RIDE is officially back, and Mary Beth Barone and Benito Skinner are wasting no time reminding everyone why the internet can’t get enough of them.
After launching in 2023, the podcast quickly carved out its own lane with chaotic, hyper-specific conversations that bounce between niche pop culture, online absurdity, and whatever the duo is currently “riding” for. Now, with a brand-new episode and era, they’re picking up right where they left off… just sharper, more iconic, and even more self-aware.
The return episode kicks off with talk of Ariana Grande monologues before spiraling into everything from internet rumors and cancel culture to identity crises on Reddit and the psychology of press lines.
It’s the kind of unfiltered, rapid-fire commentary fans have come to expect, with topics ranging from acne journeys and aging in the public eye to bizarre debates about tipping culture and whether anyone online is actually real.
The duo also dive into everything from Rosalia concerts and fashion hacks to nightmare blind dates, barista drama, and their ongoing existential musings, proving once again that no topic is too niche or too chaotic for the RIDE universe.
The return also comes on the heels of their other project, Overcompensating, which recently wrapped its second season. Benny previously teased the season as “nastier, cringier, and hornier,” a tone that clearly carries over into their podcast dynamic.
With a bold new photoshoot already making waves and their signature chemistry fully intact, RIDE is stepping back into the spotlight like it never left.
New episodes of RIDE drop every Wednesday, with the show available across all major podcast platforms. Shop merch here!
