Dark Energy Tuesday (James Charles, “Summer House,” Danny Booko, Dorit/PK, Emma Leger)

27:06Every wardrobe that she has is like littered in designer logos. She's just obsessed with keeping up with the Joneses. And I think we've all known that PK has been, has filed for bankruptcy once or twice. People have questioned whether the validity of their home invasion was actually true or was it for insurance reasons for them to collect money. That's never been, you know, confirmed, but that has been a rumor for years now. And more importantly, this season, Dorit's spending habits have really been called into question. Kyle's called Dorit out for being erratic. She was like, why would you go to Love Shack Fancy and spend over$4 ,000?

27:37Why are you erratically late all the fucking time? You never take responsibility for being late. Kyle is definitely in PK's ear and vice versa because her and Mel are still very close. And Dorit doesn't like that because she's like, Kyle, you're supposed to be my friend. And you're basically part of the boys club and you're trying to take me down. It's not right. At the end of the day, I do side with Dorit because it's going against girl code and this is like a family matter. Kyle needs to see her way out of it. But just because she has the perfect relationship and divorce or separation with Mo, she can be the judge and jury of how Dorit and PK are handling their separation.

28:10So enough on that. But Mauricio this weekend, he posted a picture of him and PK together in lieu of Dorit and PK's financials being finally disclosed to everyone and more importantly, Dorit's spending habits. and that has been a huge point of contention in the season is that Mauricio and Dorit met and Mo was like listen I see the text between you and PK I think you're wrong and Dorit's like he's an absent father my spending is fine so now that her financials have come out and have been disclosed Mauricio posts a picture with PK saying I see you mate I know at Paul Kemsley and PK it's like okay Mo enough we get that PK may feel vindicated this past weekend because like all of her financials have been disclosed and she's now spending a million dollars on designer goods she's not paying the mortgage on the home she's not paying utilities we get it Dorit is irresponsible with her finances point point blank but I don't know for Mauricio to butt in right now it's like this is not your battle to fight they're just two slimy bachelors that are so excited that they now to get to party with like young 20 30 year olds and they're traveling to Saint Tropez to Ibiza together they're living the single bachelor lifestyle and the fact that they're like kind of encouraging one another to be naughty and he's like kind of shaming Dorit publicly after she's kind of publicly embarrassed about her financials as she really should be but Mo that's not for you to really speak on it's just a little bit I don't know Mo just needs to see his way out of it I feel like he just kind of grosses me out you have enough shit going on in your life Mo yeah and in the sit down with Mauricio and Dorit Dorit goes you know that PK had to stop drinking Correct, Mauricio?

29:45Like, it was a problem for him. He is an alcoholic. He had a huge substance problem or huge alcohol problem. Make sure that he doesn't drink when you're out. And Mauricio at the table was like, Pique has one, two glasses of wine. It's fine. Like, it's not a big deal. And Dorit's like, I'm telling you it's a big deal. You are enabling Pique's drinking if you encourage him to drink. Like, you may not see it, but it was a problem in our marriage with our family. So that also kind of turned me off to Pique. But someone on Instagram, he goes by the handle at attorney Ronald Richards. He posted a screenshot of Dorit's income statement over the last eight months.

30:22I know that account. He is like the Bravo obsessed attorney. Yeah. Yes. He was the one that was tweeting about all the Erica Jane stuff as it was happening. So this guy is very knowledgeable and he posted receipts. I'm not sure like how people got a hold of this, but I guess if it is public, like LA public record, someone could have paid for it and retrieved it. But basically over the last eight months, Dorit has spent$500 ,000 on retail, clothing, bags, jewelry, travel,$53 ,000, pharmacy,$15 ,000. That's just in eight months, by the way. Half a million in eight months on just retail expenses.

30:55Someone said, and I can't remember if it was in our comment section on Instagram or Patreon. I can't remember. Someone said that Dorit is spending like this because she has to maintain the lifestyle to justify the amount that she is getting in child support or alimony or whatever it is from PK. So interesting that you bring that up because some people were saying, you know, when you want to show like Real Housewives, there are certain business expenses that you can write off for being on the show. So some people were saying, oh, well, maybe this is a write off towards business expenses. It's like, be that as it may, it's still expenses.

