Hey, everybody, welcome to Rose Pricks. Today's edition Thursday is and just
like that, we're on episode three. Oh my god, we're a little
behind where the show is, but you know, we just wanted everyone to
have enough time to catch up. Why don't you guys slow down and just
enjoy life a little bit? You know? Why? Why is such a
rush rush, like try to get through it, trying to get you know
what, You're all being a Miranda when like what you should be is just
like a little bit of a Samantha. That is my impression of Tony Danza
saying Samantha as who's the boss, Tony. So there's a lot of layers
there, because if you've got through this episode you're here to talk about this
episode, then you know that Tony Danza or last week is involved in this
show that we're talking about now. Yeah, and that's not finally involved,
but a little bit involved. Yeah, but it's pretty genius that I took
the name Samantha, right, and Samantha. Now, this episode was a
little better, but not much, but a little bit better. But don't
worry, because the next episode goes back to being horrendous. Oh yeah,
yeah, you know, and it's pretty like it does start, it has,
it has a couple of moments that I didn't hate as much maybe,
but let's get into it. Yeah, let's just break it down. First
of all, I don't know if you remember, but Carrie has this neighbor
that's like apparently her best friend, right, yeah, yeah, we see
twice exactly. I think that this girl, Lizette, we'll set well,
Sette is kind of supposed to be a younger Carrie because when we ad her,
she's wearing like this really like colorful windbreaker type jacket popularized by hip hop
artists in the eighties. Right, But plus she's paired it with some like
these floral bi high boots and then pink bike shorts, which do you remember
how Carrie like back in the day when she was wearing two tu's and like,
so of course I'll never forget. I feel like they were trying to
have and she's got the long curly hair. I feel like they were trying
to do a like a young carry and then nothing really came of it.
I have so many things to tell you now that I'm thinking of this,
because yeah, the old Carrie, like last season, they had a little
bit more Whittle set where she broke up with her girl her boyfriend. Remember
that, there was a little bit with her and Carrie is like, wait,
what's going on? And they became and now it's just they just popped
her back in. We hadn't heard from her in a long time, Right,
we forgot she existed. But hell, we forgot about this character we
wrote in last season. We shouldn't do something with her. Oh yeah,
she lives for some reason, because Carrie moved back to her studio apartment,
right, being the multi millionaire that she is. Right, Okay, that's
fine. She likes the area. It's the Upper east Side, and so
it's not the upper side. She lives on the lower. She lives on
the lower. Where does she live? She lives lower? She lives below
the Park. I know that on the West Side. I do know that
because I visited the Carrie Bradshaw House when I was in New York in March.
Because I'm a fan of that stoop. Because I'm a fan of the
show, which makes it all the harder to hate on it as much as
we do. But how can we not? It's real bad? So can
I tell you something before we even start? Yeah, I forgot. I
sent you a screenshot, but I don't think you responded to it. So
remember I was talking about, like, why did they write in that Steve,
Miranda's ex husband is like deaf? Why they randomly add that? But
it does turn out that the real actor who plays Steve is having hearing loss,
like he's struggling with us. So you were right about that. So
when I googled that, a couple other things came up too, And there's
an entire fucking theory out there. Did you see this that it just says,
so does Carrie? So does Carrie have dementia? And there's a whole
like rabbit hole that you can go and they're they're saying, people are saying
that they're trying to give us clues that Carrie Bradshaw has dementia. Now,
had you heard this before I sent that to you or did you see?
I had not heard it, but I did. I did, in fact
respond to that. If you go look, I said, I said,
do you think this is real? Or do you think this is Are they
speculating? Oh of course they're speculating. Oh no, absolutely, it's definitely.
We don't know if it's real. This isn't like written by that,
but I just like, yeah, Google just says, does Carrie have dementia?
Carrie? Then someone wrote Carrie is at the beginning stages of dementia.
Then there's an article that's supposed to give you these Easter eggs. I look,
they weren't great, but I thought, maybe that's why she's talking the
way she's talking like kind of a little I see. And I haven't noticed
the talking thing, although other people definitely have. He's talking so slowly,
now know if that's a dementia thing. And they they haven't planted any like
she's forgetting things. Well, they did have one, but it was right
after Big died, and so she was like in somewhere she couldn't remember where
she put her she was gonna make coffee for someone, couldn't remember where she
put the coffee can, and it was in like the wrong it was in
a drawer. But wouldn't that just happen if you're mourning the death of your
guys. I think that's a stress. Well of course, yeah, But
there were a couple others and I don't remember, but I just was like,
what, because if that's where this is all leading something they wouldn't do
that. That just would be too sad. It would be funny if you
could google anything and be like, is Miranda on set on and just like
that a serial killer? Here are ten clues that she is, and there's
probably are ten clues that she is, like killed eight people and she might
be that's yeah, we don't know, or Jay, let it be cha,
Please let it be Chay. Let her be the first kill. Wouldn't
that be crazy if it turns into that Miranda as a serial killer and you're
like, what, they really took a turn? And then she kills Jay,
but everyone's like and everyone's kind of on hers exactly, everyone's a little
bit on her side. And then she says, well, she was abusive,
and then we don't know if she was. Yeah, we don't know
that she wasn't y'all kind of saw it. So so anyway, anyway,
rights show that is going to have a show, and she tells Carrie,
hey, um, you're coming to my show, right, and then she
says to her, you're the only one I care about being there. Yeah,
that's so like, and then she's like accept nimons and whatever. But
she makes a little joke so she makes your friend that's her best friend,
because you know that situation where like, Okay, Carrie might be your best
friend, but you're not her best friend. I hate to tell ye.
