Episode Tone & Character

Playful, breezy, and irreverent, but with sharp moments of real self-reflection.

Added layers include empowerment around claiming your voice, embracing the last word, and championing authentic creativity and representation over unnecessary market clutter. The result? A funny, thoughtful ride through friendship, culture, and personal agency.

[A]

Dude. Yeah.

[B]

Dream fashion purchase.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

What a perfect fucking question.

[A]

You go first.

[B]

G Wagon.

[A]

Bentley.

[B]

Are you a Bentley guy?

[A]

I'm not a car guy. I don't care about them. Dream fashion, right?

[B]

Well, yeah, I just like dream purchase. I guess.

[A]

You came with your G Wagon is.

[B]

Closed in a lot of ways.

[A]

Yeah, it's. Well, it's clothes, of course. It's. It's moving clothes.

[B]

It's moving clothes.

[A]

My dream fashion purchase for Christmas, I.

[B]

Bought myself the Louis Vuitton Murakami multicolored white speedy bag from the RealReal. That was one I had on my list for a while.

[A]

That's what we like to call a grail.

[B]

It's a grail.

[A]

And so I have a few grails, but you got me one. It was the. The Jean Paul Gaultier shirt that Robin Williams wore. Not the actual one he wore, but the, you know, the version.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Of the body shirt. So I have that. God, you know what? I feel like as far as clothes, I kind of want for nothing. I do have a closet that I really love, I guess.

[B]

Chanel flats at some point.

[A]

For me. Yeah.

[B]

For you.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Size 14.

[A]

I love the Dior Dracula bag. Like, I would love to tote that onto set and just be like, morning. Oh, and I really love this old Prada shirt that it was, like. It had Cleopatra on it, and it was like. It was called the Impossible True love shirt. And it was such a. Like, I don't know. I just. When it came out, I was like, I've. I've never wanted something more in my life, and I can't ever really find it, like, new and fresh. But I think maybe after season two, I'll. I'll find her.

[B]

There's a vintage Cavalli dress that Beyonce wore. I think it might be the actual one that she wore, but I'm not sure. That's in my obsessions on the realreal that maybe I'll splurge on this year just to wear something.

[A]

Yeah, it's. It's good to have those. Those things in the back that you're like, you know what? Maybe. Oh, God, no. There is this Dior jacket that's on the road. It was, like, from the Jack Kerouac collection, and it, like, I wore it to this event, and the back of it was, like, painted with, like, a full. Oh, my God.

[B]

It was. So why don't you keep it? Amazing. I had to give it back.

[A]

It was a really expensive jacket. But, yeah, I guess just, like, all I would say was a lot, but also none.

[B]

Were you guys born this funny or did something happen that altered your brain chemistry? That's definitely something that I address in my show, my hour.

[A]

So you have to. Yeah.

[B]

Come and see it.

[A]

I love that. You should do that for kind of all of these.

[B]

For all these.

[A]

I do address this in my hour. Of course.

[B]

I do address this famously in my hour.

[A]

I don't know if I ever felt funny. I always felt very performative and fake.

[B]

I would say a fake ass. You, not me.

[A]

Yeah, well, of course. Duh. I mean, you're so real, Paul.

[B]

Oh, there's some really good questions.

[A]

I think that I. Yeah, I. I think I. I did feel the need to overcompensate for feeling maybe unloved and unlovable in school. But mostly I got, I think, from school because I just needed to, like, have a something. I needed protection. Like, I needed to be quick on my feet.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Maybe that. Nothing from family or anything. I guess I'm like, the youngest, so the youngest just is kind of naturally, like, performative and kind of likes to be the loudest.

[B]

Yeah. I read a book on birth order, and it definitely pointed to that Yeah.

[A]

I don't remember what it was called that very that. But I don't know if that made me that funny. I guess my siblings would be like, that wasn't funny. So it's like, you know, I was testing things.

[B]

Oh. I mean, siblings, they are your harshest critics. If you think you're your harshest critic.

[A]

You don't tell that to an older brother.

[B]

You don't know what your siblings are saying when you're not in the room. Or when you are in the room.

[A]

Yeah. Or when I'm in the room with them.

[B]

But I.

[A]

With your siblings with mine.

[B]

I talked about this a little in Puerto Rico, but I think judging your siblings decisions is such a special privilege because your friends. Decisions you will judge. But you might be more similar to your friends than you would be to your siblings and the choices that you make. And I think just like, looking at your siblings and being like, oh, I would never do that.

[A]

Yeah, that's so fun.

[B]

I would never do that.

[A]

And it's like when we were raised by the same people. Funny.

[B]

Nature versus nurture in a lot of ways.

[A]

Yeah. Of course.

[B]

We are not siblings.

[A]

It's just siblings. I think it's finally time we say that on camera. We are not siblings.

[B]

How are you liking your new prescription?

[A]

Me? Yeah, it's good so far. I don't know if it's doing that much. I don't know. We'll see.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

We'll see. I mean, I just. I need to see it through. I just started, so the last thing I'm gonna do is say that. It's incredible when I just. I. I want to make sure that if I'm really advertising this, that it's a.

