• 0:43
  Speaker 1: three and we are slowly trekking through. Annie, can you
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: give us a rundown of the last episode? Okay, the
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: last episode was all about breakups and bad relationships and
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: how to deal with that as an outsider, as a friend,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: what do you tell somebody? Um? And then kind of
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: rebound situation with Carrie and Big I feel it was
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: coming because he showed up at her birthday party. Um.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Dirty talk, lots of dirty talk. Some therapy that involves
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Samantha admitting she needs you know, Big Dick, I thought
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: you were representing me for a minute. I was like,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: excuse me, Well, I don't know about that. As Charlotte
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: having a dog to try to replace the relationship need
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: in her heart and then realizing that wasn't gonna work
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: and giving the dog away to another couple that I
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: guess they bonded over the dog and got back together
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the dog the side couple who we do see again
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: and in just like that. Yeah, I totally forgot about that,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: but yeah we do. Um so yeah, I feel like
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: we've got a lot of threads um coming together. Yes,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: all right, So this episode is called the Freak Show.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, So what do you think that's about?
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. I feel like the titles have gotten harder. Um, okay,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the freak Show. I have no idea I guess the
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: only thing I can think of is like they go
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: to some club. I don't know, Okay, okay, interesting. Interesting.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I feel like anything I can say would be offensive,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: you know, like we should go ahead and put a
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: big disclaimer here. This is the problematic title. We know
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: that the term freak his problematic, especially today in age,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: and how a blest it can be, and how it
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: was used during this time in age that we're talking
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: about before, because there was a lot of offensive talk
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: that was being used. So we do want to put
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: that here. Please excuse us as we're talking about it
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: in reference to the show, and then know that this
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: is not the language we would choose in talking about this,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: So I will say that, Um, we haven't put any
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: disclaimers previously, but this is about sex. So I feel
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: like we've said that in the first season, we've kind
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: of came away from it, but just as a reminder,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: we're probably gonna be talking about sex. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I mean I feel like sex in the City's hopefully yeah,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: but yeah, yeah, for sure. I mean definitely one of
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: those shows. If I had been younger, my mother would
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: have been like, oh no, right, so yes, um, and
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: just definity I we are still coming to you from
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: our sports broadcaster situation desk with the TV. We've got
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: our Bloody Mary's, so we're going to We're going strong.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: So if you're wondering, we do marathon some of these
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: episodes together because we don't get to get together as
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: often as we would like, and these are just more
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: fun when it's in person. Don't get me wrong. We
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: do sometimes do it over a specific program when we're
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: sitting doing it digitally remote, I guess, but when we
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: get to get together, we're like the as less crimit
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: in because it's more fun this way, so it doesn't
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: love sitting tenant is a non tendant just four inches
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: away from each other as we drink and talk about
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: sex in the city. I mean and I we need
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: to take a picture of the setup for it looks
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: very professional. We are so professional and just f y.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I We're going to talk about this more at the
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: end the A two F y s. I've said, Um,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: we are looking at a guess. Yes, I'm gonna tell
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: you when though. Yes we are, Yes we are, but
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: we'll have more information on that at the end. But yeah,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: if you're interested, we are looking. We are looking for
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: you for you, yes you are you ready? I think so? Yeah,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: we'll see. Oh gosh. Samantha didn't believe in the first date,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: but she did believe in sex after. I feel like
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: for me the first date, you know, sometimes it's hard
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: to come down when it happens. I hate the you
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: don't know what's happened. They are awkward though. After dinner,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Harrison invited Samantha up to see his view. I think
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: you should know my specialty of sexual harassments, he said.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: My specialty is sexual harassment. That's a that's a lawyer,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: but still classic case of entrapment, trapment, classic case of trapment,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: mine altering wine. I could claim temporary insanity. I do
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: have a prior record of driving me in a little
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: crazy the profile. Most sexual harassment cases are brought by
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: older but older women, and they're not like he immediately
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: was like, oh, no, no offense, But come on, what
