It's Talk Talk with Martha Quinn.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Her name is Martha.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
What she's a began? Yeah, it's Debbie your birthday. Yes,
and she's gonna win.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Yeah? Good one. Right?
Speaker 2 (00:19):
That was like a wrap battle. The only person I'm
battling with though, is myself.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
Are we always just going up against ourselves in life?
Speaker 1 (00:29):
That's it? Thank you, Martha.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Have you ever heard that roll call? Sha shaba roll call?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Of course I have judged.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
What do you think I'm mom talking about? I know
what's going on. Welcome to Talk Talk with Martha Quinn.
This is the podcast that unit's the Morning Drive of
Christie Live. Cru Christy and Karen of Alaska's with the
Martha Quinn Show crew. Me and Karina goes Karina, what
(01:01):
number is this?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Two hundred and forty one?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
What I remember?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
One? And Martha Quinn was like, I don't know, I
don't know. I don't know if I can do a podcast.
I don't know if I want to do a podcast.
And now two hundred and forty episodes later, Martha Quinn,
you are a testament to giving things a try when
you may think it might be uncomfortable or even when
you think I don't know if I can do it,
(01:27):
you gotta try exactly.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
You got to give it a try.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
My son just started a job as a valet his
first day today, so I can't wait to find out
at the end of the.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Day how it goes.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
I'm so excited.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Ladies, No way.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yeah, oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
I'll have to have him call you later today with questions.
You can give him tips.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
It was fun I'm sure you got some really good money.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
That was it? The tips.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
It's funny you mentioned tips, because that is what I
found was the best part of it. In the Navy,
I was a valet at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yeah in Washington, DC. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
I want to make some extra cash, and that's what
I did, one of the many things I did.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Ruth Chris Steakhouse. I mean, that's that's a pricey place.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Mm hm.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
So Christy, what do you.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Think in the age of cash app, Venmo, PayPal, how
are valets getting tipped?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
You know, you might want to get a little card,
a little laminated card that has your Venmo on it.
And it just depends on how they have to pay
for the parking, because even when you go to parking
garages now they'll have electronic they ways of paying for
your parking. So people don't usually have cash on them,
(02:51):
but you know they'll say, oh, do you have a
Venmo or do you have a PayPal or something, So
it's nice if you could just bust out a little
card with a QR code on it so someone can
scan it right there. Or sometimes when you have to
pay electronically, they'll have an option the way they have
an option for everything now to add a tip.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
So we'll see interesting.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
I'd be curious to know if some total, if the
amount that say valets nationally get tipped has dropped because
of that. That's you know, much easier to pull, you know,
ten bucks out of your pocket. Here you go, move on,
but you got to go to your room. Oh where's
that card? Let me look? Oh I don't have PayPal?
(03:33):
Does this kid take Venmo? You know whatever? But so, yeah,
that's what's going on.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
That's exciting. It'll be fair exciting.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
It was fun driving all the cars.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Yeah, that part too, is gonna say. You probably get
to experience different cars.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Never get to drive probably exactly it's a good time. Yeah,
bring your life wipes.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Oh yeah, that's a great tip.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
I also have another question, Christy, since you've I'm just curious,
did anybody was anybody ever picky of like, oh, don't
take off your shoes before you get in my car,
or don't don't do this when you get in my car.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
No, they're just happy they didn't have to park, and
they just want you to, you know, bring it back fast,
So a lot of running to bring it back fast.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
I do see that all the time when I go
to Tahoe get a valet and they're.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Like, oh, they take off running, they start running, get
it back fast.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
And did you already know how to drive a stick
shift before you started?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I did, And that's helpful because you just never know. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
True.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
And these days valets have to know how to work
electric cars.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Yes, that is very true, and they're all a little different,
so that's helpful as well.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
We have a Rivian. Yeah, we've had it for how long?
I don't you know, but I've never driven it, not
one time?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Why not? I still don't understand that.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Right the quan you got to do it this weekend
for your birthday, celebrate.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Part of me doesn't want to, okay, because I don't
want to drive. If we're going somewhere, I can say
I can't I can't drive. You have to drive, hunt,
I can't drive. I don't know how to drive the car.
