our Sex in the City. What, Samantha, do you know
when the last time we did this was? Because I
looked it up.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Was it the beginning of last year?

Speaker 1 (00:37):
It was February twenty fifth of last year.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
I thought so.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Yes, And this was a fantastic episode because we did
it with a listener I'm going to say, a good
friend of the show now Jasmine, who was fantastic, A
fantastic guest. So good. Yes, and it was a really
fun one. The episode was fun. It was escaped from
New York. But because we're about to restart it, I

(01:04):
was like, I don't even remember. I've got to go
back myself. Yeah, so I thought it might be good
for listeners to get prepared to get ready. Yes, so
please enjoy this classic episode. Hey, this is Annie and Samantha.

(01:26):
Welcome to stuff I Never told your production of iHeartRadio.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
Ed. Welcome to another edition of us watching Sex in
the City. Yes, this is my fiftieth time, while this
is Annie's first time.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
And today it is the day we finally have done
what we have been saying we are doing.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
We are with a friend of the show, slash listener
who actually decided to suffer with us and watch with us.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Jasmine. Welcome, Jasmine, Hi, thank you so much for having me.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
All Right, I'm gonna give a minute or a second,
or however long you need. Can you introduce yourself to
the other listeners?

Speaker 4 (02:17):
Sure? My name is Jasmine. I also go by Jay.

Speaker 5 (02:21):
I've been living in New York for almost twenty years,
and I do write, and I'm hoping to write for
a living type of thing.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
I love it.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
Yes, that means you are a writer, point blank, there's
no caveats to that. And now we have more friends
in New York. So when we come again, we can
hang with you. Right, Can we be friends in real life?

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Course? Yeah, of course, I'd be so excited.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
And yes, we are back, and we are actually going
to sit down to watch another episode of Sex and
the City. We are, you know, slowly catching up with
all that, Jasmine. Can you tell us your level of
Sex and the City knowledge and or maybe not all
the things?

Speaker 4 (03:04):
Okay? Sure?

Speaker 5 (03:05):
So I did not start watching the show until after
it aired.

Speaker 4 (03:11):
I remember back in the day.

Speaker 5 (03:12):
My grandmother had like TV guide and I remember seeing
like Sex and the City and I was like.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
Ooh dirty.

Speaker 5 (03:20):
And then when I went to college, I saw one
episode of Sex and the City and I won't say
which one it was, but it kind of solidified my
choice of living in New York. And then I moved
to New York and didn't really watch the show. I
kind of caught the reruns on the CW, and then

(03:41):
I caught reruns on E They had like a Ladies
Who Lunch, Ladies Who Lunch marathon, and then it wasn't
until a couple of years later I actually decided I said, hey,
I have HBO.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
Let me watch the show from the beginning to the end.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Oh.

Speaker 5 (03:58):
Also, for some reason, I watched season six before because
like the library had the DVDs of season six and
only season six, and then I watched both of the movies,
So I watched season six and the movies before I
watched the whole thing. So I didn't actually start watching
the show until in this entirety, until twenty seventeen. And

(04:21):
then I was like, oh, this is great, especially because
like on regular TV, they censor so much stuff. And
I was like oh, okay, I see And then.

Speaker 4 (04:33):
And then I got on to Reddit and just I.

Speaker 5 (04:37):
Was like, oh, I found my people were just just
talking about the show and things like that.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
And then.

Speaker 5 (04:44):
Last year I discovered this woman actually had a sub
stack where she answers all of Carrie's questions in her
column and it's very popular. Unfortunately, she doesn't write very often,
and so I thought, oh, let me, let me do
the same thing, but like from the perspective of a

(05:04):
black woman, and so I have a substack without sex
and city. I'm trying to have it come out like
once a week to be like more consistent. I'd actually
just finished. I just published one like this morning. I'm
only like four episodes in and so it's like, this
is going to be very exciting because there's there's so
many episodes, and then there's the movies and then there's

(05:26):
the reboot. Yeah, so I have a lot of material.

