THE HOME EDIT

In this heartfelt and candid episode, Benito Skinner and Mary Beth Rohn open up about navigating intense personal challenges, including the death of their father, two recent breakups, and deep emotional numbness. They emphasize the importance of not apologizing for one’s feelings and instead embracing vulnerability. The conversation centers on the profound impact of fan-created edits, particularly for the show *Fleabag*, which they describe as emotionally powerful, creative, and cathartic. They share humorous and emotional anecdotes, including a fan edit where a character says “all she wants to do is get naked,” and reflect on how these edits serve as a form of connection and expression. The hosts praise the resilience and strength of each other, calling out the emotional toll of recent events while affirming their unwavering support. The episode also features product promotions for Ocea, Hill House Home, Simply Pop, and Squarespace, with personal storytelling that blends humor and authenticity. Closing with the playful theme “the home edit,” the hosts celebrate user-generated content as a joyful, shared form of creative expression and emotional release, underscoring their commitment to being authentic, present, and grounded in both personal and communal experiences.

"Headspace sent me an email the other day that was like stop stop apologizing for your feelings." "That was a subject fine." "No." "No, wait, are you sorry? No, it was on." "You even called back." "Wait, we have to redo." "We have to redo." "We have to redo." "Start over, start over." "No, keep all this. Come on, we're rough and tumble." "No." "I have a full, allergic reaction on my eye. I have a rosacea mountain on my cheek. I haven't shaved. I'm home. I'm wearing super super super ball." "Super ball merch." "Super ball merch." "And I'm figuring it all out." "I'm fatherless. I am I'm I'm I'm I didn't have to be with fatherless." "It's great. I'm in grief mode. We're in crisis lockdown mode here at the house. I am in my apartment, which everyone can now see what the inside of my apartment looks like. You can see the cup chair from article over there in the corner.

Try me. Try to get me all posters.com." "I feel like you don't remember the poster of the two girls in black and white that were making out with each other in the bed. You didn't clock that in college." "I do." "It's like a very famous poster. It's like one girl is Bernat. I think the other one's blonde and they're in their underwear and a t-shirt and they're making out on their side." "Well, this is same as if you showed me Morgan Wallen. I just wouldn't know who that was. And I'm sure I'd have a conversation with him. And I could get through the whole thing and I would not know I was talking to Morgan Wallen, God's country's own." "Okay. And so that's the one that that is because there's just too many names flying around these days." "Oh, you know what someone said? They said that why did the boycy zoo seeing lions have a threesome at the boycy zoo? Why was that like my least Cyrus archival?" "Because it's once in a moment that you see that line." "That should be so easy way. I'm going to pin you really quick. Keep all this." "Okay, there we go." "I was just seeing too much of myself. I was very much like being perceived by myself. It was terrible." "I know. That's really scary. I guess first things first. And like I do want to just say this. So this is our first recording that we've done in a while because we had banked a bunch episodes. I don't know what is gonna come out of my mouth today. I'm excited to find out. Same as you." "Oh, no. Totally. And can I just say, me and the daughters, like we're in the car with you, whatever you want to say, I cannot believe you're here. I cannot believe you've done comedy since. I cannot believe you're glowing. I look terrible. And I have no excuse. It almost sounds like as if this is the first time like you and I have talked about this, which I did just want to get a number on how many calls we've had. And I don't think it would make anyone feel better about either of us. Can I just say, Mary Beth and I do share a manager and she had some thoughts on how many times we had called these. Do you have a count? Is there a way to know? Okay, are you ready? Do you want to start on June 30th or when should we start this? Yeah, I think June 30th is that's a good place to start. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29. I mean, this is going to be in triple, triple digit. 