Ssense Sale + Panty Lines

The following podcast is a Dear Media production. I'm Benito Skinner. I'm Mary Beth Brown. And this is R.I.D.E. We had a lot on our minds this morning. Yeah. Have a good recording. Thank you. Thank you. Adore you. Include all this. We find ourselves in a new studio. Where we are, we'll never tell. Can they hear? Who? Probably. Sweetie, I love him. If you're listening, I love you. But here's the thing. I did say that there would be ferns. You said ferns. And succulents. You said hanging plants and greenery. And you said the walls would be paneled and you were not wrong. I could see this being Jackson Pollock soon. But the one thing they don't have is a purple light. I will. You did say purple light, which is not here. I will make the perfect podcast studio one day. And this is actually, this is perfect. I will say as someone who used to, to steal a lot of images from Shutterstock for the backgrounds of sketches. This would have been exactly what I would have used if it was for a fake podcast studio. You used to steal images? I don't know. This is kind of like, this might be industry speak. And I'm going to speak to camera as I say this. But there's like a big legal war with like Shutterstock and Getty Images and all of people like taking the images of themselves and posting them on the internet. It's like a whole thing. And like makeup artists get in trouble. I don't know. But people keep warning me. They're like, don't post that photo on this. And I'm like, oh, okay. So I keep buying them. You're buying them for like 400 bucks? No, no, no. I've only bought like one or two, but that feels like I keep buying them. I want to know who's setting the prices for those. They seem astronomical. I would buy a few, maybe if they were like $50, but I'm going to buy none if they're 500. Can I just say, if I make it big, if I make it to the big time, there's a lot of ugly ones of me. I would love to just wipe. You're going to pay a take. Oh my God. I'm not going to lead anyone to the watering hole there, but holy shites. I got some zumbory doodles on there. You're really dipping into the archives because the fairy image. This season is all about owning your history. I know. You have to post a photo of you that's really unfuckable pretty soon here. Me? You haven't. Oh, I don't. I have plenty. I don't want to post them. I think I can extend the time a little bit. Yeah. But I will. I just want to set the scene of where, where we're at today and then. Sorry, I'm not over these big old Dunkin' Ice we got. Yeah. This is so Serena Carpenter of us. Well, it felt like a return to like the sacred text. That's that me espresso. Remember how simple time was when espresso was out? When it was espresso last year. Whoa. So you looked at me today and you said, this person started following me from the real of us. And I said, what's the real of us? If they knew, if you guys knew who we were talking about. You guys, so I'm thinking the real of us starting truth creep coming to NBC this fall. It sounds like a, it sounds like a show title that was just a little bit off because AI wrote it. So it's a show called the real of us. And it's just about family. It's about friends. It's about when they stop being polite and they start getting real. The real of us. So that's where my brain's at. I just wanted to say that. And now I'm going to read some journalism that you have been sending me. And my sister, Vicky has been, she really likes to send me stuff when she thinks of me. Well, I just don't want too many, I don't want the library to get too flat. There's so much, there's so much backlog. I know. And I, I chose some really good ones. Sorry. Hulu's all virgins dating show is coming soon. Okay. So yeah, that just happened. So Lana Del Rey's next album coded the name of it. What is it? Say it again. Oh shit. Hulu's new all virgin dating show is coming soon. Yeah. Harry Styles helps a fan parallel park in Rome. Spoiler. It doesn't go great. Okay. And helps us in quotes. Me code. There was another one. I almost sent you where it was like, he came out with a sex toys for his brand pleasing. It's kind of goop speak, but they're like, yeah. So it looks like we got a vibrator before we got the record. Harry, you're on notice, but thanks. You know, some like things like that. That's millennial journalist. That's your character. Yeah. You won't believe how many. Yes. I wouldn't say that. You won't believe how many people these celebs, have had sex with. It's you. It's me. Body count through the roof. Oh, and this brings us to. Remember when we had to do body counts with the cast. Someone made us do body counts. No, I don't remember that. It wasn't me. I didn't make us do that. You. I don't remember that. I'm clapping because it's revisionist history. History. I always clap for revisionist history. Oh, you don't remember at Coachella, Miss Little Mushrooms. You were doing cartwheels. I didn't do mushrooms. Well, someone, someone did. And then someone, you literally sat down, crisscross applesauce, freshly dumped. I was probably, I was probably joking. God. And you go, should we say our body counts? And then of course, but you can't say straight guys. Like they love to be like, ha ha. You know, we were just at just for laughs. She called my balls, Jimmy and Timmy. That's journalism that you sent me. That's Jojo Siwa and her, and her guy. But yeah, then the whole cast said their body counts to you. I don't remember any. You never said yours. They couldn't have been scintillating because I don't remember any of them. Oh, you, you blocked that whole time out of your life. You blocked Coachella out. Yeah. I did just recently fuck a 26 year old and it was really fucking amazing. That's a quote from Charlize Theron. Charlize Theron on Call Her Daddy. Oh, okay. That