21:40Danielle Bernstein:I want to go into our next topic though about Hallie Batchelder on the Extra Dirty podcast, which is under the umbrella of Unwell. You posted a clip from Instagram Reels onto our snarkbait pod Instagram at snarkbait pod on Instagram if you don't already follow us. But Sophie, I have never seen so many DMs from our listeners of people being absolutely appalled by what she was saying on this clip. And I need you to tell our listeners if they haven't gotten a chance, what the hell was going on? Oh my God. This is actually infuriating and irresponsible and just disgusting. Like one of the most infuriating things that I can think of, honestly, that we have recently covered.

22:22So Hallie Batchelder, like Chrissy said, hosts the Extra Dirty podcast, which is under the Unwell Network. And in this clip, I did not listen to the whole episode. It's just the clip that was circulating on TikTok and Instagram reels. She is making fun of condoms. She basically says, to paraphrase this clip, that she has recently reentered her hoe era, her words, and complained that the last two guys she fucked this month, also her words, wanted to wear condoms. And she says she's offended by the condom epidemic. I'm allergic, is what she said. The condom epidemic. She says it kills the mood when they're looking for condoms.

23:01She said, I don't want to have your weird offspring baby. My IUD is stronger than Zeus. Babe, pregnancy should be the least of your worries in this situation and IUDs do not protect from STIs. Oh my God. It's so crazy. So she basically says, one, it kills the mood when they're looking for condoms. And she said that basically she's saying, one, it kills the mood when they're looking for condoms. What the hell?

23:30Danielle Bernstein:What are you talking about? No. Sorry. I know. I know. It's crazy. Two, that she has an IUD. So like, it's fine. And then she goes, three, are you calling me a whore? Are you trying to protect yourself from STIs I might have? Literally, yes. A lot of them don't have symptoms, first of all. Are you regularly getting checked, Hallie? And you just said, so she's basically like, you're slut shaming me. You're calling me a whore because you want to wear a condom with me. But she just said that she entered her hoe era. Yeah. And I feel when I watched this clip, she was very focused on my IUD is stronger than Zeus.

24:12Danielle Bernstein:Being pregnant is not going to happen. It's like condoms aren't just there to prevent pregnancy. Condoms are there to protect you from diseases that could potentially, in the worst case scenario, kill you. So what are you even talking about? like she's just failing to she just is glazing over the fact of like condoms being used to prevent STIs she is so gross and I feel like the only reason I even know who she is besides being Alex Cooper's newest sidekick when Alex Earl didn't work out for Alex Cooper is the fact that like didn't her and Wes Wilson engage in some hookup allegedly anal yeah allegedly anal which is fine I am not slut shaming anyone.

24:55Good for her for being open about sex and having multiple partners, but she's not being safe about it, which is worth shaming. Because it's not just, it's one thing if you want to be lax about your own health, but she is shaming men who are trying to protect themselves and be safe with their own health, which is bad. And like you said, like some STDs can, God forbid, cause cancer. Yeah. Cause infertility, cause death. This is not something and they don't even have symptoms every single time. It's just mind-boggling. So irresponsible. So dangerous. So pick me, honestly. And she told an anecdote about the guy she was hooking up with a few weeks ago and he was looking for a condom and she goes, look at you looking for a condom and how it ruins the mood.

25:40And why do you need one? And he said, you know, I'm practicing safe, responsible sex and boundaries. And she goes, blah, blah, blah, blah. I'm like, first of all, if a guy is looking for a condiment saying that he's trying to practice responsible sex and boundaries, like that is a turn on. That should be a turn on. Oh, my God. She sounds like a guy who's trying to pressure you into having unprotected sex. It's wrong on both ends. Men are known to do this. But even a woman doing this to a man, that's toxic and really dangerous also. And the fact that she's like proudly telling the story like it's funny and something to be proud about is so scary to me.

26:20She also said that this incident gave her the ick and she has not talked to this man since, all because he wanted to wear a condom.

26:28Danielle Bernstein:What does she think she's achieving by admitting all of this on her show? Are you trying to be funny? Is this a comedic thing? Are you rage baiting us? It has to be rage bait because I don't understand why she would even recount this, regale us with this story. It's so stupid. I feel like it has to be either rage bait or she's trying to be chosen. like she is the ultimate cool chill girl she doesn't need condoms you guys she's just chill she'll just you know I don't know it's so fucked it's so dangerous and what does this say also because this is Alex Cooper's new right hand woman at one point it was Alex Earl Hallie Batchelder is the one that is now the podcast that she touts most besides call her daddy Hallie Batchelder is at her side at every one of these Unwell events.

