Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hi, I'm Kristen Davis, and I want to know are
you a Charlotte? Okay, can we talk about David Eigenberg
for a second, because this is the first episode we
see him incredible from even the first episode, which I
had not remembered at all.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
The man that myth the viagra is when Steve shows
up in the second season. Oh yes, I didn't remember
that at all.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
And you get right away that, uh that Miranda has
been really hurt I.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Know, yeah, her pain and her anger.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Why is she being so mad? Uh, she's really been
hurt before.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Oh, most definitely.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
One let down her guard.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Absolutely so adorable, I mean so adorable.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
You know, and he's like, you know, just so like
hopeful and it's so sweet.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
I know, it is it really I was really amazed.
I don't really remember like him coming and I don't
remember I don't know if we knew that he was
going to turn out to be like this incredible relationship
for her, but he comes on so vividly immediately, you know,
(01:26):
he's immediately so amazing and the way that he is
with her because she does really have the wall going
like big time, but it is really obvious once they
kind of get into it.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
She's so vulnerable, so quickly vulnerable.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
It could I think I cried the first time because
it was so relatable and that, you know, once you've
been so hurt and you just want to protect yourself.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
And the way that she did that, you know, when
she saw it was like when mister Big.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Comes Yeah, and she was like she really.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Never expected that. In her mind, he was just another
man that was gonna.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Let you know, yeah, yeah, it.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Was so like the revelation that came across her face
was so I don't know, sweet, you understood. And then
the way she ran out after him and grated the.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Rain, it's so red. It's so.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
And that's a classic, classic.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yes, so classic, and I had not remembered any of it.
That's the joy of rewatching is that sometimes I'm just
getting to be a fan, you know, I love it.
But let's get into one thing that happens before that,
which I had also forgotten and I was kind of
shocked by. So so Yes, Miranda, when we start, we're
talking about the myths of relationships, and so there's a
really interesting we don't have our coffee shop set built right,
(03:03):
so we're out in a restaurant in the world talking
about I'm saying a friend of my friend was having
an unfair with this guy who is married, and then
the guy left her her friend friend and actually married
the girl and now they're happy with two kids and
he's a great husband. And they're all like, no, that's
an urban myth. That didn't happen, and I'm like.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
No, we did.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
This is my friend and my friend and they're like, no,
that's you don't even know her, you know. And then
I love that because there are so many kind of
tropes that we have in our mind of like, well,
this could happen, or that could happen. I heard of
it once, you know, like that. And of course Charlotte
is the one who believes in it, but Marie's like, no,
you know, she's really adamant. And then they show her
(03:45):
going on a date to the comedy club. I don't
know if you remember this part.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Oh my god, I hated that comedian.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Right, the comedian and the dude knock right, oh, and
her date got what he deserves totally.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
So let's just remind everybody what happens, because it is
also really interesting this particular week in the culture of
now having a kind of interesting thing similar to this.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
So Miranda's at this very.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Small comedy club, the comedy seller I don't know, but
there's like no one there, and there's a very obnoxious,
like kind of alpha male comedian up there telling just
like I don't know, they're bad, not funny, mean jokes.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
And she's sitting with this.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Guy and we hear Carrie voiceover and I feel like
he's a lawyer.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Investment baker or something like that, and he said either.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
They're kind of bonding over the fact that the comedy
is so bad, so this guy seems like he might
be okay. And then he says, you know, I'm gonna
go get up and go to the to the men's
room and the phone, he leaves his phone on the table,
the phone starts ringing in this obnoxious comedian is like, hey, Red,
you know, answer your phone. And she's like, oh god,
(04:54):
they're looking at me. She's like, it's not my phone,
and he says answer the phone. He's like really aggressive.
So she p up the phone and she says Alan
Miller's phone and she says, I'm his date.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Who is this?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
And then you just see her face kind of go blank,
and then the comedian is like, what's going on and
comes up, grabs the phone exactly grabs that phone and
finds out that it is the date's wife on the
phone and basically outs Samantha and the man for being
on the date. Not unlike the cold place situation living
(05:27):
through right now. And so then the guy comes back
from the bathroom and walks into this drama of his
personal life being you know, a mess, and I believe
he picks up the phone and says, hi, honey, like a.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Fool, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
And then Miranda leaves.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Of course, so it's like we already know from the
past show that Miranda has kind of been through it,
and then this particular thing is like just salting the
wound that all men are awful and that she hates
them all, at which point she meets Eigenberg.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
But I was struck.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
By the fact that, you know, the cheating thing, it
just goes on and on and on, and it doesn't
seem to change.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
What's wrong with people. Maybe we shouldn't get married. I
don't know, you.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Know, Yeah, it's I don't know, you know. I always
say I have I have my mom and dad as
proof that it is possible. You know, they were so
great together. Their love could light up a room and
(06:33):
they yeah, they never had like a sip of wine.
If they were, you know, separated from each other without
at least reaching their fingers across to each other and
touching them. You know, it's amazing if they couldn't kiss
each other. And so it is possible. But I don't know.
