Welcome to the end, just like that sex and the city fans podcast.

I created this podcast for sex and the city fans.

And just like you who love Carrie Bradshaw and are super excited to binge out on this

new HBO max series and just like this.

Let's watch the new chapter of sex in the city and just like that.

And talk about fashion, love, relationships, and life in New York city.

Hi, I am dimple.

Dang.

I am your host.

I'm a marketing expert, a podcast coach, and a podcaster.

And let's get this party started.

Hello guys.

Welcome back to, and just like that fans podcast.

And I also want to give you guys a special message before I start this episode today.

I want to wish all of you.

A very healthy, happy, prosperous, and joyful, happy new year, happy

2020 to make it the best year ever.

I hope all of your dreams come true this year and you know what, if you have.

No plans tonight.

Go ahead and binge out on all of the episodes of, and just like that vans.

And if you happen to also be a Emily in Paris fan, well, I

also have a podcast for that.

It is called Emily and Paris fans, and you can find it by going to

Emily and Paris fans, podcast.com.

I will link it in the show notes and have an amazing time and stay safe.

Whatever you're doing tonight.

All right, let's get down to it.

So, and just like that Miranda makes that with Shea and Carrie has hip surgery,

who would have seen that one coming.

Right.

All right.

So the scene opens up and Carrie is at her old.

Apartment and SEMA comes in and SEMA of course, kind of prances around, you

know, she's assessing every little thing.

She's looking at the walls and Carrie's going to go up the stairs and she

grabs an umbrella and you hear this big thump on the stairs and seamless,

like, what the hell are you doing?

And the look on her face was like, woman, what's wrong with you?

Security is like, well, my back hurts and you know, my back's been,

been bothering me, so I need a little help getting up the stairs.

and maybe it's like arthritis or whatever.

So steam is like, oh, you know what?

I know a doctor who can help you.

I'm going to call him right now and see if I can get you in.

And Carrie's a bit hesitant.

She's like, oh no.

I mean, there was no rush.

I'll just, you know, go whenever it seems like, no, she's the, do it all person.

She's like an action taker.

Like I mentioned in the episode before, so SEMA likes to get things

done and she is not going to wait until an hour later to do it.

She picks up the phone, she makes a phone call and she pretty much demands that Dr.

Pretended.

Get her friend, Carrie in the same day.

And so she did, and she even drives her to the doctor's appointment.

And Dr.

Patel, of course, by the name you should know is an Indian doctor.

That makes sense.

There's a lot of Dr.

Patel's out there and, he looks like a doctor he's handsome.

And he said, Can showing, carrying x-ray and carries.

I'll go.

That's not my back.

And he's like, yeah, hold on lady.

Hold on.

And he's like, well, when you think that you have arthritis, it's not arthritis.

You actually have a congenital birth defect and you're going

to need surgery on your hip.

So Carrie's like what?

But yeah.

So the good news though, is carrying.

Does not have grandma vibes, but the bad news is that she does need hip surgery

regardless because of this birth defect.

So, so be it.

All right.

So I'll just talk about, so let's talk about Charlotte,

the homemaker for a little bit.

So she's in the kitchen, she's on this zoom call with, you know,

the ladies from the school and they are, having a conversation.

And one of the ladies brings up something about rock and she is just like confused.

She's like, well, who's rock.

Like, I don't know who rock is and what's going on.

And basically what happened is her daughter.

Decided to change your name to rock and the school knew about it.

And it seems like everyone else knew about it except Charlotte

and Harry did not know about it.

And they're the parents.

And what turns out is that later you will see when she approaches her

daughter and she's like, what's going on?

And she's like, well, didn't you see my chick talk?

Charlotte shame on you.

You're behind by like 10 tech talks.

So you better catch up on keeping an eye on your child because you

know, you don't know what can change between one tech doc to the next.

And literally that's how you're going to get your first latest and

greatest updates on your daughter, rose, who is now called rock.

So I think you're going to have to kind of let this one's thinking.

Okay.

So Carrie has surgery and, you know, she gets back from surgery

and her friends are so sweet.

Charlotte of course is like the one taking charge.

And she's saying, I'm going to put a.

Spreadsheet together to see how, we can help carry and who can take care

of her on which days, and be with her.

So she's not all alone.

And those are the kinds of friends that I think everybody should have.

