with that. I will I will put my face on
any part of my cat. It's it's horrible.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
I'm with you on that.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
So we have talked about this. I can't wait for
the day. You don't know who Jesse Waters is. No,
he is a host on Fox News. This is all
coming full circle. She knows why I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
This, Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
I can't wait for the day when he calls us
out out and he says like the cruelest, meanest shit
and how like we have sex with our cats? Is
those are the only beings we have sex with. Oh
my god, He's coming for every little fucking flaw. I mean,
I will, I will feel so overjoyed.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Yeah, so validated, so validated, Like that's when we'll know
we made it.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
That's the only we all have made it. Like he's
gonna be talking about how fucking drier pussies are and
how we're in love with our other pussies.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Like too much work, Like you're too much work. Have
your opinions, buddy.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
But if he's going and I think he's had too
much work, actually much on his face.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
He don't even know what he looks like.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
He looks like like Florida fucked Philadelphia.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
That's what his.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
Face looks like. He looks like a guy that absolutely
like growing up, would have made fun of me for
having freckles. Like that's like he feels like that.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
He's like a bully. Yeah, I hate the bully.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
That's like not that interesting, like a very simple ten bully,
like there's nothing, there's nothing like.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
One track, one track kind of mind.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Yeah, okay, And then you have a Fox News host.
I mean, are we surprised, no, I But like Jesse Waters,
we welcome you. Just ship all over us. We know,
to take a big, large ship all over this Frendy.
Wendy has left the buildings.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
But in the background, as I'm saying it, I don't
even finish the set, and she's like, oh.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
My god, like kill air traffic control. I'm out, Wow,
we will touch an area related to that.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
She she'll lose it.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
It's a cancel. We're canceled.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
We hold in her mind.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Lately, I've been unfollowing anything that just doesn't make me happy.
I love that, which that would mean, like Jesse Waters.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Well should we should we drop in? Yeah, welcome to
the rage Pod. I'm here with Tara Erickson. I'm here
with Evar and this is where we rage against the serene.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
And everything in between.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
Well, another don't I have on that note is I
hate when people are like, well, you know, if you
had a problem with that, you should have said something.
You should have set a boundary. And it's like, I
get it. We all need, like if we're codependant or
if we are too nice, we need. But like so
the people that are just being assholes out there crossing
boundaries like they have no responsibility whatsoever. They're just like,

(04:36):
oh yeah, they all get a free pass to just
be a dick. But you have to carry all of
the burden of making it a fair and balanced relationship.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Right, because you're saying, don't put all that pressure on you,
right when pretend I'm the asshole coming at you. I'm like,
I just shouldn't be an asshole enough for you to
have to send set a boundary.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
And I'm not saying that I shouldn't set a boundary.
I'm just saying, like, why isn't it like both things?

Speaker 2 (05:00):
I get it, Yeah, don't cross the freaking line.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yeah, Like I think I used the word onus and
you were very upset that I had used the word
onus when.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
I really did. What is this? Are we in college
and you're trying to test me?

Speaker 3 (05:12):
Are we in the seventeenth century? I love like onus
was the one that set you off.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
It set me off. Sugar word, I mean it sounds
like anus.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
It's not my favorite. Like I could have just the burden.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
We could, Yeah, the burden, It's just burden. Why are
we doing the onus thing? Are we part of the
organ trail?

Speaker 4 (05:32):
How does that even correlate?

Speaker 2 (05:34):
It's just it's old.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
My assumption the word came out nineteen eighteen.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Whether oh this wagon.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
Iss and the onus and the squirrels and the boots.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
The whole thing is an onus. Our life is an onus.
Use it in a sentence, huh huh, I.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
Got you, Goregon onus trail. Yeah, we want to like
just kind of go through some yeah that we're mad.
I'm mad like instead of like I'm not mad at it,
I am mad at it.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
I am mad at it.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
I'm mad at it. I know something you've talked a
lot about, which we've all talked a lot about the.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Beauty standards that will push me over the edge.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
When like men can literally look like deserted little raisin all.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
People they can go a man can go full walnut totally,
and they just they're like charming, They're mature totally.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
They're they're they're the silver Fox. I don't know, they
got it all. All the stuff is happening, and everybody
you like hot guy that like settled down totally, And
if the girl goes doesn't get work done and decides
to age what everyone says you should do, Greens molly
age naturally, and then everyone is like, damn, you look

(06:52):
like you know, there's a headstone.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
You look old, you look like shit.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
There's a headstone with her name on it.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
All totally already.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
I mean, like seriously, especially or in LA, like you're
a dinosaur when you turn thirty. It's not like you
can't work. But I'm just saying, like that's the joke
that we make.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
But Sharah loves dinosaurs. Ironically, I do.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
I love them. They're the best. But the beauty standards
is over. I'm sure it's all over the world where
it's just.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
Like everyone wants women to age gracefully, but if they
get work.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Done, it's not a cool thing. Oh wow, you got
work done.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
But if they didn't get work done, you would be
looking at them saying like you.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
Should take better care of yourself and your skin.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
Like I dontraculously, you should just age well. Like we
feel like you're cheating if you get work done, or
if you get injunctions or you right, anything that helps
delay the aging process. But then you're completely demonized if
you look a day over thirty. Agreed, Yeah, it's it's crazy.
It's the same thing when it's the same thing with

(07:50):
like HRT, right, with like hormone replacements. Yes, so often
it's like, well, women shouldn't be using hormone. We don't know.
It could be dang based on like a study of
five people like seventy years yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
From nineteen seventy four.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
And but at the same so you should just suffer.
We don't want you, but we also don't want to
hear about like how shitty you feel as you, you know,
go through perimenopause and menopause.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah, keep it zipped. Yeah, keep it old lady, your
old hag. Don't talk to me about your Perry meno pods.
Get out.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
It's ironic that men's in the word m.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
You're on the pause old men. Wow, take a pause
on men?