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37. Look at this little, oh my God, there's this incredible little streak with every time next to your FaceTime. It says, "Two, we were just like two, two, two." Back to back to back. I feel strong that we're right around 50. I'm thinking it's even more, but really? I think that was pretty close, but you're forgetting that the texting. Yes, and I forgot what day it was actually, which we'll never say on the pod, but I wanted to just say that I really appreciate everyone's sweet messages. I am currently not able to really like internalize anything positive. So I'm excited to revisit everything when I am able to. I think it'll be nice to just have that. Right now, I'm not in a good place, I would say. Well, and that is healthy and fair, and please stop apologizing for your feelings. Please, for the love of God. As calm or headspace-ass, which one? It was calm, it was calm. Okay, good girl. It was for sure calm. I talk about you all day. I had this one video where it was like me moving my hips, and I'm like, you're so fixate on my hips, POV or fixate on my hips, you can't hear me talk about Mary Beth, but that is me lately. Can I just say, you are the strongest person I've ever known, the fact that you, the work that you've done the past two months while all of this was going on, and something else really awful happened to you. I just am constantly in awe of you. I think for you, I'm fan first. Can I just say? Friend second, I'm fan first. I love you so much. It's so terrible. This is, I'm slightly uncomfortable right now because it kind of is this weird feeling of it feeling like this is the first time we've talked about it, which I'm like, there's a lightness to how I'm doing this, and I'm like, I swear to God, that some of the tougher calls, I think, are private. We wouldn't do those on the podcast. I have a great support system, and that has been essential to me, and my heart goes out to people that don't have that. I feel lucky in a lot of ways that I have so many friends and my family are really there for me right now. I will say something that I have not shared, and we might cut this. I don't know. We probably won't, but I have now gone through two huge breakups in the last 12 months, and my dad died. So I definitely think this could be a villain origin story. I don't know what's going to happen. I have a lot of love in my heart still. I don't think I will go that I just don't know what's going to happen. I just don't know, and it's just been a really difficult time. I feel very numb right now. That's why I'm like, it's, I'm, it's just, I don't even know what to say. Yeah, it's very much, can we skip to the good part, but like, for real? But for real. Okay. Can I say two things that you've done that like through this? I just love you so much. I'm so sad, but also you're making me laugh so much like you're so out of pocket right now. Mary Beth, I will say it for you because you have to brag about your friends. And when they hear someone on a text, you have to tell them the first thing I was going to say was when you go, I've been getting a lot of sweet messages. I was like, yeah, I just came to the show tonight, and I had a, I paid for a white, white, yeah, white, very white lawn. It was like, you owe me money for this. $10. And you're like, sweetie, my dad died last week. $10 to on Fennel. And what a lot of people don't know is that I screen shoted that message to you. And I go, should I have this rate this guy? And you go decimate. Yeah. I go, oh honey, as a tree, of course. Hey, you don't always have to. And, and I don't think you always should. But every now and then as a tree, like this one woman, I remember it was on like a deliverance Richards video I did. And she was like, used to be funny before you got political. And I just said, like, you're not allowed to talk to me with eyebrows like that. Yeah. That was a huge moment. No one with eyebrows that look like that is allowed to say anything to me or comment on anything I'm involved in. So I blocked her. And then, you know, I'm glad that maybe at least she returned to the mirror that night and thought just for two seconds to my eyebrows like fucking insane, you know, probably I bet she's still rocking them. For sure. But you deserve that so much. So that was one that I loved. And then your ex texted you how you holding up. And I now quote this like every day, you responded, oh, I'm shattered, sweetie. I had nothing else to say. Sorry, sorry. Oh, I'm shattered, sweetie. Are you holding on? And he was too stunned to speak. He didn't respond to that. Not responding. That's right. Now I have to take this off. This is my big prop today. Hey, I really, oh, that's going to stick with me for a while. And then the whole cast was court, very sweet, the sweetest man alive. He dives to the whole cast. Like how's everyone doing? And then, you know, in their, in their cities