  Speaker 1: Manny got convinced to watch Sex in the City for
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the first time.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so this My name is Mannyoso co host for
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Bubble Bass Stories and I'm a Nikki trends. So Bubba
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: bas Story started out as a fifteen minute podcast, very
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: straight to the point, no fluff, and it was supposed
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: to create these conversation topics that you would want to
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: talk to you coworkers or anybody else. So really it's
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: about taking the awkward silence out of conversation. And if
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: you notice from season one on the fifteen minute roll
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: got on a little lucycusey. Yeah. It actually started out
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: as like we would do three topics and we would
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: just bring up our opinion and then just move on
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: to the next one, and then it just became one
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: topic and then thirty minute episodes. Yeah, like sometimes the
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: content was just too good, like we had to keep
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: ripping on it. And then still here's what happened me
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: and well, I'm a TV file. Did the television file?
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Is that what we decided is movie? Okay, So I'm
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: really into television and I love watching TV. I love
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: to seeing you so much, and so it does Manny here,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: but I'm a little different when I watch TV.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: I really like looking up what made that scene or
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: like who these people are and what they've been in
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: you know, I'm just into really production stuff, but just
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: like reading about it.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: I don't work in production. Yeah, I work in production,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: And it's mostly like I'm just watching it like damn,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I wonder what por Pier had to clean that up,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: you know, things like that. But also I'm watching it
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: with an emotional like everything has an emotional stake to me.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my god, this character that all this.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: So we were having a conversation about sex and the City.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I'm really into Twitter. It like pumped up on my
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: line because the new series came out and everybody was
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: talking so weird shit about it, and so it turned
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: out Manny had never seen it, and I thought it
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: was odd because that meant that there was a bunch
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: of pop cultural jokes and references that he did not get.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: They would like really go over my head. And especially
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: moving from Florida to New York, there was always this
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: this facade of New York to me, of like what
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: it's supposed to be, and then when you when you
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: actually move here and live here, there's like a huge
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: like like a cultural break and you're like, oh, this
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: is actually what New York is really like. And you know,
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: watching TV shows and movies. You always think this is
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: what is supposed to be and then you.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Find out what it's really like. And I always and
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: she always said, like, no, you have to watch Sex
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: in the City because it's the only thing that's actually
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: like what New York liked life is really like. Yeah,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: he was watching a lot of single cam sitcoms, the Seinfelds,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: the Friends, How I Make Your Mind, all the things
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: that were taking place in New York. And so I
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: had never met a man one who has watched Sex
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: in the City like at all on his own accord
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: or like girl for me to watch it. I never
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: And so I was like, what an interest singing experiment
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: I would like to see. You're thirty nine, so you're
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: middle aged. Okay, you ever lived in New York, You've
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: never really dated in New York, and you've been in relationships.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: So let's see how this plays out. I want to
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: see if some of the tropes that they put in
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: there about men are true from a man's first bacid
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: also like, as a man, what are some things that
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: the women are doing that you're like, oh shit, that's
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: really fucked up because that happened to me. Kind of situation.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: And so he was game for it. He was like,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: but he was game for the first before the Yeah,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: before we started watching, I did do a video of like, okay,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: you've never seen sex in the city, what are your expectations? Whatever,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: And then we did it after he watched the very
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: first episode, and I think it took a couple of
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: episodes for him to be like what the fuck is
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: she thinking? Or who the fuck does that? But he
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: I also, I'm rewatching it for the first time in years.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that big came in episode one.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Episode fucking one. This guy I did.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Not know that. I was like, I was shocked, as widows,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: this man has been a problem since day one for real. Yes,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Nanny was on board with him. He's like, my boy
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: be Actually, I think the first thing I asked her
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: was like, oh, like what's his real name? Though? And
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: she was like, I can't tell you. I was like, oh,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: can we find out? She's like I can't tell you,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, but like what is Like, what's his name?
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: And like I would just eventually, like three episodes in,
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: I'm like, so we're never going to find out this
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: guy's name?
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Is it Aaron? What's his name Jean. It's John, the
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: most white and I was very.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Upset when I found that out.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: By the way, let me say I agreed to to
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: not look up stuff.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Yes, because she.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: Really wanted me to my genuine reaction, So I agreed
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: not to look up there. So what I thout his
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: name was John? I was like, his name is John?
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Good god, Oh my god, Doppy. He's like, are you joking?
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: And so I started rewatching it a couple of weeks
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: ago to prepare for today. And I was also like,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: this motherfucker a problem from the pilot.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Until the reboot.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: And then I was also like, okay. From episode one
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: they set up that the theme of the show is
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: going to be basically women should be having sex like men.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, Yeah, no, it was it was interesting
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: to one watch the show, but keep that in mind,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: do that leg because when the show first came out,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: I was, what, maybe we were like maybe ninth and
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: maybe I don't Yeah we were, Yeah, so we weren't
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: even old enough to watch it. But knowing like movies
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: and shows were out back then and haven't seen shot
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: of that, I could I could see what the shot was.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: I could definitely.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Understand, especially because when I watched it the first time through,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: it was for syndication, so who knows how long it
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: took me to see the actual sex of the city.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: It was one of HBO's first shows, right because the
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: first episode you see but and you're like, oh, so
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: we're gonna see this.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Every episode he did have a female shot. I was like, yeah,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the first dick shot, I'm like, oh, okay, And then
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: once you started see celebrities coming, I'm like, oh, so
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: we're gonna see Macacconnie's junk. Yeah. If that was a
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: fun game to play, it like, oh do you know
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: that is? They're like the superstar now, but this is
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: like they were Samantha's lover. Yeah. Yeah, I'd look at
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: them and be like, oh he dated her too. Oh.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Timothy Oliphi is just a club hype kid who's making
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: out with Harry every night.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Okay, I mean the.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Blair under I mean, let's give it up for the
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: men Blair underwear, like I'm supposed to believe morandaka bag
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: of Blair underwear. I was like, Okay, there's I see, but.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Good God, Matthew or not macad of Hey, Bradley Cooper,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: yep A young Bradley Cooper.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Davies babies crazy, it's crazy. But also like
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: the ones that had expose their dicks, I'm sure it
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: was all right, I'm gonna do it. I'm sure something
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: that comes back constantly in their front groups, like remember
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: you show your.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Dick on HBO?
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what's your royalty checks for that? Like do you
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: get extra? Like I feel like that's definitely comes back.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I wonder because HBO was one of the first premium
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: cable channels, and now I'm in the business, I'm like,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: what were the royalties like for HBO? Because they would
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: just rerun their entireline up.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I would like to imagine that during that time, people
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: were still moral and like they were still getting paid
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: good because you had to pay to have HBO, So
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: it wasn't like HBO was going out on a limb
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: for these shows. Like my mom would cancel HBO when
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Sopranos was off season like that. She was like, what
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: am I gonna pay? Like yeah, and then when it canceled,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: she was like, well, I just don't need HBO anymore.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: So in that sense, I feel like there was revenue
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: there to pay these fucking people. Yeah, I don't know
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: about now. I don't know what's happening now, but I
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: know back then the money was good. I imagine it was.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they had to then you'd hope. Okay, So this
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: whole idea of like women need to be having sets like.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Men like.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: I cannot wrap my head around if that theme has
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: a place in twenty twenty five, in the year of
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: it's embarrassing to have a boyfriend?
