Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dude, is there a dead body in here? It's one
more thing, one more thing. Ah, before we get to that,
there's sights and sounds here from Milwaukee and kind of
the sea behind the scenes of the just being here
and traveling around, getting around and all that sort of stuff.
We're staying at a hotel way too far away. Yeah,
(00:20):
that's part of the problem. Truly unhandy, and it's added
to my fatigue, which is right now for some reason
that overwhelmed me. Just crashed the minute the show is over.
I just crashed. My metabolism is below that of Joe Biden.
It's post mortem.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Have you eaten? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Yeah, I had my usual like protein bar, and then
I've been eating these cheese crackers got cheese in.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Them quote unquote cheese.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Sir, Let me look at the package here, uh, Lance
Captain Wafers. I just I don't know if that's the
fuel you need for your body, cream cheese and chives.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
I just feel terrible. Yeah, that was a good boy
last night too. I do know what's going on, and
as well get hammered. I guess that's the that's the
takeaway from this. So our hotel's out by the airport,
which is not that far away.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
It's like seven miles or something like that.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
It's with normalish traffic, twenty minutes maybe, but like it
took some people two hours to get inside the bubble
last night from that hotel because of security and all
that sort of stuff. And I don't mind the hotel.
It's a Best Western is that what it is? Holiday
in holiday in Yeah, similar sort of thing. Express and
a number of people have apologized to us about the hotel.
(01:32):
Not perfectly fine with the hotel. That's you know, I've
lived my life staying in hotels like Colleen, and something's fine,
perfectly fine. I'm gonna sleep there. It's all I need.
I don't need a nicer hotel. I anyone that's closer.
But anyway, so we've been taking a number of lifts
and ubers and everything like that.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
I took an Uber last night. Brace yourselves, folks.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
First of all, every Uber driver I've had, and I've
had a half dozen now, all speak English.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
They're like born and raised in Wisconsin.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
This is the first place I've been that that has
been the case in a couple of years.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Everywhere else I go Vegas, Phoenix, like everywhere I've been,
it's been all people from another country.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
He didn't speak a word of English right Like entirely
I've had the same experience. One guy fairly accented, but
he was a friendly chap, quite quite nice. My first
left driver guy had a Milwaukee Brewer's hat and jersey
on Austin. It was like he walked right off the
field and decided to pick up a couple extra bucks
driving for one of the car services.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
But great guy. We talked about baseball. It was terrific.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I'm not anti people coming from this land and getting jobs,
but it's great talking to a guy I grew up
in Milwaukee about Milwaukee.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I mean, I just I like that anyway. So I
get in this uber last night.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
And it smelled so gross, and I can't put my
finger on what the smell was, but it was like
a gallon of milk that had gone bad and exploded.
Or he lost his cat a week ago and I
think I found it a set oh fluffy, or he
(03:07):
had actually crapped himself. Only these are the only options
that would fit with the way that smelled.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Did you open the window or something?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
This is I'm on the I am on the borderline
of Pukeville right now. You know I didn'ts I didn't
open the window because it was raining. Otherwise, Yeah, I
would have done that immediately.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
I mean, it was.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
People who haven't done some of the things I've done
in my life. I've done some disgusting jobs in my life.
If you haven't done some of the disgusting things I've
done in my life, you might have not gotten in
that car.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
You might have actually said I'll wait for the next one.
I mean, it was that bad.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Did it hit you as soon as you opened the door?
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Did you immediately immediately?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
And my my actually, among my first thoughts was this
is only like a five minute ride because I wasn't
going very far, or I would have to get out.
I was afraid I was going on chunder and that
wouldn't have help the smell.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I might actually might have. Wow, Now that is a
measure of how bad something is. If puke improves it
a decent chance that my vomit would have made it
smell better in there.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Yeah, I have dodged that sort of bullet, although I
did have one. Gal In her defense, oh, it was
four thirty in the afternoon, she said she started driving
at five thirty, so she was eleven hours in. She
was so tired she missed three out of four directions
on her navigation system. It would tell her turn right,
and four tens of miles, three tenths of mile, two
tents of miles, she'd still be in the left had
(04:32):
and finally at one tenth of a mile, let's say,
are we supposed to turn right here?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
And she'd be like, what, oh, oh.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Oh, I'll have to make a U turn And that happened,
no kidding three times. I never pay attention to what
my driver's doing. I'm always looking at my phone and
stuff like that. I never have any idea what my
driver's doing.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
So you're looking for the dead cat.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I would be in eastern Minnesota right now calling in
if I had not paid attention to what she was doing.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
But so, what do you think the smell was in
that car? Well? What, there aren't that many possibilities, are there, right?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I'm thinking that the guy's, you know, really hustling to
make a living. He's uh, cut out a hole of
the driver's seat and he just lets it go. Wiley
drives now and it's like an old style out house. Yeah,
that's not what it smelled like. We all know what
that smell is. Uh, do you remember Stinky Randy. Yes,
(05:25):
Joe and I worked our first job together in Wichita, Kansas.