Speaker 4 (05:28):
To work with.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
Oh I love that so so much. I love that
perspective so much. So we are definitely calling you the
resident expert for some fie never told you, because I
knew this as a hobby and you are answering the
questions that well.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
It needs no answers. Do we ever really get an
answer from Carrie?

Speaker 3 (05:48):
No, she just leaves it from the air and a
lot of like lingering, like why would you do this
to yourself Carrie type of movement.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yes, right, all right, Well with that.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
I did need to ask this because I didn't send
you a quiz I should have. I'm really ill prepared.
I've come ill prepared. But which character would you say
you would be most like in Sexificity?

Speaker 1 (06:10):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Man, I know I had to pop up on you
in that one. Sorry, Sorry, I.

Speaker 4 (06:15):
Just it's so funny.

Speaker 5 (06:16):
I just answered that question on the subriddit yesterday, but
I kind of answered all four.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
I feel like I'm.

Speaker 5 (06:30):
Most like Samantha in the sense of Samantha doesn't really
care too much about gender roles, and she she sees something,
and she goes after what she wants, and she's not
afraid about going after and she's not ashamed of it,
even if what she's after is a married man. You know,

(06:52):
she's she's not afraid of taking risks. And I feel
like the older I get, the more I'm very much
like Yeah, if I see some thing like more so
pertaining to like career goals, and things like that.

Speaker 4 (07:05):
I'm not like afraid of going after it.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
Ah, love that, love that so very much. Well, we
are very glad to have you on. And as tradition
for a happy hour, first and foremost, if anybody is partaking,
please do so responsibly. All the things we're talking about
are not current sponsors. Things can change, who knows. But

(07:28):
with that, I have to ask, ladies, Annie, are you
slipping on anything right now?

Speaker 1 (07:33):
Yes? It's Galentine's Day as we record this.

Speaker 4 (07:37):
Oh yeah, oh yes, so I have.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
My red wine. Yes coming.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
I love this.

Speaker 4 (07:46):
Valentine's Day, the beginning of.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
Our friendship, Jay is Gallantine's Day. We're putting this as
a big marker. Okay, this is going to be our
friend aniversary too. What about you, Jay?

Speaker 2 (07:57):
What do you drink it? Can I call you?

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Jay?

Speaker 2 (07:58):
I just realized you we said a lot of people do.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
I just immediately did it without permission, So I apologize.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
Jay is fine.

Speaker 5 (08:04):
I'm currently sipping on a traditional medicinal throat coat.

Speaker 4 (08:09):
It's like tea. Yeah, yes, I was like, ye, yes, yeah.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
You're so more professional than us. Typically I drink that
with the satrone. I've really really started digging, digging, Satrone
with the throat coat. It's nice at it just just
a you know, Asian tip on that one. But for myself,
I'm just drinking some bubbly water because once again I
am also a responsible, not sleepy individual, because wine makes

(08:41):
me sleepy. Now, all that the drinks may measly be
except for apparently water. And with that, Annie, I'm gonna
give you the chance. Can you give us a review
of what has happened in season three thus far?

Speaker 1 (08:54):
This is so much easier than the last because we
literally just recorded this like two days ago. So this
has been a whole season where Carrie is with what
it seems like a healthy relationship with Aiden, but is
back with her ex Big who is married to Natasha,

(09:17):
and so she's cheating on Aiden. Pushed Natasha down the stairs,
kind of accidentally sent her to the hospital and now
I'm The most recent episode revealed what she had done
to Aiden at one of her best friend's weddings, and
he is like, I am done. So that's where we

(09:39):
are with her. Charlotte said, best friend just got married
to Trey after learning that maybe sexually they might not
be compatible. We'll see she did get married. Miranda broke
up with Steve, who it sounded like they were happy

(10:00):
to get there, but it didn't work out. And then
in the most recent episode, she realized that a lot
of men didn't want to date her because she's like
a powerful lawyer, I guess, and they felt intimidated by it.
And then, as I always say, Samantha was doing hers

(10:21):
the kind of she has like a one off in
every episode She's got something different going on.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
But yes, you also have one more prediction, which is
either a brunch or club?

Speaker 2 (10:33):
Which one is?

