- 1:12Speaker 1: drink that Samantha made. Yes, I mean, can you describe
- 1:16Speaker 1: you want to describe it? I was gonna let you,
- 1:19Speaker 1: but yes, no, I created a new I guess cocktail.
- 1:23Speaker 1: It's not new. I'm sure people have done it, but
- 1:25Speaker 1: it's new to me. Where I took fresh lemon juice,
- 1:29Speaker 1: fresh cherries, fresh basil, uh and then take someone gave
- 1:33Speaker 1: because I have someone here, no judgment please, um and
- 1:36Speaker 1: some vodka and I muddled it all together and then
- 1:40Speaker 1: I poured it in a glass and added some sparkling water.
- 1:44Speaker 1: But yeah, so we wanna call it the Cherry on Top. Oh,
- 1:46Speaker 1: I like it, and it's the color is beautiful, It's
- 1:50Speaker 1: very vibrant, it's very refreshing, a light for summer. But
- 1:52Speaker 1: I think it's perfect for her sex in the city
- 1:54Speaker 1: because they drink a lot of cosmopolitics. This the color
- 1:57Speaker 1: wise very reminiscent of a cosm Paul time. But like
- 2:00Speaker 1: I said, the cherry on top, the cherry on Top,
- 2:03Speaker 1: And thank you Samantha for making this and sharing it. Um.
- 2:07Speaker 1: As always, if you do choose to drink during these segments,
- 2:09Speaker 1: please do so responsibly. But yeah, this is a nice
- 2:14Speaker 1: cocktail for whatever. On season two episode four. Okay, so
- 2:22Speaker 1: yes we are on a season two episode four. Let's
- 2:25Speaker 1: do a quick recap us on the episode three. Okay,
- 2:30Speaker 1: Episode three was tricky for me, but in terms of
- 2:34Speaker 1: guessing what it was about. But essentially it was like
- 2:38Speaker 1: all men are who aren't who aren't taken, who are
- 2:43Speaker 1: single after thirty are problematic, but then you look in
- 2:48Speaker 1: the mirror as a woman and you also have your
- 2:51Speaker 1: own issues. Samantha's laughing at my facial expression and pantomiming
- 2:57Speaker 1: I'm looking in the mirror at recording bing is amazing.
- 3:01Speaker 1: I mean you're getting a whole actual airs. Yes, yes,
- 3:06Speaker 1: so that I think. I mean, maybe I'm reading too
- 3:10Speaker 1: deeply into it, but carries still hung up on big
- 3:14Speaker 1: and that's expressing itself via other relationships. We had Mr Pussy,
- 3:21Speaker 1: which I guess we should talk about. These are not
- 3:25Speaker 1: necessarily save for work. Perhaps were like, I like how
- 3:30Speaker 1: we put that at the end. Yeah, Charlotte was with him,
- 3:35Speaker 1: but they had like no real foundation of relationship, but
- 3:38Speaker 1: very good sex. Meanwhile, Samantha got some plastic surgery done.
- 3:44Speaker 1: But then I sort of had a moment of breakdown
- 3:48Speaker 1: at what the doctor was suggesting other things she should
- 3:51Speaker 1: get done. Um. And this was based on a man
- 3:54Speaker 1: during a sexual interaction telling her she was old, an
- 3:59Speaker 1: old woman. Um, and she kind of panicked. I mean
- 4:03Speaker 1: it's sure though she was older. I am an older
- 4:05Speaker 1: woman in our relationship as well, with that relationship with
- 4:09Speaker 1: my partner, but it's still kind of shocking. Well, yeah,
- 4:12Speaker 1: and I mean that was the first date. There was
- 4:14Speaker 1: a lot of talk about first dates in that episode
- 4:16Speaker 1: in past episodes, and so that was to come out
- 4:19Speaker 1: on a first date and say that. But I mean,
- 4:23Speaker 1: like Sam does not do first dates as she does
- 4:27Speaker 1: state sex after first dates, sex after first dates. Well,
- 4:30Speaker 1: very good, it is good. That's a good weekend, all right.
