Snarky in the Suburbs

Facebook led me to your podcasts just when I needed you! I am 65, a lap swimmer, two kids in late 20s not married yet, not a pushover, love Diet Coke, husband on verge of retirement, Midwest gal, shop J Crew and Loft, never miss a Dateline, love to ski. I do believe we would get along famously! Anyway…love, love, love your podcast and am so excited for the next episode of Traitors. Can’t wait for you to be able to talk more; I know you had to be subdued for the first couple of shows. You looked marvelous! Only wish that you had the time to be on every day, but we do have other things to do at our age. I am telling everybody about your podcast and just ordered your first book off Amazon. Can’t wait to read it. Keep telling us all those “snarky stories”, some of us really need a laugh every day. Especially the “snarky confessional confessions”. My husband is a Lutheran minister, so we really laugh about the title. The stories about Baylor are a hoot. 5 stars to Sherry! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Snarky has such an amazing repertoire of stories and is on point with advice! Enjoy her delivery!! Part of the Snarky Squad!

Do you find yourself frequently asking, “What is wrong with these people?”Every episode of Snarky will introduce you to people who lack common sense or decorum or kindness, often all three. Snarky is a decent story teller who usually gives good advice delivered with equal measures humor & outrage. Why 3 stars? I have never once heard Snarky say, “Let it go,” or ask, “Why do you care so much?” That advice would be off brand for Snarky but some letter writers need it desperately. But if you think tacky wedding invitations or lousy food at baby showers are worthy of analysis & response this is the show for you. That said, my husband and I usually enjoy this Southern flavored perk into the angst of affluent suburbia. My enjoyment wanes when the snark turns nasty as it did on episode 116. A 51 year old women wrote complaining that a medical professional was pushing alternative paths to sexual satisfaction because the woman’s 75 year husband was no longer able to “perform in the bedroom”. Snark was deployed about the age gap.Snarky even suggested the woman was waiting for her husband’s death. Sadly, the only advice given was on how to shut down the medical provider. The poor husband’s perspective was never considered. The wife who was, “glad the door is closed”, because she had been “pretending” for years needed a kick in her tight 🫏. For many physical intimacy is an important part of life. This poor man’s physical challenges and possible sense of shame, rejection and loneliness in the last season of life, deserved compassion. Sherry should have dropped the snark and nudged the writer toward reflection on what it means to be a loving partner and the value of honesty in a marriage. We all like to laugh at ridiculous people but laughter without kindness leaves a nasty taste in my mouth.

Every single time she inhaled she ticks her tongue before starting another sentence. Once you hear it, you can hear and I'm sorry for bringing this to your attention . Nonetheless , Relatable and funny and Sherry is so on point with so many of her opinions/observations. If you like dissecting petty human behavior then this is great.