There was a guy who worked tonight that we call
Stinky Randy.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Try to guess why. He also wore a weird helmet.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Like in what do you call those hats that you'd
wear like on the out in the out back of Australia,
a pith.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
It's not a pith helmet.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
It was a hard helmet like with a chin strap,
which he would strap before he went and got in
his car. Yeah, in case of something I can't imagine,
in case he needed to take photos of a rhinoces.
It looked like it looked like he was on safari.
But he smelled bad in a very unique way. That's
(06:04):
the last time I smelled that smell. This guy, which
I've always assumed was dissolving bodies. He Oh, he had
so many issues.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Well, if it's comparable to that, it sounds like it
might have been a hygiene issue.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yeah, this guy so and then what was what was
the name of the really really cute single mom we
worked with. I know her name, but I don't know
if I want to say it out loud, she might
still be in the business in Wichita and we're on
in Wichita.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Well, how about Randy, that's right, What the hell.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Dude, Randy's got a helmet. He'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
She was nice, though he was he was okay, she'll
just call her aenonymous. People should be alerted to him.
She was very nice. She was cute as a button
and stank like a horse. I mean, oh god, she
was our newsgirl.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
And she was from the early twenties in mid twenties,
and like would wear cut off jean shorts and a
tight T shirt. And she was crazy hot, very nice.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Oh a sweetheart. Yeah, but did smell like a horse.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
See I have I had a friend that was cute
as a button and all of that, and she reeked,
but it was her breath constantly like the scond she
opened her mouth.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
So unless so, this is like a rebellious hippie that
just won't wear deodorant.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
This guy, white guy, incredibly pale, frail, pale guy, and
he had the Jeffrey Dahmer vibe.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Not kidding.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
And because of those constant obviously I'm connecting all those
dots Dahmer was and I watched that mini series, so
I just.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
He had the Dahmer vibe. He was very weird. He
didn't engage in any conversation.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
I kind of tried, and he wouldn't talk, and just
he was he was hoping that I passed.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Out and he was going to dissolve me in his garage.
I think was.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I don't know, Well, it's worth worth hoping for you
if you get one out of ten, you know. I
was thinking I would hit on him and he'd slip
me a Bill Cosby drink. And I don't know what
was going on with so the Lee Greenwood just sat
down right next to us to do an interview again.
I encountered Lee Greenwood in the bathroom and I tried
to start. I thought I should have started a humming
(08:08):
his song to see if I could get him to sing.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
It for me. Yeah, I guess for him debate.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Yeah, I need an age on Lee Greenwood. I can't
say it out loud because he's right next to me. Katie,
can you look on Lee Greenwood's age eighty one?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Because yeah, he's like, okay, Mom's agent, tell you what
he's doing? Great for Addy. He's Joe Biden's age.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
He's the same age as Joe Biden. There you go.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I'll tell you this loud enough for him to hear it,
because he's right here. He sounded freaking fantastic last night.
Nailed it live on stage, and he was like taking
it up an octave on some of you know your
choruses toward the end.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
That was impressive. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Yeah, a great singer and a great America only steps
away from us. And the greatest thing that ever happened
to him was Trump deciding to make that song the
the Oh. I guess that one further back though, because
remember after nine to eleven, George W. Bush, we were
at an event where they played that, So it's been
going for longer than that.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Yeah, it's an unofficial national anthem.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
He used to be if you don't know, I can't
I can't see him. He's over He's over my shoulder,
so Joe's looking at him. He was because you don't
know country music. I worked at a country music station
when that was the number one song in the country
in eighty five or something like that. I mean that's
way back. He was like a super sex symbol in
country music. I mean he was like the hot dude.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
I'm seeing pictures of him from back then. Good looking guy.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yeah yeah, exactly. That was his thing.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
His ex wife, loyal listener to the show, at least
back in the day. Yeah, she used to drop us
back when the song first was Do you remember it surged?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Because I'm gonna yell it over. I don't know, you remember, remember?
I could?
Speaker 1 (09:43):
I think our old email address still exists. I could
do a search, but I'm not going to.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
No.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I mentioned and I get him on the show. He's
so angry at her. Still, he's happy to talk about
her with their friends again.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
That happens. That happens sometimes too. Either way, I'm not
going to tell you. All right, all right, is right?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Well I guess that well, I guess that's it.
Dude, is there a dead body in here? It's one
more thing, one more thing. Ah, before we get to that,
there's sights and sounds here from Milwaukee and kind of
the sea behind the scenes of the just being here

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.