So part of me doesn't want to learn how to
drive it.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Yeah, then what if there's an emergency or something that
is true where you need to drive it and then
you're going to be stuck because you don't know how
to do. We're putting stuff in Martha's head. Sorry, I
mean I think that way, but but it is true.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
That's why, you know, when there's a bunch of adults
in the house and no one knows how to drive.
I mean, it's one thing to not have your license,
but it's another thing to like not even know how
to drive.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, and I know a car. I can drive my car.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Just so you know, I can drive my car. And
I'm always telling Tyson. I'm always saying he wants to
get another electric car because he, like will pull up
behind a gas car and he'll see the exhaust pipes
and he's like, oh, those exhaust pipes, look at that
putting all this pollution out into out into the atmosphere
(06:03):
or whatever. And I'm like, well, I want I know
what he's doing. He's shying to reel me in until
electric car love. And I'm like, well, I want to
have a gas car because you know, it's always good
as a backup. You know. Some friends of ours were
just telling us they drove from Florida to New York
and one of the charging areas that they had on
(06:27):
the map they were stopping at all broken every.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Last week the chargers.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Wow, So they plotted out their next charging stop. It
was like ninety nine miles away. They had one hundred
miles left on their battery and they just made it.
So I'm like, see, I feel like the charging network
landscape isn't quite worked out.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
I don't know. I think that's an excuse.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
And I don't think people are driving from Florida to
New York every day. Yeah, like you're driving to work
every day. How often are you doing a cross country trip?
People always say, oh, the electric car, But what about
driving to LA. I'm like, how many times in the
last six months have you driven to LA? Like really, yeah,
come on, that's true, you know, and then rent a
(07:13):
car if you're driving to La or if you're that concerned,
but you won't get stuck. I don't get stuck and
I do a lot of driving all over California.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Christy, what do you think about what Waimo said recently,
which was the electric driving vehicles get into less accidents.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I don't know if that's necessarily true. I would say
maybe only because they're newer, and the newer vehicles have
more safety features like collision assists, beeps.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
And you know, whistles.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
When you're gonna swerve into someone else's lane or you're
swerving out of your lane, my car will stop me.
It'll stop itself if it's gonna hit something. I've had
it like jerk me like oh stop. You know, if
someone jumps out in front of the car, or you're
backing up in someone comes and you don't see it,
my car will literally push the brakes for me. And
so I think maybe that's why, not necessarily because of
(08:07):
the driver.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Now, Like so, I was thinking about that this morning
when I was driving into work. I just wanted to
ram way Mo because it was for reals, because it
wasn't It doesn't make the you know, when you come
to a red light and you're gonna make that like
a right. You're gonna make a right. You can make
a right, but the way Moo doesn't go and it's
just waiting there to get the green light, and I
can't make the right. I know, it's just, I know
(08:30):
it is, but I just wanted to. This morning, I
was like, oh, I just want to push the weymo
with my car because get out the way, like I
wanted to make a right to pull into work. But
now we all have to wait for the green light.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
I know, two minutes.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Not these lights over here, you guys know them, the
lights over here by the studios. Man, they be taking
forever this morning. That way mo was not budging. It's like,
come on, I don't know that was.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
And you can beep your horn all you want. It
won't respond because it won't get nervous and step on
the gas.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
That part. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Anyways, Martha Quinn, you're a mom. Change lanes here, change
gears if you will. You're a mom. Happy Mother's Day weekend,
Thank you, thank you. Are your kids planning anything special
for you?
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Yes, I'm sure they are.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
No, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
You know this weekend, my birthday and Mother's Day are
on the same day, and my son said, Mom, I'm
sorry that you just have one day a year this year,
And it is kind of true, like if my birthday
was in September and Mother's Day it was in May,
then I'd have two big days. But especially when you
have them both on one day, it's like the day
(09:46):
starts with a big bang.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
What do you want for breakfast?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
You know, here's coffee, and then there's a burnout. There's
a quick burnout, so by like you know, one o'clock,
I'm washing dishes.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
That's true, that's.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
But I honestly don't care because you know, I'm so
happy to be a mom. And however it falls is
fine with me. My son is home, my daughter is
overseas with her husband. She's a married lady now, but
if I know her, she will for sure definitely be
checking in with me one way or the other. So
(10:27):
you know, it's nice. It's nice to have the weekend.
