What if I told you, you only have 12 hours to legally have sex?

**SPEAKER_3** (0:32)
To finding true love. Or just like a good guy.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:36)
From the director of Easy A and Anyone But You.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:39)
This whole thing is nuts.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:41)
There's nothing traditional about this night. On August 7th, the clock starts on the summer's biggest rom-com. I'm Owen.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:48)
Ally.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:49)
What about you and me? Monica Barbaro, Callum Turner.

**SPEAKER_6** (0:52)
I've been told I'm a seven.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:53)
By who, your mom?

**SPEAKER_6** (0:54)
No, she thinks I'm a ten.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:56)
One night only. Rated R. Only in Peters, August 7th.

Amazon Health AI presents Painful Thoughts.

**SPEAKER_8** (1:05)
I can't stop scratching my downtown.
Yeah, but I'm not itching to go downtown and tell a receptionist I'm here to talk about my downtown. Some things you'd rather type than say out loud.

**SPEAKER_7** (1:18)
There's no question too embarrassing for Amazon Health AI.
Chat your symptoms and get virtual care 24-7. Health care just got less painful.

**Christy** (1:43)
Hey, everyone. Welcome back to another episode of Snark Bait. I'm Christy.

**Sophie** (1:48)
I'm Sophie.

**Christy** (1:49)
It's another Dark Energy Tuesday, best day of the week, Sophie. How's it going?

**Sophie** (1:55)
It is going well. I saw The Odyssey yesterday, you guys. It was so good. It like exceeded the hype.
And I was worried that I was too stupid to enjoy another one of Christopher Nolan's movies because I'm too stupid for Memento.
I'm too stupid for Inception, Interstellar. But they really dumbed it down for us. And I was thoroughly entertained. I saw it in IMAX in New Jersey at 10 a.m. because everything is sold out. So, highly recommend. And that was basically my weekend. How are you, Kristen? You're out of town.

**Christy** (2:32)
Yes, I am out of town and I am in Ojai. It's like a little east of Santa Barbara with my family just on like a little staycation. So we're staying in this like, it's like this big kind of cabin. It's really cool. They have goats on the property and everything. So, yeah, it's cute for my niece.
So by the time you guys listen to this, well, I'll still be here. So that's why if you're on YouTube, youtube.com/atsnarkbaitpod, you'll see my background is a little bit different. And it's just, let me just tell you, having to grab your equipment and move it.

**Sophie** (3:09)
I actually did not think you were going to bring the fancy camera.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:12)
I know.

**Sophie** (3:12)
I'm impressed that you did. Like our cameras that we use for like the high quality video, you guys are so clunky and annoying.

**Christy** (3:21)
Like it's genuinely just too much.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:24)
It's too much.

**Christy** (3:25)
It's too much. But yeah, no, we went to the Ojai Valley Inn yesterday for dinner. And have you heard of that hotel, Sophie?

**Sophie** (3:33)
I feel like I have. I'm not as like proficient in California things as you are, but I definitely have heard of it.

**Christy** (3:41)
Yeah, it's like a really fancy, schmancy hotel. And do you know corporate Natalie? Oh, we were talking about her offline.

**Sophie** (3:49)
Yeah, because Stark Bait only follows three people on Instagram, me, Christy and Drew Starkey, obviously.

**Christy** (3:57)
Duh, our boyfriend.

**Sophie** (3:58)
And we noticed that like someone followed a fourth person who was this random girl. Who was this girl?

**Christy** (4:04)
I don't even know who she is, to be honest. She's Victoria, she's Victoria Garrick Brown and corporate Natalie's friend, I think from high school. I don't like, I follow corporate Natalie because I think some of her stuff is like funny. And I think she's done very well for herself like creating this, I don't know, she just is like brilliant, I think when it comes to this space and she's earned a lot of money from it. But she got married at the Ojai Valley Inn. But anyways, I was on corporate Natalie's Instagram and like her, Victoria Garrick Brown and this other girl, who I guess also lives in SF with them or with Natalie, she's like another influencer, a relatable millennial girl. And I guess I accidentally followed her and Rachel texted us and was like, hey, I'm just checking in.
