Speaker 2: Tell us how the show works.

14
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 3: Well, it's a play. Actually it's not a Q and

15
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 3: a anything like that, okay, And it's basically the origin

16
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 3: story of Sex in the City. How I wrote Sex

17
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 3: in the City, How hard I work to get there,

18
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 3: why I invented Carrie Bradshaw, and what happened to me afterwards.

19
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 3: And we play a little game real or not real,

20
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 3: because there's so many things that happened on the TV

21
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 3: show that happened in my real life, better or worse.

22
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 3: So there's video, there are manolos, there's music, there are

23
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 3: little sketches and it's you know, there are lessons that

24
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 3: I've learned about relationships. Can Number one, if you want

25
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 3: to do it, somebody else.

26
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 2: Will does that.

27
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 3: The cosmos, I think that the audience would probably have

28
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 3: to buy their own.

29
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: At the front. Yes, I had to bring my own flaws.

30
00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, exactly. And I do drink quote cosmos on

31
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 3: stage tell me said to me. They were like wow,

32
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 3: they were like, you drink a lot on stage. And

33
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 3: I was like, it's actually watered down Cranberry cute. Okay,

34
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 3: you don't actually want to drink real alcohol on stage.

35
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 4: It will get a little bit loose towards you that

36
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,399
Speaker 4: you just did for the final.

37
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 5: Elect she could get a little bit you might go

38
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 5: off script, Candice, did you always have Sarah, Jessica Parker

39
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 5: and mine for Carrie?

40
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 3: You know, she came to it very quickly. I mean

41
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 3: pretty much from the beginning from what I remember, and

42
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 3: I mean I couldn't imagine anybody else playing Carrie. So

43
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 3: you know, she's she's amazing, She's fantastic. So yes, But

44
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 3: you know that's the thing about the TV show sect

45
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 3: in the City, it's just a lot of really you know,

46
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 3: great lucky you know those you know that you get

47
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 3: those actresses and the audience connects with them because you know,

48
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 3: I've done other TV shows and you know, most of

49
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 3: the time not everything goes right, but on that show,

50
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 3: everything everything went right. It's it's great, So very lucky, Tennis.

51
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 4: The characters based off real life friends of yours have

52
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 4: have any of those friends have been a little bit

53
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 4: upset with how they may have been portrayed on the

54
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 4: small screen.

55
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 3: Actually not, although one of my there's you know, there's

56
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 3: sort of not those sport characters, but there's like little

57
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 3: side characters that maybe appear like once or twice, and

58
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 3: you know, a couple of times people have said like, oh, yes,

59
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 3: I know that was like my story, even though you

60
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 3: change everything. But actually people want to be the sort

61
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 3: of a story. They want to be books or on TV.

62
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 3: What happens to me all the time is people come

63
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 3: up and say, you know, you should write my story.

64
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 2: I should be you know, I should be confident in

65
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:18,799
Speaker 2: the city.

66
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that that happens more often, Candice.

67
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 1: It was a real game changer in the light late nineties,

68
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: not just for the entertainment industry, but culturally too. Four

69
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: strong female leads not just openly talking about sex and relationships,

70
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: but having a fair bit of sex in their relationships

71
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: as well. I mean Blanche was the only one having

72
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: sex in the Golden Hell. That's so you know, this

73
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: was groundbreaking.

74
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 3: Yes, And you know now I've I've rewatched the show

75
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,559
Speaker 3: on Netflix and you know what, there's a lot of sex.

76
00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 3: They're all having a lot of sex because I I

77
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 3: think I might have gotten used to watching it. It

78
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 3: was on like E Entertainment and they, you know, they

79
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 3: cut it. They cut out a lot of the sex

80
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 3: parts to put it on network television. And I was like, oh, yes,

81
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 3: it's pretty racy.

82
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 2: It's pretty racy.

83
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 4: It's worth a rainwatch on Netflix sort of, shall we say?

84
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 3: One of my favorite things is where Samantha she goes

85
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 3: to the fire house and she basically is naked and

86
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 3: she goes down the pole and then and then they're like.

87
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 5: It's a fire my boots, but you put.

88
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 3: On a fireman's foods. It was like, it's just so funny.

89
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: There's one more thing we must ask you, just to

90
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: clear up some debate Carrie Bradshaw's lifestyle. Is it really

91
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: possible to live that kind of life in New York

92
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: on the income of a cola must not now, I

93
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,119
Speaker 1: mean yes, yeah.

94
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 3: You know I would yes. First of all, you know,

95
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 3: there was always there were always a lot of perks.

96
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 2: Yes, true.

97
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 3: In the nineties, people gave you a lot of free

98
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 3: stuff cars and you know this and that discounts on cloths,

99
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 3: so yeah, I would say yes, yes. And also everything

100
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 3: was cheaper.

101
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 2: That yeah, yeah, that's that's the difference. It is so true.

102
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: But there was way more stuff thrown at you in

103
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: the nineties than now.

104
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 2: Sure, unless you're an influenzer.

105
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 3: Yes, unless you're an influenzer. Actually, somebody wanted to send

106
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 3: me some like hiking equipment.

107
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, by.

108
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,799
Speaker 3: That's that's not really my beak.

109
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: But oh sure.

110
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,920
