That's right, 0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:28.960 that's the corect answer. That's right. Okay, well, definitely not Charlotte. Okay, 0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:35.440 love you bye, love you by John Donna. John, Dump dump, 0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:49.360 don don't dump, don't I'm a finished Rose. You're putting 0:00:49.360 --> 0:01:10.200 this in serious legal tuba dum dude, du dude, dude. Well, 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:12.120 it sounds like we have our new theme music that 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:20.160 you're looking for. Honestly, I feel like I'm giving day 0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:25.480 Kim control. We are invoking your name today. You are 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:28.680 with us in spirit now that you have passed on 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:31.160 to the other world. No, I'm just saying like, I 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:34.040 want her energy around me. Dumb bitch as unite, right, 0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:36.280 But social culturally, a lot of people are treating her 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:39.760 like she's dead, which I'm sure she would appreciate because not. 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:43.280 Samantha is the one that figured it out, both in 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:47.000 the show and in real life. She was like, oh, 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:51.040 there's actually huge toxicity and dysfunctionality to this friend group, 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:54.080 and I'm out, Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves. 0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:58.080 Let's take a little trip to New York City, a 0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:00.480 New York city that like definitely isn't the real New 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:03.360 York snow but not based in any sort of reality. Um, 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:08.280 and we're going to talk about Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha. 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:11.760 We're not talking about Charlotte. We will have anything to say. 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:14.120 I will talk about Charlotte and her shiny shiny hair 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:16.640 of course. Um, this is like a Virgin the show 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:20.760 where we give yesterday's pop culture today's takes. I'm Rose 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:25.160 Damo and I'm fran Toronto. Unlike Carrie, who only was 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:27.320 ever thinking about what was going on in her life, 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:29.480 let's think about what's going on in the world right now. 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:31.600 And you know, it's good look at what's going on 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:38.280 in pop culture. The biggest thing I think this week 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:44.920 was Spotify wrapped hit Yes, the breaking news of Spotify wrapped, 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:48.160 and watching so many of my ex funk buddies post 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.880 about the fact that they again, for the third year 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:53.480 in a row, we're in the top point five percentile 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:57.760 of Ariana Grande listeners. Very so grateful to know that 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.920 my top five artists this year were no surprised to me. 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:06.240 Number one Taylor Swift, obviously Taylor Allison Swift. Say her name, 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:09.320 I keep forgetting Her middle name is Alison. That's so jarring. 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:13.200 Number two was Lord, No surprise there. I love Lord. 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:14.800 She had a new album come out this year, and 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:16.520 you and I had the same number one and number 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:19.800 two arts. I listened to her a lot that that tracks. 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:25.240 Number three Kate Bush, Yes, God, I listened. I mean 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:27.880 Kate Bush is one of my favorites of all time, 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:31.720 and I do listen to her all the time. Number 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:35.400 four Livia Rodrigo Sour was big this year for me. 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:38.440 Number five Phoebe Bridgers. This was the year that I 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:41.960 became a Phoebe Bridgers stand What what are Bridgers stands called? 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:48.160 I don't know, little little skeletons, corpses. Yeah, well I'm 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:50.200 sure there's a stand name. Have you seen Have you 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:52.880 heard that TikTok sound where it's like someone who anytime 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:55.800 they see someone as a skeleton, they're like, Phoebe, you 0:03:55.920 --> 0:04:01.360 are sick and you are married. So top artists obviously 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:05.000 are all thematically linked and that they're all women. They 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:07.640 all make like a very kind of, you know, personal 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:11.200 kind of music. I also subscribed to the exact same 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:15.920 genre of music, which is soft spoken like alt girls 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:20.720 who love writing songs about personal growth, girls that love therapy, 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:22.680 you know what I mean. So who are your Who 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:25.240 are your artists? So my top artists were Taylor Swift 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:27.800 in Lord's Same as You, then Phoebe as a as 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:31.360 a number three coming in Hot, and then I did 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.279 listen to Kasey mus Graves quite a lot this year, 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:37.560 but I will