She's never mentioned you to any of her other friend No, you haven't come
up in a season, girl, I guess been a minute, right,
And now all of a sudden, you're like, you're the only one I
care. It's like, really why? And she carries kind of annoying about
it. She's like, I mean, okay, she never really like she's
so unenthusiastic about other people, right, care about anybody else? Of course
not. It's like, but she's a little depressed. Okay, we'll give
her that. So then okay, so then it cuts to Seema. Oh
she has her broken robbed. Now didn't this happen? Yes? To carry
she Carrie got muggs. So are they just are they Is that a wink
to the audience or is that like a what is that? I don't know
because when they did it back in the day in Sex and the City,
it was a door you know, she got mug that had I think they
had to show something like that in New York at the time, you know,
and but it was kind of cute and she's just like, I mean,
she was so good Sarah Jessica Parker was just so I thought she was
such so good at her job, like as Carrie. So I guess I
just always just followed along, but now it just didn't like a broken a
twenty five thousand dollars burken you're just carrying that around. Yeah, I guess
I feel so sad about I mean, it is sad. It's terrible.
No one should do that rob somebody, but like, what is who is
this audience now? And I do feel like Seema is is like a supposed
to be Samantha and it's not working totally totally. It's not working totally totally.
So then so then they go working Lawrence of Milabia. So then this
is where it gets really bad, maybe worse than it's ever been. Then
we go to the school. We go to Charlotte's and like a school conference
because you know how you're always going to every school conference, and their best
friend Lisa with three names, all their best friends, they're all just sit
together at the school because the principle has something to tell you every single week
that they couldn't send an email. Nope, go there and sit in an
auditorium and have like meetings with the principle. First of all, that's so
incredibly wrong. Everything is done through email. That's what I'm saying. Get
an yes, right, But they're all there, and why are they there?
This is what the topic is. Somebody has released an Oh my god,
a milf list. What year is this? Right? What does anyone's
talk about MILFs anymore? No, that's the thing. This is why you
just go. It is just a bunch of gay men sitting in a writer's
room. And I know it's not, but that's is what it feels like.
It's just sort of this weird like, oh this is what this is
what women talk about. It's not so out of touch, and they're like,
oh, we're on this. Oh this some guy, some senior released
a milf list and they're very excited. Charlotte and her friends are very excited
about hopefully being on the milf list. The mothers I'd like to buck list.
Yeah, so that's weird and out of touch, but okay, okay,
so now then we go, Yeah, go ahead, Jerry's recording that
you're right, like which, God came back kind of on Earth a little
bit for a second. Yeah, and you tell us about that she's recording.
The thing that is annoying about this is just in line with my big
annoyance about the kind of I think making fun of woke people. So the
guy, one of the guys in the studio is double masked, which is
why so no one else's mask but this guy's double masked, and why it's
to go. This guy's so extra, he's afraid and the other guy's wearing
a bow tie? Did you notice for no reason in like in a hot
studio, right, it can't even have a air on because the recording stop.
Right. And then they make a joke because the guy with whose mask
comes into the comes into like, I don't know, adjust the mic or
something, and he's stinky. It's so rude. They're so mean, right,
he's so stinky. The assistants like, we're the ones you need a
mask? Ha ha ha you all might ye did Joe Rogan write this?
That's what I was. Oh my god, I'm surprised they didn't have like
a little cartoon come in. I was like, and vaccines give you cancer,
Like I'm surprised that there was some not like this was so bad.
I know, I'm so annoyed. I'm so annoyed by the make by the
obvious nods to like everything's like, yeah, we have to do this,
but we're not happy about it, all right, funny, And I want
to say this before you go to Chay. This really annoyed me too,
writing wise, So she's in there and she doesn't want to read her own
thing because it's too close to home to read about write dying, and so
she makes this joke to her publisher, who wouldn't probably be there but okay
maybe, but she makes this joke and she's like, can't we get one
of the Julianne's to Julianne Moore Julianne Margolies. First of all, again the
reference wise, when's the last time you saw Julianne Margalies julian Margalies, Yes,
and then the good Wife. I understand she's worked, but like,
that's not a thing where all actresses are named Julianne, you name, you
have two and they're not reading people's books. They're not reading somebody else's book,
Like there are professional voiceover actresses. That reads like that's not really a
thing that was bad. I mean that was like, oh, or the
writer's already on strike kind of joke, because that's sorry. I mean,
that's unacceptable. It's like they don't have a showrunner, but they do.
It's it's Michael Patrick King right because the runner of that, right, the
writer's room, like showrunner or the person in that room should be like,
all right, give me give me twenty alds each for that line. But
I don't think they said that, No, I don't think so. I
think somebody was like, let's savor say, like we'll get some get a
famous actress to play me. I mean, it really wouldn't be that much
different if I was like when my book comes out, if I was like,
can you get can you just get like Tom Cruise right, do my
joke, But then the joke would be worse, like Tom, who's another
Tom? Like can you either get like one of the Tryan Austin Green or
Brian Hawks, any of the Brians. Like that's not a thing. They're
not great, all right, Yes, yes, we'll go out to them.
We'll go out to them, Carrie, because you're such a huge name,
right yeah, all right, so then so she But but it is
kind of sad. She's we're reliving the her Big dying and so she's emotional.