and stuff. And you go, hmm, well, I'm just doing a lot of lying down and trying to find the which that put a curse on me. Well, I still have not fucking bounder. So if anyone hears anything, please let me know. Well, you know what I said, I go, it's not a witch. It's a wizard. Yeah, for sure. And I'm opening a tip line just if you have you seen this wizard, I have no information besides they're really mad at me. And the curse, whatever it was, it's working. So yeah, it's been tough. I didn't really want to talk about the breakup. Like it happened between seasons, which was kind of weird. And then I was like, I didn't know how much I was going to talk about on the podcast because we never really talked about the relationship that much. So I'm still navigating what it's like to just like have that stuff like I don't know have a podcast where I really want to share everything with you guys and we're still figuring it out. So I we want all of you. Yeah, I'm just sad and I I would love to come on here and just talk about something good. And we will. I don't know when, but I have like a few things we could talk about that. I mean, my whole thing is that like I'm put here to be your gestor. You're the queen of the court. And I get to dance for you like a little monkey. And that's all I really want to do right now. I just want to like I I'm seeing you in Montreal soon. I was going to do a kind of like set piece today. Yeah, for the pod. But I I feel like I should do that in person. Also, this is so incredible. I'm watching you and all of a sudden I feel like I'm watching an Emma Chamberlain vlog. Like I when you said I just like want to share with you guys, I was like I'm not on this podcast. No, this is her space. And now I'm just like I as I said, I'm a fan first. It's interesting. You haven't really dropped bombs on the podcast bombs. One day I'll tell you about someone who really hated an impression of me and like ruined my life for a while. Oh, fuck. You get that one day, I will tell you that someone like pretty much decimated me. Well, what's crazy is that when we tell the whole story, we were on the way to record ride when that happened. And I had to cancel. I cried for like a year. It was like the meanest. It was just the saddest. I wouldn't say meanest. It's like people are, you know, it's pretty me. It wasn't the nicest message I received. I will say this one thing. They said I haven't memorized I could do it right now. No, I know. So there's quite a few people. One of the statements was like, you know, people think you're cute, like you're not. And I was like, you can take anything away from me. Sure. But do not take away that by love. So I would say my last like couple of years have been born in reaction to that. To that. But that's that might be the only, you know, big, that's the big bomb I've got. I have no update on season two. I it is not in my hands. I'm ready to go when Amazon is ready to go. That's my statement on that. But I feel like some people. I don't know. Some of the comments are like, you know, what are you doing? Get back to it. It's like, no, I would. I, we will. We will. We will. I don't have the power to. Yeah. So that's not, I don't, that's not my job. I'm Kiana and I leveled up my business with Shopify. Once I figured out that Shopify was a thing, I never turned back.

I got like a little burnt on my back and it's truly delicious. Like I can't stress this enough and I didn't have lotion. Then I saw that I had this and I was like, oh, wait, we're doing ads for them. I should slather and I did and oh my god, I was a dolphin. Would you say that it was rich but never greasy? Well, of course, I hate greasy stuff. Body oils are better for that.

And bury me. I have two things I want to talk about. One being the fact that we watched it ends with us when I was in L.A. staying at your house. And we haven't recorded since then. We ordered Goo Kitchen multiple times. We did watch it in two sittings because we started late, but that was not a reflection of the quality of it. I think we were really both surprised by how good it was. And what was really cool was that we met two characters, Lily Bloom, Lily Bloom and Riles Concaid and Riles Concaid. So there's so there's this Riles Concaid. No, at one point. At one point, I sort of known doubt for a second and a new character had come into the scene whose name was Atlas, but I was like, wait, who's that? And you go, oh, that's Truth Creep. And it's my name is Truth Creep. Tell me he's not Truth Creep. I'm sorry, it's like immediately. So fast. No, I didn't hesitate for one second. No, I just like so fast. That's Truth Creep. Yeah, it's like how you texted me and you go, have you seen in just like that? And