- 0:24Speaker 2: to hear our reactions. What's even better is that Annie
- 0:29Speaker 2: has not seen many of these episodes, so I put
- 0:32Speaker 2: her on the spot because I need to feel superior
- 0:34Speaker 2: about some fictional things, and this is that moment.
- 0:37Speaker 1: Oh, I like that. This has been a year's long
- 0:42Speaker 1: journey of you trying to get one up on.
- 0:45Speaker 2: Me every day every day anyway, But yes, we are

- 0:58Speaker 2: it's just you know, getting away from the kids, do
- 1:01Speaker 2: so responsible. Make sure the kids are okay. I would
- 1:04Speaker 2: not listen with kids just FYI, because this is an
- 1:07Speaker 2: adult show.
- 1:08Speaker 1: Yes, but it was on CW during.
- 1:10Speaker 2: The daytime for a long time, so that was really weird.
- 1:11Speaker 2: Of course, very edited, but still very heavily on the
- 1:14Speaker 2: adult subjects. It wasn't hard to see the implications.
- 1:18Speaker 1: Anyway.
- 1:19Speaker 2: We are not currently being sponsored by any of the
- 1:21Speaker 2: things we were talking about as well, just put that
- 1:23Speaker 2: out there. Things change, though. We would love to be
- 1:25Speaker 2: sponsored by Sex in the City. They kind of did
- 1:27Speaker 2: for a minute, kind of kind of yeah, anyway, any
- 1:32Speaker 2: are you used to being on anything?
- 1:35Speaker 1: Just just my good old light beer. I got my
- 1:38Speaker 1: my vaccines. Oh this morning, so I'm waiting to see.
- 1:44Speaker 1: That's brave what happens. It was the things that we
- 1:48Speaker 1: had to do this week.
- 1:49Speaker 2: No, no, no, I mean not just the fact that, like
- 1:51Speaker 2: an aftermath. That's why I've been holding off.
- 1:54Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's why I went to go get them.
- 1:56Speaker 1: Smith and I are about to travel together.
- 1:58Speaker 2: To New York, New York, the city as some of
- 2:04Speaker 2: the people would say.
- 2:06Speaker 1: Some would say that maybe and again, if you have
- 2:10Speaker 1: any recommendations of places we should go, let us know.
- 2:13Speaker 1: But I was trying to get them before then. I
- 2:15Speaker 1: had COVID three months ago. You're supposed to wait three months.
- 2:19Speaker 1: Oh no, I can't get But the person who gave
- 2:22Speaker 1: me the vaccine, she did it so smoothly, like I
- 2:24Speaker 1: didn't feel any pain or anything. But I'm waiting. I'm
- 2:26Speaker 1: waiting for it to kick in. I am pretty tired.
- 2:29Speaker 1: I don't know if that's related or not, but I'm
- 2:32Speaker 1: pretty tired, but anyway, light.
- 2:35Speaker 2: Beer for me, a light beer for you, and a COVID.
- 2:40Speaker 1: Shot and flue shot.
- 2:42Speaker 2: I got both and the flu shot I have stuck
- 2:47Speaker 2: with my bubbly water. As as we said, we're kind
- 2:50Speaker 2: of busy, so being sleepy, achy or any of the
- 2:53Speaker 2: above is not an option for this week or next
- 2:55Speaker 2: week or ever. Again, I'm just kidding, but yeah, so
- 2:59Speaker 2: could y'all in. As you know, we will be doing
- 3:03Speaker 2: an audience participation of this segment. Specifically, I have picked
- 3:07Speaker 2: out an episode. It will be done in the new year.
- 3:10Speaker 2: We are going to go ahead and select someone by
- 3:12Speaker 2: the end of this year, twenty twenty four. So if
- 3:14Speaker 2: you would like to participate, let us know, send us
- 3:17Speaker 2: an email, send us a dm. Anie will tell you
- 3:20Speaker 2: how to do that at the end of this because
- 3:22Speaker 2: it's a very long spiel and I'm not going to
- 3:23Speaker 2: add it to the beginning. But yeah, so you just
- 3:27Speaker 2: all you need is a laptop, an internet connection, and
- 3:30Speaker 2: a microphone or headsets rather, yes, and an email.
- 3:35Speaker 1: Although a microphone would be nice, but you don't need it.