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: How do you how do you mean? How do you
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: mean elaborate?
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Well, did you read that article about that woman who's like,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: it's embarrassing to have a boyfriend?
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: It's culture.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: I did see a headline about that. I saw a headline. Yeah,
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: I saw that headline.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: I didn't read it, but it did come up to
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: my reminders.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw a headline, and then I followed the
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: woman on TikTok and she re regurgitated her article to me.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: But all I can think about is how in twenty
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: twenty five, the amount of effort that Harry put forth
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: to quote unquote believe in love while writing a sex column.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: The column while also like dating throughout the streets.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: Of New York. I'm like, I don't think that's dating anymore.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: It's not. I have no envy at all for the
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: dating world. No, y'all got land mines out there.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Who I was listening and then I thought I was
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: like Sex and the City had to have still been
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: on when we at least first got match dot com.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Did they ever you have rewatched all of it? They
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: never touched online dating? I think think so. No, I
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: don't remember.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: It was just talking about this too, trying to figure
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: out like when it here versus when it was canceled.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Because we were watching Friends and a part of me
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: was like, I wonder in what if you there's the
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: world and these characters were into There was an episode
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: where there was some kind of match service though. Yeah,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: that was popular. Yeah, that was like I think when
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Sex and the City came out, we were in a
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: transitional period of like services versus like online internet stuff. Yeah.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: I think that's it was like leaning because she like
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: gets a computer dash she has to go online and
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: she's like freaking out. She's like what the fuck? I yeah,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: because she's a weirdo about technology, So no, I can't
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: imagine her. No.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: I also the idea that they truly believed, and I
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: think that we were also sold on the idea that
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: they thought that because the theme of the show was
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: a group of women meeting up to talk about all
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: of the ways that they were quote unquote like dating
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: like men and having sex like men, and like changing
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: the rules or whatever that we like we're told. We
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: were like, oh, they definitely have the upper hand. And
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: then you watch Carrie and all that big is the
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: original bread crummer? Have you have you heard of bread
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: car I mean, we're like a guy just gives you
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: like tiny little indicators you a lot.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I will say that Samantha was
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: ahead of her time. I think Samantha's character and like
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: how she played the field and then eventually reluctantly fell
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: in love is more accurate and aligns more what now, Yeah,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: because you even see what she the one of the
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: guys that she first fell in love with, I guess
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: that's the one who first broke her heart. You see
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: her go into this really vulnerable stay with him, even
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: though she's trying to like fight it and be tough
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: about it. And then she did like it's the same habit.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: He's actually doing the same shit that he's doing before,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: except now he has more money, ye know, I mean,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: you're not wrong about that because even their her relationship,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: like she makes money for the actor.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: Like right now, like because she said her relationship and
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: she probably is more.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Aligned with the time. But yeah, yeah, Like when she
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: reluctantly fell in love with Jarred and he's like no,
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: but I like, fuck what you having? She's like, what
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: are you talking about? You're like, I can't be sexy
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: anymore because I'm on and he's like, nah, you it.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: I feel like more stories like that now, Yeah, somebody
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: you know, you get pregnant, you stay with the person
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: to raise the child, and then you fall in love
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: you know. Yeah, not Miranda Mirandom though I had no Miranda.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Like Miranda is also the four I think like she's
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: the flip side of that in the sense of like
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: she she hates on Carrie because like Harry is like
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: a lover girl and like low key Miranda does want
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: to be a lover girl, but like she doesn't know
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: how to play the part of a love a girl.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: She's just like, Herry, you stupid and I'm not speekid,
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: so I'm not doing that. Sue shit. You're like, I'm
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: not gonna show up to a guy's house in a
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: beret and French fries like, yeah, you know her candy
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: straper shit. But she can't. She's not she's not thick
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: skinned enough to play the game the way Samantha does,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: and so she like falls into this weird defense of
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: like trying to maneuver it. And so the thing with
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Steve is she's it's like, I know Steve's a good guy,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: but it's not clippie, so we can't. And then she
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: finds out he has cancer and then she's like, wow,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: I feel really valuly have one ball. I'm gonna I'm
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: gonna have sex with you. And then she becomes pregnant,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: and the first immediate good is like, well maybe I
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: should keep it because he's like, let's do this, and
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: it's just like, but all the problems you fulcking had
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: are still fucking there on top of now he's in
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: remission with cancer, so like, now you've painted yourself in
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: a corner. Now you're an asshole. Like if you get
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: rid of the baby and you doumb them, but like
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: you are then with this man that you don't even
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: really because in the movie they break up because she's
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: like this, I can't do this anymore. It's just like, girl,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: you shouldn't have happy been save sex. Rewatching this show
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: just reminded me how fucking great save sexy. I don't
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: care what anybody says. They make condoms so great you
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: can't even like seal them. And it's just like, why
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: aren't these bitches using conducts?
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: No, I think Samantha is probably the one who's having
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: the sex safest sex and like insists on it.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: And it's because.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: I think that Samantha definitely has the most like self
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: worth out of all of them. And then Miranda is
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: mirroring samantha self worth and goes, well, I have that too,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: and it's like, im Miranda, Yeah. And Miranda's so hard
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: on Carrie compared to Samantha, because I think Samantha is
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: one of those friends who's just like, I don't know,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: letter like I don't know, like letter trail after big,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: like let her pretend that this aiding guy is gonna
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: whisk her a way into the woods and that's gonna
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: be whatever, Like do it for the plot, do it
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: for the bit. Whereas Miranda is me where I'm kind
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: instantly mad at you know, I'm like, why are you
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: going in the woods?
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: With this man. We don't like ticks. We're afraid of tecks.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: What are you doing?
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: I used to have this motto, bad decisions made great stories,
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: and that is how I can explain most of my
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: early twenties dating life. It was just like, yeah, but
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: you know, fuck it will make a good like, fuck it,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: we'll see what happens. I'll make a good story. But
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know as an almost forty year old if
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: I will say that.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: Now you think, Uh, Samantha it more that way because
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: she probably didn't have anybody looking out for her decision.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Ooh, that's a great question, because who does look after
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Samantha when Samantha's found bad? It's not Harry.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: She sucks the way?
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Didn't They say that they met like at a bar? Right?
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: So I did read Harry Diaries. Yeah, I read the book.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: And so what happens was is that Carrie is like
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: eighteen when she meets in New York and Samantha is
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: a cousin of some girls she like went to sweat.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: But Samantha was like a loner growing up. No, she
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: was the party. No, she was a party that like
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: she's always.
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: Been in theatr Like she's but what I'm saying is
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: like she probably didn't have somebody like Miranda walking out
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: for her while she was in.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: New York doing her thing. Yeah, yeah, we don't attitude
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: of being like, let her do a thing, let her
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: do like that probably comes from being like nobody wasn't
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: look great, don't worry about her. Well, that also comes
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: from it. Also, that also comes from not knowing that
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: people are judging you and you don't want people to
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: do it. So like she's kind of giving her the
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: grades that she wants people to get hurt, like she
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: don't know she's and I.
