Keeping Records - The Pretty Committee Strikes Back (with Benito Skinner)

Episode Date: July 30, 2021

Actor. Comedian. Writer. Icon. Benito Skinner is on the pod and he's here to show the aliens (or any other beings who might find the record, he does not discriminate!!!) more than just pop culture—he wants them to feel the passage of time. Groundbreaking albums go from panned to adored. Musicians put on amazing performances and are shunned. TV-shows run 100 episodes without heeding any stop signs. Meh clothing becomes a uniform. And The Lion King goes from being an animated film, to a live Broadway musical, to The Lion King with 3D-rendered, lifelike animals voiced by an all-star cast, just because we can. Benito's Artifacts A compact disc of ARTPOP, Lady Gaga (audio) Nicki Minaj's performance of Roman Holiday at the Grammys (audio-visual) The Riverdale pilot episode and then one from Season 5 (audio-visual) A Gucci belt (human ephemera) The 2019 remake of The Lion King (audio-visual) Follow Benito on Twitter and Instagram and listen to him and Mary Beth Barone on their podcast Obsessed.

This is a HeadGum Original. In 1977, NASA sent two solid gold records into space so that aliens might find them and understand life on Earth.

Wait, Caleb, do you think if I were to check my back, I would be like gushing blood in the talons that are from my cat's claw from when I took her out of your room? Dog.

Your cat's the worst thing that's ever happened to me, personally. I hate your cat. I don't like living with the cat. Yeah, yes. I hate the cat. The cat's bad vibes. She's not bad vibes, but she is really, particularly loud at night. And other times as well.

And things happen so quickly here. Like, you really will not be booked. And then in five minutes, you will be booked for something.

But yeah, I'm like, who knows?

This doll is, I dabble in all kinds of things. But that can be so gorgeous. I love to be able to give a maybe and feel like that is true and not a lie. To be able to be like, oh, I can't actually commit to that. Because then if I don't want to do something, it's like, oh God.

She was like, she was like completely ruining the exercise. She was like, I'm getting gay the exercise she was like i'm getting gay vibes i feel like you're gay well at first at first she was asking you out at first she was saying you're gay yeah and then she was like you're gay too pissed you're like in high school like just immediately like what the fuck did you say dude like i'm not fucking gay so mad if it's okay i don't want to do this fucking activity anymore because it's actually not feeling productive to my fucking i actually to be honest with you i fucking hate theater you're never gonna fucking book i'll tell you that right now bitch like i just was so psycho

and it was a james franco acting class not james franco acting academy in north hollywood james franco acting academy yeah oh my god and it was expensive well yeah it's james franco yeah he needs the money he needs the cash flow i'm really having a hard time when i went to college when i went to college i did not study uh theater i'd never done theater and have to say i've not done theater but all my friends were theater kids like theater majors oh yeah and just hearing them talk about class like they would come over and like we would sit in my apartment and they would be like our teacher said the most inspiring thing today she looked us all dead in the eyes and she said if

you don't want to be an actor more than you want oxygen kill yourself or do something like and i was like what is going on in these acting class like they were like we all sobbed we sobbed while we danced and i was like i'm writing papers i don't know what you guys are doing over there my high school theater teacher tried to get me suspended because i didn't want to do improv no you should be suspended if you're doing improv in hindsight like jokes on me i did improv i paid to do improv for a lot of years was doing it pretty regularly but in high school she was like, okay, hold this plate and make it into any object.

And people were being like, it's a hat. And I was like, it is absolutely a plate. And I don't want to play this game. I'm so bad at improv because somebody will start the scene like that. Like they'll go somewhere and I'm like, yes.

And then no, actually that's not where I, I, I would prefer if we went this other way. I don't like that. I didn't vibe with that. Yeah, but I gave UCB thousands. Audience, I'm sorry. I hate to break the third

wall, but that was crazy. I'd like to go somewhere else. That didn't work, right? Okay, let's just pivot. I'm not being crazy, right? Like that was a weird choice. She ruined the showcase, right? Trying to also, that is such a funny thing that people do when they're like trying to like garner support for their thing like being like that that was

crazy right everyone saw like trying to like galvanize the group against against your enemy being like everyone didn't like that correct you know in improv groups no matter what they have like a mom whose kid is acting and she's like i want to figure out the biz like the the collection of people you have in like the the collection of people you have in like the improv 101 classes like there's always just some like freaky old guy that's just making everyone uncomfortable and he says a bitch too much yeah a lot of times he's a lawyer i exactly i just had like he's a lawyer the weirdest of weirdest assortment of people and then there's always one really shy guy who like just got a job in sales and is like i'm doing this to get better at my day job and you're like okay okay yeah i

want to get better at speaking i'm like are you doing improv during like a conference like i would never be here if i didn't have to and then you should be they're like if you miss a class at ucb they're like we're gonna kill you like we actually wish you dead like you can't miss three classes they're like you literally have to fucking like never return it's like wait but I'm paying being in improv classes and like email

I remember like fever I had to be out of town for like a family wedding and I was gonna miss one improv class in an eight week course and I was like feverishly emailing like the director of this training center, the teacher, and being like, I am going to be out of town, but I will do a makeup class. Please, please, please.