- 3:38Speaker 2: You don't need it, like you know, you know, you're fine.
- 3:42Speaker 1: And if you have sent your name in. We are
- 3:46Speaker 1: taking them. I promise. I am very behind answering listenermail,
- 3:51Speaker 1: but I all the names are being accounted for. I
- 3:55Speaker 1: believe you. Thank you, Samantha. I believe you.
- 3:58Speaker 2: I hope so, I hope it's true. But yeah, So
- 4:02Speaker 2: with that, we're going to jump in. We are on
- 4:04Speaker 2: episode eleven of season three, Am I right? Yes? Yes,
- 4:11Speaker 2: So Annie, can you give us a rundown of what
- 4:15Speaker 2: has happened in season three thus far?
- 4:18Speaker 1: Well, I've said it for I'll say it again. I
- 4:21Speaker 1: think season three has been one of a lot of changes,
- 4:24Speaker 1: a lot of questions, a lot of forks in the road.
- 4:28Speaker 1: So we've got Samantha doing her own thing generally. We've
- 4:34Speaker 1: got Miranda, who was with Steve. Seemed like she had
- 4:37Speaker 1: settled in with him and then kind of felt like
- 4:40Speaker 1: he was too immature and he, after a long process,
- 4:45Speaker 1: has moved out and now she's starting to date again.
- 4:50Speaker 1: Kind of had an awkward like phone sex guy uh
- 4:53Speaker 1: in the last episode, but she's, you know, branching out.
- 4:56Speaker 1: We've got Charlotte who's been on the hunt for a
- 4:59Speaker 1: husband and she has found one in Trey. It didn't
- 5:03Speaker 1: quite go how she wanted in terms of the proposal,
- 5:06Speaker 1: and then she had to deal with the mom, his
- 5:09Speaker 1: mom being really controlling and wanting a prenup and all
- 5:13Speaker 1: of this, and she asked for more than what was
- 5:17Speaker 1: offered originally and she got it, so she feels like
- 5:19Speaker 1: she's getting what she's worth. And then you've got Carrie
- 5:25Speaker 1: who has found Aiden and it is a pretty stable,
- 5:30Speaker 1: from what I've seen, healthy relationship after her relationship with
- 5:36Speaker 1: Big that was very dramatic and uneven, but she doesn't
- 5:39Speaker 1: seem to know how to deal with a relationship that
- 5:43Speaker 1: doesn't have drama in it. So she has fallen back
- 5:51Speaker 1: in with Big and is cheating on Aiden with him,
- 5:56Speaker 1: and he has said he was going to leave his wife.
- 5:59Speaker 1: I can't remember actually did, but anyway, they're sleeping together.
- 6:04Speaker 1: And yeah, she did not tell Aiden about that, and
- 6:11Speaker 1: that's about where we are.
- 6:14Speaker 2: You're not wrong. All of that was pretty good.
- 6:17Speaker 1: All that was pretty good.
- 6:19Speaker 2: Now, as per usual, let me tell you the episode
- 6:23Speaker 2: title and you let me know what you think is coming.
- 6:27Speaker 2: It is Running with Scissors. I remember this title really
- 6:31Speaker 2: during that time because at that point we had that
- 6:33Speaker 2: book Running with Scissors by Augustin Burrows. I remember I'd
- 6:40Speaker 2: read it around that time. No, really, yeah, anyway, it
- 6:46Speaker 2: was very traumatic that book. But anyway, what do you think?
- 6:49Speaker 2: What do you think? What do you think this is about?
- 6:53Speaker 1: Oh? My goodness, did you all? No? But because I've
- 6:59Speaker 1: told there's a Taylor Swift song of course listen Affairs,
- 7:04Speaker 1: But there's another Taylor Swift called a song called Augustine.
- 7:09Speaker 1: Augustine's also about cheating. It's not the same name. Sorry,
- 7:16Speaker 1: I actually don't know how to I actually don't know
- 7:18Speaker 1: how to pronounce it because it's just august in the song.
- 7:22Speaker 1: But there's a like more about it that I don't know. Anyway.