It's sad on many levels because it's sad about how poorly they wrote him
off. It's not necessarily sad. I mean, it's sad because yes,
in the character lost her husband, but it's also sad because we're being reminded
that they didn't just have her divorce big and it's right, it killed him
on a peloton. Right. So back at Chase House, they're reading lines
from Chase sitcom script, which is so sitcommie and again with the fucking woke
shit okay, because the line is Tony Dance is like, go's it gool
with my little Canoli? And then Chase says, dad, please don't call
me that. And then Miranda reads the line, Oh who am I offending
now pastry or cream? Like what? What? Why? Why are you
going straight for the Like, Oh, Chase is gonna be really mad.
Oh we're offending people because we're making we're taught making jokes about you know,
Oh I can't call you a canoli. It's like everybody's so sensitive now,
so woke okay. Also, so Miranda is just a mess. They're the
worst couple I've ever seen. She's a complete mess and she can't work her
phone, and the jokes like, oh, what's an android? Like it's
your phone? It's twenty twenty three. First of all, I don't know
why you wouldn't have got an iPhone, right, but okay, I got
an Android and you don't understand at all how it works, how to turn
it off, how to turn the sound off. Like you're a lawyer,
a partner at a law firm, right, and you don't know she's quit
her job because oh because cha right, somebody, I need to say this.
It's something I noticed a little bit later, but I feel like it's
time to say it now. Please don't get mad at me. And if
we need to cut this, like edit it, I'm just gonna say it.
But for a moment, cha from they showed Chase from the back and
Shade looks exactly like Kim Jong un, And I do not mean that to
be mean, but I swear to you I will put a back to back
picture. I'm just gonna put it up. I'm not trying to be mean.
Facts for fact, that's what I all I can see now, Um,
do you see it? After I can picture that face hair. Yes,
and it's like last but really short in the back yeah, yes,
yeah, from the back, yeah, from the back. So okay,
So now Chase supposed to cry and Miranda's like, okay, so now you're
supposed to cry, and Chase like what, I'm not really gonna cry.
It's like not important. And then uh, Miranda's like whoa, but it's
kind of you're kind of really supposed to because then you're Tony Danza is going
to be like why are you crying? Chase like a, oh well,
I don't think it's important. I don't because then it makes it sound like
being non binaries a tragedy. So and then and then this was I actually
thought was kind of interesting because then uh, Chase like I don't want to
keep arguing with the showrunner because then the showrunners act like I'm being difficult,
which actually is relatable. Yeah, I're like I don't really agree with this
at all, but like I don't want to be the reason, Like I
don't want to be a huge problem. M Yeah, yeah, no,
I did agree with that scene in that moment of like but you know,
still it's just excruciating. Then we cut back, we cut over to Lisa.
Lisa is doing her documentary about women and Nia's and is it nia She's
in it, right, and that's when Okay, so that's the hot mic
woman, right, the sound guy, Yeah, oh my mic, hit
my mic. I think my mic fell into my cleavage. And again we
were saying, how like every single episode it seems like there's just some hot
guy out of nowhere that's like hey baby, as though there's just like a
plethora of them. They're just always hitting on older women constantly, constantly.
And also, by the way, this is you know, the year twenty
twenty three, as we've talked about, and Mike guys don't just reached their
hand down and feel your tits. That's just not how it works anymore.
I've not some brag, but I've had a lot of sound guys put a
lot of mics on me, and they just don't do that. They go
here and they hand you the mic and they go drop this down your shirt
and then I'm not making a joke for me, they have they have their
hands. Now, I'm not saying you're not attractive. You are. You
know you're got miked up. Was it when you were eighteen? No,
No, it's been like a couple of years. But I did a lot
of TV. I did Scarborough Show, I did MSNBC for every week,
And yeah, I'm saying I think at this point because back when I I
the last time I got miked up wasn't that long ago, and they still
didn't do it that way. But maybe you're right. Maybe I'm not sorry.
I think it's just say they're not sexy. It's just that I'm like
sexier, or maybe I'm more like, hey, I don't know, I'm
so stupid. I don't know how to do. They at one and you
and then they'll just do it, okay, So I hear you. I
hear you. So Nia's super flirty about it. I guess she likes that
even though their whole thing because every time you have a black person on the
show, they have to be commenting about like Nia hasn't. Her whole thing
has to be that she's here giving a talk about like race stuff, because
I guess black people only talk about the race, right and what it's like
to live in you whatever. And then the cute mic guy comes over and
she's like, I've never I've been out of the game for so long.
I just it's only that it's also over the top that it's like Nia,
she's black, but she's very intelligent and she's a professor at a school.
And then you know what, because we have to go back to season one
when Miranda was just like, wait, you're the professor. But I mean
we why can't I just don't understand why there can't be any like real moments,
like why can't there just be black people in the show that aren't I
mean, it has to be candy the right, but the writers have to
make everything a thing. It's like, do you see how woke we are?
Do you see it? But then I'm just why listen? It's hard.
This is hard to review because it's like, we want to be funny,
but we're not because we're just pissed. We're too angry to like even
see the joy in this anymore. Yeah, but then okay gets worse.
So Charlotte and Carry have lunch because they have all day, both of them,
I guess they do. And then they all of these people do is
hang out with each other, All these people with these jobs just hang out.