Speaker 1 (10:34):
I keep messing this up. I've really lost my game
on this one. I'm going to say. I'm gonna say
club club. Okay, I feel like brunches slit me down
the past few times.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
All Right, all right, I like it. I like it.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
There is the correction. Carrie did not push Natasha. Natasha
was She's not that vindictive, Like there.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
No need to push anybody, shets d.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
I people think that we are like we are advocating
for pushing of the other.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
Don't do this with.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
That, Jay, do you have any ads that you can
think of before before we talk about Annie's predictions?

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Not at the moment, Okay, I like and Annie did
a good job.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
She does really all we did just recently watch the
other episode, so she is a little more familiar and
ready for that part. Okay, Annie, So with this episode title,
are you ready for it? Which is Season three, episode thirteen,
Escape from New York, do you have any predictions?

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (11:40):
Forgot you added the brunch thing already. I was ahead
on that one.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
Yeah, Okay, Like I said in the previous episode, I'm
pretty sure there it's like Charlotte's Honeymoon. They're gonna leave
obviously New York. That's all a movie that I haven't seen.
So I feel like there's probably a reference I could
get if I had seen that movie. Yeah, but I haven't.

(12:13):
So I'm just gonna say, we've got a broken up
Carrie who's like the pieces of her life. We've got
Charlotte's just married. They're going to travel somewhere. That's what
I think. That's it, all right.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
I'm not giving you points for traveling somewhere. That is.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
That is not adding no man with the ports day, No, ma'am,
that does not count, just because I mean, I just.

Speaker 5 (12:43):
I just realized that. I just realized what episode we're
about to watch, and this is literally the first episode
that I ever watched that made me realize that I
am going to move to New York. I won't say
anything else until afterwards.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
Moment.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
I love everything about this moment between the gallons between
you coming on and this is perfect.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
I love it. Yes, well, let's see, let's jump in.

Speaker 6 (13:17):
I decided it was time for a change of scenery
and I wasn't alone.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
I can't believe you're all going to LA.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
Without me.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Immediately brunch and he's already wrong, She's not doing it
well already.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
Have you ever gone on like a breakup trip with somebody?

Speaker 2 (13:38):
I have been the friend.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
I had a friend where I went to a cabin.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
I'm not gonna name her because never mind, but I
used to every breakup we would go somewhere.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
Uh and for a while, I really love those props.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
It's kind of fun.

Speaker 6 (13:58):
Come on, let's get the check and go to Barney's.
I can't possibly go to Los Angeles without another pair
of shoes.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
No, I go to Barney's.

Speaker 6 (14:07):
You can.

Speaker 3 (14:07):
I ask you, when you started watching Sex in the City,
did you start getting more into like the fashion line
or were you already probably they are or just no?

Speaker 4 (14:15):
I am not a fashion person just yet.

Speaker 5 (14:20):
I think it was just more so like growing up,
I was like, I'm either going to move to New
York or I'm going to move to la Oh. I
saw this episode. I said, Yep, it's New York, and
now it's like, maybe maybe the other place.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
Okay, I love those.

Speaker 6 (14:41):
There was supposed to be three reservations.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
The production company only requested two rooms, and I'm afraid
we're all booked up.

Speaker 4 (14:50):
She's from New York.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
My mom definitely believed that. She's like, oh, big girls
all the.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Time, baby I got.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
I was told the other day that they thought I
was from New York and I was like, why because
I have an accent and it's definitely not New York.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
And I was like, is it because I curse a lot?
Maybe because I'm.

Speaker 6 (15:09):
Carc a lot?

Speaker 2 (15:12):
I am tie?

Speaker 5 (15:15):
So what do you do when you're not working as
a one man welcome wagon?

Speaker 4 (15:19):
Madildamot, You wouldn't tease a girl word in the US?
Number one in Canada, My BIG's bigger. I gotta love
that metric system.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
A lot of these jokes went over my head with
that metric system.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
And I was in college, so it shouldn't have.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
I am tie.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
So big news. I have a star interest in Guess who.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Drew Barrymore?

Speaker 6 (15:57):
No, yes, I'm really not good with the celebrity names.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Oh guess.