- 7:27Speaker 1: The answers, well, let me think, Okay, running with scissors
- 7:36Speaker 1: is something you're not supposed to do. It's something your
- 7:39Speaker 1: people tell you when you're a kid. You're not supposed
- 7:42Speaker 1: to do it. So it's got to be something like
- 7:45Speaker 1: I think Carrie's going to continue cheating and but people
- 7:51Speaker 1: are going to start to get suspicious of her in
- 7:53Speaker 1: this one. Like I feel like Aiden was already kind
- 7:56Speaker 1: of a little suspicious, but I feel like it's really
- 7:59Speaker 1: gonna amp up in this one. But she's going to
- 8:04Speaker 1: keep going. Charlotte's planning this wedding, so something's gonna go
- 8:11Speaker 1: a miss. I don't know. I feel like scissors are
- 8:13Speaker 1: literally going to be involved in some sense, perhaps sexually
- 8:17Speaker 1: involved in some sense. But I don't think so. But
- 8:20Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm like this back and forth. I
- 8:25Speaker 1: gotta think about it. I mean, I've seen these titles
- 8:28Speaker 1: go all kinds of ways.
- 8:30Speaker 2: It's true, it's true. They can be misleading. Sometimes they're
- 8:33Speaker 2: really on point.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like all of them are. So it's
- 8:39Speaker 1: flirting with something dangerous that you shouldn't do, are Yeah,
- 8:45Speaker 1: I think that's it.
- 8:46Speaker 2: Okay, you want to add anything else to that.
- 8:51Speaker 1: They'll go to brunch. There you go.
- 8:55Speaker 2: I just didn't want you to miss out adding that one,
- 8:59Speaker 2: Just making you didn't miss out on that part.
- 9:03Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, are you ready to get into it?
- 9:05Speaker 2: Yes?
- 9:19Speaker 3: Our affair like our hotels had gone from elegant with
- 9:21Speaker 3: crystal to ceed with plastic cups.
- 9:25Speaker 1: Oh my god. This Taylor Swift song is so on point.
- 9:29Speaker 1: That's what she says in the song. We used to
- 9:32Speaker 1: meet in the fancy hotels, and now we meet the
- 9:34Speaker 1: parking lot.
- 9:36Speaker 3: No, I'm just so confused. I mean, does he only
- 9:45Speaker 3: want me now because he can't have me?
- 9:47Speaker 2: See she's back in this existential crisis because of her mistakes,
- 9:51Speaker 2: Like you should.
- 9:52Speaker 3: See but everyone to get out of this without anyone
- 9:54Speaker 3: getting hurt.
- 9:55Speaker 1: Well, that's realistic.
- 9:57Speaker 2: Why not how you've.
- 9:59Speaker 3: Heard those stories about how about affairs where people realize
- 10:03Speaker 3: how great their other relationship is and and end it
- 10:06Speaker 3: without anyone being the wise.
- 10:07Speaker 2: This is where I really think she's the worst lead character,
- 10:10Speaker 2: Like this moment here pretending like she can do this
- 10:14Speaker 2: and like she's not the problem and this is not
- 10:17Speaker 2: going to cause all the heartache.
- 10:19Speaker 3: Yeah, Samantha was judging the crowd at a new hotspot
- 10:28Speaker 3: on the Lower West Side.
- 10:29Speaker 2: Yeah, I should have gone with that club and they
- 10:33Speaker 2: went to a club at least to a bar. Maybe
- 10:37Speaker 2: I pressured you too hard into the but to be
- 10:43Speaker 2: if you had to guess anything, because you still have
- 10:47Speaker 2: it's true a good twenty minutes.
- 10:49Speaker 1: It's true. Things can change.
- 10:51Speaker 3: Short the male Samantha, Hi, I'm Tom Raimi.
- 10:55Speaker 1: I know who you are.
- 10:57Speaker 2: Oh, I know who you are.
- 10:58Speaker 3: It's about time we met.
- 11:00Speaker 1: We know the same people we should go to.
- 11:04Speaker 2: When you know, like the other person is like it
- 11:07Speaker 2: likes to have sex with everyone. I don't know if
- 11:10Speaker 2: I know anything like I've had friends who like dated
- 11:12Speaker 2: many of people, but that's not the same thing to
- 11:15Speaker 2: the level.
