Speaker 1 (00:01):
Get your hit us together and we're going to start
to party. Start part I'm reading a party, the Elvis
Duran After Party.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Here it is, it's the after Party Podcast. We got
a full house today. There's Froggy Froggy's here? Are you
here for the podcast?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
I am that.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Scottie Bee and they're scary, And there's Gandhi and Danielle
and of course straight Nate and I think is producer
Sam around two the way? Okay, on the way, Well,
let's get going. Hey, I got Michael calling in with
an interesting question from Michael. Hey, Michael, welcome to the show.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Hey, how are you?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
We're doing well. You asked a very very interesting, thought
provoking question on the text. Do you wish to repeat
that for everyone?
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Yeah? So, I know you guys talk about shows all
the time and you love your shows. So I was
wondering if there was a TV show or a series
that you could watch or experience against the first time,
what would it be?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Oh wow, wow, Now what made you think of this?
Do you have one in mind? Personally?
Speaker 4 (01:07):
For me, personally, one of my top ones is The
Stranger Things, just the whole franchise, and it was a
very unique type of show and something that we've never
seen before, and it was just it's one of the
only shows. So I'd never really rewatched shows before. I
was never that type of person. But when I watched
(01:30):
Stranger Things, I had now rewatched it four times and
I'm about to rewatch it again before the new season
comes out. So it's it just for some reason, it
just hit differently, and it was just, you know, it
was just a really incredible show. It was one of
those shows that everyone was talking about at the time.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
You need to go see the Broadway show. Have you
seen that?
Speaker 4 (01:54):
I have not. I really want to.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
Yeah, you have to see that, all.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Right, So you got just thinking about this. We've been,
we've been, uh simmering was this I'm gonna tell you
right now, West Wing. I would see again, Downton Abbey.
I would love to see from Sopranos. I'd love to
see you again.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
Ye see mine is Ozark.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Oh wow, okay, started over, Yeah, okay. You have a
couple of others you said wow.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
Yeah, and True Blood, which I don't know if any
of you ever watched True Blood, but True Blood was
like my I I love that show so much that
I saved the series finale, and I wouldn't watch it
for a months and months and months because I didn't
want it to be done.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I have to add the Crown to that, by the way,
I love the Crown. You're gonna add something, Michael.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Yeah, I mean I had, I had other shows. Dexter
was like a really great show, absolutely, and then it's
like comedy is like The Office and Ship's Creek were
really incredible to that when I sorry, when I watched it,
I didn't even finish it because I didn't want it
to end.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
See I do the same thing, Michael, I'm afraid to.
It's like when you when you buy a lottery ticket,
you don't want to look at it even after they
put the numbers out, because until you've looked at it,
you still have the possibility of winning a couple of
million dollars some hope. Yeah, you create the same What
would I do exactly? So that last show? Yeah, you
want to It's like, Okay, I gotta finally watch it,
(03:25):
and then you know you're done. It's very sad. What
about you, condy Okay.
Speaker 6 (03:28):
So definitely the Sopranos that I still rewatch it because
I catch stuff all the time. And it's such a
good show. The Office in thirty Rock, duh, but probably
Game of Thrones that was. That was pretty fascinating too,
And I have gone back and rewatched it, but it's
totally different than watching for the first time. And I've
changed my thoughts on how bad people thought the ending was.
(03:49):
I don't think it's as bad anymore. Huh yeah, first
time I was really yeah, No.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Why do you think you've changed your tune on that?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Well?
Speaker 6 (03:57):
I think so I binged the show. I was not
one of the people who watched it week to week,
so I didn't have that same, like years long build up,
and I think binging it makes a totally different experience.
Like when you binge it, the end doesn't seem nearly
as bad like Sopranos.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Did you hate the ending because so many people did?
Speaker 6 (04:17):
No, Okay, I loved it.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I love the ending. I love how they loved it
hanging like that.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
And I don't I don't want to ruin anything for
people who haven't watched Game of Thrones, but the whole point,
like people thought they really rushed that last season, and
I thought it was kind of perfect, like the way
that it ended.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Okay, you should let them know because no one else
said anything nice about it.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
I have a friend who doesn't want to talk to
me because I think this right now scary.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I would ask you what show you'd like to see again?
But you haven't watched TV since nineteen seventy nine. No,
I don't watching you watch Sesame Street was the last
thing he watched.
Speaker 7 (04:48):
I mean, aside from some comedies that I would like
to go back and relive, like Carb your Enthusiasm and stuff,
but you know that those aren't like drama. I would
have to go with Sopranos and you know what section
the City. Sex and the City's one that I don't
remember some of those beginning episodes. I might have joined
season two or three, but I watched that show religiously
when you know, and uh yeah, and the same thing
(05:10):
with the Sopranos, and.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Maybe Sex in the City. Sex and the City is
so it's dated. They were so of the of the time.
