Hey everybody, welcome back to another episode of Snark Bait.

I'm Christie.

I'm Sophie.

It's our tagline.

Everyone loved it so far.

Oh, did people like it?

I feel like it hasn't really caught on.

Were the podcasts that's extremely online, so you don't have to be.

Boom.

I love it.

We had some comments that people were saying, I like the tagline.

It's fun.

Oh, thank you guys.

Thank you so much.

Christie, how are we doing?

How are we doing?

Oh, well, I'm doing okay.

Yeah, it is Friday the 13th spooky.

Oh my god, it is.

Are you superstitious?

Yeah, I'm very superstitious.

I mean, we both are because we're Jewish and Chinese, respectively.

Yep.

Yep.

I don't like to walk under ladders.

I don't like anything cracked.

Very superstitious.

Very superstitious.

Also Mercury's in retrograde.

No wonder.

No wonder.

I have just, yeah, I was telling Sophie off Mike that we've had people come into town

all week from work and so I've just been like at a dinner, at a lunch, at a dinner,

at a lunch, at a dinner.

Like all we've been doing is schmoozing, so we're doing a bit of a marathon recording

today.

In a single day and I love picturing you entertaining clients.

It's not like clients is more internal people, but there's like looking with a, like a

New York's based AI company, so I'm like talking with them, but yeah, it's too much.

Like I'm an introvert of heart, truly.

I would be so bad in a client-facing job, so bad.

Yeah, no, I mean, I'm not really client-facing either, but like interacting with third party

like then.

But so having to like, yeah, having to interact with people.

I don't have to really interact with people in my job.

No, you would.

No, you would be good.

No.

You're really schmooser.

I don't know if I am.

I really respect like the sales people out there that are really good with like my sister,

shout out Mandy.

Yeah.

So, you know, take out clients to dinner and, you know, wine and dine up.

Like that takes a lot of, a lot of skill.

Can you give me some tips on how you keep, like, you keep the pace because I think when

you have these marathon weeks, I just find myself getting so authorgic and also when

you're out, like eating with coworkers and stuff, like you have to enjoy the food.

You have to engage in conversation like, how do you guys keep pace so that you can move

on to the next day?

Because I'm struggling a little bit, being at the end of the week.

So let me know your tips.

I asked a couple of my podcast friends and they recommended like raspberry tea, raspberry

leaf tea, althienine for focus, like some supplements, some B12, some magnesium, things

like that.

So I take supplements kind of, but I'm not great at it.

Like, I'm not a girl who has like the pillbox with like five million things, you know?

Oh, same.

I try to take my supplements, but like, it's not something that I regularly remember to

do.

But I've also had like a marathon week where I've had something like every day and this

is actually my light energy object is forcing yourself to hang out with friends and go out

even if it's the last thing you want to do because I'm, I've been exhausted all week.

My social battery has been zapped, but like you have to make an effort.

Otherwise, you know, those friendships, friendships take effort, basically.

So I've been forcing myself to not forcing myself, like I love hanging out with my friends,

but I've just packed so many plans into my past few weeks and oh, I saw this tweet that

I really like.

It says everyone wants a village, but no one wants to be a villager.

Drive your friends to the airport, go to their party, even when you're tired, stop canceling

last minute, host at your place, support the wins and losses.

It's worth every ounce of effort, which I thought was really interesting.

I feel like I've shifted my purse perspective because I feel like for so long, I'm like,

oh my god, I need to prioritize my mental health and I'm tired, which is also fair and

true.

Like, yes, prioritize your own.

If you are, you know, burnt out, please, by all means, stay in.

I feel like I did that a little too much for the past few years.

Yeah.

I totally get that.

It's so much easier to just say I'm comfortable right now.

I don't want to get up.

I don't want to leave the house, but I do feel like the juice is worth the squeeze.

And I came across something online of someone talking about how even though something may

feel like an inconvenience to you, like showing up to a baby shower or showing up to someone's

birthday party when you're just super tired from the week, like you'll always come back

more refreshed.

And I feel like it takes little effort to be like a good person to show up for your friends.

And I feel like it's, and that'll just come back and it'll reciprocate.

So I, I feel like it's good that you're getting yourself out there and you're going outside

and you're hanging out with friends, even though it's winter and New York City and it's

cool.

Well, it's been actually full spring, as they say, which is the fake spring before a real

spring.

So it was like 70 degrees in sunny for like two days in a row, which was incredible.

I actually laid out on my balcony with backster, which was really nice, but now it's back

to being winter.

It was snowing yesterday.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, you don't, you would never survive New York winter.

No, I can't even handle when it's, I can barely handle San Francisco when I live there.

Like that's too cold.

Didn't even snow.

Did I ever tell you?

I definitely told you the story when I visited my friend in San Francisco.

And I was like, oh, it's like July in California.

And I packed all like shorts and t-shirts.

No.

SF is consistently cold.

There's never a warm day, except in like one a couple weeks in September, oddly enough,

fall and SF is the warmest part season of the year.

I feel like California is like a different country than the rest of the country.

It's like so beautiful.

The climate is so interesting.

The coasts are so otherworldly.

And then you have like the rest of the country, and then you have Ohio.

Okay.

Now that you're saying that, do you remember that Patreon episode that we did about our

dating misadventures?

Yes.

Obviously.

Obviously.

Obviously.

It's my first Patreon.

I'm Nick Lise.

Obviously.

And remember I talked about that one guy went on a date like he flew to Carmel and we

like spent a weekend together or whatever.

Do you ever check up on like X's or like people you've dated to be like, oh, have they

had a wedding?

Like, are they married?

Do they have babies?

Oh, so I actually still follow on Instagram a lot of guys that I used to date or like hook

up with when I was pre-Henry when I was a single woman.

And I also have, and this is so embarrassing to admit, let me know if you guys have done

this too.

I shouldn't even admit this because it's so embarrassing.

I've searched like ones that I don't follow online that I remember their name.

I'm like, I wonder what he's up to.

I've Googled their name plus the term wedding website.

No.

Same.

So that's what I was telling you.

No jokes, Ovi.

That's what I was getting at because a lot of these guys don't have social media like.

So I can't even find them on Instagram.

So I've done the same exact thing.

