Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the press show. Dan is taking over Las
Vegas this January for his seven night residency Adobey Live
at Park MGM, and we've got a trip for two
to the January twenty fifth show to night Hotel State
at Park MGM January twenty fourth through the twenty sixth
and round trip airfare. Text Night to three seven three
three seven now for a chance to win. A confirmation

(00:21):
text will be said. Standard message data rates may apply.
All thanks to Live Nation. All right, kek ye, I'm
just gonna get right to the music, because, as you
may know, we have a document, a shared document everyone
writes ideas on for the show each day, and we've
now we're now up to two hundred and eighty three
pages and that's on one of them. So we could

(00:41):
do shows forever if we wanted to, and never prepare
one more day. And I know it sounds now like
we don't prepare, but trust me, we do. However, this
is what it says today for Kiki. One of the
things it says Kiki meaning she wrote it. I started
the Diddy documentary and I can't wait to be in
Fred's one day Take it Away if you would? Who

(01:02):
I really need. I need to hear a little more
on this dear blog.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
So I was watching, you know, for research purposes, the
Diddy documentary last night and I started it. And when
I tell you, it's it's a slow burn. Okay, it's
if he sent really did his research, Like he's telling
us what car he rode to school and what you know,
what he war to school. I don't care about any
of that, but I'm want to get to the juicy
part of the story. And so once it gets juicy,

(01:26):
they start bringing in all these different people that have
worked with Diddy over the years. And I was like,
you know what, one day there's gonna be a Fread
documentary And I can't wait till they invite me in
there to sit in that little dark room and you know,
the lights are dim and they're like, so tell us
about your time with Bread, Like I can't wat.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
You take a deep breath before you started it, says Kiki,
like former frend show co hosts.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah, yeah, So I cannot wait because the time is gonna.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
Come and I hope you're ready.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
I think it's like in a Kiki documentary, then you're
gonna be on a Fred documentary. But oh please, what
would you say? What's the first thing that comes to mind?
If yeah, it's like you're right, there would be like
some sort of flowers in the background or like a
bush or something, right, and like a like a frosted lens,
like an Oprah lens kind of thing, you.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Know, always fix their earpiece first, and there's like a
producer off offs to set, you know what I'm saying,
like looking out in the shadows that says like, Okay,
tell us about the first time you met Fred, and
like I'm just really prepared to sit down in a
chair and like tell my story. And I think that
I might tell it like time my story it is
you got a lot to say.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
I'd love to hear what that story is.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yeah, right, I'm gonna start off telling the truth and
then I'm gonna add a little bit of lines in there,
because that's not exciting if I don't spice it up,
or just like.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Be really like story, not condescending, but be really like
it was complicated.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
But they're like what does that mean?

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Right? Right?

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Like you know it was quite the journey, you know,
Like I gotta tell you, I just have a lot
to add and I would love to know. Everybody else
will adding about your documentary. They were planning. I'm executive producing.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Y yeah, I think it would be the most boring
documentary ever. It would be like that dude. That dude
just wanted to be on the radio and he did
it and then he went home and went to sleep.
That's what That's what happened. Well, what would you say, Okay,
so I.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
Know of it.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
It's gonna be unbreakable frequency, the Fred documentary.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
That's unbreakable frequency.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
Yes, and then you know we're gonna sit down and.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
What would you say, Okay, so tell me tell us
so you first met Fred?

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Well, first, I'm talking about how you try to soft
launch our relationship that y'all soft launched me on the show.
Remember that, Oh yeah, said relationships.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
We had to worm it out because well here was
there is the thing we learned the hard way, Uh
that this is a tough this is a tough group
to crack. So and that on us.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
Christopher depends.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
It depends that you asked, because everything around everything around
here is my fault. That doesn't go people's way right.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
And in your documentary you don't get a voice. That's
the one thing about it.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
You don't get I think, I think I hate this
idea right because he's in prison.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
Well he help me, you don't go to jail.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
But you know, I hope that too.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, I know the stories, the stories that I'm gonna
come up with legendary.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
Okay. So you you would talk about how we saw
soft launch because we tried something. You know, someone got
promoted and then uh Angie got promoted and then got
her own show, and then we we say, okay, we're
gonna try and bring it someone else, and and we
tried that and I don't think it was It wasn't
a fit for anyone. And again that's the parent and
all my fault. But that's fine. I wish everyone the best.