say that it was more of continual 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:41.600 re listening of Golden Hour and maybe not as much 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:45.080 of the new album, which I still loved, but you know, 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.200 it had its hits and its misses. It was it 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:50.559 was mostly okay. I don't know this for a fact, 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:52.920 but I would also wager that m part of the 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:56.400 reason She's in my top five is because I really 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.840 love the song from her Christmas special gliter E, which 0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:02.120 she does with choice of and I'm not even a 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:04.359 choice of on stand but the song is a really 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:06.680 good well you are sick in the head, I'm sick 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:09.200 in the head. So wait. So in my fifth was 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:12.599 Billie Eilish. Interesting, Well we can talk about it. Let's 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:14.520 talk about it. Well, I'm curious to know I'm not 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:17.839 a little eyelash. I you know, I have grown. I 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.400 like her, but I just don't like her that much. 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:24.120 So Taylor was your top artist, Taylor was my top artist. 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:26.599 What was your most listen to Taylor song? It was 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:29.799 Ivy at the number two underneath Moon Song. My top 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:32.680 song of the year was Kyoto by Phoebe Bridgers, which 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:36.440 I love because Boebe sings with kind of like a 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:44.239 lockjaw and so it's like a do youen Kyoto before seven? 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:48.960 Like she has her jaw wire chut but is singing 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:51.480 through it. And I, you know, as much as I 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:57.080 loved Solar Power, Soila solo Pala really brought me back 0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:00.560 to melodrama, which all leudes back to melo drama. I 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:03.920 all wrote. I'm ashamed to say when it first came out, 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:06.719 I didn't love it, and so I never really gave 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:09.120 a trail. Okay, I'm thinking of The Love Club the 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:12.080 Love Club EP. When that came out, I just had 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:14.840 an idea of what I wanted Lord to be, and 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:18.200 so when it went into Jack Antonovs territory. I felt 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:21.599 like it wasn't my music anymore, and in hindsight, like 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:23.680 I don't think that I was thinking about it in 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:25.640 a very well rounded way and also didn't really know 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:28.960 who Jack Antonoff was. But I basic all I'm trying 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.839 to say, if we need to give him a break, 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.800 the girls need to like take his cock cage off 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:37.719 and give him like a year or two to to 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:41.200 get the creative juices like refilled one, especially since I 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:44.280 don't really feel like his imprint was really on Solar 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:47.160 Power at all. Like I feel like Lord really drove 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:50.200 all of the album and pushed him. I I hear 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:53.080 it a lot on songs like um Fallen Fruit was 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.480 is maybe my favorite song on the album, and I 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:59.320 think like that the instrumentals and the harmonies on that, 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:03.039 to me, you sound like very Jock anton Off. Anyways, 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:06.800 Basically I discovered melodrama and Solar Power this year, which 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:09.680 is why Lord is a great second. You know who 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:13.040 else I think needs a little break culturally is lin 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:18.480 Manuel Miranda, who um you know, love love him, has 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.200 made a cool body of work. He's like very polarizing 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:24.680 to some people, I think to the gay Yeah, but 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:29.680 we saw Encanto on a Friday, which I loved. I 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:33.600 thought it was a great movie. Did not love the music. 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:36.800 UM did not also love, hate to say it, the 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:41.120 vocal ability in the movie. I felt like the voicing 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:45.480 was perfect, characterization perfect, the vocal ability not. Therefore, what 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:48.040 were media song? Well, you know, these aren't the days 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:54.400 where you, you know, hire celebrity to voice a Disney 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:56.200 character and then I have someone else sing the song. 0:07:57.120 --> 0:08:00.360 You know, you have someone do it all right, and 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:04.400 not everyone can hit the notes find the note. I also, 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:08.360 I mean, I appreciated what felt like maybe an intentionality 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:11.880 to give slightly raw vocals, like there was pretty much 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:17.960 nor raw. There was like nor the raw jar, there 