Okay, let me ask you this about the milf list. So they
get the Millf list. So they're like, oh, they got it texted
by someone first of all, who texted the MILF list? Right? Who
put together this list and they wrote it out? So what they do like
took a screenshot over this guy like who where it's like it's a cast list
or something, and it really it made me cringe so much that I like
like curled into a tiny ball. I disappeared, I evaporated, and then
I like had to be reborn as like a new baby. All that happened
out of the cringe from this milf shit. Yeah Milf. I'm maybe he
didn't feel it the same. Would I have wanted to be on the mill
List if this stuff I was in that situation? Probably yeah, But like
would that be a real thing? Would would we be all? Would all
the women be like, oh my god, did the millth lists come out?
Am I on it? If I was on it? Would I be?
Would I be like how dare they? Or would I be like,
oh, Okay, this guy is supposed to be this is like how is
he seventeen? Right? So let's let me we I guess can assume maybe
he's eighteen. But they're not in their final stretch yet so he's probably seventeen,
right, Yeah, So that's fucking weird and I'm sorry I don't approve.
Okay, oh my god, am I a mother? He'd like to
fuck? And if so, I think I'm gonna fuck it. Like,
what is happening? Charlotte so has nothing. It's the we're We're in like
four different shows, right, It's so weird these people. None of these
people would actually be friends. Like, if this was an actual friend group,
none of these people would be friends. I've always kind of said that,
but that other theories. Why would Lisa the woman Lisa be friends with
Charlotte? There is, you know, nothing those two women would really they
live next door to each other, I think I just think they both kids
at the school they live, I think in the same building. Because remember
they needed black friends, so they were going door to door to ask them
to come to their dinner party. God, I just cringed so hard now
hearing about that. I know, I know, I know. So then
Carrie goes back and reads her Sad, her Sad chapter. She kind of
does some more recording, and then afterwards she's like, yeah, I'm so
sad, and she runs into mitsy Van crazy Muffy. Also now that she's
she's from the original Sex in the City. She was married to what's his
face Nathan Lane. Remember, in the joke was always like, but isn't
he gay? So we finally get it confirmed obviously of course mitsy Von Muffy.
It's it's such a it's such a like lazy writing name. It'd be
like naming like Biff Witherspoon. Right, Okay, we get it, we
get who is supposed to be, but we can write do be best?
So runding her and I liked their conversation about death. Actually I liked her
m No, yeah, you disagree. No, that was that was a
perfectly fine scene. You know. I like that scene where she's like,
what are the ultimate? Some days you can't you fake it till you make
it, but you know, you do whatever your think. For her,
it was getting a facelift for you, you do whatever. So I thought,
for a second, because I'm so stupid, I thought for one second,
Carrie would be like, oh well, maybe something I could do would
be of service, Like I could go volunteer with seniors or with people that
like also lost. That's so cute, that's so cute that you thought she
would do that for a second, I did. And what she actually did
tell us that adorable. She went on a shopping spree because she's Carrie,
and she spent like fifteen thousand dollars on shoes and clothes. That's exactly what
I wrote down, fifteen thousand dollars. I don't know, Oh that you
really did. I wrote fifteen thousan dollars. Yeah, yeah, because about
those shoes had to have been like thousand dollars shoes, shoe each choo or
whatever. Her big thing is. Yea, she was at sack. She
wasn't she wasn't going to the rack. She wasn't going to Loman's. No,
son, she's reading her book to herself. Come on, she just
picks up her book just for some reading, and she's like, yeah this,
Oh my god, whoever wrote this? Uh? They really they tap,
they tap into the emotion and I'm not gonna be able to get through
this. So then she calls and she's like, oh my god, I'm
I have COVID. She's gonna have to get one of the Julian's to do
it. Yeah, this joke again, you know, because Julian Margali is
the tip of everyone's tongue. Right, So then Miranda decides that she's going
to get a tat. She's back in LA and she calls Carrie and she
tells her she wants to get a tattoo, and Carrie in this day and
Age is going to try to talk her out of it, like and and
that is just so crazy. Not that she just quit her job and decided
to move in with her new non binary lover. No, it's the tattoo,
that's what. That's where Carrie draws the line. She's like, you
know what time to come back to New York, right right? Yeah,
that's what because she's a No, I'm surprised. And that was the whole
thing with Samantha when she went to LA, you know, with Smith for
a while, and they you know, they always made they made fun of
it. Was it felt like a Woody Allen remember that, Like there was
one Woody Allen movie and there's been pretty bad ones. It was called Hollywood
Ending. And by the end you're just like, oh my god, I
get it. You don't like Los Angeles, Jesus, you made your point
in every movie, Like, I get it. You like New York,
right, you know what I mean? And that's what I feel like these
people are doing too. It's like, oh my god, yes they're tan
in LA and they don't we don't like smoking, not the same. It's
okay to like both for different reasons. And I feel like they just hit
so every time they have someone go to LA, and like I said,
they did it with Samantha. And then there was one where they all went
out on a vacation, which is never good. You ever want the vacation
bottle episode? No? Great? And yeah, it's like, oh god.
And you know what I think too, is I think that the writers
that are writing these episodes are all New York. I mean, they're all
LA writers. So it's almost worse because at least Woody Allen, you know,
did Love's New York? Yeah right, he loves New York, so
like that's real. He's making fun of it, right, But this is
like LA people going, Okay, what do New Yorkers hate us for?
Let's just make jokes about that. There's just nothing authentic about it. It
doesn't feel authentic at all exactly. So I forget if she gets I zoned
out because she was not going to get the tat then she was she made
friends with the tattoo artists, but did they did she get it or not?
