Hi, everybody, Welcome to Rose Pricks. Oh my god, it's this
is my favorite these days me too. We're talking about and just like that
and oh boy, oh boy, we got a lot to say. It's
me Cecily Nibler and you know, Stephanie Wilder Taylor obviously, and then just
like that, it's her favorite show that she's ever seen. And I was
like, not even the Sopranos, not Six Feet under You, and she's
like, I just love Chay. So yesterday, I'm I'm watching the show
and I'm taking notes on like three in a row, and I just keep
texting Cecily and calling her and I'm just so mad. I'm just like,
at one point I couldn't. I had to leave her a message on her
voicemail because I was like, I'm so I can't. I mean, okay,
let's let's just start. Let's start. So we're on episode eight.
Now we know if you're hate watching along, Yes, I keep within within
only like one or two episodes like Aiden. It's Aiden just like came in
like a freaking car accident in the last episode at the end of the last
episode. And now guess they're together. They're they're buried together because they're well,
he won't go into an old apartment even though it doesn't look anything the
same, and he's been married for many years and had three kids in a
farmhouse and like sold his business, but can't set foot in that apartment,
right, I kind of get it. I kind of get it. But
now so they have to order in sex eggs. I just wrote on sex
eggs because they're in the hotel and they're like, I can't you get a
can you close the lines? I did it yesterday. Well I did it
the day, but we get it. You had sex for a long time.
Now you're you're so rich that you're ordering eggs. And I just want
to say, because this is something that's going to be making me mad for
many episodes to come. Aiden's whole personality, well, first of all,
he has the same cheesy ass personality, which we will we will get to.
But suddenly it's like the writers don't realize that Aiden ever fucking lived in
New York City. He had a big business. He had a company in
New York City. He was a business person doing business things. And then
he sold that company to west Elm, which is a hugely high high end
furniture company. Yet we're supposed to believe that I'm just a country guy.
Yeah, I don't know a city. I don't know. I didn't I
can't get a hotel room. What's that? Don't tell the folks back home
about how much as spent on these damn eggs. Let me make it worse
for you. Let me make it worse for you, Stephanie and whoever's listening.
So we've always hated, not hated Aiden, but he's just not the
right guy for her. He's just about feeling about Aiden since way back.
Yeah. Oh of course special Lady needs all the things he's just so it's
like, yeah, so then it makes no sense all of a sudden that
Carrie thinks everything he says this funny. So he's like, I'm a vampire,
who's a Can you imagine what he says that? She me like,
it's they're supposed to be so cute, like they're banter, Like she wouldn't
have never liked that. She likes forget sophisticated writers, that's what she's attracted
to, like sophisticated people, Like why would she like think that's a And
she laughs so hard, like, oh, those two they were always meant
to be because he just said I'm a vampire and then he like bit her
neck and then he's popped up, and then he told her a story about
chickens, like she has to pretend. Maybe they'll get to that. Maybe
they'll get to that in the finale where she's like, you know, and
just like that, I remembered why aiden was annoying. Maybe, oh God,
I pray, but it's just not looking like that. That would have
to be all of a sudden because spoiler alert, it doesn't happen till like
I'm we're through, We're all through the penultimate yeah, all right, so
I oh god, Okay. So then the chicken that she's like, I've
got a country house. She like google's classic country home, Like she never
doesn't know what a country home would look like, right's she google's a farmhouse.
She doesn't even google. She Google's a farmhouse, classic farmhouse. And
then and then she's google only like the richest looking thing and not even for
a second think that it could just be a regular farmhouse, which, by
the way, never comes back up like should I go in order? Okay,
I will, let's go in or so she goes and has brunch with
her friends. Okay, seem as all that I care about at this point
read this, She's the only person I can relate to because the I mean,
it's all over the place, but that's happening, and they're having this
conversation like and they're like, is this moving fast or what? There?
Nobody can ever question Carrie. Okay, but also can I just say one
more thing about the fact that they've been in bed together for a week?
Again, nobody, how how many care on this show can be under employed.
It's like, right, I thought Aiden was in New York on business.
He's supposed to be in he is in there on business, but he's
just been fucking carrying a hotel room for like a week and a half and
they haven't even gotten up to close the shade. He doesn't ever pick up
his phone. He's not like, hold on, I've got to talk to
this buyer nothing what business is he doing? And he's not doing And Carrie
has no phone calls to make. She has a book out right, I
know she doesn't work besides that, but like you don't You guys don't need
to call anybody or do anything. Nobody on the show has anything to do?
Is there any like a stock call? Like he like Big left her
so much money? Like does she ever have to get on the phone with
her guy? Hey, listen, you know we were thinking about like moving
some stuff around that never happened. No, I guess not. I guess
nobody has anything to do, but like fuck all day? Okay, yes,
and then oh yes, and then I don't remember in order I got
this may have come later when Shay comes over and it's like, why didn't
you guys stay together? Is that later? That's later because I think they're
going to the airbnb. Okay. So she's telling the girl and everybody's like,
yay, all the girls have no jobs because they're all just a ranch
constant, and but Seema is the only one. She's kind of on her
phone, kind of disconnected, which is why I'm like, she's actually a
real character. She's a real estate person. And then she's on our phone
because she's we find out is annoyed at Carrie, not because she actually has
any business to do, even though she's like one of the richest like real
estate people in New York City. Right, So she sees that the farmhouse,
though She's like, this is from Howard's end, because they keep bringing
up Howard's end again, telling us that the writers are seventy five year old
white guys. Yes, like Seema knows what Howard's I mean, seriously,
Sema supposed to be wet in her thirties. I just feel like she doesn't.