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:20.200 was no there was no auto tune. I don't think 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.440 or what I detected, I didn't hear auto. That was 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:25.480 not one of the magical powers they had. For those 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:27.280 of you that haven't seen, we're not going to spoil 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:31.240 anything but the premises. It's like a family in Colombia that, 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:34.120 um all, every member of the family kind of possesses 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:39.320 these kind of little mystical powers. Um that all come 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:41.640 down to like this magical candle that they have that 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:44.480 keeps this like living breathing house. It's it's a magical 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:47.880 dipteak candle. It's a magical dipta. It's a birato candle, 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:53.120 and it burns forever, it burns forever. Um, and this 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:56.280 it was other outside of so we lead with the 0:08:56.760 --> 0:09:00.360 negative critique, but overall you and I loved the movie. 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:03.920 We've sobbed. So I will say it. The film had 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:06.600 kind of an abrupt ending and I did leave the 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:09.880 theater with my face still went from my tear phenomen 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:12.680 I have to say excited for Incanto two. I don't 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.240 want to spoil the movie, but I will say also 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:18.320 a beautiful meditation on what it means to you know, 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:21.800 upgrade your home, to stop buying Ikea furniture and to 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:26.720 start investing in the Urban outfitters catalog, perhaps the Junglow 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:29.760 line at Target. Um, it's about what it means to 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:33.160 one up your interior design. I think that was I 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:35.480 love that for you as someone who doesn't own any 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:39.360 furniture from outfitters, as someone who doesn't own any furniture period. 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:44.040 That is true. Um. But I am, you know right 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:46.640 now consuming a lot of Christmas things like I'm trying 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:49.440 to get you to watch twelve Dates of Christmas? Would 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.080 you like, are kind of refusing to watch? I'm not refusing, 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:55.440 I'm just I have it's what. It's a watch season 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:57.080 right now. Maybe a lot of things on my play, 0:09:57.160 --> 0:10:00.920 But baby girl, we the way we loved fun Boy Island, 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:05.040 and this is twelve Days of Christmas is funck Boy 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:08.280 Island mixed with the bisexual season of Are You the 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:11.960 one mixed with Love? Actually a little more pan sexual. 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.160 But yeah, I understood what you were saying. All I've 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:15.800 been able to think about while I'm looking at you 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:19.400 is how cozy your skims already looks. I do not 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:23.320 want you have to get over this because you keep 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:26.040 like talking about skims. It's as if it's like this 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:29.160 dirty secret you have but you every time you buy 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:31.720 a new item, you tweet about it and they're like, 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.160 oh my god, l O L no, I but another skim. 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:38.320 It's like, girl, just accept it. You love kim crash 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:43.160 your skim an you're a skimmy stuff. I do you 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:45.800 not a skimfluencer because they haven't sent you anything for free? Well, 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:48.800 they famously do, not Like there are no skim slundcers. 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:51.600 There's no, but they're there, but they're like actual, like 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:55.640 famous people. But I do think I might need to 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:59.520 get that sweatshirt. It looks stream right. You should, you 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:03.280 should get it. Get it. Um speaking of Cozy, I've 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:05.839 been listening to a lot of Christmas music lately and 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:09.040 I feel like, um, you have really told, like been 0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:12.640 sending me everything. Kelly Clarkson this sea there is there 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:16.000 is a new Queen of Christmas. I'm not saying like 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:19.480 she's coming from Mariah No, no, no no, I'm not saying 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:23.120 that right, it's the undisputed Queen of Christmas. But I 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:25.679 have known for years that Kelly Clarkson was a voice 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:29.240 in this space quite literally. Um. I love Wrapped in 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:32.480 Red and Underneath the Tree I think is one of 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:36.400 the best contemporary Christmas pop songs. But Kelly Clarkson is 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:39.280 coming really hard for the Christmas season this year, you know, 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:42.240 because she has a new Christmas album out. She did 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:45.600 a song with Ari question Mark. Yeah, there's a there's 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:49.640 a song on her album which is called Um Santanta, 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:51.640 Can't you hear Me? Santa? Can't you hear Me? It 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:55.680 is a bob oh. And also she just covered seven 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:59.760 Rings on her talk show What Yes Wait it's so 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:02.480 she ate, she ate. But the thing is she does that. 