Key Highlights:
KT introduces the game and immediately sparks chaos with rules no one can agree on.
Skin dominates early, but not before Krystina nails a surprise Coldplay clue.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Radiohead return cut reminds me of some bad news

(00:03):
for Radiohead fans. Apparently Tom York has a throat infection
and is going to miss some shows in Europe. We
actually have some friends that were going to the Berlin shows.
Now they're just the Denmark shows. But hopefully that doesn't
last too long because so many people were excited that
Radiohead was finally doing shows again. All right, it's been
and skin Show ninety seven point one the Eagle KT.

(00:26):
We're gonna play a brand new game show, at least
it's new to our show, and I'll let you take
over from here.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
I've been sitting on this for a while.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
So I've got a friend who I met through a friend,
and his name is Brian bin Cardi. It seems unnecessary
Brian being Cardi is a comedian, so if you ever
see that he's playing a show, go see him.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
All right, But he also.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Made a game at this website where you can kind
of make your own games, which I've looked into a
little bit. He is a card game and it's called
Name that Headline. So the way it works is all
these cards have decade on them and you can just
go through it and if you're playing this, let's describe
it as US three playing. We're all gonna get to play, okay.

(01:08):
You take a decade, okay, and you just draw the card.
In the middle of the card will be the answer
as well as concert details. Who opened for who, okay,
and then everyone else will get We'll say a minute
or forty five seconds, maybe thirty seconds to shout it
out free reign. And then once you get it, whoever

(01:29):
gets at the fastest or can finally get their wins.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
So the year is the two thousands.

Speaker 3 (01:34):

Everyone's got to give.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Everyone's got to give at some point.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Everyone's got to be a giver, all right, Okay, Can
I offer an amendment to this please? If you do
not get it in thirty seconds, the person can give
you one clue, So if you get it right in
thirty seconds, can get three points.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
If you get it right with the clue, you get
one point.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
That's too complicated, okay, unless he's keeping score.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
It doesn't seem like it's that complicated.

Speaker 4 (02:06):
If you want to keep score, go for it.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
Okay, there's if no one has it, didn't give the clue,
and you still get the point. I'm still not sure

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.