And they were like... But then they'll be like, yes, you can do a drop-in, but it will still count as an absence. It doesn't matter that you're doing a drop-in. And you're like, what? And I was like, thank you for the opportunity. It was so insane the way I let these people control my mind. I can't wait to meet more improvisers in the other class.

And paid to do it. Like this is so expensive. Like I'm allowed to miss a class for work. It is so funny to pay to do improv. And we've been doing it for so long, but it is so funny to pay. I'm so proud of us. I love it.

The money would feel dirty. It's a passion more than anything. Yeah, it's a vocation. Some people paint. The word vocation is way too a part of my lexicon because of Catholic school.

Okay, no worries yeah wait shall we wait i are you thinking what i'm thinking be honest i really think i am but i'm gonna let you take the lead because honestly men have had our time and our time is up you go ahead totally my god your time is up we had to ask you We like, we've been thinking about it

for a little bit and we just wanted to ask you if we were sending new records into space, what would you put on them? I, I love this. I went very pop culture-y

and I realized that I know nothing else and that I think is important. That's okay. The listeners need to know I could not come up with a single book. Not one. I even thought and the first book that came to my mind was where the red friend grows

because like i talked about it recently so that one we don't need to send up just now the first book i thought it was the click oh my god the covers of those how there's like the burberry my sister had those and i was like these are crazy you know like in her room like front to back these are so crazy i really remember specifically one thing about that book was that they were like purple is the color of royalty purple is royalty and every time i see purple now i'm like queen shit wait well i always love the names i felt like the titles were really really delicious they were like don, you only love me because I'm beautiful. Is that like Gossip Girl?

Those might have been the Gossip Girl books. Hold on. I'll tell you the titles. Yeah. Can you tell me? It's like, I'm loving what you guys are talking about, even though I've never read these. You're going to love these novels, these novellas. Novellas.

They're really good. Yeah. They're incredible. They are. The first one's just the click. Click. Simple. Second one, Best Friends for Never. That's what i'm talking about shit like third one revenge of the wannabes fourth one and we have to stand this one invasion of the boy snatchers these are all my god these are improv showcases yeah

Yeah, yeah.

That's true. You're going to love them. These ones are a little bit like chiquer. You don't think those were chic? No, they're awesome. Okay. Yeah, you're going to get ready. These Gossip Girl ones are going to slap you across the face.

Are you ready? List of novels. Let's go. Okay. So first one, Gossip Girl. Sort of a classic. The first click was the click the first girl you build yeah yeah you build it you know you love me kind of became sort of a catchphrase yeah um all i want is everything that one huge oh my god that was huge that is massive for the culture everything all i want is everything it's pretty simple don't you think because i'm worth it i mean all i want is everything it's pretty simple don't you think because i'm worth it

all i want is you have to i also feel like there has to be like an ellipses it's like it's you all do all i want is everything everything like it has to be a little dead eyes dead eyes just looking right in the camera everything i have to love i have to love that only a few of these are written by Ghostwriter and written by Ghostwriter actually for Gossip Girl feels like the brand. Every book should have been written by

Gossip Girl. I know, but Cecily, what's her name? I know her name. Strong. Her, yes. Tyson. Of course. Cecily Tyson. It's Cecily Von Zegasar. Yeah. Cecily Tyson. It's Cecily Von... Trap. Zegasar. Yeah.

She's the doll. That's the doll. She's the... I hate to say this because so many people will... We will get intense backlash and maybe dropped from head to head for this, but Cecily Von Zegasar is the blueprint.

She is. No, she totally is. She rewrote what it means to be an author. Jake and Amir send us an email. Yeah, Jake and Amir are like, everybody knows Nicki Minaj is the blueprint. The pink print even. You guys are disgusting. You're dropped.