So that's what I did with this one guy.

And for the record, for the record, I'm very happily married.

Kristie, you can attest to that.

Very happily married.

Oh, no, it's completely just curiosity.

Curiosity.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Absolutely.

I think every woman in man listening to this show, you guys are similar to us.

Like we're just perpetually online.

We're just nosy in general.

Yeah.

So like, we're going to go out and decide whether or not this person has gone married.

And then I need to know why that person I went to high school with got divorced.

Oh, I'm literally gone so far.

I was trying to find like Orange County public record.

Like what was the reason for the divorce?

No, that keeps me up.

And I am being serious.

Like all reach out to people from high school.

I haven't talked to many years.

Hey, how's it going?

Do you know why blah, blah, blah, blah and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

I noticed that he's not living in the city anymore with her and whatever.

Oh my God.

So what I'm getting to is that I found out, you know, this is the one time it worked.

I typed in first name, last name, wedding, love, all the photos came up.

Oh my God.

Yep.

I had myself at like, you know, 15 minutes of scrolling.

It was lovely.

You know, I was sweating like published in a publication or was it like his engagement

photos on his wedding wedding website?

It was it was the wedding photos from the photographer.

Oh, like the photographer had like an album on the website.

Mm-hmm.

A swatted time.

I was like, oh my God.

I was like, wow, he looks great.

A little bit older.

A little bit more salt and pepper.

But I'm so happy for him though.

I'm so happy for him.

You know what?

Happy ending.

As long as he deserved, did he deserve a happy ending?

I forgot.

It's fine.

Like, yeah, yeah.

No, I don't have issue.

Wait, I don't take issue.

Was he the one who am I allowed to say the welcome party theme?

Oh.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Whatever.

Don't say it, but yes.

Oh, never mind.

I won't say it.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

I feel like.

Yes.

A very interesting welcome party theme.

I remember you telling me.

Yeah.

Well, because it was in New York, New York, not New York City.

New York State, I think.

And I sense, I feel like, hey, do you heard of this?

And you're like, oh, never do it myself, but it's fine.

Not only my style, but that seems like it's fine.

Oh, my God.

Can I tell them the story about the credit card?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay.

So, Sophie and I, we wanted to give to one of the girls on our team something.

Sophie's like, oh, she's like, oh, she's like, my personal business.

Oh, you can use the business card.

It's fine.

Sophie's like, yeah, don't worry.

I got to take care of it.

You know, do you ever address?

It's a gift.

Have her address, whatever.

So, we're, we're, she, Sophie goes, you know, you sent me the business credit card a couple

of weeks ago, and I have yet to activate it.

I was like, oh, you can call like the number on the back of the car.

She goes, yep, done, activated, all set and ready to go all by right now.

So, she texts me and she goes, hey, like it's not working.

So, I'm going to use my personal credit card.

I was like, oh, okay, but did you call the number?

She goes, yeah, I did.

I did.

I'm waiting to have a Henry at home because I, I don't know why it's not working.

It's just weird.

And I was like, oh, okay.

Well, I guess to use a personal credit card, whatever.

I'm going to call their help desk later.

Like, it's fine.

And I was like, wait, wait, wait.

Did you put in like my zip code?

Because it's associated to my address.

No, I put my New York City address.

This is not a problem.

It's like, wait, no, no, no, like,

it's not working.

So, when does billing address actually matter?

You cannot convince me that billing address actually matters.

She literally verbatim goes, I didn't know billing address like had any

relevancy to the credit card.

Honestly, like, I feel like you could make up a billing address

in your credit card would still work.

So I was like, oh, no, no, no.

You're going to use like my address.

Well, that's definitely the problem because I activated it before.

I switched it to the voice of like the California Valley girl.

Two in one episode.

Oh, by the way, Carl Radke's podcasts, more life.

I feel like it's been coming up on my FYP and I'm like,

good for him.

He's kind of getting the juice.

I have not listened yet, actually.

Let us know you guys.

I saw that he interviewed Sierra and it seems like a really good interview.

But I have not had a chance to give it a listen.

I've just seen some highlights and some clips.

But I guess speaking of summer house,

should we jump into summer house?

Please.

OK, so the first thing that I want to say is that as you guys know,

I'm a certified West, not Hater.

I'm a West Truther.

I see through the performance, OK?

So as whole, like, I'm a little boy who doesn't know how crushes work

or anything.

I'm not buying, OK?

West only wants what he can't have.

And the fact that Jesse was hanging on to Sierra last episode,

now he's like, oh, shit, my boy is all over my ex-girlfriend.

I'm putting that in quotes and now I gotta jump back on it.

Yes, that's why.

Yes, so he now he wants Sierra because Jesse is interested.

And then also the fact, in my opinion,

that he knows that the audience wants him

to appreciate how amazing Sierra is.

Because the audience did not like it when he basically disposed of her

and trash talked her multiple times in front of the entire world.

So I think it's all performative.

Do I think that he's actually in love with Sierra?

No.

No.

Because he can't even say that he is a daytime crush on her.

He calls it a nighttime crush.

Like, it's so obvious that he either just wants to hook up,

satisfy the audience perception of him,

and also win over Jesse, in my opinion.

Yeah, I think you're spot on.

And I think that West, I actually was thinking about it

when I was watching the episode.

When they're filming, if I were in Sierra's position,

I would be like, are you doing this to like create the storyline?

Because you know that's what the audience wants to see,

a reconciliation between the two of us.

Like to me, you've talked about it so often.

West knows exactly what he's doing.

He's very, very intentional about what he shows on TV.

And I feel like behind the scenes,

he's probably dating so many girls.

I mean, he's been spotted with like so many different.

Women all over Duma, like every other week.

He and Sierra clearly aren't together.

And to me, the viewers are bravo, shipping them.

I'm like, do you have?

I saw, I hate to say this, but like, Candace,

you need to use discernment when it comes to West and Sierra.

He knows exactly what he's doing when it comes to his storyline

and pushing that storyline along.

Giving Sierra her flowers, knowing that she is so dreamy

and such a dream girl, and he needs to win over his boy.

Yeah, and it sounds like he doesn't make any effort

when cameras aren't rolling.

