Ride with Benito Skinner and Mary Beth Barone

Episode: ENCYCLOPEDIA of RIDE PT. I
Date: December 24, 2025
Host: Dear Media

Episode Overview

In this episode, Benito Skinner and Mary Beth Barone embark on the ambitious project of cataloging the inside jokes, terminology, and recurring references that define their podcast “Ride.” Framed as an “encyclopedia” for both new and long-time fans, this episode is a breezy, meta, and interactive walk through the RIDE universe—a crash course in the language, lore, and sensibility that have evolved since the duo began. Their goal: to create a resource for listeners (lovingly dubbed “the Baronis”) so everyone can be in on the jokes, and to reminisce about favorite moments and podcast heritage.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. The Purpose of the Encyclopedia of Ride (00:41-01:24)

• Benito and Mary Beth explain this is a rerun of an older recording, serving as a repository for all their unique language and inside jokes—"a resource... because it's so much brain rot."
• Their intention: help listeners (especially new ones) decode the podcast’s recurring references.

2. Radical Honesty and Social Interactions (01:24-02:30)

• Mary Beth announces her new mantra for 2026: radical honesty in awkward encounters.
  • Quote: "If someone says something to me that's completely out of pocket, I'm gonna go, 'Why would you say that to me?'" — Mary Beth (01:34)
• Benito relates, noting the importance of addressing weird or uncomfortable comments instantly, rather than stewing on them.

3. Introduction to the Encyclopedia and Listener Appreciation (03:34-04:02)

• Acknowledgment of their dedicated fans, the “Baronis”.
  • Quote: “We are truly grateful. Every single day.” — Mary Beth (03:59)
• The episode’s content is inspired by a suggestion to create a lexicon of the show’s unique terms.

4. How to Use the Encyclopedia Episode (04:22-05:20)

• The hosts joke about the dangers of joining a podcast midway, likening their show’s arc to Harry Potter (with satirical references to JK Rowling).
• Introduction of key recurring bits: inside jokes, arcs, and the evolving language of Ride.

5. Core Ride Terminology and Their Origins

a. Turf Hogwarts / JK / "Not to bring up Turf Hogwarts but..." (04:55-05:58)

• Reference to JK Rowling’s transphobia and their practice of substituting "Hogwarts" with "Turf Hogwarts" to signal their disapproval.
• Quote: "If this is her hot take on the trans community, then I'm good on the rest of it." — Mary Beth (05:39)

b. Phaita, Taika, and Taika as an Adjective (06:12-08:13)

• The playful evolution of the word “fight” (phaita) into a nonsense word “taika,” eventually attributed to Taika Waititi and becoming an in-group adjective for something irreverent or unique.
• Quote: "Taika is an adjective. If you've been to ride live, we go through it in depth. But basically, taika, it's irreverent, it's playful. It's not always good. And it's subjective." — Benito (07:34)

c. America's Next Top Model / "Were you scared?" (08:15-08:24)

• Referencing Tyra Banks and the iconic phrase "Were you scared?", which is now essential Ride lingo.
• Quote: “That is a Tyra Banks quote.” — Benito (08:21)

d. Cheating (“The New Rules of Cheating”) (08:24-09:39)

• Satirical expansion of “cheating” beyond sexual infidelity: exes, past hookups, and other trivial acts are tongue-in-cheek recast as “cheating.”
• Quote: “If you've ever had an ex, that's cheating on your current partner. If you've had sex before, also cheating. If you're going to dinner with someone from your past that knew your ex, that's cheating. So, you know, you see, there are just so many ways to betray your partner.” — Mary Beth (09:00)

e. Audio Jungle (09:39-10:27)

• Inside joke invoking royalty-free music site AudioJungle.net—“Audio Jungle” is dropped mid-conversation or when referencing music they haven’t licensed.

f. “Oh my god, I just went viral” (15:33-16:17)

• A phrase borrowed from friends who exaggerate minor incidents with dramatic reactions. Used for any overblown, insignificant “going viral” moment.
• Quote: “If a crumb falls on the ground, they're like ‘oh my god,’ and you're like 'what happened?’ It’s the same reaction as ‘I got stabbed’ and someone wore this outfit on a red carpet.” — Benito (15:35)

g. Pushy (16:27-16:35)

• Simply a playful, euphemistic take on “pussy,” often used in jest.

h. Fucker / Fucker Jones / Love you, kid / Love you, sweat (17:46-19:52)

• "Fucker" is a term of endearment or light-hearted ribbing; "Fucker Jones" is a leveled-up “fucker” (originating backstage); "love you, kid" and "love you, sweat" are gentle sign-offs, sometimes with an edge, after a back-and-forth.