- 11:16Speaker 1: Yeah, I've had like a friend that was known for
- 11:19Speaker 1: being down down to have like a one night stands. Yeah,
- 11:23Speaker 1: but I don't I wouldn't say that was what she
- 11:26Speaker 1: was known. Yeah. I don't think like if somebody random
- 11:29Speaker 1: came at a party, they'd be.
- 11:30Speaker 2: Like, that's so yeah, because I think like within our
- 11:33Speaker 2: own friends group, we might like have a conversation about this,
- 11:36Speaker 2: but like it's not well known.
- 11:40Speaker 1: I got hard in that club just from looking at you,
- 11:47Speaker 1: and I think you and I both know what's going
- 11:48Speaker 1: to happen. We get up in that.
- 11:49Speaker 2: Swing by that swing looks complicated too.
- 11:54Speaker 1: I just don't know this.
- 11:55Speaker 2: I'm like, how does this work? I thought, I'm like,
- 12:00Speaker 2: maybe I'm just too prudish in this level, Like but
- 12:04Speaker 2: what how what? That looks really uncomfortable. It's kind of
- 12:08Speaker 2: like people talking about sex on the beach or sex
- 12:10Speaker 2: in the shower. The actual like the reality is like, oh,
- 12:14Speaker 2: I'm either first of all, I hate saying we know
- 12:16Speaker 2: this skywalker, yes I know, and then then in the
- 12:23Speaker 2: in the shower everything gets cold very quickly like no,
- 12:26Speaker 2: thank you, Like I need to be.
- 12:29Speaker 1: Natural loop.
- 12:31Speaker 2: Yeah. Also the fact that people prefer different temperatures. I
- 12:34Speaker 2: need mine scalding hot, especially right now while it's cold. Miranda,
- 12:43Speaker 2: you take modern bride, Samantha, New York bride, and I'll
- 12:47Speaker 2: take what annoying bride or carriage? Page two eleven paint posted,
- 12:51Speaker 2: tell me what you think you know? Okay, people out
- 12:54Speaker 2: there who have recently planned weddings, do y'all still look
- 12:57Speaker 2: at Bridle magazines? Because that was a like marking everything
- 13:01Speaker 2: like Charlotte's doing in here? Do we still do this?
- 13:05Speaker 2: Not that I'm getting married, but is that still a thing?
- 13:09Speaker 2: Or do we just internet like the internet things? No
- 13:13Speaker 2: hard copy thing.
- 13:14Speaker 1: Yeah, he won't sleep with me unless I have a test, Samantha, But.
- 13:20Speaker 3: Looking at wedding gowns, could you please not talk about
- 13:23Speaker 3: AIDS right now? You've never had an HIV test?
- 13:26Speaker 2: No? Have you too? I love that they normalize this
- 13:32Speaker 2: during this time, like really being like, of course we did,
- 13:35Speaker 2: come on, neverbody should like we might not talk about it,
- 13:37Speaker 2: but why not? It's accessible and I feel like it's God,
- 13:42Speaker 2: we're in a cycle, but it's coming back up as
- 13:45Speaker 2: like normalizing again because it's somehow being stigmatized again. Yeah,
- 13:52Speaker 2: not that our listeners need to know, but getting checked
- 13:54Speaker 2: for an STD is just smart.
- 13:57Speaker 1: Yeah. I have a friend, good friend who won a
- 14:03Speaker 1: speech essay and speech contest talking about her experience getting
- 14:09Speaker 1: tested and then why it was so important. And I
- 14:11Speaker 1: love that. If you're listening, that's amazing, amazing, it's so important.
- 14:17Speaker 2: Don't be a Charlotte, be Miranda. I'll get several toughs.
- 14:27Speaker 1: You want pasta, you go to Little Italy.
- 14:30Speaker 2: You want wedding, you go wang.
- 14:32Speaker 3: You want the perfect wedding dress, fast, go to Anthony
- 14:34Speaker 3: Marantino stylist.
- 14:36Speaker 2: Yes, Anthony Marantino is now being introduced. Then we will
- 14:40Speaker 2: know him forever.
- 14:42Speaker 1: Now there's a place in Atlanta that would let you
- 14:44Speaker 1: go try on wedding dresses even if you weren't getting married.
- 14:46Speaker 1: And I almost did it once. I just want to
- 14:50Speaker 1: try them all.
- 14:51Speaker 2: Okay, okay, So again I would just be sleepy and panicky.