Like, it's literally only when they're in the summer house

when they're filming that he shows any interest.

And that's why she's like, okay, what?

Like, West suddenly has a crush on me.

Like, what?

And then also I want to talk about Bailey versus Ben.

So that was, I didn't like that.

I've rewatched this morning just to make sure I recollected

this entire scene correctly.

Did not like it.

So basically to recap, Bailey made a bad joke at dinner

because they were all going around

at Amanda's birthday dinner saying things they love about Amanda.

And Ben goes, well, I'm a smile and eyes guy.

And Bailey goes,

I think your eyes were so dead pin.

Well, you did that.

That was good.

Was that good?

Yeah, that was really good.

Oh, my gosh.

It really is way in.

Australian act.

Yeah, let us know.

Let us know.

I'll see listeners.

Australian accents are so fucking hard.

Like, I can't even attempt to do it for longer

than like three words.

But anyway, Bailey jumps in and goes,

oh, here we go.

Ben's going to say that he wants to sleep with Amanda.

Like, clearly a bad awkward joke.

But like, is she wrong?

Because they included flashbacks of Ben definitely

having a crush on Amanda.

As we know, they went skinny dipping together

and Italy, that's how they met.

It showed him getting her a towel

after like jumping in her brown underwear,

getting coffee for her,

clearly has a bit of a crush.

And then the way that Ben overreacted

and made her feel so much worse,

she clearly felt embarrassed and apologized.

And then he like kept like,

I don't know, digging his heels in about it.

I thought was very bizarre.

Yes, I felt very uncomfortable.

It wasn't like Ben was raising his voice at all.

It was this death stare that he was giving Bailey.

It was so, it almost felt like emotionally violent.

Is the only way I can describe it.

His eyes were scary.

No, they were.

I could see red and the only reason that reaction

or her comment would have listed in that reaction

is because he feels insecure

that everyone else is catching on

that he in fact has a crush on Amanda.

It was like the Lady Doth protest too much, you know?

Exactly, exactly.

And he even admitted on this episode

or maybe it was the one before, he's like, listen,

I was dating this girl before filming.

I told her I wanted to just have fun over the summer

and we can reconvene and she was like,

what are you talking about?

I'm not someone that's gonna wait for you

after you're done filming.

He's such a fuck boy and I was listening

to watch what happens and they were like,

he had a girlfriend the entire time.

He was just cosplaying as a single guy

so that he could be on the show.

Like I don't find Ben authentic at all

and the fact that he was even the bachelor

at one point, you're thirsty.

So it sounds like the girl that he was referring to

is the same girl that he's currently dating.

Oh, I don't know though.

Like I'm asking, like is that the case?

Because if he had a girlfriend all while filming

and he's talking about this girl

that he really liked but you know,

he wanted to be single for the summer.

Yeah, whatever it is, it's not a good look.

Like let's say he didn't have the girlfriend

the entire time of filming.

He still left this flame that he really cared about

to film and have a good summer and like,

I don't know, I don't know.

I, something about him feels very disingenuous.

I don't even know how he really came upon this group

to be honest and I feel like before this last episode,

he was just kind of there.

A handsome fella had an accent.

It was just kind of, you know, he was a okay addition

after this.

He just, I don't know.

I feel like the good thing about summer houses,

these men are usually, I don't want to say

like respectful women, they're no Southern term.

Like I feel like for the most part,

they're fun, they have real relationships

with the women on the cast.

Ben doesn't feel like he respects women.

That felt angry.

They don't usually yell at women

the way that Craig Connover does.

Right.

Unless, I mean, I guess Kyle,

yes, that's, yeah, I mean, I think if we,

like it's the better of both evils, I would say,

but we're thinking about Craig

and that's also a show we're gonna talk about as well.

The bars and hell, but you guys know what we mean.

Like Southern term is far worse

when it comes to men speaking to women

than summer houses.

And I feel like Ben better belongs on a show

like Southern term than he does on summer house.

Oh, that's the ultimate diss.

Shots fired.

I also want to talk really quickly about Kyle.

Literally at Amanda's birthday and are talking about

not having the money to invest in soft bar,

even though he says Carl invested $15,000 in lover boy.

And look, like no one is legally required

to invest in anything,

especially like I feel like Kyle and Carl's friendship

is probably not what it was at the time

that Carl invested in lover boy being honest

because remember how Kyle was demoted to flower boy

during what would have been Carl and Lindsay's wedding.

So I don't think it's that big of a deal in my opinion.

And it's also very clear that lover boy is not doing well.

So I totally believe him that, you know,

he's like, I just don't have the funds.

And also like at the time everyone was like,

soft bar is a stupid idea.

Soft bar seems to be doing well,

but like no one thought it was gonna be like,

you know, successful.

And I mean, Jerry's Jury's still out if it is honestly,

but it seems to be doing well.

But in that same breath,

he whips out a $9,000 cardier watch for Amanda.

And then he's like, look everyone,

look husband of the year.

Did you see that?

You can tell.

And I like that you wrote this out on the note.

He made the watch gifting moment all about him.

It was not about a man getting what she wanted.

Rather it was like, look how good of a husband.

Yes, because also I was like,

why are you giving this in front of everyone?

First of all, you were just talking about how,

you know, you had to invest $500,000 in love or more.

And therefore you do not have the money

to invest in soft bar and, oh my God.

And then also like giving a luxury gift to your spouse

seems like something that's like a private moment.

A great.

And it shouldn't be like a group dinner.

Unless you're PK and you gift to read like a Maserati.

PK.

It was me and PK were both were.

I'm in sort of with the kids and the grandparents.

But no, I think that Kyle made that moment all about him.

And Amanda made a comment on that episode.

Now that I got the watch, I can leave him.

And yeah, love that.

Yeah, people were saying she knew after filming,

she was done with this relationship.

That was her Freudian slip.

Oh, I love that.

I love that.

Can we talk about Southern charm?

I have to admit, I really like Sally.

Like, I know that's a hot take

because I know that she's one of the most heated women

on Bravo right now.

People find her creepy, weird, throwing herself at men.

And yes, all those things are true,

but I think we got to bring back authenticity

to our reality TV screens.

And while I do think she is all those things,

I really respect her for being honest.

