Speaker 3 (02:04):
Fun fact. It's fun in effect, it's the yeah We're three.

Speaker 6 (02:08):
Fun fun fact brought to you by Concordia University IRVINES
Masters in Coaching and Athletics Administration Program. It's a fact
over five thousand coaches and administrators have graduated from their
master's program. Find out more at CUI dot eedu slash coaching.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
You do the math, and the math says Santa has
to visit eight hundred and twenty two homes per second
to deliver all the world's presence on Christmas Eve while
traveling at six hundred and fifty miles per second. But that,
of course assumes that every kid is on the nice list,

(02:49):
and we know that not to be true.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
That's the truth.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
So when you factor in the percentage of the naughties,
that thing has halved.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
At least it cleaved.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
So you're talking four hundred and eleven homes at three
hundred and twenty five miles per second. Much more manageab,
way more manageable, much more management for Saint Nick, no doubt.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
All right, it is time for the quick hits, quick hits.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Make it quick, y'all.

Speaker 6 (03:18):
Oh yeah, the Lakers fifteen to five had their seven
game win streak snapped. We talked to Allen's sleep. Yes,
we had the hoops talk in the last segment. Here's
JJ Reddick postgame. You'd be surprised, but he's not happy
with his teams performance.

Speaker 7 (03:32):
You're if you don't play hard against that team, you're
gonna get exposed. So you know you.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
Multiple times in.

Speaker 7 (03:42):
The first half we have a numbers advantage in transition
on the defensive end, and guys just run by us.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
You know, it's we.

Speaker 7 (03:53):
Talked about matching their physicality. Didn't do that to any
extent at any point in the game.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
It's it's it's it's a weird it's a weird.

Speaker 7 (04:03):
Sort of thing.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
It really is.

Speaker 7 (04:05):
It's like it's like the Monstars taking over the people
that you've grown to coach, and they're not doing anything
that they normally do.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
It's weird.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
I thought the Monstars were pretty physical.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Yeah, the Monstars played pretty hard.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
Yeah, boofing and bopping Charles Barkley and Patrick Ewan all
over the place.

Speaker 6 (04:27):
Of Lebron's post game, he was asked about his uh
foot injury that kept him out of the game on Sunday,
and then asked Himbout maybe reverning the offense back to
him more. If you get it, you understand, you understand,
Just wake up, Janet and that before you know your role.

Speaker 8 (04:48):
With this team, in particular this season, when when things
are kind of, you know, kind of stuck in the mud,
is there an instinct to try to maybe buck what
you do and you get the ball back in your
hands or I mean, obviously Lucas Luca and then cares
a bigger load generally with this team, and is it

(05:09):
kind of let that play out and then you go
from there.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
There you go there working man.

Speaker 6 (05:15):
Obviously, you know we have opportunity to change pitches and
switch pitches, but the goal was working.

Speaker 8 (05:20):
Obviously, you know, we didn't play our brand of basketball
the way we wanted to play.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
So he's just one game.

Speaker 4 (05:25):
We don't so Lucas Luca. But if things are going bad,
is there a tendency by you God, just ask him. Hey, Lebron,
you want the ball in your hands more?

Speaker 6 (05:37):
He'll say, coverage nauseating Lebron Maverick Carter Prox.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
He's in the media, and.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
He does not care about saying the right thing. He
cares about saying the right thing that makes Lebron look
the best. Should you have the ball in your hand more, Lebron?

Speaker 3 (05:49):
Damn right.

Speaker 6 (05:51):
The Clippers are five and sixteen, though terrible, they lost
five in a row. They're in Atlanta tomorrow to take
on the Hawks. National media's finally discovered that the Clippers
first round pick is going to Okay see this year.
Bleacher Report posted something today pointing out that the Thunder
get the Jazz first round pick two. WHOA, They're gonna
be really good forever.

Speaker 4 (06:13):
I already saw trade talk for the Clippers. They were pointing,
they made a good point. They're like, they have to
go sixteen and five to be twenty one and twenty
one at the halfway mark.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
I heard that's not gonna happen. I heard Carlos on
the block.