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:05.200 She can do that till literally any song she does. 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:07.160 That's what she does every day on her show. She 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:09.280 would do that. She covers a song on her show 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:13.160 every day. I've never watched her show, but like the 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:17.240 most annoying, Like what's like the most annoying song, like 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:20.160 Felice Navidad? Like that song sucks. And I say that 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:25.079 as as a lad person, I think it's fun. Felice Navidad. 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:29.440 That is the most annoying Christmas song, point blank period. Anyways, 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:33.400 I love this for Kelly. I feel like, um, the 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:36.280 thing that makes seven rings is the fact that Ariana 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:39.440 Grande does not enunciate a single word. And Kelly Clarkson 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:42.679 is a theater girl, and so she will give you 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:46.440 you know what to do to die today? And lyrics 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:50.000 are important, as I was reminded this week when I, 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:53.600 out of curiosity, listened to Joshua Bassett's new song do 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:56.439 you know who Joshua Bassett is? I remember him as 0:12:56.760 --> 0:13:01.640 the full subject matter of Hour You're right he is 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:05.760 the subject. He is the uh co star of Olivia's 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:09.640 from High School Musical, The musical, the series um who 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:13.040 she dated, and it is widely known is the breakup 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:18.360 that inspired sour and like most famously Driver's License and 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:23.760 trader Um. He dropped like an ep I. Guess this week. 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:26.160 I only listened to one song because I heard it 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:29.640 was like the song that was about Olivia and it's 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:34.880 called it's called crisis, and the first lyric and it 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:37.880 is my My label said to never waste a crisis. 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:42.000 So it's kind of all about like using pain for 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:47.680 profit in the music industry. On Wednesday, Okay, sorry, honey, 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:50.840 you wasted the crisis. This happened months and months ago, 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:55.920 like he did not, but it's still like it was trending, 0:13:56.080 --> 0:14:00.360 like the girls were fighting, um he and so like 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:04.120 in the song, he basically accuses her of like, you know, 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:10.120 reframing everything to make her look like, you know, like 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:13.240 more of the victim in their relationship than she actually was. 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:16.079 Like he even he even eludes the fact that she 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.080 was the one who broke up with him and not 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:21.480 the other way around. Oh, that's a serious accustion, and 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:24.280 and that like you know, he was like reaching out 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:26.960 to her and all she was doing was you know, 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:30.360 like you like making the best of a crisis and 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:33.160 becoming famous from it, and you know what, baby, it worked. 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:37.440 She went to the Taylor Swift school of turning your 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:55.960 interpersonal drama into un profitable art. Yes, I don't think 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:58.080 it's surprised going to be surprising for anyone to hear 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:01.520 that Sex and City is deeply were to me was 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:06.640 extremely formative for me. Fran was it for you? You know? Um, 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:10.880 it is very easily a top three favorite TV shows 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:13.680 for me of all time. But I didn't start watching 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:17.520 it until late college, and then I think I didn't 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:20.720 finish it until I moved to New York like five 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:23.600 or six years ago. I think it's like a distinctly 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:27.560 like kind of like late twenties early thirties show because 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:31.320 they've grown out of, um, they're still really messy, but 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:33.280 they've grown out of a lot of like, you know, 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:35.560 things that you're doing like your first like kind of 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:40.480 decade of relationships and doing relationships stuff, and now alongside 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:42.840 that they're dealing with all this adult stuff related to 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.400 getting an apartment, getting a job, like all, you know, 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:48.040 the things that the show kind of followed. It is 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:51.560 people who are a little more settled into their selves 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:55.320 and their identities on their careers. Like it's not a 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:59.080 show where you know, Carrie moves to the big city 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:01.040 and like has to figure out what she wants to do. 