makes sense. Oscar winner, I believe. Of course, for Monster. Andrew Garfield comes face to face with woman who wanted him to smash a laptop on her tits. And I have just, I'm amplifying and I'm not adding to it. It's very, you have Andrew Garfield, sort of smoldering eye contact. Oh, eye contact with red carpet interviewer. A butt plug shaped beer bottle has ignited the gay internet. I actually sent that one to you. Oh, really? Because I thought I, because I screenshotted that. Okay. Sometimes, sometimes if we haven't opened DMs from each other, well, you will see that we send each other the same exact piece of journalism. Yeah. And then I've been slightly pedestrian to you lately. I like it though. Yeah. It's fun. So pretty. Like I'll say shit like that. So pretty. Hot, hot, hot. Have fun tonight, baby. This one is important because we have to talk about her recent deals in a world of dirty celebrities. Sydney Sweeney capitalizes on being clean. Good girl. So imagine this. I'm going to an ATM to get cash out. I know you're seeing this vividly. I know why. And I'm not going to say it. Don't wait. Why? Do you know why? Housekeeper. Yeah. Yeah. And I went on a different podcast. I went on a podcast hosted by two straight men. And I said, I think we need to remove the taboo of having a housekeeper and of being a housekeeper because it's a fabulous line of work. And I think it's just weird that we are like everyone's so hush hush about it. It's like, I love my housekeeper. She's fabulous. No. And I, I, it's health privilege. It's health privilege. It's clean privilege. People of all socioeconomic statuses have housekeepers. I'm sorry, you guys, Benny drama. She runs dirty. I had to beg you to get one. Can we talk about it? I came to you, tail between my legs. And I said, we need to talk. It's the Bushwick in me. I said, it's the Bushwick boy in me where I'm like, I could, never. How could I do that? Like it's just a lot of dust bunnies and clothes. It's so, I will be the woman who lives in her shoe. Sorry, Jessica. We cannot talk about sex in the city right now. Once I tell the story of walking back from the ATM, we're going to talk about the fact that I did. Are you a Charlotte? And I want to also say that the scene in blue crush when the football players are so fucking disgusting in their hotel room and the I love that scene. The surfer girly. She takes the dirty condom outside to the beach. She has a tissue. She puts it in the tissue and then puts it in a little trash can. She brought with her to teach them a lesson. I think she gets fired after, but all that to say, of course you have to leave your house in a certain sense of order. Otherwise it's disrespectful to the housekeeper. And that's just how I feel. And you do that. And I do that, but I'm sure there's people out there who like they're not being thoughtful. Yeah. That reminds me just one more time. So, if the trash bins are full outside a house, you can put the dog shit. Yeah. If they are empty, you are a bad person because someone has to take that back into their house. What is wrong with you? Stop making your critters other people's problems. Totally. That's my big thing. And I call shit critters too. I'm talking about the dogs, Ken. I gave you pinkies overall today. I know. I can't wait to put them on her. I will. I miss her so much. I will melt more than me. Probably. I think you love pinky more than me. Well, you and I FaceTime pinky and I can't FaceTime when we're not together because she's a dog. Okay. She's at camp. If you ever admit you love her more than me, I will put her down. I believe that. No, no, she's my baby girl. There are all these images of me taking images of her that you have that you sent me. Yeah. It's just cool to see yourself as a photographer. She's a muse. Yeah. I'm very like, okay. We've now strayed so far from what we were talking about. - I don't even remember how to get, dream within a dream inception. I don't even know where we were. Are you ready? I'm ready. Because that's very unlike me to not remember. I got you, girl. Thanks, sweetie. It's so hot in here. So I'm walking back from an ATM and I turn to the right because it's Baskin Robbins and I always like to, I'm always curious the 31 flavors they've got in there. And I love, I love their mint chip. I love it. Their mint chip is so good. Don't look at me as I say that. I can't eat ice cream. So I don't know. I'm not up on the latest. Guess who the fuck is looking back at me as I turn with her signature scoop. Her signature scoop? This is her signature scoop. Miss Sydney Sweeney. I'm looking up her middle name just so we have it in the bank. Oh yeah. Can we please tell everyone her middle name? I would love to know her middle name. But she also just did a collab with American Eagle. She is the American woman. Totally. You know what I mean? Well, first of all, her middle name is Bernice, which I definitely didn't see coming. It is not Sydney Bernice Sweeney. You know what I think of when I hear Bernice? Dodgeball. God damn it, Bernice. I think of, there's another like blockbuster comedy that has a Bernice, but I can't think of it. That's just good for me to add just so everyone can hear that so that I couldn't think of it. Every day I'm reminded that's why we have a podcast and you don't. The faux pas of the year so far. And I, we are going to do a bestie of the year. We're going to do a fumble of the year, which I think we all know who's going to get that. And then faux pas of the year, the Coldplay couple. And we're not going to say anymore. Because I think, you know, my hot take on it, tragic. You and Vicky are so on the same page with that. You know, she's my favorite person. Have we talked about this? So Mary Beth has this, so there's this sister. She, Vicky, I know you're