I don't know how old Semas supposed to be, but she doesn't.
She's like, oh, that's the exact house. She remembers the exact house
from Howard's end. I do think Sema is supposed to be, like in
her fifties? Is she okay? So she looks great? Okay's she's not
into She's not into meeting She doesn't She really doesn't want to eat meat Aiden,
which I thought was a little weird kind of I mean, I don't
want to meet Aiden either, but she doesn't know why. She hasn't met
Aiden yet, so how would she know not to want to meet him.
She's jealous. She's jealous, which I think is relatable, and because she's
also annoyed that Carrie's like suddenly has she feels like Carrie's flighty and fickle and
makes these plans. I mean, we find out later but just this is
just a quick spoiler alert. Obviously you guys have watched it, but we
find out that Carrie's never mentioned the Hamptons, like she's just pretending like,
oh my gosh, I'm in love and that's all I care about, like
you're in high school or something. Always how she's been, she always chooses
yeah, but Seema hasn't known this about her. This is the first time
Seema's seeing this in action. Such a good point and we're not even we're
gonna get pissed just for Warrnty, Like I get so mad at what a
bad friend carry is. So everyone Carrie is like, hey, yeah,
like my relationship is so amazing, and like we're going to commute and see
Aiden, like back and forth, and then she's so condescendingly is like,
so, guys, like next time Aiden's in town, like we'd love to
take you to death. We were pregnant and we'd love what yeah, my
god, yeah, And they're like, yeah, I'm in mirandas like Miranda
still does have her ship to deal with, Like she doesn't have that much
time to go do that, right, right. That was the great thing
about sexas City too, when she had the baby, and Carrie was bitching
about like a guy problem, and Miranda's like, sorry, yeah, go
call your friend Samantha. I've got a crying bait. Like those were real
moments in real dialogue. Right now, it's just like sure, yeah,
okay. So then there's the scene where Miranda and carry are walking I guess
through Central Park or something, and she's finally able to tell her something,
but Carrie is wearing what looks like a robe you'd buy for an extended hospital
stay. You know that somebody orders you off Amazon, and you're like,
okay, I'd never wear this in my hospital hospital. It's great she's wearing
that as a coat. It's fun that you say that, because as they're
walking, Miranda finally gets to say something about her life, which Carrie immediately
makes back about her. So Miranda's like, well, it looks like I'm
gonna intern. I'm gonna you know, which is probably hard for her.
She doesn't really want to be an intern, right. Whatever it is the
human rights they don't really say. It's just like the Human Rights Watch.
Yeah, whatever it is. It's also vague and broad, and Carrie and
I noticed this too. Miranda still sounds like Maria Cynthia Nixon's voice is still
the same, right, but Carrie is walking like hobbling along, and she's
just like, well, that sounds I'm so glad you get I mean,
she just sounds like she's one hundred. Yeah I saw you because she's wearing
a hospital gown. Yeah, here's the other thing I want to say about
this, and then I'll be quiet and you can just take the rest of
the thing. This is what's annoying me, so Carrie. So I'm gonna
carry one thing and then for the next four episodes, I'm the talk all
you. I'm gonna be quiet after this. I swear I've my fingers.
I didn't really swear. Carrie did not get married until her mid forties,
okay, and I feel like this is kind of important, right She she
she gets married late in life, so you would think a lot of who
you are stays who you are. Like if I got married now, like
a lot of Cecily would still you know, maybe I'd own a toaster because
I got married, right somebody, but I wouldn't. I don't think there's
a world in which I could really be that different. I'd love to be
but I wouldn't be right. So she got married in her mid forties,
she marries Big, and now she's just this like totally rich lady, Like
I don't know from that by it all like nothing you didn't nothing changed,
right? I mean nothing? I mean nothing. There's no the same,
nothing stayed the same, That's what I mean. Like memories did, yes,
yes, but it just bugs me like now, like as though she
was always raised that way, she struggled. She was like a you know,
living in a studio apartment in New York. Yes, yeah, I
know that, like we can evolve. I get that. She acts like
it's just me married life. Now I got to write a check for a
hundred thousand dollars to Enid. It makes me so mad. Now why did
I write down aiden orgasm? What does that because? So Miranda's like,
hey, do you want it? Maybe you want to like step back,
like take a beat, you know, and Carry's like, no, I'm
having so many orgasms, Like I'm having more orgasms than I even did with
Aiden the first time, which is like what does that even mean? Then
then she's like I feel like I was holding myself back because of Big.
That doesn't even make sense from a story point of view, None of it
makes sense. Then she keeps saying, was big a big mistake? Big?