then the next text was Deakin Reeves. It's Duncan. Duncan. Oh my God, wait, can I just wait? He should be Deakin Reeves. I'll tell the writers. There's one more inconsistency that I have to flag. It should be Deakin. He is really a total stud. Last episode, but I can't get over this scene that happened in and just like that. Miranda is kind of like a spinster. And she's sorry, she's socially inept. All of the sudden, she's always eating something she shouldn't and carries kitchen, which carries the biggest house in the world, small kitchen. I love it. Oh, and that was a huge note from someone else that I know that watched it. And also, yeah, they were just like, wait, well, no, I think it was my sister Pam actually. I was trying to place it. I think my sister was like, why would she have a gigantic like old home built in the 1800s or whatever. And then her kitchen is like, it's like this, it's like the servant's kitchen or something. Well, it really is so bizarre. in kitchen aside, smeg fridge. Oh my god, please can everyone promise not to show my dad that fridge. Can you guys all, can you guys all sign in out to not wait, there's that hunter watch smile that I love so much. Sorry, means the world to see it. Sorry, Carrie is like, she's a tyrant. No, no, are you ready? I have, I have one too. I have one I'm ready. Hey Miranda. Yeah, why don't you go fuck yourself? She's literally like, Hey Miranda, if you fucking say some shit like that again, I can knock your teeth out. Wait, wait, wait, on the runners, on the runners, on the runners. Whoa, girl. I'm a Mexican Coke. You're gonna have runners in your house 24/7. Is that my Mexican Coke? It's not just her Mexican Coke. It's the last Mexican Coke, which implies that there have been multiple and this is the last one. I'm so because I can't lie, like, her saying is that my last Mexican Coke is so my mom coded that I'm like, okay, you guys spilled with that. Yeah, it's like, Carrie, go to the store. You're on your last banana. You're on your last yogurt and your last Mexican Coke. Honey, let's get a door dash in there. She couldn't be richer. It's kind of like a huge plot. It's a huge plot point. But like, she just couldn't be richer. It's kind of, and I'm like, yeah, no, totally. The woman asked herself what she had gotten herself into. Now, if that isn't Nina Terama. Yeah. Here's my thing. I think everyone is so critical. And obviously it's like, you know, fans of the show and they come to it with all these things. It's like, I don't know. I'm entertained. Oh, I'm watching it. I'm glued to the TV. I'm not complaining. They're giving us more of the characters. We love you're nobody until you're talked about. Didn't gossip girl teach us that. Well, it's starting conversations. It's you face timing me. I had friends here who also watching just like that. And you were face timing me while we were watching "Tropic Thunder" because you kept hitting these sort of really pivotal moments in the episode. And it was just like, we had been talking about it all night up to that point. Oh my God. No, I'm going to do the Aiden when he spits on his hand. He, he liked it like a, like a panther. It was like a kitty cat. It was shocking. That should have been it. That accomplishing is my thing. Oh my God. Why it why it's one to watch. Why it's to watch for me personally. He's one to watch. Yeah. I would say carries kind of his or his villain or just yeah, which I don't know that it's deserved necessarily. But I really, and I just before we get into our rides, I do want to talk about Joe and the juice. So Mary Beth hit me with a new. Oh, can I say something to you? Sorry, sorry, sorry. And I have to say it with these on. Ready? Yep. Rihanna is smurf. That's it. So this is one of those things where like I had taken my wife out to dinner and she says something to me, I can't believe I didn't know this story because it's one of those things. It's like you have to face Jim almost getting there. It's exactly the same in killing my lady, James Edward Blumel. Blumel. Blumel. Why did that just go? That it's Blumel. Why did all of a sudden I got insecure? I was like, it's been a while. Trust, but Eddie, if you're listening, sorry, Eddie Obama. I never say your last name. Can I tell you something? He's not. So, okay, God. Life comes at you fast. So, so here's the thing I'm the king of the world. It's very you. You don't. I'm the king of the world. So this is one of those things where I pictured it so vividly in my head that I have since you told me I have laughed about it five, like I'm not getting five times. I can't stop laughing. You you added to the doc. You said eating at Joe and the juice in London, Paris and Copenhagen. Paris Copenhagen. It's