I do think she's handing it up for the camera,

so 1 million percent when she was left

at that Carolina Day party and Austin

was like, through the gate, she was like, I like you.

Why was that so cinematic?

It was so cinematic.

Because it was like a light totally on her face.

And he was like, through the fence, holding the fence.

Yeah, but he even made a comment, I think recently,

of Sally and I are not as hot and heavy

as she's leading you to believe.

Oh, he saw that recently.

Yes, yes, because they've been filming TikToks

and they have been hanging out,

but I feel like Sally is playing into the storyline

that was filmed however many months ago for cameras right now,

even though it's probably a friendship,

friends with benefits thing.

But I think if they really were dating,

we would know about it by now.

I mean, I feel like it's pretty obvious

that he doesn't see her as a real prospect.

Agreed.

I don't think he has, unfortunately, the most respect for her.

It seems like, and I think it's because she throws himself

at him.

But, okay, so Sally, I totally see what you're saying

with Sally because I actually do appreciate she's a chaos agent.

And we talk all the time about how chaos agents

are sometimes a necessary evil for bravo shows.

Kristen Dodie is one, Lindsay Hubbard is one.

Lindsay obviously has calmed down a lot this season

since becoming a mom to baby Gemma.

Yeah.

But Ramona Singer, I feel like is when I'm rewatching Brony

as you guys know, I feel like Ramona is such a chaos agent.

So I feel like Sally definitely falls into that category

because she has this kind of lack of self awareness.

She is not so aware of the cameras in my opinion.

And you said, you're like, I feel like she's playing it up

a little bit, which I do agree with to some extent.

But I don't think she's trying to manage audience

perception of her, which I feel like a lot of,

I feel like Heather Gay is a good example of that

in Salt Lake City.

There are a lot of people that you can tell

that they're like very, very, very careful

of braw as well.

Yeah, West Wilson, that's my criticism of West.

So I love how, you know, page, yeah.

I love how authentic she seems to be.

Doesn't really give a fuck if the audience likes her or not.

I will say don't love how she gave away the chickens.

I mean, I'm glad that they're, you know,

in a better place except the one

that got eaten by a snake apparently.

Oh my God.

Yeah, like it makes me sad when like real animals

are involved in someone's bullshit.

Yeah, I mean, you can't just re-home something

when it becomes inconvenient.

It's adopting animals is a commitment period.

It like makes me really sad for the chickens.

And I know that I'm not like a vegetarian.

So does that make me a hypocrite?

I don't know, but like it does.

Chickens, like if you're getting a chicken as like a pet,

then like that's your, that's your child now.

In my opinion.

Right, I was actually kind of shocked

that she decided to show that like film that.

I don't know, it made me really upset.

But I will say also that I really grew to like

Charlie this season a lot.

I loved how she dumped Craig at the end.

Like obviously that made me really happy.

Yeah.

Wait, but I have something to say about that breakup.

What?

Do you feel like they were leaving their story open ended

because it seemed like they still had this like fire

for one another even when she was breaking up with him?

Oh my God, I completely disagree.

I think if anything, but I thought you're gonna say

is that it was never real for her to begin with

because you see in the reunion preview

that like Sally, I think it is,

says Charlie, you were talking to other guys

while you were letting Craig and Craig goes,

you were leading me on.

Yeah, I did.

And she was like, we went on two dates.

So I think that she was never fully

that interested in him to begin with.

I think maybe it was like a storyline,

but I love that she drew the line either way

at the Mexico incident

where he screamed at Sally.

Like she was like, no, like we're just friends now,

purely just friends.

And of course, his first reaction is to blame Sally

for Charlie dumping him, even though Charlie dumped him

because of his behavior.

And it wasn't anything like Sally did.

Zero, zero, yeah.

And I loved, did you love how Austin called about on that?

Yeah, he was like, you can't look at yourself in the mirror.

You can't be honest with yourself, there's no self awareness.

Yeah.

And I feel like the reason why Craig can't

has so much beef with Austin is because Austin

behaves as a mirror towards his behavior.

Austin is no longer letting him get away

with the things he's historically gotten away with on this show.

He is the main character.

People do give him a lot of grace, including Andy Cohen,

but I was really proud of Austin

for literally calling it as he saw it

and as the audience sees it and happens seeing it.

Yeah, he called him out for having an anger problem,

never knowing how to take accountability.

And I was like, oh my God, I feel like you're being a proxy check.

Yeah, being a proxy for the audience right now.

Like I really appreciated that.

And I feel like that's why I always have a little bit

of a soft spot for Austin compared to at least, you know,

I mean, the bars and hell for Southern term guys.

Between Chef Craig and Austin, Austin definitely

is far more grounded in reality.

And Craig has, we've said this so many times

on this show, especially this season, the mask has slipped.

He was on his best behavior with Paige

and I think he's really going through it with his breakup.

And I think that at this point, I understand

when you're going through something difficult,

whether it be a breakup, a family issue,

problems will feelings, really difficult feelings

are going to start bubbling up,

but it's up to you as an adult man who's 36, 37,

to really like process those feelings

and not let them lash out in a way that is violent and scary.

The boy that people of deem Tim quote unquote scary

across many seasons, you have a problem.

Like if we can see it on film,

I don't even want to know what they're seeing behind.

Like what we're not seeing, you know,

if he's a scary person and that's definitely why Paige left him.

And do you remember last season when Paige made a comment?

Just remember, if I ever need to escape the middle of the night,

she's alluding to the fact that he gets to go any drinks.

Yeah, and remember that one deem we got

from someone who deembed with Paige

and said, you inspired me to break up

with my alcoholic boyfriend and Paige said,

you know, I kept picturing by me and my kids upstairs.

Well, he's downstairs drunk.

And I think that his alcohol problem is anger issues,

definitely had something to do with her

choice to leave him.

But also in the reunion preview,

didn't you love how he's like,

I don't even know if I'm coming back anymore,

like threatening to leave the show

as if he would ever leave the show.

Like he is way too much of an narcissist.

And he also, it's like what is sowing down South without a show,

you know, you made a comment a couple dark energy Tuesdays ago

and I've actually been thinking about it

as I've been watching these shows about men on bravo

whose entire creators and life pads are altered.