Speaker 1 (08:32):
Huh maybe that's like when do women like actually take
a pause on men when it is perry meno pause
because it's like not feeling it.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Yeah, you're taking a pause on men.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
Let us know if you're going through perimenopause or a
menopause and how you feel about men.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
We want to know, Dell, is the real truth? All right? Next,
now you've got a crater.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
So yeah, what else did we are we mad at it?

Speaker 2 (09:07):
For well?

Speaker 3 (09:08):
Road rage for sure, so much. There's so much. It
is crazy how when somebody like cuts me off or
does something that is fucked up on the road, and
like my first instinct is to ride their bumper like
I want to. I don't, I don't do what that,
but like I want to sew bad Like what is

(09:30):
that insane? Like rage of like is it just the
injustice of that moment is so high that I'm like,
I'm gonna make.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
You feel so shitty for what you did, make them suffer.
It's called vengeance.

Speaker 5 (09:42):
I am.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
I argue you don't break too quick because I will
slam into your.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
Killed my wife. And I am Mel Gibson in any movie.

Speaker 1 (09:50):

Way a better reference sucks.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
I just Mel Gibson's always like seeking revenge and is
so angry about it and there's always like this like
angry hero walk. But then at the same time, I
feel like I'm not as road rageye as like my
partner who like it is insane. Yeah, and like I'm
constantly I've.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
Been in the car with you and You're like, man, man.

Well because I'm like, guess, guess. What doesn't fucking matter
is how messed up that guy was driving? If we're shot, Like, no.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
Way, what has been doing that? You think the guy
would shoot you?

Speaker 3 (10:31):
You'll like yell at people through the windshield. I've heard
of a story where like a man's wife was shot
in the passenger Yeah, because of just an altercation over.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
Okay, he's yelling at them through his own windshield. Are
they actually making icons and seeing him yell yes?

Speaker 3 (10:49):
Oh god, yes, got it. This one was shot in
the fucking shoulder. This guy took out like I don't know,
I assume it was a shotgun. But then I'm also
picturing like a Western and it's like on Kolenga in
La oh boy, And of course like she's the one
that gets shot. Yeah, she's the one that gets shot.
And they pulled over into the gas station right there

(11:10):
on Kolenga before the one on one, you know the
gas station that I'm talking about, I know, going north
on the right.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
Yeah, yeah, So did she survive?

Speaker 3 (11:18):
She did? Okay, that's another thing. Everyone I was looking
in like that this was the next door post.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
Oh god, we don't even know if it's real.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
We don't even know it was real, okay, And this
is like crazy to me. I was like, Oh, she's
gonna survive shot shot in the yeah, but what if
she's got like permanent nerve damage. How long is she
going to be in the hospital.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Like I love that.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
Unless somebody dies, it's like, oh, it's no big deal.

of shootings around sometime.

Speaker 3 (11:56):
There's a lot of shootings at the saloon out here
in old Hollywood. What about you with road rage?

Speaker 1 (12:02):
Like I'll yell at people, but I'll never make eye
contact if someone goes to like cut me off or
they're they're honking at me, because I don't even know.
I just don't even look at them. Yeah, I just
sit there and I'm like, because I know they want
me to.

Look yeah, yeah, yeah, So I don't.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
That's such a good I know, I know, such a good.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
I'm just like smiling on the inside, like I know
they want me to look at them.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
And I'm not going to give them that satisfac and
I'm not gonna get it to them. And then and
then just pedal the metal. See you later, pedal to
the metal. Yeah, seventy five and thirty five yep.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
And you got to You gotta pray that my little
Hyundai is faster than whatever they got. So let's hope

Speaker 3 (12:44):
Anything with a real engine.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
Yeah, honest, right about that.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
It's going to try and do like a V eight
And then I don't think that means anything.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
It does if you have a V six or a
V eight, you're really zooming. Okay, they would be in
a second off the line.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
I did it right.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Yeah, I only got this was four cylinders there.

Speaker 3 (13:00):

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Yeah, you're welcome. Wow boom. Tech rage is what we
ever written down.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
Oh, tech rage, Friendy Wendy. Experience is a lot of techrage, a.

Speaker 4 (13:18):
Lot of techage yelling at Alexa. I talked to Alexa
like I would never talk to anybody in my life.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
Can you imagine? Can you imagine if people talk to
other human beings? The way that people talk to Alexa.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
No, like you wouldn't have friends.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
Like child services would be called, like like cops would
be called for like welfare checks and shit.

Speaker 4 (13:39):
There's a woman named Alexa being verbally abused.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
Oh my god. She's probably like, oh my god, I'm fine,
Like there's an Alexa near her and she's like, no,
I'm fucking fine.

Speaker 4 (13:50):
And when the robots take over, they're gonna remember if
we weren't nice to them. I try and remember that
when I.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
Got to say thank you employees and shit, really do
you no?

Speaker 3 (14:00):
But like sometimes I do. Maybe sometimes it's like they'll
be like clogging up the servers and ruining the environment.

