IT'S A HITCHHIKE PART 2

The following podcast is a dear media production. I'm the Nito Skinner. I'm Mary Beth Brown. And this is and we're recording. Yeah. How's that Mary Beth? It's good. I feel like we can and good conscience do a third of the same intro that we were doing. So we just have to let the audience know that we've had tech difficulties and it is what it is. Can we keep all this? Oh yeah, no, we're keeping this. This is how we're starting. Are we recording? We're recording, right? Yeah. Well, I sing, I might let you make me pseudo. So I would say first take was for me or actually you. Second take for me. Yeah. Third would have been for the director, but I'm actually tired and I'm ready to go to my trailer. Yeah, it's time for it's time for a break. So we will be recording a full episode of the podcast. So just to let everyone know, this is Hitchhike Part 2 because we really wanted to hear from more Barones. And then next week is the season two finale followed by, of course, a special treat. Oh, we've got such a little a little treat from the desert, a little dessert in the desert. And then season three, May 28th. Are we going to announce it? I feel like I'm telling everyone. Wait, you're doing a Terry thing. I have to call it out. I love you so much, but you're twiddling that thing. It's all I'll focus on lately. It's the smallest things. And my brain is just like, that's all I'm going to see. Well, I just want to say after last week's recording where I ate a few peanuts into the microphone, then he was fully eating a tuna sandwich into the mic. Well, we set up. I just want to put that on. I didn't think you heard, hey, could I just say, I didn't think you heard a thing. I heard everything, babe. I heard every, every bite. Every color green crunch might let my good fucking sense. How are you? I don't feel funny today. I'm just going to be honest with the listeners. I don't feel funny. Yeah. I went to Universal yesterday for my sister's birthday. I have much to report. And I think you can just affirm everything I say. You don't have to be funny. But even if you're just sitting there as funnier, then most people in America, thank you, babe. And on that note, I did want to say, I don't know if you've seen the trailer for the new Alex Garland movie, the man that gave us an i-lation. A warfare. Warfare. America being funny into warfare. Now that's ranged. And you say you weren't going to be funny, kid. Yeah, I didn't make any laugh. No, the thesis that take away from that is it's not looking good. It's not that. Definitely. I texted my agents when that movie got announced. And I was like, could I audition for this? And they go, it's boys only. Yeah. So there were no women in the Middle East during the war. Nothing's jumping off the page yet for you on this. Unfortunately, all my auditions lately are, was originally written for a woman, but they're open to seeing other people. Sure. And I'm like, I'm going to rock this assistant roll out. Oh, yeah, you're going to turn the shit out, babe. But what do you mean? You're not going to fuck him. Like, that's me. I just like the idea of making a movie and saying it's boys only. Hey, that's warfare. Did he lie? Sorry, but did he lie? I think there's a ratio of our women in uniform. Do you want me to talk about universal? Speaking of warfare. You may. So I went to universal. I have a few notes. An immediate takeaway is screens. I don't need to see it. I need animatronics. I need bad robots that are kind of like a little, they're, you know, kind of dusty whining. Totally. I think we've, we've leaned too much into 3D and the screens. And the whole day I thought to myself, am I cross-eyed? Like, do I need LASIC? You know, I'm dying to do that. Because I want, you know, the cataracts. Oh, and LASIC famously fixes being cross-eyed. Oh, so you're going to be a bitch from Toronto. Wait, so are they doing more experiential rides as opposed to coasters? Yeah, I'll say something now. And I think like, I think everyone will agree with me. It might be for kids, but I don't know if it is. The Super Mario Brothers world is unbelievable. Like, when you step in it, the Mario Kart ride sucks donkey dick. Why? It is so ass. I turn around to, Terry was behind me in my sister. Because we had him ride single all day. So each time all the photos of him would be with like a new plus one on the Jurassic World ride, which I got fucking soaked. I have HPV now. Like, I have, I have everything now from that water. Terry was next to a 12 year old kid with red hair. Who the whole time goes, don't put your hands up during the photo. You're going to block me. And I was like, oh my god. I said, you know who you're talking to right now? Like, it was so fire. I go, you think Terry's going to fuck up the photo? Like, that's crazy. We're on this Mario Kart ride or whatever. And it's all screens. They put like these little screens in front of you that do it. And I get that it's an expensive nice ride. But it's one of those ones where it's like, you get a high score. And I'm like, no, I want to feel air. I thought I was going to be on Rainbow Road. You know, I thought it was going to be like Space Mountain. Right. It just was not it. And I turn around at one point. And Terry just looks at me sitting next to a full stranger. A 40 year old man. He just shakes his head. Horsegirl. Thumbs down. Thumbs down. But then we went on the mummy ride. And oh my god, it's that fun. There's some good ones. See that barely any screens. There's like two screens. I don't want screens on a ride. Like, that's not what I'm there for. I want to have a full body experience. Mario Kart, I'm like, this is just a video game now. I could have stayed at home. Right. But I'm at Universal Studios Hollywood. But the funniest thing that we did. And I don't know if this sounds annoying. But if it does, I'm sure you'll let me know. I'm sure someone will let me know. But we went on the studio tour. And I thought it was a ride. I didn't realize like, we were going to work. Like, I'm sitting next to my sister. And they're like, so that's a