The second that they get on reality television.

And I think about, I juxtaposed that with the women on bravo

and how they take their careers on reality television

to like a whole different level by hosting and like ventures,

like different independent brands, businesses exactly.

And I think with men, obviously the consumer economy

or the creator economy is far different for women.

But I think with men, they're not able to monetize

in the same way that women are when they're on reality TV.

So they actually just take a different path

of more drinking, more partying, more women.

Yes. And also, it's because bravo is such a women centric network.

Exactly.

And these street guys will like look at all these fans of bravo

con treating me like I'm, you know, palm of a cart.

No, yeah.

Seriously.

I love how you said Justin Bieber.

I said palm of a cart.

Same thing.

Same thing.

I want to move on to this Timothy Shalamy situation

because also the Oscars are this weekend, should we?

Okay.

So we have a Patreon episode that is that we're recording

after this.

Should we like do, and I'm talking to you, like we're not like

on the mic right now, should we do an Oscars emergency press

conference?

I was going to say a business runner is like live chat.

Ooh, that could be fun too.

Okay.

TV to you guys.

We will let you know at snarkbait pod what our Oscars

coverage will look like because we definitely want to talk

about that because we look like because it'll be in the past.

Oh, my God.

You're right.

Yeah.

Well, I was so, you guys, I'm so stupid.

We're recording on Friday, March 13th, like we said.

So we're in the past, but hopefully you follow us at snarkbait

pod because we will always post, you know, any sort of breaking

emergency press conference, any sort of Patreon live chat on our

Instagram because sometimes those happen at the last minute.

In this case, clearly, um, so we will have some sort of Oscars

coverage for you if it hasn't already happened, but he's getting

a lot of heat and people are now saying this is going to impact

his Oscar awards.

Do you think that?

I don't know how this works.

Like, do they already pay?

Okay.

So elect Oscar voting is done.

And Oscar voting was done basically before this whole

controversy was, which I think is really overblown honestly.

If you guys missed it, Timothy did like this interview with

Matthew McConaughey where he said, I don't want to be, you know, uh, in

charge of reviving a dying art, like opera and ballet that no one

cares about anymore.

And sorry if I offended you, though, that'll cost me about 84 cents

in business.

Like, it was like obnoxious, but also like, he was making a point

that like he doesn't want the movies to become a dying art.

And he's not wrong about like, when was the last time you

went to an opera or a ballet?

Like, unfortunately, it's not, you know, and the New York, like opera

house and the New York City ballet and all of these different, like,

celebrity is all came out and they were like, have some respect to

me.

Doja Cat.

And then doja Cat was like, I'm sorry for jumping on the band

bag.

That was really performative of me because kind of the tide started

churn everyone was like, he was making like a decent point.

It was just the delivery was kind of obnoxious.

Like, I feel like he, it's a culmination of him being really cocky

during his Marty Supreme tour.

And then also the Josh Safty stuff where Josh Safty was accused.

And Josh Safty is the director of Marty Supreme.

Yeah.

And there was a movie where an underage actress was basically

assaulted during filming and it was not.

Marty Supreme?

No, not Marty Supreme was another Josh Safty movie.

And Josh Safty apparently did not yell cut or step in when this

happened.

And it was a whole expose that I think is more likely to affect the

Marty Supreme, not just Timothy's chances, but Marty Supreme in

general.

Um, so yeah, I mean, I feel like it's kind of been blown out of

proportion, but will his bad press in general?

And I think also the Kylie Jenner relationship.

Yes.

I was going to say that there's a chance that is like according

to Polly Market, at least Michael B Jordan is the favorite

now to win.

Yeah.

Disagree, I think that his arrogance in that interview with

Matthew McConaughey was very, very strong, um, watching.

And I was like, to your point, I, I'm like, fearful that we're

going to say this and people are going to say, like, we love

opera, we love that.

Like we're not hating on these art forms at all.

We're just saying it objectively.

And this is, this is the issue.

Sometimes when you're a public figure, right, you can say one

thing in an isolation.

If you're having a conversation with like co-workers or friends,

I don't think anyone at a dinner would disagree with you by

saying, oh, yeah, like the opera is still alive and well.

I think that it's just like more of a dying art.

Um, people aren't going as frequently unless you're like

a lover of the arts and totally respect opera and ballet.

Yeah, we're going to have the people being like, you don't know

Bobby bone.

No, I don't, I'm like, fearful to even say this because I'm like,

scared what people are going to say.

But like, I think you guys understand what we're saying.

It's like if Tim D'Shaume was a co-worker and we were having

dinner and he's like, oh, I'm glad that we're part of an

industry account and see that's not going to die as quickly as

opera ballad.

You wouldn't necessarily get offended.

But I think people are so quick to jump on a bandwagon and then

they hate him already because he's dating a Kardashian.

He was so arrogant on the, um, on the press tour for Marty

Supreme, he was coming this arrogant atroda.

We can't relate to any more like off with his head.

And it's like, I think we understood what he meant, but his

delivery was undoubtedly arrogant and conceited.

I mean, people's brains are broken.

I feel like maybe a person's COVID where it's just we live in

like a cycle of, of outrage culture.

And do we play into it?

Absolutely.

We're not exempt from it.

But it seems like, you know, hello.

Yeah, it's like we're we're outraged constantly.

Yeah.

You guys know where.

Yeah.

So I feel like it's just the culture that we live in now is to

find a new target every week and not to say that I'm like, oh,

poor Timothy, he's going to be just fine.

He's like the biggest movie star in the world.

He's going to be fine.

He will, if he doesn't win an Oscar for Marty Supreme, he will win

an Oscar eventually.

I guarantee it.

Did you ever end up seeing Marty Supreme?

No.

So the character is not likable.

And he's actually extremely, extremely grating and cocky.

And so I feel like that was also like part of his crest

tour for the movie was him like being Marty Supreme and being

this cocky character.

A little bit meth that I guess I didn't see it as like super genuine.

I thought it was kind of like a bit honestly.

So that's why I wasn't like ours.

And also I'm a diehard Timothy Chalamet stand.

So like, I know that I'm probably like, I'm giving him the benefit of it

out, but I'm curious to hear what you guys think about this whole scenario.

