Speaker 1 (00:00):
He's ever been left waiting by the phone. It's the
Fred Show. Abby, Good morning, welcome to the show.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
How are you hey, I'm doing okay?
Speaker 1 (00:10):
How are you all right? Just okay? What's going on
with this guy?
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Charles? And I'm okay too? By the way, thanks for asking.
Charles is a guy that you met recently. I got
to know how you met, about any dates you've been on,
and why you think maybe you're being ghosted.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
So I met Charles through one of my coworkers and
they knew him.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Through some other job, not important, but he said that.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
He was good looking and successful and really loved his
family and was looking for like a long term, serious,
forever partner.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Okay, so this guy's out here like he's a serious person,
you know, like he's a guy who you might want
to be with and who's looking to settle now with someone.
So you're thinking, Okay, these are all good qualities and
it's a setup, which oftentimes is a good thing because
I mean, it can be a bad thing too of
it backfires. But you know, usually would someone's like, I
think you should meet so and so if it's someone
who you actually trust, then that could be a good thing.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Yeah, absolutely, and he seemed to check all the boxes.
I trust my coworker, so yeah, I thought it sounds great.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Okay, So what happened next?
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Well, I sassed him photos Evan and he was great
to look at. Okay, So yeah, I was even more excited,
so I agreed to exchange information.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I heard from.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Him not long after that at all. He asked me
about my weekend plans for that next weekend. Then I
was excited, so I figured, you know what, you know,
I do already have plans, but why not just invite
him to join. He seems fun, he might like it, Okay,
So I told him my plans were to go out
on a boat with my friends. I asked him to
(01:52):
come along. He said yes and seemed excited. So we went,
and I thought he had a fantastic time.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Was great.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
He, like I said, he checked all the boxes. He
was everything that my coworker said he was going to be.
He got along with all my friends, which is such
a huge green flag for me.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
He seems really great and I really liked him.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
I thought, I thought it was a great time, But
then I never heard from him.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
That's a bold move, by the way, I've had this
happen to me before, And I'll tell you what happened.
I got invited to go out with a woman and
then it was dating app thing, and she goes meet
me at this place and this is where I am,
and then we'll go on our date or whatever. And
I go and it's her and eight girlfriends, and I
did very well with the friends, and I liked one
(02:42):
of the other friends better and tried to track her
down and go out with her. Except but hey, that's
your fault, that is your problem, Like, don't invite me
on a group date if you don't mean, I.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Don't know, I have no I don't know you.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
I'm not invested in you, So I mean, and in
this case, I guess that could have happened. But but
you're saying though that like it just worked out this way,
And I guess if it does work out, then it's
a nice thing to know right off the top what
your friends think. Not that it really matters, but I mean,
if they were like disgusted by him or byim, or
or if he was saying stupid stuff or whatever, then
(03:15):
you kind of know where to start. But if your
friends are already like, hey, that's cool.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Well that's a good endorsement, right, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
I would think so, And you don't have the awkwardness
of the one on one what if you don't hit
it off or.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Come up with conversations.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
I mean it was like a group of people and
he knew ahead of time. I gave him the options,
so he said yes, and he went from there.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
But you haven't from them.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yeah, you haven't heard from him since.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
No, he hasn't reached out.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
He hasn't responded to any of my texts.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
That's why we're here. So let's call this guy Charles.
In just a second, I'm going to play a song,
come back and do it. I'm going to ask all
these questions on your behalf. You'll be on the phone
at some point. You're welcome to jump in. And the
hope is that you know there's something going on here
we can straighten out.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Maybe he's been busy or broke his phone or totally
you know, yeah, I mean, maybe there's a good there's
a good explanation. Let's be positive, you know what I mean,
and maybe we can fix this to set you guys
up on another day.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
That we pay for.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
So good, Abby, let's find out what's going on in
part two of waiting metaphone after this song, Lowly Young
back in two minutes.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Don't move.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
It's the French Show and we're commercial free. Lowly Young,
it's not the French Show. We're all the radio and
the iHeart Apple listed live each morning and then catch
up anytime search put a Fred show on demand and
make us a preset. Abby. All right, let's call Charles.