- 15:00Speaker 1: This was back when I was more confident in my
- 15:01Speaker 1: body and you wanted to see. Yeah, I was pretty
- 15:06Speaker 1: sure I was never going to get married, so I
- 15:07Speaker 1: was like, why not try it all?
- 15:10Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't know.
- 15:12Speaker 1: I did have my perfect wedding dress. When I was young.
- 15:16Speaker 2: Oh, really, like you picked one out?
- 15:17Speaker 1: No, I just had an idea of it. Okay, it
- 15:20Speaker 1: was just like a comfortable it was short, it was
- 15:22Speaker 1: like knee length. I didn't want the whole thing. Mm hmmm,
- 15:26Speaker 1: it's actually yellow, a yellow nineties.
- 15:30Speaker 2: I've always said I would do like an empire waste
- 15:33Speaker 2: because they all looked better on me. And then I
- 15:36Speaker 2: still really liking like the pride prejudice levels, like let
- 15:40Speaker 2: me get a cap and everything.
- 15:42Speaker 1: I would never.
- 15:49Speaker 2: Eat me.
- 15:49Speaker 3: Three days later, Miranda had finally gotten her fill of
- 15:52Speaker 3: the sandwich.
- 15:53Speaker 2: Okay, that's it. You're not allowed to harass women like that.
- 15:57Speaker 2: Eat me.
- 15:58Speaker 1: This was a horror movie. You would have walked this.
- 16:01Speaker 1: She's lost her mind. It's not I never talked to him.
- 16:06Speaker 1: She's like the sandwich is talking.
- 16:09Speaker 2: Okay, then listen, that sandwich out front is saying sexually
- 16:12Speaker 2: explicit things to women as they walk by. What he's saying,
- 16:15Speaker 2: eat me? Yeah, he's a sandwich. No, he didn't say
- 16:19Speaker 2: it in the sandwich way. He said it in the
- 16:21Speaker 2: sexual harassing way.
- 16:22Speaker 1: Lady, he's a sandwich. Well, I mean that's close, Drope.
- 16:31Speaker 3: Oh you're so great.
- 16:33Speaker 1: I'm scared, right, now.
- 16:36Speaker 3: I feel faces and shiny white teeth. To stop thinking
- 16:41Speaker 3: about the sandwich and start wondering about the man inside
- 16:45Speaker 3: the bun.
- 16:45Speaker 2: No, no about a sandwich.
- 16:49Speaker 3: You're telling me you're turned on by a sandwich.
- 16:53Speaker 1: I think that's the fact.
- 16:54Speaker 2: That I can't see him dangerous something. Your horror is her.
- 16:58Speaker 2: Apparently they did not see a face enticing for some.
- 17:10Speaker 3: You know, I was doing business in the area and
- 17:13Speaker 3: we kind of bumped into each other.
- 17:15Speaker 2: Charlotte, how are you?
- 17:16Speaker 3: I was just I just checked on my wedding dress
- 17:18Speaker 3: in sead of Taylor and Charlotte. Better go.
- 17:23Speaker 1: Throat clear the judgment clear.
- 17:28Speaker 2: I mean it's a whole different thing to not know
- 17:31Speaker 2: and then follow up like meeting a CD hotel, a
- 17:35Speaker 2: fource bigger than me, and then her coming over here
- 17:38Speaker 2: and making all these bad excuses.
- 17:40Speaker 1: No, I don't know he's married.
- 17:43Speaker 3: I know he's married.
- 17:44Speaker 1: That makes you's the other woman. You're the other woman.
- 17:47Speaker 3: I am not the other woman.
- 17:49Speaker 2: I mean someone needed to have this conversation with her
- 17:52Speaker 2: instead of just enabling and being supportive. I get to
- 17:56Speaker 2: a certain extent, but there's need one good come to
- 17:59Speaker 2: Geese this moment and then moving on I'm calling her Monday.
- 18:13Speaker 2: I have to go.
- 18:14Speaker 1: You know how to let yourself out?
- 18:17Speaker 3: I couldn't help it one day?
- 18:18Speaker 2: Is that the relationship you want? Where he says, I
- 18:20Speaker 2: have to go, you have to let your you know
- 18:22Speaker 2: how to let yourself out? You? And then she's also
- 18:26Speaker 2: going through his refrigerator?