6. More Deep-Cut References and Ride “Heritage”

i. Ribbit / Rabbit Girl / “I can see it now” (20:10-20:39)

• “Ribbit” references online frog-cosplay culture and video memes. “I can see it now” is their cinematic way to punctuate a story.

j. The Faboo and Worsty Awards/Heritage Episodes (21:41-22:50, 27:32-28:22)

• The “Faboo Awards” and “Bestie of the Year” are mock award ceremonies for friends, fans, and moments in the podcast—contrasted by the “Worsty Awards” for the not-so-great.
• Episodes or themes that encapsulate the podcast essence are “Ride Heritage.”

k. Nina & Alter Egos (28:23-29:00)

• References to Benito’s skit character “Nina Drama” and how alter egos give flavor to the show.

l. Essential Song Lyric Knowledge (29:00-30:10)

• Listeners are expected to know Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, and Charli XCX—song lyrics are often woven into banter.

m. Tiffany Check / Toe Curling Orgasm (30:52-31:19)

• “Tiffany check” refers to the pleasing clack of Benito’s Tiffany bracelet; “toe curling orgasm” is used sarcastically for describing any delight.

n. Living In/Living At Your House (31:42-32:54)

• Refers to Lea Michele’s accidental confession at the Met Gala (“I’m living in your house!”) and a running joke about being houseguests.

Tone and Takeaways

The episode maintains the “Ride” signature: irreverent, wildly tangential, and inside-joke-laden, blending bits of absurd cultural observation with lovingly exaggerated camaraderie. It’s half a language lesson, half a fan club meeting—you’re invited in, but you’d best keep up.

Final Thought:
This episode is a must-listen for the Baroni-in-training or anyone curious about how a podcast develops its own “language.” It sets the stage for the rest of the series and primes listeners for an even deeper initiation in part two.

Transcript

[A]

The following podcast is a Dear Media production. Hey, can you come pick me up? Yeah.

[B]

What's wrong?

[A]

Nothing.

[B]

Are you sure?

[A]

Yeah, no, I just need a ride. I just want to have fun.

[B]

Start your engines.

[C]

I'm Benito Skinner.

[A]

I'm Mary Beth Barone.

[B]

And this is.

[A]

Come on.

[C]

We're not talking about that on here, but also just.

[B]

Welcome to the encyclopedias.

[A]

Welcome to the encyclopedias. We're recording, so the bulk of this episode is going to be something we recorded a couple of years ago when we wanted to just have a resource. We're excited in a lot of ways of just, like, what the things we say mean because it's so much brain rot. So we did two episodes. We thought it would fit in one, but it ended up being two episodes. Encyclopedia of Ride Part 1 and Encyclopedia of Ride Part 2. I'm sure our voices sound a little different. We've matured. We've had a coming of age since then. And we recorded those in Texas, if I recall correctly, in Austin, Texas. Yeah, it's a rerun, but hopefully you'll enjoy the walk down memory lane. And things that, like, maybe you even forgot about.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And things we've even forgot about.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And maybe things that we haven't brought up in a long time. But if you're kind of starting from the beginning, I think it probably would be helpful.

[A]

Oh, a new era. I want to announce just before the end of the year as we look into 2026 and we're thinking about interactions with people. What I'm going to do this year is I'm going to go, if someone says something to me that's completely out of pocket, I'm gonna go, why would you say that to me?

[C]

No. Oh, my God. I have chills. You know that I did that this week.

[A]

I know. Sometimes you don't know that. Before I fall asleep, I'm rerunning all of the things that we've said to each other.

[C]

Good.

[A]

That day, week, month, year.

[B]

Wait, me too.

[A]

And I thought about you saying that to someone, and I thought, we need to be reacting like, you know how.

[B]

Not me that is.

[C]

I know it was shocking, but I.

[A]

Just had to be able to get away with anything. You know what?

[B]

Everything I had walked 20 blocks and I felt incredible, and I was blasting Sky Ferreira and I was just like, you've ruined that for me. So I have to bring this up. Like, this is insane behavior.

[A]

Yeah, it was great.

[B]

I felt really powerful.