You guys were actually set up by somebody. I was
a coworker who thought, hey, you know what, this guy
is a good looking guy, and he has all of
this stuff together and he has all the right kind
(04:40):
of priorities and looking for a partner, and so, you know,
you guys wind up chatting and then going out and
he met all of your expectations. You but you actually
wound up inviting him for the first date to like
a boat party that your friends were having, and it
was like, well, let's see how this goes, and you
thought it went really well. Yeah, he hasn't called you
(05:01):
since the date and he hasn't responded to you, so
you feel like you're being ghosted.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
You want to know why all right, let's call him now.
Good luck.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Hello?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Hi is this Charles?
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
This is him, Hi Charles, good morning. My name is Fred.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
I'm calling from the Friend Show, the morning radio show,
and I have to tell you that we are on
the radio right now and I would need your permission
to continue with the call.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Can which that for a little bit? Would you mind?
Speaker 5 (05:31):
I mean, why are you calling me?
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Well, that's a yes, right, it's a yes. Yeah, So
you can hang up if you want to. But I'm
calling on behalf of a woman named Abby, who I
guess you were set up with, and you guys recently
went out on a date. It was kind of like
a boat party or something. Do you remember meeting her?
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Yeah? I know Abby.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Okay, Well, so we talked to Abby for a while,
and I have to tell you, Charles, she had a
lot of nice things to say about you. I guess
it was a setup and and she felt like you
exceeded expectations. And then you know, she invited you to
this this this boat party with her friends. And then
she says you did great with them, and they all
liked you, and you were good looking and all these things.
So she was hoping to hear from you for another
(06:13):
date and says that you're not responding or reaching out,
so it would appear that you're ghosting.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Why why is that?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
So?
Speaker 5 (06:20):
She come on, she contacted you guys to do this.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Right right because she was hoping we can help straighten
this out and then get you guys set up on
another date and we'll pay for that, by the way,
But why are you not calling?
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (06:34):
So, yeah, Abby, she seemed cool and you know, she
was cute, but I was down for that boat date.
You know, I thought it would be kind of a
fun way to meet some of her friends, and you know,
see what she was about.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
But you can tell a.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Lot about people when you meet their friends, which in
a good hit a bad way, you know.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
Was So we all met at the doc right, and
we all were walking to the boat and I met all.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Her friends and they all had some drinks.
Speaker 6 (06:59):
But it just felt like something something weird, Like it
felt like there were a lot of like inside joke's
going on amongst her friends and things about.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
This boat that I had, Like I didn't.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Know what it was, but you ever just felt something, well, yeah,
because you felt like you were an outsider. But then again,
I guess that's somewhat understandable because these people know each
other and you don't. But you felt you felt like
they were talking about something and you didn't know what.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
It was exactly. Eventually I just asked her, I said, Hey,
something fills off, So what's going on? And so Abby
tells me that she rents the boat from this captain
at like a very like a large discount, Like the
captain pretty much just gives it away to her because
Abby normally sleeps with this captain the boat. Oh while
(07:51):
on the boat that we're going to.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Like a little like physically, like they get it on
his boat.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
Apparently it's a pretty normal thing saying for her group
of friends to rent this boat, and sometimes she ends
up downstairs of the boat hooking up with him.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Wait was he the captain that day?
Speaker 5 (08:08):
I mean it's his boat, all right.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
So he was driving, he was driving the boat and
you were on it.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Whoa, he's driving everything that not? Apparently?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah, and she told you this.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
She sounds something weird to me, right, and definitely a
strange place to bring me on our first date.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Wow, did you and the captain did you guys be interested?
