case. When you send it to me, but welcome to their curplunk era, so morning, morning, so curplunk, this one's going to be hard. I know it's not far from me. This one's going to be hard. Hi, I started using Jones Road Beauty Miracle Balm. It enhances my skin instead of masking it with layers of makeup, giving me the effortless natural look that I was looking for.

It's not a complicated routine. Just use your fingers and go. I mean, you know, I'm a girl on the go. So that's why I use the Miracle Balm.

Oh, sorry, pinky, or taking pinky for a walk. Every formula is packed with skin loving ingredients. It nourishes your skin instead of clogging your caking.

I'm glad it's on camera. I was doing our friend Emily's makeup recently, and I said, "I want to show you something unbelievable." So it's the unbelievable's era, which I think if I'm thinking of this character, you're in a European city, you're eating with a friend, and this guy walks up with a camera, like a cannon, make every shot. A power shot. Something unbelievable. So he walks up, and he's like a scam artist ultimately, and so he says, "I want to show you something unbelievable." And he's wearing all our money exchange. Totally. His name's Sebastian. Are the jeans ripped? Of course. Shredded and skin tight. So tight that the skin like pours out of it. They look painted on. Yeah, but when the holes, it's like the skin can breathe because the pants are so tight. I know this guy. I just want to say, I know this guy. Also, it's sort of giving, so in sister of the travel pants, which we've talked about at length, Kostas, like clearly wasn't really Greek. And so his accent was like, "Oh, fuck. What's the what's the iconic line?" He says, "Or is it something else?" And he could totally come up to Alexis Podel's character and say, "I want to show you something unbelievable." I want to show you something. Bus. Can you come back to my place so she's something unbelievable. They're like, "What?" It's a view of the city you can't get anywhere else. Literally. We kept thinking all weekend like what he's showing them. Death was one, two. Oh yeah. No, death is the only option. Sorry, or a mirror that he showed. He puts them in front of the mirror and shows them themselves. And he does their hair and he says, "Look at yourself." He does their hair and he does that thing where you put the hair together just to make it tease out. He goes like this. You know my next era is getting into hair. Yeah, new era. Let us know what you think. I love it because I mean, I've a lot of experience in the space. I want to dress up like him and go to Italy. I want to be in Florence. You have to slink your hair back, though. It has to look like it's one piece of hair. Of course. And the t-shirt will just say, "A acts our money." And it has to have a red stripe across it and look a little bit frayed. Of course. The stripe itself is frayed, not the t-shirt. You know what I'm talking about. This drag up your nose. I want to show you something. I want to chase. And so is the boot company boots. Totally. Wow. Black leather be loves. Yeah, but a Chelsea boot. And a little pointed. That's a zipper. That has a zipper up it. Ultimately, he is like a murderer, but I think my first serial killer character. Can I say something? I'm always going to ask first. Of course. Of course. Basically, joking about death I think is actually a good thing because our society is so preoccupied with death and violence. And if we weren't, then death would actually seem more like the completion of life as opposed to something that we should fear. That's something I read in Bell Hooks. So one read that book. Love multiplies love. And hate, multiplies hate. I've been thinking a lot about artificial intelligence because it's a huge thought. Well, you have a smoky I. Well, everyone's saying it's a huge threat, right? Like I don't know the specifics. I don't know the details. I know it's starting jobs. It's starting lives potentially. I mean, I'm reading it's going to lead to the collapse of society. So I just wanted to say that in doing some reflecting on artificial intelligence, AI, if you will, I just think it's like AI could never do ride. Like I would love to plug in every episode of ride and see if AI could ride an episode. I genuinely think that's how we beat it is we give it all the episodes of ride. Literally artificial intelligence. It'll blow up. They have robots that are threatening humanity. It's a good something unbelievable. It gets to the love corn episode and it just and then they all explode. It's like the fan bots when Austin powers starts like 100% that's how we beat AI is we say, all right, okay, we've tracked the code pans up. So we have job security and we're going to save the planet and that's kind of what ride is about. I agree. That should