What are you guys doing for Mother's Days?
Speaker 2 (10:32):
I'm gonna take my mom, miss Ruthie, to dim sum somewhere.
I don't know where yet, but she said she wants
to be pampered, so I'm gonna pick her up and
then take her to go eat. Karina suggested a movie
she likes action movies, and right now I didn't think
there was any. But there's a Ben Affleck movie called
The Accountant Part two, so I think we'll probably go
see that because she does love the movies.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
And then that's it. Hang out.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
If I was opening a dim sum restaurant, would call
it somewhere.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Why, that would be kind of cool kind of way
because some some dim Sum somewhere, Like.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
You just said, we're gonna go to some dim Sum somewhere,
ah somewhere.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
People do that a lot that play on words with
FU restaurants, Yeah, like for show or what the fu?
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Yeah, or all kinds.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Of forget about it, yes, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Instead of give me some, it'd be like dimmy some No.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah, that's good. I like that.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
That's good. Well for mine, definitely my mom. It's it's
the same situation, Martha, that you have. So my sister, Cindy,
my older sister, was born on Mother's Day and so
her birthday is on the twelve, so it's her birthday
is on Monday. Mother's Day on Sunday, and my mom
doesn't really like to go anywhere on Mother's Day, and
(11:54):
so she's just like, Okay, well later on, take me
here or take me there. So I think we're just
gonna keep it chill. She did say yesterday that she
wants some croissants with jam and coffee, So I think
we'll just chill up the house and relax. And I
don't know. I was thinking about maybe barbecuing something or
I'll ask her, but my mom's pretty easy going. We'll see.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
But the fact is your dad gonna take the car
out to get it washed for Mother's Day?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Perhaps, let me tell you my dad.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
I just kind of heard that on Karina's family Drama
Always Something, that something happened with the car.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Yeah, he left the back windows open and he took
the car for a car while she was trying to
do something nice. But no, he's not a lot in
the car. He hasn't been in the car since, in
the new car since. Because maybe for Father's.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Day, maybe maybe Christy is your brother going to be
with you for Mother's Day?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Hopefully he will be.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
He might be out vending selling his puzzles, but hopefully
he's put some time aside.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
But we'll see. I'm not counting on it.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
But well, I'm just going ahead and making plans and
then we'll see how it goes.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Do you want to shout out his Instagram account?
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Yes, at Unified Pieces really nice beat puzzle pieces.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
They are amazing puzzles.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
They're gorgeous, and yeah, check them out if you're into puzzles,
and even if you're not into puzzles, and they make
great Mother's Day gifts.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
They do. You can make up, you can sit down
and do a puzzle with your mom.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Yeah, that's true. And they are beautiful. They are really nice.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
A couple of weeks ago, we were talking about good
deeds and I couldn't think of a good deed. And
I do want to close our podcast by relying to
you that I did a good deed.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Ooh, all right, that's great. What is it?
Speaker 2 (13:30):
So?
Speaker 4 (13:31):
I went to the doctor's office the other day and
I went to use the restroom and I walk in
and there's like three squares of toilet paper left on
the roll. And I look up on the shelf above
the toilet, and sure enough, wrapped up in that paper
is another roll of toilet paper. And I'm like, okay,
(13:53):
I can see fate has given me this job. I'm
going to take care of this for you. So I
take off the old roll of toilet paper and I
put on a new roll of toilet paper.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Oh that's nice.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
And then thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
I know, thank you.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
It is really really nice.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
That is helpful, though beyond, I know it is actually
above and beyond, because it's not your bathroom, it's not
your job.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
You didn't have to The last person didn't do it.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
M you didn't have to do it.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
They left little on me hanging, mm hmm. But I
did not leave the next person hanging.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
That is good looking out. It's the little things in
life that is true. So thank you, and the person
after you, I'm sure appreciated it, because that's the worst
when you have to go really bad and.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Then you get in there and you go and then
you look and you're.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Like, oh yeah, for real.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
So you I should have gone out to like the
receptionists and said just so you know, I just went
ahead and you know, just to you know, you know,
give myself a little props. But instead I I blabbed
it out here. You're not supposed to announce your good deeds, but.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Yeah, but sure, it's a roll with it.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
Yeah, then what if there's an emergency or something that
is true where you need to drive it and then
you're going to be stuck because you don't know how
to do. We're putting stuff in Martha's head. Sorry, I
mean I think that way, but but it is true.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
That's why, you know, when there's a bunch of adults
in the house and no one knows how to drive.