27:15What does this say about Alex Cooper and Unwell? Like that this is something that they promote and support. And meanwhile, we're supposed to pretend that Alex Cooper and Unwell, that they're some feminist icons. When literally the original call her daddy was not far off from this rhetoric too, where it's like, you're just a hole. But we're supposed to pretend that Alex Cooper and Hallie Batchelder and the Unwell Network haven't set feminism back thousands of years at this point. Like, no, I will never clap for Alex Cooper. I'm sorry. Or obviously Hallie Batchelder, but that goes without saying.

27:50Danielle Bernstein:Yeah, my theory about Alex Cooper kind of platforming Hallie as her sidekick right now is obviously she tried to do it with Alex Earl when she first rolled out Unwell Network. That clearly went bust. Alex Earl allegedly felt like she couldn't get the right opportunities being under that network. She felt like she was being stifled. She wasn't being compensated appropriately, allegedly. I don't know if this is in fact true, but I feel like Alex Cooper needs someone who's down to be her sidekick and not be the star. I feel like when it comes down to it, Alex Cooper is not threatened by Halle Batchelder in the same way that she was threatened by Alex Earl.

28:29Danielle Bernstein:Whether or not you like Alex Earl, watch her videos, she is a full-fledged star. Like, she can't help it. She exudes star power. And I think with Halle Batchelder, nothing about her persona like draws me in every time I see something of her I'm like I'm left feeling a little bit like that wasn't that pleasant to listen to but okay I guess if that's your thing like whatever she's right to make her own decisions but when you're platforming really unhealthy dangerous habits and making it out like it's some joke is irresponsible with the platform that you have but when it comes down to it Alex Cooper is completely not threatened by Halle Batchelder.

29:03Danielle Bernstein:She knows Halle Batchelder will never be the quote unquote star. Yeah. And she knows that Halle Batchelder is just there to just play game. She's there to just take photos with her. And that's why she keeps her so close. Yeah. And that's a really good point, actually, in terms of the context, if you don't know who Halle Batchelder is, she's known for just being, this is her persona is being messy and really open about sex and getting drunk and being crazy and kind of just being this messy, crazy party girl. And young people are really drawn to that. She is not like we're too old for her, but she has a lot of young, impressionable listeners, which is why this is so infuriating in particular.

29:41It's like she has so many young girls that think she's really cool. It's just it's really, really, really infuriating. And it feels like we have made the wrong people famous.

29:51Danielle Bernstein:And I hope it's not being I hope it's not cool these days as a young person to have unsafe, unprotected sex. Like, I hope if you're a young person listening, you know that this is not something that we should be doing. This is not how we were taught growing up at all. What happened to, like, sex education? What happened to, are the kids still, like, going to sex ed and, like, health class? Are we still learning these things? Because this seems like such a fucking no-brainer that I could not believe that this was, like, an actual point of view that someone mainstream has. Like, I just, I can't believe it.

30:27Danielle Bernstein:It's disgusting. It's horrendous. Don't be like for you guys. It's not worth it. It's not worth getting an STD that could ruin your life. Some STDs thankfully are treatable. A lot of them are not. So don't fucking listen to her. Yes, 100%. Okay, the next thing that I want to talk about is Cole Sprouse at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. First question to you. Did you watch the VS Fashion Show? Because I did not. And I think you and Olivia talked about this. Maybe I'm overstepping. I apologize. We did talk about it and we talked about both watching like clips of it, but didn't know that it was actually going to air and didn't even know how to watch it.

31:06We were just confused by it, but I saw like the clips and the big moments and stuff like that. But I'm so glad you wrote this down about Cole Sprouse and Barbara Palvin. Wait, it's Dylan. It's Dylan Sprouse. Yes.

31:17Danielle Bernstein:Yes. Dylan Sprouse. So if you guys are unfamiliar, he's married to VS model Barbara Palvin and he was accused by internet sleuths of being quite the performative husband. So if you guys are unaware, Dylan was handing out endometriosis pins at the VS fashion show, like on the carpet. And most people that are unfamiliar with Dylan or Barbara, they're like, oh, that's so cute. You know, he's so supportive of his wife's diagnosis, which sure, yes. But people were also feeling as if he was being a little bit performative and put on, like thou doth protest too much. And all of these people were coming out of the woodwork saying, listen, I know that Dylan is out here stepping out on Barbara.