(06:54):
It just seems in this world today that there's so
much temptation or not enough, uh, not enough. What's the
word I'm looking for, Like a guy with a strong character,
(07:15):
fiber like.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Honor, honor, that's good word.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Yeah, that's what it is. Yeah, you know, honorable men
are becoming a rarity. I mean I don't like to
think that, but look at politics for instance.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yeah, let's not, let's not, let's not, but.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Of which there was a guy, Oh my god, I
almost fell off my bed, which.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Got a bigger EU and then the as did.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
To get it one show.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I know, I know, I mean honestly, I know in
my mind that we have had a history with Trump on.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Our show, but I tend to block it out right and.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Then all of a sudden, there he is, and you're
just like, it's so strange.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
It's just so strange.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Who would have ever thought that this man would then
be the person it's fascinating, But we don't.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Really have to go there because it's brief.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
It's a brief thing, and he was very much a
fixture of New York, So in that way it makes sense.
I think, yes, I think that culturally it seems that
(08:32):
that men are confused, you know, younger men seem confused.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
About who they're supposed to be, right, and that's sad.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I feel like that's sad, and I'm hoping that we're
going to kind of come out the other side of
that at some point. But I also want to mention,
especially in the coldplay situation, there's also a married woman
involved there, right, So like, to me, it makes me wonder, like,
are we is marriage like an outmoded construction that we
have created, Which is not to say that there can't
(09:02):
be happy ones obviously, you know, but in the world
that we're living in today, where everyone's so like trying
so hard to do so many things, and there's probably
a lack of connection in so many ways, right, and
maybe hard to keep that connection going. I'm no expert
by any means, but like it takes so much work,
(09:22):
you know, to keep to keep a connection, to like
take care of that connection.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Yeah, you could get married for like, well, we'll see
if we want to renew it in five years. I
like that, you know, every five years you go, do
you want to renew right honesty?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Like honesty that.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Way if you don't, you know, if you're getting bored
or whatever, you can get out of it right out.
All the lawyers.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
And the right you know, drama.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
All right, that stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Yeah, yeah, and so much pain. I feel so.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Bad for you know, women and men really, you know,
like when because I do feel like society sets you
up to think like Charlotte. You know, Charlotte is obviously
so marriage focused and I'm not, but she was, and
so I really tried to channel that because we are
brought up to believe that that's what will bring us happiness. Yes,
(10:23):
that's what we should do, and that that will make
us happy. And one of the things I love so
much about Charlotte's whole journey was that obviously when we
meet her, she's like that, she just starts like that.
You know that she was brought up in Connecticut and
she wants to have these things, and she wants to
be a mother and all the beautiful things. And then
she tries and tries and tries and tries and tries.
(10:44):
Eventually she meets Trey and it looks perfect, but then
it isn't, which was great. And then of course we
know she meets Harry doesn't look what she wants it
to look, but it is the connection that she wants,
and thank goodness, thank goodness worked out over time and
they raised the children together, and I think they're a
wonderful partnership. But I also think that, you know, Charlotte
(11:08):
is like number one, a very hard worker, right, Like
she's going to work at that thing. You know, she's
like super hyper focused on that thing. And luckily Harry
is just like a great, great guy who you know, supports.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Her along with this those along.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Yes, and I feel like that's one thing and yeah,
like he's me. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Like it's an interesting dynamic. And of course they're fictional,
which I have to remember, but it's interesting to think
about the things that make it work. And I feel
like some of it is luck in terms of where
you are in your life when you choose. Yeah, And
then I also think a lot of it is like
the amount of work that you and the other person
(11:52):
have to put in because it can't just be one
person doing the work. Yes, and I feel like that's
sometimes off.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Yes, yes, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
I don't know why I went down this road, but
it was, I mean partly because watching the scene with
the comedy the guy, the awful mean comedian, it really
I was like, this is so much like this Coldplay business.
I was amazed. And it's almost thirty years ago, you know,
it's interesting to me.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
The memes for the cold Play thing are hilarious.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I mean beyond beyond. I feel bad for those people.
Those are real people.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
The name from that show is totally, totally, totally all right,
Let's go back to Eiginberg for a second, because I
do also because here we are, She's Miranda, has been
through so much, as.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
We know, and she's at a bar of a restaurant
waiting for Carrie, who stands her up because Big wants
to make her dinner.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Oh that hurt me watching that.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
I mean, on the one hand, yes, Big is on
like a different level of charming in this episode, you know,
so I get that part. But I also feel like Carrie,
that's not cool. You shouldn't stand Miranda up.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
But I do think that she was on a bit
of a She's just been called his girlfriend, which means
everything to her. Yes, So she's like I can understand,
you know.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Oh, I can understand, yes, But I also don't think
it's cool.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
No, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (13:26):
And I feel like, I feel like the interesting thing
with Carrie is like she doesn't she's got odd boundaries,
you know what I mean, Like they come and go
kind of you know what I mean. So and she
kind of puts up with a bunch of frustrations from
Big but then he sings to her in a restaurant
cltures his girlfriend. Of course she's beaming, and it is
(13:47):
so charming. Yes, and the chemistry is so intense between them,
but yet she is still holding in so much and
she does have all these hopes, and you know, it's
that thing where, of course, the second where she's like,
will you go.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
To dinner with my girl friends?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
And he's like yeah, I'm like, oh, he said that
too quick, and you're waiting for the other shoot to drop,
of course, and it does happen.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
It does happen.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
But one of the things I love about this particular
episode and one of the things I've been rediscovering watching
the show is the relationship between Miranda and Carrie and
kind of the ongoing arc of it and how.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
They are.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
So deeply attached, but also they have the most kind
of open conflict of any of us, you know, like
Miranda will disagree and tell her like you're wrong, you're
messed up.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
But also that's who she will go to.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
You know, for you know, to lean on, and who
Carrie will go to Miranda to lean on.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
It's so interesting.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
And they have one of their walking talks, which always
are one of my more favorite things. But also Samantha.