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: are you first offense in as we could remember, which,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: by the way, I'm just kinda who shouldn't have to
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: talk about how dare you? Unless it's a significant age
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: gap than yes, then that's problematic. Now she's looking at
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: her skin like she has wrinkled. Terrible. You've got to
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: give the guy credit. It takes a lot of work
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: to get all rigged up like that. Yeah, most of
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: my first dates don't even open the cab door. Okay,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: what if he's still hanging there. I'm a super wodvine
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: And eventually you see, this is why I don't date
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the men out there are there? I'm sorry. If a
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: man is over thirty and single, there's something wrong with him.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: It's starwinn in. They're being weeded out from propagating the species. Okay,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: what about us, We're just choosing. I agree, I'm getting
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: more shripped, get more shripped. There was a saying, and
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I went to Uma was a Georgia Tech which was
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: there's a saying like all the good parking spaces are
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: already taken about it. It's the same thing, though, like
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: all the good ones are gone. If there are not taken,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: then there's an issue which is problematic as a single woman.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Mitch Sailor, Yeah, do you know what, Oh honey, I
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: know of Charlotte has just met the greatest guy. But
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: he's got a reputation. Now they're taking it to the
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: bathroom to converse. He's Mr Mr Who, He's Mr Pussy
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Charlotte's monogram towels. We're looking very different. He's renowned. He
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: loves going down on womensation down on women. You know what, though, congratulations, bro,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: that's an amazing, amazing reputation to have. Would you please
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: just stop calling it that? Oh fun? Going down giving
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: him eating now? Never understood that shouldn't be eating. Stop eating.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: And I do love the times for oral sex, of course,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I just I don't have to talk about it. The
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: reality was the only thing that went down with any
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: regularity on Charlotte states was a gold American Express card.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Forget it. I'm not dating anyone who's known as Mr Pussy.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Why not? Maybe I won't, sweetly like, why wouldn't wouldn't
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: you try him out? Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: he's so far down the wife and like he's not
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: even anywhere. I mean good, I guess. I mean, don't
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: get me wrong, I like good roll sex. I feel
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: like this was eventually like start shafing a little, a
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: little too much, little too much. Agreed, Maybe I'm wrong,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: like you're doing it wrong. No, no, well Mitch has
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: won the seal of approval. Yeah she good. Charlotte's happy.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: That's all you can ask for. I know we've talked
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: about this before, and there's kind of two ways to
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: see it. But I do think some guys see being
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: able to do that is like another notch on their belt,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: like I'm so good. It's more about them and less
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: about the partner. Definitely, it definitely can be. But I
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: feel like for him, he seems like genuinely happy to
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: do it. That's why I don't date anymore. Women are bizarre.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Oh the stranger says, women are bizarre. I don't date anymore.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, I've definitely come to the point that I
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: don't want to date anymore. If this I am very happy.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: But if it didn't work out, and like that, I'm good.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I'm done. Yeah, my friends come over and live here.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I think I've already told you're gonna live here, haven't I? Oh, well,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: let me get some moving mark booth. No. I do
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: think like sometimes that I don't date it more, especially
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: from men in my experience, is very manipulative. It's like,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: oh but you, I'm you. I would date Meanwhile, I
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: had my own as to be obsessed with, and it
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: belonged to Ben, an editor at a hip political magazine.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I want to say, you call it the onion. Is
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: that what it does? Yeah? I try to get upstairs.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: But since this is a non date. See I've I've
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: met this guy before, the nice dude, the non date. Oh,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I won't ask unless you're asking, putting, trying to make
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: you feel like it's in your core. But really it's
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: manipulating you. Let's wrong with Connecticut. I hate the country.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I haven't left Manhattan and tenures. I think you're proud
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: of that. Anybody that does this just f y. I
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: it's not right. I've had people say that about Atlanta.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: So this dude is saying he isn't like going into
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the country. He doesn't want to leave anything else oude
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: of Manhattan. I've had people say that about Atlanta. Why
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: would I go outside of Atlanta? To be fair, racism
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: is beyond Atlanta. That's fair. I just think if you're
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: going to say you hate something, you're immediately setting yourself
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: up to make an enemy. Like it's easier to say
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: I like something and maybe they don't like it as
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: long as it's not something totally problematic. But if you're like, oh,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I hate this, it's dorrible. Yeah, it's a souvenir from
