I have literally always been obsessed with the Ruggable and rave about Ruggable to whoever listens, which is why I was thrilled and shocked when I found out they were going to sponsor the pod. My kitchen runner, foyer runner, outdoor balcony rug, and living room rug are all Ruggable. I'm not exaggerating. Not only do they have the chicest designs or whatever you're looking for, whether your style is boho, modern, classic, the rugs are both stain resistant and machine washable. This is key for me as a New Yorker with a dog. You don't even want to know what kind of city sludge he can drag into the house on any given day. But with Ruggable, you don't have to worry about professional carpet cleaners or big machines. You can just throw it in the wash and it comes out looking as high quality as the day you got it. It's truly a game changer. Oh, and the non-slip backing that every single one of the rugs has, also key for having a dog with the zoomies. So they're functional for high traffic homes, yes, but they're also fashionable. I truly take pride in my interior design skills and my guests always compliment my rugs. Thanks, Ruggable. Love you and so happy you're a sponsor now. Refresh your home at ruggable.com. Get 10% off your first order sitewide with promo code snark at ruggable.com.

Hey everybody. Welcome back to another episode of Snark Bait. It is Dark Energy Tuesday, the best day of the week. I'm Christy.

**Sophie** (2:29)
I'm Sophie.

**Christy** (2:30)
And oh my gosh, we have so much to talk about. I'm, I know you're not watching Love Island, but I have so many thoughts and I'm glad you were like five minutes late because I had to like, yeah, brain dump everything I needed to talk about on our outline. But before we get into it, Sophie, how you doing? We are like a week out from our tour. And this is the first time we've kind of been like back at home. How was your weekend?

**Sophie** (2:53)
It was. So this isn't our first recording since our live shows. We recorded our Thursday episode and our Patreon episode last week, but you guys will hear this first. So just want to say up top, thank you all so much for making our New York show and our Chicago show so incredible last weekend. It was so amazing meeting so many of you. Our Friday show, a thunderstorm hit right before it, and we still had a freaking full house. Our Chicago show was on a Sunday night, still had almost a full house. It was just incredible. I just feel so grateful and I had the fucking time of my life. I know that those of you who DMed me and DMed the Snark Bait account, you guys said you had the best time ever too. So it was so much fun. I'm so glad we did our Three City World Tour. I spent the entire weekend recharging. I went to a park day with some of my girlfriends on Saturday, did yoga yesterday.
It was just the most relaxing weekend I could ever ask for after the chaos of last weekend.

**Christy** (4:01)
Yeah. Being outside, being at a park with your girlfriend, which by the way, I friended. Do people still say friended on Instagram?

**Sophie** (4:09)