very much like when Layton Meister in that one song. I'm forgetting which one somebody to love, I think, where she goes from Paris to Michigan. She says Michigan randomly. And it just reminded me of that. I'm like, I've seen this. It's like wake up, wake up like on a Saturday night. Like I've been through. It's just I don't even go to Joe and the juice in L.A. But for some reason, they have taken over Europa in a way that I'm like, that is. Started in Europe and started in Europe. It might have even started in Copenhagen. Yeah. Well, it's so funny because it has such a weird L.A. attitude. Like the signs are so L.A. It's like juice. Yeah. I'm juice. And it's like get juice. Motherfucker. So I'm going to pee my pants. It's not it's not goof kitchen, by the way. It's much more like, and it's not Jimmy John's either. We drink coffee to piss. Come on inside. Don't you want to drink coffee cold brew that'll make you what? Like, you know, we got the juice. Cold brew that'll make you what? You know what I mean? But yeah, I've been to three of them and eating. Yeah, it's just cool that you know, cracker sandwich, really. And some of my favorite cities have been to in the past. Like, you know, wow, the one in my gym was really good in the world. I went to the London one was right by my hotel. Oh, here he goes. A broad London again, but I went twice. It would they did a really good job. I love. You've talked about London more since you went for two days. Then I did the entire time I was dating a British person. So I am going to set the scene once more. Joe and the US took New York City by storm when it opened. I want to say it was like 2016, 2017, 2018. They had a few locations. They used to only hire male models. Only male models would be working there. Oh, I was part of their stick. I think it was mostly girly pops when I was there, but they were, I mean, it was like, all times have changed. Yeah. Also, they would blast like club, club music. So when I worked at SoulCycle Soho, there was a Joe and the juice that was like a block away. And when I used to work there, I would have to wake up at 430 in the morning to get over there. It was still pitch blackout and I, you have to open the studio. And then you're having your lunch at like nine a.m. And you've been up since 430. So I walked over. I just skipped right over to Joe and the juice to, you know, gock at the models and get a little gluten free tunicato. And so I waited in the line. I ordered a sandwich and then I left without paying or the sandwich. I just got in the line. I waited and I ordered and then I walked out and I completely forgot until I was eating a different meal at the studio that I had then gone to get. And I realized, oh my God. I ordered a sandwich. There was a little toasty waiting for you. There was a cracker sandwich that was literally like, that was just love. Like, what's that? What's that thing where it's like when you're one of the cousins you meet one of the other cousins? And it's like the fact that I'm just like the fuck the fuck you fuck the fuck? Wait. I, it's so you and I can see you doing all this. And you realizing it too. It's kind of the funniest thing about, it's so sweet to me. I don't know why. It's just like, it's you and your, your purist form. Yeah. Just doing like, just working so hard. It was in a way. It was so bimbo coated that it becomes galaxy brain to just order food in a restaurant restaurant. That's casual dining and forget you did it. So yeah, as you said that, I just thought about recently where I got yesterday to rope off with the things still in the car. What? You did wait, those are such parallels didn't fuck up your car. This is the first time hearing of it. I could not stop laughing though. I, they go out really fast, by the way, there's like actually not to tell my girls to try it. I just started laughing. At first, it scared the shit out of me. I thought the car was going to blow up. I was like, I knew I wasn't good at getting cast. It's the scene in Zoolander where they all go up in flames, which you know, I'm dying to do for Halloween. I'm just glad he lived to tell the tale because that's really scary. But yeah, so Joe and the juice, I, this is crazy. It's not from LA. Do you get what I mean? Like the color, the like all of the marketing, like I'm not trying to be a little American. It's like it out comes from that, like, you know, but I am just like that definitely. Our culture is not your costume. Right. You're pissing me off. And Joe, you're on notice, get juiced. I don't even need to do rides, but if you want to do rides, we can do rides. Okay. I'm going to tell you one ride. And then actually, I feel like you shouldn't have to ride for anything this week.

