(00:42):
into the place to get the turkey, and he was
mad about him so well, well something remember said that
they were upset because he was antagonizing others in the home.
So what is it like a roast, like you said
up to Thanksgiving and like hey you fatty, hey tech
right right exactly. So he agreed to leave and then
showed up an hour later and set his own bedroom
(01:05):
on fire and then ran into the fire spread? Why
would you light your own stuff on fire? First of all,
if we're gonna if we're gonna light the family house
on fire, don't we start at the other end, you know,
the house that I don't know how many ends there
are over this house, but I don't know if this
isn't like a mansion. But why are we burning our
own things if we're met at other people? This is crazy?

when there's actual, other real life situations people need help, Oh,
I'd be so mad.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Oh I wouldn't even go in there for a firefighter.
Oh would be so many Yeah. And then they found him,
I guess, hiding it at storage facility and they arrested him.
He's been charged with aggravated arson and residential arson. Firefighters
were able to put out the fire. Nobody was hurt
in the blaze, which that's the important part. But yeah,
I guess if I'm going to go to jail for arson,
I'm not gonna come out of jail and not have
(01:57):
any stuff because I started with my own stuff, you know,
you know what I mean? Like yeah, And also I
already don't have a place to live. I don't have
a family anymore because I was making fun of them
and they left their house on fire. So and if
I'm still living with my family, that that probably says
that may say something about me potentially, So I, well, Lisa,
they don't have a lot of money, so I don't
(02:18):
know where I'm gonna live now, and all my clothes
are burnt. So really didn't think this one through. I
don't think no, No, it's it's really really traumatic. And seventh,

then there was that, so it couldn't it couldn't have
possibly been that bad. I mean, Caitlin, I know you
had to h stay with your father, which is uh,
(02:39):
which you were telling me off the air, is the
first time you've done that in a long time, because
usually you stay with your mom. So it was you and.

so there's a lot to catch up on.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
There was a lot to catch up on. Also, his
house is like Fort Knox, Like anytime I took my
dog out, he was I had to ask him so
he could unset the alarm. Then I'd take her out,
I came back inside, and then if I didn't lock
the door or set the alarm right away, it was
a problem. I'm like, where do you think we live? Dad?
Who is he running from?

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.