Speaker 4 (14:05):
But I think if you don't do it, we're going
to get into terrible habits of never saying thank you.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
Oh, Alexa, turn off the lights and then you just
leave it.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
Yeah exactly, like I wish leave it for a good
two minutes and you're like, thank you.

Speaker 4 (14:19):
I wish we could have had the recording of us
losing our shit on Alexa that Palm Springs weekend when
we were trying to do say god damn.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
It was like if this was like physically manifested this.
It would have been a punching bag and just over
and over and over. It would have been like a
Guy Richie film.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
That's the thing.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
When we were we were in a pool, Alexa was
like a good maybe fifteen feet away, like, Alexa, play
beyonceay this song and then it was like.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
No, no, that's not the right part.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
And we're like, fucking Alexa, no that's not the right part.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
That's worth thirty second shit too far? Rewind not on, Alexa,
you suck, You're freaking chaos. We were like and they
were like this cunt.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
Yeah, like it was bad and not of the week.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
No, not of the week in the bad way.

Speaker 5 (15:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:10):
And here's the thing, it wasn't that long ago, like
guess what. We were going over and picking the Beyonce
song like there was no Alexa and now we're so
spoiled that if she doesn't hear every intonation and our
voices were literally burning her at the stake. I agree,
it's like it's so bad. I wonder if it's like

(15:32):
people getting shit out because they know that they can't
like subconsciously, you know that you can do it to
this machine, and there's like it's not you're not harming
another human.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
But the machine took me there, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
I didn't need to start yelling this morning because it
wouldn't shut off the freaking alarm.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
And I'm like, Alexa, stop, she doesn't stop.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
When she doesn't stop, I'm like, shut a your mouth stop.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
It was like literally three times I yelled.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
At the third time, I'm like the one caddy and
jumped off the bed and I had to get up
and lower the volume and I was like, lax up, race,
start yourself.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
It's like we turn into a husband in the nineties
at our housewife, like shut your fucking mouth the honeymooners, right,
it's like terrible though, Like that's inside of us totally.
That is inside of us.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
Well, it's just been waiting to come out.

Speaker 4 (16:25):
That's why we have the rage pod.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
Oh my god. I was watching Sullivan's Crossing. I know,
I told you guys about that nerdy nerdy show.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
Chad Michael Murray's in it, and he's fit, is all
get up, looking good, it does push ups, there's com
there's some rom com in there.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
There's some cutes now.

Speaker 5 (16:42):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
He takes her out to the forest and he's like
I got to take you somewhere. And then he takes
her to the forest.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
You know, it's so snop and he's like and he's like,
just just scream.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
You've got to let it out. I think you have
a lot of buried emotions. And and he's like, I'll
give you an example. He stands there.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
And then he lets this fiscal scream out and then
he tells her to do it, and she does and
she starts sobbing, and I was like, the right pot.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
You know, it's so horrible. Is immediately when she was
like he's taking her to force, I was like, oh god,
he's going to kill her, I thought.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
The next I'm so sorry. No, it's a soap opera
and it's very light and airy.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
So he was leading her in a session of anger management. Yes,
and it worked, okay, she was like and then like
a butterfly, flew it out from the tree.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
Totally like she her soul was renewed because she had
never I don't know she ever screamed in her life,
as although is a little bit what they made it seem.

Speaker 3 (17:44):
Like like she had just been cooking for her entire life,
and she.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
Was she's a doctor, so probably silently screaming in deciety.

Speaker 7 (17:53):
Great.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
Yeah, from getting a PhD, which gross. I don't want
school that much.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
You don't want school or you don't want people that
get PhDs to get that doctor in the front.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
The first part Erica, the first part Erica, I don't
want school away.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
I think it's kind of a funny take. I think
it's a funny.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
I just I'm like, no, I'm not going to sign
up for eight years of school, and I would have.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
To really love it. I was really close to get
an animal animal you know.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
Degree animal psychology, because I was like, that's great, I'll
go to more Park College where you actually work with
the animals, like you're outside, you're doing stuff.

Speaker 6 (18:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
I can't just be in a library, dude, I can't
unless maybe Harry.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
Potter School Magic. Maybe Magic I could do.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
And that's a real school that she can go to.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
Totally sign me up.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
I would thrive there too.

Speaker 3 (18:45):
It's not a real school that you didn't go to, Erica.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
I'm gonna choose to believe that it is. Okay, Okay.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
This is what's so crazy about the world right now,
is like when we're recording this and when this airrs
like so much shit will have happened. Oh yeah, but
like you know about like the National Guard and the
Marines that are just still hanging out here in Los Angeles.
Oh it's some which like and there's some places it
makes zero sense. It's like, that's what our tax money

(19:12):
is going to. Meanwhile, there was a fucking national disaster,
like a disaster in Texas.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
Oh yeah, the floods, right, that could have used the
National Guard.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
Like that's what it's for.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yeah, that is exactly what it's for you to say, people,
we take that helicopter and save that drown.

Speaker 3 (19:29):
Dog, and we have the National Guard hanging out like
sitting on the steps, you know, because someone might pass
them by with like a picket sign and that that
is clearly a national disaster. Something I that happened recently,
which I think is really awesome is like, are these
like tow truck companies have like banded together, and so

(19:51):
because these ice vehicles, they'll come in like in a
convoy basically okay, and so they're kind of announcing themselves. Yeah,
and they're doing it to be intimidating. Yeah, groups of
toad truck drivers are coming together because they're not parking yeah,
looking for like an unpermitted zone.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
Some they actually leave their cars unattended while they're going
to knocking on doors.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
It's like a door dash, doing a you know, hazards
and running in.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
That's the stupidest thing. How many I hope they've they've
towed so many cars.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
I don't know how many they've told, but they've it's
definitely happening.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
That's awesome.