31:28And also, by the way, that's not a deductible, a legitimate deductible expense. And the reason for that is because essentially Erica and all the other people, they're not spending like Dorit is. Like it is not a prerequisite or a requirement for you to show up in Glam, for you to show up in Designer Goods. That's optional if you want to present yourself a certain way, but that is not a requirement for you to show up on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. So you actually cannot write that off as a deductible expense. And I bet you she probably thinks that because that is a huge part of the show.

31:58But again, many a housewife does not show up in glam. Even the richest housewives. Like Crystal Cugmikoff in her first season never did. And she probably has the funds to do so. So another funny thing. I blame Erika Jayne for the glam team takeover of Real Housewives. Yeah. I'm so sick of it. It's totally changed the landscape. That is Housewives. It's all because of Erika Jayne. Yes. And that's not a good thing. Agreed. I'm saying that it sucks. Agreed. another thing that i thought was worth pointing out was that dorit took 821 000 in loans between 2024 to 2026 so she's basically robbing peter to pay paul to keep up with the joneses to keep up with this glamorous lifestyle that is real housewives and then looking at her income statement for the last two years february 2024 to april 2026 she's earned three and a half million so a shit ton and she has spent close to 70 75 of that with no payments towards her mortgage towards her utilities.

32:50PK has been paying all that. It's like, where are your priorities, Dari? Is it to keep up with the Joneses on Beverly Hills or is it to ensure that your kids have a safe home to come home to so that they're not being displaced like year after year? And what's another thing? So their house, there's been rumors that their house is being foreclosed on, but it's now confirmed. Wait, wait, your sound, just your internet just kind of like lagged? Hi, hi, hi. Okay, that sounds better. Okay, perfect. It's now been confirmed that as of April, excuse me, May 20th of this year at 1030 a.m., the house is being put up for auction there in Sino Home, which is crazy because we've been told that their house is under foreclosure.

33:31It's been a storyline this season. But the fact that there is now documented evidence that the state of California is now taking control over their home because they have been so back taxed, like they haven't been paying taxes for a long time. They're in so much debt. They cannot keep it up anymore. And what's even more interesting with this foreclosure thing is there have been texts between PK and Dorit that have leaked on TMZ. And PK is alleging on these texts that he attempted to sell their Encino home. He's like, listen, Dorit, we cannot keep up with these payments. We cannot afford them. You need to move.

34:03He apparently even offered for Dorit, Jagger, and Phoenix, their two young children below the age of 13, to live in the home that he was living in. Like maybe it was like a condo. He's like, listen, I will move out. You and the kids need to leave that Encino home and you need to live in my home because we cannot keep up with these payments. Dorit allegedly responded over my dead fucking body. She was refusing to leave the home. And she's now lost her opportunity to refinance or even keep that Encino home. She's now being like pushed out of it. And PK is also claiming that rather than using her$3.5 million of earnings that she's earned over the last two years to help pay for the mortgage of the family home, she's instead allocated all these funds to glam, wardrobe, travel.

34:40And he's like, listen, I've covered 90 % of the family expenses, including the majority of the children's expenses. But that's very different than the story that Dorit has been claiming. She's been saying the entire season, PK's so out of the children's lives. He doesn't even see them. He sees them once a quarter, if that. He makes no effort to see the kids when he's in L.A. from London. So be that as it may, but if he's also – I mean, it sucks that he's not active in the children's lives, but at least he's paying some of these expenses. But at the same time, Dorit also needs to kind of chip in here.