listening. The love I have for this woman, it swells within me. She was on set and I like, didn't want her to leave. And then literally like, oh, she was at the premiere and she looks so beautiful. Alexander French did her makeup. Yeah. She's beautiful before, beautiful after. Yeah, literally. Oh my God. My bits lately. They're high concept. Thank you. That's what I would say. Thank you. So Alexander French is our makeup artist and Benny has this whole bit with her that all of her Instagram captions should reference being French. So you know what? Sometimes when you're, you're on a press tour and you've just been, you've been sitting in a makeup chair for so long, for so many months, trying to get people to watch this crazy little gay show on Prime Video. I, in my head, thought about what if Alexander French was crashing out on her Instagram and everything she posted, she, it had to be some like French reference. So it'd be like painted like one of her French girls. Hashtag. I never said. I was Alexander French. I call this the French Riviera motherfuckers. And it's like a, you know, kind of a bronzy, glowy look. Parlez-vous Francais? Yeah, viva la France. And it's a red lip. Totally. Like it's just everything. But I don't know. I think that was kind of me telling her to build a brand. I don't think she's not taking it seriously. I agree. I think she's kind of opened her mind and heart to it. Cause it's like, you have to stand out. But it is something where she's like in the middle of doing your makeup and I'm like running into rooms, saying like the French revolution. And she's like, she's like, okay, I'm doing a wing liner right now. Can you stop? Yeah. Are you recording? Yeah. Okay. Recording. One, two, three. Oh, I just scared Pinky. Keep this in the ad. By paying rent through Bilt, the woman wondered who she was. Yes. The woman wondered what she had gotten herself into. Nobody wants to pay rent, but if you have to, Bilt makes it worth it.

I guess at this point, before we get into what we ride for, it's time to introduce everyone to when I'm Guan. No, we can't. Yes, we have to. We have to. Really? Okay. Can I give you my history with when I'm Guan? Yeah. Because it involves Edward. And so you started, okay, the cup song, but let's just go way, way back. Okay. So up in the air starring George Clooney and Anna Kendrick. Don't mix those up. Don't mix those up. Oh yeah. One's Derry, one's not. Don't. Don't. Anyway, Anna Kendrick is in the movie Pitch Perfect. She does When I'm Gone with the cups. The cups. I got to take it for a long way around. Two bottles of whiskey. It didn't Halsey sing it? I don't know. I don't know. Probably. But basically I think Edward was on tour with us. And then. He had been saying, the three of us shared a hotel room on the road. That's what a lot of people don't realize. Edward and I showered together, just to be clear. And that's my lady Jane. That is your lady Jane. And I think you said, I think you said at one point, like you guys are going to miss me when I'm gone. Well, yeah. And then that started when I'm Guan. Yeah. I think there's some kind of like trauma within me where anytime I'm with someone, I'm like, do you miss me? And we say, yes. Yeah. But you, you do have a thing about missing me. I do. You have a whole bit that you tell people. It's called withdrawal. Kid. It's Benny withdrawal. So you know what? And apparently it affects the masses. It does. It's it transcends. It's like, it doesn't matter who you are. happen to you. It can hit like a ton of bricks. You think, God, this little fucker. Yeah. So When I'm Guan was born and I guess you're going to have to. So we would wake up and the second they would open their eyes, I would go, When I'm Guan. When I'm Guan. That's it. No, it's not. We need the When I'm Guan, Welcome to my Island Trip remix. They just got in my head and I couldn't stop going, When I'm Guan. When I'm Guan. What's so funny is that when I haven't heard it. Why is my brain like this? When I haven't heard it for a while. When I haven't heard it for a while, you go, When I'm Guan. When I'm Guan. Here's the thing. I just want to audition for American Idol with that. I think you could. Under the moniker. Wait, remember the one time we were going to maybe like do something with American Idol? Yeah, we were going to do a fake audition in Santa Barbara, but we were out of town. It fell through. Yeah, we were on the ride tour. I don't know why these things get stuck in my head. I wish I knew. I'd tell them to stop. But yeah, I guess we're in the When I'm Guan era. But yeah, I would love to maybe be in the corner street cowboy hat on the naked cowboy. Oh, I should be. No, in a jockstrap. And I go, I got a ticket for the long way around two bottles of whiskey and wine. You're gonna miss me over there. You're gonna miss me in your hair. You're gonna miss me in your chair. You're gonna miss me. You're gonna miss me when I'm Guan. When I'm Guan. Okay. All right. So Guan era has officially kicked off. Kicked off. We're so happy. I have to break the fourth wall for that. So today Allow me to clear my throat. I'm going to be writing for something that means the world to me. And this is of course unpaid and God, I wish it was paid to you guys. And health privilege, we have to sort of say. Health privilege. Disclaimer, health privilege. The essence sale. The essence sale. And so I will be writing for panty lines, which there's duality because I also or did you ride for going commando last year? Last season. I don't remember if that was me or you, but I am riding for the inverse, which is having panty lines. And I think there's merit to both. There's room for both. You just gave me a new ride that I'm going to read. Yeah. I want to do baby voice more. You sound. I'm like when I'm in spy kids, when