studio. That's like a set. That's a soundstage. And I was like, yeah. And then they're like, those are the trailers. And I was like, um-hmm. And then they're like, those are the offices. And then one of the sound stages is where Charlie had practiced her Grammy. Like all her rehearsals for the Grammys were. So Terry's like, that's where I parked. Yeah. Wait, so they just let people walk on the studio when there's active productions happening? We were at work. It was like, I spent a Sunday on a soundstage. And there are a couple ride elements. Like, there's like a jaws thing. And then there's like a King Kong. Again, 3D. It just sucks. It's like, well, that's not King Kong. Because I wish it was animatronic. All to say, I had a few notes. I had a really nice time. I cropped us to Turfog, where I was going to ask. I was going to ask. That was my first question. Well, post-9/11 media is officially over because King Ducca at Six Flags has shut down. I saw that on taxi cab TV. It was this huge roller coaster that they built in maybe the early 2000s. That was sort of legendary in the Northeast. King Ducca was such a big ride. And it closing down was sort of symbolic in a way. And now what you're saying about rides becoming more like screen-focused. It's like, where are the meeting places for people anymore? No, I don't know. It's like, I will say. I saw a new Fast and Furious ride coming, though. That looks like a really unsafe roller coaster. So at least, I think we're getting more into like, let's get back out there. Let's feel the wind. I want to feel the sweat. Do you want to address the break that we're taking? Because it isn't, I mean, it's not so much a break as like the season is ending. But of course, we're going to be out promoting overcompensating, which as I told you last night, I'm calling. We're out on the campaign trail. So we're going to swing states. We're going to be going to Iowa, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada. All the swing states just to make sure they're tuning in. Well, of course. And we do have a little thing that we're planning. I don't know if should we say it yet? Let's just say if you were thinking about planning, little watch parties in LA for overcompensating, you should do it to planning. Jackson, are you going to watch Day of? Yes, I'm absolutely going to watch Day of them so excited. I'm excited to get into Hitchhikes. And I don't think I have anything else to say up top. Like, I don't know. I had a dream last night. It's because of the firming. I had a dream last night that we just started an episode without an intro. We just went straight into it. And it was so weird. It was kind of a nightmare on a way where I was like, this is going to be too jarring for people. Like, what are we doing? We have to stop. Cut. I don't think it would ever be too jarring for them. I think I don't know. Shaisama Gwaggin felt like the craziest thing, but I think Grandpa Terry. Can I just say the way you guys have embraced him? He feels seen. He's part of the universe. He's a character. What I keep laughing at is when you say, you say hi to him when you enter the house. Hi, Grandpa Terry. What's weird to come into your room and not say hi to everyone? He kisses you on the neck. Yeah, we have a special relationship. I'm so excited to hear more Hitchhikes. That was so much fun. I just want to reiterate, I wasn't like, that wasn't me scolding the person who said be to dead horse because I didn't know that either. But I think we're all learning together in a really powerful, beautiful way I'd say. I agree and it's a conversation and it's ongoing. It's a living breathing thing. Language is a living breathing thing and we're learning new stuff all the time. New shapes. New shapes. Should we play some of these? Welcome to part two of the Hitchhike. And this is an extension of Ride Heritage Month. Pretty much the rest. I mean, March through April, all the episodes are Ride Heritage Month. It's kind of just, it's in perpetuity. It's in perpetuity, yeah. Like with the show coming up, how could that not feel heritage? And that's May. So that that's May 15th. That's May 15th. I just want to keep putting that in everyone's brain. May 15th. May 15th head. May 15th in 227 territories across the globe. I cannot wait to see you dubbed in German. Me too. Oh my god. it. Shies that hold on. I wanted to say something that this is something that's my opinion, it's not necessarily correct. But if I ask for gum and you say you have mints, just say you don't have gum. I don't want to mint. That's not the same. Okay. Do you get that? I understand that the person is trying to be helpful and offer me something, but I don't want to mint. And then to say no to your offering, which is you trying to be nice actually just then makes me feel bad. So if I ask for gum and you don't have gum, just say I don't have gum. Oh, and on that, which is it's kind of the exact same note. I just drove by a Titanic billboard that said experience the journey of the Titanic and I thought to myself, what part of the journey? I don't want to know what I mean. I'm like, what are you talking about? What was that an advertisement for? I guess some kind, I'm, hey, I can only assume a 3D immersive experience. With screens. But I was like, huh? Okay. I don't think I need to experience the journey of that. I definitely don't. Hey, I'm good. I recently saw this thing. It was a take talk where it talked about how in the movie, obviously, it was like lit, but it was blackout when it happened. Obviously, there was no moon light on that night. So that means that when the ship split, the lights went out. I'm sorry. I that is sending a chill down my spine right now. No, the car's rolling right now. Did you go to the journey of the Titanic? Where did you hear this? No, I saw this on take talk. I don't know. The Titanic is following me. I swear. It's Grandpa Terry again. He's trying to spook me. I really, that really makes me feel upset. Relive the journey. I'm like, I'm good. Should we do a donner party experience too and relive that? The fuck are you guys talking