Was She's so she this is the first time she says it. She's
gonna say it a lot, but now she's like, it's big, a
big mistake. You mean the guy that gave you all the ship and who
died because he died? Was he a mistake because he died because nothing else
went wrong? You were so happily in love with him and he died on
a peloton. The last scene that they might have forgotten that the writers wrote
for season one was them like her having like wine at the end of the
day with her husband, and he's like dancing her around the living room and
they're like singing to like some fucking yacht rock song. I forgot which one
it is. It's like, really, yeah, guy, but a big
mistake, so instead you chose him Aiden was just like, no, he
tried twice. He standed your floors, bitch, special lady. You did
special floors and you got him, and then you just didn't like him.
You had the ick. Here's the things annoying with writers when you're when you're
writing on a show like that when you bring back a show like that,
you have to do You have to break down the episodes and you have to
say you have to prove, yes, we have enough stuff for like,
here's what would happen season two. If we get a season two a Bible
right called the Bible right. You have to know where it's going in case
you get another season. You don't just go like, well, hopefully we'll
get one season and then then we'll figure it out. No, you're supposed
to have an idea of what could happen in the story. So if they
wanted this to happen, if they saw this at all, they should have
had her arguing with Big. They should have had shown some of the problems
in the relationship. Yep. So that then when he dies, instead of
instead of having her just glorify the relationship, she could have done that for
a little bit, but then been like, maybe I was in the wrong
relationship. Yeah, and he shouldn't have died. They should have just had
him, like I said, like cheat on her a bunch of times.
Right, she finds some receipts. That's an interesting story and it makes sense
to the character, and then it would have makes sense then it would make
sense that she's back with Aiden and thinking that Big was a mistake and she
could learn something. God, I wonder what so Chris knows who played Big.
You guys know he's been talking lately. I'm gonna, yeah, I'm
gonna pull up as you go on, I'm gonna pull something up that he's
been saying because he's he's kind of mad. He's like, wait a minute,
they all canceled, everyone left for me. I didn't do those Now,
I'm not speaking to what he did, right. I know he was
accused of some things and I can't say he didn't do them, but he's
saying he didn't do them. He's still now going to the press and maintaining
like, I did not do this, and they turned on me immediately,
right, And he must be I wonder if he's watching. Do you think
he's watching He's like, oh, come on, I'm sure his friends tell
him and I'm sure yeah, I'm sure they're like, oh my god,
this is like ridiculous. I wonder if he's friends with Kim Catrell. I
just don't know why they're trying to rewrite the history of the show. But
Aiden was always a cheese monster. So if you want to have if you
want to have Carrie decide that Aiden was always the guy for her, then
you have to show the opposite, which is that Big, the edgy like
sexy, older, successful guy wasn't so great after all, and that she
pushed away a really great, loyal, amazing guy for a guy that's an
asshole. Right, that's what you are. That's what they do, the
only thing you could do. But they didn't do that. They made Big
great and she gets him in the end and they have what we see to
be a beautiful relationship, and he tragically passes away, and now we're trying
to rewrite history and go it makes it as a mistake. How what have
they shown? Right, here's what he says. By the way they're they're
probably it seems like a little jab at Chris himself. That's what it seems
like to me. So Chris just gave an interview where he's not talking about
the show, but he has not given an interview since those assaults another year
and a half ago, and he said he maintains his soul transgression was cheating
on his wife. He said, I straight on my wife. It's devastating
to her and it's not a pretty picture, but it's not a crime.
And then he's he goes on and he's like, you know, I didn't
do those things. It was consensual. Now I can't speak to that again.
I believe these women, And I think he probably was not great because
a lot of people, like there was like five people that said that he
just like assaulted them. Yeah, but he said he never heard. It
says he lost a twelve million dollars deal for his tequila brand Don't Care,
fired from a TV show, dropped from a Peloton ad, and cut from
the season finale of and just like that, and was shunned by the industry.
So he's mad. You know, he's sixty eight. Wow, But
he has a new venture. It says, as of today, he has
a new venture. He's the face of Samuel Son, a bespoke suit company,
launching a campaign to raise awareness about men's mental health. That's a good
publicist. Yeah, okay, anyway, that's what's going on with him.
But yeah, what the fuck? Okay, So Charlotte's wants to Jake.
Yeah, Charlotte is telling her family that she wants to get take a job
back, and nobody cares in her family, nobody cares. The kids are
like great, and then Harry's like oh, and then she says, Harry,
you're gonna need to pick up the slack around here, and he's like,
yeah, well, I mean I don't work at all. You never
see almost any scenes of me at work. I just like come dust bunnies
and go to lunch. So that's that's cool. It's like, okay,
I'm gonna hold you to it. I'm gonna hold you to it, Harry.
She has to talk like she's a fucking cartoon character because it's just the
actress, Harry, and it's not just pizza. You have to pick up
the slack for the kids especially. Rock didn't say that, but it might
as well. It's so stupid. And so this okay, oh yeah,
this is where Miranda goes to work. And it's just gen Zers. I
just wrote it kind of mean, yeah, yeah, millennials. They're probably
millennials. They're not gen Z. I think gen Z is like my daughter's
like eighteen. So these girls are in there like mid twenties, but they're
supposed to be so much younger and talk so differently. Everything is like narcissism
and gaslighting and main character energy, and like, oh my god, every
every every young person on this show now as is a caricature. They're either
young, if they're in their twenties, they all talk like a caricature,
and if they're in their teens, they're all like, uh, fuck you,
you're an asshole. I'm just fourteen. I act however I want.