Samantha and Carrie have a walk and talk which I
love so much because it's on I think they're on
Central Park. They might be on Park Avenue. Wait no,
they're on Fifth Avenue and they're walking down so it's like,
you know, the trees are blue, it's so beautiful, like
the spring in New York, you know, just so the
(15:05):
best time ever, my favorite time. And they're walking and
talking about the older man, and you know, Carrie is like,
do you have any age limit?
Speaker 2 (15:15):
She's like, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
You know, it's all very interesting, and I don't know
if we would do that same scene now, it seems
like it might might not be cool.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I think things changed have
changed a lot since then. Yeah, and I think it
is more sort of frowned on. But I don't know.
I think that there's still a lot of that going on.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
So true, you know, so true, so true.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
I mean it's interesting because I feel like we I
do think that that was supposed to be the comedic storyline,
right because we do kind of have drama happening with
Miranda and drama happening with Carrie, and so then.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Also I have my story language we haven't even mentioned.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
You are so romantic like you your notions are just
cannot be crushed. Cannot you cannot be so true. You
are going to believe in love. It's if it's the
last thing you do.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
It's true, Christie.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Convince everybody else that if you just believe in love
it and it's going to happen out and it will happen.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I know, and look, I mean part of me, I
don't think that's wrong.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
I think it's true.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I do too, But sometimes when I'm watching Charlotte myself. Whatever,
I am thinking like I'm worried for her, you know,
but maybe that's because I'm me and not her, and
also because I'm at this age rather than that age,
you know what I mean, because it is definitely Yeah,
she's just so open. So let's just talk about the
(17:15):
big thing because I love it so much. You know.
They set it up so beautifully where you know, he's
singing to her and then he makes her dinner and
it is literally her dream, like she is living her
dream that she has wanted from him from this whole
time since she met him. And then she does stam
Miranda up but you know, you can't understand, as you said,
(17:36):
you can get why. And then she asked him, when
you come to dinner with my girlfriends? And he says yes.
You see her walking down the hall in this incredible dress.
I mean it's like, you know, just yeah, she looks
just like it blows your mind. And he opens the
door and he's not dressed and you're just threshed.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Her face is the disappointment that she registered so perfectly.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
I know, she's so good.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Oh, she just really wanted that. It's so hot to
show him off to her friends so badly, and you
know that was so important to her, I know.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
And then he's not even dressed, and then he says,
I don't want to go because it's going.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
To rain and you've got your friends anyway, right, you
don't need me.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
He doesn't get in at all, and she really so devastated.
But as we will see, he's not as dense as
he seems right that moment, thank god. But then she
goes to the restaurant and this also kind of kills me.
We're all there and she can't tell us that he's
not coming. She doesn't want to tell us, so she says,
(18:46):
she says something like, I don't know, he's still at work.
So she's trying to like prepare and say the.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Word she's said. The disappointment was too great. She couldn't
she couldn't say it out loud. It was something she
was hoping that maybe it would just sort of fizzle
the whole thing, like, well, now I gotta leave, I
gotta you know.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Go, and right, it just really makes me address it.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Oh god, it really makes me said, yeah, it makes
it so much better when when it because and so yes,
Charlotte is there like so hopeful and you know, everything's great,
and poor Steve is like bringing them all drinks, I know,
and Miranda's all mad because now she thinks BIG's not coming,
and yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Saying that thing about you know, Oh, I guess I
just slept with too many bartenders and he was like, Okay,
here's some money and I'm out of here.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Yeah, it's rough.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
She's hard on him. She's always hard on.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Him, I know, and now we know where it all ends,
so it kind of hurts even more somehow, you know.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
I mean, I know.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
They've had good times and of course when they go out,
so wait, let's not jump ahead.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
We'll go there in a second. So we're there.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Charlotte, of course super like puppy dog, doesn't have any
vibes that anything's bad, you know.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
What I mean, so obviously looking at Steve, like why
are you being so mean to him?
Speaker 3 (20:20):
You know?
Speaker 1 (20:22):
And then everyone's sitting there and Carrie's like, you know,
trying to figure out how she's gonna break it to us,
the BIG's not coming. I think we hear in her
voice over where she says, I couldn't. I didn't have
the heart to tell them. You know, so I pretended
I didn't know or whatever, at which point we go
into slow mo, which is so fantastic, and and I say,
there he is. I say, of course he's gonna come.
(20:43):
And there he is, and everyone turns, and as you said,
Cynthia plays it just so beautifully because it means as
much to her in a way as it does to
carry that there is.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Hope, there is.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Yeah good, Yes, so good, both of them so good.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
It's such a great episode that I had no memory of, right.
And then so we have this.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Incredible slow moment moment of big Is coming down the
stairs towards us. Miranda is having this epiphany that maybe
things could possibly work out. Carrie is having an epiphany
that maybe her dreams are not crushed again, you know,
maybe they can can live and exist, right, maybe he
can step up to the plate. And then Miranda very
(21:34):
smartly says I'll be right back and goes out into
the pouring rain. It's a very cinematic moment. I think
it's one of our kind of earliest cinematic moments.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Right because this is only season two.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
And they kiss in the rain, and when they kiss
in the rain, all I could think of was them
kissing on the Brooklyn Bridge in the movie, Do you
remember that? Yes, such a great through line, you know,
to see like the little details. Yes, it's beautiful, it's beautiful.
