• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha. Welcome to Steph. I
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: never told you production of I Heart Radio. Okay, y'all,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: we are going to try something a little bit different,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: and I think we've been talking about doing this for
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: a very long time, but we're starting a new a
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: sub sub series. This is what it is, or is
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: like a sub sub sub sub sub sub series. I
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: like adding in as many subs as possible, but I
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: think it's just a double sub Okay, that's what I
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: was thinking. Again. Like we said, we've been talking about
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: doing this for a while and it's a dream come true.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: And honestly, I think I've been doing this and as
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: a way to make Annie watch this entire series that
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: she's been able to go without her entire life, which
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: is fine. I'm okay with it. I'm I'm seriously fine.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Sounds like I'm fine. Everything's fine. But we're doing the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: viewing of hopefully all this is an adventure of Sex
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: in the City. Yes, we're going to do a whole
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: mini series based on me, making any and possibly guests
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: watch and get their reactions about sex and the City.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I'm so excited, y'all. I'm so excited. I am too.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, you keep framing it as if you're forcing me.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I am excited. I think this will be fun. Also,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: you know what could be fun if if we got
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: listeners involved, Like maybe we get some really active fans
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: you want to join us for these parties, your reactions
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: on here, that would be great. This might really have
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: to happen, y'all. And so today we're going to start
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: with episode one. And yeah, like we said, this is
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: kind of uh as being a new thing, being a
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: concept thing, We're probably gonna switch around on how we're
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: going to record it and what we're gonna do to
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: record it, and and what you're gonna hear and what
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: you might not hear. And yet maybe doing a little
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: watch party with everyone because we loved that. There may
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: be even some additional things where I don't know, having
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: guests that might know a lot more about the show
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: than we do. I don't know. We're hoping for that,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: like we'll we'll send that vibe out And honestly, and
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I'm a little sad as actor Willie Garson just passed away,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: and of course he was a huge part of the show,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: playing Stanford bleatch Um. And I think it was actually
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: confirmed that he passed away from pancreatic cancer, cancer and
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: all of that. But you know, my heart hurts a
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: little bit for sure, because he's just a great staple
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: and great actor and from what I can tell from
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: everybody's testaments of him, he was just a good guy. Uh.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: So very sad about that, but we also want to
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: celebrate how amazing he did in the series, including the
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: fact that yes, he's there at the forefront of the
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: episode one. He has been there, He will be there
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: throughout our conversations about Sex in the City, and I
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: believe he will be in a couple of the new
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: series that's coming out. I'm not sure. I think there's
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: a discussion among how they were going to address his death,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: but you know, he's still gonna be there, and uh,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I'm glad to see it because he was a staple
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: of the show. But yeah, so we're gonna start out
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: every beginning of the show because since you have not
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: really seen any of them, we are going to test
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: your knowledge because a lot of people talk about Sex
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: in the City and they have pretty they have great titles.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give you the title of the episode
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: at the beginning. You're gonna take a guess on what
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: this specific episode is about, and then we'll come back
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: and see how right or wrong you were. Oh, I'm
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: so competitive. Okay, this is gonna be good. Um and justice.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: As a reminder, we do have an episode on Sex
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: in the City already, So if you want to hear
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: a lot more details about the show specifically and the
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: behind the scenes and just kind of the impact it
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: had in our society, you should go take a listen.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: But for now, we're just gonna keep it lighthearted. Just
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: go down this memory lane. It was created by Darren Starr.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: You have Sarah, Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, and
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Sitthia Nixon as the forefronts, and we have all the
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: men that come in and out of their lives. Uh.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: They have won many Emmys obviously, and I have gotten
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: tons of accolades for their show. We know all about fashion.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: The little bit I know about fashion is probably from them.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: The little on new about sex came from them first.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: And then also just my love of brunch only enhanced that,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: thank you. Um. And it did begin in so yes,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: all of the nineties glory, and I'm so excited to
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: visit this. Also, there's you know, just f y I
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: if we continue this out to the end, which I