35:09She's just not – she also has a means to give her and her children a lifestyle as well. It's a 50-50. Yeah. I mean, this is a grown woman. Like, it's so irresponsible to be living like this when you have kids. Yeah. Like, why do you feel the need so much to keep up with the Joneses and live beyond your means? Like, that's not what's important in life. Yeah. It's like she's completely lost sight of what's important in life, and it's sad. I feel really bad for their kids. No, me too. And that was the entire season. This story was Kyle calling to read out. And yeah, it was not a poor taste i think kyle could have handled it better but i think dare i say like what i said earlier with fan it kyle may have been right now do i enjoy the way that kyle went about it absolutely not i still still do stand with three and like her being angry with kyle because it's like i know every trick you're playing i'm not down for it anymore but i i fear that dorit should be very very worried about her finances and she has no understanding of anything and she even admitted on one of the episodes she's like pk handled all of that in our marriage but it's like you have autonomy as a woman and as a 50 partner you need to step up and make yourself aware of the finances you're divorced now like you need to step up yep and she there's a one other text that i came across that was leaked to tmz from dorit to pk i received a letter in the mail saying the house is going to auction sale april 30th are you aware pk responds no she He responds, really scary, PK.

36:36He responds, you've read it wrong or it's a fake email. I'll suggest you send it to me. It's not fake. I'll send it to you. So she's been made aware of this, but it seems like she hasn't been doing much to pull, you know, to get right with the payments. Oh, my God. What an idiot. It's just very worrisome. And I have a lot of anxiety just reading that she was spending half a million dollars on retail expenses when her house is being foreclosed on. That is just so irresponsible. So stupid and irresponsible. So in Real Houses of Beverly Hills is not only apparently boring this season. I stopped watching after like the first two episodes of the season.

37:09But also like depressing. It is. It's just dark because it's like you have a woman. Kind of like the valley. Kind of like the valley. Yeah. She has the means to understand her finances. She could hire a financial advisor. She could hire a CPA. She just chooses to willfully be ignorant. And that's what's frustrating. It's like I cannot champion you as a single mother when you are willfully doing this to your kids. I can't. Yes. Exactly. Oh, my God. Well, let's move on to a marriage that will hopefully end better than Piquet and Dorit. My Roman Empire. Yes. The influencer Emma Lege got engaged a week ago, last week.

37:48So mazel tov to Emma and her fiance. But I want to talk about this because as you guys know, like she is kind of my niche, like random favorite influencer. Like she's not like the biggest influencer in the world. She's good though. Her shit is good. She's good. Like I love her vlogs. Like I watch her YouTube vlogs. I love all of her TikToks. I just love her content. and I like her style. I think that she also seems like a nice person, but I think this whole engagement thing is like kind of insane, and I will explain why. If you guys remember, this time last year, basically this time last year, I was talking about her because she was living in Paris with her ex-boyfriend and posted a video crying saying that, you know, they broke up and she was moving back to Vancouver, Canada, and she had dated this guy for four years.

38:35His name was T Tristan, but she called him T. And yeah, she had moved to Paris with him. He was pursuing his MBA or business degree, whatever the fuck it is. She kept it really vague. So a lot of the rumors was that he broke up with her because he did not want her in Paris with him. And she kind of just followed him there to live out her like Parisian fantasy. And I have heard this from different Canadian-based sources, Canadian, like the whole country, but like Vancouver-based sources that know of them, that yes, that he was the one that edited it with her. But what's interesting is that she has made kind of like vague videos alluding to the fact that, you know what, one day decided to not settle.

39:17So alluding that she broke up with him. Either way, it doesn't really matter that much. What's important is that they broke up in March of 2025. She, on a trip to New York in July of 2025 met her now fiance, Alex, this guy, Alex. And before that, you know, after the breakup, she was like hot girl summer, like embracing being single and, you know, posting a ton of inspiration about being single. And then she was single for like five minutes, but she met Alex, you know, in July of last year, she ended up moving to New York city for him in September. I remember this when you were like, when I was like, wait, didn't she just break up with that guy in Paris.

39:56You guys also like Henry is the only, like, this is the only influencer that Henry like knows because I watch her vlogs. Like I'll watch her vlogs on like the big TV. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's funny. Last night it was funny. His AirPods will randomly like connect to my iPhone and I was playing her Tik TOK and I was like, why is the sound not playing? And he was like, why am I, he was wearing his AirPods. He was like, why am I hearing like a random like vlogger in my ear like oh sorry that's me emma i was like it's emma look who it is your fave yeah your fave so she moves to new york for him in september so like two months after they met which again is crazy she lived in vancouver so she moved countries again for a guy and at some point you know she's moving to this gorgeous loft like penthouse not a loft it's like a two-bedroom penthouse high-rise apartment in Tribeca.