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: Think was really an only child or is she like
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: the oldest kid how to take care of everybody?
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, they don't really talk like family, like because there's
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: gotta be a reason. Or it's like you know what
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: you think about psychology? Well men, men's men. Yeah, soiler
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Harry Harry longs to go to New York. She comes
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: from a single, single, single family home where it's just
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: her dad. And like the way they explain her that
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: she doesn't want her relationship her dad feeds into that
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: whole trope with mister big and and then they don't
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: really go through the other but like Samantha was always
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: a party girl. She was a cousin of some girl
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: that she went to school with, and like the whole
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: idea of Samantha's like you can't hold like she's not
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: a box and you cannot put her down, and like
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: smaller isn't hers. She's like big brand. She knows everything.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Miranda has always been like almost like a book nerd.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: She's like always been serious, like even in the book
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: when she's young and serious, which is why she's awarded.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: And then I forget how she meets Charlotte in the book,
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: but at some point she doesn't need sherman, which let's
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: talk about.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Charlotte your friend, like you're constantly worried about folks conservative, right, No,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: I need you to know that in the spin off,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: she's not doing all right and she's borderline. Like every
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: episode I would watch and just like that, I would
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: text my friend Annie and I'd be like, do you
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: think Charlotte has dementia? And they're just not telling us
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: why because she would do off the wall say any things.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: And then just like you know who Charlotte is.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Charlotte is a mother who has given over to like
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: recreationally using her children's medication because the things that she
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: would say, You're.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: Like, Charlotte, are you good?
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Can I tell you something? I this is Canton Gott.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: I have a friend who we used to you know,
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: when you're doing like the oh I'm the short, we
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: always used to say, this is your Charlotte, like that
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: is whatever, Like we always make fun of her, like
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: you're gonna be the Real Housewives with the bronx, like
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: that is she knowing also that she's so much more
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: than that, but like that that's how you grew up.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: And I was like what her endgame was now seeing
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: her as a mother of multiple kids, she two says
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: ship and I'm like, it's almost like you're not regressing.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: It's it's but it's almost like once you have kids,
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: you have been through like battle feels like they proved
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: this life that you think is perfect is not. Like
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: a kid will fucking humble you. And I think what
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: happens is is you let go of all that up
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: tightness that you have and you just joined the chaos
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: because like other than that, you'll you'll go fucking crazy,
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: but you have to be like head of the chaos.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: And that's what Charlotte is she's head of the chaos,
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: like they're still chaos, but she's still managing it in
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: the show. But my girl in Sex and the City,
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: I saw her vision. I saw her vision, and I
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: get why she wanted it. Now when she got with Captain, what.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: The yes.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Isn't t Yeah?
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: And it's a guy from Twin Peaks, I know his.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Trent doesn't sound right. We're gonna call him Trent.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's the first husband though, the first
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: time you think his name is Trent on my list
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: of men. I did just put Charlotte's first husband.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Like you don't even get a name. We've been calling
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: him the Captain. We've just been calling him the Captain.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: It's not it starts with a T. I feel like
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: I'm not Trey.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: You were right there, played by Cutie Putty Kyle nick Laughlin.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Also known as the Captain the Captain. I get why
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: she wanted that. Like, when you're fucking on the dating streets,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: you're like, fuck this life, fuck this. I don't deserve this.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: I deserve to be happy, especially when you're in an
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: age where everybody's getting married and you're just like, what
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: the fuck I think she got married too fast because
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: always meet the mother in what before? Okay, just meet
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: the mother in law before and then make your decision.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: That's whine. But when our boy Harry came on the seat,
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: and she was just like ill, ill to everything that
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: is happening. Right, he sweats, he's like a pig. But
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: when my man got on that stand in courtroom or
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know where the fuck to tell the mother
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: in law or I felt that and then you know what,
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: it made me realize that we as women need to
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: give the nerd the alca all. We need to give
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: him a chance. Okay, we need to. And I think
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: her being with Harry also loosened her up because Trey
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: was a tight Why Harry's just like I love my
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: mom's she's dead, but like, you gotta be Jewish and
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: she did. Do you know how hard it is to
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: convert to Judaism. That's very very tough, ye, not like
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: just getting baptized and saying you're Christian. And my girl
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: was like, bet, I'm going to be Jewish, sid like
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: we celebrate Hanakah and say all of that. And she
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: did not stop, and she was just like I want
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: you and I want you to see the work I'm
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: going to put into this, because I think they were
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: broken up when she had decided to do it, right, yeah,
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: because she kept doing it, yeah, and she just and
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: like that to me is something that I think Harry
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: is jealous of, because I don't think that Carrie is
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: really willing to put in that kind of work. Didn't
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: carry try to tell.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: Her to stop, to like stop doing the conversing thing,
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: I don't know, and then she was like that because
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: I feel like there's a.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Scene like somebody who's telling her to stop doing it,
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: was like, I'm going to keep doing it, Like there's
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: like a whole point. I'm sure I want them like
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: you know, Miranda going I don't know, I know, not
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: something like that. Like they weren't even together. So it's
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: like Charlotte didn't have there was no stake in it, right,
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Like at that point, she was just doing it because
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: of the dating pool. I feel like and like, you know,
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: the community, but I just don't think that that Carrie
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: has to have steaks in it. And I just don't
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: She's not religious to begin with, so I imagine that
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: if she's met somebody who's like, she's like not me.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna do that. And I feel like she
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: couldn't even stop smoking. He took the words out of
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: my mouth like she was like, you won't mean know what. Okay,
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: we're gonna try this out. Yeah, and that's bash Carrie
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: because we're all like, here's Carrie and all of us, right,
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: But it's just like it's okay if you're not willing
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: to do that kind of hard work. No, I guess
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: doing that kind of hard work to really show like
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: I'm in this as opposed to like the Droppins I got,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: or like whatever the fuck she was doing with Big
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: It was just headgates with Charlotte and Harry was a
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: head gates. It was like I made a promise to
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: my dead mother, Like you don't have to with a mother.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: It's my dead mother that whoever I married will be Jewish.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: And he doesn't live a very is it secular right?