[B]

It works.

[A]

That doxy's a full court bucket. And I don't know about that yet, but I. I do have such an itchy nose lately. Like, it's just, like, dry up there. These allergies this winter.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

There's more for me to figure out. As far as.

[B]

Gotta be that winter air.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Gotta be that winter air. Probably in the nose.

[A]

What's the winter air?

[B]

Someone asked do Pinky identifies gender and religion and political leanings. So Pinky Cabala. Pinky is a cabalist and. Or a kabalu. And she.

[A]

She, Her.

[B]

She, her. And she's a lesbian. And I know that because she will not go near a bully stick. Bully sticks. If you don't know what that is, you can Google it.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And understand why that means. She does not.

[A]

She's not.

[B]

She actually doesn't like male dogs very much.

[A]

She loves gay men.

[B]

She loves gay men.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

She has a special relationship with my brother's dog. But I think it's like it's a situationship. It's not romantic. It's aromantic.

[A]

She's kind of a theater girl.

[B]

She is a theater girl.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And she's lesbian.

[A]

I see that for her. Yeah.

[B]

Best practices for 25 year old mindset in 2026. My thing is like back when I was 25, I think I was more shameless when it came to like calling people out over text and like saying things and not caring if I got a response. I think we need to like go back to that because I think it's just funny to send someone a text and be know you're not going to respond to this like internally. It's your internal dialogue but you just like say everything that needs to be said.

[A]

Yeah, I think that's fine.

[B]

How about we just are fearless this year.

[A]

Yeah. Let's go into it like guns blazing, ready to just light it up. Titties out. Duddy style.

[B]

Duddy. And that's on the Duddy style wwdd. What would Duddy do?

[A]

What would Duddy do? Yeah. That's so interesting. That. That sounds good to me. Ooh.

[B]

I just got a crazy question.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Favorite burner on a stove. For me it's front left. It has to be 100% front left. But in Puerto Rico I did back right.

[A]

You did do back right. Which feels so far away.

[B]

Well, it has the most heat. And I was making 27 scrambled eggs.

[A]

Oh, I loved that. Oh my God. There was this funny photo where it's Mary Beth and there's like 20 egg yolks in a pan and we were just laughing if she served that to us.

[B]

Just raw eggs in a bowl.

[A]

Gaston's breakfast.

[B]

It's a Gaston protein breakfast for my big strong boy.

[A]

That's how the boys eat. Right?

[B]

Do you, do you have advice? Do you have advice for the 25 year old mindset? I feel like I cut you off.

[A]

The 25 year old mindset. I think keep hope. Hope is dying. But think about those. Whoever that obey artist was that made that thing of Obama that said hope. I think about that poster a lot and I want it back. I want hope back. I think that you can still have it. It's harder to. Let me just say it's harder to have hope. I know you can find it. Cause that feels very 25.

[B]

We need to vote in the midterms.

[A]

We Got we're going to be there.

[B]

For a bit this year because obviously we're taking a break between seasons which is our God given right.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So I will be posting about it on my Instagram but I can't track every good candidate so it's like if we want basically we need to like elect a lot more Democrats so we can impeach Trump. So please just be so locked the fuck in we just like I know it sucks and we know way more about the political system than we ever wanted to but if we have any hope at like saving our country and like so many of the people in it.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Especially the vulnerable people.

[A]

My president, Mary Beth Barone and I salute and I.

[B]

If these walls could talk. Death Rome.

[A]

If these walls. Oh you you walking into Congress.

[B]

If these walls could talk, they'd say Paul, he's doing it.

[A]

I love you, Paul.

[B]

Did either of you ever. Oh sorry.

[A]

Death row meals first death row meal. Yeah, I really love Shake Shack.

[B]

Randomly I'd have pizza because I haven't eaten real pizza in a while and like it wouldn't matter if I got.

[A]

Yeah, because they'd elected you.

[B]

They'd be. Or injection.

[A]

I know. I just wanted to say it's the chair. They're giving her the chair. They brought back the chair for you.

Yeah, I collected Harry Potter Legos which is funny given the turf Hogwarts climate. Yeah. Young me apologizes. He would have never done that Young.

[B]

Manito Skinner issue statement.

[A]

Oh my God. Mary Beth did this thing where I was like this one person like said this thing about me and then they changed their tune and you said like Benny Drama silences critics at blank appearance. And I laughed about it for days.

[B]

I saw that headlines baby. I mean I like I would just. It was trend based like Beanie Babies. I did have a Pokemon era, I guess. Yeah, I guess Barbies, things like that. I collected American Ashley VHS movies.

[A]

So yeah, I mean we are who we are. Amen. And also McDonald's toys. If I had one. I had to have all of them.

[B]

I'm trying to think if I miss anything, but I'm sure my family will call me in.

[A]

Yeah, of course.

[B]

What's your fave pod studio you've recorded in.

[A]

I really love this one.

[B]

Melrose feels like home.