40:47Did she buy it? At some point – No, no, no. She's renting. But renting for like five figures a month. So – Jeez. At some point, he moves in with her. Like at first, she's like, I'm moving into this apartment. It's my apartment. But then at some point, he is just living with her. And he apparently was living with roommates. He had, I guess, three roommates before. So he was living in like a frat house kind of. And then all of a sudden, upgrades his lifestyle to living in this gorgeous penthouse with – Miss Leger. And he's like a private citizen. So I don't want to like judge him or talk about him really, but this is just what I know about the relationship.

41:22So she moved cities for him within two months of knowing him and moved in with him within like six months of knowing him, less than that, I think. Wow. Which just like screams love bombing. Like, I don't know who is love bombing who. You also could argue that like, when you know, you know. So like, I'm sure there are tons of people, tons of baby snarks that are like, I married my husband after 12 days of knowing him. Great. It like works for a lot of people. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just, from an outsider, I also want the best for her. So I'm just like, wow, this is kind of quick. So met last July, moved to New York in September, moved in together, you know, sometime in fall or winter of this past year.

42:03And then they got engaged in May. Like, what is the rush? Doesn't that seem so quick? And for context, they're both 29. It's not like they're like 30, you know, late 30s, early 40s. Like it's time to settle down. We want kids. It's like, what's the rush? You're 29. Yeah. And I think that the fact that she moved from the four year to this relationship so quickly, like the milestones for their relationship is like so quick. Like meet, move cities, move in, engage. It's like two month increments. It's so quick. And also like last year she had a different boyfriend and this year she has a fiance. Yeah.

42:39It reminds me, did you ever watch the new I Know What You Did last summer? Yes. Where like Madeline Klein's character, she's like engaged. And then it's like flash word one year and she's a different female. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, no, that's literally it. She also, what's also crazy is that she was posting about her ex. Like she keeps making these videos that are like, here's what I learned for my breakup of after, you know, years of dating someone. Never settle. You will know if it's not the one. Like, all of these – and she posted a video, like, last week or the week before about her ex. So it's like nothing says ready for marriage.

43:15Yeah. Like, still posting about your ex-boyfriend. Like, it seems like she's maybe a little hung up on him. I don't know. And, like, even the incessant posting. Like, she just posts him and has posted him so much. It's like she trying to make her ex jealous. Like, I don't know. I feel like there's some part of her that is trying to do that. I mean, we're all human, and I feel like with the short turnaround, I would be shocked if there wasn't a little part of her that was like, I need to make T a little jealous. Like, look what he missed out on. Now I'm, like, engaged, not even a year later. Like, sorry.

43:51Yeah. I also was very surprised by her ring choice. It's like a trois et moi. And I love a trois et moi. Unfortunately, M. Rada is the gold standard for trois et moi rings. If anyone remembers her Toile et Moi ring, which means two diamonds. It means you and me, technically, in French. But it's just, it's a little gaudy, I think. It's a little much, but as long as she loves it, that's all that matters. But she had to post clarifying that it's not lab-grown, it's natural, or at least insinuating that it is. She says, they are two antique stones custom set on one band, an elongated cushion cut yellow diamond and an oval champagne diamond.

44:34Both stones were originally cut under candlelight, which makes them feel even more romantic and unique. I'll have to share the full story soon, but the entire process was so special and it truly is my dream ring. How does she know that both stones were cut under candlelight? How do you know that? How do you know that? What do you mean they were cut under candlelight? What? What do you mean? Are we in the 1800s? What are you talking about? That doesn't sounds safe. I think in her mind she's like they're so antique that they are from before electricity. Like I don't know it's so fucking weird and also the fact that she she's like the entire process was so special.

45:05It's like so she clearly was involved in the ring choosing process. Right. They've known each other for five minutes. They met each other last summer. What do you mean? I know what do you mean. When did you start this process? Right, right, right. I mean I'm sorry. I'm still the cut under candlelight. Again, who told you that? Who told you that? Who told you that? Who do you call someone who makes – not a cobbler, if that's shoes. I'm thinking of like a used car salesman. Just making up lies. Like literally just like made it up on the spot. And she was like, wow. And if you're interested in this Trois-E-Mas, this one was actually made under candlelight in the 1800s by a Keebler elf.