It's right. I'm so mad at the show. I know, I know,
I know. I know. It's hard to like we're trying to find
the line because we want to be funny, we want to entertain, but
we're mad, we're furious, which is why I'm using Chris Noff's men's mental
health app. What if this show is sponsored by that? We're like,
we don't know how to tell you this, because we do know. It's
kind of problematic that Chris was he was canceled for good reason, but he
does sponsor today's episode. Yeah, so that's and that's how that would be
kind of genius way to work in the ad. Like I didn't say it
was an ad. I just read you that thing. Uh huh, that
would be I'm not it's not, it's nothing. I want. I'm gonna
check him down. And just as if they want to reach out to our
show, listen, listen, I'll take it. We're on your side.
I mean, we don't know what happened and it's but it hasn't anyway.
Okay. Now I'm digging myself at all. So Chay Chase, Chase at
the vet clinic and works now, yes, where Chay works. Oh my
god, this scene, this scene is insanity. So Chase is suddenly like
a full time employee, okay, at the vet clinic. And Carrie's like,
oh, well, I thought I would take you to lunch, and
Chase says, well, I work through lunch. It pays time and a
half. Okay. So Chay is like a pretty famous comedian to the point
that people recognize them at their job. But now they have and they got
themselves a huge, fancy apartment. But now they have to work for minimum
wage and work through for work for time and a half, so they're making
an hourly wage. What I mean this is so, this is like crazy
people wrote this that have never had a job before, that have never done
there's no nobody that's done stand up, nobody that's oh yeah, we haven't
even gotten to the stand up don't. Don't, don't get me started on
the stand up. Okay, first of all, Carrie in very typical Carry
fashion for tens because they're best friends now, Carry doesn't give a fuck about
Miranda or anybody else. Carrie's like, I'm gonna go take you know what
I showed up. I came to where your bet places, and I'm going
to take you to lunch. But no because Carrie wants something. It's not
because like she doesn't want to take Chay to lunch. She didn't give a
shit about Jay. She's like, we've been living in these hotels and we
really want to live in your apartment that you can't afford. But we can
because I'm really rich because the big mistake I talked about, that big mistake
left me millions of dollars yep, yep it. So apparently we've we know
that Jay is uh what he air be in being their their their apartment which
is legal illegally airbian being it because they can't afford to be there even for
one more month, right, so they're sit comedy. Were they just buying
like for coats and like what were they doing with the money that they can't
pay one month of their rent in their apart right. It's a very very
good question. But so then we pop over to Anthony, who is hyped
up. Anthony is hyped up. I would not can you imagine it?
Anthony on cocaine. Oh god, maybe maybe that is the problem. But
he's hyped up about Giuseppe. He's yelling at customers. Yeah. And then
so Giuseppe comes in and I'm sorry, I know that he I'm sure the
actor really is Italian, but it kind of reminds me of when we would
do like problematic Italian like don't, yeah, don't and Tony it's it's on
the punch of the dough and I wrote this was written by an AI bot,
but like an unpopular AI bot, So like, I bet in the
robot world as just like us, just like people. There's like some bots
that they're like, that's a good one. This one's kind of dumb.
This one's kind of the guy we don't let's sit with us. And that's
the bot. They're like, oh god, just use a Larry bot.
I guess we don't have any other bots. And I was like, I
got this, says the AI bot, don't the punch and the dough and
then and then they Giuseppe stands behind Anthony and does like a from a scene
from Ghosts, like ghost Yeah, showing him how to do need do need
like this. But but Anthony's scared. I don't want to fall in love
with you. I can't fall in love with you. Now I'm making Anthony
talk like that. So Anthony says something. He's like, I don't know
something something, and it comes out that ant that Giuseppe's gay, and Anthony
really freaks out and he's like, you're fired. Which one. He's like,
I can't be attracted to you that you kill that. So Giseppe's like,
well, no, you can't do that, you know, because you
know this whole thing with every character, almost every scene is about the characters
who are in their fifties are so crazy and in their fifties and old school.
They don't know you can't just fire somebody that that's illegal. Hey how
would I know, I'm in my fifties. And all the women, it's
the same thing every scene and every storyline has to do with like they're so
much older. Yes, yes, yes, yes, brand in the workplace,
Charlotte in the workplace, all of them are like, but you're old,
and then we're just a fish. We're a fish out of water.
What remember the first season where they were just like what is a blog?
What is a podcast? Yes? And it's like you wants a black person?
I don't know, but I want to be friends with one. It
was years completely just lived in a time bubble. And now okay, so
now at all unfrozen caveman lawyer, all of it. All of it is
like, I'm just a cave man. I don't know from your lawsuits you
you're a jar stuff. I don't know. Yes, that was oh god,
Okay. So then Charlotte wants a new dress. This is now we're
going to get into this whole crazy like fat shaming. I don't even know
exactly what to say about this. She goes to buy she goes to this
place to buy this dress. I kind of love the dress, if I
may say, from the I like that little dress with a collar and the
belt. I thought, hute, No, So a huge mistake that she
was making here is that belt is supposed to sit high, yeah, high
waisted umpire, Like, oh my god, I was thinking the same thing.
