The Illuminati forced their way onto my podcast to talk some sh#t. I don't even know what to believe. They even stole my clothes and tied me up, it was weird. 

They told me they really liked this weird band called Offside and asked me to promote them by linking them below. They didn't give me their personal Linktree as they wanted to keep themselves private. Anyway, the links are in the description....

    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.