45:45Like what are you talking about? I literally think of like an olden days. Wait, I'm picturing it like in a cave. No, me too. with like bifocals or like what do you mean cut under candlelight that doesn't sound safe that doesn't sound practical oh my god that is the dumbest like why would she post right like what do you mean and then she also posted um shut up that alex her fiance booked they got a hotel room and he booked the exact same room from the night we met so she was visiting new york when they met So she was staying in a hotel room, but I think she's like, like indicating, implying they spent the night together the night they met, I guess, because how else would he know her room number from that night?

46:29Which in any case, there is nothing wrong with sleeping together on the first date. I've always said that. I say that to all my friends. Like, don't listen to the dating. Don't listen to the dating experts that are like, he will never want to marry you if you sleep with him on the first date. Sleeping with him on the first date or the third date or the seventh date, it's not going to make a difference if this is like your person. I will never judge you for sleeping together on the first date at all. I'm actually the biggest proponent of it. But, like, why is she posting this? Like, it's just weird.

46:57Like, the oversharing is, like, very bizarre. No, and also, that's so – I love when influencers do that because Ashley from Girls Gotta Eat also slept with her husband the first night that she met him. He, like – this is actually kind of weird how they met. They did a live show. a listener brought him as like a platonic friend but he was also dating a girl when he attended the live show then he slid into her dms after him and said girlfriend broke up and they met like months after she initially like talked to him at the live show and they slept together and then when they got engaged they did the same thing where they went to the same room like it's so romantic were they like consummated yeah it's just like but that also is on brand I feel like for Ashley because she like is like it's like a sexy podcast like it's great for her to talk about this like that makes that track no you're so right it's it's a sexy podcast you know sexy pot no it's like a sex isn't it like it's like a sex podcast no 100 it's like sex relationships dating but no you're so right but I just love the way you yeah no well it makes sense it's a sexy podcast I wonder if we're a sexy podcast we're definitely not we're definitely not a sexy podcast I'm just kidding.

48:10But yeah, once again, I will always say, do not listen to the – I'm sure SFK, Serena fucking Kerrigan's new dating book, she's going to be like, you are the prize. And prizes don't chase winners. So prizes don't sleep with the – winners don't sleep with the prizes on the first date or whatever it is. So in any case, I will always say that the person that you're meant to be with will not give a fuck when you sleep with them. Okay? Totally. There is no judgment here. Just want to make that clear. We are very sex positive and I am sex on the first date positive. Okay? No, I love it. I actually think when I went on We Met at Acme, shout out Lindsay Metzler, friend of the pod, We Met at Acme.

48:51We – I had tweeted that I don't believe in like any of her dating rules and she kindly invited me on the pod to debate them. And I think that's one of the points we debated if I'm remembering correctly. It was years ago. It was when I had first started dating Henry. No, I love that. So quite a long time ago. We love someone that you can, like, debate healthily on a topic that you're passionate about. I love that she was open to debate. And I still, to this day, do not agree with, I don't think, any of her dating rules. But we can agree to disagree. No, love that. And she is a baby snark. And we love that.

49:23No, yeah. She's amazing. Shout out, Lindsay. With Plan B Emergency Contraception, we're in control of our future.

There's a lot to talk about. He's so fucking weird. He's weird. So if you guys missed it, James Charles mockingly read a DM from someone who he made clear many times was not a follower of his. As if that makes a difference, that this was not a follower, not a fan of his. This person DMed him and he mocked them in this video. Good morning, James. I know you'll probably never see this, but if you could take – this is how he read it.

51:30But if you could take one minute to read it, it would really mean a lot to me. I'm really struggling right now because Spirit Airlines just filed for bankruptcy and I've lost my job. Here's a GoFundMe link. Any donations help. And he goes, I'm sure they would help. You know what would also help? Getting a job. Basically making fun of this person that was honestly tragically laid off in this economy. Everyone knows the job market is terrible right now. Also, from what I've been hearing about the flight attendant business is that every airline has a hierarchy. So if you are like a senior level flight attendant in one airline, you have to start from the bottom at a new one.