Good luck. Spotify drops, Benny. Mike hasn't laughed once. Need I say more? Not even once. I'm like, I feel like this is the funniest episode of all. You don't know this, but his pager's going off. There's so much crime and he wants to... Yes. He's like, we got a 413 down in tribeca

mike has to as soon as the pod's over he has to jump in his unmarked crown victoria yes and he steps on it with one heel his right his right shoe was a heel yeah yeah i love it it's so okay sorry i got i really you asked me a question do i start from the top of you start wherever you want you can start wherever you want your record okay i think the first thing would be um a cd uh like a full disc physical copy of lady Gaga's Art Pop. Thank you. I think it's a time capsule of that period, specifically like the 2014 era. It is, it's a complicated record. And I do think it tells so much about humanity. And we start with Aura, I believe is the first track.

There's swine on that, Donatella. It's a story of classism, of sex, of power, of female empowerment. Absolutely. Of the queer experience. That album really start to fin is I think very important.

And I think it would also any other civilization finding it would be, it'd take them a sec, it'd grow on them. And I think it would also, any other civilization finding it would be, it'd take them a sec, it'd grow on them. And I think that's, that's what's fun. I want to ask if you can only include one song from art pop, which one would it be? Oh my God.

You don't have to, we're going to include the whole thing. I just want to know because I want to, I want to, I want to play it. Yeah. I think, you know what I would do?

I mean, applause was the first single, but we all know that we don't know if that was really the first single um i love sex dreams sex dreams is like one of my favorites but i think i would do donatella because the intro to that will just take your breath away it i i really can't believe it was made i think that's what's important like that's why I love it so much. It's like the campiest song to have ever been made. Like, if you see the lyrics right now, it'll take your breath away. So that's, I think Donatella's my pick.

I am so fab. Fab. Check out, I'm blonde. I'm skinny. I'm rich. And I'm a little bit of a bitch. Think about the aliens. The aliens have this up to their ears and they're like,

it can work. This is sick. They're like, wait, is this Zed? Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're like, that's Zed. They're dancing. Aliens are shaking ass in space. Literally, when aliens kill themselves.

Yeah. Okay. I gotta say. She did. Look, so many people are scared to say this in our culture. Our culture of unforgiveness, of cancellation. Lady Gaga did what needed to be done. She did. She snapped. And Gaga did what needed to be done. She did.

She snapped and everyone, this record was panned. And I think also aliens and like whoever finds this, I think I'm being like really inclusive. Aliens and whoever finds this. You don't have to be aliens. Seriously. You could be a person.

No, it doesn't fucking matter to me. Like I literally, whatever you want to do um i think it was panned by critics and i think they're gonna see within it it like to me it represents a comeback now people love it like i think in the summer it topped the charts again because all the little monsters pause up when bought it again to like you know because they're like literally pause up everybody pause up mike mike pause up for real pause up okay it's more of a claw love that was a little bit

little bit more fingers um but yeah and she oh my god wait wait wait wait wait benny yeah i'm sorry i have to ask you do you think there are little monsters in the nypd no no there aren't no monsters no barbs no monsters no barbs in the nypd there are katie cats maybe yeah they're definitely swifties animals um no i don't think any there are none on all fronts yeah they're just like slipknot heads i don't think any. There are none on all fronts. Yeah, they're just like slipknot heads. I don't know what they're called. Slipknot heads. Slipknot. Exactly.

No, a lot of them love like, why can't I think of his name? Born in the USA. What's his name? Bruce Springsteen. Oh, Bruce Springsteen. Bruce Springsteen. Oh, yeah. A lot of Bruce Springsteen heads in the NYPD.

Couldn't name one song. A lot of spring heads. I love it, though. I love you, Bruce. Spring boys. Someone brings up Bruce and I'm like, oh, I love him. I can't name. Oh, I can name Wrecking Ball. Couldn't name one song. A lot of spring heads. I love it though. I love you, Bruce. Spring boys. Someone brings up Bruce and I'm like, oh, I love him.

I can't name, oh, I can name Wrecking Ball. I've heard that song. I love it. Oh, you're thinking of Miley Cyrus. I came in like a wrecking ball, Billy,

Bruce Springsteen. No, no, no. I know that song, but I think Bruce does have a wrecking, he has got some kind of wrecking song. Yeah.

I'll be vindicated after. Much like Gaga was vindicated for this album. And he wrote, yeah, Bruce Springsteen wrote naked on the ball for the video. He bottomed for his cement ball. Yeah, he bottomed. Absolutely. Absolutely. That should be so funny.