Did you guys really interested, not interested in him, but
she's interested in the deep discount she gets on the
boat rental.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
She done brought me to the bang boat.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
And.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Oh my god, was it awkward between you and the
and the and the captain.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
It was awkward between me and everybody.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Right because everybody on the boat knows the deal. And
oh my god, I'm you know, Charles, I have to
I forgot that Abby is here.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I'm very forgetful. She's been so quiet heavy.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
You forgot to tell us that you took him on
your ex boyfriend's boat.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Okay, not my ex boyfriend.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Well, because it's currently because it still happens sometimes.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
No, never my boyfriend. I'm sorry. I guess I'm a
little embarrassed.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
He he's not my boyfriend. It's never been a relationship.
I was asked about the side comments that my friends
were making, and I was honest. I said that I
was not going to continue sleeping with him, so I
and I'm not.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
That's that's my plan.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
That was last boating season. This voating season, we're not
going to do that.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
No.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Look, a good deal is a good deal on a boat.
They're expensive, and I'm able to get a really good discount.
I don't see anything crazy with that if I'm not
in a relationship with somebody else.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
No, no, I didn't. I don't think you're doing anything wrong.
But how long do you expect to continue getting this
discount without providing the goods?
Speaker 4 (10:04):
I mean, I don't know. He's a nice guy. Other
than that, I might keep getting it. But if I
don't and I'm in a relationship with somebody, then I'm
going to prioritize the relationship.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I mean, I'm not in a relationship.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
So well no, no, no, I'm not. I'm not shaming you
for for what you're doing. I guess this is kind
of a strange place to bring a new date. And
I mean, imagine Abby if I said to you, you know,
I take you to dinner and they come around and
they're like, you know what it's on us tonight? And
I'm like, yeah, because I used to sleep with the
owner of the restaurant. You know, I sometimes still do.
But thanks for the free food. I mean, wouldn't that
make you feel a little weird, like, well, what's that?
(10:39):
Why did we come here?
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I mean, he didn't have to come so.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
And is the captain a generous lover? Well, I mean
he's yeah, look at that.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Is he good at his craft or is it something
you were just doing the for the boat access?
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I mean it was it was worth the discount. I'll
say that.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Wow, no, wonder, that's weird.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Like if I'm out with all my buddies and the
and and like normally my buddy goes downstairs with the
captain of the boat, but this time we're not because
we got a new I mean, that would be kind
of funny. I would wow. So Charles, you were you
were uncomfortable. It was just like, why am I here?
Like this is weird? Like this guy? You know, we're Inloye.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
You feel right?
Speaker 1 (11:24):
You know, I don't think.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I wouldn't like to think.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
I don't think my feelings to uh too out of place.
I think everybody kind of gets my point of view.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
I wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
And here's the thing. I mean, my issue with it
is not that you slept with the guy. My issue
is that you're continuing to get a deal on something
when the previous arrangement was a very clear exchange, you
know what I mean? So, like, does is this was
this the first he learned that that wasn't It wasn't
going to be that kind of a boating day, you know.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
No, it's not always like that.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
So it's and so it wouldn't continue happening if if
Charles was interested in dating more seriously.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
We still go on the boat. I like what you
did there. I like what you did there. Yeah, I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I just I think it would be uncomfortable.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
That's fine that he's allowed to feel that way, But
to be honest, I think I'm not really interested anymore.
I think I need to be with somebody who's a
little less insecure.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
And why not in your head, this is not insecure anybody.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
She says, she's not gonna do it anymore. So, well,
I mean it's nice to have a friend with a boat.
So yeah, I mean I've done some stuff in my past.
You can judge me about it, right right.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
But do you do you still take uh, you know,
Mike the mechanic to the Minards.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Kind of pep boys.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Different if she was like, I'm going to keep sleeping
with him, We're going to keep going on this boat
every week.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
But she's like, oh, if I'm gonna okay with.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Charles, one more question than Abby and you've been very
honest and you've been very transparent and I appreciate that. Okay,
So Charles, it would appear he's not interested. So then
is the boat captain back in play?
Speaker 1 (13:12):
I mean, MS, we want to come girls? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (13:20):
So I mean, I guess my thing is like you
do kind of like the guy, but you're not.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Yeah, I just like the boat. Yeah, I don't know.