Speaker 5 (16:02):
I do this a lot where I just just just
badger people into guessing.

Speaker 4 (16:07):
One time it went around for like two hours.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
They never guessed.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
They Matthew mcconey.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
So we have Matthew McConaughey. So this was when she
when the Sarah Jusica Parker and Matthe McConaughey had a movie.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
Oh Failure to Launch.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yes, and they are coming out together.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
Ah, how I knew that. My brain was like somewhere.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
I can't remember.

Speaker 3 (16:35):
So this is our guesting game where I remember vague
details and Annie tries to get the actual names right
as she usually does, and I'm just like, yeah, that's it.

Speaker 6 (16:50):
When visiting La, there are two things you simply must do.
One is right a fabulous car. Two is learn how
to drive it.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
You said you drive a stick I did a couple
of times.

Speaker 6 (17:02):
And parking.

Speaker 5 (17:03):
Another reason why I've decided to move to New York.
I've been spoiled by the public transit system.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
Yeah it's nice, Yes, it's a nice Like every time
we go, I'm like, why can't.

Speaker 5 (17:15):
We Yeah, it's hard for me to imagine living other
places because I'm like, I'm going to have to drive,
like I haven't driven a car since two thousand and
eight and outside of New York.

Speaker 4 (17:27):
When they asked me why, I'm like, because I live
in New York, I.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
Don't need to drive right, and parking is expensive, very extensive.

Speaker 3 (17:34):
Also, don't rental stick shift if you don't know how
to drive it. Well.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
One time I was in France and uh, we rented
not a stick shift and they're like, oh, we have
a stick shift. And I was like, but that's not
what we rented and they're like, too bad. So guess what.
We get stuck on a hill. Everyone's mad at us
and we're like, we did it.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
Screaming stupid Americans As I'm driving by.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
You, very nice lady got out and helped us all
she was wonderful. If you're listening, I know you're not,
but thank you saved this.

Speaker 3 (18:16):
How do we get your column to translate to the
silver screen?

Speaker 4 (18:20):
And I think I've got the answer.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
Now, what if we flush out essential relationship?

Speaker 4 (18:27):
M This is also one of my favorite scenes.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
I like his stance.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
Everything about this is so like over the top.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
Yes, it feels like they were like Matthew McConaughey play
Matthew McConaughey.

Speaker 3 (18:39):
And exactly that's exactly what you did in Hollywood too,
Like it has to be very specific.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
I mean, he is such a great guy.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
I mean, I don't know anybody any cooler than mister
big guy.

Speaker 4 (18:50):
The only question really is what the is Carry's.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
Problem carries obviously obviously to care I don't.

Speaker 6 (19:01):
I don't particularly think it was it was just her
problem because well, I actually he had some you know,
commitment issues.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
I started crying. I think I'm not stable for this
yelling at me.

Speaker 5 (19:20):
I love that line so much. I say it more
times than I care to admit.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
Yelling.

Speaker 4 (19:29):
Yes, I love my substitute for my.

Speaker 7 (19:31):
Name in cit of Carry, though, but that's amazing.

Speaker 6 (19:49):
I can't believe how open and high I have sexist
places in New York.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
Sex is so bottom shelf paperbacks, exactly, it's all hidden
like me.

Speaker 3 (19:58):
Okay, definitely a party. I think you're gonna have to
add party to your predictions, either a brunch party or club.
And party cann be like police parties because they do
a lot of book release or debut stuff.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
I feel like I just say party like every time.
But we'll see, I'll workshop it.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
You do that, you do that? Who cares a more vacation?
I want to get laid. I admire when you could
just put it. I'm on vacation. I want to get late.
I've too many I've seen too many movies.

Speaker 3 (20:30):
You get kidnapped or at least drugs get planted on
you or something when you do stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
I've seen those movies.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
That would be a dark take of Sex and the Cities.
But don't go. I have to go.

Speaker 6 (20:48):
They flew me out here and they're a little writer monkey. Well,
I've got something to make you feel better.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Oh, guild.

Speaker 4 (21:00):
One for each?

Speaker 2 (21:01):
Why just why?

