This episode was supposed to be about Gone Girl. It isn’t. Caleb ends up walking through his Cisco network engineering years instead, detailing a class full of pill trading dropouts, confused prodigies, and a series of choices that,in hindsight, read like warnings. Lauren listens and tries to connect the dots between that environment and the person sitting next to her.
The conversation shifts to their condo. A neighbor’s nicotine stained dog bites Caleb in his own walkway, the owners pretend it’s normal, and Earl, the retired federal agent who runs the community by default, steps in to clean it up.
Then the Clever Name Podcast takes shots, which sends Caleb into a long, flat monologue about piss recordings, fake AI accusations, and a podcast war nobody cares about. Somewhere in the middle of all this, Mexican Dracula shows up…
Gone Girl is barely acknowledged. The rest is weed, nicotine, neighborhood disputes, and two people trying to get through the week.

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.
