For today’s topic, Moxy Anne and Ruben Jay delve into ultimatums and friendship boundaries.


They explore the dynamics of Ted and Victoria's relationship from 'How I Met Your Mother' and Ross and Emily's situation from 'Friends', discussing the implications of asking partners to cut off friendships. The dialogue highlights the importance of communication, respect, and understanding in navigating these sensitive topics, ultimately questioning the ethics of ultimatums in romantic relationships.

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.