be our movie pitch. We got it. We got it. That's way we walk into the pitch. I want to show you something unbelievable ride. Something else I'd like to touch upon. There's nothing harder than being a woman dating a straight man who is looking to buy a leather jacket. Amplify. I have nothing. It's back to back for me to I've dated two straight guys in a row who were looking to buy a leather jacket. When I tell you. I'm so sorry. My heart goes out. The amount that they want it worn in but maybe they want new but actually the price is so much do you know the amount of links the amount of links and then it's about the shape and it's about the color and is it brown or black? I've been through too much. The next person I date the next guy date he will have already acquired. I can't be with someone that's like in the process of looking for that and like you have to have found it. You mean a guy you like it's you busting down his door. Day one. Where's the closet? Show it to me. Put it on the jacket. Show me the leather jacket. I have one. I'm good. You have a few. Well come on. Ride. There comes a time in every white man's life where he must look in the mirror at himself and think I have this idea but I'm not going to get a patent on it. I really think more white men should think about it and just say maybe it's not for me. I recently had the idea of like I loved these pants and I couldn't find them anywhere and I was like should I make them and then I looked in the mirror and I thought fuck no. There are so many pants on earth. I don't need to contribute more pants. You know what I'm going to ask you to talk about. What? I literally can't. I literally can't. I oh my god. A fuck. That's a problem with this podcast. We have to go out in the world and like people know. Yeah, I wish I could tell my kids everything. If you catch us in an airport. I will say the things I've revealed on stage at standup. It's incredible. Yeah. A flight attendant on Delta recently was like asking me a bunch of questions. I just went off. I was like anything. I said to Taint, start from the top. What do you want? What do you want to know? Person to person which is also the series finale. The name of the series finale of Mad Men person to person. Person to person all reveal all. Yeah, I was like giving like the full script secrets from overcompatating season two to people. I'm like, well, if at least I don't know where to find you. Yeah. And this should be in the skies. Well, of course, spreading the good news. But I just think maybe there are too many businesses that exist. And I'm not talking about local artisans, mom and pop shops. I love all of those. I'm talking more just like specifically this type of like tech, bro, we like start up be kind of thing that just like we didn't need. You know, when I overheard someone said it was like, why don't we put the stock price in the deck? What do you think? I think we should just like we should. And I was just like, I'm hearing this on the phone. It's like, I'm on my way. Where's it even going this morning? I literally don't remember where I went this morning. Where? I went to get a haircut. And I was just hearing I'm talking. And I was like, I hope your business is like helping reduce carbon emissions or something, but it's not. No, it's not. I'm sure it's making more. I know we have way too many businesses because as I've stated before on the subway, they advertise beat it beat business to business. Like they're advertising like HR platforms on the subway. It's like there should not be enough people that would need that on the subway. You should not feel like that's useful marketing. That should be in like a newsletter for like merchants. What there are for merchants exactly. Here's the thing. I just think like I ride for this because it is a choice. And we all have to realize that. And I'm not saying like everybody's business is bad. Like I a lot of them. I'm like, Hell yeah. That's I'm totally necessary. Some are totally necessary and some are totally fabulous. I just think think about if it really is needed. If we needed or if your expertise could be used on something that we already have that could improve. Like Benny drama's pleaded pant. I don't know if we need that business, but maybe some of you. I mean, I'm looking at Paul right now and he's kind of like shit. I'd pre-order. Well, we're not saying either that we would never do a collab in the future, but I think starting a business my thing when I get into thinking about it, even with merch, which I'm launching tour merch. And I'm like, I just don't want to be creating waste and I think like they're so Curella when merge samples come in. You're like hack it in the middle. Try not to sleeve the next two wide. I need to do that bullshit nanny. She gave those puppies away. She was