Something about this record. Sorry to bring it back. If Bruce Springsteen was a bottom. Bringing back Bruce Springsteen being a bottom for the record yeah he's a bottom it's like being adult be verse and bruce is like absolutely not strict i'm gonna bottom sorry love it's all i know strict bottom absolutely be a strict bottom only looking for xl tops no no hangups no hangups here looking now no no no Bruce he's always tuning in we love you Bruce Shelby what were you gonna say girl I'm sorry

well something about Artpop that I think is so strange is that she delayed the release because she had an injury like she didn't release the album on time because she like broke her hip she broke her hip i was supposed to see an album release doesn't need you you're just putting it out see no it does need her because like she this was so linked to like there was

like a gallery show because like jeff koons also jeff koons did the cover so it's like also like aliens are gonna see that and like try to grapple with it. And then also like there was like an H and M store opening, I believe for this. And she went everywhere. The birth of Yas Gaga is because of this album cycle. She like walked out in a like full look. She was in art house looks all over the cities,

all over the countries. All of the cities, you name them. All the cities, all the countries all the cities you name them all the cities all the countries name any and she was putting on she was there yeah no this album is a specific part of humanity it's she really did rise from the ashes of it though and now people understand it as it's a camp masterpiece so i i'm excited for the aliens and whoever else yeah to just dive your insistence on being inclusive like the aliens or seriously you guys and i know i've said this anybody else i don't care anyone anyone you don't you don't want to be called aliens not gonna call you that doesn't matter to me jeff croons oh here we go well caleb what was the

documentary you watched where we really didn't like jeff coons yeah well his work is okay the documentary was the price of the price of everything yes it's a gorgeous documentary i love i we loved that documentary shelby we really we really had a good time with that one yes i know but i remember us really not liking well in his defense he was juxtaposed in this documentary against which i think is a fair juxtaposition he was juxtaposed in this documentary against – which I think is a fair juxtaposition. He was juxtaposed as this very rich, successful corporate artist who has completely sold out versus – they were also profiling in the documentary some very pure artists who kind of stepped away from the – Like live in a cabin in the woods and are just painting for the love of the game. And they stepped away from the high-end art game. And so the juxtaposition wasn't very kind to him although i think it was fair i mean his work is just like to me it's just like whatever with the big metallic

balloons or whatever could you imagine if i got so pissed i'm like i actually think it's genius bitch actually i'm gonna and i'm gonna log off now i'm back in my improv true you're like cracking up it was him like it was him like walking around a factory with like a bunch of art students like And I'm going to log off now. I'm back in my improv true. We were like cracking up. It was him like walking around a factory with like a bunch of art students like painting meticulously and him being like, don't like it. Yeah.

So like, she just immediately did it the crowd was just absolutely not like nothing they're like we don't and I'm gonna do it for every show now for the rest of my life show me your fucking urinals yeah I don't know if I can do like a bark I think it would only be good if I really committed which is

Do you ever catch yourself saying something and you're just like,

I've never been more vulnerable in my life. Third is I don't want to fucking, I don't even want to be here. I don't even want to, it's not funny. And I hate it. I hate myself. Yeah. Literally.

I am kind of a talker. So it is, it just just it's an embarrassing thing about me and i know sam yeah and i also i mean have you ever had sex with someone who's not a talker it's horrifying well the thing is is that terry is yeah dead ass silent so it's me just kind of like testing material on him yeah yeah he's like stop babe seriously just absolutely nothing as i'm like oh yeah he lets out like a soft chuckle he goes yeah yeah no absolutely i think he said something back once and i was like whoa that's awesome you were like i really nailed it yeah i was like shit okay you know yeah you're like you're like fuck he's so into me he said one word during

something i'm just like yeah he just coughed like that's sick you're calling friends after he said something yeah no what'd he say what'd he say i think i would be like if he said something though i would kind of be like okay and settle down don't talk to me like that yeah i would just immediately king shame him like that's so gross don't touch me let's talk about this later that is legitimately what it's like hooking up if you if you have ever in your life hooked up with a closeted guy that is what happens you'll be hooking up and it'll be going fine and then they'll say something really mean and aggressive and you're like just a second can you like gagging on that faggot and you're just like um yeah and i'm like oh wait a minute okay dan didn't see that coming oh okay

because she could have performed starship she could have done super bass and instead she was like i'm gonna do a full exorcism on the grammy stage i'm gonna be roman i'm gonna do six different voices this performance is deeply unhinged what's your name take your medication roman take a short vacation roman you'll be okay stop it mother please She also showed up to the Grammys dressed as a cardinal with a man, I assume like a backstage actor who is dressed as the Pope. This is flawless artistic execution from start to finish. And now the Grammys hate her for it. Like they won't give her a Grammy because this was so like I'm sure the Catholic Church just hated it it's incredible even just