Speaker 3 (20:26):
Not awesome.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
I love that.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
Just leave the people who are here alone, please, just
like goat save the drowning animals in Texas.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
But they won't because they're here, because that's the upside
down that we live in. But yeah, these tow truck
drivers get are done.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
I love it. They're like made or yeah, exactly.

Speaker 5 (20:44):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
I really hope that they've spread the word and it's
just like all over the city.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
But there's some groups of people that are like literally
running these agents out of the neighborhood.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
Yeah I would, I was running.

Speaker 3 (20:57):
They're surrounding the vans good and they're screaming out of
here to get the fuck out, and they're actually getting
them to retreat, which is like, it's pretty amazing.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
You showed me that one video of them in like
San Diego and they got them to back up and
they were like, get just get in the car abart.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
You know what it's like. I know you'll totally film
me on this and finding Nemo at the end when
all the fish are in the net and Nemo is
telling them to swim down. Oh yeah, they all swim
down and eventually the net breaks pops back up on
the ship.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
That's exactly it.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
Like if enough people push them back, push them down,
it's gonna break and it's gonna whip back.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
So we're a couple of white ladies, we can walk
out there and be like, we can't get that out
of here. What do you think you would.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
Ideally like take with you if you're trying to chase
them out of your neighborhood, Like if you could.

Speaker 3 (21:50):
Take not like a real weapon, you can't because they'll
come after you and then and then they'll have the
ice cream. How do you throw ice cream and it's
gonna land on them.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
An ice cream bar? It's hot outside that real quick caboo.

Speaker 3 (22:08):
Say a bar? You said ice cream? I'm thinking you're
taking scoopfuls.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
Of ice Yeah, and it's flicking it like a snowball.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
You're clearly gonna hit them. No, it's gonna it's gonna
break apart. I it's gonna break apart. Listen, it's gonna
break apart.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
And then it's it's like those the Seven Star bullets
breaks apart in the air, but then hits them all
over their body.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
Ice cream flew out of my hand. Sorry.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
I think the benefit of that would be that it's
so weird that it would distract everybody from what's happening.
That's my big more effective thing to do would be
to get like, you know, a loud speaker and get
people together.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
All on the loudspeaker. Get out here. We're chasing out ice.
Bring your ice cream.

Speaker 3 (22:49):
So it's just a play on ice. Is that why
you're thinking of it?

Speaker 2 (22:53):
Erica? You thought of that and that's good. Nope, I
just thought of ice cream. What are they gonna do?

Speaker 5 (22:58):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (22:58):
I threw ice cream at you close you to do
them for the ice cream to reach them.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
Ice cream is a little heavy, Erica. And if it
melts in the air as I'm throwing it, some of
it's still gonna land on them.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
I just think you gotta go. You gotta get close enough.
To them, and they're probably going to do something before
you get there.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
Not if I say, I have some ice cream for you, Hi,
it's welcome to my neighborhood. I'm so happy you're here.
It's hot, Hi. I would love throw it and then run.

Speaker 3 (23:23):
I would love for you to submit this pitch to
the A C l U and see what they say.
I would love that they're gonna be like.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
This bitch is insane. Is there anything new that happened
this week that I should know? Is there anything new?

Speaker 3 (23:36):
Do you know of anything new?

Speaker 4 (23:37):
We still don't have agency over our bodies?

Speaker 3 (23:40):
Okay, but I mean, like I think the big like
the newest newest thing was what's it called the drug
I always say, miss.

Speaker 4 (23:48):
Appressed, Oh the abortion pillar.

Speaker 3 (23:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (23:52):
The word they're looking for is MIFA pristone.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
So the latest would be obviously.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
And this is like this will still be on track
for when this airs. Is that in the.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
Big beautiful bill there's.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
A bunch of money to defund planned parenthood and there's
no like delineation of like, hey, by the way, alongside abortion, which,
to be abundantly clear, I am in full supportive in
basically any situation. It's also going to defund Planned Parenthood

(24:26):
from offering the other wide array of services.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
Yeah, they do.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
They get birth control, they give you condoms.

Speaker 3 (24:34):
Pap ses. Do they do pap smears, right.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
Yeah, they do pap smears exactly, So it's like cancer screenings.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
You're good, yep. Yeah, they do a whole lot of stuff.

Speaker 3 (24:43):
Especially now with like so many medical facilities closing, which
they are going to close because it is impossible with
the cuts that are going to be happening across the
country for that not to happen. There's already been clinics
that have already closed, Like there's just gonna be a
scarcity of places that women can go to for these things.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
It's too bad, you know.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
And constantly I'm very privileged to live in California that
I just think, sure stuff is worrisome. The rest of
the country is going to be struggling, and that sucks.
I would never want to be a teenager or somebody
that doesn't have a good, strong, a leader, a parent
to have their back, and then they get pregnant somehow they're.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
A teenager, they don't freaking know, it happens.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
It totally happens, and now they're like forced to have,
you know, a baby, and they can't even afford it.
They can't even afford to give the baby like a
good life. I Mean, there's just a lot of struggles
out there, and fortunately enough for me obviously I'm not
a teenager and I'm not pregnant, but I'm in California,
so I haven't had to when they come for our right,
so they don't get too worried, right because I'm like, well,