[A]

And I love the Great British Library. There's something there. There's a magic in those walls. We have good episodes there. I feel it. Because there's just something. It's like you. It's so easy to pull comedy from it, I guess, because it's just so like.

[B]

Wait, you're talking about Gotham Bank?

[A]

No, no, no. The Great British Library. Oh. Oh, yeah, yeah.

[B]

Sorry, I zoned out. Oh, diva behavior. Benito Skinner walks off set of podcast. I have a really good one. Next. Favorite time of day. Sorry if this is boring, but I'm being genuine. This is such a hard question. Holy. I don't know.

[A]

I think I do have mine.

[B]

I don't know. I love going to get coffee in the morning.

[A]

I know.

[B]

But I also love going to bed.

[A]

Oh, fuck. See, I love 11. And I love, like, 8:30. I just wait.

[B]

11? So cool. Because it's like, it's not midnight yet. Like, you can still watch an hour of Frankenstein.

[A]

Oh, I was saying 11:00am Whoa. I love 11:00am I've done the workout now. I'm on my laptop. A copy's hitting. I'm a little manic. I might shop online for 10 seconds, maybe 30 minutes, and then I write college smut.

[B]

College smut.

[A]

Text you and probably FaceTime you around that.

[B]

Speaking of smut, Noah. It just says Noah Centineo. Show me how you video.

[A]

You want to show me how you squirt? I feel bad that someone's like, private sexy stuff. If mine leaked. Oh, my God.

[B]

If these. If these.

[A]

I go like this.

[B]

If these nudes could leak. Do you think Pinky can sense paranormal activity?

[A]

You're so dumb.

[B]

Activity.

[A]

Do you think Pinky can sense paranormal activity?

[B]

No, I don't think she can. I know she can.

[A]

I know she can. It's like Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City when you watch her eyes. She's seen ghosts.

[B]

She's seen ghosts.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

If you had to be one age for the rest of your life. This is the last question. What age would you be? I think probably around where I am now because I haven't hit the aging cliff where you become old so fast, which happens in a few years from now, so I'm told through journalism, AKA an Instagram post. Yeah, I like this age. I'M like self actualized, but I still like to have fun every now and then too.

[A]

I like 32. It's really nice to say that I think this age, I feel pretty good in this age.

[B]

Maybe ask us in a few years, maybe we'll say that age.

[A]

I think so too. I mean, aging is such a privilege. Me talking to people when they say.

[B]

They got Botox, they got a new face.

[A]

Age is a privilege.

[B]

I don't think youth is wasted on the young. I think it's like, perfect. No, you're youth happens at the right time.

[A]

I completely agree.

[B]

I'm dispelling shit. Also, did you know that time does not help with grief? I feel worse. I feel so much worse. The further I get from it, the worse I feel.

[A]

I've heard that because it's like, then you start to forget and then you feel guilty and terrible about the forgetting.

[B]

And you're like, you don't have as.

[A]

Much to, like, remember.

[B]

And the absence, like, it just grows, like you feel it more and more. Because it's not like, oh, they've just been away for a minute or something. It's like, no, they're gone forever. There are a lot of these things we've been told, like, repeated, I guess, to like, help us feel better about moving through the world. But my big statements thus far in 2026, youth is not wasted on the young. Youth is perfect, and time does not help with grief.

[A]

I will say the only one that I've known to be fully true is this too shall pass. Paul said that to me on our first date.

[B]

Yeah, Paul said that on your first date. Should we get into what you ride for?

[A]

I think we should. I'm writing for making the decision to not start a business. Sorry. I have a lifesaver and it's delicious.

[B]

Wait, what is it? Making the decision to not. Is that what you said?

[A]

Making the decision to not start a business. Right, yeah.

[B]

And I'm going to do having the last word.

[A]

These women always police in men's words. What do you want us to say? Are we still allowed to speak?

[B]

How about, sorry, let's get into Venmo really quick.

[A]

Whoa. So I have been a Venmo warrior for probably 12 years. I don't even know. I've had Venmo forever, since I could walk and talk. You know, when the money in your Venmo account just kind of lurks, like it's watching the movie but not actively participating in the fun commentary the rest of us are all engaged in.

[B]

It's like Come on, Venmo balance. We. We got to do something here and fast.

[A]

Yes, exactly. That's why you got to get the Venmo debit card. I know you saw my ad. Oh, yeah.

[B]

The Venmo debit card basically invites your balance into the real world. You can use your Venmo balance when someone pays you, which is incredible for someone like me. You know, someone who doesn't want to have to remember to transfer funds or wait three days after, quote, transfer initiation has begun. I don't know, I guess I'm just kind of different like that.