Speaker 4 (06:25):
Oh but his tiktoks.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
That's why he's got a high value, right, putting him up.

Speaker 6 (06:31):
Rams are nine and three in Arizona on Sunday taking
on the Cardinals. Chargers are eight and four at home
on Monday night versus the Eagles. Jim Harbaugh was on
with Colin Coward today. Here's part of that conversation, brought
to you by Valveline Instant Oil Change Home with the
fifteen minutes Stay in your Oil Change Home of the
fifteen minutes Stay in your car Oil Change with locations

(06:53):
off Thround, Southern California, so caloil change dot Com.

Speaker 9 (06:57):
I thought our offensive line, really, you know, I have
one of its h one of its best games this
past week. Yeah, uh, Jamari saw you really did a
heck of a job at left tackle. Zion Johnson played
one of his best games. Brad Boseman had one of
his best games. Kai Beckton uh graded out over all
all of our lineman graded out over ninety percent. Trey

(07:18):
Pipkins had had a bunch of key blocks. Our running
backs really, uh, you know did a phenomenal job. Kamani
Badell Uh, Jared Patterson really uh you know played some
of our best football just uh. And it's those guys,
they're the they're the tough tough men. Plus faith uh
and number ten. Uh, let's never forget uh. Justin Herbert

(07:42):
he is uh. Uh, he's he's he's a he's a lead,
he's a beast, he's uh, he's one of the best
in my opinion.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
So he is playing in the game now.

Speaker 10 (07:53):
And ever do you ever have to say to Justin listen,
I love that you're a tough guy. Could you be
a little less tough? Could just slide? You ever have
to just send him down? As a former quarterback, say Justin,
I know you're six five and two fifty. These guys want.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
To hurt you.

Speaker 10 (08:08):
Do you ever have those conversations with you?

Speaker 9 (08:11):
You know, not too many, you know, not really Justin
is just he's at a level that that I just
let Justin be Justin and and he knows exactly what
he's doing. He's doing it, you know, at the highest
level of person possibly can. But would I would tell
all quarterbacks because I remember those days of trying to.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Be cute on the sideline too. You know, you just you.

Speaker 9 (08:36):
Kind of get to the sideline, just slow up a
little bit. You know, you look like you're stepping out
of bounds and you're trying to get him to hit you,
so you can kind of you know, get get the penalty.
But you know those that's a that's an emphasis right
now in the NFL that and they even send it
up for review, like if both those feet aren't out
of bounds, you know you can you can be hit.

Speaker 10 (08:58):
Justin had surgery. Is he gonna play Monday against Philly?
Do we know that today?

Speaker 3 (09:02):
Right now?

Speaker 5 (09:03):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (09:03):
If there's any possible way, Yeah, Justin will will do
anything and everything in his power to uh to play
in the game. Okay, what if he's the kind of
he's the kind of guy you have to pull back.
You can never you can never uh you could never
uh you never have to talk him into playing football,
that's for sure. You saw that, saw that in our
game against the Raiders. You know, one minute he just

(09:25):
he just went in. He just went in.

Speaker 6 (09:27):
So it sounds like Justin Herbert, He's gonna play with
one mechanical hand on Monday night.

Speaker 4 (09:35):
Justin Herbert's gonna play with the mechanical head.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
Awesome, Justin Herbert's gonna play with the chantalham.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
Justin Herbert's gonna play with the catical ahead.

Speaker 6 (09:42):
Weren't a spreading already? The latest college football rankings.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
Have come out CFP forever. Just check Canal's Twitter feed.
He'll break it down for you. You respect him, I
do spect his game. Penn State reportedly was interested in
BYU head coach Kalani Sataki, as we reported yesterday, but
then the Mormon faithful put up a fight to keep
their coach. Reports now that Sataki is telling folks around
him me staying at BYU. Leading the public charge was

(10:10):
b yu Alum Jason McGowan, the CEO of Crumble Cookies,
who called Sataki not replaceable and vowed to get off
the sidelines and get to work to keep the coach
at b Yus BYU.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
We want to hire simone.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
Guys, Hey, what's today is it? Teddy?