You watch it now, you're like, does this still pan true?
I don't know. That's why interesting.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
There was an episode of Sex and the City where
Carrie accidentally gets a Brazilian and they're like, oh, I
can't believe if somebody would do that. Oh my god.
And now I'm like, that's all that anybody ever heard of?
Speaker 8 (05:31):
I know.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
My answer maybe the wire. Oh speaking of Brazilians, we
gotta hurry of an appointment. Okay, what about you straight ining?
Speaker 9 (05:39):
Okay, you mentioned a lot Sopranos, phenomenal show, but breaking bad.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Oh yeah what I never saw that absolutely except for
that one, that one episode. The whole rest of the
thing is great.
Speaker 9 (05:53):
But you look at you know, I think a lot
of series they really don't have an ending in mind.
This just feels like an epic that was planned every
step of the way. And there's still I've rewatched it,
I think twice, and there's still episodes where I'm watching
it and my heart's racing even though I know it's
gonna happen. But the way they made it and shot it,
(06:15):
it's just so well done.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
We do think every show has like the one episode
that like was the crappy one. It's like they needed
an extra episode, so like that was the fly Like
remember Ted last O the pants episode that was stupid?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Yeah, exactly, say they's got a fill time, Okay, just
a whole hour about nothing. Our special guest Froggy is here, Froggy,
do you have any you know what?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
I for the longest time, only because my dad was
watching it. I tried to watch Lost, but it made
me so mad and I couldn't follow along that it
confused me. I felt stupid, you got Lost watching looks
I'm not watching this anymore, so I don't know how
it ended. So to me, Lost is still has not ended,
but it made me angry. I would watch the show.
(07:01):
It was weird. I would get excited. I'd be like, yeah,
I'm gon watch Lost tonight, and I would talk to
my dad about it, and then in the middle of
the show, I'd be so freaking mad. I'm like, well,
why do I do this to myself? It was like
watching a sporting event my team plays bad.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I look back at Lost. I loved that show. I
thought it was great. And they're working stress Like, you're
totally stressed out, but it's okay. I was expecting to
be stress. I don't need a TV show to do
it right. Michael, I'm loving this question you asked us
because it's it's kind of hitting home with everyone listening
as well. I'm sure what about you, Producer, Sam.
Speaker 10 (07:34):
I'm jumping on the bandwagon. Sopranos was amazing, and I
only got to watch that for the first time like
a year ago, so that was an awesome gift. But
I really enjoyed Barry.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I don't I don't know if anyone else is d
Barry is.
Speaker 10 (07:47):
So good and it was such a great combination of
a dark comedy, which I feel like and generally is
kind of hard to do. So I really enjoyed Barry,
and I think it ended exactly when and how it
should have, which is something a lot of shows don't
really do anymore.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Well, I'm getting more and more shows flooding into my head.
The ones I want to see again for the first time. Hey,
you know he's gonna have a weird answer. Is Scotty
Bee or Seventh Heaven Show? I did love Full House.
Speaker 8 (08:20):
I just like Mary Kay and Ashley good Times. Yeah, No,
I mean I was going to say Chips, but you
know that's that's obvious.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
No.
Speaker 8 (08:27):
Scary actually mentioned the one I was thinking of. Curb
Your Enthusiasm is Always is always still my go to,
like if I'm on an airplane or have nothing to
watch somewhere. I've seen that series a thousand times. I
mean just you know, the crude humor, and it reminds
me of my dad a lot. And it's just I
don't know, That's just a show that I like comedy.
I I don't watch really any dramas or anything. Would
(08:47):
you Scotty be Yeah, or even Seinfeld? You know, I
loved so I was not a friend's guy. I was
a huge Seinfeld guy. So I would watch that over
and over and over.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Well gosh, so many Oh yeah.
Speaker 9 (09:00):
I mean.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
To Gandhi's point, when sometimes when you bring to these shows,
they just like feel differently because you're experiencing them as
a whole versus like when you're watching them week to week.
It's like it's a very different experience watching the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I missed that.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
Not everything does it like that, Like certain streaming services
you have to wait week to week, but like I
miss like wanting to find out what would happen and
you're being so excited that, oh my gosh, Friday is coming,
my show is going to be on. I can't wait
to find out what happens. Like it's just so like
it just they just give it to you so easily.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Now, well you know, but but for instance, I'm loving
Mobland right now, and it's it comes out once a week.
You can't reallyvenge it, not yet anyway. So that was
an excellent question, Michael. Thank you so much for bringing
that into us.
Speaker 10 (09:48):
Question Michael, Michael.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Thank you.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