You guys know what these are and you know that daddy has had them and mommy has supported him through them. That they are ego dystonic. They're not actually what you want to do. And that NOCD is an amazing place to find someone and find a licensed therapist to talk about these with because they are skilled and they have a specialty in ocd. So they're not going to run to the popo and tell them what you've been saying or that you desperately want to stab Benny. Drama in the leg. You're. Even though I know you don't. You want to hold me in your arms. So using Exposure and Response Prevention therapy, or erp, the most proven OCD treatment, your no CD therapist can help you take the power away from OCD and distressing thoughts and live face to face video therapy sessions. My therapist sometimes, like her husky would be in the background and like, I don't know, he saw my future for sure. And. Yeah. And I don't know, it's just like it was so personal. And stuff. I don't know the whole thing. I loved it all. I did it right before first season of overcompensating. So who knows? Maybe I'll do it again soon. NOCD also accepts many major insurance plans and offers always on support between sessions. To learn more about therapy with NOCD, go to nocd.com and schedule a free 15 minute call with their team. That's nocd.com to learn more and book a free 15 minute call. NOCD has partnered with us for a while. They did a lot of great things for me and some of you have messaged me about it and that you've done it. And it makes me really happy because it's doing something for yourself, which I think is really powerful. And sometimes just talking about it is like the greatest start. Just being able to be honest and open about it. It just takes away the fear and the power of them.

[B]

I get to Senorita.

[A]

Mom. That's how I start this Super Bowl. Senorita. Senor Frita. Hey, Texas Senor Frita. What do you think?

[B]

I loved it.

[A]

Okay, so senorita, this is this THC non alcoholic beverage company that has got my friend and me by the balls. It is so delicious. It is so fun and it's just so side, so cool. But yeah, here's the thing. Here's the thing about them. It's vibrant, lush, and endlessly easygoing. This is the grapefruit Paloma, which is my personal favorite.

[B]

Non alcoholic, low calorie, chill buzz, organic agave, real juice.

[A]

Fast on set.

[B]

I went to fast on set. All right. Fast on set. I went to Worcester, Massachusetts to visit my cousins and I walked in the house. This was about two weeks ago. And before I even got my shoes off, they go, well, where's the senorita? And I said, well, hello to you too.

[A]

Ask. Hey, ask. Take me on a date first, why don't you?

[B]

But I didn't bring it because we needed them for the ads today. And I knew if I brought it then they'd be gone.

[A]

Yeah, you know what? I. Sorry. There's something like if you're bringing senoritas, you're not leaving with them. Let's just say that, honey. And that's something I've always said, senoritas are delicious. It's really fun if you don't want to drink alcohol, which I feel like dry January for a lot of people. So it could be dry, but you're also having THC beverages. That feels chill to me.

[B]

Totally.

[A]

And I think there's Something about this.

[B]

This little can.

[A]

There's something.

[B]

This one little can.

[A]

This little can? Yeah. I just, like, literally every time I have them, I get kind of giggly as I am now, and they're just kind of delicious. And I love this. The flavors, they satisfy my maybe desire for the taste of an alcoholic beverage. But I don't always want. I don't always want one.

[B]

Well, you know that. That thing where it's like, what's more powerful than the sword? It's an idea. What's more powerful than an idea, Senorita?

[B]

Must be 21 plus. And then it goes without saying, Please enjoy responsibly. Wait, where are we going?

[A]

Who cares? Ride. There comes a time in every white man's life where he must look in the mirror at himself and think, I have this idea, but I'm not going to get a patent on it. I really think more white men should think about it and just say, maybe it's not for me. I recently had the idea of, like, I loved these pants, and I couldn't find them anywhere. And I was like, should I make them? And then I looked in the mirror and I thought, no, There are so many pants on earth. I don't need to contribute more pants.

[B]

You know what? I'm gonna ask you to talk about what?

[A]

I literally can't. I literally can't. I. Oh, my God. That's the problem with this podcast. We have to go out in the world and, like, people know. Yeah. I wish I could tell my kids everything. If you catch us in an airport.

[B]

Oh, the things I revealed on stage at Stand Up.

[A]

It's incredible.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

A flight attendant on Delta recently was, like, asked me a bunch of questions. I just went off.

[B]

I'll tell you anything.

[A]

I said, tip to taint. Start from the top. What do you want?

[B]

Person.

[A]

What do you want to know?

[B]

Person to person. Which is also the series finale. The name of the series finale of Mad Men. Person to person to person. I'll reveal all.

[A]

Yeah. I was, like, giving, like, full script secrets from overcompensating season two to people. I'm like, well, if it leaks, I don't know where to find you.

[B]

Yeah. Oh, and she'll be in the skies.

[A]

Well, of course. Spreading the good news. But I just think maybe there are too many businesses that exist. And I'm not talking about local artisans, mom and pop shops. I love all of those. I'm talking more just, like, specifically this type of, like, tech bro y, like, startup y kind of thing that just, like, we didn't need. You know what I mean?

[B]

I overheard someone say that was like, well, I don't think we should put the stock price in the deck. What do you think? I think we should just, like, we should. And I was just like, I'm hearing this on the phone. It's like, I'm on my way. Where's I even going this morning? I literally don't remember where I went this morning. I went to get a haircut and I was just hearing him talking, and I was like, I hope your business is, like, helping reduce carbon emissions or something. But it's probably not.

[A]

No, it's not.

