last week? Didn't you? Didn't you premiere last night?

Speaker 2 (00:29):
I did?

Speaker 3 (00:30):
Did you watch it?

Speaker 4 (00:31):
No?

Speaker 1 (00:31):
You know what I didn't. I apologize, No, No, I'm
very sorry.

Speaker 4 (00:35):
I'm very.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Well.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
I did a little bit. I did a little bit.
How can you can you say? What happened last night?

Speaker 4 (00:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Oh, I'm sorry to spoil it for you, but I did.
Now make it through to the next round. What I'm
sorry to disappoint. What? Oh?

Speaker 1 (00:54):
I gotta go, Marjorie, I gotta go.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
I know I was like today even want me me
up anymore?

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Wait? So what is well? Can you back up for
a second, like when we were talking about you on
either Thursday or Friday of last week. The show it's
the Harry Potter Wizards of Baking. That the that show's
got that show's got a good following.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Yeah, I didn't realize it at the time of you know,
signing up for it. I did watch last season, but
you know, you don't realize how many people actually follow
the show until you are on social media and they're
promoting the crap out of it. Like I didn't really
didn't really grasp that until now. Yeah, there's a lot

(01:40):
of pressure because there's probably millions of people that tune
into it. You'd like bakers, non bakers, just plain old
Harry Potter fans. So, yeah, I was really anxious leading
up to it.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Hey and so, and you ended up obviously you have
to go to England in order to do it. Did
I really I'm trying to remember the story that I
read about you didn't you have to get like a
rush on your passport to be able to do it?

Speaker 3 (02:05):
I did.

Speaker 5 (02:06):
I didn't know that was public knowledge, but yeah, when
I when I was contacted for the show and I auditioned,
they were under the impression that I already had my
passport but I did not haven't updated it since I
was eighteen.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
So it was not renewed. So they I guess they
really wanted me on there. That's the impression that I got,
because they told me that I had to rush order.
They were like, we need it in less than four weeks.
Oh wow, Yeah, that was stressful, but I did end
up getting it. It worked out.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Hey, So when you when you say you auditioned for it,
you just went online and signed up and then you
had to go through the whole process.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
I actually got contacted for it. I've never actually auditions,
like applied for a show myself, like Salt One Out.
I've been on a few before, so it's like once
you're on one show, it's kind of like you're you know,
you get a little well known from social media, and

(03:06):
recruiters tend to you know your name and start you out.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
And what is your your your story is you're you're
from New York, but you moved to Richmond what about
almost ten years ago? Eight seven? Eight years ago?

Speaker 3 (03:19):
Actually been there for seven years?

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yeah, oh good for you. How'd you end up moving down.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
Com for a past relationship? But that's either here nor there. Yeah,
but I did moving on? No, I did, you know,
move here with the intention of finding a job first
securing one so that you know that was set And
I actually emailed this SA theory called sweet Picks randomly.

(03:51):
I was like, I don't. I know, you guys are
probably not hiring, but you know, I sent my portfolio
over and it's like, I just, you know, I just
I'm looking for a job. I'm not going to move
to Richmond before I secure one. And then they told
me that I was so good they wanted to secure
me first before anybody else snatched me up. So I
got a job at We Fixed Bakery, and I stuck

(04:14):
around for them, honestly because I love that job and
it's it's my favorite job. Never had, you know, my
favorite coworker's capite boss, and that has really that's really
what has kept me around in Richmond, honestly.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Dude, good for you, that's also true, or falls you're
a great big nerd.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yeah, I am a gigantic wrestling fan and that's how
I started listening to you guys. True story. I have
a coworker that listens to you guys every morning, and
he told me about how much you.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Talk about wrestling. Tyler. It's Tyler, It's Tyler. Tyler talks
about five nights over Tyler.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
I appreciate you know. I'm the same. I've been a
fan since I was a little kid, and I mean
that reflects on me too. Uh point that I started
listening to you only because of wrestling, but I mean
I love you guys now for multiple other reasons.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
There we go. Excellent, excellent Saturday Night.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
Oh gosh, I mean I didn't watch it, but I
do know about Jade right.

Speaker 4 (05:28):
Yeah that happened, my god, Nell, Yeah, me and Tyler
needs to be friends and talk about this off the air.
But I can talk your ear off.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
But yeah, I love wrestling so much that I started
doing like realistic wrestling cake cutting videos for social media.
It was like that trend where people were like cut
into realistic objects and I was like, nobody does wrestling
related objects show. I started doing that.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
I'm watching your stuff.

Speaker 3 (06:06):

Speaker 3 (06:21):
Yeah? Oh my god, that's my big thing. And they
actually showed when I when they were introducing me on
the show last night, they actually showed like nothing but
my wrestling cosplay photos.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
I was so embarrassed.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
I was like, I don't wear dorble clothing and I
just walk around in costumes all day. I was very surprised.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
You know what you should do? When is the next
When is the next big? Like I know they had
something every week, and I don't mean like when's the
next next t but like, when's the next p l E.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
But would would you bring would you make us a
wrestling cake?

Speaker 3 (07:24):
Wait, you're asking me to make you a wrestling cake,
but you're not giving me tickets to the show.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah, that's what you got that exactly right.

Speaker 6 (07:34):
She's already done John's Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
Yeah, I did want already to celebrate his retirement.

Speaker 4 (07:43):

Speaker 1 (07:43):
No, but what I was going to say is, yes,
you could bring the cake up and then we could
eat what Diane and I could eat, and you and
Tyler could talk all about the match for hours. Not
on the air, but yeah, for hours and hours.

Speaker 4 (07:57):
Yeah, I would love to do that.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
Actually was going to offer anyway.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
No, that's very kind, all right. And by the way, okay,
so last two things. Last two things. I'm assuming that
you and even though it didn't go your way, you
would still encourage everybody to watch the show. Like that's good.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
Oh yeah, I mean I had a blast. Honestly, I
wouldn't you know, trade it for the world, and like,
I don't regret a thing by doing it. Anyway. It
was an amazing show and I made friends with every
single cast member on there. It's not like we were competitors. Honestly,
we became really close throughout the whole process, and they're
super talented. So I want everyone to, you know, watch

(08:39):
my friends throughout the entire show too. Like there's amazing
show pieces that they made. So I would definitely watch
it regardless, but definitely my episode because there was it
was pretty funny and you could see all my wrestling
references that I made.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
And then what is the the bakery in enrich And
is called Sweet Fix, right sweet Ticks.

for seven years, ever since I moved to Richmond.

closing at the end of the month, so I'll be
doing my own thing from there on out. But we're
closing down to the due to the new owner's new
project where she's she's founding the first ever Richmond ren fair.

Are You A Charlotte?

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.