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: a drunken bachelor party a few years ago. Oh my gosh.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: He has a tweety bird tattoo, m tattoo for like
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: a dare or get together. One time I tried to
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: get a tattoo when I was drunk, and I was
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: informed and thank goodness for this, you cannot get a
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: tattoo when drunk um you cat. I'm just very happy
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: that they were like nope, and they told me, if
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: you still want it when you're sober, come back right.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I didn't want it when I was sober. So thank you, Su.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: You were very wrong because there's no club. There was
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: no way I could have guessed that, and also no
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: way I could have done it in a way that
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: wasn't offensively. I maintain, Yeah, you're right, You're right, it
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: was very very offense of it definitely is. Um. Again,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: we've talked about how language has changed and it can't
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: be in them anymore, and I've talked about several episodes
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: being this way, and we talked about the fact that
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: we would also confront the fact that it is problematic
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: and this this tripe was very problematic. Um. Yes, it's
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: very divisive in that it puts men in one category,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: men versus women. We know that there's no nuance to that.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: That's not an overall thing. Yeah, and I think like
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the language has changed. I think the idea of you know,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: that idea has been around forever of like men or
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: from Mars wom or from Venus. But ultimately we all
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: do have this stuff, this kind of baggage that we
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: carry around UM relationships that have left us scarred or
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: traumatized and looking for those flaws and other people, uh,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: like in my past relationship it was. It always kind
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: of confused me. He was always looking for like a reason, Oh,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: you have to be jealous, because that was what his
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: last relationship was and that's where he kind of learned
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: those relationship tools. But I was like, whatever, I don't know,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: go go be out with your eggs girlfriend. I don't care.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: I didn't. Yeah, but I think that's um. You know,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: it makes sense that you carry that stuff and you
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: see it and then you get in your head about it.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: It's hard to trust people in relationships, and especially when
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: you have other people in your ear like this is
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: gonna be bad, you need to watch out. I also
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: did appreciate the side plot with Sam going through her
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: exidential crisis of trying to be the perfect person and
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: realizing this is not a thing, and then like, it's
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: not bad if you are in, if you want surgery,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: if you want to do this for yourself, that's on you.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: You do what makes you happy. But obviously it didn't
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: make her happy. And it's kind of that conversation of
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: the how far is too far for an individual? Yeah,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: And I think we've talked about that a lot. I
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: think it's hard to untangle the societal messaging we are
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: bombarded with as women, the toxic messaging we are bombarded
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: with from young age daily, from what you actually want
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: and so like if you if again, yeah, if you
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: want it, if you want and it's an adult consentral decision. Great,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: but it's hard to separate out that from just what
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: you've been told you should look like, Yeah, and she,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: I mean she's amazing. She looks amazing, right, Like. It
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: definitely was like, oh, what do I need a get done?
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: My bacon? Bacon? But yeah, I think it was an
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: interesting thing. Of course, Charlotte with a sex haze, like
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: sex is so good? Can you do a relationship? I've
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: had several people do this really where they relationship is
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: based on Yeah, Like I started off as X and
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: that kind of grew up to be more okay. I mean,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like I have such a
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: different experience for people. For me, it takes a lot
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: of trust to have sex with somebody rum. But I
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: know some people who are very happy to yeah, just
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: kind of have that hook up situation. Good sex and
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: that's all they want And if you're again, if you're
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: on the same page, wait, yeah, fantastic. But I know Charlotte.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: I feel like that's the one thing I know about
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: her character. She wants to get married. She wants that
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: the situation ship is we're talking about. I mean, we're
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: on't we like one in in a fourth way through
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: and of like, that'sn't even correct. We're one season and
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: a fourth of another season three, and I feel like
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: she's already had several plotlines where she's like been like,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: masturbation is so good, I'm canceling plans. Oh this guy,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Like I don't know. She's surprising herself. She thinks that
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: she can and then she realized as it is, and
• 17:03