[B]

You know my point?

[A]

I'm sure it's making more.

[B]

I know we have way too many businesses because as I've stated before, on the subway, they advertise B2B business to business. Like, they're advertising, like, HR platforms on the subway. It's like, there should not be enough people that would need that on the subway. You should not feel like that's useful marketing that should be in, like, a newsletter for, like, virgins.

[A]

But there are. For virgins. Exactly. Here's the thing. I just think, like, I ride for this because it is a choice, and we all have to realize that. And I'm not saying, like, everybody's business is bad. Like, I, I. A lot of them, I'm like, hell, yeah. That's. Some are totally necessary, Some are totally necessary, and some are totally fabulous. I just think. Think about if it really is needed.

[B]

If we need it, or if your expertise could be used on something that we already have that could improve, like.

[A]

Benny Drama's pleated pant. I don't know if we need that business, but maybe some of you. I mean, I'm looking at Paul right now, and he's kind of like, shit, I'd pre order.

[B]

Well, we're not. We're not saying either that we would never do a collab in the future, but I think starting a business, my thing, when I get into thinking about it, even with Merch, which I'm launching tour merch, and I'm like, I just don't want to be creating waste.

[A]

And I think, like, you're so Cruella. When merch samples come in, you're like, hack it in the middle. Cut off the sleeve. The neck's too wide. A knee to darling. Those puppies. That bullshit nanny. She gave those puppies away.

[B]

Manager quick. She was. She was a house manager. But I just think as your footprint grows, you know, as an entity, I think you will be probably approached to, like, launch a skincare. Launch makeup, or launch this stuff.

[A]

I'm like, I would just skincare with someone.

[B]

I want to stay.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And I like it.

[A]

I would amplify also people. It's like, I'm. I'm a writer, actor, comedian, mostly hyphenate. Like, that's what I do. Like, that's me. Like, that's what I do. That's my lane. So if it was something skincare, I would do, like a collab with someone, but I would never start my own. I don't have. I'm like, no, no, no. Leave it to the professionals. It's like makeup brands. I'm like, leave it to the makeup artist.

[B]

So much of that stuff is, like, white label. And so they're just. It's the same stuff you could buy from other brands. It just has their name on it.

[A]

Bullshit.

[B]

Well, I wanted to find this quote about. And I've already talked about Miley Cyrus talking about why she didn't start a business, and she's just like, it's just, I'm not passionate about these things. Like, I just find it hard to believe that everyone that's launched a makeup brand, it's because they're, like, super passionate about, like, filling a space in the market that's not currently being served. Because what you're doing is like, maybe you're creating jobs, but, like, you're also creating so much waste.

[A]

I know, and it's like, yeah, I think that's my one. That's one tricky part of this caveat. It's like, obviously I want, I want jobs. I want, you know, I want people to be able to afford their lives and their wants and needs. But yeah, it's just, I guess it's specifically straight white men coming up with some bullshit. I don't need you. I don't need your bullshit.

[B]

Hey, we have enough of it. We've gotten.

[A]

The world was literally built and made for you. I know you can find a job.

[B]

Elsewhere, please, or live off your parents.

[A]

Money, but I guess if it does consume their day so that they don't hit you, I'm like, maybe I want them to work on the deck. It's just hard. I guess you're finding me. I'm trying to find the image in here.

[B]

Life a give and take.

[A]

But I just, I ride that. I can look in the mirror and know that like, it's just not for me. I'm not starting a business.

[B]

You are not going to be putting together financial assessments of anything.

[A]

Nah.

[B]

Or approving them.

[A]

No. It's not looking good. No.

[B]

I think it's big of you. It's hubris.

[A]

You think so?

[B]

I think it's hubris.

[A]

It's crazy to have last name Skinner and not do anything in the skincare industry.

[B]

But I think like you found what you want to do and you're doing it.

[A]

Yeah. Production companies don't count. I already asked.

[B]

No, of course, of course. Production companies, that's like different. I mean we're being creative and like we're telling. We're storytellers.

[A]

Yeah, exactly. And that's my job. I'm like, I. It's like, leave it to the pros, my good sis, and let them shine. That too.

[B]

I find it odd too when I'm thinking like some of these people that are starting companies, I'm like, but do you use the product?

[A]

Well? I'm just like, if you're truly passionate about it, I. You can feel that. But like some people, I'm just like, oh, you just came. Like you just thought of a product and then found like a random manufacturer. And now it's like, yeah, there was this one dancer who dances for the Moulin Rouge who I'm obsessed with on Tick Tock and she has this company that's like, it's essentially like a. Some kind of like cool down or like warm up garment. It's kind of like big overalls that you would like wear. And so I'M like, that is, like, specific. There's something about that that feels. I don't know. When they come from women, I love it.

[B]

You know what is a need, I think, that I have heard is not being filled is underwear for trans people.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

Like, specific to trans people's needs. And so I would say if there's someone that is really passionate about that, that wants to actually solve a problem that we have currently.

[A]

Yeah. In the market. In the market. Yeah.