Speaker 6 (10:38):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (10:39):
No, gotta go.

Speaker 6 (10:40):
They also support Utah State, but apparently not as much
as they support BYU.

Speaker 4 (10:44):
Well understandable. You know a little bit of bigger brains.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
Well he's from Logan.

Speaker 4 (10:48):
Right, that was the first crumble cookie still there in Logan.

Speaker 6 (10:54):
Deputy Commissioner Bill Day said the NHL is warning teams
against taking warm ups with helmets, a growing trend this
season that violates NHL rules. The NHL is sending out
a memo to mind teams that helmets are mandatory in
warm ups for all players who entered the NHL beginning
with the twenty nineteen twenty twenty season or later.

Speaker 4 (11:15):
What's up with that guy over there that's got no
helmet at all? Smoking a cigarette? He to be like
that during a whole game. You could be an old
head with no helmet. I remember that, Al mckinnis. I
remember going to a hockey game and being like, why
didn't that one guy have.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
A helmet on?

Speaker 6 (11:28):
Earlater, your grandfather, he's old enough he can have to
Two teams from two teams in the last week have
got out to warm ups without their helmets. Trying to
switch things up to snap a losing streak. It worked
for the Senators, did not work for the Sharks. When
asked about it, the Senators and the Sharks both referenced
Matt mney Smith on the Petrols of Money Show saying

(11:49):
they don't think that we should have to wear head
gear because we want to be free and.

Speaker 4 (11:54):
Hair when we do have the the annual flow rankings,
I mean, what's the point of having flow rankings? Have
you got to wear a helmet in the warm ups?

Speaker 6 (12:03):
Mike Piazza has always said after twenty three Grand Prixx
six sprint races and more than eight months of racing,
the twenty twenty five Formula One season will come down
to a final race for the championship, the driver's chip
for the F one Drivers Championship. All three drivers still
have a real chance to win the championship with the

(12:24):
victory for stopping is now just twelve points. Shy of
Norris going into the final race at Abu Dhabi Grand
Prix next Sunday. We'll have an F one report on Thursday.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
And now we have a bunch of winko.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
Yeah, well not yet.

Speaker 6 (12:39):
I mean, you know, there's there's still a chance. But
if for stopping can repeat the exact same results next
weekend a win Pastrian second and Norris and fourth, he
would win his fifth drivers Championship in a row.

Speaker 4 (12:53):
I mean, if you're a McLaren, you just get one
of your two drivers to just nuke him right out
of the race, right.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
That's what they would have mean, that's what they would
have done twenty years ago.

Speaker 4 (13:02):
Matt like, Hey, sorry Max.

Speaker 6 (13:04):
Yeah, but twenty years ago by you would never have
hired a Simoonen guy. So times Change.

Speaker 11 (13:09):
Didn't you pay like Williams to do it? They suck anyways,
Right here, here's twenty million. Hey William Williams, Hey, Albo,
how dare you? William was pretty good this year. Now
you want Nico Haltonberson talking, let's go. We'll be back
when we want to be around next year. We'll have
some Southern football talk next, Sonoda, that's your die. That
does Hey, they booted you out of here, Sonoda.

Speaker 3 (13:33):

Speaker 6 (14:17):
Well whatever, the coaching carousel is mad, spinning, wild and free,
and the South and college football talk is bubbling over
like a gumbo pot.

Speaker 3 (14:30):
We always check in with.

Speaker 6 (14:32):
Our friend, our learned friend of the South, who's always very,
very interesting and intriguing this time of year. Eleven years
at Sports Illustrated, he was at the Athletic.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
As a Southern American.

Speaker 5 (14:47):
You said something that got up underneath my skin.

Speaker 6 (14:49):
Now he's with on three Sports. He's a real champion,
and he's joining us on your Southern California Toyota Dealers
Celebrity Hotline. It is Andy Staples back on Petro said money,
what's cracking?

