Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the press show. Dan is taking over Las
Vegas this January for his seven night residency Adobe 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 of data rates may apply.
All thanks to Live Nation. All right, key, 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 do shows
(00:43):
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
if you would who I really need? I needed to
(01:03):
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 sid really did his research, Like he's telling
us what car he rolled to school and what you know,
what he wa to school.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
I don't care about any of that.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
But I'm want to get to the juicy part of
the story. And so once it gets juicy, 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.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Dark room and you know, the lights are.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Dim, and they're like, so tell us about your time
with Bread, Like I can't.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Why do you take a deep breath before you start it?
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Says Kiki like former frend show co hosts.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah, yeah, So I cannot wait because the time is
gonna come, and I hope you're ready.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
I think it's more likely 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 know.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Always fix their earpiece first.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
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.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Yes, 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 lin in there,
because that's not exciting if I don't spice it up, or.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Just like be really like a story, not condescending, but
be really like it was complicated, but they.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Like what does that mean?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Right?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Right? Like you know it was quite the journey, you know,
Like I gotta tell you know, I just have a
lot to add and I would love to know everybody
else will adding in about your documentary that we're planning.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I'm executive producing.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Yes, yes, 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.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
So the title of it, it's gonna be Unbreakable Frequency,
the Fred documentary.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
That's a good one.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Unbreakable Frequency.
Speaker 3 (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, yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Said relationships. We had to worm it out because well
here was here 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 Christopher depends. It
(04:14):
depends that you ask because everything around everything around here
is my fault. That doesn't go people's way.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Right, And in your documentary, you don't get a voice.
That's the one thing about it.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
You don't get I.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Think, I think I hate this idea, right because he's
in prison.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Well, hopefully you don't go to jail, 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 bringing 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 apparently in all my fault,
but that's fine. I wish everyone the best. And so
(05:04):
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 you've got to do it. You would have to
do it right, and and that you know that that
(05:26):
was spoken about and advised and didn't happen, 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 what do we do here? And
then you Kiky. We'd all known you for years because
you'd worked in other departments and uh, and it was like, well,
(05:49):
you know, she'd be really good, and so we we
you were going you you were hired, but we but
we had traumatized not only the show but all the
listeners too much. So we were like, ah, look it's
kicking in the hole, come on in, kicking crazy that skit. Well,
I think we were we were just forget Yeah, it was.
(06:10):
It was just a tip at first, you know, bring
her in.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Yes, yes, so I'm gonna tell that.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
We were 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 3 (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 was I was busy, but I answered, so
I gotta put that in there. Oh, I want that
in the teaser, right, But 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
(06:48):
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 3 (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 talk to me, which, by the way.
Speaker 3 (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 don't think because you're nervous about you documentary. No,
I'm not. I'm obviously I'm not. I don't have that
many secrets, honestly, so I feel like nobody would be
surprised by a lot of what believe it or not,
(07:31):
I don't. I don't think I have a lot of secrets,
but would you.
Speaker 2 (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, you know, something to it,
like who was he at the bar with?
Speaker 3 (07:46):
You got to make it up? Yeah, you got to
Hasten Brown make up.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
A woman and Jonathan Shapiro ya and what all the
three of them doing there after?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Right, I can make it seem like something else was
going on. Deeah. I mean, I never let the truth
getting away of a good story.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I'm alo, so every time I tell a story it's
a little judged up.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
So I got you good documentary. Yeah, I'm infested. Okay,
let's do it. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (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 2 (08:17):
My favorite story you were so scared to get a
shot and then with diabetes was diabetes.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
That's a true story. Yeah, I know, 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, Caitlin, but times one hundred, because
I think she she just you can't let the truth
get in the way of a good story.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Well, I'm gonna probe. I'm gonna be like, well, I
know he never mowed the lawn.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
That's how you got trigger. Trigger. 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 for and it was more of an encyclopedia and
until 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 came in,
(09:08):
had a cigarette in my mouth. She had, and she
had one of those cigarette holders you know, I didn't
even know you still get.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Those trap And she said, we're not gonna have any problems,
aren't We said no, ma'am.
Speaker 3 (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 to
my head.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I love this docu Sri I mean, come on, Emmy
A war winning Okay, I think, Yeah, you know, Grammy, Oscar, Tony, I.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Love them, I think. And there's a little bit of
truth to all of that, and the Paulina 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. It's not 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
(09:58):
were doing, which is also 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 3 (10:13):
Yeah for the documentary.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Yeah, okay, well maybe we should make this documentary anyway
and put it on the highlight section of the iHeart

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.