[B]

Letter rip. Absolutely. Absolutely.

[A]

Yeah. That's. Hey, please. Hey.

[B]

The need is there. The market's there. Let's make it happen.

[A]

Another company where it's like a. A guy. The white T shirt needed a little refresh. No, it didn't.

[B]

Hey, you found your sparkle. You found your sparkle again.

[A]

Really?

[B]

Yeah, I just saw it.

[A]

That's so crazy.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I just got chills.

[B]

I just watched it.

[A]

But you know what I mean, the white T shirt never really sat well with me. I'm like, oh, yeah, it didn't. It's that it's like tank top brands. It's like, God, it's fucking crazy. And like, oh, my God. A company that I'm like, hell, yeah. Is the one saving face. Nurse practitioner. She started it because she couldn't find this thing in the market that's so beautiful. Women. I want more women companies. I don't need any more.

[B]

More women and more LGBTQ owned properties.

[A]

1000%. I would love that. I want us tone. Everything.

[B]

Rich texted us because his friend has a apartment in Toronto.

[A]

This is.

[B]

I'm gonna quote myself here.

[A]

Okay, here's the thing. This thing happens sometimes where someone. I'm in a thread with Mary Beth, and I'm just. I am waiting. I'm just sitting there looking at the bubbles, waiting for my girl to drop a bomb. Like, I know she's. I'm like, I know she's percolating. She just got to her laptop.

[B]

I was getting my hair done. I had to pee. And then I was ready to.

[A]

This is a perfect response. Go. You have to say, it's so fudgeing good. Yeah.

[B]

All the actors know where we're living in Toronto. We already know. At least I do. So I do. He sends this link, which is a beautiful apartment, and he was like, yeah, I just thought I'd offer it to all you guys just to help my friend out. I said, yes. Spread the word. I also own many properties in major cities. It's a hassle.

[A]

It's like a whole. It's a whole rigmarole. Sucks.

[B]

I'M sorry. Like, it's such a pain. And that's what they don't tell you about owning property.

[A]

It's something about straight guys. They just have stuff like that where they're like, I have this apartment, apartment in Toronto I gotta rent out. It's like, you have what?

[B]

Wait, why?

[A]

Wait, why'd you get that? Why do you have that?

[B]

Why?

[A]

[A]

A new documentary film from Paris Hilton. I've loved music ever since I was a little girl.

[B]

What's your name again? I think when people would see me.

[A]

Out at night, night, they just saw this carefree girl. I knew somewhere deep down that if I listened to all those hateful comments out there in the world, that I would never recover.

[B]

So I decided to own the narrative.

[A]

Paris Hilton's Infinite Icon, a visual memoir playing Only in theaters January 30th. Get your tickets now.

[B]

Speaking of shutting down, group chats sort of gets into what I ride for.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So I ride for having the Last Word. I was doing a lot of reflecting and you have.

[A]

You have it, babe.

[B]

I think I do as well. I think if I do another comedy special, God willing, knock on wood, I would call it the Last. Or I guess maybe my last special would be called the Last Word. So maybe the next one, who knows, you know, I'm not sure.

[A]

Such a good point.

[B]

Such a good point. So I was trying to figure out why I like to bring up people's Comments on the podcast and, and, and speak to them and respond to them. And I think it's because I really like having the last word.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And it just feels like if I bring it up on here and we could speak direct directly to it to like the most number of people, then that's me like saying, well, that's the period at the end of that interaction.

[A]

Yeah, of course.

[B]

My aunt, my aunt Vicky, she used to live in upstate Connecticut and sometimes she would have to do business in Stanford, which is where I grew up. And so I had a room with two beds, obviously. Cause I'm a little. I was a princess, but not in the way that like everyone thinks.

[A]

You know what? Princess doesn't always have to be bad.

[B]

No, it doesn't. It's a princess Pesa. I had a princess bed and then I had a queen size bed. And so when my aunt Vicky would come to do business in Stanford, she. Wait, interesting. Princess and queen. I just thought of that.

[A]

You understand that?

[B]

I just. That's really cool.

[A]

Something very like. Yeah.

[B]

So when she would come and stay at our house, she would stay in my room in the bigger bed, and we would talk at night, you know, a little pillow talk. It was so fun. And she taught me what the last word was. Because sometimes you're having a sleepover with someone and you're like, okay, I actually like kind of legally need to go to bed now. You just say last word.

[A]

Oh, see, immediately in my body I go, midnight. No, you can't.

[B]

You have to respect the sanctity of last words.

[A]

Yeah, I guess so.

[B]

I think. And you know, that concept is so powerful to me. It's just like having a last word. That's the end of conversation, end of story. And I do think that maybe contributes to loving this, maybe contributes to that mentality of like, I like being a standup. I like saying what I want to say and how I feel and these things that I feel I really need to say. And the response is like, it's laughing. It's not like you can't argue.

[A]

This is so fabulous. Sometimes I feel like I've gone. Maybe I'm. I. I think I'm more on the last word than I used to be. I used to not really say anything, but now I'm kind of like, no.