Speaker 1 (21:04):
I do have a good friend who gave me a
dildo for a birthday once, and I was like, wow.

Speaker 3 (21:10):
That freaks me out, Like sure, sure, sure, like vibrators
and all the such you do you the ones they
were just had, like the rabbit, you know, the infamous rabbit.
Thanks to Sex and City being huge, But like that,
that's too much. I don't need I don't need a
replica replica.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Yeah, that's true, that's true.

Speaker 6 (21:34):
Meanwhile, back in New York and still no closer to
being input by Trey, Charlotte addressed thank you notes.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
Oh the sands licking up the stamps. That's a long time.
They still exist, the stamps that you have to lick.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
Yes, oh yes, I didn't know that. Mm hmm. I
mailed my mom a Valentine's Day card and you.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
Had to lick a stamp. I have the one that's
already pretty sticky.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
See that's nice.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
I think, Eddie, you've bought something.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
Like ancients work. They'll never get to my mom.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
I'm thoroughly confused where you got things? Now?

Speaker 1 (22:12):
They were in my stack of stamps.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
I don't know how long have you had them, because
even in booklets there pretty sticky. Yeah, scoo, I'm not wrong, right, okay.

Speaker 6 (22:29):
And far away, Charlotte was dealing with Trey's soft side
as well. She decided she was going to get some answers,
so she came to bed armed with love.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
Oh I forgot the scene. I forgot the scene.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
She wrapped his penis.

Speaker 6 (22:50):
She went to sleep, hoping her mail had sufficient postage
to deliver his package into her box.

Speaker 3 (22:55):
With lickable stamps with stams, you have to lick for
that one.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
Weirder that doesn't that doesn't make sense.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
To everyone the way I just let that.

Speaker 6 (23:13):
We weren't sure if it was the California climate or
the five lone star beer she drank.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
But as soon as she got on that bowl, Miranda escaped.

Speaker 6 (23:21):
Miranda.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
I had a friend, and this is going to sound
really weird, but she had one of these in her home.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
Didn't wait, I was already Did you say she had
one in her home? She purchased one for her home.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
No, it was this is when I was young, so
she was a kid. It wasn't her that had it,
but her family had one in her home.

Speaker 3 (23:45):
I mean, you are from like North Georgia, so that's true, not.

Speaker 4 (23:50):
Not terribly out of context.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
Okay, So any you did get the club, we're gonna
give you. Jasmine's giving you the club, so we're gonna
we're gonna give you that. You're not getting points for
the leaving New York bits.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
I feel like the escape theme where I where I
stumbled was they were all trying to escape something.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
Yes, specific specific, I will give you a bee. I
will give you a B plus for this one.

Speaker 3 (24:35):
Yes, yes, uh you did.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
You did pretty well.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
Of course you were not going to find anything about
there's no way to know that there's gonna be a
whole dildo porn industry conversation here, so.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
You know all that you did because you also said
that it was her.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
Leaving the behind situation with Aiden and Big, so that
that was that was big ups, Jasmin.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
Would you agree with mys scoring or would you change that?

Speaker 4 (25:02):
I think I would go with that. I would go
with that.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
All right, you have the official council giving you the
be plus counsel.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (25:14):
This was the one episode you said that really cemented
that you wanted to move to New York.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
What was it about this episode?

Speaker 5 (25:20):
I think it was because I grew up thinking like, oh,
New York is very serious and LA is very like superficial,
and I feel like this this episode kind of reinforced that,
especially like the coming episodes kind of like reinforce that,
and so I said, oh, without going to either place,

(25:41):
I was like, oh, I'm definitely just going.

Speaker 4 (25:42):
To live in New York.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
And you've been there and you love it, I'm assuming
I do.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
I do.