The friends that are there for you when you really need them.

Not just like the friends that are like, oh, let's go out and that's it.

Or they forget about you when you really need them.

Like I remember when I lost my mom and.

You know, I felt like a lot of people, like they were not really there for me.

It was more like all about them still and their life and their, this, and never

really asked, like, how are you doing?

You know?

And it is what it is.

But I think it just, I think when something like that in life happens,

you start to think about things.

So with Carrie, she's had a major life event because I would

consider surgery a major life.

And it's making her think and evaluate, and she is at this point, very

thankful for her friends because they are good friends, you know, they are.

So the verdict is that Carrie's going to have to be on crutches

for two to three weeks, and then she's going to have to have physical

therapy for six to eight weeks.

So there's of course, There's a little bit of recovery time.

And then they also told Carrie no strenuous activity and Carrie, and

of course Gary said no problem, because she does not plan on having

sex with anyone in the near future.

She just lost her beloved husband, Mr.

Big.

So that part's not going to be a pro.

But the part that is going to be a problem is the fact that Carrie

cannot wear heels for this whole time.

So that is a mucho problemo.

Okay.

Heels and Carrie go together.

All right, like wine and cheese go together.

So poor Carrie.

She can not wear her heels, but don't you worry.

By the end of this episode, she is back to her fabulous self.

All right.

So let's talk about Miranda because there's a lot that happens with Miranda

on this episode, and it is absolutely jaw dropping like O M G Miranda.

But I know if you've watched like the previous episodes,

you know, like an episode four.

What was probably the prelude and what was gonna happen, before we get into the

real juicy stuff, Miranda is opening up some Amazon boxes, and as she opens

up, a box that was actually not for her, it was for, her son's girlfriend, some

lube and some socks for the son, And so she opens the box up and there's a book.

She pulls it out and the book title says quit like a woman.

And then the subtitle is the radical choice to not drink alcohol in a

culture, obsessed with alcohol.

And so instantly she thinks.

Charlotte must've sent me this book because you know, Charlotte's been

kind of nagging at our a little bit.

Like, for example, when she went to the comedy club, she had, three drinks

and Charlotte was like, are you sure you want to have that many drinks?

, you know, Charlotte's kind of keeping an eye on her ever since she found her.

Backpack that had the three empty Tito's bottles in it.

So Charlotte is going to be, one that's gonna kind of keep an eye on her.

so then Miranda is talking to Carrie and telling her about the book.

And she's saying, I can't believe that Charlotte didn't have the.

To like, pick up the phone and just say, Hey Miranda, I think you're an alcoholic.

And you know, I got you this book, but basically Miranda said

she just Amazon tour the book.

So that's like a new word that Miranda created by the way.

and the interesting thing about this whole story is that in reality,

So the interesting thing about this story is, if you listen to this a

little bit later on, we're going to talk about where the book came from,

but the book actually did not come from Charlotte as she thought so interesting.

So Carrie has had her surgery and she's in the hospital recuperating.

Charlotte is there and Miranda's there.

And Carrie has to actually go to the restroom.

She can't wait.

So she gets Charlotte to help her.

And Charlotte's actually gotten really strong and she's able to juggle that.

And so while she's doing that, Che calls and she's saying that,

you know, she's here to see Carrie, she brought her some food.

And Carrie is not really in the mood for any visitors.

And she's just wants to be left alone at this point.

And she's saying, just get rid of her, do not let her come upstairs.

So then of course, Miranda goes downstairs to meet her.

And she's obviously enjoying her company and she's excited to see her

because on episode four, you know, they had this little moment and I think

she's got like the hots for her now.

So they're talking and, and, you know, hanging out and eating

and so Miranda.

Start sharing, with her that, you know, she felt trapped.

When she was working at her law firm and that life is too short to feel that way.

And that's why she quit.

So that's an interesting observation because I think a lot of people do

feel trapped, like, especially in big law when they're working like

12 hours a day, 15 hours a day, and they really have no quality of life.

So like you have a kid and a baby and you have no time to spend with the baby.

It can, it can be really difficult.

So Miranda just decided.

Life is too short.

And I think, you know, she came to this decision.

I'm assuming it was during the time of the pandemic and which makes sense.

Cause I think a lot of people have evaluated their life and they have

started to think about what really matters to them and what's really important

and what's not, and that is also why there's like this huge, you know,

great resignation happening now where

people have had time to think silently.