[A]

Someone said something and you just go. Also, there was interaction I had this year where I Just wish I had called out in the moment what was happening instead of thinking about it and it weighing on my soul and spirit for months to come.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And I just wish I said, like, you're being weird to me right now, and I don't know why I'm gonna leave, but, like, it's weird and you're making me feel weird and you're making me feel bad about myself.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I would go through a breakup and then have interactions with people after, and you'll find that pretty consistently you want to go. The is going on right now.

[A]

What's happen.

[C]

Hey, the fuck is going on?

[A]

So that's maybe something you're gonna hear a little more.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

In.

[B]

That's on its way. Duddy is obviously not included in this, but.

[A]

Of course. Or this chick woke up in my house.

[C]

Can I just say thank you?

[B]

Duddy appreciates all the love, all the support. She's going hog wild.

[A]

Aspire to inspire.

[C]

Yeah. But, yeah, obviously. Come on.

[B]

Comeplunk isn't in this. If you don't know what that means, it doesn't mean anything. It just was inspired by someone taking a. And I said that toxic positivity. I would say radical honesty.

[C]

Say it about anything.

[A]

20, 26. Yeah. Maybe that means narrating your friend taking a shit in front of you.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

So enjoy the Encyclopedia of Ride. And all I can say is, wait, where are we going?

[B]

Who cares?

[C]

Ride.

[A]

First there was Galileo, then there was Plato, then there was Shakespeare, and then there was Ride the pod.

[C]

Whoa. So we've come to. We've come to an interesting crossroads. We know that there have been a lot of episodes of this fabulous show. I mean, what a year, kid.

[A]

It's been an amazing year. And so much of that is due to our incredible listeners, the Baronis, who we love so much and we're so thankful for every day. We are truly grateful. Every single day.

[C]

Oh, every single. It's the first thing. It's what I pray to every night.

[A]

Every night. And since we have this growing family, I mean, we have more kids than ever, we decided that it might be good, per Marshall's suggestion, to have an episode where we go through all the terminology and inside jokes that we have on this podcast just in case anybody does want to start in the middle, which we don't advise. We think it's really, really dangerous because.

[C]

We knew how this will end once we started. Like, it's very fuck you, jk, but it's very Harry Potter.

[A]

Oh, yeah. We have the full arc sort of planned out Pretty.

[C]

I think she lied about that too.

[A]

She lied about a lot of stuff.

[C]

Oh, you saw the ends.

[A]

Yeah, I see your end, sister.

[C]

You knew Order of the Phoenix was gonna be that bad? Yeah, Joe, I'm giving you notes now.

[A]

I stopped in the middle of book three and that's how big of an ally I am to the trans community. Seriously, I stopped reading the middle of book three. So you, JK is actually a good place to start.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And Turf Hogwarts.

[C]

Oh, my God.

[B]

Turf Hogwarts.

[A]

So this is the Encyclopedia of Ride.

[C]

Welcome to the Encyclopedia of Ride. We're assuming only straight guys are listening to this, so. Hey.

[A]

Welcome. Water's warm.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

What's that?

[C]

Yeah, wait. Okay. So what this episode will be is just. We're going to say as many. And I know we're going to forget some stuff, so we can always do another one of these.

[A]

We'll do a part two, but maybe.

[C]

Some things it's good to just have for us. Do you know what I mean? Yeah.

[A]

Just for the lifers. So Terf Hogwarts came out of a reference to jk. Obviously we don't support JK and her beliefs about anything really. I mean, I don't know what else she believes in, but I know that I don't agree.

[C]

If this is her hot take on the trans community, then I'm good.

[A]

I'm good on the rest of it.

[C]

So I'm checking out of Nocturn Alley, whatever the fuck it is.

[A]

So now we call it Turf Hogwarts. And you like to say. Not to bring up Terf Hogwarts, but. So that's how you can use it in a sentence. And we'll give those examples for each thing.

[C]

Yeah. If I'm going to bring up Harry Potter, which obviously it's a huge part of culture. There's no denying that. It's just important to say, not to bring up Turf Hogwarts, but because I'm not condoning. Ms. Joe. I know you're listening. Joe.

[A]

And Joe is actually the opposite of our next term, which is Taika.

[C]

Taika. Taika Waititi Peika is one of the originals. Taika. I guess we should maybe start with phaita. And then it turned into Taika. So phaita. It started with us saying Feita, the good fighter. I am Feita the good. Phaita. Phaita came from. Actually this is a lot of origin. This is kind of Latin. So I don't know if anyone's taken Latin. This is going to be our Latin episode.