a house manager, but I just think as your footprint grows, you know, as an entity, I think you will be probably approached to like launch a skincare, launch makeup or launch this stuff. I'm like, I love to stay, I want to stay. Yeah, I also, and I like it. I would amplify also people. It's like, I'm a writer, actor, comedian, mostly hyphenate. Like, that's why I do. Like, that's me. Like, that's what I do. That's my lane. So if it was something skincare, I would do like a collab with some of them. I would never start mail. I don't have, I'm like, no, no, leave it to the professionals. It's like makeup brands. I'm like, leave it to the makeup artist. So much of that stuff is like white label. And so they're just, it's the same stuff you could buy from other brands. It just has their name on it. Well, I wanted to find this quote about, and I've already talked about my least I was talking about why she didn't start a business. And she's just like, it's just I'm not passionate about these things. Like, I just find it hard to believe that everyone that's launched a makeup brand, it's because they're like super passionate about like filling a space in the market that's not currently being served because what you're doing is like, maybe you're creating jobs, but like you're also creating so much waste. I know. And it's like, yeah, I think that's my one. That's one tricky part of this. It's caveat. It's like, obviously I want, I want jobs. I want, you know, I want people to be able to afford their lives and their wants and needs. But yeah, it's just, I guess it's specifically straight white men coming up some bullshit. I don't need your, I don't need your bullshit. We have enough of it. We've gotten enough of it. The world was literally built and made for you. I know you can find a job elsewhere. Please or live off your parents money. But I guess if it does consume their days so that they don't hit you, I'm like, maybe I want them to work on the deck. It's just hard. I guess you're finding me. I'm trying to find the information here. Life's a give and take, but I just, I ride that I can look in the mirror and know that like it's just not for me. I'm not starting a business. You are not going to be putting together financial assessments of anything or approving them. No, it's not looking good. I think it's big of you. It's hubris. You think so? I think it's hubris. It's crazy to have a last name skin or not do anything in the skincare industry. But I think like you found what you want to do when you're doing it. Yeah, production companies don't count. I already asked. Of course, production companies, that's like different. I mean, we're being creative and like we're telling we're storytellers. Yeah, exactly. And that's my job. I'm like, I, it's like leave it to the pros, my goodness, and let them shine that too. I find it odd too when I'm thinking like some of these people that are starting companies are like, but do you use the product? Well, I'm just like, if you're truly passionate about it, you can feel that. But like some people, I'm just like, oh, you just came, like you just thought of a product and then found like a random manufacturer. And now it's like, yeah, there was this one dancer, who dances for the Moulin Rouge from I'm s**t with on TikTok. And she has this company that's like, it's essentially like some kind of like cool down or like warm up garment. It's kind of like big overalls that you would like wear. And so I'm like, that is like specific. There's something about that that feels, oh, no, when they come from women, I love it. You know what? As a need, I think that I have heard is not being filled as underwear for trans people. Oh, yeah. Like specific to trans people's needs. And so I would say if there's someone that is really passionate about that, that wants to actually solve a problem that we have currently. Yeah, in the market. In the market. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. That's the, hey, please. Hey, the need is there. The market's there. Oh, my God. It can happen. Another f**king bullshit company where it's like a guy with the white t-shirt needed a little refresh. No, it f**king dead. Hey, you found your sparkle. I did. You found your sparkle again. Really? Yeah. I just saw it. That's so crazy. Yeah, I just got chills. I just walked in. But you know what I mean? The white t-shirt never really sat well with me. I'm like, oh, yeah. Who didn't? Ride. Do you see me as a clown or do you see me as a sexual being? So that was in the no top. I put that in there. You put that in there. Well, how powerful? I guess it's just like sometimes you have to ask if someone is speaking to you and you're thinking like, well, do you see me as a clown or do you see me as a sexual being? It's so powerful. And I might just start