Key claims

Tarte’s Turks & Caicos trip is “tone deaf” and “tacky,” with influencers getting drunk and a missed Miami flight blamed on scrubbing tan; the trip doesn’t drive sales/ROI. Alex Earl and Braxton have officially broken up; breakup edits cite “love bombing” (including helicopter first date). Summer House trailer shows Kyle out late at a fan’s house with timestamped screenshots; Amanda and Kyle reportedly living separately.

Notable examples

Kyle at 5:35 a.m. beer pong/shotgunning Truly; Hallie’s quote about “rumors” of getting “fucked up morning, noon, and night”; Bethenny Frankel criticized for a “tacky” Architectural Digest Boca home (chevron wall, fur stools, mismatched wood).

We're so, so excited. We're going to be in LA on May 15th, New York on June 12th and Chicago two days later on June 14th. genuinely when we were approached to do a tour and like very honestly we're not going to be making any money on this tour the most thing that we're excited about is to meet every single baby snark and to be in real life with you guys sophie said it best a couple episodes ago or like when we batched a couple of episodes so if he was saying the relationship that we have with the baby snarks is one-sided you listening to us know us very well but we also don't feel like we know you guys.

4:12And I think the most fulfilling part of this entire thing is getting to see you guys in real life and get to talk with you and meet you. Needless to say, we're so excited. It's going to be a banger of a show. We're bringing out all the stops. I really couldn't be any more excited. It's like a dream come true. Yeah. And we are going to have a special guest at our LA show. Hopefully the other shows too, but we already have a special guest locked in for LA show that I think you guys to be really excited about. Any guesses? Let us know. Let us know if you have any guesses. But yeah, like Christy said, we're in the red.

4:44We're not making any money. No, literally. And I think by that time, we'll have merch so you guys can grab your merch there. There are various tiers if you guys want to meet us after the show. All the information is at x1entertainment.com slash snarkbase. So it's going to be a show of a lifetime. We promise you we're going to be pulling out all the stops. And I can't wait to meet you guys. Yeah, we're so excited. Literally our heiress tour. What are you up to this weekend, Christy? Oh, you know what? I am preparing to see Miss Mo. She's going to be coming here next week from London. Oh my God, that's so fun.

5:25Yes. Miss Mo is Christy's adorable niece, if you're not aware. Yes. and honestly it's been a bit of chaos in the personal life it's super sad this is a little bit of like a random thing but my mom's plumbing basically had like a burst and the entire floor got super wet so her entire house has been like all the furniture has been removed as of yesterday they're ripping out all the floors they have to like fan out all the walls it's like a serious construction thing so our plans have kind of been upended because my sister was going to stay at my mom's house this time around and like we're trying to there's a lot of admin work going on like in the back of my head at all times just preparing for their visit and like obviously with my mom dealing with that amongst various other things it's been a very busy holiday season but I think the one thing that it's balanced out kind of the stress of my day-to-day is just getting very very excited about this tour and planning it and that's been kind of the gem in all this the diamond in the The diamond in the rough.

6:29As snarky often is, we're all dealing with our own things off mic, offline. And I think the one thing we can always come back to is the show and this audience. So yeah, that's kind of what's going on with me. Well, I'm really sorry to hear that about your mom's house. We are sending her all the best, hoping for a speedy resolution that's extremely stressful. And I was telling her, I'm like, get a California closet installed. Get new floors. Think of it as a remodel that's forced. we've lived in the house for like two decades so I was like just think of it as kind of a fun like zhuzh that's a good way to that's a good way to think about it I like to think about things like that too like I feel like I and I've mentioned this before that it's just been a tough year for a lot of people I know a lot of people that have been laid off I know a lot of people that have had to move and leave their homes and it's like think of it as a and I know this is easier said than done, but it's almost sometimes a blessing in disguise.

7:27It's like maybe it was time to reevaluate that job or the city that you're living in or whatever it is. I feel like it's sometimes a blessing in disguise, even though it sucks. No, I know. And what about you? What are you up to the rest of the weekend? And the rest of the week, I guess. Yeah. So I think this is our last weekend in the city until we go on vacation. We are going to Turks and Caicos. No way. Wait, I didn't tell you that? No. Oh, my God. I can't believe I haven't told you. We talk every day, but sometimes it's like. We talk literally every second. Oh, and by the way, you guys, Christy and I had a meeting with our network yesterday.

8:09It was scheduled for 4.30 p.m. ET. I get a text at 4.31. Hey, you coming? You coming to this meeting? And I was like, Christy, it's been one minute. I'm so sorry. It's been one minute. No, I know. that was really aggressive of me and I had a PTSD moment when I was a new career woman after college and I pinged a partner and I was like hey are you coming to this meeting he's like Chrissy and he was like super nice he wasn't being a dick about it he was like Chrissy it's one minute past like give me one second I had a PTSD moment and I was like the reason I pinged Sophie was because she didn't accept it so I was like I don't know you know but that's just me Sophie's a little bit more chill.

8:50I'm a little bit more like, yeah, I'm more, what's the word? Yeah, you get it done. You're just more type B about it. And I'm very, I'm very type B. Like Christy is very like, let's figure this out right now. And I'm like, can we do it later? We'll figure it out later. Like we have time. I'm very glad. Like, for example, for like the tour rollout, Christy was like, let's plan our social strategy and everything. And I was like, we have a week, like we can figure it out later. But I'm so glad we had all of our ducks in a row. Thanks to Christy. She is so organized. But anyway, yeah, I'm going to Turks and Caicos with my obviously Henry and sister-in-law, brother-in-law, nephews, and then my brother-in-law's sister and her husband and their cute kids.

9:36So it's going to be like a fun little week in Turks and Caicos. I'm very excited. I've been once before and it's beautiful. So yeah, that'll be a lot of fun. But The moral of the story is this is my last weekend in the city, I believe. So I'm just, I have like brunch plans. That's about it. Speaking of the impending holiday. So we are going to release our normal Patreon episodes every Wednesday. No changes there. But this week will be the last week of snark bait public episodes. And we will see you back in the new year come January 6th. So over the next two weeks of December, we're going to take off.