32:00Danielle Bernstein:Are they perhaps in an open relationship? And I think, let's be real. Most Hollywood relationships are likely open, but the partners are basically saying more likely than not. I'm assuming the woman is kind of telling the man, like, don't make me look like an idiot, but you can't leave around with whomever you want. Just don't tell me about it. So people think that may be happening between Dylan and Barbara, but I would be remiss to not bring up the fact of how do I even know Barbara Palvin to begin with? And I know of her name because of the entire cheating scandal that happened like 2015 era when he was in his on again, off again relationship with Selena, Justin Bieber.

32:37Danielle Bernstein:And he posted a photo with Barbara and Selena retweeted it on Twitter with just a dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot caption. Do you remember this? Sophie, the Selena, Barbara, and Justin? I actually don't, but that's so one brand for Selena, first of all. Second of all, Barbara Palvin, I think just for the record, is one of the most beautiful women on the planet. I just think that she is so stunning. I love that she has her natural teeth. I just think that she's so striking and so stunning. So yeah, I can't believe that. Dylan Sprouse, what are you doing? Yeah, he is completely just being an idiot.

33:12Danielle Bernstein:Like you have one of the most stunning. She seems cool. and this is what I read in the LA Influencer Snark subreddit. So take this with a grain of salt, but a Reddit user whines about it, said while filming the duel, Dylan went to a strip club and he and his co-stars invited the dancers back to their house. One of the girls posted about it on a TikTok along with a story time plus clips and photos, but she took everything down after the video gained some popularity. There are so many stories like this one, even some about Barbara with older men as well. With that said, I think it's been speculated that they are in open relationship slash marriage, but it would be bad for their brand and the image of their relationship to admit that.

33:49Danielle Bernstein:And it's such a small corner of the internet. Someone else said, every time I see a clip of Barbara and Dylan or a picture of them, I'm flashback to 2021 when he was filming something in a town nearby in a small Canadian town. He was actively going around to all the bars and nightclubs, openly making out and hooking up with girls while he was in a full-blown relationship with Barbara. A friend of a friend who hooked up with him one night asked about Barbara and he said that they were in a relationship, but she wasn't there. So it didn't matter. Apparently he was out in 2021, just in Canada on girls with Snapchat, grabbing girls by the waist, dancing inappropriately, like something that you would never want to see your man behaving like.

34:24Danielle Bernstein:And this makes me very sad for Barbara. And I'm feeling kind of triggered by this because it reminds me of what people were saying about Sean and Nina's breakup and how they were perhaps in an open relationship that Nina could no longer handle. But all is that to say, fuck Sean White and fuck Dylan Sprouse for stepping out on these gorgeous queens. Wait, so did we circle back, though, to the VS Fashion Show where everyone was like clamoring over the fact that he was handing out endometriosis pins because she is afflicted with endometriosis? So everyone was like, oh, my God, find yourself a man like Dylan.

35:04Like, Barbara's so lucky, blah, blah, blah. When meanwhile, we all know that he has not been the greatest guy to her in the past.

35:12Danielle Bernstein:Yeah. It just feels like when you're out there doing so much, like handing out endometriosis pins, it just feels like you're trying to prove another agenda. Like you don't need to necessarily, I get like the sentiment. It is very sweet if you were faithful. But if he's out here stepping out on her left, right, and center when he's out on location filming, it just feels very put on and very. Yeah. Yeah. It's performative. I definitely feel like it's performative. And also, yeah, I feel like just their golden couple reputation, like when they got engaged, I remember it was like a Tiffany and co sponsored posts.

35:51They get, they make a lot of money and a lot of get a lot of brand deals from being like kind of a power couple, even though, again, I think that Barbara is so out of his league and I will never think that Dylan or Cole Sprouse are attractive. I'm sorry. That's just me. I can't say I disagree

36:06Danielle Bernstein:with you. Something about them, when they were on Big Daddy, that was one of my, that's what it's called, right? Big Daddy with Adam Sandler. Yeah. I get confused between Daddy's Home and Big Daddy, but that's one of the funniest freaking films of the 90s slash whatever, early 2000s. And Dylan and Cole were so freaking sweet and cute. And I think I would have expected them to grow up to be more handsome than they are. That's so mean. I don't mean that mean, but like, you know what I mean? I'm sorry. No, that's fair. And they also like to me, they're kind of those child actors that like grow up, but you still look at them and you're like, this is a child.