52:05So now those senior airlines flight attendants, it's horrible. Like it's a nightmare. And it's really, really, really fucking sad that thousands of people are out of work now. It's objectively really sad. And here he is in his ivory tower, like having never worked a real job in his life. Yeah, yeah. Making fun of this person and saying, you know, what else would help you getting another job? You could have applied for a hundred other jobs in the time it took you to DM me and probably all the other celebrities. You don't even follow me. You're not a fan. You're a lazy piece of shit. You think influencers and celebrities should fund your life.

52:37Welcome to the real world, sweetheart. Also made comments about her being like white and able-bodied, saying that she was in a better position than many others to find work. And obviously this got a ton of backlash. He quickly deleted the video. I saw it before he deleted it, but was not smart enough to download it. But other people did, thankfully. Right. And first he doubled down in his response video and said that he like stood 10 toes down about, you know, this person being entitled. And then, you know, the backlash got so severe that he eventually posted a real apology saying that he was, you know, what he said was stupid, rude, privileged, completely unnecessary.

53:20I'm just so first of all, it's like basically the exact seven year anniversary of drama get in. Yeah. With the Tati Westbrook video, if you guys haven't listened to our James Charles deep dive, please do. You'd think someone who has already been canceled 20 times and has been literally accused of being a pedophile. Yeah. And DMing minors would be extra, extra careful about what they say and do on the internet and be extra careful about not offending people. But here we are once again, seven years later. He has zero discretion. And actually, as you were talking, I was thinking about how Jerry from Cheer, he is in prison for – as he should be because he is a pedophile.

54:03And he was preying on young underage boys. Yeah. And it's shocking to me that James Charles, a white man, Jerry, a black man, is not in prison for the same exact thing. That just shows you so much privilege. and yeah, I don't know why James Charles even has followers at this point. He's a dangerous human being. This is actually just scratching the surface of what he's done. This is not even, this is like, this is the least problematic thing he's done in our list of what he's done horribly. Exactly. But if this is what's finally going to do it. Oh, then I'm down. He's not a good person. And also, yeah.

54:43That was like, that video was so shocking. If you guys haven't seen it, we posted on our Instagram at snarkbaitpod. It was like sociopathic. It's like here you have someone that is probably at the lowest point of their life that they are stooping to DMing strangers because they probably cannot afford groceries, can't afford to feed their children. And you who lives in a multimillion dollar mansion who has never worked a real job. And I'm sorry. It's like you're a YouTuber influencer. You have a very, very, very easy gig compared to 99.999 % of the world. Yeah. And you are criticizing this person?

55:17Like, are you fucking kidding me? And then in his apology video, he was like, I can't find that DM anymore, but I would love to help you out if you reach out to me. Save it. It's like, oh, now, save it. Yeah, please. Just save your money. I don't want your blood money, your hush money or whatever you want to call it. I mean, yeah, it's just – part of me even wonders. This is in such poor form. Now, what I have messaged James Charles, my GoFundMe, whatever you call it, link, probably not. but at the same time it doesn't matter james it doesn't matter because like we don't know how we would be in this specific position of this person you know like desperate times call for desperate matters it's like maybe i would if i were out of work and i was struggling to feed my family i would probably start a gofundme and send it to celebrities because why not it doesn't hurt to ask you know like the job market is so fucking terrible and he like said that in his apology video he's like i have employees that i pay and i know the job market is here but i have friends that are applying for jobs.

56:13Do you though, James? Shut up. Do you though? All your friends are super wealthy, I'm sure. Yeah. It's like, what are you talking – you have like friends that are applying for jobs. What are you talking about? Yeah, yeah. No. You don't have friends sitting in corporate jobs. Yeah. No. Shut up. But yeah. My heart goes out to everyone right now who is struggling in this economy and this job market. We just did an episode on Patreon that's going to release a week from tomorrow where Sophie talks about her job journey, like from start to finish, from when she was still in college at her internship and all the way to date.