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: It is a religious life? I don't know. Yeah, Like
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: he's not like super into Judaism, but he made this
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: promise to his mom and he's like, this is my
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: boundary and she's like, fuck, I'm gonna meet you where
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: you're at. And it's just like carry wanted to be
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: swept over people from beginning to add and Charlotte's like,
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: I know that I can get that, but I'm gonna
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: put in this work too.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: And I think that Charlotte is the stand in for
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: us the audience because compared to sex on the study,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: the majority of America is pretty conservative about sex relationships
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: and daity. So for her to be actively twenty in
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: New York and still being like I kiss on the
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: third day and I fucked on the fifth day, and
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: like having very like Indiana coded ideals about while also
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: going like carry can't afford shoes you, I will be
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: marrying rich.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: I will afford shoes.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, Kerr could afford them. It was just like
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: the necessities that she could afford there, like hoousing and
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: you know, food. I don't know how this bitch eid
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: to be honest because you are that's restaurants. Her cigarettes,
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: I mean cigars were like three dollars to maybe not
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: but like, you know, yeah, she's terrible. He had to
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: marry rich like Aiden was not gonna be vile. Yeah, no,
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Aiden wasn't gonna be I just look. No.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Also, the biggest question about Aiden I have is where
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: was Aiden on January sixth, because I feel like I
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: know and I can like visualize this out there.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Do you, okay, we do we think that Aiden was
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: more of a Trump supporter than Big.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: No, I'm sure that Big was also a Trump supporter,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: but I'm sure that Big is one of those guys who's, like,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: I'm very liberal when it comes to like my culture.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: Ciscal Republican was definitely a close right and right.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: And then Aiden is the type of guy who's gonna
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: have to punch walls for days and scream at carry
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: if one of their kids ends up gay. Like I
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: know you all haven't dipped into and just like that yet,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: but it's so eye opening. Number one, here's a spoiler.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Aiden doesn't believe in medicating your children for like depression
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: or ADHD or anxiety or anything.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: I don't want to see that. Yeah, his son is
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: like packing out, and so that his ex wife is
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: up Carrie and like, can you get my son these drugs?
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: And so like. Then yeah, so that Carrie goes to
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Charlotte and likes, and Charlotte's like, I know, the moms
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: don't worry about it. So she goes with some random
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: mom and she's like hey, you got this, and he's
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: like yeah, I bet and these are like a couple
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: of pills and then Curry has to take across the
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: state line. Yeah it was it like it was something
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: like that stuff.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was like riddling, yeah, yeah, or some well.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: We're not doctors, guys, but it's like riding like that's crazy.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: She shouldn't have done that, and I don't, so that
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: means I gonna drug up your kids. So he's like,
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: chill the fuck out, and it's a lot of parapreezing. Meanwhile,
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: like Aiden's like my son does not eat therapy. What
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: my fifteen year old son needs is a gun in
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: the woods and co betting with me, Like we're back
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: to the family bad. So I'm actually getting a little
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: eye opening right here because I'm over here, like wait
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: a second, motherfucker, Ad is back in the picture. And
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: the next year in the series made you choose to
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: watch yet I need you to watch it. Let me
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: tell you we last week we saw the second movie
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: and I was just like, well, like I get the disappointment.
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: As far as like what was the plot that people
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: were there, but like the part, the whole part of
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: like Aiden and her and her cheating on Big with Aiden.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: I was like, I paused a couple of times. I
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: was looking at I was like, hold on a second,
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: because I'm like, you both are doing bad things here. Well,
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: her reason was because he wanted to be a regular
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: fucking old man. Yeah, she was like, I get that,
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: I didn't sign up for this, but this is what
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: I'm This goes back to like she wants to Yeah,
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: my dude just wanted to watch the next game afterl
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: we not work for twelve and she's like, no, we
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: got her out into the galla. He's like another one.
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: But when she calls up and tells, she's like, I
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: forget the excuse, but she says something a long life,
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: like oh, and it just it was an accident.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: I'm like, accident, You're you went to his hotel. What
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: bing many gotta do is not take the bullshit. I'm
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: let me tell you about my friend Carry.
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: She drove across the desert to this guy's hotel and
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: accidentally kissed him.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: At no point would I ever shape my life around Carry,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: And I do think not only is she obsessed with
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: being swept off of her feet and the only priority
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: in the relationship and this and the other, but like also,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: she'll just keep chasing it. When Big is like, do
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: I have to meet your friends? And she's like yeah,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: we're getting serious, and he's like okay, and then he's
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: very clearly trying to stand her up for that first
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: meat and great Emrianda's like I knew he was, like
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: that made and then Charlote is so excited because he
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: does show up and I was like, Harry, it's a
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: game he went to see if you were gonna call
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: him on his ship in front of all of your
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: friends and you would not, Well, I actually.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Think that's smart because I'm not gonna get I'm gonna
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: show you my crazy private so that you know, don't
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: ever fucking do that again, because if you go off
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: in front of the president, it's like you have an
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: audience and we know how she's gonna be in private.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: It's not gonna hold any week. But like in that
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: cortinuous situation, you gotta pull a guy asside.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: You have to go if you ever fucking pull some
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: ship like that again.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: Miserable okay byes, Okay, yeah, okay, oh my god, so
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: have you came. Let's have a great night. And then
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: they're like, what the fuck I.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: However, she never does look like I'm gonna kill you
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: eyes and once she's still like see he showed up
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: and this is fine.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's yea. It is kinder crazy. Also, I
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: think I always say and Samantha was ahead of her time.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: I think they gave her too much ship, and I
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: don't think they were very supportive. They were not very
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: girls girls about like about her. Yeah, they were also judgy,
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: like when she had a threes or I think she
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: dated a woman like she did hit a woman. And
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: it's just like why at this point, right, y'all been
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: fussing so fucking long? Why you be questioned? Why are
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: you questioning? The girls never called you crying like oh
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: my gosh, like so and he just broke up. If anything,
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: she's like, oh no, no, fuck this guy up and
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: I need to know what am I. They sure don't
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: complain when she gets them to be a people. Okay,
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: s the fuck? Don't you get sex with whoever you
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: was coming. I do think that she is outlanders, Like
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: the second movie is like girls, you girl, girl, you
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: just got kicked out of unrealistic. Yeah, like some of
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: it somebody did there's people who do that, but no,
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: they were literally just like what are why would you
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: even throw that out there?
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: And then that's something movie is crazy.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: But in the first one, it's just like she fucking
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: like she fucking wrote, let me tell you something. Having
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: a group of friends like that is actually because regardless
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: of how we feel about them, because they're all kind
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: of right ship, all of them collected as like that.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Because when he didn't fucking show up, Samantha was on
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: the fall. She was getting hit chy. She's booking the flight,
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: you know. Miranda was like, let's fucking get a lawyer.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: See what's yours. We're gonna get your apartment bed. Charlotte
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: was offering sympathy but also like I really don't know
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: what she it was more comforting, like she was like
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: comforting her, and it was like, Buck, some bitch is
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: right for each other, like even though they even though
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: they're kind of shitty to each other too, Like I
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: wish I had a lawyer, a fucking pr by pocket off,
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: Like what that life would be grand?
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, hit big.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: When he did show up for the wedding, like he
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: stands her up at the aisle and then he's like
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna show up anyways and tell her maybe we
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be married people, but who we definitely should be
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: people to one another. And Charlotte hits him and says, like,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: I told my girl that she was gonna be good
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: with you, and you made me a liar?
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: What did do you think about that? That whole wedding? See, well,
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously it was I thought that youture was unrealistic.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: To be honest, I was like, yeah, that turned me out.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: I was like, this would have made more sense on
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: the sidewalk, but.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: Not a Utah.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: The Charlotte's face definitely you see it like you ever
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: have that friend who is like you've never seen them mad? Yeah,
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: but the second you do, you tell you want to
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: tell me like, well watch out, watch out. That that's
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: the kind of look she had on her friends.