they kidnap the spies and they all speak backwards and what they're saying is, oh, yeah, mad men help us save us. I watch them and then help us save us. I was about to say, how the hell do you know that? Well, people ask what my dream roles are and I go, there's two floop and Ripley. So those are the two Alan Cumming. Alan Cumming is floop. Oh, my God. I'm going to break. This paper studio. The whole thing comes down. It reveals we're on a huge sound stage. You know, I'm going to actually put in my voice. You know those pranks where someone goes in a port-a-potty and then they build an office around it? It's not, but it's a port-a-potty studio. Does it not feel like this? No, we have to. We have to do a viral stunt where someone goes to take a shit in a port-a-potty and they build a podcast studio around them. Yeah, 100%. We're recording and we go, shh, we're recording. Imagine what I'm going to do when I'm 40. Someone said that to me recently and I went, whoa. They said it about you? Imagine what you're going to do when you're 40? Yeah. I was like, I don't even know. Like, what will make me laugh at that point? So wait, what was the thing you thought? Like, I'll be on a unicycle. But what was the thing? Do you know what I mean? What was the thing? Oh my God, what was it? Oh, oh, sleeping naked. That's what I want to ride for at some point. Okay. Rolling around in the sheets, letting it all hang out. Totally. I think I've talked about that because Dr. Oz, a total crockpot. Crockpot. Oh, what did I just call him? Crockpot. Yeah, it's hot as fuck in here. I think that's why I'm laughing so hard. I know. But it's cool. What did he say about sleeping naked? Well, he said, it's good for you. Let it all air out. I don't know if it's good for you. I don't know if it's good for me. I know. But it's cool. Well, he said it's good for you. Let it all air out. I don't know if it's good for you in hotels, though. He also tried to sell magic beans. Did you remember that? Yeah, I've got some in my bag. I'm sure you do. Oh, the magic beans? You can try anything for that dermatitis. Oh, wait. Next episode, we're going to talk about. Hailey Bieber? No. Okay, she did that whole thing about her dermatitis. Yeah. And I appreciate it. And I appreciate her bringing it to the forefront. The things she does for it, they don't work for me, sadly. Sorry. Have you ever tried everything? That's the one thing I haven't tried. Wait, where are we going? Who cares? Ride! Let's get into the essence sale. You want to go first? I think I have to. I'm going to be clearing my throat. I'm losing my voice right now. Hey, can I just say, take a break. From right now? Take a break right now? Take a little break. Okay. So, there's this website. And I do recently marry Beth. It was so sweet. She's like, I know you joke about having a shopping addiction, but if you ever actually want to talk about it, we can. And I thought, hmm. It's just because you brought it up a few times, and I didn't know if it was one of those things where you want me to ask about it. So, I just was checking in. Totally. And I'm glad you did. So, I do love shopping. And by the way, it's no judgment. I love shopping too. Yeah. And I celebrate your wins, which are being able to buy stuff. And I think it's fabulous. It's just, you know, you got to check in on a friend. It's no bigger win than that. Right. It's like, oh, he can keep buying clothes. Totally. Yay. Look at my new baby girl. So, I go, I don't have a shopping addiction. There's bags inside that too. Well, yeah, there's bags in the bags. Yeah. I needed a tote for work. Totally. So, okay, here's the thing. There's this site, Essence. S-S-E-N-S-E. Many people will be hearing it said out loud for the first time right now. By the way, I didn't know how it was pronounced for a while. Oh, is it? Yeah. To me, it's Essence, but. It is. This is proper. This is correct. This is the, of course, the colloquial. Colloquial. Yeah. This is the colloquial. Yeah. Colloquial. The colloquial understanding of Essence. So, okay. So, the Essence is this website that has fabulous brands. I'm under menswear and I do go on it, I would say every day just to see. It's social media to you. It's social media to me. And it's, I kind of have these like three sites that I go to every day that are kind of like, they're ingrained in me for some reason. It's not even that I like. It's involuntary. Yeah. So, I go to High Snobiety. And I still go on Hypebeast. Okay. And then I go to Essence and I'm just like, I wonder what's new. But one thing about Essence, I keep typing in SS. So, I have looked up VSS probably 150 times at this point. Of course. So, I am on a list. Right. And every time I look up VSS, I do read about it. I'm kind of like, all right, well, there's the Wikipedia. There's the Wikipedia again. It is history. We have to sort of read up on that stuff because it's coming back in a huge way. Mm-hmm. So. Well, that's what I'm saying. That's why I'm on a list. We want to be prepared. Know thine enemy or something. Yeah, absolutely. The enemy of my friend is my enemy. What is it? I think so. That. Er. So, okay. So, there's all these fabulous brands. They range from, like, you can get like a classic, like Nike there to Ferragamo. Totally. To. Sandy Liang. Comme des Garcons. To Vivienne Westwood. To Vivienne. And they have a great Vivienne. To Jacquemus. To the Roe. Even if you're feeling absolutely filthy. Mm-hmm. Fucking dirt nasty. Martine Rose. If you want to get a little wink wink. If you want to be a mean gay guy at a party. Yeah. And sometimes I do, I guess. So, I'll venture down there. But something that comes but twice a year, it's the advent calendar, if you will, is the Essence Sale. Everyone knows it. Okay. It's the name on everyone's lips. It's the sale heard around the world. It really is. It really is. And it's just incredible. All these fabulous designers are 30, 40, maybe sometimes even 50. And I think it gets up to 70% off by the end. But it comes twice a year. We're in the middle of an Essence Sale right now. Whoa. So, sometimes when people talk to me with attitude, I go, in the middle of an Essence Sale and you're still acting like this? Yeah, that's not okay. I think it does reflect the economy because sometimes like based on how long the sale is, it reflects like that maybe times are tough. And they definitely are right now. And it's scary. But so, the sale's been kind of going on almost all year, I would say. Yeah. I have to say one criticism. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Right. You want me to go right now? Yeah. They put things on sale, I believe on Essence, different sizes cost different things based on how high demand the size is. Oh, I didn't know this. So, sometimes you'll go on there and like if it's a popular size, it can be up to like $300. Sorry. Sounds like a woman's problem to me. Literally. Yeah. I think that's just different. I haven't seen that at all. It's not just on Essence. It's not just on Essence either. It's on other sites too. But I do love the sale. I love the site. Thank you. One time, I wasn't like a member yet or whatever. Emily let me buy something through her account because this was in COVID because she had access to the even bigger sale when you're a member or you have an account or whatever. It's the private sale. Once you really start to lose yourself to the sale. Sale! Hey, police. Once I get off hold, my friend, my friend's crashing out. I'm losing her. Sale! Anyway. Marketing for the Essence sale. That is so. That song is in Fleabag, by the way. Oh, it really is. I love that she has like metal music when Fleabag comes on. I wonder the reason. I was talking about with JR the other day. Trainer, JR. 45 minutes in. 45 minutes in, JR. So I was like, we were talking about Equinox's branding. Oh my God. Get stung by a bunch of bees in here. Fucker. No, it's literally like, come on his chest, gasoline. New year, new you, cunt. It's like, what? And the photo's like a gay guy buffing a girl's butt. It's very Tom Ford Gucci. It's like pubes. And then like, why don't you eat it? You fucking stupid fucking piece of shit. For all those who have the excuse to kill a bee. There was one advertisement that it was someone covered in bees. And it was like, get stung-er. No, and I'm just picturing the marketing meeting. That's all. That's all they're doing. They're going. Well, they're definitely on Coke, for sure. That's Coke brain. So it's like bees. And she's corseted. Yeah. Holding a big weight. And her hair's frizzy and she's overly spray tanned. And her tits are out. I love it. And we zero fucking clit. All right. So that's the Equinox branding that I wanted to talk about. Essence is different. Essence is more like a dirty closet and an old woman with red lipstick and a fur. Yeah. The selection is divine. You can have a wish list, which is so cool. It feels like Santa. It's childhood wonder. And I love putting things on my wish list. And they have like great returns. You can just really lose yourself to it. And I think sometimes I have to get myself out of it. But I really, Essence sale, some of like everyone's favorite pieces on me have come from them. And I think if you can right now, treat yourself. Because I know all my girlies deserve something cute. If you can. It's a great place to get gifts, too. I've gotten a lot of your gifts there. Your phone case and stuff. Yeah. If you can, you should treat yourself. If you can't, you can still go on there and window shop, which is just adding things to your wish list and admiring them. And maybe one day you'd go back and you check if, you know, the sale's on and you can get it for a discounted price. I'm sure there's some type of tie to the economy with the sales stuff, like you said. And I do feel like right now, like things are so bad and scary. And I don't know what to do. Things are bad. So I don't know what to do but shop. And I said that to you when you brought it up. I was like. Like, well. But shop. Hey, my friend's being a little off today. Is everyone okay? It's hot. It's stuffy in here. If you're hot, imagine what my low back's doing right now. So here's the thing. It seems like everything is connected to your gut microbiome.

a better morning after you heard that right you might be waking up in your own bed or someone else's they may or may not have navy blue sheets lol that's none of my business but it doesn't matter because Julia has you covered the Julie morning after pill uses the same trusted guy no recommended ingredient as plan B to delay ovulation. and prevent pregnancy when taken up to three days after unprotected sex here's the thing if there's no egg there's no fertilization and a lot of you and maybe most likely definitely your boyfriends probably don't even know that and if there's no fertilization there's no pregnancy it's literally science the earlier you use it the better it works and when you need it Julie should be your plan a because it's more affordable than the leading competitor think of the savings as another drink on Julie and the best part is that it's so easy to use all it takes is one pill and you're ready to go. to get on with your life the morning after pill cannot end an existing pregnancy and it won't affect future fertility whatsoever I say this as I'm alone in my apartment with my invisalign in girls girls everywhere can find Julie at CVS Walgreens Walmart Target Amazon all my favorite stores and go puff across all 50 states no age restrictions and no ID required ever I love this company I love the product I think we need to get this into more