about? Relive the journey is where they just put you in a cold bath and they turn the lights out and then they kill you. Wait. Oh my god. You're one of those like ice clubs. Do you know what I'm talking about? Yes. Of course. Of course. Of course. I want to go there and time square with you. Hey you guys. It's Mary Beth here back in the submersible pinkies here and three of my best friends from high school. Apparently having a dinner party, but you know what? We got to do ads, literally required by law. The problem with these huge tech companies is they don't just want your money. They want to know everything about you. Shadowy data brokers make a living, compiling detailed profiles of your online activity and selling them to marketers and other corporate interests that want to control you with targeted ads. They're not selling a product, they're selling you, but you don't have to let them. There is a way to keep your browsing history truly private and I use it every day. It's an app called ExpressVPN. Why does everyone need ExpressVPN? One of the easiest ways for data brokers to track you is through your device's unique IP address, which also reveals information about your location. With ExpressVPN, your IP address is hidden. It's like totally spy kids. That makes it more difficult for data brokers to monitor track and monetize your private online activity. I love that they think Baronees are like hacking the mainframe. You guys are going to use this to watch Love Island. Literally, you can watch Love Island when you're in America, but the British version, which is what I do. ExpressVPN also encrypts 100% of your network traffic to keep your data safe from hackers when you're on public Wi-Fi. ExpressVPN works on all your devices, phone, laptop, tablet, you name it.

This is a real-world testimonial. PSA for anyone who rents. If you haven't heard of builds, you're about to thank me. Earning points on rent is now a reality when you pay your rent through build. You don't even have to check with your landlord to start earning points so you can use towards flights, hotels, days, fitness classes, and even your next rent payment. Build change the game by letting renters earn high value points on rent and around their neighborhood. Let me break it down for you. There's no cost to join built and as a member, you'll earn valuable points on rent and on your everyday spending. Build points can be transferred to your favorite hotels and airlines, even the ones you haven't heard of. That's right, it can be transferred to hotels you haven't even heard of. There are over 500 airlines and 700,000 hotels and properties around the world where you can redeem your built points. Pinkies biting me because she's like, "How have you not signed up for built yet?" Points can also be redeemed towards a future rent payment and unique experiences that only built members can access. So if you're not earning points on rent, my question is why not? Start earning points on your rent. You're already paying by going to joinbuilt.com/ride. That's j-o-i-n-b-i-l-t.com/ride. Make sure to use RURL so they know we sent you. Joinbuilt.com/ride to start earning points on your rent payment. Today, she's speechless. She can't believe all the things you can do with built points. Can I say one thing really quickly? Miley Cyrus is obsessed with archival clothing. She's obsessed with talking about it. Can anyone explain this to me? And Miley, I love you. And I love all the pieces. I just fear she's too being stated on it. It's like everything is like archival Elias. And I'm like, wait, okay, yeah, you look great. Where are you seeing this on TikTok on red carpet interviews? It's the Titanic and it's Miley Cyrus archival. Okay, that's it. Can someone put together a super cut of Miley Cyrus saying archival? By the way, I saw a super cut of Gal Gadot's worst line reads ever. Now that is some good media right there. I didn't realize you were so opinionated. Okay, I saw snow white. I saw snow white. Very delete. Go whistle. Wow. You go work for two days. I sing to Ainola. Go whistle while you work. And then it go. That's very disgusting. But that's the scuttle butt part too. It's so scuttle butt. I think Rachel Ziegler really has an unbelievable voice. I think those movies are just a nightmare to adapt because I think we want to see exactly what was there, but redone, but they think we want a new movie. And I think some people do want a new movie, but I just want shot for shot or just like don't remake something maybe with like that is fucked. Like if you're going to do a movie like that, if you can't adapt it in a way that's going to appease the diehards, then just either make a totally new movie. Didn't they make mirror mirror? Wasn't that the same? Like that's the story of snow white. I don't know if that was Disney, but that had such beautiful costumes in Army Hammer. Of course. They say we're not saying we fuck with him. I really don't think I fuck with anyone. No, I actually don't fuck with anyone either. And I don't agree with anyone's political views except Bernie Sanders. And that's all I will say. I didn't know that you're sick. opinionated. Is that from the snow white? Galat is giving Nina drama in a way that I can't quite put my finger on at times. Maybe we got in the little bits of triple. Maybe we are just a little mad. But I've got something for you, girl. It's cool to be bad. I'm not kidding. That kind of slide. That that was like exactly it. So what I'll say about Gal Gadot is that she was going to quit acting to be a lawyer before she got Wonder Woman. And I think she should have done it. I have no problems or qualms with saying that. I think go do your law degree and leave us alone. I think that with all of these projects, I think the hardest thing you can possibly do is try to make something that will make everyone happy. And I feel like that is what some of these feel like. They're just trying so hard to make it work for kids, but then also adults, but then adapted. So it's like more about consent and like a woman's autonomy. It's just there's so many