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: It does remind me like a lot of what you
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: just said though, that like you know, she having this
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: group of friends you have like somebody who can do something,
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: but like she's a supportive you know. Yeah, she's that
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: person who is willing to go up to the person
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: that just kissed you off. Yeah, you know, like to
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: have a friend like that who is willing to put
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: themselves out there like that. Emotionally, yeah, yeah, I feel
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: like that really solid part.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: Welcome.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think too, Like in the grand scheme of things,
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: it's always Miranda going, is anyone gonna fix this? And
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: then Samantha going this is very fixable and not a
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: big deal, and then Charlotte going, no, I've already fixed that.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: I got recover her energy, Like that's why when that
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: tree she went down and obviously stopped playing with my girl, Like,
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: stop playing with my girl. When Miranda got pregnant, said
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: to her, I was just like, also release the shackles
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: that Miranda has on her, Like she does not want
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: to be with Steve. She doesn't want to be with Steve.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: She does not want to be with him. The first
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: time I saw that show, I was like, fuck Miranda, Okay, Steve,
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: he is a fucking saint. Okay who she thinks she is.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: When we first started rewatching it, Manny's like fuck this guy,
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: he was like, and he was like, lastomous, don't ever
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: say that to six in the city. Can like are
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: you walking out of your mind? Goes fuck this guy's sheeve,
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: fuck this guy ate it. When he like first intro
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: to He's like, fuck it. I was like, I'm learning
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: so much, but tell me why fuck him? No? Actually, well,
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: it's funny about aiden was that when he first showed up.
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: I don't think I had much of an opinion about it,
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: except that, like, Okay, the guy's obviously just trying to
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: be like he's trying to.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: Make you a little, not make you better, but like,
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe adulthood. Adulthood influenced you, you know, carry
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: give them a break, give them. But that scene with
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: a cigarette, bro, that threw me off the edge.
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: I paused it and I was like, hold on a second,
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: hold on, my guy, you just walked into the situation.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: You don't know why she's smoking that cigarette, you don't
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: know why she needs it right now, and don't you
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: fucking dare tell somebody mid cigarette to put it out.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: I didn't like them from that point forward.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: My stance is, if you're morally against cigarettes, okay, then
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: don't then take smokers out of it. Like I'm not
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: dating single dads because I don't want kids, So why
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: are you dating a smoker if you don't like smoke?
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: Like I'm not a smoker. I don't smoke. I smoke weed.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: I don't smoke cigarettes. I don't like the smell of
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: cigarette to you. I don't. I'm not a fan of it. However,
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: I'm socially aware enough to know that if somebody just
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: lit a cigarette, nothing fucking finish it.
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: And your cigarette that dollars?
• 40:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, like the side eyes she gave him in
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: that second, I was like, oh no, Bro, go Beck
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: his side, go Beck, his side.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: Baby was so critical, hold on, hold on that, you're
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: not talking to my girl carry like that. We could
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: talk about Carrie like that, but you can't talk about
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: you walked in, Bro, Why why are you take that?
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: Aden and Big have such I'm gonna get this my
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: way because I wanted my way like privileged behind them
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: and be and it manifests in very different ways. Like
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: Big was like Samantha and Miranda were right when they
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: were like carry, everything's always on Biggs turns.
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: And she's like, what are you talking about?
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: And they're like, you literally walked into a restaurant that
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: he was in and he would not say hello to you,
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: like because he didn't agree to see you that day
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: and then, but everything was also on Aiden's terms because
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: Aiden was like, I get that you're sex collamlesness and
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: you think that like that's cute, Like your New York
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: lifestyle is so cute. However, have you ever been to
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: the woods? Have you ever made sour though? Have you
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: ever like, have you ever thought about two kids in
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: a minivan situation? And she'd be like, I don't know,
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: I guess I really haven't thought about it. And Aiden's like,
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: and I think it's what you've been waiting for all along,
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: and he would keep.
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: Planting those ideas in her head.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: And then he's he is so nice like on the outside,
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: like he's that typical like schmoozes all of your friends,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: good natured guy. Oh, I'm so funny, Steve and I
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: have so many laughs.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: He's a car You can't be mad at a carpenter when.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: Jesus not Jesus that then you do have to cheat,
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: well hot take, then you do have to cheat on
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: guys like that because you cannot escape them.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's true. And here's why I'm gonna
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: tell you why, Carrie, was it strong enough to play
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: the head games?
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: Correct?
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: That's that's the that is the fucking problem right there,
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: which I think is such a disservice in her character,
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: because yeah, there's such a thing as like I want
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: to be with someone who's not gonna play games. Okay,
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: so you get what I need and right, because he's like,
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: I'm this is what I want. There's no head games
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: about it. This is what I want. He's very direct
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: about it. That's it. We're big, she she was, She's
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: never learned how to play true, that's all it is.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: Because if I go into a restaurant and you ignore me,
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna ignore you too. We just too motherfuckers ignoring
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: each other. I've never met you in my life. Like
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: we we're gonna I'm gonna match what a rateorgy and.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna call you the wrong name the next time
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: you say hello to me, I'm gonna hurt your feelings.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: In a few way.
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: But like does play head games though, because he's the
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: type of guy, like he puts up this whole like
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: this look obviously he cares what people think, because that's
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: why he was telling Carrie how he feels about her lifestyle,
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: because it will make him look that right, So he
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: puts up He's the type of guy that puts up
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: this energy of like I'm the same one, so that
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: if you go crazy.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: Or if you do something wrong, it looks like you
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: did it wrong.
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: That's why he invited her to his hotel, because he
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: could have easily gone across the sands.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: And he could have her hotel, but she went to
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: his hotel. Now she looks like the Hope ladies. Sometimes
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: you watch the shows with the man and be like,
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: what's the game play? But see he looks like the
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: same ones. He's just there for work. That is fucking interastic.
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: He's an I'm always right and I'm always good guy.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't be mad at a carpenter. What are
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: you mad at? Jesus? Can I tell you the part
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: that fucking made me sick? And Mandy? Also, you you
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: tell me how your thought that Steve and Aiden were
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: friends or they were friends acting back, because.
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: I think I dropped my cup when I found that out.
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: I thought I was even like, I pause it.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: It was like, whoa Steve just just literal two broke
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: guys pulling from out of their league.
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: And then and it's like that's what they have in common.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: And then again, living in New York. New York is
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: so big, you would think you could find anyone. No,
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: actually it's so big that you only talk to people.
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: And then they brought a bar together, right, Yeah, they
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: didn't a bar together. Yeah. I was like, really good
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: because they didn't. They weren't friends. I always thought they
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: were friends and then they like but like they were
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: never they knew they exclusively met because the Miranda. Yeah,
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: after the breakdown.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: Steve also played the aiding game where he was like,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: you should want my baby and my broke.