And by that, I mean, There's a time when people were always so busy

and consumed with going to places and traveling and meeting people

in real life and doing things.

But back in March of 2020, everything came to a halt, right?

Everything was shut down and because everything was shut down

and there was nothing to do.

People were forced to spend time alone.

With guests who would themselves and that caused them to have

a lot of self-reflection.

And I think that's the same thing with Miranda.

I think she knew she was unhappy for a long time, but she really

wasn't doing anything about it.

Right.

And I think that having that alone time to think about what's important to

actually, realize like life is short.

Like we may not even be around.

You know, the pandemic could wipe us out.

Like we don't know what's going to happen.

And she made that decision to quit and you know what good

for her, because life is short.

And I think it's important to think about those things.

Okay, so in the next scene, Carrie's finally coming home from the hospital

and Anthony picks her up and he's got like his hot fella's baked goods truck.

Cause that's like the business that he's doing now.

And they want to drop her off safely, but obviously, you know, she just had surgery.

She can't really walk.

So he says, okay, he's going to get the precious cargo, which

is carry that he's referring to.

And Carrie is talking to Charlotte and she's saying, you know what?

I not quite comfortable with this.

I don't really want him to drop me.

So then Anthony says, don't worry.

Like I'm not the one who's going to be carrying you.

It is prince boner.

Who's going to be carrying you.

So this is like one of his workers.

So the concept behind this hot fellows, baked goods truck is that the staff

that he has that works for him are supposed to be hot, make sense, right?

It's on brand so hot.

Fella's he's got hire some hot fellows.

So there you go.

So you've got this muscular good-looking guy and he's like,

are you ready for me, Carrie?

And Carrie's just got this big smile on her face and she's blushing.

And she is ready.

In fact, she's more than ready.

She totally enjoyed the experience of having this handsome muscular

man carry her to her apartment.

So I'm glad you had gotten to have that moment, Carrie, because girl.

You deserve it.

You have been through a lot losing Mr.

Big and even losing your friend, Samantha.

I'm sure that's been hard.

And then having to have hip surgery when you didn't even realize, like you had

this birth defect, that's a lot girl.

So in the next scene, Carrie is doing the podcast from home since she

can't really get around that much.

And then.

And then she's talking about the fact, that her girlfriends

are always there for her.

And then she brings up the story of when Samantha Jones had to

pull out her diaphragm with her bare hands and it was stuck.

And, you know, she had to just go get it out and.

And, you know, when she was telling the story, you could see

the look on her podcast boss's face and then the other guy.

And they're just so happy.

Like finally, Carrie gave us some good content for the podcast, meaning they

wanted something a little bit juicy.

They wanted something a little bit scandalous and you know, they got it.

So they're like, well, if it's.

The painkillers that they gave carry, whatever it is, keep

giving them to her because we need more of that and bring it on.

And,

and Charlotte, it was there.

So she overhears this And she's like, Carrie, did you hear what you just said?

And Carrie's like, yeah.

Did you, and you know, Charlotte is the prim and proper one.

And so she's concerned that Samantha might have an issue if she hears about what was

said on the podcast from the media, or in a article, our listens to the podcast.

And she doesn't know about it ahead of time.

She urges Carrie to reach out to Samantha

and tell her that her name was mentioned because you know, of course,

miss goody two-shoes, she's got to interfere in everyone else's life.

So anyway, Carrie takes her advice and I think it wasn't just because of that.

I think Carrie Mrs.

Samantha, and she just wanted a reason and an excuse to reach out to her.

So she did reach out to her and they had a dialogue about it

and, and Samantha was very cool.

And she was like, friendly in that sense, but the moment that Carrie typed, I

miss you, you would see the three little dots that means like, okay, Samantha was

going to type something, but actually she changed her mind and she didn't type it.

She didn't send it.

So their friendship is not quite back to normal, but I think that Samantha is still

holding some feelings toward what happened and you know, that's that for now?

So in the next scene, Charlotte and her husband go to the school to talk

to them about this whole like rose slash rock situation in the schools.

Not really caring too much about what they have to say.

And they're just saying like, listen, This is the decision that's been made,

and this is pretty much what it is.

And maybe you guys should just get therapy and counseling for you guys.