- 18:29Speaker 1: What did I really know? What are you doing?
- 18:33Speaker 3: Natasha is a woman who likes t.
- 18:35Speaker 1: Roses as someone who's very ridiculous about why refrigerator would
- 18:43Speaker 1: be like you eat.
- 18:45Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 18:46Speaker 3: Natasha is a woman who comes home from the Hampton's early.
- 18:49Speaker 2: Honey, are you here? I took the chimney home, sweetheart.
- 19:01Speaker 1: I know.
- 19:05Speaker 2: Pary girl andraw.
- 19:09Speaker 1: It's pretty bad.
- 19:12Speaker 2: In my house.
- 19:14Speaker 1: To you, oh oh god. I had always assumed the
- 19:27Speaker 1: one who would be hurt.
- 19:28Speaker 2: In all this it would be me, would be me
- 19:31Speaker 2: selfish narcissist. To comment, the only person who'd be hurting
- 19:34Speaker 2: all this would be me? Are you mail get out?
- 19:38Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 19:40Speaker 2: If you can't tell. I have very heavy opinions about
- 19:42Speaker 2: these episodes.
- 19:44Speaker 1: I think a lot of people do.
- 19:45Speaker 2: I think you have the option and you can grow
- 19:47Speaker 2: from these situations. But but to have the statement the
- 19:53Speaker 2: only person that I thought would get hurt because of
- 19:55Speaker 2: course nobody else has feelings so much roller coaster, so
- 20:15Speaker 2: much angers, yeah when it comes to this episode, so
- 20:19Speaker 2: there's not like this type of scenario is kind of
- 20:23Speaker 2: the reason I was hesitant in bringing a listener one
- 20:26Speaker 2: of y'all to add to this conversation because it's so
- 20:28Speaker 2: heavy handed, and not that it doesn't continue on obviously,
- 20:33Speaker 2: but we are going to have a little past that.
- 20:36Speaker 2: But it's just like a heavy moment of like, yeah,
- 20:40Speaker 2: I didn't even realize that was the line she pulled
- 20:43Speaker 2: until now that whole like, I didn't think anybody would
- 20:47Speaker 2: get hurt with me. I thought the only one who
- 20:48Speaker 2: would get hurt was me, y'or like that's such a narcissistic,
- 20:52Speaker 2: selfish comment, Like no, you didn't. You're only thinking about
- 20:56Speaker 2: yourself period, Like that's the whole point and why people
- 20:59Speaker 2: are hurt and the fact that you're not even defending
- 21:01Speaker 2: your man when he like, yeah, brings him up like
- 21:06Speaker 2: she does at one point, but come on, it takes
- 21:08Speaker 2: a long time.
- 21:08Speaker 1: To get there.
- 21:11Speaker 2: Let's see dangerous. Yes, you brought Taylor Swift because she
- 21:17Speaker 2: apparently really likes the show as well and this season
- 21:19Speaker 2: really impacted her.
- 21:21Speaker 1: I don't know not.
- 21:23Speaker 2: If I should give you points for that or the
- 21:24Speaker 2: dug points for that.
- 21:27Speaker 1: I think you get a pass.
- 21:28Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you a pass.
- 21:29Speaker 1: Fell on this way, I'll give you a pass, all right.
- 21:32Speaker 2: Did they have brunch?
- 21:33Speaker 1: No?
- 21:34Speaker 2: No, they did not any.
- 21:35Speaker 1: He rolled the dice and incorrectly. Incorrectly.
- 21:42Speaker 2: But yeah, so a lot to be said. We have
- 21:45Speaker 2: a new not Maine. But actually, like reoccurring guests, reoccurring
- 21:50Speaker 2: Star Anthony is now a part of the picture. We're
- 21:53Speaker 2: getting closer to the wedding date. A lot of things
- 21:56Speaker 2: are happening now. We had ax swing break.
- 22:01Speaker 1: We did literally, we did, not just figuratively.
- 22:06Speaker 2: A lot of conversations about testing for HIV and AIDS,
- 22:10Speaker 2: which I think is still important in this conversation. I
- 22:13Speaker 2: don't know. I guess me being privileged to not feel
- 22:17Speaker 2: like I'm used as a scapegoat for those types of illnesses.