In what world would she not know that would she not know that,
would she think the belt is supposed to like hug her right in the on
the waist? And who was with her? Was it Seema who was buying
the dress with her? Sema ou Sima? Yes it was? And so
yes, yeah, wasn't it not? No? I think it was elt
w It was lt It was Lisa, Are you sure? Okay? Maybe
right, because Sema doesn't really hang out with No, it was Lisa,
okay, So Lisa, Lisa would know that she's a fashionista. Yeah,
she would know that. She would be like, no, no, no,
this is just like if you look at any Chanel, which I guess
is supposed to be a knock up, like you look at anything, that's
what it looks like. It's totally fine, right, But then that's but
that's so written by like old white guys, because why would you not know
that? Of course. Of course, so she's complaining that the dress isn't
quite fitter, right, so the sales girl and I will now side with
Charlotte on this. Charlotte's not being a Karen, you know, She's just
like I don't know, like and I guess Lisa's like, we'll wear it
without the belt, and she's like, no, the belt like makes it
or whatever. So the sales girls like you so mean. Storms Off comes
back with like these big baggy dresses and she's like, do you want to
try these? These like might be more forgiving for your fat ass. So
Charlotte's like, what what is mad? Yeah, she's really mad. They're
both offic it. I'll take it. And then the sales girl looks at
Lisa and says, oh my god, like what did I do wrong?
And Lisa, instead of stay ending up for Charlotte's like, you didn't do
anything wrong. Your crime is that you're twenty five. Every oh my god,
I really do think a I wrote this. Every that line, every
scene is like they're twenty five, we're fifty five. Yes, oh my
god, we're different. In New York. The Driveway Close, it's like
the worst Woody Allen movie. It's like Hollywood Ending you ever saw that,
but like for this type of thing, it's so bad and so but then
you're right there only gets worse. But they make the sales lady so like
I kind of yeah, she was mean, but it reminded me of the
pretty woman thing that I've talked about, where I always took the sales lady
side over Julia Roberts, because we're all supposed to go like, yay,
I mean she is dressed. Julia Roberts comes in looking like walking syphilis.
She I'm sorry, but she does. And so this lady who is a
sales lady, she has a job, and she's like really probably tired,
she's probably a single mom. And like this woman like Julia Roberts comes in
is touching everything and is not wearing any like pants, and the lady's like,
can I help you. She's a little annoyed because like they've dealt with
theF before probably right, I'm sorry, It's not like it wasn't like profiling
or something. But she's a prostitute came into a Beverly Hill store. Like
they kind of have a right to say, oh, I'm sorry a sex
worker. Now I'm going to get canceled for saying prostitute. Look a sex
worker? A sex worker? And great, okay, we support all things,
yes, yay, it's equally yeah, and then this lady's sort of
like, oh god, I have this kind of shitty job. Should I
be a sex worker? But the sales girl could have been nicer about She
could have just been like, I think because here's the thing. Charlotte asked
her a question. She was like, don't you think the belt makes it?
And the girl just doesn't even answer her. She's like, you're so
right. She could have been like, yeah, it looks amazing. Let's
let's check out a couple of different options. Yeah. Of course, they
just make her into a care tature. It makes no sense. Right,
I'm gonna get in so much trouble about okay, sex or not what I
mean? Okay, okay, So Aiden is not being cool about the airbnb.
Right, So this is this, this I just have in all caps.
This is where I just started going all caps in my in my recap,
my recap in all caps. Yeah. So they go to I need
to I need to take the lead on this, just this paragraph. Please.
They go to the Chay's apartment. They're in the elevator and Aiden's like,
howdy know, handy no Chay and Carrie's like, oh uh something something,
and then Aiden says something about calls her her says her, and Carrie's
like, oh no, Chay goes by vay them pronouns, and then Aiden
says, oh okay, cool, so good enough, right, I don't.
I don't. I don't mind, Like if you want to add a
correction on the pronounce, which they do in every episode. And I do
know many non binary people, especially kids. My kids are friends with a
lot of non binary peoples, and nobody goes fucking crazy if you say it
wrong. They just they just don't. I mean, if you're doing it
on purpose, you're purposely misgendering somebody, of course, if you're being an
asshole, But if you make a mistake non binary people, I've never seen
a person freak get freaked out on But whatever, Okay, agreed, Right,
So that's fine. All that is to say that if you want to
mention it in the show and bring it up sometimes, fine. So then
Aiden gets off the elevator and they see a neighbor and they're all of a
sudden, Aiden's like a person from like the fucking eighteen hundreds, and it's
like, whoa, we're we're we know chan, we know they them,
Yeah, we're friends with them. I just wrote, what the ever loving
fuck this? These this writing team is just like, we hate non binary
people. We hate Chay And I don't I don't know how chay that the
actor Sarah Ramirez, who is saw binary Sada. I don't because Sada is
very woke and writing articles about this and their representation. Are they pleased with
this? Are they pleased with like it's basically being made fun of? Right,
they're making fun of They then pronounced by having Aiden called the person all.
I mean, that's ridiculous. And again I go back to the beginning.
Aiden is from New York, right, and then he so when he
yells, it reminded me of something. Maybe we don't have to have a
little aside. Yeah, when Aiden just yells, they then because he panics.