No? Not here, No, she's just thinking about it. So
she leaves. And also then Carrie tells her she has COVID, but she's
like symptoms. Then Miranda apparently turns right around and call Charlotte because you just
you can see that those two are just constantly in touch, just constantly calling
Charlotte, who Miranda has nothing in common with, well nothing, well except
that now Charlotte suddenly has a non binary child and Miranda has a non binary
partner. So I guess now they have lots so much to talk about.
Okay, So then Charlotte calls Carrie and is like, I'm sending you over,
I'm making you suit. She's like cooking for her already right immediately,
like that's what you do. Just the COVID like that. And as they
said, it's late in the game, as Anthony's like, you got COVID,
I still enjoy him. He's like this late in the game, like
it's like me when I got it the very the last person that got it
was me, and no one really cared at that point. You certainly aren't
getting like muffin baskets. No, like you just are like, oh yeah,
it's terrible, right, yeah, okay, So then Seema is having
lunch with Anthony and Mike. When did they become best friends? Never?
They weren't friend right, they were not friends? Now, okay, so
how are all these people having constant lunches with each other? It's just constant.
And doesn't Anthony have that bait that the bakery the hot cross buns thing?
Well, sure he does. Well, of course he doesn't ever have
to be there apparently, ever, because all to the met or wait on
the couch to be asked to go to the met when like all his friends
suck him over every second, and like no one's dealing with it. No
one ever even says like, hey, are you sad about Stanford moving to
Japan? Does that make you sad that your husband that you like got You
had this huge wedding it was probably five hundred thousand dollars, he got mad
and he just moved to Tokyo. That's weird, right, No one mentions
it, nothing, no one, It's so bizarre. Oh my god,
there is a mention. I'm seven episodes in so spoiler, there is a
slight mention of Stanford that's going to that it's that I've seen, but it's
nothing. It's nothing. It might have been in this episode. Actually,
well there was also a mention when Carrie said that Stamford sent her a kimono?
Ko was that? Did that already happen? Yeah, but it was
like that had nothing to do with anybody feeling bad for Anthony. Nobody cares
about Anthon. They're just so mean to him. It's like, hey,
buddy, you know that's really terrible. You must have a heart. You're
crying on your couch like eating chips. It's seriously come to the met You've
been my best friend for twenty years. And my husband's like kind of gross.
Yeah, he's wearing a top hat. He looks like mister peanut and
he doesn't even want to go no, and he doesn't even understand what it
is. Okay, So back to Milkgate, Is that what you were talking
about the mills again? No, we have the one thing that I liked
that Carrie was home eating takeout, like eating a burger and playing wordle.
I like that, and her starting word was audio, which is a bomb
starting word mine is all du which is very close. Oh, this is
an interesting thing. I and I know you're not supposed to do that.
You're supposed to always start with the same word, but I start with whatever
word just pops into my head that day. Oh, don't judge, don't
word all judge me. Well, I just I'm really good at it.
What are you usually? What are you at? Three? Are you always
three? Oh? No, sometimes four? We're all okay, So well
that's our time, you guys, Thank you so much. All right,
So yeah, all the so the moms are all at the school and they
find out that one of the boys at school they was the one who started
the list, and they all like are like, oh my god, he's
like cute and sexy, and he's looking at the very young looking guy.
He looks sixteen. Yeah, yes he looks sixteen, but he all he
looks at all the moms like yeah, bitches, what's up? Yeah?
I put you on the list. Oh, And the music is like fuck
this fuck but did you notice that I'm not joking? Like out of nowhere,
there's this crap thing like yeah, yeah, look me up, look
me right, And you're like, well, what's happened. He's not,
he's like a sophomore. Oh god. So then they're back in the meeting
because apparently every update leads to another meeting. Are these people just getting SOS
calls on their phone? Like and then they just head right to the school
so that he can say, like, we found out who put out the
list, And then and then they're like, let's not get them in trouble
because like, you know, he's like he didn't really mean to do anything
wrong and it's really going to mess up with his future. And then the
principles like, oh so then some of the moms are like, you're just
saying that because you're number two and three on the list, right, And
then the principles like I just should this Just in a couple of moms were
seen objectifying a student this is and they're like, who, I mean,
the reaction is so stupidly over the time. I mean, I don't even
know what. I think the reason we get kind of tongue tied when we
do these particular recasts, if I may just be really like inside baseball on
us, I think it's because it's so terrible that kind of don't even know
what angle to come at it front, right, like we hate the writing,
but we also hate like every layer of it is bad and and disappointing.
Right, So it's just the reaction to that, like it would just
none of that would ever happen. It's so awful. I think we've made
that clear. Okay, So then the gasp because you know whatever. But
then back to their life, because you know, they have a New York's
really easy to get around. They have time. So now, so now
we're Miranda is in line. It's time for Chase studio taping, right,
um, but Brady calls while she's in line, Oh yeah, this is
huge, yeah, line, and why is she in line? Leading?
Note? Oh my god, let's talk about this for a second. Chase
filming a pilot. Apparently huge one is the ABC. It's like a huge
network. Did they ever say the network? I don't know. No,
it's huge and they're on a lot. I think it's Warner or something.
And so then so you would just be backstage. You would just go in
with Chay, you'd be in the you'd be hanging out in the green room
of your partner, right they lived together. You would never ever be standing
in line with the with just the regular people. Ever, like on a
hot day in Los Angeles, you're just lined up outside. No, so
that makes no sense. So yes, So Miranda gets this call. She's
having problems with her android, right, and she gets a call from Brady,
who's screaming into the phone. Brady's first sign those you don't know.