- 4:33Speaker 1: So this one I have a feeling you're going to
- 4:35Speaker 1: have a hard time with as well. The titles have
- 4:38Speaker 1: been hard. That decided to make it a little harder
- 4:41Speaker 1: this time around. I think that didn't on purpose. There
- 4:43Speaker 1: was they knew what was going to happen today, um
- 4:47Speaker 1: specifically with us obviously. So you're ready for this title? Yes,
- 4:52Speaker 1: I had to look it up because it's kind of longer.
- 4:54Speaker 1: It is called they shoot single people, don't they? Oh
- 4:59Speaker 1: my gosh, they shoot single people, don't they? There is
- 5:03Speaker 1: a famous actor that you're going to love on here
- 5:06Speaker 1: that it makes an appearance very quick. Oh, it's more excited.
- 5:11Speaker 1: I don't know who could be Okay, I mean it
- 5:18Speaker 1: has to be some It has to be something around
- 5:21Speaker 1: judgment around single people. But who is they in this question?
- 5:27Speaker 1: Who is they in this context? As you think too?
- 5:32Speaker 1: I think too deep. We need Christine. I'm never going
- 5:35Speaker 1: to forget as she nailed it at one time. Oh good,
- 5:40Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, judgment around single people, that's all
- 5:43Speaker 1: I got. A right, that's vague. And yeah, and they
- 5:47Speaker 1: go to a globe A right, let's not completely well,
- 5:56Speaker 1: I think that should be every time they go to
- 5:58Speaker 1: work globe. All right, Well, here we go. Let's see
- 6:05Speaker 1: if they go to a club. They're at the club.
- 6:23Speaker 1: One point for you. Friends all found themselves without a
- 6:28Speaker 1: relationship at the exact same time. So that is a
- 6:32Speaker 1: thing your friend group maybe more so. But my friend group,
- 6:36Speaker 1: I've not had them. Whereas everyone is single, I'm typically
- 6:39Speaker 1: always just the single one and everybody else is a relation.
- 6:43Speaker 1: It's rare. I feel like in my particular friend group,
- 6:47Speaker 1: we have had a lot of times where we've all
- 6:48Speaker 1: been single and we very much lean into it. It's nice. Actually, yeah,
- 6:56Speaker 1: it's fun life without men. Were going dancing with your friends? Yeah,
- 7:01Speaker 1: su club I have, but that period of my life
- 7:05Speaker 1: is mostly over, but for a while, yeah, and it
- 7:10Speaker 1: was really fun. That's why I do. When I was
- 7:12Speaker 1: Zoomba or I go hang out with my workout friends
- 7:16Speaker 1: and our cardio jam I did go to one that
- 7:21Speaker 1: was very fun where we were all single and we
- 7:25Speaker 1: had a code and we had like, oh, if I'm
- 7:27Speaker 1: dancing with this guy and I give you like this look.
- 7:29Speaker 1: And I remember talking to a guy and my friend
- 7:31Speaker 1: gave me the look and I was like, I'm sorry,
- 7:32Speaker 1: I gotta go rescue her. And I just went and
- 7:34Speaker 1: did it. And it was nice. So if you saw
- 7:36Speaker 1: someone too close, my move was to literally come in
- 7:39Speaker 1: between the dude or someone coming to you and you
- 7:41Speaker 1: grab the girl's hand, spin them out. That dancing partner.
- 7:45Speaker 1: That good was it was good too. It was good
- 7:49Speaker 1: at it. They were very confused. Yes, I'm sure, I'm sure.
- 7:58Speaker 1: I was dragging my tired yet single and fabulous as
- 8:03Speaker 1: how I'm at dawn. I decided my best bet to
- 8:07Speaker 1: avoid looking like I'd been up all night was to
- 8:10Speaker 1: stay up all morning. O carry stayed up all night.