Wait, where are we going? Who cares? Ride. I ride for fan edits. I think the art of a fan edit is so unbelievable. I showed you a flea bag one that was set to Lords, David. And yes, I'll be talking about Virgin in two weeks. Oh, that's pretty soon. That's sooner than I was thinking. I'm more relevant these days. I'm more on the face. Just feels like it feels like we could sort of get nuke to any moment. So we kind of need to stay on top of things lately. Exactly. I'm literally out to Marianne Cotier, it's people. We got to get you in before this all ends. Please. Come on, sister. Before I end with us. Do not right now. Ridley Dangerfield. Truth Creek. That's Ridley Dangerfield. Riles can Cade. Riles can Cade. So that just happened. Yeah. Truth Creek. That'll be a part of our merch collection. I think we should do merch that makes no sense. I really do. Like, it looks like AI wrote it, but we actually spent a lot of time on it. Months and months. Mm-hmm. Okay. So I ride for these fannets. There was a flea bag one set to David from Virgin. And I have never been so affected by something. And you pointed out something really beautiful to me. And I'll post a few of our favorites on Ride the Pod. That they're made by someone. They're edited. They have to, I don't even know how they get all that footage. Like, I don't either because they get high res. I assume there was some sort of template. You could just upload a, like, you upload, like, a link to an episode two and it just chops it up for you. It is literally, I mean, maybe the teens have some access to something I don't. I think there's something because with overcomplicating, there was some that felt like the same clips have been used that were made for like the player. Well, maybe they were able to get, I don't know. But when I wanted to make another one of John Assoff, the first fan I ever saw was of John Assoff when he was running for Senate in Georgia. So I thought, okay, I can't find the one that I screen recorded. I'll just make a new one. It is actually so difficult and time consuming. It's tedious. And I think that these teens, wherever they are, I don't know what country they're in, but I'm so thankful. And wow, the fan edits of overcomplicating just like, I can't describe the feeling that gave me. There was one of you that I'm like, I could lift a car after watching it. That one where it's like, I want it right now, I want to get fucked. That one, I love. There's one. Do me. I want it. Do me. I want it. Do me. I want to be. This. Oh, the summy edits. I also love the, what's the one where it's like, all she want to do is fuck? All she want to do is get naked. That one. It's sometimes it's weird because it's like, there was one that was a mix of you and I that I was dying at because it was like all our sex scenes and just like we do play siblings in it. But I was. But I was like, woo. And then there was one, there were a few that were using the, the drop right before they show like sexy things of you. They used me calling Sammy the F slur, which I'm going to say F slur because that is a sad scene in it as like drop. And I was like, huh, this is making me feel uncomfortable, but still it's an art form. And oh my god, there's so there was one that mashed up the me and Carmen hug and with like all these like major like friendship hugs and things that just in a month and in TV history. And they did it to claws. And I was just like, I, I've like sobbed to these. I mean, have you ever seen yourself get got by a straight man on a fan cam upwards of a thousand times? Like, yes, we've all been. I have now. Actually. Yeah. It's art. It's creativity. I think just for people, I guess that maybe don't know what fan it is are. It's like, they chop up a bunch of clips from the show and it's usually focused on one or two characters. And they set it to like a really high octane song or like pretty isn't pretty by Olivia Rodrigo, which I really like that one. I love that one of you. But it's just like it's bite size and it's just like it is like candy and I'm just like I want more and more and it's just like fun. It's fun to see how the fans take the take the show and like create from that. It's very cool. It's delicious. I've seen I saw a Tony soprano one set to spring breakers this morning that's fucking woke me up. I really like I can't stop watching them. The ones of Fleabag, there was one of that scene where he says we can't have sex or off on love with you. And on that note, I did call you the other day and I said since I can't feel anything right now, I'm having these moments of just full numbness. I was like, I think it's time for me to rewatch Fleabag. And if that can't, then I think you need even more time to just rest and not ride for anything. I'll just say that. I'm resting. So many unbelievable moments in that show, like when she says, oh, I actually can't because I'm just like, then I'm just, I'm sick if I say this