You're lucky, you're red dipper, You cheeky little monkeys.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
It's melon mon dey.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Do you know what I don't think. I like the
word dip.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Oh, well, we can't change it, man, like.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Taking a dip. No, I don't mean for that. I
mean the idea of taking a dip.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
I to say that to you because I went to
pilarates this morning and then I'm trying to dip into
the ocean every day.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Did I say that?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I told you I dipped into You use the word
dip because I definitely didn't swim. It was a dip
when you dip in and out. What else do you
call it?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (00:42):
I don't know. I just it's one of those words
I don't like. Like my daughter said once, I hate
the word dangle, and I'm like, oh, dangle's.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
A terrible word. You straight away think of balls?
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Yeah, old flompy swompy, speaking of things that give you
the year, that's what I want to do this episode.
Flompy balls are absolutely icky like, and they're not unless
they're like the other night, Arlow, my eleven year old,
(01:14):
and Odie, he's four and a half, were both I
said guys getting that they shower together a lot of
the time, and they got Arlo stripped off in the
living room, which he doesn't like. He's not shy of
his body at all yet. But I just made myself
really soak him in and look at his little peach
and his body because you're still going to be long.
(01:35):
And seeing Odie and Arlo standing there like playing with texters,
waiting to get in the shower because Backstoro is in there,
and I just was like, my two boys standing here
butt naked, backstorould never show me now. But I also
was like they still fair enough, yeah, fair enough. They
also still have tight little balls that are not sagging, Like, yeah,
(01:55):
they're going to get saggy, they're going to get pubes
and hair under their arms and an Adam's apple.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
I'm just trying to embrace the tininess.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yeah, while there's still little sort of hairless little cats.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
I said to you, we've got any pubes yet, And
so he wrangles his dick and balls around.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
He's like not not yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Yeah, but how excited do they get when they say,
oh my god, pubes and you like, you're.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
All excited now, but wait, yeah, because they're just the
tiny little black hairs, you know, the straight ones to.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Start with, the ones we get on our chin now so.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Cute, so cute.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Anyway, Yeah, I was like, let's do an episode on IX.
So think of some he's got and if you've got
any IX, hit us up Show and Towel Podcasts is
our Instagram. We'd love to hear your ex because God,
it's funny what some people find ikey, I feel like
mine are quite universal.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
But the other day we were driving in the car.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Of course i'might a going to be about poor Sam,
and he kept doing this, oh my god, like sucking
his teeth.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Oh that's like a my father in law does that
a lot. It's almost like, no, I know, it's like
but almost like sucking. I don't I want to say,
like spit or something through the not the gaps in
their teeth, but I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, like through the lines of your teeth, because he'd
obviously eaten something and he's going, I hope you can
hear that properly. And I listened to it about twenty
times and then I said, have you got something sucking
your teeth? Like you know when you're internalizing it? And
then you're aggressive. When it finally comes out, He's like,
I can't even hear it. This sounds like a you problem,
(03:31):
not me. I can't even I'm not even know I'm
doing it. I'm like, are you fucking for real? Like
it was so irritating. It was an hour drive and
all I could hear was so I just went silent
and internally like fucking flous.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
I would have had to have put something in my ears.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Didn't have anything.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
And then it is like, a it's so irrational and
unfair to pick at them for stuff like that, but
it drives me nuts. Here's another thing that gives me
the massive ick. All of my boys do it, including Sad.
When they eat, they scrape their fork along the top
of their teeth.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
What do you mean scrape it? As in like they
if they take a bite of something, then they run it. Yes,
Oh yeah, I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
And I am like, I was brought up to know
not to do that, and I constantly say to the boys,
don't do that, don't scrape your teeth on your fork.
