**Sophie Ross Brooks** (0:45)
Hey, everybody. Welcome back to Snark Bait. I'm Sophie.

**Christy Noel** (0:48)
I'm Christy.

**Sophie Ross Brooks** (0:50)
How are we doing? How was your weekend? It is Monday, August 24th.

**Christy Noel** (0:55)
I had to put my phone on D&D. I always forget. Um, it, well, how was my weekend? Um, yeah, it was okay.
Um, just okay.

**Sophie Ross Brooks** (1:07)
Okay. Wow.

**Christy Noel** (1:10)
Yeah.

**Sophie Ross Brooks** (1:10)
I don't know.

**Christy Noel** (1:11)
I don't know. Yeah, there's just a couple of things on my mind, Nance.

**Sophie Ross Brooks** (1:15)
No, okay.

**Christy Noel** (1:16)
But, uh, for the most part, you know, this will be my Elio. But in the spirit of things being out of control, um, I was just like, I need to do something for me, you know? So, um, I booked a trip to London to see my sister again, even though she just left. She left yesterday, so I'm gonna see Monroe all over again. And also, how sweet is this?
Um, my sister's antenatal group, they're all baby Snarks now and they're obsessed with the show. So every time they hear about Monroe, they're like, oh my gosh, I'm a bit of celebrity because I know the daughter. Yeah.

**Sophie Ross Brooks** (2:02)
I know your daughter.

**Christy Noel** (2:03)
I know. I always love it when, like, our sister's friends listen.

**Sophie Ross Brooks** (2:06)
Yeah. Yeah. A bunch of my sister's friends came to our Chicago live show.
Um, so cute. I love that. Oh, and also, my sister recently started a new job, and it's somehow...

**Christy Noel** (2:16)
Congratulations to Mandy.

**Sophie Ross Brooks** (2:18)
Yeah, congrats, Mandy. And she...
I forget how it came up that she was like, oh, my sister's a podcaster and has a podcast called Snark Bait, and one of her new coworkers, I think I told you this, is a baby Stark. And it was, like, the perfect icebreaker.

**Christy Noel** (2:32)
That's crazy. Like, that is so cool. And the fact that it was... Because, like, Audrey told her friend, her mom friends about our show, but the fact that it was just, like, serendipitously, Mandy's coworker knew about Snark Bait, it's very cool.

**Sophie Ross Brooks** (2:46)
That never gets old.
Um, yeah, I love it. And, yeah, I also had a pretty boring weekend. I mean, I spent time with my in-laws. We went to my in-laws, and the weather was, like, giving fall this weekend, which I loved. Like, there is a chill in the air.
I'm sure it's gonna be, like, 90 degrees this week again in New York, but I loved kind of the fall preview, weather rise this weekend. I'm, like, I'm obsessed with fall. I'm sorry. Like, I'm gonna miss summer, but I'm not one of those people that's like, oh, my God, I'm so sad summer's over. I'm like, yes, spring on fall.

**Christy Noel** (3:23)
Okay. Must be nice, because everyone needs to check on your Southern California friends because we're experiencing, like, a really severe heat wave, and we have them for the last month.

**Sophie Ross Brooks** (3:30)
Oh, God, I'm sorry.

**Christy Noel** (3:31)
And do you see this bruise, by the way?

**Sophie Ross Brooks** (3:33)
Oy, what's that from?

**Christy Noel** (3:34)
Dude, I know. For you guys watching on YouTube, I'm, like, so self-conscious about this bruise. I get allergy shots because I have really severe allergies, and the nurse, it was a new nurse, and it's supposed to be a subcutaneous shot, so it's not supposed to go super deep.

**Sophie Ross Brooks** (3:48)
Right.

**Christy Noel** (3:48)
But she definitely did, because I had, like, a welt.

**Sophie Ross Brooks** (3:51)
That is not normal, you guys. I thought it was, like, I was, like, do you have a birthmark that I didn't know about? No, it's huge.

**Christy Noel** (3:57)
It's really, really bad. Like, it's, if you think this looks bad, it was worse. This was almost, this is almost a week old.

**Sophie Ross Brooks** (4:04)
Wait, I love how Christy's, like, I'm really self-conscious about my bruise, and she's lifting up her arm, and she's wearing a tank top.

**Christy Noel** (4:11)
Who wants to see it?