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:05.200 Like she starts the show as an established writer. Everyone 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:08.160 else is like established in their professions. You are kind 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:12.480 of dropped very immediately into all of their identities. And 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:16.200 then it's this thing that I'm now finding as I 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:20.200 get older, when all of that stuff is kind of 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:23.320 figured out, like when you have a stable job and 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:27.000 income and like basically all of your basic human needs 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:31.640 are met, then you start being like, oh, what else 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:35.240 is there to focus on love and relationships? And it's 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:38.040 like that is so ta I've never thought about it 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:41.440 that way. What do you think people think misguidedly about 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.720 Sex in the City. I think that people take for 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:49.440 granted the fact that despite how like problematic and of 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:53.720 its time slash dated now it is, it still is 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:57.880 a really deep show that introduces ideas that were ahead 0:16:57.920 --> 0:16:59.880 of their time. That doesn't mean the whole show was 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:03.000 head of its time, but there's so many different encapsulated 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.760 moments and ideas that have stuck with me as a 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:10.280 person forever period, even though it's also so stupid. Well, 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:13.119 if you have been living under a rock or I 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:15.320 guess are like a teenager and you don't know what 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:18.200 Sex in the City is about. Sex in the City 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:23.119 is based on a column that Candice Bushnell used to write, 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:27.320 and it is a fictionalized version of her named Carrie Bradshaw, 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:30.520 And it's about Carrie Bradshaw, who's a columnist for the 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:32.959 New York Star, which is not a real newspaper. She 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.400 writes a weekly column called Sex in the City where 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:38.560 she talks about her romantic exploits and also the exploits 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:42.760 of her friends, um, and which I also like, did 0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:45.560 her friends read her column ever? And we're like, um, 0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:49.679 can you stop talking about that my personal life? Okay. Actually, 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:54.400 the only time that her column does affect her personal life, 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:58.160 which it should every episode, but the one episode where 0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:02.000 I did was when she is dating of the politicians, yes, 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:04.760 which is the only guy that she really should have 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:07.280 stayed Well he is what one of We'll get to 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:09.439 this later, but like it is one of my favorite 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:12.639 love interests for Sherry's and maybe the whole show, the 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:14.359 one who wants her to pee on him in the shower, 0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:17.399 which is like such a fine ass, but that's the 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:20.040 thing is that okay. So if we were to talk about, 0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:21.920 you know, the things that people get wrong about the show, 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:23.919 the things that they get right about this show is 0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:29.119 that it is so kind of prudish, prudent. Well, Harry 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:34.240 is the worst sex columnist the word. She is such 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:40.240 a prude. She wears a bra to bed, she never unless, 0:18:41.359 --> 0:18:46.719 she never curses. She's like so sexually unadventurous and so boring, 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:49.679 and so she all she does is mine her friends 0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:53.119 personalized for her column because she isn't getting any not 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:56.080 she's doing missionary, you know, like she just has the 0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:59.040 most vanilla idea of like what it means to have sex, 0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:02.000 because all of her ideas around like sex and intimacy 0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:06.160 are too tied to a storybook fairy tale of what 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:09.840 love is, and I think it convolutes the goals that 0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:12.800 she actually has, and therefore she doesn't have anything. Well, 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:15.800 Carrie is a romantic at heart um. But thankfully the 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:19.280 show is rounded out with characters who have different perspectives 0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:23.360 on love and sex and dating and relationships. There is Miranda, 0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:25.800 who's a high powered lawyer who very much is like 0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:29.400 guarded and doesn't want to let love in. There's Charlotte, 