Dear Media
And just like that… your favorite besties & tastemakers Benito Skinner and Mary Beth Barone are baaaack. Join them every Wednesday on your way to Sephora to hear their witty, ridiculous, and irreverent (jk) musings on life, the universe, existence, and what they currently ride for. If you've longed to hear two absolute bimbos talk about looping, Schrödinger’s cat, being a lizard, and SO much more, you're gonna absolutely live/die for this podcast. You might even... dare we say... ride for it. Trends, cultural moments that altered the direction of their lives, and even the film Mother!… NOTHING is off limits. WE RIDE AT DAWN!!
