Speaker 1: Miranda like presents as mommy, but it's actually baby's baby.
Speaker 1: She's she a me, no me, not my name, yo,
Speaker 1: yo yo, what is your child?
Speaker 2: I am a cook yo. Life's going down before like.
Speaker 1: Round Welcome to like a Virgin the And just like
Speaker 1: that recap series where we sign Michael Patrick King's death warrant,
Speaker 1: I'm Rose dam you and I'm.
Speaker 2: Fran Dorato, I will say I think something that I
Speaker 2: figured out about myself and how I'm consuming the show
Speaker 2: is there's kind of a dif. There's like two different
Speaker 2: reactions that I can have to literally anything that happened
Speaker 2: on and just like that, either I am lolling because
Speaker 2: I'm earnestly entertained and engaged by the thing that is happening,
Speaker 2: which just happened with a lot of like Charlotte moments
Speaker 2: in the show. The show obviously still has a lot
Speaker 2: of really good one laners and moments where I'm like, haha,
Speaker 2: that's funny, and then we have the hysterical and loudest
Speaker 2: laughter at what are some of the worst things I've
Speaker 2: ever heard on the screenwriting level, And one of them
Speaker 2: this episode was Aiden saying well he had psilocybin in
Speaker 2: his system.
Speaker 1: Oh god, where could a fourteen year old even get
Speaker 1: magic mushrooms? Like literally probably from someone younger than him,
Speaker 1: like and who calls them magic mushrooms?
Speaker 2: And the fact that like I just have to say
Speaker 2: about this moment so maddening and and shows the ass,
Speaker 2: shows the ass of the writers on this show under
Speaker 2: like the fact that psilocybin, when it was in his
Speaker 2: system introduced on the plot level as something that is
Speaker 2: heightening the stakes of Aiden's relationship to his kids and
Speaker 2: whether or not he's going to like stay with carry whatever.
Speaker 2: It's like, Oh, he had mushrooms in a system. Mushrooms
Speaker 2: psilocybin something that has been like widely approved by the
Speaker 2: FDA and doctor is something that literally is less dangerous
Speaker 2: than a lot of the other drugs and things that
Speaker 2: like they do on this show and that kids can do.
Speaker 2: It is like far and beyond one of like it
Speaker 2: was so it was just hilarious to me. I was
Speaker 2: like the fact that the writers are like, Oh, what's
Speaker 2: a crazy drug psilocydo?
Speaker 1: Why wasn't he doing like black tar heroin? Yeah, why
Speaker 1: wasn't doing meth? Honestly, Like literally it could have just
Speaker 1: been like it could have just been coke, like could yeah.
Speaker 1: They were like, oh drank He drank a beer and
Speaker 1: was micro saying like oh it's it's it's like Evan
Speaker 1: Rachel Wood and thirteen. We gotta get this kid under control.
Speaker 1: You have no bra, no panties.
Speaker 2: He drank some beer, pop some psilocybin gummies like at
Speaker 2: a point zero one like milligram level, and therefre was
Speaker 2: in a system. Sorry, hate to break it to you.
Speaker 2: People are drinking a few beers and micro dosing mushrooms
Speaker 2: and operating heavy machinery every day, like.
Speaker 1: Every day heavy machinery like this, dick.
Speaker 2: It's just hilarious, Like sorry, Like honestly, people like producers
Speaker 2: like engineers, scientists, doctors, working professionals, people who have nine
Speaker 2: to five's are all of them are drinking a beer
Speaker 2: and and taking a psilocybin gummy and still doing exactly
Speaker 2: what they need to do that day.
Speaker 1: It is, Brad, let's let's slow down.
Speaker 2: Bit.
Speaker 1: You're like, you're like, so, what of the bus drivers
Speaker 1: like slammed a couple of white claws like whatever, But
Speaker 1: that is no girl.
Speaker 2: But I'm if the bus driver had two beers and
Speaker 2: also had a psilocybin. Gummy the bus still do his
Speaker 2: job like fully, but.
Speaker 1: We don't have to say it's one thing, it's one thing.
Speaker 1: There's these are two different things. Like it's okay for
Speaker 1: a fourteen year old to get a little crunk on
Speaker 1: the weekend, it's not necessarily okay for like anyone in
Speaker 1: the world to be wasted while they're doing their jobs. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's well, I'm obviously it was implied, I am obviously
Speaker 1: being facetious.
Speaker 2: But it's just like it is just like it's kind
Speaker 2: of like the sorry, I didn't even ask you if
Speaker 2: it's okay to call you an envy person. It's like
Speaker 2: it's like, girl, like, these are not things. It's just
Speaker 2: like another I'm haunted by.
Speaker 1: It's just another thing we're really mad about that.
Speaker 2: Girl, Like you do not know anything about people under
Speaker 2: the age of forty five, and that is kinds of
Speaker 2: writing about these people. Anyways. I just I lost my
Speaker 2: shit when he said, yeah, just a little Simon in
Speaker 2: his system. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I'm sure we could rant forever about the different
Speaker 1: things in this episode that we hated, but I do
Speaker 1: I know we're pretty free for among these recaps. But like,
Speaker 1: just like to introduce a wee bit of structure, like,
Speaker 1: how did you feel generally about this finale?
Speaker 2: I felt, because we're using I feel statements, I felt like,
Speaker 2: as I said earlier, there was nothing really surprising about
Speaker 2: the finale. I obviously thoroughly enjoyed the Samantha moments. I
Speaker 2: also thought that the final scene of the actual show,
Speaker 2: which is her and Seema on a beach in Greece
Speaker 2: being like, who cares if our men ever come back
Speaker 2: to us? They're like, you know what I mean? That
Speaker 2: is a wonderful finale moment. Like I liked that as
Speaker 2: a polish, as a polishing off to the to the season.
Speaker 2: I thought it was so true to the spirit of
Speaker 2: Sex and the City. But when I said earlier, very
Speaker 2: flagrantly that Sex and the City two is better than
Speaker 2: all of it jets like that, I really do mean it.
Speaker 2: Like there's just nothing whack, Like there's nothing off the rocker,
Speaker 2: there's nothing crazy, there's nothing surprising, there's nothing deranged. There's
Speaker 2: nothing in this show that has like that's that has teeth,
Speaker 2: And I think that I'm frustrated by that over and
Speaker 2: over again. What about you, how psychotic are you feeling
Speaker 2: after watching the finale.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean that's a loaded question. I literally started
Speaker 1: prose that yesterday. I will say, the most shocking thing
Speaker 1: in this episode, even more so than Annabel Bronstein and
Speaker 1: the other thing that made me scream was in carrying
Speaker 1: aid and sex scene. At the end, Carrie had sex
Speaker 1: without a bra on which she's never done. That was
Speaker 1: literally in Sarah Jessica Parker's contract for the original run
Speaker 1: of Sex in the City, and we saw Sarah Jessica
Speaker 1: Parker's side boob. If you want to hear all of
Speaker 1: our thoughts about men just like that, go to patreon
