Speaker 1 (00:00):
Get the hell out of my way. It's One More.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Thing twice in one week. Katie led One More Thing podcast.
But before we get to that, I'm asking, well, did
you play anything in band, Katie?
Speaker 3 (00:16):
I wasn't in band, but I've played several instruments growing up.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Yeah, Michael, do you ever do band in school?
Speaker 4 (00:24):
No?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
I was just wondering last night as I was watching
the Christmas concert. My son is a tuba player and
he's not really into it, and a lot of the
kids don't look like they're that into it, and a
lot of Martin Urry, a lot of them have no
talent for it. What do you think the benefit is
of having kids be in band? I was in band
(00:46):
and I liked it. And I play a musical instrument
every single day. It's rare if I have a day.
I mean today, as a sixty year old, I play
something almost every single day. I love it. But what
do you think the advantage is? What's in it for
kids who are like they don't really have a talent
for it and they're not really into it, but they
do it anyway.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
I think there's an advantager. Science is rock solid that
is great for your brain, helps you with your math skills.
It gets all sorts of different parts of your brain
working together in a way that's really healthful.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Okay, that's a good one. I'll use that on my kid.
Anything else, do you think just like being well rounded
or anything like that?
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Maybe? I don't know. I don't know. I try to
avoid advocating stuff just because that's the way I rolled, right, Katie.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Sorry, the chicks think it's hot when they get older.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I tell Henry that all the time, because Henry does
have some talent for music I can tell, and plays
a little guitar. So, dude, this is gonna be the
best thing you've ever done if you keep up with this.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Although if all the girls are into the hippity hop music,
is that still true? I don't know. I don't have
a sense of that. Now.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
There's still plenty of singer songwriter stuff on the radio. Yeah,
and the country's huge, of course. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
To quote the great John Mellencamp, cut out all of
that macho shit and learn how to play guitar.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I've played that song before him. Yeah, what instruments did
you play, Kadio? I did not know this.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I played piano, violin flute, and then I taught myself
guitar later on in.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Life all past tense, Do you still play anything?
Speaker 3 (02:24):
I still play the guitar every now and then. I
should play it more, but cool. Yeah, I can't not
not play something. I need to every day or it
makes me very unhappy. It's just I'm driven to it.
For whatever reason.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
It does something for my brain or ability to check out.
I found I can't think about anything else when I'm
practicing music, so it just automatically makes me not think
about anything.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
My dad does that love that?
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Yeah, you know. It's funny because I play scales and
licks and stuff while I watch the news, because I
frequently find the news mostly tedious and depressing. But if
I'm concentrated, I realized I did not hear anything that
was just said. It obliterates everything else, which is what's
so healthy about it.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I think John Mayer is a big proponent of sitting
there with your guitar while you watch TV and just
kind of going through things kind of oh really, yeah,
gets in the back of your brain somehow.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
I wonder, Yeah, I would argue with that handsome devil.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
So what was your thing about? Get out of your
way or whatever? Katie get the hell out of my way.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
I say that to my dog half a dozen times
every single day.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Just get out of the way.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
My sweet friend just broke her ankle because her dog
got under her when she was going down some stairs.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Yeah, you know, I've always assumed that because Baxter is
half a herding dog, that that's part of it. But
he will see where you're going and and walk over
and stand there like he wants to heard you. And seriously,
half a dozen times a day, I say, would you
get the hell out of my way? Why did you
stand this is a doorway, I say, looking at him.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
It's just so excited to do whatever you're doing.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Yeah, I guess he's a good fellow.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Uh So my intro was about the other day at
the grocery store. And I don't know why, but I
hate little things more than I hate the grocery store.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I hate going in there.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
I just like to go in, I know what I'm getting,
get my stuff, get out.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
And so I'm going to get the coffee.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
And I noticed like a couple of people kind of
standing as if they were waiting to get into the aisle,
and I'm like, oh God, okay, of course of course
this is happening on the aisle.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I need to go down. The reason they were.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Doing that is because this chick that was probably maybe
late twenties at I kid you not, had a camera
set up on a shopping cart and was doing a
TikTok dance and no one was telling her to move.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Wow, my god, shame I wasn't there.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Oh I wish I think we're all figuring.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
God, why doesn't that happen to me?