Speaker 3 (15:01):
Andy? How are you?

Speaker 5 (15:03):
I must be in the stitch. I don't know if
phones just went out, so but now I was asking
if that was if that was one of my relatives
you played earlier. I don't know if it's the South
Carolina side or the Alabama side of the family. Maybe
maybe I live in Florida, so just typical Florida man.

Speaker 6 (15:16):
But yeah, well, we think of you as whenever we
talk to you, as you skimming across the Bayou in
an air boat going from source to source.

Speaker 5 (15:27):
I'm not kidding here. I live in a fairly bougie neighborhood,
but seriously, two streets over for me, there's a guy
who keeps his airboat parked in front of them.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (15:37):
Yeah, three days a week.

Speaker 3 (15:39):
That is how we wanted you while you're up.

Speaker 6 (15:42):
Now, look, you've covered these stories, I mean, all the
way back from you know, the Auburn Private Jets trying
to undermine Tommy Tubberville or whatever. I mean, we've seen
it all. But where does this Kiff and Saga kind
of rank for you? It just feels like it's never ending,
and it's so it's just there's something even more tantalizing

(16:03):
every day.

Speaker 5 (16:05):
It had so many tentacles. I think that's what made
it so interesting because when Florida fired Billion Apier, it
was very clear that their top target was going to
be Lane Kiffin, and then when LSU fired Brian Kelly,
it was clear their top target was going to be
Lane Kiffin. And meanwhile, Lane Kiffin is busy leading Ole
miss toward the playoff and so you knew this collision
course was coming. And it was really with two weeks

(16:26):
left in the season that we kind of figured out,
oh no, if they make the playoffs and he's not staying,
they're not gonna let him coach. And we talked to,
you know, a bunch of different ads and asked them, hey,
would you let your guy do this if he was
going from this school to this school and it matters
which school you're going to and which school you're coming from,

(16:48):
And every one of them said, there's no way. If
I was old, miss Ad, I would let the LSU
coach coach my team or the Florida coach coach my team.
And so we knew this was coming. I'd say it
exploded even more spectacus.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
Fully that I imagined it would, which is what you
assume is going to happen when Lane Kiffin is involved.
We'd like to, you know, blame something or someone, some entity,
some rules. What is it that we should probably focus
the most amount of blame. Is it just that that
schools are allowed to do this? Is that the problem?

Speaker 5 (17:20):
No, Lane Kiffen decided to do this, Okay, that's what
you should blame. He could have stayed at all Miss.
Nobody was holding him hostage, holding a gun to his head, saying,
decide you want to go to Florida or LSU.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
So he could have.

Speaker 5 (17:33):
Avoided all this by just staying in all Miss. So
he made a choice. And you can blame the calendar
if you want, but the calendar exists the way it
does because that's where the semester break is. The semester
break exists where it does because that's where Christmas is.
So basically, unless you want to overhaul the American Higher
Educational Systems calendar or move Christmas, I don't think you're

(17:55):
really going to get much change.

Speaker 6 (17:57):
Always great perspective Live from the airboat. Andy Staples on
the Betross and Moundy Show on a five seventy LA
Sports talking about the coaching Carassel very interesting in the SEC,
but it's not like everybody's got it figured out in
the big ten. What's going on with Penn State and
how come they can't find somebody to take their millions
and millions and millions of dollars.

Speaker 5 (18:19):
Do y'all remember that Tennessee search a few years ago? Yes,
that went absolutely crazy. So actually, so Mike Leach was
actually sitting, the late Great Mike Leach may he rest
in peace, was at a hotel in Marina del Rey
waiting for the Tennessee Ad to get there. I remember
my phone that I got it at four thirty am

(18:39):
Eastern time, the morning of the day he was supposed
to meet him, and it just says who the hell
is in charge there? And it turned out later that day.
Later that morning, the Tennessee AD was called back to
Knoxville and fired because of the way he was handling
that coaching search. And that's the one where they were
going to hire Greg Ciano. The fans revolted and then