And Sam's like, let them go, let them go, like
pick your battles, and I'm like, yeah, because it's usual
too I've been brought up to know that's bad manners,
Like I'm so vivid in my head for my mum
to say I've stopped scraping your fork.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Oh, it's so the sound.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
And I often say I have to leave the room,
like I cannot. Baxter does it the worst, and if
Odie did it, it probably wouldn't bother me. But you
know when they get to an age where they start
to bother you and I'm like, I cannot handle hearing
you do that. That is so icky and infuriating.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Dinner time becomes a real sensory overload, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
My friends, like we don't often persist with family dinners,
which I know is really sad. But the boys, the
older two just so not into each other that it's
really unpleasant. And Sam and I got to the point
where we're like, we're just doing this because it's the
dune thing to do. So now Sam and I together
(05:24):
and we get the boys to eat and they I
know it sounds really sad, but they eat in different
parts of the kitchen and the living room because it
doesn't work for us.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
It sounds like you're just doing what works family.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
It does work for us, but It is one of
my main things that I hate with us being a
neurodivergent family is it doesn't work for us. And another
friend's got a neurodivergent son, and he when he sits
at the dinner they still do dinner. When he sits
at the dinner table, he has his headphones on listening
to an audiobook because.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
It's just too stimulating for him.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah, but we persisted for years and years, and Sam
and I would always be so stressed after you know that,
we're like, this is not worth it. I mean, we
do main things as a family, like you know, when
I think of Christmas and stuff. Of course we all
sit down, but we don't do the nightly dinner. I
feed them earlier than we eat now. But now I
don't want to eat with Sam because all I can
(06:15):
hear is him scraping his fork.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
I feel like it's too I feel like that too, Like, oh,
it never was like this. I never used to be
like this. Why am I like this?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Or are you talking about it's a new thing for them?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
No, I think it's a new thing for Sam to
scrape his teeth, but it's also definitely a newer thing
for me. To have zero patience for anything. I have
no tolerance that anything that irritates me. This is the
assholy thing. Though the expectation is everyone has tolerance for you.
Like I would say the same thing. I'm like, God,
(06:47):
well know, I'm going through some shit, all right, Like
just give me, you know, give me some give me
some leeway here. But then every little thing, I'm like,
can you stop doing that?
Speaker 4 (06:56):
What?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Totally? Isn't it awful?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I am so terrible it is? And it You're so right.
And if Sam's a bit short with me and stuff,
I pick him up that quick.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Oh all right, God, yeah that was a bit.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
You just spoke to me a bit. That was a
bit rude, Like you don't need to talk to me
like that. And I can see He's like.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
You're fucking right.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
You would not survive in this house than god, you
guys would die in this house. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
I think you guys are very you're very fiery Italian.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
So it's just so cliche, but yeah, yeah, yeah, it's
our gens.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Yeah, to help it, help it, Okay. Something else that
gives me the ick is cracked heels. Oh, seeing the
back of their feet if they are in thongs, and
their back of their heels gone white and there's all
cracks in them.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
I always wonder the level of self awareness that you
choose to wear something where it's on display. And I
get that in summer, and like, there's also another side
to that, where wouldn't that be lovely not to care?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
I don't just not to care.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
I feel like it's such a part that's quite hidden.
I don't think everyone would notice something like that, But
when I noticed, I'm like, because then I know that
their beds got dead s, flaky skin in it and
stuff like that. But Sam's just the other day said, oh,
guess what, my heels are cracking. I'm like, fuck, we're
getting so old. But my nan used to make me
(08:26):
or ask me, and I never felt like I could
say no. But she had really bad arthritis, so she
couldn't bend down to her own feet, and her heels
were cracked and they were so dry. She used to
ask me to rub lotion into them. And I still
I remember vividly the feeling of the cream sliding over dry,
cracked feet and it was so fucked up.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
I think I have drama.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Yeah, it is, it is. It is a pretty yuck
thing to do. We'll just rut.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
I do love a foot massage, but I always feel
a bit uncomfortable when I go into a place. I'm like,
can I get a foot massage? And then the poor
lady has to sit on the ground and rub my feet.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
But you would get this is the thing. It's a
transactional foot massage. You're going to a place that does it.
If Sam was to sit there, get the cream out
and give you a full massage, I don't know, I
feel I didn't know what I think about it.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Shit, I'd love that. I often will put my feet
on him and go, can you rub my ditch? And
the ditch is that middle bit, you know that the
what the arch? Yeah, mine gets like when he pushes
on it, obviously pushes on some points that I'm like, oh, it.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Feels so good. It hurts, but it feels good. Then
I get mad when he goes too hard.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
I'm likew does he say, yeah, all right, I'll rub
your ditch if you rub mine.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Luckily he's not a ditch lover, but I'll just say
ditchy And then isn't that disgusting?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Oh my god?