asking people. I would just ask them. Yeah. I know and it can be really confusing as a comedian. I get that. It's hard. Am I making you laugh? Or am I making you laugh? I'm making you haunt. Yeah. I love it. I love it. And yes, we're back in the library, the British library, the great British library. I feel bad because I feel like my phone is putting like a barrier between me and listeners. Like when I have it out, like it feels like I'm texting, but they keep saying, but I'm not. I'm really not. I'm actually just keeping us on track, keeping us honest. I'm cold. So you must be. I'm freezing. We're losing you. Yeah. No, my thoughts. I wasn't Christmas. I'm not. Yeah. I wanted to call out a moment earlier today, which was when we were at the acne store in London and running up that hill was playing and I just thought, could life get any better than this? No. Maybe a little. Then I asked the guy who works at acne. And he went, sexual. He said, sexual. Well, immediately when we got there, he was like, so this used to be an art gallery. It's three floors. Like, can I show you the store? Yeah. And now I can think was, do you want the house tour? I could take you to the first, second, third floor. He so wanted to show us some. He wanted to give us. Unbelievable. And there was a big pink couch in there. Well, you said to me, you go, do you want the house tour us at the acne store? And I was like, my girl has been. And then I said, my house is on pretty girl Avenue. I love that whole song. Can I just say? Yeah, it's very. I would have loved to do a deliverance Richard's video to that. I'm just too tired. I'm not there. So can. I'm just too tired. I can't stress enough. When you're in the deliverance Richard's costume, do you see me as a clown or do you see me as a sexual being? I will say that really permeated my use. The question. The question. Because I would just be like, well, you want to be around me all the time. Right. But then I'm like, oh, no, you just want my like, charisma. You don't even care. Crisely, uniqueness, nerve, and talent. You don't want to get in this bed. No, well, but I, I feel like they probably did. Are you gonna stay the night, doesn't mean we're bound for life? Are you gonna stay the night? So that's in my definitely list of top songs ever made, best songs ever made. Oh, good. It's a top. Yeah. I've been trying to find like the ultimate five and it's nearly impossible, but no matter what, you're going to find Marin Morris. Oh, and Dionne by the Japanese house. Baby, why don't you just meet me in the middle? Ride. I guess we could talk about this dress that is not my usual silhouette. It's a little baggy. I wanted to do that. So I just want to dress that it is. It's not my usual silhouette. I know what you're thinking. Daddy, daddy, daddy got it for you. You did. You took me acne and you said anything you want. I don't know. I was just feeling good. I need someone to spoil. Oh, I was in a K-hole last week. Oh, good. Yeah, yeah. Let's go from that. Hopefully that happened. It was scary. You know, I was in a K-hole once and I was around a bunch of friends and I did this bit where I was doing brand deals for each of them. It really killed. I did it. I was, I was not in a K-hole, but I was on K out of wedding, obviously. Yeah. And I was doing this whole done spin. They're fidgeting. Yeah, I was fidgeting. Oh, done. Yeah, and it was also my stomachs growling. I'm so hungry. Me too. It killed. It totally destroyed. I mean, I was just a con for these people. Big moment last night when I asked internal monologue, do you see me as a clown? Do you see me as a sexual being? And unfortunately, it was the former. Now that we're both single, I pose this question to you. Would you rather date someone who smokes or someone who is a runner? Smokes, 100%. I just think running is so obnoxious. You know what? I hate the smell of someone returning from a run. Oh, my God, me too. Can I say that? Yeah. Yeah. I just think that's a, that's a stench that I don't want to be, I don't want to be in rapture now. No. But, SIGs, I'm kind of like, fuck yeah. Well, also, I think you could convince someone to stop smoking. I don't think you could convince a runner to stop running. It's in their blood. It's in their blood. It's fully cigarettes are an addiction. But here's the thing. Yeah, I don't, yeah, I don't care. I think it's just like, letter up, you know? I guess a lot of my choices in TV and song kind of make sense now. A lot of the shit you've been posting, you know, a beautiful mind. Should we just have sex? Probably. But we have to do it here. We're all on the camera. Yeah. I will say, no, I won't say. Please say. I can't. I won't. How have I been through enough? I'm not saying anything. No, I don't want to. I don't want to. But like, welcome to hell. I