| 0:27.6 | I'm Benito Skinner. |
| 0:29.7 | I'm Mary Beth Brown. |
| 0:31.1 | And this is Ride. |
| 0:35.6 | Oh, no. |
| 0:37.3 | What? It's not bad, right? It's so cute. Let me see. Oh, it's so cute. That's my baby love. Literally, those are your babies. I look so fucking ugly in these. You never look as bad as you think you do. I just want to say that. But we can address the fact that we're not wearing makeup. |
| 1:10.8 | Yeah, I guess we have to, right? You have a little piece of dry skin on that one. Yeah. Oh, it's flaking off. Yeah. Yay. Yeah. Oh, my God. How is it now? That's so cool. It's kind of all fine, right? Yeah. I mean, I'm not trying to deny your reality. |
| 1:11.7 | We're keeping this. |
| 1:11.7 | Oh, no, right? Yeah. I mean, I'm not trying to deny your reality. We're keeping this. |
| 1:19.4 | Oh, you tricked me. You fucking tricked me. I know. God, you know what's crazy. Have we talked about how much escape rooms just like aren't our shit? Like, we are not about it. You had the funniest |
| 1:25.9 | thing. I quoted you to someone yesterday talking about escape rooms, but I'm not sure if you said this, but you were like, women are actively trying to not be in an escape room, so I don't need to go in. No, I would never need to pay for that experience. I don't know if I've said that. I'm sure I'm not the first. I think you said I'm spending kind of all my days trying to not get kidnapped. To not be trapped in a room with anyone, really. I just want to have the freedom to leave at any time. I just know that immediately I'd have to fart, sorry, and then immediately I would be completely worthless. Can I just say something? But morale, high as hell. If you like escape rooms. Oh, and by the way, this is Ride the Podcast with Mary Beth Brun and Venito Skinner. We're so happy to have you guys here. Take it away. If you like escape rooms, we are just diametrically not. Like, we're fundamentally in opposition with each other. We could never be close. There's just a level we'll never reach because that's just so something I would never do. But you would do laser tag. |
| 2:17.7 | And I have done laser tag and I love laser tag. And I'm sorry. And I'm sorry. If there are baronies out there who love escape rooms, I completely, like, I love that you love, just like the ice breakers thing last week. I love that you love it. Thank you, sweetie. But there's just a level we're never going to get to it. The amount of letters I've gotten since I did the icebreaker ice cubes ride, it's like, everyone's like, it's your best. |
| 2:37.2 | You killed that. Like, it was so, like, engaging and excited. You were just like, we couldn't wait to see what you said next. It was still like, I was at the edge of my seat. Like, that's why you have a podcast, dude, and I don't. Yeah. Yeah, there's no judgment. There are some things like that where I'm just like, I just know we'd never be married personally if you wanted to do this all the time. And in that, in that sense, I should have known if you know what I mean. So there's a really fun new party game that I came up with. There's a really fun new party game that I came up with. So you take turns. So let's say there's 10 people at the party. So if we were at a party with eight other people, I'm just doing some quick math here. Shit. Okay. Sorry. I never did calculus two. Wasn't it called Calc 2 or whatever? Probably. Pre-cal, Cal 1, Cal 2. There's a bunch of other shit. Oh, and then there's like arithmetic. Yeah, whatever. |
| 3:24.8 | No, no, no. |