I mean, it's one thing to not have your license,
but it's another thing to like not even know how
to drive.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, and I know a car. I can drive my car.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Just so you know, I can drive my car. And
I'm always telling Tyson. I'm always saying he wants to
get another electric car because he, like will pull up
behind a gas car and he'll see the exhaust pipes
and he's like, oh, those exhaust pipes, look at that
putting all this pollution out into out into the atmosphere
(06:03):
or whatever. And I'm like, well, I want I know
what he's doing. He's shying to reel me in until
electric car love. And I'm like, well, I want to
have a gas car because you know, it's always good
as a backup. You know. Some friends of ours were
just telling us they drove from Florida to New York
and one of the charging areas that they had on
(06:27):
the map they were stopping at all broken every.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Last week the chargers.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Wow, So they plotted out their next charging stop. It
was like ninety nine miles away. They had one hundred
miles left on their battery and they just made it.
So I'm like, see, I feel like the charging network
landscape isn't quite worked out.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
I don't know. I think that's an excuse.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
And I don't think people are driving from Florida to
New York every day. Yeah, like you're driving to work
every day. How often are you doing a cross country trip?
People always say, oh, the electric car, But what about
driving to LA. I'm like, how many times in the
last six months have you driven to LA? Like really, yeah,
come on, that's true, you know, and then rent a
(07:13):
car if you're driving to La or if you're that concerned,
but you won't get stuck. I don't get stuck and
I do a lot of driving all over California.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Christy, what do you think about what Waimo said recently,
which was the electric driving vehicles get into less accidents.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I don't know if that's necessarily true. I would say
maybe only because they're newer, and the newer vehicles have
more safety features like collision assists, beeps.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
And you know, whistles.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
When you're gonna swerve into someone else's lane or you're
swerving out of your lane, my car will stop me.
It'll stop itself if it's gonna hit something. I've had
it like jerk me like oh stop. You know, if
someone jumps out in front of the car, or you're
backing up in someone comes and you don't see it,
my car will literally push the brakes for me. And
so I think maybe that's why, not necessarily because of
(08:07):
the driver.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Now, Like so, I was thinking about that this morning
when I was driving into work. I just wanted to
ram way Mo because it was for reals, because it
wasn't It doesn't make the you know, when you come
to a red light and you're gonna make that like
a right. You're gonna make a right. You can make
a right, but the way Moo doesn't go and it's
just waiting there to get the green light, and I
can't make the right. I know, it's just, I know
(08:30):
it is, but I just wanted to. This morning, I
was like, oh, I just want to push the weymo
with my car because get out the way, like I
wanted to make a right to pull into work. But
now we all have to wait for the green light.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
I know, two minutes.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Not these lights over here, you guys know them, the
lights over here by the studios. Man, they be taking
forever this morning. That way mo was not budging. It's like,
come on, I don't know that was.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
And you can beep your horn all you want. It
won't respond because it won't get nervous and step on
the gas.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
That part. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Anyways, Martha Quinn, you're a mom. Change lanes here, change
gears if you will. You're a mom. Happy Mother's Day weekend,
Thank you, thank you. Are your kids planning anything special
for you?