do. Oh, you know what? Lana Delray has this line. It's Kansuki. Obviously. Don't bring her up to me. I am. Ride. I think it's time to talk about, I'm filming you. Oh, please get it. I mean, because I actually haven't heard this whole story yet. And I'm excited. Oh, my God. Okay. So let me set the scene. Terry and I are trying to eat at this lovely restaurant here. And I'm not gatekeeping anything in L.A. support L.A., like truly bring your productions here. Everything I want in all L.A. needs it. Let's rebuild this place. Sap. It's fabulous. Ty Quazine. It's just absolutely delicious. Like, oh, my God, I would go every day. If I could. we're just like taking laps around the neighborhood, we cannot find a spot. And then finally, we find one, but this woman is just like standing in it. And so we were like, oh, sorry, we're gonna park here and she was like, I'm saving for my friend. - It's in, it was Nina drama. - I'm not kidding, she had Nina drama's exact voice, which also to me, I'm like, okay, gag too. Like I love her. - It's like we're allies here, don't be mean to me. - And I was like, yeah, that's not like really a thing. Like, and I said it in a nice way. I was like, oh, sorry, like we are gonna park here. It's an available space. And like there's nowhere else to park. And like the standing in the street saving a spot thing, not to be a Larry David curvy or enthusiast, but I am kind of like that's not really a thing. Yeah, and then then then then I just kind of don't think that's a thing unless it's like, I don't know, in high school, I feel like that's when I felt like it was around the corner. Like they should be here by now, that sort of thing. - Totally. And I'm kind of like, well, I don't see her. And you're just waiting in this spot. I'm like, what? All I said was like, okay, like I think we're still gonna park here, like the Zoom's insane. She immediately goes, I'm filming you. - I was like, okay, well, hi to everyone who is watching me be filmed. - I love you all my fans. - And I said, oh, jokes on you, sis. I love a camera. So I was like, hey guys, she's standing in an open parking spot in LA on the street. She doesn't own, and we want to park here and a couple of gay guys just are trying to go to fucking dinner and get chicken packed. - We just wanna get some dinner. - Can you please just let us park here? And then she stopped 'cause I think she thought instead I would like be insane. I'm like, just to be clear, that's for if someone's being like, heinously racist or like committing a crime. - Or like, or you see a cop doing stop and frisk or something. - Yeah, in fact, you're the one breaking the law. Just like, you are standing in an open parking space on the street. - To me, I'm like, go ahead and post it and see what the internet decides. - Yeah, I'm like, you know, like hearted Dixie. If the friend was right behind us, I would have been like, okay, totally. Nowhere to be seen during this entire interaction. So, I guess I'll leave it up to the baron. He's like, what should we have done? But Terry was there, and he's really bold in me, and he's like, stopping a people pleaser and like, live your life. But I was really polite. - So what happened? - Oh, and after two seconds, then she like, completely quit. And that's also my thing. If she would have been like, I'm gonna keep filming you and I'm saving this for my friend, I would have been like, okay, that's true grit. - Well, that's fine. It's true grit. - It was spiked, I would have been like, absolutely. And I actually have a podcast I think you'd love. - Yeah. - But she was a quitter. Immediately, like, stopped filming after I was like, hey, everyone watching. This is an open space and we won the party. - Penny's on the seven here. Queers folks, Penny drama. I guess the thing is like, when it really comes down to it, it's like, I have a car and you don't. So like, this is where cars go, it's not where people go. - Well, that's when also we're not 10. And I think that's cool to it. It's like sometimes when people are like, oh, I get the front seat. It's like, well, you don't really need the front seat. - I think being perceived is really hard right now, and we're being perceived more than ever. And so I just like to limit lately what my vibe is, it's just like limiting interactions with people in general. Like, I need to focus on pinky. I need to focus on work. Like, I need to be in my apartment. - And it's making me withdraw a little bit, but I think that's just what I need right now. I just don't want to be perceived by people at IRL. - Totally. And I think I know when safety is a part of it too, you know what I mean? I try to be thoughtful about the people I am talking to. And I really try to make eye contact with no one throughout the day. Go one whole day without making eye contact. I