Benito and Mary Beth engage in a vibrant, emotionally rich conversation blending personal anecdotes, humor, and feminist reflection. They contrast their differing interests—such as disliking escape rooms while enjoying creative party games—highlighting a deep-rooted preference for freedom and spontaneity over structured, confined experiences. Central to the discussion is the celebration of womanhood through music, particularly the emotionally resonant album *Grown Woman in a Baby Tee*, which they see as a powerful, authentic expression of female identity and resilience. The dialogue expands into personal topics like jewelry as a form of self-expression, and the hosts share intimate stories about their collections, relationships, and even a memorable mix-up involving a necklace. A strong undercurrent runs through the episode about bodily autonomy, with Mary Beth passionately advocating for IUDs as a safe, empowering, and science-backed choice that gives women control over their bodies and lives. The conversation also reflects on the ongoing challenges women face—safety, trauma, and societal pressure—emphasizing the need for joy, safety, and emotional freedom. The hosts underscore the importance of creative expression, self-care, and community, framing these acts as both personal and political. The episode ends with light-hearted product promotions for wellness brands, all woven into the broader theme of women’s empowerment, self-acceptance, and the celebration of everyday life.
The following podcast is a "Dear Media Production" "Hey, can you come pick me up?" "Yeah, what's wrong?" "Nothing?" "Sure." "Yeah, no, I just need a ride." "I'm gonna have fun. I'm gonna have fun. I'm gonna have fun. I'm gonna have fun. I'm gonna have fun." I'm Benito Skinner. I'm Mary Beth Brown. And this? Is? Right. Right. Don't know. What? It's not bad, right? It's so cute. Let me see. Well, it's so cute. You think that's my baby love? My baby. All right. Does it hear babies? I look so fucking ugly in these. You never look as bad as you think you do. I just want to say that. But we can address the fact that we're not wearing makeup. Yeah. I guess we have to, right? We have a little piece of dry skin on that one. Yeah. Oh, it's flaking off. Yeah. Yay. Oh my god. How is it now? That's so cool. It's kind of all fine, right? Yeah. I mean, I'm not trying to deny your reality. We're keeping this. You tricked me. You're fucking tricked me. I know. God, you know it's crazy. Have we talked about how much escape rooms just aren't our shit? Like we are not about it. Do you have to funny this thing? I quoted you to someone yesterday talking about escape rooms, but I'm not sure if you said this. But you were like, women are actively trying to not be in an escape room, so I don't need to go in. No, I would never need to pay for that experience. I don't know if I've said that. I'm sure I'm not the first. I think you said I'm spending kind of all my days trying to not get trapped in a room with with anyone really. I just want to have the freedom to leave anytime. I just know that immediately I'd have to fart. Sorry. And then immediately I would be completely worthless. Can I just say something? But morale. High as hell. If you like escape rooms. By the way, this is a ride to podcasts with Mary Beth Brown and Fondentess Skinner. We're so happy to have you guys here. Take it away. If you like escape rooms, we are just diametrically not like. We're fundamentally in opposition with each other. We could never be close. There's just a level we'll never reach because that's just so something I would never do. But you would do laser tag. And I have done laser tag and I love laser tag. And I'm sorry. And I'm sorry if there are baronies out there who love escape rooms, I completely like I love that you love just like the ice breakers thing last week. I love that you love it. Thank you, sweet. But there's just a level we're never going to get to. The amount of letters I've gotten since I did the ice breakers ice cubes ride. It's like everyone's like it's your past. You killed that. Like it was so like engaging and exciting. We couldn't wait to see what you said next. It was so like I was at the edge of my seat. Like that's why you have a podcast, dude. I don't. Yeah. Yeah, there's no judgment. There are some things like that where I'm just like, I just know we'd never be married personally. If you wanted to do this all the time. And in that in that sense, I should have known if you know what I mean. So there's a really fun new party that I came up with. There's a really fun new party game that I came up with. So you take turns. So let's say there's 10 people at the party. So if we were at a party with eight other people, I'm just doing some quick math here. Shit, okay, sorry. I never did calculus two. Wasn't it called Calc two or whatever? Probably pre-calc, Calc one, Calc two. There's Calc two, right? There's other shit. Oh, and then there's like arithmetic. Yeah, whatever. No, no, no, what's the release as it's like, or go? I don't know. That's when the shit got crazy. I don't even know that word. Me, you ain't. I love, I watched Goodwill hunting recently and I was just, I forgot how iconic it is. The whole thing is just like, he's so fucking smart. But we don't really like no. It's just kind of like, yeah, he's just so fucking smart, which I think is an incredible plot. So just be like, no, no, no, no, he's this guy. He's a fucking genius. He's smart. So it's this new game where we would sit in a circle and everyone would describe, let's say you went first, everyone described Benny as if you were trying to set him up on a date with someone. So you're trying to