[B]

I've watched you actually.

[A]

Really? What do you think?

[B]

I just see the way you move in business lately, and I just think it's like, well, we're gonna do it this way. What I want to do.

[A]

Less apologetic. I think I think it's something of, you know, again, these. I. I've been trying to adapt this straight male mentality where they're just kind of like, no, this is it. And I'm like, I don't think you'd question this room as much if we were straight dudes.

[B]

I said no to two things this year already.

[A]

That's amazing.

[B]

Like, someone tried to move a meeting, and when they wanted to move it to, I just. I couldn't do it. And instead of bending over backwards and, like, doing gymnastics to try to make it work, I was just like, I actually have to keep the original time. I'm so sorry.

[A]

And I'm finding that, like, people don't really. They're like, oh, yeah, okay. Like, I don't know. There's something about it where I just, like, I always think. And I think this is common with, like, queer people and women, I hope, at least I think is like, just feeling like we're always in trouble, like, we'll always be in trouble, or that someone will, like, replace us or get rid of us in, like, a day.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Which they might. But at the same time, it's like, no.

[B]

So I think we can employ this more. And obviously, I love the back and forth in a group chat. I just. That one was funny because it was like. It was like, really lit up.

[A]

Sorry.

[B]

Minutes.

[A]

So.

[B]

And then I was just like, yeah, I'm going to say this, and good luck responding.

[A]

No, I'm sorry. I just, like. I think I hearted it. I was just like, you know, I'm like, that's kind of it on that. But, like, it was great catching up with all you. I'll see really soon. Something about it, too, that I think feisty.

[B]

I think Gemini mentality.

[A]

It's Gemini mentality. It's a little Scorpio mentality too, though. It's a little bit like. But I think it doesn't always have to be bad. It's just kind of like, maybe you didn't think I would respond, but I'm gonna.

[B]

No, I think it might have a negative connotation, but I don't see it as a negative at all.

[A]

I also feel it as there's a spirit to it, but it's not like if someone then responded, you wouldn't. It's like almost. It's like your own last word.

[B]

I know if there was a response, honey, I could go all day.

[A]

Okay, so. Not that it is like, you will get the last word.

[B]

And. And can I say something when I don't get the last word. Think about why that might be. Let that hang in the air.

[A]

I agree, if.

[B]

Because my other thing is that I'm extremely empathetic in group chats, as I've talked about before on the podcast, I don't like to leave people hanging, so I like to respond and make people feel seen and heard and all that stuff. So if I'm actually not saying anything, what does that tell you?

[A]

My thing that I. I really want to say. Every now and then I get, like, what I want to write as a caption. That's my little treat to myself in writing the show. I'm like, oh, my God, I have a caption. I'm gonna say, I finished writing. Overcompensating. If I didn't text you back the last few months, take it personally.

[B]

Absolutely.

[A]

Please make sure to make me feel as I had so much time. Please make me feel as bad about it as humanly possible and, like, try to cut me out of your life because of it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And you are the victim in this.

[B]

You are a victim. You are valid. And I'm like, have a nice life. I guess I'm like, you don't even.

[A]

Want my last word. I'm too tired. But, yeah, I think this is fabulous. I think it's sexy, too. Yeah, there's something very sexy. I don't know if I do it as much as you, but you're an inspiration. You can to all us gay guys.

[B]

Have the last word. See how it feels.

[A]

Yeah. I think there's a few things coming up that I'll have the last word on.

[B]

I think so, too.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. I think it's really cool with what we do as we've talked about. I know. I feel like I keep saying we've talked about it before. I do forget most of the things we say on the podcast, so.

[A]

Me too.

[B]

When I remember we've repeated ourselves, I'm like, oh, I hope they're not bored. But, yeah, in what we do for work, which is like storytelling, we can take things that have actually happened to us and fictionalize them in any way that we want to. And in many ways, unless they made sort of a response project, a project in reaction to that's the last word on that 100.

[A]

I was kind of saying, like, overcompensating is season two does have a lot of my last words on. On plenty of things. And I'm kind of like, that's the statement. That's what I was saying. Thank you.

[B]

Thank you.

[A]

It's a movie, but maybe it's not.

[B]

Maybe it's more.

[A]

No. You know what I love and I actually want on record because I really want to get on the record.

[B]

Well, we're not on the record enough.

[A]

I agree. Get me on there. How do I get on there?

[B]

200 hours on the record.

[A]

Yeah. No, it's like. It's too much. In fact, we have to stop recording. I will say season two is so kind of like not my life in a way, which has been so fun to write. I think season one had. As far as my coming out, it has like a lot of parallels of me coming out, but everything else in it is so. It's like.

[B]

It's fantastical.

[A]

It's fantastical. It's magical realism.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

Which is really fun. I don't know. That's because I've been asked that a couple times and I'm like, no, it's. It really isn't sticky.

[B]

But you know what I say? Let him talk.

[A]

Of course. I love hearing this. And my girl have last word. Just wait.