[A]

It's etymology.

[C]

Yes. I kept saying, I'm fighting the good fight. I will fight the good fight. And then for some reason, with how my mouth was moving, I just started saying, I will fight the good fighter. And it. It still hits today as it passes.

[A]

It hits today. It took me a second to sort of like, understand. It grew on me. No, I know, because at first I was skeptical, but then you were scared. There was one time that I heard it where I go, oh, okay, that makes sense.

[C]

Yeah. You went, oh, my God.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[C]

What a mind.

[A]

What a mind. This happens all the time. So from faita, we then move into taika.

[C]

Taika. So I started saying, I will bite to the good fighter. I will beipa the good bait. I will dake it. They get daika. And then I said, I will take it. Waititi. So taika.

[A]

It's an adjective.

[C]

Oh, my God. It's an adjective.

[A]

Taika is an adjective. If you've been to ride live. We go through it in depth. But basically, taika, it's. It's irreverent, it's playful. It's not always good.

[C]

No.

[A]

And it's subjective. Yeah. So taika just means like something's taika. I don't know. It's like you just can tell when it isn't. When it isn't.

[C]

You can just tell. Like, it's just like so obvious.

[A]

Things that are taika. The Heptapods. Gender neutral bathrooms.

[C]

Yep.

[A]

The Soho House. Do you see? It's just.

[C]

No. It can be like, totally.

[A]

It's just a lot of things. It's everything everywhere all at once.

[C]

It's really hard to explain, but, like, when you get it, you get it. So we're just not going to say more than that. It's like, that's so taika.

[A]

That's so taika. So think about it.

[C]

And when we say, were you scared? I was really scared. Is from America's Next Top Model.

[A]

Yeah. That is a Tyra Banks quote.

[C]

Yeah. So that's also a part of the encyclopedia as well.

[A]

I think that's cheating is important to bring up. So this was a ride that you did?

[C]

Yes. So this was from the New rules of cheating, dated back a couple months. I'm not sure which book this was from, but probably Genesis.

[A]

Probably. If I know you, it's Genesis.

[C]

Genesis. So I'm sure a lot of the straight men listening, this is probably the point where their ears are perking up because they've heard this a lot from their lovers. I describe the new rules of cheating which it's not exactly what you think it is. It's not just your classic sexual infidelity.

[A]

Or in fact it's anything but.

[C]

It's everything except I would say that's just the tip of the iceberg for cheating all the things below the waterline. That's what I'm talking about. So if you've ever had an ex, that's cheating on your current partner. If you've had sex before, also cheating. If you're going to dinner with someone from your past that knew your exes cheating. So you know, you see, there are just so many ways to betray your partner. And I really wanted to alert the.

[A]

Masses to this and let them know that you could be getting a lot more gifts out of your partner's.

[C]

A lot more gifts. And you yourself might be a rampant cheater.

[A]

That's so true. Look inward.

[C]

He knows I'm unfaithful. And it kills him inside to know that I am happy with some of the guy. I can see him crying. So that's unfaithful by reading. See an audio jungle that gets us into our next bit which is Audio Jungle. Which Mary Beth is the woman who says audio Jungle on the royalty free music library website. Audiojungle.

[A]

Audiojungle.net that's like.

[C]

We're not going to explain that.

[A]

No, it's just like sometimes you're just talking and it's like audio Jungle.

[C]

Or if you're singing something, it's like I don't own the rights and I don't want people to think we've licensed these songs.

[A]

We haven't.

[C]

We're not going to take that on. So we have to say Audio Jungle.

[A]

Audio Jungle.

[B]

Looks like it's daddy daughter time. I'm doing the ads alone this week. Mary Beth somehow someway got me to do these alone.

[C]

Usually I make her do them alone.

[B]

Because men get paid less on the dollar. Okay, so let's get to it. Bonza. Should I be so insane in these?

[C]

Maybe I should.

[B]

It's so early and I'm in a hotel. I love you all so much. So Bonza. Oh, Bonza is this thing.

[C]

They've got this new brown rice pasta.

[B]

It's better than any other gluten free pasta on the market. And I really believe that I'm on a gluten free journey right now for my skin. Really no other reason. And it's kind of working. I hate to say it but Bonza. It's not that gluten free pasta where it kind of like is like Mush. You know what I mean? It's like sponge. It's not that.

[C]

So it's a gluten free pasta that.