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: Ass, and like, have you ever tried having fun that
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: is not as extreme as aided? But yeah, Steve did
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: that too. Oh I hated stee well, I she hated
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: Steve and at the very beginning when when he first
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: met him, because I was a fan of Miranda, she
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: made me choose somebody, so I had to choose someone,
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: and I looked I looked at Miranda more like Okay,
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: I like her. She's I'm a fan of what she's doing, right,
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: And I was like, oh my god.
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: And so Steve comes into the picture and I kind
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: of felt like he didn't know his position, you know,
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: like she's a fucking lawyer, bro, she's.
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: Got to be up early in the morning. You try
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: to have her like stay over to cuddle, and like
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: she's got a meeting, bro, Like, this is a working girl.
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: You know you work opposite schedules, and her job means
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: more than yours.
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: Like I didn't know what to tell her. God makes
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: way more than yours. And like, I get it. You're
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: trying to get her to settle with you, settle down
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: with you because you love her. I totally get that.
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: But he wasn't playing it the right way and the
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: sense of like seeming supportive of it. He seemed like
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: he was trying to like bring her down at his level,
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: and I wasn't.
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: A fan of that.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: He has short man syndrome. So did he love Miranda
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: or did he love that he could bag Miranda and
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: then impregnant Miranda and trap her.
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: I can see that, And definitely it was a trap.
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: I would say that. Yeah, Like if you if you knew.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: These people as people and they were all just friends
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: that we were talking about, you'd be like, Yo, my guy,
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: Steve got her pregnant. She's not going anywhere.
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: What are I going to that wedding? I don't know
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: if I can.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: What about when he got the dog? Oh? Like this
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: is too much, too much, tout a fucking dog.
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there was like a point where, like every Steed
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: storyline was like, my guy just keeps making mistakes.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: But at some point, at some point when when she
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: got blaming, when she got I got to be honest
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: over when she got.
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: Pregnant, I really like kind of change out there, and
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: I'm just like, look, friend, you're not gonna you're not
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: gonna have an abortion. You and I both know that you're.
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: Gonna have the kid.
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: And he's yeah, nobody's saying I have a mentality of
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: like nobody saying you gotta beat with them, but raise
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: the kid with them.
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: Like you gotta be you gotta be okay with the
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: fact that he's gonna be the father of the kid.
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: So when they ended up together and he bought the house.
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: Brooklyn, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, I was kind.
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: Of like Miranda, like, you're kind of fighting against the
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: water right now. But then he cheated and cheated.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because of his short aand syndrome, because he's always yeah.
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: So he's not gonna say he was making mistakes and
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: mistake you.
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: Know, showing it.
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: So having a one night stand with someone and then
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: them showing up to your house days later, to be like,
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: I have your phone number and I decided that we
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: should be seeing one another as like illegal, do not
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: show up to my house.
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: I guess it's okay, this is right, because the part
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: of be like, oh, that took a lot of fun
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: after to come back in here, and like the other
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: side of me be like, that's fucking weird.
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm intrigued and.
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: I want to know more. Like to me, i'd be like,
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: that's I want to know more, Like what else are
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: you willing to be if you're willing to know what else?
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: Which is probably sick, and I could take a look
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: at that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I guess okay. But
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: some things are like cell phone usage, social media. None
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: of that was like a factory back then, and so
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: I feel like some of the stunts that they were
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: doing it absolutely would not work right now, but it
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: also wasn't a big deal back then. I watually what
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: it would takes you out is like TV shows that
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: have scenes with the cancering machines, Oh my god, and
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: we don't even you know.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: The new iPhone update was like you'll never find your voicemails,
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, I've never listened to a voicemail, so
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: that's fine. After watching this is also like my hot
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: mein take, after watching all of sex of listening and
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: then and just like that, I gotta tell you, Miranda,
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: Brady wasn't worth it, Like Brady not a great guy,
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: not worth it, your son, your son that you shackled
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: yourself to stee for not great.
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: It's a weirdo.
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but like Brady didn't stand a chance, yes, right
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: by Magda exact the first season of and just like that,
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: this is white people shit. I'm sure you I don't know.
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: But like Miranda was letting his girlfriend, who happened to
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: be a spicy Latina, so I don't even because they
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: live in Brooklyn and she would stay. The girl would
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: stay at the house like sleepover. They're having sex with
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: a pass for home, not having sex. And I was
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: just like and Miranda's like hello, like respect, and I'm
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: like this you allow us to happen. At what point
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: was nobody like are you out of your dad? Damn line.
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: Brady is a jump skier. Every time you see him
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: as like a teen, you're like ah, and then he
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: talks and then you're like, I want to turn this off.
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: Steve said Steve Core. But it's like Miranda, Oh yeah, yeah,
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: I the we It sucked great because I think just
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: like that really had a uh it could have been yeah,
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: and I the stool. I was probably a little more
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: interested in the kids, to be honest with you. But
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: I like just like that because I was like, oh,
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: when I'm sixty, I could still be fab and fabulous,
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: Like yes, yeah, I could still be out here in
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: the streets. I could still be having That's what I
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: liked about it.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: I need to go back to Stephen the dog, because
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: here's the thing. I have a cat, but I grew
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: up a dog girl. I love dogs, but I.
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: Can't stand a surprise unwanted dog.
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: That's like a second unsurprised unwanted child. But then you
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: eventually want to talk.
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: But like, yeah, if a cat shows up to my house,
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: you know they're gonna nap and they're gonna like, you know,
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: lays around, and then they'll probably leave. Kats love to leave,
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: but a dog, an unwanted dog, is so much energy
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: and effort you can't just if you know, Miranda isn't
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: a dog person, and you're like, I know, I'll just
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: get my way and buy the dog.
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: That's that's abuse, that's foulsol abuse.
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah no, yeah, because he even guilt shippers. Yeah, the idea,
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: the dog thing with Steve, the idea of brain it's
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: not a small dog, but it wasn't a small dog,
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: and that doesn't That's something that really kind of bothers
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: me when you see big dogs and small apartment lily
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: situations like that's gonna be awkward for the dog. Yeah, yeah,
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: that bums me. It's like you couldn't get her a
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: chihuahua or something. It was her apartment. Something Maga could
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: help with, Maga dog mag do Bob can we talk
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: about because this is where I was like, everybody's wrong.
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: That check that Big gave her to save her apartment.
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: I don't remember she did.
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: I think she gave it back. I don't want it everywhere.
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: And like this is from the lady who.
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: Has the misogyny podcast, who's like they're always trying to
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: control list with money. I would have taken the money.
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: Take that money, all that grief, all that grief of
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: following him around New York, setting him to like you,
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: that's your time and your hourly rate is whatever.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: He wrote you a check for like, I can't believe
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: that I was just like, first of all, I would
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: be on cloud mind and you won't be able to
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: tell me shit or some man okay that I'm not
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: even in a relationship with dropping a thirty k check,
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: Like you're not telling me not I am fly, I
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: am that bitch like you. I would be writing that shit.
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: And I don't give it bout what nobody says. Did
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: somebody give you a thirty thousand dollars check? Vib No, okay, no,
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: they did it. That's yeah, yeah, definitely because she was
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: in a situation where because they ate it. Yeah, well
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: she needed because of it. Oh yeah he did that.