10:15But if you guys want to hear more of us, patreon.com slash snarkbait. Every Wednesday, we release bonus content as well as main episodes, but ad free. So I hope you guys enjoy your holiday. And you guys are relaxing, whether it be in Turks and Caicos, right at home, with your family, with your friends. We'll be here on Patreon, or we'll just see you in a couple weeks. Yeah. Just wanted to talk about that as well. So we will have like a rerun episode on January 1st, but any new episodes after this Thursday at the 18th will not be until January 6th. The new year. Yeah. Yeah. And thank you guys for understanding that even the hardest working women in show business need some days off.

10:55So we're excited to just celebrate the holidays and relax a little bit. We hope you guys get some relaxation in too. Speaking of Turks and Caicos, I feel like this is the perfect segue into Trippin' with tart, Christy. Can you talk a little bit about this? Okay. I have to give credit to one of my best friends, Emily, who posted a TikTok about the tart trip in Turks and Caicos yesterday. And I came across it before I was writing the notes for this outline. And she was basically saying something about the tart trip feels so incredibly tone deaf, particularly in this political climate, in the world that we're living in today where people can barely afford groceries, snap benefits have been revoked.

11:33Something about this trip doesn't seem voyeuristically fun anymore it just seems more like rage bait if anything so something i just want to say up top something about tart cosmetics feels so cheap and tacky to me and i cannot speak to the actual makeup product because i myself do not own anything tart related the quality has gone down because they're because they're busy paying for this shit yeah they're too busy with their million dollar expenses of these trips a million dollars it has to be because given the exorbency of this trip I have no doubt that they have not been frugal on a single thing on this itinerary the makeup itself I feel like it's very poor quality and again not even the quality of the makeup because we don't know but apparently it's not that good it's the branding it's always like just so cheap like that weird kind of like purple with the like kind of diamondy silver on the packaging it feels cheap it feels tacky and it's always in the back of Sephora no one is ever in Tarte Cosmetics whenever I'm at Sephora.

12:33And I feel like I know enough about makeup now just through watching a lot of TikTok videos and what have you. I feel like the most pinnacle makeup products just from my experience, Hourglass, Makeup by Mario, like those are tried and true makeup products. Tarte is just so, I don't like it. Everything about it, just that the brand itself is bad. But then they do this whole influencer trip where they're shipping all these random influencers, some of them random, some of them whom I know. I think you and I are very familiar with Hallie Batchelder of Unwell. Dylan Cabbage. I think he's that shut up and fuck me who I actually think he's really funny.

13:09I don't know who that is. Who is that? Now I keep seeing him because of the tart trip and I'm like, who are you? Sophie, he's hilarious. I follow him on TikTok. And he, no. Is he though? No, he does these prank calls and that's his main, his main shtick is he'll call businesses and he'll just prank call them and I am like crying laughing. But, you know, my taste is usually bad. So I'll send the same video to, like, my best friend. And she's like, it's not funny. Like, I don't know why you're laughing so hard. Like, I don't know either. But he's hilarious. He's on the trip. There's that sorority Bama Rush Talk girl.

13:45Hope you have a great day. Not just a good day. I forgot what her name is. In any case, it's a lot of influencers. It seems like the place to be if you're, like, a level C influencer. But I have to call it a couple of dramatic things that have happened on this hard trip. So there's this influencer named Tiana Robillard, who I was not familiar with. What the hell is a Tiana Robillard? You're not telling me, Sophie. I have no idea who anyone is on this truck trip besides Dylan Kavich, Hallie Batchelder, and Gia Judiche, just because of real fast guys. I know Gia and Hallie Batchelder. That's it.

14:18Yes. So Tiana Robillard, who that is, we do not know. Whoever the hell that is. So apparently TAR provides flight. They tell all the influencers, fly to Miami. And then from Miami, we're going to take like a private flight to Turks and Caicos. Okay. So I guess Tiana missed her flight to Miami because she was too busy, in her own words, scrubbing her tan off that she just missed the flight. She was saying in her video, I'm like hoping JSX pulls through for me. I want them to delay the flight one and a half hours so that I can actually board the plane and arrive at the same time as all my other friends.

14:54And everyone was like, wait a minute. So you want to like actually stop traffic, stop the tar, like disrupt the tarmac and whatever you call it from other flights from taking off because you missed your flight because you were too busy scrubbing your tan off. It's so tone deaf and that just sets the tone for everything that is the matter with Tarte brand trips. Okay. And obviously it's like you're not Alex Earl. Okay. Yeah. Take a seat. And like you said, it doesn't meet the moment. It's just a tough time right now. And we look to these influencers, even though I don't know who the hell any of these are.

15:30No, none. But we look to influencers in general for it's like a voyeurism thing. They're aspirational, but it's just obnoxious. And the fact that you're getting a private plane to Turks and Caicos and you can't even make your flight to Miami to get that private plane, that is no one's fault. But if I was being told, I've never flown private. Have you, Christy? Who do you think I am? You know what? I don't know. You like to go to Vegas. Like, I don't know. Maybe you've like... Like, that's a thing, right? You know what? JSX is actually an alternative kind of semi-private plane. It's not fully private, but there is a JSX at the John Wayne Airport in Orange County.

16:15And it's actually not that much more expensive. I mean, relatively so. It's probably$250 more than a commercial flight using Southwest. Oh. It's still significantly, like, It's not nothing, but it's not exorbitant prices. Oh, my God. So a JSX is not necessarily, like, the end-all, be-all. I don't know what that is. I don't know what a JSX is. Yeah, it's pretty common. Like, a lot of normies take it. So that's what I think the flight was from Miami to Trokes and Caicos. But the jet even itself was, like, tripping with tar. And it was, like, decked out, the actual plane. I'm like, how much money was spent?

16:51And I think above all else, the thing that I think drew so much attention to start trips to begin with was that the influencers that were in attendance got so fucked up. It was just this like sloshed weekend. I remember a couple of years ago, Remy Bader and Halle Batchelder, I think. And like Brianna chicken fry. How was that? I'm on a start trip and I think Brianna is going to get the most drunk. Like one of those videos. I'm so curious how this is beneficial to the brand because yeah I guess it helps with brand awareness but it like cheapens the brand I don't know it just feels like gross like why don't we have a certain level of class that we want to maintain as a brand I don't know that's just me though maybe not maybe Maureen doesn't care about that Maureen is the founder of Tart and I don't think Like she, I think that she likes to live vicariously through these young influencers and party with them.

