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

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

Monster: BTK
'Monster: BTK', the newest installment in the 'Monster' franchise, reveals the true story of the Wichita, Kansas serial killer who murdered at least 10 people between 1974 and 1991. Known by the moniker, BTK – Bind Torture Kill, his notoriety was bolstered by the taunting letters he sent to police, and the chilling phone calls he made to media outlets. BTK's identity was finally revealed in 2005 to the shock of his family, his community, and the world. He was the serial killer next door. From Tenderfoot TV & iHeartPodcasts, this is 'Monster: BTK'.