people's hands and you know what it's good to just have it just in case and if you have a roommate like maybe you don't have sex that could create a child but maybe your roommate does and hey it's nice to be thought of I am hot and guess what I have right now what any lines let's get into it I love I just say I love when I see your panties so something interesting about being blonde was that I was just ignore me yeah I have to sometimes I learned that from Terry because used to do your looping at me and you wouldn't stop until I repeated it back to you and then Terry would say so stop doing that you're encouraging him no you go you just have to do it and then I that's my approach we have a different good cop bad cop approach but sorry here's the thing you just have to do it and then I'll stop a cab obviously we're not allowed to say good cop bad cop anymore oh really I'm just kidding because they're all bad yeah I guess except the lesbian who came to ride live yeah so when I was blonde I felt compelled to wear thongs more I don't know why it was just I do okay yeah yeah I guess it's psychological or whatever but you want to you want a sandwich yeah I really just think panty lines can be so scintillating they can be so sexual to just see in the pant or the skirt or the dress and by the way in the Maryland dress that I wore at going to the Yorkville Whole Foods yeah I used to be like it's kind of satiny material so I was like I don't want panty lines but now I actually like a full panty line I'm wearing a full Everlane brief with them like the or the bikini brief thing well yeah especially after you showed especially after I showed the kitties so I just think like it can be really sexy to like play up the panty lines I think there's a huge obviously trend right now of sheer dresses which you can get I'm sure in the essence sale oh you type in sheer sheer you're gonna be scrolling for a while a lot 12 pages and so I just like that you can make the underwear part of the outfit and it's an accessory and it adds dimension adds texture and adds shape I think so too I you know recently I saw our friend Imogene and she Imogene if you're listening hi darling this is her first this is her debut I would say on the pod but she was wearing these little black shorts and she had a full neon like can I say hanky panky would that be so okay if I said hanky panky have never been more expensive oh really yeah they were there the prices are skyrocketing I have to say there's you want to talk about texture they're very lacy like I would love to do they make men's we'll find out you guys make men's we'll see me in the hanky panky department department get out of here I also love a panty line lately I've been showing off my panty line yeah the other day though I had this outfit planned and accidentally I was wearing pride underwear and I say accidentally because it's like do I want my panty line to say this is love not necessarily not every day I'm sure some days you do and some days it is love period it can be something you see because of how the clothes like rest on the body or it can be something that you pull out and you make it like a whole feature of yourself of the outfit to me I'm just like oh and when I saw imaging wearing these neon panties I was like that must be so hot it's so cool straight guys but maybe it's not like I had this thought because someone I was talking what I when I was on are you a Charlotte which oh my god Kristen Davis I am so queen shit I am so obsessed with this woman we might have her on we have to I think it should just be her randomly she just pops up one day yeah I I literally I want her if we get to do season two she has to be it but we were talking a lot about in sex in the city like the concept of what we think is sexy to people and what we think is like us being sexy is like usually never what the person who's having sex with us thinks is sexy like I especially if it's straight guys like if someone says I'm hot I'm like oh well that's I feel fucking disgusting right now everyone's obsessed with you with stubble and I feel like that's not something that you would have you're gonna talk about this dude I do I have a little today you do and the girls are gonna go crazy. It's honestly, it has nothing more to do than I just think shaving is irritating the fuck out of my face. But maybe I have this thought that maybe I'm going to do mustache. But will that be gross? No. I mean, let's just try it. Let's just see. What if you become attracted to your best friend and we go into this whole thing? It's very uncomfortable. Crazier things have happened. Where you start to get giddy before you see me. You start to get nervous. Remember the table read? When I showed up to the table read where we're compensating. I literally, I was like this. I was giggling. I couldn't, I could not keep a straight face. It was so crazy. It was crazy. It was crazy. It's like the first time we had met all these people. I know. I was so giddy. I can't believe I had to like come out again in front of executives. And then the world, later the world. No. I'm fine with that. I think neon panty lines are sexy. Hey, the world, I can take. I think neon panty lines. Wait, when they all went to the gay rave night. Carrie goes to the gay rave night and she's wearing a like day glow pink bra. Day glow pink undies. We didn't even talk about the way that she plays with panty. Underwear. The way that she plays with panty and underwear and Samantha and oh my God. Oh, well, we have to talk about Alexa Demi and the I am Gia or Gia. Yeah. I don't know. What is it? Gia? I am Gia. The outfit she wears to the carnival. That kind of like revolutionized everything. That I then wore to drag his ass. Yeah. Her look at the premiere of Euphoria with the thong in the back kind