17:48And it makes her feel young, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. And a lot of people were actually bringing up that exact point saying, I've never watched these TikToks of people on the Tarte brand trip and thought, I need to buy that Tarte shave tape. It doesn't actually, I mean, I'd be curious, actually, I don't know. The community that I am in that we're sitting, Tarte brand trip has never increased like a sale for me. Sephora sales or excuse me, me purchasing something at Sephora is usually from a TikTok influencer that I follow who's into makeup saying this product is really good. It's not someone just like shoving a bunch of tart products in your face in their Turks and Caicos compound.

18:23Like that's not going to increase the sale for me. And again, it just brings in this level of tackiness where they're just getting so fucked up. And it's like, you're at a work event. Why are you one? Why are you showing up late to the airport? Two, why are you showing up slosh to work event. It just, it cheapens it. And three, they did this TikTok where they asked every influencer, what are you most excited about on this tar trip? And Hallie Batchelder goes, rumors about the tar trip is that you get fucked up morning, noon, and night. And I look forward to it. Get a different shtick. Something about her always being so fucked up feels so dark-sided to me and worrisome to me, quite frankly.

19:00I don't follow Hallie Batchelder, but from what I've read, she's been very open about her mental health and her suffering with an eating disorder you guys can fact check me or let me know if you guys follow her but anyways Hallie Batchelder's whole shtick is being fucked up and I just don't I don't find it cute I just find it kind of it's sad yeah it's sad and you know what it kind of reminds me of Grace O'Malley's brand a bit which by the way what happened to her I don't she joined Unwell then we never heard of her again something about the unwell network promotes a lot of partying it seems like it does it does and it's like with grace and hallie who you know both under the unwell network they get rewarded for having this crazy party girl personas that's how they make a living isn't that crazy that that is just their career is just partying now and i mean they're not the first nor the last socialites to make a career from attending parties and partying and being crazy.

20:00But it's just so kind of sad and dystopian to watch, I guess. Yeah. And they, them two are kind of the face of the Unwell Network too. And when you're the face and the only thing that you're kind of known for is partying, it just is a reflection in turn of the Unwell Network. So I don't know. I'm just really not a fan of this Tart Brand trip. It makes sense though that Hallie Batchelder is on this trip. but nothing about this to me is going to drive sales. I don't know what their finance team like is encouraging. Like I feel, I don't know. This is just very confusing. The economics of this trip, the return on investment.

20:36I need to know. Whoever's on the finance team, let us know. What is the focus of this trip? What is the ROI? Yeah. What is the ROI? It's crazy.

23:18Everything you need to make your outdoor area the best seat in the house. We only have an itty-bitty balcony in New York City, but thanks to Wayfair, we made the most of our tiny space with a perfect little bistro set and twinkle lights. I'm so excited it's finally warm enough to use it again. My favorite thing to do during the warm weather months is have coffee and breakfast out there with Baxter on sunny mornings. It's my favorite start to the day, and it wouldn't be possible without my Wayfair furniture. I also really appreciate that Wayfair has installation and assembly services because outdoor furniture can be heavy and intimidating to assemble.

Speaking of, oh, Unwell, I guess. Alex Earl, who's no longer under the Unwell Network, but she was. Alex or on Braxton have officially broken up. And we talked about it last week that we were, I think it was last week that we were on breakup watch and it is official. What are your thoughts, Christy? I mean, all I can say is not surprised. And there's so many edits of people going back on Sophia Colpo talking about the breakup saying, I felt love bomb.

26:04I'll wake up in the morning and there'll be love notes for me written on my bed and the kitchen. I felt so loved when I was with Braxton until it became what appeared to me as love bombing. And I will never forget when Alex Earl said that when I first got asked out by Braxton on an official date, he told me, dress nicely. I'm going to surprise you with something. He took her on a helicopter ride. It's just so extra something about and I don't know if this is just because wealthy people do wealthy things. And on first dates, you take your girl that you're courting on a helicopter ride because that's normal you guys tell me i don't know this seems very love balmy and something about braxton this could be me projecting but it's maybe because i've seen it in my real life with friends and guys i've dated i feel like in the cloak of night braxton gets like real scary i don't know this is just a vibe that i get sometimes like when you don't when you don't see him when it's just him he gets real frightening you guys know what i mean though like something about him is just Braxton is my sleep paralysis, Stephen.

27:07He's unsettling. And I'm so glad Alex is breaking free. It's kind of been talked about that Alex was the one that initiated the breakup. Alex was the one who made the decision. Alex allegedly wants to get into acting. She wants to be a girl about town. She wants to travel to LA. She doesn't want to be restrained by the confines of Miami and the, you know, the darkness that is that city. And part of that was being with Braxton. I'm so happy for her. Alex Earl is at the top of her game. Yeah. On the top of the world. She does not need a love bomber tying her down. Who do you think is on our list for guys that are eligible bachelors for Alex Earl?

27:46I don't like this sounds crazy. But like I could see her. I was just thinking of like hot movie stars. Like I literally could see her. It wouldn't surprise me if she dated like Jacob Alordi. Like. Oh wait. Sophie? Bingo. I mean he's a bingo. love influencers his last girlfriend was olivia jade so like i think that that's why they broke up honestly is because she's like i am like ascending and you're a washed up like second string angler napoleon complex bench warmer no wait you know what i'm thinking of i was like what in the cloak of the night have you ever seen anastasia like anastasia the animated movie Yeah, of course.

28:32In the dark of the night. No, no, no, no, no. Do you know what I'm thinking of? No, but in the dark of the night, Braxton removes his cloak and he comes out like with like devil horns. Something about him is so unsettling. Do you guys know what I'm talking about? And this is just my, you know, you know what I like to say? It's more of an intuition. I read off of energy. In fact, my therapist, she always tells me she's like, the way that you read people is so clear and it's so almost psychic. I can just tell when people are bad. Okay. Yeah. No, he is like nefarious energy. And the way that relationship started, allegedly, was him cheating on Sophia with Alex.