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: I didn't even talk about that when I'll say and
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: how he's a weirdo. The fact that he got left
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: her with this in the hole in the wall.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: Basically the kind carpenter just has a tantrum and leaves
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: you with a hole in your wall.
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: There's something that she didn't want. Yeah, she didn't want
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: the other apartment. Now that she didn't want, she did it.
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: She loves her part of the way it was, Yeah,
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: he chose. Oh my god, I can't believe I'm his No,
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: like realize that, Yeah, he did that and then fucking
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: said I want my but oh my god, he is
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: a terrible person.
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: He's a terrible person. Also, I would have catched that
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: check and I would have told nobody. They would have
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: been like, Daly, where'd you get that money to save
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: your apartment? And I'd be like, don't worry about it.
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: I'm I got it.
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: Thought some prayers, my powers, I may nifested it is
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: what I did. I lit a candle.
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: You got that? What did you think about the whole
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: Charlotte not giving them? Like I thought I was gonna
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: bring that up. Actually on the other side again, having
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: a friend like Charlotte giving you the ring and saying
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: do what you need to do with this. Yeah, but
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: that came like, like I thought that was really weird
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: because how about asking myf Like I know she didn't ask.
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: I am taking the ring to pawn it though, Like
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: I do believe that the only way that we get
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: out of the trap of like needing men to cut
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: us at thirty kight check is if we all start
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: to village our bills together, like what are your bills?
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: What I've got the movie this week? You can have
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: Chili's next week, Like it's all gonna be okay.
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that was like a creepy. But because also
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: when she's an apartment hunting and you use the prices,
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: me and him were hackling. We were crackling. We were like,
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: so twenty something years ago apartments did because she was
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: only exclusively with the Manhattan. We're fucking what it costs
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: now to live in like the worst part of the Bronx.
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: And I was fucking crackling, and I was like, I
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: cannot believe that it has not changed a bit. How
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: relevant all of this. Yeah, that was a really funny,
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: sad episode, was the Lanks.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: I would have gone to convince myself in my head
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: and be like, well, the only reason I was fucking
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: around with Aiden anyways is because they fucking traumatized me.
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: And then Aiden put a hole in my wall, So actually,
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: this is big problem and I'm taking it thirty.
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: Thousand dollars and the jury says yes.
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: I also looked at like, for a group of women
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: who are so secure in their own friendships and in
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: their lifestyle, Harry hates to see another woman coming. She
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: couldn't ever get over that big head ex wives. I
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: was like, but you knew why are you stalking these
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: ex wives? Remember when she went to the church to
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: look at his mom.
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, I was so embarrassed for her. I was
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: like I would not go out with her, oh because
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: Carrie Cambon.
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: Things go like that, right, showing up to a church
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: and then like with Miranda, I was like, this is wild.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: I'm not going.
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: I'm not going with you to stop this Fand's mother.
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: I feel like Sex and the City really perpetuated this
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: thing of like if you're a Pole City girl thing,
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: you definitely have friends and you're like in the gay culture,
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: and I think some people who aren't those type of
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: women really were like purposely try to recruit gay men
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: to their friend group to like learn more about like
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: you know, gay people invented brunch. Yeah, women batchelor red
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: party that we like we took over, and then straight
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: people as a people just like totally goring brunch. Yeah, totally.
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: In the City ruined lesbian bars, is what happened. Yeah,
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: So so Samantha dating that woman. I think it's Miranda
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: who says that bisexuality isn't real. She's like, what are
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: you talking?
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: Or it's Carrie. One of them goes what are you
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: talking about people aren't by that's made up?
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: If it's Miranda who says the fucking like, then you
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: got to watch the new show because you're just like girl.
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: I know that.
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: Carrie says it when she ends up sleeping with a
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: bye guy and she really likes them, but she can't
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: get over it. Yeah, she's like, because bisexuality is just
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: Gama not coming out or whatever. She says something horrific.
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: Charlotte has the hardest time with Miranda coming out and
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: just like that. But when Samantha comes out. I think
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: it's Miranda who's like, who the fuck do you think
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: you are all of a sudden walking up to brunch
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: today gay?
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: Like, what are you talking about? I mean that would
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: have been my reaction too, But I think she was
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: like probably always into that and she just never met
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: a bitch that was cool enough.
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: I have one last question before we probably read uh,
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: do you think watching it currently now that this show
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: holds up as technically women centered entertainment or does the
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: theme of there being like you have to be concerned,
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: Like I blame Charlotte for a lot of all of
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: the things that women allowed happened to happen to them
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: on Sex and the City because Charlotte was always there
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: to tell you, but this is going to pay off
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: when you get your fairy tale. This is just all
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: going to pay off when he finally picks you.
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: But it works for her, But it worked, but it
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: worked for Charlotte. Yeah.
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But do you still think that this gets to
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: be a pillar of women's centered entertainment.
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: I think it does, honestly, because I don't know so much.
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: If it was a lot, if there were a lot
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: of women in the writing room to put these stories together,
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: I doubt at all that they were easier than one.
• 58:57
  Speaker 4: But I feel like most of the stories the guys
• 59:01
  Speaker 4: were like pick a guy for this week and then
• 59:05
  Speaker 4: he's gone, right, Yeah, definitely, And even the guys who
• 59:11
  Speaker 4: do stick around, their stories revolve around what's going on
• 59:16
  Speaker 4: with these four women. So I think it's done really well.
• 59:20
  Speaker 4: And they don't do like I'm a fan of comedy
• 59:23
  Speaker 4: and I love when there's a good joke put in,
• 59:26
  Speaker 4: but there's like no there. It's hard to pinpoint a.
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: Part where their jokes aren't landing, you know, because it's
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: not a comedy show. But the funny stuff is like okay,
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: that was good. That was good. But I feel like
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: in Sex and the City.