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: intended to do, there were nine four episodes, yes, so,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: and that's not counting the movies and then the new
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: HBO show, So this is gonna be great. Well, be
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: visiting all of the movies as well. Confession though I've
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: only seen one of the movie, the second one. I
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: don't think I made it all the way through, so
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: that will be interesting. So, and this is kind of
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: a cheat, but the first episode Annie is titled Sex
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: in the City blosphom is okay, okay, blossoming young journalist
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Carrie Bradshaw goes out into the city and discusses sex
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: with her friends and mishaps. This is very vague. Let
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: me get something specific. Samantha makes a crude comment while
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: they're at a club, and they discussed some kind of
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: like how guys are are weird in some way. There
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: you go. So for this episode, which would being introduced,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: do you know there is a staple guy in here
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: who makes that appearance in the first episode. Well, I
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: knew Big is the big guy, So is that that's
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: your guest? Yeah, there's there's three Big loves. I think
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: like she has many boyfriends, and I'm so excited to
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: touch on all of them because they're so fantastic. Each
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: one of them have several boyfriends, but she's the one
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: that has at least three. I want to say that
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Charlotte has at least two, Miranda has one big one
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: that we know of, and Samantha actually has kind of
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: two in my opinion. So this is gonna be fun interest.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: All right, let's begin this. Let's do it. But it's on.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: You're an ineligible man in your thirties. Do you feel
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: like you're being devoured by would the guys are holding
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: all the chips? I call it amid thirties powerful. Oh,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I don't like that guy, the aito of the Dogs Bachelor.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, sex was incredible, but then he wanted to
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: read me his poetry, and and I'm like, I don't
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: know if I've ever had anybody trying to read me poetry.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I have, and I shut it down so hard that
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I still feel guilty about it. Maybe you're ever going
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: to be a bare hard or cannot do this at
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: least to this day. I don't know what he thought
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: about my elegant calves. I no longer felt a thing
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: for Kurt. After all these years, I finally saw him
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: for what he was, a self centered with holding creep
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: who was still the best sex I've ever had in
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: my life. So I was wrong. I have a little
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: experimental mind. I will tell you later. However, I do
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: find so she only ends up doing the breaking the
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: fourth wall the first two I think, like one or
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: two episodes, and then finally stops and it becomes more
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: like realistic. I don't know if they did this, because
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: like I know, there was some other series like Knock
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Him in the Middle and the and all of that
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: that did all that. But she only did it for
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: a couple of more episodes, like I said, and it
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: was like, finally, thank you stop. I was gonna ask
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: because I was like, oh, this is interesting breaking the
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: fourth wall. Yeah, I don't understand that. You're such a
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: nice guy. That's the problem. You know, you get laid.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Are you sure you're not gay? No, so he must
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: be gay because he doesn't objectify women. That makes easy
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: either too nice or gay? Right exactly? Don't you have
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: any friends that you can hook me up with? Too
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: old for you? I like older women think this is
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: a terrible thing. I think we've talked about this before.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Not pressures people within your friend group to date. Oh yeah,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Like I said, my friends know. If you want to
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: take friends with me, don't set me up with anybody
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: that you like. M M. If you try to set
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: me up with someone you don't like, we're gonna have
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: issues on our own. Listen, have a good time, and
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: promise to tell me everything. Well if you're lucky. Bye,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: all right bye? I mean, would you want I guess me.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I guess it's the same thing with you and I
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: being podcasters and mean, as open as we are, would
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: you want to be friends with a sex columnist that
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: writes about you? I'm just saying I think it would
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: be tough. I mean, I'm not outright opposed, but I
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: think it'd be hard if she like and in this
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I'm imagine if she analyzed me and didn't tell me,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: and I in the calm and it was like she's
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: clear and disturbed, and then we go out for a
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: brunch and we're going to talk about what you wrote
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: about me. Yeah, we need to have sit down. Right.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: That men secretly hate pretty girls because they feel that
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: they were the ones who rejected them in high school.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know that. For the first episode, they really
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: wanted to drive home what each character's persona was supposed
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: to be, so they did. They went overboard re creating
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: those so like you have the angry feminist trope right
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: here with Miranda arguing with everything Skipper does. Excuse me?