0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:33.280 who is you know, like um an art gallerist weirdly, 0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:35.719 which makes her feel like she should be much more 0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:38.320 progressive than she is. But it's actually like a park 0:19:38.359 --> 0:19:40.919 Avenue Pollyanna who just wants to find Prince Charming and 0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:44.600 get married. And then there's Samantha who is a publicist 0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:47.720 and a very good publicist, a very good publicist and 0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:50.320 a sex positive icon who just wants to fuck her 0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:54.800 way through New York and has They are all like um, 0:19:54.840 --> 0:20:00.200 identifiably very good at their jobs. But what's confused thing 0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:04.720 is that Carrie is a columnist and still like she 0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:07.200 shouldn't make that much money, but she can still afford 0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:10.399 like Manola blonics and an apartment that has a corner 0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:12.760 you can turn. Yeah, but like this is a fantasy 0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:15.560 that to me is like when people have critiques of 0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:18.880 sex in the City, that one which is like, how 0:20:18.880 --> 0:20:21.879 does she afford all those shoes? It's like, no, don't, baby, 0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:23.960 we got big we got bigger fish to fry. I 0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:27.200 think it's she's independent. It's a it's a fantasy. It's 0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:30.399 not about that, of course, but of course you couldn't 0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:32.520 afford that, But like, if you really want to if 0:20:32.520 --> 0:20:35.080 you really want to find like some kind of rational excuse, 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:38.520 like Carrie Bradshaw's an it girl, she is maybe like 0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:40.679 a proto influencer that I was going to say, a 0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:43.959 primordial influencer for sure. I feel like, um, if we 0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:46.080 were to kind of create a maybe a little bit 0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:48.359 of a rationale for the writers, I do think that 0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:51.359 maybe in this age, when did the show come out? 0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:57.639 So inn maybe this was before print media crashed. Do 0:20:57.680 --> 0:21:00.800 you remember this was like during the newspaper but the 0:21:00.840 --> 0:21:04.560 cave the caveman ears of the internet and in that era, 0:21:04.720 --> 0:21:08.159 but actually premiered. Okay, so in that era or like 0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:11.200 a little bit before that era, like writers were getting 0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:14.159 paid really well, Like you could get paid like a 0:21:14.160 --> 0:21:16.720 few thousand dollars to write one feature and you have 0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:19.280 like a month or two to write. She definitely could 0:21:19.280 --> 0:21:21.520 have made a living off of her column, but not 0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:24.320 the kind, not the kind of living she had. They 0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:26.840 do make allusions to, like she's in an extreme amount 0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:28.719 of credit card debt. There's a you know, there's an 0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:31.840 episode in season four after she's broken up with Aidan 0:21:32.280 --> 0:21:34.760 where she has to like get a loan from Charlotte 0:21:34.760 --> 0:21:37.320 to buy her apartment. She says, I'm literally going to 0:21:37.400 --> 0:21:39.320 be the old woman who lived in her shoes. Wait, wait, 0:21:39.400 --> 0:21:42.240 let's break this down quickly, because it's actually that she 0:21:42.359 --> 0:21:45.600 needed to get a loan from Charlotte. It's that Carrie 0:21:45.840 --> 0:21:48.199 looks at her bank account for the first time in 0:21:48.240 --> 0:21:51.199 her adult life, and she goes, Oh, I'm a ba 0:21:51.240 --> 0:21:54.560 billion dollars in credit card debt. Charlotte. If you don't 0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:57.320 lend me thirty dollars, you don't love me and you're 0:21:57.359 --> 0:22:00.320 not my friend. She literally does that. You know, I 0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:03.080 actually always used to think about how much money, like 0:22:03.119 --> 0:22:06.760 in that episode Carrie sees is in her checkings and 0:22:06.800 --> 0:22:09.359 savings account, and have kind of like helped that to 0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:12.159 myself as like, I never want to be at that 0:22:12.160 --> 0:22:14.320 point where I have like as little money as carry 0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:16.720 the number in it. I want to know, she says it. 0:22:16.800 --> 0:22:19.360 She says she has like seven hundred in her checking 0:22:20.000 --> 0:22:24.560 and like fifteen hundred and savings, and she is so 0:22:25.320 --> 0:22:27.520 I wonder how much credit card that she had A 0:22:27.600 --> 0:22:31.760 lot I have a well. There's an episode in season one, 0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:34.439 The Power of Female Sex, where Carrie Um goes to 0:22:34.560 --> 0:22:38.520 buy a pair of Dulce and Gabana canceled um, fuzzy 0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:44.359 shoes and the cashier cuts up her credit card because 0:22:44.400 --> 0:22:46.560 the company told him to do that. Like, can you 0:22:46.600 --> 0:22:49.480 imagine any whatever? Can you imagine going to Trader Joe's 0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:52.320 and they're like, oh, the like you try to use 0:22:52.320 --> 0:22:54.280 Apple Bay and they're like they told me to do this. 0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:56.240 They take your phone and throw it on the ground. 0:22:56.320 --> 0:22:59.800 Can we imagine your Trader Joe's cashier crushed doing That's 0:22:59.800 --> 0:23:02.439 not speak of him because I'm I think I might 0:23:02.480 --> 0:23:04.920 have to go there later today and he's going to 0:23:05.000 --> 0:23:07.560 be there, and I'm like not prepared to see him. 0:23:07.800 --> 0:23:10.200 I love that you said that. He's like because I 0:23:10.880 --> 0:23:13.680 kind of cute, you know, in his shifts. I I 0:23:13.760 --> 0:23:17.120