29:11Like, he's not a good guy. He's not cute, in my opinion. No. Alex can do so much better. He has a Napoleon complex. And for anyone who's going to say, like, you guys are being so mean, do you know how much worse women get it? Like, we're allowed to say this about a man who's like a multimillionaire. Okay. Just let us do our thing. Okay. Let us cook. also yeah he's yeah no one should feel bad for him he's like a known cheater love bomber nfl player well poor braxton oh poor thing i quickly want oh my god there are like so many things i want to talk about i want to talk about the summer house trailer please so summer house season 10 is premiering in february the trailer just dropped it looks so good i'm so excited I need it now.

30:00I can't wait too much to be clear. I need it right now. Right now. No bed rotting in sight, which I love. That's why, you guys, I was never going to miss Paige. Summer should be fun, and it looks like it's a ton of fun this season. Summer should be fun. So first we have Kyle and Amanda, and it's the same old story. Amanda in the trailer claims that Kyle slept at a fan's house and didn't come home until 6 a.m. one morning. and then someone posted a tiktok that had snapchat evidence did you see this yes proving that kyle was out it had time stamps there is one screenshot it looks like he's playing like beer pong at 5 35 a.m and the caption is help he's still here one where he's shotgunning a truly a truly so that's that's obviously that is a competitor for a lover boy so that's not a good look with a backwards hat he is 43 years old you guys he's 43 i would die if this are my husband i would die you guys i you guys know i've been a kyle cook apologist i'm gonna have to hang my eyes it's in fact if a listener dm me i don't know if it was on snarkbait or my personal but she goes chrissy it's going to be a rough season for us.

31:18Like we're going to have to like come in guns a blazing because Kyle is not looking good. And I have no choice but to not stand any longer. This is inappropriate. Yeah, not okay. I mean, at BravoCon, they were asked, the cast was asked who is going to have the most to answer for at the reunion. And like everyone said Kyle. So it's not going to be a good season for Kyle. And Amanda commented. So those photos of Kyle at some fans plays at 5 30 a.m she commented believe it or not this is not the night i was referring to at this point i don't feel bad for amanda i don't feel bad like okay so i do feel bad for her but at the same time it's like this is the choice that she has been consciously making since she said yes to marry him in whatever year it was 2018 it's been seven years now that she has said yes to this man.

32:07Right. And it's sad because she obviously wants, I think she's always wanted it to work and she loves him. And I think part of it also is like, it's a relationship that is also tied to their income. So I think that makes it trickier. And then Dubois reported that, and it's Dubois, so take it with a grain of salt. But also I know that Bravo Leopardy's are friendly with Dubois. and I don't think they're very yeah so I don't think Debois posts things about Bravo that aren't verified Debois posted that Kyle and Amanda are officially living separately it's not looking good for them but at the same time it's like it always looks like this for them like what's new you know yeah and I think I've said this before but I think at the end of the day Amanda it's not that Amanda is unsure if she wants children I genuinely think she is unsure whether she wants children because it's with Kyle because he's still doing this shit and he's out at fans houses at 5 30 a.m I think when she takes a step back and looks at their relationship she's like what am I doing and maybe Paige leaving Craig was kind of this like she something went off in her head where she's like I don't need to say if I don't want to and I think with Amanda and Kyle it's a little bit different to your point because they have this source of income together lover boy and that creates intense complexities.

33:30Like I don't envy that. That's really, really difficult. And I was also thinking too, Demois reported as well that speaking of alcohol brands and couples splitting up, I guess Braxton was an investor in Sipmergs, which is Alex Earl. She's the face of Sipmergs. So I think the reason that's probably common is because alcohol is like a gender neutral type of product. But in any case, this is even more complicated because this is literally Kyle's brand. Like I think that Marks is someone else's brand that maybe both Alex and Braxton threw some money into. But yeah, I feel this is very complicated.

34:03And it also doesn't help that people constantly criticize their relationship after every season of Summer House and at every reunion when Andy feels like, you know, it's a point to talk about. They get held to the fire, and then they just brush it off. And they'll say Amanda's depressed. And they'll kind of just blame it on that and they'll move on. No, no, no. Let's get to the root of this. Yeah. Are you guys happy? Yeah. And clearly, I don't think they've ever been happy. Yeah, I know. And then the other thing in the trailer that I want to talk about is Sierra and West appear to maybe be rekindling.

34:38It sounded like it was maybe Franken-bitten, some of this dialogue where West says, like, how could I not miss her? Or how could I not be in love with her? Or something like that. I don't know if it's actually going to be a scenario where they actually rekindle. It doesn't seem like they're together right now. But also there's like a Jesse Solomon aspect of it, like a love triangle where Jesse expresses that he's like interested in ass West if he if West would mind if he hooked up with Sierra. Sierra better not. I am so serious. Like, I will not feel bad for her if she hooks up with either West or Jesse and they break her heart.

35:18She needs to stop with the fuck boy she needs to know her word she is literally 10 12 out of 10 a supermodel naomi campbell even like maybe even better like she is so pretty and smart and cool she has the total package and she constantly lowers herself to these men that are offering nothing if you want to associate yourself with jesse solomon who's doing these weird fuck ass concerts and like venues of 40 who he's like kind of leaning into the singer thing kind of not everything about jesse is so disgusting to me you left your job at an investor relations to go pursue being an influencer reality star slash singer everything about jesse is like so disgusting if i had to choose between her hooking up with either jesse or west i feel like at least west would be a fun time i can't i i actually cannot with jesse neither of them she she better not with either of them also if i I had the way that Jesse Solomon posted a revolve commission link affiliate link the other day I wanted to I wanted to grow up wait to what do you remember the product he was like I love these pants or something and then no I know I was like you quit your job in finance to post revolve links and oh it's danielle felung now i'm just have you seen immediate immediate the videos of him singing sophie yeah he thinks that he's michael buble he thinks he's frank sinatra i was gonna say he thinks he's frank sinatra and you know what's actually the weirdest part of his weird videos is that he's kind of still making fun of himself but being serious it's like lean in or out either make fun of yourself and have be almost like a comedy ironic or yes thank you you need to commit it's he's straddling both lines and i'm sick of it yeah it's it's so icky and disgusting and i don't know who's paying money to see him if not to just post it on tiktok to get like a tiktok creator fund everything about it is disgusting less i get i think i i don't know i have a soft spot for west you have a soft spot for west i do so let's be clear about that i think they're both thirsty fuck boys i think they love the attention.