[B]

Tastes just like the real thing. Oh my God, it's so good. And no more mushy gluten free pasta. It holds up beautifully as leftovers reheated or if you need to meal prep. I love when guys say that they're meal prepping. Like that's just. That's amazing. Like to think that far ahead. It's made in Italy.

Oh, my God, my pussy. Pushy is pretty straightforward. It's just another word for.

[C]

Oh, straight guys driving right now. And they're. They're Ford Broncos. They're so relieved. They're like, what? Okay, good. I just want.

[A]

I can wrap my mind.

[C]

Yeah. They're like, I've been having a lot of interesting sex lately with my girls.

[A]

Yeah. Oh, my God, you're fudging me.

[C]

I did that every morning. That's how I woke up. That's what Mary Beth and Edward awoke to in the Seattle shows for the Portland shows. Edward, one morning, it was silent in the room, and he goes, honey, can you do it? Oh, my God, you're fagging my fatty.

[A]

He loves it.

[C]

Yeah, he does. And he loves my.

[A]

Edward.

[B]

You.

[A]

It's also cohesive. Like, I can just move through these. So.

[C]

No. And you are. But you are the queen of transitions.

[A]

I'm the queen of Segways.

[C]

It's gorgeous.

[A]

And you're the king of Halloween.

[C]

Thank you. You is as easy to get as apple pie on a Sunday morning.

[A]

It's as easy to get as apple pie on a Sunday morning.

[C]

We know you could. So it's just. It's classic. It's so friendly and fun. You can say it to anyone. Like if they're just kind of being.

[A]

Like a little stinker toy, I would say you. And it's celebratory. It's not actually like angry.

[C]

No. Cuz that'd be like.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Which is like. If someone like cuts you off or something.

[A]

Yeah. It's different. This is like you.

[C]

Oh, you fucker. Fucker. You point. And it's like, it's very like giving a guy shit because he hasn't proposed. So I'm sure A lot of you have heard this. Who's the guys, the straight guys listening. Fucker, come on, put a rock on her finger.

[A]

Then Fucker Jones is sort of like. What do they call it? It's not a reboot. It's like a spin off. It's a spin off of Fucker.

[C]

It's a retelling.

[A]

It's a retelling. So we were in the green room at the Denver show.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And the person who was helping us communicate with the venue. Yeah, we were in there. We were in the green room alone. And you said we were. Because the show's supposed to start soon. You said, what'd you say?

[C]

I said, where's Fucker Jones? I will just set the scene for you guys. Mary Beth is always sitting and cold before the shows and she's quiet and I like need to rev myself up for the show. So I'm like dancing around her. I am tucking. Ultimately, you are a lot fun.

[A]

But you said, where's Fucker Jones? As I was already walking over to the door, because I thought that maybe he was going to come soon.

[C]

Because you go, what time are we going to go on stage?

[A]

And then you said, where's Jones? And I laughed and I said, haha. Where's Jones? As I say that, I open the door, he's standing right there.

[C]

Miles.

[A]

Miles, we love you Miles in Denver.

[C]

We love you.

[A]

That's Jones.

[C]

That's. Love you, kid.

[A]

Love you kid. I mean, you have to get in a lobby.

[C]

Love you, cad. So love you kid is if you say something to your partner, like, you're like, oh, hey, did you have a chance to do that? And they're kind of in a bad mood and they're like, no, I didn't, you know, like, whatever. And you're like, love you, cat.

[A]

Love you, cat. You didn't book those flights yet. Love your.

[C]

Hey, did you get a chance to like, text your mom and ask her what time, like, she's coming? No.

[A]

No.

[C]

Love you, cad.

[A]

Love you could. And that kind of gets into its counterpart. Love you, sweat.

[C]

Love you sweat is. Yeah, it's the same thing. If your partner or someone says like something shitty to you.

[A]

Oh, really?

[C]

Love you, sweat.

[A]

Oh, I thought it was more earnest. I'm learning new things.

[C]

It's a little both. I would say. You could do it either way. And you could do that with lovey kid too. Like if you love someone so much you kind of really. You like, kind of get rid of your jaw and you go, loveykid. And you kinda hold Your face like this. It's very ribbit.

[A]

It's ribbit. Which we can get into.

[C]

You have to take us through ribbit.

[A]

So we were at my parents house and we were brushing our teeth. We'd just gone to a chili cook off and we were talking about.

[C]

They're so confused by.

[A]

They were.