(05:03):
And so then it was okay, okay, so who can
we bring in? And I will say, you know, the
core of this show, it's it's it's a little rare,
but the core of the show has been together for
seven eight years at minimum. So I would say it
would be a little intimidated to come in from the outside.
I will say that. And then you've got to do it.
You would have to do it right, and and that

(05:25):
you know that that was spoken about and advised and
didn't happen. But but that's okay. So for this and
I and I lost a lot of credibility in the room,
and I think people hated me and you all hated me,
and I don't blame you. I don't blame any of you.
But so then it was okay, well what do we
do here? And then you Kiky. We'd all known you

(05:45):
for years because you'd worked in other departments and uh,
and it was like, well, you know, she'd be really good,
and so we we you were going you were hired,
but we but we had traumatized not only the show
but all the listeners too much. We were like, ah,
look it's Kicky in the hole, come on in, kick crazy,
that's skit. Well I think we were we were, Yeah,

(06:10):
it was. It was just a tip at first, you know.

Speaker 4 (06:13):
Bring her in. Yes, yes, so I'm going.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
To tell all traumatized. We were all we were all
triggered and traumatized. So we had to ease it in
and look what we Look what happened. It worked perfectly.

Speaker 4 (06:24):
Yes, it is so far. So I can't wait to
tell this story.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
And a lot of people on the text reminded me
about how you called me when I first started the show,
and I.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
Was I was busy, but I answered, so I gotta
put that in there. Oh, I want that in the teaser, right.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
It's funny. I didn't even see I didn't obviously know
that at the time. But I don't remember why I
called you. I don't remember how it came up, but
I called. Apparently I called you one day and you answered,
but you were you were getting hit at the time.

Speaker 4 (06:54):
I was, I was wrestling.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah, it was. It was grown up time. And apparently
mid mid grown up time, you still answered the phone
and talked to me, which, by the way.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
Hey, I needed this job, man, you don't.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
You don't have to do that. You can call me
afterwards requirement, right, it's fine, okay, all right, I don't know.
I mean, Caitlin, would you. I don't like this idea,
I'll think, because you're nervous about to be a documentary. No,
I'm not. I'm obviously I'm I don't have that many secrets, honestly,
so I feel like nobody would be surprised by a
lot of what they believe it or not. I don't.

(07:31):
I don't think I have a lot of secrets, but
would you.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
I mean, our relationship started in a bar and we
were hammered and Jason was there, So that that'll be
a good story to go along.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
You know, something to it, like who was he at
the bar with? You got to make it up?

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Yeah, you got to Jason Brown make up a woman
and Jonathan Shapiro Yeah, and.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
All the three of them doing there after, Right, I
can make it seem like something else was going on. Yeah,
I mean, I never let the truth getting away of
a good story. I'm a leo, so every time I
tell a story it's a little judged up.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
So I got you good documentary.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
Yeah, I'm invested.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
Okay, let's do it. Oh my gosh.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
And the stories your mom would tell Fred, the one
about your passing out at the pediatrician that has to go.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
That's a true story. That's actually that's one of the
only stories she tells. It's true.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
My favorite story.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
You were so scared to get a shot and then with.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Diabetes was diabetes. That's a true story. Yeah. No, I
love my mom so much, but I don't I no
longer know and and and there's no harm being done,
but I no longer know what she's saying. It's true,
I don't know. And she's like, you can't lin at
times one hundred because I think she she just you
can't let the truth get in the way of a
good story.

Speaker 4 (08:42):
Well, I'm gonna probe.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
I'm gonna be like, well, I know he never mowed
the lawn.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
That's how you trigger trigger Paulina. I guess you could
tell the story about how I met you when you
came in and in your interview with it with a
notebook foot and it was more of an encyclopedia and
until just how much our show sucked and how you
were going to make it better. That's exactly what happened.
I certainly did, yes, and then I will judg it
up even more, and I'll say that you know, I

(09:07):
came in had a cigaret in my mouth. She had
on inside, she did, and she had one of those
cigarette holders you know, I didn't even know you still
could get those crap.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
And she said, we're not gonna have any problems, aren't
We said no, ma'am.

Speaker 4 (09:23):
That's how I got here.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Yeah, And then then we had no choice but to
hire you because well, because there was a shotgun in
my head.

Speaker 4 (09:31):
I love this DOCKU sries. I mean, come on, Emmy
A war winning Okay, I think?

Speaker 2 (09:35):
So yeah, College, you know, Grammy, Oscar, Tony, I love them,
I think.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
And there's a little bit of truth to all of that,
and the Polina story is a little bit of truth
to that story. But I have to say I respect
the hell out of it because, well, I remember it
was nearly as dramatic as what I described. But I
think what you were doing was you were you were
telling us how you could add value, which is what
you should should have done. And you had listened and
paid attention to what we were doing, which is also

(10:00):
what you should have done. I just remember sitting back
and being like, who is this person? And you had
a job the next day, so and so you did
it exactly what you were supposed to do. But my
version of the story is way better.

Speaker 4 (10:13):
YEA for the documentary, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Okay, Well maybe we should make this documentary anyway and
put it on the highlights section of the iHeart Radio.

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.