- 8:12Speaker 1: I try to do this. I can't do it as
- 8:14Speaker 1: much anymore. It's stamp ate. I'm at the photo shooting.
- 8:20Speaker 1: Everyone's freaking out. I'm there twenty minutes. Twenty minutes, I said,
- 8:24Speaker 1: twenty minutes. There's some nights you just shouldn't go out
- 8:28Speaker 1: and party all night before photo shoot is one, but
- 8:31Speaker 1: those that's the nightmare, right, Yeah, I'm not. I'm not
- 8:33Speaker 1: gonna sleep and stay up all night and then you
- 8:35Speaker 1: fall asleep and you miss it. I happened to be
- 8:37Speaker 1: in Canada. I almost missed my flight right when the
- 8:40Speaker 1: pandemic was arting, and I was like, oh, I'll never
- 8:42Speaker 1: fall asleep. And then I get a call from the
- 8:44Speaker 1: hotel people like did she falls? Like no, like throwing things. Oh,
- 8:56Speaker 1: we're gonna there's gonna be time time for makeup. Right.
- 9:00Speaker 1: One time I was in a movie. The makeup person
- 9:05Speaker 1: asked me. She was like, you you should use these
- 9:07Speaker 1: eye drops. I can tell you don't sleep enough. And
- 9:09Speaker 1: I was like, you're right, but they had brutally honest.
- 9:22Speaker 1: Being single and fabulous also frees up one's weekends. Saturday's
- 9:26Speaker 1: usually spent browsing with him in solo are left to
- 9:29Speaker 1: more practical things like power This is a good episode.
- 9:32Speaker 1: We've talked about this episode. Actually you and I you'll
- 9:34Speaker 1: see wife. But I love this random walking that they do.
- 9:39Speaker 1: Moves my mom, my mom's friend. She does power walking
- 9:44Speaker 1: every time I see her, and it just brings a
- 9:46Speaker 1: smile to my face. She has got places to go,
- 9:49Speaker 1: got it, I don't do it. I wonder if the
- 9:52Speaker 1: you know what power walking? Please let us know that dude,
- 9:58Speaker 1: who's that? And off the malic? Just I want to
- 10:00Speaker 1: fake orgasms with. So Miranda just had to run into
- 10:05Speaker 1: she hooked up with, but faked orgasm. She faked or
- 10:08Speaker 1: guest him. Yeah, I've done that. I'm just wanting to
- 10:11Speaker 1: get it over with. Yeah. I stopped for fresh supplies
- 10:19Speaker 1: when oh, no, single and fabulous question mark hanging right
- 10:30Speaker 1: next to Martha Stewart living Carrie Bradshaw dying of embarrassment
- 10:37Speaker 1: and it's not a good picture and she's about to
- 10:42Speaker 1: a cigarette. Tom was an out of work actor friend
- 10:49Speaker 1: Charlotte had come to depend on to do the occasional
- 10:52Speaker 1: male things she needed done around her apartment because he wasn't.
- 10:56Speaker 1: I've had this thought that I could use somebody taller
- 10:58Speaker 1: in my life. No reason to get a relationship. You
- 11:05Speaker 1: can name it whatever you want to name it. One
- 11:08Speaker 1: time I had to like move a big mattress up
- 11:10Speaker 1: the stairs alow and I was like, this is why
- 11:12Speaker 1: people date other people, Yes, but also this is what
- 11:15Speaker 1: you have friends exactly. You can go sailing old lobsters.
- 11:29Speaker 1: The old lobsters is that dirty talk, Beach. I think
- 11:32Speaker 1: they might be. Definitely. I want to grab you, want
- 11:39Speaker 1: to get some of that shrumps butter. Everyone's turned off
- 11:45Speaker 1: the podcast. Now this is awkward. Now did that do
- 11:58Speaker 1: something wrong tonight? Because I mean, you came every other
- 12:02Speaker 1: time she's trying to now have the conversation about sex. Yeah,
- 12:08Speaker 1: hey tell me, well I didn't exactly come all those
- 12:11Speaker 1: other times. Is it worse to have the tough later
- 12:14Speaker 1: or be honest up from I think if it's honestly,
- 12:17Speaker 1: like the first time is awkward, so I get it. Oh,
- 12:23Speaker 1: do you have like a physical problem or if it
- 12:26Speaker 1: becomes her yeah, no offense, I love it. I love
- 12:31Speaker 1: this like man, yeah, oh, no one's ever fixed with me.