(18:59):
they didn't hire. So Penn State Search is veering into
that passage and they've talked to a lot of people.
They just never have gotten down the road. It's that
they had focused their energies on Colonie Sataki at b Yu.
Kilanie was very clear with anybody who might have been
interested in him that he was not doing anything until

(19:22):
after this Big twelve championship game. And I suspect, I
don't know this for a fact, but I suspect if
BYU won, or if BYU just got into the College
Football Playoff without beating Texas Tech in this game, either way,
that Colonie was probably be like, no, never mind, I'm
just gonna stay at Uyu. So you're gonna have to
wait on him. And I don't think Penn State's willing

(19:43):
to wait at this point, because if you think about this,
when Lane made his decision, final, final, final decision on Sunday,
all the dominoes fell. Arkansas hit, Auburn hit, Florida hit.
That's what everybody was waiting for, clearly, and Penn State
was not in position to make a hire, had not
gotten down the road with anybody they really liked. And

(20:04):
I got to be honest with you, guys, if I'm
a coach, it's not just the mechanics of the search
that would bother me. It's following James Franklin would be
very difficult because they fired a guy who won thirteen
games last year. Yea, and you better come in and
make the playoff immediately and immediately compete for the Big
Ten title. There's more pressure on whoever gets that job

(20:27):
than there is on anybody getting any of these other jobs.

Speaker 3 (20:29):
Andy the.

Speaker 4 (20:31):
Well, we got Morris who's going to Oklahoma State, sum
Raw to Florida, and UCLA gets Chesney. It's you know,
I guess Summer is a little different than the other two.
But following the Signetti sort of plan, what can you
tell us about the guy that UCLA's getting and are
they just trying to get the next Signetti? Are these
three guys that are really good coaches and ready to
make the jump.

Speaker 5 (20:49):
So, Bob Saysney certainly took the Signetti route. Signetti's route
was Indiana University of Pennsylvania, which is amazing to me
that such a place exists. There's also a California universe
to Pensylvania, but he went Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Elon College,
James Madison as an SDS school, James Madison as a
the FBS school, and in Indiana Bob Chesney went even

(21:11):
further back. He was at a D three school, then
he was at a D two school called Assumption, he
was at holy Cross, which is an FDS school, and
then James Madison. So he's got the full Signette going on.
But he's been great everywhere. He's been great every year's coach.
He's won the league everywhere he's coached, and so when
he was at holy Cross, he's the best coach in
the Patriot League. Gets to James Madison immediately makes them competitive,

(21:35):
even though Signette had taken most of the good players
before last season. So they were competitive last year. This
year they're probably going to win the league. They're twenty
two and a half point favorites in the conference title game.
If Duke wins the ACC, James Madison's going to make
the playoff. So Jenney's having a hell of a year
and he's a very good coach. And you know, people
have known about him since he was in the SCS

(21:57):
and said this is this guy's going to be a star.

Speaker 6 (22:00):
We appreciate you coming on and enjoy the rest of
the college football season. Thanks for checking in with the
West Coast a great Andy Staples ladies and gentlemen. Andy Staples,

Speaker 3 (24:09):

Speaker 6 (24:13):
That's a pretty cool line too. It's time for the
Dead Guy Birthday of the Day.

Speaker 4 (24:18):
Matt Well, just to share a little anecdote about our
dead guy Birthday of the day.

Speaker 6 (24:24):
My well, you you're very little if you're not anecdotal.

Speaker 4 (24:28):
My oldest daughter and I were just talking about our
dead guy. Birthday of the day, Surrah, George Pierre Surrah.
Not that we routinely discuss post Impressionist French painters. Oh,
come on, man, But if she was staying back a
couple of days in Chicago. When I was leaving on
Friday and headed to the city, I mentioned, why not
hit up the Art Institute and check out the Sarah

(24:52):
because she was looking to do things indoors as the
weather was rather inclement full Bueler right. He would have
been one sixty sixth George. A Sunday afternoon on the
island of Lagrange Jatte.