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Yeah, that's that's that's I'm circling to one of my
eggs yours, any form of baby talk, any like putting ear,
shortening of things. I we had friends that were like,
we don't really see them anymore. But it was a
couple and we were out with them one night and
(10:16):
I don't know where it came from, but the guy
pulled up. We'd finished eating dinner and we're going to
go for a walk, and the guy pulls out to
his partner, you want to go get ice queen. I didn't.
(10:37):
On the way home, I was fixated on it. On
the way home, I said to him, I don't even
want to see them ever again. I can't like that
was an over reaction, but any sort of like baby
names for body part, sexual baby talk. Oh, I can't
think of anything more repulsive.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Changing an R to a W for a.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Man ice queam.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I just I reckon.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
The shock was evident in my face.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
It would have been. You know what else I can't like?
I call Sam babe or snaky. I've always called him
snaky and my mum used to call him snaky as well.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
But he.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
I know what it's about. But gee, there could be
a good story there.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Well, yeah, nothing at all, but my part used to
tell me Sammy the snake stories, and so when I
met Sammy, it was like, oh, snake, Sammy the snake.
But yeah, I call him babe or snaky and it's you.
A lot of people wouldn't notice the difference, but when
couples call each other baby, I get the big ick baby.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Can you pass me this?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I don't know, I just get it to some people
not different than babe, But to me, I'm like, that's
fucking gross.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
But there is something in baby in a certain circumstance,
like a discussed before, we have we don't call each
other anything but our names, right, like he calls me
meliss that's the furtherest it goes. But there is something
about maybe it's someone unfamiliar who rips out a baby
(12:15):
that sometimes it's like a oh, what do you can't
even think of? You can't even think of what circumstanced
different or different couples, No, no, a different person. Like
maybe I'm thinking more in a movie. Maybe this is
where my head is at. But like maybe in a
conversation and someone rips out a baby, I'm.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Like, oh that sounds no.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
But if Mark ever called me baby, even babe, I
would be like one.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yeah, see now it's gone to like you can't after
a thirty year relationship or however long you've been together,
introducing a new name, like no baby, oh my god.
Sometimes Sam will pick up the phone and go hey mate,
which I've said before, and I'm like, oh, I'm mate.
I aggressively say it back. I'm like, are you fucking
kidding me? Don't call me your mate, like I'm not.
(13:03):
I am your mate. I know I am your best mate,
but don't call me mate like could be babe.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Or when he called the other brow, oh my god.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
The other day he left the house and when he
goes see you, Katie, and I said see you, Sam, and.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
It was so aggressive.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
That's more aggressive than yelling at each other hands down,
that's yeah. He must have been really angry.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
He was angry. Yeah, And then we chatted later. What
did we do?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I spoke to him in a rude way like I
was sure you would not alive. No, we wouldn't because
Sam is so like, you know, he's like, when you
talk you would hate this. He's like, when you talk
to me like that, it makes me feel like we're
not a team.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
And I'm like ye, fair enough.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
It's fucking rude, and do you know what. I so
respect that, But to me, I'm like, that sounds like
work talk.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
That sounds like some probably is. Yeah, we are in
a partnership in a lot of ways, it is a business.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
But that's such a grown up, evolved way of thinking.
Whereas we are reacting irations.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I am too, But like I've said, when you're met
with somebody who's not or emotional, you just look fucking psychotic.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I would hurt Sam's feeling so bad much, Oh you'd
last two seconds, because it's very much.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
And yeah, when I think about it, it's so I
don't want to sound like we're perfect by any stretch
of the imagination. And I know you and Mark do
as well, but you still fiery and fucking fire things
at each other. But I know the basis and the
bricks and mortar of Sam and My relationship is respect,
(14:46):
a huge amount of respects.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Yeah, yeah, And that's I think, like, no matter how
you play it, like in a relationship that plays out
in different ways totally.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
And I'm not meaning that yours isn't you know.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
I would never even take it that way, But I look.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
At a lot of friends relationships, and I'm like, how
the fuck are you gonna last? Because there's no just
basic respect there.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
That I get that. It's funny how you observe other
people and you look at it and you're like, oh
my god, like how can they talk to each other
like that? But for them it's like yeah, but that's
that's our dynamic.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Totally.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Are you so thoughtful about everything you say? Like it's
just everyone's different. How we sort of yeah, so interesting?
Oh my god, this is where that show wife Swap
was good.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
It was so many go back.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
You're like, fuck, thank god I'm back. You hate them
before you left, or could have gone the other way.