to you right now. Yeah. But I do think, okay, fine. I'm just going to say this one thing. I think the most genius thing in the world is when her hair looks really good at her mom's funeral because I just think that's like, it's so, she's so genius. That's so funny. She's like, it always lands and like keeps in the chic way. Also, it's only six episodes per season ends two seasons. So it's really not even a big commitment. If anything, I wish there was more. Well, I want to write for it. I think we should do a carpool separately. I'm just saying the fan edits can like I, if you see them on my story, maybe close your eyes because you just, you know, because that's a salt, let's just say you're not ready for it. It'll pass yet. Yeah. You're not. You haven't done the work. I get it. I get it. But it totally. You do it to cut me. You've cut me with it. You say it all the time. But like it'll pass is like a freeze. So it's just. Now, it's like sometimes I'll say that about like, you know, Rosacea and you're like, don't say that. Is it, hey, can I just say one thing about it? It won't. It wasn't. Yeah. I'm addicted. Speaking of which I also put in the, in our notes app, I was at the Americana. I think I had just seen materialists. And there's a store there that's kind of one of those like wet seal offshoot stores. You know how there's only like, and they're all kind of called like Blue Mango or something. Mm-hmm. So this one was called. It's the wet seal offshoot stores known as Blue Mango and other. Hey, I, it's a very painterly, like I didn't I say it has a painter. Mary, that keeps making fun of me for saying that plus and boots has a painterly quality to it. I don't care anymore. I'm too tired. I love that you said that because it's just like, it's just whatever comes out is what comes out. Like it. I think that's beautiful. Everyone should be constantly surrounding themselves with people where they could say something like it has a painterly quality to it. And the person celebrated was my okay. The person celebrates it, but they're also not going to let it slide. Yeah. Well, of course they have to say like, hey, so that's not the English language. But like I get what you were going for. But okay. So speaking of which, this store was called addicted, but at first the way it was spelled it was E-D-I-K-T-E-D. So I was looking at it. What the fuck does that say? - And then for the rest of the network, I'm saying it did. - It almost feels like something that Britney Spears could come up with, especially the way you're saying it. - No, it was. I think it's fully her pronunciation of the word addicted. - It did. - There's also this speaking of fan edits, there is a Britney Spears one, but you talk about I could lift a car, but there's one of her like best, just like obliterating interviewers one, that just, I guess this is less of a fan edit, more of just like a kind of conversation, a super cut, if you will. But Mary Beth and I cannot stop doing her at a press conference. I almost wrote for just this, by the way, that was on my list today. - I would be down to talk about this at length in the future, just for what it's worth. - Great. So, okay, I'll keep it on the list. Britney Spears being asked by a reporter at a press conference if I believe it would've been Justin Timberlake at the time was uncomfortable with her kissing her co-star in Crossroads. And she said, no, it's just a movie, it's pretend you're an adult, you should know that. - You should know that. - And then she goes, no, it's a movie, it's pretend you're an adult. You should know that. - It did. - It's literally like. - It did. - Also, someone asked me, you sent me a clip of someone asking her, have you ever licked a battery? - Have I ever licked a battery? And then she rolls her eyes. I was like, she just no one's ever done it like her. Her on X-Factor saying, I want to know who let you on that stage. I feel uncomfortable with you even looking at me. - Literally. - She is so Mary Beth coded on the X-Factor panel. - No, don't put me on a judge's table ever. - I actually think you should be. I think one season of Mary Beth, American Idol. Pitchy. - I don't think you should do this for work. I end a different thing. - All she want to do is get naked. I have that in my head. Sometimes I'm living like, yeah, send us your favorite fan edits. It can be of any show if they're of overcompensating. Hey, I'd love that. - All the better. - I watch them all the time. Like, oh my God, the like, the Carmen ones, the Haley ones. - Oh, we can post a dump. We can post a dump of our favorite fan edits. I mean, we probably won't, because everything we say we're going to post on here, we usually never do. - We almost do. - We do, we do maybe one in ten things we talk about that we're going to post, but I can post my John Auseff one. I can post some grace ones. There was a really good one to manchild about Peter. I mean, we have