of like launched a thousand ships. That's called whale tail. So two things I want to touch on. One is that if your thong is sticking out the back of your pants, it's called whale tail because it makes the shape of a whale tail. Cool of them to kind of. Make that deeply unsexual. I know. Kind of a Moby Dick reference. But in the 2000s, like you could not have a panty line or you would get arrested. You would get detained. So we were just taught that the shape of a woman's body should have no interruptions. It's like you just need that juicy butt and no panty lines, which was a huge pivot from the 80s and 90s with mom jeans and those big panty lines. So I just think it's nice that in the 2020s, we can express ourselves however we want. Some days we wake up and we want to have like a piece of fabric like rubbing against our butthole the whole day. And some days we don't. You can see she's a map of the world. It's a map of the world. I was thinking about I was on a plane recently. Travel privilege. Come on, travel privilege. Me, full brain. Oh, I'm crashing out. Hey, so I'm kind of worried. Benny just looks at me and he said travel privilege and then started cackling. He said, come on, travel privilege. I love you so much. There's that 100 watts smile. That means the world to me. This has been a really fun recording. You just needed your bestie. Maybe sometimes all you need is your bestie, you guys. And a big goblet. Love is all you need. Okay, so here's the thing. What was I saying? Travel privilege. You're on a plane. Oh, yeah. And I look to the left and this woman is watching Devil Wears Prada, which is getting so much buzz, obviously. I watch it almost every time I'm on a plane. I need to watch it again soon. It's been like kind of a while, but I watched it every day as a kid. So I really could just give you the full. There was an article in the New York Times when the movie came out and they have scrubbed it from the internet. I remember this headline verbatim. Does Devil Wears Prada fall short of fashion chic? It is not traceable. They wrote an article saying that the clothes in the movie weren't that good based on the book. They're so good and actually have gotten even better with time. Yeah. I have looked everywhere for this article. It doesn't exist. But I know that somebody at New York Times Style wrote that and like reveal yourself because I was like. I would love to have a chat. You know what's so funny? Recently, I was trying to find something to, you know, I don't think that when someone's going through loss, I don't think that getting them something really nice is off the table. Like, I think people lean flowers, but I was just like, I kind of want my bestie to have shoes. I mean, the floor is yours if you want. Okay, so I send. But the background is that before you had sent me that, I was trying to find the jacket that Anne Hathaway wears when she walks in and they go, are you wearing this? The Chanel boots. The like iconic seam. But she's kind of in this like long Chanel jacket that has like a crest on it. Yeah. I was like, oh, it feels kind of overcompensating and it's black, so it's appropriate. So I, I was grieving at my house and I was looking at the real, real. So the way that you shop Essence, I shop the real, real. There's so much stuff on there. You've got me on there. My obsessions tab is always full and I like to keep an eye on stuff. Do they call it obsessions? They call it obsessions. Believe it. So I had found these Chanel platform sandals. And I sent them to you and I go, should I buy these? And then you literally texted me. Speaking of giving gifts off season and oh my God, it's so my dad coded. You just go, they'll be there in three days. Yeah. Well, duh. If your bestie sends you a link. Sometimes when people do that, I'm like, I know that you're not doing, you're truly just trying to get what my opinion. And I'm like, well, duh. You had to wear Chanel to your dad's memorial service. And I wore Chanel and a light pink Vivian Westwood dress. And it was perfect. The hat is fabulous. Nice hat. Nice hat. The hat is fabulous. You're just trying to hurt me. I got to talk to, I literally got to talk to Kristen Davis about the Prada lipstick skirt, which I was also trying to find for you. Okay. So devil wears Prada. I look to the left and when it's the, you know, the montage at the beginning where it's like this disgusting, hideous woman in Hathaway is like brushing her fucking teeth. Ugly frumpy bitch. In an ugly way. Yeah. I'm listening. I need to pull up something from the models next to her are wearing like full Blair Waldorf, like Asian provocateurs. Like full garters and stuff, which I, I thought was so powerful. No, I love that sequence because Hathaway is one of the most beautiful people that's ever lived. No, like a shocking beauty. Yeah. Hollywood's the best. I love Hollyweird. Yeah. Oh, this is so important. Okay. This is on the Reddit and I loved it. And it's so apt for this episode. Hi, I'm a new listener. And at first I was like, holy crap, whoever's editing this needs to be fired. The way they just keep coming. The next conversation is insane. And then I heard them on Jake Shane's podcast and that's just how they talk. They literally bounce from topic to topic like that. And it's not weird cuts from editing. Oh, I'm obsessed with them. That is my family. That's so sweet. And yeah, I don't know. This is just what it is. It's like how I can't believe anyone's brain stays on one thing. That's so that must be so peaceful. What a great day on earth. But unfortunately, remember, my name is Catherine Hudson and I'm not just one thing from Witness Era. I'm a mother. Can I get away? Can I get away? I'm a and I'm funny and I'm cute. Will you be my witness? I liked that album for what it's worth. Me too. Should