Speaker 1 (00:12):
So let's talk about Justin Timberlake. I am going into
New York City. I am going to his concert. I
am excited. Let me explain to you there are ten
people in the world that I would get off my ass,
oh my god, and go from the Hamptons by the
beach in the sunshine into New York City to see
a concert. Let me tell you what they would be.
Alicia Keys at the Beacon. I fucked that up and

(00:34):
I missed it a couple of years ago, and I'm
still not over it. Alicia Keys, I would get off
my ass for to see Justin Bieber. I would get
off my ass for to see Pink. I have gotten
off my ass to see And some of these people
are generational, like meaning, I don't know if today I
would go see Elton John or Billy Joel, but there
was a time that I would go Lionel Richie. I
fucked that up too. I didn't go in Atlantic City

(00:57):
or Vegas. I fucked that up. Jayla's a great concert.
I believe I'd have to go see jay Z and
I'd probably go see Beyonce if I had the tickets.
But like not the same as Justin Timberlake. For me
because the dancing and she dances too. This is no
I mean, Beyonce's a queen. There's just something about Justin
Timberlake for me that's like, I know the music and
the dancing, and I think he's so incredibly talented. By

(01:19):
the way, if you've ever seen the mashups he does
with Jimmy Fallon, it's like watching the Muppets buss like
all these heads everywhere and all these instruments, and like,
give the fucking guy his flowers. We can get into
his mistakes, but like, we're gonna give Justin Timberlake his flowers.
That's what we're gonna do. Because he's talented. We cannot
negate in a person's entire career because seven hundred years ago,

(01:41):
when dinosaurs were walking the earth, he did something that
people don't like with Brittany when gene outfits. Okay, I
don't know, it was a thousand years ago, and I'm
not belittling anything, but we are not who we were
twenty years ago. Kim Kardashian is not in a nude
film or doing a sex tape. Today. She's a businesswoman,
and I'm not who I was twenty years ago. Either

(02:04):
like Basta. So justin Timberlake is not whatever he was
with Britney Spears. And by the way, Britney Spears has
made some errors in her life too. I don't listen
to anything about justin Timberlake as it pertains to Britney Spears,
like we are adults. He's talented beyond measure. Okay, now
we get into the Hamptons. Now we get into the
alleged driving under the influence. The bartender said he had

(02:25):
one drink. Now I wasn't with him. I don't know
he was stopped after did he have a drink before?
Maybe for argument's sake, he was at the bar, and
I know he's justin Timberlake. But if he was blackout
drunk with the bartender at the American Hotel has served him,
I don't think so. Those bartenders are very familiar. This
is not like you're at the Marriott in Times Square.

(02:46):
It's a small bar where people know each other. At
the American Hotel bar, a lot of stories have happened there.
They're not gonna serve someone blackout, so we're gonna just
keep eliminating. He took a picture. He didn't look he
looked great. Everyone loved it. But he didn't look sober.
But I have no idea. Was he surfing, Did he
have saltwater in his eyes? I don't know. So now
we have a guy who the only proof is that

(03:08):
he had one drink. He has a mugshot that's brought
sexy back in mugshots. Justin Timberlake has single handedly brought
sexy back in mugshots. Okay, we didn't even know it
was there, but it's there. And in the Hampton's we
do mugshots differently. But he's an entertainer. I'm going to
see it. And let's chalk it up to a possible mistake.
Let's say he drank under the influence, and people are

(03:29):
saying it's a mistake. It's a massive mistake. It's a tragic, grave,
dangerous error. It's a cautionary tale. What I like about
it is no one got hurt, and it's the beginning,
not the end. It's the beginning of the summer. When
people like me who have children who are either going
to be on the road in an uber or driving

(03:50):
or at parties where people are drinking, it really solidifies
for the parents too, the message of drinking and driving,
and people always think it's people that are younger. You know,
it's gonna be teens. In college students they all take
ubers a lot, and it's the adults. And I think
about certain people that I know that I know go
out and have cocktails and get in the car because
the adults think they're invincible, the married couples. When someone

(04:12):
looks middle aged, they don't look like they're gonna get
a driving under the influence. You think of like people
in college, But it really is a lot of times
people my age drink so their tits fall off. Okay,
they're middle aged, they're bored, they're stressed, they have bills,
they have kids, they have responsibilities, they're in the thick
of it. Now, these are the people that drink. I'm

(04:34):
not saying college students don't drink. If you're on TikTok,
everybody wh's twenty two is black out every weekend. I'm
just saying people my age give them a run for
their money. Go to a middle aged party and any
called to sac you're gonna see some fucking swinging, some drinking,
some edibles. You're gonna see some serious shit. So justin

(05:00):
Timberlake is a man who I think he's middle aged,
she's almost middle aged. She's married, he has kids, he's wealthy,
he has responsibilities. But it was a cautionary tale for
people to not not drink and drive, like one one
glass of wine, like that's it and you won't have
your judgment. So if you're planning on going anywhere near alcohol,
you have the plan in place with other people, like

(05:21):
a buddy system. You say, it's your wife, your friend,
everybody get organized and you know, yes there's Uber, Yes
they're drivers, Yes they're a taxis. Get a friend, you know.
But I'm saying, you got to have a plan. You
got to have a plan. But it's really easy to
get Lyft and Uber. It's so easy. And nobody has
any right to have a drink if they don't have

(05:42):
a plan for how they're going to get home. Now,
a designated driver, a taxi number, a train, a bus.
I don't care, walking, I don't care. But drinking and
driving you could kill somebody else, ruin your life, ruin
their life. The whole thing is just a bad disaster.
And the first thing that happens this is a one
And I am a woman who invented the skinny margarita

(06:04):
and has a wine called Forever Young. You drink and
you lose your judgment. So drinking is a wonderful thing
when in moderation, when social, When it becomes something that
is dangerous, I'm against it. So you're gonna drink and
you're gonna lose your judgment and you're not gonna make
good decisions about what the fuck to do next. You

(06:24):
have to have a plan before you have any alcohol whatsoever.
It will impair your judgment. So I'm going to see
justin Timberlake. I'm excited for the concert. You know. I'm
happy this happened and no one got hurt because everybody's
more on alert and hopefully it will save lives and
people will be safer. So it doesn't matter about the gossip.

(06:44):
It doesn't matter about right now for me in my life,
what happened or what didn't happen. What matters is mine, yours,
and my daughter's safety. That's what I think about. Let
to the pasters, to the after, Let to the after,

Are You A Charlotte?

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