37:32They're so calculated. They love the cameras. They love the followers. And I mean, like, I guess, you know, what Bravo Lebron doesn't, but there's something about these two men. It's okay when a woman does it, but when it's two men, I'm like, oh. No, I know. Like, get off my screen. Do you think that Sierra would even think about engaging in another relationship with Wes or even with Jessie. Yes. If it weren't for the cameras. Yes. I think that's like dark then to me. I know. It's really sad because like we said, Sierra's a supermodel, but I think she's like deeply insecure, sadly. And that's why she craves validation from these fuck boys that are emotionally unavailable.

38:18That's her type. That's what she's into. And it sucks. I want her to want better for herself. Because at first I was kind of thinking maybe she's doing it for the ratings. She knows she needs to bring it now that Paige is no longer on Timmerhouse. No. But you think she would literally still do this offline? Yes. Oh, God. I think that she's deeply insecure, sadly. And it's sad because she has no reason to be. She's obviously stunning. She's a catch. So it's unfortunate that I'm going to be cautiously optimistic that this is just editing and that there isn't really a rekindling with Wes or a hookup with Jessie in her future.

38:55I quickly want to talk about, do you see Bethany Brinkle in Architectural Digest? I had not realized this until you put it on our notes, but no, please walk me through it because I did see the screenshots. Oh my God. Oh my God. Okay. So Bethany Brinkle was an Architectural Digest. Her, I think it's her Boca home. It's in South Florida. I think she has a Miami apartment and a Boca house and I'm pretty sure that's her Boca house. Anyway, people are ripping her apart on TikTok for this tacky ass home. So for example, she has a chevron accent wall. No. So like, what is this? A chevron accent wall.

39:38She has a chevron accent wall. She has, this is okay. I think this is the most egregious part, Christy. She has in her kitchen fur Her stools. Her kitchen stools. It's South Florida. This is like, these are stools that you would get, like maybe at like an Aspen, like mountain home or something. Like you're in fucking Boca. Yeah. Okay. She has like these wood tables that are mismatched wood. She has a floor lamp that is positioned on top of a side table. Everything looks like it's from Wayfair. Actually, the Architectural Digest article has commission links and everything is either from CB2 or like Tove.

40:24She is way too rich to have a home this tacky. All of this has started a larger conversation about Architectural Digest turning into an outlet just for celebrity homes rather than truly beautiful and special homes, which is what it's supposed to be because nothing is beautiful or special about this home. And look, I'm not a fucking homeowner, okay? So, like, who am I to talk? Who am I to judge? But, like, come on. This house is tacky. Well, I think given her wealth, it is, let's call it what it is. Yeah. Let's call it like I see it, Katie Mulaney. Like I see it. And apparently she clapped back at one point.

41:00She's been blocking people on TikTok talking about this and she clapped back, but I guess she deleted the clapback. So I didn't see it, but obviously, you know, Bethany Prinkle is always right. She invented everything. She is the arbiter of good taste. So you know that she is not loving this criticism. Speaking of architectural digest, I know I saw that you wrote this down under light energy object. So I saw that you didn't read my notes, Christine. I swear we were typing at the same time. I'll blame it on that. So we both love Kendall Jenner's mountain home. That was just an architectural digest.

41:36It's unfortunately what dreams are made of. It's a shame that she'll only be there like twice a year. What I thought was interesting about the article is that it doesn't name the location. All it says is that this is her mountain home. It's an undisclosed mountain location. Top secret. I kind of understand because she had like a stalker a few years ago. And it's one of the reasons she had to move out of one of her old gorgeous houses was because this stalker knew where she lived. And so I understand them trying to keep it a secret. But like, give us a hint. Like, is it like Utah? Is it Montana?

42:08Is it California? Yeah, I don't. I mean. Like what mountains? Tahoe, Mammoth. She wouldn't be in Big Bear. But yeah, I feel like she would be in Montana or Wyoming or something like that. She wouldn't even do it in California. Right. But I think that her home, she's always had a really, really fabulous taste that I think is for everyone. When you watch these AD tours, there's some styles where you're like, that's cute, but it's not for me. And I think Kendall Jenner's home that she shared before this one, her actual, I think, Beverly Hills home, everyone universally was obsessed with her home.

42:45She has a really good taste and she's talked about, she's not like other girls. She rides horses, she's a tomboy, and she likes to renovate homes. I think this is where she really excels and where her talents really lie if it's not modeling it has to be she could really be an interior designer or like a fixer-upper well she used an interior designer named Heidi Kallier yes so we need to get her props because it wasn't Kendall who designed it but she does have good taste she has really good taste it's like the definition of a rich person who is rich and right because we see so many of these celebrity homes that are so sterile think of like Kim Kardashian's her sisters like Kylie Feral not lived in at all and she said in this article she's like I want it to feel really lived in like she has like this grandma floral print couch custom couch it was built from the ground up but made to look really old and lived in which is just I love it and she has this Airstream like van bus I don't know what exactly an Airstream is categorized as but that's like another guest suite and she has like it's so cool And she has like custom built-in adult bunk beds.

43:50So cool. So stunning. Lots of prints. Lots of color. Like that's exactly if I had all the money in the world, I would love to do something. That's just something really cozy and lived in. Yes. I have so much envy. I can't look at it for too long because then I'm like, I am so sad that I will never have this home. But I think we've talked about this. What are your favorite AD homes? I don't know. That's a good question, actually. Like, I can't. Why can I not think of any off the top of my head? I know that we both love Dakota Johnson's. Yes. I think I think I've talked about this, but Rita Ora's London Cottage.