(22:07):
And Eigenberg is just so great.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Oh he is. He's his vulnerability is always right there. Yes,
so he's so he's such a great actor, and he
really is. But you never think of him as an actor.
He just like a.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Seamless yes, yes, And I mean I think in some
ways I took him from granted because I didn't really
have an objective viewpoint of of like just his incredible
work and I mean writing.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Also just so beautiful, yes, yeah, so good.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
And and he just has a way of getting in
between her different walls that she's erecting as they're going,
you know what I'm saying. She's just so busy trying
to block him, and he's just finding funny, charm arming, funny, charming, smart,
you know, different ways to get in there, and oh
my gosh, you just love him so much, so much.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
I'm just so happy. It makes me so happy that
they wrote him.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
You know, I'm like reexperiencing these things that I took
for granted.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Over time, you know.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
And also he's just the opposite a big in so
many ways.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Yes, but it works. Yes, he's he is vulnerable, he
is approachable, he is you know, giving, constantly thinking, she's thoughtful.
He's always what she might need, what's how he can help,
(23:41):
how he can make her happy?
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Right, But he's not a doormat in any way.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
That's what is so amazing, right, Like, it's not easy
to write that kind of male character and not easy
to play it either, But like he has such a
strong core.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Oh yeah, Like whatisode when he did ask for something
for himself. He was always giving for her. And one
episode he asked her, Oh my god, he asked her
to watch him play basketball. Oh yeah, and she didn't
show up, you know, And then and then he says it.
(24:22):
And then at the end of that episode, it wasn't
in this episode. But he's out there and she does
show up. He remember, he was he had to hit
the hoop. He was going to win like a million
dollars or something.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Oh my god, let that.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
One shot in and and sure enough she was there.
He didn't get it, but he didn't care anymore because she.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Can't to him.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Oh my gosh, I can't wait to rewatch that one.
I only vaguely remember it, but I mean it's incredible,
it's incredible future. Yes, and just I mean I think
a lot of that is the test of to the writing.
You know, that we can still all this time later
have such a strong like relationship to these characters and
(25:08):
emotional reaction. Yes, it's just it's a beautiful thing and
I'm just so lucky to be a part of it.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Yes, I mean, yeah, we're we're the lucky ones that
you've all you know, done these these this show for
so many years that have kept us all entertained and
talking and thinking and uh, you know you can really
(25:38):
discuss every episode like this and and delve in and
it's still topical. Some some episodes we go, wow, that
is has aged, you know, like of course, yeah, but
it's interesting that yes, yes, where we were and where.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
We are absolutely oh good, you know, and absolutely.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Where really the recipients of the you know, the gift.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
So I think we all are I mean, we love
doing it, as you know, we love it so much
and I mean, you know, we love each other so much.
So it's it's an amazing creative, you know situation to
be able to be in and the gift of the
fact that the inception of the show and the writing
and the execution of the show have you know, withstood
(26:29):
the test of time is a gift to us as well.
And that's that's from the fans, you know. And and
now I kind of get to be both rewatching it,
which is really really fun. Let me ask you your question,
should I read your book or should I listen to
your book?
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Oh? Well, I've gotten really great feedback on the book.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
I kind of wanted to listen, you know, during.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
The you know, when you write a book and then
when you go okay, it's done, then it goes to lawyers,
and the lawyers have to change certain things and uh,
and you reread and the people that correct grammar or whatever,
and then you reread it and you go, no, I
said it grammatically incorrect like that. Just stress keep it,
(27:16):
you put it back, or you change, you know, and
it goes through a couple of things. Well, I didn't
read my third pass. The third pass arrived and Alexis
fiance picked it up and he he was my first reader. Wow,
he got so engrossed picking it up because he knew
(27:39):
it was like probably the last pass and uh and
so I said, oh, you read it and I and
I just figured it wasn't going to happen. And I
said to the to my publishers, did you change a lot? No,
it's tiny little things. So I said, okay, now I
go to do the audiobook and there were a couple
(28:02):
of things that I needed to correct. So I call
them publishers. I said, so what do I do? And
she said, correct them.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Just say it the way you want it, you know, okay.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Where you want it, and in the second pressing, you know,
if we ever have a second pressing, then we'll do
it your way. We took notes, so it's slightly I mean, it's.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Tiny things what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
I'm a stickler for tiny things, because somebody happens to
know that that tiny thing wasn't exact, you know, like
there was a thing that said I had done Barbara
Walters Show, and then I went to present it at
the Academy Awards. Wow, and they made it look like
it was all in the same day, but it was
(28:48):
actually the Barbara Walters Academy Award Night special was on TV.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
That day, of course, you know, among yes, right.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
And then I was in LA for the awards, so
it was one big long day. So I but if
somebody happened to know, then they write, what are the
other facts? Not factual?
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Absolutely, and it's your life. You can correct it.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
And also I do this thing. I'm not even aware,
but like if I'm talking like Billy, then I kind
of have like a voice like Billy. I sort of
get like a a thing going on, you know, and go.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
Or if it's like, you know, a police officer at
one point in New York City, I have, you know,
a police officer king because they thought I robbed, so
there was a there's voices.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Oh, I'm definitely listening.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Amazing, Christy, you're such a good imitator.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Oh my gosh, that's excellent. I'm going to listen to
your version.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Yeah, I enjoy it. It depends on what if you
drive a lot or whatever, you might like the audio.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Yeah, yeah, I do.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Like to curl up with a good book, like the book.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Absolutely, they're both great. And congratulations. Absolutely, I'm so happy
for you.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Oh, thank you
Hi, I'm Kristen Davis, and I want to know are
you a Charlotte? Okay, can we talk about David Eigenberg
for a second, because this is the first episode we
see him incredible from even the first episode, which I
had not remembered at all.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
The man that myth the viagra is when Steve shows
up in the second season. Oh yes, I didn't remember
that at all.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
And you get right away that, uh that Miranda has
been really hurt I.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Know, yeah, her pain and her anger.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Why is she being so mad? Uh, she's really been
hurt before.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Oh, most definitely.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
One let down her guard.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Absolutely so adorable, I mean so adorable.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
You know, and he's like, you know, just so like
hopeful and it's so sweet.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
I know, it is it really I was really amazed.