36:41For some reason, they just look so young to me still. I remember Cole Sproulson call her daddy where he was like smoking the cigarettes inside. And I'm like, he cannot grow facial hair. I just know he can't.

36:52Danielle Bernstein:To me, they're always like 16 or 17 years old. Yeah. Perpetually 16. Yes, I completely agree. They have this very youthful look to them, which good for them. I mean, I would like to remain youthful for the rest of my life. But like, yeah, they'll never be past that age to me. Yeah. Your home design should feel like you. And if it doesn't, it's not because you have bad taste. It might just be a budget problem. Well, Wayfair fixes that. This is my sixth apartment in 12 years in New York City, which is crazy to think about. So when you move that much, you become less and less enthusiastic about spending money on new pieces.

37:25Of course, I still want my apartment to feel chic and elevated, but knowing it's not my forever home makes it hard to want to splurge. That's why I've turned to Wayfair for home upgrades for over a decade now. I'm obsessed with my latest purchase. It sounds kind of silly, but we were previously throwing our laundry in an open laundry bin that just ended up looking messy and cheap in the corner of our bedroom. It became an absolute eyesore, so I searched for closed wicker laundry bins on Wayfair that can hide the mess and add like a chic, beachy touch to our bedroom, and I found the perfect one for under$100.

37:54It seriously was such an upgrade to our bedroom, aesthetically and functionally, it's hard to even describe it or put it into words. And it's little purchases like that that can make all the difference in your space. Ready to upgrade your home for way less? Head to Wayfair.com right now to shop all things home and get your space ready for less. That's W-A-Y-F-A-I-R dot com. Way fair, every style, every home. The weather has been beautiful lately, which means I'm pretty much always out and about doing things. Errands, workouts, beach days, you name it. And of course, I need clothes that can actually keep up with all of that.

38:30That's why I joined Fabletics as a VIP. It completely changed how I shop and refresh my wardrobe when it needs an upgrade.

Nothing makes you appreciate good bedding more than a hot summer night, especially when your air conditioning is broken like ours was recently. I don't want to talk about it. Having something that's lightweight, breathable, cool, and easy to sleep in, no matter how hot it gets, is so freaking important. That's why I love Quince. It's been my go-to for bedding for so long now, with high-quality materials like 100 % European linen and organic cotton. You can literally feel the difference.

40:06I love waking up not sweaty. Quince has everything you need to make your bed feel cooler, lighter, and more comfortable for summer. From breathable sheets to linen shams and duvet covers in soft, seasonal colors, relaxed stripes, and timeless neutrals. My absolute favorite is their 100 % organic cotton percale sheets and duvet cover. The material is so crisp and comfy and even has a cooling effect, which is obviously perfect for those hot summer nights. I also love the look of it. It's a soft gray gingham and just has this classic look that instantly elevates our bedroom. And I love knowing that we're sleeping on 100 % cotton and not some cheap polyester blend.

40:40I also love their mulberry silk pillowcases and eye masks. They help keep your hair smooth and skin hydrated overnight because they don't absorb your natural oils like other materials do. Quince bedding is made for literal beauty sleep, you guys.

41:50Danielle Bernstein:Last thing I want to talk about is Shannon Ford. And if you guys are familiar with, I used to be a Shannon Ford historian. Over the last couple of years, I kind of fell off. It just felt kind of sad to me. but I do love trolling lames from time to time. But Shannon Ford has been afflicted with perpetual styes and I find if my timeline serves me correctly, it's been around the time since she got her upper blepharoplasty. And I feel like this surgery has gotten a lot of like, I don't know, a lot of celebrities have gotten them. The person that comes to mind most notably recently is Mandy Moore. When people are ripping her apart saying that the upper left doesn't look correct.

42:30Danielle Bernstein:It looks like she's, you know, her hooded eyelids were so beautiful. Emily from RHOC is another person that I can think of who most. Jennifer Lawrence got one. Jennifer Lawrence too. Yeah. She got one a while ago though. Emma Stone, they, people are saying got one recently. I mean, we were just talking about Bradley Cooper. I feel like every celebrity is getting them. And I know we've talked about this last week on DET, but I'm sorry. Hooded eyes are beautiful. Yeah. And I'd recall when Shannon was teasing that she was about to go in for her surgery. She's like, it's over for you bitches. I'm going to look so good.