(25:49):
we're in California.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
Well, if they make a move to federally ban it, right,
that technically can trump states right like a federal.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
Yeah, which means but then we could fight back on it, right,
California would be like you.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
Can try, you can try, But there's a lot of
like the recent legislation with the Supreme Court like makes
it harder, yeah, for federal judges to just say like, hey,
you can't do that. It's their fight. Like the the
other side of things is fighting back, I mean, go
to your point, like, yes, Tina. There's also the case

(26:25):
of rape, Like there's a lot of states where like, yeah,
you terrible things happen, Like a nine year old was
raped and the state was forcing her to have the
child a nine year old that there's a woman in
Georgia who was brain dead because god, she was brain deudged.
There was a complication with her pregnancy, but because the
baby like still had a heartbeat, they force to have

(26:48):
it to stay on life support until the baby could
be retrieved. There's a whole documentary that I'm obsessed with
about this.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
What's it called? Tell people it's watch.

Speaker 3 (26:57):
It Zeroski v. Texas because there's all these women in
Texas and other states like the the it's about the
legal team that is suing Texas, but they band with
other states because there's all these women that have these complications,
and they will and hospitals and doctors will not give

(27:19):
them abortions because if there's any sign of like a heartbeat,
these women are basically and in some cases women have died.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
Yeah, I'm sure it's basically like your life.

Speaker 3 (27:30):
So they have to make sure that, like this woman
is on death's door, sure before.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
They can operate. Welleis is going to kill you once
it gets into your blood.

Speaker 3 (27:41):
Multiple women have had sepsis, Like it's not it's not
like oh one or two, like this is how bad
it gets before doctors will intervene, And why want the
doctors intervene because they will get sued. They will, they's
they will be prosecuted from the fucking asshole men. Jim
Abbott is a total piece of shop.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
I don't know who that is.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
He's the governor of Texas. He's the guy that's like,
we shouldn't like talk about blame with the floods because
that falls on you, dude.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
Right, did he like did he do a crap job.

Speaker 3 (28:13):
With the floods?

Speaker 2 (28:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (28:14):
Part of what happened was there was not an adequate
system of communication for people in that state qui oh.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
So there was an alarm that went off, Hey, you're
in a flood area, you should evacuate.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
Part of the problem was where the where the alerts happened.
Another part of the problem is there were key positions
as of April thirtieth were vacant because of the cuts
that were made at the federal level from Trump and DOGE.
It was a coordinator position through the National Weather Service
to coordinate that communication so people can evacuate with enough

(28:45):
time to not fucking drowned.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
And they were fired, and they were fired.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
That position had been vacated as of April thirtieth.

Speaker 8 (28:53):
Wow, I don't mean to laugh, but that is lappable
in a sense of how crazy it is, and the
fact that if I lived in that state and I
had a love one die, or even if I had
one of.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
My cats die, I would literally come for your throat.
If you are part of any group that fired that person,
that I could have warned me or any loved one
to get out of the area and seek refuge because
of flood's coming for your life.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
Like I don't, I don't understand that.

Speaker 3 (29:25):
I'm talking about fifty percent of Washington right now that
has basically said, yes, cut all of these people, cut funding,
go after like put a bunch.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
Of the okay to be, Texas has to go.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
We're allowed to sue you then, because if we're if
we don't have anybody at the helm to warn us
when a natural disaster comes on us.

Speaker 3 (29:44):
You think Texas the state wants to sue try they're
completely in bed.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
Well, somebody's got to step up because that's somebody's fault.
Who is going to be at the helm then to
tell these people that a natural disaster is coming.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
That is just common sense. People have to know that ession.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
Is definitely not gonna sue the federal government.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
Well there will.

Speaker 3 (30:05):
There will, I'm sure be lawsuits.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
It's Austin. People's democratic enough to wake up.

Speaker 3 (30:11):
One city in Texas, one little city.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
I don't know, I don't understand it. That's what I
could do. Wild Austin's gotta get with it. Listen, y'all.
I have a real popular film program going on over there, real,
real a lot.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
You're talking about south By Southwest. It's a popular film
south By south Dear south By Southwest. Please see the
federal government Austin, the Austin Pielm Festival.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
It's also great. Okay, that one is also great. Doesn't
get enough credit because south By Southwest takes over everything.
My point being, they could do something that sounds ridiculous
to me, that there was someone that could have sent
a warning and now people aren't mad about it and
people have died.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
That sounds insane to me. But it's hougoo bananas.

Speaker 3 (30:54):
But Tara, it's the same thing where women are dying
or near death. There is a woman in Texas in
this film. You should go watch it. There's a woman
who was told at like I don't know, twenty weeks
or something. Your child will not survive, your child will
be terminal. She was forced to carry her child and

(31:15):
deliver her child.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
And I realize it's a money issue. It's a transportation issue.

Speaker 3 (31:20):
Like a fucking religious issue.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
Well it's that, But no, I'm saying, why doesn't she
just leave the state and go like I got?

Speaker 3 (31:26):
And that's that's what and that's what she talks about.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
The money.