56:45Yeah, the fashion and media industries. Yeah. Yeah. And we talk about just how like our layoff stories and it's not fun. So. Oh, getting laid off is incredibly traumatic. We have both been laid off. It is like so traumatic and horrible. And I mean, it's just it's getting worse with AI. It's obviously taking people's jobs right now. Like it's just a fucking shithole nightmare of a world that we're living in right now. So my heart goes out to everyone that is dealing with this. That is a dark energy object is AI taking people's jobs. Yeah. Yeah. A hundred percent. My dark energy object is just having to pay to breathe.

57:32I have like really severe allergies. So I have to take allergy shots. Oh, like seasonal allergies? Yeah. Yes. Like achoo. Those types of allergies. Yeah, yeah, yeah. a bunch of food allergies. So I take allergy injections. And when you first take allergy injections, you have to show up twice a week, every week for a couple months. And you have to wait 30 minutes in case you have an anaphylactic reaction. And then you taper off into maintenance period where you go once a week, and then you taper off to once a month. So I've been doing it for probably four years now. So I'm at once a month, but it's a huge investment.

58:03Insurance does not cover it. Once a month, like all year or just during allergy season? Yes. Oh, no, no, all year it's perpetual yeah so it's a huge time invest time suck it's a huge investment in your money because they have to remix the serum so like sometimes your insurance will cover it depending on how much you know you have in your deductible other times i've had to pay like thousands of dollars just to like breathe and it's it's like a crime it really is messed up that is really annoying yeah that's like having to pay to see exactly yeah contacts right yeah contacts pay to see allergy shots like i why am i paying to use one of my five senses it's bullshit yeah honestly it all we were talking about this with our uh patron episode that's going to go out tomorrow about becca bloom we did a whole deep dive on what makes people tick about her why she's super wealthy and we also talked a lot about the pink tax because her biggest scandal was about talking about the gap in wages for men and women and how that really pissed the internet off and then we talked about how annoying it is that tampons are not free no it's crazy like how are tampons not free that actually it will never not blow my mind that should be a crime we like it should like that should be illegal charging for tampons and they're so fucking expensive like we have to pay to not bleed out everywhere yeah as women like if men got periods i don't even have to say that but like obviously men got periods they would be subsidized by the government yeah so um and also they would get a whole week off work during their period yeah um okay my deo is guys who manspread on the subway that's so fucking funny so you you know what manspreading is obviously yeah on the subway space is so limited and also not just guys like this actually is a unisex issue i've noticed the people that are sitting on the subway and their legs are not only spread like out uh horizontally I guess like like men do but also just like out into like the aisle of the subway yeah and it's so I'm like oh my god I like have tripped over so last week for some reason everyone was sitting like that with their legs out no self-awareness or no spatial awareness yeah no spatial awareness the subway's packed I'm tripping over these people's legs it's like just so like how do you not have train etiquette at this point in your life no I know you're a grown man also man spread is such a funny term.

1:00:26That's hilarious. Yeah. I mean, you've heard that before. I don't think I actually have. Oh my God. Here's Christy thinking I coined a term again. No, no, no, no, no. Like I don't think you coined it. It's just like, that's a funny term. Like that's just a funny, I don't know why when I read it, I was like laughing. And I get it because like they have like junk there. So like I understand why, but it's like deal with it sometimes. Like it's just, there comes a point where it's too much, you know? like you have to just be able to deal with it deal with it you know totally um my light energy object is doubled eggs i love doubled eggs i love doubled eggs so fucking much and if you don't grow up like grow up grow up i don't know like how you cannot yeah love doubled eggs so um my favorite deli and upper east siders baby snarks that live in the city schaller and weber it's like a deli slash German market, like German deli, I guess.

1:01:25And it's on second app between 85th and 86. And if you want to know where to find me, assassinate me, I am there all the time. I love their chicken salad. They have the best chicken salad in the city. But the other day they had deviled eggs on the counter for sale. And I was like, wow, this is the best day of my life. And obviously you can always like make deviled eggs, but it's a time-consuming process. I've done it before. It's time-consuming. Yeah, it's not the same. They taste better when someone else makes them. So I bought a bunch of just deviled eggs. That was my perfect afternoon snack that day.