the start I would say I want to give an Oscar to the guy who played the priest yeah in the beginning yeah he stayed in character the whole time like on that red carpet he has his hands crossed like he is and she just looked incredible and the performance oscar emmy tony she's doing like voices she like rises and it's like full exorcism it's so it's just again i think it would teach the anyone out there any civilizations what it means to just show up to something and just fully really be on stick to your vision and commit can we just commit and just not in any way give people what they asked for and i think that's why i love it it is so psychotic it is so like off-putting there also are not enough dancers

on stage like the stage is way too empty during the performance yeah the grammys were like we can't give you any money they're like honey this is bad for us begging for super bass and a pink wig like this is hell and she said we don't want you to go to church on stage i will say this feels this feels like i think lil nas is montero is the reprise to totally yes spiritual successor Lil Nas had a um he had a a barb account that was like his thing yes so he would I mean I think absolutely I I assume Roman on a song with him would be it is the spiritual successor it is yes like truly Lil Nas X is the I feel like I feel like they're once every couple of years we get a new freak show artist who is doing the most and making normal people uncomfortable. And it was, of course, Lady Gaga. It was, of course, Nicki Minaj.

It was, of course, Sia. It is, of course, Lil Nas X. I wanted to say that. It's, of course, Olivia Rodrigo. Like the least. It's, of course, Olivia. It is, of course Rodrigo. Like the least. It's of course Olivia. It is of course challenging our perceptions of reality.

It is of course Jessica Simpson's angels. Actually, Ashley Simpson did. I stand by that she did. Is that well done? Are you kidding? Lala? Someone else's dreams. Yeah.

Yeah. But yeah, no, he is just so magical at the internet in a way that I've never seen any other artist I mean Cardi is amazing at the internet and I think Katy Perry like pre internet was really good at the internet like she was great at like Myspace and Facebook Benny do you want to do you want to sound off on Cardi coming for white twinks on twitter oh my god i support her obviously i back her on that don't stop cardi go deeper figure it out more like really fight lean in mama yeah no i absolutely love it because they're no one's meaner to me in my dms like no one has said meaner things to me

than white twinks absolutely no one said meaner things to me than white twinks. No one said meaner things generally. But sometimes they come to shows and I'm like, okay, it's great to see you. Like, I'm glad it's good to see you guys. I'm glad you made it out tonight. Boys. We're so stoked to have you. But okay. Wait, Caleb, do you find this in not?

Okay. Immediately. I'm like, Shelby, turn your mic off. I'm like, I just need to talk to him but i find that performing for gays in new york is so fun because they'll just like clap and be like when a gay is performing oh and in la they like laugh and they're a part of it but in new york it's like and it's like okay but you bought a ticket to be here i have why why are you so unimpressed? I have had gay men in New York snap at my jokes. Like literally not even laughing, just being like, and I'm like, oh my God.

Okay. I'm like, wow, I miss this. I miss this energy. I love when someone treats standup like a poetry slam. Yeah, exactly. I miss this energy from you guys i saw one time when i lived in new york for two summers in college and one time i went to see a show in brooklyn that's i do not know where it was a small show that it was in like time out or something and mateo lane went up and i

love him he's so funny and he was performing and someone snapped like someone was doing the snap thing where they were like literally it was like a quiet bar show so i don't know but they snapped and he goes he literally went off he was like oh no please make this a little bit more degrading he was like quiet bar show at like 5 p.m in brooklyn please make it more embarrassing for me make sure to snap at my live reading. Hell. Okay. I love it. So we're putting on Art Pop. We're putting on Nicki Minaj's Roman Holiday performance at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards in 2012.

What else are you putting on? Okay. So I think, well, all my media is coming first. Well, actually, that's not true. I promise there's a little bit more of a mix, but it is kind of just like, it's visuals. I'm giving them visuals, which I think is fun. So I want to show them the pilot episode of Riverdale. And then I also just want to take a random episode

from season five and show them both. Just kind of as, it'll show them what time, like it will tell you the passage of time. It'll show you human creativity and how we can just take something and we can run with it and i yeah i think it's magical it is absolutely fascinating to say that riverdale of all shows showing a season one and season five would show the passage of time when people are dying people are coming back to life people are yeah short of like there's a time jump seven years

seven year time simply it simply could not show the passage of time as it works on Earth. Less. These civilizations are going to, their jaws are going to drop when they see the second episode. They do stuff crazy. This went off the rails. I love it. Because I've seen every single episode.