43:01Danielle Bernstein:And I was at a bachelorette party a couple of weekends ago and a girlfriend of mine who her and I were both equally trolling Liam and Shannon all the time. She goes, well, you know that after she got the surgery, you know, you have guidelines. I had the same thing when I went through LASIK. You can't drink for a couple of days, see out of the sun, all the normal things after an operation. Apparently she was like very non-compliant with the guidelines that the doctors were giving her after her upper bleph. Don't go in the sun. Don't drink. But she was doing all these things. And so everyone keeps saying, why is it that after this surgery, she's afflicted with so many size, size for size?

43:33Danielle Bernstein:It feels almost like a monthly basis. And you can get size for a multitude of reasons, unsanitary like makeup, unclean brushes. But it's like not the flex that she necessarily thinks it is. And it actually reveals that she's quite unsanitary and gross to me. Like, I don't know. It just, for someone who has, is afflicted with such a health concern all the time, why is it becoming like a funny quirk? That's not something to be proud of. like just as unsanitary and something you maybe need to revisit with a doctor. Yeah, I just don't understand why you would spend so much money on a cosmetic procedure and then not care about the aftercare.

44:09You're wasting the money then. It's not going to go, like the aftercare is probably just as important as the procedure itself. So if you're not going to follow the aftercare, then what are you even doing? What's the point? It's just like so bizarre. What even is a stye? I know what a stye is, but like what causes them?

44:26Danielle Bernstein:I think it's like you can use an old eyeliner that's expired or had like bacteria on it or unclean makeup brushes. Like it gets into your eye and it basically, it's almost like bacteria that builds up. Like, yeah, like a wound or a pus. Like, it's not that it's pussy necessarily, but it's very uncomfortable. I've had a style or two in my lifetime. They're very uncomfortable and you're supposed to apply hot compresses to reduce the swelling, etc., etc. She just always posts about it. I feel like every time I visit her Reddit snark page, maybe on a monthly basis at this point, it's always like the sty gate.

44:58Danielle Bernstein:I'm like another sty. Sty gate? It's just great. Maybe it's so much emotional turmoil from being married to lames and her immune system is being compromised. I don't know. Honestly, yeah, that's like a real thing. I feel like if you're like in a bad relationship, your body starts to just like shut down. Also, I think this is maybe hopefully the first time we've ever used the word pussy on the pod. So let us know if I'm wrong though. Not pussy, but puss. Like literally puss-y. We'll work on never having to use that word again, but. Sorry. Sorry. That's a good one. No, don't apologize. You needed to.

45:35Yeah.

45:36Danielle Bernstein:And I apologize if you can hear Hank snoring. I forgot that he snores very loudly. It's been a while since I've babysat him. So I apologize in advance 40 minutes into the show, but here we are. I love him. But no, I can't hear it personally. Okay, good. Okay. should we move into our DEOs? Kick us off, Soph. Yeah. I just hate, I hate having to take a train in an airport. It just always pisses me off. Why am I fucking waiting for a train at an airport? Why? Anything other than my two feet walking throughout an airport, I should not be required to take anything other walking down the damn tarmac or not.

46:12Danielle Bernstein:I don't even want to, I hate when I'm on an international flight. We're deplaning. then there's a freaking bus outside. Oh my God. Stop. Don't even get me started. The bus, not the bus. It's so triggering. Deplaning and then having to get onto a bus and then the bus leaves and then you have to wait for another bus just to get off the plane and go into the airport terminal. It's so annoying. I hate when there are just so many terminals and it's like, so you're in terminal eight right now. You got to get to F. The only way you can do that is with this train. I'm like, fuck, it just annoys me. I know it's not like sometimes they are obviously really efficient for some of these huge airports, but it's like maybe don't make airports that huge that you need a train to get around.

46:59Danielle Bernstein:It's it's really it's like after a long plane ride. The last thing I want to do is get on a bus or a little metro, a little monorail to take me from terminal A to terminal F, please. Oh my God, please, please. And then my other dark energy object of the week is when moms, I'm not going to say boy moms because I feel like that's turned into like a derogatory term and I don't mean it in a derogatory way, but when moms of sons that have sons call their sons, my little boyfriend, I have seen this happen way too often recently. That's not your boyfriend. That's your child. That's so gross. Isn't that weirds me out?

47:45It really brings me out. And so many people have been saying it lately. And I'm like, why can we not normalize that? That's not your boyfriend.