44:30Yes. So cozy. Yes. I also loved. We talked about this Lily Allen and David Harbour's townhouse in Brooklyn. I loved that house. Oh, I need to watch RIP. I'm trying to think of who else. RuPaul's is super fun. Like not my style at all, but it's really fun and eclectic. Amanda Seyfried's Soho, like Soho house is very pretty. Oh, I think one of my tops that I feel like is vastly underrated is Vanessa Hudgens' Lost Vila's Home. I don't like I've seen that one. It's really good.

45:08If there's one refresh worth making this summer, it's your bedding. Trust me. Summer nights always leave me wanting bedding that feels lighter, more breathable, etc, etc. And Quince has been my go-to for so long now. They focus on high quality materials like European linen and bamboo without the luxury markup. My absolute favorite is their 100 % organic cotton percale sheets 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 matte, smooth, and just has this classic look that instantly elevates our bedroom.

45:42And I love knowing that we're sleeping on 100 % cotton and not some cheap polyester blend. Ugh. You can literally feel the difference. 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, this bedding is made for literal beauty sleep, you guys. Quince has everything you need to upgrade your bedding for summer. Lightweight sheets, airy linen shams, seasonal colors, and timeless patterns like stripes and soft neutrals. And in case you need a reminder, everything at Quince is 50 to 80 % less than similar brands because they work directly with ethical factories and cut out the middleman.

I unfortunately have had very bad shaving experiences from red bumps and ingrown hairs to cuts and razor burn. But just because I'm a hairy Jewish girl does not mean I have to settle for a horrible shaving experience. And as soon as I discovered Flamingo, I realized I don't have to suffer any longer.

46:56Seriously, I've been a fan of Flamingo since before they became a podcast sponsor. With Flamingo, my leg shaving experience is smooth, gentle, and luxurious, not bumpy, rough, and painful. Also, the shave is so close. I used to immediately feel stubble after getting out of the shower. Literally, I'm not exaggerating. It was immediate. And now, just silky smoothness. Flamingo razors feel like they're working with my body and the contours of my legs instead of against them, and it makes all the difference. Finally, shaving is a ritual I enjoy rather than dread. The best part about Flamingo, these razors are made for women by women.

Hi, this is Zoe Deutsch and Nick Robinson.

49:47Our brand new movie, Voicemails for Isabel, is all about those little moments that feel like the universe is looking out. Feeling homesick, then your sister calls. Hearing that perfect song exactly when you need it.

50:02Sometimes life rigs things in our favor, like learning about your new favorite rom-com, Voicemails for Isabel. Only on Netflix, June 19th. I want to move on really fast to something that's like a little bit dark, but it's kind of taken over the internet. And I know that a lot of us aren't, a lot of us girly pops aren't the biggest sports watchers, but have you heard of this Sharon Moore drama, Christy? No, but upon reading your notes, this is scary. So it's actually really dark. So trigger warning. but this has been just all over my for you page and as someone who went to a big 10 school this is like the talk of the town the head coach of university of michigan charone moore he's been the head coach since early 2024 he was fired on wednesday for allegedly having an affair with one of his staffers and he has a wife and three daughters okay like this was an extramarital affair, not appropriate also because this is one of his staffers.

51:05He apparently gave her, he left like such a paper trail. He increased her salary by like 50 % out of nowhere one year. So yeah, making it really obvious that there is something going on, some affair favoritism. I'm not going to name the mistress because I think that it turns out that she is actually the victim in all of this. And I'm sure she's been getting tons of harassment from crazy sports fans and barstool guys. It's like just been such a PR nightmare for everyone involved. Anyway, he got fired this past Wednesday, I believe Wednesday, December 10th. He got fired with cause, meaning that he is missing out on$13 million.

51:55$13 million he is losing now because he got fired for cause, with cause, whatever it's called. As part of his contract, if he had gotten fired because the school was ready to move on or if he had continued to work through his contract, I think, which goes until I want to say like 2020, 2029, maybe he would have gotten a$13 million payout in total. Now he's getting none of that because he had this affair. So he apparently after getting fired, he allegedly broke into her house and held a knife to his throat and threatened to unalive her and himself. And then he was taken into custody. And apparently Apparently it's alleged that he had been stalking her, that she may or may not have been pregnant.

52:48What now? Yeah, that she may or may not have been pregnant. But this is speaking of which he was apparently busted. There was an anonymous tip to the university. And it was because he had door dashed a plan B to his office. And the door dasher was apparently a college student at the university who then was like, holy shit, Coach Moore is door dashing plan B. Like something's going on here. Apparently, when they got the tip at first, they there was like not enough evidence to really do anything about it. but I guess after some digging they discovered that yes this is 100 % real this is valid there's a paper trail clearly yeah so he kind of blew up his professional life and his personal life in one fell swoop from having this affair and I do I do feel for him obviously you know there's some mental health issues going on it's it's a really like sad story I think there are arguments to be made that if he was doing a good job as coach, they had just lost.

54:03Michigan had just lost to their arch rival Ohio State over Thanksgiving, which is bad. It's their first loss against Ohio State in like four or five years, I think. So there's an argument that the school would have covered it up if he had been doing a good job. But because he wasn't doing a good job, he is thrown to the wolves. Either way, he obviously really, really, really fucked up and blew up his entire life. And it's just a crazy story. So he went into his mistress's home. Yeah. He allegedly broke into her house and that's why he was taken into custody. People do such crazy things. Like I always think about when people kill their spouse because they'll collect life insurance and they want to be with their mistress or they'll go and break into their home because they're so unsettled because they're jealous.

54:53like why do you need to take it to that length it makes me wonder is this like a mental illness of some sort or is this just you not being able to control your anger or your emotions this is really really scary and really sad and i feel so badly for his three daughters yeah they're gonna need so much therapy scarlet letter on their chest yeah it's it's very sad for everyone involved. Just absolutely unhinge. And I'm sure it wasn't worth it. It wasn't worth it. So men control your lustful urges. Right. You lost out on$13 million, but most importantly, you've broken up your family out of your lustful urge and vengeance and anger.