- 22:25Speaker 2: I didn't notice until recently about how it's coming back
- 22:29Speaker 2: up as taboo ostracizing people once again and scaring people.
- 22:33Speaker 2: Maybe it has been that way for a while and
- 22:35Speaker 2: I just didn't notice, And I just assumed because that
- 22:40Speaker 2: the rhetoric had kind of quietened since the initial panic
- 22:44Speaker 2: in the nineties and then all of this that it
- 22:48Speaker 2: was the stigma had gotten better or lessened, I guess,
- 22:53Speaker 2: and I don't think. I think we're back to where
- 22:56Speaker 2: we were, because I know I've seen the billboards, which
- 22:58Speaker 2: kind of shocked me, but also bring an awareness that
- 23:01Speaker 2: is still important to test with all the options.
- 23:04Speaker 1: So but I did.
- 23:06Speaker 2: I was like, I remember watching this specific episode with
- 23:10Speaker 2: all of that really like encouraged and felt like it
- 23:13Speaker 2: was such a big moment for this type of television,
- 23:17Speaker 2: this type of show to just normalize that type of
- 23:22Speaker 2: conversation and also not centered around like queer people, which
- 23:27Speaker 2: oftentimes happens because of the stereotypes. So I really think
- 23:30Speaker 2: that was pretty big and like being able to elevate
- 23:34Speaker 2: the importance keeping.
- 23:36Speaker 1: It normalized and.
- 23:38Speaker 2: Destigmatizing doing so like no matter what social you know,
- 23:44Speaker 2: status you have or economic status. So it was it
- 23:48Speaker 2: was a lot.
- 23:48Speaker 1: Yeah, I liked it. I liked how it was. So
- 23:54Speaker 1: you know, with your group of friends, you're like, have
- 23:57Speaker 1: should I get tested? I've never been tested, and they're like, oh, yeah,
- 23:59Speaker 1: I've been tested, said you haven't been tested? Like it
- 24:01Speaker 1: was just so right, nonchalant, just a conversation you have
- 24:04Speaker 1: with your friends, were like, oh no, you should, you
- 24:06Speaker 1: should go do that. It was really I appreciated it,
- 24:11Speaker 1: and I liked that it was very honest about Samantha's
- 24:17Speaker 1: sexual experience. But also, you know, you got Miranda's thinking
- 24:23Speaker 1: about a sandwich.
- 24:24Speaker 2: We got thinking about the sandwich.
- 24:30Speaker 1: Just because she's off of the I mean rightfully so,
- 24:34Speaker 1: but she's off of the like most sexual one. But they,
- 24:39Speaker 1: I mean they all do go out and have these
- 24:46Speaker 1: sexual sex sexcapades. So I liked that, you know, even
- 24:52Speaker 1: though she's sort of the more sexual one openly, they
- 24:58Speaker 1: were all still like, oh no, no, no, you should
- 25:00Speaker 1: I got one, you should go get one. All good?
- 25:04Speaker 1: All good? I think.
- 25:07Speaker 2: Do you have any predictions of what's to come?
- 25:12Speaker 1: Well, mm hmmm. I think she Carrie is going to
- 25:20Speaker 1: try to like do a cold Turkey situation with Big.
- 25:27Speaker 1: I think she's gonna end up. I think it's gonna culminate.
- 25:30Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be like Aiden and Big at
- 25:33Speaker 1: the end. I don't think he's out of the picture yet,
- 25:38Speaker 1: but I think she's gonna I think she's gonna try
- 25:41Speaker 1: to for this season. I know he's not a picture yet,
- 25:44Speaker 1: but for this season. But I think she's gonna try
- 25:47Speaker 1: to like cut him off. Something's gonna happen at Charlotte's
- 25:53Speaker 1: wedding because it's got to be traumatic. I don't know
- 25:57Speaker 1: what it is. It might be good. Something's gonna happen
- 26:00Speaker 1: at her wedding. I don't know when Steve's going to
- 26:04Speaker 1: come back into the picture for Miranda, but I know
- 26:08Speaker 1: he'll be back. And Samantha do her own Samantha thing.
- 26:12Speaker 2: Samantha doing her own Samantha thing. Yeah, sometimes the Samanthas do.
- 26:18Speaker 1: Yes, it's true.
- 26:20Speaker 2: Don't worry about me.