I don't really remember like him coming and I don't
remember I don't know if we knew that he was
going to turn out to be like this incredible relationship
for her, but he comes on so vividly immediately, you know,
(01:26):
he's immediately so amazing and the way that he is
with her because she does really have the wall going
like big time, but it is really obvious once they
kind of get into it.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
She's so vulnerable, so quickly vulnerable.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
It could I think I cried the first time because
it was so relatable and that, you know, once you've
been so hurt and you just want to protect yourself.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
And the way that she did that, you know, when
she saw it was like when mister Big.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Comes Yeah, and she was like she really.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Never expected that. In her mind, he was just another
man that was gonna.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Let you know, yeah, yeah, it.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Was so like the revelation that came across her face
was so I don't know, sweet, you understood. And then
the way she ran out after him and grated the.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Rain, it's so red. It's so.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
And that's a classic, classic.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yes, so classic, and I had not remembered any of it.
That's the joy of rewatching is that sometimes I'm just
getting to be a fan, you know, I love it.
But let's get into one thing that happens before that,
which I had also forgotten and I was kind of
shocked by. So so Yes, Miranda, when we start, we're
talking about the myths of relationships, and so there's a
really interesting we don't have our coffee shop set built right,
(03:03):
so we're out in a restaurant in the world talking
about I'm saying a friend of my friend was having
an unfair with this guy who is married, and then
the guy left her her friend friend and actually married
the girl and now they're happy with two kids and
he's a great husband. And they're all like, no, that's
an urban myth. That didn't happen, and I'm like.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
No, we did.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
This is my friend and my friend and they're like, no,
that's you don't even know her, you know. And then
I love that because there are so many kind of
tropes that we have in our mind of like, well,
this could happen, or that could happen. I heard of
it once, you know, like that. And of course Charlotte
is the one who believes in it, but Marie's like, no,
you know, she's really adamant. And then they show her
(03:45):
going on a date to the comedy club. I don't
know if you remember this part.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Oh my god, I hated that comedian.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Right, the comedian and the dude knock right, oh, and
her date got what he deserves totally.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
So let's just remind everybody what happens, because it is
also really interesting this particular week in the culture of
now having a kind of interesting thing similar to this.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
So Miranda's at this very.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Small comedy club, the comedy seller I don't know, but
there's like no one there, and there's a very obnoxious,
like kind of alpha male comedian up there telling just
like I don't know, they're bad, not funny, mean jokes.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
And she's sitting with this.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Guy and we hear Carrie voiceover and I feel like
he's a lawyer.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Investment baker or something like that, and he said either.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
They're kind of bonding over the fact that the comedy
is so bad, so this guy seems like he might
be okay. And then he says, you know, I'm gonna
go get up and go to the to the men's
room and the phone, he leaves his phone on the table,
the phone starts ringing in this obnoxious comedian is like, hey, Red,
you know, answer your phone. And she's like, oh god,
(04:54):
they're looking at me. She's like, it's not my phone,
and he says answer the phone. He's like really aggressive.
So she p up the phone and she says Alan
Miller's phone and she says, I'm his date.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Who is this?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
And then you just see her face kind of go blank,
and then the comedian is like, what's going on and
comes up, grabs the phone exactly grabs that phone and
finds out that it is the date's wife on the
phone and basically outs Samantha and the man for being
on the date. Not unlike the cold place situation living
(05:27):
through right now. And so then the guy comes back
from the bathroom and walks into this drama of his
personal life being you know, a mess, and I believe
he picks up the phone and says, hi, honey, like a.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Fool, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
And then Miranda leaves.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Of course, so it's like we already know from the
past show that Miranda has kind of been through it,
and then this particular thing is like just salting the
wound that all men are awful and that she hates
them all, at which point she meets Eigenberg.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
But I was struck.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
By the fact that, you know, the cheating thing, it
just goes on and on and on, and it doesn't
seem to change.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
What's wrong with people. Maybe we shouldn't get married. I
don't know, you.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Know, Yeah, it's I don't know, you know. I always
say I have I have my mom and dad as
proof that it is possible. You know, they were so
great together. Their love could light up a room and
(06:33):
they yeah, they never had like a sip of wine.
If they were, you know, separated from each other without
at least reaching their fingers across to each other and
touching them. You know, it's amazing if they couldn't kiss
each other. And so it is possible. But I don't know.
