In this no-filter banger, the Ones Ready crew dives headfirst into the absurdity of military influencer culture, retirement nonsense, and why negotiating like a sociopath at a used car lot might just be your new superpower. Aaron reflects on the absolute circus of retiring without a shadow box or a flu shot, while Trent reveals his past life as a car salesman and his refusal to speak until the dealer caves.

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.