All right, Well, look, Charles, I'll ask the question.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
I know the answer. Would you like to go out
with Abby again? Not on a boat? We'll pay for it.
You can pick the blaze this time.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
No, but this is it. You know, this was fun
for my day.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Okay, all right, Hey Abby, look I wish you the best.
I appreciate your honesty. It may have been a little
too honest, or if you were going to be that honest,
maybe that's not the first date spot.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Well all right, I'm sure that's how you feel.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
The entertainment report is up next to a thousand bucks
in a tidebreaker in the show Down with Kiki, the
French back into

Speaker 3 (05:34):
Well, that's a yes, right, it's a yes. Yeah, So
you can hang up if you want to. But I'm
calling on behalf of a woman named Abby, who I
guess you were set up with, and you guys recently
went out on a date. It was kind of like
a boat party or something. Do you remember meeting her?
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Yeah? I know Abby.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Okay, Well, so we talked to Abby for a while,
and I have to tell you, Charles, she had a
lot of nice things to say about you. I guess
it was a setup and and she felt like you
exceeded expectations. And then you know, she invited you to
this this this boat party with her friends. And then
she says you did great with them, and they all
liked you, and you were good looking and all these things.
So she was hoping to hear from you for another
(06:13):
date and says that you're not responding or reaching out,
so it would appear that you're ghosting.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Why why is that?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
So?
Speaker 5 (06:20):
She come on, she contacted you guys to do this.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Right right because she was hoping we can help straighten
this out and then get you guys set up on
another date and we'll pay for that, by the way,
But why are you not calling?
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (06:34):
So, yeah, Abby, she seemed cool and you know, she
was cute, but I was down for that boat date.
You know, I thought it would be kind of a
fun way to meet some of her friends, and you know,
see what she was about.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
But you can tell a.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Lot about people when you meet their friends, which in
a good hit a bad way, you know.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
Was So we all met at the doc right, and
we all were walking to the boat and I met all.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Her friends and they all had some drinks.
Speaker 6 (06:59):
But it just felt like something something weird, Like it
felt like there were a lot of like inside joke's
going on amongst her friends and things about.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
This boat that I had, Like I didn't.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Know what it was, but you ever just felt something, well, yeah,
because you felt like you were an outsider. But then again,
I guess that's somewhat understandable because these people know each
other and you don't. But you felt you felt like
they were talking about something and you didn't know what.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
It was exactly. Eventually I just asked her, I said, Hey,
something fills off, So what's going on? And so Abby
tells me that she rents the boat from this captain
at like a very like a large discount, Like the
captain pretty much just gives it away to her because
Abby normally sleeps with this captain the boat. Oh while
(07:51):
on the boat that we're going to.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Like a little like physically, like they get it on
his boat.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
Apparently it's a pretty normal thing saying for her group
of friends to rent this boat, and sometimes she ends
up downstairs of the boat hooking up with him.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Wait was he the captain that day?
Speaker 5 (08:08):
I mean it's his boat, all right.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
So he was driving, he was driving the boat and
you were on it.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Whoa, he's driving everything that not? Apparently?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah, and she told you this.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
She sounds something weird to me, right, and definitely a
strange place to bring me on our first date.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Wow, did you and the captain did you guys be interested?
Did you guys really interested, not interested in him, but
she's interested in the deep discount she gets on the
boat rental.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
She done brought me to the bang boat.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
And.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Oh my god, was it awkward between you and the
and the and the captain.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
It was awkward between me and everybody.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Right because everybody on the boat knows the deal. And
oh my god, I'm you know, Charles, I have to
I forgot that Abby is here.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I'm very forgetful. She's been so quiet heavy.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
You forgot to tell us that you took him on
your ex boyfriend's boat.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Okay, not my ex boyfriend.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Well, because it's currently because it still happens sometimes.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
No, never my boyfriend. I'm sorry. I guess I'm a
little embarrassed.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
He he's not my boyfriend. It's never been a relationship.
