Daniel is still MIA, leaving Dina, Sean, and special guest co-host Shannon Bright to hold down the fort! This week, things get weird as they dive into the Hear Me Out Cake challenge—where they justify their most questionable fictional crushes. From animated animals to biblical warriors (yeah, really), things get unhinged fast.

In this episode:

Dina’s Conspiracy Corner goes off the rails—again. Did NASA fake the moon landing using Alcatraz prisoners? She has TikTok evidence, so it must be true. 👀 Shannon’s research leads to deep Wizard of Oz lore. Who knew the Tin Man’s backstory was so metal? 🤯 A voicemail time capsule brings a Fast & Furious surprise. The gang debates how to nail a climax (in writing, get your mind out of the gutter). Dina’s harrowing childhood story of saving a life. Spoiler: a pool cover was involved.

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.