sell him to that person. And you're going to describe Benny like in three sentences. And then when you have like two minutes or three minutes, whatever to do it, and then you all go around and you read what you wrote about the person. And it's all like, it's all love. And you can be a little funny and maybe get some jobs in there. But mostly it's just all love. And it's just like, this is the best person I know. He is so funny, he's so sexy. Is this you doing it? Oh, yeah. Oh, wait, okay, do it. And then I'll do yours. But I'm really excited. This is so nice. This is the best person I know. He is my best friend. Oh my God. He went to Georgetown. Of course. Okay. No, he's really fucking smart. Yeah, the kids smart. You know it. Fucking smart. No, of course three times you're with him four times. You're like, shit. You're like, shit. People literally clamor for his attention because he is such a good friend and a good person. And I just think he deserves to be the happiest man in the world. That's so sweet. Okay. Mary Beth Brune, she is this stunning iconic, dry, sharp, deeply brilliant, most brilliant person I know that exists. And I can't believe she exists because I'm so lucky to exist at the same time as her. And she's so pretty. She has Tim Burton eyes. And lately, she's been giving late in me stir. And I love her clothes and her sense of fashion. It's playful, but it's still like sharp and like 90s in New York, but at the same time can be very playful, very early 2000s. And if you break her heart, well, good luck getting through me, mother fucker. And then we just end up going on a date and then we kiss. Yeah. We have sex in front of the other eight people. I mean, I could talk about you. No, I mean, my God. It's just, it's like, I mean, my goodness. It's hard to wiggle it down. But isn't that fun? It's awesome. Thank you, Joey. You saw what I was writing for today. Oh, yeah. I got the chills. Also, wouldn't it be fun to just do that like, okay, God, if I could just write the scene right now. Fuck, write it. Fuck it. This could be the writer's room. I mean, we are starting it soon. You're at a party and your crush is there and you play the game and your crush gets to hear all the things that your best friends say about you. Oh my God. Oh my God. What could be cooler than that? Can you think of one thing that would be cooler than that? No. No. There's nothing. There's nothing. So. I can think of a one thing that would be cooler than that. You show up to the thing in the person's like, Carrie Bradshaw's here. Oh my God. She looks, she looks incredible. She never comes to this shit fucking incredible. The game was inspired because I posted on my Instagram story about my friend Alec, who I posed with doing platonic grilling for his hinge profile. I loved that. It's a cool idea. The same night I met the double vet, by the way. My idea. I'm always innovating. One, two, three. Oh, cooler. It's hard to believe all the things I did and that was after I ran my hour at Union Hall. You did this all on the top. This was all one night. Yeah. The top I picked out for you. Yeah. I love that top. From me out. So then I got my friend texting me on the side going, oh, I have some friends. I think we could set Alec up with. And she described them to me in a little short paragraph and I was just like, send them this. Like show them how you talk about them. This is so beautiful. And then I thought to myself, well, straight man, I ever really know me. Well, he ever clocked my tea. And I don't think he will. The Julia Roberts and George Clooney meme, well, I don't know what he says because I forget that in the meme, but it's from Ocean's 11 or 12 or 13 even. We don't know. Have I not yelled about oceans 12? Yeah. That's coming right after this. And they've reworded Julia Roberts to say he doesn't clock my tea. I have. My thing is. I was straight. I would have bagged it. Like, I know I would have, it would have been a homerun. Straight guys don't even know what questions to ask. And maybe they never will, but I have a lot to say on this. I might write a whole book about it. I don't know. Please. We'd love to read it. But I think for me, what I find is I'm just like, I feel so lucky that I get to be in a queer relationship because it's like, wow, we share so many of the same interests. Sometimes I'm just like, damn, you guys really have to see some crazy things in theaters. It's just crazy to me. Oh my God. And you have to, you know, well, sometimes I like this splitting, the splitting meals thing I think is cute. The bills. No, no, no. Like the way you order two things on the menu so that you can try it, but just tough. I think that's kind of cute. You can do that with friends, though. That's a really good point. You can have sex with friends. Fuck it. I mean, I've never done it. And I haven't. And I don't plan to. By the way, there's people you have sex with and then there's your friends. Actually, I've done it once and it did not go well. I didn't go well. I knew you were gonna get. I was talking to you a little bit. I knew you were talking to me, but it's that's a whole other thing. And I might write a book about that too. I'm just like, sorry. It's like, it's inspiring to me. Like I'm sorry that that happened. And in another life, I would be your girl. I had this moment happen two days ago. I was alone in my house and I went in the bathroom. I'm alone in my house. I just rewatched a star's born. I watched the whole thing for some reason. And I didn't pause it. I didn't stop it after SNL and I should have. Oh, I stopped it right before the Grammys because I can't watch my king. Yeah. Piss his pants. Piss his literal pants. Not in