- 12:35Speaker 1: This is also a sidebuild episode. He calls every woman
- 12:38Speaker 1: in his life. It's like, did you fake it? They're
- 12:40Speaker 1: all like, yes, I'm not leaving. Stay magically in a
- 12:52Speaker 1: relationship with her. Fixed guy, m M any guy that
- 13:00Speaker 1: this happened to me where I was like, I've got
- 13:02Speaker 1: to move this couch and it's like, I'll come help
- 13:04Speaker 1: you in the next thing. I know we're dating. Oh,
- 13:10Speaker 1: that's funny. I think that's definitely something that I've done
- 13:14Speaker 1: to spend more time with people, like if we're already
- 13:16Speaker 1: interested in each other that I'm like, oh yeah, you
- 13:18Speaker 1: wanna help me with this? Can you? Can you put
- 13:21Speaker 1: this together for me? I don't have that voice yell,
- 13:25Speaker 1: but you know, make an excuse is good to hang out.
- 13:34Speaker 1: And there it was her magazine pity from the man
- 13:37Speaker 1: who sells me my Marlborough lights, and I decided I
- 13:42Speaker 1: was staring at her with pity. This happened to me
- 13:44Speaker 1: with a lift driver once. Oh no, I didn't have
- 13:48Speaker 1: the magazine cover, but he was like, you weren't married,
- 13:50Speaker 1: it's too late for you. She had nothing to do
- 14:00Speaker 1: but sit and wait for him. Oh, now knew that
- 14:04Speaker 1: we William wasn't ever going to show up. He was
- 14:07Speaker 1: one of those men. I've never officially been stood up.
- 14:09Speaker 1: Have you never showed up somewhere that I'm waiting on someone?
- 14:13Speaker 1: I've never been stood up. I was broken up with
- 14:16Speaker 1: very publicly once at the dining hall in Georgia Tech.
- 14:21Speaker 1: Oh you let me have it dramatic. It was quite
- 14:27Speaker 1: drag unnecessarily dramatic, but partly because I stood him up
- 14:33Speaker 1: because we were supposed to watch the finale of Loss together.
- 14:38Speaker 1: I forgot. So you've got two points for the single
- 15:01Speaker 1: people that and a point in the half for the
- 15:04Speaker 1: for the club club. There were two clubs. I knew
- 15:12Speaker 1: this one, um, but yeah, So this was about whether
- 15:16Speaker 1: or not singleness was allowed or people miserable should be
- 15:19Speaker 1: fake it to be relationship. I think that's a huge
- 15:23Speaker 1: one because that's one of the conversations I have had
- 15:25Speaker 1: many times because I did not get into relationships until
- 15:29Speaker 1: much later, so almost in my thirties that I really
- 15:31Speaker 1: have relationships, and I'm like, how do you get to
- 15:34Speaker 1: this point? And I don't know if I want to
- 15:37Speaker 1: do this because so many people were miserable but they
- 15:40Speaker 1: didn't want to be alone. Yeah. Yeah, and that's why
- 15:43Speaker 1: I think it depends on the person is. For me,
- 15:46Speaker 1: I would rather be alone, even though I have been
- 15:48Speaker 1: a relationship that I was just in and I was
- 15:51Speaker 1: taking it because I thought I should be in a relationship,
- 15:54Speaker 1: But personally, I would rather be alone. However, I have
- 15:56Speaker 1: other friends where I think they would prefer to take
- 15:58Speaker 1: it right then be at So I know a few
- 16:01Speaker 1: people have asked when they are going through really hard
- 16:03Speaker 1: times and it just doesn't make sense why you would
- 16:05Speaker 1: do it. I was like, you know, why do you?