47:53Danielle Bernstein:It's bizarre is what it is. Very Freudian. Would a dad post his daughter and be like my little girlfriend? We'd be like, that's weird. it like it's weird you guys yes it's giving a little bit of like a freudian complex of it I think it's very Oedipus wait Oedipus yes Oedipal Oedipal complex yes you're right you're right oh oh please don't even get me started so that's just a little I just want to make sure we do not normalize that I don't know why thank you for calling attention yeah you're welcome so I know that we're talking about Hallie Batchelder was like the condom epidemic this is the real epidemic.

48:33Danielle Bernstein:Yes. It's creepy. We deal with enough creepy things on a day-to-day basis as a woman. Okay. The last thing I want to hear is you calling your son, your little boyfriend. Okay. Enough, enough. I'm tired. Okay. My dark energy object is I had come home from a trip a couple of weeks ago and I kept hearing this beep every 60 seconds. And like when I'm in a home, I don't know if it's the smoke alarm. Is it the carbon monoxide? Is it my ADT? Like I'm frantically running around and it only comes every 60 seconds. So I'm like going from room to room. I'm like, where is it coming from? And it's loud enough where it's unclear which room it's coming from.

49:07Danielle Bernstein:Come to find out it's my carbon monoxide little detector that's plugged in. Oh God. So I unplug it, right? And I just can tell it says, if it beeps every 60 seconds, it means it's low battery. Then I go into my little linen closet where I keep all my batteries. It needs AAA batteries. I don't have AAA batteries. It's 10 p.m. on a fucking Wednesday, okay? I unplug it from the wall thinking it's going to stop because I was like, I know it's not carbon monoxide. it keeps beeping. And I was like, it's 10 PM. If I don't get the AAA batteries, I will hear this all night. I was already, skincare was on, pajamas were on.

49:39Danielle Bernstein:I had to get my ass to the fricking Ralph's like a quarter of a mile away to get batteries, to get that fricking beeping sound off. It was so annoying, Sophie. Wait, could you not have DoorDash or like Uber Eats from a CVS or something? I absolutely could. But then that would be like$25. I'm like, I don't need to like, yeah you know 25 dollars i'm like i'll just get it but yes that could have been an option yeah yeah yeah but you're like oh my god that's not fucking worth it when i could just get but it's just like i don't want to get in my car and go but i have to and if i had to wait for the uber eats guy i would have heard a bing every 60 seconds until he arrived it was like torture well at least you got it figured out because having a carbon monoxide detector is really important.

50:24And we know that as morbid true crime girlies that it's very important. So I'm glad you got it sorted out and that you still have it. You didn't get rid of it.

50:34Danielle Bernstein:Yes. And I knew now I was like, always pack batteries in your home, every time, triple A, double A, and maybe even the big Duracell, like fat batteries. Just, just in case your monoxide alarm goes off. Okay. Speaking of things that lift me up, light energy objects. I talked about this on my Instagram story, but my makeup artist that did our podcast cover art she used this like asian founded foundation on me and i was asking her what it was a couple weeks after she told me i reached out to the brand they sent me like a bunch of stuff it's an asian founded asian owned brand they don't sell it at sephora it's called orsay cosmetics you don't need to be asian of course to wear it like it's foundation for everybody but it's cool that it's asian founded and they're very skincare base.

51:15Danielle Bernstein:So it felt like the color on me, I use color 550. And it's very lightweight, very serumy. And I feel like Asian people just always keep skincare on top of mind. So I just really love the foundation. They also gave me this like lippy, kind of a darker brown lippy and then like a more pink shade. So I just really like them. They didn't pay me. They just sent me like a couple things. and they sell at Neiman Marcus if you're interested or direct to consumer. Oh, RCP Cosmetics. Yeah. Love that. I love like a good recommendation. I feel like we need to start being better about that. Recommending just everyday girly pop things that we love.

51:56Danielle Bernstein:Yeah. Yeah. My favorite foundation always goes between like Dior House Labs. And this is like very similar. Just like light, sheer, buildable. And it just doesn't feel heavy. You know how some foundations can feel really heavy on your face? This one just feels like I'm putting some moisturizer on my face. Oh, I love that. I love that. Oh, yeah. Olivia and I were also just talking about the House Labs concealer last week. And I finally found like a concealer. I have been on a journey where I'm just like, eh, this concealer is fine. It gets the job done, but not my fave. I have never found a concealer that I love.