[C]

We were setting the scene in that way. Oh, yeah, I get it. You're brushing your teeth after a chili cook off. I can see. I can see it now.

[A]

Which I can see it now is when you are describing something and you just want to make it a little bit more cinematic and you say, I can see now.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So we were brushing our teeth after the chili cook off. I can see it now. And we were just having a giggle and we talked about Rabbit girl, who is this Internet sensation who dresses as a frog, she cosplays as a frog and she says, cute.

[C]

I'm not cute.

[A]

I mean, my parents say I'm cute, but I never really heard it from anyone else. Thanks, I guess.

[C]

Thanks, I guess.

[A]

But she often will say, she'll start an end video saying. So then the Wonka trailer had come out and you were doing some Timothee Chalamet impressions and you said, oh, my.

[C]

God, quiet up and listen down. Don't scratch that.

[B]

Reverse it.

[C]

Rip it.

[A]

And then we laughed at the level of Internet literacy you would need to have to understand those references. And we decided that anyone who could understand that reference without it being explained to them should be in a mental institution.

[C]

Yeah. And should come to Ride Live.

[A]

You're too online, but come to Ride Live.

[C]

And if you're listening to this, you either are that person or you're dating that person. Congratulations. You're a winner, baby.

[A]

Congratulations. Well, I guess on the topic of winners, we can get into the Faboo Awards. It's just, it's a concept. The Fabu and the Best Day of the Year awards.

[C]

It's just like an award show that we made up. But it's like some people are bestie of the year. Like, Mary Beth is my bestie of the year. She beat Stassi, baby. Who's Kylie Jenner's best friend? Shout out Stassi. We love you, doll. But we had to take the crown. Mary Beth had to do it on him, so she did.

[A]

I had to. And you know what? Stassi was so nice about it.

[C]

Yeah, she's a total doll around.

[A]

Awards season is when it's the Oscars, the Globes, Bestie of the Year, and then the Fabu Awards. Which is just another award show that we made up for fabulous people. But they don't have the faboo awards in England.

[C]

Oh, of course not. It's just the Brits.

[A]

The Brits. Yeah, the Brits. Just the Brits.

[C]

The baftas, I would say. But also there is the Worsty awards. So anyone who's being a worstie, you know, they're probably nominated.

[A]

They are.

[C]

You know, they might take the crown.

[A]

We know Republic Records got nominated for a worstie the year that Hailee Steinfeld single came out. Commented on her Instagram about it and she said, are you going to post about it?

[C]

And we think about that every single day of our lives.

[A]

Every day of our lives.

[C]

Because what that taught us is that you can call people out.

[A]

You can and you should.

[C]

You can take on Big Pharma.

[A]

You can call them out. You can take on Big Pharma.

[C]

You can, you can take on Big Pharma.

[A]

And you know what? You can. Also. I'm trying to think of a good segue.

[C]

Your segues are insane.

[A]

Today we're having fun.

[C]

They're incredible.

[B]

Neutrophone, baby, you got that forehead hair looks so good. Yeah, that's free Neutrophil. You can have that. Well, I guess you paid for the.

[C]

Ad, so here's the thing. Oh, I just made myself laugh. Love thyself.

[B]

Here's my thing. The holidays can get busy and overwhelming quickly. Thoughtful gifts that encourage slowing down and prioritizing self care always stand out with Nutrafol. Give the gift of stronger and better, faster growing hair. Should I do this to my dad and just completely like, just obliterate him? I think I should. I think he'd be down. So this holiday season, Neutrophil is the perfect gift for anyone on your list. Neutrophil is the number one dermatologist recommended hair growth supplement brand trusted by over one and a half million people. And can I just say, this weekend Mary Beth and I were at a cocktail bar and Sebastian Stan walked in. Let me tell you about that bull head, head of hair.

[C]

He had.