know you can do it. It's so fun. - I can definitely do it. - Because so many people just want to chirp. And I'm like, it's just, I'm not the person to do it too. I've got my airpods in. I'm listening to the like part right in Juneau, when Sabrina goes, I'm so fucking cool. - Yeah. - I'm always listening to that. Leave me alone. - Ride. - I have something to say. - Yeah. - What I like about my personal style is I don't think you can put me in a box. - Totally. - And I've been thinking a lot about bisexual girls and how they dress. And I wanted to share this thesis for a while, but I don't really tweet anymore. So I didn't want to tweet it. So I just want to say that my theory is, and you guys can let me know what you think. Bisexual girls with boyfriends in LA, dress like Jim Carey from the mask. - Okay. - And then bisexual girls with boyfriends in New York, dress like Jim Carey from Ace Ventura. - Yeah, it's all referential. - It's all referential. And I don't even know that they're doing it consciously, but it's like everyone in LA by girls with boyfriends in LA, dress like they're gonna like sing in a jazz band. - And then, shh, shh, anyone got any dice. (laughing) - Wait, we have to talk about that joke. We all have to talk about, "Welcome to my island, Tee." (laughing) - Those girls who are dressed like the mask, I've been doing a duop version of "Welcome to my Island" Remix. - You have to do it right now. - My Caroline Politechek in Charlie XX. Oh my God. How do I even start? - The other night, unprompted, Terry was cooking. - Yeah. - So, I'm gonna sing a jazz standard version of "Welcome to my Island" that you're wedding, to me. - To you, and then I go, "I'd like to leave my life, looks you." "Yes, eating caviar, toast buying out the rids." I've been told I can be tricky in relationships, 'cause that is someone who can take an out of the challenges. I won't lie, yeah, but we've been afraid to commit. But now, I'm born so hot, totally clueless. (laughing) And if you can, then welcome to my island, Tric, and a dove flies out of my hat. (laughing) - I hear "Wedding" full jazz band behind me. Do-op. - I was on set the other day. - And I was in the hair and makeup chair, and I just burst out laughing. - That makes me so happy. - It was hot, but when you start laughing hysterically, it's something, and it's actually so involved to explain it to the people I hear around, 'cause I'm like, "First of all, you know that song, "Welcome to my Island" by Caroline Politechek, and you're like, "Oh yeah, you know, they don't really know." And then I'm like, "Well, the rest of this really "isn't going to make sense." But I sort of explain it to the best of my ability. - I mean, it's high brow, my love, what do you want? - It's extremely high brow. It's on the Matrix, that New York Mag Matrix, high-brown brilliant. - Yeah, so it's like, it's so dumb, it's smart, and that's kind of like what I want. - That's right. - That's right, and that's welcome to ride, welcome to the ride podcast. - I love it. - But yeah, I will be doing that at your wedding. I can't wait. - Me too. - And I know that the top will be a suit, but the bottom will be, like, Blair Waldorf, lingerie. - Ishaan Provacator. - Ishaan Provacator. - Yeah, very, like, boostier, not boostier. What are they called? - Like, garters. - Like, garters, and is that what that's called? What happens when there's like, it's like a stocking, but then there's like a strap? - Yeah, I think it's called a garter, but I'm not sure. I wish I knew more about like, old world stuff like that, but. - I want you to have like an era where you have that under everything. - Yeah. - Because Blair always had like, full. - Well, you never know what to be. - She had armor. - 'Cause I'm full of surprises. Expect the unexpected. - You know what, someone told me this recently, and when people talk about you, I start to like, you know, my voice gets shaky, you know what I mean? And yeah, you're just an onion. Every time I think you're gonna say something, you say, today I'm writing for a traditional family values. Am I jaw? I have to pick it up from the floor. - But that's the thing about us is that we committed when we started this friendship, we were always gonna surprise each other. - Well, I think we still are. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Like, you just thought Terry was gonna make you dinner, you didn't know you were gonna get a jazz concert. That and also Terry's dinner was like mind-blowing. - It was so good. - It was so good. - Oh, the song "Boys Chase Girls" by Ingrid Michelson is traditional family values. - Also one, two, three, four, by feist. - Oh, feist. - One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, one. - Oh, my accent. - Any babe, eyes on the road. - Ah! - There you go! - Rye, rye!