[B]

You know what you are, Benny? Your words, not mine, babe. You're my ride or die.

[A]

Ride or die.

[B]

I ride for making the decision to not start a business. It's a decision that we are actively making every single day.

[A]

Every single day. So is Paul. Paul, do you have a business?

[B]

What is it? Oh, that's not the.

[A]

That doesn't count. I'm talking about selling properties.

[B]

If you have a skill. If you have a skill. That's not. That doesn't count. Yeah, if you. If you're a skilled worker.

[A]

That's completely different.

[B]

Skilled workers as well.

[A]

So completely different. I'm talking like you are selling me belts.

[B]

You're selling me belts that the cowhide was like from.

[A]

Don't sell me on it.

[B]

Okay, okay, stop, stop.

[A]

This might be the launch belts by Drama. I couldn't find a good belt.

[B]

You have always said that.

[A]

I can't find. How do I keep my pants up? Can't find a good belt.

[B]

You can't. We have to buy bigger pants because of that dunk. I know I've died.

[A]

I know it's like crazy to have this waist.

[B]

There's some baseball player that's like caught. They call him the dumper or something.

[A]

He's got a wagon like me.

[B]

Yeah, But I can't remember his name.

[A]

At some point calling it a wagon.

[B]

Yeah, me too.

[A]

Yeah. I said, it's my brother. I said to my brother in law because my brother in law's kind of got a wagon on him too. And I Kept saying it over Christmas and we. We had a lot of fun laughing about it.

[B]

I love.

[A]

Really good. Merry Christmas, by the way.

[B]

That just made me think of this for some reason, which is that we are trying to see how bad we can look on the podcast. We've reached new depths this season. I think season four, we do full glam every episode.

[A]

I'm not kidding. Glam team. Glam team. I'm pulling for everything.

[B]

Like, we need to do two at a time. If we do that.

[A]

Done.

[B]

That's the deal.

[A]

I think it should be like our glamour puss season.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

This is like str. It's very stripped. Although today because of the tan, I think, like, I can.

[B]

I don't know. Can I say something, Paul?

[A]

Do I look handsome? Maybe. Yeah.

[B]

The way. Okay. The way this tank top sits and then I'm wearing a shirt over it. It makes me look more flat chested than ever. It's like kind of crazy. It's actually just doing so much to like. It's like almost like a binder, you know, it's like binding. What. What's not even there. It's pretty fabulous. And that's the statement I'm making today.

[A]

Look how tan I am. Whoa.

[B]

Whoa.

[A]

Sorry. Oh, sorry. I don't feel comfortable doing that.

[B]

Do you ride for having the last word?

[A]

I ride for having the last word. I don't get it often, but when I do, I love it. Miyamore. And I will say I love watching you get the last word because I don't think women get it enough.

[B]

And I would love to.

[A]

Why don't you be my weird ass.

[B]

Looking for weirdness and all this. And I know the person that gave me this shirt in Toronto did not think it was going to be featured in not one, but two episodes of the podcast.

[A]

I know. I was thinking, I don't think I've worn this shirt before, but I might have done the camo one recently. There's just. Yeah, speaking of how just butt ugly we look in. And I would say about three episodes. It's the one that came out recently.

[B]

It was this week I actually took a clip down that I had posted.

[A]

Yeah, I don't. Can you make sure to not post them anywhere near where I'll see them? Because I just don't need to see that. Yeah, I. I go into hibernation mode in the writer's room, but I'm starting to claw out and be an actor again.

[B]

Also, we can't do glam every time we record. We are just. We're human. We're human.

[A]

I know my skin doesn't love makeup.

[B]

We can't do glam every time you record. Until season four.

[A]

Until season four. Which we cannot wait for one more episode. We love you so much. I know it's going to be tough, but there's so many. There's so much content of us out there. Watch. Overcompensating again. Start from the top.

[B]

Watch the fan cams.

[A]

We. We've layered. We know how ride ends from the first episode. So just very much like J.K. rowling turf. But if you start it, you'll know also.

[B]

Can I just start?

[A]

Find so many new things.

[B]

Baroni HQ is doing such an amazing job at keeping our girls engaged, engorged and in love. And in love. And I would say if you want some really quality content on TikTok at overcompensating FR, they do ride the pot out of context. They're posting fan cams from Overcompensating. They're posting about the merch. I love the work they're doing over there. So thank you so much to all the people out there who are helping enhance this community. We love you so goddamn much.

[A]

Let's say it in the camera. We love you.

[B]

We love you so goddamn much.

[A]

We love you. 1, 2, 3. We love you so much.

[B]

So goddamn much. And when we're off, like, when we have the H from the show, just, like, let us know how we can support you because we're going to be doing other stuff. We still have time for the fans.

[A]

We have a special to tape. I'll just be there. I'm producing, but I'll just be there. And we have such a fun season of television to shoot. I cannot wait for you to see it. I love the script so much. Daddy's working real hard. Oh, my. Exit.

[B]

Benny, babe. Eyes on the road.

[A]

Benny. Go. Ride. Ride.