front of Halsey, which is so funny. He brought this up because that's what I did. I went into my bathroom and I literally went, I gotta check her father out. What she didn't sing in the mall. She sang something else. Someone told me and I forgot. And then I just started laughing with myself. And you can do that and you can really, really do that. Well, it's always so funny because in those moments, do you ever have those moments where you're kind of like laugh or you make yourself laugh about something or mine is I just say it out loud and just thinking if someone saw that, like I sometimes I'm like, that'd be so funny if like, maybe I saw it. Just watch that. Oh, I have a really sad one. When I sensed in my bones that I was going to get dumped, I woke up with pinky and I just want it. It's going to be you and me again, kid. You said it out loud. I said it out loud.
I just knew one of my bones. It's hard not to be in a movie. Do you ever have this feeling? Sometimes when I'm walking with someone in New York and we're both looking forward and talking, I'm like, oh, we're being filmed. This is a movie. Sorry. It's pretend. It's pretend. You should know that. Yeah, sometimes when that happens, yeah, I'm like, fuck, last night was a fucking movie. I'm dying to have someone say that in season two. And they will. I think I might make any say it. I think you should. That was a fucking movie and everyone's like, fuck. Everyone's like, how in what way? Well, everyone being grace. I walked around Williamsburg listening to Coldplay and it did feel like a movie. And then my agent texted me and was like, what was up with your walk last night? And I was like, what do you mean? He's like, you just made it look so like whimsical and mystical and magical. And I was like, that's just New York. Yeah, that's New York. No, but that's you as well. It's like that's character and setting meeting at this place in the middle. Meeting the wine now. I wish I could know everything Gaga said before. The Mayhem tour, which I went to and it's just fabulous. But she starts and there's two versions of her talking to each other. The lady in red, of course. I'm not even going to get into the lady in red. But I wish I knew everything she said because I would be reciting that a lot too. Myself and people, you know, one outside and pinky. So Julia Roberts in Oceans 12. - The one where she plays a person that looks like whatever. - Don't even fucking. - Well, because I just wanted to know, I don't remember which one that that's in. - Don't even fucking say it. Here's my thing. This movie exists. Oceans 11 is fabulous. Oceans 12 is fabulous in sorts. Oceans 13. Fabulous. - They're all just good work. - It's good work and it's God. I mean, it's just it's hunkville. It's hunk de jour. And so in the second film, there's a scene where the whole time they're like she kind of looks like and they're talking about Julia Roberts. Well, the character that the character looks like Julia Roberts, who's played by Julia Roberts. It actually, like it just, it disrupts the time to continue. - It disrupts the time continuum in a way that like, they did kind of like invent the multiverse, certainly. Also something that bothers me is when a movie is referenced in something, this is so weird that I'm remembering this. But the movie be kind rewind. Did you ever see that? Oh, it's incredible movie. But Sigourney Weaver is in it. But in the movie, they referenced a movie that changed. - Alien or something. - Yeah, I think it was alien. And my brain when I saw her on screen, I was like, oh, are they gonna be so excited 'cause they just met her? It's just so weird. - But I think that what I've chosen to do with that, 'cause you have to make a choice. Everyone has to make a choice at some point when you have to decide what is the reality? It's just that there is a famous person named Sigourney Weaver in that universe. And so they were in that movie. And then the character Sigourney Weaver's playing is just. - It's a person. You kind of just have to blur your eyes. - Yeah, separate the art and artist, I guess a lot of ways. When I'm talking about separating the art from the artist, that's what I'm talking about. - I'm not separating allegations. - Julie Roberts in Notions 12. That makes sense to me. - Exactly. - But this, I don't know why it's just like, it breaks every wall. I mean, the walls are just blown out. And they're about to be on this podcast studio. - But that's what you earn when you make great movies like that. They say, well, Steven Sadaberg and George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Catherine Zeta Jones, they can do whatever they want. - And they can and they did. And I'm just, I'm finding it hard to sit with it. Also, they had this thing where like she should have had like more, like her accent wasn't right. And I'm like, it's just, you're playing games with me. I'm hearing her voice. She has the laugh. Like, if you had planned this for a while and she spoke not like Julie Roberts this whole time or did something physically different from her, it's just, it was tough. I don't know. What I like is that we're just here talking about it. And that's what great film does. And I love that whole, I don't know what to call it. It's a trilogy, but then there's, you know, there's prequel coming and then there's Ocean Zate, which I love. I watch Ocean Zate on planes all the time. There's no part in Ocean Zate where something goes wrong. - Yeah. - There's like two seconds where it's like, maybe they get caught. It's what I love about it. - Yeah. - Yeah. - I thought everyone did a really good job. - Oh, I think everyone did a really good job. - I really did.