I was asked about the side comments that my friends
were making, and I was honest. I said that I
was not going to continue sleeping with him, so I
and I'm not.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
That's that's my plan.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
That was last boating season. This voating season, we're not
going to do that.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
No.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Look, a good deal is a good deal on a boat.
They're expensive, and I'm able to get a really good discount.
I don't see anything crazy with that if I'm not
in a relationship with somebody else.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
No, no, I didn't. I don't think you're doing anything wrong.
But how long do you expect to continue getting this
discount without providing the goods?
Speaker 4 (10:04):
I mean, I don't know. He's a nice guy. Other
than that, I might keep getting it. But if I
don't and I'm in a relationship with somebody, then I'm
going to prioritize the relationship.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I mean, I'm not in a relationship.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
So well no, no, no, I'm not. I'm not shaming you
for for what you're doing. I guess this is kind
of a strange place to bring a new date. And
I mean, imagine Abby if I said to you, you know,
I take you to dinner and they come around and
they're like, you know what it's on us tonight? And
I'm like, yeah, because I used to sleep with the
owner of the restaurant. You know, I sometimes still do.
But thanks for the free food. I mean, wouldn't that
make you feel a little weird, like, well, what's that?
(10:39):
Why did we come here?
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I mean, he didn't have to come so.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
And is the captain a generous lover? Well, I mean
he's yeah, look at that.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Is he good at his craft or is it something
you were just doing the for the boat access?
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I mean it was it was worth the discount. I'll
say that.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Wow, no, wonder, that's weird.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Like if I'm out with all my buddies and the
and and like normally my buddy goes downstairs with the
captain of the boat, but this time we're not because
we got a new I mean, that would be kind
of funny. I would wow. So Charles, you were you
were uncomfortable. It was just like, why am I here?
Like this is weird? Like this guy? You know, we're Inloye.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
You feel right?
Speaker 1 (11:24):
You know, I don't think.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I wouldn't like to think.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
I don't think my feelings to uh too out of place.
I think everybody kind of gets my point of view.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
I wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
And here's the thing. I mean, my issue with it
is not that you slept with the guy. My issue
is that you're continuing to get a deal on something
when the previous arrangement was a very clear exchange, you
know what I mean? So, like, does is this was
this the first he learned that that wasn't It wasn't
going to be that kind of a boating day, you know.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
No, it's not always like that.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
So it's and so it wouldn't continue happening if if
Charles was interested in dating more seriously.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
We still go on the boat. I like what you
did there. I like what you did there. Yeah, I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I just I think it would be uncomfortable.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
That's fine that he's allowed to feel that way, But
to be honest, I think I'm not really interested anymore.
I think I need to be with somebody who's a
little less insecure.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
And why not in your head, this is not insecure anybody.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
She says, she's not gonna do it anymore. So, well,
I mean it's nice to have a friend with a boat.
So yeah, I mean I've done some stuff in my past.
You can judge me about it, right right.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
But do you do you still take uh, you know,
Mike the mechanic to the Minards.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Kind of pep boys.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Different if she was like, I'm going to keep sleeping
with him, We're going to keep going on this boat
every week.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
But she's like, oh, if I'm gonna okay with.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Charles, one more question than Abby and you've been very
honest and you've been very transparent and I appreciate that. Okay,
So Charles, it would appear he's not interested. So then
is the boat captain back in play?
Speaker 1 (13:12):
I mean, MS, we want to come girls? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (13:20):
So I mean, I guess my thing is like you
do kind of like the guy, but you're not.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Yeah, I just like the boat. Yeah, I don't know.
All right, Well, look, Charles, I'll ask the question.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
I know the answer. Would you like to go out
with Abby again? Not on a boat? We'll pay for it.
You can pick the blaze this time.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
No, but this is it. You know, this was fun
for my day.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Okay, all right, Hey Abby, look I wish you the best.
I appreciate your honesty. It may have been a little
too honest, or if you were going to be that honest,
maybe that's not the first date spot.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Well all right, I'm sure that's how you feel.

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.