Totally actually treat me like shit, you know, yeah, yeah,
that was a good show.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
All Right, We're gonna get out of here. Let us
know what your ikeys.
Speaker 2 (15:48):

Speaker 3 (05:33):
It sounds like you're just doing what works family.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
It does work for us, but It is one of
my main things that I hate with us being a
neurodivergent family is it doesn't work for us. And another
friend's got a neurodivergent son, and he when he sits
at the dinner they still do dinner. When he sits
at the dinner table, he has his headphones on listening
to an audiobook because.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
It's just too stimulating for him.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah, but we persisted for years and years, and Sam
and I would always be so stressed after you know that,
we're like, this is not worth it. I mean, we
do main things as a family, like you know, when
I think of Christmas and stuff. Of course we all
sit down, but we don't do the nightly dinner. I
feed them earlier than we eat now. But now I
don't want to eat with Sam because all I can
(06:15):
hear is him scraping his fork.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
I feel like it's too I feel like that too, Like, oh,
it never was like this. I never used to be
like this. Why am I like this?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Or are you talking about it's a new thing for them?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
No, I think it's a new thing for Sam to
scrape his teeth, but it's also definitely a newer thing
for me. To have zero patience for anything. I have
no tolerance that anything that irritates me. This is the
assholy thing. Though the expectation is everyone has tolerance for you.
Like I would say the same thing. I'm like, God,
(06:47):
well know, I'm going through some shit, all right, Like
just give me, you know, give me some give me
some leeway here. But then every little thing, I'm like,
can you stop doing that?
Speaker 4 (06:56):
What?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Totally? Isn't it awful?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I am so terrible it is? And it You're so right.
And if Sam's a bit short with me and stuff,
I pick him up that quick.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Oh all right, God, yeah that was a bit.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
You just spoke to me a bit. That was a
bit rude, Like you don't need to talk to me
like that. And I can see He's like.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
You're fucking right.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
You would not survive in this house than god, you
guys would die in this house. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
I think you guys are very you're very fiery Italian.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
So it's just so cliche, but yeah, yeah, yeah, it's
our gens.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Yeah, to help it, help it, Okay. Something else that
gives me the ick is cracked heels. Oh, seeing the
back of their feet if they are in thongs, and
their back of their heels gone white and there's all
cracks in them.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
I always wonder the level of self awareness that you
choose to wear something where it's on display. And I
get that in summer, and like, there's also another side
to that, where wouldn't that be lovely not to care?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
I don't just not to care.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
I feel like it's such a part that's quite hidden.
I don't think everyone would notice something like that, But
when I noticed, I'm like, because then I know that
their beds got dead s, flaky skin in it and
stuff like that. But Sam's just the other day said, oh,
guess what, my heels are cracking. I'm like, fuck, we're
getting so old. But my nan used to make me
(08:26):
or ask me, and I never felt like I could
say no. But she had really bad arthritis, so she
couldn't bend down to her own feet, and her heels
were cracked and they were so dry. She used to
ask me to rub lotion into them. And I still
I remember vividly the feeling of the cream sliding over dry,
cracked feet and it was so fucked up.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
I think I have drama.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Yeah, it is, it is. It is a pretty yuck
thing to do. We'll just rut.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
I do love a foot massage, but I always feel
a bit uncomfortable when I go into a place. I'm like,
can I get a foot massage? And then the poor
lady has to sit on the ground and rub my feet.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
But you would get this is the thing. It's a
transactional foot massage. You're going to a place that does it.
If Sam was to sit there, get the cream out
and give you a full massage, I don't know, I
feel I didn't know what I think about it.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Shit, I'd love that. I often will put my feet
on him and go, can you rub my ditch? And
the ditch is that middle bit, you know that the
what the arch? Yeah, mine gets like when he pushes
on it, obviously pushes on some points that I'm like, oh, it.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Feels so good. It hurts, but it feels good. Then
I get mad when he goes too hard.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
I'm likew does he say, yeah, all right, I'll rub
your ditch if you rub mine.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Luckily he's not a ditch lover, but I'll just say
ditchy And then isn't that disgusting?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Oh my god?
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Yeah, that's that's that's I'm circling to one of my
eggs yours, any form of baby talk, any like putting ear,
shortening of things. I we had friends that were like,
we don't really see them anymore. But it was a
couple and we were out with them one night and
(10:16):
I don't know where it came from, but the guy
pulled up. We'd finished eating dinner and we're going to
go for a walk, and the guy pulls out to
his partner, you want to go get ice queen. I didn't.