It's see-through, it's a clip. - But it's also a peak to me. - Yeah, it's transparent. - It's transparent and it's a peak. - It's like multitude. - I had heard clips early, I will be honest. I just wanna be totally honest with everyone. But what I hadn't heard like everything in totality, and I just think, it's my favorite album of the year. I'm completely shook by it, and I can't recommend everyone, if you haven't gone to it, it's one of those things where, yeah, maybe you're not gonna get it the first time - I completely agree. - And that's, isn't that a good thing? - But maybe I finally know who I wanna be, a grown woman in a baby tea. - A grown woman. - A lot of people that reached out about that, and thank you, it's just an honor to be thought of in that way. - Of course, I mean, it's hard to, and for me, it's wide hips. - Right. - 96, skiing Scott, looking forward to get that, a grown woman pink Galaxy. When she said pink Galaxy, left undressed, she was talking about my peri-girl dermatitis. - Yeah, and she'll tell you that, that's on Genius.com. - I know, I know. There's not one skip for me, David, electric, clear blue. Obviously, I sang it for you, you loved it. I just think, if I had to pick one, if you were gonna, you know, wonder shapeshifter. Shapeshifter, I think I'm kind of like, oh, so it me. You know what I mean? - Mine's clear blue or grown, Norman. - Clear blue is your favorite. That's, oh, that says, like-- - This doesn't make sense, though. - Those two things are exactly you, yeah. 'Cause I'm shapeshifter, and who are you guys? - David. - Well, David's electric, but like, I can't even watch Vanded, it's to it, and sometimes it makes me cry, so I can't do it. - But shapeshifter and. - Cernifers. - Oh, yeah, Cernifers is so good. - First time I heard Cernifers. - Oh, also favorite daughter. - Don't talk about favorite daughter right now. That's next season. But where it goes, boom, boom, boom, boom. And there's this little, boom, like, change in, oh, my God. Jimmy Stack, Big Papa, full goose bumps, new and I felt it hit. It was only a field trip to the cool of my blood. That's how it tends to start. You're in the light that-- - And then you're in the dark. - Then someone throws a flare, you're tasting my underwear. - I knew we were fucked. Here's the thing. - Stream it. - Can I say what about? - Can I just say something to you? Jockstrap, spit, dirt, grass. Like, it's just, it's that to me. It's like, it's a feeling. - Also, her Rolling Stone interview was really good and very insightful into the process.
And what she's saying with the album so I really enjoyed that I read the whole thing. She's brilliant brilliant brilliant It's just it is who it is and it's so her and genius and we're so lucky to live at the same time I completely agree what a true artist and we're thankful that you're sharing your talents with us because sometimes people just they They walk away from public life and they don't need to produce anymore when they've made Things that have shaped the culture and the generation already from one two is sixteen and I I had just moved to New York when Royals came out and I remember just streaming that whole entire album like the love club over and over and over Tana's court. Oh my god. Cus cut season swing and party cover. I mean, it's just like it's hit after hit Don't talk about those cut seasons. I'm just thankful I'm thankful that she continues to make music and we appreciate it. We'll always be here streaming the girl so confusing remix I believe pitchfork called it a watershed moment and If I'm correct, but I Yeah, it's just it's at the tone she's there's an honesty. I mean, oh god Is it shattered glass girl singer broken glass broken glass shattered glass broken glass broken glass that song to I just every I just think the album is so raw and it's raw fucking and it's just incredible and Yeah, that's really it, but There's something about the album and obviously it was on both of our minds because if you look at the cover and you look at the back cover Two things are really clear clear blue clear blue say it. I UD Which is what I will be writing for this week. I UD's and I'll be writing for jewellery jewellery jewellery, so we're gonna we're gonna talk about jewellery, which is just to kick things off DJ Khaled doesn't interview.