And I think that leaves Charlotte and hairy little bit baffled because they're

not quite sure what's going on with their daughter and this whole identity

change and where it's going to lead her.

Or if it's just a phase that her daughter was going through, or is

this something more permanent and.

. I knowing Charlotte definitely concerns her.

So, they're gonna have to figure out a game plan soon on what to do there.

So then the next scene Miranda is with Carrie and Carrie happens to

be taking a nap and the doorbell rings and it is Che again.

And when Miranda finds out that she's here, she's like runs to the

restroom and she tries to fix herself up and make sure that she looks good.

She opens the door and she's got a big smile on her face.

And then Shane comes in, Shay's also smiling.

And she's like, oh, I brought, tequila and a new microphone for Carrie and Miranda

is like, well, Carrie's sleeping, but Hey, you know, maybe we could do some tequila.

of course Miranda.

You would say that because you do like to drink lately, don't you?

And you're just so happy that there's tequila in the daytime just for you.

All right.

So they open it up and they started doing some shots and it wasn't

like one, it was probably like.

Between them.

They probably finished like half the bottle and shots.

I mean, I would say, cause I just saw them do one after another, after.

So they're saying that Carrie's taking an app, so they should probably keep it down.

But the keeping down thing didn't really last for too long, because

once they were a little bit toasted, , they were being pretty loud, but

wait, it gets worse from here.

So it's not just that, but after the shots, chasing that, she's

got to leave soon because she's got like, she's got a gig somewhere

that she has to be, be there for.

And Miranda's like, well, if you weren't in such a hurry, I would

ask you to shop gun me again.

And then Che starts kissing her on the neck.

And one thing leads to another.

And basically they're having a full fledge make-out session.

And Miranda is not being very quiet during the whole thing too.

So Shay at one point is putting her mouth to cover her mouth up because she's

being really loud and they know Carrie's there, but I mean, do they really care?

Cause why are they doing this in front of her poor Carrie, like poor Carey, really?

And Carrie wakes up from her nap and she's got to go the restroom and she's

calling for Miranda and she's calling for Miranda and Miranda is not coming

into helper, but that's because she's really occupied at the moment you guys.

And then Carrie looks around and she sees the mirror that's in her bedroom and in

the mirror, she sees a reflection of her podcast boss with Miranda going at it.

And she's just kinda like, oh, M G like, you've gotta be kidding me.

Is this really happening?

Yeah, it was really happening.

It was not a bad nightmare.

So then poor Carrie again, she grabs her diet peach Snapple bottle, and then

she has to pee in there and at least she was able to do that, but then she had

to crawl back on the bed and as she was crawling back on the bed, the bottle tilt.

And her P went all over the bed and the sheets, and now Carrie is really upset.

She's really frustrated.

And then when Che finally leaves, Miranda's like going to

the restroom and she kinda like forgot that Carrie was even there.

She left the door open and Carrie's like, can you close the door?

And then Carrie is telling her, like, I'm really upset.

Like how could you be doing this in my apartment?

And you're here to help me.

You weren't here to help me.

I needed you.

Where were you?

And this point, Carrie has kind of got a reason to be frustrated, I would say.

So when Miranda was like changing the sheets, she says

to Carrie, how was your nap?

And Carrie says, well, it was great up until the point.

I saw my best friend having sex with my boss in the kitchen,

and then she went her bed.

Cause there was no one there to help her.

Oh, Miranda, you have not been a good friend.

I mean, you have been a bad friend and a bad, bad girl too.

All right.

So then they're talking and.

Carrie says like you're married and you just had sex in my kitchen with my boss.

And then Miranda says I'm unhappy in my marriage.

And she starts getting really emotional and you can see she's

got tears in her eyes and she says, unhappy in her marriage.

She feels trapped.

She hates her marriage.

She hates her life and it just isn't enough.

And at that point, caring, calms down a bit because I think

she feels bad for her friend.

And she's like, wow, I didn't really know that you were this unhappy.

And on top of it, you were this unhappy for, for this long, right.

So here's what I don't get.

Why is Miranda staying with.

Like, is it for the money now?

Because she can't afford her own place because she's not working in big law

are why is she because Brady's grown up and they don't really have a marriage.

They don't even touch each other.

They probably don't sleep in the same beds.

It's not really a real marriage, so I don't get that part.

But, you know, I think that she's got to make some changes because

otherwise she's going to be miserable.