It is my, no matter what I watch it, like I have to see what's going on. It is because it's so unfair to writers that they have to write 100 episodes of anything that is illegal like how could you ever could you imagine pitching a show where they're like so we know what's happening in season one what are we what's happening in episode 156 exactly what about our anniversary episode the 100th episode where do you see these connections and it's it's incredible the fact that that is still like a regular schedule for tv shows is baffling to me but um i'm obsessed i love it it's so psychotic to like i really do think

like a hundred episodes of anything riverdale is doing it right like i don't watch the show but i hear enough to know that they are just truly being like you know what anything an asteroid hits the town we don't care like they're just going the fuck off with it and I kind of love that they haven't gone to sci-fi yet but I do think we're about two episodes away it's coming it's coming it's coming I want the supernatural present I mean but you could full-on watch someone die and then they're like prank their life oh no no five episodes later they are back and we don't need much of an explanation because we get that this is the world we're living in this is they're kind of like do you have why do you have questions no it's like enjoy it no and just yeah it's um there's these, there's kind of serial killers in every season and they kind of get more and more like culty.

And then there was a cult in it. There was like a religious thing. It's, yeah, it's incredible. I think it shows the human condition better than anything else. I haven't seen this part yet because I'm not up to date, but they made Chad Michael Murray a villain. Yeah. And his body was just like insane. Like I was just like insane.

Like I was just like, oh my God, have you been like, have you been training for Riverdale for the past five years, Chad? I would like to see it. Yeah. He was like a cult leader. He was good. He was good. The ending of it was like evil can evil though. What?

Like they just pull from these iconic moments and it's amazing. It's just, I do think it has so much like so many references are in it from other films and tv shows and like moments in history that i do think it would be a great thing for someone who doesn't know what we're doing on earth to see i love it i tried to just explain the show as is to someone on earth who knows sort of what we're up to yeah and it was one of the hardest things I've ever done. I was like, okay,

so then there's the serpents. They're kind of a, Oh my God. You know, I have a t-shirt. I was like, so then there's the serpents. They're kind of like their own thing.

And then, so the town gang, and then they, every town has a gang. What are you going to do? As you know, I was like, we all know this.

We know to be true. This we know. And of course, what do they call the drug? It's not giggle. Jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle, This we know to be true. This we know to be true. And of course it's that. What do they call the drug? It's not Giggle Pig. Jingle Jangle. Something else. Jingle Jangle.

Jingle Jangle. Jingle Jangle. Immediately. I just, yeah. I want to have a party. I know that, I hope the finale doesn't come. Like I don't want a serious finale

anytime soon, but I will throw a party. I want you guys to come. I'm going to have like pixie sticks that are Jingle Jangle. We're going to snort them. Exactly. Yeah. We're going to snort them. Like it like it's gonna we're all wearing our leather jackets like yeah we all got a tattoo of this i'm dying my hair red fire i'm gonna kill somebody yeah there'll be a cult leader

there too um but yeah riverdale is so special to me i'm excited for the cultures to see it i love that have you seen season one at least? Yes. Caleb has not. Season one is start to finish. Incredible. What they can do with 12 episodes. It was a full story. It was amazing.

They just had to do 24 the second season and they had to come up with some. They had to get a little crazy with it. They had to go a little creative. Some D storylines, some F storylines. It's got, it's gotta be a good writer's room to be in because at that point you don't even you don't have to have a good idea you don't have to sensical idea you have to just be

like i'm thinking what if walk with me here i'm thinking betty's dad is a fucking serial killer it's almost like a main character we're gonna make her dad a serial it's literally almost like being in an animated room it's just like uh they fuck to death and the house blows up but they live it's like cool i love that yeah that's real that's fun that's actually fun season two though finally someone showed up to work today yeah that's cute somebody finally is having fun with it which i've asked for i want something fresh i'm bagged i'm the showrunner i'm the gay showrunner i'm like exactly that's what i mean queen that's what i wanted somebody who shows up to gag me for once the person who writes season one is like okay okay um okay do you want my next one i want

to know honestly to be honest and bottom my heart before we go to your next one benny i want to know uh well shelby and i really the pod wants to know, honestly, to be honest and bottom of my heart, before we go to your next one, Benny, I want to know. Well, Shelby and I really the pod wants to know. What is something so embarrassing in all of human history that you think it should be deleted from the records entirely? And you don't have to say. Please, please, please don't say the big stuff. I don't. We famine. Homosexuality.