things that are at play. And they just end up with such a disjointed thing because you know that every single decision is made with like fear almost. I think instead of maybe remaking all these movies that some of them are not really fit to be remade. Let's just have some new stories. I would love for the kids to have some new narratives to get on board with some new princesses and princes and gay characters and trans characters and all these things that you know reflect more of the modern world as opposed to trying to take a story that was made in the 30s and make it relevant or make it like unproblematic. I just think it's just it's you can't win. You can't win. It's a losing game. Yeah, so let's get into the headshake. Let's get into headshake and I didn't realize you're so opinionated. Us to the baronies. Yeah. She like cracks a lobster when she does it. It's so funny. Never mind. All right, let's hear him. Wait, where are we going? Who cares? Ride. Hi, my name is Leah. I am so in love with you both. But today, I am riding for hyping up your best friend's outfits. So this is obviously an extension of the Girls and Girls episode. But I think there is nothing like getting ready with your best friend's one in itself is very special thing. But two, within that when your friend comes out and maybe she's wearing a new top or she's showing her skin usual or she's just trying something adventurous and her deck liqueur and is looking at you for height and you have the floor to I've heard the fuck up over what she's wearing. It's just such a fun and lighthearted, but also honestly, deeply confident, boosting moment that is like so core to girlhood, and I ride for it so hard, and I believe you both must as well. So yeah, love you guys. Okay, I have to say, Lea, you sound exactly like Maelan Ackerman. Oh my god. Like in such a crazy way, and I just rewatched The Watchmen a couple weeks ago, and so if no one's ever told you that before, like you could have a career in voice acting, I just want to say that. Oh, can I say something to you? Sure. Who watches The Watchmen? I think about that all the time. It sticks with you. I love this. I love this because complimenting your friends, you can take the energy from the room or you can bring the sunlight. Let's bring the sunlight, kids. Here's my thing. Everyone needs it too. Like someone you think doesn't need it. They need it. And if you love something, say it. Oh my god. It's such a scary time. We need this. We need community. We need the love of a bestie to be like, you look so cute today, or like if they're telling you, oh, I kind of like look like shit. It's like, no, you don't. You're my bestie. Don't talk about my bestie like that. And you've slapper. You got this. You do this all the time for me, especially when I'm wearing something maybe a little bit outside of my comfort zone, which I feel like you really push me to be more fashion forward. And I love that because I want to take risks with fashion. But sometimes you're just like, oh, I don't know if it's worth it. It's going to photograph weird. What's the story I'm telling here? And I feel like just having that moment where you get ready with your friend. And this used to be more in the pre-game space, like back in, you know, the college days, which you'll see reflected back at you in the course over compensating. But now it's like when I'm staying with you, or if you're having a sleepover, or if you're visiting somebody in another city where your bestie might have moved, and you only have the clothes you brought. And so you really want to walk out looking and feeling your best. And so I feel like this is such an important part of the evening as it unfolds. I completely agree. It's hype. It's being a hyper for your, your girls and your gaze. And and dare I save in your straight boyfriend's need to compliment every now and then. So they don't shoot us like we have to give that. Exactly. Exactly. Or it's not going to look good for us. We have to pet the egos just a little bit. I think this is beautiful. And it's spreading positivity. And you can either make someone feel like shit or you can make them feel like a million frickin bucks. I'm why not to the latter. Where are we on as a society? Like I've walked by some people recently who I've wanted to compliment on their outfit. But I haven't done it because I'm like, are they going to think I'm weird or annoying? I don't know. No, you're not a dad. So I think it's coming from the right place. Well, I try to make sure like within two seconds, they know I'm gay because this face could give graduate of USC parents paid for me to be on the crew team. So I have to make sure that there is nothing threatening about me the second I walk into a store. So I make sure that I do that first. I lay the groundwork in a way. And then I, I let her rip, you know, and I love complimenting someone's makeup because that takes so fucking long. And I'm just like your makeup looks fucking bomb. And I said this the other day at Cinemark, North Hollywood, when I went to Snow White, Guisalua, you work. And she was like, it took so long. And I was like, I bet it looks amazing. It's like intricate. You're really good about that. You're really good about it. And I had a great night. And I can only hope that she felt good for two seconds. I mean, and I hope it was longer than that. But if it was even just two seconds of a little confidence boost, everyone needs it. Hey, Jackson, I love you. Say it back. I love you. You look fantastic today. So do you. So doesn't that feel good? You guys like, come on, Mary Beth, you look freaking cute in your cozy sweatshirt and your beautiful hair. Am I on glue? Are you not looking right at me? I'm sorry. Am I on glue? We have to bring it back. I've been saying it a lot lately. I'm like, am I on glue or like I had never heard it before? Legally blunt. No. Well, Leah, you have a sexy voice, very Maulin. And if that is Maulin, come on, sweetie, classic Maulin. If you're a Baroni, let us know. Okay. Let's hear the next one. Hi, my loves. Hi, my name is Sophia. And I ride