One time I was hiking run In with my friend and there was a
really cute guy walking towards us. So I said, okay, pretend say
something about your wife. So it's clear that I am not your wife,
so I am single. As though that that really hot model guy was going
to be like you're a single. Okay, that's not what happened. So
we're walking up and so I stay to my friend Greg, I just go,
yeah, just say so my wife just mentioned your wife. And so
he's about to do it, but I panic and I just yelled husband,
And that's what this reminded me of. And Greg's like, what the fuck
was that? And the guy, the really hot shirtless guy just looked at
me like the fuck. Everybody was like I just started yelling husband, which
is still like a funny joke, like we will text that to each other
sometimes husbands. Okay, but you wouldn't call a person. You wouldn't say,
oh, we're we're friends with theay them. They wouldn't record who the
person is with just pronouns. You're It's like the whole thing is pronoun pronounce
pronouns. Right, We're a bad dummy. We're so scared of pronouns,
like like this is just a big scary thing that people are constantly going to
get mad about. No, they're not exactly. So then they go into
the house and Aiden's being so aideny where He's like, where's the pepper mill?
Hey, yo, we can't cook without a pepper mill. Yes you
can, Yes you can. You're so rich that she has a twenty billion
dollars, but you can't just order grub hub until you like get some plates
a lot. Where's the pepper mill? Where is the just This is also
coming from a person who's at the same time, supposed to be the biggest
hick ever. It's like, I'm gonna get neat eggs that costs twenty six
dollars. I'm gonna lose all the country crid getting them eggs that are so
expensive. But then suddenly he's like, we need a pepper mill, and
he's obsessed in a gross that costs, yes, twenty six dollars. Williams
Sonoma, I guess this is where they go, right, He's just like
I just wrote, he's such a no that I can't stop vomiting. And
then then they try to do like some weird improv thing. They're like,
look at that. Look, we're just best friends. Remember. Oh god,
Carrie's like I was thinking that too, that we should get that too,
and then they kind of her near the end of the scene when they're
buying all this stuff, and then she says, we need a cutting oh
it was a cutting board. We need a cutting board, yes, And
then she goes, do you remember when you made a cutting board? And
then it just cuts to another scene. Right, Okay, either she improvised
that and they didn't cut they should have cut it. If there's nothing else
to add on to that, huh. It was so jarring to me.
Did you notice that she does remember when you made a cutting board and it
just cuts? He doesn't laugh, he doesn't respond. Yeah, they don't
know context. Great improv bro, Yeah yeah, I mean I just could
he just yet, I don't know. I think Jarring Orbit seems like a
terrible actor to me. I just think Aiden's I don't think, well,
yeah, him too, but it's the character. It's more than him,
like, it's just it's the character. But then, okay, just in
case we couldn't get madder, So Seema is going to be set up with
this hot shot the line they used to set her up with this movie directory
said, there's more. This is where I started texting. I started tasking
you about this because if I wasn't mad enough about the last one, I'm
like, these people are just obsessed with gay, who's gay, who's straight,
and who's binary? And they even straight? They like, yelled at
in her four times just because he's straight, that she has to sleep with
him. Yeah every straight. Oh, this one's a straight. But he
calls he uses the words hot shot again. Who how old are you?
You know? A big time hot shot movie directive from la no from London.
He's got a scarf? What the what? So cute English guy shows
up? The hot shot. He's a hot shot. He's a big a
hot shot. But isn't this is the guy for that she was dating before?
Was he not? I don't think so, she's just meeting him for
the I don't know this the same guy that was living that the French guy.
Oh he's English. This guy's English. God. I then, why
is she being such a bitch. I thought the reason she was being bitchy
was because, oh my god, this whole time, it's a totally different
man. This whole time. I thought that he. I thought that it
was the guy that lived in the same building with his ex wife, right,
that lived at his ex wife, that she would that she got so
mad at. I thought he was trying to make up an excuse to come
like hang out with her, that she was going to cancel the met ball
the met galas. Yes, yn't I named Robbie possibly, but I don't
that I don't remember. That would be hilarious if anyone could just check that,
because they just didn't try at all. So yeah, no, she's
just mad because she's in a bad mood and she can't sell. She wants
to sell something. Cute English guy shows up. Okay, okay, well
he if not, I'm sorry, but he looks exactly like the other guy,
so a little bit. It's basically should be a little bit creative here.
Yeah. So then we cut back to Miranda really quick. The interns
are being so mean. Oh is this one? Miranda's being annoying. They're
all having lunch and Miranda's shaking her salad like a Kardashian. Yeah. I
just they're just being mean for no reason and texting about her. Yeah,
they were, and she knew it. And she's like, I feel like
you guys are doing it. Yeah, okay, all right, Yeah,
just felt sad. But then so her boss comes out and the interns are
all pissed because they're not getting enough to do. And the boss, the
pregnant boss, comes out and she's like, your notes were so good?