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Yeah, it would have.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Been a different type of video if I was there.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Oh well, and I'm sitting there and I'm watching her,
and she didn't have the camera facing like we the
group was not standing behind her.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
If I had been in shot, this would be a
completely different broadcast. But it was away from us and
just complete disregard for the fact. I mean, there was
this sweet little old lady who was probably in her
mid eighties, like just trying to get her tea, you know,
and she's sitting there doing this stupid f and dance
and finally.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
This big, burly cowboy dude went.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Hey, move, good job, burly cowboy dude.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
But it was just I mean, I don't I don't understand.
I've had a moment of like, where am I? How
did I end up here?
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Where I am?
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Stopped at a grocery aisle because a woman is dancing
to a camera.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah, I can see how a lot of kindly older
people would think I need to stay out of their way.
They're doing something.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Yeah, there were three people just waiting for her to
People lack the confidence to say what clearly needs to
be said.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Yeah, you know, it's it's funny. I I was thinking
what I was about to say is such a truism,
But then I realized, No, I think the vast majority
of the population, especially younger, younger people, have never heard this.
I was gonna say, Katie, what is required of good
people for evil to triumph? They're silence.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
That's all this requested.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Would you don't let the evil of TikTok dancing clog
the grocery aisles of our society? Say something? What would
you have said, you dumb mother? No, I just excuse me,
just pushed past.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
I was too deeply, too deep in the line to
do that.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
But and it was also the fact that that this
wasn't a teenager, which I mean, even if it was
a teenager, it would have been annoying, but it would
have been like, Okay, they're dumb. You know, this woman's
frontal lobe is fully developed, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah, I think I would have just walked to whatever
product I need to get and shop. I would have
just shopped like I was normally gonna shop. And if
we end up in the same space, excuse me, not lucky.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Yeah, carts in my way, excuse me, excuse me, I
gotta get by you.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Thanks, right where I needed to be, of course, and
I stood.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
I stood there like an ass I was like, I
think it was because my brain didn't really understand what
was happening.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Right. That's funny, isn't that when that sort of thing
happens in life that you think it's so weird you
don't like have a I think psychologists would tell you
you don't have a script for it, which is the
psychological You walk into a church, for instance, if you've
ever been in churches, you know how to act, you
know what is where and roughly what's going on. If
you go, like to a Catholic church as a Protestant,
(07:51):
your script is a little bit off and you have
to adjust it. And that sort of thing if you
try to go down a grocery all if somebody's doing
a TikTok dance, you don't really have a script for that.
You got entirely ad lib the whole thing. And yeah,
I get it. There's a moment of a right, wait
a minute, this is so weird. What do we do?
Speaker 5 (08:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
I totally had that, And well, now that I'm seasoned,
I'll just knock her out next time.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Speaking of TikTok, it's like when the guy did the
splits and ate the the entire raw egg in front
of that yes, exactly boiled egg. It's like I didn't
I didn't react the way I wish I would have
reacted because it was a little cognitive dissonance going on.
Because I do not have a script for somebody doing
the splits, getting lower and lower, pulling a full hard
boiled egg out of their backpack, and then eating it
(08:32):
in front of me.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
I didn't know what to do performance art. Yeah, I
found out that that guy does that. That's his thing.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
That's his thing all the time.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Yeah, I wonder how we.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Came up with that.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Here's what how many iterations he went through? You know,
I'm gonna squat and uh and munch on a nice
ripe slice of watermelon. No, that's not really good.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
It'll lay on my back and eat sardines.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
No better if I do splits and eat sardines. Now,
that's still not think.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I see that guy around town now, and then I
think I wish he'd come over now because I got
a bit of the jerk store calling her out of you.
I mean, I got I'm ready to talk to him now,
but he's gonna end up stalking the guy just hoping
he does it again. Hey, buddy, how you doing. You
got any like weird skills or anything.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
Katie, I'm surprised that you just didn't go pick up
your product and just maybe put a couple of dance
moves on video right along with her.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
You know, I join in and catch her again. I'll
show her a dance move.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Her Blewie. Well, I guess that's it.
Get the hell out of my way. It's One More.

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.
