Christy Noel (1:18)

Hey, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of Snark Bait. We're doing a little bit of a different thing today. Sophie has a family matter she's taken care of this week, so we have the lovely, beautiful, stunning, hilarious OOR hanging out with us today.

And I'm so excited to have you back on the mic. Olivia, how are you doing?

Olivia (1:41)

I'm good. Thank you for having me. I'm excited to be here this morning. Christy and I were just talking about how we're both a little hungover from our sleep medication last night. So we're a little tipsy this morning in a way.

So anything we say, you can't hold it against us, unless it's really funny, then we will take all the credit for that.

Christy Noel (2:02)

Yes, please do not hold anything against us today because Olivia and I were just saying how we both had some anxiety of like not, when you're already tired, but you can't go to sleep. And then that anxiety makes you even more restless. Like it's insult to injury. And so we both took a sleeping aid yesterday and we were both like, oh my god, like obviously I want to be here to record and like talk all the things because we have a lot of things on the document, but like we're both so sleepy.

But maybe this will wake us up, you know?

Olivia (2:32)

Yeah, yeah.

Christy Noel (2:34)

I look forward to, how was your weekend? What did you, you've been very busy. Olivia, she produces plays, she's an actor, but how was your weekend?

Olivia (2:42)

It was good. I've been so, so busy, but this is the life I chose. This is the life of a show girl, you guys. I produced a play the past two weeks, and we closed yesterday, so we had a strike and all the things are we closed this weekend. But it was really successful and they did an amazing job, and it's all great. I've just been going, going, going.

But that is showbiz, baby.

Christy Noel (3:08)

Now, you have been, she's been a world traveler, you've been in LA, she's been behind the scenes producing a play. She's still been helping us write for the show. Like, you are a woman of many, many roles, many hats, many talents. And one of them now being a sub-in for When Neither, Sophie and I Are Unable to Make It every week. But no, I'm so happy to hear. We have so many things to talk about.

And I just want to dive right into it. So, number one, Rhony, Reboot. Which, can you even call it a reboot? Because they're on season three of the reboot anymore?

Olivia (3:47)

I've been saying, like, reboot of the reboot. Like, they're trying to...

I don't know if they changed producers or what they did. It seems different, but I didn't really watch last season. I think I tried the first couple episodes. But I think I'm all in this season. I like the first two episodes, has it been so far?

Christy Noel (4:04)

Yep.

Olivia (4:05)

Yeah, what do you think about it?

Christy Noel (4:07)

No, I'm exactly in the same boat. I did watch season one of the Rhony reboot with, like, Jenna Lyons and everything. But I did not watch their sophomore season because, and I heard it was a complete flop, the only episode I watched was when Uba and Brynn got into it. Now I'm realizing Uba's not on the show anymore.

Was she on the show? I'm like, oh, my God, because I remember there was a lot of issues with Brynn being on the show because people hated her. Yeah. I honestly can't remember for what. I briefly remember it. But Uba's not on the show. But now their junior season, the third season of the reboot, has a bunch of newbies. They have Erica Hammond, who is married to Encore Jane, who I did a deep dive on. He is a very impressive man.