I know that you thought that's very me And I'm not gonna judge someone for that sometimes it's it and you knew exactly the fuck he was talking about And so don't you know, I just think that's what's important Wait, where are we going?

So I I will say sometimes I'll wear my watch, which I love my watch. She's like a total doll And I'll wear like a signate ring every now and then I have one that has a scorpion on it But I kind of don't venture beyond that and sometimes I'll wear a gold chain But not all the time.

I Yeah, I don't really wear lady shit as I'm listening to jewels and drugs by lady Gaga Such such a classic, but here's my thing You can think maybe you're not but just try it like the water's warm and don't judge yourself and play around sometimes I've you know what I put a couple strings on. I'm like this one. I took it too far. This isn't me. I have done that too Someone's put a choker on me before and I just it wasn't It wasn't giving what it needed to give. I mean the bangle culture in high school. I was wearing 20 bracelets and they made a lot of noise you know my build a bear lives strong. Yeah, it was live strong among them I said to cut my hand off. I had some j crew bangles in there. I had my Tiffany bracelet a bobble from j crew A statement necklace even a lot. Oh that yes that happened getting to choose the statement necklaces Like the one Maddie Phillips wears in the pilot of overcompensating. I still think about that necklace because it makes me laugh It's just the bobbles of 2015 and 2016 like it's just explosive. It was like Jeneline's a j-cruel about j-cruel jewelry stop go okay So I got this necklace when I was in my brother's wedding He got married in the green building in Brooklyn, which just I got married in and girls and there've been many many weddings in that building Yeah fabulous hollow ground hollow ground So we got these necklaces and I wore it one night when I went out and I ended up going home with someone But he didn't live in the city so we were at his brother's apartment So I took the necklace off spent the night left in the morning. I forgot the necklace in the morning Heels naked. I just think last night was a fucking I slept with my shoes on. Wait, leave your jewelry at a guys place. That's so cool So then we ran into the brother and his fiance Mm-hmm, and I was like oh my god I left my necklace at your house and she goes We fought about that necklace so much because he couldn't explain where it came from no And she was like you had a girl here and he's like I swear I didn't I don't know where it came from I had to hug you, and I'm like oh my god We fucked that night was a movie that night was a movie But like what a classic mix up and a misunderstanding where it was just like he just didn't think that the brother had like brought someone back And then she's like the necklace is here.

A football jersey. I've been What is this my sous-launcher? You're all I do Do not you were never supposed to say Ivermecton. I need to see you're never supposed to say Ivermecton That is explosive. But you didn't ever use it. You had it sent to my house. You just clocked my tea I don't even know what it is. Oh, yeah. No, it's like a it's a dewormer You never used it.

strap with a seven on it. It's it's your Calvin Klein pride underwear. Oh, have we talked about this? Yeah, but you could talk about it again. Oh, I just it's funny during pride. You just, you know, I sometimes get sent and thank you. I just appreciate the PR. But I get sent like some of the most unbelievable underwear or like things called the underwear. Yeah, one, you saw the one that was like it was see through in the front. And then it had the thing in that it was but jeweled like love is love is love is love is across the waistband. And I'm just like, so let me get this straight. So the vibe is see through classic dick back is like two strings that dazzled. And then there was like almost the start of a thong. I wish I could, I mean, I don't have them anymore. I told you, but it was the start of like a thong and it was lace. I was just like, this is a wild material is mixed media. Oh, yeah, I was like, this looks like upcycled. It went to many factories, it went to many factories cycle. So I got a shipment from Calvin Klein when I did a pride campaign for them a couple years ago. And I thought it was all underwear. So I put on this underwear and I go, wow, they made fully crotchless underwear. No. It was a sports bra. I put my legs in the holes of a sports bra. And there was a huge and I go, my whole ass. Yeah, I just say, you thought right. Because some gay underwear just kind of is that? Well, yeah, but I was like, it's interesting to make female crosses totally crotchless. This threat is a bang. I went like that. Take your life. Make it hard. But I, oh my god, no, you're in the right. I'm just picturing fully. And I'm in the mirror going, wow, this is edgy. You're going spread lips sending to Calvin going. Thanks for the underwear. That's great. So here's what I would say. If you have the Calvin with the classic sort of strap at the bottom and it's a sports bra, try it on as underwear and see what if it's inspiring you. I mean, I'm trying to think. So you, the arm straps went through your thighs. And then it's, yeah, it would have just been full. Full pussy and butt. Full box out. Yeah, oh god. I feel like we can talk about this forever.