55:37Yep. Very dark. Very dark. But yeah, that's recent sports drama for the girlies out there. I don't, you guys know I'm like marginally into football, but like not even that much, but this has been all over my For You page. Okay, speaking of dark, let's get into our dark energy objects. Christy, what is yours? okay so mine is the reckoning documentary about diddy on netflix i watched the hbo and max documentary and that was really informative as it pertains to the assaults that he inflicted on innocent women men his staffers the like the thing i appreciated however on the netflix documentary that wasn't necessarily touched on other documentaries i've seen at least was the east side, West side rap battle and the deaths of Tupac, the death of Biggie and how at every point where someone was killed, Diddy was right there in some kind of vicinity.

56:38I think the most insightful part of the Biggie death and what made me think, oh, this is the smoking gun. I think Diddy had something to do with Biggie's death was the co-founder of Bad Boy was on the documentary. He said, listen, Biggie and I had this huge press tour that we were supposed to do in the UK. we were supposed to get on a jet get to the uk the day after they were in la in in la and at the beginning i told biggie and and diddy do not go to la you will get shot if you go there because they have the i think it was the bloods on our asses they have the entire like gang community that is going that is targeting us you're putting a target on your back if you go there and you're showing up you're showing out you're showing up at awards shows you're going to after parties people are you're a moving target and diddy's like no no me and biggie are going to la i don't give a fuck what you say so the day before they are set to go to the uk diddy calls this bad boy co-founder he goes by the way biggie's not going to the uk click hangs up and the guy's like we have press for lined up interviews what are you talking about the next day biggie was shot yeah and it It was Diddy that was insistent on Biggie not flying to the UK.

57:49Why? Because he set him up. He was one pissed that Biggie was not engaging in the East Side, West Side rap battle because Tupac was coming out saying, fuck bad boy, fuck Biggie. And Diddy was urging Biggie, please, please speak up. They're coming after us. And Biggie's like, I don't want to get involved. And then I might be botching this, you guys. I'm sorry. This is kind of like very high level. and then Diddy above all else was very threatened by anyone that was more famous than him. He's like oh no no I don't have the chops to be a rapper but I'm managing all these rappers so one I'm going to put myself and insert myself in all your music videos pay myself out and actually leave you with barely any royalties I'm just going to collect all the checks on your behalf.

58:31Yeah. And somewhere on your contract is going to say that I'm actually I did earn all these wages and you just are left with crumbs basically diddy could not stand anyone that he felt threatened by biggie being one of them tupac being one of them and he took them out and then he subsequently profited off of biggie's death yeah it is fascinating and so sadistic and so dark and i thought the most interesting part actually besides the east side west side was when the videographer was following diddy a couple of days prior to his trial i guess diddy ended up not paying the videographer so the videographer basically sold the rights to the videos.

59:06And there is this one piece in the documentary where Diddy goes, I want to go to Harlem. I want to see my community, my people. And he's shaking hands, kissing babies, taking photos with all these people in Harlem. The second he gets into that SUV, he goes, oh, does anyone have hand sanitizer? I've been out with people. I need to take a scalding hot bath. Oh, disgusting. And all these people were saying, Diddy felt incredibly uncomfortable around Black people. Didn't want to be around them. Like, he had to be the best. and diddy the devil reincarnated i'm sorry yeah he is very clearly a sociopath narcissist everything he's really really really terrifying in that video of biggie being so scared he was crying he was like someone's trying to kill me like i know that my life is in danger and it is so upsetting and so sad like he knew he knew what was about to happen it is so freaking sad fuck Diddy.

1:00:02I watched the first two episodes of The Reckoning and I had to stop. It was so upsetting to me. Just very, very, very dark. I can't believe I see it. But also very enlightening because we were so young. Like that, the East Side, West Side thing. I think the start of like the hip hop movement in the early 90s. It's like a really interesting history lesson. Very, very dark and Diddy literally is the devil. It's crazy because these powerful people were also so intertwined with the gangs. Yeah. And this documentary felt so legitimately gangster. Like it was gangster shit. People just shooting. If you disagree, like it's crazy.

1:00:44People will take your life in a minute. It was a really informative documentary, really compelling. I was like in trance. I couldn't, I didn't blink. I have one episode left. And if you guys are interested in like i mean interested is not the right word but if you guys want to learn more about the other allegations against city as it pertains to like his victims and the assaults and everything hbo max has a very very good documentary about that yeah so my dark energy object is a little sillier have you ever been working from home and you're like so lost in the sauce that you end up missing a meeting i feel like that wouldn't happen to you i'm like because I usually get that think like the team's notification meeting in five minutes.

1:01:27Yeah. Sometimes I'm like full do not disturb. I'm lost in the sauce. I was like and I'm also like a writer. So like I was just like writing, writing, writing. You were in like a table. I know. No, literally, literally like I was in a flow state and that's how I explained it later. I was like, I'm so sorry. So I was in a flow state. I knew I had a 430 meeting, but I was in such a flow state. And then all of a sudden time didn't matter. and then all of a sudden I look at the clock and it's 5 30 and I open my slack and first I was like just on my phone was on do not disturb I think I turned off my notifications so I was writing and I was trying to concentrate I had like 70 notifications being like hey are you joining the meeting that was at 4 30 is there any worse feeling no yeah oh my god yeah that's that's the worst feeling and when you're working from home you're like sometimes just in your bubble yeah it's like the worst feeling in the world luckily everyone was very understanding I explained that I was in a flow state and I turned in this very big thing that I had been working on and so I had like a good excuse it wasn't like I was like taking a nap I was like oh my god I finished this I literally was like guys you're not gonna believe how good this is and then I saw my notifications I was like no at least you were working like that actually to me if an employee of mine was like, sorry, I was in like an Excel like flow state.

1:02:49I'd be like, oh yeah, like I get it sometimes. No, you're good. It's not like you were fucking around. Yeah. Is there any worse feeling than logging into your Slack and having 7 million notifications of people being like, hey, are you joining from an hour before? Okay. So my light energy objects, have you watched owning Manhattan with Ryan's Sirhands yet? Everyone is talking about it. I love it. It's so good. And Henry loves it too. Henry's like weirdly obsessed with Ryan Serhant. Like I think that he looks up to him, but it's so good. It's like so much better than selling sunset in my opinion, because it feels like actually real.