And all she's going to do is sit there and eat ice cream with chia seeds on it.

and then Carrie's talking about Miranda and her drinking and Miranda says,

well, if I really had a problem with drinking, I would just quit instantly.

And I don't think I have a problem with this.

and then Carrie wants to know if she's going to quit.

The other thing that she did in the kitchen and Miranda said,

she doesn't want to give that up.

And she's never felt that way before.

So the situation it's going to be continued, there's going

to be more of those going on.

And I don't know where it's going to go, but it seems like a very.

Slippery slope considering she is still legally married.

so the next day Miranda's listening to.

Jay's podcast while she's making herself a cocktail.

And she just seems to be on cloud nine, still from, her

makeup session the other day.

And then she goes to her phone cause she got an alert and

she looks, and it's Amazon.

They sent her an email to ask her if she's been enjoying her

purchase of quit, like a woman.

And what's interesting is that was the pivotal moment where she's

like, oh shit, It wasn't Charlotte.

It was actually me.

It was me who ordered the book when I was intoxicated, but I

don't remember ordering the book.

So it's like, oh my God, reality check.

And then she goes to the kitchen.

She takes all the bottles of liquor and she starts dumping them in

the sink and throwing them away.

One by one.

But you guys, I don't know if it just going to be that simple

for her to give up drinking.

I don't know what you guys think, but I think that it's, it's not

something that she can just throw everything in the trash and give it up.

I think that she's going to be then going to a bar to go have a drink.

If there's none at home or she's going to go back to the store and buy more bottles.

So we'll have to see, I don't think it's just, and then we,

I don't think it's going to be as easy as she thinks, because.

Until she solves her problems and she learns how she can be happy.

Like there's just no way that she's going to be able to give it up.

She's going to fix her issues first.

So that's what I would say.

Miranda, go get some help, fix your issues.

And if you need help to stop drinking, you might want to get some help there too.

All right.

So then she starts to wonder, well, great.

I mean, what else did I.

Order when I was drunk, you know, and it really makes her think

about the things that she's done.

And it just a little bit of a, it's like a big reality check for her at this point.

All right.

So in the next scene, Charlotte is talking to Carrie and

she's telling her about Harry.

And she's saying how she thinks that Harry said the school's overreacted.

But what if we under-react and then carries us Charlotte, when have

you ever under reacted to anything?

Yeah.

Good point, Carrie.

That's true.

Charlotte never under reacts to anything.

She's always overreacts to everything.

Yes.

Great.

One, Carrie.

So Charlotte's still upset about the whole name thing, and she's just beginning

to question, like what's going to happen in the future and this is just

a phase or is this something permanent?

Yeah.

What do we do about it?

So we'll see what happens.

Alright.

And the next scene, it's time for Carrie drum roll to go get her physical therapy.

So Carrie's waiting in the waiting room and this really handsome

good-looking guy comes out and his name is Travis and Travis is going to

be Carrie's hot physical therapist.

And so.

He takes her back and he's doing an assessment and he asked her

the question, so caring and like, what is your long-term goal?

And Carrie answers to get back into heels.

And so he's a bit baffled.

He's like, is that it?

Is there anything else?

And she's like, Nope, that's it to get back into heels.

So that is a Carrie Bradshaw that I know from sex in the city.

Yes, girl, you better get back in those heels so you can go conquer New York.

And then Carrie goes back to book another appointment and they

inform her that, oh, we're sorry.

Travis is actually not covered by insurance, but you know, Emmett is,

so you're going to have to like, do your sessions with Emmett and Carrie's

like, oh no, no, no, no, thanks.

I will pay out of pocket for Travis.

So she's like, Travis is worth it.

I need to be in my head.

And while I am doing all this, I need to actually have a good time.

And she goes for the option of paying for it herself.

And then, and just like that three months later, Carrie was back in her

amazing heels and her amazing outfit.

And that was episode five.

Let's wait and see what happens on episode six, because I.

Episode four is around the time when things are starting

to get really interesting.

So I have a feeling the rest of the season is going to be full of like some

more surprises and it's going to heat up.

So they might even bring the sex back in the sex in the city.

All right.

You guys have an amazing, happy new year and wishing everyone a

happy 20, 22 filled with love.

Good health, joy, happiness.

And prosperity.

I will see you guys next time.