Speaker 4 (25:48):
I not a fan of the cold though.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
Still we talked about this already. I'm like, I don't
like cold, but yeah, I could. I could see that
because it is very different the scene that we see,
the way that people roll, the conversations that Carrie has.
Of course, I could be anywhere in actuality, it could
be here in Atlanta, because you know, right now, Atlanta
has a pretty big film industry, and I feel like

(26:10):
it's who you talk to, especially like we've went into
a lot of like talent ages and such. There's they
talk like that here in Atlanta. I feel like the backstabbing,
the you know, obviously, we also curse a lot.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
Yeah, Samantha specially yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
You're Lauren also curses a lot. She's just cuter about
it until she gets mad.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Oh my gosh. I love it. I think it's great.
It's just shocking because you can't predict it.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
You can't predict her Carson.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
But I love that because New York definitely, like we've
talked about Sex and the City, it is a love
letter to New York with all of the craziness, with
all of the drama.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
It is a love letter.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
Yeah, So as you watch it now versus like in
the past when you've watched it, are there things that
just feels so New York to you when you watch it,
are you like, oh, yeah, okay.

Speaker 5 (27:06):
Yes, I would say, particularly with Carrie, she is not
afraid of exploring New York. And even though a lot
of the places that the show featured like no longer exist,
it's still very like compared to maybe the reboot or

(27:27):
like recent shows. And it might have more to do
with like with COVID than like other things, but you
could the show feels like you're definitely in New York
versus like insert generic other big city. Like it feels
like you are in New York, whether it's like the
hustle and bustle of a bar or a club or
even if they're like outside, it just feels like New York.

(27:51):
And then like especially Carrie feels like she embodies New York.
And so yeah, whenever I kind of like, if I
rewatch the show, oh, there's like certain scenes where it's like, ah,
it's New York and I'm here.

Speaker 4 (28:05):
That's so cool.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
So contributor to the show, Joey they also live in
New York and they've talked about they have just started
watching Sex and the City. So we had them on
to do an episode as a new viewer, so they've
never seen it before and they live in Brooklyn now,
and they were talking about the fact watching it was like,
oh my god, yeah, that is very like even till

(28:30):
to today, two newer viewers, younger viewers, they still relate
to be like, this is so New York in its essence,
and I'm like, I love that because you don't often
see too often see that level of the fact that
a place or a city is a main character as well.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
Yes, and it makes it so much more like enticing.

Speaker 3 (28:56):
There is something that you urges you to go to
New York to have brunch, not necessarily clubbing. I don't
do the clothing part, but the brunch, Hell yeah did
the brunch.

Speaker 4 (29:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (29:06):
We we often talk about how New York is the
fifth character in the show because it's just so prominent
in the show.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
I don't think we have it yet, but soon we
will have. The day that she has a date with
her city, Carrie has a date with our city.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
So good, it's so good, it's so good.

Speaker 3 (29:25):
I love her interaction getting some mots of ballsup like
that's probably one of my favorite interactions in the show.

Speaker 5 (29:31):
I will say one of the locations that she goes to.
One of my friends actually worked there. Oh and I
met him there and I was like, oh my god,
I'm standing in the lobby of the same place.

Speaker 4 (29:46):
That Carrie was. Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (29:50):
See this is why I say you're the expert now
for the show for sure, Like you have stood there
and you know where you're standing, and how big of
a deal because Carrie, Carrie has made like the show
really did push like not only like New York City
has its own thing and like it was always like
big touristy, but there was a level that Carrie that
Sex and the City brought not just the to the

(30:13):
fashion world, but two different places in New York that
really made it, made it a nicon, made it historic.
That Stoop was one of those like we talked about
that earlier and stuff like that, and you were saying
that she has a store very close to the Stoop
Slash where it's her brownstone is supposed to be.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
That's crazy. Coincidentally, nobody believes that.

Speaker 5 (30:40):
Yeah, She's just like, oh, that just happened, and like
the village is like one of the one of the
more expensive neighborhoods, and she's like, oh, that just happened
to be like the cheapest spot in the neighborhood, and
I'm like, Okay.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
There's no way. There's no way, man, there's no way.

Speaker 3 (30:55):
So yes, we also had two of the guests celebrities
we already talked about, Matthew McConaughey and Sarah Michelle Geller
and her both of their like primes.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
Obviously, this was during the time that SEC.

Speaker 3 (31:06):
I think, honestly, was it during this time that Saratisca
Parker was starting to become executive producer and really like
having big roles. Obviously she's a star, but like behind
the scenes roles as well. I think she started taking
that on more and more, and so her movie career
was coming.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
Background at this point.