52:33And I love the House Labs concealer. It's really good. It's so good. It just like blends right in. It's not obvious that I'm wearing concealer. It's so perfect. I love it.

52:43Danielle Bernstein:Yeah. And I like the applicator too. Everything about Post Labs is like really, really good. Yeah. Lady Gaga did good. The second thing I wanted to talk about is I know what you did last summer, the revival with Madeline Klein, Chase Sui, Wonders, and the OGs, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Frankie Prince Jr. And actually, Sarah Michelle Gellar also makes a cameo briefly in the film. But growing up, I was obsessed with that entire series. I was obsessed with the Scream series. I was obsessed with I Know What You Did Last Summer series. And I felt like this was the perfect mix of nostalgia. They would use certain lines from the original in this new revival movie.

53:20Danielle Bernstein:I love the cameos from the OG cast members. I loved how campy it was. You know, my girl Madeline Klein. I love her. Love her. Chase Sui Wonders did a great job too. She was kind of like the Jennifer Love Hewitt of the revival. And then Madeline Klein was the Helen Shivers, Sarah Michelle Gellar. But it was really good. And I found out Chase Suey Wonders, she's a Harvard alum and she was a part of the Lampoon, which is the comedy. Oh, I didn't know that. And so my cousin also went to Harvard and was part of the Lampoon and I texted her and shouted to Sierra. And I was like, Sierra, do you know Chase Suey Wonders?

53:55Danielle Bernstein:She's like, yeah. Wow. You have such much more. And she's like, she was so cool. She was two years younger than me, but she was so effortlessly cool and like beautiful. And she was like, she almost had me intimidated because she was so cool. Wow. Oh. Yeah. I was like, oh my God, that's so cool. But she also dated Pete Davidson, which is how I found out about Chase. Yeah. She was also in, did you ever see Bodies, Bodies, Bodies? Because if you haven't, you would love it. Is it on Max? I don't know what it's streaming on, but it's really good. And she's in that. And so is Pete Davidson. I think that's how they met.

54:28Bodies, Bodies. Yes, they did.

54:29Danielle Bernstein:And on Bupkis as well, his show on Peacock. They were co-starring on both Bodies, Bodies, Bodies and Bupkis. You would really like it. But yeah, I really enjoyed it. It's like it was silly and campy. And there were a lot of moments where it's like a fucking killer is after you. Why are you going to a steam room, you idiot? There were so many moments where Henry and I were like actually cracking up. It was so dumb. What's so interesting also is that and spoiler alert. Fast forward if you don't want spoilers for the I know you did last summer new movie. Spoiler alert. Spoiler alert. Fast forward.

55:04So Sarah Pidgeon, who plays, I think her name's like Stevie or something. So Sarah Pidgeon, fun fact, is Carolyn Bissette Kennedy in the new Ryan Murphy, JFK Jr. Carolyn Bissette Kennedy show that everyone was making fun of the looks and how much she did not look like Carolyn Bissette Kennedy, either physically or style wise. the hair was off, the outfits were off, everything was off. This role did not give me hope for her acting in that show.

55:42Danielle Bernstein:I had no idea who she was, but it was bad. It was so bad. It was so bad. It was so. And do you know whose was even worse? Freddie Prince Jr. Oh, I didn't notice his being that bad. But honestly, yeah, now that you mention it. But when she because she basically, again, And spoiler alert, when she is revealed to be the killer, one of them, at least one of them, she does the whole, yeah, I was in love with him. I was in love with him and he's like, yeah. And she does the whole crazy like, and I'm like, no, that is so cliche. You could barely understand what she was saying. She was like mumbling and talking really fast.

56:24The delivery was like everything about it was like the worst acting I maybe ever seen. So now I just, I do not have any hope for her portrayal of one of the most iconic style icons in history, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. This is something I would have been very, very, very interested in watching. And now I'm like, goes out the window. I'm sorry. Yeah. Like the acting. So not just like the outfits that leaked where everyone was like, this is so bad. This is not anywhere near what she would wear, but also the acting is going to be bad. I just know it

56:56Danielle Bernstein:will be yeah no i completely agree it was really cringe and i remember freddy prince jr and the og series him being so awful as well and i'm like oh my god he's so rusty because it's been a hot minute since he's been in anything yeah i was cringing the entire time at his acting like this can't be real get him off the screen it was so uncomfortable but we've heard that michelle geller is such a queen we've heard that she's a very nice oh yeah sweetheart sweetheart from everything I've ever heard about Sarah Michelle Gellar is that she's such a freaking sweetheart IRL and she I thought her cameo was amazing but just the Sarah pigeon I was in rehab with him and we I wanted to get revenge I wanted to stay there that night you guys made me