Speaker 3 (31:29):
It's like everyone talks about like, oh, well, she she
has two other children, she has a job. She can't
she can't just leave to get that much time. Doesn't
have the money. That is the argument that people will make.
But what happens when it's federally banned and that's not
even an option, right, or more states are banning So
now you have to travel supercross country? Do you have

(31:51):
the ability to fly? Are you in a position to fly?
Like you've got health complications, you're fucking pregnant and you've
got a job and you've got a family to take
care of. Oh yeah, absolutely, talk about undue burden. Yeah,
And they're like, well, you know, we can't point fingers,
let's not point with Now is the time to grieve?

Speaker 6 (32:09):
What?

Speaker 5 (32:10):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (32:10):
Yeah, the National Guard should have not been in LA
It should have been in Texas in an helicopter, saving lives.

Speaker 3 (32:17):
But only in a helicopter. Either you're a teenager and
you have too much oil, or you're reaching menopause and
all you want.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
Is oil because you lose it as you age.

Speaker 9 (32:28):
Fun Yep, Finding skincare that works for you is a
tough thing, except that we found the unicorn Neon Hippie.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
You know what, I.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
Really do think that all prescription medication should be delayed
to your door.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
Why are they not?

Speaker 1 (33:02):
Why do I have to drive to CBS, I gotta
drive to Target, I gotta drive to Walmart, I gotta
pick it up?

Speaker 2 (33:09):
But some I mean to get what Some are delivered.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
Some but not a not a lot. I'm telling you
one hundred and ten percent, because oh, does it make
sense that you get all your other medications delivered but
there's one medication meduication. It makes zero sense. Fricking deliver
it to my door or I honestly just want to
burn down the store because oh it's so annoying. And

(33:32):
especially if it's like not ready, then you're like you're
walking around, You're more.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
Likely to spend money. Do we know why?

Speaker 3 (33:38):
With certain medications are deliverable and certain aren't.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
Emphetaman sults come to my door and check my ID.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
I don't want to have to drive just to a
place to get my speed. I don't.

Speaker 3 (33:51):
I don't want it to get my to get my speed.

Speaker 2 (33:53):
Let's go.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
I gotta go, But I don't want to have to
walk through the CVS with all these coffin people.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
I'm just not in the mood.

Speaker 8 (33:59):
Ever.

Speaker 3 (34:00):
Well, we were talking about convenience culture, right.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
I mean I've been a part of it because I've
been buying on the online and I want my speed
delivered to my doorstep.

Speaker 3 (34:10):
This section of white woman problems is brought to you

Speaker 1 (34:19):
Let's get to the Rage Hotline. You can email us at.

Speaker 3 (34:22):
The Rage Pod at gmail dot com. Freendy Wendy, what's

Speaker 4 (34:26):

Speaker 2 (34:30):
We love it.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
Send us all your messages, emails, send us voice memos,
leave a voicemail. If you want do all the things,
do it with rage, with rage, so I don't have
to call you and give you a note.

Speaker 4 (34:42):
You've reached the rage hotline. Please leave us a message.

Speaker 3 (34:45):
Be friendy wendy to take it away.

Speaker 4 (34:50):
All right, here you go, guys, here's our first one.

Speaker 7 (34:52):
When one of my close friends tells me a man
is treating her like shit, I feel this primal, unfiltered,
zero patience kind of rage. I do not care about
their childhood traumas. I don't care what chapter of their
healing journey he's on. I don't care about his rising side.
All I see is someone hurting my friend, and I

(35:14):
go red. And it makes me wonder why is it
so much easier to feel rage when someone hurts the
people I love, but not when someone hurts me. Why
do I jump to empathy for others but not protection
for myself? So I'm thinking, like, maybe it's time to
get angrier, Maybe it's time to rage more.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
Abso freaking lutely, dude, if there is a guy on
your ball sack, did she say that the guy was
hurting her friend?

Speaker 4 (35:42):
I think she meant emotionally.

Speaker 3 (35:44):
Yeah, like when a guy takes her friend for granted
or does something that's like mean to them causes them
emotional pain, and yeah, it's it's fucking terrible. You're like,
it's so easy to advocate for somebody else that you
care about, because you're like, do you not see what
you fink fucking have?

Speaker 5 (36:00):
Right?

Speaker 3 (36:01):
She's an eleven in every way? What the fuck is
wrong with you? You're a six on a good.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
Day, totally like, I'm with you.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
I think the main thing is is that I think
everybody has the problem that you're talking about, as though
we could give great advice to all of our friends
and be like I should have been a therapist, but
in our own lives it's just blown to bits because
we can't, like it's almost really hard to tell the
thoughts that we tell other people, which we fully believe

(36:29):
for that other person or our friends, but to tell
ourselves the same thing of like, you are worth more,
you can speak up for yourself, talk about it. I mean,
I think for me, I don't have a problem with that,
which is probably why I'm still single. There's not a
lot of leeway that if you get under my skinner,
you fuck up, get the fuck out. I don't need

(36:49):
you here. But my point in that is saying, like, yes,
you even just calling to say the message. I think
it's the first step to her going like, maybe I
should set a boundary for myself and if he does
that again, or if this person makes me feel that
way again, and it's shitty, shouldn't feel that way.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
You shouldn't feel that way with a friend or yourself.

Speaker 3 (37:11):
You should treat yourself as another person. And on that note,
Hopscotch kids, this is another pledge. We really love your
song and we'd love to use in our podcast. It's
the boundary song.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
Something I step away. I don't like that, it's a boundary.
I just want to give him.

Speaker 3 (37:24):
At doesn't like it when we do that. I know,
but I give, and he does not like it. I
give him a line, please stop. I don't like sip
Slippery Slope.