infinitely many. What was the one that was like? - No, it seems. - No, I was literally about to say the one that was like, really vulgar, and it was like a country song. - No. It was like, I ain't gay, but I do gay stuff, the fucking dudes. I'm saying that. In the second I said that line, now I know all the words. I ain't gay, but I do gay stuff, like fucking dudes in the back of my truck. And little less. - And it's Morgan. - It's Morgan Whalen, right? - I kiss Morgan Wallen. When Wallen did that, I keep thinking about it. Okay. - I have no comment. In fact, I'm just amplifying, I have no response. - Exactly. - I ride for fan edits. I think that is clear based on how many I have posted, and included in dumps and stories and things like that. How many, I've reposted on TikTok. I had a freaking blast with just sitting back and watching the art that was created from the art that you created, and so I, I, and that we created. And so I love it. I think they're just like good fun for the whole family. I was surprised that some of the fan edits could have like boners in them on TikTok, but I say like, once again, we have no sex education in this country, so I guess that's what we have to do now. - Oh, one had my full ass. - Perfect. - And then it was just like you had to just say you were okay with seeing it, which I hope everyone did. Please come on. - Please. - I just wanted to see this thing. - Yeah. Isn't that crazy? - That they had to opt in. - No, that someone could have a crush on you and look you up and see that. Very best. - Yeah. That was such a non-sequitur. - I know. - But I miss that whole sentence. - You call someone 50 times and they can't read your fucking mind. Oh, look at it. And then you guys can finally see my phone background. - Yep. - All she wanted to do was get naked, stop don't limit lightning. - It is crazy. I mean, as someone that hasn't had many celebrity crush, I like that I have the option to see the content that is made of them. And yeah, how cool is that? I mean, let's, if you have a crush, what a powerful tool looking at fan edits of a person. - What a powerful tool. My AirPods have decided to give me this really immersive experience of almost like I'm being on a plane where like it pops every now and then and kind of like there's like a really weird flux of hearing my own thoughts voice in this. But I think that's what's cool about a home, the home edit, as it's a horror. - It's the home edit. - This is the home edit. Can we just call this episode the home edit? - The home edit. And I actually think, I know, I think we have some rides coming up that I'm excited about that we had planned a long time ago that I'm excited to do. But this was a good way back in. It's just so weird with the timeline of it all because I'm like, people listening to the last two weeks probably don't even know that that was like so long ago. That was like crazy long ago. And I had written this whole thing about my dad being sick and I read it on Aaron. We did have to cut it because he unfortunately passed away between when we recorded it and when it was going to come out. But I do want to just send love to all the baronies who are experiencing grief in any way. And especially with sick parents, because it's just, it's, it's the saddest thing. - I can't stress enough how proud your dad is of you. I know that because he's told me and I love him so much. He's such a king. And he truly, he raised like six absolutely sleigh, liberal, darling, hot, tall people. - Yeah. - Oh, he really, he, yeah, he tore that right up and he knew it. - Yeah. - I'm just so, he's so proud of you. - Oh my God, you made him laugh so much. Like, are you kidding? That's his baby love. - I wrote many jokes. - I wrote many jokes about him, wrote many jokes. - I want to say thank you to the baronies. I love you all so much. And I know it, I feel like I sound even more monotone than usual today. And that's just what's going to be for me. I'm just like, can you believe how heavy the mic is? That's what I've kind of sat with for a while. We are just all in awe of you. I speak for all my kids because I know we all feel this way. And you being here, I am blown away. And I love you so much. And I've said this on probably one of our 50 face times here my bestie. And we are all going to be right here and we will take you as you are. And my God, you're out of pocket lately. You're making me laugh girl. Jesus Christ. - Oh, well, I mean, it's all I can do. - We love you. Give mama baronicus for me this weekend. - I love you. I can't wait to hold her soon. - I love you here tonight. - I literally can't wait to hold her. Have a little pork. It's date night girl. - What? - She's looking forward to it. - Love you, Cat. - Love you, Cat. - My name is Truth Freep. - Oh, my accent. - Any babe, eyes in the road. - There you go. - Rye, rye. - Please note that this episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