for customized license plates for a couple of reasons. I personally don't have one. Just because I don't have the time, energy or cleverness to create one that would work for me. But I just, I feel like every time I see someone with a custom license plate, I'm just bleeped obsessed because it's always like either, you know, housewife looking mom or like a young girl. And even sometimes I see a dude and I'm like, you know what? Hell yeah. And they just are so funny. And it's almost like trying to decipher a puzzle. Like, what does this mean? Some of them are obvious and just in your face. Like, I saw one yesterday that said, sweet pea. So cute. SWT PEA loved. Oh, that's a hard one to get. And then some I just see and I'm like, I don't, what is this code you're trying to say to me? I don't understand it. So it's kind of like a game. I'm sure I see it. I wish I said love game. Love custom plates. I ride it for custom license plates. Love you, baby. This is such a good one. This is just incredible. I mean, here's my thing. I just was behind a car and I almost got a wreck trying to take a photo. The plate said, dear home, which I thought was so incredible. I was like, like fall into 25. I have like, that's incredible. And it was state sanctioned. Like, it was a real plate. H-M-M-E-D-R-H-M-M-E. But I really want love game in my Audi. If it was L-U-V-G-A-M-3, love game. And you know, that's me. You know, that's Benny drama swerving through lanes going to speed limit. He's going to speed limit my favorite thing about you. I saw it yesterday that said the number two with the letter B and then it said blunt to be blunt. And I just think it's okay. Here's your car. Here's my thing. And it was my own car. It was my car. It was my car. There are easier ways to say you're Mary Beth Jetta. I love this because it's like a little piece of flair. You did it with flair. You're making the car your own without putting, maybe you are putting a bumper sticker, but this feels, you went, you filled out forms. You went through the state. And you said, I'm going to put a little piece of my personality on this car. And I'm going to make it my own. And I just love that. And it's, it's in the same vein. It's in the Maslow's hierarchy of mom's flip flops and earrings would be like a mom's vanity plate. So I fully ride for these. I used to think they were a little indulgent, maybe a little silly, but like that's when I was a kid and I was just like, wait, that's crazy. That someone would go out of their way to do that. But now that I like own things and you want to customize them and you don't just want the same Jetta is everybody else. I think this is so fun. I think it's funny when straight guys have it too. Admin can be disturbing or it can be kind of fucking hilarious and kind of sweet. I don't know. It feels so vulnerable. Like thinking of them filling that out. Like they took the time to do that. Do I think that time could have been spent in a better way? Maybe. Maybe. Maybe not. Like I don't know. That's kind of cute. And it's very flair. It's very chair. I don't think I'd ever do it because I know Terry would just be like, God damn it. But maybe I would love game is kind of sitting with me in a huge way. I'm just going to amplify and say I would love to see nothing more than your car in front of me with a love game vanity plate people. And you always know it's me swerving. It's not it's not nine and three. But you know, it's it's love game. I love that they're called vanity plates in general. That feels very ride to me. It's like your it's your vein. Your vein about everything including your car. A baroni on board would just be massive. Also, I have a question about vanity plates. Can anyone? Does each state like if the two be blunt? Is that the only one in the whole country? Can I just say I guess we'll never know. I guess we'll never know. I thought of a new rule. I think clear. I don't mind if people cut me who have clear as long as they're women or gay guys non-binary people or members of the LGBTQ community. A straight man should never fucking cut me. A straight man should never cut a woman. Stop it. Where are you going? Stop it. Where are you going? Just why are you such a fucking rush? Yeah. Wait in line and think about what you did. Exactly. All right. Next. Come on. Hi guys. My name is Clementine and today I'll be writing for libraries. I write for libraries because I love reading and books can be expensive especially when I know I probably won't read them more than once. So instead of buying them to sit on my shelves at home, I can borrow them from the library. It's beautiful. Libraries are not just books like people think movies, music, magazines, newspapers, audiobooks, and more all for free. What's even cooler is if they don't have something, it will order it for you at no charge. Libraries offer places to work or study. Oh, she wrote computers and resources to those without. A couple of months ago, I would even went in there to renew my passport. How cool is that? Lastly, I'm going to do the speech people for a minute. A fun memory I have is going in and asking the librarian if she had any recommendations and she said, I think you might like this and handed me twilight. When I die, I'm leaving the rest of my money to libraries. Love you sweats. So that read like a speech in high school in speech class. So beautifully. So eloquent. Five paragraph essay. You're fabulous. We're not going to have libraries in three years. So I think this is great for us to bring some attention to them now. I just saw an article saying stoge is gutting libraries like while we're all paying attention to other stuff. So I fear that we're going to lose libraries. You know who loves the library is my sister. She goes against books out multiple times per week. Do you know who did something so striking to me was Troisavon. -What did he do? -Tarine and him were working on something, and we were in Paris. This is one of their stories, isn't it? He had spent the whole day in the library in Paris, just working on his laptop and looked at a few books. I was