  <itunes:subtitle>Fingers Malloy is joined by guest co-host Teri Christoph of Smart Girl Politics for a packed episode of The Snark Factor. Fingers and Teri break down Virginia’s redistricting fight, the legal battle ahead, and what it could mean beyond the Commonwealth. Then they turn to America’s housing crunch, with blame aimed at baby boomers, and ask why starter homes seem to have vanished. Finally, cruise-ship weddings are apparently a thing now, which leads to destination-wedding etiquette, norovirus, rogue waves, and Fingers explaining — once again — why he is not built for life at sea.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>Fingers Malloy is joined by guest co-host Teri Christoph of Smart Girl Politics for a wide-ranging episode of The Snark Factor covering Virginia redistricting, housing, boomers, cruise weddings, and why Fingers remains spiritually opposed to floating vacation prisons.
First, Fingers and Teri break down Virginia’s redistricting fight after voters narrowly approved a constitutional amendment that could allow Democrats to redraw the state’s congressional map. Teri explains the legal challenges, the court fight ahead, Ken Cuccinelli’s read on the case, and why the proposed 10–1 map has Republicans sounding the alarm far beyond Virginia.
Then the conversation turns to America’s housing crunch, with Fingers and Teri debating whether baby boomers are really to blame for holding onto their homes — or whether the real problem is supply, immigration, regulation, inflated expectations, and the disappearance of the humble starter home.
Finally, the show wraps with a story about couples getting married on cruise ships, which leads exactly where you’d expect: destination wedding etiquette, norovirus, Uncle Harold at the buffet, rogue waves, Teri defending cruises, and Fingers making it clear that unless a cigar balcony and a time machine to 1980 are involved, he remains unavailable for sea travel.
It’s politics, housing, generational warfare, and cruise-ship panic — all on The Snark Factor.