(06:54):
It just seems in this world today that there's so
much temptation or not enough, uh, not enough. What's the
word I'm looking for, Like a guy with a strong character,
(07:15):
fiber like.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Honor, honor, that's good word.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Yeah, that's what it is. Yeah, you know, honorable men
are becoming a rarity. I mean I don't like to
think that, but look at politics for instance.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yeah, let's not, let's not, let's not, but.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Of which there was a guy, Oh my god, I
almost fell off my bed, which.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Got a bigger EU and then the as did.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
To get it one show.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I know, I know, I mean honestly, I know in
my mind that we have had a history with Trump on.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Our show, but I tend to block it out right and.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Then all of a sudden, there he is, and you're
just like, it's so strange.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
It's just so strange.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Who would have ever thought that this man would then
be the person it's fascinating, But we don't.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Really have to go there because it's brief.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
It's a brief thing, and he was very much a
fixture of New York, So in that way it makes sense.
I think, yes, I think that culturally it seems that
(08:32):
that men are confused, you know, younger men seem confused.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
About who they're supposed to be, right, and that's sad.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I feel like that's sad, and I'm hoping that we're
going to kind of come out the other side of
that at some point. But I also want to mention,
especially in the coldplay situation, there's also a married woman
involved there, right, So like, to me, it makes me wonder, like,
are we is marriage like an outmoded construction that we
have created, Which is not to say that there can't
(09:02):
be happy ones obviously, you know, but in the world
that we're living in today, where everyone's so like trying
so hard to do so many things, and there's probably
a lack of connection in so many ways, right, and
maybe hard to keep that connection going. I'm no expert
by any means, but like it takes so much work,
(09:22):
you know, to keep to keep a connection, to like
take care of that connection.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Yeah, you could get married for like, well, we'll see
if we want to renew it in five years. I
like that, you know, every five years you go, do
you want to renew right honesty?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Like honesty that.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Way if you don't, you know, if you're getting bored
or whatever, you can get out of it right out.
All the lawyers.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
And the right you know, drama.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
All right, that stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Yeah, yeah, and so much pain. I feel so.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Bad for you know, women and men really, you know,
like when because I do feel like society sets you
up to think like Charlotte. You know, Charlotte is obviously
so marriage focused and I'm not, but she was, and
so I really tried to channel that because we are
brought up to believe that that's what will bring us happiness. Yes,
(10:23):
that's what we should do, and that that will make
us happy. And one of the things I love so
much about Charlotte's whole journey was that obviously when we
meet her, she's like that, she just starts like that.
You know that she was brought up in Connecticut and
she wants to have these things, and she wants to
be a mother and all the beautiful things. And then
she tries and tries and tries and tries and tries.
(10:44):
Eventually she meets Trey and it looks perfect, but then
it isn't, which was great. And then of course we
know she meets Harry doesn't look what she wants it
to look, but it is the connection that she wants,
and thank goodness, thank goodness worked out over time and
they raised the children together, and I think they're a
wonderful partnership. But I also think that, you know, Charlotte
(11:08):
is like number one, a very hard worker, right, Like
she's going to work at that thing. You know, she's
like super hyper focused on that thing. And luckily Harry
is just like a great, great guy who you know, supports.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Her along with this those along.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Yes, and I feel like that's one thing and yeah,
like he's me. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Like it's an interesting dynamic. And of course they're fictional,
which I have to remember, but it's interesting to think
about the things that make it work. And I feel
like some of it is luck in terms of where
you are in your life when you choose. Yeah, And
then I also think a lot of it is like
the amount of work that you and the other person
(11:52):
have to put in because it can't just be one
person doing the work. Yes, and I feel like that's
sometimes off.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Yes, yes, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
I don't know why I went down this road, but
it was, I mean partly because watching the scene with
the comedy the guy, the awful mean comedian, it really
I was like, this is so much like this Coldplay business.
I was amazed. And it's almost thirty years ago, you know,
it's interesting to me.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
The memes for the cold Play thing are hilarious.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I mean beyond beyond. I feel bad for those people.
Those are real people.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
The name from that show is totally, totally, totally all right,
Let's go back to Eiginberg for a second, because I
do also because here we are, She's Miranda, has been
through so much, as.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
We know, and she's at a bar of a restaurant
waiting for Carrie, who stands her up because Big wants
to make her dinner.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Oh that hurt me watching that.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
I mean, on the one hand, yes, Big is on
like a different level of charming in this episode, you know,
so I get that part. But I also feel like Carrie,
that's not cool. You shouldn't stand Miranda up.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
But I do think that she was on a bit
of a She's just been called his girlfriend, which means
everything to her. Yes, So she's like I can understand,
you know.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Oh, I can understand, yes, But I also don't think
it's cool.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
No, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (13:26):
And I feel like, I feel like the interesting thing
with Carrie is like she doesn't she's got odd boundaries,
you know what I mean, Like they come and go
kind of you know what I mean. So and she
kind of puts up with a bunch of frustrations from
Big but then he sings to her in a restaurant
cltures his girlfriend. Of course she's beaming, and it is
(13:47):
so charming. Yes, and the chemistry is so intense between them,
but yet she is still holding in so much and
she does have all these hopes, and you know, it's
that thing where, of course, the second where she's like,
will you go.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
To dinner with my girl friends?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
And he's like yeah, I'm like, oh, he said that
too quick, and you're waiting for the other shoot to drop,
of course, and it does happen.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
It does happen.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
But one of the things I love about this particular
episode and one of the things I've been rediscovering watching
the show is the relationship between Miranda and Carrie and
kind of the ongoing arc of it and how.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
They are.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
So deeply attached, but also they have the most kind
of open conflict of any of us, you know, like
Miranda will disagree and tell her like you're wrong, you're
messed up.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
But also that's who she will go to.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
You know, for you know, to lean on, and who
Carrie will go to Miranda to lean on.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
It's so interesting.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
And they have one of their walking talks, which always
are one of my more favorite things. But also Samantha.