like, wow, that sounds like an absolute glorious day on earth. -That's hot to me. Oh no, I'm attracted to Troisavon randomly. -No one had that. -It happens to the best of us. -And happens to the best of us. Look, libraries, they're such an important piece of America, they're Americana to me. I'm in the middle of watching a movie called Party Girl, where Parker Posey plays like a-- -She works at a library. -And she works at a library. Do a decimal system. -God, I love that movie. It makes me want to get full-off all every time I watch it, and where Isimiyaki and Kondigrasson. -G-P-G and just everything about it. -I'm not good, T-A, of course. -We need to save our library's kids. I don't know how we're going to do it, but much like our rights and things that are nice in this world, we're going to have to fight to save them. -Do you know that I really want to bring back reading Rainbow? Have I told you this? -No. -I want us to be the host of it with Kaya Gerber. -Thank you for saying that. -Sorry, Jackson, aren't you in? -Library science. Kaya Gerber's book club. -Library science. Fabulous. -One thing I will say about that girl on set between every take. She is reading a book. She's reading a book in the green room. I'm like, she's just turning pages all day. I was so impressed. She's not just having the book club as like a fun project. -She lives her values, just like you were watching Mad Men all day and I was shopping on the essence sale at every second I could. So here's the thing. Live your truth. Live your values. Always stay true to you. And head to the library. I really want to go to one. It's been a while. I need to find the one that's in my area. I wonder which one. I'm not going to say where I can say I don't want you guys to come kill me, but I do think that I think we have to go to the more. I think it's community. In my head, the community at a library is really lovely. That seems really safe to me. My godmother's daughter works at the library in Boise. So that was the last library I went to. It was just like I walked in and it smelled so good. It was so friendly and people were learning. They were honestly while the rest of us were bopping around running errands, they were reading about worlds. -They were reading about worlds. -That's so cool. Quietly as well. -We work at the library. We have just the book for you and we slide over City of Indra. -Oh, yeah. It's the last copy. -I got just the one for you. I didn't realize you were so-- -I think you know it. And then I slide over City of Indra, the story of Lex and Lev. Hello and welcome to the ads.

Dylan Mulvaney pulls back the curtain of her it girl lifestyle with a witty and intimate reflection of her life pre and post transition. I just read it this past weekend. It is so fabulous. It is funny. It is beautiful. It made me cry. I think she's incredible. And I think this is a worth a read for you, for your friends, for your enemies, for everyone in your family. Everyone needs to read this book. Okay, deal with that. The laugh out loud, funny and powerfully honest account of Dylan Mulvaney's journey through girlhood and a love letter to everyone who stands up for queer joy. Hi, that's us. That sounds a lot like Barones. It's an instant New York Times bestseller and this spring's must read memoir. I really can't stress enough that this is such a fabulous book and we need to support queer people and queer artists. By your copy of this spring's must read memoir, paper doll available wherever books are sold. Get them in a cute bookstore. We ride for you, Dylan. Next. So I ride for so many things that it was hard to choose. I was choosing between Freudian slips, Hillary Duff's album, Madam Orphysis and the defenestations. Don't know if I pass that right. A frog and I honestly think that it's got to be the third defenestration of frog for me. It's so topical. You know, it's like it's like 1618. The Bohemians showed up. I think like kicked a Habsburg straight up the window. They're like this corruption and it's sort of like the 30 years more. And I'm just like, where's that energy today? Why aren't we just kicking corruption out of windows? I just don't understand. It seems like an appropriate response at this point. So I definitely ride for the defenestration of frog in 1618, for sure. The Freudian slips and Hillary Duff's Madam Orphysis are close seconds and thirds. Those three things are pillars of you. You have met. I've met my match. That was your id, by the way. The Barones. Sometimes they hold a mirror up to me. I can't even, where do I even begin with this? Every time though, it sounds like you guys are in the closet hiding from somebody and I think that feels right. Agreed. Like you can't reveal like, hey, ride is just for us and we've always said that. You can't share it with anyone else who's in the house. But oh, this is fabulous. Throw corruption out the window. I mean, Hell yes. Freudian slip. I'm obsessed with though. It's very adipis. Freudian slips are so fun and they can always be celebrated. Like the Freudian slip doesn't have to be embarrassing. You can all have a good laugh, you know? No, because also it's like, you know, when people are like, when you're drunk, like, you know, you're more yourself for you, like, say, and people are like, that's not true. I'm like, no, I know you wanted to say that to me. It kind of is. It's better than out of your system. I didn't realize you were so brilliant. Sorry, I am. New airler. The differentiation of Prague is so fascinating. It's not something I really knew about. Of course, I love to hear the name Habsburg thrown around on the path, of course. Well, of course. And I'm wondering why we're not talking about the Charles Bridge. The Charles Bridge. Something that has to be involved. Fun activity for the Barones is a look up when Prussia was dissolved. You know, like, it's more recent than you think. A lot of shit happened not that long ago. That's what we're forgetting. And so I just, I need history. It repeats itself. And I feel like it hasn't even been that long. So like, we just need to be aware of these