He's so mad at her. So she's like, so sorry. Yeah,
He's like, well you should have picked up before. And she's like this
phone, he's being kind of abusive and she just seems like a moron,
and he's being a little like yeah, he's yelling at her. He's having
a tough time, but it's so awful to why he's He's like in the
rein, his hair's all cur its curlier than usual, and he's just and
they just annoying me. And then like he a car kind of almost hits
him and and and he kind of gets out of the way and then he's
like whoa And Miranda's like what happened And he goes, oh, I was
going to buy a car. I wish I had got right, So she
then she's like he's got to kill himself. She's like, you call me,
can you imagine. Then Miranda goes, you've got to go to the
hospital, check yourself into the hospital. She said that, yes, I
know that. She's like, call me when you get to the hospital.
She said, you have to know. She did not. Yes, she
goes, call me when you get to the hospital, which I was like,
she said, go home and call me when you get home. She
did not say call me check yourself into a mental hospital. She did not
say that. Now we have to go back and rewatch, I'm gonna check.
But I'm pretty sure she said call me when you get to the hospital.
Okay, I'm you know what this is. This is our first fight
on this show. It's not a fight. So you're saying, she's like,
you need to fifty one fifty yrself into a mental hospital. I think
that's what happened. I don't. Okay, I'll go back and check,
but I think so either way, she's very upset, rightfully, I understand,
Yeah, having a meltdown. He's being awful and um. So then
she gets up to the security guard. But also she says also, she
says, did you did you call your dad? And he's like, well,
I wanted to talk to you. Yeah, so's like, this is
like a weird thing because he does have another parent. Yeah, that he
could call, which is just a which is weird. And I understand and
I listen. I'm on Miranda's side. I would go I would go straight
home too. But he it is weird that she, like she left Steve
and he was a perfectly nice guy. There wasn't anything wrong with him.
It's not like he's abusive. So why wouldn't she have been like, please
call your dad, please call him? Well, he's mad, I guess
if I'm thinking this out, Brady's mad because Miranda like up and abandoned that,
like forget Steve. She's like, yeah, I just randomly decided all
this stuff about myself and fell in love with Chay, who's like an out
of work kind of awful comedian. Right, and I'm see you later.
I'm moving to California by right, So wouldn't he be mad at her?
He is, right, So why wouldn't he call his dad? Why is
he punishing the dad? Oh, because he's punishing the mom. He's like,
he's just he feels I can't believe we're being serious about this, but
we are, Like he feels that she's not been there for her for him.
I mean, everyone's just so fucking self centered. So you know,
I guess you know when you have your first college breakup, don't you feel
all the feels? Of course? And my mom, by the way,
would be like what she said when I went through exactly what Brady's going through
and saying things like that. She's like, Okay, honey, you'll get
through it, like give it four days, and guess what never got over
it? Ha ha jokes on her because I'm still Facebook stocking that guy from
college, so ha. Okay. So Miranda goes into the taping anyway,
but she finds out she can't have her phone, and she's like, oh
shit, I need my phone, so she tucks it into her her clothes
and then she tells the security lady like, oh, I lost my phone
at the beach, and the security lady rightfully, so it's like, well,
you didn't replace it or use find my phone and she's like, yeah,
no, I don't really know. So she's like, okay, I
believe. But the security goes so extra nice, like you they're just never
like that. So she was just like, I hear you, that does
sound nice. So cat fun yeah, like that's just not how it goes.
But okay, and she doesn't say, hey, Chay is my partner.
No, can I get a good spot? Maybe I'm not like in
the middle and the back right right, like maybe put me on the end
or near where I could go see Chay beforehand right after? Nope? Yeah,
So I mean to carries carries a book person calls and tells her,
hey, guess what you have an extra week? And carries bummed about that,
which I get it. She's wearing a face mask for no reason,
not a mask mask like she's doing like a like oh right, right right,
mask right. She's terrifying to me, right, all right, So
the taping happens. This is so awful. But it's supposed to be,
is what I wrote down. Tony Denzel's hamming it up. But I think
it's supposed to be a really bad sitcom. Is that kind of the point.
Um. I think it's just supposed to be very sitcommy. But I
mean, this part, this part is so awful, This part of the
this part of the episode, mh is so is so awful to me.
So cha that we get to the part we're chase is supposed to cry and
would you call you whether it's he or she, they them or river rat
or whatever. He says. It's like, I don't care this. Yeah,
now I think about this. So he's saying all this, and you're
shooting Chay from behind at one point, and that's when I saw the kim
jongon like full force, and I was like, that's when I was like,
oh my god, my ambient has kicked it. But when I went
back and looked at it again, I was like, nope, full on
kim jong. H. Yeah, maybe that's on purpose. I don't know,
but yes. So Miranda's phone rings finally somehow, and she didn't even
adjust her phone, but somehow it just miraculously rang this time. And the
showrunner, now, this is a thing that would never in a million years
happen. Everybody stops, and Tony Dan's is actually like cool with it,
right, you know, because Miranda's like, oh my god, I'm so
so sorry, I'm so so sorry, and the showrunner loses their mind and
just starts screaming, hey lady with the phone. First of all, the
showrunner a blue haired person I forgot their name dB or something dB, I
think because it used to come up on the phone. Let's just say dB.
dB would know that that's Chase Defenson. Sorry, yeah, let's just
call Tenson would know that that's Chase girlfriend. They would know that they've met,
they're working together all the time Miranda's been on set, they've I mean,
that's just ridiculous. There's no the showrunner wouldn't just start screaming. And
then the showrunner starts yelling, you run the moment and we're never gonna be
able to do it again because guess what, Jay is not an actor.
