Jack and Brian open with their trademark banter riffing on the episode's tongue-in-cheek title: everyone claims to love vegetables, but nobody really does—setting a playful, satirical tone.
From there, they launch into "Senator Quackers", a political send-up where Jack embodies an absurd candidate (presumably a duck), delivering a humorous yet pointed take on modern election theatrics.
That segues into an audio skit—an imaginative reading called "Biding Time with Biden"—featuring Kamala Harris, layered with surreal commentary in Brian and Jack's signature smart-dumb style.
Next, they shift into a nostalgic — and wildly entertaining — deep dive into 1980s MTV nostalgia, celebrating icons like Martha Quinn and Downtown Julie Brown. They riff on how MTV shaped pop culture, playfully contrasting then and now.
Mid-episode, Brian dissects quirky cultural phenomenon by exploring the "hidden stories" behind famous song characters—offbeat anecdotes that latch into the episode's quirky intellectual vibe.
They then "travel" to Italy, poking fun at Tuscan reds and rolling their eyes at overhyped travel platforms—Airbnb versus "DrinkStay"—injecting snarky takes on contemporary vacation clichés .
Later, Jack hits his comedic stride with the improvised book-pitch bonanza, tossing out ludicrous titles (A Treatise on Gravity by Jasmine Crockett, What by Joe Biden, etc.) with deadpan precision—one of the funniest highlights of the show.
To close, they deliver a nostalgic salute to Nina Blackwood, wrapping up the episode with that classic affectionate-yet-absurd homage to '80s pop culture .

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.