things. And yeah, I want to throw people out of window. I have a very long list on my phone of people I want to throw out a window. Dear media, can you just make sure to clip that first part about Prussia while we're at it? And then I have to say, with my linebacker arms these days, I just know I could take somebody to just give me a reason to throw somebody out of a window. Talk back to one of my girls. Hey, aim for the bushes. And I think that anything that goes down and prog is something I'm interested in because I was there for two days when I was abroad. And I love the John Lennon wall. And I walked around the whole day by myself because I was what we like to call clinically depressed. And that town, the gothicness of it actually like awakened something in me. I thought it was incredible. I loved it. I loved the bridge. I thought the bridge was so cool. And I was drinking a lot, which was kind of crazy for me. But I do remember prog like really taking care of me. So whoever fought to make sure that I could a gay man could strut around prog in a stance mess for a day. Like I can only thank you now on the podcast. It sounds like it was the bohemians. So bravo. Hey props to them. And their descendant is CNN Miller. Absolutely. I've seen a Miller hair today. You didn't even comment on it. Well, I can barely see it. My hair is a friend gully behind you. But there's the thing. I just think you're the most beautiful woman. Oh, stop. This is so funny because I mean, I assume you do this. Like you don't have to. But I think you do. Like every meal I'm at, I just talk about you. I show photos of you. I show outfits you worn that I like. I show you in Halloween. Like I'm like her face can transform into anyone. You have to see this. Well, I just assume that anyone who's talking to me is like fully aware of all your work and everything about you as well. So I just, I talk about you as an extension of me. Like anything you know about me, you obviously. You couldn't imagine how I botched your final joke of thought provoking the other day with the 9/11 thing. I was trying so hard and they were like, I was getting really close. I was like, and then it's the ice cream museum. Oh God. The Museum of Ice Cream. I had that and then I was like, you know what? Go stream it. That's it. Go watch it. And you can even just fast forward to the end. It's like five minutes at the end. Well, thanks for quoting me, babe. It means the world. I was doing the best I could. Oh my God. You know the one I love that you're doing on tour right now. The one about you being blonde and it's like, give me gay guy a TV show. It's not just because it's about me. It's just about release. No, this is what happens when you let gay guys make decisions for you. All right. Continue. Next one. Okay. Hey, I ride for my girlfriend's iPad because I think if a mall is an older sister and iPad is a vacation, my girlfriend loves her iPad and I realize this is months into dating. She was going to have it on or we'd be in bed and she just like, oh, just kind of pull it out. Oh, do you want to watch a show? She's drawing on it. She's going on Pinterest on it. It's a part of my own, but I benefit so much from her having one to the point where I don't really think I need one. Like we're on a train. We're on a plane. We're in a hotel and she pulls out her iPad. I'm like, let's go. It's been AirPod now watching her favorite show on a plane or, hey, let me look at some outfit ideas. She pulls out her iPad. It's so much more fun than like scrolling on a phone or pulling out a laptop. And I love like not having the responsibility of it being mine. Yeah. It's just it's fun. We're on a train station and I want to know if you ride for your partner or a partner's iPad or a piece of tech like that. Okay. Love you. Bye. Love you so much. This is so funny to me. Immediately my brain goes to they lose the iPad break up. It's the only thing keeping them together. It's the glue. Am I a glue? Sorry. I think this is so incredible. It reminds me of the movie her for some reason. Terry does have an iPad. I find myself a little jealous of her every now and then. Seeing your partner just so happy, fully horizontal, but they're neck, they're cranking their neck to look at their iPad, that's like I just know how relaxed he is and how much fun he's probably having. And when he puts out his little stylus pen, like that's that's child like wonder. And I think I completely agree. I love that you're doing things together on the iPad. I'll talk to Terry and see if we can start watching shows together on it and drawing. I love like to turn and see your partner drawing while you're in bed. We're putting outfits together. I love that. We literally just got my dad and iPad for his birthday. And I was looking at it with the keyboard and it has that little kickstand. And I just thought, how have these not just completely replaced the laptop for most people. Like it's so much sleeker. It's so much smaller. It's so much more convenient. Like obviously if you're like editing videos and stuff and you need like powerful software, I understand why you wouldn't want to have just an iPad. But for most people, the iPad is getting the job done. And I just think like it's such a futuristic thing that it would have been in like a movie set in 20 to 60 when we were kids, especially being able to draw on it. Like that's it's like it's, it's we're living in it. It's so spy kids. It's incredible. I love them. I so glad your dad has one. He's going to have the time of his fucking life on it because my parents have one. They love it. It is also such a little, the iPad's a little bitch. You can download all your shows on that, but not a laptop. I'm so can anyone say why? Well, because the iPad is apps based, whereas like a computer is like software or whatever. I mean, they're both software. It's all apps. It's because of apps. But you know what I mean? Like like when you download something on your laptop, it's an application. But when you go to your iPad, it's it from the app store. So there's something with that. To media. We have. If