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Yes, I'm sure they are.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
No, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
You know this weekend, my birthday and Mother's Day are
on the same day, and my son said, Mom, I'm
sorry that you just have one day a year this year,
And it is kind of true, like if my birthday
was in September and Mother's Day it was in May,
then I'd have two big days. But especially when you
have them both on one day, it's like the day
(09:46):
starts with a big bang.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
What do you want for breakfast?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
You know, here's coffee, and then there's a burnout. There's
a quick burnout, so by like you know, one o'clock,
I'm washing dishes.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
That's true, that's.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
But I honestly don't care because you know, I'm so
happy to be a mom. And however it falls is
fine with me. My son is home, my daughter is
overseas with her husband. She's a married lady now, but
if I know her, she will for sure definitely be
checking in with me one way or the other. So
(10:27):
you know, it's nice. It's nice to have the weekend.
What are you guys doing for Mother's Days?
Speaker 2 (10:32):
I'm gonna take my mom, miss Ruthie, to dim sum somewhere.
I don't know where yet, but she said she wants
to be pampered, so I'm gonna pick her up and
then take her to go eat. Karina suggested a movie
she likes action movies, and right now I didn't think
there was any. But there's a Ben Affleck movie called
The Accountant Part two, so I think we'll probably go
see that because she does love the movies.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
And then that's it. Hang out.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
If I was opening a dim sum restaurant, would call
it somewhere.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Why, that would be kind of cool kind of way
because some some dim Sum somewhere, Like.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
You just said, we're gonna go to some dim Sum somewhere,
ah somewhere.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
People do that a lot that play on words with
FU restaurants, Yeah, like for show or what the fu?
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Yeah, or all kinds.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Of forget about it, yes, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Instead of give me some, it'd be like dimmy some No.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah, that's good. I like that.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
That's good. Well for mine, definitely my mom. It's it's
the same situation, Martha, that you have. So my sister, Cindy,
my older sister, was born on Mother's Day and so
her birthday is on the twelve, so it's her birthday
is on Monday. Mother's Day on Sunday, and my mom
doesn't really like to go anywhere on Mother's Day, and
(11:54):
so she's just like, Okay, well later on, take me
here or take me there. So I think we're just
gonna keep it chill. She did say yesterday that she
wants some croissants with jam and coffee, So I think
we'll just chill up the house and relax. And I
don't know. I was thinking about maybe barbecuing something or
I'll ask her, but my mom's pretty easy going. We'll see.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
But the fact is your dad gonna take the car
out to get it washed for Mother's Day?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Perhaps, let me tell you my dad.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
I just kind of heard that on Karina's family Drama
Always Something, that something happened with the car.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Yeah, he left the back windows open and he took
the car for a car while she was trying to
do something nice. But no, he's not a lot in
the car. He hasn't been in the car since, in
the new car since. Because maybe for Father's.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Day, maybe maybe Christy is your brother going to be
with you for Mother's Day?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Hopefully he will be.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
He might be out vending selling his puzzles, but hopefully
he's put some time aside.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
But we'll see. I'm not counting on it.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
But well, I'm just going ahead and making plans and
then we'll see how it goes.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Do you want to shout out his Instagram account?

great Mother's Day gifts.

and do a puzzle with your mom.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Yeah, that's true. And they are beautiful. They are really nice.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
A couple of weeks ago, we were talking about good
deeds and I couldn't think of a good deed. And
I do want to close our podcast by relying to
you that I did a good deed.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Ooh, all right, that's great. What is it?
Speaker 2 (13:30):
So?
Speaker 4 (13:31):
I went to the doctor's office the other day and
I went to use the restroom and I walk in
and there's like three squares of toilet paper left on
the roll. And I look up on the shelf above
the toilet, and sure enough, wrapped up in that paper
is another roll of toilet paper. And I'm like, okay,
(13:53):
I can see fate has given me this job. I'm
going to take care of this for you. So I
take off the old roll of toilet paper and I
put on a new roll of toilet paper.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Oh that's nice.
Speaker 1 (14:06):

above and beyond, because it's not your bathroom, it's not
your job.

You didn't have to The last person didn't do it.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
M you didn't have to do it.

did not leave the next person hanging.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
That is good looking out. It's the little things in
life that is true. So thank you, and the person
after you, I'm sure appreciated it, because that's the worst
when you have to go really bad and.

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.