When I first when I first thought that you were going to heterosexual. Exactly. I'm like gay rights. No, I just I was like, was like oh my god this is such a like weighted yeah i'm like this is you know i have to approach this in a really delicate way but i was glad that you took away any kind of seriousness from it i'm just thinking this week like i the baby just had his rant i don't want to date the pod but this is on stage about aids and i just it's like kind of the ultimate okay no one brought it up you know like he just he was like put your lighters up unless you have you know and it was just so like what are you like no one said a thing

like what do you mean truly out of nowhere it's one of the most like, I mean, it's disturbing, obviously, but it's like kind of fascinating to me because I'm just like, wait, what? What led you to that point? And also like, yeah, so I don't need his verse on levitating. I think that's magical. I don't need it. I would love anyone to fill in with the absolute absurdity and unnecessary, like randomness of that rant. I'm like, did you just test positive for HIV,

babe? No, literally. It's like, okay. No one said it. It was like me in school. If someone said like,

Oh, you order like a Frappuccino. And I'm like, I'm not fucking gay. Like, it was like, okay. If you are like,

first of all, like, okay. Like, okay. Yeah. Nope. no like i really hope no one here like that's okay babe like we don't care like what he also as as part of that rant was like uh put your fucking lighters up if you're not sucking dick in the parking lot and this he drops a single like two days later that's about literally shooting people in the head and it's like

babe sucking dick in the parking lot is net positive it is it's fun bad vibes i'm sorry we're getting back out there we're seeing other people yeah i'm i'm just kind of like just thinking of like Dua Lipa's face seeing it and just being like what like what the hell? Someone describing it to someone like I tried. Yeah. Like I, I, my friend hadn't seen it and I was just like, I literally don't know how to describe this piece of media to you because

it's so disturbing and also just like so deeply uncalled for. So yeah, I would like to erase that. I, I do not think that those comments contributed to anything positive and it's just like on my brain obviously there are plenty of things but that one is just like yeah yeah it needs to go because we can be levitating really does but and also megan megan the stallion has uh a great verse for that right like didn't she have a verse for levitating did she or did someone put

her verse over levitating so i saw a video of her over levitating i don't know if she did if she did i would i want her to go record that i know i want it someone put her verse over levitating or something maybe someone did like a match and i promise you if you give nikki a feature she'll go absolutely brazy so nikki fucks features up i think it would be epic though to have lil nas x like lil Nas X gets on there yeah maybe also some jabs it to baby and I'll have Lil Nas do anything yeah because it would be fun if in the end of this one like someone new comes on it they're gay and then it goes number one like that I love like a we love a comeback I do I do think that uh his verse on levitating should go it's I said what I said and it's and it is what it is uh Vinnie what what else would you put on your records okay so i said a gucci belt um and i

said this because it's like we don't really have all the answers but we're trying to figure it out that was my reasoning like yeah just this belt that just kind of like has a logo on it and we're just all trying to like figure out why we why why everyone has it. And the logo is not cute. The logo is not, the Gucci logo is not cute. That one doesn't work for me. That belt is tough. And I see it and I see people thinking that it finished their outfit.

And I'm just like, there's, we've got a lot to figure out. And I think it's, I think it's beautiful. And I think it represents the human existence. And also kind of like us as like sheep like us as absolutely like just like living and dying by whatever it really is sort of like a collar like it's like an animal collar did you

do you think it's the buckle specifically or the gucci belt that has the red and green stripes because that's worse to me see i kind of think that's fun. It's like, if you're going to do it, commit. Like, have the full moment. It's just the black belt with the gold Gs right over the buckle. And I just, every time I see one, I just immediately think of, like, a guy at a urinal having to unbuckle that. Like, it's so funny to me. Do you guys know how expensive they are? It's like $1,000, right? Less than that, but we're getting close.

How close? Like, sevens? Yeah. I'm seeing one right now for 750 we're all three behind like buying them raft yeah yeah these are ridiculous i'm like did you guys see the price on these things i'm gonna really cute what would you even do if in a week you got from from us uh via head gum a gucci belt as like a gift for being on the pod i'd scream i'd wear it i'd wear it if it was free i'd wear it yeah and this isn't let's just say this because i really don't want gucci to hear this they're gonna hear this and not send us things and i really just want to put on the record

i think everything else is beautiful it's just this we will be the faces of the three of us to wear it we will be the faces of gucci i know you guys are in the plus size world and i want to rub i want to rub guys uh gucci girlies gucci girlies but yeah i just um yeah where my gucci girlies at let's do it it's just anything like that i guess it's more of like a a symbol of something that we all like so many people think they need and buy and everyone has it which i think is just inherently strange to like wear something that everyone is wearing it's so weird to like i'm like what i yeah i don I don't know. It's beautiful. It unites us.

Iris Apfel talked about this in her documentary where Iris Apfel is that fabulous old woman, for anyone listening who doesn't know, who lives in New York. She's with her, yeah. Do you guys want to know something so embarrassing? First, I thought it was Iris Apfel, the daughter of Jonathan. Okay, queen.