Yeah, yeah, I think it's, it's not as deep as I think people are

as outrageous as they are on the internet.

I don't think it's as deep as that.

But yeah, I put in my notes here.

I'm like, do you know how many accounting jokes I like come as

trays?

Like accounts are boring.

I don't, I never once have I gone and sold it or like people

saying, pop culture is vapid.

I don't take that personally.

Okay.

Like if you think that that's your opinion, that's my opinion.

Like I don't care.

Like I just don't care what people have to say about it.

Like, okay.

Well, then that's, there needs to be tariffs on podcasts.

Equipment, yeah, like people were saying podcasts were a dying

or I wouldn't, I don't want to be like, yeah, I'm like, okay.

Well, that's fine if you think that, but we're so, I'm curious.

But you guys think also like the amount of people that are like a

journalism degree, because I made it in journalism.

Oh, what are you going to do with that?

Exactly.

Exactly.

It's like, you know, how many trays of you and I hit for our line of work?

And I never once say that I get offended.

It just is what it is.

And jokes on you guys because AI can only do

so much when it comes to the written word.

Yeah, there you go.

Exactly.

No, but you know what I mean?

I feel like the jobs that are being unfortunately taken by AI, I feel like

a lot of them are the jobs that you would think were the safest to like

engineering or like computer, like software.

Yeah.

And all these in those were like the safe degrees to get that are the ones

that are being and then like the jokey degrees that everyone made fun of

like journalism for some reason, AI has not been able to master the written

word quite yet.

Everyone knows when someone has written something in AI.

But either way, nefarious.

Yeah, but I have to admit, I do love myself some Claude.

Oh, man, you and Henry Henry loves to applaud too.

No, but it's like, it's so good.

If you're an Excel, Claude is like, oh my god, that's what Henry's been doing

with it.

He's like, he's teaching it like how to like format and like spread

things.

Yes, it is.

I've never seen anything like it.

Like it's magic.

Sorry, a bit of a sidebar.

But yeah, sorry about that sidebar about AI, but anyway, speaking of like

celebrities in the hot seat, I want to quickly talk about this chapel

room thing.

Did you see this?

Yeah.

I mean, when is she not in the hot seat, though?

This is like every new story every week.

It's chapel room pissed, chapel running.

I feel like she, she really clearly hates being famous.

I guess.

Okay.

So for context, she was at Paris Fashion Week.

And there were like two photographers taking pictures of her to paparazzi.

And I get that paparazzi are really obnoxious for celebrities and really

invasive.

There was one video recently of Dua Lipa and Callum Turner where these

paparazzi were following them around Paris.

And Callum's like, please leave us alone.

And you could tell that it was really getting to them.

So I completely understand that paparazzi are frustrating.

Chapel was filming the paparazzi like with her cell phone instead of just like

walking into the restaurant.

Yeah, you hate it so much, but then you want to like take a tick talk with us.

Like, what do you mean?

It was like, just walk away, like walk inside.

And I just, I don't know, there's something that I think is a little bit

greeting about the way that she acts like she, she's always angry about the

fact that she's famous, but she doesn't need to be famous.

There is a world where you can make art anonymously.

And also if you, if you hate being famous and I saw this about like Joe

Burrow, I remember the exact same thing.

He went to Paris Fashion Week, but he complains about like, he just wants his

privacy.

And I love Joe Burrow.

It's like not a dig against him.

And I love Chapel Runs music, but it's like if you hate being famous so much,

then like, say home, you don't have to go to Paris Fashion Week, you know?

Yeah.

And unfortunately, that's the price you literally have to pay to make as much

money as everyone of these celebrities are earning.

Like it just comes with the territory.

And I understand you don't necessarily know or understand what it is.

I can tell you have to experience it yourself.

And I have no doubt that it is so mentally taxing, but then at that point,

it's like, maybe I don't know the way that you engage with paparazzi.

Don't feed into it because then it's going to make you resent your, your, your job

even more by like getting angry.

She's putting too much energy.

I think in the anger of like her job, then I feel like if she were to just let it

be, she would feel a lot more satisfied with the role.

Of course, me coming from like, I'm a nobody and saying this about her.

I have no doubt it was like, it will be so hard, but like Chapel, you feed into it

too. So I can't really feel too badly for you.

Yeah, I kind of just miss when famous people like enjoyed being famous.

Like they know that they like the best gig.

And I know, obviously again, like the paparazzi and the invasion of privacy

would be so difficult.

But like you got to be glamorous and wealthy and adored and all of these

things that people dream about.

You got to make your art and make millions from it.

Yeah.

You get to go to like Paris Fashion Week, like I don't know.

It just seems like just like enjoy it for what it is.

Obviously it comes with its cons, but there are so many pros.

And it's just she always seems so miserable about the fact that she's famous,

but she doesn't have to be.

People were also saying they're like, Chapel, you don't even know what it's like

to be famous.

Like pretty, pretty speeders.

Yeah.

I was going to say Britney Spears 2005 to two like 1999 to 2007.

She couldn't even take a breath.

No, cameras like being up her nose.

And it was like 40 paparazzi at once.

She couldn't even go through a drive through without literally people

like jumping on her windshield.

Yeah.

This was literally like one, maybe two paparazzi.

Right.

Like they have no idea.

And I saw some tweets also that were like,

Britney needed someone like chapel.

And it's like, what?

No, like chapel's not affecting any sort of change here.

No, I agree.

It just is a little bit tired.

I'm like, she's so talented and I absolutely love chapel runs music.

But it almost she taints her image by being so like upset all the time.

And it, I don't know.

I think this is a little fatigued.

This is another thing where I'm curious what you guys think.

Yeah, I think we feel we don't feel as badly because it's like,

look at the amount of money that you're earning, right?

And it's like you have the choice to not attend these high profile events.

If you hate it so much or higher security to literally,

I remember when I went to the VMAs in 2012, 2011,

as like a sea filler, when you saw Britney and Beyonce,

you couldn't even see them because there were so many security surrounding them.

Yeah.

Like you could see the top of their head.

She has enough wealth, I assume, to maybe she's not a Beyonce or a Britney,

but like you could earn some, you know, you, you had the funds for sure, for sure.

Um, okay.