Could you please send them to executive director? Like what, there's there's no
name or anything. I need to find it on Outlook because it's nineteen ninety
seven. Just go to Outlook and you'll you'll know. And there's no there's
not more than one executive director in outlook that you might send it to that
you don't you don't want to get a little more specific, right right,
Oh yeah it is so you know what, I do think the writer's strike
has a big point because these people are like, you know what, the
writer's strike isn't even on. But we're just doing this with AI. Yeah,
we're just gonna use it and not the we're not paying high price for
the AI either, like we said where it's the low end. Yeah,
I please send notes. Your notes were so good. She's like, I
just wrote down what you said. Send to executive director if can you give
me his name again? No, it's we don't want to come up with
a name. Ridiculous. It's so ridiculous. Then Charlotte turns fat shaming herself,
which was so uncomfortable. It's so uncomfortable, and for a show that
it's this is what I'm saying, it's supposed to be woke. It is
not woke. It is so old fashioned with and we'll get to it later
with Chase old stand up. But everything is like and there's something coming up
later with Charlotte. It's like they have no storylines for Charlotte. So it's
like, okay, Charlotte's just decided she's too fat, right really, and
she's not fat, by the way, Why would if you were going to
do that, why wouldn't you do that with a character that is actually struggling
with their weight. It's insulting it That's what I wrote insult she's like a
size four. Yeah, she's like a six at the most. I mean,
like, that's it's exactly what I wrote down. It's insulting. Yeah,
it's okay, insulting to women too, and then like, uh,
okay, So then so I just wrote back at Aiden and carries back in
Aiden and carries Nightmare. They start interacting with neighbors, remember, and she
finds She's like, hey, should stop, what do you all that's happening?
Aiden does not understand the assignment, But then it shows Chay looking around
Carrie's club because now Chay's living in the old that old apartment we loved,
trying on perfume, like I don't like this perfume, yes, and then
okay, and looking at Carrie's like weird platform shoes, which I guess we're
kind of funny. I guess that was supposed to be so hilarious. But
then so Chay comes over whatever because it's like, we gotta what's going on
over here and meets Aiden and they're they're being so how annoying if you were
Jay coming into that, they're being so cute scene they're all over each other.
Can you stop? Yeah? And then Chase says, hey, I
have a question for you. Why didn't you guys work out and mistake?
I made a mistake? What you didn't make a mistake? Nobody likes Aiden.
You are absolutely a one hundred percent right to go for Big. Everybody
who's ever seen the show was rooting for Big. Not one person was rooting
for Aiden. So you can't. You can't fucking gaslight us by going like
you guys all saw it. He was there the whole time, but he
wasn't. And okay, also let's point out the fact that Chase supposed to
be like such a comic. It was like, I don't have any spoons.
You had a pilot. You know, you don't have a coffee maker.
Seriously, even I have that, and I'm very grown up. Come
on, Oh, Because their pilot didn't go so immediately they had to leave
their apartment and they never bought anything they never bought a single thing because with
what money they're they're homeless. I mean, I don't even know a thousand
dollars a month apartment. Oh they're they're sleeping on the whole thing. Earlier
we forgot to just mention is that. Carrie's like, yeah, now you
don't have to like sleep on your in your grandmother's spare room. Like,
so your pilot doesn't go forward, so you immediately have to move back in
with your grandmother, your grandmama. What on what planet would that happen that
you have used all of your pilot money immediately and you're immediately homeless and have
to go work a minimum wage job and sleep at your grandmother's house, right
right, None of it makes sense, It's none of it tracks. So
then and we're still okay, all right. So then so Charlotte's on the
phone with Anthony. She never asked how Anthony is, Like he's trying to
tell her things every now and then, and she listens for eight seconds and
it's like, but I'm fat, Yeah, but Harry, and he's just
I mean, he really, let's I need to find an Anthony. I
there's a part coming up with Anthony later that I'm like, I hate the
show so much. Okay, So then Sema, oh, Sema and Carrier
getting their hair did yeah, and they're next to each other, but they
don't know they're next to each other. And then Seema's like, oh shit,
it's Gary, I gotta get out of here. And Cary's like,
Sema, where are you going? We need to talk this out. And
then Seema's like, okay, like I'm happy for you, but like our
Hampton's house, and she's like, and Carrie says, oh, I forgot
about the Hamptons. You forgot about the Hamptons. You forgot about a house
that's probably costing you like twenty thousand dollars a week or more. Yeah,
I don't know how much it would be a week, but yes, a
lot of money that she wouldn't have signed off on it. Seema wouldn't have
done it. She said, do I have your go ahead? Are we
doing this? Let's do it. Obviously she wants she can't do it alone,
so she carry money bags is going to do it with her. She's
like, oh I forgot Well we could all be there and if Chris Sema
doesn't want to be with like We've all had those friends too, where you're
like, no, but I'm dating Jason. Now, he'll just come,
He'll come with us, right, girls, night? Right? No?
Thanks, No, it's terrible. I'm totally on SEMA's side on me too,
and I understand. She's like, I just need a little space.
I don't want to yell it. She's basically saying, I don't want to
fight with you, so just give me a minute. That's all she's asking.
And Carrie's like, no, mattered a year ago. Yeah, write
about Sema for five seconds, Like what do you give a shit? Right?
I won't let you go. I won't let you get away from me.
You have like fifteen new friends this season and a new boyfriend. Okay,
So Seema's like we'll be fine. Okay, So back to Charlotte and
more with her body. I am trying on spanks because this is so original.
This is a really original storyline. Spanks. This is like a freaking
eighties storyline. Yes, Like I'm gonna squeeze in it and it kills me.