Speaker 12 (25:07):
You see that Cameron's looking at the woman because he
doesn't have a mother, and then it goes it close
up on the child's face, and then his face, and
then closer and closer.

Speaker 4 (25:18):
Symbolism. People look deeper than just what the lines are.

Speaker 6 (25:23):
And that's a teenager spread. Okay, that's why we come
from a better generation.

Speaker 4 (25:28):
The scientific approach that Sarah took in creating changed painting,
changed modern art, kicked off the neo Impressionism era. He
is quite simply one of the most important painters and
an icon of the nineteenth century artists. I should say
I painted for a while. It was not very good
at it, which is why I was taken off of
paint and put back on the labor. He is an artist,

(25:52):
more importantly a hell of a mustache Beard Combo born.

Speaker 6 (25:55):
When you say you painted, you didn't have like the
thing with like a beret had like a studio.

Speaker 4 (26:01):
I had a paint can, yeah, and I had those
paint rags that don't work for s.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
Matt.

Speaker 4 (26:09):
You're just not good enough at tying in the corners.
What would I have to do? She's too You're too heavy.
She's too heavy with the brush. You know how to
tie it in? Go back downstairs and shovel the stone.
Born in Perry, father from Champan, had some money. His
mom was a Parisian, encouraged his love of drawing from
a young age. His formal art training began at the

(26:31):
Echo des Beaux ar when he was still a teenager,
and he wasn't into it because they wanted their students
to follow strict academic rules about how painting should look.
And he was into color and the science of color
and light and how humans perceived it. And he said
this my approach was the reverse of most artists.

Speaker 6 (26:54):
Instead of asking you know, if he's really that much
of an icon at leish you'd show him some respect.
I feel like I am how should the market like
the freaking skunk pabula?

Speaker 4 (27:04):
But that's where I learned my frons accents, uh, he said.
Instead of asking how should an artist paintings, he instead
asked how does the eye see these? Surah then went
about developing the painting technique we call point toism. Instead

(27:28):
of blending brushstrokes, which I was terrible at, Sarah built
his images from thousands of tiny dots of pure color.
He believed that when viewers stood back, their eyes would
mix the colors on their own, creating a brighter, more
vibrant effect than traditional blending could achieve.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
Depressing the hell out of cameraon.

Speaker 4 (27:45):
They all said, you're crazy, man, That ain't gonna work.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
Don't do it like that, Srah.

Speaker 4 (27:51):
The aforementioned a Sunday afternoon on the island of La
Garon Chepe took him over two years to finish. From
a distance, at first glance, it looks like a painting
of people relaxing in a park on the banks of
the Sean, But when you get closer it dissolves into
precise dots of color placed precisely, orderly, even mathematically.

Speaker 6 (28:09):
Yeah, like one of those Bob Marley posters and people's dorm.
That's like a big Bob Marley head, but when you
look closer, it's a bunch of little Bob Marley.

Speaker 4 (28:17):
Head Sarrah.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Right.

Speaker 4 (28:20):
The contrast between the peaceful scene the intense discipline behind
encapsulated Sarah himself quiet reserve, obsessively dedicated to his craft,
worked hours in solitude. He was not warmly received, the
critics didn't like it, but he was an artist's artist.
The younger generation, those looking to start a new movement

(28:42):
felt trapped imprisoned by the older conventions and traditions, used
his work as they're jumping off point important figure open
the door for the modern movements like cubism. You don't
have to imitate nature directly, kids, you can reinterpret it.

Speaker 6 (28:59):
Cubism very popular here at the station and involves creating
a snack area where everybody can snack, where Michelle Cube
overlooks it.

Speaker 4 (29:07):
Right, that's cubism.

Speaker 6 (29:09):
And as we mentioned, the most famous one, if you're
ever in Pringle.

Speaker 4 (29:17):
Got any beef jerky back there? That most famous workers
at the Art Institute for Visiting Chicago. I was just
visiting Peyton out in New York. The met has a
big Surrah room as well. There are a couple here

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.