1:02:00They're so good. They hit every time. No, they do. I love going to a restaurant and ordering deviled eggs. If it's on the menu, rest assured, I will purchase. Oh, if it's on the menu? Yeah. Done. Appetizer, yeah. Done. It's already squared away. Don't even ask for whatever else. It's settled. Yeah. No, I love that. Okay, My light energy object is actually a really sweet story that I had to shout out on the pod because it really warmed my heart. So I am staying at my mom's house because my house is getting remodeled and I'm taking care of Hank. So I was walking Hank. And I saw – my mom lives in like a condo complex.

1:02:33So on the street, I saw this big black SUV talking with an old Chinese woman, old Asian woman. And the driver was stopped in the middle of the road and the old Chinese woman was talking at her through the passenger window. and I kind of just, I was like, okay, whatever. Like they're kind of taking up the middle of the road, but just ignored it, continued walking Hank. Turned into my mom's parking lot and the black car is approaching me and I can tell it's like wanted to say something to me and they stopped and I'm like, okay. And they rolled down the window and the woman, she's white, blonde hair, British.

1:03:04And this is all important. But basically she was like, excuse me. She's like, do you speak Chinese? And I was like, oh no, I don't. I was like, is something the matter? And she goes, this woman, and she points to the woman and now her passenger seat, this old Asian woman. She goes, she speaks Mandarin and she's lost. Like she doesn't know where she is. And it was dusk. Like it was about to be dark. It was probably 7.15. And she goes, and I don't know what she's saying. And the woman – Google Translate. Yeah, yeah. We could have used that. But she was – like the woman was kind of frantic. The older woman was frantic.

1:03:36And she had like her HOA card and she kind of flashed the HOA card. It had her name on it. But that doesn't help. You know, like it doesn't have her address on it. it's just like a pool card basically to get access to the community pools and i was like i can call my aunt because she speaks mandarin so i called my aunt and i was translating uh with the woman and my aunt was like she's just basically saying she doesn't know where she is and the woman was like i i recognize her because i see her at the pool often i know she's like a resident around here but i could tell she was like clearly distressed and distraught and didn't know where she was yeah and it was kind of hard because you know it was a little bit it was just kind of it It was all over the place.

1:04:13And my aunt was like trying to understand how she really couldn't because it's like through the phone. It's kind of hard. And fortunately, the woman in the driver's seat was like, actually, I have someone on the phone who can speak Mandarin. And it's louder coming through the car. And she's like, don't worry. If I can't figure it out, I'll just take her to the police and we'll figure it out. But I thought it was so nice for her to, one, be cognizant of like this woman looks distressed and confused. And I'm going to, one, make an attempt to communicate with her. And if I cannot, let me just like put her in my car and let me figure it out.

1:04:41And like God knows where this white woman had to be, the driver's woman had to be. It's Friday night. It's like 7.15. She was probably really busy, like coming home from work, whatever it may be. And I just thought it was so heartwarming that she decided to like stop and she was so calm. And it was just sad to see this woman. The Chinese woman was very distressed. That's very sweet. Yeah. And I was like, it's so nice to kind of just look up sometimes and make sure we're aware of ourselves and other people. Yeah, you never know. I honestly was like so on my phone and just focused on Hank. I don't think I would have even noticed because I'm just kind of in my own world when I'm walking and doing my own thing.

1:05:15But that just like really – I wish I had gotten the white woman's name, the driver's name. Because I would have loved to just like reach out and ask her how she's doing and like thank her for – Because I was like she looked – Yeah, that was very sweet. The Chinese woman looked like my grandma. Like she was just so sweet. She was just so scared. You could tell. And I was like, thank God there's still a little bit of light because if it was dark, what – You hear so many times where elderly people walk out of their homes and they're never seen again because they have dementia. Yeah. Oh, God. So that's amazing that you guys helped her.

1:05:45Yeah. So then I was like, God damn it. Good Samaritan. Be a good Samaritan. Yeah. Be a good Samaritan and kind of look up from your guys' phones, myself included, and make sure you're aware of what other people are going through because you just don't know when that's happening. Yeah. You never know. Thanks for the reminder. Yeah. So other than that, tomorrow on the Patreon, what are we talking about? Oh, yeah.