- 16:07Speaker 1: And the conversation is we've worked too long and I
- 16:10Speaker 1: don't want to waste this what we've already worked on. Yeah,
- 16:14Speaker 1: I think that's a different mindset because I've heard that too,
- 16:18Speaker 1: and it reminds me of the argument about like renting
- 16:21Speaker 1: versus buying. If you put this much time into a person,
- 16:24Speaker 1: well we can't just bag out now, right. And I
- 16:27Speaker 1: know for religious older couples in my life, they've told me,
- 16:31Speaker 1: like you know, divorce are breaking up is just not
- 16:33Speaker 1: on the table. It's just not there. So they're gonna
- 16:37Speaker 1: be together. And like I said, I think it's just
- 16:40Speaker 1: different mindsets for different people. Um. And if you're on
- 16:44Speaker 1: the same page and you're coming from a healthy standpoint,
- 16:47Speaker 1: that's okay, right, But if you're just you can't be alone,
- 16:52Speaker 1: you might want to excite about why. I thought that
- 16:56Speaker 1: was interesting, But I did like this is one of
- 16:58Speaker 1: those that they were in their thirties and none of
- 17:00Speaker 1: them are really married and some of the stage unmarried.
- 17:04Speaker 1: Like I liked that aspect, like right now I'm older
- 17:08Speaker 1: than them, I saying, just Samanth, thus I should be
- 17:12Speaker 1: going to see a doctor, apparently getting a clown uh,
- 17:15Speaker 1: John on my stomach, But like just having knowing seeing
- 17:20Speaker 1: them really made it a different Like you can have
- 17:22Speaker 1: a life outside of just marriage. As what we see
- 17:24Speaker 1: in sitcoms, that's not the case. So that's one of
- 17:27Speaker 1: the things. Of course they talk about, you know, finding relationships.
- 17:31Speaker 1: So that was a little difficult, but it's it's interesting
- 17:33Speaker 1: to see because at this end she's happy being alone.
- 17:36Speaker 1: She's okay, did she almost slide into I have to
- 17:39Speaker 1: find someone to validate myself? Yes, but she walked away
- 17:42Speaker 1: from that, poor proudly. Cooper sir. Yeah, I think again,
- 17:51Speaker 1: like this came out in early two thousand's and still
- 17:57Speaker 1: is this kind of rare to see. It's becoming more common,
- 18:00Speaker 1: but especially then, like seeing women who weren't in a
- 18:05Speaker 1: relationship at that age and we're still going out and
- 18:07Speaker 1: doing things, and you know, sure they are trying to
- 18:11Speaker 1: fire relationships, but ultimately, I still feel like their friendships
- 18:15Speaker 1: is the that's the thing that stays. Like these men
- 18:19Speaker 1: come and go, but their friendships stays. And so yeah,
- 18:23Speaker 1: I think it's pretty it's good to see. Yeah, so
- 18:26Speaker 1: what do you think about this episode? I enjoyed it.
- 18:29Speaker 1: I have to admit I was nervous about the whoever
- 18:32Speaker 1: was going to show off. It was a lot of
- 18:36Speaker 1: anticipation and it was good. Um. I enjoyed it. And
- 18:41Speaker 1: as someone who is you know, single and has had
- 18:44Speaker 1: a lot of these thoughts, I've talked about all these
- 18:46Speaker 1: thoughts on the show, it did resonate with me. And
- 18:50Speaker 1: I've also had the very bad picture taken where I'm like,
- 18:53Speaker 1: oh no, I'm a mess. So I related to that
- 19:00Speaker 1: as well. That's constant. Now. I don't try to get
- 19:04Speaker 1: pictures taken. Nope, me to heaven forbid, the camera accidentally
- 19:08Speaker 1: be facing you when you turn it on. Actually, I