Samantha and Carrie have a walk and talk which I
love so much because it's on I think they're on
Central Park. They might be on Park Avenue. Wait no,
they're on Fifth Avenue and they're walking down so it's like,
you know, the trees are blue, it's so beautiful, like
the spring in New York, you know, just so the
(15:05):
best time ever, my favorite time. And they're walking and
talking about the older man, and you know, Carrie is like,
do you have any age limit?
Speaker 2 (15:15):
She's like, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
You know, it's all very interesting, and I don't know
if we would do that same scene now, it seems
like it might might not be cool.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I think things changed have
changed a lot since then. Yeah, and I think it
is more sort of frowned on. But I don't know.
I think that there's still a lot of that going on.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
So true, you know, so true, so true.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
I mean it's interesting because I feel like we I
do think that that was supposed to be the comedic storyline,
right because we do kind of have drama happening with
Miranda and drama happening with Carrie, and so then.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Also I have my story language we haven't even mentioned.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
You are so romantic like you your notions are just
cannot be crushed. Cannot you cannot be so true. You
are going to believe in love. It's if it's the
last thing you do.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
It's true, Christie.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Convince everybody else that if you just believe in love
it and it's going to happen out and it will happen.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I know, and look, I mean part of me, I
don't think that's wrong.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
I think it's true.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I do too, But sometimes when I'm watching Charlotte myself. Whatever,
I am thinking like I'm worried for her, you know,
but maybe that's because I'm me and not her, and
also because I'm at this age rather than that age,
you know what I mean, because it is definitely Yeah,
she's just so open. So let's just talk about the
(17:15):
big thing because I love it so much. You know.
They set it up so beautifully where you know, he's
singing to her and then he makes her dinner and
it is literally her dream, like she is living her
dream that she has wanted from him from this whole
time since she met him. And then she does stam
Miranda up but you know, you can't understand, as you said,
(17:36):
you can get why. And then she asked him, when
you come to dinner with my girlfriends? And he says yes.
You see her walking down the hall in this incredible dress.
I mean it's like, you know, just yeah, she looks
just like it blows your mind. And he opens the
door and he's not dressed and you're just threshed.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Her face is the disappointment that she registered so perfectly.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
I know, she's so good.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Oh, she just really wanted that. It's so hot to
show him off to her friends so badly, and you
know that was so important to her, I know.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
And then he's not even dressed, and then he says,
I don't want to go because it's going.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
To rain and you've got your friends anyway, right, you
don't need me.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
He doesn't get in at all, and she really so devastated.
But as we will see, he's not as dense as
he seems right that moment, thank god. But then she
goes to the restaurant and this also kind of kills me.
We're all there and she can't tell us that he's
not coming. She doesn't want to tell us, so she says,
(18:46):
she says something like, I don't know, he's still at work.
So she's trying to like prepare and say the.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Word she's said. The disappointment was too great. She couldn't
she couldn't say it out loud. It was something she
was hoping that maybe it would just sort of fizzle
the whole thing, like, well, now I gotta leave, I
gotta you know.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Go, and right, it just really makes me address it.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Oh god, it really makes me said, yeah, it makes
it so much better when when it because and so yes,
Charlotte is there like so hopeful and you know, everything's great,
and poor Steve is like bringing them all drinks, I know,
and Miranda's all mad because now she thinks BIG's not coming,
and yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Saying that thing about you know, Oh, I guess I
just slept with too many bartenders and he was like, Okay,
here's some money and I'm out of here.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Yeah, it's rough.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
She's hard on him. She's always hard on.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Him, I know, and now we know where it all ends,
so it kind of hurts even more somehow, you know.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
I mean, I know.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
They've had good times and of course when they go out,
so wait, let's not jump ahead.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
We'll go there in a second. So we're there.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Charlotte, of course super like puppy dog, doesn't have any
vibes that anything's bad, you know.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
What I mean, so obviously looking at Steve, like why
are you being so mean to him?
Speaker 3 (20:20):
You know?
Speaker 1 (20:22):
And then everyone's sitting there and Carrie's like, you know,
trying to figure out how she's gonna break it to us,
the BIG's not coming. I think we hear in her
voice over where she says, I couldn't. I didn't have
the heart to tell them. You know, so I pretended
I didn't know or whatever, at which point we go
into slow mo, which is so fantastic, and and I say,
there he is. I say, of course he's gonna come.
(20:43):
And there he is, and everyone turns, and as you said,
Cynthia plays it just so beautifully because it means as
much to her in a way as it does to
carry that there is.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Hope, there is.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Yeah good, Yes, so good, both of them so good.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
It's such a great episode that I had no memory of, right.
And then so we have this.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Incredible slow moment moment of big Is coming down the
stairs towards us. Miranda is having this epiphany that maybe
things could possibly work out. Carrie is having an epiphany
that maybe her dreams are not crushed again, you know,
maybe they can can live and exist, right, maybe he
can step up to the plate. And then Miranda very
(21:34):
smartly says I'll be right back and goes out into
the pouring rain. It's a very cinematic moment. I think
it's one of our kind of earliest cinematic moments.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Right because this is only season two.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
And they kiss in the rain, and when they kiss
in the rain, all I could think of was them
kissing on the Brooklyn Bridge in the movie, Do you
remember that? Yes, such a great through line, you know,
to see like the little details. Yes, it's beautiful, it's beautiful.