There is stand up. Okay, what the that would never happen in front
of none. But also, but let's talk about Miranda just being so out
of her mind as and she's like, I don't know, she's like hystrionic,
she's gone insane. She can't handle her phone, she can't she's stamp,
she's like knocking things over all the time. Like, it really is
so hard to just watch that. And you're right when pug Penson comes in
screaming, which is what I'm going to call the showrunner like, of course
they wouldn't say that, Well, we can't get this take again because Jay,
Like, why would you say that in front of Jay, Why would
you say that in front of the audience. There's no world in which any
This is why we hate it so much. It just makes no sense.
Right. But then also it's like they're there's they're like the here's the problem.
The characters who were trying to show that non binary people are people just
like us, Right, that's supposed to be kind of the point of the
sitcom, right, But then we have to make the non binary person who's
running the show just like a horrible so we can't have nice things. That's
what I can't have it on. And it's then the warm up person,
like I wrote, who is this warm up person trying to give them back
in And that's when they like they start yelling again, making fun of the
woke stuff that you were saying, because they were like they say something and
they're like they they they they they because someone says he or she right,
which just shows oh see see these non binary people, they're just like they're
going to police your language. This is why this is why pronouns are so
stupid, because then and these non binary people are always going to be correcting
you exactly, which is not the case. That is not I have met
many non binary people, and they usually do not yell at you and go
stop calling me she or hey, it's it's they anyway exactly. I have
had that happen once, but we won't go into that. Okay, So
Charlotte is we have two quick scenes where Charlotte's kind of the voice of reason.
I guess Miranda calls and she's like, no, you're do you come
home? This is the most important thing for you to do is come home
and take care of Brady. And I we both agree with Charlotte on that,
right, And then there's a quick thing of why wouldn't they have a
scene Why wouldn't Miranda call Steve? You're so worried about your child, You're
you think your child might be suicidal, but you're just calling your girlfriends and
going what should I do? So I think I'm gonna come home? You
wouldn't you would be why and if obviously she would have called Steve, And
why wouldn't they show that as a scene. That would be so much more
interesting, right, it really really would And I don't have any answer for
it is just shit. But then oh, then they have a quick scene
of Carrie and Sema and they're talking about death and how hard you know,
girl, you just do you crawl into bed if you have to. And
you lost your husband. I lost my burke in so I know. At
least Carrie made a joke like, my god, are you relating like that?
Right? Right, right, at least they were smart enough to do
that. But okay, So now Chay comes out of their taking and Miranda's
waiting outside because even though apparently Miranda had to wait in line with all the
regular people, but now she can suddenly just be wandering around the lot and
be at the trailer or at the door to the stage. Now Miranda has
a full access to all the backstage but had to be let in past the
security guard and didn't come in with Chay. But whatever, and Jay does
not care at all, Kim John does not care at all at all about
like Branda's like Brady was suicidal and I didn't know what to do, and
changes goes you ruined the family scene and then Miranda says, yeah, but
this is real, and she's like, who cares about your kid? That's
just stupid, Like it's gonna say it was like whatever, it's a kid,
It'll get over it. Yeah, and then Miranda is now trying to
get them not to leave on a bad note. Well before she said something
very offensive to me, I cannot tell you as someone who doesn't have kids,
and thank you, you've never been like the people that say, like
you don't you don't know what real love is until you've had a child.
I've told you that. People have said that to me my whole life,
and I'll just say that I had the opportunity to say it to me yet,
right, But I mean, you know how much I love Judge,
Judy, I know what real love is. Guys, don't worry about me.
But then then Miranda yells at at Chay. It was like, oh,
now there's no winners here. I was reading for Miranda. I don't
even remember Miranda doing that. She says that, she's like, you don't
even know what real love like. She says it in the because she's talking
about her kid, and she's like, that's the most important thing to me.
You wouldn't know anything about that. And maybe she didn't mean the childless
Jay, but it felt like that, like it felt that way, and
then Jay was kind of pissed. Maybe they did it on purpose so they
could be just on equal asshole grounds. I don't know that they could be
equally assholy though, because Jay is just an over the top horrible character.
But I'm feeling like Miranda is too at this point. They always kind of
were. I mean, Miranda always was, even with Carrie, the way
that they would fight, the thing that how mean they would go with each
other. Sometimes it just yeah, gay men writing women fighting. Gay men
can be and this is you know, a generalization, but can be very
bitchy with their with their female friends and their male friends, and then just
get over it right away because they think, you know, again not all
gay men, but that is you know, I guess is that kind of
like a trope saying hashtag all gay men. That's what I heard. Well,
one thing I'll say, and they probably get this kind of right.
But there was a scene back in the day old sexon City when Carrie is,
you know, having boy problems I can very much always relate to,
and you know, and she called Miranda, who'd had you know, she's
like kind of a new mom and she's really struggling and stressed, and she
calls her and she's like, I don't know, you know, and Miranda
yelled at a lot. But she she was like, why don't I don't
know, I don't have time for this. Why don't you call your friend
Samantha, you know, like her thing was like, I've got a real
life and your sadness and your ship doesn't matter to me. And I'm sure
that's a real well blaming it. I'm gonna stop saying that this is written
by gay men because it's probably not anymore. I know it was back in
the day, so but you know, I don't I don't actually know who's
writing it. I do know that Michael Patrick King doesn't have share my same
sensibility same But I thought that that scene was interesting, but it was mean.