I would really quickly want to touch on Alex Cooper hosting the Hannah Montana reboot.

I'm curious what your thoughts are because I know that you watched Hannah Montana.

I did not.

So this reboot to me, like really has no relevancy and like minus

algebra, my mind, but for you, hearing the Alex Cooper is hope of this reboot.

What are your thoughts on that?

I mean, I'm kind of just like, I'm so used to it at this point.

It's like, they don't realize that other media personalities exist.

Like I feel like Alex Cooper is literally just hired for everything,

even though everyone, I feel like unanimously agrees that she's not really

got her job.

Okay.

I'm so glad you're bringing this up because we talk about this all this time on the show.

And there is this perspective that I came across that I was like, that makes so much sense.

Alex Cooper was never a position to be a Barbara Walters or a Diane Sawyer.

She was never meant to disarm her interview.

We, she was never meant to make them vulnerable.

She was there to propose the softball questions to make it a really nice and

safe environment for these celebrities to come on and promote whatever it is.

They're promoting like she wasn't intended to be a good interviewer at all.

It's just a safe space for celebrities.

And I think that's why she is so successful.

It's, it's not for interviewing techniques at all.

It's to promote those softball questions.

PR.

Yeah.

It's literally PR for celebrities.

It's not like you said, it's not going to be a Barbara Walters situation.

It's literally just what do you want to promote?

What, you know, positive stories do you want to put out into the press?

And yeah, that's it.

No follow up questions, no hard hitting, you know, questions.

It's just, yeah.

And I, I think that she is the best when we hear the term industry plant,

I think she actually is a very good like poster child for that because at the end

of the day, it is.

You don't have Kamala Harris or Michelle Obama or Hillary Doff,

people all saying go to Alex Cooper's call her daddy unless she

wrote an industry plant.

And again, I think Matt Kaplan has something a huge part of that because he is

so well versed in the industry.

I love how you just want Kamala Harris.

Michelle Obama, Hillary Doff, no, what I mean by that is like the biggest

but they are, they are like someone like random like Hillary Doff.

You know, like she interviews all types of people and it's like,

what do they all have in common?

They all want to have their first interview with Alex Cooper, like,

make a make sense.

She's an industry plant.

I think we can all agree on that.

Did you also see that clip of her on the Burnouts podcast,

which I think is like Bill Gates's daughter's or whatever?

Oh my god, he said what does wait?

If you want to work hard, if you don't want to work hard,

then don't come to Unwell.

And then someone, a baby's in our message, Justin,

she goes, why is this giving?

Maybe if you had a business, you were passionate about the, you know,

literally he does.

It literally doesn't also like, why are you actually like Unwell is where

people go to thrive?

Like all of these podcasts that went to Unwell, no one hears about them anymore.

It's where podcasts go to die.

And oh, this is the perfect segue actually into something that's not on our

list, but we were talking about recently is that Serena Pitt and

Gerstry Sorgeau were signed to a new pop culture.

They previously hosted like the, the Bachelor of Party podcast.

Yeah.

And it was like literally ABC sponsored podcast.

And I have listened to them on podcasts before.

And I think they're really boring and don't have a good dynamic.

And that's personally, that's just my opinion.

But they were for some reason given this pop culture podcast under

Unwell called not married to that or something.

And I thought was so interesting because Unwell's daily pop culture show

that was, was on Sirius and it had three hosts, three female hosts whose

names I don't have on hand right now.

One of them was a pretty big or is a big commentator on TikTok when

it comes to pop culture.

That show got canceled.

Yeah, I have no idea that Serena Pitt and Grocery Story, Joe were still in

the mix. To be honest, the last time I heard their name was back in I think

in 2018 when I used to watch the Bachelor of Franchise and Bachelor in Paradise.

Let's leave them there.

Yeah, I just don't even understand why Unwell would sign them.

But yeah, to your point, what podcasts under the Unwell media network do

we listen to every week besides call her daddy?

Alex Cooper could never have a podcast that is better than hers or succeeds.

Like it has better downloads.

It's just so weird because I remember when they announced that daily pop culture

show, everyone was like, Oh my God, a daily pop culture show.

I never listened to it because I don't have Sirius.

So like, I don't know, was the dynamic not good?

It's like, it was around for less than a year.

And then it was just canceled.

Yes, the one with like the three girls.

Are you talking?

Yes, yes, it had the three girls.

And that was like going to be their new pop.

We actually, I remember we were like, Oh my God, we have competition.

Like we were like, Oh my God, Unwell is doing this is going to like blow up.

It's going to be a daily pop.

No, it was canceled.

It was canceled.

It was going to be like the toes and apparently one of the hosts like made

comments, like very vague comments about Unwell, Alex Cooper, not being

supportive of the show.

And now they hand Serena Pitt and Grocery Shor Joe a pop culture show.

Is if anyone is asking for that?

It's involves why it genuinely?

What kind of like moves are they making?

I'm just like so confused by.

And then she has the audacity to go on this podcast and be like, if you don't

want to work hard, don't come to Unwell.

And it's like, well, like who is thriving at Unwell?

I'm so confused.

I feel like she's talking about Unwell.

That is the brand, like the drinks and the media events and stuff like that.

But like, she doesn't give one shit about any of the podcasts because she doesn't

want any of them to like overshadow hers.

People say the same about Nick Viles media network.

I forgot what it's called.

Oh, NV media, which speaking of which, well, I'm like, he's so, I know I hate

him.

One of my dark energy objects is that new Netflix show, Age of Attraction.

So I refused to watch it because it's hosted by Nick and Natalie.

And it's also also a disgusting premise.

It's basically normalizing like creepy age gaps.

It's taking like 21 year olds and like 70 year olds.

And it's kind of like love is blind, but they're age blind.

So I think it's gross.

I'm boycotting it.

One of my girlfriends texted me and she was like, you know what?

I can't resist.

I'm gonna, I'm going to check it out.

She gave up after one episode because she said it was so boring.

And I'm like, so not only do they have a problematic premise,

problematic host, but they're also boring.

It was funny.

I stopped by my mom's house yesterday.

And Age of Attraction was playing.

I was like, man, she was watching it.

Yeah, it's like, Nance, like, what are you doing?

But I didn't even ask her what she thought of it.