(22:07):
And Eigenberg is just so great.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Oh he is. He's his vulnerability is always right there. Yes,
so he's so he's such a great actor, and he
really is. But you never think of him as an actor.
He just like a.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Seamless yes, yes, And I mean I think in some
ways I took him from granted because I didn't really
have an objective viewpoint of of like just his incredible
work and I mean writing.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Also just so beautiful, yes, yeah, so good.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
And and he just has a way of getting in
between her different walls that she's erecting as they're going,
you know what I'm saying. She's just so busy trying
to block him, and he's just finding funny, charm arming, funny, charming, smart,
you know, different ways to get in there, and oh
my gosh, you just love him so much, so much.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
I'm just so happy. It makes me so happy that
they wrote him.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
You know, I'm like reexperiencing these things that I took
for granted.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Over time, you know.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
And also he's just the opposite a big in so
many ways.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Yes, but it works. Yes, he's he is vulnerable, he
is approachable, he is you know, giving, constantly thinking, she's thoughtful.
He's always what she might need, what's how he can help,
(23:41):
how he can make her happy?
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Right, But he's not a doormat in any way.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
That's what is so amazing, right, Like, it's not easy
to write that kind of male character and not easy
to play it either, But like he has such a
strong core.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Oh yeah, Like whatisode when he did ask for something
for himself. He was always giving for her. And one
episode he asked her, Oh my god, he asked her
to watch him play basketball. Oh yeah, and she didn't
show up, you know, And then and then he says it.
(24:22):
And then at the end of that episode, it wasn't
in this episode. But he's out there and she does
show up. He remember, he was he had to hit
the hoop. He was going to win like a million
dollars or something.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Oh my god, let that.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
One shot in and and sure enough she was there.
He didn't get it, but he didn't care anymore because she.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Can't to him.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Oh my gosh, I can't wait to rewatch that one.
I only vaguely remember it, but I mean it's incredible,
it's incredible future. Yes, and just I mean I think
a lot of that is the test of to the writing.
You know, that we can still all this time later
have such a strong like relationship to these characters and
(25:08):
emotional reaction. Yes, it's just it's a beautiful thing and
I'm just so lucky to be a part of it.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Yes, I mean, yeah, we're we're the lucky ones that
you've all you know, done these these this show for
so many years that have kept us all entertained and
talking and thinking and uh, you know you can really
(25:38):
discuss every episode like this and and delve in and
it's still topical. Some some episodes we go, wow, that
is has aged, you know, like of course, yeah, but
it's interesting that yes, yes, where we were and where.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
We are absolutely oh good, you know, and absolutely.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Where really the recipients of the you know, the gift.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
So I think we all are I mean, we love
doing it, as you know, we love it so much
and I mean, you know, we love each other so much.
So it's it's an amazing creative, you know situation to
be able to be in and the gift of the
fact that the inception of the show and the writing
and the execution of the show have you know, withstood
(26:29):
the test of time is a gift to us as well.
And that's that's from the fans, you know. And and
now I kind of get to be both rewatching it,
which is really really fun. Let me ask you your question,
should I read your book or should I listen to
your book?
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Oh? Well, I've gotten really great feedback on the book.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
I kind of wanted to listen, you know, during.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
The you know, when you write a book and then
when you go okay, it's done, then it goes to lawyers,
and the lawyers have to change certain things and uh,
and you reread and the people that correct grammar or whatever,
and then you reread it and you go, no, I
said it grammatically incorrect like that. Just stress keep it,
(27:16):
you put it back, or you change, you know, and
it goes through a couple of things. Well, I didn't
read my third pass. The third pass arrived and Alexis
fiance picked it up and he he was my first reader. Wow,
he got so engrossed picking it up because he knew
(27:39):
it was like probably the last pass and uh and
so I said, oh, you read it and I and
I just figured it wasn't going to happen. And I
said to the to my publishers, did you change a lot? No,
it's tiny little things. So I said, okay, now I
go to do the audiobook and there were a couple
(28:02):
of things that I needed to correct. So I call
them publishers. I said, so what do I do? And
she said, correct them.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Just say it the way you want it, you know, okay.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Where you want it, and in the second pressing, you know,
if we ever have a second pressing, then we'll do
it your way. We took notes, so it's slightly I mean, it's.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Tiny things what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
I'm a stickler for tiny things, because somebody happens to
know that that tiny thing wasn't exact, you know, like
there was a thing that said I had done Barbara
Walters Show, and then I went to present it at
the Academy Awards. Wow, and they made it look like
it was all in the same day, but it was
(28:48):
actually the Barbara Walters Academy Award Night special was on TV.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
That day, of course, you know, among yes, right.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
And then I was in LA for the awards, so
it was one big long day. So I but if
somebody happened to know, then they write, what are the
other facts? Not factual?
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Absolutely, and it's your life. You can correct it.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
And also I do this thing. I'm not even aware,
but like if I'm talking like Billy, then I kind
of have like a voice like Billy. I sort of
get like a a thing going on, you know, and go.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
Or if it's like, you know, a police officer at
one point in New York City, I have, you know,
a police officer king because they thought I robbed, so
there was a there's voices.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Oh, I'm definitely listening.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Amazing, Christy, you're such a good imitator.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Oh my gosh, that's excellent. I'm going to listen to
your version.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Yeah, I enjoy it. It depends on what if you
drive a lot or whatever, you might like the audio.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Yeah, yeah, I do.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Like to curl up with a good book, like the book.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Absolutely, they're both great. And congratulations. Absolutely, I'm so happy
for you.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Oh, thank you