So she in typical Kristen Davis like she she always does the little cutesie
walk, like I said in her Kitten heels right where heels are, don't
but whatever, So she she walks in. I distress is so tight that
I can do it. I can't breathe. And she walks in. And
then so two ladies are just bizarre, like as though that it's an art
gallery. So I guess you have to just dress like that, right,
you gotta be so fabulous? And then a larger lady. Okay, I
honestly wrote this time, I'm not making a joke, so please don't get
mad. I really am not making a joke here. But was that Ady
Bryant? Oh? I don't know. I thought it was, but then
I was like, I feel like she's too young, but she sounds like
Ady Bryant. I don't think it was. I don't think it was either
it was. I guess you know it was Eady Bryant type is what they
But the whole storyline is that Charlotte feels fat, but here's a woman who's
way fatter, so suddenly I guess it's okay to be This is so maddening
because it's everything is like Charlotte getting her validation from outside. So here's a
somebody who's like has like pride in their way, like they don't care.
They're like showing it off. They're wearing like a middrif top. So suddenly
Charlotte's like, oh, I don't have to worry about my weight anymore.
Really after a lifetime, so women are given a lifetime of like, don't
be fat messages, and Charlotte's clearly been like struggling with this. But in
one you see one person who's you know, taken back being big, and
you're like, uh, throwing away my spanks, just like yeah, one
pass, rownie. And then she's like, you know what, I'm gonna
go back to work. I've changed my whole This is so insulting again because
she's she's not a large so yeah, what is the lesson here? So
there is a large lady, So it's like, well, I guess I'm
not that big. You know what my size four looks just fine? S
fuck up? Yeah, okay, these amost they don't know what they're doing.
Okay, okay, And then I wrote never forget let me remind you
how they fat chamed Samantha. Remember when Samantha in the first movie she moves
to La to be with what's the space Smith? And when she kind of
she's gained weight. I guess, you know, probably kim control gained a
little weight. So they made her wear a half shirt and tight low rise
jeans so that her like stomach came out right, and they and they're like,
what have you been eating? In La They all just say it.
Miranda says it, Charlotte says it, Harry says it. They fucking fat
make fat jokes for like a whole fifteen minutes, right, But now suddenly,
I mean, in one episode they've cured Charlotte's anything that she feels bad
about her way. I just think it's yeah, it's really weird. Okay,
So then annoying interns, So now we have wait so wait. So
the so Miranda's at work and the other bitches are like, oh okay,
like she just says something, she did something right again, and they're like
you're so perfect, and she goes, actually, I'm a sexually confused alcoholic
going through a gnarly divorce. I kind of liked that line, and I'm
like, whatever, Like as though they'd be that awful. They're like,
okay, thanks for the trauma dump. And then the boss comes in and
it's like I'm choosing you over them for maternity and then she's like, but
I shouldn't really do that because my privilege, Like it, what about the
other white girl who's there? She one of the interns is another white How
is it? What's her privilege? What the fuck right? Why would you
say that? And also, Miranda, you were a lawyer, you're like
a partner in a law firm, for you were not right consulting to like
even talking about privilege. It's like it's like, oh so, I mean
I can't imagine people women of color being like, oh so Miranda is going
to be the hero for saying like, no, but you should hire the
black person because privilege. Yeah, but but there's two of them. That's
so weird with the interns, like what does that even mean? Like young
privilege old? Like it makes it's it's like you said, like the writers
are mocking it. Yes, they're really dominantly making fun of it. Yeah.
I feel I really and truly feel like they're they're actually secretly conservative and
like fucking with us. So okay, to round out this episode, so
now we have our dinner with Gary, Aiden, Charlotte, Miranda, they
acause they have nothing better to do and than like see meet up with Aiden
again, Like I hate, hey, old friend, Remember when you guys
had a real tough time because she chose Big but then he died. She
shows wrong so then yeah, oh they talk about the chicken. I just
wanted to like throw, I wanted to throw myself. You have a chicken
door and then the chicken just like come wanders in and like comes up,
comes up the stairs or like what does that work? Like no one cares,
none of them care, No one asks anyone else how they're doing.
But then I thought you said Seema couldn't show up. She showed up for
Carrie, because that doesn't throwback if I may to win. Big wasn't supposed
to show up, and she's like, let's just have dinner without Big.
This is like first season and they're all sitting there and I think it was
Charlotte and Big shows up in the rain. He's like came in the rain
and the like I thought you said he wasn't gonna make And I think that
they were trying to do a little bit of a or not knowing these people.
They probably didn't even know that. I don't think I know it.
I think they just repeat storylines as we're going to see in the next episode.
It's with the They just repeat storylines and just like that, she went
to the farm and it was better than I could ever imagine. But they
don't show it. Don't show the farm. Maybe they do in the last
episode. I don't know it all. Okay, I think that's enough for
k I think it is, so join us next week or we don't know
how this is going to work. We might air it on it. We
might air the next episode in like a few days. Yeah, we may.
We may speed up a little bit. But I mean, look,
we've got a lot to say, and just spoiler alert, and if you've
seen it already, you know an episode nine, it just starts out with
in going Cello, so you've got that to look forward to, and we
have a lot of it just gets worse, it gets if you're watching it
with us. What I've seen so far with ten is ten was maybe the
worst thing I've ever seen in my life. So and just like that,
all right, love you guys, thank you for listening being here. Yeah,
Tuesday, Bye bye.