Speaker 4 (37:31):
We do not have the licensing rate.

Speaker 3 (37:32):
We do we don't, but we can cut it out anyway.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
We won't. Don't cut it.

Speaker 3 (37:37):
It's about it's if you. We're gonna say every lyric
to this song, it's but I think I think that's
then you have to come face to face. It's a
vulnerability thing, right, Like, oh, then I have to say
what I want. If I say what I want, then
I get my hopes up and I put myself in
a vulnerable position to get hurt. But I know that

(38:00):
I can advocate for somebody else because it's not me. Yeah,
and it's and it's easy. It's like you're living out
whether you know it or not, whether it's a conscious
or subconscious thing. It's living out the advocacy. That's just
harder to do for yourself through somebody else because if
you again, if you're like, hey, that's hurting me, you

(38:22):
have to expose yourself as being victimized by something. You
have to you know, risk losing favor with that person,
which we know, like talking to our friend Jennifer Cox, yeah,
you know she talks about that, like we want to
be liked. That's a very like primal thing. We want
to you know, we want to make other people happy.
There's obviously some gender issues in here. I think it's

(38:45):
interesting that you're like, oh, I have no problem with that.
I wonder if there's any in vulnerability in that, and
like maybe you are quick to shut that down.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
I'm not saying everybody says that, they're like, oh, you're
too quick to say no to this match or whatever,
and I'm like, yeah, because it's one thing.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
I'm over it.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
Yeah, that's your own self defense. But like, yeah, for
other people, it might be like, oh, I just won't
talk about it, and I'd rather like support other people
that I care about because that's easier for me. Yes,
and for you, because you're such a preservationist, like you've
done so many amazing things to overcome so much atrocity
in your life, that makes sense.

Speaker 1 (39:23):
Yeah, you know, yeah, where I would have a lot
of walls or filters or whatever.

Speaker 3 (39:27):
Yeah, to so many people, it's admirable. And then you
just have to like make sure that you're allowing your
you know, you're allowing love to come in. Like to
quote fro to quote Frozen, the doors are open wide.

Speaker 2 (39:42):
I tell you, love is welcome here. I welcome it.

Speaker 1 (39:45):
But if you have yellow teeth, bad breath, or dirt
under your nails, I just I got to get out
of there.

Speaker 3 (39:51):
What if it's like the works construction.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
That's fine. Then I know these guys are working.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
They're like I'm in tech at a computer and I'm
have you never washed your hands?

Speaker 2 (40:02):
I don't understand. It's not like the hands are dirty,
it's under the nails. I look at everything.

Speaker 1 (40:07):
I look at the small things, because if you can't
take care of yourself, how could you imagine the larger picture?

Speaker 2 (40:13):
And it's not me. The next sentence is not, then
how could you take care of me? Bitch? I've done
that for the last thirty years. How can you do anything?
How do you clean your apartment, keep your toilet clean,
keep your car clean? Is it gonna freaking smell? I'm
not in the mood.

Speaker 3 (40:27):
Well, it also screams, oh, you're gonna help me do life? Yeah,
and you're not in the mood.

Speaker 2 (40:32):
I'm not like you're not. That's not your hair for
I'm really not like my shit's together. I try to
keep it good in order. Just can somebody else do
the same and we just hang out?

Speaker 3 (40:44):
You deserve it.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
Come on now, all right?

Speaker 4 (40:46):
This next one is a friend of the pod. This
is Tara's aunt Nina.

Speaker 5 (40:53):
Let's go okay. Another thing that annoys me is that
as you get older, you're eyes don't work as well,
and instead of tweezing, you can't see that close up
we're that far away. So I just I'm like, okay,
I'm going to just shave my face, just shave it
and hope that I get off what I need to

(41:15):
get off the same with my legs. And then you
end up with patches of long hair.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
Oh my god, patches I love so bad.

Speaker 3 (41:25):
They have true Beverly hills. But also, I listen everyone
women shave their face.

Speaker 2 (41:33):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I use the micro.

Speaker 3 (41:37):
Yeah, I get like catfish whiskers.

Speaker 2 (41:40):
Oh wow, got it, got it, I got it.

Speaker 3 (41:43):
And it's like it's blonde, so it's easy to forget.

Speaker 2 (41:47):
And then and then that daylight comes in that peach
fuzz and it hits.

Speaker 3 (41:52):
You in like that car mer and you're like, I
want to die. I want to die, like I want
to stop everything that I'm doing and immediately go pull
over and fix it.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
I am with you. I've done that. I've actually done that,
which is why you got to keep tweezers on you.
And or the microblade.

Speaker 3 (42:10):
Yes, the microblade.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
Yeah, yeah, that's a life saver.

Speaker 3 (42:13):
It's like the call is coming from inside the house
and that happens.

Speaker 2 (42:15):
Yeah, totally.

Speaker 1 (42:16):
Also think I think I heard part of my aunts
of that voice memo and I called her and I went, yeah,
so you sounded really nice and I've heard you when
you're mad. So if you want to call into the
Rage Pod again, do it when you're actually raging, when
you're actually mad. And she's like, yeah, you're right, and

(42:38):
I'm like, i've heard you switch, I've heard when you're mad.

Speaker 2 (42:40):
And I was like and she's like, well, what do
you mean? And I was like, you were really sweet
and she's like, oh, yeah, you're right. Thank you for
telling me that.