57:49I'm sorry it was so no it's funny because like your mic was cutting in and out when you were going to high pitch, but your faces were still being so like animated. It was so funny. That was the cutest thing I've ever seen. My mic can't handle it. No, literally. Please. Jordan's like going to kill us. I know. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Okay. So my light energy object, along with I know you did last summer reveal, which I also watched this weekend and really enjoyed besides the aforementioned bad acting. I love candy porn. It is so good year after year. I feel like it's very polarizing. A lot of people hate it, but we did.

58:24And this is another cute little Henry-ism. I'm sorry. I feel like I keep talking about Henry. Well, it's our anniversary, so I'm allowed to just be lovey-dovey about Henry. Henry was like, let's put out like a Halloween candy bowl this year.

58:38Danielle Bernstein:You know, I've never done that, even though I live in like a neighborhood. Oh, it's so dangerous. No, no, no. Like it's not outside. It's literally just for us to have. And I'm like, this is so dangerous for me because I'm nonstop eating it. Oh, yeah. But we have candy corn and like M &Ms and like pumpkin spice, like little Hershey nuggets. But I'll just do a couple bites of candy corn mixed with M &Ms. That combination, you guys, trust me. So fucking good. God, that sounds really good. I love candy corn too. But I know they're a very divisive hot topic in the candy world. You love or you hate.

59:13Danielle Bernstein:Yeah. But over here at Snark Bay Pod, we stand with candy corn. We hear you. We see you. Yeah. We stand with you. We eat you. We're team candy corn over here for sure.

1:00:45Your home design should feel like you. And if it doesn't, it's not because you have bad taste. It might just be a budget problem. Well, Wayfair fixes that. This is my sixth apartment in 12 years in New York City, which is crazy to think about. So when you move that much, you become less and less enthusiastic about spending money on new pieces. Of course, I still want my apartment to feel chic and elevated, but knowing it's not my forever home makes it hard to want to splurge. That's why I've turned to Wayfair for home upgrades for over a decade now. I'm obsessed with my latest purchase. It sounds kind of silly, but we were previously throwing our laundry in an open laundry bin that just ended up looking messy and cheap in the corner of our bedroom.

1:01:21It became an absolute eyesore, so I searched for closed wicker laundry bins on Wafer that could hide the mess and add like a chic, beachy touch to our bedroom, and I found the perfect one for under$100. It seriously was such an upgrade to our bedroom, aesthetically and functionally, it's hard to even describe it or put it into words. And it's little purchases like that that can make all the difference in your space. Ready to upgrade your home for way less? Head to Wayfair.com right now to shop all things home and get your space ready for less. That's W-A-Y-F-A-I-R dot com. Way fair, every style, every home.

Nothing makes you appreciate good bedding more than a hot summer night, especially when your air conditioning is broken like ours was recently. I don't want to talk about it. Having something that's lightweight, breathable, cool, and easy to sleep in, no matter how hot it gets, is so freaking important. That's why I love Quince. It's been my go-to for bedding for so long now, with high-quality materials like 100 % European linen and organic cotton.

1:03:42You can literally feel the difference. I love waking up not sweaty. Quince has everything you need to make your bed feel cooler, lighter, and more comfortable for summer. From breathable sheets to linen shams and duvet covers in soft, seasonal colors, relaxed stripes, and timeless neutrals. My absolute favorite is their 100 % organic cotton percale sheets and duvet cover. The material is so crisp and comfy and even has a cooling effect, which is obviously perfect for those hot summer nights. I also love the look of it. It's a soft gray gingham and just has this classic look that instantly elevates our bedroom.

1:04:13And I love knowing that we're sleeping on 100 % cotton and not some cheap polyester blend. I also love their Mulberry Silk pillowcases and eye masks. They help keep your hair smooth and skin hydrated overnight because they don't absorb your natural oils like other materials do. Quince bedding is made for literal beauty sleep, you guys. And in case you need a reminder, everything at Quince is 50 to 80 % less than similar brands because they work directly with ethical manufacturers and cut out the middleman. So you're paying for quality materials without the luxury markup. Make your summer bedding feel better.