Some people get them and it doesn't work for them. They have weird side effects. There's the copper IUD, which means you get much more intense periods. There's a low-dose hormonal. I'm guessing there's a higher-dose hormonal. I have a low-dose hormonal, which is very hard to say. I know I'm very, very sorry. You need to jumble it. I have two of my butt. What that does? What that does? So I have one. I do love my IUD. We fight like sisters. And actually this time, I mean it. Dear media. IUDs are so cool because it's science that's more theoretical than anything. And I do have a joke about it in my famed cluster facet with the blue eye shadow. But we don't know how they work. So much like, and I've said it before, 6.023 times 10 to the 23rd, it's more theoretical. Whatever it's doing in there. Whatever it's doing in the sperm, it's mostly working because they're so effective. Yeah. And I would say just now more than ever as our rights are being stripped away from us. And this actually brings me to something that I wrote in the doc. Or I wrote in my notebook that I wanted to bring to the podcast. As our rights are being taken away more and more and we don't have bodily autonomy, I would say get the IUD now if you want to. If that's something that is on your list of doing the thing and go, you can book an appointment through Zock Docs. Zock Docs. So Zock Docs. Zock Doctors. I would say just do it. And you know, sometimes it goes up in flames and you need to get it taken out. And that's okay. Okay, yeah. But it does work. I think they've extended it. It's more than it's like five years now. And don't quote me on that. You don't have enough air for five years. For five years. But ask your doctor because I'm not totally sure. Yeah, it's like a sister. I mean, we know each other well. And so she knows all my mistakes. Yeah, all sperm. Yeah. So I think women are put on this earth to love and to experience joy. And all we get to do is suffer. Yeah. And we force you to make music. I love to, I mean, it's what a beautiful circle today is. Lord's IUD is visible on the cover version. I mean, that also perfect album cover, it's shocking. And you see all her jewels. And it's very much about the female experience. Yeah. But I just think the suffering, it makes me so sad. I mean, people are suffering all over the world. And women, we just are beaten and battered physically, metaphorically, emotionally, spiritually. And it's just like we have to do so much work on ourselves to continue to be compassionate. Well, we are compassionate by nature, but I just feel like it's, it's actually impressive that we just as like a group have not just completely hardened our shell to the world because it's like we're just constantly torn down. And it just makes me so sad. And there was an incident that happened to me recently that I don't want to get into the details of, but I felt very unsafe and I felt physically threatened. And it was traumatizing. And it just made me really sad to think about like how much love women put into the world. And then we're only met, we're not only met with, you know, negativity and people trying to strip us of our rights and stuff, but it's definitely like a lot. It's just insane that we're not more horrible. I know. Like we just want to give love. It's so hard. And that's what I love about this podcast because women deserve to experience joy. And it's just like men are allowed to be weird and men are allowed to be like, you know, quirky and whatever. And just like. Send us names all day. And just skate through life. God, I'm, it's so frustrating. I just want women to have fun and like.