[B]

Thick, strong and it was fast growing. I could tell with less shedding in just three to six months. That's the Nutrafol promise that I always keep talking about, especially at parties with people I've just met. Give the gift of confidence this holiday season with Nutrafol and teach your family or friends a lesson, whether you're treating yourself or someone on your list visibly healthier. Thicker hair is the gift that keeps on giving. Right now, Nutrafol is offering Our listeners. My listeners. Because I built this from the ground up by myself. I'll just say it. $10 off your first month subscription, plus free shipping. When you go to Nutrafol.com and use promo code RIDE, that's Nutrafol.com promo code RIDE for $10 off. God, my hair's thick. It's dawning on me that my voice might be nasally today, but maybe it's cutie. I don't know. So here's the thing. I'm going to talk about Jones Road from Ms. Bobby Brown. She's so goated, but I use the miracle balm. It's kind of this like delicious, kind of like bronzy blush hybrid. I would say I put a little bit of that on my cheeky. Since the girls go wild. I look sunkissed. I look like boy next door. I look a little flush, like maybe I just got up to something crazy. It's really cute and it's kind of like all I've been doing lately. It just put a little bit on my cheeks. Here's the thing. Holiday events and parties are about to be in full swing. And I think you're probably already experiencing a lot of that right now. And getting ready always feels like such a hassle. Too much makeup, too many steps, and never enough time. It doesn't look natural, feels like a mask, feels heavy. You're unsure of the best way to do makeup. It never looks good. Jones Road is a minimalist makeup brand founded by makeup artist Bobby Brown Goated that creates versatile and easy to use products that simplify your routine. Every formula is packed with clean skin, skin loving ingredients. And starting November 6th, Jones Road is launching their most giftable and exclusive holiday collection yet. All five limited edition kits in the collection are trios that include new holiday shades, products and packaging. Their best seller is Miracle Bomb, which Benny Drama uses in this holiday season. Simplify your routine with makeup that's clean, strategic and multifunctional. And don't miss out on their limited edition holiday sets. They won't be here for long.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

And once they're gone, gone, they're gone. Also, as a treat for my listeners, you'll get a free cool gloss on your first purchase. When you use Code Ride at checkout, just head to jonesroad.com and use code Ride at checkout. After you purchase, they will ask you where you heard about them. I think you know where from. Benny Drama, not Mary Beth. Please support our show and tell them our show sent you.

[A]

So from. Are you gonna post about It I think it's only natural to get into. There are easier ways to tell me you listen to Ride. Because sometimes people will do and post things or they'll say things. They'll be quoted as saying something that is just so ride. It's so Ride Coded or Ride Heritage, which is sort of another thing that we can get into. But it's basically like sometimes, like, okay, let's say like CVS has a Ferrero Rocher display. It's like there's easier ways to tell me you listen to Ride.

[C]

Exactly. It's almost like starting to be too much at this point. I know we did an episode on Bob's Fuck Ass.

[B]

Bob's.

[C]

So it's like anyone who has a Bob, it's like, well, there are easier ways to tell me. You listen to Ride.

[A]

There's easier ways. And my mom sent me some screenshots. She was watching the Beanie Baby documentary, and this woman is being interviewed and she says it's all about family. And then her kids go, ribbit, ribbit. Because they're playing with the frog Beanie Baby. And my mom goes, there's easier ways to tell us he listened to Ry.

[C]

If you're gonna do the ultimate Ribbit challenge, I mean, come on.

[A]

I mean, come on.

[C]

It's written all over your lips.

[A]

And then of course, we get into Ride Heritage. So Ride Heritage is when we have an episode that's just like encapsulates everything that ride is about. And it comes from this quote by a soccer and or football coach, depending where you live, about soccer heritage and or football heritage. So we've made it our own with Ride Heritage. And some episodes just are Ride Heritage. And we don't know before going into it, but they just become Ride Heritage.

[C]

They become Ride Heritage. I will say the Baronies, which is the name of people who listen to and for anyone who doesn't understand that, of why it's Barone. Because that's just Mary Beth Brown. They're like, how am I in that?

[A]

Because your family.

[C]

Yeah, because I'm family. And if we got married, I would obviously take Mary Beth's last name so our kids would be the brony.

[A]

The Bronies.

[C]

100% pretty obvious. I don't think it's that heady. I don't think I should have had to explain that. Thank you very much.

[A]

Edward's going to take my name too.

[C]

Which gets me into Nina.

[A]

Nina.

[C]

So I had a Sex Bots video sketch where I essentially took a bunch of these Sex Bot comments and brought them to life via a character. I wanted to humanize these bot comments, and it turned into this, I would say, fabulous character.

[A]

Nina Drama, One of my favorites, really.

[C]

She definitely pops up. I will say she is the voice in my head a lot of the time if I want to say something on Ride. Sometimes Nina, she takes over.

[A]

She speaks.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And it's nice to have an alter ego you can tap into.

[C]

Of course. We all deserve that.

[A]

One of your other alter egos, I would say, is you doing a jazz standard of welcome to My Island. Charlie's verse.