• 59:42
  Speaker 4: Obviously it was guys writing it. You know, it took
• 59:45
  Speaker 4: years for to get women in the writing room. But
• 59:49
  Speaker 4: I feel like I don't see anything where it's putting
• 59:53
  Speaker 4: their characters in a bad light. Definitely puts guys in
• 59:56
  Speaker 4: the bad light, which is a good thing because I
• 59:59
  Speaker 4: feel like it's more listening.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: I mean when I was always defending Taylor Swift until
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: right now when her and I are night over the
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: last yea, thank you, thank you for being honest. So anyway,
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: her and I, But when I was a defender, I
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: would always say that the reason why Taylor Swift's songs
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: and albums about her ex's land is because sometimes you
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: do have to center men in art to make other
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: women wake up to the bullshit that's happening. So like,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: all too well, I think that that's an anthem about
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: when she seems like.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: It was rare.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: I was there, I remember it all too well. That's
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: her being all like, you sold me a story. I
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: remember it being good, and then you ripped it from
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: me because you were just fucking gaslighting me the entire time.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, women need that song. So I think
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: that like sex and them said, he did so much
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: sexuality wise, getting women to talk about sex with their friends, infertility, fertility,
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: unplanned pregnancy, abortion, Like they ran the gamut throughout that
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: entire show and we're still talking about it.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: For me, it is women centric because of basically of
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: everything you said. But as a young woman watching that,
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, fuck these guys, Like I like
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: really resonated with the Samantha of it all of like
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: I can have sex without having emotional attachment because sex
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: can be fun, sex can be all these things done safely,
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: can be all these things. I don't have to feel
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: bad about it. I don't have to feel bad if
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: I'm talking to three four guys or if I'm like, oh,
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: if this one's acking up, I'm gonna get it. Like
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: to me, that was such a pillar of my colleges
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: into my early twenties, and I don't know if I
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: would have felt that way if I didn't have a
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: show like that. That was like really sending the message
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: of sexes for everybody. Men. You know, don't let men's
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: ideas of what a woman's supposed to be be inflicted
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: upon you. Because like even the men that Samantha dated.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: It was like they you know, she's tall, blonde and beautiful,
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: but she's a boss and nobody's gonna tell her what
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: to do. She's gonna tell you what to do. And
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: that to me was just like, oh, I can do that.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: I could be saft like Charlotte, I can't. I can't
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: do that. But it just shows like different ways, different
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: outlets of like finding love, Like you can be a
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: carry and it could work out for you, but the
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: trauma that led you there might be crazy, but you
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: are still capable of finding love. You know, Miranda, whether
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: it's what a woman or a mant, you're capable of
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: finding love. You are capable of Samantha capable of finding love, Charlotte,
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: like these women are. It teaches you like you are
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: capable no matter which character you are a finding love,
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: but you have to be youthful. You cannot fit there
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: because that's what Charlotte did with Trey, and she's like,
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: oh my god, I fucking hate him. I fucking hate
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: And even when Samantha was, uh, like his name Jared,
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: and she was just like, I don't like the person.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: I like, I love you, but I just don't love
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: the person I am, and I love myself more than you.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: And I was like, Sis, yes, and.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 3: When you need to hear shit like that, at the
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 3: end of the day, you're going to the grave with yourself,
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 3: so you better love yourself.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I don't know that I would have would
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: have had that outlook if it wasn't for this show
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: to be like if a boy, if a guy broke
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: my heart, yeah, I'll have a day or two your crime,
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: but also then the anger rage and like I'm this
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: bad bitch and like fuck him, I'm at a run
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: five miles, I'm gonna like. I think it did a
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: lot for the culture, and I know, like people are
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: so pissed off about this spinoff, but I also think
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: if you had the time, I think it could have
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: been a great hill and especially for women over fifty,
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: over six, and to show us young women like you
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: don't die when you hit your thirties, when you hear
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: your forties.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: I think because we always end episodes with manifestations, and
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: sometimes I just I'm like, and that manifestation was good enough.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: I'm out from doing my own job. But I think
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: if I could manifest anything out of sex in the City,
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: it would be more character driven stories where it's like,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: by the end of the season, I know these people
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: in and out, and I don't know if we get
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: to do it in ten episodes, it's.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: Really tough because I mean it's by the end of
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: the first season.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 4: I would say stuff like my friend Carrie is so
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 4: I would say something like that about shows anymore.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: But you know what the gag is, the original Sex
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: and the City was only ten episodes. That is kind
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: of crazy.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: Well, okay, we end every episode with our guests telling
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: us what they've learned from our topic and then a
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: manifestation that they'd like to add back into the collected entergy,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: so we can end the bullshit.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: But what do you think was your.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: Biggest takeaway from doing a Sex and the City rewatch
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: in twenty five?
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: My big wow, what did I learn?
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 3: I was your life lesson?
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: My life lesson? My life lesson was that watching it
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: with a man who's never watched it before really opened
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: my eyes to a lot of other theories, like the
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: whole aiden theory, because I was like deceived theory of
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: it all because I was just like those guys agreat
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: those are the guys who want to end up with
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: so rewatching it with a guy who's like oh no, no, no, no,
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: was like, was like, well, damn, you should have been
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: a dating Like where have you been on the side.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: What I want to manifest back is like how cool
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: New York us to be and how like Lively used
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: to be. And I would manifest that culture back if
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: I could hopefully, hopefully do a full circle of whatever's
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: happening now we get to go back to that.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 4: What I learned doing the rewatch definitely, like I said
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 4: in the beginning, I've learned that it's probably the most
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 4: accurate to New York lifestyle. It really if you take
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 4: away the characters and just like take a look at
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 4: what's going on in the background. It is definitely that
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 4: that feel and that look that you look for when
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 4: you come to New York. And then like the dirty
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 4: parts too.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: Like the things that they're doing when they gets into
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: the scrap, but also like watching it like I was
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: always out of.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 4: The roof with the jokes. There's this joke on Forgetting
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 4: Sarah Marshall where he's drunk and he's like, oh, I'm Miranda,
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 4: I don't have that much sense, So I'm Samantha I
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 4: have sex with it.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: Like, I heard the joke, but I didn't understand it
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: until now. And then you watch other shows and you
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: can see how influential this show was. Because I was
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: definitely pausing like, oh, I've seen that's that's where they
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: got it from. You know, I definitely see just watching it.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: I don't want to say it opened my eyes because
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: I've always been as far as I can tell, at
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: least the last ten years, I've always been I want
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: to say an ally.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 4: You know, I've never really been the type to be
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 4: in a guys group and be like, all the guys
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 4: are right. I've always been kind of on women's side
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 4: on stuff. I've always leaned towards that.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So it didn't really so much open my eyes,
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: but watching it was really fun to understand what the
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: hype was because it was good if it got me
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: in the first couple episodes.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 4: As far as what I would like to manifest, would
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 4: I like to put out there, You're right, they should
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 4: do a show about Stan.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: It can't no, I like, somebody could put young Stan
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: on the streets of New York.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 3: Television. Gay, Yeah, put it on there?
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: Why not? Like these side characters that kept coming back. Yeah,
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: like because they're that's all you know already, They're gonna
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: keep They're not just gonna let go of VIP, you know,
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: like they're gonna keep trying to make as much money
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: as they can so they diet wanna be side characters
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: and give them the show? Why not? I'll watch that.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 4: I would like to see like some skits from people, though,
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 4: like of conversations that you know happened that weren't you know,
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 4: Like how like the whole conversation of Steve and Aiden,
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 4: like when they first met and decided to become friends,
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 4: and like the whole thing of them getting a bar
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 4: together hadn't been a conversation there about Carrie. You're right,
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 4: they were talking about it about the women. But I
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 4: want to hear I want to know what they were saying.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 3: No, me too, Yeah, yeah, you share that.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: Are you sure we should be doing this? It's fine, man,
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: It's fine, They're gonna be fine. Man, nobody's gonna get mad.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: Sure about this?
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 3: Uhh Yeah.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: And everyone's final reminder was is that sex in the City?
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: Was I actually about those men at all?
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: Did you?
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 3: Could you imagine me? Aiden?
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: And again, I'm not I'm not on seeing any of
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: them at this point, but like to be aiden and
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: it's like, man, I just wish that I could live