Maybe getting an IUD is part of that. - Put on a baby tea, a grown woman in a baby tea. - In a baby tea. - Yeah, I will say it never looks fun, but I love women, so God, so much. - I know, and we're happy to have you in our corner. - Hey, thank you so much, I'll always be there, but oh my God, are we getting, is this right or die? - Sure. - You know what you are, Mary Beth? - Bisexual? - Well, yeah, but you're also my right or die. - Right or die? - So of course I ride for IUDs. - Well, I got one if I could. - I know you would. I like the science aspect of it. Basically, it wraps up everything that interests me. - It's very, we don't know how planes fly. - Exactly, it's one tiny little thing that lives inside you. - Or stay up in there, whatever it is, yeah. - And so it's science, it's women's issues, it's giving us more freedom, and I would say it's making us safer and not have to do things that we don't want to do, like have kids if we don't want that, for example. - Yeah, of course I ride for this, for anyone who wants an IUD. Fuck yeah, hell yeah. - Fuck it, we ball. - Fuck it, we ball, we ride East, Vahala, like that's kind of how I feel when I'm like with my girls. Yeah, I, God, as far as what you said, I'm just gonna amplify and just say that I so many things, and what I say to you a lot via text is. - I wouldn't say being a woman looks fun per se, but of course it's joy there. I'm just like, my God, the way we treat women is. - There's just so much beauty and kindness and softness, and then it's just decimate with like you know, someone pointing a gun at us or something. So it just makes me sad and I think what I really love lately is just being surrounded by my friends and feeling like I'm getting even more invested in their lives because I have the time now and I'm not in a relationship and I don't know, I just want all women to be happy and it's just sad 'cause there's just so much. - I want to feel the same. - I'll speak on this more in the future, I'm not totally done with what I have to say on it, but just feeling safe right now is like, just my number one priority. And I go safe with you and you have nothing to prove. - I'm grabbing one of your fingers, nothing to prove and I stick my finger in my mouth and bite it, and tell me, God, it's that God, I love being a woman, you know that sound on TikTok and it's like, it can be really beautiful, but it's also just like, dear God, I mean, you have so many funny jokes in your stand-up right now about that I just, I think about all the time and I wish we could raise women up more. It makes me so, yeah, I just scared. I think as we enter the writers room for season two, it's always like, I find that those spaces are really beautiful and sad to, you know, talk with, obviously you and Wally, we're both in the overcompensations season one room and they're doing too, but yeah, just, sometimes they're talking about college too. I find that, you know, I just feel so sick, but then there is also something of like, you just show what you're saying about just like, really wanting to be loved and feel safe and the space is so much love and like allow people to like make other people feel safe and then yet we are never made to feel safe. - No. - And I'm being hyperbolic, obviously. We have safe spaces, but escape rooms are not one of them. - Of course not. - And so to speak on jewelry just briefly before we go, I mean, I'm a jewelry girl and a straight man did designate me as that. So that means it really had to jump off the page. - Oh, like you're just, there were just like, the world's divided into two. - The world's divided into two. - It's a jewelry girl. - Jewelry girl. - And I love jewelry, it's expression, the details and it's beautiful. I like the beauty in it. - And it's just so much beauty. - Yeah. - You can get really creative with it too. I love when someone has one earring on and the other's not, maybe it's not even there. - Fuck it. - Fuck it, we ball. You do whatever you want. - I've been thinking about getting my nipple repiraged recently, so we'll talk about that offline. - Amazing. - I don't know if I want to do it though. - I think you should. I think that's amazing. - I have zero piercing zero tattoos. - I just have ears. - The world's gonna, you can paint me however you want. - And we will, we're gonna paint it. - I don't know why we're supposed to illustrate it. - Oh, please. - I don't know, I don't think you need it. - I don't think I need it, but I, yeah. I don't know if I, hmm, no, just a necklace. - Er. - Oh, wait, spend it on it. I'm like trying to think of what Larry just came into my head. Maybe it might have been Tupac. Tupac's your core. - Tupac, we're thinking of you. - I am always, he's fabulous. I knew all the words to wonder why they call you bitch when I was younger, so sorry. That doesn't really go into what you were saying earlier. - Being a muse is part of the beauty of life for women. ♪ A place in the city ♪ ♪ A chair in the ♪ - Do you then do the Broadway standard? ♪ A place in the city ♪ ♪ Let me say ♪ ♪ A champion the bad ♪ ♪ A cover of all the mirrors ♪ - Okay, see myself. - Wait, let me, sometimes forces are easier. - No, that's really good. - Of like, what was that? - Let me actually, I think, a better one would be. - So, watching him, I'm a chase. ♪ Keeping it light ♪ ♪ Not oh, thinking it ♪ - Thank you guys, we love you. ♪ Jumping from stone to stone ♪ ♪ You know we're the bad I guess ♪ ♪ Maybe you're finally know you wanna be ♪ ♪ A grown woman in a baby T ♪ ♪ A grown woman ♪ - Fade into this.