[C]

Yes. There's a song called welcome to My island by Caroline Polachek. Charli XCX remixed it with George Daniel, her lover. And so I started to do kind of a jazz standard version of her remix. So there's a lot of layers there as well.

[A]

There's a lot of layers. And that gets into. You have to know Taylor Swift and Katy Perry lyrics because sometimes you'll say something or I'll say something where it just either quotes partially a Taylor Swift lyric accidentally, and then we'll just get into the song. So it's like you kind of just have to know those things. You have to know both of their discographies. Because sometimes we'll just say, like, swish, swish, bish. Actually, sometimes we'll just say another one in the casket.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

If you don't know that song by Katy Perry. Swish, swish.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

You're going to be totally lost.

[C]

Will you be my witness? Katy Perry?

[A]

Katy Perry.

[C]

Best believe I'm still bejeweled Baby love I think I've been a little too kind I would say bejeweled. Start with bejeweled. If you're gonna start with Bejeweled, Bejeweled and Mastermind.

[A]

And then, of course, enunciate the words.

[C]

Oh, my God.

[A]

This is a quote from Katie on Idol.

[C]

Katy Perry is a judge on American Idol. And there was this singer who she walked in like a bat out of hell and she said, Oh, and Katie was there. She had full cow print outfit on. She looked fabulous. And she said, slow down. Enunciate the words.

[A]

Enunciate the words.

[C]

And the girl made it to Hollywood thanks to Katy Perry's notes.

[A]

So I just love that.

[C]

Quiet down and listen up, listen up.

[A]

It's a Tiffany check. Tiffany check is when I wear my Tiffany bracelet. And it makes the most soothing sound in the world. Other than when your makeup and your makeup bag is clacking together, this is number one.

[C]

The makeup bag is 2o chills down my little spine. That feels good. That feels like a toe curling orgasm.

[A]

Get into it.

[C]

Toe curling orgasm. It's pretty simple. This podcast studio is about to blow up. We're giving it so much info.

[A]

I know. I almost think we need to do a part two.

[C]

I can't tell if the segues make it more confusing or I don't care. Literally, it's kind of an insane. It's actually so hard to understand.

[A]

I think circular, as we said.

[C]

It really is so hard. Toe curling orgasm. Mary Beth, she's living in my house. Fuck. This is so hard to do.

[A]

So Mary, living in my house right.

[C]

Now to start toe curling orgasm. I want to tell you about I'm living in your house, which is this video. And I will say, if some of these things you're not understanding, you need to follow Redpie.

[A]

Oh my God, 100%.

[C]

Because if you're not following Redfall, it's.

[A]

Gonna fill in the blanks.

[C]

You're only getting half the story.

[A]

You're only getting half the story.

[C]

So there's this video of Lea Michelle, Miss girl at the Met Gala. And she's talking to Lala Anthony, who's just absolutely incredible. She was just like, she's a star.

[A]

She's shutting it down.

[C]

She's shutting it down. And before they start the interview, Lala says, leah, I know there was something you wanted to tell me. And Lea Michele goes, well, yeah, I'm living in your house. And Lala's face, she's like, what? It's just, it's so.

[A]

It's kind of perfect television.

[C]

It's perfect.

[A]

And it plays on this other joke that we have that you'll learn more about when we do the Jennifer Lawrence carpool. But basically in the movie Mother, I won't give any spoilers, but at one point, someone's painting her house and she goes, why are you painting my house? So it's actually like a double whammy, that one. So when I stay at your house now, I say, I'm living at your house and I'm living in your house.

[C]

And when Mary Beth is living in my house, I like to knock on the door, the guest room in the morning and she says, how'd you sleep? And I said, I had the most toe curling orgasm last night. And it's just as simple as that.

[A]

It's crass.

[C]

It's crass. It's really crass.

[A]

But we love it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Okay, so what we're finding right now is that we actually have a lot more to do. So we're gonna do a part two of this that will come out next. So we hope that you listened to this and had it. A toe curl.

[C]

Oh, God. But I will say, listen back to this from the top just so that you. You get it.

[A]

I would listen to part two. When you listen to part two, you're saying, just listen to this one again.

[C]

Do it again. Just. We have this. You can always come back to it.

[A]

Cite your sources, bibliography. We're excited. This is what we're doing. Thanks, guys. We'll see you next week for part two of the Encyclopedia of Ride.

[C]

I can see it now. Oh, my.

[B]

Exit.