Speaker 3 (31:27):
I think she did Family Stone around this time too, right,
So a lot of good stuff we have made it.
She and the girls have made it outside of New
York to LA. Obviously a lot of things happening. They're
still currently in La. Annie, do you have predictions of

(31:48):
what you think is coming?

Speaker 1 (31:50):
Well, clearly they go back to New York, so this
whole LA thing doesn't work out.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
She's learned her lessons in many of these.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
I'm trying to get better at it one day. I
think it's gotta have a dramatic season Finaleum, I think
kind of because I know it comes in later seasons
that Big is gonna come back. I don't know. I

(32:23):
don't know if this production is gonna happen at all,
or if it was just a good set piece to
have her question her whole life.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
You're not wrong.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
I mean it was pretty good set piece. That's that's
for sure. She's gonna have to have be Carrie's gonna
have to do a lot of introspection. And I just
feel like Big is gonna come back. But I don't know.
I don't know. I have no good predictions. I have
no good prediction.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
Alright, all right, we won't put you on too much
more on the spot. But yeah, it looks like there's
twenty episodes in the last season that's split into two
and then season before that, so I'm like eight they
had like all over the place over Yeah, it's all
over the place. These like the season two and three
and four were the bigger ones. And then you started
feeling like you started hearing all the drama that was happening,

(33:15):
and I think it started.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
To lose its luster.

Speaker 3 (33:17):
You said you watched the second movie yet, Because I
have not watched the second movie, would you recommend the
second movie as a watch if you.

Speaker 4 (33:26):
Want to hurt yourself, I would say yes.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
Do you like pain, this is the movie for you.

Speaker 5 (33:38):
It's it's it's pretty bad. It's pretty bad. But I
whenever I do a rewatch, I watched it anyway. For continuity, Yeah,
some people are like some people are like, it's stopped
after the first movie. I'm like, no, no season. The
second movie also counts as well. It's not good. It's
not good, but I.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
Still watch Got You. That's that. That is the review
I needed. That was the review I needed.

Speaker 3 (34:05):
We probably will because we love we also have to
do things for continuity, especially Annie. But I feel like
it's one of those things that we need to do
as like to complete it.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
I'm way down the road.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
Yeah. When we first started this, it was ninety it's
ninety four episodes without the new stuff, and then it's
the two movies, and we were like, we're going to
do it. I just think we might. It might be
a long time before we'll see how long.

Speaker 3 (34:35):
We last versus that, but it is good to know
because I'm like, do.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
I need to watch this?

Speaker 3 (34:42):
Ask someone who was a fan and it is a fan,
like do I, But I'm thinking, I wanna, I'm gonna wait,
I'm gonna save that that. Yes, we're gonna save that
to and do you have other trivia that you want
to share with us?

Speaker 2 (35:00):
And I don't put you on the spot in that one.

Speaker 5 (35:02):
Oh, here's one the episode where Carrie farted. I think
it was an accident that Sarah disca Parker like crashed
into the door or something.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
Like that, just running away.

Speaker 4 (35:19):
Yeah, and I think she legitimately like hurt herself.

Speaker 5 (35:21):
But they were like just that whole scene and like
big like act like big laughing and stuff.

Speaker 4 (35:27):
They just they kept it in.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
Oh my god, that's amazing. That makes it so much better.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
Yeah, that's that's the good stuff. It makes it fun
and it's really fun to watch it as someone who's
never seen it before. But I love like old school technology.
That's fine. But also I feel like I always noticed
the geeky stuff in the background that Samantha's like, what
and I'm like, there's our two D two back there. Well,
that's the poster of Godzilla over there.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
A rock thing was there an r D two in
this one? Would you?

Speaker 1 (36:03):
There was no, not in this one, but there was
in the Timmy Timothy Olephant when there was an arch
Ty two.

Speaker 3 (36:08):
Oh yeah yeah you did remember, yeah, yeah, of course,
because there was twenty something the old men all living
in a very small part.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
They didn't have toilet paper at one point.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
Yeah. Oh man, it's true. You go on these dates
sometimes and they're like, my shower doesn't work. Here's happened
to me.