It was like, yeah, that that could ring true, that people
could have that conversation. But Miranda has always been like a scary friend.
I don't think I would have stayed friends with her if I was scary,
because she's the kind of that cuts deep, you know, like you gotta
you can't even when you're really really mad, you can't say like all the
worst things. Of course not no, and Miranda. So Miranda here,
she did it to Chay even though we don't like Jay. I'm just like
I don't, You're not that good of a person. That's Yeah. I
just think Chay is being written so awful and narcissistic that you just you just
go, why would you be with that person? Right? Well, because
Jay is running North Korea, you know, And sorry I can't why why
you know? It just bothers me. And I've now made this point twenty
times, so this is the last time I'm going to make this point.
But like, why does Chay and the show runner, the two non binary
people, why do they have to both be assholes? Right? And Rock?
Who's Charlotte? Right? Non binary child? Okay, so now we're
almost done, So now we're going. Now they've gone to Lozette's design show
whatever Lozette is, I guess jewelry designer and stuff. Yeah, you need
to explain this, okay, yeah, oh yeah, Okay. There's a
person pretending to be like a bus boy or a waiter, but he's a
thief. He's really a thief and he's stealing jewels and they don't seem that
concerned about it. To be honest, what's going on with this? What's
he's like taking the stuff and then then he then he holds them up.
He says, give me, give me your necklaces, and that's when they
get upset. Well, specifically Carrie's necklace, because it's her Carrie necklace that
we've had since season one of the show. So she doesn't want to that's
her identity. But yeah, she doesn't care that her best friend Wase and
we never hear about all her diamonds are being stolen. She's not really gonna
She's like, that's weird, should we okay? But no, please don't
take my Carrie necklace. So then and Seema doesn't is not like, doesn't
care at all what's happening. Well, she takes out of what we think
is a gun, right, doesn't care because she pulls out a gun,
but it turns out it's not a gun, your guys, it's just a
lighter. But the guy thinks it's a gun and it's also a weird way
to you know, they do that, and then she just carry yells I
have COVID and everyone runs, including the thief who gets away. I did
not understand this scene at all. I made a note for myself, asks
Cecily to please explain what happened? What was the point of this? There
was no point, nothing good happened, like they never got the jewels back,
like Carrie did not care about the other stuff being they just wanted this
guy away so that she yelled out of COVID so he'd run off. Although
I guess for a second he was like, no, I cut it out,
give me your stuff. She's like no. Then that's actually when when
Sema pulls out the gun, that's when he runs. But they didn't yell
like hey he's stolen the stuff, or give the stuff back or anything,
pretend to hold him at gunpoint long enough that security can come get him exactly.
Know, they just wanted him to get away from them. They just
I mean, it was such a weird move, I thought. So then
it goes We're going to go back to her to Zette, but Miranda gets
home. Brady is just being a nightmare. Although I have been hard on
Brady, he's not my favorite, but like I guess we were all like
that, we all had that breakup. Yeah, but then he's going to
get bad again. So like we could feel bad for him for one minute,
but he's just to spoiled brat. So yeah, no, he's being
an asshole, like he's just a nightmare to her, her whole life as
a nightmare. Yeah. So then okay, so oh yes, Seema is
driving somewhere in a cab or something. I don't remember exactly, but she
sees her burkin. You guys, the birkin's just there, just laying street,
Yeah, laying up like in pretty plain sight. But she bends down
to like petted dog, looks over and it's like, there's her birkin,
her twenty twenty to sixty thousand dollars birkin. So there it is. We're
good there, that all got wrapped up. That's great. Then Lizette is
so sad. That's the one we don't. You're probably go on, who
is that again? That's a sad lady. Yeah, and she's in bed.
She can't get you out of your bed because all her stuff got stolen.
So Carrie somehow has a guess a key to her house. Oh yeah,
she does have a key. They made that a thing last year.
She's a key. She comes in, she's like, I know, it's
so sad, and all of a sudden they're so close. She's like,
can I lay in bed with you? Yeah? And why does why does
Lisette have this huge apartment. I don't understand. She's a struggling jewel redesigner
that doesn't have any kind of distribution and she only has the designs that she
made. She's got nothing to her name, but she's got her bedroom is
bigger than my bedroom. I mean, what does she do for a living?
I don't know. Maybe she's like a trust funder, I don't know,
but she comes. They're so close, even though it's like it's gonna
be we'll lay in bed and then maybe we'll get out of bed tomorrow.
I would think it'd be girl so great if they just made out. I'd
make that the show. They should make out. Yes, yes, that's
what I think. Girl. Okay, So then so then Carrie makes it
through. She goes and reads her book and she makes it through, and
then Seema and Carrie are out again. Because these people are always fucking out
having drinks constantly. This is not how people in their fifties live their lives.
Every night. They're out having drinks every single night, not every single
night, but okay, all right, Well they meet some Australian guys and
Karrie gets COVID the end. I love that I did like that they're like
and just like that, I got COVID. I thought that was kind of
funny, also kind of fucked up, Like how many of them did she
sleep with? She like bangs all of it. What if they're like and
just like that, I banged every guy at the table. Oh my god.
The next episode is so bad. I know that because I think we've
done enough here. Yes, we've done enough damage to our psyches. All
right, Yeah, No, it's tough. I'm gonna try to get it
together. I might take like a i don't know, at a van something
to get me in a calmer place the next time I watched. Yeah,
I'm just like that good idea. All right, everybody, thanks for listening.
Love you see day Here for episode four. Hi, Hi,