But I was like, huh, but I was talking to Rachel or social manager.

And we were both like, we'll probably watch this.

I'll give it a shot just because I'm very, very curious.

And I hate to give Nick and Natalie demos.

But you know, I'm going to do it for the craft and for the podcast.

Just to report that I think you should maybe that, that could be a good

Patreon episode, actually.

Yeah, yeah, because I refuse to watch it.

Yeah.

health. And I know plenty of you millennial baby

are probably having similar aha moments.

I take my role very seriously.

I may not be responsible for keeping her alive, but I am responsible for

being her favorite and gifting her amazing pajamas.

And here's the thing if there's anything I know about Miss Mel and other

babies in general, if they're uncomfortable, they will let you know.

sleepies first fabric.

dressed easier instead of a full contact sport.

Um, speaking of dark energy objects, uh, do you want to do want to get into those?

Yeah. Um, again, I just, I feel like I've had a week and I'm in my

loodial phase of my cycle.

And I just feel like I'm sensitive.

I'm craggy.

I have a hormonal chin acne and I feel bloated, distended physically unwell,

emotionally unwell, like water things that help you guys.

And don't just say like drink water and get us said, like, I know, like,

I need tangible things like more supplements, something because I'm just like

not well this week.

Yeah.

Chrissy, you were, uh, texting me about this and I was like, I don't know.

Like my cycles are always very mild.

Other than my period, I do get like really crampy, but like for the most

part, I feel like my personality.

I'm always like a hormonal bitch.

So I don't notice, I don't notice my personality shift or my symptom shift

throughout the month.

But yeah, Chrissy was like, I need tangible solution.

So it was like a heating pad.

I don't know.

I know.

I'm watching, I'm doing the heating pad right now.

I actually love, I've recently discovered heating pads.

I don't know what took me so long.

Even if I don't have like cramps or anything, I just love having like a

warm thing next to me every night.

Yes.

Yes.

It's very comforting and like, self care.

Yeah.

Exactly.

What's yours?

Uh, okay.

So one of mine is, and I understand why they do.

But when coffee shops close like too early in the late afternoon slash

evening, because sometimes I do want like an evening latte or hot chocolate

or pastry, especially when we like record in the evenings, I like want

like a little pick me up.

Like I feel like it's like sometimes I do want like an evening because that

weird, uh, no, last night, I actually was on the hunt.

So one of my favorite coffee shops, if you guys live in the city, I don't

know if this is like a national chain, but I know they have a few locations

in the city, Olenstein, and it's like, um, it's like Nordic, I guess where

they have like a bunch of like fancy Nordic type pastries.

I don't know the best hot chocolate.

The best they have something called a chocolate bun, which is basically

like a dinner roll with chocolate chips in it that I'm obsessed with.

I was craving that last night.

And I understand again, why coffee shops close at seven on weekdays.

It's like, who is there?

They open at 6 a.m.

That's when they make the most money is in the morning, but I was like, I

really, really, really want like a pastry and a hot chocolate right now.

So I actually found this one place on the upper east side.

If you guys are on the upper east side, um, uh, oh my god.

Now I can't find the name of it.

Of course, La, okay, I found it.

La bombonera bomb bomb.

I don't know if I'm pronouncing that right.

But it's like a wine bar slash cafe.

So it's like the wine bar part, it's open late.

And then they also have their coffee, their hot chocolate, their pastries.

I love that found it.

I was so thrilled.

Um, but yeah, I just implore coffee shop owners.

If you're listening to us, I understand why you close early in the evening,

but some of us are like night owls.

Yeah, I totally know what you mean by just wanting a pastry midday.

I'm like constantly craving an almond croissant.

No matter what time of the day you would.

I love an almond croissant.

I don't like that.

They're my favorite pastry.

I always want like chocolate.

I want something like chocolate.

You know what?

I don't like it, but Peno chocolate.

Yeah.

No, no, no.

I want like an almond croissant.

I love like the like kind of like stuff inside.

Oh, I mean, you would love Olanstein.

When you come to the city, I'm taking you there.

They have like just every sort of pastry you could ever imagine.

And savory ones, they've like cheddar, jalapeno, like scones.

Oh my god, it just love a pastry.

Yeah, I'll be there in June.

Let's do it.

Let's do it.

Speaking of, do you want to announce our special guest for LA show?

Cause cats out of the bag.

Oh, no, we did.

We did.

On I forgot which episode last week, we did.

But in case you guys missed it, Ryan Bailey is our guest of honor at our LA show on May 15th.

So don't forget to get tickets at xmonertima.com slash snarkbait.

If you will be in the LA area and you want to meet trigger warning, Ryan Bailey or us,

but like I know that Ryan is going to be the hot commodity.

So yeah, what are your dark energy objects?

Do you have any other ones?

My loodial face.

Oh, your loodial face.

Okay.

Yeah.

Light energy objects.

This just felt very appropriate given the week I just had.

I just need to sleep in.

Like I literally need to have a day where I sleep until 1 p.m.

Okay.

At once away, like back off out of the way out of the way.

Sometimes it's just necessary.

Yeah.

So I like need today to be over to be honest.

Like love you guys, but like I need the work day to be over.

You know, we're almost there.

Yeah.

Let's see what's yours.

Oh, I said it at the top of the episode.

Seeing, forcing myself to see friends, even when all I want to do is like go home after work.

And I'm really tired.

It's always worth it.

Again, friendships take work.

And I feel like so many of us have become complacent with being homebodies and being

especially in the winter.

I totally get why in the winter, nobody wants to leave their house.

And like I'm included in that.

But I just want to remind everyone that like that tweet said, actually,

let me credit that person who tweeted that I just realized I didn't.

Everyone like wants a village, a Dell block, a Dell underscore block.

The L O C H ever wants a village, but no one wants to be a villager.

So if you want a village, you have to be a villager.

That's amazing.

I was like, was it Marilyn Monroe?

We're talking about all of like the fake quotes attributed to Marilyn Monroe.

Like, let's give me a break.

Like back in 2009, when we all of us, she said like everything inspiring.

I'd rather be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.

Yeah.

Like she didn't say that shut up.

She didn't say that.

Okay.

We love you guys so much.