Same difference. Same difference. Iris like okay same difference documentary go off mike paws up for iris apatow yes i like that those were more like true paws which i think is iris apfel talks about uh fashion in manhattan and she's like everybody in manhattan thinks they're fashionable but all that they wear all black and like a camel coat and she's like that's not that's a uniform that's not fashion which is a very similar thing with the gucci belt where it's like yeah i'm not saying you don't look good you might look incredible but if you're wearing what everyone of the moment is wearing you really are like yeah it's uniform vibes it's giving like your originality yeah you're just taking what's given yeah i'm like you don't you don't love that you don't love that belt you don't

well there is sort of this like shift in some you don't love the brand's whole thing you fucking like that belt this pot is so fun you like that seriously seriously no i love being sexy about belts on here we actually penny we do often talk about the importance of being earnest. The importance of being earnest is huge on the pod. You have to. If I may say, the importance of being earnest.

I will have to say it's the importance of being earnest on the pod for me. Benny, will you say the importance of being earnest for the listeners? The importance of being earnest on the pod.

The importance of being earnest on the pod. I'll bark again at the end. Yeah. Yeah, we want you to come on and talk about your favorite stuff, but most importantly, do exactly as we say. Yeah, we guests we're like yeah we want you to come on and talk about your favorite stuff but most importantly

do exactly as we say yeah we've got some like cool little bark say the importance of being earnest give some topics

some yeah just some little yeah like you guys are puppeteers it's fun it would be so funny if at the end of every recording

we were like hey we just have some things we want you to read and it's like promos for all of our shows you can follow caleb on twitter i always want to at the end of someone's delete it to just be like oh that's interesting i would have said like war that's a weird thing they said sexism exists okay you would delete da baby's i would delete famine i don't think people should

go hungry it's up to you i guess world war ii was yeah yeah no no no let's get let's get rid of gucci balls you chose that you chose that when death was on the table whatever but someone's never heard of inequality yeah to each his own i guess when someone says to each his own it's like oh wow to each his own is so disrespectful or also another phrase i hate i tweeted this once and people said they'd never heard it but i people have said to me like especially in work arguments like at a day job be that as it may be that as it may i'll fucking kill you how about that okay shakespeare like don't mix up words like that don't play with our language like that say what you mean now be that as it may don't spit a poem for me. We're fighting.

Yeah. Don't proliferate to me. No, there's one way to say that, and it'd be like this. It'd be like this. Don't. It'd be like this. And even though it do be that way. Like, hell no.

Be that as it may. I actually think. How do you say that in a cool way? You can't. Be it as it may. It's definitely something that we audition for caleb like i've had a few characters use words like that be it isn't may you are powerful and you can do whatever you want and seriously if you're not gonna suck his dick i will you know like that's

the full monologue yeah but i auditioned for what camp campers girl three at summer camp not you literally playing shelby is literally playing a camper in a production on saturday so i love the honesty oh she books okay someone books okay it's me being like oh what am i gonna do at opening campfire uh benny you have one more thing to put on your records yeah i do yeah do, yeah. So this one, I think, is probably on more than just mine, but I think the Lion King remake that came out, I think about a year, two years ago, the live-action animated real 3D rendering of the Lion King. With a star-studded cast, by the way.

With a star-studded cast. I don't even need to name names. But yeah, something about, it's like we're moving forward, With a star-studded cast, by the way. With a star-studded cast. I don't even need to name names. But yeah, something about it's like we're moving forward, but also taking steps back at the same time. And there is something so human about this. Greed is involved, which I think is amazing. I think, yeah, there's so many layers to this. Just explaining this to any civilization is so funny to me it's like so it worked when we

did it like kind of similarly and it was like amazing and then we just kind of like changed the world they loved it like it was a whole thing broadway show like explosive and then we just kind of like did it again but it's just like it's real but it's not real and will like make it seem like these lions are speaking to each other like it's just it's so and i love the movie like that's the best part about it is that i like i genuinely enjoyed this movie so much and i still like if it's on i'll watch it yeah you're a stan and i love beyonce in it well yes the thing that they did that we all wanted was put beyonce and some other stars in the in the cast totally the thing that they gave us that we never asked for never needed was for the lion king to feel more real nobody was like nobody was watching the original

one and being like okay this is good but i would like it if instead there were moments where i was genuinely scared yeah there were moments where i was like these hyenas are fucking terrifying like truly from my nightmares and scar was hot they said scar's gonna be fucking so brave that was so brave benny that was so brave yeah the whole thing is just like it is so yeah and apparently i think they're doing like a sequel and i'm like what is no what is that they just do it again it's the exact same but they just try their hands at it one more time they try and get like a couple of animation things that it's like when someone sees their final project

Well,

that's what I'm always saying. Time is a concept. Yeah. I think, um, it's gonna, these things show them that, but they also show like our growth and,