Speaker 1 (42:47):
I try to put like a sweet thing because you
don't want to become I want to come off like
to you know.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
Angry or offensive or whatever. And I'm like, yeah, it's
a lie. It's just me. I'm running the podcast with
two friends. Who cares.

Speaker 3 (43:00):
Oh my god, you gave your aunt notes. I did
a hard note your personal voice memo. I I literally say,
like part of our Rage hotline is like, hey, no judgment.
Whatever you want to say, we want to hear it.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
But I know her to the core and I know
she's not when she's mad. She doesn't go.

Speaker 1 (43:20):
Okay, well, there'd be a feeling there like come on, man,
I'm gonna know I will call you out.

Speaker 2 (43:27):
I would call Windy.

Speaker 1 (43:28):
Oh yeah, call any frame you call up on the
rage pod, call you out your anger.

Speaker 3 (43:32):
If you want it unfiltered, yeah, if you sound like
you're filtering it.

Speaker 2 (43:36):
Give me a nope.

Speaker 3 (43:37):
Fuck, I can't see.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
Do we got any more rage?

Speaker 3 (43:40):
We got one more horror film?

Speaker 6 (43:41):
Call it, readers, Our country is a fucking horror show.
I woke up at one fifteen in the morning, just
like awake, and people are like, oh, stop looking at
the internet.

Speaker 5 (43:50):
What like?

Speaker 6 (43:51):
How how does one stop looking.

Speaker 5 (43:52):
At the internet.

Speaker 6 (43:53):
I don't know how to do that. I wish I
was one of those people that just didn't know anything
or just didn't care. Maybe I wish that I didn't
have any but see, but then I would be a
monster because I I may or may not be full
of hate also love, but there's some hate in there
because humanity.

Speaker 3 (44:12):
Well you know, the opposite of hate is actually love,
or that you can't have hate without love.

Speaker 2 (44:20):
Nobody knew that Erica did.

Speaker 1 (44:23):
No idea is it?

Speaker 3 (44:27):
Says the girl? Says the girl who asked what happened
in the floods?

Speaker 2 (44:31):
I say, what's going on?

Speaker 3 (44:34):
Why isn't it the South By Southwest film? Why isn't
the south By Southwest Film Festival for the floods?

Speaker 2 (44:48):
Great idea, great idea. Don't worry.

Speaker 3 (44:51):
There's also an Austin Film Festival.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
There is, and it's a good one. I've been.

Speaker 1 (44:56):
It's a good one now, Erica, amazing you said it.
So this was the beginning of your ted talk that
you literally were like, well, the opposite of love is hate,
and I'm like, okay.

Speaker 2 (45:13):
Where are we I fucked it up? Where are we going?

Speaker 3 (45:17):
It's not the opposite. I fucked that up.

Speaker 2 (45:19):
It's it's what is it?

Speaker 3 (45:20):
It's that the that the antithesis of love is indifference,
not hate, because.

Speaker 2 (45:25):
You can't have love.

Speaker 3 (45:26):
You hate without love, and we always think of it
as hate. But like, if you hate someone, you have
enough of a feeling about them that you love them.

Speaker 4 (45:35):
I don't magree that really, yeah, think about well people.

Speaker 3 (45:39):
But strangers. I think that's it replies to people in
your life. Okay, okay, but yeah, no, I agree, Like
I don't have love for Jesse Waters, but I do
have hate for him, but I have enough love. I
guess that I want him to come after us. He's
on our vision board, he's on our I literally just
have a photo of him on my ceiling. It's very

(46:00):
weird for Ben, it's very oh my god.

Speaker 1 (46:04):
Well I got to tell her and learn from me. Honey,
I'm here going what's going on? Because not reading the internet,
not looking on Instagram, not looking at Twitter.

Speaker 2 (46:15):
Just no.

Speaker 3 (46:16):
Also, empathy is yah, Empathy is out right now. Apparently
empathy is out. Empathy is on. Notice it's yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:24):
I And she goes like, maybe I'm not empathetic. I'm like,
that doesn't mean that I don't have any empathy because
I'm not looking at the Internet or Instagram. I'm just
not giving that side of myself to what I'm going
to see.

Speaker 3 (46:37):
I think you have enough. You have so much empathy
that you're like, I'm I'm not going to come back
from it.

Speaker 2 (46:43):
I just can't.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
I'm choosing the ignorance to save myself.

Speaker 3 (46:46):
She's choosing. It's bad the South.

Speaker 2 (46:51):
It's very privileged.

Speaker 1 (46:54):
I am to sue Texas, to sue for the floods.
Austin Film Festival also very big, also very good. Get
the lawyers together, I've met them.

Speaker 3 (47:15):
Okay, let's go con stands for courageous, unapologetic, notorious, ten
of a woman, last man, last person, slash animal, whatever
you want. So the cunt of the week. It's a
cunt collective. It's the group of people in Venice that
put out protests against the bezos wedding.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
What did they do to fuck it?

Speaker 3 (47:37):
Had this awesome mural in the middle of like this
this huge plaza that said, if you can have your
wedding in Venice, then you can pay more taxes.

Speaker 2 (47:46):
Oh I love that.

Speaker 3 (47:47):
Built this like paper mache representation of him on an
Amazon box and put it in the canal.

Speaker 1 (47:53):
Sadly, I feel like Besos is gonna be like, Oh,

the canal.

Speaker 3 (47:58):
You know what, Basil did? They make them look like
an idiot their fucking wedding.

Are You A Charlotte?

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.