1:03:25And season two just came out. And it's one of those things where Henry and I finally have a show that we like to watch together. It's not, it's not often that we have a show that we agree on. So I can't watch it when Henry is not around and Henry works a lot. So I've only been able to watch two episodes so far, which sucks, but it is so good. You guys love Ryan Serhant. Obviously, you know, the real estate porn of it all is always fun. So highly recommend that. My other recommendation of the day is, do you follow Kelly Rutherford on Instagram, AKA Lily Vanderwoodson? No, but she's kind of had a renaissance, a renaissance lately.

1:04:08I've been seeing her a lot of my TikTok of like man on the street type interviews. She has like the best style. And she also posts like her entire feed is either mirror photos of her outfits or inspirational quotes. And she's just like such a good follow. So everyone go follow her. I'm obsessed with her. I'm obsessed with her style. I'm obsessed with her inspirational quotes. I just love her feed. So yeah, Lily Vanderwoodson. She's legends never die. But legends never die. But heroes. What is it? Legends never die, but heroes. I'm thinking of the Sandlot. No, or you're thinking of the Dark Knight.

1:04:47You either live, you either die, you either, you either die a hero. Heroes live forever. That's what it is. Legends never die, but heroes live forever. No, heroes, no, sorry. Heroes get remembered, but legends never die. Really? You killed that. the dark night the dark night is you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain which one applies to snarkbait hosts i think we're already villains

1:06:59It's finally summer, which means all of us, hopefully most of us, are going to be spending a lot more time outside touching grass. And when was the last time you upgraded your outdoor furniture situation? Wayfair is your one-stop shop for outdoor seating, grills, appliances, patio lighting, storage, rugs, decor, you name it. Everything you need to make your outdoor area the best seat in the house. We only have an itty-bitty balcony in New York City, but thanks to Wayfair, we made the most of our tiny space with a perfect little bistro set and twinkle lights. I'm so excited it's finally warm enough to use it again.

1:07:31My favorite thing to do during the warm weather months is have coffee and breakfast out there with Baxter on sunny mornings. It's my favorite start to the day and it wouldn't be possible without my Wayfair furniture. I also really appreciate that Wayfair has installation and assembly services because outdoor furniture can be heavy and intimidating to assemble. It makes the experience truly seamless and stress-free. But my favorite part about Wayfair, you don't have to take out a freaking loan or remortgage your house just to make your space as gorgeous as possible. Especially if you, like me, are not in your forever home yet and you don't want to slurge on major investment pieces.

1:08:03I love how affordable everything at Wayfair is. Patio season is here and these deals won't last. Head to Wayfair.com right now to get your outdoor space ready for way less. That's W-A-Y-F-A-I-R.com. Wayfair, every style, every home. I've been a diehard TaskRabbit stan long before they were a sponsor. I cannot remember the last time I moved without enlisting a tasker, whether it was for assembling furniture, mounting a TV, hanging artwork or shelves. The list goes on. And it's not just during a move where your to-do list can feel like it's 10 pages long. Sometimes I really just need an extra hand for those little things I feel like I never end up getting around to myself, like hanging the collage wall I promised myself I'd do for months.

1:08:44Wherever you are, TaskRabbit is here to help. TaskRabbit connects you with skilled taskers in your area for moving, furniture assembly, home repairs, yard work, mounting, you name it. You can search for a tasker based on cost, skill set, availability, and past client reviews so you know exactly who's showing up and can have confidence they know what they're doing. Taskers have assembled over 3.4 million pieces of furniture, completed 700 ,000 home repairs, handled 1.5 million moves, and counting. It's okay to ask for help with your to-do list. In fact, it's the most efficient way to get things done, in my humble opinion.

1:09:16When life happens, your to-do list grows. Get ahead of it now and get$15 off your first task at TaskRabbit.com or on the TaskRabbit app using promo code SNARK. Taskers book up fast, especially for same-day tasks, so book trusted home help today. That's$15 off your first task using promo code SNARK with the TaskRabbit app or at TaskRabbit.com. If there's one refresh worth making this summer, it's your bedding. Trust me. Summer nights always leave me wanting bedding that feels lighter, more breathable, etc, etc. And Quince has been my go-to for so long now. They focus on high-quality materials like European linen and bamboo without the luxury markup.

1:09:52My absolute favorite is their 100 % organic cotton percale sheets 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 matte, smooth, 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. Ugh. You can literally feel the difference. 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.

1:10:27This bedding is made for literal beauty sleep, you guys. Quince has everything you need to upgrade your bedding for summer. Lightweight sheets, airy linen shams, seasonal colors, and timeless patterns like stripes and soft neutrals. And in case you need a reminder, everything at Quince is 50 to 80 % less than similar brands because they work directly with ethical factories and cut out the middleman. So you're paying for quality, not a name brand markup. Elevate your summer betting. Go to quince.com slash snarkbait for free shipping on your order and 365 day returns. Now available in Canada too.

1:10:58That's quince.com slash snarkbait for free shipping and 365 day returns. Quince.com slash snarkbait. With the weather lately, I feel like I'm always out and about doing things. Errands, workouts, beach days, you name it. And when summer hits, I am always reminded that I need clothes that can actually keep up with all of that. And that's why I joined Fabletics as a VIP. It completely changed how I shop for a new season. New VIPs unlock major savings on their first purchase, so stocking up on cute, comfortable pieces doesn't feel like some major splurge. When I signed up as a new VIP with Fabletics, I got 70 to 80 % off of everything.

1:11:36It made it so easy to grab multiple matching sets, shorts, tanks, and lounge pieces for the summer without overthinking it. And the quality is genuinely so good. Fabletics pieces feel like ultra luxe activewear you'd expect from some of those higher-end brands, you know the ones, but without the hefty price tag. These pieces are built to actually last, and I love that for me. My genuine absolute favorite piece I've gotten is the Anywhere Cropped Bra Tank. It's a perfect workout top that I can throw on for a workout just to record, run errands, go out to lunch. And genuinely, my boobs look really good.

1:12:07They're like, they suck in and like perk up just the way I like it.