(10:37):
On the way home, I was fixated on it. On
the way home, I said to him, I don't even
want to see them ever again. I can't like that
was an over reaction, but any sort of like baby
names for body part, sexual baby talk. Oh, I can't
think of anything more repulsive.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Changing an R to a W for a.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Man ice queam.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I just I reckon.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
The shock was evident in my face.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
It would have been. You know what else I can't like?
I call Sam babe or snaky. I've always called him
snaky and my mum used to call him snaky as well.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
But he.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
I know what it's about. But gee, there could be
a good story there.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Well, yeah, nothing at all, but my part used to
tell me Sammy the snake stories, and so when I
met Sammy, it was like, oh, snake, Sammy the snake.
But yeah, I call him babe or snaky and it's you.
A lot of people wouldn't notice the difference, but when
couples call each other baby, I get the big ick baby.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Can you pass me this?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I don't know, I just get it to some people
not different than babe, But to me, I'm like, that's
fucking gross.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
But there is something in baby in a certain circumstance,
like a discussed before, we have we don't call each
other anything but our names, right, like he calls me
meliss that's the furtherest it goes. But there is something
about maybe it's someone unfamiliar who rips out a baby
(12:15):
that sometimes it's like a oh, what do you can't
even think of? You can't even think of what circumstanced
different or different couples, No, no, a different person. Like
maybe I'm thinking more in a movie. Maybe this is
where my head is at. But like maybe in a
conversation and someone rips out a baby, I'm.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Like, oh that sounds no.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
But if Mark ever called me baby, even babe, I
would be like one.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yeah, see now it's gone to like you can't after
a thirty year relationship or however long you've been together,
introducing a new name, like no baby, oh my god.
Sometimes Sam will pick up the phone and go hey mate,
which I've said before, and I'm like, oh, I'm mate.
I aggressively say it back. I'm like, are you fucking
kidding me? Don't call me your mate, like I'm not.
(13:03):
I am your mate. I know I am your best mate,
but don't call me mate like could be babe.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Or when he called the other brow, oh my god.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
The other day he left the house and when he
goes see you, Katie, and I said see you, Sam, and.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
It was so aggressive.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
That's more aggressive than yelling at each other hands down,
that's yeah. He must have been really angry.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
He was angry. Yeah, And then we chatted later. What
did we do?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I spoke to him in a rude way like I
was sure you would not alive. No, we wouldn't because
Sam is so like, you know, he's like, when you
talk you would hate this. He's like, when you talk
to me like that, it makes me feel like we're
not a team.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
And I'm like ye, fair enough.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
It's fucking rude, and do you know what. I so
respect that, But to me, I'm like, that sounds like
work talk.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
That sounds like some probably is. Yeah, we are in
a partnership in a lot of ways, it is a business.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
But that's such a grown up, evolved way of thinking.
Whereas we are reacting irations.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I am too, But like I've said, when you're met
with somebody who's not or emotional, you just look fucking psychotic.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I would hurt Sam's feeling so bad much, Oh you'd
last two seconds, because it's very much.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
And yeah, when I think about it, it's so I
don't want to sound like we're perfect by any stretch
of the imagination. And I know you and Mark do
as well, but you still fiery and fucking fire things
at each other. But I know the basis and the
bricks and mortar of Sam and My relationship is respect,
(14:46):
a huge amount of respects.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Yeah, yeah, And that's I think, like, no matter how
you play it, like in a relationship that plays out
in different ways totally.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
And I'm not meaning that yours isn't you know.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
I would never even take it that way, But I look.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
At a lot of friends relationships, and I'm like, how
the fuck are you gonna last? Because there's no just
basic respect there.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
That I get that. It's funny how you observe other
people and you look at it and you're like, oh
my god, like how can they talk to each other
like that? But for them it's like yeah, but that's
that's our dynamic.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Totally.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Are you so thoughtful about everything you say? Like it's
just everyone's different. How we sort of yeah, so interesting?
Oh my god, this is where that show wife Swap
was good.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
It was so many go back.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
You're like, fuck, thank god I'm back. You hate them
before you left, or could have gone the other way.
Totally actually treat me like shit, you know, yeah, yeah,
that was a good show.
Speaker 1 (15:45):

know what your ikeys.

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.