we get into Ride or Die? You know what you are, Benny? Hmm. I f*** it. Your words, not mine. Babe, you're my ride or die. Ride or die. What is what? But that's a little of the Easter egg of what's coming in a couple of weeks with my stunt. I have a stunt coming for Mary Beth. Yeah. The song Never Really Over is a dangerous piece of legislation. Oh, and dear media, clip that. I ride for panty lines because I want to see them. I want to see. I want to see the butt. I got to see what you f***ing got under there. Remember in middle school and all the boys were like obsessed with what what in the butt. I don't even I think that's from South Park or something. You could never. I'm going to ride for South Park at some point, by the way. It's like it's my little vice. I just think they're incredible. They are. They're fearless. They're fearless. The latest Trump episode. Like, I have to watch it. I was seeing clips from it. They. They made a season. And I'm I think this is correct. When there were so many school shootings happening where there was a school shooting in every episode like they are. No one's doing it. The pen is hot. I know. Like they're incredible. And it's just. Yeah. That'll be our episode for the Baroni boyfriends. Like Lord. The Lord of it all. Like that's just South Park. You kind of don't get better than that. Oh, yeah. The Baroni boyfriends episode. We'll do what it will be called. What? And I'll ride for. Yeah. I'll ride for Fight Club or something. And we'll bring in just. Just a random straight guy. We meet on the street and see what he thinks of us. Totally. I love that. You know what he's going to say about you. Why won't she piss on me? So I will. Yeah. But I really ride so hard for panty lines. I love showing mine. I love seeing them on my girls. Make it part of the outfit. And I love seeing them on my boys. Totally. Get them out. Just something about seeing like a little boxer peeking out. It's like that's so crazy. Fuck you. For men's underwear. I love boxers. I love boxer briefs. And I love briefs. And here's what I'll say. Do you like whitey tighties? Of course. Yeah. I saw this old Calvin Klein pair that had like almost. I should look them up on Essence. But they almost like came up into like more of a like 80s. Like high cut. Yeah. And I was like, fuck, I might fuck those up. If you're a guy and you're wearing like a suit pant that's a little bit on the more fitted side. Don't be afraid to buy a brief for the event. Like because maybe you want you can have this still the panty line, but it's not around the thigh. I will say straight guys wearing chinos to work or work pants. But yeah, that's the sizing that they're rocking because every now and then I'm walking around like I die and I'm thinking to myself, but don't. Yeah. Yeah. That just that can't be comfortable. No. So just yeah. Play with form. Play with. I know when I put on a chino. Forget it. Curtains. Yeah. What's your thought on the Essence sale, sweetheart? So I love the Essence sale. It loves you. This idea of. Well, I love. Sales are so interesting because, you know, we're frugalistas. You know what it is when you get something on sale. It's. You fucked the system right up. What? What in the butt? Capitalism. What? What in the butt? So it's finger up the booty ass bitch. But here's what I'll say. It's finger in the booty ass bitch. And. And dear media. Clip that. I think it's really immoral that some brands will never have sales and anything they don't sell, they burn it. Oh, this. In like a furnace. It's disgusting. Yeah. And something that I will also say, which I may have said before, is that the stuff that you see at outlet malls is not like unsold inventory. They make stuff. specifically for outlets. So if you think like, oh, well, like, you know, this brand has an outlet. So they're not getting rid of stuff that doesn't sell. They are still probably burning it, which is so bad for the environment. It's like so messed up. And I just think like, I understand that from like a public facing perspective, the brands don't want to have the perception that they need to put stuff on sale. But I think the essence sale really disproves that because it's like, if it's, if it's stuff you're not selling, like why not make a buck or two? You're still making more. Yeah. Also, you know, it's not free. No, it's not free. And so I love the essence sale. I like, I like having three websites you go to every day and not all of them have to be like for work. Some of them can just be for leisure, for pleasure. I love that essence has two S's. I think that's really cool. And it's playing with form. Yeah. Unless, you know, you accidentally look up something. The SS. Yeah. This episode is all about just like personal style and feeling good. It's about feeling good. I agree. It's our big personal style episode. I think it is because make, make the panty line part of the outfit in whatever way you want. And don't worry about how it's being perceived by the people you're attracted to. Just feel good about like yourself. And can I just say like vintage tee, vintage pants, shoes from essence. Totally. Find your truth, find your passion and find the in-between. It's about duality and, and don't, yeah, don't go in there and buy your old closet. Just find some pieces that mean the world to you. Some special pieces, some staple pieces that you'll have forever. Send a link to your best team, maybe. Your gay bestie will get it for you. If it's between showing your kitty to everyone in Yorkville and having a panty line, I'm choosing a panty line every time. And that's kind of just what I would say is the formula for Sydney Sweeney's signature scoop. Oh, my exit. Benny, babe, eyes on the road. Benny, look out! Ride. Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride.