you don't flip. Yeah. If you flip that. Hello, my love. If you don't fucking clip that, I love the idea of it not being hers as well. It's the girlfriend's iPad. So it's like, you're not totally responsible for it. That's fabulous. Best case. Yeah. You don't have to charge it. You don't have to deal with the rig and morale of like getting that through security because you do have to take out the iPad. You have to take it out and you have to it's separate from the laptop. It's a whole thing. Even though we never will figure out if we take shoes on or off or the laptop stays in or out of the bag. But I know we'll get to it in about 10 years. There's something a question I posed to the Barones don't I don't actually want to know the answer. But what is a lithium battery? And on that note, what is a Rivian? Hi, Mary Beth and many my high school friends love ride and our great chat is called the Barones. My name is Claire and I ride for the scale scene and raise your voice when Hillary Duff has to sing a scale. And I truly think the two of you could recreate it, which is why we take talk in there as well. But seriously, love you guys so much. And we'd like to hide a wee on an episode. I have that video saved to my phone for a reason. I had no idea that a scene that happens before it is the, what did you get you shoes out of a garbage bin in Portland? Yeah. You win. These cost me $60. That's when you and I met that was at our wicked lady. It's word for word. It's verbatim. It's a real, recognized real. That scene to me is such a time capsule. That whole entire movie is so fascinating. We can't even get into the plot line because we don't have time. You know who the teacher is. KAY! You broke my heart, KAY! It's fucking eight in. You can do the scales and I would like to hear them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And when she all of a sudden eyes closed and then, and then she's done, her thumbs are right through those belt loops. She's eating down. She's showing off the VCs. And when that other girl in there is kind of like, she's fucking tore that. They kept doing that to Hillary where they would just have a completely different human's voice. And she didn't need it. She doesn't need it. She doesn't really need it. She didn't need it. I say justice for the album sparks, but the way they just tried to blend her voice with the totally different voice and think, I don't know if they thought people wouldn't know it is, or if it just, why? What was that? When they see you smile and you make it go. And it's like, that's not Hillary. Oh, we've talked about how Paulo is something unbelievable. Lizzy. So if you have a twin. Isabella. Isabella. You have a twin. I had to realize you were so beautiful. I had an audition the other day, and the final line was, I want to show you something. And me and I know it could not get through it. She was reading with me and then finally on the last day, because we had gotten it. I said, I want to show you something. And I almost sent that one on accident. But maybe the director would have been like, shit, that's an interesting line. That's a different, it's a different direction than I would have gone. Okay. Cool. Having someone read for Carmen and in the NSO scene, it used to end the NSO coordinator would say, well, but Gangnam style. Yeah. I'm not kidding you. I think we did 50 takes. That's the first line in the whole scene. And I left every single. Oh, darling. You know, that's a, I think that might be a $20,000 joke that unfortunately in the budget. You can't. I just have to say, the things I've learned, I think I could probably be at least, you know, what are they called when you're like, you working in a law office? Parallegal? I could be a paralegal. I really could because I know so much about like, I think they are so funny. I could. Jackson agrees. I just like, I know so much now about like, what things cost size, size getting his coin. And I love that. What book Gangnam style? Okay. Yeah, I mean, should we pick a ride from these? There's so many good ones to pick from. God, this is, it's near impossible. I think I have to go with hyping up your friends because I just think everyone needs it, especially in this scary, scary world. I really loved the one about Prague though. I mean, I loved all of these so much. It's crazy because it's like, you're all, you all sound exactly like I thought you would. Like galaxy brain, queend up. This feels like queening out with my divas. And it's all about friendship. Yeah. They all sound like sweet, darling, darling babies. And I just feel really lucky. But I would have to, if I had to pick one, I would say it's the one that I think I believe in the most. And I, I live the most at least I try to every day. Every day. I think everyone needs them. Every day. And I think everyone deserves them. Well, not everyone. But most. Most. Mine is, of course, going to be the differentiation of Prague. And I'm going to read about that. Not what I'm driving. I'm going to get in the car. I'm going to get home. And then I'm going to read about it. And to learn new things about history, I mean, there's just so much of it. And we've only really began to scratch the surface. I think some of the stuff, as I've said before, we could leave in the past and, and sell your Tesla stock. It sounds like I, I would probably like the, what's it called the defense, what's it? Defenestration. Defenestration. Defenestration. Defenestration. Defenestration. Jackson, is that right? Is it denestration? I think it's defense. I would love to relive the defenestration of Prague, whoever is making the titanic one. You got it. I got to do that. - A journey. - And it's fun. You get to throw people out windows, they're dummies and you throw them out. That sounds incredible. - Thank you guys so much. We'll be back next week with the season finale. - Yay! - Okay, here it is. I'll save it for the end. ♪ Am I let you make me pseudo ♪ - Third time's a charm. ♪ pseudo, pseudo ♪ - The season finale next week, we love you. - Oh, my accent. - Any babe, eyes on the road. - There you go!