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Is this your hand on my name? Hand on my knee.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Samantha had the kind of deleted self confidence that caused
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: men like Ross Perot to run for president, and it
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: usually got her what she wanted. I love that. That's
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: the line they have for her, the deluded self confidence
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: that made Ross Parow run for president. I wonder, okay, listeners,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: I need to know. Do y'all know who Ross Perow is.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: I'm interested, Yes, let us know that be an interesting poll.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Miranda told me later that she thought he was too nice,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: but that she was willing to overlook one flaw. Why
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: is too nice? Because it's the nineties and that's what
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: they wanted to drill in. Be be forceful, be exactly,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: be a man. You know this, No, I don't like it.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: It was in the height of toxic masculinity in every
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: way the nineties, Like we have to combat feminism, be
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: a man. So this is the iconic line from this show,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: have you ever been in love? Have you ever been
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: in love? Absolutely absolutely resolutely drives off. You're like, why
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: why he just drives off? Why did the driver do that?
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: I would be so mad at the driver. The drivers like,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: I know, a dramatic moment when I see one. We
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: got this just right, So you do get points because yes,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: they ended up going to a club. Samantha ended up
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: saying something inappropriate. It doesn't really happened. Yes, Chris sna
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Mr Big who we don't know. We never know his
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: name until the final episode, by the way. Yeah, so
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: that's gonna be a running I should have a guest
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: every episode. Yeah, who's going to enter? Who's kind? What's it?
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: We don't know? Oh, you're trying to figure out his
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: name because you don't know. Yeah, I guess, so you
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: never really I don't. I didn't know again until the
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: very final episode. It doesn't really don't really say it either. Yeah, anyway,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: so yes, those things did happen, So good job she
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: does talk to her friends about sex. Good job, that
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: was very That's pretty easy to guess, to admit, But
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: as the pilot and the first episode for them. What
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: do you think about the show so far? I really
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: enjoyed it. I think there was a part of you
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: that kept trying to imagine, like if I had been
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: watching it when it was on TV, and I would
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: have been much younger, but just even in college, like
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I hadn't seen anything like that for me. I remember
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the first time I watched True Blood, which is very,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: very different, but but it was an HBO show and
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: it had a lot of like sex and nudity, right,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: I was like, and so I was trying to imagine,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: like what it would have meant to me to seeing this.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: I did really like the friendship aspect. Like I said,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: I do agree with you that it was very like
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Samantha's the you know, free sexual like very those But
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: it's also interesting, just yea to revisit it now and
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: be like, oh, yeah, that was pretty you know, toxic,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: which we still have a lot of those opinions and
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: ideas around dating and women and men, and we're still
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: discussing them on this very show. So it's just interesting.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: And of course I did love the fashion. I did.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: How could you not? And I know you love looking
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: at the technologies, technology. It's a lot to get better
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: as it continues because we will get to see all
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: of the phones and play all the cell phones and
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: play Blackberries, palm pilots, fantastic. It's all in there because
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: up not that any of them are technical, like none
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: of them are very technical in any way, but for
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: some reason, of course it pops up as it comes through.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: But I'm very glad that we're going to go on
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: this journey together because obviously my excitement for the entirety
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: of the thing. And it's been a minute, I'm make
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: sure not to rewatch it. I think it's been a
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: few years, because I will get the notion to do
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: so every few years and like I want to watch
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: it again. Um, and I will of course go and
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: pick and choose which episodes I like and don't like,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: because some of those things get a little too real
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: when it comes to breakups and hurt feelings and hurt hearts,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: so it doesn't have a moment. Yeah you're like, oh
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: so I would because I want to be like I
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: can't take this right now, or if I'm going through
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: a bad breakup and I just want to be like
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: I just want something that makes me feel good about girlfriends.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: I just want to my girlfriends that I might by
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: pass some of the things. But being able to watch
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: it with you is going to be quite a delight,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: especially again as we're revisiting things from over twenty years ago,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: which blows my mind to this point. Like we talked
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: about Ross Perot, and I'm like, I wonder if any
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: of like I don't we have a lot of thirty
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: something listeners, if they know who we're talking about and
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: young even younger and why he was relevant at that
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: point in time. But yeah, and also just the changing
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: of the attitudes and what we see and yeah, some
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: of the bad things that were of the nineties and
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: early two thousand's to today, and hopefully we'll be able
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: to all kind of join together and watch just like
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: that and just like that and see how they've changed
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: and hopefully improved in their commentary and what and then
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: just still at the same time, I have that spirit
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: of girl love. Yeah, Yeah, I'm excited about this, and
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: we're we have a like we said, we have a
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: couple of things planned, maybe some guests, maybe so much parties,
• 16:45