Speaker 5 (36:31):
I remember I was in my twenties, but I think
the guy was in his thirties, which makes it worse.
I I think I had taken a shower or something,
and I think the tub flooded or something. And I said, hey,
do you have a mom or something and he goes, oh,
just use the towel. And I was like, do you

(36:52):
have any other towels and he's like, no, he has.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
One towel, just one towel, and you were using the toewel. Oh.

Speaker 5 (37:01):
And what makes it worse is I believe he was
like a celebrity fitness trainer.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
You know, that's sad.

Speaker 3 (37:10):
Maybe they just don't get paid enough. That's one of
those things. They're like this is not worth it. This
is not worth it.

Speaker 2 (37:16):
Dude, go eat your cookies. Go away from them celebrities.
They're not gonna pay you. That's hilarious.

Speaker 3 (37:26):
Hold Jasmine, I have to ask what advice would you
give Annie as a newbie Sex and the City watcher
for the future episodes.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
I know that's a very vague question.

Speaker 3 (37:38):
But like, if do you have any like hold on
to this or just go along for this ride or
any of that.

Speaker 5 (37:44):
I guess I'd say pay attention to the puns in
the show. I feel like they just get as the
series progress, they get more and more ridiculous they do.

Speaker 3 (37:54):
You're right, maybe why I hate puns because they're so
bad that you're like so bad?

Speaker 1 (38:01):
Oh, I can't wait.

Speaker 3 (38:03):
Like thirty Rock did a bad like spoof. But have
you ever seen that thirty Rock episode where she's trying
to be a Sex and the City girl and then
she goes up to these four girls who are absolutely
supposed to be the like the representation of the Sex
and the City girls and the puns they make. She's
like nope, nope, nope, and she runs away from them.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
You have to watch that episode.

Speaker 3 (38:29):
Like some of the things thirty Rock is not one
I recommend necessarily because it doesn't hold up well.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
But something's like that. I was like, yeah, that's about
on boy.

Speaker 1 (38:39):
Okay, I'm excited about this there.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
Yes, Oh, and I guess I need to ask what
without running?

Speaker 1 (38:50):
What?

Speaker 2 (38:51):
What was your favorite episode of Sex and the City?
Do you have one?

Speaker 4 (38:54):
Like a whole time?

Speaker 2 (38:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (38:56):
Yeah, like do you have She's asking the tough question.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
I know it might be before I see her. Are good, Oh.

Speaker 5 (39:05):
Dear, it's I feel like it is a a tie
between what was a show called It was the one
where they were talking about S and M and I
don't know if the episode is called La Delure.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
It's oh yeah, for Agony in Ecstasy.

Speaker 5 (39:21):
I think specifically like that ending. It's a tie between
that and the season season four finale, I believe.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
Okay, I haven't seen that one yet, so yeah.

Speaker 4 (39:36):
I'll just it's it's the it's the song choice, that's
that's what's the.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
Only for me?

Speaker 1 (39:40):
That okay?

Speaker 2 (39:42):
And then the final question, Team Maiden or Team Big.

Speaker 5 (39:47):
Oh no, I disliked them both for separate reasons.

Speaker 2 (39:57):
That's a new tack. I like this, but I.

Speaker 5 (39:59):
Will say if I have to choose it's it's oh man,
I'm team big over teaming.

Speaker 4 (40:06):
But if I have to choose, either would you be
like Steve or oh no, I'm anti Steve. I'm anti Steve.

Speaker 8 (40:18):
You have some big takes, all right, this conversation wow here, yes, yes,
Oh my gosh, well clearly.

Speaker 1 (40:28):
Uh, people need to check out your substance. Get these
hot takes. I would love to have you back maybe

Speaker 3 (40:39):
Finally, Oh yeah, do you want to come back over season?

Speaker 4 (40:44):
I would love that.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
All all right, keep that in mind.

Speaker 1 (40:48):
It could be a hot minute because we're slow things.

Betrayal Season 5

Betrayal Season 5

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
